President Samuel J. Tilden is sixty
two years old.
TILDU’n election.
Samuel J. Tildcn lias been fairly
and honestly elected President of
the United States by a popular vote
of at least three hundred thousand
majority. Tie has carried twenty
States, receiving in them 497,000
majority of the popular vote in those
States. They cast two hundred and
threo electoral votes. Ilayes get
eighteen States, casting only 100
electoral and a popular ma
jority in them of only 192,000.
Our Tilden is, therefore, elected
beyond the possibility of a doubt and
ought to take his seat, if lie has to
do it at the point of the bayonet.
Election news is still unsatis
factory. The election depends upon
the boards ot Louisiana,
South Carolina, and Florida. These
returning boards are great frauds.
Wo hope by next week to be able to
give the result of their action.
TEse President Elect.
Samuel J. Tilden, our President
elect, is in many respects one of the
strongest men who has been called
to that office by the people. For
eight years we have had as President
a man ignorant of the science of poli
tics, ami with that quality of stub
bornness which oftentimes accompa
nies a circumscribed intellectual
capacity and a mind untrained to
reasoning. Before him we had An
drew Johnson, who also suffered from
the lack of mental discipline and the
studious habit of a philosophic politi
cal thinker. Before him was Abra
ham Lincoln, a political txeniii3 and a
man cast in a far larger than the or
dinary mould.
Mr. Tilden in the character of his
mind suggests Thomas Jefferson. He
lias been from his boyhood a close
political observer and a careful polit
ical student. He has the ability, so
essential in a Governor, of grasping
questions in their breadth and also of
taking them in their details. His- le
gal experience has been that of a
counsellor in great operations rather
than as a pleader or a routine lawyer.
His clear head, astule perception,
sound judgement, common sense,
and rare executive capacity have
been prized by the organizers of cor
porate enterprises of the country,
and he has for years been accustomed
to deal with operations vast in their
scope, and requiring for their intelli
gent management exceptional power
and skill.
There is not a man in the country
more familiar with the history of our
politics, the diversified interests of
the country, its public men, and the
tone of the people of the different
sections, and who has more mature
views in rctrard to them, than Samuel
J. Tilden.
He is essentially a conservative
man. No one need fear any rash
experiments under his administration.
No one need tremble at the possibility
of his making assault on the results
achieved by' the war. He is also a
man who is capable of using the
strong points of his adversaries to his
advantage, and incorporating what
is sound in thoir policy in that which
he will himself pursue. We foresee
for Mr. Tilden an Administration
which will be conciliatory, but not
yielding, and doubt not that his ca
reer at Washington will be undisturb
ed by rancors, and unembittered by
enmities, except such as he shall in
vite from individual officials whose
corrupt practices he shall expose and
punish.
Mr. Tilden will go into the "White
House with a noble ambition to win
lasting fame as the President who
harmonized a country distracted by
sectional animosities, who made
stronger than ever the bonds that
hold together the Union, and who
helped to swell the tide of his coun
trymen’s prosperity. His aims are
statesmanlike, his mind is of the
statesmanlike build, and his training
well fits him for the high place to
which the people have elevated him.
Samuel J. Tilden will doubtless go
down to history as one of our strong
est Presidents.—Nett; York Sun.
—At the late District Fair in Sander
sville, Mr. Bryant Watkins took the
first premium on the largest crop of
corn gathered from one acre of old
upland which yealded 79 1-10 bu.she;s|
and a’so a first premium on best three
acres of corn, also on old upland, which
yeilded 217£ bushels, or an average of
72 3 6 bushels to the acre.
Some ( tlc Fruit* of Victory.
The Macon Telegraph and Messen
ger thus sums up some of the bless
ings which will flow irom the elec
tion of Tilden : “Wo should bo re
garded as rnero enthusiasts il we
should attempt to forecast all its ben
elieial results, and will leave them to
be developed by time. It is enough
to sav that trade in public discord,
social disorder and ruin is over. Ti e
busy artifices of slander—the whole
tribe of spies and bloody-shirt ma
kers lor hire will sink into merited
obscurity and contempt.
“No longer will lalse witnesses bo
supported out of tho national reve
nues, or the national printing houses
groan with libels ot the Southern peo
ple, ground out by millions at the
cost of a common country. Tho bus
iness of traveling committees oi slan
der and libel, pajd by per diem and
mileage, is over. The pecuniary
loss a large class of negroes will
suffer as paid perjurers may be regret
ted, but it will be more than made up
to them in Some other way. In a
word, the election of Tilden has given
the tax paying interest of the South a
friendly instead of a hostile govern
ment, and when you take into account
what that means, you can begin to
comprehend tne value of this election
to the Southern States.”
