What Southern Papers Think Of The Result

N o do not tor a moment imagine thal the American people wish that any state should again be ruled by a Scott, a Muses or a Bullock. The trutli was that the cod trol that was ncccssary and oven todlspeir sable in local affaire carricd with it considerable influenoe in national affairs. With the help ot two northern stalen the soutli could eloct the President and be master of the govemment. We know, or think we know, that power would have been exereistd wisely, but the eonquerers were uot ready to be ruleJ, even to their ownadvantage, by the conquered, nor would the south have been if Grant instead or Lea bad surrendered his artuy l'Jyears since. Besides this latent war feeling there was the inighfy influence ot' bankers, merchants and shopkeepers, who liad no particular objiiction to the demoeíacy eoming into place exccpt that it involved a chango of Mum' sort, and they wished no cbaAge ni any sort. Why should they? Business is good, money is cheap, cvery dcpartmcnt of trade ¦ flourishing. It is true that the currency is in an unstable condition ; but the oool head of the eitizen not in debt would not expect from a party which had prostituted itdclf to the Plaisteds and the De La Matyrs a betler dollar than would be furnished by Chittenden, Morton and Sheruian. And we muy ald that, wilh eyes open to all its faults, the white people north of the Potoinac had come to the conclusión that there w;is a. better prOspeol of a good isoverniuent from the tepublican party than from the demooracy. Wliatever the exact way in whieh it carne about, it is a hard fact that the government of the United States tor the next t'our yeaw will be repujiliean in speech, purpose and action. The republican President will upparently have at his back a republican congress. What they will they can do with the southern states and their people. We hope and believe, however, that the business interest, which were the maiiispring of Tuesday's work willl be opposed utterly to any legislation that would in any way embarrass the agriculture and manufactures, the tradeand commerceof the smith. It is to the interest of the north and west to take this position. They will do it whenever and as soou as the people of the southern states cease to be imposed by politicians as the would be autocrats of the Union that they did their utmost to destroy. When the spectre of Bouthern supremacy is laid the northern people will be f'reer to exhibit their kindly and interested feelingR. And one of the firntquestionsthe coutliern whites will have to ask themselvcs is whether the welfare of the south has been and is likely to be hindered oradvauced by an alliance with the democrats of the north. It does not hurtthose gentry to bo beaten. They are sure to have a just and equal government in their states in any event. Not so with the south. In losing polhically, the south loses in pocket and in peace of mind. Will the south rcoiain on the losing side, and, if so, on what ternis, and for what purpose ? The southern people, we fancy, will make themselves hcard on this subject before winter is pat. " From the Augusta [Ga.] Chronicle. The south at least has kept her part of' the bargain, and if "the Hero of Gtettysburg" is uot President it is not her fault. We think, too, that she has for the last time been led lambüke (o the slaughter. Her experienco with loyal oivilians and military héroes has not been propitious in the past and the future holds no hope in that direction. What sho will do in future, time must disclose. Much dependa upon how great a gain the republicana have made in the senate and house, and wbat their policy will be toward this section. The south will be kept reasonably solid for her own protection and for the purpose of preserving the balance of power af'ter the next apportionmcnt, when the political domain shifts from the east to the west. The tremendous problem now conl'ronting the two parties "! H seotionais: Will tho aamlnitration of Mr. Gurfield be, in case of the control of congress, modelled upon that of Hayes, nr Hic.t.ated bv jirajit and Conkling, with Z. Chandler'a spint as the inspiring goblin. Until we know the exact nature of that adniinistration we reniain in abeyance. Meanwhile we may as well prepare for the worst and hope for the best." From the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times. Hancock has been beaten by John Kelly's crowd in New York. He gave the state to Cornell, Conkling and company last year, simply becauso a friend of Tilden was the nominee. He kept up a constant row and turmoil in the state and city from the time Hancock was nominated until the day of election. He nominated a municipal ticket which was a fearful load on the the electoral ticket, and lost the party t'ully 20,000 votes. His horrible, brutal, libellous war on the proprietor of tho nerald, has cost another 10,000. He was charged with the conduct of the city canvass and promised the full voto of the party. His pet for mayor goes in by a few hundred, while a popular man could have bad 60,000 majority. New York would have eleoted Hancock. Mr. Kelly threw it away to gratify bis evil temper, and because hc thought he could by no less violent means grab the city patronage. It is foolish to talk about the bloody shirt and humbug business issues so long as we tolérate such a magazine of political nitro-glyoerine in the mid'ilc of the party. Kelly must be unloaded. We cannot succeed with hini. We can organize a decent and honorable defeat without him. As for tho solid south and kindred issues, they have not beaten the democrats. The noith understands that the south is solid from tho most natural motives. New Jersey, California, Nevada and probiibly Oregon, as states, were not alraid of' the sulid t-outh. Three million northern votera cast tlvir ballots with the south. That war ory kept the o!d timers in line. lnternal quarrels among duuiocrata and stupid blundering did more for the republicans tbau they dia for tbemselves to secure the victory."
