An Amusing Story.

From grave gay is the order of life, and of news

4th of March noxt will be Republican, a
number of gains in that direction having
been made in tho South, notably in Tenneso

and was justly hold in igEAestoom as wiso

Annual Conferences, aud when his remaining
colleagues have scarcely timo and strength

How to do it Next Time.

The Grcenvillo Ne,os. giving its experi~
ence of the recent contest, says that the nc,
gro voter must DO ''sccn" before election day
or it will then bo too late. We endoaYorcd
to show the same thing hero. but tho people
generally would not lny hold of the "man
and brohor." Tho usual method of oleco
tioncoring tell upon him as sure and as
effectually as upon the whito man. If his
vote is necessary, there is but ono proper
way to gctit, and that is tho usual mode of
electionoering. But upon this subject the
Ne,os we'll says;
"fhoro arc several lessons that we may
draw from tho campaign whilo its memories
arc yet fresh with US. The first suggested
and most useful perhaps, is that wo should
never forget at tho close Of each political
bate that another is approaching. Had tho
thought Of 1880 always been present with US
during the "oG years" of 1878 and 1879, wo
would constantly have done work without
labor or inconvenience that would havc So.
cured us our 1000 and better. Waiting
until tho negro's mind becomes inflamed
with incondiary speeches, bowilderod by bul~
doing and finally fixed by appeals, woven of
falsehoods. to his prejudicos and fears, wo
find only encouragement and failure in
working upon him.
Allowing our own forcos to become uttorly
disorganizcd, wo leayo them exposed to diyi-
sions and internal conflicts that cannot be
healod in O month and exist to weuken US.
The remedy for all is to havo thought for
the future always. In regard to the negro
we should each adopt distinct limo Of poll
cy looking to tho opening Of his eyes, and
securing of his aid by tho next election day.
Wo should show that in whatever We
cay we arc in earnest, and that our actions
are not moroly intended for tho emergency
of tho present. Train and teach him from
year to year and prepare him to voto intel
ligontly and willingly with you. You can
find abundant occasion for quietly giving him
food for healthy thought during two years. A.
semblanco of organization should be main
tainod in tho political clubs, ovon when the
election is most distant. 1t brings men into
closo companionship and fellowship, and
teaches them the valuable lesson of acting
together. Let us therefore during tho two
years of rest and poace bo always watchful
for on opportunity to say word or do
something that will help the good cause in
1882"

The Presidential Election.

Gen. Garfield has been elected President
of tho United States by large and decisive
majority. His electoral voto is 232, whilst
that Of Gen. Hancook's is I47. Con. Gar
field carried every Northern State, except
Now Jorsoy, the election turning upon
Spuroly sectional question. A number Of
causes hAvo boen given for tho result, but, in
ourjudgment, tho "solid South" was tho real
cause. 1t was the staple argument Of tho
Republicans during tho campaign, and was
very strong presentation Of tho bloody shirt.
No ono, however, need bo alarmed Mt tho
result The Northern people had tho samo
right to vote for Garfield that the Southerner
had to vote for Hancock, and tho majority
of tho former is so large that no apprchen-
sion need bo had as to tho final count nnd
inauguration of tho President elect. In oil
probability, too, Con. Garfield will follow tho
course pursued by Mr.. Hayes towards the
South-tho recognition Of home rule-and
that is all tho South need care for.
The press of the country, North and South,
is attempting to find o remedy for the present
sectional condition of the Union, but the
views expressed, as a general thing are
neither new nor forcible. Tho Republican
press, as usual upon our defeat, attempt to
allure tho people of the South to break away
from the Democrats Of the North-embraco
RepnbIicanism as q cure for all tho political
OWLS of tho hour. Somo of the Southern
papers are iocined to the same course, but
we SEQ nothing practical or reasonable in it.
The South has always been, as general
thing Democratic, and, if the people were to
60 into another party-let that party be new
or old-the animus Of tho people would re-
main and chow itself on pertinent occasions.
No. The people of the South will not de-
sert their Democratic allies Of tho North
The Democratic party is tho party of the
people. and represents moro than over the
wishes and aspirations of tho patriotic people
of the whole country. Doubtless the party,
to cay nothing Of individual membors of the
party. have mado mistakes. These can DO
corrected in tho future, both as to measures
and the conduct of members Of tho party.
We should keep in mind tho fact, however,
that the Republicans hayo mado gains in the
South in this election. There is cause for
this, and it should not escape the attention
Of the party rulers.
But. If We caunot rule tho country politi-
cally, we can devote our time to building up
tho industries Of the country, and laying
deep and sure the foundations of general
prosperity.
