Accept the Situation.
Since Grant has been elected President,
it is astonishing to see how many friends be
haa acquired. Most of the Copperhead
profess to be well satisfied, and say that
they think he will male a good and honest
President! Iu fact that they are rather
glad that he was elected instead of Seymour,
their own candidate. Others again, of the
kind that has been hanging around Andrew
Johnson 6ince his apostaey, say that Grant
U at heart a good Democrat and will soon
get over to their side. AH of them, ex
cept a few or the "Brick Pomeroy" stripe,
seem disposed to accept the situation and
submit quietly to the decision rf the people.
There is no more talk about dispersing the
"carpet bag governments," as Frank Blair
proposed. Everybody knows that Grant
will make a good President that he will
execute the laws, maintain the national cred
it, and force the southern Rebels to under
stand that they did not coDquer in their ef
forts to destroy the Union.

A Majority President
It has sometimes been said that the Re
publicans have not elected their President
by majority votes. In 1860 Lincoln was run
against two competitors, and although he
had a hand.-vme major ity in the Electoral
College, he was in a minority of the popu
lar votes. In 1864, the absence of eleven
States !rom participation in the election
gave a sort of pretext for saying that he
was not then chosen by a majority of the
people who had & legal right to vote, which
is all that can be asked for in any case. Rut
even this quibble cannot be raised against
President Grant(we may as well get used to
the title). He will have a decided majori
ty of the votes of the Union, thus becom
ing the President of the people, against
whose will he has promised to have no poli
cy. Attempt to Capture General Grant.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Ile.rnld says that there is a
movement among the Copperhead and Re
bel politicians to attempt a capture of the
President elect by instructing the Seymour
electors to vote for him and thus make his
election unanimous. The object is to put
Gen. Grant under obligations to them, and
thus to secure, in behalf of the beaten party,
a share of the offices and an excuse to med
die in, and if possible dictate the policy of,
the new administration. Were such a thing
carried irto force, the 'Democratic party
would be effectually broken up for here
after the rank and file would place no faith
in tlteir leaders. Besides Gen. Grant is not
the sort of man to be influenced by any
nch tjaeeionable compii.nent from so dis
loyal souree. '

"Drafted," A friend of the President
elect having reminded Litu that he would
now be constrained to forero all the ease of
mind he anticipated at the end of the war,
the General quietly observed: "I could not
help it ; I did not volunteer, and then my
country drafted me."
Gubernatorial. The Harrisburg State
Guard declares lor the renoraination of
Governor John W. Geary, aud in so doing
justly reflect the prevailing judgment of the
Republioa? party in faror of brave and
faithful public servant.
The Sepublicau Party-Wtat It Has Ac
complished. The Republican Party owed its origin to
the aggressions of Slavery, and made its
first National contest against that giant
wrong in 1856. It was beaten, only to re
turn to the struggle with great vigor. The
Slave Oligarchy, after itssweepingtriumph,
felt invincible in its strength, and allowed
no limit to its future aggrandizement. But
in four years more the original purpose of
the Republican Party was accomplished, in
the erection of an impassable barrier be
tween the States in which Slavery was su
preme, and the Territorial domain of the
Nation. This was making short work, in
deed, with the mon.-trous evil. In four
years, the sceptre of power was wrested
from it and returned to the freemen of the
Nation, where it properly belonged.
In another four years, the Republican
Party, proven to be the only Party of Loy
a!ry and Liberty iu the Nation, successful
ly euded the most exteuded and bloody civ
il war that ever convulsed a Nation. Mon
ey without limit. lives without reserve, had
been freely offered. A Nation had been
saved from disruption and anarchy, and the
integrity of the Constitution complete y
vindicated.
In the fame period, and as ?n inevitible
accompaniment of the struggle, the stain of
Human Slavery was obliterated from the
National escutcheon. The close of the war,
established the theory that everywhere in
the American Republic, man was free to
think and act, to plan and to execute,
Speech was free, the Press was free, Hu
manity was free.
Another four years' and the theory of
Human Liberty stands affirmed by the
mighty voice of the whole People. It is de
creed that the Flag shall protect the Free
man in all his inalienable rights. Practice
must accord with theory. The humblest
individual may command the mightiest Gov
ernment on the earth to defend him, and it
will move with alacrity to his assistance.
The fearful freemen of the South, tremb.
ling in view of the tyranny of their late
masters, and the fleeing fugitives from the
M world, shaking in view of the shackles of
their late G ivernments, alike can repose in
safety under the a'gis of our National
Shield.
A danger imminently threatening to our
commerce and industry has been forever re
moved in one short campaign. Never again
will we be humiliated and imperilled by
propositions of National dishonor and finan
cial folly, such as were so boldly put forward
by the. Democratic Party.
The Republican Party has also, in a short
and decisive conflict, driven frcm the hori
zon of the Nation the ominous war cloud
which but lately lowered so darkly.
And with all these achievements, it has
defrayed three eighths of the cost of the
War thrust upon the Nation, and met all
the ordinary expenses of the Government.
It is not strange that the people have
again trusted the party which in two years
has accomplished so much lor Freedom, Na
tionality, Prosperity and Peace. It only
remains for it to prove equally true in the
future, to maintain its pre-eminence in the
Nation.

Too Much Haste.
Some of our exchanges are full oC conjec
tures and suggestions as to General Grant's
Cabinet. This playing at making appoint
ments for the new President is doubtless
more interesting to those engaged in it than
entertaining to the people who hope to see
a strong and upright administration, or to
General Grant, himself, whose wise and ju
dicious appointments in the field should be
a sufficient guarantee as to how he will per
form so important a matter as the appoint
ment of a Cabinet.
One thing is a matter of rejoicing to the
loyal people. General Grant goes into the
Presidency wholly unincumbered by political
hacks and tricksters, and can select his ad
visors from the most able and patriotic men
of the country. And we have no doubt
that iu this, a in every difficult matter
heretofore, he will show himself master of
the situation. In this respect he has great
ly the advantage of many of his predeces
sors. Beside the manufacturing of cabinets,
there will doubtless be a rattling among the
dry bones of the lesser political fossils, and
a raising of the past dead to secure the offi
ces at the disposal of the new admini-tra-tion.
Indeed the rattling has already begun,
and the breath of political life has anima
ted shoals of them. Successful Congress
men are even cow overwhelmed with a host
of the warmest and most unselfish friends.
One can only wonder that the immaculate
loveliness of Congressmen elect could have
been concealed from the gaza of men who
see so clearly now. These patriotic gentle
men, thesuldenly animated class, are the
cormorants of office and are laying their
plans to attain their hungry desires. They
may not have done a thing for the good of
their country or humanity ; they may have
grumbled andcomplainel their way through
the long and bitter campaign, discouraging
all whom they could influence by the way,
and be in doubt even when they reached
the baliot-box for whom they should vote.
But they are in doubt no longer upon whose
banner victory has perched, and they make
unseemly haste to explain away the ugly
past and rush with their congratulation to
the successful candidates before their faces
have had time to change from a scowl to a
smirk, or their tongues to unlearn the words
of calumny and complaint and take up those
of flattery and sycophancy. Humanity isnot
complimented by the existence of such men
and political parties are not benefitted by
them, but that, they do live and find their
way into politics are facts which must be
lamented, but cannot be prevented.
The Financial Prospect.
It will be recollected that the Democra
cy, during the recent canvass, stoutly insis-
ted that the Republicaus, if Grant was elec
ted, would restore the taxes which were re
moved during a former session thus pro
ving that the reduction was only temporary
and intended for purely electioneering pur
poses. Hon. David A. Wells, spe ial Com
missioner of the Revenue, on November
10th, assured Hon. W. D. Kelley that the
revenue from all sources was ample to pay
the interest on the public debt and the ex
penses of the Government, ai.d to leave a
large surplus for the rapid reduction of the
public debt ; so that there will uot only be
no attempt to restore the heavy taxes exis
ting before the last heavy decrease in the
publiis burdens, but the ircome tax will it
self be removed, according to the terms of
the act, in about a year and a half. If this
is the state of things under the terrible mal
administration of the Government by An
drew Johnson, with muny corrupt and reck
less men in all the departments of the reve
nue, foreign and domestic, what will it be
when Grant's honest an 1 rigid rule is fairly
in operation ? Commissioner Wells will make
a very interesting exhibit to the next session,
and will recommend some changes in the
tariff on foreign luxuries that will still fur
ther increase the revenue. The decrease in
the national debt is steady even under the
present regime, but when Grant begins
with his policy of retrenchment we shall the
better realize not only the certainty of
meeting all our obligations, principaland in
terest in gold, but the fact that our nation
al securities are the best investment in the
world. With ordinary economy in business
matters and a stern course of retrenchment
under Grant, the balance of trade will soon
be in our favor by the foreign demand for
our securities, and the renewed activity of
our domestic industry under a system of
reasonable protection, specie payments will
not long be delayed.
Hope for Her Tet.
Some time ago it wxs aunounced by Un
ion men that Maryland was a State where
Republicans for years to come would be in a
hopeless minority. But the late election
bhows that notwithstanding the National
and State administrations have done all they
could to strengthen the Democracy. and not
withstanding they have been aided by the
votes of thousands of returned rebel soldiers
who were absent when the State voted for
Lincoln, there is a healthy growth of Re
publicanism in Maryland. This growth is
best i-hown by a comparison of the late elec
tion with that of 1807 for Governor:
1867. 16S.
Democratic 63,694 C2.437
Republican 22.051) 3-590
Dem. maj. 41,644 31,847
This shows that the Democratic vote in
one year has fallen off 1,257, while the Re
publican vote has increased S,540. If any
thing like this ratio of progress can be kept
up, Maryland will.in a few years, stand side
by side with her sister State Pennsylvania.

A New Idea. A gentleman at Cle veland,
Ohio, has issued a circular asking aid to as
sist the Indians in making their own blank
ets. This gentlemen has travelled among
the Indians, and has noticed their love for
bright colors, and their desire to be taught
to weave on hand-looms. He asserts that
when the Indian women adopt such employ
ment the men will see the propriety of wool
growing, which will then become their occu
pation among the valleys and mountains of
the far West. Through such industrial pur
suits the Indians, it is believed, can be in
duced to supply the wool needed by the
manufacturers.
The History of a Tin Box.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune relates a curious history of a cer
tain tin box which was deposited by Mr.Stan
ton, Secretary of War, with General Spin
ner. Treasurer of the United States, soon
after he close of the war. The box was said
to contain $30,000 in gold. About a year
ago a certain National Bank suspended,
with a heavy indebtedness to the Govern
ment. A LTnitod States Quartermaster who
had got into trouble in his official capacity
owed this bank $30,000, and the box dejs
ited with General Spinner was said and be
lieved to belong to him. An attorney was
employed by the Bank, and after a year's
labor with the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Treasury, and after full
discussions of the matter at various meet
ings of the Cabinet, an order was at length
obtained, on the 11th inst., to have the box
opened. Gen. Spinner then summoned a
number of witnesses who in company with
Gen. Hardee, who was detailed to be pres
ent by the Secretary of War, and the tri
umphant attorney, proceeded to the vaults.
The remainder of the story is thus told by
the correspondent:
" The box was brought out from a dusty
corner for inspection. It was locked and
sealed, but there was no key. After some
delay a locksmith was secured aud the box
opened, and found to contain an old calico
dress, and a womans shawl and waterproof
cloak, labelled as follows : " Taken from
the person of Jefferson Davis at the time
of his capture by Colonel Pritchard of the
U. S. A." Gen. Hardee at once departed
for the War Department. The attorney has
gone to New York, and General Spinner is
still laughing at the greatest joke of the
season."
"To Resigs." The Harrisburg Teh
graph says : There have been rumors afloat
for some time-past to the effect that Gener
al Grant is about to resign his commission as
General of the army.and that Hon. Schuyler
Colfax, Vice President elect, will resign his
position as Speaker of the United States
House of Representatives,and also as mem
ber of that body, shortly after the next
meeting of Congress. It has also been re
ported that when the Electoral College meets
next February to officially count the Presi
dential vote, Gen. Grant will resign his gen
eralship, immediately on being officially no
tified of his elec.ion. We have the highest
authority for stating that the foregoing ru
mors and reports are incorrect, and that
Gen. Grant will not resign his present posi
tion until it becomes necessary fir him to do
so before being sworn as President of the
United States. Hon. Schuyler Colfax will
pursue the same course, and retain the po
sition he now holds until within a few hours
of the time he will be called upon to fill the
duties of" Vice President of these United
States. We feel that this announcement
will be hailed with delight by every admirer
of the previous course of the gentlemn who
are soon to occupy the two highest positions
in the gift of the American people.
A letter from Russia gives a melancholy
picture of hi present condition of that
country. The harvest, it says,is insufficient
for the wants of the population, and incen
diary fires and thefts are of constant occur
rence. In the government of Vladimer
450,000 roubles have been stolen out of the
public chest, and similar robberies have been
discovered at Riazan, where 56,000 roubles
are deficient, and at Moscow, where the loss
amounts to 45,000 roubles. These thefts
are generally ascribed to the officials, and
several ot them have been dismissed in con
sequence. At Nijni-Novogorod forged fifty
rouble notes have circulated in such quanti
ties that several merchants have sustained
considerable losses. Strange to say, a great
number of these forged notes have been
found in the government chests. As for the
fires, most of them are notoriously the work
of incendiaries, and in a grtfat many cases
secret proclamations have been circulated. as
in 1862, announcing the day on which a fire
is to take place.
The Public Dedt. A comparison of the
monthly public debt exhibit, published on
Saturday, Nov. 5th, shows an increase in
the debt bearing coin interest of $7,423,050.
The debt bearing currency interest has de
creased $11,150,930. The three-year seven
thirty notes have decreased during the month
to the extent of $581,000; the matured
debt has decreased $2,686,520; the debt
bearing no interest has decreased ( 39,189.
Bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad Com
pany since the 1st of October has increased
$2,500 000. The coinln the Treasury has
increased $6.516.13S; the currency has de
creased $2.t0U,l, and the total debt, less
cash in the Treasury, has decreased $7,51-4,-106,13.
Wmcn Will He Get? The Ku Klux
Democracy ofTennessee are debating among
themselves whether they shall take np An
drew Johnson for the next candidate for
Governor, or let him retire to the domestic
solitude of Gr enville, there to run for al
derman the next opportunity. We hardly
know which to condole with as the matter
now stands the people of Greenville, or the
peaceable citizens of Nashville. If the De
mocracy succeed in pushing Andrew into
the gubernatorial chair, it will be hard on
Nashville.but a relief to the quiet, secluded
borough in East Tennessee; but if alder
manic honors are again conferred, woe
unto the enemies of Ku Kluxism around
Greenville.
TnE Sentiment. When General Grant
received his commission as Lieutenant Gen
eral from the hands of Abraham Lincoln,he
said : ' Chosen to fill the high office to which
you have selected me, I will give to its du
ties the same energy, the same spirir, and
the same will that I have given to the
performance of all duties which have de
volved upon me heretofore." These words
indicate the spirit which the next President
of the United States will bring to the per
formance ot his duties ; and in this promise
the country may rest secure. I

A couple of farm servants on a plantation
in the Southern part of Alabama, who had
been asleep in a loft of a large iarn, were
awakened one morning recently by a great
commotion in the haymow beneath them,
and on looking down saw a scene which,
probably, is without a parallel. Swarming
in through an open window was a .perfect
cloud of wasps, who were attacking a young
army of rats, whose squealing had aroused
the two farm hands. The rats stood upon
their hind legs, in a perfect paroxysm, of
rage and fear, and gnashed their teeth at
the wasps, who stung th ni remorselessly.
The bodies of the rats were terribly swollen
by the poison of the insects, and in their
rage and fury they turned and bit each other.
The hayloft was strewn with the dead bodies
of the rat, until at last the survivors fled
from the scene and left the wasps masters of
the situation.
A Livixg Headless Child.. The
Deposit (N.Y.) Courier is responsible
for the following marvellous story : In
the vicinity of Spoon river, in Illinois,
is a child that -was born and has lived
five vears without a head. Mrs. ,
the mother, is the widow of a soldier,
formerly living in Marshall county,who
enlisted in the 65th or Scotch Regi
ment, aud was killed at the battle of
Devington, Mo. She was standing be
side her husband during the engage
ment, when a cannon ball carried his
bead completely away, his body falling
into her arms, and covering her with
blood. The shock affected her greatly.
When her child was born there was not
the semblance of a head about it. The
limbs are perfectly developed, the arms
long, and the shoulders, where the head
and neck should be, smoothly rounded
off. But the most surprising thing of
all is that the face is situate i in the
breast. Of course,there being no neck,
the power of turning its head is want
ing,except as the whole body is moved ;
but this difficulty is overcome by the
singular faculty it posses of turning its
eyes in their sockets, enabling it to see
quite as well on either side as those
more perfectly formed. The upper
portion of its body is white as purest
Caucasian, and from the waist down is
blood red. This strange creature, now
an active boy of five years old, as if to
compensate for his deformity, possesses
the most clear and bird-like tones ever
listened to, singing with singular cor
rectness everything it may hear,and its
voice at this early age accomplishes two
octaves easily.

out the influence of Gentile books,and
newspapers, which will be Greek to
those who are taught only the Mormon
alphabet. But it will no more answer
the purpose than the scheme of confin
ing the trade of the Mormons to their
own sect, adopted at their late annual
conference.
The Army and 2?avy Journal tells a
good story of one of Sherman's sol
diers, who, at the close of the war, when
he had returned victorious to his home
and household gods, never was able to
accustom himself to the soft luxury of
a feather bed, and was fain to stretch
himself, if he would sleep at all, on
mother earth. One night a chance
pistol shot wakened the veteran, when
he instantly turned over and began to
intrench himself, scratching up the
ground with his hands.
Lawrence, Mass., had one case of
"woman suffrage" on election dav, and
the character of the case is a good ar
gument for giving the voting privilege
to all her sisters. This case occurred
in the Fifth ward, where a strong-will
ed woman, whose husband proposed to
vote the Democratic ticket, took him
by the arm, went with him to the polls,
and when his name was checked bv the
inspectors herself deposited for him a
Grant and Colfax ticket.
Since Grant's election not aKu-Klux
outrage has been reported from the south
Texas even appears to have taken
the hint,for not a negro has been burn
ed alive, nor a Union man assassinated,
since they heard that Seymour ami Blair
have gone up Salt Piiver. There is in
this something very susrirestive as to
cause and effect quite assuring to loyalty.
There i3 a young Irish boy.ten years
old, in Northampton, Mass., has been
kept herding cows, and while thu3 em
ployed has devoted his time to model
ing animals (cows, oxen, sheeD. dorS
and cats) in clay, and the likeness of
some of them is very strikins. With
the aid of brick dust, charcoal and
chalk he makes perfect Durham?.

Prepare tor the Gubernatorial Campaign.
The Republicans of PennsrWania achieved a
glorious victory in October iiiid November, bj -lecting
their State and National candidates, not
withstanding the immense fruuds committed bv
our poli lical opponent It bow remains with the
people to see that the standard bearers of our
glorious party are properly sustained in their ef
forts to establish confidence in the stability of our
institutions, renewed actirity in all branches of
industry, and the restoration of amity and pod
fetlowsnip with all the people of our common
country That the Telegraph has contributed iu
full share to tbe glorious victories recently gain
ed will not be denied, eren by our political op
ponents. Look at the result in car own Countj,
whei e the editor labored night and day during
the canvass, through the paper and personal vis
its to our Repulican friends in the county the
unprecedented majority of twenty-one hundreJ
and ten was the result n t point also with pride
to the result in our neighboring countiesof Perry
Lycoming. Union. Snyder and Northumberland,
where upwards of six thousand copies of the Trl
egraph were weekly distributed.
THE GUBF.RXATORIAL CONTEST.
While personally we deBire rest from political
turmoil, at least for a while, we cannot close our
eyes to the fact that our ever Tiilant opponents
are already preparing for the Gubernatorial con
test next year; and as we believe that in time of
peace we should prepare for war.we would exhort
our political friends to make preparations for
coming contingencies at once, and
CIRCULATE THE NEWSPAPERS
among your neighbors. If yon hare a Republi
can paper in your county that is true and reliable
to the party, it should be preferred to those print
ed in other counties After yen have done tbis,
and yoa and your friends desire a true and relia
ble Republican journal from abroad, we oald
recommend to you eitber tbe
WEEKLY OR DAILY TELEGRAPH
They ar published at the seat of our !teioT
ernment. and will contain full reports of the do
ings of the National and State Legislatures. Tb'T
will sustain our triumphantly elected leaders in
the establishment of "Peace" all over toe land
with all the power they can oonimand.
The Telegraph belongs to no clique. It o
eourse has ica preferences before nominations are
made for office, but when once made, the Trl"
graph has ceTer failed, since it has been under
our control, to sustain the candidates presented
with tbe same energy and teal as though its n
personal friends were on the ticket.
