After the Battle.

The Democrats have made almost q
clean sweep Of the State, Beaufort
alone being left in the Radical column.
All five Democratic congressman are
elected by heavy maioritics. The
Senate will stand twcnty-ninc Demo-
Gratis to five Radicals, and the House
one hundred and twcnty-onc Demo-
Gratis and three Radicals. The glori-
ous victory achieved in Charleston
sends thrill Of joy through every
heart. The interest in tho election
centred almost wholly in the fight in
that county, and the voice Of the
whole State is raised in honor of the
Charleston Democracy who by one
blow have crushed out Bowen,
Nlackey, Taft, Butt and Campbell, ell,
Charleston. Williamsburg has mash
cd out Swails cffcctually. Orange
burg and Richland have gained de-
cisive victories. The Democratic ma
jority in other counties is almost
phenomenal. Hampton will receive
very heavy vote, but not largely in
excess Of the Democratic strength. In
very few places did he receive Radical
votes.
Reports from other Southern States
announce most gratifying solidity.
The South is almost a unit in Con-
grcss; the Radicals retaining only two
Radical Senators, Bruce, Of NIissis-
sippi, and Kellogg, Of Louisiana, and
not more than two or three members
of tho House.
Reports from the North, however,
arc not so cheering. The Democrats
suffered there from bad management
or bad luck, or both. Three things
conspircd against thcm-Sam Lees
lies, money and Federal marshals,
and more especially the Grccnback
hcrcsy. In the West, the hard money
men generally supported the Radical
ticket; while the soft money men
divided between the Democratic and
the Grcenback tickets, and cast Just
enough votes to give pluralitics to the
Radicals. In the East, the hard money
Idea prevailed among all classes and
helped tho Republicans. In New
York, moreover, tho Democrats
suffered from the bitter antagonism
of Iilden and Tammany, and thus
allowed the Radicals to slip in. Seven
thousand Grconbackcrs in Connccti-
cut gave victory to the Radicals, State,
Legislative and Congressional tickets.
thus also cnslring Republican Scna-
tor to succeed Barnum, Democrat.
New Jersey turns somcrsault every
year or two, and this time goes head
long into the Radical camp. All over
tho North the Radicals gain Congress-
mon, but they cannot overcome the
democratic gains also made in Octo-
Der, and IN tho South at this election.
ihc Senate will consist OF forty-two
Democrats, thirty-threc Republicans
and ono Independent. The House
will have eight or ten Democratic
majority. The Democrats have ninc-
teen state delegations, and tho Radi-
calls eighteen, with California to elect
her delegation next year. This will
doubtless be Republican, in which
case tho States will stand nineteen to
ninctcen, and tho House cannot elect
a president. AS tho Grocnback partv
has received quictus at the present
election, tho chance Of throwing tho
election into the House is very slight.
The Radicals have carried Connect
