KOUTI1 AM WF.T. taught by the recent 1 ne KreBi iiru election is that the , sceptre has -departed rom the Kast. In the South what was left unfinished iu previous elections, has been completed. South Carolina, with a black majority, lias become the head of the white column. By the determination of her people and the masterly ability and popularity of Wade Hampton she has voted Democratic almost unanimously, so to peak. Other gains have been made in the South, as our telegraphic dispatches have announced. 1 The South has done her duty, as a whole; the West has performed hers. New York has. failed- Conaecticut has failed. Penn sylvania has failed. New Jersey has failed. Shall New York lead us again ? HI(;iMZATI(. The Democratic party iu the Third Dis trict wa defeated lst Tuesday moruing on account of inefficient county organiza tion AH over the District there were men who did not vote. These men should )., tuin o-)i(ul 'ttiniild Wvp Vwon nrtrpil Ito go to the polls. ,L How could we exp?ct different results yith such machinery ? The committees are usually too large ; for what can le well r done by three suitable men if divided up between a -dozen' will not be done at all. Every man wails for his fellow to take the lead, and consequently nothing, or :t best M)ut little, is accomplished. , Now what we want is less cumbersome achinery. There must be more efficiency. Either the Virginia plan of township and ounty' superintendent, who shall be re ponsible only to the party collectively, or tthe plan of small committees of three or tfive, composed of the most active and the Vwisest mn in the party, would answer. tWe must have a change. Vtiil RESULT IN THK W ' TRICT. THIRD 1)1- ? - The nftexpected and untoward result of the election in this Congressional District has naturally caused much depression . . A "'' A A. A Al f among liemocrats. n is a maner ior me deepest regret that so ,rue, so able and so experienced a man us Col. A. M. Waddell is to retire from Congress. It is a matter for the most pungent regret . that he is to be succeeded by so base a man political ly as Daniel L. Russell. V Col. Waddell's defeat was caused chiefly by the over-confidence of the Democrats throughout the District. If there had been any "inkling of danger he would have Chad a majority probably larger than that f 1876.1 Another cause was the defection of a number of voters in some of the lower counties ( of the District, who joined the National, Greenback, movement. As was said jost now, Col. Waddell I would be the Congressman-elect, to-day, if every Democrat had worked with spirit. More thorough organization was needed in all the counties of the District. The cam paign in some counties was commenced too Hate. There wa9, probably, not enough speaking in some counties. There was, .certainly, not enough quiet efiort in any county. Hardly any one realized that there was the slightest danger, though ap peal after appeal was made by the press to stir up voters. The feeling was general that, Col. , Waddell's personal popularity and his efforts on the stump would ensure succes. H an able canvasser, having hardly a 'superior in the South. He is likewise very popular. But his health breaking down, he was obliged to abandon (the canvass. Gallant Democrats came to dus assistance, and the speeches of - Allen, MeClammy, Dunham, Stanford, Poisson, Myrdver and others enlivened the canvass, Wl were helnfaL But the hurrah was at tfie last hour. For this, among the honest Tmocrats of the District, no one individ ual or county is to blame, but we are all Responsible alike. May this defeat be a warning that will need never to be repeated. o win we must work. THE ELECTIONS. The result demonstrates : 1. That the rd money idea in the party is a failure in ractice. 2. That the irredeemable green ack idea is as great a failure. 3. That utler is a failure, though he came near ng a success, 4. That the State of A l i I . mmI.ai .mrkn r That Pennsylvania is a fast Republican tate. 6. That Democrats can count more urely on the West than on the East and pa the South far better than on any other Ifction. ; ' r The Republican party has made solid ains in the North, but has been slightly Jhaken in the "West. Its only hope for 1880 is to hold New York and Conhesti- '-, cut, and regain what it has lost in Illinois r and other Western States?

The Democratic partv in the South and West is made up of the yeoman masses, and these must control it. New York has again and again demon strated her .unfitness to lead. "When one of her candidates has been elected he has not the courage to take his seat. What is wanted is courage more than finesse. In the West there are the ablest men in the party beyond all question. The South asks nothing, expects nothing, except the privilege of managing her local concerns and helping to elect Democratic Congresses ! and Presidents. , THK NOKT1I, R P Comments uu the Klectious of neadav -The New York Timex. Radical organ, says the defeat of Tammany was accom plished by the union of 28,000 anti-Tammany Democrats with 51,000 Republicans. It pronounces 'Mr. Kelty a "would-be po litical despot." , The New York Sun declares that "Tam many, t under the one-man power of Mr. John Kelly, Ms a fraud," a ud concludes: "We congratulate the people of the city, without regard to party; and including the Tammany voters, on 'the triumph of Tues day. Every man's welfare has been ad vanced by it. and the whole city will enjoy the oencnt of it. Y e u. vie congratulate also. 7 A II' the people of the State and of the whole country that a oower so dan irerous to the public liberties has been prostrated and ingly secured the appointment of the gen crushed." ' tleman named, who immediately proceeded i The New York Tribune,, vilely Radical, to the field of operations, with a noble dis- ! claims the result of Tuesday's election "as regard of the perils.to which they were ex- a splendid victory for honest money, as u "public verdict about fraud;" as a "public verdict cn "the course of the democratic party in power," and as "the Northern verdict on the attitude of the South." The New York Herald, shiYt-about, commenting on the -defeat of Tammany, says Mr. Kelly erred in forcing the nomi nation of Mr. Augustus Schell for mayor, and expressej the opinion that an abler man could ha've won". It adds : "The re sult of Tuesday election is the end of Mr. Kelly's attempt to gather into his own hands the whofe control of the city's ad- ministration. It is the probable end ofj while the 'public mind is still agitated on his control of the Tammany organization, i. the subject, to take measures for the pre which will now be organized without him j ventiou of future epidemics. The report of and against him." ; the commission will doubtless afford a first- The New York World, wiggle-waggle j rate nucleus for such" action, since all the Democrat, which, for the past year, has J members of. the commission are practical conducted a vigorous and unrelenting war i men, and accustomed to look at hygienic against Tammany, says" : ''The work which we legan October a year ago was Tuesday crowned with a full and glorious success, and the democratic party still lives. .It lives with an aured majority in the. Sen ate and in the House of Representatives of the 'United States, and from this time forth there will be no speech or thought of the revival of the noxious and odious oligar chy which was Tuesday flung out from it to die, save among those whose hatred of democracy is stronger tnan their love of the great city in which they dwell." The Philadelphia Press, Radical, says : "These results will have a marked effect upon the country, and will seriously modify the politics of the future. They will settle' the financial policy of the country, and settle it properly. Discussion has disclosed the fact thai the American people can as readily grasp and apply financial princi pies as any other, and that there is no danger of being permanently misled by fallacy or dishonesty. The struggle has been a memorable one andthe response of the people contains a warning to politicians who may seek to trifle with popular intelli gence or to tamper with popular consci ence." The Philadelphia Times, Independant, regards" the defeat of Tammany as giving Mr. Tildeu an ascendency in the Demo cratic councils of New York tind a conse quent brightening of his almost extinct Presidential aspirations," The limes re joices over the defeat of General Butler, and confesses that the result in Pennsyl vania is a signal triumph of the Cameron dynasty, and declares that "after all shall have been said that can be said about Re publican fraud, the fact will remain that the victory is the fairly expressed judg ment of the people of Pennsylvania." The Boston Post, (Dem.) says : "Cir cumstances beyong control have resulted in the defeat of the regular democratic ticket. The extraordinary canvass of Gen. Butler drew away thousands of democrats, largely from the conviction that by the introduction of a new element a sufficient number of republicans would join the move 'ment in order to break down the old re gime which has so long held possession at the State House. By his letter pf accept ance Gen. Butler placed himself Solely on a platform of State reform. Many demo crats were willing -to take him at his word, but his views on national ques tions were found so obnoxious to the old hard-money doctrines of democratic faith, and his assaults on the public credit were so prominent that many thousand demo crats were determined to defeat him at all events. fcThey therefore voted for Talbott, The regular democratic ticket in this way was subjected to an enormous-pressure from opposite directions, and consequently ran far below its merits. Tiis was not the fault of Judge Abbott or his supporters.; They have saved their honor and with it demo cratic organization for State and national purposes." Speculation In Regard to the Next Presi dency. The Washington Star in giving a sum mary of the congressional elections which have now been held in all the States for the Forty-sixth Congress except in Cali fornia, where the electionjdoesfnot come off until September next, claims that the main effort made by the republicans was to se cure a majority of 8tates in that Congress, with a view to the possible contingencies of the presidential election in 1880. Should that election by any chance fail before the people and be thrown into the house of Representatives and be decided by a ma jority of States, the Star adduces tables to show that they will be a tie in the next House on a vote of States, that consequent ly the House would not elect; and the functions of President would , devolve upon the president protempore of the SeDate. Assuming that California will go republican, that party will have a majority of Representatives in nineteen States. The. democrats will have major ities in the delegation's 'from eighteen States, with Indiana a tie, having six re publicans, six democrats and a greenbacker for its Representatives. This greenbacker Congressman,' Mr. De La Matyr, thus be comes a .very important personage. It is assumed that he will vote with the demo-crat-indeed. in a published speech he is reported as having given that assurance thus giving Indiana to that party, and making a tie of States in the House, fme c,aim To G nis personal friends, L iL. i u'- : a i : . 1 1 II A l lift M II 11 11 II Ik 1 1 X 11.

' Public tlcaltn AMoelat!en Tlio Coming Meeting at Richmond. On the 19th instant; the Public Health Association will meet at Richmond. Va., mainly to consider the preventive treat ment of yellow fever epidemics. The meet, ing will get its chief importance and interest from the fact that a preliminary report will be "read before it from' the United States commission now engaged in the South in investigating the origin of ' the yellow' fever and the causes which have contributed to its spread. This com mission, consisting of Professors L. M. ; Bemiis, of New Orleans, Jerome Cochran, of Mobile, and E. Lloyd, of Baltimore, owes its existence to the thoughtful munifi ceiice1 of a New York lady. Soon after the ftver appeared at Memphis the Presi dent was urged to appoint such a commis sion, but the funds were wanting until Mr. Elizabeth Thompson offered to put at the command of Dr AVood worth, surgeon general of the United States marine hds- pital service, the means necessary for the objects sought. Dr. W oodworth accord posing tliemseives. I heir preliminary re port will be presented before the Public- Health Association, and although it is. not expected to exhaust the subject, nor pro posed to terminate the investigations so soon and so hastily, the association is anxiously desirous that, persons : from all parts of the -country who are in- : terested in hygienic matters will be present to hear and discuss the report. One ob ject which it is expected can be thus se cured will be the preparation of a thorough and effective system for memorializing Con- gress prior to its meeting in December, and subjects from a practical standpoint. Reported Mataacre of Filty Persons. Galieton Xea'x, Xov. 2. A Dallas dispatch says : J. E. Hogue brings news from the frontier that the Ca- : hart-Dallas colony, located at Clarendon, ; forty miles southwest of Fort Ellis, were : massacred bv Indians moving north last week. There were fifty persons in the col ony. Among those reported killed are L. H. Cahart, Rev Allen, wife and family, Rev. Record, wife and family, Dyers and family, and Weaver and family. The colo- i ny was chiefly from Illinois and Iowa. The news is unconfirmed. A Huge Wedding Cake. . A Dublin confectioner has just produced the largest wedding cake ever made in the i Emerald Isle. It was for the breakfast on j the occasion of the marriage of Miss Roe ! with Lord Granville Gordou. The cake stands eight feet high, weighs three hun- dred pounds, and is ornamented with the arms of the Roe and Gordon families. Six bannerets with arms and monograms add to the imposing character of the structure, which is strewn with orange blossoms and myrtle. THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

' Tlie State Executive fJommittee congratu t lates the Democratic-Conservative party ol North Carolina upon Jhe result of the recent Congressional elections at the North. These elections clearly indicate three things which are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country' are dissatisfied with the Republican party and are unwilling for the Republican leaders to afflict us longer with -their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac tices. Second, that the Nationals do not meet .; with popular favor, and, as a separate organi zation, have utterly failed to impress them- : selves upon the country ; jand lastly, that. the j. stir of the Democratic party is still in tkc ' ascendant, and the people are looking to that j party as the only one capable of restoring ! prosperity to the country, and able to admin- ; isier the government on those Constitutional ; and just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of our citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the elections held in eight, States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected four ; and the Demo-' crats have elected twenty -three, and have gained seven. 1 - - These facts demonstrate that the people in tend to invest the Democratic party with the full control of the National Government. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic by a considerable majority, and it is only necessary for the Democrats of the South to remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete.' It is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the dust, or shall be borne on to victory. . Every consideration of interest, ot 'policy and of patriotism then urges us to prepare imraesiately for the. approaching political struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible to achieve success. Let us 1 ot by our apathy, our luke wartu ness and indifference postpone the accession to power of that party which alone tas been able to check Republican corruption and to arrest the progress of oer government towards a centralized despotism. Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin ciple, true to our organization and endeavor by every means to discountenance those inde pendents and disorganizers who oppose our worthy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. ...- In particular do we desire to repeat what we have so often urged the necessity 0 thorough local organization. It is the town sh'p committees who are charged with the most important of all party dnties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising mean&to bring out every Democratic voter to the polls. They ought to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for tunes of that party, on whose success depends so largely the prosperity of themselves and of their posterity. In every township, in every neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, efficient, and prudent party men, who will, undertake to see that every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and casts bis ballot for our nomlneec, We therefore urge this upon the township committees ; and if in any township it is ne glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends there to send their conveyances for all their neighbors who otherwise might not attend the polls. Let it be clearly understood iu every locali ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee, gives half a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts his vote for an independent is taking the surest means to break up and destroj- the only party which can give relief to our afflicted country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished except at the eOstof some inconVenience, and olten through the sacrifice of our personal preferences ; and we appeal to every man who has the good of the people at heart to give a portion of one day: to hie country, and subordinating hu individual preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party.

(Petehsburo Ixde & ArpRAx) ne DouTH-ATLANTic has taU" merit over any or its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are solid, though not heavy, and that no room appears to have been intended In it for productions of a trashy and frivolous character.
