ENCOURAGING.

A glance around tho political horizon
at this time is greatly reassuring. 1t is
now as nearly demonstrated as the
nature of tho case admits Of, that Sam
uel j. Tilden will receive a majority of
the votes cast on the 7th Of N November.
1t is made to appear by reference to
the figures representing the total cleo
toral vote, and placing on either side
tho States which are now regarded us
certain, that the thirty-five votes Of
New York will be In great degree de-
cisive of the general result. The fight
in that State is astern, one and is being
waged on each side with full appre-
citation of the magnitude of the stake.
The leaders of the Democracy there,
however, arc even now not in doubt AS
to the result. Gov. Tflden himself,
whose sagacity as Il politician has rare
ly failed to enable him to approximate
the result of an election In his own
State, says confidently that he win car
ry tho State by 10000 majority.
Tho violent measures OF the out-go-
ing Administration only tho more
surely presage its fall. Tho North,
with unanimous voice, condemns the
infamous abuse of the army of tho
United States by President Grant, In
sending it upon the shameless errand
vi ""''Iit@p"S Iic pcop'c VI 'oouth SfaT-
olina. 1t has at last plainly appeared
that this is an Administration that
can not again bo entrusted with the
power OF the Federal Government.
The whole character Of the cam
paign us conducted by the Democrats
has undergone significant change.
From this until the day of election an
aggressive line of policy will be pur-
sued and the war will bc carried into
the cnemy's country. Wefcel justified
in anticipating for the November cleo
ton an amount OF enthusiasm and a
sweeping success nearly If not quite up
to the tidal highwatcr mark Of 1874
