Z 1 tTIM. TEMISDNY, NOVEMBER 12, 18G3 Tut Tuna, and last session of the Fortieth Congress (may its like never more be seen) will commence on Monday, December 7th. Unless the present law is repealed, thelfirst session of the Forty-first Congress •ill com mence at noon on the 4th of March. Is accordance with the previous adjourn ment; a session (if such it can be called) of Congress was held on Tuesday, lasting less than' four minutes, which was attended by no Democrat in the House, and only one in the Senate, while Senators Wade, and three others represented the Republicans. In the House, except:4lr. Colfax, only six others, all Republiemil, 'Were on_hand. brief prayer in each House, thanking the Lord for bringing the people to "right conclusions" in politics, both bodies adjourned. A SILLY MOVE - Some politicians, hungering for a bite at the spoils of the Federal Government under the coming regime, have proposed that the Seymour electors should case their votes unanimously for'Grant in the Electoral Col ,legt.. The pretence is that Generfli Grant would be relieved from any cbligation to the Radicals forlis*election, whereas every body knows thrit he is under no obligation at all to the extreine portion of that party, and 'Olathe IVSS only their nominee by ne cessity.. The real object of the proposal that the Seymour electors should vote tor him is - only a bid to sell out the Democracy for a slice of the spoils. There is not the slightest chance that any such absurd suggestion will be adopted. The Democracy would make it eb hot for thq traitors who could so basely betray their.confidence that they would be glad to escape the country.. f THE NETT PRESIDENT. N. Y. Herald expects that "the elec tion of Gen. Grant will be the beginning of the end of radicalism and the dawn of a new and- better dispensation." It states that "soon after his nomination, Gen. Grant said to a friend, who is a prolninent officer in the Nyar Department, that he had always been a Democrat and that he was a Democrat yet. He did net seek the Presidency', and did not care to fill that office for the mere honor or profit that it would' bring him ; but he did feel ambitious to be the means of restoring the country to its former peace and tranquil lly by completing, through civil authority, what as a military officer he-was obliged to leave unfinished. - Taking the testimony of those who have enjoyed to a greater or less degree the friendship and confidence of Gen. Grant, there does appear to br t a very well founded reason fin' indulging these expecta tions. Those who know him best assert that the General is possessed of an ardent desire to contribute all that is in his power towards softening the asperities of -Ithe present condi- tion of affairs in the country, and that he ai "‘ C teek: to so exercise the prerogatives of 11 office as to deserve the respect of all parties. Our expectations do not equal our hopes. TUE FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS Though General Grant is tip be the Presi dent of .the United * States after March 4th, 1809, he will not have such au oYerwhelm ing Radical majority in the next House of Representatives as has cursed the nation for the last four years. The Fortieth Congress, including the Southern carpetbaggers, was thus politically divi le l : Radicals, Democrats, Radical majority, - - - 110 Two-thirds, - - - - - 142 According to the latest returns at hand; the political complexion of the next House of RepresentatiCes will be as follows: Radicals, . 138 Democrats, - Radical majority, - - - 61 Two-thirds, In this calculation it is assumed that the Radicals Will elect three Congressmen in New Hampshire next March, and two, of the four to be chosen in Connecticut in April, though in the latter State they may se cure but one, as was the case, at the Congres sional election of 1867. Thus, it will be seen that the Radicals will not have a two,thirds vote in the. Forty-first as they have in the present Congress. c THE FINANCIAL. PANIC. Our latest advices from New York say that Wall street continues in an excited and unhealthy condition, end indicate that we are entering upon a period of financial de pression like that which overtook England before the resumption of specie payments. Government stocks continue to fall, and. though Secretary McCullough has promised to ease the money market by issuing more greenbacks, the great financial kings do not seem to put much faith in his ability to change the tide. Before the election, great promises were made of the happyeffects that would follow grant's election. Now we have the sequel, as given by the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, a paper whose authority on mbney matters is beyond question: ' "The sudden and heavy depreciation in stocks has made beggars of many who, a few days ago, accounted themselves rich. The government credit is suffering severely along with the rest, while in mercantile cir cles business is well nigh paralyzed, owing to the impossibility of procuring discounts: Not a few Western men, who have been here to borrow money to move the crops, have gone home as they went. It is now ac: knowledged on - all hands that if this state of things does not experience a change her the better, soon, the most disastrous consequen ces to general business are inevitable." FEARFUL that they would be beaten in Florida, even over the bayonet and over the negro vote, the Radical managers at Wash ington caused the negro and carpet-bag Legis lature to pass an act vesting in themselves the choice of Presidential Electors, and tak ing it away from the people altogether! There is no language in which such an act of rascality can be sufficiently condemned. Only the most scandalous party would en tertain the idea for a moment. It is a rob bery of the people of their highest and dearest rights. What Would -have been thought if the present DeMocratic Legisla ture of Ohio had refused to allow the people of that State to, vote for President, and chosen the Electors themselves? Such an act would have led to revolution. • 'A rrtErry quarrel is going on among the carpet-baggers of Florida. Their Governor has proved distasteful to them, and impeach ment articles have been introduced against him in the Legislature. He declines to va cate his of lee; says the Legislature is not a legal body, as most of the members have accepted other offices. The principal mov ers in the Impeachment are the Lieut. Gov ernor; who wants the Governor's place, and a negro Secretary of State. The main charges against the Governor are "lying" and "corruption," which uply with equal force to! most of the carpettaggers. Trrravi thousand white men are disfran chised in.lVest Virginia, seventy thousand in Texas, ninety thousand in Mississippi, eighty thousand in Tainessee, ninety thou sand in Missouri, and large numbers in the other Southern States. This was done by the Radicals. : f More than half a million whites denied the right to vote td gratify party craft, and that power conferred upon as many negrocs Is this "a government of the pea pie by the people," such as white men fought to perpetuate? The November. Elections!. GRANT A MESOTtITY PRESIDENT. Great Gains of DemOOratle Congressmen - Republicans Lose their Two Thirds Vower.• The official figures of the election on Tues day of last week come in slowly, and we arc. unable to give an entirely accurate statement of the results. The following seems to be as nearly correct as can be furnished with the information at hand: NEW, Yom— New York gives Seymour over 0,000 majority, and elects Hoffman: by about 25,000. The discrepancy between them is owing to Hoffman's personal popularity, and to the fact that many who would have vo ted for Seymour disliked Frank Blair. :The Republicans have a majority in the Legisla ture, owing to the unfair manner in which the State is districted, and will return one of their party adherents to the E. S. Senate. The Democrats gain five Congressmen and the Republicans cope in the Buffalo district. The city of New York gave 59,891 majority for Seymour, and G 8,992 for Hoffman.

MARYLAND.—Seymour's majority is :33, 000, with a unanimous delegation to Con gross, a gain ()Cone in our favor. CALIFORNIA is in doubt, but from the fact that the Republicans are claiming frauds, we suspect the State has 'gone for Grant by a small majority. The city of San Francisco gives Seymour 1,313 majority. We have two of the three Congressmen. 01110.—Grant's majority 35,000. Cincin nati'gave 4,704 majority fore Republicans. We gained three Congressmen at the Octo• ber election. - )- 3ficttioxx goes for Grant by 15200. Mil waukee gives a Defnocratic majbrdy 01.2,- 110.

A Re publican Congressman elected. NEnassEs..—Grant's majority 4,000 and the Republicans carry the Congressman. WEST YinGuiTA.—Grant's majority 8,000. The Legislature and Congressmen elect all Republicans. FLORIDA.--in this State the Legislature chose the electors, who are, of course, in fa vor of Grant. The people would have given a large majority for Seymour. The Congres sional election is to he held on the 23d. • DELAWARE gives Seymour 2,500 majority and elects a Democratic Congressman. The States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas 'did not vote, being debarred by act of Congress.

THE financial troubles have reached the West. The Wisconsin State Bank has sus pended, with heavy liabilities, and a run commenced on Saturday on the Milwaukee Bank. AlosT of the publications about Grant's Cabinet arc the merest stuff, and have been manufactured in the brain of some hard-up correspondent or among the loafers eroud Washington. Two thousand stand of arms belonging to the Florida State Arsenal were seized by a party of unknown persons, while in transit through the Statc . on Thursday night and destroyed. A part of them have since been recovered. ON the 24th instant the Fenian Brother hood will hold a Congress in Philadelphia, composed of representatives from all parts of the United States, Canada, Ireland, Austra lia, and delegates from' England and Scot land. Their object Will be to concentrate their views .and lay them before the U. S. Congress for the action of that body. ONE of Gen. Gtnntsfirst acts, atter reach ing Washingtbn, was to order the destruction of several bushels of litters which have been sent to him there, in' relation to offices, &c. No record of them it-as kept, and this timely warning will probably save a vast amount of importunity in advance, and indicates a de termination not to allow the cares of state to weigu htln aown pr . ematurety. THEIZEL is deep tribulation in the-Depart ments at Washington, owing to the involun tary resignations, or departmental hari-kari, now so prevalent among the clerks to pre vent dismissal. The heads of the various Departments have gallantry atones to re tain the pretty female clerks for the present, but the ugly ones meet with no considera tion. Tm. Surratt case came up in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia at.

' TILE completion of two more sections OD each end of the Pacific Railroad leaves only four hundred miles to be constructed, which are being completed at the rate of six miles per day, with the probability that two hun dred miles more will be finished this winter, and the other two hundred laid down in April. and May next. The President has or dered the Commissioners to examine the line to a point beyond the nine-h rndretith mile post west from Omaha. THE latest accounts from China and Japan show the prospects of the Christian mission aries to be anything but encouraging in those countries. At Yangchow, Mr. Taylor, the head of the Protestant mission, and his par ty have narrowly escaped death at the hands of a mob of infuriated Chinese, some thous and strong, who attacked and burnt the mis sion house ; and a decree laying the Christian religion under a formal , interdict has. been posted up at Honiara and the gate of Yoko hama. THE President has , been employing agents in the ssclveral cities of the United States, And especially in New York, to_ secretly search into the alleged frauds and corruptions going on among the reverutte officers and outside rings with which they work. These agents, lawyers of ability, firmness and integrity, have done their'duty quietly but effectively, and arc now prepared with affidavits and evidence showing the most startling Bands throughout the entire Internal Revenue Bu reau, and "implicating a large majority of those holding positions of trust under the Treasury Department. They are at present in Washington arranging the preliminaries for the grand raid soon to be made upon those who have been engaged in robbing the Government for the, past four or five years. Tun stock market in New York city, opened and closed in a panic on Tuesday, and the indications are that we ire entering upon a violent financial crisis, the end of which cannot be foreseen. The monetary stringency continues without material abate ment, failures are occurring and some of the speculative stocks are falling at the rate of from ten to twenty percent. a day. The truth about it appears to be that stocks have been held at factitious figures by reason of the manipulations of "the street," while other Commodities were slowly regaining their nor mal prices, and, now that the inflating ap paratus is removed, they collapse suddenly, in place .of dwindling gradually, as they ought. Moreover, holders have continued to, keep them up to excessively high rates in hope that the election of Grant would, in some inexplicable manner, ease the market, and make eery body happy at - once. Now that every everybody finds himself or his neighbor battered, the bottom is out of the specidative tub. Look out for lively times." K LNG WI/41AM ofkPrussia has opened the Prussian Dint with a speech from the throne. The relations of Prussia are declared to be satisfactory and fears- of war groundless. Baron Beust,since Sadowa the leading spirit in Austria, advises a peaceful solution of the Schleswig-Holstein difficulty. This does not mean much from due point of view, but it means a great deal from another point of view. Austria is not able to go to war with Prussia, and Austria is the only party which has just cause to feel aggrieved by the non fulfilment by Prussia, of the treaty of Prague.

He could not elude the Harris burg politicians, though, who were on hand for a reception when be reached that city. After reaching Washington, he kept himself aloof from all corners during the day, passing most of his time at the army headquarters. The sentinel on duty in front of his residence, and the servants at the door, were all ques tioned without success by the reporters. It is understood that he intends remaining in Washington during the winter, and the main subject that disturbs his mind at present is how to evade the office seeking bores. Tut intimations of Reverdy Johnson in England that the Alabama claims were vir .tually settled or were likely to be satisfactorily adjusted are not warranted by any know ledge in the possession of the State Depart ment. Mr. Johnson has made several propo sitions to the English Government which they would not accept, and they have made propositions which Mr. Seward would not accept, and there has been some telegraph ing lately upon the subject ; but nothing has been agreed upon, nor does there seem to be any probability of getting England into a position where that little bill will be paid by her. ON the 29th the Captain General of Cuba received instructions rrom cue plirrinuurn government to inaugurate such reforms as had been adopted in Spain. \ Up to the 31st, he had kept the dispatch as secret as possi ble.

A yuraCROLS incident is reported to have occurred at the polls in Quincy, Mass. The Hon. Charles Francis Adams deposited a written ballot. A few minutes afterward he returned and stated that by mistake he had pule. receipted bill into the box. An exam ination proved the correctness of the state ment.

We commend to the Tribune a free version of the old lioratian.;maxim "Don't call in the gods to heal a fled-bite." A SPECIAL telegram to the Philadelphia Press, in relation to the. late Radical tri umph in Connecticut, declares "the registry law passed by the late Legislature did the business." That is a fact no one will deny who has examined the law referred to. By the provisions of the act thousands of poor. men were deprived of their votes in Novem ber. They could not comply with its unjust and vexatious provisions. Two days at least were required to perfect a registration, and business operators of the Radical faith denied their employees,whom they knew to be Dem ocrats, absence from labor for this length of time. In all parts of the Union the party in power are attacking the right of poor white men to vote.

It was accompanied by the usual rumbling and gratin, sound, to which was added the loud rattling of window frames, shattering of glass, banging of doors, and the crash of objects falling from shelves and mantels. The first impulse. of nearly everybody was to rush into the streets, which were instantly filled all over the city with excited crowds, including some W.ll o had not yet completed their toilets or had rushed tumultuously from bed. Several light 'shocks were ° felt subsequent*, which in= creased the apprehensions of the multitude, and kept the streets filled as places of safety. The time of the second shock was 9:23 o'clock ; duration five seconds. Lighter and briefer tremors occurred at intervals of about half an hour until fifteen minutes past 12. The more pronounced bf these caused fresh stampedes to the street of those who were at tempting to conduct business or trying to work. Business generally was' suspend ; everybody was in the streets, especially in the dower, the business portion of the city, where the ground is most unsafe, the streets narrowest, and where there are the oldest and worst built brick buildings. The shock was preceded by asabterrane an noise like the rolling of many piece.tof heavy artillery. Then a shivering sensation of the earth, followed by most terrible undulations or waves, causing the houses to rock to and fro and many to tall. Nothing can be com pared to IL No motion or sensation assimi lates it at all except, perhaps, the, fear that might be caused by some unknown, unearth ly,. horrible, supernatural nothing—without a cause or ibundation. Great buildings bent, and heaved, and 'cracked in a manner terri ble to witness. Chimneys tottered and fell crashing to the earth In all parts of the city. Old buildings and thoSe in process of con struction were levelled to the earth, while others were riven from "turret to founda tion-stone." Some window panes were cracked or broken, some chimneys twisted or overthrown, some cornices and firewalls ; crumbled, and considerable plaster split. Mantel ornaments and shelved crockery were thrown down and broken ail over the city. Some top-heavy articles of furniture— like corner etageres loaded with books— were thrown. Tanks and dishes containing ..water and other liquids slopped their con tents. Clocks stopped running. 'Door bells rang. Imperfectly secured doors and -win dow . blinds opened. Toll structures, like steeples and towers,were seen to sway slight ly, and the motion af the earth under the Feet was unpleasantly plain to persons out of doors and not leaning against any superstnte ture. Horses started and snorted, exhibiting every sign of fear, and in some places dash ing off furiously with their riders or attached vehicles. Dogs crouched trembling and whining, and in the suburbs fowls flew to the 'trees • uttering notes of alarm. The panic among women and children was for a lbw minutes excessive, and their cries and tears were very moving. In every case but One the fatal ca.sualities resulted from the falling of brick or plaster, cornices or firewalls upon persons passing upon the sidewalks beneath. Had the shock occurred half an hour later, when a large number of persons would have been on their way to business and labor, many more would have been killed ;Ina wounded. Fissures are opened in the earth in many parts of the city, and springs called into ex- I istence in , the streets. A street car filledl with passengers was upset. The one side of the track has been elevated at least two lest from Its original position. In some of the low made portions of the city, houses have : sunk from six inchei to five feet Into the' earth. Streets are barricaded and houses propped up in every part of the city, at least throughout the business portion of it. Prop erty has already undergone a considerable depreciation in value, and speculators have now a golden opportunity to:amass fortunes in the purchase areal estate. The shock has been fillt more or less severely narotigtwut the State, and in souue places caused considerable destruction of property—though not, as far as ascertained, much loss of life. The Court-house and some other buildings at Los Angelos are re- Lorted in ruins. The Court-house at San eandro is totally deniolished, and Deputy County Clerk, J. W. dosselyn, instantly killed, while flying from the building. The Court-house was used as a prison, and all the prisoners were buried 'neath the ruins, Some fifteen or twenty were confined in the building at the time. Haywood, on the op posite aide of the bay from San 'Francisco, sus tained considerable injury. Edmondson's wheat warehouse is completely demolished. The Washington Hotel, is a hotel no longer— a perfect wreck. Many private residences are in the same condition.- Thousands of, people .were roaming the streets, fearing to remain in their houses. The hotels are al most untenanted: Hundreds of carriages left .the city with persons seeking the open country. ; Attorney As 'far as can be ascertained but ten or -twelve persons have been killed in San Fran cisco, though many more are supposed to be buried under the ruins. About sixty persons have been more or less injured. Many of the most valuable buildings in the city arc coin ,plete wrecks, and will have to be torn down. Many are pronounced unsafe, and people are not'permitted near them. The tall chimney of the workshop of the Alanicda Railroad vibrated more than a foot from its perpen'- dicular line, but was not thrown down. The water of the bay was perfectly smooth at the time of the shock, and no perceptible disturbance of the surface took, place. Even at the edge, where the' ground is almost level and-the water constantly shallow for a considerable distance, the ripple was hardly . noticable. The shock was felt on the steam ers very distinctly, dud the engines were stopped, the officers sUpposing that some ac cident bad occurred th the machinery.. The weather_ was warns and a perfect calm reined just preceding the convulsion. Af ter the earthquakes the atmosphere became extraordinarily fine and 'clear. The first in timation of an earthquake W 2.9 a low rumb ling sound. as of rushing waters or of the wind through the tops of trees, followed im mediately by a rolling motion, as of waves at sea,aud in a moment the motion was changed to one of a circular nature, that emptied pans of milk and tubs of water almost instantane ously. Slight earthquakes have been of almost daily occurrence since .ok.t. 21. On Thurs day night at nine o'clock there was a sharp shock, lasting twelve seconds and creating considerable alarm among the people. No damage was done to property. The quake was heavy at klan Jose. An eye-witness gives the following partic ulars : - "I was sitting at breakfast with my m ifs, children and mother-in law, when the first shock occurred. My wife nervously ti,ked me, "What's that ?" I replied that it was a heavy wagon passing, but a glance showed me that no vehicle was near. I ha.d hardly spoken when the second and heavier shock came, and my wife, with the most intense fear pictured on her face, shrieked that it was an earthquake. Then came the Mita shock, and they all'shrieked in fear and mental ago- ; ny. 3ly wife cried that the wall was orm- I ing. She had seen a crack Mille Master sep- I orate for about an inch. For about a second or two, I was completely unnerved and help leis, but I then partially regained m - compo sure, and, putting my arms round , the wo men, I shouted that there was no (larger at all—let the cartluptake he had as it mi4lit, as we were in a frame house. My wile said that there was, as she thought the earth was Opening. I replied that that was , itnpossible, II as I knew we were upon geed ground and not upon one of the many swamps of.the city which had been covered over. While I was quieting and direCting their attention to heaven and its preserving care, each second shock became stronger than its predecessor, i and with each he shrieks of the women and children grew orse. These, and the fear of the dreadful pl nomenon which was upon us, actually made my flesh creep. It was such a look in my wile's fare that first un nerved me, Finally, in much less time than it has taken to tell this, the last and strong est,undulation occurred. , When the shocks ceased, all were so weak' that they could not stand, and indeed I Was weak enough myself, though it was necessary for me to show a calmness which I did not feel. We found that everybody had rushed to the streets— the place of greatest danger. My family would have hurried out of the house also had I not restrained them. There were four per suns killed, all of whom lost their lives by running out of doors. "Of all the terrible experiences which hu man nature can undergo, by far the most dreadful is an earthquake. It suggests the coming of the last day, with all the terrible convulsions of nature, which are prophesied will accompany it. In fire, storms, and whirlwinds—no matter how dreadful they may be—man can do something, and still feels his power; but in an earthquake he has, no power; he can do nelliting whatever, ex cept stand or run, petrified with' fear, feeling indeed, as if lie would actually melt with ter ror." . • . . .

I would not wish to assert anything that would do injustice to the idnieted, but I an obliged to say that although it may be prodneed from ex cessive exhaustion of the powers of life,;by la borious employment, unwholesome air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, applied to the mu cons membrane of the vagina itself. When reviewing the causes of these distress ing complaints, it Is most painful to contem plate- the attendant evils consequent upon them. It Is but simple justice to the subject to enumerate a few of the litany additional causes which so largely affect the life, health and hap piness of woman in all classes of 'society, and which, consequently, affect more or less direct ly, the , welfare of the ent ire human family.
