the election having resulted disasoussy TO his III
ierests. This Is absurd, A. the date o, that dis.
patch the actual preferences Of members elect Of
the Legislature could not possibly have been
known-indeed, II was not certainly known who
were elected in o majority Of the districts. This
much, however, may be said as 70 the probable
composition OF the Legislature: The Senate. hold
ing over consists oi forty members, ofwhom thirty.
eight are Republicans and two ore Democrats. The
House Of Representatives will be composed Of l27
members Of whom from eighty five 10 ninety VIII
be straight Republicans, aud the remainder Demo
crats and GTeenbaCkeI. Many Of the latter Will
doubtless act with the Republicans oil all political
questions other than financial
As to the senRtOrship II can only be said that all
the indications point 10 the reelection Of Mr. In.
gals. More senators and Representatives elect are
instructed for or committed TO him than to all
other candidates combined. And excepting Coy.
enUr Anthony, whose chances are not considered
worth calculating, there are no other candidates
regularly In tho field except such In part OF

THE SOLID SOUTH

The Northern Democratic organs-,hose
which have been gushing with pure cussed-
mess" during the late campaign ex-
press their great delight that y Solid South"
is the result Of the collision So long as
this has been the object OF their aim, II Is
not surprising that they should iubilate
over the achievement. We have a Solid
South, and it has been formed out OF the
elements of fraud corruption, wrong, yiO-
lenCe, OutlawTy, and murder, and Is a tit
emblem Of the Democratic party, Tho
| solid South" Is a fitting ofishoot Of treason
aud rebellion for the reason that it is formed
of broken faith, violated law, and the blood
Of s>sassiudtions which have occurred to
dccimatc a majority and convert it into a
minority With such a compound as the
! basis OF a party, 1t can never succeed In the
nineteenth century. 1t must fall to pieces
Of its own rottenness. The North and
West are full Of Democrats, who have re-
mained 80 underthe force of early education,
but whose patriotism and sense of right and
justice aud love Of law and order, will no
more permit them now to ally themselves
with the Solid South" than they would to
enlist in the Southern army during the re-
bcllion. No reasonable man-be he Repub-
lican or Democrat-wll close his eyes and
his Judgment against the bottom facts upon
which Solid South" has been based. A

Mr. BENJAMIN DEANS effort to prevent
the Hon. WALBRIDGs A. FIELD from filling
his seat as Representative from the third
Massachusetts district In the Forty sixth
Congress will come to naught The trick
by which he expects TO accomplish this re-
suit is so despicable, so contemptibly
mean, and so unworthy the considcra-
ton of any flir-minded man, that It
cannot fail to react to his disadvantage
when he begins his threatened contest
The telegraph has already given our read
ers somo information regarding this but
reports received by the mails expose the
details OF Mr.. DEANS little game still fur.
Of the Democratic tickets had DEANS name
on them twice-in the regular large type
and in small type at the bottom Of the slip,
where It would not be easily noticed. The
idea Of getting up the ballots in this fashion
was that "pasters" with Mr.. FIELDS name
on them would be put over the large type
by persons voting split tickets, and that in
| making the count the names Of FIELD on
the "pasters' and DEAN in small type at
the bottom of the slip would neutralize each
other. DEAN has, on the strength of this
trick, fled petition for recount of the
ballots, and, If he cannot prevent FIELD
from getting the Governors certificate, he
will probably appeal to the House, in the
hope that the latter may again be ousted by
the majority from the seat to which he was
| chosen by the DeODle

IT is understood that at the regular Cab
met meeting to-day the Southern situation
will be earnestly discussed. 1t Is to be
hoped that determination will be reached
to exhaust the resources of the Government
in pursuing and prosecuting the violators of
law in the recent election campaign in that
section. Free citizenship will be more OF a
mockery than ever in the South if any other
course is adopted. This Administration can
well afford to demand that the ends of JUS

the North much.

THE Southern States have again set up

ing history to repeat itself, and it is more
than probable that they will be gratifed in
that respect. Without an observance OF
the laws and respect for the Government

moments reflection will teach that COM
bination produced and perfected by such
causes rs have brought our political rela-
tions to their presen. attitude, are alike
dangerous to the unity, peace, and prosper
ity of the nation. 1t Is nowhere denied
that the rights of citizenship have been
ruthlessly crushed out by force and blood
shed in all the late insurgent States. No
one has the hardihooi to deny the fact that
the elective franchise has been wantonly
and shamelessly corrupted by ballot-box
stufling, illegal voting and suppression Of
rightful voters by various influences to pro-
duce the results now presented in South
Carolina, Louisiana, and Virginia, to say
nothing of the other late rebellious States.
When we consider that these agencies and
this open disregard of all law, all right, all
justice, and oil propriety are confined to
the States which made the war Of secession
and revolution, 1t Is not difficult to under
stand that the spirit Of treason and rebellion
Is not yet dead, but Is living principle Of
action all through that section Of the coun-
try. Neither will 1t be any more difficult
hereafter, in view Of these patent facts, to
convince respectable citizens who have
voted the Democratic ticket heretofore that
there Is no safety to the perpetuity of the
Union In continuing to vote and sct with
that demoralized, corrupted, and disloyal
party In the future than II was during the
war. II the Democrats are satisfied with
their work of building up o Solid South
out Of such material, the Republican party
has no cause to regret II, and will cheer
fully accept the issue as presented and fight
1t out on that line. It now be-
comes contest between right and
wrong, between fidelity and treachery. be-
tween loyalty and treason, between the
rights of citizenship and their overthrow,
between respect for the Constitution and
the laws and total disregard of them, and
between the preservation and the overthrow
Of the principles and stability of a free Gov
ernment This is the aspect of the future
political controversy, as the case is made up
by the Democratic party and its organs,
and the Republicans have no alternative
but TO accept it rs presented.
