Tuosiay Morning, November 17,1874. Republican gatUfoctlon With the Elections. Tno Nation expfeaso) ita satisfaction with the result of tho elections. It has a tear to shed for the defeat of Qen. Dix, who was overwhelmed, it thinks, by other people's sinB. It en? treats tbe Demooratio ohtefs to speak of bim more reepeotfatly. It seks ?the Democrats in Missouri to retain Curl Sohnrz in the Senate, and de? plores the defeat of W. W. Pbelps, of New Jersey, for a seat in Congress. . He has shown tftlent and accomplished much, and was beaten only because of his plucky and self-respecting course .in voting against the Otvil Bights Bill. This lost him the 600 negro votes in his County. It numbers among the compensations for this and other 'mis? fortunes, the election of Gen. Kerahaw in South Carolina. Would that it were aoi la another class of compensations it reckons tbe defeat of Butler, Aycr, ?Goooh and Williams in Massachusetts, the imperilling of Senators Chandler and Carpenter, and tho overthrow of Senators Morton, Logan, Tipton, Gil? bert and Browniow. The defeat of Butler, tho beast, has, porbups, caused moro rejoicing even among Republi oano, not in Massachusetts only, but amoug decent men everywhere, that all others combined. Ho can now see his hideous likeness reflected back npon him in tho general iudiguutiuu ut hin oareer, and the solid satisfaction universally felt that it is terminated ut last. The Nation gives his history iu brief. Tbe Republican party fouud him at middlo age a disreputable ori? ginal lawyer. Deserting from his own ranks to theirs, they olothed bim iu uniform, dabbed him "General," and were weak and passionate enough to suppose his exploits at New Orleans, in holding a conquered oity with a stern tyrannical hand, under the guns of a powerful fleet and in command of u large.-garrison, to which were added insults and jeering, worthy of com? mendation. VAfter four years of ridi onions masquerading as a soldier, -ii? came home, and they then dressed him up in black broad? cloth, and gave out that he was a -statesman' and sent him to Washing? ton as an important aid in reconstruc? tive legislation, whore he almost im - mediately made himself conspicuous ?.s the champion of a scbome for de? frauding the public creditor. He then turned philanthropist, and tbero was nothing more ludicrous during tbu seven years following the war tbuu to see him weeping with the Massachu? setts Ridio*ls over the wrongs of the colored man." The villain may rumi? nate now in his retirement upon tbo truth of tho adage, that curses and in oi\ifo come Lv-ick to vex those from whom tbey cm mate, and that hypo? crisy is only capable ol temporary tri? umphs. With a Quo irony tbe Nation raises the sobering question, whether tbe election of a Democratic majority in .he House of Representatives und tbe defeat of the "Beast," does nob con? stitute u violation of tho Enforcement Ac!; or, iu other words, a conspiracy to deprive* the colored voter of "tbe equal protection of tho laws?" It certainly looks very like it. The "ruling sentiment" in a majority of the Northern States may now bo fairly considered likely to discourage tbu black man from voting tbo Republican ticket. Does not this call for Mr. Williams' interference? Ought ho not to send troops into Massachusetts? Certainly; there is us much reasou for issuing warrants iu the Essex District (Butler's) as there was in South Caro? lina; just as mach need of troops there now as there was hero at tho time, of tho famous fox hunt on the Congaroe. Let Landaulet Williams look North now for outrages. The season for thorn is over in the Soulh. A Lenon far KadlcaU. .'Frank Leslie?* Weekly has an in? structive article npon "how a groat party dies." It traces the origin of the Renublio&n party; buows how for years it has been only a shell, and kept in power only by the faults, blunders or misfortunes of its great adversary. People have voted its nominations), ignored its viaos, borne its insolence, only because the current of passionate prejudice in the North ran strongly ' against the Demooratio party. Now Radicalism is doomed. It approaches dissolution. Tho process of disinte? gration has begun. The prejudice apon which it subsisted basoommeuoed to wear awoy. The questions of tbe war are regarded as settled. "The fidelity of the greater part of the North to its substantial obligations towards the reconstructed Union has come to be generally accepted. Other feelings than that of suspicion have been aroused towards the Southern people. Sympathy, pity, and a generous admi? ration fur some of their traits under their severe triale, have entered into ?e Northern heart. The one powerful A ivo that induced a large portion of the .North to bear with tho many faults of the Republican leaders has been re? moved, uud on Tuesday, November 3, probably 250,000 votors quietly loft its ranks, and, for tho time being, ranged themselves under the banner of their lato opponents! Here is a lesson for tho so-called Republicans in tho South? ern States, iu tho feelings attributed to the Northern Republicans. Radical bitterness and insolence towards the peoplo here were modelled upon the sumo feelings in their confreres North. They only upod their betters. Let tbem follow and imitate them, also, in their repentance, and in the observ? ance of a 'more respectful and decent tone of comment upon those whom Providenco, for somo mysterious und inexplicable reason, has allowed tin m, under the protection of the Govern? ment and of a pervertod publio Nort h? ern opinion, to traduce and insult. -.-? Effects of False Teachinh.?No? thing could more pointedly illustrate tho falsity of the Radical carpet-bag system of political ethics in the South than tho news whi'jh comes from Montgomery, Ala., that uiauy of the negroes there have been going about selecting now musters, under the im? pression thut, as a cons queued of the late Democratic victories, they uro to be again forced iuto slavery. No doubt many of the poor creaturee, whoso sim? plicity has mada them tho ready tools of unscrupulous politicul pretoudern, not only believed the story that bud been breathed into their credulous ears before tbe election, bn were really willing rather to surrender their liberty to respectable men whom i bey could trust, than subject themselves again to the mastery of the treuckerons und worthless demagogues of n party. The white people, we are told, iu vain endeavor to re-assure them. They will soon learn, however, that they uro not only not going back into slavery, but be enabled to enjoy a greater freedom, aud get more to eat, drink, wear and spend than they ever did or would get from Radical oarpot-baggers uud scala? wag-?. Tbe Semi- Weekly Union 6ttys that "there is just as muoh corruptiou in the Republican party in Now York, or Massachusetts, or Ohio, us there is here." We wero not aware before how bad things uru iu that party iu tho North. It is no wonder, then, that it ?_u-i- -.11- i_??'_ ;,, ,1... u,.. ,.... unn u :ni ou uuuijr uuixuii ... LIIO SkUiCK named. But may not tho Union, with all its admitted authority upon such u point us corruption, bo mistaken? Besides, if tho statement be true, does the Union think that it relieves its party rottenness in this State? It is an awkward complimeut it pays both to its party hero and parly conquerors elsewhere. ?? -?-??-?-. Tho Union, of this city, evidently regards itself us iu a strange land. It finds fault with the claim advanced in behalf of Fernando Wood, of New York, for tho next Speakorshi,'. that "be is a tried and ever faithful irieud of the Southern people." That is a futa! objection to him with tho Union. -*-???-? Death of an Iki.su Patriot and Author ?Thomas W. McMahou, a native of County Gal way, Ireland, one of tho patriots of the rebellion of '17 and 'IS, died iu Richmond, Ya., Sun? day, aged forty. Ho was a graduate of Mayuooth College, aud loft Ireland on account of his connection with politi? cal uQ'airs. When be first came to this country be proceeded to Bing hamton, N. Y., und was au associate law student with ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia. He was next known as private secrotary of Mayor Wood, of New York. Subsequently he wus deputy naval officer of tho port of Now York, undor Buchanan's administra? tion, and at the same time was oue of tbo editors of the New York News, At the breaking out of the late civil war be went South, and for a time was u correspondent oi the New York Herald. He became a contributor of tbe South? ern press, and was the author of "Cause and Contrast," a political and historical work on the South. His literary and scholarly attainments en? abled him to receive notice and atten? tion, and his sympathy with tho cause of tho South, and his intimacy with tbe distinguished John Mitchel, made him for a time a sharer of thut gen tlomau's popularity. Unhappily be contracted an inBatiablo habit for strong drink, whioh curried him to tho verge of rain. Like many other men of brilliant intellect, he wasted tho prime of his life in excesses, and died in most distressing poverty. His re? markable reticence hs to himself and history made him a mystery to all. He had no family. Ho was buried at Bishop's Cemetery, R:chmond, Mon day. peculiarities of the colobed Poli tigian.?A special oorreepondent of tbe Korr York Tribune, writing from New Orleans, throws some light on the poli? tical characteristics of the negroes, and on the fceliog of the Southern whites toward the blaoks. His experience seemB to havo been confined to Louisi? ana, but bis observations on the feel? ing of tbo whites in tbat State towards the colored might probably be ex? tended to the whole of the South. The writor remarks that the whites speak uniformly with kiuduoss und friendliness of the blacks, but, as uuy one acquainted with the usual charac? teristics of tho negro ruco might ex? pect, they add tbat tbo poor blacks buvo been misled; that, considering their igoorauoe, it was impsssible tin y should not have been misled; that their political associations have had a bad influence upon them; that they have uo self-control uud no independence. They do not accuse the negro of malice or of innate depravity of uature. Their mistakes are attributed mainly to ig? norance aud misplaced couQdcuee, Tho obstacles iu the way of tbo self assertion of the negro arc greater than any one uot acquainted with I be condi? tion of Southern politics cau have any idea of. Oath-bound leagues exist for tho sole purpose of preventing Ibeir desertion of tho Republican party. They are led to believe that their free? dom depends on the Mipreuaucy of the Republican party iu the politics of the uouutry. Not tho negroes-, but the white uieu who have misled them me objects of tho Southern white man's wralb. The church in tho South is a powerful uuxiliury of tho league iu the interests of the Republican party, rhu rural negro minister makes u strange mixture of the cause of Christ und of the Republican party. He can? not always separate tbe one from the other. Says the correspondent of the Tribune: "Political announcements are made at religious gatherings, and religions announcements at political gatherings. Election tickets are sometimes distri? buted by the very oflicers now who circulate tho buskets to receive contri? butions for tbe support of the church aud the pastor. In some churches prayers are offered for the success of the Republican party with almost us must regularity as prayers for the con? version of the world, lo tin excitiug campaign the poople aro warned, uu der fearful penalties, ugaiust political apostacy; tbe sermon becomes u politi? cal harangue, aud party fellowship is openly made a prerequisite for fellow? ship iu the church. Iu tho campaign of 1872 a very intelligent 'head man' on a sugar plantation, which I visited tho other day, realizing the obligations of hia race to Mr. Qreeley, informed his employers that bo iuteuded to vote tbo Oreeley ticket. As the man was truthful, his employer did uot doubt his sincerity, but, knowing the diUlenUies iu the way, watched with interest to see if bo would carry out his honest intention. Ou the day of tbe election tbe negro came to him iu evi? dent trouble. 'Mass'-,' said he, 'I told you I was gwiuc vote for Qreeley, and if you keep mo to de promise I'll do it, sbuuh. Rut it's hard work, sah I Hard w irk, Kbuubl' Being pressed to au explanation, he finally stated thut there bad been u big meeting at the neighboring church on the day before, and that brother Simon, the preacher, had openly threatened to excommuni cute uny mau Votiug against, tho Re? publican ticket. Ho was released from bis promise, went with the crowd to : tho polls uud voted with the crowd, and it is hardly possible thut ho will ever bo free ftotn the shackles forged by tbu patty and fastened ou by the .,!..,...I. CO >i 1 uu. The Republican apostate is said to be ostracised, also, by negro society, deserted by his former compauioiip, nud treated like a traitor. Even his wife has been known to abandon him because she would not live in a bouse with a "nigger Democrat." There can be but little hope of tho political regeneration of the Southern States, iu which tho colored element is pre dominant, uuless the blacks, liko tbe whites, desire to establish their politi? cal organizations without reference to color. As a contemporary sensibly suggests, it may be that uuder o dif? ferent regime from that of radicalism they will develop political capacity of which the symptoms buvo not yet ap? peared. - Newbpai'JP Rumoks is New Yoi:k. A recout New York despatch to the Boston Journal says: "There aro ru? mors that a prominent morning jour? nal was sold this week for 8100,000 to a number of wealthy Hebrews, who have ldng been desirous of owning a paper to represent their interests. It is said the journal will uot undergo uny outward or editorial change tor sotno mouths; and that it will uot ap? pear to bo iu special sympathy with tho Hebrew., beyond doing them jus? tice. The reason for soiling the paper is asserted to be its steady and heavy loss for two years past, aud the need of money on tho part of its principal proprietor.

Through this quarter, also, have come many of hin I supplies, und it is this which bus given I rise to the pending controversy be? tween the Madrid and French Govern? ment--. The French ullirai tint the charges of a breach of neutrality are uol sustained, because wheu un official t IFort is made to giin information, th" Carlists dance over iuto Spauisb ter? ritory, leaving no sign of their block? ade running, and skip back again when the investigation is euded. Some arrests of Carlists have, beeu mude, however, ou French territory, hut no important results have arisen theretiom. Yet it is expected that u more vigorous t flort on the part of Franco will etTectually e.-dop the Car lists from their ucJU-totued resort to French territory, while the naval movements of the Spuuish Republi? cans upon tho sea coast of Northern Spain will substantially suppress the blockade ruuuing in that quarter. This done, all that tiie Carlists can do will be to curry ou a eort of banditti warfare from aud among tho moun? tains, until exterminated or reiuvigo rated bv the periodic Spanish revolu? tion.

The managers of St. Jobu's Guild, Now York, say that at least 70,000 mou and women uro out of employment in New York oity, und that whole families are without the necessaries of life. Hundreds gather at the guild doors daily, clamoring for food, aud tho treasury of tho guild, even to its re? serve fund, is exhausted. Therefore, the guild's volunteers appeal to those who have food, clothing and money to give. Tho Carlist insurrection is to all ap? pearances nearly over. But the Bis oayans uro an uucertaiu people. Ono day they will desorl, tho bands dis? perse, tho authority of the chiefs bo defied, aud the next they rally again aud tight more desperately than ever. The end of tbo war in Spain is not so certain yet. The Beabino of tub South.?Tbe | New York Nation, albeit the beat news? paper representative of the ability aud conservatism of Republicanism in this country, expressed its extreme ood oern, daring the late election, as to the probable conduot of tbe Southern De Socraoy in tbe event of the defeat of en. Dix. Tbe New York World says tbe Nation spoke in earnest, snd says it bus no doubt tbat tbereare hundreds ! if not thousands of respectably edu ! catud men iu tbe Northern Suites who havo gradually brought themselves during the last unhappy decade of our history to think of tho people of the Southern States very much as tory Englishmen habitually think of the people of ireluud, or us tbu Austrian conservatives used to think of tbo Lombarde- Venetians in the daik days of that domination ovor Duly which Austria uccopttd to her own torment uud to the discomfort of all Europe ut the bunds of the allies of 1815. The World conceives tbat most of those doubters concerning tho South are for tho m >st pint people whose experience of public affairs dut< s no further buck than tbe outbreuk of the lute civil war. I To us it i.i nimmt inconceivable that iu this age of hteain aud telegraph, iutel I ligent men in one section of the same ' country should be completely befogged as to tbu spirit aud character of the people of uuother section. Although .-.ui.j eted since tho close of the war to a vtXitio'.ls uud irrational tyranny, which bus disturbed their peucu, me? naced their lives uud euteu out their substance, the great mass of the S >nth eru people have, remained quiet under these inflictionf, und it may wed be doubted whether eveu tbu violeut und lawless oleiueuts, which tiru found in the South, us in ull communities, have uoiuaiittcd a. many outrages biuue the ' war upon property und life, iu propor? tion to population, us huvebnuu perpe? trated. i:i the same period in the North era States. The World juitly remarks that the internal history of tue Con federated States during tbe period of the civil war, of which, unfortunately, little more is re illy known at tbe North to day than of tho internal history of Japan during tbe same per'od, bore the most striking witness to tho essen? tially law-abiding character und the fundamental common sense of the Southern people. Public order, the rights of property, the whole of that vast police life iu which tbe secret of the civilization of grout communities most truly resides, were us little dis? turbed iu the Southern States beyond the rauge of military operations as in the North. That the relations of tbu black aud white races during that time were certainly very free from being re? lations of reciprocal hostility, is abso? lutely demoustruted by the simple fact that nothing resembling a negro iusar rectiou occurred in any part of tho South. Tho emancipation of tbe ne? groes has not resulted in a war of races, but on the contrary, as might bo evident even to prejudiced Northern observers, from the vast products of Southern agricultural labor which con? tinue aunually to bo sent to Northern ports, and from the leading articles of commercial and muuufactiag enter? prise, tbo two races nro working har? moniously together for their common muteriul welfare. So far from tho defeat of General Dix, or, what is more to thy purpose, the almost universal defeat of tbe Ro pnblicuu parly in the Uuited States, having incited the Southern people to u revival of tho secessiou spirit, or to the antagonism of whites against black4, tbe very contrary, ?o far as our obsevvutiou extends, seems to bo tho fact. Wo liud Senator Gordon, of Georgia, iu a meeting called to cele? brate the political victory, invoking his audience to permit him to pledge them in the Senute to renewed fidelity to tbe constitution, while his uudience received his address with enthusiastic cheers. We liud other Southern speak? ers expressing liko patriotic senti? ments, und tbe Southern press cilliug ? tor moderatiou and for the strict recog? nition of tbo political rights guaran I teed to tbu negroes. Facts liko these should convince candid and iudepeud I cut journalists in tbo North that the South is solidly und seusibly Conserva? tive and law-abiding, uud quite (it to bo entrusted ut least with locul self government, which is the height of her present political aspirations.

After that he turnod his attention to religious matters, and was ordained deacon at Rome, Ga., by Bishop Quintanl, in 1868. Ho after rr>.1 rria went to New York, and pursued bis studies at the General Theological Seminary. Ho was ordained as a priest iu Easter, 1871, at Christ Churoh, Savannah, by Bishop Book with.
