The enthusiasm manifested throughout the
country upon the announcement OF the action
of the National Democratic Convention, and
the universal acknowledgements, even amoog
the leading men of the radical party, that
the ticket is the strongest one that coulo
possibIy have been selected, afford marked
AID inspiritiug contrast to the public reception
ofthe ticket nominated at Cincinnati. The latter
hears the names, not Of the men who have
been prominently connected with the party
mt the old and tried leaders who have led the
party on to victory 10 many a hard fought
f,h,, and whose force and geulus-maign
tbouph they were-have shaped the policy
that has governed the couotry tor the last
sixteen years. but those 1t lediocre, local poll
ticans, whose chel qualifications tor the position
they bold is the questionable one OF being
obscure and almost unknown, and who were
selected solely as compromise men, and to
settle the irrecouciliable differences between the
friends of their SUP errors. The democratic
ticket, on the contrary. has upon it the names
of the two most prominent man ID that party,
men whose names have been household words
one for many years, and the other since ne
inaupurated the reform movement, 10 his Own
party 10 the city of New York, which has
developed into power, the result OF which
has been the emancipation of the empire State
from thu corrupt rammaoy, canal and custom
house rings, aud that is destined, wlthlo the
next FIVE months, to sweep with irresistible
force over the entire laod and remove from
the high places Of the Government the rob-
bers who have been SO rapacious that they
have nearly ruined and impoverished once
thrifty people and prosperous country; and
when that shall have been effected, the angel
of peace will smile upon the Union again, and
plenty and happiness will resume their old
places, and the laborer will have employment
at remunerative wages, aud the now prevailing
discomfort will exist only as dreadful dream
that We would wish obiiterated from our
memory.

"Tilden is nominated, the democracy is strip
ped and 10 the field, everything is ready for
the great fight, and now the question arises ::
Are the rebels 10 the South goiog to permit
the coored voters to use, untettered, The elective
franchise? This is no child's question. 1t is
one which is in the lips Of every loyal aid SIN
cere patriot 10 the !aud. Will these men be
allowed 10 vote ? If not, is the South ready
for the coDst quences The republican party
made these men citizens, and it will protect
them 10 their citizenship. There is truth in
this which force aud intimidation Oh the part
OF the White League will make.them fully re-
aza." So says the Washington Republican,,
and so will echo all the radical papers ln the
laud. The question asked is difficult one
to answer, because there are no rebels 10 the
South. If the words white people were sub.
stituted for rebels the difficulty would no
longer exist, and We should answer, without
hesitation. yes, they are going ITO permit tue
colored voters to use, unfettered, the elective
franchise" and thus at once remove the ques-
ton from the lips or every loyal and siucere
patriot 10 the land" But, then, if they we're
to 90 % with their interrogatories, and ask, are
the negroes in the South going to permit the
f,w-very few-of their OWL number who would
like to vote the democratic ticket t. use, unfet-
tered, the elective franchls;?'' we should,
with as little hesitation, answer no, because in
every city in the South where negro has
heretofore attempted to cast democratic vote
be has been inundated aud naIlreated, and,
10 hundreds of Instances, killed by people Of
his own race, and what has been the rule in
the past will, doubtless, prevail 10 the Dext
election. Il is notorious fact throughout the
South that negroes are afraid to Vote the
democratic ticket.

We have been officially requested by the
authorities of the Virginia Midland Railroad
to state that the editorial arical IN the Ba'i'
more Gazette of yesterday, headed, THE
Orange and Alexandria Railroad" is full OF
errors, anl scarcely an allegation made sustain
ed by the facts of the case. The statement
does gross oiusice to the Baltimore and Onlo
Railroad, and to the management OF our road
here. So far from auy attem,t having bsro
made by the B & 0 R. R. to control the earn
ings of the Virginia Company, or to divert It's
funds TO their own purposes, we are sat;sheo
that such is not the case, but on the contrary
there has not been any interference as alleged,
and the management Of the Mltlaad Company
has been free at all times to pursue its own
policy aud apply its entire net earnlugs to the
payment ofiuterest accruiug on III 'rtgage debt
according to the legal prlorities attaching to
the subject. The B. 4 O. r. r. Go. has, tits
true, ASST: ted the Orange and Alexandra Hall
road aud the consolidated line now known as
the Virginia Midlaud 10 its financial enterpriz
cs to large extent aud upou reasonable terms,
and has extended liberal indulgence as a credit
or and 10 important instances waived Its right
10 REQUIRE payment where individual creditors
were getting their money. Its large interest
as stakeholder may have inspired the motive
but the fact is nevertheless true. The charge
that the b. & o. R. R. have been buying up
the a,alipg debt of the company and exactlug
payment for same at eXpersa OF In 'rtgage
creditors and their interest payments Is with
out any foundation and entirely incorrect. Not
dollar of this debt has ever been claimed, nor
do the authorities of the Midland Company
know that the 3. g. 0. r. 4. have made such
purchases except as current rumor. Ii the
writer 10 the Gazette had taken the trouble to
look at the last auoual report OF the president
of the Midland Railroad Company he could
have seen correct statement OF the condition
of the road and avoided the gross errors into
which he has fallen. The bondhodcrs IN their
respective order, We are assured, are getting
every dollar Of the net earnings OF the COM
pany after first paying operating expenses,
without which, of course, no earnings could be
secured. As an act Of justice, We ask the Bal
timore Gazette to give the toregolog oXpana-
ton place 10 its columns.
