One of the most remarkable OF the
minor features Of the late election was
the fact that the pretensions OF Mahone
were rejected not only by his native State
asa whole. but also 10y the city in which
he resides, by the county IN which h
was born, and, above all, by the pre-
cioct within the boundaries of which
he first saw the light. 1t is no exagge-
ration of language to refer to him no"
n the outcast for at this moment he
ia an outcast in every sense OF that
terrible word. His State has thrown
him of in horror as son too los

even maternal consideration. Indeed.
she will never cease TO lament the hour
that she gave him birth. The people OF

The very spot where he began his exist

scorn because his nativity casts on ii
the shadow of disgrace.

There is around him none Of the glory

Of the dignity Of defeat. His most re-

his present white followers will desert
him. leaving him only the negroes who
will adhere TO him, simply because he
has been abandoned by his own race.
