OF course every editor is expected to
pass judgment upon the late elections.
These off years are always uncertain, and
no one can tell what year may bring
forth The loss of the Legislature in
New York is by no means pleasant, but
it may be well enough to spring the ac-
ton of the party to herculean efforts next
year. Again, in the nomination Of a can

slider the most available man to carry
New York, and that man az it now looks
will be Tilden.- Iultfha HerulH.

So far as General f'inlcy'S defeat in
the last election is concerned We can say
that the Constitutional amendment. pro
or con, had rothing to do with it. The
best informed will testify to this fact.
The combination of circumstances, which
the EcDnomiSt says should be made
known in OrGcr 10 avoid similar defeats
in tn" future, cannot by any means be at
tributcd TO q lcstons OF this political east
and it would subserve no political end to
discuss them The fact is the campaign
lacked enthusiasm and. as it was an of
year, 4 general apathy prevailed, "a is too
frequently the case Furthermore, it is
to be remembered that Dennis, Of Alachua
county, did not, as in another campaign,
use his influence with the colOred vote TO
defeat Iiisbec. The question Of Constitu-
tional amendments, upon which the From
o,ni1 lays so much strain, is 4 matter
which the Democratic party is perfectly
willing should be settled bv the vote OF
the people Of this State.

special: A reign of terror prevails in
every part Of the county, except perhaps
Kilsore, from which place there is no
report. The excitement is due to q raid
upon whites, supposed to be contem-
plated by negroes. White farmers have
their wives and children in houses, and
are holdirg guard over them. In some
communities little sleep has been had
since Friday night, and hsggsrd faces,
with looks Of fear or determination are
seen everywhere, betokening the extrem.
tiles produced by blood.curdliDg reports
brought in by each. Hundreds Of coun-
trymen in LonRview to day, on return
ing to their homes, carried all the srns
and ammunition obtainable. TIE whole
trouble has arieen from threats and
speeches Of a few colored persons of bad
reputation, whose course is not sane
toned, and was not known by the mass
of the negroes. There are indications
that as much of the fear has been ex-
cited among the latter as among the
whites. How ever this may be, people
have been carried to such q pitch Of
excitement, that it is certain should
white persons be molested, one of the
bloodiest tragedies will be enacted ever
