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

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.

in perfect health, are on Government stamp.

More than ten thousand aggravated cases have (
