Wade Hamptons at Staunton, and Black
burns on ''wiping out post bellum legisla-
tion, have led them to doubt whether the
results of the war were secure, and because
the expressions of many Southern papers and
orators, together with some very suspicious
election returns, satisfied them that
full votes, free ballots and fair
counts were not always to be had
in the South If Northern Republicans
cherish feeling of hate, it is not for the
Southern people, but for what they believe,
whether rightly or wrongly, TO be the feel
ings. conduct and aims OF Southern poll
ticians in regard to the results Of the war.
When the Southern people come to look on
the North and the Republican party as this
Charleston paper does, and when their politi-
cal leaders talk less about capturing the
White House, and more about such legisla-
ton as they desire in the interest Of their
constituents. they will fnd the party lines
breaking down and Northern and Southern
men uniting in support OF measures that both
are interested in.

knows it. Let us have peace. By his proc

all the obstinacy, with but little of the intel
Egence, of a mule.
COLUMBIA IS. ca, November 5th.-The
Daiiy REGISTER to-day, in its leading editorial,
says: Now, with Garfield in the Presidential
chair, for whom the Republicans have
claimed so much in the way of ability and
craftsmanship, We shall see what we shall see.
One thing is certain-if be is half the man
he is claimed to be-if he is only half the
statesman, in the true sense of the word-he
will hold his own, and be his own successor
in 1884. Not only this, if he bravely and
broadly opens the way for the ways OF peace
aud the sway of broad common sense IN the
solution of the troubles and antagonislns
which have arisen under shallow headed men
and the vindictive policy hitherto pursued by
blind partisans, he will find the solid South
meeting him more than half way, whilst ne
shall have earned the surprising honor OF
having inaugurated an era of prosperity in
which the country, the whole country, North
and South, East and West, viii forget their
ieopardizing hatreds, and sit down under
their own vine and fig tree, with none to
modest or make them afraid. Garfield has
the head sufficient for the work. Has he
the nerve, character and constancy? All
there's the rub.

General Key voted the Republican ticket at
the recent election. The fact is that Key has
been little less than Republican since the
war closed, and his voting straight Republi-
can ticket occasions no surprise.
It is learned here, though private sources,
that extraordinary attempts are being made
in the Eighth Alabama District to count out
Low, Republican Greenbaeker elect, and
count in General Wheeler, straight Demo
crat. The Democrats are stimulated in this
game by knowledge that the House will be
very close, and possibly one vote may change
the result 1t is also known that Low will
act with the Republicans in organizing the
House, hence the desperate attempts to get
the better of his 1000 majority. The way
they are doing it is this When the fran
chise was first conferred on the blacks, the
Republican tickets were printed with the
that the ignorant blacks might know their
tickets To prevent this, the Democratic
Legislature passed law saying that the
tickets should have no figure or device upon
them, meaning no pictures such as eagles or
flags. In two counties of Lows district,
where he got the heaviest majority, the tick
cts were printed 50 Eighth Alabama District
instead of the Roman characters VIII.
Law abiding Democrats in that district con-
strue the figure 20 be s violation of the law
which was passed aiming at eagles and flags.
Nothing could be so ridiculous, yet upon this
fimsy pretext it is proposed to deny the GER
tifcate and give it to Wheeler, so he can
participate in the organization of the House.

PHILADELPHIA, November 5th.-A promi-

concede Hancock's defeat, nor would it be
conceded by the National Committee unless
Nevada voted against them. This declara-
lion is believed to cover claim to carry the
election before Congress and decide in Han
cocks favor. The idea is that the solid
South, New York, New Jersey, Nevada and
California gave Hancock majority. New
York, therefore, is to be claimed by the
Democrats, the vote of the city being over

New YORK, November 5th.-Both factions
of the Democracy, both here and in Brook
Ign, are abusing each other heartily over the
result Of the election. Each accuses the
other of treachery and incompetency, and
the quarrel bids fair to create even wider
breach between the factions than already
exists.

hasten to address you my sincere congratulations.
FERDINAND DE LESSEPS.
President Hayes said to reporter, regard
ing the election, that California, Oregon and
Nevada rightfully belonged to the Republican
party, and that they would have doubtless
given larger maiorities for Garfield had it not
been for the effect of the forged Chinese let
ter. The people in these States were very
deeply interested in the Chinese question. and
the Morey letter was probably circulated in
remote mining camps, where it was impos-
sible, in the time at the disposal of the Re-
publicans, to have it thoroughly contradicted
and exposed.
Nothing has been decided regarding Gar

few days or week longer.
