Every word the World says is true, and
shows that it fully appreciates the situa-
ton: but not more fully, however, than
the Philadelphia Times independent Re
publcan), from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
"The greatest peril TO the Democracy
was the Virginia contest. Had Mahone
won Virginia that State would have been
transferred to the Republicans. and Il
would have been only the beginning ol
the end Of Democratic rule in the South
But Malone is beaten, and he may now 20

The New York Times Republican,, like
the man whose wife had been dead an

and in cropping around for consolation

chances upon this reflection:
"The defeat of Malone In Virginia saves
the Republican party from great danger

party for concessions to him and such a

the solid South"
The Times is welcome to all the consola.
ton it can extract from the above-and sc
is MALONE.
The Charlotte O.. CO. Observer, after do
monstrating that MALONE undertook tc
play the same game in Virginia that h'd
been played in other southern States, and
which resulted in series Of disturbances
which it cites, remarks:
at had contrary effect from what he had
ANTICIPATED, just as it had in other States
where it had been tried, for it showed the
danger and united the white people in {
common cause in self-defence. The result
was the rout OF the Malone gang and the
redemption OF the State. The result will
be quiet in Virginia and no more conflicts
between the races"
The Wilmington IN. C.) Stars rooster
crows from the top of column Of bright
paragraphs rejoicing with Virginia. The
Raleigh Nelcs and Observer says:
"Our readers will enter fully into the
inexpressible delight with which we chron'
icle the emancipation Of Virginia from the
corrupt rule Of Malone and his satellites
1t is indeed an occasion for rejoicing that
the eXecrable Malone has been repudiated
Tho Old Dominion has been redeemed,D
The Lcesbrg Uoudoun county Miro
closes a iubilant editorial with these words
"And now, in the hour OF our supreme
satisfaction, let us thank God, from whom
all blessings flow,' and strive to cultivate s
spirit Of peace on earth, good will among
men, to the end that this proud old Com
monwealth may henceforth SHINE in all heI
pristine glory"
Again we say, Amen.
