The Glorious Victory.

.The news may be still better to~mor-
row. we venturcd to say yesterday. And
here Il Is right before you, reader, In the
columns Of the Dispatch. Once more has
Il proved true that the doubtful counties
drop on the victorious side. Our triumph
lacks nothing OF completeness. IL stands
unrivalled. But the completeness OF II
cannot be appreciated In the northern
States, where the returns will be compared
as the returns OF northern elections are
compared--numbers against numbers.
without regard 20 the voters. Here tue
most OF the white people were massed on
one side. and the negroes on the other. IL
was supposed that hundred thousand me-
gro votes would be cast for the MALONE
candidates on Tuesday. Richmond alone
cast more than onc'twentieth OF that num-
Der. though she has only one twenty-fifth
of the members OF the House OF Delegates.
We suppose, therefore. that one hundred
thousand negroes voted the MALONE ticket.
How many white men: Let the results
indicate. We will not guess. But after
making the most liberal estimate, we
are Obliged to gee that there must be about
a hundred thousand majority Of the white
voters who cast their ballots on Tuesday
last against MALONE. This calculation Is
based upon the assumption that 100000
negroes and proportionately large num-
Der OF whites participated in the election.
~
either side, the relative proportion OF
whites and blacks will be the same. Now,
these facts must be taken into the account
in making up an opinion as to the nature
OF the Democratic triumph In Virginia on
the 9Th.
General MALONE now has OF course
nothing to do do but to go over, bag and
baggage, to the Republican party. ere
adjustment" redistricting the State in the
interest Of the Republican party, commits
sioner- of-land sales bills, and all such dem
agogical schemes, will no longer occupy
his attention, nor that Of his followers.
Like the Greenback party, the Coalition
party will disappear. Tuesdays frost
scattered ali such .sora. The contest next
year in Virginia, as in all the other States,
will be between the Republican and the
Democratic parties.
CHALMERS, OF Mississippi, CASH, OF South
Carolina. and number Of other such office
seekers were anxiously awaiting the result
in Virginia. They are now buried In the
grave with MALONE. The solid South
stands, as General BEE said OF General Il.
j. JACKSON. like a stone wall'-solid for
the dismissal OF all war issues and for the
peace, glory, and prosperity OF the entire
Union-solid for the Democratic party I'M
I'll a southern man shall have been recog-
nized as equal to northern man-until the
prejudices Of the northern people are so
done away with that Vice-Presiden. may
be elected from the South.
Yes, glorious day for Virginia was the
9th of November. The joyful counte-
nances and the exultant feelings OF the
white people Of this city on yesterday were
worthy Of observation. The night is
spent, the sun hes risen in its glory, and
Virginia basks in the warming, brighten
ing, enlivening light. Who will refuse to
Join in the loud acclaims with which the
news OF our glorious victory was received!
