'Mr. Greeley on the Late Elections. From thc Cincinnati Commercial. Mr.. Greeley's views on the October elections have been freely expressed to those who have questioned him since his return from Baltimore. To a Herald re porter he said : " Our people are not like ly to get frightened by the October re sults. Wo intend to do our best to the end. I think we can surely count one hundred and twenty-eight electoral votes in the South, and 1 think che North will give us thc rest.

To a World reporter Mr. Greeley re marked, that he saw no reason for any 'l'->poiX'-!:<'V. and- was as firm as ever in his o'fHiff that the Liberals?would triumph in November.

The Charleston New*, of Monday, says: It is no^PW^'OJfi.T9^1??'? ^^ some accuracy the Conservative losses and gains at the late State election. The con teat was one In which the Conservatives tookt?ardly any part, but they have a deep interest in the result. - In the matter of C on ? T es s m? n the State stands wheae she did before. All her representatives in the Federal council are . Radicals, -and four of the five are colored men. The attempt to elect a Democrat ia the Fourth District has ap parently failed, by reason of the supine ness of the Conservatives. There was., a ?white majority-in the district, and Gov ernor Perry could easily have been elect ed. In the State Legislature tho Con servatives make some gains. And.thore is ah improvement in the mental calibr? of the Conservatives who are chosen. They will not be mere lay-figures at tho capitol. ' Both amendments to the State Constitution are adopted hy a nearly unanimous vote. One of them changes the day of hording the State election, so that, every four years, both the State-and Presidential electron will take place on the same day. The other amendment prohibits any addition to the State debt, without the approval of a two? thirds vote of thc people at a general election. This is a stop in tho.right direction: f? The great Conservative gain, however, is the defeat of the crew of adventurers who, with smiles on their lips and hate in their heart?, endeavored to obtain con trol of the Stato Government. Thej- wat lowed.in the mire of thc Legislative sta bles as long os they wera alloyed tore main there. When they were kicked nut 6y the native Radicals, they raised tho cry that they were thc men to bi ing about reform, because they had shared in the plunder and kn?w where to find the keys of thc treasury. No, thank you ? They told tho Conservatives' that no Conserva tive should hold ofBce nuder the "set-a thief-to-catch-a-thief " regime. They had the insolence to say to the white Citi zens of South Carolina : " Vote for us, all of you, ancf elect us ; and, ff you do, you shall have no more power than you have now. If you don't vote at all, or db vote for candidates ol'your own, all Che bl?m? ot what Moses muy do shall rest ?pon you and yours." They tried tu lash tho whites into supporting them. And they have failed ; failed utterly and ignominiously. It is al>oitt tinto that their Paces .were turned "to lunn." And there is another point ol' note. Not single disturbance, big or Utile, took plaec on election day. And all reports agree iii saying that thc blacks displayed more independence than ever before that they are, more generally, thinking for themselves. This is due, mark you ! io Uio wisdom ol' the Conservatives in refraining from a party contest. Thc New Railroad President.. The Columbia Phoenix of :he Kith, pays the. following tribute to Col.
