IWorii Inquirer. BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, NOV. 10, ISO LIGHTS AiNIJ SHVUOWS OF THE LATE ELECTIONS. While the results of the late elections present many features calculated to rejoice the hearts of all good citizens, they also present some features of a character to make every patriotic citizen blush that even thus much of alia in closeness and moral degrada tion should mar the character of our na tional political system. The grand aggre gate majority of 450,000 is the most bril liant vindication of our people from the charge of sordid, mercenary motives that ever graced the annals of political hi-tory. That the people should condemn by snob overwhelming majorities, a policy supported by all the blandishments of power, the emoluments of office and the allurement* of almost unbounded patronage, is the most sublime proof of the purity of the patriot ism and the incorruptibility of the virtue of an educated, intelligent democracy. Never before were a people so tempted, by bribery, corruption and veuality of every kind, to support a party policy, and never was such an overwhelming rebuke a lmini-torcd t<> i !ic inflated pride of delegated power. Never was nation so disgraced by its representa tive head, and never was bloated egotism and blinded bigotry in its pride of power so completely emasculated by an insulted and indignant people. Such exhibitions of pub lic virtue, intelligence and patriotism are the most cheeriDg evidences of the progress we are making, as well as of the safety with which we may rely upon a virtuous and in telligent patriotism as the bulwark of our republican institutions. But while we thus rejoice over the general healthfulness of our body politic, we cannot overlook the fact that the seeds of a dire leprosy, though com paratively dormant still exist in our political system. That a few Judaseswere found among the high as well as the low, that some grown gray in their country's service and crowned with her fairest laurels, that others distin guished by deeds of valor in upholding the "Starry Flag" on Moody fields, should be tempted to barter their laurels for paltry office, or sell their life long principles, born of honest convictions, for the empty promi ses of a defunct political organization, t hough a matter of national humiliation, is scarcely to be wondered at. That the filthy slums and dark purlieus of New York City should pour forth their druhken and licentious tide of human depravity, to roll up a majority of 47,000 against cleanliness, sobriety, decency and the observances of a christian Sabbath is a dark and shameful stain upon our na tional escutcheon; but even this has its bright relief in the fact that the sobriety and virtue of New York's rural population is sufficient to hold this tide of wickedness, crime, wretchedness and misery in abeyance. That all the immense patronage of the gov ernment should be boldly, shamefully, defi antly, wielded for partisan purposes by the chief executive of the nation, is a fearful comment upon the integrity and virtue of our public men; that it should accomplish so little is the grandest vindication of the moral integrity of our people. After such an exhibition of the incorruptibility of the people, the apostles of liberty and humanity may take a long breath, assured that, though constant and continued effort is ever neces sary, the crisis is passed, and the long agony and bloody strife of the past will yield, in the future, a sure and rich fruition, in a larger liberty, a stricter justice, a truer humanity, a more abundant prosperity. WIIITF.n SEPrWTIRES. Vice ever shields itself beneath the cloak of virtue. The father of lies doubtless in vented the subterfuge. It has been prac tised in all ages and has not been permitted to fall into disuse in these latter days. An dy Johnson and his parasites admonished by the people's anathemas have proven them selves but dull though willing students in the art ot clothing their crimes in the garb of virtue. Their latest effort in this line has been to order the prompt dismissal of all employes of the various departments whenever they shall have been discovered) to be fast livers, habitual tipplers or fre quenters of public resorts of ill repute of any kind. This is all very well ; but as long as the President and his friends continue to indulge in all the various excesses by which 1 hey have brought the White House into such ill repute their efforts to reform the departments, will avail hut little. They would succeed better br setting an example, before they begin to preach virtue to their official employes. From all accounts the White House at present is in more pressing need of a thorough purging from these evil practices than any other locality in Wash ington. It would he a good place to begin. Drain the fountain and the stream must of course fail. MORA I. ASPECT OF eOPPERHEADINM. The most striking illustration of the utter depravity of Coppcrheadism is seen in the election of John Morrissey, to Congress, in New York city. Perjury, bribery and the most revolting political corruption wc were prepared to see but tliata community having the least reniainingspark of virtue 01 -en.-c of shame should .o far forget itself a.s to insult the moral sense of the whole country by nominating, and electing to Ooncrt =, a man like Morrissey, the convict, jail-bird, prize lighter and keeper of a faro Lank in the purlieus of that modern Sodom, is a more deliberate display of cool contempt for all moral restraints, than our people were prepared to see exhibited, even by coppcr headism in its worst estate. The disgrace ful licentiousness and drunken revelries of Johnson, the open defiance of the law in Pennsylvania, the wholesale and deliberate perjury in Maryland, are fitly followed by the crowning disgrace of sending, to repre sent them in the Congress of the United States, and support the President's policy, one who has frequently been indicted as an accessory to murders, who has made a fortune at prize fighting, and faro gambling, and who has served his term in the peniten tiary. Worst of all, Morrissey is a true representative of the character, x as well as the politic*, pf the majority bifegoetit- TiSF. VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE 5 RECDXSTBHTIOS. Congress acted wisely in going to the peo ple on the basis of the amendments on the reconstruction question. The people have su-tained their representatives, with an emphatic apd overwhelming majority oi some 450.000, and the return of not only a fully su-fained but even increased strength in both houses. When Congress meets again, it will not be fainted hearted and doubting. It will not grope in darkness. The earthquake of the election has puri fied the atmosphere and driven the clouds from the political horizon. Henceforth the way is plain. The people and their repre sentatives have met face to face, they have seen eye to eye, they are joined hand in hand, and their hearts beat in unison. The peop'c have declared that loyal men shall trie the country and fix the terms of recon struction and they have appointed their rep resentatives to enforce the decree. Ihe recently rebellious States have it now in their power to accept the amendments and return to the councils of the nation, if they refuse to do this, there will he no dallying. The action of Congress will 1 e prompt, decisive, radical. The country is weary of uncertainty and suspense, andif the amendments are rejected, will sustain Con grass even to the extent of remanding the rebellion - States to a territorial condition, appointing over them Governors, and ruling them as ferrritories until they accept the lenient conditions offered them, enact con stitutions in accordance with the cardinal principle-of our republican institutions, and display ,ueh a spirit, of loyalty as shall enti tle them ouco more to a place in the sisterhood of States. t. The Republicans of Cumberland Val ley raised a club of twenty-iwo far the X< >v York Tribune a short time since, and for warded the money, but owing to some strange freak of the mail arrangements it did not reach its destination. We hope that our friends, with the a .i-tanee of the Tribune , will hunt up the lost funds, and that tiro Tribune will be sent regularly into that region, where for thirty years the op position to Democracy did not exceed ten or fifteen votes. At the last election the Re publicans polled 74 votes and with the as sistance of the Tribune and INQUIRER, we expect in a few years to come out square. THE PEOPLE'S VERDICT. —Andy John son appealed from Congress to the people. Tim peoplo have answered. From every State untainted by the virus of slavery comes the same response. An aggregate of 450,0' 0 majority reverberates in thunder tones from Maine to California the verdict of the people. Andy Johnson has beenweighed in the balance aDd tound wanting—wanting in honesty, in sobriety, in honor, in integri ty, in virtue, in loyalty and in patriotism. A DIFFERENCE. —The weak-kneed Re publicans who went over to Copperheadism, under the impression that "mv policy' was to be the winning card in the fall elections but who, now that they have seen the error of their ways, are coming back to the old party, are receiving hosts of most ungrateful wipes" from their new found friends. Here is a specimen on Henry Ward Beecher who, only a fow wenlcr ago iron ally petted by every Copperhead paper in the States : "Bcecherhas slid back into the Radical ranks, where he came from originally. No better could be expected from the Puritan ical. smooth-faced, glib-tongued AtninidaF Sleek, who on a certain well remembered occasion, had the impudence to nominate beast Butler as the next President of the United States. The Democratic party is better without these dodgers than with them. Never did the sun shine on a great er coward than this whiffling parson ol Ply mouth Church." . BITTER experience forces the I nion men of Maryland to the conviction at which their brethren of Louisiana arrived .through a bloody test —that impartial suffrage is the only defense iff the loyal, and the oniy cure for the rebel, in the South. The issue, so long evaded and postponed, has ripened in Maryland through the heat of a contest won at the expense of those who fought to save the State which others attempted to destroy. They can now well afford to set the justice of impartial suffrage against the wrong of this mishap ; we doubt if anything but defeat would have taught them, or any other large class of men in the South, the lesson. But it would be strange if the men of Mary land could not advance to the same views which even Judge lleagan, of Texas. ex- Secretary of the Confederacy, has had the sagacity to announce. — New York Tribune. BgrUA Toronto, C. W., dispatch says: The police authorities are instructed to cause the arrest and detention of all the suspicious characters in the city under the habeas cor pus suspense act passed last session. The act empowers magistrates to cause the ar rest of any person suspected of countenan cing or encouraging designs against the Gov ernment or people, and commit him to pris on, jhere to remain, without trial or bail, till the Sth of June next. Yesterday arrests began. Four men were committed ; James and John Dudley, Charles Cash and Alex ander Nicholson. The Dudleys profess to hail from Brooklyn, and are moulders by trade. Cash says he comes from Lanca shire, England, Nichobon from Scotland. It is cxpccu- J to be proved that Pudley i.i an assumed name, the proper one being ITone gan. TUE PRESIDENT SURPRISED BET NOT CONVERTED.—A Washington dispatch says: "It is understood that the President lias been assured so positively of certainty of success in New York by Thurlow Weed and others, if the course in relation to appoint ments marked out by them was followed, that lie firmly believed that State at least would indorse his policy. The defeat of Join Llogan in Missouri also considerably surprises him, as he regarded liis re-elec tion is unquestionable. His intimate per sonal and political relations with Mr llo gan makes bis defeat particularly unpalata ble. There is. however, no reason to -op pose that tlie emphatic condemnation of bis policy by the loyal States will induce him to change his course in regard to reconstruc tion. REEI S KINO, our diplomatic agent at Rome, had lately a conversation with the Pope, who seemed very much c mcerncd about the Fenians. Pio remarked that it would be for the advantage of all parties if the United States should take possession of Canada, and incorporate it into the Ameri can Union, rather than allow the Fenians to possess themselves of it. He thinks the Fenians can never do anything to affect the British rule in Ireland, but that they may turn their arms against Canada. Cardinal Antonelii, Mr. King says, is a cordial ad mirer of the policy of Mr, Johnson. —•, - LORD CLARENDON'S health is rapidly failing.

NEW YORK, NOV. 11.—The Tribune** dispatches up to midnight, make Fenton.'s majority 15,468. .Missouri, ST. Lor IS, NOV. 11.—Of the nine Con- V suian from this state, seven Radnjals are c rtainly elected. , . „ Our returns are .sufficiently full to render it certain that the Radicals will have a good working majority in both Houses of the Legislature, though the exact number is not yet definitely ascertained. Of the Representatives, according to the best information obtainable and the returns thus far received, we judge that eighty five Radicals have teen chosen, and twenty-three Conservatives, leaving twenty-seven districts to hear from. The Radical majority in the State, by Congressional districts, wiQ be about 23,000, but Jackson fell largely, and Anderson con siderably* behind t'ae ticket on the vote for School Superintendent. The Radical ma jority will be over 25,000. The returns elect Blair to the Legislature by 14 votes. Wisconsin. MADISON, NOV. 11. —Additional returns received here show the official vote of the different Congressional districts with highly gratifying; results. The Republican majori ty on the Congre. ional vote in this State, is not less than 20,000--a gain of over 100 per cent, on the vote of 1564. ChailesA. Eldridge, the only Copperhead in the delegation, will rejjrosont tho Fourth Congressional district. His majority is not large. The Legislature is more than two-thirds Republican, there being in the Senate twenty-two Union members and eleven Copperheads. In the House there arc seventy-four Republicans and thirty-six Democrats. Thi- will render the re election of Senator T. O. Howe to the Fortieth Con gress a certainty. Minnesota. S ST. PAUL, Nov. 11.—As returns continue to come in from the more remote counties they show large in creases in the heretofore reported Republican majorities. Donnelly's majority become - greater by every return. There are no Democrat c gains except in one or two counties. The State will give over 10,'Xff) Union majority. Illinois CUR 'A'10, Nov, 11. —T'RO Republican majority in Illinois will lie at least sixty thousand, and probably in excess of that number, i n the Democratic Congressional districts the official result has not yet been ascertained. G. B. Raurn has certainly been elected in the Thirteenth district; Kitchell has been defeated in the Eleventh di trict by S. S. Marshall, Copperhead; and A. -f. Burr. Copperhead, is probably elected in the Tenth district. In the Ninth district, the result is doubt ful, though the Copperheads claim the elec tion of their candidate, Lewis W, Boss, al though future returns may put a different face on the matter. Shelby .hi. Cullum, Republican, has gained the day in the Eighth district after a good fight. lowa. The official returns will show the .Repub lican majority in this State to be very nearly 40,000. " .Michigan. The latest returns from the State include 37 Counties and give G '•v.

The majority for Hasjey, Republican, In the Fifth Congressional District, is 921. That of Hill, Republican, in the fourth District, is 465, Iltiyler, the independent Democratic candidate, receiving less than 290 votes in the whole District.

Sussex county, Broad creek and Little creek united give Saulsbury 446 majority, a Union loss of 112. _ Cedar creek gives Riddle 7<i majority) aUsiou loss of 49. The whole of Kent county is -ti mated to give Saulsbuiy 932 majority. Maryland, BALTIMORE, November 9.— Allegheny county elects the Republican ticket for the Legislature, as do all the counties in Frank Thomas' district. The next Legislature will stand as follows: Senate, 16 Democrat.?; S House of Delegates, 59 l)om oerals to 21 Republicans. The presiding officer of the Senate, Lieut. Gov. Cox, will also act with the Democrats. The Repub licans only carry four counties in the State. This is reliable, and there will he no change from these figures.

NEW FORK, November 8. —The World has a losgurtide on < lections headed "What of the future?" ot wl ich the suUohied is the gist: These unfortunate elections deprive President Johnson of '.hat ought to have been the chief glorv <<t hi - adtninistr -.(ion: the paeiti ation of the country after the late bloody contest. It is idle to ask whether, hv greater promptitude ;u breaking with the Radicals, he mi. ht not have averted this mortification. He 111u.1l now take the situa tion as he finds it, an l make the best of it. Powerless during the A: due of his term, on all contested questions of domestic politics, his only chance of acquiring prestige is in connection witlioar foreign relations. They arc less subject to the control of Congress. The step.-, he m understood to be taking to resuscitate aiJl maintain the Monroe dec trine, will be. "warmly approved by the coun try. It wo aid be fatile for him to contend longer with the radicals in respect so the South, and. he will best consult the dignity of his office by 1 cting his action cease with hi resjiousibility. Against Congrc s there was no appeal hut to the people; and the passions of the war have not yet suffi •; mtly subsided to per mit them to judge with can dor.

A candid co-operation with (kingress ' on neutral questions, aud a dignified al-sti i notice from pushing a controversy in which he is poWi't lc -s. :. tho cours-- which Presi dent John-on will doubtless think it wi o to adopt.

They are expect; d to t ill back on tiie capital. Both the Juarez and Imperial Govern ments arcs exhausted in finances. Juarez is levying forced loans, extraordinary contribu tions and confiscating property. His hopes are dependent on the quantity oi Liberal loan taken by the United States Govern ment. He has greatly oppressed the Atner i an lv-ident . having taken $5,000,000 in cash, and they have sent a memorial lo Washington. Maximilian's prospects are very l ad. He must leave with the French. The Liberal generals and lawyers arc un d irstoou to favor Ortega, and only recog nize Juarez because he is recognized at Washington. Juarez has annulled the Loui iana-Teliauntepec grant, and made a new one lo othei Americans, who pay 3100,000 in cash and re-imburse the holders of the Sloo grant the money paid for it. A fine cotton crop has been made in Chihua hua. All northern Mexico, Durango. is in Liberal hands.
