The Electiohs Past and Future, The October elections are over, and al tbouglnwe have made`a handsome pin ever majority-low of:fen:l44 . years,:yetNie lose . the State by a small majority—ho Enttali we'inay net know until all the oft= returns are published. 'Eight or ten thorlind will cover Geary's majority, wbileiit may toe.,much less. Last year we were beateii2mo. The =ink, although not as good as we ‘4lo:ituight have been, leaves thO future fik*Phope for the pernoeraey. Such a gain in the face of the falsehoods, frauds, and'eorrupt means used by the radicals, allows that upon a renewal of the contest, we must* win. It must be remembered that the federal patronage, power and in• fluenee;•has been practically against _us.— True,' many removals have been made, but many yetremain' to be - made. Where removals were made there has not been time to give full effect to the changes.— The money' has been upon the wrong aide, and has been used with telling et= feet against us; for the radicals, hoping that their triumph would force the Presi dent to, terms with them, have risked ev erything, and used money freely wherev- Erit would tell for their benefit. But though failing to win this time,the President and his friends will not hesitate what to do. The axe falls daily, and dis. union headsfoll off with pleasing rapidi ty ; and within a month not a radical, highor low, will remain in office where a change is asked for. With the loss of pa tronage, the power of radicalism falls ; and we have but to make good use of our situation to completely turn the, tide in 1867, and 1868, and secure the election of a President by a vote of all the States.— This done, the radicals who struggle for disunion as their only hope to continue in power, will be found in a miserable mi- uority. But the work for the future must be gin now. Our people must have faith in the Union; keep in view the bright side of the prospect; stand firmly and earnest ly by our organization and principles, and enter, at once and t horoughly, upon the OCratic newspapers and documents must receive a more extended circulation, and the slanders and filseboods of radicalism be exposed .and refuted. Every Democrat can and must do his share; and especially those who expect office from the President and his friends, must take hold of the work in earnest, and aid in securing the victory. The County and Mistrict. Although we increase our vote 50 per cent., the radical mnjority is near 150 greater than last year. This increase of majority is more than accounted for by colonized and other illegal voting—a game the radicals played to quite an ex tent ip several towns, in the mad attempt to elect Archbald. But Ltizerne settled the question by giving a Union majority of from 3,500 to 3,700; and the vast amount of money used stgainst Denison only took about P5O votes from him on a poll of 27,000 in the District. Opposition is useless when Denison is in the field, and his enemies now fully are aware of that fact, to their cost. Negro Lawyers.

Proclamation by the President—Day of Thanksgiving Appointed. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The following Proclamation has just been issuedliy the President of 'the Uni ted States "Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a people another year of that national life which is an. indispensable condition of peace, security and progress. That year has, moreover, been crowned with many Peculiar blessings. The civil war that so recently closed among us, has• not been anywhere reopened. Foreign intervention has ceased to ex cite alarm or apprehension. 'lntrusive pestilence has been benignly mitigated. Domestic tranquility has improved. Seta titnents of conciliation have largely pre vailed; and the affections of loyalty and patriotism have been widely received. Our fields have yielded quite abundantly. Our milking industry has been richly re warded, and we have been allowed 'to ex tend our railroad system far into the in terim- recesses of the country, while our commerce has resumed its customary ac tivity in foreign seas. These great national blessings demand a national acknowledgment. Now, therefore; I, Andrew Johnson, President - of the United States, do hereby recommend that Thursday, the 29th day of November next, be set apart and be observed every where in the several States and Territories of the U. States b 3 the people thereof, as a day of thanksgiv ing and praise to Almighty God. With due remembrance that "in His temple doth everyman speak of His hon or," I recommend also 'that on the same solemn occasion, they do humbly and de voutly implore Him to grant to our Na tional Councils and to our whole people, that divine wisdom which alone can lead any nation into the ways of all good.' In offering these National Thanksgiving' praises and supplications, we have the Divine assurances that "the'Lord re maineth King forever; them that are weak shall be guided in judgment and such are gentle shall he learn His way. The Lord shall give strength to His peo ple the blessing of peace." -In witness ;hereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused theseal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, thi.; ° eighth of OcCober, in the year of Lord, one thousand eight hundred [aRALJand sixty six, and of the Indepen. dence of the United States, the ninety first. pemotrat. Editor. - ANDREW Sotixsox By the President : illiam FL Seward, Secretary of State Manufactured News. We called attention the other day to a Chicago custom of manufacturing special I Tile Louisville pa pers have since• exposed a large number of additional dispatches of the same kind. The truthis apparent that many papers of the North arg daily filled to overflow t. with these despatches, There seems to be no limit to the magnitude of their falsifications. General Swayne, of the Freedmen's Bureau in Alabama, com plains of the systematic dissemination-of items at the North, apparently by one person, detailing all sorts of sensational occurrences. " The scene," he says, "is generally laid in Mobile, and the stcuy is uniformly without oundation." The General may be right as to one person manufacturing the Mobile falsehoods, but the probability is otherwise. It is a con firmed habit of newspapers representing 'one shade of politics, whose object is to discouoge reunion and embitter Sectional feeling, to rival one another in the publi cation of sensational stories about the South. Four years before the war the readers of these papers were deceived in this way. The same custom prevails still, and there are scores of men who employ themselves in manufacturing the stuff which is thus spread before the public. The habit of judging an entire people by specific instances of wrong doing is so general that it pays well for political ef fect to circulate these stories. A long and sensational account of a murder in Alabama or Mississippi is read with avid ity, and accepted as proof of the utter de moralization of the entire State in which it is said to have occurred. A careful sifting of the truth from the falsehoods now current leads to the con viction that the average of moral good ness and peaceable - living is nor higher at I the North than at the South. If we were to judge by specific cases we should be compelled to give judgment against the North in the comparison, for the issues of the press from all parts of the North come to us with accounts of riot, arson, murder,_ and every crime known to the law. But these accounts are not to be taken ati proving the character of the en tire North. The truth is, there is an am ple work at home for those who devote their energies to improving the' moral condition of their fellow men, wherever home may happen to be. We -.were ri ding in a railroad car in the Connecticut Valley, from -Springffild - northward, on the 4th of July last, and had an opportu nity of seeing some of the young men of that part of the world, for they crowded the min,in the evening, on their way home from celebrations at various places. We have not for years beard such an out burst of profanity:and indecency as made the car in which we •rode hideous for an hour, between Bellows Falls and the sta tions north of it. About fifty young men were in the car, mostly. half &rink, and, notwithstanding the presence of several ladies, the boisterous' language- and_ con duet of these young , men indicated the most thorough dibaseinint of character. Certainly there is ample room for the Ia bore of good men among - this class in the Connecticut valley: But it is not to be imagined that the' beautiful - valley of the Coenectiont is any worse in this reg ard than other parts of the. country. We have stated the fact only to show that it is desirable for all parts of the country to " look at home." The war has unques tionably produced a very bad effect on the general standard of morality in the country. Young men have shaken loose from the old religious and social restraints. Politics have usurped the place of good morals and of religion even in the pulpit, and it - has been plain for three years past that the old influence of the country church and the country pastor over the young people of the congregation has been very generally lost. It wont& be. nonsense to say that the South has'not stiffered in the same manner. All parts of the land are much alike. But the peo ple of the North have now other work to do, and more important than correcting Southern sins. It is time for them to cor rect their own. Let us have done with this business of governing our neighbors, and . look a little to the government of our own communities. Especially let us have done with mourning over the crimes which politicians say our neighbors are committing, while we adopt the Pharisi cal plan of thinking ourselves so much better than other men are.—Journal of Commerce. Loss of the Steamer " Evening Star." The steamer Evening Star, from New York to New Orleans, foundered at, sea when one hundred and eighty miles east of theTybee, with two hundred and fifty passengers and fifty of the crew. Only five of the crew and one passenger, Frank, Gerrard, were saved. The boat from the Evening Star has ar rived at Fernandina, Florida. She left the steamer with eighteen persons, inclu ding Capt. Knapp, one lady and a child. She capsized nine times. On the sixth time the captain was lost. As the Syl van Shore was leaving Fernandina, a boat was reported to be coming in, with the purser and engineer. Four boats left the steamer as she sunk. The other two are supposed to be swamp ed. The ,zellooner S. J. Waring, from Now York for Apalachicola, has put in, in dis tress, having thrown overboard a part of her deck load. The Waling brought the chief engi neer, purser, two passengers and six of the crew of the steamer Evening Star, having picked them up at sea. The steamer.Cambria, from New York, which left here yesterday for Mobile, re urned to port to day with her machinery disabled. Radical Tales of Horrors in the South. Major General Scca.Y9 r arta Aga body is all the time sending sensation ac counts of things that never happened from that State to the Northern papers. lie says : " I beg leave to remark that for some weeks past the attention of parties here has been drawn to the systematic appear ance of items at the North, apparently by one person, detailing all sorts of sensa tion occurrences to persons of both ra ces. The scenes is generally laid in Mo bile, and the story uniformly without foundation." That is ajpart of the vile system of mis representation pursued by the. Northern Radicals for the purpose of rousing the prejudices against the South in order to carry the elections in opposition to the President's policy. The extrentisis can manufacture any amount of horror in the South that may be needed. Shame ! Lou iBville Journal. The Latest Fashions. Since the invention and successful in troduction of the Duplex Elliptic [or double] Spring Hoop Skirt by Mr. J. W. Bradley of New York, the ladies through. ont the country have given up the idea of discarding the fashion of wearing hoop skirts on account of the peculiar and graceful manner in which the Duplex Skirts adapt themselves to every exigency and emergency. So generally acceptable have these Skirts become that the ladies regard them as a special favorite in view of the superior flexibility, lightness and durability combined in their manufacture. They also consider them a far more eco nomical and comfortable Hook Skirt that ever has or can be made for all crowded assemblages, for the promenade or house dress. Any lady after wearing one of these Skirts will never afterwards willing ly dispense with their use. Long experi ence iu the manufacture of Hoop Skirts ,has proven to the proprietors of this in vention, that single springs will always retain that stiff, unyielding and bungling style which has ever characterized them, whereas the double spring hoop or the Duplex Elliptic, will be found free from these objections. Notwithstanding , the ability• of the manufacturers, Messrs. Wests," Bradley & Cary, to turn out over-six. thousand Skirts per day from their large manufactories in New York, they feel obliged to Tequest all merchants ordering the Duplex Elliptic Stilts, to send their orders a few days before they are wanted, if possible, asthey are always most constantly oversold some days ahead. • —The States which hold their elections on November Sixth, are Illinois, New York, Maryland, Michigan, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Missouri,Minnesots, Kan sas, Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey.
