"a WHAT AN ALABAMA DEMOCRAT THINKS OF
THE ELECTION. editor of the Columbus
fAla) Sun is q Democrat, and has been active
in the interest of the 'twbite mans" party in
Alabama. 1t would naturally be presumed
that he would feel as exultant in regard to the
recent elections as the majority of the exhlbi-
tors of long confined poultry feel. Such is not
the case, however, for he has been giving his
fellow Democrats some common sense remind
ers. He is able to see mo party success.
Inc political revolution, and save Snat 1if the
Democrats look on the recent results as indica-
lions of new confidence in their party, they
will be doomed to as bitter disappointment as
that which the parry in power is now feeling"
There is no new found love for the name of
Democracy, he thinks, and affirms that "the
Democratic party, as such, is dead beyond the
hope OF resurrection" He gees as one reason
for the change in the aspect of affairs the alb
sence of national issues which would draw the
lines of party closely, and notes as an element
of Encouragement to the successful party the
fact that the free-traders and expansonists Of
the West joined hands and voted with the pro.
tectionists nd contractionists of the East.

The Alabama Riots .

NEW YORK, Nov 10.-The United States
Marshal at Montgomery, Ala, reports official
ly, under the date Of Nov. 4th, that nine per-
sons were dead at Eufaula on the morning of
the Sd, as the result of the riot on the I'd.
Only one was white man. He says the firing
was commenced by the whites, on pretext Of
defending Democratic negro at the hands of
others of his race, whereupon orders Of "Fall
in company A. ETC., were issued in loud
tone by parties in the crowd. This would show
previous organization and preparations on
the part of the whites, No negro was seen
armed or firing, which accounts for the heavy
mortality among the blacks. The casualties
among the whites are supposed to have been
caused by their own friends.
A riot also occurred at Springhill Barbour
county, during the counting Of ballots. the par
ticulars of which were not received at this
place.
Judge E. NJ. Keils Of the city court of Eu-
faula, was one Of the United States supervisors
of the election It is thought that the object
of the conspiracy was to destroy the poll box,
which contained large majority of Republic
can votes and in the emeute to kill Judge
Keils The box was destroyed, but Kiels es-
capped. His son, only 15 years old, was, how
ever, MORALLY wounded.
Some rotous demonstrations also occurred at
Mobile, the particulars of which have not been
received by the marshal.

between the governor and treasurer of the
state and the holders of Virginia bonds was
held to-day. The sessions were secret. Re

Mccullough, late Secretary of the United
States Treasury, made speech representing
the views of the holders of Virginia bonds in
ENGLAND. He states that the foreign bond
holders were inclined to be lenient towards the
state.
Nothing more is known Of the governors re-
port than that it gave a most woeful picture of
the pecunary condition of the state.

Counting Disease /.

The individual may be said to court disease who
exposes himself to the miasmatic influences which
give rise to chs and fever and other maarious cpl
denies and endemics, without previously terrifying
his system against their insdious attacks by the
of protective medicinal agent. The hardest con-
sitution is by no means proof against such malades
much less one naturally weak or bilious, or the an
tagonistic power of which is lessened by irregular
habit Of body. The inhabitants of the bottom lands
of the South Of the cearings Of the West of sub
urban districts where sunken lots exist of every To-
cality OF the American continent, in fact where
laria is epidemic sporadic, declare that the only
ever used is Hostetter's stomach Bitters. There
