Rejoicings at the Home of our President
Elect —The GeneraJ Visited by his Fellow-
Citizens—His Response to their Hearty
Greetings.
Wednesday, Noy. 4 —1:! Mid
night.—This has been the proudt st even
iug all the history of Galena. The city,
lwretothre Democratic, yesterday gave a
majority fin• lifr distinguished citizen, Gen.
S. Grant, for President of the United
States. The county gives him a larger
majority by four hundred than it gave to
Mr. Liitcoln in ISti4. This magnificent
result, together with the triumphant elec
tion of ( hffleral (haunt, was celebrated here
this evening by it grand torfidight proces
sion, bonfires, illtuninations, and other
demonstrations of joy. The Galena Tan
ners, with two bands of music and It pro
cession of' citizens numbering several thou
sand, marchefl to the residence of General
( ;rant, infront of which a splendid display
of fireworks was sent up, after which three
rousing cheers were giVetl for the President
elect. In response to repeated calls, the
tiuneral stepped out upon the piazza and
' addressed the multitude as Billows :
Frivads foul hi //ofv- , iti.f.(ns ff . f Gok int :

kindness. Suflivient, I suppose, has now

At the conclusion of this first speech of

deafening cheers for General Grant, after
which they proceeded to the residence of

GENERAL GRANT.
HON. EDWARD M'PHERSON,
Clerk of the C►dted States house of Representatives.
NASBY.
Presidential Eleetion—The News Reaches
Kentucky—The X Roads in Mourning.
POST OEMs, CONFEDIUT X ROADS (Wich
is in the State uv Kentucky.) N()v. 5, I.so.
Bad news travels fast. We hey heerd from
motif of the States to know that till' butcher
Grant—he wick wunst atbre stood in 11m way
of the Confederacy—her been elected Pr4.si
dent, and that Seymour and Blare, our glori
ous standard bearers, hey been deb ated
ignominiously.
'lids ends it! This finishes it! There is no
longer hope for Dimocrisy. Our star is sot
in gloom. Never steel I forgit the ghastly
appearance of Deekin Pogrom's taco, e 7, the
fatal nooze was told him. A single tear
rolled from his left eye, down his furrowed
cheek—it glittered for a brief moment on the
tip uv his brillyant nose, and plunged oll• into
space! How like our hopes! Never a word
sed he, but sadly beckoned me to fuller.
Sadly he walked to the square, nniurnlnlly
he pulled down the Confederit flag which hez
waved from the pole in front of Bascom's,
tenderly he folded it, and placed it limier the
barl uv whisky in the ba•. " Thar let it
rest," gasped he in a husky tone, "it will
never kiss the breezes no more." And over
come with emoshun, the good old man
bursted into a flood uv teers, with saved his
life. The drain uv moisture from his system
made it necessary for him to take suthin to
fill its place, and that sutLia wuz strength
min. To save him I took sothin strength
enin too.
And Ben Butler is elected. That excel
lent convcrvative Richard 11. Dana, who Las
forgotten that ruffled shirts went out of date
20 yeers ago, and who still reads the 1Vit.414-
n,el Intelligeneer sposin it to be a Whig
paper, is defeated, aml Butler, who wunst
hung a Demokrat in Noo Orleens, and who
wood do that same every miirnin to give
Lint all appetite, is fastened onto this here
wunst happy but now distracted county fur
two yeers more.
Grashus 11evins send the yaller fever b)
the Corners now, and finish us up to wunst.
I won't say a word ez to the cause uv
this terrible defeat. Seymour would make
speeches, with hez alluz bin fatle to Presi
denshul aspirants, and Blare would write
terrible letters, wich is just ez bad. Besides,
Blare fairly represents us, wich drily off all
decent people, and Seymour rather prides
hisself on bein a gentleman, wich chilled
the ardor of our own patty. The nomina
shells were untbrchnit, but don't reproah
'cm. It's fate.
I sigh, Deekin Pogram sighs, and the rest
of our cirldc wood sigh, only they heven't
returned from Injeany, where they hey gone
to vote in the interest of the Constitooshen,
and to aid in the maintainanee ny the laws.
sigh! I hey reason to sigh. For Pollock
will git the Post OEN after all. Tho his
hands are contaminated by bein taken into
the bands uv niggers—his hands wieh
handles hanker and draws molasses, and is
consequently degraded by earnin his own
livin—his hands will pass out to Deekin
Pogrant the paper whit the Corners takes!
The Deekin, ez he thought uv this, bust into
leers agin. "I she] stop that riper," sez he,
"and the Corners stud go hack into the
darknis uv ignorance. I slid never agin go
tin• a letter—nor will I ever hey one written
liu• Inc to anybody. When a Ablishn fac..
is at the general delivery, I shot stop pater
nizin the Post 011 is!"
Will the now Adminislration deprive a
whole community tw ft paper inertly to give
one uv its supporters a posislum? We steel
Ilut , I cookl entl(mr the loss of lily posishen
—for prinsiple I kin look inatertlom squarely
ill the face—hut I see other and more terri
ble results Ibllowin this, catastrophe.
\Vat uv the niggers? \Vat uv us? e steel
hey at our poles, all OW the black cusses who
live between here and Garrett stow'', a votin
ez regler ez though they white men.
We suet hey cm detilin the sacred ballot-box
ez Ow they WU% not uv a cussed race. I see
dark lines atitre our poor State. They will
hereafter hold the land wick they hey bought,
and they will increase and multiply. Pollock
will buy their prodoose and they will work
and get money. This money they will lend
to us—for we must hey it to sustain lite—
and they will take mortgages onto our land.
( When I say 0 r, I mean Deekin Pograin
and skit.) Ez we never work ourselves,
and will not hey, under the present arrange
ment, the means uv et unpellin the labor
necessary to our support, we kin never pay;
and the result will be, this beautiful land uv
()urn, wich we so deerly love, will pass out
try the hands uy the stronger and better race
into the control uv a weaker and less power
ful people.
The Deekin was remarkin suthin tti this
effect, when .toe Bigler miliaria in reply,
that the Deekin bed better throw himself
onto the sympathy of his sons.
a. Why, they can't work any more than I
kin," sed the Deekin.
'• I don't mean your poor white sons !"
sed this terrible Bigler. Thaw ain't uy 110
iikkolllll. But in the nigger settlement at
;arrettst own, you hey more than twenty who
wood—"
The poor Deekin rushed out ov the room,
while Bigler loft his most feendish latt
The people will be deprived uv their inno
cent amoosements. l'his Grant will send on
armed hirelins, clothed in ojus 11100, With
muskets and Bich, who will prevent our
shootin niggers, and who will pertect on titer
farms and in ther shops the ojus Notherners
Who have settled in our midst. We slid
see the gellorious Southern system decline
shrilly and shoofly. The whippin posts will
rot, and the stox will decay—the yelp uv
dor!.fs \vill no more be heerd, and the cheer
ful crack tiv the pistol and the shreek uv the
man what has got his gruel, will no more be
beerd in all the land. Bascom, after he 11Cz
the fi'w Nrms still unmortgaged in the visin
it y, will close and go to Looisville, and em
hark into a wholesale grocery trade and jine
the church, and give li brolly to tinnily
skools; his groscry will full into decay, and
the sine will hang by one hinge. We shel
see churches and shoolhouses, factrys and
villages everywhere. The Popgram place
uv 2,000 akers will be divided up into twenty
frms, and on them farms will be the bustlin
Nio Yorker, the cool, calculatin Yankee,
the stiddy, hard-workin German—who will
display his grovelin nacher by workin him
self, inst id of forcin niggers to do it for him.
We shel he run over with skoolmarms, del
uged with academies, plastered over with
noosepapers, stunned with machinery, drove
crazy by the whirr, crash and clash uv mow
in machines and reapers. And there will be
cheese made at the Corners. Pennibacker's
distillery will be turned into a cheese factry,
and weak whey will run wher now the
genrous high wines flash along the troughs.
Titer will be no rectifyin at the Corners—
the hog pens will be abolished, and in titer
stet will lie skool houses. And methinks I
see in my mind's eye, Horasho, the sperit,
lite ghost tiv the departed Pogram, (for he
wont survive it long,) a hoverin over the
scene, ez llamlick's hither did. The blessid
shade will look in vain tOr his house—on the
spot w her it stood will be an academy. He
will turn to Bascom's, but titer he will find
a deestrick skule. "To Pennibackers!" he
will gasp in a sperit whisper, and with a
speritooal smack uv his speritooal lips lie
will hover over it, but the smell UV cheese
in the place uv the strengthin odors in which
lie delites, will send a speritooal shudder
thro him. A gost uv a tear will run down
his speritooal nose, linger for a minnit at the
tip like a dew drop on the rose, and fall !
Then will the dissatisfied gost demand to be
taken back to purgatory, a place less tryin
to his nerves.
Deckin Popgram llcz only britont'd up
wunst.
thot flashed over his mind wielt gave
him eaufort fin• a minnit. "Isn't titer a
Booth for Grant ez ther WU. for Lipkin ? "
askt he.
" Ali !" sed I in alarm, " wood you kill
Grant to hey Colfax in his place ? We mite
kill Colfax, say you. Alars ! sposn they'd
elect Sunnier cr. President uv the Senit. Kill
Sumner ? Good Lord, no ! They'd then
elect Butler Speaker uv the House, and he
can't be killed. No ! No ! We lied better
bear the ills we hey, than to fly to them we
know not uv. Its gone. All is up with me
and us. I shel stay in Kentucky fir the
present, tho wat may become uv me the
Lord only knows.

THE DUTCH JUDGE'S DECISION.
Here is a decision by a learned Dutch
judge :
Mistier Foreman and toiler jurymans—
Der brisoner, Vleekter, vinished his game
mit der sheriff, and has peat him, but I shall
Baku care he don't peat me. Hans has been
dried for murder pefore you, and you must
pring in der verdick, but it must pe cordin
to der law. De man he kilt wasn't kilt
at all, as it was broved he is in der jail at
Morrisdown for sheep sdealing. Put dat
ish no madder. Der law says ven dc•re ish
a ton't you give um to der brisoner, put here
ish no ton't—so you see der brisoner ish
Pesides, he is a great loafer. I haf
hnowd him %illy year, and he hasn't tone a
stlitch of work in all dat dimes, and dere is
no one dettendin on him for der livin, and
Le ish no use to nopoty. I clink it would
lc Boot blans to hang him for de examble.
I dirk, Mr. Voretuans, dat he peller pet
next fouri of July, as tier militia ish going
to drain in anoder county and der would be
no vtut goin on here.
A NtAN coming home late one night, a
little more than "half seas over," feeling
thirsty procured a glass of water and drank
it. In doing so he swallowed a small ball
of silk that lay in the bottom of the tumbler,
the end catching in his teeth. Feeling some
thing in his mouth. and not knowing what
it was, he began pulling at the end, and the
little ball unrolling. he soon had several feet
in his hands, ant! still no end apparently.
Terrified, he shouted of the top of his voice,
"Wife ! wife ! I say, wife, come here ! lam
all unraveling !"
A waggish journalist Willi is often merry
over his personal plainness, tells this story
of himself: " I went to a chemist the other
day for a et ;se or morphine lin• a sick friend.
The assistant objected to give it to me With
out a prescription, evidently fearing that I
intended suicide. " Pshaw!" said I, "do I
look like a man who would kill himself?"
Gazing steadily at me a moment, he replied,
" I don't know. It seems to me it I looked
like you I should be tempted to kill myself."

A PRISONER FOR FIFTY YEARS.
M. Andreoli, a Russian writer, who was
exiled some years ago to Siberia, is now con
tributing to the Revue Muderne, under the
title of "Sovenire de Siberie," his recollec
tions not only of Siberian but also of Russian
life. In the last number of the Revue lie
tells a story, the end of which belongs to the
present reign, the beginning to the reign of
Paul, of whose period it is strikingly charac
teristic:
"The Emperor's favorite was at that time
a young French actress, of whom he was
madly jealous. One evening, at a ball, he
noticed that a young man named Labanoff
was paying her a great deal of attention.
Ile did not lose his temper, but at the end
of the ball gave orders that Lab:moll should
be arrested and thrown into the citadel. He
only intended to keep him there a few days,
"to make him more serious," after which
Le proposed to reprimand lihn, and then to
appoint him to an Alec which had been so
licited for him. LabanolT, however, was
forgotten.
" At the death of Nicholas, Alexander 11.,
then full of magnanimity, liberated all the
prisoners in the citadel, without exception.
In a vaulted tomb, in which it was imposi
ble to stand upright, and which was not
more than two yards long, an old man was
found, almost bent double, and incapable of
answering when he was spoken to. This
was Labanotl: The Emperor Paul had been
succeeded by the Emperor Alexander 1., and
afterwards by the Emperor Nicholas: he
had been in the dungeon more than fifty
years.
" When he was taken out he could not
bear the light, and, by a strange phenome
non, his movements had become automatic.
Ile could hardly hold himself up, and he had
become so accustomed to move about within
the limits of his narrow cell that he could
not take more than two steps forwards with
out turning round, as though lie had struck
against a wall, and taking two steps back
wards, and so on alternately. lie lived for
only a week after his liberation."
NOT TO BE OUTDONE.
One of the zealous chaplains of the Army
of the Potomac, called on a colonel noted
for his profanity, in order to talk about the
religious interests of his men. He was po
litely received, and motioned to a seat on a
chest, when the following dialogue ensued :
Chaplain—Colonel, you have one of the
finest regiments in the army.
believu so.
Chaplain—Do you think you pay sufficient
attention to the religious instruction of your
num ?
Colonel (doubtfully)—\V ell, I don't know,
Chaplain—:l lively inter( st has been
awakened in the —th Massachusetts (a
revival regiment.) The Lord has blessed
the labors of his servants, and ten have
already been baptised.
Col,mel (excitedly)—ls that so? (To the
attendant)—Sergeant major, have fifteen
men detailed i:nnu for baptism. I
won't be outdone by any Mas-achusetts regi
ment.

Thu :Hartford Courant says there are more

place in Connecticut. The other day a well
known deacon went to the steamboat Wharf
to see a friend Off, and as the boat started the
friend said, , •Good-bye, deacon," whereupon
twelve men who stood upon the wharf, im
mediately tipped their hats, and responded,
"Good-bye, sir."
