Houston Telegram.
Reluctantly and Tegretfu!ly, the Telegram
is compelled to announce 10 its readers, that
from the returns received the election of
General James A. Garfield rs president of
the United State, may be predicted. This
means continuation of radical rule Tor the
next four years. The greatest surprise of all
is tho terrible decline in the democratic vote
of New York. II has been predicted that
peop.e, tiyed of a Grant would not again
submit to the rule of military man, and as
much as General Hancock is beloved and
esteemed by the masses, this defeat proves
that the people opposed the choice made by
their leaders. However, this is mere surmise,
When the true history of the present cam
paign will ever be known, II will be found
that no controlling issue has had any effect
upon the convictions of the people. 1t will
be proven that Mr.. Garfield owes his election
TO the moneyed aristocraCy and The wealthy
manufacturers Of the north and east who
lavished millions upon corrupting the
thousands, in order that republican power
might haveanother lease of life. 1t will be
proven thst the sectional hatred of the north
has forced upon tho country presi
dent whose official life is full Of blem-
ishes, and who will tsrnish the chair
of Washington by the dirt that clings TO his
garment Still, this defeat, terrible as it 10,
may not DO without its moral. The nomin-
alton of Hancock WAS consummated by being
preferred by q united south; his defeat indi-
Gates how obnoxious southern preference is
TO tho northern men, in whose bosom still
raukles the old hatred. Lot us not forget
this. And let us remember what our most
important duty will be for the future. When
after the close of the series of French wars
terminating in the perpetual exile of Napo
leon to st. Helena, Prussia was left impOver
ished and depopulated, Wilhelm Won Hum
boldt taught his country its duty. He bsde
; his countiymen apply Themselves 10 the de-
, velopmCnl of its resources, to the fostering
a of art and manufacture and above all to the
education Of their children. He proved tC
them the necessity of leaving the world tC
Ia care of itself, and consult their Interests
and welfare in all respects Tho south car
afford to follow tho Xamplo of Prussia. j
has eudeSvored to make its voice heard
amid the great sections Of the American con
tineut and again It's voice has been hushed by
c,rruping influences and implucNble hatred
The south fer Mt cpst the next four years
must shun politics. Let hose who have
elected tbeirruaratlenA to the prosperity Ct
the couutry;thc south has hol.Cr duty to
perform right at home There are immense
Il lbs to b. developed by tho husblnlmar;
there are industries TO be oyygloped there ore

in the very face Of polil cal defeat, introduce
m era Of general enddNor TO become what
II ought to ho-a rich, inn
portaut and influential section of the United
Statoa, and the defeat now sustained will not
ha, beol y vain lesson. iut, agGin we
should remember the north for this open
display Of hatred. The thousands Of our
merchants who bring millions of dollars to
northern markets, should remember that
their money alone is welcome totho people
who oorspircd to dcraql their can idate.
LIT them invest right n bone, and the mok
Of southern patronage Will teach the north a
lesson, not easily to be forgotten. We scon
