One of the most cheering signs of the j times, U the moderation which the leaders 'of the victorious party have ( exhibited in tjhe hour of triumph, and Which famishes the best guarantee tfiat the victory la to be a permanent one. { In the midst of one of the most trenienl - * j dons political revolutions of modern ' fomes, and when the occasion would hs'tq'rally produce uhdup exbilftnjtiou, | the I>emdfcrat)cs leaders have repressed all feehngs of exaltation, and have been ealmly considering the causes of their triumph, and the most effective mode of jiecuring the fruite of victory. They have been wise enough to see'and candid enough to acknowledge, that it was pot altogether a Democratic triumph? (hat though that party gave character to ^be movement, and will most largely jeap the fruits of success, it was a battle ^n which all the elements of the oppo?itioji arrayed together, aud to the success'of\&ich Liberal Bepublicaniam largely contributed. Such are the views expressed ip recent utterances of Fernando Wood, Mr. Tilden, Senator Gordon and others, and they agree that *? n^miblicans were eo-workers in the late ^onteet, their co-operation for the future should'be secured by the adoption of a wise arid liberal j?lfcc/. Mr. Tilden said in a recent speeco "Many Republicans voted with qs; a?.d, if we ah) tH?e In opt future policy, fedy brill geaer^jUiy iXhtffcto as <*>-worktn-s jn our cause. Many tbouaauds of Republicans who bave not had the moral courage to break away from their party tie.?, wept more tranquilly on the night Ufter ute'ei^ction. In <?ur success they felt a sense' 'of relief. They saw the dawning of a beV hppe-' for their own persohal prokperlty/and for tpB rescue of the imperilled histitutionS or cftir Country. Let us, then, tn the rtfldst of yut' congratulations, not' forget to be rfwigriaiiimous toward our adversaries in the recent'content' Let us remember? what Grant's Administration seems fteVer to have kuoftn?tttttt the party flirted' with ttie p6wfeVs of tJovernment, while it will be guided by its convictions of right as to public measures, la offer ah. nnlv a trustee for the whole jjfegple.',' ' ~^ ""'j To the same purport are the y9$s of Jifr. Wood, as given by V^egortej: (ft the New ifork j&eraid:? ."The Democrats, therefore, should && their power with sole reference to t?e general welfare, and so conduct their movements as to sepur^ permanently the large accession or strength just obtained. The failure of the Republican _ party was very much owing t? the curBen fc of an opposition ahd.comprehension "of the greatness aiid necessities of the country.' Instead of Inaugurating and executing abroad policy for the restoration of the national industries and the development of our great resources, the &dpublican party had thought of nothing but to strengthen Its partisan power. Its Sduthenjf P9l\$ was couceiyed in this spirit; its financial policy, so gen orally ruiuyuu, was esiauii?ueu iur u? ? cfther purpose; Its statesmanship did not rise higher than this plane, falling far short of that comprehensive and patriotic standard which marked the course of those who preceded it in the coverntnen.t. ' It will be the aim of the Democratic party to do everything to remedy those defects by giving permartetict arid conservatism to every interest, to'restore trade and commerce, to reduce taxation, to repeal laws hostile to the giowth of our institutions. lifce the gag law and others; ttf giv3 the toeople of tjje South 'and' eyer? othkr sfectloii an opportunity to govern themselves'without military interference, iand Ito'promote the general welfare of the whole people. There could be no doubt that we were now about to enter upon a new era in our national history, which would be giore brilJiant and .beneficent than ife# ad preceded it As misgoveniment at the South was the most potent engine used against the Republican party ^ so we, of will most largely reap the benefit of recent sty^pepaes, if the Democratic party, realizing the full significance of the recent revolution, shall address itself vigorously ta'Ua?~t?*k of rejaoving the eviis wmcn oraf^j^aooiu,' m hicwuic time, that it ado$s * wise, moderate and conciliatory policy, in which Democrats and Republicans caii .both unite. Sueh is the key note of Sen atoj- ^Gordon 'a repent speech at Atlanta: ' /'Onejboon I ask in the hour of ^our daltaerancej I ask you to coromhwion me, in yo'ur name, to pledge upon the Senate,'yoUr fidelity to the Union under the Constitution; your acquiescence in laws passed in accordance with constitution, good and had, until lawfully rejieisjled ; your suppert of all rightful authority; your cordial friendship for eypjy man and n^en of all sections, who will aid in restoring pi-ace to the sec hicp*, jltetkp tp States, liberty to citi illiir zeiid, purity to all depdl'tmwta of -the (government and the constitution to its 1 j supremacy over Presidents, Congress, parties and Ihe people. (Loud cheers.) < I thank you, my countrymen, for that i respouse. You are as temperate in tri- i umph as you were great iu adversity. ? You cherish malice to' none, and are I liQstue onto thieves, usurpers and ty- ! rants." The Democratic party must accept the ' results of the war, as embodied in the Constitutional amendment*, and carry i out its pledges to the black race, if It ' will maintain itsle^se of power. This seems to be the dominant idea in the < jspeeohesof its le^dl/ig statesmen, and < to be echoed in all the utterances or an its leading journals. The battle has : been fought tf> give peace and prosperity J to the whxjle country, which the present administrate h?s failed to do, and its i defeat ^3 chiefly owing to the discontent whi,ch grew out of tiuft failure. The , Democratic party will now be on trial i before the country, and its success mnst i depend upon its ability to accomplish the purposes which the Republican party I has so sigpally failed ju carjyiijg out. ] Whatever may be the lines of its new | departure, and whatey?f they may purpose to do or to leave undone, we may t rest assured th^t it pannot, with safety, | ignore the great revolution through , which the country has passed, or seek to < obliterate the gfcat changes ^tyich have i been made by th,e war and its results. ? Accepting, then, the Constitutional c amendments as permaueut elements in 1 our organic law, and guaranteeing all j *" * ? * ?*?KlonL* f civil ana pouuctu Figuu* 11/ viova 1 v race, she will stand upon a platform on ? which Republicanst hemselves can unite i and in carrying out her ancient traditions, si?d guaranteeing Constitutional liberty to the people of evejry section, 1, will giye permanent peace and prosper- u ity to the whole country. a P The Republican Press on the Recent t Elections. d The Republicans journals, generally, c whilst admitting their defeat in the late t< elections, are disposed to attribute it to f< temporary causes, aud to indulge the w hope that the party w'li bp able to re- d trieve its past ill success in the Presi- e dential campaign of 1876, They seem n to rely a good deal on Democratic blunders. to bring about a Republican resto ration'to power and doubtleas hope that ] their opponents, in the pursuit of some n *uch impracticable scheme as repudia- p Lion, the disfranchisement of the blacks, r or the paymeut of the Southern war fi debt, will abuse the glorious opportuni- n ty for good which has been awarded II them. We trust that they may be dis- ti appointed, and the wise moderation of d recent Democratic utterances fully jus- il tify the anticipation. The Democratic ti party has now the opportunity of show- r ing that it is the lrue party of progress, p and the firm and consistent advocate of i equal rights, and we believe that thi future will justify the hopes of its friends. c ] The Next Legislature. J The Charleston Xeum and Courier 1 makes au estimate of the strength of the ? Conservatives and Independent Repub- > 1 leans in the present Legislature, and < comes to the conclusion that it will be 1 cdntrpl/ing enough to prevent any im- 1 proper legislation. In the last Legisla- 1 ture, thg Republican strength in the < Senate was 25, and the Conservative 8. In dje IJouse, Republican, 101, and Conservative, 28. In the present Legisla- < ture, the complexion of the House will t stand probably as follows:?Republi j cans, 60, Conservatives. 33, Independent ( Republicans, 31; whole number 124, | with a majority of four ffif $e Conser- t vat^ygs afyi ' fntfepprjdeni Republicans. Iu Sene?e, so far as ascertained, the yote ' will k? as follows: Republicans 18, { Conservatives 7, and Independents 8; J whole number 33. On joint ballot, the i vote will probably te divided as follows: 1 Republicans 78, Conservatives 40, and ' Independents 39; wlv\l6 vote, 157, with 1 a majority of one lor the Conservatives < and Independents. From this estimate < it will b? seen that the Conservatives | have gained at least ten members in the ( Lower House, whilst they have but one i in the Senate. A gratifying result of 1 the canvass is the fact that Charleston ' has now a delegation which directly ' represents her wealth, trade and commerce. " ; The Union-Herald makfs the follow-1 1 ing estimate, which presents very difter-i 1 ent results: * "The best calculation we can reach puts the House at thirty-three straight- ' out Democrats, and seventeen Iude pendent Republicans, making fifty op- | position. If the Charleston delegation ( Works with the Democrats, they will foot up a body of forty-five votes solid in the lower Hbu&e. lit the Senate there i Will be about fourteen Of the opposition,' , within three votes or a majority, xuai is, the regular republicans will have a joiht'ballot of twenty-nine. The Hekald's Hoax,?The New York Jferald got up ?. sensation story of seven columns last week, giving a detailed account of the escape of the wild beasts from the Central park menagerie,;" with full lists of the killed and wound- j ed." Everybody was hoaxed, and we among the number, until a glance at the , concluding paragraph told yi3 tha^t it was ail a fabrication. It was in New York, principally, that the hoax proved a sue cess. There the news-boys criea me "awful'news fr??m Central Park." The people bought tJbfi j?ap>er, read only the head lines, and went wild M'ith terror. Especially was this the case with those whose children or other r^J^ttyes hadi gone to the One lady declared that she paid a hack driver $25 to take her home in twenty minutes, that she, might be assured of the safety of her darlings. Others rushed frantically to their houses and barred the doors and, windows in order tft keep out the rhuoceros, the African lion ^nd the ^op-con-, stridor, ' ' | When They Take Seats. ? Tiiere I seems to be an Impression among many ; persons that the members of the next j Congress, elected on Tuesday last, will jtake their seats in Deoember next. This, of course, is an error. The term of the present Congress does not expire until the 4th of March next; consequently, unless an extra session of Congress is called by Grant at the close of the present Congress, the new members chosen on Tuesday will not enter upon their legislative duties until the first Monday lu December, 1875.

Patronize the Hove Market.?We sommend to theaftention of ciur readers the following advice of the Unionvilte Times, and urge its adoption. The Abbeville market is unsurpassed, both in its buying and selling rates, and offers jreat inducements. The Times says: "The prices offered here for the staple ire as good as at any place north of C^r lumbia, for cash. The weights returded ire fully up to the mark ; and the grojeries offered of the greatest variety, tery best quality, and cheap as it is poslible to sell them. .Let every one, then, x>me to the market at his own door.

The Express Company ofjrs a combination of advantages in rhich it defies competition, and the reuocd rates show that it is sparing no fforts to increase its business. Wecomuend it to the patronage of our friends. Negro Riairrs. ? The 1Vcw York Vorld, the able and authorized expoent of the principles of the Democratic arty, annouu^es that negro riglits, as esults of the war, have been firmly xed and establiahed by the amendments of the Federal Constitution?that tis too late now to make war upon hese amendments, which could only be one by provokiug an agitation which t would be foolish to arouse; and that I o attempt to deprive the negro of the ight of suffrage would be a suicidal olicy of which the Democratic party s not silly enough to be capable. # Professional Cakd. ? In another olumn appears the professional card of Dr. J. W. W. Marshall, who has enoyed a high reputation in our commulity a3 an experienced and skillful physician. After an intermission of tome years, the Doctor again resumes lis profession, and we are sure that his >ld friends and patrons will be glad to ivali themselves of his services. A jaractlceof fifteen years Ms given him i strong claim upon their patronage. 3ur best wishes go with him. The Trite Spirit. ? The Kcowee Courier, before the results of the recent election were known, thus announced ;he principles which would control its >wn course, aud which will doubtless ind an ccho iu the public press generally : ** * JL It f J "Auo now mac me campaign i? uvur, whether the result prove that Greene or Chamberlain is tho fortunate Governor if South Carolina?we propose to sustain the administration of either, as fully is their respective merits warrant. In the futuip Government of South Carolina, we will fcnow only the Goveruorin lud through his administration, and we will as heartily support the government jfMr. Chamberlain, if elected, as that af Judge G'rep/i.e, prpvided the pledges >f reform made tlie latter oe sustained, and his administration be prudent and economical. It is Hot a contest with us Jfor us for or #gftinst a man, but fqr a good goyejrpmant. Whoever offers this to our people will receive approval and endocsement." Tampering with the Ballot.? Our Commissioners of Election on Saturday la?t discovered that two of the election boxes had been tampered with. A.t Warrenton some fifty-nine batata had been abstracted, and at Riley's, *ome thirty-five or forty ballots had been taken outand more put back than was taken' out. The fraudulcjif tickets can be easily divided from the others, as the fraudulent tickets are all clean and neatly folded, showing$e#.rly that the .'yjitlzeus" had never fingered them. "\Ve find in our exchanges the following summing up of the places in the gift of the next House of Representatives: General clerkships 24; librarians of the House 3; document rooms 8; Sergeant-at-arms' offloe 4; door-keepera 23; ifouse post office 10; committee clerkships 29; official reporters 5?total 106.
