carry New York. The South is
becoming obnoxious to even decent
Democrats in the North, and that
fact cooks Wade Hampton's goose.
The election Of Bisbee, of Flor
ida, and of the Republican elect
from Nevada, will no doubt be con-
tested that these States may be Sc
cured to the Democrats in case OF
the next Presidential contest coming
before Congress. Such treach-
ery as this comes natural to
the Democracy. Bisbee would
have been unseated last session but
for the gallant and unanswerable
fight in his defence by Col. Thorn
burgh.
One gratifying feature OF the
great victory last Tuesday will be
in the fact that in 81 the Senate
will almost surely be Republican.
Further, the increased population at
the North will soon give US IN
creased Republican delegations in
Congress, while the South, with its
repulsiye manners, which drive away
immigration, will not have this pre-
portionate increase of representa-
ton. Again, Texas is fast films
up with Northern men, and IN tn
near future may be counted on a
Republican, partly or Il II
whole, thus leaving the niggardl.

Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Nov. -
Mr.. EDITOR: The results OF
last Tuesdays elections have upset
everybody's calculations. The Re-
publicans expected to weep, but
they rejoice. The Democrats were
tuned up for an enthusiastic season
of 10y, and behold they weep.
New York, with an honest election,
gave US a gain of eight members to
Congress. How rejoiced are are all
! good Republicans to see such States
as New York, Ohio, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania coming to the res
cue of the Nation at moment when
solid South is perpetrating
such unprecedented wrongs on her
. defenseless people. Hitherto there
has been in Washington a tribe of
Democrats peculiar for their vim.
Last summer they swore at every
body and every thing which looked
= like Republicanism. They walked
, the streets and closed one eye as
thew looked deridingly upon Gov
, eminent official and with another
postscriptical wink they were accus~
toned to say, "just wait to next
4 election" But these enthusiastic
D hunters now look bad. They
see in the verdict of New York and
the entire North what is coming OF
their Infamous conduct in the South
! and their heterogeneous record as
i political party. 1t was appointed
e bv the Democratic committee here
e to meet last night to arrange for &
n general "hurrah," but the result
! Was sobad for them that the orally
was abandoned as a bad job. Muci
