NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Sun OF to-day SAYS,
regarding the election, James A. Garfield, of
Ohio. was yesterday elected President OF the
United states as successor to Mr.. Hayes, of Ohio,
the fraudulent President The republican party
have carried this state by majority of about
10000. and they have also carried the states Of
New Jersey and Connecticut, which, with this
state, were necessary TO democratic success.
IL appears at this writing that IL one party has

concludes:-"Whatever the controlling causes
may have been, the democrats are beaten. Let
them take the defeat like men. The republicans
have undoubtedly done many things to carry
the country which will Lot help them
on the road u Heaven; but then there have
been some practices on the democratic side not
altogether sanity. There Is one thing TO be
said about Garfield: Cakes Ames is dead. and
he can have no more transactions with him.

OF Garfield. unlike the presidency OF Hayes has
bte secured not by The frauds OF politicians
as much as b. the folly OF voters AT any rate
IL Is certain that the cause OF Capitalization OF

Imperialism, has been more signally furthered
by the election OF Garfield than by any other

the House OF Representatives devote themselves
hencefOrth 10 showing that the material in
terestS, lot less than the political freedom OF
the people OF this country are bound up with
the fortunes OF the democratic conservative
party
The Herald says it is plain, however that the
country does not fancy the ''solid south" and
that IL does Lot admire the lack OF brains and
OF principles for which the democratic canvass
was Chiefly conspicuous To these general rea-
sons must be added this. that the American
people, who are like all free people. conserva-
tive, and properly so, were inclined to let well
enough alone. They saw no sufficient reasons
Tor cnange In administration. The democrats
asserted that there were such reasons, but the
vote shows that they were not able 70 convince
the people.
The Tribune has the following: This result
IS an answer 10 the solid south. II the south
can learn anything II ought TO learn that its
bind, brutal and causeless solidlty is a blunder.
II displays an aggressive sectional spirit for
which there has not been the shadow OF an
excuse since 1876. Sensible southern men
ought now TO be convinced that they can never
hope to be OF weight In the affairs OF this
nation so long as they tolerate in themselves or
In others about them a stupid sectionalism or
permit any encroachments whatever upon the
liberty OF citizens OF any class
The Times says OF the result: 1T determines
IN the first place. and Chiefly, that the govern
ment OF the nation shall be national and not
the government OF party, section or a race.
IL establishes the rule OF justice and equal
rights In every part OF the land, throwing over
every citizen the powerful and impartial pro-
tecuon OF the supreme law. 1t decides that no
party whose distinguishing feature Is the per
petuat1on OF or oonniyance with crimes against
the suffrage can gain the approval OF majority
OF the American people. IL extinguishes for
ever the mad hope OF the political leaders OF the
south that they can retain or extend by aid OF
northern votes the powers which they have
seized IN their own section and no greater ben
EFT could have been conferred upon that section
as well as on the rest OF the Union"
