.cttc says "it would be mistake to re.
gard General Gar6cld's election as a tri-
umph Of tho politicians who brought dis
credit on General Grant. The strong feel
ing in the United States in favor of the
honest and patriotic policy of tho present
cabinet would teach far less shrcwd men
than General Garfield to follow the lines
laid down by Mr.. Hayes. For England
tho election is satisfactory. us it resulted in
a victory for the party which is more in
clincd 10 recognize the satisfactory relations
between England and America"
The Globe expresses satisfaction at the
result Of the election.
The Standard, 10 is leading editorial
this morning on the presidential election 10
tho United States, says: s.Thc admiuis-
1raiion Of General Garfield is not likely TO
differ materially in policy or conduct from
that of Mr.. Hayes. 1t is indeed probable
enough that the old senatorial ring which
was master Of the situation during Grants
second presidency, aud which strovc hard TO

Tho new Administration will have no
embarrassment from adverse auLho,ity in

GFrou the New York Tribune, Rep.1
Men Of The South, word with you. You
are beaten again. Give it up now. The
ideas of The Rebellion will never triumph
in this country. You can never run this
Government on the principles for which
Lee and Jackson fought. You will never
again have ms good chance 10 win us you
had this time Why knock your heads
against the wall of Northern sentiment?
Half million of men did not die for
nothing during those four terrible years
Which you remember so we'll. This is a
natou. Its citizens arc all equal before
the law. Why not manfully recognize
th"se two great facts which yesterdays
election emphasized anew? Give up your
notion that it is duty to your "section" to
stand by the party which sympathized with
the South during the war. No section
has any claims upon you. Sectionalsm is
dead. The Union, one and indivisible,
alone has right to your allegiance. Open
your minds to the lesson of the hour. Let
byeoncs be bygoncs, and resolve in future
there shall be tolerance aud fair play in
your States, and that the right OF every
citizen to voto as he pleases and have his
vote honcsly counted shall be protected.
One thing moro. Don't you think you
have trusted the Northern Democracy long
enough? Has it ever helped you? LAS it
not repeatedly deceived you with false
promises, and left you to bear the bruut Of
defeat? Why not try tho party Of ideas
and progress now? 1t oherishes no malice.
I;cpublicanism is just as we'll adapted for
your latitude as for ours

1t can hardly DO necessary to point out

the National Government tho Republican
party will take upon itself great response
