The prefixes add certain bonuses to your weapons, that either affect the damage you do physically, magically or damage with Fire.

Here are the list of prefixes and how they affect each individual weapon :)

And here's how they affect the Long Sword per se: http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/long-sword

So you see, even though your Quality Long Sword +1 has less physical damage stats, the amount of damage boost you get from stats is bigger, since you get a D boost from strength and Dexterity at the same time, instead of the D strenght and E dexterity.

Overall, Quality weapons are sometimes lower in damage than their original counterparts, unless you level up both Strenght and Dexterity at the same time.
