Tuk people have about recovered Sola the little revolution through wRiV-h they have Just passed. Now Mery Democrat should aid in making >he government a grand success. 'I'm. election which tho country lias f it passed through, was an exceeding ly orderly one. It was a revolution a., be aura, but it was characterized by v ry tew dillleultles and broils. There are many factbw^Hbcfed with Tuesday’s victory APSli are In themselves significant of the trend of popular thought and opinion. It was not a victory in which the South, with a little outside aid, tought and- conquered tjie North, but It was a fight of all sections combined, North, South, Kast and West, to re place dishonest government and op pressive taxation with a party whose purity of principles cannot he ques tioned, Tlic time hnd come when the coun try was ripe for governmental revolu tion, and It remained for the Demo cratic Party, both North and South, to wipe out from the campaign . nil sec tional lines, ami to Set freedom’s god dess upon n loftier and purer pedestal. Tho fact-tlmt minis, Wisconsin, ^(iohlgan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut joined In with the South tu make (Democratic victory more overwhelming and com plete, carries with it the significance that the majority of our Northern brothers have long ago dropped sec tional ideas and left t|iem alone to those bitter pnrtlsnn radicals of the Tourgee stamp. Standing on the threshold of thnt future when Henry Grady predicted thnt there would he no North, no South, no Knst ami no West, let us cuuBccratu this brilliant victory upon the altar of the peoples’ government. T.ct us hope that this great vletory In which the North joined hands with the South has forever wiped’out scc- tlonnl lines in the heart of every true and loyal American citizen. THOME DBPFTV )IARSnAI.S. The Scramble for government posi tions under the Democratic adminis tration has commenced already. The news that Cleveland bad been elected had scarcely been confirmed before candidates were announced for nearly every government position in the country, from the President’s Cabinet down to local mall oarrlers. The Herald lias no desire to dis courage those who are proceeding on the "early bird” Idea, nor would we be understood as Intending to criticise unkindly any whe nspire to hold office under the Democratic ad ministration; yet we regret to see the unusual haste thgt Is being made by Democrats all over the country, In filing their applications and pres: lug their claims for government patron age. The indications are that there wilF be many more place seekers than,there will be plnces to be tilled, and the rush of applicants and the scramble fur office that will follow tho change of control at Washington from one political party to another on the fourth of March next, promises to be unprecedented nnd disgusting. We arc sorry to sec these indications, too, so soon after the election—even before the smoke oi battle has had time to Bettle, or the victorious leaders can dearly see their way. It doesn’t look well, and will subject the Democratic party, nnd more especially our South ern Democrats, to the scorn nnd de rision of our politioal enemies. It gi^es them a chance to say that we are more eager for the spoils than concerned about the triumph of the principles of Democracy. vv'gmt the Republicans an enormous xumwnt lo lie defeated. A $XJiU0,000 vanipaign fund and still they arc (150,- M 11 the black clbtid, and a ray of light One of the most grntlfylng features of tho glorious Democratic vlotory scored In last Tuesday’s election is tho rebuke thnt has been given to federal Interference in the election; and one of the best articles thnt we havo seen on this subject is in Thursday’s Phila delphia Record. Tho Rcoord says; “A more open nnd shameless bribery wns never perpetrated than that of hiring thousands of deputy marshals In New York with the shallow pre text of employing them to protect the ballot-box. This army, recruited from the slums of the metropolis, was ut terly Incapable of performing such i service hnd It been desired. But the form of employing these deputy mar shals, at $8 a day, was only the cover for bribing them to vote the Republi can ttoket. How well the shabby de vice suocecdod may be seen In the eleo tlon returns. The great shame of It Is that the ofltolals of the United States Government are the agents In this work of wholesale corruption. “Aa Congress had made no provis ion for tho payment of the deputlea of Marshal JnoobtiB, and It is not likely to make any, they were paid out. of the Republican corruption fund, in the hope of reimbursement from the spoils of u successful campaign. Rut, ns the campaign has proved disastrous, there iH no feasible mode of recovering this outlay. Congress will subjectThe ac counts of Mnrshnl Jacobus nnd Super visor Davenport to a most rigid jicrutluy; and nut a dollar will be paid except upon positive proof of Its hon est expenditure. It is time now to pul an end to this official system of bribery and Corruption," ITUS AMIIMMU. Now that the election Is over It is amusing to see'the Republican organs admit their overwhelming defeat and then try to explain how it all came about. The Chicago Inter Ocean does it very gracefully ns follows; “There is no longer any doubt that the Democrats have won a great vic tory. The first reports nil showed it, hut late Tudsdny night, or rather early Wednesday morning, there was a rift probable that the party—by the dc- •t'O :>•■> debt. It i Jitix will go like teiste. 'Ykk Democrats now want an extra reseiun of Cungrsss after Cleveland's i -irVgurntii.n. Now that we have full wintrol of the government, it is expe dient that thp principles of the Demo cratic platform, as far as practicable, be at once put into effect. Let's have (tie extra session.

GEORGIA No disoussion of a Georgia exhibit at the World's Fair can come amiss. Georgians, whose State Ib now the only one which has not mada arrange ments to be represented there, would hang their nends in shame when they gazed on the beautiful displays made by sister States and realized that Georgia’s magnificent resources were not represented among them. On this point Governor Northen pertinently says: “I think the question one of the most Important before the people of the State at the present time. “I have worked hard for it for a year. We should not, by any miaohanoe, fail to be at the exposition with an exhibit that will be the equal of that sent by any other State. We have too much to gain by having an exhibit, and too much to lose by not having one. 1 am more than ever impressed with this idea Blnoe my recent visit to the State Fair at Macon. I saw there the grand est agricultural exhibit ever made by our people. It was an objeot lesson never to be forgotten. I was con vinced by what I saw that Geor gia can make an exhibit at Chicago that will astonish our sister States and the farmers of Europe, thousands of whom are looking for homes in America. We can make magnificent exhibit; and we should not full to have one at the Columbian exposition.” Words like these should interest every good oltizen in the enterprise which would ever redound to Geor gia’s welfare and honor.

Rut it is established now that they will he enacted once every four years. About seven o’clock last night the fire bell began ringing long and loud, summoning all the patriotic none of liberty to the grand celebration. The tire engines turned out and headed the procession, followed by a crowd bearing torches and numerous transparencies Illustrating Die jest and mirth of the campaign. The par- ade was kept up until all in it wrre heartily tired out and wauled some more substantial fun. Many of the transparencies they car ried were good ones indeed, illustrat ing the embnnis.sltir situations into which the exigencies of the campaign hnd brought Messrs, llarrison, 'Weav er, Dense, Reid and Co. Another read, “Cotton 10o,” “Pearl buttons," etc. All of them were good illustrations of the humorous features of the enmpnign. Bonfires lined .Broad street from one end to the other, plied high with South Georgia tightwood and rosin, and the cannon, down by the river bridge, told In no unmeaning terms that good peo ple were celebrating their Imppy for tune in the result of Inst Tuesday’s work. By no means n small faster in the jubilee was the small hoy with (he i'll! horn and the cannon cracker. Woo to him who came within reach of the lat ter weapon, fpr there wns sure to be an explosion, shortly, under his feet. Kverybody had a tin horn, nnd everybody was happy. Just here we might go Into personalities, but it will not take an extraordinary imagina tion to pioturu just how happy some of Albany’s old-timers were. Many of them had witnessed just such scenes in previous campaigns, and knew just exactly what to look for, and how to take everything that cnine along. Altogether, it was a great celebra tion. All our people caught spirit of success, and, fired by the resultant enthusiasm, announced their feelings- over the victory in prolonged and loud demonstrations. Tho uiujority of the erowd, however, feels, to-day, that the demonstrations were of the prolonged kind. Nobody was hurt nnd everything passod off in the best of good nature, Arrangements will be made for its repetition just four years from date.

They were discussing men, and one of them at least was cynical. It ahould be mentioned in her favor that ahe wof also observant, and that she was disposed .to bo fairly just In some of her remarks. The conversation had lieen intersting to the people in the “L" car in which the two women sat. but when they touched upon the subject of men who weep the passengers dropped oil pretense and gave the young philosophers their undivided atten tion. It was the woman in the new seal skin jacket who introduced the topic. “Their profound selfishness is wlmt irritates me." she remarked, gazing absently ut a stout man who sat op posite, and Aivlio promptly retired from view liehiml his newspaper. “The average woman is nothing if not sympathetic. She weeps pro fusely over her own troubles, but as a rule she will weep just us freely over yours—if you happen to mention them at the right time. But take the average man. Is there sympa thy in his soul I No. Is ho capable of weeping \yith you ? Never. And yet it's not because he’s too manly to weep, hut he will sit down ut almost any time and shed scalding team over trouble of his own." The woman iu tho tan colored ul ster remarked mildly that she had never seen them do it, and the stout man emerged frbtu behind his news paper to beam at her approvingly. But her companion smiled a chilling smilo. “Within five weeks I have seen seven men cry." she remarked cold ly-. “Noui{ of them was intoxi cated ; all were representative men, so far as strength of character goes. One was a well known public man. He dropped tears all over my desk becuuse 1 sympathized with him over the loss of $20,000 which he unwisely invested. Another, a well known writer, wept through the Hinging of a Hungarian slumber soug; he said it had rcopenod an old wound. The third and fourth cried because they had lieeu jilted, and the fifth was moved to tears at my offer to bo u sister to him. For the remaining two there- was good ex cuse. One bad just lost his child; the other was lamenting the wild ness of a son. But the point is this, that at one time 1 had appealed to five of these men in behalf of an un fortunate whoso ease was the Boddest 1 had ever known in my experience, and the matter had distinctly bored them. The father of the wayward sou, and the young man who—er— didn't like sinters, hod tried to ap pear interested, but it was for my sake. They afterward helped that particular unfortunate, but that, too, was due to my interest. "I can easily understand why a man cries when a women refuses to marry him," said' the meek little woman beside the last speaker, "for 1 have heard so much of that ond- ahem—have seen it my-Belf. They all seem to cry when they're refused.

THE FIRST BILL PASSED j' Br the General Amenably Wne Intro duced by Sennter Woolen. The I] liman Memory. A writer in The Atlantic Monthly presents eurious factH with regard to the operation of. the human mem ory. Ho takes the ground that the memory supplies the place of talent in many- cases, and cites an instance in which a rare success in point of style was proved to have been achieved by a mosaic of sentences carried in the., mind from various waiters, and carefully dovetailed into a piece of work which proved a tri umph in its completeness. The capi tal of most writers consists in in formation, nnd to the faculty of memory they are chiefly indebted for this. Memory is almost a substi tute for genius itself at times, and may certainly afford its possessor tlmt which passes for originality. Congress at Montgomery.
