for Hancock. Aud the south is welcome
to all the joy it can get in contemplating
itself-it is to be hoped it has large look
ing glass. How much it has made by its
solidity and the means it took to get itself
solid, should he counted up right OH by Its
generals and its colonies and its rowdy
element. And the decent men of the
south, those who are above pandering per-
sonally to the whisky drinking. bowie
knife and shotgun midnight marauders,
should also consider how well it really
paws to stand back and let that crowd run
things. Let them read the New Orleaps
dispatch of yesterday that says:
Cloudy and rainy. Election quiet,
with the exception of a difficulty between
white men and negroes. Several negroes
were shot and wounded. The indications
are that there was light vote polled
throus hout the state"
Then let them read the later dispatch
that says:
Returns from all parts of the state in
dictate the election of the democratic can
didates in all the congressional districts
When the south gets so that social os-
tracism does not follow the advocacy Of
republicansm when it gives equal rights
to all classes of its citizens; when the
school and not the whiskey-store of the
corners educates it, it will thank the north
for being against its bourbonism as it
should now thank it for having warred
against the barbarism of slavery that a
quarter of a century ago was Rugged to
its bosom.
Some of the minor results in the south
are worthy of note. The readjusters seem
to have been beaten by the regulars In
Virginia and the republicans gain a con.
gresham. Congressman are also gained
in Tennessee and Missouri. and possibly
enough of them to endanger the demo
cratic majority in the next house. The
republicans also elect Hawkins governor
of Tennessee in all probability. In Mary
land the republicans make handsome
gains. South Carolina, Mississippi. Ar
kansas and Texas are unheard from; ant
we respectfully submit to the gentlemen
who run those states that the north know
pretty we'll without being told what thu
results are there aad how they wer
brought about.
But it still remains true that both mort
and south great body of intelligen
citizens who desire good government an
right doing are in the democratic party
though hardly of it, as managed. Thes
men voted for Hancock, we doubt not, i
as much love of country, as did the voter
on the winning side. They had no pal
