?he gjunui WitU JVC. O. RXJSSELL, Editor & Proprietor. !Ini'iih Mnvioii CJo* tin.. If HI DAY MOKNING, NOVKllllllt 17 IS7II. 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.” G EOBCIA CONG fit ESSIE S. Sufficient returns from the con tested districts have now been re ceived to determine tbc result in each.
