How q Southern Paper Looks at
the Result.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
We do not for q moment imagine that the
American people wish any State should again
be ruled by Scott, a Moses or a Bullock
The truth was, that the control that was nee
essary and even indispensable in local affairs
carried with it onsderable influence In ma
tional affairs. With the help of two North
ern States the South could elect the Presi-
dent and be master Of the Government. We
know, or think we know. the power would
have been exercised wisely, but the conquer
ors were not ready to be ruled, even to their
own advantage, by the conquered. Nor
would the South have been. if Grant instead
of Lee had surrendered his army Is years
since. Beside this latent war feeling there
was mighty influence of bankers, mer-
chants and housekeepers. who had no partic-
ular objection to democracy coming into
place except that involved in change of some
sort, and they wished no change of any sort

De La Matyrs a better dollar than would be

man, and we may add that. with eyes wide
open to all its faults, the white people north
Of the Potomac had come to the conclusion
that there was better prospect of good gov
eminent from the republican party than from
the democracy. Whatever the exact way in
which it came about, il is a hard fact that
the Government of the United States for the
next four years will be republican in speech,
purpose and action. The republican Presi-
dent will apparently have at his back re-
publican Congress What they will they
can do with the Southern States and their
people. We hope and believe. however, the
business interests which we're the handspring
of Tuesdays work will be opposed utterly to
any legislation that would in any way en-
oarrass the agriculture aud manufactures, the
trade and commerce of the South. 1t 10 to

Who Is Mrs. WinslOyy.

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady who for up
wards OF thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents as a female physician
and nurse, principally among children. She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as re-
suit of this effort and practical knowledge,
obtained in a lifetime spent as nurse and ply
stefan, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup
for children teething. 1t operates like magic
giving rest and health, and is moreover.
sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence
of this article. Mrs. Winslow is becoming
world-renowned as benefactor of her race !;
children certainly do RISE UP and bless her :;
especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Syrup are DAILY
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Wins
low has immortalized her name by this in
valuable article. and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved from
an early grave by its timely use, and that
millions yet unborn will share its benefits,
and unite in calling her blessed. No MOTH
Err has discharged her duty to her suffering
little one, in our opinion, until she has given
it the benefit of MIS-. Winslow's Soothing

cease to be posed by the politicians as would
be autocrats of the Union that they did their
utmost to destroy When this spectre of
Southern supremacy is laid the Northern
people will be freer to exhibit the kindly and
interested feelings. and one of the first ques-
items Southern whites will have to ask them
selves whether the welfare of the South has
been and is likely to be hindered or advanced
by an alliance with the democrats Of the
North 1t does not hurt those gentry to be
beaten. They are sure to have just and
equal governments in their States in any
event. Not so with the South. In losing
politically the South loses in pocket and in
peace of mind. Will the South remain on
the losing side. and if so. on what terms and
for what purpose: The Southern people. we
fancy, will make themselves heard on this
subject before winter Is past.

The New York World of Thursday
morning sends the following out to its
democratic readers General Garfield
will be chosen President of the United
States by the electoral vote of this State,
and this vote he will receive only in con-
sequence of a disastrous and unexpected
falling off in the Democratic maiorities Of
Brooklyn and Of this city. That this fall
ing Off was the result of causes quite out
side OF the national contest is absolutely
certain. The vote of New York State will
be given to General Garfield. not because
General Garfield is the choice of a ma
jority of the voters of New York. but be-
cause. not for the first time in the history
OF our municipal parties. local and per-
sonal interests have been preferred to the
general welfare of the party and of the
country. Mr.. Tweed. for example. gave
this State to the republicans in 1871 by
forcing on the city Democracy his candid
acy for reelection to the State Senate.
He was elected. but an entire county ticket
and a Legislature were sacrificed. New
York has secured Democratic city gov
eminent, which is so far good thing. but
it remains to be seen whether New York
could not have secured this at less cost
than that Of the IS electoral votes which.

SOUND REPUBLICANISM.

The following extracts from Hon.
Stanley Matthews speech are good, sound,
sensible reading for Republicans, and
should furnish food for thought to the OPP
position
THE CRY FOR "a CHANGE"
The democrats say change in the al
ministration is demanded. Change what!
Change how?
Gen. Raum, the commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, states that Of Si67 900, 900 OF IN
terual revenue assessed, every dollar OF H.
every cent OF IL has been collected. There
has been no defalcation, no stealing, no
mistakes, even, no errors, no false counts.
Laughter. Such thing is unexampled
in any private business. It's only an illus
tration Of the cleanness OF republican
methods. Especially Is this true OF our
present administration. You can't put
your finger on rotten spot? Great APP
plause. Shall we change this? tcrles oil

THE PORTLAND CASE.

Basing his claims on the disfranchise-
ment of Portland, the fusion candidate
for County Commissioner claimed the
Office which the illegal action awarded
him. The matter was tested in Court
and carried to the full Court. A unani-
nous decision has been given in the case,
and we give the following extract from
the same, as sample of the Court
decision in all these matters. They indi-
cate a true appreciation of all the bearings
of the question at issue, 1t is not the
title of offices in dispute today which
they are to settle, but the underlying
question of free and an honest ballot.
None of the votes OF the city OF Port
land were counted. They were all thrown
out Why? Because the ward meetings
were not regularly notified? Because the
ward meetings were not legally organized;
Because those not qualified electors were
permitted to voter Because there was
fraud or intimidation at the meeting? Be-
cause the votes of qualified voters were
rejected? Because the votes were not
received. sorted, counted and declared In
open ward meeting? Because fair rec
ord OF the result was not seasonably made:
Because the returns duly sealed and attest
ed were not transmitted 10 the Secretary
OF State within the time required? Be
cause OF any informality, great or small
No. None of these causes were pretended
much less proved but because or the
number of votes cast, two were returned
as scattering. that IL, because two wrote
scattering on their ballots or because two
voted for candidates not voted for by any
body else, and the clerk returned them rs
scattering instead OF giving the names oil
the persons for whom the votes were cast
Thus and for such cause, 63ll voters
being over n third OF the voters OF thu
county OF Cumberland, were DISTINGUISHED
- for they were equally DISTINGUISHED
whether they voted for one candidate oil
the other. This Acknowledgement was fol
no neglect or omission OF theirs.
