REWARD or , oLirIcaL COURAGE

The election which took place in Missis-
sippi Tuesday was the first that has been held
under the terms Of the provision for the
Australian ballot which formed part of the
new constitution of the State. The number
OF votes cast was very light. ns the issue Of
the election was assured, the great proportion
OF the negroe and no inconsidereble propor-
ton of the illiterste whites being disfrsn.
chised.
The power Of the Commonwealth of Missis-
sippi is now possessed by the representatives
of intelligence and property. II speaks verv
favorably for the controlling political senti-
ment OF the tate that both Senator George
and Senator Walthall will be returned. This
will be due to the bold and determined posi-.
ton which the former Senator took in onno-
sition to the extreme doctrine f the
Alliance. At first his LOYALTY to his con-
victions seemed TO doom him 10 certain ne.
feat. lie met the issue openly and souarely
and beginning at the earliest moment an
active and aggressive campaign from one end
OF the State to the other, the result was
triumph, not only for himself. but for the
principles which he supported with so much
manliness and such commanding ability.
Senator George has always occupied high
position in the Senate, but hereafter he will
be entitled TO even greater respect in that
body than he has hitherto enjoyed. The
success which he won in the face of the bit
terest hostility is but reflection of the suc.
cess which General Gordon secured in hin
great campaign in Georgia under similar
circumstances. The triumph of these two
d stneuished men only increases the regret
which is felt by all that General
Hampton should have declined to assume an
equally resolute front when his reelection TO
the Senate was opposed If he had thrown
himself into the contest with the ardor of a
Gordon or Ge) rge. he would to-day be il
Of the seat which he has filed !
with 80 much honor TO himself and his con.
stituents.

THE IMMORTAL DEMOCRACY.

The editor Of the Charlotte Gazette IN the
last issue of that excellent paper. INDUCED on
the eve of the election in number of interest.
ing reflections on the transformations OF
| parties which he had seen as a citizen both OF
Massachusetts, and of Virginia in the course O;
the last fifty years. The same thoughts have
| no doubt passed through the minds of all
persons of the same age. who. from their
earliest years. have felt very warm interest
IN contemporary politics. their concep-
ton OF the character of the parties of the
past having been made peculiarly vivid by be-
ing founded on actual observation instead Of
being acquired from the written records of
history.
Go back with the editor of the Gazette TO
that famous campaign in which hard cider
LOG cabins and coon-skins decided the day in
favor OF Harrison. The old Federal party
had been merged in the Wing but the Dem
ocrstic party remained. The Wing party
arose and gave away TO the Republican. but
the Democracy still survived and it WAS not
until the issue of slavery overshadowed all
other issues that il began to decline in popu-
larity.
The result Of the war with the preiudices
and passions which 1t created would have de-
stroyed any party but one resembling the
Democratic, which was founded upon nrinc;-
pies that are as essential 10 the existence If
republican institutions in the United States
as air is to the spark of life in the human
frame. Destroy the Democratic party and
"A 1so in n
and as a very large portion of the American
people whom the war closed we're determined
upon the perpetustion Of true republican
government in this country the Democracy
again arose-at first in a weakened condition
but 1t soon gained strength and with renewed
confidence continued its course.
Looking back as the editor Of the On
zette did upon fifty years enjoyment Of the
night to vote, 1t is easy 10 understand tbs
feeling which would be aroused by the recol-
lection OF the wonderful history of the Demo-
cratic party IN that long period of time. The
Federal, Wing, Free Soil, Know Nothing.
Masonic. Temperance, Greenbsck oreaniza-
lions had all disappeared, leaving legacy to
the Republican party of some of Their more
important principles. The contemplation OF
the extraordinary vitality of the Democracy
III the past might well lead ono TO think
apart iiom the inherent character of its min.
cipies. that IT is destined to last in its original
strength for an indefinite time. Having

TIE November number of the Soutbern

LOSING SYMPATHY.

The developments of the past forty
eight hours have put very different
phase upon the strike OF the Street Rail
way Employees Union from what it
bore previously. The ex-employes re-
ceived much sympathy from fellow
laborers and the pubic generally. and
their professions of adherence for vio-
lence and of their determination to
discountenance it. found many implicit
believers. Their carryalls were freely
patronlxed, while the street cars were
boycotted. But their deliberate resort
TO mob violence and their cold-blooded
preparations for resistance to lawful
authority have opened the eyes OF
many sympathizers with the strikers.
As law.sblding citizens they feel con-
strained now to condemn the move
ment which they first supported. Such
i the tenor of the communication,
which will be found in another column,
signed, "A Laborer."
When the Street Railway Employees
Union sent their mysterioua summons
