We publish in this issue dispatches
giving the results of the election i'll a
number of states The Republicans are
jubilant and seem to console them
selves with the assurance that the few re
verses OF the Democratic party are in
dicative of a change in the tide OF
popular opinion which threatened
to defeat them. in every state.
AS it is, the signs are hopeful andiif the
democratic party, true to herself, Will
fight against the corruptions and usur'
pations of radicalsm success will re-
ward the effort. The adoption of re-
publican currency ideas has des
feated the party in two States.
Experience may not always be the
most pleasant teacher but her lessons
may be instrumental in teaching the
democratic leaders to avoid the errors
which in state elections have brought
disaster upon the party. Grant, en-
eouraged by the partial successes of
this year, has renewed his grip upon
the republican party and will, we have
every reason to believe, whip them into

TEE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The result of the election in Virgis
MIA for members of the Senate and
House of Delegates is generally very
satisfactory. Good men who woul d
have proved themselves an honor to
the state may have been, and doubts
less were, defeated in some districts and
counties, but upon looking over the
entire field the result isl satisfactory.
That infamous doctrine, reputation,
has received we believe, fatal blow.
Where it was brought into the canvass
as i'll Roanoke county, its advocates
have been defeated and the people
have again endorsed the wise policy
advocated by those who maintain that
Reputation is present and future ruin
10 the best interests Of the common
wealth. Among the first duties of the
Legislature will be the election OF a
lTuitcd States Senator. While we do
not believe IN inc uoctflne tudI Tic
interests of the state should be sacrific-
ed to local claims, we do holdsthat the
Valley is justly entitled to this honor.
She can present men who possess every
necessary qualification, who have al
ways proved themselves worthy OF the
confidence of their constituents and
who, whether in the maintenance OF
the honor of Virginia when nothing
more than heated discussion excited
the nation, or during that period when
hostile armies threatened its entire
distraction, were true to her interests
Such nscan be found in the Valley
and unless other sections can present
their superiors, the Valley is entitled to
the honor. Other Questions OF. impor~
lance may occupy the attention OF the
General Assembly during the ensuing
session. Whatever they may be, our
readers will be kept fully advised.
