Henry Watterseal on the Result in
~ New York. ..,. ....s.t..

A special dispatch from Louisville, Ky.,
says: Henry Watterson writes thus Of the
election in the Courier. Journal: d" We nay
be sure that the self seeking and the blum
dering which have brought about this need
less disaster, and which, in too many cases,
may be supposed without injustice to take
secret delight in it, will not resolve them
selves to any definite policy. They will eX-
press themselves variously. There will be
beoms and booms, as they are called. We
shall have Bayald boom, we shall have a
Davis boom, we shall have Field boom,
we shall have Hancock boom. There may
even be in 4 small way Hendricks boom,
dividing its little time with a Kelly boom
in the West, Hendricks and Kelly; in
the East, g. Kelly and Hendricks. In
short, each cock will crow from his own
particular dunghill, filling the air with a
clamor from whose dissonunce and din but
a single accordant note shall be heard, and
that in dispraise Of the only man who is
guiltless OF an act or word to distract MS
party, and known chiefly through his sacrl-
fees and benefces. TO this complexion mas
it come at last, and we are asked to ABANDON
a leader who gave us a national victory, ana
to follow the leaders who have Wantonly
thrown that victory away. Ihere are many
good and true men in the Democratic party
who are worthy to wear the purpie-nota,
bly,, Senator Bayard, General Hancock, ana
Mr.. Justice Field; but there is no one OF
them who ever will or ever can reach the
White House over the dead body o! Mr..
Tilden.'' .....s ... .....,

and are controlled in their political action'
with rare exceptions, BY one man-Captain
Rem. Hooper. II is wonderful the influence
he possesses over them. Neither Berry,
who has been all his life what is termed q
/" nieeer-man," nor Yankee Allan, with all
his shrewdness, nor Tazewell Branch, tue
most intelligent man OF his race, and GER
tainly one of the most respectable in the
county, can do anything with the negroes
when arrayed in opposition to Hooper.
"Captain Ben" has been ever since he
united with the Republican party-shortly
after the war-an earnest, active, consistent
party man; and it is to his answering adj
besion to his party that l attribute his
power over the negroes.
Allan, on the other hand, has been some
what vacillatiDg, and his influence with his
coIored partisans has been greatly lessened.
1t is right hard that Prince Edward
should have such representatives as Bliss
and Evans, but our people must "grin and
bear it,' and look for better times when
Captain Hooper retires from politics. Until
that time would advise my Conservative
friends, one and all, not to run for office in
Prince Edward, as it will be q useless waste
of time and money to do so. We should
have made the fight against Radicalism
while we had the party divided, and large
lot Of delinquent taxpayers among them;
but we missed our opportunity, and it will,
I fear, be Il long time before we have an
other to elect Conservatives. MEMO.

The Norfolk Vrginian, in its issue OF
Yesterday, talks right out in meeting, as
follows:
On last Tuesday the negroes Of Virginia
had an opportunity OF showing their graft
tude 10 their Republican friends OF the
North, and they showed it by Uottng almost
unanimously throughout the State to repu-
diate the bonds Of the State OF Virginia
held to the extent OF some S15,00O,O00 oy
the people CT the North. How many Of
these bonds are held by Jay Gould, the
master OF the New York Tribune. we know
not, but we. trust he hasa sufficient share 10
make him appreciate the gratitude OF ms
colored friends. The aohate men OF Vlr-
GINA, as instanced in this city, voted by
large majority to maintain the honor Of the
State and recognize the validity OF ber
bonds euen though held by their political
enemies. and had the ballot been restricted
to them the McCulloch bill would have been
Endorsed as an honorable settlement with
our creditors OF all parties and all nations.
But these-black men, for whose right to
exercise the ballot the Tribune grows so
valorous, came forward to the assistance OF
the Mozart-Hall RepadiatorS, and oolthout
any butts and aoithout any ifs pumped their
ballots into the ballot-boX in behalf OF repu-
diation. And now that the poisoned chalice
has been returned to their own lips, we
hope these Republican capitalists will ap.
preciate the gratitude OF the negro, and as
they count their losses in the depreciation
OF Virginia bonds, remember that to them
selves they owe the reputation which the
white men OF Virginia for their olDn sake
and honor's sake would have scorned to
perpetrate. II the whole South repudiates
her debt it will be done by the negro uote, as
that is done the Tribune and its owners will
perhaps realize that curses, like chicEenS,
come home to T00St."

THE SANE EXPLANATION EVERYWHERE

The Lynchburg Virginian says:
But we are particularly anxious that the
world shall know where to lay the blame
for the failure OF the Debt-Payers to sweep
the State. On the one side were arraYed
nineteen-twentietbs Of the newspapers OF
the State, both OF our United States sena-
tors, every Conservative member OF Con-
gress except that g Readiuster in the cool :"
John T. Harris, together with the great
bulk Of the intelligence and moral worth OF
Virginia. On the other, the repudiating
side, was Fayette McMullin, Massey, Paul,
ct id omne genus; not many Of them
leaders OF public opinion, but all OF
them nearly to man after some
thing. And their supporters, as a general
thing with some exceptions, Of course),
were men broken in fortune and ready for
a new deal; some spawned and broken
down politicians; many "lewd fellows Of
the baser Sort" as another St. Paul called
them; and the great mass OF the Republic

that, Notwithstanding what Fred. Doug

party high i'll authority, told them-which
advice they disregarded to go with the Re-

What the Logic OF Events Demands OF

washington dispatch in St. Louis Globe Democrat
Itw stated by u leading Democrat to-
day that be regarded all this prospecting
for presidential timber rs premature, and
in nowise calculated to help the complica-
tions which now seem to surround this mo-
mentous question. Said he: The logic Of
events should have taught US by this time
that it is. wisdom for Us to await the
movements OF. our adyersaries before
committing the party to the support
OF any man. For instance, should the
Republicans nominate Grant, it will
be utter folly for us to attempt to. OPP
pose him with q man like Han
cock, who, while gallant soldier, was and
is yet the, subordinate OF Grant in more
senses, than one, The Democratic party
could make much more effective CAM
paign by selecting for their standard-bearer
a ciTilian,wko possesses all the require
ments of,an unstained record, q trained lu-
dicial mind, and wealth enough to make the
contest reality Such a man as David
Davis would come up to this standard. Ii
the Republicans should nominate Blaine. or
Sherman we would need the military pres
itige and personal popularity OF a man like
General Hancock, and with him. as our
nominee we could make. a campaign on Is
sues which would tell strongly against our
opponents--7We -hnve had enough OF play
Ing for the presidential stake with every
card in our hand known to our antagonists.
Too much CAB and an overweening conf
dence that we had forestalled every chance
OF defeat has repeatedly brought us out at
he'small end OF the horn. It's about time
to- call halt and muzzle our eamp-ioi-
lowers, who have always shouted. victory
before the battle was fought in their efforts
TO build up the chances OF some patron for
the nomination. We should take al lesson
from our adyersaries, and have silence in
the ranks.

but the special admirers Of the General,
who have persuaded themselves that the
country is in danger Of going to the DEM

position Of their chosen chieftain, ignore
the existence of the antj-Grant element, and
are determined. if possible, to force his

the only thing that can endanger the sucs

The Democratic Victory Ina New York.
(grom the Philadelphia Times.l

Looking Solely at the result of the cleo
tons ID the North during the present year,
when the Republicans seem to have gained
everything, it is manifested that they fihave
lost everything by losing the only State that
is indispensable TO them. They have an
abundance Of glttering shadows; they have
majorities piled up by tens Of thousands
where they least need them; but the SUBJ
stance that was to be battied for in this pre-
liminary struggle has been surrendered to
the Democracy BY. Roscoe Conkling, John
Kelly, and A.. B. Cornell. They have made
the open way for the election OF Demo
cratic President next year, and if the COM
ing national battle shall be lost to the Re-
publicans they will date the disaster from
the evil day that made New York, a Demo-
cratic State, to give blotted victory to an
unworthy Republican candidate Tor Gov
