Th* character of the negroes of the Beaufort Republicans was so bad that the better class of Republicans formed a fu sion ticket with some of tbe Democrats of tbo County fur the purpose of defeat- ing them at tbe recent election. Tbe negroes asserted tbat if the fusion ticket was declared elected by tbe returning board, Iber* would bo trouble, aad some of thorn ore opprehcasivc person* in th* •ommunity thought at one time that it would b* necessary to oend for tb* Char • lostea militia to protect tb* town of Beau- fort Tha affair tormiaatod fertunatsly, bowovar. without any trouble.

Aa mentioned above tha juty on this secend ‘rial have failed to agree. Republican unipinec for tbe Pn-si deucy, ib-reby extiiiguiabitig all hopes of tbe aucceas of t'jc Nation al Democtaiic patty, waa teceivetl uowbt-re with more surprise tbau at the Capital of tbe Naliou, where, it is auitl, even the Republicans were unprep tret] for it.^A change iu the Natioual ailminiatratiou ex ercises so tlecideti an iutiucuce upon tbe social and buaiueaa affairs ot the District, tbat one wbo reaidea in “ihe St.'ite« r can scarcely realize the extremes of joy ami despair of laughter aud tears which character ized there the, reception of the news of oar defeat. The President himself is well off in this world’s goods, and so are moat of tbe Cab inet; moreover, all of|i hose iu high ofiical position will doubtieaA have other avenues of basilicas, lei.ding to posts of dignity and honor, open ed to them be loro tbe 4lb of Match arrives, ho tbat their chief diacom- fort ariaea from tbe mortification aud chagrin which attend* a defeat so little anticipated. Bnt the large mass of those who hold positions under the Government iu Wash ington, friendle s women aud oth ers directly dependant upon their places for the necessaries of life, are tbe ones to whom tbe blow comes most crnelly. It is true th.*t very many of them will be afforded some protection by the Civil Ser- vice Law under which they were appointed, but tbe very idea ot a change iu tbe administration is at tended iu all ot their minds with tbe most heartfelt dread; tor if their room should be desired mot e than their services, it will be very easy for tbe new masters of tbe sit- nation to trump up charges which will render :be protect iug arm of ‘‘Civil Service” of bat little avail. * • • * • Whi’e all whose names have be come prominent In the history of the country daring the present ad ministration bear their defeet with the fortitude and grace to be ex pected of meu iu their exalted posi tions, be wbo is most oonspionons for the philosophy with which he regards tbe result is the Oi.e wbo waa most concerned, namely, tbe President himself. Cool, dignified, oonrteoas, and self contained, be receives his guests almost daily iu tbe historic East Room of the White Honae; while the Marine Band near ac hand may be cootrib atiug its joyous strains to swell the triumph of the Republican chief tain, or the very windows of the White House itself may be rattling to the salutes fired iu his honor, not a shadow crosses the face o him whose conduct commands tor him tho same admiration and re spect iu adversity as were freely rendered him iu the brightest hours of his prosperity. Truly this is great man ; nothing but the ecu sciousueas of having performed hia whole duty at the risk of his per aoual ambition could enable him to sustain so succeastully the trying position which fortune now call upon him to occupy. “It is better to be riaht than to be Piesideut, is uodead sentimentalism with him but a living, fundamental principle of his nature. * * » * To those who love this great man for hia noble character bow grati fying it must be to know that he is still sustained aud assisted by her who has more thoroughly gained the affections of tho Nation than any of that long line of distinguish ed ladies who have occupied the important post of mistress of the White House. The true nobility which shows itself to the best ad vantage iu the day of adverse for tune now characterizes this lovable woman no less than her distinguish ed husband. Like a queen has she held tho sceptre of social power; like a queen will she lay it dowu. * • * * * era! Southern States the battle flags captured in the war, were used against the President for all they were worth. A very large class of the Democrats on the otb er h •ml arc decidedly of the opin ion that the money advanced by Morton aud several other di.'-tiug- uiabed Northern Republicans was no mean (actor iu determining tbe result. Again, st me of those ot our own political persuasion who hate the Civil Service Lew with a radly bate claim that the Presi dent’s policy on this subject was what resulted in oismudoing. Last- y, a few of tbe more philosophical of both parties calmly assert that the Republicans were victorious simply because theirs was the strong party numerically; that tbe oss of a few Mugwump votes in New York Stale four years ago on account of Blaine’s vile personal record was all tbat turned tbs scale uhen, nd that the absence of any such charges against the privi te chaiacter of their late candidate Drought the lost sheep back into the Republican fob’, aud restoied the numerical condition of the two contending parties to Us normal state. There can be no doabt that all of these may have|been more or less important elemenisenteriog into the peculiar game of chance which has just been concluded. Tammany and tbe other corrupt political ma chines in New York aud elsewhere may have resorted to underhand means for tbe accomplishment of their ends, as they have uqn doubtedly done in tbe past: it is possible, too, thatfjtbere may have been a slight feeling ag-inst tbe President oo seconut of what was regarded as his One of tbe most interesting ques tions now engrossing tbe attention of the country is as to what will be the policy of him who is next loflll the Presidential chair. The friends of general Hat risen allege th;it h<* is a man of aiidonhted ability, aud that he will di-ch r^e the duties of bis high office according to what he deem* beat, without the dicta tion of any “power behind the throne.” If bis friend* a»e correct, the foim. r udminble quality holds out rite bopeih.it the new Presi dent’s wi.sdom will enable him to see that the jiolicy of hi-* party to wards the South iu the paat was nustatesmaulike aud unjust; while the latter quality would ensure ns rom tbe malignant insults of tbe detested James G. Blaiue. It is too far ahead, however, to predict with any degree of certainty what ill be the policy of t ie uew Presi dent, but it is highly probable, as >as already been prophesied by some of the newspapers of the coun try, that it having been found im Dossible to divide “tbesolid South,” >y harsh measures, the new man, it ie is as smat t as his friends say he is, will attempt to accomplish this >v resorting to kindness, a course of action greatly to be dreaded, and one which will be fraught with the greatest danger to our Southern institution*. Ot course, the all-absorbing topic at tbe Capital with both ol tbe great political parries is as to what cause or causes tbe Democras tic defeat is to be attributed, and the reasons assigned, it in needless to say, are numerous. Some there are who alb ge that the cause is to be fonud in tbe oomplioatious which arose in the State and Municipal canvass in New York, claiming that the President was “betrayed in tha boose of hia friends.” Soma ot the Repablicana say tbat the partiality for the Bomb, a condition of things which was nufortnoately aggravated by the falae policy of aendiugldisting nished Boat barn statesmen on “missionary” work throughout New York and other Northern States during the campaign; these stump speakers but added to the existing irritation, aud it would have beeu far better if they bad beeu left at home: that a great many votes changed hands over Murtou’s “barrel” is certain, while the retention of Postmaster Pear sou, a Republican, iu the New York uftice undoubtedly made em mies for tbe President there, as ilid^the same policy almoal everywhere that he pursued it; devotion to tbe cause of duly, and atrict ; dhereuce to principle regardless of cooseqnen ces, are rarely rewarded in this world, least ot all iu theiworld ot politics. All ot these suppositious, however,.fall far short ol the rea issue which caused our defeat, aud that was the Tariff question. As is wed known, the protectionists at the North wield a tremendous pow er and influence. Fearful lest the President’s reasonable aud just r« commendations us to a moderate redaction ot the Tariff* would seri ously affect their |>ockets, they sys temutically deceived the m.isses o the ( 6 >ple by bolding him up as an expouent of tbe most advanced free trade notions, such as prevail England today. This latter doc trine, while (»erhaps correct iu theo or.v, is utterly unsuited to tbe con ditious of the people of the Umtei States. Nobody knows tbit better than the President, and none knew better that he so regarded it than these same Republican* whose per souil ini ere .ta induced them misrep eseut him. With the tre ineudou* amount of money aud in tlueuce which is at their command they promulgatvd their canard tar and wide, aud by this means, ia our opinion, won the victory. Had tbe masses of the people under stood the exact position held by Mr. Cleveland in regard to this matter, he would be the President elect to day. That his views is an. doubtedly tbe correct one, we firm ly believe future political develop ments will demonstrate. It is said that when the President wrote hi* famous message in which be recom mended tbit reduction cf the tariff, he informed some ot his friends tbat he was conscious of the fact that be was taking a step which might af fect him politically, bat be added, “It’s the right thing, and I’m going to do it” Does history contain tbe record of any act which more nearly approaches the sublime f * v a • a • JTY va.
