The chapter of mur ' ic., which we this "J ' PNOT 18 BUT A S ®H part of the history of a UDgle WEEK in the Southern states. To A greater or less extent the same thing has •"I ttoiug on CVEV SINCE Andrew Johnson BCTRAJ-ED his trust and began to league him SI with the late rebels and their sympathi sers. Thousands of union men white and black, women and children, have been starved, tortured and murdered by these fiends, and still the bloody work goes OR. Yet in the face of it all, every effort of the government to establish law and Old-I and bring criminals to Justice is met by Nor thern copperheads with the cry of radical oppression. The confident assurances of northern copperhead papers and leaders that their success was certain seem to have encouraged these southern Thugs to increas ed activity in reducing the number of union vcters by murdering them as rapidly as possible. Yet Andrew Johnson and his minions sit unconcerned or indifferent and make no effort to prevent 01 stay this reign of terror, aud the Copperhead party, his ally, has not only no word in behalf of the sufferers, but on the contrary incites and encourages the bloody work. There is no salvation or protection for the southern people exoept in the rigid enforcement of the reconstruction laws. This can not be done under Andy Johnson, and the copper head platform pledges the party and its leaders to the total overthrow and nullifica tion of all the reconstruction measures. In this emergency Union men, and all who de sire peace and security for persons and property and freedom cf speech and per sonal liberty, look for the election of Grant and Colfax as their only hope of redemption from the anarchy and bloodshed that now reign throughout the Southern States. Let the people remember when they go to the polls on Nov. 3d that the blood of the murdered union men of the South and their widows and orphansfory to us for protection, and that protection for them can only be secured by the election of Grant and Colfax and the enforcement of the laws. THE ELECTIONS. The latest returns as we go to press give the following Republican majorities. Penn sylvania 10,254, Ohio 20,752, Indiana, 14,- 2'J, Nebraska, 2000, Dakota Territory also wheels iuto line and elects a Republican delegate to Congress by a majority of sev eral hundred. These figures may yet be somewhat chaDged by the official returns. The official returns in tho 21st Congression al District defeat Covode by a majority of 41. The scat will be contested by Covode as he alleges that several hundred fraudu lent votes can be proven. He will doubt less eventually obtain the seat as there is 110 doubt whatever he is legally elected. CONGRESS met on the 16th and adjourned until Tuesday, November 10th. In the Senate only Messrs. Wade, Cameron, Cole and Patterson, of Tennessee, were present. In the House of Representatives, beside Speaker Colfax, there were present Messrs Lincoln of New York, O'Neill of Pennsyl vania, French ofNorth Carolina, Prince and Edwards of Georgia, Beck of Kentucky, Kitchen of West Virginia, Corley and Goss of South Carolina, and Kavanaugh of Mon tana.

Both these companies, when they parade, make rather an ostentatious- display of their private sentiments by carrying Confederate flags. This is honest, at least, if not loyal. If the New Orleans "Democrats" go on in this frank and manly way, we promise to be among the first to advocate their right to change their name, and to march under the title of "The Blair and Seymour Rattle snakes." This is a more honorable appel lation than that of Copperhead, that sly serpent giving no warning of his attack, but pretending ail the time to be a very well behaved and patriotic reptile. To be sure, Blair as a Guide doe-n't suggest very straight walking, and Seymour as a Guard wouldn't be the best possible defense agaiust the Ku-Klux Ivlansuien; but then we like candor, and confess that the New Orleans warriors have fairly forewarned us.— N-rw York Tribune. NATIONAL THANKSGIVING. The President's Proclamation. WASHINGTON, October 14.-— President Johnson has issued following proclama tion: In the year which is now drawing to its end the art, the skill and the labor of the people of the United States have been em ployed with greater diligence aud vigor and on broader fields than ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been gathered into the granary and tho storehouse in marvel lous abundance. Our highways have been lengthened, and new and prolific regions havebeeQ occupied. We are permitted to hope that long pro tracted political and sectional dissensions are, at no distant day, to give place to re turning harmony and fraternal affection throughout the republic. Many foreign States have entered into liberal agreements with us, while nations which are far off, and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends. The annual period of rest which we have reached in health and tranquillity, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is, by universal consent, a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practis ing public devotion. I therefore, recommt-nd that Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of November next, be set apart and observed by all the people of the I nited States as a day lor public praise, thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty Lreotor and Divine Ruler of the universe by whose ever watchful, merciful and grt> cious providence alone state-) tad n.'jions no less than families and individual m 0 do move and live and have their Uir-, In witness where of I have Lrreunto sot my hand and caused the seal o# the UwitcJ States to be affixed.

C.: Edward Mallory, a colored man, has com plained to me that on Thursday night last a number of white men, armed, went to his house, near Tally Ho, Granville Co., took him and his wife out of their bed. tied them nnxi whippctl thcui One of the men, also, with a knife mutilated his right car. Edward Mallory has reported himself in person to my office, and I have seen the lasfics and bruises on his body, and his multilatcd ear. I learn also that on the same night the same body of men inflicted injuries on several other inoffensive adored people. In one case they"dragged a colored woman from her bed, thinking no doub they had a certain colored man who is an active Republican, and the woman breaking loose from them, they fired upon her, wounding her seriously in the shoulder and head. It is the duty of the sheriff, the magistrate.-, and all peace officers to maintain the law and see that the people are protected in their persons and propertv. When process prop erly issues to you from a magistrate, you have at your command the whole power of the county to execute it. The civil power must first be tried and exhau-ted before the military can be called in. Your authority and power are ample for this purpose. You are hereby directed to proceed to the neigh borhood in which these outrages occurred, with pToper process issued by a Ju-tice of the Peace on the oath of Edward Mallory, arrest these desperadoes, and see that they arc properly bound to answer for theircrime. I have heard that some of the magistrates in Granville are not prompt to act when cases like these are laid before them. Ed ward Mallory informs me that a magistrate declined to act in his ease, but refered him to me. If I should have clear proof that any magistrate declines to do his duty, hut allows such outrages to be committed and the criminals to go at large, I will at once revoke his commission, and have it known of record that he is unworthy of his place. These colored people must be roteeted. I will not sit here unmoved and .oactive when they cry for justice and protection against men whose treatment , as in the cause of Ed ward Mallory, is a disgrace to civilization. If, in enforcing the law, you should need aid, let me know it'. I have full confidence in your firmness, descretion and judgment. Magnify the law in the neighborhood refer red to, and teach those who have thus cruel ly violated it a lesson they will not soon forget. Mi souri. FRANK BLAIR DECLARES THAT GRANT WILL NEVER LEAVE THE WHITE HODsE ALI.rVE ST LOUIS, Oct. 17. —General Frank P. Blair, Jr., arrived here yesterday from Cin cinnati, and last evening addressed some 3,000 people for half an hour from the piazza of his residence. He thanked them for the ovation extended him by old friends. He came before them not dismayed or discour aged. Alluding o recent radical victories, he regarded them as precursors of the defeat of that party. The Democracy would yet win. They hat. everything at stake in this struggle, and if they failed the repub lic would fall with them. A military dicta torship would be established, and Grant would never leave the Presidential man sion alive. He announced that he now expected to _ continue to be a candidate for Vice Presieent, but was ready to make any sacrifice if the people demanded it. The audience greeted htm with euthusiasm. Arkansas. KU-KLUX KLAN MURDER PINE BLUFF. Ark. . Oct. 17.— J. Dollar, a Deputy-sheriff of Brew County, an old and worthy citizen, while out serving subpoenas, last night, was tied to a negro, and both were shot dead by the Ku-Klux Klan. Tennessee. KU-KLUX OTTRAGE. MEMPHIS, Oct. 17.—The captain of the steamer Hesper, which was captured on Thursday, reports that the party who seized the arms came alongside on a tug boat, not making their appearence until within a few yards of the steamer, when they commenced firing indiscriminately, and yelling "Ku- Klux," a number of the shots taking effect. SECOND DISPATCH. The distraction of arms aboard the steam er Hesper still causes much excitement. Democratic papers assert that they were destroyed by the Radicals for the purpose of makiDg political capital, and also that the anus were not the property of the State of Arkansas. Republican papers on the other hand assert that the arms were de coy ed by the Ku-Klux. The following partieu ii*'. of the seizure have been obtained. Oa Thursday afternoon the tug Nellie Jones, Capt. John Ford, left her wharf for Dickering, haying a barge in tow. She reached her destination and landed a line, but had scarcely made fast before the spot was covered with men securely uiatikcd and probably one hundred in number. They quick]v boarded the tug. took possession of the pilot house ami engineer's room, order ed one of the crew to cast off the line and in a tew minutes the tug was rapidly steaming down the river. Upon taken possession the new Com mander kept a vigilant eye on the crew, not allowing any one of them to leave his post, and the engineer was not allowed to oil the machinery. When approachiogCot Island, twenty-five miles bciow, and near the Ar kansas shore, Captain Ford was ordered to run alongside the steamer Ilesper, which was tied up and taking on wood. During the trip the leaders of the party informed Ford they intended overhauling the Ilesper and destroying her arms, but strict orders had been issued to bis men to bartn none, and to respect property. In obeyance of orders, Captain Ford ran the lug alongside, which was no sooner accomplished than leaving tw of their number in the pilot house, two in the engine room and one in tho cabin as guard, the latter, one of the crew who had insulted the leader of the veiled party, suddenly sprang the Ilesper. Little or nothing was said to the board ers, who evidently had an eye to business and placed the crew under surveillance and commenced the work in hand. The gun hoses were broken up, and guns taken out and thrown into the river, many of the guns being broken before being thrown over. A large quantity of arannition in the hold, marked "sundries," was also thrown over board, and the party quietly returned to the tug, leaving the Ilesper in possession of her crew. Captain Houston and his brother made for the woods as soon as the vessel was seen. At midnight the tug readied Point Pindcnt 1 -land, below tho city, and was run aground, and the boarders taken on shore in a skiff, which ihey signalled. Strict orders were given to Captain Ford > remain behind until daylight, and his tig returned here this morning. Louisiana. KU Kl.rx OUTRAGES—TWO PROMINENT Of- FICIALB ASSASSINATED AND MURDERED.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN TEXAS—MUKDSR OF THE HON. GEO. W. SMITH—QI AS TRELL'S GANG DISARM THE U. S. TROORj. GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 11. —lutclHgctte has reached here to dav of the brutal murdbr at Jefferson, Texas, on the sth inst., of lie Hon. George W. Smith, delegate to tie Au-tiu Convention from Marion County, Northern Texas. Capt. Smith was well known to all our Republicans, and especially his fellow members of tbc Constitutional Convention, as a young man of more than ordinary ability, purely Republican in senti ment and lee'iing, honest and zealous in his duties, and of whom it might well be said, '"Behold a man, indeed, in whom there is no guile." It seems that Capt. Smith, having arrived at his home in Jefferson, Marion County, was at once marked by the Rebel desperadoes therein as a proper sub ject for their brutal, murderous hands. The Captain was tracked, threatened, and told to leave the town. Ilis very luggage, arriving per stage, was taken by a gang of desperadoes, and its contents were scattered and destroyed. Being a brave man, an ex- Federal officer, and au American citizen, Mr. Smith would not yield to Rebels, paroled prisoners of war, whom his own stout heart had helped to subdue. He, therefore, remained, spoke to his constitu ents of his action in the Convention, and the work accomplished in that body. He was listened to with attention, but on starting away, he with his friends were fired upon in the streets by an armed mob of Rebel ruf fians. With much difficulty Capt. Smith retired fighting his wf thronsh to tho headquarters of Major Curtis, 11. S. A., who commanded a small detachment of troops ai this point. Here it was supposed this brave man, with his friends, would he protected: that notwithstanding the armed mob which raged defiantly in the town, yet no outrage could occur. But these des peradoes (a part of the (juantrell gang who have all along been atrocious, especially since the death of the lamented Gen. Griffin) have learned to despise our Federal soldiers. They attacked Major Cut tis and his guatd, who wore protecting Mr. Smith, and, strange to relate, Major Curtis suffered his men to be disarmed before any were killed. Capt. Smith, with his friends (freedmt-n!, were taken out by the fiendish mob. Mr. Smith fought to the last with a desperation born to the brave soul an ! ready hands of a soldier, but unavailing. His body was rid dled with bullets. Ttie freedmen were shot —murdered iu the pre once of the troop-1 It must now be evident, even to tho unready and feeble military commandant of litis dis trict, that the fear of delegates to go home was well founded Capt. Smith, whom (ho writer knew well, has been in Texas since lst>s, coming hither in the army. He was formerly from Michigan, was of a quiet, gentlemanly demeanor, and up to the time of his election to the Convention was not particularly disliked by the Rebels of Jeffer son, where the Captain settled after his muster out of the army. As a merchant Mr. Smith had credit d goods to the amount of $6,000 or $7,000 to many of the Rebel residents of his adopted town; and probably, in seeking for cause, ibis may have had as much to do as aught else with the motives his brutal murder. BALTI.WOttE AGAIN DISGRACED. Within the past ten days, on four several occasions, passengers passing through Bal timore from Washington on their way to Philadelphia have been assaulted and beaten, and some of them thrown out of the cars. The perpetrators of tbe.-e outrages were not arrested, the poor plea being made that, the ruffians were too numerous tor the police present. This might have been sufficient for the first occasion, but its repetition night after night not only reflects shameful neglect on the part of (be Police Department, but also on the railroad com panies that have allowed their passengers io be thus outraged. The character of the city is at stake in this matter, and no partisan feeling ought to allow the police to shield themselves under such a uii.-etable plea as want of numbers, when the I'oiee has been nearly doubled since it passed into the con trol of the present Police Commissioners. About one o'clock on Tuesday morning a de-patch was received at Tile American office from Philadelphia informing us that Mr. John C. Clary, of Washington, had teen diagged through the window of a car at the President Street Depot, and taken to the police station. On proceeding to the Eastern Station the gentleman alluded to was found with a scalp wound about five inches in length, and a cut in the neck wit h a knife, his clothes being bespattered with blood. His wounds had been dressed by a physiciau, aud no charge being alleged against him he was conveyed to a hotel, the officers informing us that he had been resetted from his assailants and brought to the Station for protection, but none of the assailants had been arrested. We publish in another column an account furnished by some of the passengers to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which coincides with the particulars of this outrage given by Mr. Clary. There is, we regret to say, but little or no exaggeration in the statement. It will be seen it is vouched for bv a number of highly respectable citizens of Philadelphia, and is viewed abroad as a repetition on a smaller scale of the dreadful Rebel tragedy of the ltih of Aptil, 1861. The object of this brutal outrage was to prevent Republican clerks and others tem porarily employed, in Washington from going to Philadelphia to vote. A young man on the Washington train, who is engaged in selling papers, and who takes every occasion to insult Republican passengers, appears to have been in collusion with the ruffians. (Jn approaching tbe city ho went around to take a vote of the passengers, the object be ing evidently to spot the Republicans, that the assailants might know who were their friends and who their opponents. The scheme was successful, and on passing c ' ty an e *-police officer of W a&lmigton pointed out the victims, who had unwittingly proclaimed their political predilections in favor of Grant and Colfax. —Baltimore American. DUMAS.—A correspondent of the Boston Commercial Bulletin says; "Dumas is extremely obese, and moves about with great difficulty. He is a man of powerful frame, as well as mind, and labors almost incessantly with his pen. His features are decidedly African, and his wool ly hair reminds us in ilsgrayness of the old Uncle Tom. As age grows npon him hu becomes the victim of peculiar whims and fancies; he cooks his own food, conducting the culinary ceremony with a religious ex actitude, and is always satisfied with his cuisine productions. When he eats, and that is very irregularly and seldom, he ap parently enjoys his food. After bis meals be returns to bis chair dictates to the young lady until nature prevails and he drops off into a calm slumber. He scarcely ever re tires to a bed, but sits and sleeps an hour or two, and instantly upon awakening calls for his amanuensis and proceeds with his work. "At president he is engaged in writing a Review of the Havre Marine Exposition, which is published in weekly numbers, anew novel of a few hundred pages, and two plays for threatres in Paris. With this wotk before biui, aud being pestered with .-cores of French exhibitors for notices in his Review, his time is fully occupied.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody a- a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universailv adopted into use, in every country and aur.ong all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far inoie effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cur d them; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it dews, once it does al ways—that it never fai a througn' any fault or neglect of its compositto.i. We have upon thousands of certiti ates of their remarkable cures of the following con plaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adap'ed to all ages and con ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while be>ng purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their owerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by coi rectiog, wherever they exist, such derangements as ar the hrst origin of dis ease. Minute directions aro given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For Dyspepsia or Indiyestion, Listlessness, Lan guor and Lot* of Appetite they should be taken moderntely to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to coriect the diseased action or remove the obsti ac tions which cause it For Dysentery or Diarrhtx , bat one mild dose is generally required. For Hhenmatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back aud Loins, they should he continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. WUh inch change these complaints disappear. lor Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a large dose sho aid betaken a." it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill , take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system, llence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
