CHARLEsToN 'NEws AND COURIER"
CHARLESTON, 8. O., Nov. 4.-The Ne,us and
Courier concludes leader on the result: We
do not for q moment imagine that the Ameri-
can people should wish any State to be ruled
by sOt, or Moses or Bullock. The truth
was that the control that was necessary and
even Indispensable in local AFFAIRS, carried with
Its one side terrible influence in factional
affairs. With the help Of two Northern
States the South could elect President and
be master of the government. We know. or
think we know that the power would have
been exercised wisely. but the conquerors were
not ready to be ruled. even to their advantage,
by the conquered. Nor would the South have
been it Grant. instead of Lee, had surrendered
bis army fifteen years since. Besides
this latent war feeling, there was
the mighty influence of the bankers, merchants
and shop keepers, who had no particular OBJ
jection to the Democrats coming into place,
except that it involved change of some sort,
and they wished no change Of any sort. Why

that the people north of
the Potomac came to the conclusion
that there was better prospect of good gov
ernment from the Republican party than from
the Democratic. Whatever the exact way in
which it came about it is hard fact that the
United States for the next four years will be
Republican In speech, purpose and action.
The Republican President will apparently have
at his back Republican Congress. What
they will they can do with the Southern
States and their people. We hope and be-
lieve, however, that the business interests,
which was the main-spring of Tuesdays work,
will be opposed to any legislation that would
In any way embarrass the agricultural and
manufacturing interests, the trade and COM
merce at the South. It is 20 the interest Of
the North and West to take this position.
They will do it whenever and as soon as por-
tion of the Southern States ceased to be
pressed by the politicians or woold be autocrats
of the Union that they would do their
utmost to destroy. When this
spectre of Southern supremacy il
laid the Northern people will be
free to exhibit their kindly and interested
feelings and one of the first questions the
Southern whites will have to ask them is
whether the welfare of the South has heen and
is likely to be hindered or advanced by alliance
with the Democrats vt the North. 1t does not
hurt those gentry to be beaten. They are sure
to have just and equal government in their
States IN any event. Not so with the South.
In losing politically the South loses in pocket
and peace of mind. Will the South remain
on the losing side, and if 30, on what terms
and for what purpose? The Southern people,
we fancy, will make themselves heard on this
subject before the winter is past.

AUGUSTA CoNsTITUTIONALIsrs.
AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 4.-The Chronicle and
Constitutionalist says in reference to the cleo
tions. The South at least has the satisfaction
of knowing she kept her part of the bargai n,
and If the hero of Gettysburg is not President
it is not her fault. We think, too, that she
has for the last time beenl ed lamb-like to the
slaughter. Her experiments with loyal civil
ians and military honors have not been propi-
tious in the past and the future holds out no
hopes in that direction. What she will do in
the future time must disclose. Much de-
pends upon how great gains the Republicans
have made in the Senate and House, and what
their policy will towards this
reasonably solid for her own protection and
for the purpose of preserving the balance of
power after the next app0rtiOnment, when the
political domain shifts from the East to the
West. A tremendous problem now confront
ing the two parties, and all sections is, will
the administration of Garfield be in care of
the control of Congress, modelled upon that of
Hayes. or dictated by Grant and Conkling,
with Zachariah Chandler's spirit as an inspired
goblin? Until we know the exact nature of
that administration We remain in absyance.
Meanwhile we may as we'll prepare for the
worst and hope for the best.
