Honest Democrats will find a ray OF light,
and honest Republicans have additional
cause for citation in the reported result OF
the election in Virginia. Down there IT
was not a battle between Democrats and
Republicans, but between honesty and dis
honesty, and honesty seems to have carried
the day. The friends OF the McCulloch
bill, which is'an equitable plan for the set
Element of the veXed question OF the States
Indebtedness, were opposed by party call
ing themselves Readj busters, but who are
really regulators very thinly disguised.
The former claimed to have triumphed, and
in the interest OF morality and the public
credit it is to be hoped that the claim is well
founded. There is discouragemcnt, how
ever, in the fact that in the negro strong
holds like Norfolk and Petersburg, and ger
orally in the tide-water counties, the ne
groes disregarded the advice OF President
Hayes and OF the ablest white Republicans
in Virginia, and by coalition with the Re-
pudiators have elected lot Of dishonest
demagogues to the Legislature. This Le-
gislature is to choose United States sem
ator in place of Mr.. Withers. The new
senator will be Democrat In any event, but
if the Repudiators should prove successful
after ell, he would be General Malone. 4
Democrat OF the worst type Phit0detDhi1

The Negroes and Reputation.

For downright impudence and misin-
formation commend US to the New York
Tribune. Here is what that paper has to
say OF the elections in Virginia last Tues
day:
''In Virginia the Readiusters, who want
to shirk the payment OF large share OF
the honest debt OF the State, appear to
have elected majority Of the Legislature.
This is not surprise. The South is fast
becoming as solid for Reputation as it is
for multiplying the results Of the war. 1t
can do as it pleases with its own State
debts, but the people OF the North will
take good care that it never gets chance
TO repudiate the national debt"
And this in the face Of the fact that il
was the Iribune's own allies-the negroes
that caused the defeat OF the Debt-Payers'
All over Virginia they combined with the
Repudiators. The Conservative party &C
knowledged no Repudiator as one OF 1t:
candidates. That question was made tes
by the State Central Committee. The Re
adjusters, or Regulators, as the 1ra6an
prefers to call them, owe their election Il
negro votes-that is to say, to Republican
votes. The best Of tue white Republican
endeayored to induce the negroes to Yot
for the election OF Debt-Payers; but al
their efforts avaled nothing. The Tribune,
Oman and brother" went his own way ant
voted to make the South, in The Tribune
language, .solid for Iepudiation."

SORRY FOR Tive understand that some
Of our best citizens have taken offence at
our remarks upon tue election OF Tuesday.
We are sorry for 1t. No one can regret
more than We do the lamentable fact that the
city Of Norfolk has been dishonored by the
purchased uotes of negroes. But it is no
fault OF ours. We have done our duty, our
whole duty, in this matter. The bite men
OF Norfolk who voted for. the McCulloch
bill did theirs, but tho apathy and indiffer-
ence OF 500 voters who could not take the
trouble to vote handed over this town TO
Mozart Hail. We can well believe that
there were some men in the Repeaiers'' party
who voted from an honest conviction, but

THE SAME STORY EvERYWHERE.-A5 to
the negro vote, the Lyuchburg pirgin1a'7
says:
"All honor to the handful OF colored men
who voted on the side OF the Debt'Payers.
The pity is that there were not more OF
them: but they have strange proclivity fol
voting with mean white men. The New
York Tribune can derive no comfort from
the vote cast by the colorcd Republicans
here for honest debt-paying. Nearly all Of
them that voted went the other way, while
large number stood aloof: The white
vote for reputation was significantly SMALL D

have walked up to realize that In doing SO

have been our representatives in the next

party will still work to educate all the chill

voters they will not be deluded by SUCH
demagogues as Parson Massey and his tribe.
From the bottom OF my heart thank you
for the glorious manner you worked to
secure q result founded on truth, honor,

As to the ssexpected decision" OF woica
the Republican speaks, we have to say tna lt
we do not expect any such decision. ne
Supreme Court OF the United States Is not
going to decide that every Jury that tries a
negro must be ,1hol1y made up OF negroes.
And vet IL must either SO decide or else de-
eide that no part OF sucha Jury need De
negroes. There Is no middle ground. Ii
would be perfectly absurd for the Court 20
say that two, or three, or four, or AVE. OF
ak OF the jury must be negroes. Its deci'
zion would be q burlesque il it were to oe-
eide that every jury that tries negro must
have at least one negro upon 1t. So also 1t
would be outrageous il that Court. were TO
decide that although negroes were upon q !
yenire, yet il some Of them were not drawn
as Jurors the court below must nevertheless
by some means or other put few negroes
upon the jury.
In word, the Republican writes in igno :
rance of its subject, or else in contempt OF
the truth.

The real test Of strength between the
parties in New York was on the election OF
the State ticket. In this fight the Demo
Gratis have won. Potter and his associates
are elected. Later returns create some
doubt as 10 what their exact majority is,
but the general result is as stated.
This success indicates that New York,
with the party united in support Of its cam
dldate, is Democratic State. The small
margin between the total vote cast by the
Democrats and Republicans will leave it I
legitimate battle. ground for the parties
next year. And as it goes so will so the
Union.
With their really splendid victory OF
Tuesday to encourage the Democrats, there
cAn be no doubt OF the result next year.
The Empire State will add her thirty-hvc
electoral votes to the one hundred and
twenty. three OF the South and the thirty OF
Indiana and Missouri, and will elect Il DEM
ocratic President Washington Post.
The success OF the rest of the Democratic
ticket only makes the overthrow OF Mir.
Tilden more glaring and conspicuous. 1t
is clear that but for his interference the
Democrats could have chosen their whole
ticket, Governor and all. Had he suffered
Mr.. Potter to be placed at the head OF the
ticket, as he was urged to do, Mr.. Potter
and not Dir. Cornell would to-day be Gov
ernor-elect. But he would not, and his OBJ
stinate and selfish ambition has brought an
entirely needless defeat upon his party.
That ought to finish Mr. Tildcn, and doubt
less it does. He will no more be heard Of
in national nor, we should think, in State
