$ effort) Inquirer. BEDFORD, Pi., FRIDAY, NOV- A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. Adversity has its uses, aud there is no fate so dark but that it has a bright side. In such a spirit we see here aud there a re publican paper discussing the result of the late elections. Those who see things iu this doleful light are welcome to do so, but we cannot join their number. We utterly re fuse to see the dark side at all. in fact w don't believe the subject ha.- any dark ride, for our cause when rightly viewed, unb-.-> we count our losses as imaginative men sometimes count their business losses, not by what they bad and lost, but when they have made large and absolute gains, look back regretfully and speculate on how much more they might have made aud did not, and count that a loss. The man who esti mates his grain in the chaff may have an immense crop, but he is very apt to over estimate the amount. Those republicans who estimated the strength of the republic an party by all who voted for it, when every instinct ol patriotism compelled all who were not utterly lost to all honor or love of country to join its ranks for the, time were very apt to be thus deceived. It must be remembered that thousands then joined and helped to swell our immense majorities who were not and never had been up to the true republican standard. The republican party during the latter years of the war was the crude ore, unrefined and cumbered with dross. The necessities of the times requir ed and determined the conglomeration of many uncongenial elements, with a great di versity of views, having but the one great central idea of a free and united country, in common. As the pressure of circutn stances relaxes, many in whose minds other ideas preponderate will of necessity fall away. This has been the case for a year or two, aDd now that we stand freed from the dross that clogged and obstructed in a great measure the usefulness of the party, we deem it not Pause of complaint but rather of rejoicing. Now we are in condition to take a calm view of the past and present situation and compare our strength- in the present with what it was in the past, as the representative of the cause of law and order, of human liberty, of mental, moral and ma terial progress. Let us look back seven years. The party, that then dared only ask that the vampire of slavery should be re stricted to its then existing limits, led by away it knew not, but by a Providential hand, through a very baptism of fire and blood 1 stands to-day upon an eminence that it then dreamed not of, and sees a race en. franchised. and the glorious banner of our country the emblem of freedom in deed a well as in name. Nay mere This is not her glory. Whether by her own will or that ot er CDem ' es votes cast at the fall elections, u owin still an immense ag gregate majority to *. be represent her as the advocate and v A n dard bearer of law artd order, Teroperam-e, "'orality a! "' the religion of the Bible. As oet>, repre senting the cause of tbe little band i) v,u i turning away in gloom and sorrow from eat- I vary eighteen hundred years ago, with J nothing but their faith in a crucified Master j and Saviour to sustain them, set forth to j redeem the world to virtue and religion, as the representative of the same cause re formed and renewed by the great Luther three hundred and fifty years ago, and to which the civilized world to day owes all of liberty, virtue, humanity, and hope of the future, that it now enjoys, as such we say a greater glory crowns her. We say that we have indeed great cause of rejoicing that so many in numbers, so much in strength are found on which to rest our hope of tbe fu ture of our country and the world. Away with gloomy forebodings, with such a host faithful to their convictions and devoted to the great cause in whieh they have enlisted, we can look with a calm and hopeful spiric to the future. With such a cause to advo cate and such a host to sustain it, we can go forward with alacrity to do battle in the future, assured that while true to our con victions and faithful to tbe cause of jus tice and humanity, energy and vigilance will crown our efforts with triumphant vic tory and the welfare of the whole country be advanced thereby. TRIMMING BHIF. The Republican party during the present j year has everywhere been identified with, and gone into the election contest, on local issues. It has everywhere been on the side of right, justice, humanity and law and or der. Though it thus lost heavily in many places, it has made for itself a glorious rec ord. These local contests arc now over, and wc see with pleasure this giant guardian of the republic preparing with alacrity and con fidence for the national quadrennial contest of 1868. To this end we sec our cotetnpo raries are directing their attention to the paramount and vital issue of reconstruc tion. All other questions sink into insig nifieance compared with this, and until it is disposed of, and the work of reconstruction finished beyond the possibility of change or repeal, the work of the party that put down rebellion and saved our union and our liber ty together, will not de done. laying aside all minor differences and side issues of every kind it now becomes its duty to devote every energy to the completion of this groat work, and thereby secure for all future time the freedom of our country and the equal ity of all her citizens before the law. Let her take no step backward. With calmness and deliberation, remembering mercy but not forgetting the safety of the country, her policy has been framed and boldly declared. It has received the sanction of the nation by the vote of the majority. It is already in successful operation, and under it, if not prevented by executive interference, in a few months the lately rebellious states will have framed loyal state governments and been admitted to their old places in the union. Never was there a time when the party was more absolutely required to stand squarely up to the issue. Never did any party accept more willingly and cheerfully the responsibility in a great issue, than the republican party ig now doing. She accepts the work and its responsibility with the as suraoce that, by the intelligent suffrage of a free people, her course will be triumphantly vindicated by an over whelming majority in tlic Presidential contest of 1868, and iree d in and equal rights be decreed to all the people. The Presidential Election. "Mack," the admirable Washington cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, in his last letter has thefollowing well-foun d d estimate of the electoral vote: it may iutcrest a few of the fearful souls to he informed that, even on the basis of the late elections, the Republican party can elect its nominee without any bargain or sur render whatever. Here is a fair estimate of how the electoral vote will stand, allowing the Democrats to carry New York and Pennsylvania, which they cannot do when General Grant's Republican friends have no interest in permitting it to be done DEMOCRATIC. California o. Maryland Connecticut 6 New Jersey i Delaware 3 New iork.._. 33 Kentucky Hi Pennsylvania 3. Total Democratic REPUBLICAN. Illinois 16 Nebraska ._. 3 Indiana 13: New Hampshire ■> Missouri 13 Ohio 21 lowa 8 Oregon 3 Kansas 3 Rhode Island 4 Maine " Tennessee 10 Massachusetts 12 Vermont 5 Michigan BiWest Virginia 5 Minnesota 4 Wisconsin 8 Nevada ••••• 3 Total Republican ...151 This gives a Republican majority of fifty three in the electoral college without coun ting the seventy odd votes from the South ern States, which, if counted at all, will be on the Republican side. There is not a doubtful State in the Republican list, except perhaps Indiana, which has been rendered doubtful by the policy of the very men who now propose to substitute shoulder straps for statesmanship in the administration of the Government. Put Indiana down as Democratic, and the account stands: Demo cratic, 111: Republican, 1.38. Republican majority without the Southern States, 27. These figures won't lie. GENERAL SHERMAN. Ilit Address before the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. At tbe last annual meeting of the society of the Army of the Tennessee, which was held at St. Louis on Weduesday last, Lieutenant General Sherman delivered an address before the same, from which we ex tract the following passages: 1 have often been asked by my fellow scl diers, when troubled by the reports of the disturbed condition of things at the South, whether, after all, our labors had not been in vain? Whether we might not again be called on to repeat the scenes of 1863 aud 1864? Or whether the rebels, defeated in battle, might not, in the hurlyburly of time and politics, regain their "losteause," and their lost pride? (In these points I feel no great solicitude; but whether lean convey toyourrainds the same conviction, I will not say. History rarely goes backward, and events in the past are usually as real as the granite rock on which we stand. Surely no men ever had a more glorious cause than we; and never, in my judgment, did war so com pletely fulfil its natural office. Slavery was the cause of the war, and slavery would surely have been extinguished in this country by a gradual and natural process, and we uiight have been spared our civil war, had not other causes come in to play. It was found that the soil and oli mate of the Southern States were admirably adap' e d to the growth of cotton. The power oi steam was discovered and applied f.i machinery of a " kinds, especially in Old and New and Eli Whitney, of Massachusetts, invented his cotton gin. These created an immense demand for the staple, and seem to have changed the whole current of public opinion. The invention oi the cotton gin did more to fix slavery upou us than any amount of prohibitory legisla tion, or any amountofanti-slavery agitation, so that 1 have always felt that both Old England and New Eogiaud had much to do in fastening slavery upon us as a people, and should have a just share in the responsibility for its baneful result. Under these influen ces cotton became a power in the land v It was proved arrogant and claimed to be King. It dictated its terms, and threatened war unless its imperious demnads were granted. It claimed the right to go where it pleased, and to extend itself over lands, such as Kansas and California, not adapted to it or to slave labor at all; and at last it rebelled and set up a government of its own, whose very corner stones were cotton and slavery. Nothing on earth could justify such a rebel ion, and I only mention these facts in the past to show that others than the people of the South were partially responsible and should share the natural consequences of their own act. Now that slavery is gone, and gone for ever, with its unhapy wrecks left behind, and all danger is passed, if any set of men again appeal to war when they have courts to secure their rights und redress their wrongs, I would trust our national destiny again to those grand old national laws which raised our country through the long, tedious vassalage of colonization; which carried us safely through the ordeal of our Revolu tionary war: made our flag famous on the high seas in 1812, led oureonqueringarmies to tho gates of Mexico in 1841; and has borne us gloriously through four years of as hard war as ever tested the manhood of any people. CuiEi' JUSTICE Chase made a speech in Richmond on Friday night, - at the dedica tion of the Normal High School building for colored persons. He hoped the day was not far distant when the fields and valleys of the South would be glorified and blessed by eehoolhouses. lie had said several years ago, in a speech made on a similar occasion, that be might live to see the day that the sun would not shine on the footprints of a slave in America; when no slave should tread the soil of Virginia, and he thanked God that that hope bad been realized. The work of educating the colored people had com inenced and would not stop. It could not go backwards, but wonld be pushed forward until all of them were educated and chris tianized. It is reported that Hunnieutt had an interview with Judge Chase, and receiv ed a severe reproof from hitn for his ex treme utterances. He was told that lie misrepresented the party and brought it in to discredit in the State. CHABLKS DICKENS. Ihx Arrival in Boston—Excitement ttnd Bo le of Tickets. BOSTON, November 18.— The sale of tick ets to Charles Dickens' readings began at nine o'clock, at Ticknor k Fields. People began to gather about the doors soon after, midnight, and at sunrise thousands of ex pectant persons were patiently waiting their chaiiSes. The regular business of the house wag suspended, and a strong force of police put in constant attendance. The weather in tensely cold, yet the utmost order and good humor was prevailed, the crowd cheering the fortunate ticket holders as they passed out, and amusing themselves by singing "We Won't Gollome till Morning.' Mr. Dickens arrived on Tuesday the 19th. FROM EUROPE. Terrible Calamity—An Entire Itlaiul Sub merited —It remained under water for eif/ht hours —Ten thbusnnrl Lira Lost. HAVANA, NOV. 15.- -Later advices from ' Porto Kioo state that during the late terri ble gale the little island of Tortola, of the Virgin Group, entirely disappeared, being completely submerged, it is said, for eight hours. Every living thing, tuan or animal, upon it perished, Tortola. is one of the Virgin Islands, West Indies, belonging to Great Britain, situated between Virgin Got da and St. John's. The length of the island is twelve miles, and its breadth four miles. It con sists mostly of a range of hills rising to 1,600 feet in elevation, and in its north part en circling a harbor, on the west side of which is the town of Tortola. It contains an area of forty-eight square miles. This island is very unhealthy to Europeans. Tortola has its Governor, Council, and Legislative As sembly. It became a British possession in 16G6. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Is the Protestant Episcopal Convention in session at New York, a report was made in favor of a division of the diocese. ABOUT a million children are said to gath er weekly in the Methodist Sunday Schools, in the United States, under the instruction of 160,000 teachers. IT IS reported that America is to pay sll,- 600,000 for the Danish West India Islands, subject to the claim of France for Santa Cruz, or $7,500,000 for the other two islands THE Pope objects to a conference of the European Powers on the Roman question. It is said the Powers are divided on the sub ject, and that Spain alone supports the tem poral power of the Pope. THE order of the President to General Grant to disband the volunteer colored troops at Washington causes considerable excite ment, and it is said that a movement will be made to legally resist it. The troops are not enrolled militia. TUE Memphis I'ost says that about the doors of every grocery in the country towns iu that region may be found half a score men, smoking cob pipes, and demanding vehe mently, "Where the dash shall we get labor to raise our cotton?" JOHN H. Snrratt continues in good health at the jail, and bears his confinement philo sophically, sometimes engagiug in conversa tion with his sister and a few other relations, who occasionally call upon him, but most of his time is employed in reading religious books. TUE President directed on Saturday the muster out of Dauiel D Sickles, as Major General of Volunteers, to take effect from the first of January uext. General Sickles will retain his position as Colonel of the Forty-fourth Infantry. THAU. STEVENS informed a gentleman who called on him Saturday that he had not felt so well within the last five years. He said he was overwhelmed with letters from the West and East, commending the financial views ad vanced in his late letter. THE New York Times perpetrates the fol lowing : "Foreign residence has not changed tbe temper and habit of Gen. McClellan's mind. lie intended to come home in tbe Scotia, but changed his mind at the last mo ment, having been detained, the World says, by private business. He will now come by some other steamer, if he doesn't change his mind at the last moment again. His move ments while at the head of the Army of the Potomac were greatly embarrassed by this chronic babit." There is an universal demand, North and South, for the repeal of the cotton tax, and Congress will probably give heed to it. As a cotemporary says: It is questionable how far the South may prove able to compete with India, eten without having to pay the tax; but if the tax is to be continued, the cotton trade of the United States is to be regarded as a thing of the past. The tax now averages twenty per cent, upon what the planter gets for his cotton. ATTORNEY General Stanbery is out in an opinion with regard to the addditional session of the Fortieth Congress. It appears as a communication in the newspapers, over Stan bery's initials, and is said to be in substance the same views as set forth by him at a recent Cabinet meeting, when the question of send ing the message and reports to Congress was under consideration. The main point of the article is that the Thirty-Ninth Congress had no authority to pass the Act of January 22d, 1860, providing for an additional session of the Fortieth Congress, and that such sessions was irregular and unconstitutional. A DINNER was given by Messrs. Tickuor A Fields to Mr. lamglellow, the poet, Wednes day evening Nov. 6th at the 1 nion Club House in Park street, Boston in honor of the publication of the translation of Dante's "Divine Comedy." It is well-known that Mr. Longfellow has been engaged on this great work for twenty-live years, and now that it is completed and published, the liter ary event deserved 'o be especially marked. The dinner was quite a private affair. The invited guests numbered only about twenty, among whom were Bryant, Halleck, Dana, Holmes, Lowell, Emerson, Whittier, Agassiz, Curtis and Parton. Mr. Fields presided. IN a report which has been prepared by the collector of one of the largest internal reve nue districts, it is stated that the loss to tbe Government in the non-collection of tax on whiskey last year aipounts to upwards of one hundred millions of dollars, and the loss on tobaceo is set down at twenty-five millions. This loss is all attributed to fraud and negli gence on the part of collectors. The matter has been brought to the attention of the President, and it is understood that he will discuss the subject in a message, and com mend some radical changes in the revenue system. A LETTER from Stephensville, Texas, 6aya there have been more grasshoppers in the re gion recently, than the whole debt of the United Stales counted in mills. Firstnoticed high In the air, coming from the North, they looked like a snow storm. Their ravages have been very serious. Besides they are so great annoyance. They are in every house— on the table, in the dishes, Ac. A T.XDY of property recently applied to an thorities of the Hull (England) workhouse for admission. She said that the guardi ans should take possession of her property, receive the income, Ac., and although told that she could not expect any treatment dif ferent from that of an ordinary pauper, she persisted in her application. She had, she said, lived alone for many years, and she felt that she would be much better taken care of in the workhouse than outside. Her re quest was granted. Osk of the evidences of the high honor and protound reverence with which the memory of Mr. Lincoln is held by the people of France is shown by an incident which occur red to an American gentleman, who was pay ing a visit to Gustavc Dore. Upon ushering this gentleman into his studio, Dore pointed to Marshall's portrait of Mr. Lincoln. It was fixed upon the centre ol the wall, in the place of honor, and surrounded by the works of art, the productions of Dore and other men of genius. "There," said the artist, "I have placed this exquisitely engraved por trait of the greatest man in,the couutry where every one who enters here cun see it and do him honor." Another gentleman, while vis iting the silk factories at Lyons, was taken into a room by the director, who showed him this same portrait, beautifully reproduced in silk, telling his guest., "Tbis is the fourth in stance where we have undertaken the diffi cult task of weaving a portrait in this costly fabric. The first was Washington; the sec; ond the Emperor Napoleon; the third Alex ander, the Emperor of Russia; the last your great Lincoln," Paying Debts. —One of our religious exchanges has the following strong remarks on this subject: "Men may sophisticate as much as they tdease. They can never make it right, and all the universe cannot make it right for them not to pay their debts. There is a sin in this neglect as deserving church discipline as stealing or false swear ing. He who violates his promise to pay or withholds his payment of a debt, when it is in his power to uieet the engagement, ought to feel that in the sight of all honest men he is a swindler. Religion may be a very comfortable cloak under which to hide, but if religion does not make a man deal justly it is not worth having." He who violates a pledge, to which he has written his name, strikes down his honor with his own hand. Tmey that laugh at everything, and they that fret at everything, are fools alike. Time never sits badly upon u.; but when it is badly employed. Consumption Curable by l>r. Schenck's Medicines. To cure consumption, tbc system must be pre pared eo that the lungs will bo&l. To accomplish this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed and an appetite created for good wholesome food, which by these medicines will be t igeated prop erly, and good healthy bleed made; thus build ing up the constitution. Hchcnck'* Mandrake Bill's cleanse the stomach of all billious or mucous accumulations; and by uhing the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored. Scbenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well as medicinal, and by using the three remedies all impurities are expelled from the system, and good wholesome blood ina<ic, which will repel all dis ease. If patients will take these medicines ac cording to directions, Consumption very frequent ly ffl its last stage yields readily to then action Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does not follow that because the bowels arc not costive they arc not required, for sometimes in diarrhu a they are necessary. The stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the cspiratory organs properly ard allay any irrita tion. Then all that is required to perform a per- i manent cure is, to prevent taking co T d. Exercise ! about the roouie as much as possible, eat a'l the richest food—fat sneut, game, and, in fact, any thing the appetite craves; but be particular and masticate well.
