The elections OF last tuesday were nc
such as to make either party crow q
great deal. The democrats made gains
everywhere except in Virginia. coming
very close to electing their ticket in the
hitherto solidly republican state of
Wisconsin. In New York they elect
one mar on the state ticket, treasurer,
capture both branches OF the legislature,
and elect two congressman, a gain OF
one, Mr.. Flower. democrat, beating Mr..
Astor, republican, who is said to have
spent a vast amount of money to secure
his election. This reduces the republicans
vote in the house to q less than a ma
jority, and gives the balance of power to
the greeubackers. In Virginia, Came
ron and a readjuster legislature are
elected, the first by 5000 to 5000 ma
jority. The republican national COM
mittee sent large sums of money into
the state to pay negro poll taxes, and
generally as a corruption fund, and re-
pudlation is now assured In that state,
by the efforts of Mr.. Arthur and his
party. That gentleman must now smile
a ghastly smile when he reads in his
letter of acceptance, t.There is danger in
trusting the control OF the whole law
making power of the government to a
party which has In almost every south
ern state repudiated obligations quite
as sacred as those to which the faith of
tho nation stands pledged" Virginia
will return to her ancient moorings in
the mex presidential canvass, and the
democratic legislature of New York
will have the re-dlstricting of the state
under the new congressional apportion-
ment. The details OF the election can
hardly be known for a week.

from them. It is our earnest desire to
soc the compromise finally closed, and a
very few Lafayette county gentlemen
could, in our opinion, substantially
close 1t any day that they might hoose.
Their present covert opposition and war
appears to us injudicious, unjust. inc
quitable, troublesome to the county, ard
hopeless. They can expect the county
court to do only what it has done In the
past-defeat them. If they desire to
continue the contest let them come out
openly in all appeal to the people, and
il they everse their instructions to the
court the bondholders may succeed.
That they can SO stultify themselves,
however. is past our comprehension and
we do not believe they will do it. The
better plan for all concerned is to accept
the generous terms which the county
has offered, aud up to which she will so
faithfully live.
