The People and the Presidency.
The spontaneous movement of the Re
publican masses, in favor of Gen, Grant as
the Presidential candidate of the Republi
can party, reminds us of the independent
action of the people in 1 840 and 1 848. Then,
they nominated and elected Generals Harri
son and Taylor, without special consultation
with their political leaders. So now. Gen.
Grant seems to be the favorite of the peo
ple, and as such will be nominated and elect
ed by them in November, 1 80S. At least,
the signs of the times indicate this, and, if
iuch be the will of the masses, it will be
vain for the leaders of the party to endeavor
to change the current of events. And what
has caused this sudden movement of the
people infaTOf of Gen. Grant? We answer:
The late elections having indicated to them
that, through the machinations of the poli
ticians for their individual enhancement, the
future of the country was about to fall into
the bands of the enemies of the Union,
(into the hands of the men who tried to de
stroy our nationality during the late rebel
lion,) to the detriment of the best interests
of the people, and to the jeopardizing of the
permanency of our free government and free
institutions ; and hence, the masses, having
confidence in Gen. Grant, are spontaneously
moving in his favor without consulting their
old party leaders.
Big Business. ,
Copperhead journals here as elsewhere
continue to crow over what they vauntingly
advertise as big business accomplished in the
late elections by the vnterrified Democracy.
Admitting that a "big business" has been
done by the Cdpperheads in the several
States at the late elections, we cannot see
that it promises any very "big dividends."
We remember, in 1862, when the country
was depressed by failures of the armies led
by such apologies for soldiers as M'Clellan,
the Copperheads wrested several States from
the Republicans by the following "big" ma
jorities :
New York, 10,752
Ohio, ; 5,557
Indiana, 5,543
Pennsylvania, 3,524
Illinois, 16,546
In the following year, however, the Re
publicans, ignoring side issues, and turning
out in their strength, recovered these States
by the following majorities:
New York, 29,404 Penn'a,
Ohio, 101,699 Illinois,
Indiana, 15,000
12,402
The Democracy are trusting to a broken
reed, if they suppo.se the "big business"
they have jijst concluded, has any more sig
nificance than the big business which they
made so much ado over in 1862. Next fall's
elections will thow them a sight which will
make their heads swim.
At Their Old Game. Goods of all kinds
can now be smuggled through the N. York
custom house, says the Telegraph, at about
one-third the rate of duty imposed by law.
This is another evidence of tha beauties of
Democratic rule. The New York custom
house is entirely under the control of Dem
ocrats, who arc determined, if they cannot
establish free trade by act of Congress, to
defeat the law by conniving at frauds for its
violation. To the mechanics of America,
this is startling information.
Why They Hate Him. It is leakin? out
gradually why the Copperheads hate Grant
so heartily. The correspondence between
Generals Grant and Thomas, at the time of
the Nashville election, lately published in
full, shows the good sense and clear judg
ment of Grant. He did not lend himself,
tor permit hjs authority to be used in be
half of the Tennessee rebels.
West Virginia Election. The general
result of theWestVirginia election is still iu
doubt, although the returns indicate a Re
publican majority in both branches of the
Legislature, notwithstanding the Democrats
gain several members. "General Apathy"
had the field in this State, as is apparent
. from the smallness of the vote.
Virginia Election. The election in
Virginia has resulted in the choice of a ma
jority of Radicals to the Convention to form
State Constitution. A number of colored
men were chosen as delegates two from
Richmond. The returns also show a Radi
cal majority throughout the State."
Latest from Italy. Garibaldi, at the
head of an army, is marching on Rome.
Napoleon has ordered 30,000 French troops,
and a fleet of iron clads, hither to protect
the Pope. Stirring news is looked for from
that quarter. '
The number of voters'naturalized within
a month in New York eitr, is stated at 15,-
The Causes of Suicide.
A cotemporary makes the following refer
ence to the causes of suicides :
"Suicides are taid to have been usually
more frequent after great wars than at other
times. Certainly they have been more nu
mtrous in this country since the war than
ever before. Rut it i.- not possible by any
analysis cr comparison of cases, to discover
any connection between them and the war.
There is more probably a connection with
the corrupt and corrupting literature which
many people indulge themselves in reading.
Suicide has generally been deemed infamous.
The law that excluded the remains of self
murderers from Christian burial was founded
on this opinion, and may have had a good
effect. Suicides prevailed at one time as an
epidemic among the blaves in the West In
dies. It was generally effected by swallow
ing earth. A penalty burying alive was
threatened against those detected in the at
tempt, and the consequence was that the
practice was stopped. The most charitable
thory is, that Miieide is caused by insanity,
although ir is difficult to account for all cases
of the crime on that pround, or to perceive
why insanity should take that form and di
rection in any case."
There is one point in the above to which
we would direct particular attention the
reference to "the corrupt and corrupting
literature," with which the public is sup
plied. It is our opinion, that a certain class
of publications giving accurate, minute,
and full details of the multifarious crimes
committed everywhere have a greater ten
dency to teach bad-disposed men and women
how to successfully carry out their evil and
hellish designs than any other one means of
which we have any knowledge, and should
be suppressed by positive enactment of laws.
If this cannot be done, it should be the du
ty and aim of every well-disposed and peace
loving citizen to use his influence against
the circulating and reading of such viciating
and corrupting trash, as the best means of
elevating the standard of morality in the
community, and the preventirg of crime.
The Presidency and Congress.
The Pittsburg Commercial, in referring
to the effects of the late elections upon the
Presidential question, and the relative posi
tion of Congress thereto. suya :
"The late elections have so completely
settled the Presidential question as to take
it out of Congress and leave the Represen
tatives perfectly unembarrassed by if. They
will be free to act if they are so disposed,
with an epe single to the good of the coun
try, without regard to the influence which
may be exerted on the chances of candidates.
A deck load of stuff which has been accu
mulating for some time back, has been
thrown overboard. For the isms of individ
uals the Republican party will not be held
responsible. A cart stuck in the mud is em
inently suggestive of the folly of underta
king too heavy loads, and of departing from
the beaten track, however plausible the in
ducements may be lor doing so. Congress,
when it meets, will experience no difficulty
in applying the lesson of the elections ; and
we may safely expect the countrv will be
the gainer, from the fact that the Represen
tatives will have--nothing to da but apply
themselves to their duties, regardless of the
interests of candidates for the Presidency in
any manner.
The Vote in Ohio. The vote at the re
cent election in Ohio was the heaviest ever
cast in that State. Gen. Hayes received
243,605 votes, and Mr. Thurman 240,622 ;
Hayes' majority, 2,983. The entire vote
foots up 484,277, which exceeds any previ
ous one by over 8,000. Heretofore the lar
gest vote was 476,223, at the election for
Governor in 1863, including 42,000 soldiers
votes. The next largest was 470.000 for
President in 1S64, including 60,000 soldiers'
votes. The vote for Governor two 'ears a
go was 417,000, and for Secretary of S'ate
last year 469,0:X. The vote this year id
15,000 larger than any previous purely civ
ilian vote. The Republicans at previous
elections, have exceeded their aggregate,
bnt the Democrats never before attained
theirs. The Democratic vote of Ohio was
heavier in October, 1867, than at any past
election in the history of the State. Two
counties gave tie votes. In forty-two coun
ties Hayes has a majority, and in forty-four
counties Thurman Iras a majority.
Gradually and Graciously. The
Copperhead leaders of the North are a per
sistent : lass of seauips, unwearried in their
coursfe of wrong to the nation, p nd unabash
ed in their sympathy for those who warred
to destrty the Govern ment. While allud
ing to this fact, during the rebellion, we fre
quently declared these men would some day
strive to make treason respectable. They
are now at this work. In the Second Assem
bly district of Middlesex county, N. J., the
Cops have hit the nail exactly on the head
by nominating Col. Jones, late of the rebel
army, for the Assembly. He will undoubt
edly poll the entire Democratic vote of the
district; and his election will make a prece
dent for restoring traitors to other and
higher positions in the Government.
"Another War." Major Cooper, of
the Clarksburg Conservative, boasted the
other day that there would be another war
in fifty days, and that he would fight for
Jcffi'Davis. A soldier standing by remark
ed that if we were to have war in fifty days,
it might as well begin within fifty minutes,
and suiting the action to the word, he
knocked the "Major" down. Upon rising,
Cooper made at the soldier, who repeated
the dose, and was proceeding to finish the
job in the most approved style, when the
bystanders interfered, and brought the affair
to a close.
The Reason Why ?- The Roman Cath
olic paper,' the Union, gives a curious ver
son i of the reasons which induced Rattazzi
to have Garibaldi arrested. The minister,
says that paper, was perfectly aware that in
laying handstn Garibaldi the movement a
gainst Rome would not be prevented. Be
sides this, Rattazzi, aware of the dangers of
the enterprise, wished to save the General
and hinder risking his life.
The election of Governor Brownlow to
the United States Senate secures another
Radical in that high legislative body. The
Copperheads are very much horrified at the
result.
"Washington City Gossip.
The lobby business is becoming a regular
bore, swindle and disgrace to all who do bu
siness with either the Exeoutive and Legis
lative branches of the Government at Wash
ington. .Things have come to such a condi
tion that it is next to impossible to have
the least important business transacted with
the Departments without first hiring one of
the suckers called lobbyists. Lcgislation,by
some sort of hocus pocus, is controlled by
these creatures, who block up every avenue
to Congress. And what is so humiliating is
the fact that most of these men are ignorant
and abandoned iu character, who could not
iufluence a business transaction in commer
cial or manufacturing circles involving a dol
lar. Yet these lobbyists can control busi
ness of all kinds before the Government.
They frequently enlarge or decrease appro
priations as their interest may demand. It
is time that the press of all parties call at
tention to this most disgraceful influence,
that the people may be able to devise the
way to destroy it.
The return of the Philadelphia banks to
the Comptroller of the Currency shows that
they have a reserve of $19,000,000, being
$6,000,000 in excess of the amount requir
ed by law.
It is not to the credit of the whiskey man
ufacturing business, that it ha3 so often
been found connected with frauds upon the
revenue. Smuggling, in the whiskey line,
has prevailed in this and otbocxpuntries to
a large extent, whenever it would pay. It
is a testimony to the strength of two appe
titesthe love of money and the love of
driuk. The evasion of the tax is not enly a
fraud on the Government, but a wrong to
every tax-payer. If the excise law was hon
ored by the distillers universal!', the effect
would be to shorten very materially the era
of heavy taxation, as the debt would the
sooner be paid off and the burden of taxa
tion be removed.
The condition of Western National banks,
as shown by abstracts compiled from their
quarterly reports received at the office of
the Comptroller of the Currency.isup to the
required standard, arM this is also the case
in regard to the National Banks in all other
sections of the country. The reserves spe
cified by the act of Congress have been met
in ail cases, while in some instauces the av
erage is considerably over the requirements
of the lav.'.
The monthly statement of the debt for
October will thow a contraction of -thirty
millions in the currency.'
Fractional currency printed last week, is
$572,320; shipped, $572,644; Nat'l Bank

The work on the impeachment testimony
is progressing at the Government printing
office, and twelve or fifteen pages are daily
put in type. The whole work will be com
pleted by the last of November. Great care
is taken not to let it be made public, and as
each sheet is finished it is locked up. No
one is allowed to be near the press upon
which it is printed, and the compositors
engaged in putting it in type, it is said, are
sworn to secrecy.
The official information received at the
Indian Bureau, from Kausas, is to the ef
fect that both the commissioners and the In
dians now assembled at Medicine Lodge
Creek think that the council will result in a
lasting peace. The commissioners will not
be able to hold a council at the Upper Platte
until Nov. 10th.
It is believed that the House committee
appointed to inquire whether the present
government of Maiyland is such a republi
can government as is required by the Con
s' itution, have collected some extraordinary
testimony. That delectable despct, "Gov.
Swann," will appear iu several new and in
tercsting characters.
Counterfeiting as a Science. Science
and mechanical ingenuity have their bad
uses as well as their good. It is not pleas
ant to think that the art of counterfeitinz
has been brought to such perfection that
even experts and banking institutions cannot
decide between the genuine and the spurious
issues of Government paper. And if Seven-Thirties
can be thus skillfully counter
feited, why may not all others with eaual
uccess? In fact, this seems to be an age of
counteneitiDg. ine iooa we eat, tne bev
erages we drink, the clothes we wear, are
in many cases mere counterfeit present-,
ments. Half of the articles in use whether
for luxury or necessity, if t hey could speak,
could say with Iago: "I am not what I am."
Even the fair ladies that delight our eves
on the promenade in the drawing roomj at
the opera, are half made up of counterfeits.
The roses on their cheeks, the lillies on their
brows, the marble of their bosoms, all, all
counterfeits. Their ebon tresses counter
feit the hue of gold, and their golden locks
counterfeit the raven's wing. There is
nothing real not even money.
A Prediction. Senator Wilson, at a
political meeting held on Monday, October
21st at Marlboro, Mass., after reciting the
predictions he had made at different times,
and their more than fulfillment, then stated
that General Grant would be elected Presi
dent by the votes of not less than thirty
States, and would be supported by a two
thirds majority of both Houses of Congress.
The ever loyal white men, the repentant
rebels, and the six hundred thousand en
franchised colored men are to reconstruct
the Southern States, and send a majority of
Republican Senators and Representatives to
Washington. -
Two women, the first who have made the
attempt, reached the.top of Mount Hood
this summer.
Farming: in Minnesota. We find an
account of a farm of 2.000 acres, owned and
worked by Mr. O. Dalrymple, of Cottage
Grove, Washington county, Minnesota. It
is divided into three farme tht urant, the
Sherman, and the Sheridan farms. In the
first are 1000 acres, cf which 20 acres are
in one field, inclosed with a board fence. On
the several farms ars sets of building9 to ac
commodate 100 men, and about the same
number of horses. v heat was grown the
firat season on 1,700 acres. During harvest
150 acres were cut per day. The yield was
an average of 25 bushels per acre, or 42,500
bushels in all, which, at $1 50, yielded $63,
700. It is not only safe to say that this is
the largest yield of wheat given to any man
in the United States this year, but probably
the most profitable of any crop produced for
the same time in any State. Mr. Dalrymple
was not only reimbursed for the original out
lay of land, houses, labor, seed, fences, im
plements, horses, etc but had a clear profit
of at least $20,000. This sample of fann
ing in Minnesota is an evidence of the abil
ity of the Northwest to Fupply a full ehare
to the measure of abundance required for
the march of empire which "westward takes
its way." - -
Unfortunate, but Very Jolly. A
colored philosopher called Cato was arres
ted in Nashville for robbing a clothing store,
and sent to jail to await trial. As the offi
cers were approaching to arrest him, Cato
was heard to say to himself in an audible
tone, "Dar is something rotten here, I's got
cotched up, I's been selling clo's too cheap,
some nigger's been sayin somethin, a color
ed pussin couldn't throw a tater out with
out some hog pickin it up. " After his. ar
rest he seemed very much amused, aad
remarked to the officers, "I thought diswas
what you came here for." He sang out to
hi wife, "Good by, Lizzie, I'm gwine to
make a short trip to the penumtenshary,
guess I won't be back anymore dis winter,
you will hab to get smebody to take care
ob you, come to der iail to see me some
time." He went off with his officers with as
jolly an air as if he were going to a feast.
He confessed the crime in the same spirit.
When last seen there was a broad grin on
his phk, as he wended his way toward the
jaiL
The Todd Family. Mrs. Lincoln's
brothers, as is known, were in the Confed
erate army. The youngest of them started
in April, 1861, fionvNew Orleans as a pri
vate in the chaseurs a Pied, and being dis
charged for sickness at Richmond, in Octo
ber of the saoii; year returned to his home ;
but, though still suffering in health, be left
a wife and two babies to join the Crescent
regiment, in response to Beauregard's call,
and fell at Shiloh. Another, Captain Da
vid Todd, started with Colonel Tom Taylor,
of the First Kentucky Volunteers, and was
killed toward the end of the war. And
third. Dr. Todd served throughout as a dis
tinguished surgeon.
Rebels Rejoicing. When intelligence
of the Pennsylvania and Ohio elections
reached Montgomery, Alabama, the old I
rish news agent there ran along the streets
witlr the morning papers, singing out,
"Good news for the rebels ! eood news for
the rebels! the best I have had since the
time they defeated the Yankees during
the war !' and in Montgomery, as in all the
other cities, thetnon who had been fighting
against the Union were as exultant over
the victories of the Copperheads of Ohis
and Pennsylvania as if these victories had
been affected by their own ballots.
"Democratic Victories." It turns
out that Democratic victories are scarce out
West. Indiana did as well as last year ; I
owa did well enough as 20,000 is near
enough to 30,000 for all practical purposes.
Nebraska and Colorado have given hand
some ; Republican gains. The loss of a Sen
ator in California and Ohi will be made up
by the admission of Colorado with two Re
publican Senators. This state of things is
discouraging to the Democratic party.
They cannot yet afford to elect Val. to the
Senate, or to nominate Pen. for President.
Italy. From Italy we may infer we shall
hear stirring news before long. The men of
action have apparently made good their
name, and, at all events, have done some
thing that the government is afraid to: have
known. Napoleon, by hi late movements,
has intimated his intention to iuterfere, if
interference is necessary for the security of
the Pope, and the world will await anxious-,
ly the tilt of the Emperor with Citizen
Garibaldi. Will he be more fortunate than
in his encounter with his other uncrowned
antagonist, Minister Bismark?
A Heavier Verdict. In the Court of
Common Pleas of Lancaster County, on
Thursday, Jacob R. Goodman obtained a
verdict for $9,150 against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. This suit wa3 brought
by the plaintiff for the recovery of damages
for the loss of his wife, who was killed
while crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad in
a carriage, with her husband near Landis
ville about two years ago. At a former tri
al, $7,500 was allowed as damages. The
new trial was granted at the instance of the
railroad company.
Not Likely. The minor topics of the
limes gives some reasons against the prob
ability of Jeff. Davis being tried the wit
nesses are dead or scattered, the papers are
lost, and it is doubtful whether the Judge
or jury would know Davis if tliey tcere to see
him. If this last were a bar, there would
be few criminal trials. Judges are not apt
to have culprits in the circle of their ac
quaintances Schools IN the South. The Buckhan
on Advocate says : "Over thirty new school
houses are to be opened to the little folks of
our country this winter. We sincerely hope
that our school officers will see. that these
houses are furnished with efficient teachers
and filled with pupils. We hail the open
ing of these houses as a most auspicious o
men, full of brightest promises for the fu
ture. Accident. A most singular accident oc
cured at the Hoosic tunnel works on Saturday
a-week. The gasoline works at the mouth
exploded and burned, the burning ruins and
debrio falling down the shaft burying and
suffocating the whole gang of workmen,
thirteen in alL The bodies were not recov
ered for some time. : ,
The nomination of Grant for President
springs right from the Republican popular
heart. None of the camp followers were
allowed to have a band in it.
A New Device. A New Yorker has in
vented a little attachment to a carriage by
which, in case the horses run away, the tra
ces may be loosened, ard the frightened an- !
imals may run as hard as thev p'ease, while
the carriage will he left behind in safety.
The device is Mid to be so simple that it ix
a marvel that it was not previously discov
ered. A Chicaooism. In Chicago, recently, a
man who had been enjoying a little too
much liquid happiness, fell into an unfin
ished sewer, where he was found v by a po
liceman, singing that he wanted to bean
angel. The Justice before whom he was
brought fined him five dollars for being
drunk, and six for damaging the sewer.
GRANT. The name of Grant fills the at
mosphere from Maine to California, and the
people who prayed that he might win while
he battered and stormed away at legion of
rebels, now turn to him as their leader,
to guide our country out of the difficulties
left by rebellion.
