Micawbers in busibusiness do not, in fact, make large fortunes. "But," say some men, "I cannot leave my store to go about aud stir up trade." Perhaps, indeed, he cannot, but he can send out his winged messengers of enterprise, in the shape of such lively advertisements as will cause people to "stop and talk" with him before buying elsewhere. Advertisements are good scouts and firstrate skirmishers.

Of the -q( twentj'-three States that on Tuesday of u0 the last week held elections for State ye and Federal officers, the great States of a * New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Michigan, Douisiana, Alabama and cr>1 others, have swelled the tide of Demo- pr cratic success, and given a clear majority in the next House of Representatives.

They prepare the way for foi a Conservative triumph here, and in the aP meantime hold the rod of a prospective change and final accountability, over no the party in power. This, too, is the su lesson taught at home, for though Re- Pa publicanistn has triumphed here, it has been by decreased majorities, and in some sections, especially, it is apparent that the ties of party are being loosened, and that it requires only a proper manip- ' UiailUIl VI LUC VUU8C1 VUU VO ClCUiVUW iv turn the tide of victory. The canvass in tol our own County is very encouraging, and the elections of the Republican t nominees by small majorities in some ac] instances, and their defeat in others, [ Bhow that the Couservative element in 20 Abbeville is a powerful one, and is con- ; trolling where divisions exist in the Re- $81 publican rank3. , As we have remarked, the immediate 60 effect of the late elections is to give a | Democratic majority in the Lower Rj House of the next Congress. The present Republican majority is one hundred and ac eight, there being two hundred Republicans and ninety-two Democrats. In Co the elections last month in Ohio, Indiana and other States, this majority ac was reduced to seventy-six by the election of sixteen Congressmen, leaving icc only a majority of thirty-nine members to be taken "from the Republicans and $7^ added to the Democrats. The late elections have largely overcome this major- uc ity, and though the returns are yet im- \ perfect, we see that the Democratic ma- jj? jority iu the next Congress is estimated ; at seventy-seven members. Tuesday's q? elections also control the election of j twelve Senators; but as this cannot $2 change the present large Republican majority m mat Douy, ^epuuncuus ai( forty-nine, Democrats 18, Liberals 5,) ] it can excite no general interest. aci A Democratic majority in the House, with the Speaker and the standing com- 44( mittees, and the power to order and con- ] duct the investigations of select com- ] mittees, with the control of the appro- lot priafion bils, &c., will give them a potent ( machinery for conducting the next $4( Presidential election. This majority in ( itself is an indication of a change of $4( sentiment which will sweep the present ( administration from power; and install W into power the party of reform. Repub- ( licanism has been tried in the bal- M< anceand found wanting, and tlieverdict of the people is being rendered. Some of the Republican journals have been GK attempting to explain away the late ha Democratic successes by saying that suI Republicanism did not enter into the C01 canvass, but only personal, local, and bcl financial questions, about which both parties are divided; but which, never- url theless, turned the tide of victory in favor be I of the Democratic nominees. .

Ohio Senator was ^ renaded last week in Washington, and r ade a speech, in which lie ridicules 5 e idea of Intimidation to which Re- 1 iblicans are wont to attribute Demo- 3 itic successes in the South, and pre- * ots a glowing picture of the results of ^ e recent triumphs. He says: "Year after year our victories in the >uth have been falsely attributed to in- 6 nidation, and member after member g Congre&a, duly elected, has lost his e at upon this false charge. At every ection for years, Southern outrages iv.e been the battle cry of Radical poli jians in the North, and the ^justifica- a >n fbr Jaws that disgrace civilation, ? id usurpations that lay the axe at the f ot of Republican institutions. But hat can these manufacturers of false s 'etences say now when our triumphs c the North are even more signal than j ose at the South, when even Massamsetts, persistent, unvarying, habit- * >und Massachusetts,?sets the seal of 8 sr condemnation upon Radical misrule, id for the iirst time in nearly half a ^ ntury scats an honest Democrat in her ibernatorial chair. And in this conaction was it not right, gentlemen, that < should refer to Benjumin F. Butler, { ho, in accepting this last nomination, t tvj3 as his chief reason for wishing to , " " Ml 1 k main in uongress ma win uhu aun?; still further bind and oppress the < juthern people. Bat the time had i issed when his persecuting cry found . ready response in the hearts of his mstituejits. The time had passed J hen violations of the constitution, con- ' mpt for justice, disregard of policy and s ?gfect of the interests of tne people r uld all be over-looked under the in- . leuce of passion and prejudice; and 1 Mice the result. You see, he raised the * ack flag of persecution, and under 1 at hateful banner sought to maintain ? s place in the Congress. The people I ised the white flag, not of defeat, but peace, and said to the would-be-per- ? "Rtnv thou at home." If you|J k me, fellow-citizens, what are the c uses of our victories, 1 would answer, ? scontent with Radical rule. If ycfti c k me fpr the reasons of this discon- " nt, I answer that our Radical rulers 1 ive in the last nine j'ears persistently } t at naught every instinct, feeling, J ibit and teaching of the American ? ople. Americans are a constitution- 1 I'ing people, but no regard has been G id to the constitution by our rulers. ? ruericans are a liberty-loving people, 1 it liberty has been remorselv tram plea ? ider foot. Americans are a home-ruleeing people, but home-rule has been ? ;ated with scorn and contempt, and k mgress assumes and exercises the ? were of an omnipotent parliament, | mericans are an honesty-loving peo- t b, but credit mobiliers, Sanborn con- c icts, custom house frauds and Wash- E V,o\m rnnflp pnrriintioti BllJU ' '"B0 ? i nost a synonym for government. The J; lancial embarrassments now upon the * untry could not be attributed to the ;mocrutic party, as that party has had ' i power in this land for the past twelve ars. The Republican party have had 1 riumphant majority in both houses J1 Congress, and absolute control of the 1 lances of the country. In reply to a y of "How about the Independent ess," he said the Independent press d accomplished work during the past ? ar which would redound to its honor ? long as the press lasts. In reply to a * estlon of "How about the third term," e lurman said: "My friend in the ? hite House has not given that idea up " t. He is trying to fight it out on that r te if it takes a year and a half. If the ^ esident don't want a third term, why heaven's name don't he say so. He hurman) saw in a newspaper a few V8 ago, that Gtn. Grant did not con- ? ler it consistent with his dignity to 1 ike any denial of being a candidate ? a third term. That was a very poor 1 ology. The Republican State Con- c ntion of South Carolina had solemnly minated him for a third term. Did t that authorize him to speak on the bject, or did he think that the Radical * rty of South Carolina was so utterly 0 ntemptible that he could not answer 1 ?" n ]i Transfers of Real Estate. e ?

The strong reason jed is that it will promote harmony I twecu the races, and effect a wished union between numbers and intelli- X nee. The article thus concludes: 'If the democratic party comes into wer it will imitate tne dexterous tacs of Disraeli when he passed the new J sform bill. There is no democratic J ider in the North who docs not know a at the party would be ruined by an _( xjmpted to upset negro suffrage; and ere is 110 democratic leader in the uth who does not feel that negro vot? would be perfectly safe if the poli- _ s of the section wero left to the cou- Z it of local leadership and intelligence, f ie era of good feeling between the two * jes will dawn with the removal of ex- . nal obstructions from the white dem- A ogucs who will lead and bamboozle ^ b negroes.
