CoLoRED PEOPLE WHO DID wELL.-As
the Lynchburg Virgnian says, 'the colored
people who cut loose from Malone and
boldly voted the Democratic ticket, of whom
there were many, deserve well of the white
people. They have found out that bossism
doesn't pay. and that antagonizing those
among whom they live and from whom
they derive their support is b policy and
bad politics. They have found out that all
Malone cares fol- them is to get their votes
and thereby advance his selfish schemes.
They have been slow finding Gut these
thingp, but better late than never. The
colored people VINO have made this new de.
partu1e, if they are wise, will continue ip
the same direction, and draw closer to them
the friendship of the only people who have
an real disposition to heip them or care
anything about them"

Possibly when Mr.. Harrison read the pa

of the gross improperly Of man holding
his exalted position engaging in low dick

NATIONAL ELECTION LAW The Wash

under date of Nov. 6sh, says:-
cat recent csbinet meeting the ques-
ton of the ACCESSIBILITY of an attempt to
have national election law passed at the
coming session of Congress was considered
and discussed. All the members except
two, Messrs. Blaine and Tracy, expressed
themselves in favor of it, and from what
Mr.. Harrison said it is supposed that he
was too. 1t is not supposed that the re-
suit of yesterdays election will induce eth
er Mr.. Blaine Or Mr. Tracy TO change his

THANKS TO THE NORTHERN SPEAKERS.

thing fer the Democratic State Executive
Committee to adops resolution of thanks
to Senator Blair and Congressman Burrows,
Cheadle, Perkins, Brum, and other North
ern Republicans for the assistance thsy rem
dered the Democrats in the late election in
showing Malone under. Their services

MONEY IN THE ELECTION. State
Republican attributes the defeat of Malone
10 the use Of money, and we think that had
something to do with it, but it was the
money that the corruptionsts, Clarkson,
Quay, and Dudley, with the assent of the
administration, gave Malone to purchase
votes with. When the people Of Virginia
learned that an attempt was thus made to
bribe them, they resented the insult with
virtuous indignation. and taught Malone
that he was mistaken when he said, as he is
reported to have done several years since,
that he could carry the State with 5000, 900.
Malone is not true Virginian and he does
not know the character of Virginians.-
Yes, Bro. Fuukhouser, money had some
thing to do with it.

Gen. Malone told the national republican

They took him at his word and gave him

as in several other of the Generals similar

sNo; vacancy can only occur by my

Democratic Victories.

The Democratic victories on Tuesday OF
last week were of such decided character
as to cheer the Democrats and to depress
the Republicans. The Democrats are IN
expressibly happy and the Republicans
correspondingly distressed. We were so
engrossed with the election in this state,
upon which its very salvation depended,
that we did not observe how the Democrats
were working in other States, and hence the
Democratic victories in those State were al
most as unexpected as they were CRAFTY
ing. 1t is true we had some hope that
Foraker would be defeated in Ohio, but
feared that ''the wish was father to the
thought" but that hope was more tnan
realized, for the Democrats not only de-
feated Foraker, but carried the Legislature
also, which was even more important tnan
tho election of Governor, for it ensures
the election of Democratic .. s. Senator,
so that there will be no loss in that regard,
as Payne, the present Democratic Senator
will be succeeded by another Democrat
But who imagined for moment that Iowa,
heretofore such strong Republican State,
would elect a Democratic Governor, and
that it would come very near electing a
Democratic Legislature. New York and
New Jersey also gave Democratic MAORI
ties, as did Maryland. The Republican
majority in Massachusetts was greatly re-
duced. The Democrats gained everywhere
and the Republicans lost everywhere, and
now the latter have an ague of fear, and
their knees are knocking together, for, like
Belsh AGAR, they see the ominous hand.
