The results attained by the division OF
time insisted upon by the Republicans OF
the North at the ballot box yesterday have
sadly demoralized the Democrats here.
Their defeat was totally unexpected. In
spite OF the October elections, it was be-
lievcdb by them that such cooperation had
been secured in many parts Of the country
with Greenback men as to insure wide
spread Republican defeat. They are able
to account for the victory Mt the East
chiefly on the ground that the Democrats
OF that section largely favor hard money,
but this theory does not serve TO explain
to them the Republican successes through
out the West, and consequently they find
themselves driven TO the admission that
the outHges pcrpctrated so openly III the
South had much TO do with solidifying
the North against their party.
SOUTHERN JOURNALS CONDEMNED.
r, Many OF them condemn the course OF
several Southern Journals, particularly tho
Charleston Neus, with great severity, for
the details OF red shirtand rifle club opera
tons throughout South Carolina, since
these accounts have freely admitted the
worst that the Republicans have claimed;
and in the light Ofthe verdict Of the North,
the policy OF such candid descriptions OF
outrage and abuse is regarded rs extre-
mcly short sighted.
THE ONLY COMFORT.
The only comfort which the Post is able
to extract from the situation is that the
solid South seems to remain intact, while
as yet it sees no alarming indications OF Il
solid North, and over its returns, which in
dicate n sweeping Democratic defeat, it
places the cheerful headlines, "Wc've
Come to stay with the Democratic Majority
oi Fourteen in the Senate and Thirty i'll
the House."
WHAT BUTLER's DEFEAT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
Itseems to be conceded OH all sides, by
Democrats and Republicans alike, that the
defeat OF Butler in Massachusetts,, and OF
the GreenbaCk movement throughout the
country, has brought the Republican and
Democratic parties face to face again for II
contest over the Presidency, and the DEM
ocrats sec further in the situation de-
termination on the part OF the North not to
bremit the Government again TO the control
OF the South and its Northern allies.
I HONEST rMOSEY-REsUNPTIoS ASSURED.
Prominent members OF the administra-
ton express the opinion that the election
has so fur decided the question OF honest
money that it may be considered in po-
sition where it will take care OF itself; that
resumption is certain upon the LIST OF jan
uarv, and that it will be maintained by the
administration, and that the Democracy,
in view OF the surprising weakness OF the
grecnback movement, will not dare to at
tempt any interference with the purposes
of the administration i'll regard to main
tanning resumption, since, when it is once
accomplished, the Democrats will be
Obliged to cease their opposition, because
no party can afford to place itself in the
position, after the verdict OF these cleo.
lions, OF seeking to suspend specie pay

ministratiOn express the further opinion
that with Republican administration, and
a strong minority in each house OF Con-
gress, the Republicans would be able to

A Cabinet officer, in speaking to-day Of
the outrares which have characterized the
late campaign in the South, said the DEM
