A pretty fair estimate of the magnitude of the national debt may be formed when the fact is called to mind that, in a recent state ment, a clerical error occurred of some thir teen millions of dollars. When a clerk has room for making a trifling error like that, it may be assumed that the entire debt must be moderately large.

The moral progress manifested by the " God and morality party" in Virginia, onght to satisfy the most fastidious. In Mecklenburg county, it is graveiy an nounced. a negro who can neither read nor write, aud who has been convicted five times in the courts for stealing, was elected over a respectable white " union" man.— And this, we are assured, is by no means an isolated case, hut a eommon occurrence. Facts have recently Come to light, says a correspondent from Richmond, showing that the Mongrel leaders, not satisfied with having everything their own way at the polls, have actually gone so far as to influ ence if not assist in the formation of a ne gro vigilance committee for the purpose of intimidating and threatening white people. A respectable, hard working man, named Monroe, originally from the State of Maine, had the boldness to denounce llunnicut and his gang, and this id the result: He is ordered to pack up and leave the city, and if he chooses, he may take his family. Mr. M. is a quiet, industrious, and honest citi zen, esteemed by all his acquaintances, and he has the nerve to defy the black apes al though they are led on by some of the meanest whites that ever disgraced human ity. Mr. Newdecker, who carries on a large tobacco manufactory, also received a note from the vigilance committee, to leave the city because he had the temerity to dis charge some of his lazy, impudent negroes, who would not work themselves nor allow others to do so. The following is the or der of the negro vigilance Committee sent to several leading citizens : RICHMOND, VA., Oct 23. 18G7. We the colored people of the city of Richmond, having formed a vigilance com mittee, warn yon to leave the city in forty eight hours after receiving this notice. We are aware of your bostiltiv towards Mr Hunnicutt and his political party. If your farnilv choose to go with you they can do so. or they ran remain ; we will not inter fere with them. If you do not heed this warning you will have to abide by the con sequences. Alter you have spoken of Mr. Hunnicutt as you have, we are fully deter mined that you shall leave the city at the expiration of the time given yoa. By order of the committee, T. B. Secretary. Thurlow Weed on Mrs. Lincoln. The letters of Mrs. Lincoln, and her of fer to sell her clothes and gew-gaws have called out the radical press generally on the domestic " situation" of the widow of the " late lamented." Some of the news- ! papers say unkind things of her, and as sign as a reason that she did not behave herself as the President's wife should do One of these papers is ungracious enough to mention the forty big boxes that left the White House with Mrs, Lincoln, and another charges her with selling eleven of Mr. Lincoln's shirts before his body, which had the twelfth one on, had reached its I last resting place. As a sample of what is J said of her and her conduct, we publish t the following from Thurlow Weed's Com- ; raercial Advertiser, (Republican,) Oct. 4th: " We have never approached a question with half the sorrow that this one awakens. To vindicate, shield, and protect " Heaven's best gift to man," is a grateful duty, while to even reprove, and much more to assail a woman, is painful, and if without a per fect justification, unmanly. If the American Congress or the Ameri can people havo failed to meet the pecuni ary expectations of Mr. Lincoln's widow, it is because that personage failed, during his life and after his death, to inspire either with respect or confidence. They should not, therefore, be subjected to the reproach, or rest under the imputation cf ingratitude. Had Mrs. Lincoln, when in power, borne herself becomingly, the suggestion of a Lincoln Fund by voluntary contributions, would have been promptly responded to. The national heart was warm. It gushed out in liberal endowments for Grant and Farragut. It would as cheerfully met the appeal in favor of Mrs. Lincoln if it had not intuitively closed and chilled. In her conversations Mrs, Lincoln is represented as bitterly denouncing Secre tary Sewar l, for which, of course, there is no warrant or excuse, for he wrongs no man, and much less is he capable of injus tice, wrong or even uukindness to woman. But we happen to know—the late Ca leb 15. Smith, then Secretary of the Inte rior, being our informant—a fact which in censed Mrs. Lincoln against Mr. Seward. The President gave the Prince Napoleon a dinner, for which Mrs. Lincoln sent to the Secretary of the Interior for payment of a bill of some $990. This demand, though wholly illegal, coming from the President's wife, embarrassed the Secreta ry, who called on the Secretary of State for advice, where he learned that Mr. Seward had also dined the Prince, having the same number of guests, and giving them a duplicate of the dinner at the White House. In fact, Mr. Seward ordered both dinners from the same restaurant, and by his own bill knew the cost of each For what Mr. Seward paid S3OO, Mrs. Lincoln demanded S9OO. But whether three or nine hundred the claim was illegal, and could not be paid. For this, however, Mrs. Lincoln quarrelled with Secretaries Smith and Seward. This amount, however, was subsequently cover ed up in a gardner's account, but occasion ed scandal, which respect for Mr. Lincoln measurably suppressed. Though Mr. Lincoln left an estate which enabled his family to live quite as comfort ably as they had ever lived, Congress and the people would have promptly and munifi cently provided for them, if Mrs. Lincoln herself, with every advantage that high po sition gave her, had made friends or in spired respect. And this last exhibition proves how instinctively right the popular estimate of her character was. The fact for which Mrs. Lincoln seeks large publicity, namely, that she received presents valued at $24,000, is a pregnant and suggestive one—suggestive, at least, of offices and contracts, unless the more charitable construction is reached through the assumption that they were expressions of regard and friendship. But it is not known that the wife of any President, how ever estimable, was so loaded with shawls, laccs, furs, diamonds, rings, Ac. Thanksgiving Proclamation. By the President of the United States* A. PROCLAMATION. • In conformity to a recent custom that now may be regarded as established by na tional consent and approval, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the I'mted States, do recommend to my fellow citizens that Thurs day, the 28th day of November, be set apart and observed throughout the Repub lic as a day of National Thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty Ruhr of Nations, with whom are dominion an 1 power, and who maketh peace in His High places.— Ke'sting and refraining from secular labors on that day, let us reverently and devoutly give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the mercies and blessings with which lie has crowned the now closing year. Espe cially let us remember that He has favored our land with greatly needed and very abundant harvests, that He has caused in dustry to prosper not only in our fields but also in our workshops, in our mines and in our forests. He has permitted ns to multi ply shins upon our lakes, and rivers, and upon the high seas, and at the same time to extend our iron roads so far into the se cluded places of the continent, as to guar antee speedy over land intercourses be tween the two oceans. lie hu3 inclined our hearts to turn away from domestic contentions and commotions consequent upon a distracting and desolating civil war, and to walk more and more in the ancient ways of loyalty, conciliation and brotherly love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts with which we have established new and important commercial treaties with foreign nations, while we have at the same time strengthened our national defense and greatly enlarged onr national borders. While thus rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tribute of national praise and thanksgiving, which is so justly due to Al mighty God, let us not fail to implore Him that the divine protection and care which we have hitherto so undeservedly and yet so constantly enjoyed, may be con tinued to our country and our people thro'- out all their generations forever. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my band and caused the seal of the United btates to he affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1867, and of the independence of the United States the ninety-second. By the President : ANDREW JOHNSON. Wu. 11, SKWJUD, Secretary of State. The Virginia Elections. FRAUD AND VIOLENCE — A REIUN OF TERROR AT THE POLLS. —The following extracts from the Virginia papers show how the election was conducted: We are in receipt of reliable intelligence from the neighboring counties which un questionably establishes the fact that there (at least the late election) was the most utter farce ever played within the limits of a pretended fee country. Our information comes authenticated with the names of per fectly responsible and widely known gen tlemen, and we unhesitatingly endorse its truth. At Sturdevant's shop, in Prince George County, the negroes attended the polls armed almost to a man with United States rifles and pi.-tols, and assumed complete control of affairs. At Poplar Mount Precinct, in Greens ville, and at Hicksford, in the same county, a similar state of affairs obtained, and many voters thereby deterred from casting their suffrages. At each of these places it was perfectly impossible for a colored man to vote the Conservative ticket. At Henry Precinct, in Sussex, the Rad icals assembled in heavy force, all armed, and exercised violent supervision of tbe voting. At Smoky Ordinary, in Brunswick Co., an armed negro stood at tbe entrance lead ing to the colored poll, and notified each voter as he passed that a Conservative vote would insure his death. At Brunswick Court ITouse there had been collected a number of guns in posses sion of the countv. Just previous to tbe election they were seized by order of Lieu tenant Kimball, the military officer com manding in that locality, who bad them cleaned ar.d distributed with ammunition, among the negroes. The result was the same of course as related of other places. Many whites were deterred entirely from seeking the polls, and no negro was al lowed to enter any but a Radical ticket.— In all these cases except the last, the arms in the hands of the negroes are reported to have been those of the government, and mostly new.— Petersburg Index, Eankruptcy, The following from the Allentown Dem ocrat, will be interesting to those who have been unfortunate in business and who in tend taking the benefit of the bankrupt law : It must be remembered by ail unfortu nate business men that if they desire to take the benefit of the present Bankrupt law they mu-t do so the first year of its existence; for after the expiration of one year from the oate of its approval, no debt or can avail himself of Ibe advantage of freeing himself from the debt by the pro visions of ll is law, evcept he pays 70 pt r cent, of all he owes. Remember this and remember too that no Bankrupt law has ever remained unrepealed for a period of over two years, and that it has always ta ken more than 20 years to get a Bankrupt law passed. This law is very favorable to the debtor. It allows him sßoo exempt, which by a lib ral appraisement is equal to SIOOO or *I2OO. Think of it! Here is an opportunity given to every honest, hut unfortunate trader, to free himself from debt and start the world anew ! If after taking the benefit, a man should make him self a fortune, he can pay his former cred itor in full, if lie desires to do so just as well as if he never had been legally ab solved from his debts; then, why should not a man avail hitneif of the law ? It is wis dom to do so, It is a duty every insolvent man owes to himself and his family, and if he neglects it, it may be with regret all the days of his life. A Word to Bondholders. The bondholders of Lehigh county were assured that the election of Judge Shars wood would be equivalent to repudiation. Well, he has bt-en elected, and that result has been announced to the country. Not only that, but the Democrats carry Ohio, and make enormous gains in Indiana and lowa. What has been the effect on boDds/ Gold has gone down and bonds have gone up in proportion. Tbe shrewd financiers of the cities know that with the approach ing complete triumph of the Democratic party the Union w ill be restored, trade and commerce re established cn a firm and prosperous basis, the industry of the South revived, economy and reform inaugurated in every department of the government, and the national debt rapidly paid off.— With ev> iv new triumph of the Democrat ic party gold will go down and tbe value of bonds increased. That is certain to be the result Let the bondholders remem ber the lies which were told them when they come to vote again, and, if they do not desire repudiation, let them vote the Democratic ticket. So surely as the rad icals are encouraged in their mad schemes so surely will repudiation come eventually. The only hope for bondholders is in a change of parties and political policy.— Allentown Democrat. Important Decision by the Supreme Court. It has been decided by the Pennsylva nia Supreme Court, that drawing a check | on a bank in which the drawer has no funds, and utteiing it, is fraud, both on the per ! son to whom it is negotiated and on the ■ bank. Case ot Peterson vs. Union Nation lal Bank. Jt is fraud in the holder of a ! cheek to present it for payment, when he 1 knows the drawer has no funds in the bank to meet it. The holder of a cheek deposit -1 ed it in the bank on which it was drawn, j knowing that the drawer had no funds to meet it; it was passed to the holder's credit and charged against the drawer.— Held, that this was not payment of the check by the bank, that the holder could not recover the amount from the bank.— This decision is of importance to a class of ! persons who are in the habit of " kiting" I checks, giving " memorandum" checks da- I ted ahead. All such practices are fraud under this decision, and if the checks so uttered are not stamped as promissory I notes they are also in violation of the Uni ! ted States Internal Revenue laws. Per sons wiia arc guilty of drawing checks when they have no funds in bank very ! soon lose their credit, and have their ac 1 counts closed by the banks, and may con , sider themselves lucky if they escape pros ■ ccution for fraud. fgr The N.
