Friday, November JA%K, Tuftadtfr'a El !%l««ions last T The rile^ions last Tuesday resulted m a complete victory for the Democra cy, and there is general rejoicing among the friapds yf honest government and jsfortn. In'‘Ohio, Campbell defeats Kornker for Governor, and it is believed that the Peinecmta will have a majority in the legislature on Joint ballot. In Iowa, the entire State ticket is elected being the ilrst Democratic vic tory to that Slate since 1854. Boise Democrat;) defeats ITptctiTnaon (flo- jubllrah,) t6r Governor py, 7,000 majori ty. Xn 18^8 Iowa gave a majority of, 31,000 for Harrison. In Virginia, McKinney defeats Ma- tione for Governor by 30,000 or 40,000 majority. u >.i The Democratic State tickets were successful also in N*w York, New Jer sey, Mississippi and Maryland, by large ly increased htajorttles. Massachusetts and Nebraska went Republican, as usual, and no one is dis- appointed. Thk seventeenth annual session of the North Georgia Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church A Wahiiinuto^ special says some anxiety Is fqjt, by Democrats over the prospoctiye condition pf things in the next House of Representatives. Mr. Cox, who was always a safe depend ence for party leadership in emergens ios,.is dead. Mr, lUndall is practicsily an invalid and much too feeble for the active duties of parliamentary general ship.. Mr. Carlisle, who has been in deep distress oyer the illness of hia son, is himself so pltysi^lly, broken as to-be virtually out of the Bats. Mr. Mills 1«H a setjlous stomach trouble which Is liable to prostrate him gt auy time, and his physlcUusbaya.alrendy wanted liim of the Serious refuRs which would like ly ensue from overwork. Mr, Crisp, of Georgia,,is In good forking trim, how ever, amt uponhim will likely devolve Hie responsible and. onerous duties of leadership. While the outlook is not so encouraging as we could wish, it is in no sense disheartening. The cause of tariff reform upd impost government * a righteous one, and we have an abid ing faith that' some Moses will be found at tlio right time to load the Democrat c host out of the wlhlurness. t It 14 estimated that there are nine Thousand young men in Atlanta. With a view to ascertaining what proportion i-f this number visited the suloons and prayer-meetings of the city, respective ly, the Young Men’s Christian Associ ation appointed twelve pf Its members one night last week to visit six of the leading churches and saloons and make .m accurate count of the number of young men observed nt each place. Be tween 7:80 and 8:80 on the night in question no less than 1,008' young men between the ages ef 21 and 30 wore soon to unter six saloons, while the total at tendance of young mon at the six churches under espionage was only 114. This left about eight thousand unac counted for, with forty or flfty other saloons and half a dozen prayer-moot ings to hear from. Tiik Philadelphia liecovd undor- -tauds tho situation of the South very well. It says: “It is no wonder that the Republicans of Mississippi, who nominated a ticket with General Chal mers at ita head, should deem It need less to go to tho polls. They made a surrender before they began thoir bat tle. Chalmers soon showed that he' was ashamed of hi* followers, and it now appears that they are ashamed of themselves. Tlioro is no Stato in tho South—or in thoNorth, either, for that matter—in which a solid negro party led by white scalawags could expect to .jet control of tho government. Experi ments in that direction have been too disastrous to over permit of repeti tion.” Thk bill"66 amend tho Constitution as to include tho widows of Con'ed- vrate veterans in the provisions of tho State pension aot has been signed by Jot.- Gordon. The amendment will he -ubmitted-form tt float ion by tho peo ple at the general 1 i4tate electiou next year, and upon receiving a majority of the votes cast will become a law. Tho beneficiaries under the proposed amendment include only those who wives of‘soldiers during the war and liuve not since niarrifed. The provisions of the act will extend not only to the wives of soldiers who died in the ser vice, but the wives of those who have -ince died from wounds received or dis ease contracted in the service.

Bryant, Lewis, al. The day may come when the party in the Southern States will be able to hold ita own and become a great power, but it mast first reform itself; not only a large portion of its own ig norant rank and tile, but it must find leaders honest, intelligent and worthy of public confidence.

Our beloved preceptor. Mr. M. P. Kellogg, entered upon a fuller life November 1st, aged Uti years— "His lavish mission richly wrought, heaving great legacies of th.night." He was horn in Richford, Vermont, but had lived in the State of his adop tion more than forty years—a loader in educational enterprises, a man of versa tile genius, magnetic in social influence, almost unrivalled in energy, and a zeal ous champion for the elevation of wo man. With unbroken unity this golden chain linked all his efforts into one grand whole.

To this magnetic centre he drew pupils from Maine to Texas. Fully abreast with the times, this institution bequeathed an inalienable dowry to our privileged community, and the founder was well styled tho Augustus of an Augustan era. Its doors swung wide to rich tiud poor alike, and hundreds of literary suns are illuminating their little worlds to-da.v whose vital spark he kindled.

It sounds through tho memory like a trumpet, “Know ye not that a prince, a mighty man has fall en ?” A prince, indeed j— one whom we all delighted to honor. The bugle of his life blew revitle to the morn of Mind, and the glance of his eagle eye could lead a host to victory.
