The struggle has been arduous, and the result doubtful; for the wealth and social power of the S ate were nearly all against us. Ihe Ihe -s was against us, bitterly, furiously, venomously. Even The. Richmond HA/?, which would be Republican if it durst, was coerced into supporting the "Conservative"' ticket at last. Probably not six journals in all, and they mainly new ones, stood unflinchingly by the Republican colors, while sixty 01 eighty were doing their utmost to defeat a Convention and to elect "Conservatives thereto. The leading organ of the Reaction called lustily on those Whites who employed Blacks to discharge every one who should vote the [Radical ticket; yet mm-ty ni- 'in every hundred Colored voters would 'c no other, and nineteen of every tw nty e d not be deterred from voting. And 1 1: every district which had a majority of t '1 orcd voters on its registry with several oth ers, has chosen Radicals to the Convention, giving us a clear majority of at least twenty delegates, and carrying the Convention by over Ten Thousand—perhaps by hventy Thousand Republican majority. Ihe White preponderance over the Blacks in the State exceeds Twenty Thousand men, of whom not more than Six Thousand arc dis franchised for couspicuou treason by the Reconstruction acts, and ti. ■ we tiust, will, upon giving evidence of present loyalty, soon be restored to all the righi- of freemen. It is instructive to note that the mo t Radical counties and districts are those which, in the times now happily past, were the strongholds of Slave-driving Democracy. Halifax, Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Louisa, Caroline, &c.,&c., were DemocraticCibral tars, when none but slaveholders and their white satellites were voters; but, now that the Laboring Class also vote, they are cita dels of Radicalism. Rockingham, Shenan doah, Page, Warren, Ac., which were Democratic without being preponderantly slaveholding, constitute the only notable ex ceptions to the general rule. \\ c may joy fully expect to see the districts heretofore represented in Congress by Meade, Goode, Dromgoole, and other vehemently pro-Sla very fanatics, henceforth honoring and bles sing the Republic by sending to her councils apostles of Liberty and Equal Rights for All. And it will be found that the Convention just elected is not only Radical, but, in the truest aemse, Conservative also. We did hope to see Gov. Peirpoint's name head tho Republican ticket in Richmond, for we be lieve it would have insured the choice of that ticket by a large majority, and would have been a pledge to the people generally that Liberty for All would be asserted and secured without giving just cause of alarm to any. Mr. Hunnicutt has probably said some of the harsh things about Rebel- that are attributed to him; but we are confident that, should he seek to inaugurate a policy of confiscation, or anything like it, lie would find himself in a very small minority. The Convention will strongly assert the Equal Rights of Men; but it will be moderate and cautious in so using the triumph of genuine democracy as not to endanger its perpetuity. Reconstructed Virginia takes her place among Republican States, and there she will remain. Her aristocracy, stimulated by ex aggerated reports of the recent achievments of its confederates in California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, did its very utmost to retain its ancient power and prestige, but, happily, in vain. Henceforth, Virginia, which em bosoms the ashes of so many gallant sons of the Republic, consecrates herself to tire maintenance of that Liberty and I nion which they laid down their lives to maintain. Long live the regenerated Old Dominion! — New York Tribune. THE Republicans have a majority in both branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and will control tho offices. For Speaker of the House, Elisha W. Davis, of Phils.; Thomas MoCamant, of Blair; and John Hickman ofChester, are named. For Clerk in place of Mr. Benedict, deceased, Gen. A. L. Russell, of Allegheny, late Adjutant- General, appears to have the inside track. Capt. E. H. Raueh, of Berks, (formerly Clerk,) and J. R. McAtee, of Westmorland (late Assistant Clerk,) and Gen. J. L. Sel fridge, of Northampton, are also understood to be candidates for the Clekship. Geo. W. Hammersly will of course be re-eleetcd Clerk of the Senate.

TUE BANNER. —The official election re turns of Luzerne county show a Republican gain of 1,230 on vote for Supicme Judge, over last year's vote for Governor.

THE President now consoles his Copper head friends with telling them that he will make all the changes they desire after the November elections. The Cops are not to be fooled in this way and they insist more earnestly than ever. Andy wants to receive the Con nomination and the Cops don't want him to receive it. They have an ele phant on hand, verily. _ . ir _.... --- THE Radical victory in Virginia a worse than Gettysburg to the Copperheads and their allies the late rebels. It settles the question of the Congressional policy of Re construction. All hail Virginia ? THE Mrs. Lincoln "old clothes" sensa tion is dying out. It is said she is shortly i to be married to a "eorrageous man." Wu believe both Morrissey and Ilecnan are wived, we cannot, taerefore, divine who is to be the lucky possessor of so much crino line and camel's hair. THE entire drift of public sentiment, from a Republican stand point, is in favor of Gen. Grant for tho next President. 'I h nio.-t extreme radicals Thaddeus Stevens, Win. D. Kelley and many others in this State are said to be favorable to him. Til PIMIOH I, A\VN. The press of the couutry is beginning to speak out upon the disgraceful delays which ch .racterize the granting of Pensions to widows and orphans. It is time that the attention of Congress were directed to this gross outrage. The following article from the Delaware County Republican is to the Congress will be required at its approach ing v. sion to revise and amend the laws el-anting pensions to the widows and or t-hans ot deceased soldiers. The manner in >ich these laws are at pioscnt administer . -inefficient as they arc —is a sad rofloc i ~! upon the intelligence ot public officers, i a disgrace to the age in which we live, i I e head of the department and the exam iners connected with it, arc deserving of much censure for their negligence in failing to perform the plainest functions of their offices. As in all the departments at Wash ington, there seems to be an unwillingness to investigate a majority of the eases brought forward. The granting of an allowance even to the most deserving, often occupies months [ years! before its adjustment. We admit that a certain degree of care should be exercised, but unnecessary delay is to be condemued. We do not assert that the office is under the control of the numerous pension agents that warm at the capitol, but we do say that the acts of those employed therein indicate such agency. The press should agitate an amend ment to the pension laws and a reform in their administration until both these impor tant objects are consumated. Ju.-ace with out tardiness must lie done to those who have been made widows and orphans by the late rebellion. Let Congress take up the subject at an early period of the session and so amend the laws granting pensions that those who administer them may not be in doubt as to the proper manner in which they should be disposed. Tilt I'IIESIDEStV. Speech by Hon. W. D. Kelley. At one of the numerous Ward meetings in Philadelphia, for the purpose of nomina ting Gen. Grant for the next Presidency, Hon. William D. Kelly was tho principal speaker. The following is a portion of his speech on the occasion:— It may not be inappropriate for me to re mark that I had no part in promoting this meeting. I was not consulted as to the pro priety of the measure, hut, like most of you, am here in response to the published call, to which are appende- 1 the names of some of the most thorough Radicals and most enter prising and .substantial business men of our ward. It afforded me pleasure to find my convictions of duty confirmed by those who signed the call, and I am here to express my approval of the nomination of General Grant for the Presidency. Mr. Kelley then said that he did not lie lieve in the doctrine of availability, which made Tyler and Johnson President; nor did lie consider the Domination of Grant neccs scry to secure a Republican victory. He -aid he would rather fall with a forlorn hope defending my principles than share any temporary triumph that might be achieved by abandoning the least important of them. Nor was lie in favor of making Grant Pres ident as a reward for his transcendent mili tary services. The Presidency could add no lustre to his official title of General of the armies of the United States, one which no one but Washington had borne before. _ General Grant will not only be available but irresistible as a candidate. But why L desire his nomination is that during his Presidency he will secure the enduring as eendaney of our principles by promoting the embodiment of the most advanced of them in statuary' and constitutional provisions, and in that surer guarantee of personal rights, the common and familiar usages of a numerous and free people. As President he will gather the fruits of tho many victo ries won by the armies he commanded, and I advocate his nomination because I desire a candidate who not only assents intellect ually to my principles, but recognizes the necessity of applying and enforcing them in the work ol reconstruction and the current life of the people. When, as your representative, I voted thanks to Generals Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, and Schofield, for the manner in which they were administering the affairs of their res pective districts, I proclaimed my approval of Grant's conduct of his part in the work of reconstruction, my knowledge of his har mony with Congress, and his fidelity in the enforcement of its acts, so far as their en forcement had been confided to him. I then knew that the lesson he had deduced from peisonal and official experience, since the surrender of the Confederate force.-, was that peace and general prosperity can be attained and perpetuated only by secur ing to the humblest citizen who has not for feited his rights by crime and equal voice in the affairs of the government under which he lives. When General Ord prohibited frecdmen from quitting the plantations on which they were employed to assemble, Gen. Grant promptly reversed tbe conservative order, but he generously sustained the district com manders I have named in every advanced step they took in the trying positions to which his confidence had assigned them. Of the generous support be gave them I speak from no common rumor. It has been my privilege to confer with all of them— with Sheridan at New Orleans, with Pope at Atlanta, with Schofield in the mansion of Jeff. Davis, in the capital of the late Confederacy, and with Sickles in our own city and elsewhere. Let who will doubt Grant's perception c ' the exigencies of the times, or his fidelity to the Congressional plan of reconstruction, it is no( Sheridan, nor Sickles, nor Pope, nor Schofield, nor the great War Minister whose courage and integrity Andrew Johnson could no longer abide. Yes, Stanton honors and confides in Grant in the same unstinted measure ac corded by the honored district commanders. Let us then inscribe the illustrious name of Ulysses S. Grant upon our standard, and emblazon around it in broad letters of gold our precious principles, not doubting that when the National Convention assembles it will approve and confirm our action by ac clamation LANCASTER COUNTY FOR GRANT.—The Republican County Committee of Lancas ter county, at a late meeting, adopted tbe following resolution: Resolved, That we, the Union Republican County Committee of Lancaster county, having full faith and confidence in the re publicanism of Gen. U. S. Grant, recom mend his nomination as the next Repub lican candidate for Prseident of the United States, and hereby pledge to hiiu the cordi a!, earnest support of the Republican party of Lancaster county. The Lancaster Republican papers have accordingly raised the name of the great hero to the head of their editorial columns. Address of the Tniou Republican State Ceuiral Committee. COMMITTEE ROOMS, NO, 1105 (.% a not St., Philadelphia, October 21st, 1807. Explanations of failuro are always less agreeable than congratulations upon success. At the same time the former may Is; as pro fitable as the latter, for the uses of adversity are manifold. Regarding the recent defeat of the Republican party as both a political misfortune and u national calamity, a short review of the facts and a few reflections thereon are deemed not out of place. The mo-t diligent and persistent efforts to arouse our friends from apathy, to impress upon tliem the importance of the contest, the danger of defeat* and tho necessity for action to avert it, failed to produce tho usual and desired results. The immediate cause of our failure is apparent from the official returns, compared with t hose offormer years: In 1865 the Republican vote was 238,400 " the Democratic vote wua 215,740 Total. 454,140 Maj. for liartranfi, Auditor Geucral 22.600 In 1866 the Republican vote was. ..307,274 " the Democratic vote was 200,006 Total, 507,370 Majority for Governor Geary, 17,178 In 1867 the Republican vote was .206,824 " the Democratic vote was 207,746 Total, 534,570 Majority- for Sliarswood, 922 It thus appears that the total vote cast iu 186G exceeded,that of 1.765, 143,330; and that the total vote of 1867 falls short of the vote of 1866, 62,800. On an examination of the details it further appears that the decrease this year is 40,710 on the Republican vote of 1866, and a de crease of only 22,090 on the Democratic vote of 1806. Or, in other words, there were over 18.000 tnore Republicans who did not go to the polls at the last election than there were Democrats. There arc eight counties in the State, viz; Allegheny, Rradford, Crawford, Erie, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, and York, in every one of which more Republican voters remained at home than were required to elect JUDGE WILL JAMS; and in both Allegheny and Philadel phia there were more than four times as many absentees as wore needed to give us the State. In no county except Philadel phia and forest (the latter by chauge of boundary line) did either party increase the vote of last year. It is hoped thc-e plain figures will teach Republicans the simple but important lesson that a mere numerical majority of voters will not carry an election, unless they are at the polls and vote on election day. General apathy, caused by an apparent fail ure to appreciate the importance of tlie contest, is tho primary cause of our defeat. Besides this, we had local difficulties and side issues to contend against, sufficient of themselves to destroy us. We lost votes in many places by reason of the legislation of last session, and on the apprehension of negro Suffrage: and in Philadelphia on the questions of city taxation, and what is known a- the Sunday car qui -tion, and by sundry frauds. And worse than all these, our friends there nominated a ticket for city offices, not acceptable to our people, mainly because it had no soldiers upon it. The soldiers themselves, to their credit be it recorded; stood manfully to their princi ples, and voted with us as heretofore. But large- numbers of their friends would not support the ticket; and in every Republican precinct in the city there were from fifteen to one hundred and fifty ofour friends who refused to vote. Thus we lost Philadelphia and consequently tho State. The defeat of so worthy a candidate as HENRY \Y. WILLIAMS is a humiliation to which our friend- who staid at home should net have subjected us. They have been un faithful to the great principles for which we have struggled and suffered together during the last six years; aud they have imposed upon us additional labors aud tri als for the future, which a proper discharge of duty now would have averted. But, let us "never despair of the Repub lic." Reconstruction on the basis of uni versal liberty and impartial justice must yet be accomplished; and there can be DO doubt tho Union Republican party is as strong to day, on all great National issues, and as de termined to accoinpli.-h its mission, as at any time during tbe late six years. Our duty is plain; and is well stated in a recent private letter from our standard bearer in the Into contest, as follow . "Instead of being uis pirited we should gird up our loins, and burnish our armor, for the next year's Presi dential contest, and make such use of this defeat as to secure a decisive and overwhel ming victory." Many thanks to those who so nobly did their duty in the late canvas ; and as to those who did not, the earnest hope is in dulged that ibey will make ample amends horeaftcr.

Ihj the President of tin I nitcd States— A Proclamation. —ln conformity with a re cent custom that may now be regarded as established on national consent and ap proval, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to my fellow-citizens, that Thursday, the 28th day of November next, be set apart and observed throughout the republic as a day of National Thanksgiving and praise to tho Almighty Ruler of nations, with whom are dominion and power, and whotnaketh peace in his high places. Resting and refraining from secular labors on that day, let us rev cntly and devoutly give thanks to our heav enly Father for the mercies aud blessings with which He has crowned the now closing year. Especially let us remember that He has covered our land with greatly needed and very abundant harvest; that He has caused industry to prosper, not only in our fields, but also in our workshops, iu our mines, and in our forests. He has permit ted us to multiply ships upon our lakes and rivers, and upon the high seas, and at the same time to extend our iron roads so far into the secluded places of the continent and to guarantee speedy over-land inter course between the two oceans. He has in elined our hearts to turn away from domes - tic contentions and commotions, consequent upon a distracting and desolating civil war, and to waik more in the ancient ways of loy alty, conciliation, and brotherly love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts with whbh we have established new and important commercial treaties with foreign nations, while we have at the same time strengthen ed our national defenses, and greatly en larged our national borders. While thus rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tribute of national praise and thanksgiving, which is so iustly due to Al mighty God, let us not fail to implore lliiu that the same divine protection and care which we have hitherto so undeservedly and yet so constantly enjoyed, may be con tinucd to our country and our people throughout all their generations forever. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused tho seal of the United States to be affixed.

PARIS, Oct. 27—The Monihur issued yesterday evening unuounccs to the public, in its oUieiul column, that in view of the fresh invasion of the Papal territory, and the renewal of the attempts of the revolu tioriists on Rome, the Emperor Napoleon has repeated his order for the force of' ex peditionary tioops already mustered at Toulon to embark for the Roman waters. TOULON, Prance, Oct. 26.— The French fleet of iron clad war vessels destined for service in the Roman waters left ( this port under an imperial order at six o'clock this morning.

DENVER, Oct. 15. —The official abstract of election returns for 1807 shows a large in crease of '.ho popular vote throughout the Territory, a large majority for the Republican party in both branches of the Legislature, ;ia well us on the popular vote. The Council will stand as follows:—8 Republicans, 4 I>a ' mocrats, and 1 Independent Republican. The House will stand :—lf> Republicans, 'J Demo crats. and 2 Independent Republicans. The total popular vote is 9349, agivust G'Kl6 last year, when a delegate to Congress was elect id. Ati analysis of this vote shows the follow ing result on Connciimen : Republican, 4458; Democratic, 4046; Independent Re publican. 467 ; scattering, 381. Democrats is 112, and the combined vote of straight and independent Republicans gives a majority of 876 over tbe Democracy, an increase of 768 over last year, when Chilcott's majority over Hunt was only 108. These facts arc exceedingly gratifying, and demonstrate that Colorado is now, as always, thoroughly Republican. The issue of the last election turned almost entirely on national politics, and the exhibit as made in these offi cial returns is all that is needed to place Co lorado on the side of Congress and freedom. Another fact to be noticed is the population which thia vote shows. The usual estimate is from five to seven persons fo'rone voter. This would give us a population of from 46.7 15 to 64,113. If the latter is said to be too high, it is to be remembered that in many of our distant precincts not over one-half of the legal voters go to the poll-, on acount of tbe great distance to them. This fact ought to enable us to claim the largest estimate of seven per sons to a voter, which should place our popu lation at not far from 65,060. — Denver Sates. GEN ULL AI. NEWS ITEMS.
