Material benefits to our commerce as

He sails from Norfolk in few DAYS aud

months to two years. In crossing the At

trade where it Is already established, and
TO open commercial intercourse with the

to our overtures to that end, pushing as far
inland as is deemed prudent or desirable
There is already sharp rivalry at many
points along the African coast between the

spective Governments and to secure the
lions share OF the vast trade that must in

ditures necessitated by Shufeldt's voyage.

will likely be tested In the course of the
Commodore's experiment, aud he goes
with the best wishes OF every intelligent
American citizen for his success.
All Information goes TO sonfirm what has
already been sail. viz: that the late cam
paign South, eliminating In the election of
the 9th inst, was the bo!dest mockery on
free suffrage and the veriest burlesque on
republican institutions. Democrats from
the North have become alarmed at the re-
action aroused. But they are helpless. 1t
even Is doubtless whether the Southern
leaders, who have more or less openly en-
coursged this reign of violence and terror
ism, can now coutrol and confine it within
safe limits and though il is not doubted
that the President is sincere In his desire
to punish the ruffians, there is ample
ground for doubling the adequacy of any
remedy now within his control. After ali
It seems like Furnishing the tools while
those who melted the diabolical work go
scott free. But there is one thing the
President can do. He can promptly move
to replace such Federal officials in the
South as Jack Wharton, who were ap-
pointed against the protests of leading Re-
publicans. Wharton seems to have played
right into the hands OF the bulldozers and
ballot-box suffers on election day, if he
did not more directly aid in their nefarious
work. South Carolina distillers are again

to believe, that the day which always seems

Hurry and hustle and care will be lain
aside for this one day at least, in nearly
every New England home, and the people
