A private dispatch dated the 9th inst, says: "Victory is ours, we have carried everything." THE EESULT. The result of the elections on last Tuesday surprised even the most ardent Democrat. The vote of New York and Pennsylvania was expected of course no one anticipated such an overwhelming majority but when the tidal wave swept the whole Union from New Hampshire to California :t demonstrated that the people at last had determined to assert their rights. The Republicans attribute their defeat fo Stalwartism and confidently predict that now the "bosses" have been de feated the true Republican party will regain its ascendancy and again con trol the government. They also pre dict that the Democrats, having the control of congress, will make such mistakes as to give a Republican vic tory in 1884. They are welcome to all the consolation that this view of the question affords them. It may be admitted that the victory in New York and Pennsylvania may be due to the divisions in the Republican parly, but the general uprising of the people throughout the whole , United States indicates that the7 people have deter mined to relegate the whole Republican party to private life, that the corrup tion, the oppression of the high tariff, the overwhelming power of corpora tions fostered by that party must be put an end to, and to accomplish this work the government must be placed in the hacds of the Democratic par ty. Let us thank God that our day of deliverance has come. THE EflD OF rim W0BLD. Mr. Richard Proctor, the noted as tronomer, though not an astrolegist, predicts that the end of the world is at hand.: He is confident the comet which recently astonished the universe by its untimely appearance, the one so loved of lovers last year, is now rapidly ap proaching the Bun, and will disappear in that body next year. The conse quence of such a catastrophe can only be surmised, bus as Mr. Proctor has been recently married the second time he is inclined to take a gloomy view of the situation, and predicts the. end of the world. It is not worth while worrying, says the Courier-Journal, over this predic tion; the comet is beyond the jurisdic tion of the planet ea-th, and is no more responsible than an independent voter in Ohio. No one can by taking thought prevent the occurrence, so it should be treated philosophically. While most of us would cousent to u postponement of the matter, it will, after all, relieve us of many perplexities, solve many doubts and settle many vexed questions. If assurance can be given that Mr. Proc tor is correct in his prognostications, the nation escapes any action on. the report of the tariff commission; the manufacturers need not prepare for a reduction of subsidies and dividends; the Presidential contest of 1884, the preliminary canvass, the conventions, the ratification meetings, the tamper ing with the -returns allthi, to which wo are now looking forward with more or loss anxiety, is avoided, and we will admit tLat it is a blessed dispensation As to the one hundred thousand officeholders, haunted by Jay Ilubbel eD one side and the fear of Democratic ascendancy on the other, they should hail Proctor's edict as a new proclama mation of emancipation. No more a sessment circulars; no mora threats from headquarters; no more warnings from George William Curtis! It is a veritable millennium, well worth any thing it costs. To the frightened anti-monopolists it is a perfect godsend. In this way the diabolical Jay Gould eanbs thwart. ed and punished. He cannot buy up any more railroads, he cannot consoli date any more telegraph companies, he will not be able to throttle tho press, and his schemes to orm an alliance witn V anderbilt, overthrow vhe govern V ment at Washington and enslave fifty millions of human beings must come to naught This, too, is a happy solution of the temperance questio it will matter lit tle after next year whether liquor is sold ou Sunday or not The crops will not disturb speculators; individuals hopelessly in debt see a short way out; convict- sentenced for life complete their sentence; insurance companies will not be expected to pay any claims; many of the hollow pretenses of socie ty will avoid exposure, and the matri monial aid associations may escape a complete collapse if the comet moves rapidly. AYhile all this is cheerful enough and makes one feel that, the year 18S3 is to be a real year of jubilee, the end of tho world in 1883 must indefinitely postpone the election of a Democratic President. This is a view calculated to depress the most cheerful optimist Everything now points to a Democratic triumph in 1884, tut, as usual, some unforeseen accident occurs to dash the h jp; s of the people, li ubbeli and Pro-. tor must be in league, and the reckless ness of Radical leaders during the lute session of Congress indicates that they had private information of the coram" event. A Democratic victory in" 1884 means a purification of Ihfs civil service, a reconstruction of the American ship ping, a reduction of all forms of taxa tion, radical improvements in the pos tal service, a return' to the practices of thefathei-3 of the Republic, and he who can contemplate the destruction of such high hopes with any feelings than those of deep distress must be devoid of all feelings of patriotism. Besides, the outs have been out so long, hope has so of ten been postponed, that another dis. appointment, caused not by natural, but by supernatural, causes is apt to shake the faith of the multitude in the ultimate triumph of virtue. Giving due weight to all such objec tons, the good effects of the end of the world overshadow all partisan consid erations. The party must be sacrfiiced to the good of mankind. A Democrat ic victory would inaugurate a glorious reformation. Yet perhaps all that the party could accomplish under the most favorable circumstances will be more rapidly and thorouhly done by a fire which will purify, if it does not con sume, the entire planet HSFFROH'S SALOON.
