* TALK/sq or. disputing 1?HVaIR!IKM op OAR#f W^TBRWeteYKftlay fiighP Tlierc ia something important going on Among tiio Democratic leaders jvhicb promises to create ascnuation. TboState executive committee profeaW to bo cognixant of illegal voting In Ihfs city ami Itronklyn to an extent whirls, iliey uliirin, will invalidate the electoral vole for tien tlnrHeld mid give tlic Kioto to Ins opponent, but tbey wilt furuisb no details at present, except , to call attention to somo extraordinary Kcpnblioau results 'it particular districts. In due time, tbey say, it will all be made apparent.? Your correspondent heard some intimations of mis kind nt headquarters on (ho morning afler tlie election, but did not attach sufficient itupor lance to them to give them publicity. The action of the executive committee in announcing through the morning journals that in certain . localities "a vote has been cast largely in excess of the legal vole," nutl that "the unaccountable increase in the Republican vote in Ne-v York \ . ' and Kings Counties ja plain cviilence of fraud," . * 4 shows that in thlir judgment nt least there is something behind those intonations. What it all means wc shall soon- see. Meanwhile you will observe the committee "request ail citizens of this State, in each and every locality, who favwRho right of the>pcople to popular government, Cdd w o b<dicvo a very .fair voto and an * '* hqnest coutijbpssc&tial to^p-porpi'tuatlon Of our ! ^ InstituJfons.To'aid b/ all rnoahs in?,||i*lr power * . thu ascertainment of this result." The city Kepuldicaii journals do uot affect ignorance as to what this proceeding uxcuns, and they raise a warning accordingly. The Tribunt says : "Mr. llarautn will do well to stop right where he is. The business public are in nut,mood to tolerate seditions fooling. No human hcing in New York doubts that the Statu has honestly and irrevocably gone Republican." The Timet, evou more poinieuiy remarks : " l ite ltcpublican electors have a majority in the State ot at least 28,000, ami in all the Democratic arsenal of trickery and fraud there is no method by which the Republican party can be cheated out of the fruits of victory. The Democratic I'engross which refuses to couut the vote of New York for Garfield and Ar bur will inaugurate revolution." Per contra, Truth, which seems to be the organ of the Democratic Kxccutivo Committee for the time being, declares that "Hancock is elected," and closes with the following highly wrought appeal : "Let us not again submit as we submitted in 1870. This fraud of 18K) is the greatest of all. Wo call on every Democrat in the land to help, by voice and action, in the overthrow of this terrible wrong, and sec to it that Gen. Winticld 8. Hancock is uext .March seated iu the chair to which lie has been honestly and rightfully elected." John Kelly's evening organ, The Express, has the following, with the closing sentence in italics : "Facts are coming rapidly to light which go to prove that the Republican success is due to a wholesale and corrupt use of money, to a systematic colonization of illegal voters, and to an unscrupulous use of machinery for interfering with the elections under the pretcuco of supervising them. These three points demand immediate and thorough investigation. If the. Republican Managers have perpelrate.il systematic awl gigantic frauds oi the ballot-box in this and ether States, and the facts can be. proved, they must take the consequences of their acts." Outside of party lines people hardly know what to make of all this. They are rather dual; founded. If there is anything more thau another upon which the community havebccncongratulating themselves since Tuesday, it is the fact of our escape from another contested election, und it is fervently to be hoped now that nothing will huppou to Drove that these comrra tulntious were prematura. The Republican leaders contemplate the movement with derision. In Wall street it was the subject of more or less . remark, but it bad no direct iuUuciicc oa tlu*# .markets. / |IHI lot Tits $umu South Nrkd Not Mhi.t.?Mont- '? >' gomory, Ala., November 6.?The Montgomery mn Advertiser says : Lawlessness - and oppression, the profligacy and plunder of the Rcpubli an De parly compelled the solhHly of the South. To that solidity more that ever before she must _fl remain steadfast and immovable. Under our beuigu home rule our pe.? le have prospered ton degree that has astounded our friends and con- las fused our enemies. There need not be, and will dr not be any "let up" in the wonderful progress ro, of the South under the new regime, whatever it may be, which the Republican party seek to inaugurate. It cannot materially utfeel the Hit South. It will, iutlee I, prove a blessing to the a \ extent that it will induce greater self-reliance, sa: greater energy and wiser efforts in developing the wonderful wealth and unlimited resources -pjj which a kind Providence has bestowed upon < the Sunny South. The sun will still shiuc, gentle showers will fall, seed time and harvest 8ei will still bring their blessings, and our great sta- 'hi pie must continue to be a power in the couuuer- of cial world, while our coal and iron and other j, minerals will yield wealth of which the world docs not dream. Let the Solid South, solid ul-- 188 ways for home rule and honest government, now tal give its greatest vigilance and wisest counsels, fi-c not to Natioual politics or to tlio conflicts uud jjf passions of National parties, hut to building up and advancing our educational, moral and matcrial interests. Herein tlie South is and must Th continue to be "solid," solid as Iter glorious wa mountains nnd strong and increasing as the flow of her own broad and beautiful streams. It may Th be that Garfield will prove very different from < what his past record indicates. As the first officer of our great Republic, with the rcsponsibil- "c ity of the government of fifty million of people '1" pressing upon him, lie may possibly prove a tin wise and beneficent ruler. ,i ( Dir.n at tiik Post or Pi ty.?Samuel Mc- a" Manns, a respectable old colored man aged about of sixty years, a life-long Democrat, die 1 suddenly be: ou his way to the polls on Tuesday last; in Flat t|1( Creek township, lie had been sick f.r two or three weeks, and was not able to wulk to the polls.

The election "hinged upon two cardinal points: The North feared the solid South, aud tho t olid South feared the Republican party ; and the North had the numbers, the money aud the elcclioD'inachiucry on us, so it won. It was very evident that much of the sectional hatred and prejudice against the South had died out among the masses of the Northern people. This was plainly seen by the Northern Republican leaders aud they trembled for themselves and their party. Not a man among the manu> gers aud leaders of that party was able to stein the tide of public iceling that was setting in against them, aud as a last resort, aud rcluc-rantly, wc think, they called upon Grant to step forward and save-to tlicta the State of New York. Added to this was a debased floating population in each of ihe cities of New York, I'hiladelphia, Washington aud other lurgcr places within a few hours ride of each. This floating popula lion is always for sale ami was kept oscilatiug, for registration and voting purposes, frotn ward to ward in New York City and from city to city without any apparent change tu the population of. either.' lu this way, we arc told, the increase of 83,831 in the registration gave an incrcaso of 43 at only 8 per cent in the democratic vote. ^ ' But it is no use speculating upon the cause ^u| * our defeat. Garfield will he our next Presi- .\t snt and the South cannot prevent it. The ka tuth must acriuiesce in ihe election and with sto o.hest grace possible. At present it is a waste qjr words to tlieori/x; upon what course it will be ist for the South to pursue \Vith regard to Najnul politics. That will depend entirely upon tw the Cpirfield administration treats the South, oul (far as State politics are''concerned, there'can the : no wavering in the democratic ranks.

J. a States, is, will they have intelligent, honest id decent Stale governments or surrender the j'1 Immigration of tlieir home affairs into the ^ mils of ignorant, venal and prrtligate negroes J. ho, in turn will bo controlled by impecunious, irrupt and thieving scallawags and carpetbag ;rs?
