Id another column we pubii.sk the pro
clamation of I'lesiuent Grant, recommending
Thursday, November 2-Uh, as a day of
thanksgiving.
There ate reasons for expecting that Chief

It is stated ex-Congressman Whittemore
has been defeated for the South Carolina
Senate by a colored man. 31.-. W., it will
be remembered, was turned out of Congress
fjr his alleged connection with the selling
out the nomination of acaJotship for a con
sideration. The World thinks the electiou law of
Congress ought to be calle J "a law ilr di
minishing Democratic majorities." The
World has hit the nail right on the head in
this instance, and certainly realize the full
effect of the election law. It will materially
reduce Democratic majorities by preventing
fraudulent registering and voting.
The Republicans of Iowa put Protection
into their platform, at the recent election
and carried the State by the largest majority
ever given but one that given to Grant.
In the les Moines District an out and out
Free Trader was put up against Palmer,
Protectionist, and Palmer wis elected by the
largast majority ever given in the DUtiict.
The Democracy are figuring very hard
to make Pennsylvania a Democratic Slate.
Democratic figures Luve, however, a repu
tation of being a little loo?e, and the calcu
lations don't all agree. Is is a pity, how
ever, to deprive '.he Democracy of ths joy
their calculations five thetu, and which
they fai.'ed to receive from the voses of their
party.
Tho official account of Governor Scott
relative to the recent outrages committed in
South Carolina, s'ates thut at lca:t sixty

the Democracy wouIJ be triumphant and
when it was discovered to be defeated, out
rages u;aitist Republicans were at once
ci-iiimeij'.-ed. Application for a military
force to be stationed in that State, it i.s said,
Trill be trrauteJ, and .similar outrages thus
be prevented. It seems, however, as though
the ruling spirit of the Ddinocrany was rit.
West Virginia Democracy carries out the
letter and spirits of the Democratic press, ,
to its roughs. General Harris and Mr. Old j
ham discussed the political issues of the day,
on Wednesday, the 24th of October at West j
Union, West Virginia. The discussion was j
carried on very temperately and gentlemanly j
on both sides, and the result was a complete '
Itepublican triumph. Ou his way home,
some one unable to stand the logic of the
General struct him in the dark with a larpe
stone, injuring him very seriously. This
was a Democratic triumph, a "while man's"
victory.
Ex-Senator Bucfcalew is fctrongly opposed
to the Crawford-county system of making
nominations. Ilia opinion, coming from a
man whohasgiven much attention ai:d thou
ght to minority representation, atid whose
motives cannot be otherwise than unrjM -s-tioncd.
ouht to possess a double weight,
lie thinks it a plan of plurality representa
tion, whereby the minority are every com
monly overruled, or rather coerced into sup
port of a candidate to whom they are oppos
ed. It also tends strongly, in his opinion,
to produce fraud and increase the expense
of a canvass.
Protection is crowing among the people,
notwithstanding all the efforts to talk them
over to Free Trade. Protection is practical.
Free Trade is a theory, au 1 the public pre
fers what it can understand. The following
remark of the St. Louis Tribune shows
what advance the American principle is !
making in Missouri : "The brass founders j
of St. Louis say that since the developments
of the zinc mines of Missouri, -inder the j
Protective Tariff, they are able to compete I
with foreign manufacturer, (five good wajres
and prosper, though the price of copper is
high, for brass in common u e is ma le of
copprrand zinc They expect when our tin
mines are developed, under the same pro
tection, they will be able to give good wage.-,
and prosper in the manafiicture of the better
description of brass."

The truth is, the Xorthern Democrats

The Southern Democrats formerly made

lk Republican majority on the aggre
gate Coiigreisional vote, at the last election
in Pennsylvania is about 2,547. So the
Democratic roosters crowed prematurely
over a claimed Pcraocratie majority of 8,000
on the same vote.
The Republican majority of Iawa in 1360
was 12.4S7, and in 1S70, 41,000. There are
only four Democratic counties in the State,
and there are three counties that do not
poll a single Democratic vote. The Repub
licans elected all the rucuibers of Congrcsa
from Iowa.
The official result of the election h;;M in
Ohio on October 11, is announced as fol
lows i Sherwood, the Republican canJi iate
for Secretary of State, h i? 221,70?, votes
against 204,079 for Htisley, the Democrat.
The Republican majority is, therefore,
16,7.jO, coupled with a total falling off in
the vote of the whole State of 25,700 since
the election of 1SG9, when the Republican
majority was 7,501.
The States of South Carolina and West
Virginia, h which elections have just been
held, have balanced each other, in that the
former went solidly Republican and the lat
ter is reported to have goue Democratic.
The only matter for surprise is the result in
South Carolina. Of course the presence of
the colore 1 vote explains the result. It
teeiui very like a case of poetic justice.

Capitol Convention Collapsed. It
is probable that we ahall hear but little for
sometime to come of the proposition to re
move the national capitol. The gentlemen
who engaged in the enterprise of getting
up a convention met with so many misfor
tunes, that after a two days' session at Cin
cinnati, they gave the matter up in disgust,
and went home. Greeley male sport of
them by proposing New York as the proper
place for the capitol. Forney did worse, by
quoting to thrm the sayings of Western
men in opposition to the project. And
some one else d.alt the finishing blow by
moving an a ijoarnuient sine die. This was
the Wst and c.-uelest blow of all. To save
ar peai auces th.5 chairman appointed a com
mittee to memorialize Congress on tho Fub-
joct. As 3ir. U.-etlcy Is on the committee,
it may be readily seen th'it the
Wisllft.S Ol
the speculators in capitol removing will not
be very fully realized.
Capitulation of Mktz. At last we have
official inte-liiyeiK'3 of the capitulation: of
Melz. Raz.iine and his whole army, e.sti.
mated at 170,000, including the regular gar
rison and 3 l,0'i) nek, are pris-oners of war
to the Prussians. This is the greatest vic
tory of the campaign. The number of pris
oners exceeds by one half those taken at
Sedan, and th-spoils of war, cannon, small
arms, ammunition, etc., roust h- immense.
The capitulation of Metz will enable King
William to send larg reinforcements to
I'aris and other points against which his ar

- Loss ov Life at Sea. Another terrible
disaster and loss of life at sea, has occurred.
The steamship Cambria, which left New
York on the Sth of October for Glasgow,
with 170 passengers, besides the officers and
crew, was lost on Wednesday night a week,
off the Irish coast, ai:d of the whole num
ber on board, only on; person is so far
known to have been saved. A small boat
was picked up containing a sailor, and a
corpse of a pirl. Four other boats, con
taining passengers, left the steamer, but
have not yet been heard of. The sailor re
ports that his own boat was upset, and all
in it but himself were drowucd. Win.
Bingham, Jr., wife and twa children, of
Pitt-burg, were anione the passengers.
Tho area of the organized Territories of
the United States including Alaska.is great
er than all the States which have been ad
mitted into the Union. There are nearly a
billion of acres of land in these Territories,
and not over a halt a million of white in
habitants. In natural resources this territo
rial domain is richer than the area included
in the States. The latter contain say 40,-
000,000 inhabitants. But here is a country
waiting for 40,000,000 settlers, and even
the.-e would hardly be near enough for neigh
borhood purposes. Railraods will open up
the country and bring iu population. What
a magnificent country to carve into home
steads for 40,000.000 landless people.
The-.Pre 'hows that according to ihe in

to the increase in voters, there should be

crease in tax payers, the population should
be 742.S55. As it thinks either of these
results is actually too small, it is somewhat
dissatisfied with the census enumeration of
only G57.159 persons.

Our Noith western States are sometimes

second crop of oats, and for a second time
