one which existed here before the war.

THE FIELD FOR THE PRESI'
DENCY,

The defeat of Malone so overjoyed the
Democratic editors of Virginia, Tuesday,
that they overlooked the other States tina,
voted on the same day.
In New Y ork the Democrats elected every
candidate of the six on their State ticket by
majorities ranging from 10000 to $4,000
except the Secretary of State, who was a
Prohibtionist and was defeated by $1,000
majority. The Republicans carried the
legislature through Democratic divisions.
In Pennsylvania where the Democratic
vote was in minority of nearly 10000
last year on the whole vote, they this year
were only beaten $4,000 votes by the whole
undivided Republican party.
In New Jersey the Democrats carried
the State by 1000 majority.
In Connecticut the Democrats lost the
legislature.
In Maryland the Democrats carried The
State, and IN Mississippi they carried tht
State and killed out Chalmers, the Fort
Pillow Liberal.
In Massachusetts Ben Butler was
turned down by $4,000 majority, and is
preparing to run next year.
Minnesota as usual went Republican.
The elections of Tuesday give the Dem
ocrats 1852 solid votes in the electoral col
lege where it requires POI to elect Presi
dent. To supply the missing 80 they can
draw on the following list-Indiana Is,
Ohio %. New York So, California 8, Ore
gOn and Nevada 8.
The Republican party will 90.

THE DOOR WIDE OPEN.

We think we understand what kept
some Readjuster-D Democrats in the ranks
of the Coalition last week. 1t was sort
of chiyalric feeling of loyalty; they felt
like they didn't like to leave just as the
forces were going into action. We believe
they will see plainly enough, now, from
the comments of Gen. Mahone's Republi-
can organ, at Washington, that it was
intended to lead them into the Republican
party if he had succeeded, and they
will, being thus convinced, return to the
Democratic ranks. We wish to Say to all
such that they will be heartily welcomed
back. We exult in no victory over them,
but over VIM. Malone. We have touched
elbows with too many good Democratic
Readjusters in political fights gone by, not
to desire to be in line with them again.
We shall never think our majority in Vir-
GINA so large that we don't want to have
the old boys back again. Never mind
about the past boys; the door is wide
open, walk right into the old Democratic
house again! 1t is your fathers house.

DON'T DO TT.

We see some high and we'll merited
praise in the Richmond Dispatch and State,
of Col. Thos. J. Evans of that city, as a
preface to recommendation of him for
the post of First Auditor. While we have
the highest esteem for Col Evans person.
ally we respectfully protest against taking
him out of the legislature This Is no time
to take member of either house to put in
a State Office. 1t has been done in former
days when there were both Democratic
Governor and legislature, but at such a
time as this, with hostile Executive it is
wholly lnadmissable. Even in those for
mer days the election of Senators and
Delegates to State offices created updis=
guised dissatisfaction throughout the
State, with everybody but the immediate
friends of the gentlemen elevated. Don't
let's repeat old time blunders whatever
else we do. Don't do iJ!

THE STATE CHARITABLE INSTI.
TTJTTONS.

These citadels of Coalition are the centre
Of deep, if not wholly disinterested. in
terest, just now. The railroad speed at
which the Democratic occupants we're
shot out and on to the public commons
when the Coalition came in, arouses in
quiry as to how soon the operation can be
repeated by the legislature which assem-.
bles on the first Wednesday in December
next. In reply to ''anxious inquirers," we
may state that should the legislature have
two-thirds majority, which it will prob
ably have on assembling, Or at most a few
days thereafter by accessions from the late
enemy, it can make the changes in about
forty days. The "reorganizing bill'' can
be passed; the power of appointing boards,
which is statutory, can be transferred from
the Governor to the Democratic Board of
Public Works and the Democratic Legis.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC DUrY-If tn

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC DUTY-If the
Virginia Democrats really have majority
in the next Virginia Legislature duty of
the most imperative character rests upon
them. That duty is to formally invalidate
the action of the Democratic Convention,
which declared few months ago that the
party accepted the Riddleberger act as q
fual settlement of Virginia's debt. Until
the Democrats do that, and proceed to
settle honestly With the bOndholders, the
faint of reputation will rest upon them as
it does upon the Republican party in Vir-
charlottesville CGurier-Journal.
Exactlyl Well, the Virginia Democracy
have not the slightest idea of doing any
thing of the kind. The Democratic party
pledged its honor to the people of Virginia
not to interfere with the Riddleber9er bill
and 1t intends to keep its pledge in letter
and spirit. And that is the end of the
matter,
