New York gives a majority of about 13, C()0 for this Democratic State ticket, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin have gone largely Republican, as Las West Vir-K'Ilia- . . New Jersey has renewed her adhesion to the idol of Democracy, ps has Maryland also to the "lost cause." Some of our Democratic exchanges have been airing their roosters, iu htor-ef their ejreat vuitwry in New York. Since Asa Talker's defeat in the race for Governor, the stock ol the Lehigh Valley Railroad had declined to $52 per share. Col.

There are estimated to be in the United States and Territories and the British pos sessions in America, 454,355 Free and Ac ccptcd Masons. In Pennsylvania there are :w,sro. The Ilarri.sburg Patrio talks on the pub lic debt about in this wsy : "If you owe me ten dollars, and pay me five, then you'll owe me fifteen." Surely, that is very logical, if not convincing. Rota Republican and Democratic papers throughout the State are advocating the re pcal of the law authorizing borough and township elections to be held iu the fall. Spring elections are preferred. Some of the small-fry Democratic papers still talk of contesting Geary's election. Poor fellows! It is really too bad that the Registry Law prevented them from electing Packer by fraud, as they did Shars wood two years ago. . - Mr. Mackey will probably be re-elected State Treasurer without serious opposition, lis has made an excellent officer, being an experienced and pitted financier. He is also a gentleman of pleasant address aud a first rate Republican. Col.

Late intelligence from England indicates that her Rritish majesty is favorable to tbc reduction of postage for pre-paid letters to six cents. There is little doubt of an early ,doitiun f tiia treasure of postal reform on the part of Great Britain and the Uuited Slates. Clark Wilson, Esq., has started a new paper at Lowrenceburg, opposite Parker's Landing, called the "North western Inde pendent" The paper is neatly printecLand is devoted to the oil interests in anl around Lawrenecburc We wish our old friend Miecess in his present undertaking. If die publie debt is increasing, as is al leged by the Democratic arithmeticians, why i. it that the premium on cold continues to decline? There is no telling what Demo cratic figures cannot do, aud next we may expect to see them endeavoring to show an increase in our State debt, under Republi can rule. The New York Herald thinks that Andy Johnson's defeat for Senator in Tennessee will be tb last of him, and that he will probably retire on his laurels, make a new suit of clothes for himself, and then write a Jjook. The Jlcndd thinks he could get twenty thousand dollars tor a book on the upsand dowosJns audouts.tbe pipe laying and dead duel, the kitchen cabinets, the lobby and the mysteries and miseries of his administration. ' The nobility of President Grant's charac ter, says the Rufiido prr.,' wns never more strikingly illustrated than in his dec laration, in a letter to hit brother-in law, Judge Deut, iu these inud words : "In public matters persocal feelings will not in fluence me." Nobler or braver words were never uttered bv anv man in the high places of the earth. They raise even the hero of Appomatx ln ue regard and conuJeace ol Lis .ever grateful countrymen. Gov. Hoffman struck his first attitude as a Presidential aspirant, in a speech at Al bany, on Saturday last. He promises many wonderful thing; the uiost strange thing being that he is going to make the New York Legislature perfectly honest in the Lands of a Democratic majority in both branches. He, however, made no promise to rebriu the immense rascalities practiced by his party friend? in New rk city, where, perhaps, there is more room for re form than in any other locality iu Christen dom. it The Secretary of the Commonwealth hav ing been pestered with an extensive corre spondence originating with justices of the peace and aldermen throughout the State, requests the peremptory statement that no commissions will be sent to, or wade out, for the newly elected aldermen or justices of the peace prior to the time at which their commissions were formerly issued. 'lhe registry law only changed the time of eioc tion, not the terms of the officers formerly chosen at the spriug elections. Their com missions will not be furthcoming lor some ijx moaih?. The Late Elections. The Republican party says the I hila dc.lrrhia Bulletin .w no cause to be disap pointed with any of the results of Tuesday's elections, eve y 1 e -e, Republicanism has a goo I l.o'd upon the popular mind an 1 v. ill, far deeper and more permanent than has been imagined, even among many astute politicians. They indicate that the cohe sive power of the Republican party lies, not in the violent excitements of such a great convulsion as tlu late Rebellion, but in the sober, educated sentiment of the respecta ble and intelligent people of the United States. A general survey of Tuesday's battle Geld shows that Republicanism his hell its own most satisfactorily, while iu some places it has gained important victories. Jn New York city, for instance, the monstrous Dem ocratic frauds of List year have been signal ly rebuked, and the Republican gain there, under the pressure of those unparalleled ras calities, has gone far to counterbalance the effect of that apathy in the interior which eo often attends the minor elections in the large States. New Jersey has d)ne better than she did hut y -ar, inak'ng a gain in the Republican vote of her Liiislature. Wis consin comes up with her splendid majority, and Minnesota stands true to her free prin ciples. Massachusetts has indulge! in a sort.of mixed fisrht, in which she has jum bled Liquor questions, and Labor questions, and Republicta questions with a free-and-easy indifference to the benighted Democ racy within her border, that can only be af forded in such a staunchly Republican com munity as that of the Ray State. In Illi nois there was no State ticket to be elected, and we have therefore no indications as to the general results of the vote on the local tickets. Maryland is joined to her rebel ido's,and there she will probably remain long after the country generally has risen to the higher levels of a pure and eulighteued Re publicanism. A Temporary Dissolution. A politi--cal cotemporary says that the Richmond Whig does not speak to the Northern Dem ocrats in an over-encouraging way. It thinks that one effect of the Ohio and Perm sylvania elections will be the temporary dis sdutionof "the Democratic party." How many such "temporary dissolutions" the party will be able to stand with the least hope of subsequent recinsolidation, we do not undertake to determine. It was "dis solute" enough before, the Lord knows. If a man wore sick unto death it would be rath er cold comfort, if a friend should approach his bedside and kindly whisper : "The soon er you die the better for you. Don't be frightened it's only 'temporary.' It's 'discouraging,' certainly, but the sooner you go through with it the better. You have no idea how fre-h and lively you will feel after it. So jurt go ahead with your dying, my good fellow, you will be a sound man to morrow." Whether the H7i"7 will see in the November elections any rensqn to recon struct its rather mournful diagnosis of the condition of the Democratic party and give it a temporary respite from "temporary dis solution," we know not yet. As, howsver, the Democratic roosters were not sufficiently exhilerated by the news from New York and Maryland to come forth and flop their wings as of yore.it is rather doubtful wheth er the Whig will find much comfort in it. New IT. 3. Senator. Gov. Chamber lain. of Maine, has filled the vacancy in the United States Senate occasioned by the death of Mr. Fisscnden by the appointment of Hon. Lot M. Morrill. Mr. M. is a gen tleman of fine education and large legislative experience. Ry profession a lawyer.having been admitted to the bar in Io39. In 1S51 he was a member of the Maine House of Representatives; in 1856 a member of the Senate; in 858 Governor of the State, to whidi office he was twice re-elected by the Republican party. lie was chosen United States Senator in ISol for the unexpired term of Hannibal Hamlin, who had been e lectcd Vice President of the United States, and iu the same year he was a member of the Peace Congress. In 18G3 he was re elected to the United States Senate, end was a candidate agaiu for the same office last year, but was beaten by Hannibal Hamlin. He will probably be elected for Mr. Fessen- den's unexpired term by the Legislature, which meets in Jaauary next, although he will have formidable opponents iu the per sons of Speaker Rlaine, General Sheply, and, it is said, Governor Chamberlain. Taxes Reduced. The most wonderful feature of our national income i', that it is so grcaJ as compared with the revenue o last year. .During I860 a large amount of tax has been rented, and yet the revenue receipts thus far exceed that of last year One year ago the tax on fli -.'illed spirits was $2 00 per gallon. It has been decreased to 50 cents. When we estimate in our cwn mind that this tax produced one year ago a goo 1 bulk of our national income, it is a matter of wonder that this alone did not largely reduce our revenue this year. Be sides this, a tax of 20 cents jer gallon on refined coal oil was collected in IsfiS that is not collected in ISC). The tax on manufac tures is reduced from five per cent, in lsGS to two per cent, iu 1SG1. Pianos in IStiS paid each $.", in 1SC9 nothing. All carri age worth 1-iOO paid a tax of $i, and of 200 a fix of $2. In 1S09 n carriage is taxed unless worth $f(0. Thus it will be seen that with t lie old administration in power, there was a probability of our debt showing an increase at this time, instead of a decrease of over 03,000,000, wkhin tight months under the new administration. Tht. New Jehsky Election. Concern ing the election in New Jersey, the Newark Conriir pays: "We feel perfectly well satisfied with the result in New Jersey, and have not the slightest doubt of our being able to return a Legislature next year that will elect a Republican United States Sen otor. We have gained !!! that could rea sonably !e expected, and are really in a bet ter position with the Executive and Senate against us, than if we had a majority in the l-jwer II'Miso.as we escape ail responsibility, and yet are powerful enough to prevent hos tile legislation uf a partisan character." True Beginning op the End. The edi tor of the St, Mary's (i izrtte, the organ of the Eik county Democracy, seems to have become thoroughly disgusted with the man agement and leaders of his party, la a re- ' csnt issue, the editor says: "We will support neither men nor mea sures simblv because thev bear the good old Democratic name ; neither will we denounce measures which emanate from the Republi can side, simply because of their origin. What we deem subversive of the interests or' the people, we will emphatically denounce ; whatever would redound to their benefit we will heartily advocate. We admire and re vere 7itre and real principles of Democracy, but we assert that under the teachings of the unscrupulous demagogues, led and ruled by William A. Wallace and his elan, Penn sylvanians have imbibed anything but De mocracy, and so loug as a party permits itself to be so ruled.it is worthy and deserv ing of nothing but defeat ; and the Demo cratic party has fontrht its last battle, unless a change Le speedily effected. It will be sufficient for us to know that when this great brained, able demagogue advises ororiginates any scheme, we wiii oppose it; fir we be lieve that Wallace and political villainy arc are synonomous terms. We will advocate a protective tariff ; that home produtions and native jkill may find a worthy and full re muneration." Death of Rear Admiral Stewart. The Secretary of the Navy has received in telligence of the death of Rear Admiral Chas. Stewart, of the Ironsides and Consti tution frigate fame, which occurred at Bor dentown, N. J., on Saturday, Nov. Cth, at three o'clock. Admiral Stewart was ninety two years of age, aud had served seventy one years.having entered the navy as a lieu tenant, on the 'Jib of March, 17'JS. Secre tary Robeson will to-morrow issue an order announcing his death and direct that the flags at all the navy yards and stations, and on all vessels in American waters, be placed at half mast on the day of the funeral, which will occur on Wednesday, the 10th inst., at Philadelphia. Vessels on duty in foreign waters will observe the order on the day of its receipt. "Extravagance." During the late po litical campaign, the burden of the song of the Democracy was, "Republican extrava gance." To show the entire fallacy of their charges, it is only necessary to say that, un der the judicious management of our State finances, the administration of Gov. Geary is now enabled to anticipate the payment of the loan which is due on July 1, 1870. Was ever such recklessness heard of before? Think of the miserable management that accumulates a sinking fund faster than the debts fall due, and then absurdly offers to pay them to save the people a little interest I This is truly unpardonable, and we shall ex pect to hear much of it through the Demo cratic press. Accepts the Situation. The Memphis Avalanche, which is a Southern paper of the extreme ts'pe, but with consideiable good sense, reads the meaning of the recent election pretty clearly, and states il with plainness. It says. Notwithstanding the Radicals had to car ry the odium and unpopularity of the Fif teenth Amendment, they have still triumph ed over the Democratic party, led by its ablest champions. Everybody knows that negro sufferage is unpopular in the North. It was defeated iu Ohio two years ago by 50.000 majiirity: yet, mo dp routed is tlie hatred the Northern ptojde towards the Democratic party, that they have signified their willingness to accept negro sultrage in prelercuee to accepting Democracy. "Percisei.t" So! The Wiiliauisport Standard, having been ucd up politically by the October election, now devotes a part of its columns to assailing the pulpit. It gives long prayers a sly hit, perpetrates a joke on a clergyman, and accuses the clertty generally of preaching the "Radical gos pel." The devil and the Standard agree with singular unanimity on the last point. We next expect to bear of its rejection of the Bible, on account of radical clauses. Tbc editor can get all the arguments iu that line he wants from Cincinnati, where his Democratic friends aided by a few Republi cans have abolished Taa Bjjk from the publie eclools. A "Victory," Eh? The Democratic r arty has won a splendid victory in N. Y. city. Their majority ol 75,000 for Hoff man, lat year, now shrinks to but 4o,000 against Sigel, and only 39,000 against Gree ley. This Democratic "victory" in New York is about aa satisfactory and eneou ra cing as their "victory" in Pennsylvania of which they boast so much. They are wel come to all such victories. Repentant. The other day Commis sioner Delano received a letter from Cincin nati, enclosing a large amount of revenue stamps, which read as follows. "Dear Vir: Inclosed please find three handred and sixty dollars worth of stauipSjWhich I stole. I've reformed." The "conscience fund" now reaches nearly 150,000. It will probably soon be ucd in helping liquidate the na tional debt. On TnE Decline. The premium on gold still declines, slowly but very steadily. It is understood that the Treasury will put at least $10,0U'), 000 more upon the market du ring the month. Evidently, the supply is, and will continue, in excess of the demand, and lower rates are looked for. The gold gamblers should set up another corner just Mr. Greeley takes his defeat with char acteristic imperturability. He says he did not want the office, l-ttt that the office sought him.

S. navy is not so diminutive or weak as some Spanish papers would have the world suppose.

It is suggested, in view of the reported probability that the legal tender act will be declared unconstitutional, that banks,for their own protection, should have a written agreement with their customers that their demands shall be liquidated in the Fame kind of money that they deposit ; that is to say, that greenback debts shall be paid in greenbatks,and gold debts in gold. On the other hand, borrowers should take care to have the same agreement with those from whom they borrow or with whom they make contracts. A resumption of specie pay ments may be so remote as to make the.-e preparations unnecesary, but they can do no harm even should the consummation te as remote as the aduiirer3 of paper money hope. A Richmond correspondent of the Balti more Sun writes that the movements of the negroes to the far South, under the in ducements of a more genial clime and high wages, is assuming large proportions. The colored labor of the country is gravitating to the localities it is best adapted to, and leaving a clear field for the northern and European emigrants. The writer was told by railroad men that the negroes are daily leaving the Slate, under contracts, in par ties varying from twenty five to one hundred They do not all go direjtly to the cotton field and sugar plantation five hunlred.for instance, being called for, and rapidly re sponding, to work on a Chattauooga rail . road. Mr. Vallandigham nominates Mr. Chase for President. By pursuing "a liberal policy towards'thosii not hiiherto acting with us," says he, "which we arc sure the De mocracy will pursue, all will yet end well. The essential principles of the party mu.-t be preserved, or all is lost. The Democrat ic organization can be preserved, then, while at the same time cutting itself loose from all dead issues and obsolete questions." The party must indeed be in a bad way when it hopes to improve its condition by taking up Mr. Chase. The vote of Nebraska for the fiftaonth amendment wiii be given the moment the L'gis'atue, largely Republican, is in ses sion. The next regular meeting is not to the winter of 1870 71. Governor Butler is urgently invoked by the Republican paj crs of Nebraska to call a special session within thirty days,and their wish is warmly second el by many journals in other States. The Governor would gratify bis friends and help the good cause by accceding to this fervent invocation. It is estimated that by the end of the year 1PG9 there will be laid in the United Stall's, in round numbers, une hundred and ten th'iand Ions of steel rail, equal to c leveti hundred miles of steel read; and of this amount thirty six thousand totis, equal to three hundred aud sixty miles, will be laid during toe present season. These rails arc iu use on more than fi!iy different roads, and are partly of American, principally of Eng'i.-h,mid,'to a small extent, of Prussian manufacture. A letter from a prominent Government official at New York eoutaius the informa tion that Government secuities generally have a downward, tendency, and foreshad owing a crisis in Wall street, which, in its results, will equal the fatal effects of the late gold conspiracy. The same authority predicts a resu uption of specie payment within six uionthj if the present financial policy of the Government is continued. Agriculturists in California are turning their attention to the raising of opium. Tin poppy plant, it is found, will prow there al most without cultivation, and the gathering of the juice of heads, of which opium con sists, is as simple an operation as the mak ing of maple sugar. Raw opium is worth about $20 a pound, and it will be seen that the pecuniary inducements to embark iu the business are very great. The Reform Convention of Jewi.-h Rabbis, in session at Philadelphia, Friday, adopted resolutions favoring a change in the marital laws, acknowledging the woman as the c qual of the man, and providing for an ex change of rings as a part of the ceremony, and also abolishing divorces by the Church and leaving the power of divorces entirely to the judiciary of the States. The West Visginia Legislature will stand IS to 4 in the Senate and 32 to 24 in the House, for the Republicans. In these fig ures, the Wheeling Intelligencer concedes the extreme opposition claims, in counties not yet fuliy reported. About one-third of the Republican members are favorable to the abrogation of existing restrictions upon the franchise. In Cincinnati, recently, a majority of the Board of Education decided to exclude the Bible, as a reading book, from the common schools. Upon application to the Courts, an injunction was granted restraining the majority of the Board from enforcing their decision. There matters stand at present What the final result will be, remaius to be seen. London journals speak regretfully of the death of George Peabody. His philanthro py and private virtues made him as con spicuous in England as in America, and as keeuly susceptible of appreciation by a peo pie who-.c poor he cared for as children. Gov.

The Altoona Tribune of November 3d, is responsible for the following singular story relative to a young man suddenly raised from poverty to affluence. It says ; "We have recently been made acquainted with the facts in a case, which, in its sim plicity of development and astounding se quel, far surpasses the wildest fancy of the wildest novelist, aud is somewhat as follows : A youtig man giving his name as Harry Stewart arrived in Altoona, not lng since, in a state of complete dc-titution, and culled upon ilev. Mr. Guyer, to whom be stated that his parents had died in IJaho, leaving him alone and penniless; that they had come from England and moved to Idaho when none but Indians inlested that ter ritory, and that he had never enjoyed any advantages of education save what his tn til er had given biui. He had heard in Idaho that in Pennsylvania orphans were given educations lor nothing, and he desired to reach Ilanit-burg to obtain ati entrance to one of the State institutions of learning. Tbe boy appeared ingenious.and greatly in terested Mr. Guyer in his behalf, who took him to Mr. John Shoemaker's office. Mr. S hoemaker speedily obtained him a situa tion in Black's plaining mill, but after work ing three or four hours he came back and stated that he wished to go on to Harris burg. A pa-fs to that pla.to was procured Sbr him, and ha was s;nt on his way, those who had been willing to befriend him soon forgetting il about him in the bmy care of life. While in conversation with Mr. Guyer, the boy had stated that his mother had left him some papers which she declared were very valuable, but which he could not read. When iu Harri.sburg a sudden thought struck him, and lie entered the law ofli? of Mr. 11. Miunich, to whom he thowel his papers. A brief examination of tbe docu ments showed the latter their true nature, aud heat once telegraph d to tha British Miuistcr at Washington who in turn tele graphed to the American Minister at Ixn don, and iu a short time answer was return ed that young Stewart was heir to an en tailed fortune amounting to $o3,OfK.MXH) in gold, deposited in the Bank of Loudon, and equal to about i77,OWi,W in Amcricau currency. This lortune has been lying in the Bank for some six generations and has thusi increased to its present va:;t propor tions. l'ouiig Stewart's identity as the lec.ul heir to this va.-t possession, has been !ix-d beyond doubt, aud h will receive tboCr.st instalment of about $.'5,0':)'J,0 )) during the preseut month. What effect the sudden possession ot immense wealtn wiii liave ut on the mind and character of a young, uuud- ucited aud inexperienced boy, remains to be seen. Stewart appears to have a large ehare of sturdy common sense, a well-Lid aneed though uneducated mind, and con iidorablo natural .'hiewduess, and il he is fortunate enough to e.x;ape tbe wiles r.f the human sharks that will be attracted by the glitter of his gold, may soon learn to use it for the benefit of his fellow man, an J the still further enrichment of himself.
