WELL DONE ALABAMA.--The dispatch
es inform us that the recent Democratic
Convention of Alabama--one of the largest
ever held in the State, every county but
three being prcscntcd-rcnomiuate Gov
crnor Geo S. Houston, the old wheel
horse In doing this, they did very we'll
Governor Houston is in many respects II
most remarkable man. Although nearly
three score and ten, he is as fresh and Wig
orous as when, thirty five years ago, he
first took his scat in Congress He has
fine mind, strong argumcntativc powers, a
ndomitabc will and energy, and has won
hold upon the affections of the people which
cannot be shaken. We witnessed portion
OF his canvass two years ago, and it was,
wherever he went, n continuous triumph
al march. AsWe saw men who had been
strong. Republicans cveE-sincc the end of
the wa. cOmc':o him at the close OF his
s'eechcs and swear by all the gods that,
convinced by his powerful appeals and ar
gumcnts, they would never more act with
that accursed party. -.
From 1871 till 1861, Gov. Houston con-
tinunsly represented the Florence District
in the House of Representatives, with the
exception of one term, when he declined an
election. In the winter of 1865 he was
elected tc the United States Senate, but
IKE $hc other members then chosen from
the Confederate States. was not allowed to
take his seat. In 1874 he was elected Gov
ernor, running ahead Of every other man
on the Democratic ticket, and receiving
1880 majority over man who had been
elected two years previously by 8, ,497 votes.
This is his past record.
The State election in Alabama comes off,
under the new Constitution, some time in
August, we believe. With Governor
Houston at the mead of our ticket, and the
true men who are, associated with him, with
the terrible spit in the ranks of Alabama
Radicalism, that State will give glorious
endorsement for the Southern Democracy,
in this, our Centennial Presidential year.
When she spseaks, it will be with Il voice
of thunder.

 Tilden 174; this is certainly the re- suit" The Republican element at once accepted it as joyful ending of the long suspense with which they have waited for the result of the pres idential election. The clOseness of the contest, the Slowness with which the returns have come Tn, and the contra dictory nature of the dispatches which have been hourly coming over the wires for two days, combined to carry the public anxiety to an extreme point Of tension. Large throngs of citizens have waited about the telegraph office, night and even during the day time Business seems to have been almost given over. There has probably never been, even in the midst of the war when Lincoln was reelected, such an intense feeling among all classes of people. IL well may be imagined there | fore with'what unbounded demOnstra- lions of enthusiasm the Republicans the apparently decisive news of Hayes election. Cheer after cheer went up from the delighted throng; Dontires were lighted, bells were rung, md the Centennial cannon boOmed put joyous salute. Several houses were illuminated and flags were hung put of windows. The rejoicing con- inued far into the night, sounds of patriotic songs and cheers for Hayes md Wheeler being heard long after midnight.

 NEW YORK, November 10.-The Posts evening edition says Our spe- cial dispatches from Florida leave no reasonable doubt that Hayes has a majority in that State. These dispatch es are confirmed by an examination of d dispatch to the Times giving the first returns by counties which have been received. The result in Louisia- na is yet to be definitely ascertained, but it is reasonable to expect republican majority. It seems safe to take South !
