From Europe Tho billigorcnts are making ready for fu. lure operations. There is much talk of an i armistice for the purpose of holding elections in Franco. If au armistice is agreed upon, , poaco is probable. The State Election Thc Commissioners of elections arc count ing the vote, but thc result will be announced too late for this paper. Tho majority for Ho form in this County is between 200 and 300 votes. In Dickens, thc result is about the samo. The Charleston News says : Thc Reform party elect members of the lower House in Audcrsbh 3, Chesterfield 2, HOT ry 2, Lancaster 2, Lexington 2, Marion ' 4, Oconeo 2, Pickcns 1, Spartanburg, 4, York 4, Greenville 4, and Union 3, making 38 in all. Resides these, Marlboro, 2 atid Edgcfield 7, arc confidcutly claimed by the Reformers. This would give us 42 Reform ers-more than onc~third-to 82 Scott lladi oals. Wc undoubtedly have elected Senators in (lorry, Uni >n, Chesterfield, Anderson, Dickens and Luncastcr-G Senators. There aro two Conservative long fenn Senators, Messrs. Biomann, of Ocoucc, and Fostor, of Spartanburg, who may bc counted with thc Reformers. Marlboro, is pretty certain, and, in Charleston, Mr. Bates is believed to bc oleotcd. Taking tho benefit of tho doubt, wo lihve 10 Reform Senators out of 32. Split tickets and local combinations may chango the rc3ult in some decree, but wc do not fear that thc Reformers will have less than 10 votes in thc Scnato and 42 in the House. The Elections in tho North- . Returns of tho elections in Ohio, Indiana i and Pennsylvania show decided gains by the i D?mocratie party. This is cheering news to all friends of good government, and wo trust is tho entering wedgo to break up tho nest of politico! jobbers and corrupt demagogues, who Jiavn made the halls of Congress the theatre .for potty sohemes of personal and party ag grandizement, to tho neglect of the national welfare. It is thc voico of tho people speak ing their condemnation of selfishness and cor ruption as opposed to national houor and do vol op i ii ont. From the New York Herald wo learn that thc representation of these States in the pris ent Congress is as follows : Ohio fourteen Re publicans and fivo Domocrats, and in tho next Congress it will bo twelve Republicans and seven Democrats, being a gain of two Repre sentatives for the Democrats. In Pennsylva nia, tho present House bas eighteen Republi cans and six Democrats, and in tho next Houso the Republicans will have ten and tho Democrats fourton members. In Indiana, tho present House stands seven Republicans ? to four Democrats, and ino noxt Houso will havo four Republicans to seven Pemoorats ; all making n d.iflerenco in thc balance qf tho two parties in tho next Congress of twenty six votes. Indiana also has a mpjority for tho Democrats in tho General Assembly on joint ballot. These suocesses arp tho moro significant, 'when we oonsidor thoy havo been obtained notwithstanding tho vote of tho recently en franchised negroes in thone States, who al most Unanimously voted tho Republionn ticket, ?f* tho November elections prove equally fa vorable to tho Demoorats, wo may seo a Dem ocratlo majority in tho next Congress. Whon tho dceay of a great political party begins, it generally originates tn corruption hod the abuso of tho powers vested in it, and Heidorn stops short of total defeat; The loss ??f '^bWor "ny the Domooratio party was not duo to this so much as to the dissemination of abolition doctrines among tho people, and now that this question Was1 terminated in the overthrow of slavery, wo hopo to soo that party, which no long controlled the nation to its honor and interests, re established in power. Then, we may hopo for a reduction of duties and taxes, retrench mont in officials and expenditures, and a .return to na tiona 1 yrosporily. T^mr^L L. IL. 1.1..'. '!!^!^^TTf^i^,2L. _ 'J i .Jlj JJ. .iU Ll. L* l'J? Let Us Have Feaoe. Tho Charleston Rupublican, iu an articlo uudor tho abovo caption, expresses tho hopo that the press of tho State will drop the weap ons of crimination aud recrimination, and turn its attention to the promoting of good feeling, abd stimulating the pooplo to new efforts in iudustry and Enterprise', RB tho surest path way to geucrul prosperity. Tho ltadiculs havo wou, "not by tho leadors of tho party, but by tho broad and just principles of Re publicanism." Wo aro not sure tho radicals have triumphed. Wo believe Scott is re-elec ted, but there is a fair prospect for tho elec tion of Butler and a majority of tho Houso of Rcpiescntativcs by the Reformers. At any roto tho Itcform minority will bo so lurgo that, with a few conservativo radicals, wo hopo to secure moro prudenco and economy in future legislation. Nor is tho victory, if won by the radicals, a triumph of broad and just principles. It is the victory of thc igno rant und non tuxpayiug 'otcr over tho intelli gence and property of thc country. It is thc reversal of every idea of good government, aud finds no parallel except in tho dccliuing d??ys of corrupt republics. That intelligence and virtuo oro.the muin pillursof free govern ment, and that thc majority of tho radical party pretend to neither ono of theso, all must admit. How then is that Republican, which possesses not tho wisdom to discern tho true interests of tho community, nor thc virtue to strive to pursuo that interest, is yet unrestrained by property or other motive in tho exercise of power. The number of thc Radical mnjority io the Stato is far less than tho number of those who havo never puid one cent towards thc Bxponsej of the government, not even their poll tax, than the number who ore ignorant of tho character, interests and object of the government, and who havo becu controlled by nppcals to their sovcrul appetites and missions. One of our citizens, riding home from Wal halla on tho evening of thc election, held this conversation with an old negro : For whom did you vote? Negro.-I voted for Gineroi Grant. Citizen.-Who else did you vote for? Negro.-I only voted one ticket for Gineroi Grant. Several others were asked similar questions, and they did not know for whom they voted, nor whether the ticket was i? blue or black ink, but remembered it had a "purty" bird at tko top. Such are thc voters who have given a radical triumph. With all this we accept thc proposition of tho Repub lican s to promote peace, ns wisc and proper Good order and good feeling arc tho greatest stimulants to energy and industry. Confusion distracts every avocation and prevents thc influx of labor and capital. It decreases the value of property and the plant ing and harvesting interests. We do think, however, that a quietus to thc present excite ment will be best attained, if thc ruling pow ers will remember that there isa large minor ity in tho State, whoso interests should not be forgotten. That Governor SCOTT, if elco ted, should bo controlled in his appointments by a proper regard for qualification in his .ippointccsj that undoubled bonds should be required by law of all officers who handle the ?State or county funds j that thc people should have their constitutional right of clcct'ng jus tices of thc peace in the various counticn ; that thc existing laws should be so modified in thc matter of suits and fees in thc courts of the State, as to be less oppressive to ull class es; thu? three-fourths of ibo present salaried jlliccs should bc abolished, and that a system of retrenchment and rigid economy should be adopted. Then tho people, seeing the gov ernment careful of their interests, would give it a fair, if not cheerful support. Taxes in Virginia-Why Don't the Ne groes "Pony Up?" Thc Norfork (Virginia) Journal publishes what it terms "A Sud Exhibit," showing tho in Prince Edward county twelve hundred no [?roes have been returned by the Sheriff as de linquents for tho payment of their taxes ; in other words, two thirds of thc African raco contributo nothing to thc support of thc ex penses of the State and county in which they live. It is inferred from this that tho samo is thc fact in most of thc other counties in Virginia, if not in all. The Journal, from which we quote, remarks : Few of thc negroes own land or nny pro perty assessed for toxation, the only taxes which they are required to pay being tho poll tax, and wo seo that thoy cannot pay this, 01 will not. In 1868 tho negroes paid but fort) thousand dollars into the Slate Treasury, 01 about ten cents a head, and wo very tnucli doubt if they pay a larger average tiow, if st great a sum. The question now arises, Arc thc enfran chined negroes in Virginia required to pay i higher tax under tho State laws than tin whites? and especially is a poll tax demand cd of them which is not exuded from tin whito population ? Under tho Fifteenth con stitutional amendment it is provided that n< State bas a right to tax any class of citizen beyond that of another on account of "sect color or previous condition of scrvitudo." Tboroforo, if the blacks of Virginia have bcci taxed no heavier for tho purpose of sceurin to them tho electivo frauohiso under the Stat law than tho whites have been, and tho black rcfuso to pay that tax, thoy aro clearly outsid of tho Una of the low and tho onnstition, an oro no moro ontitled to a vote than paupm .'without visible means of support," or Stat prison convicts who csoopo from durance vii without fulfilment of sentence or exocutiv pardon. The abovo extract from tho New Yor Herald might bo applied with double meal lng to-South Caiolino. A largo pr^portir of tho negroes hero not only pny no taxe but havo entire control of tho govorntnoi through a fow unprincipled leadors. Tin possess neither common sense nor intitligeni to understand thoir own or tho country's i tcrost. Renton oannot control thom, becau (hoy oannot comprehend arguments.
