HERE are two views of the election from
the same able journal. The first was taken
early on Tuesday night, between the sherry
and champagne, probably and is as follows:
1.-THE result of yesterdays elections settles
the matter beyond all doubt that the next
President of the United States will be a
Democrat, and that the two great Democratic
States of Ohio and New York will furnish
one or both the presidential candidates
There will be much sorrow and consterna-
ton among the offce-holding monopolists
when they read the returns this morning
and comprehend their true significance"
This song of Miriam, so to speak, was
changed into the following solemn and
stately reflection yesterday, when the able
editor had had an accession of information,
and had probably been reading Hervey's
Meditations Among the Tombs:
'The result of Tuesdays election was in
every way encouraging. 1t showed that no
one party of Americans is likely to deal an
other such a deadly blow as to knock it en-
tirely out of the ring. That will only tenn
porarly chill the ardor of extravagant par
tisans who enjoy the hope of overwhelming
and utterly crushing victory. Such victory
would deprive the country of the wholesome
result will only inspire the thoughtful to re-
newed effort"

THE News says anent Superintendent Rob-
bins's profane blackguardism against the re-
porters for the city press:
indianapolis newspaper reporters need
no defense from US. They are body of gem
tlemen who mind their own business and
speak the truth. as a cloud of witnesses
whom they daily meet will testify. Mr..
Robbins is probably, by this time, sorry for
his sentiments and his utterances. If he
isn't we are sorry for him. He needs to con-
troll his temper and bride his tongue"
The defense of the News is every whit
true and just There is altogether too much
cant twaddle about newspaper reporters. AS
a rule they are gentlemen, intelligent, alert,
honorable, and with only a desire to truth
fully and faithfully serve their papers.
These are the qualities that make them valu-
able. Without these they cannot retain,
and do not place upon a reputable jour
nal. There are exceptions, of course, just as
there are exceptions in decent superintend-
ents of police; but when this exception is
discovered, the reporter goes, and so must

Quoted in Virginia upon the Democratic plan
of intimidation and murder. A special dis
patch from Petersburg says:
Wakefield in this State is thriving and
prosperous little town located on the Norfolk
d. Western railroad, and has heretofore en-
Joyed the reputation of being one of the most
orderly and law-abiding communities in Vir-
ginia. At the election there yesterday polit-
zeal feeling ran very high. All day long the
polls were surrounded by large crowds, most
of whom were armed with pistols, heavy
cudgels and other weapons"
Some fnikin gentlemen may think Senator
Malone bad man; but for one, we think an
alliance with him, or with any one else, not
only warranted but necessary, if 1t promises
a hope of stopping this assassination of free
suffrage upon which the government is pro-
jected and upon which alone it
can permanently stand. We consider
free suffrage-which Malone and
''Mahonism" stood for and which was en-
joyed by all the citizens OF Virginia while
he and his party had power of vastly more
value than the paltry difference between
one set of men who propose to hon
estly pay part of the debt of the State, and
another set of men who content themselves
with pompous resolutions about honor, and
never pay even a cent of interest, to say
nothing of the principal of the States in
debtedness. We should be pleased to hear
of a dollar of the debt ever paid by
the boosted "Funder'' party before
becoming excited over the proposition of the
Readjuster party. When in Richmond, some
years ago, one Of the leading men of the
State said of the Funders, that they were sui
phurous on funding" they were always
ready to fund" interest and principal, but
they never had been and never would be
ready to pay dollar. That is the fact, and
when the hallot-box is surrounded with
murderers armed with shotguns, and thou
sands of legal voters kept from eyen deposit
ing their ballots, all talk of the difference be-
tween funding" and never paying, and pay
ing honestly part of the debt, is paltry and
unworthy. The first thing is TO have State
wherein men can vote. After that there will
be time to arrange for the payment of the
debt. There is something better and higher
in this government than a few dollars

THE Louisville Courier-J ournal betrays the
cloven hoof unwittingly. 1t says: THE white
Democrats of Virginia may now have free
vote and a fair count" That is precisely the
idea. The ''white Democrats" or "the citi-
zens." to use the euphemistc language of the
Danville murderers, may enjoy free vote
and a fair count, while the negroes and the
white people who are not Democrats shall
'enjoy' the shotgun or fraud, just as may be
necessary to insure victory to "the white

marvel and envy of the world. The enor-
nous war debt has been already reduced by
more than thousand million dollars; the
interest rate has been steadily reduced, and
the burden of taxation decreased.
The outstanding public debt bears
the lowest rate of interest
ever known in the history of the country.
Everything unites to prove the disposition of
the Republican party to help the people, and
to cut down taxation to the lowest possible
rate consistent with sound business princi-
Piles. The Republican party not only prom
Uses, but turns to the record and shows the
unparalleled progress made in this direction
ever since the war. A perpetuation of Re-
publican control is a sure guaranty of con-
tinued progress and prosperity.

SOME people may think it very trivial Of
Tense to kill a few coored men in order that
'white Democrats" and ''ctizens'' may carry
elections This internal crime and outrage
against the sovereignty of the American
people may appear TO some to be of little ac-
count but the great mass who rallied to the
defense of the ballot box, the rule of the
rightful majority, and the equal legal rights
of all men, in 1860 and succeeding years, will
not be driven from the full accomplishment
of their purpose. Political murder must go.

WHAT Superintendent Robbins may think
of newspaper reporters is of very slight i'm
portance and no possible consequence. 1t
may show the coarseness of his mind and the
quality of his character as a man, but it is
not worth the dignity of an investigation by
the police commissioners. The matter of
real Importance, as affecting the board and
the public, is the truth of the Superintend-
ent's assertion that he overturns the State
law at his own sweet will, and that the board
permits him to do as he pleases. Here is
something worth an investigation and in
which the honor of the members OF the
board as law-abiding citizens and officers,
and the honor of the city and State as we'll,
are vitality Interested.

"in the next presidential election, with ju-
dcious platform and popular nomination,
at least we should keep all the Republican
men and money at home to take care of But

speak, on its hands-Tilden and Butler.

THE mission of the Republican party was
not to free the colored man, clothe him with
the balloa, and then turn him over to Demo-
cratic murderers if he did not use that bal
lot in way to suit white Democrats. " The
Republican party intended to give the gov
eminent ample power to protect its citizens
of all races and colors and conditions in the
full enjoyment of the citizenship with which
they were clothed. The Republican party
will not rest neither will it die, until it ac-
complishes its purpose, despite Democratic
assassins, Democratic apologists, or technical
Supreme Courts. Some people, North and
South, may not like this sort of talk or this
sort of spirit The spirit and the talk will
both cease when political murder ceases, and
not before
