The election excitement has Gained
down TO q dead sea subsistence, with
out a Democratic Notification. Ajubi-
lee was threatened and, at one time,
was seriously imminent. But the eX-

! Democratic rooster, was also lacking.
Although the election returns are
" distractingly wrong" the Republic
cans have the fearful consolation of
knowing tbat the discipline of adVer-
sity il invaluable. And especially is
it so, in view of the complexion of the
FOrty-tOurth Congress aud the Presi-
dental event Of '76. On election day,
500 white Republicans in this county
were non cst iHUeHtUS. This criminal
/ apathy and inactivity are the soul rea-
sons for our defeat. The colOred vO-
tiers were out in full force and did their
/ whole duty. IL it,true that the African
suii,ragan is more jealous of his rights
and the cOuntry's good than the intel
