Tin recess of Congress has .been
still further extended. No session was
held on the 10th inat.,.and hone will
be held until the regular day for meet
ing in December. The results of. the
PreSidentiai election on Tuesday week
are_believed to_provide_amply against
Other Presidential usurpation or rebel,
violence.
THE country will be gratified to learn
that Gen. Reynolds, the 'Military Com
mander whose inefficiency is reSponsi
ble in some degree for the reign of terror
which has- prevailed •in Texas, has
been superseded by Gen. Canby, who
now goes to that district with full dis

already bears fruit. -

AN affair similar - to the " Memphis
piracy" has occurred in Florida. Two,
thousand stand of State arms were ta
ken from a railroad train, in which
they were being _conveyed to Talla
hasse, and scattered along the road for
several miles. What the lcu-Klux,„
Inean by these freaks of villainous mis

the news of Grant's electicUp has not , 1
yet penetrated the Florida jungles.
THE English Liber'als, who during
the - war symphthized with our cause
as the common cause oS Humanity and
Liberty, art " erremen men like Laird
and Roe ek and the .Tories in gene
"ral their support of one of the most
ions systems of oppression, are nat
firally shocked at the intimacy which
has sprung up between these inveter
ate enemies of free America and the,
present Embassador of the IL States
in England. It is certainly a remar
kable position forthe Embassador of a
. great country to have the enemies Of
his own country for friends, and the
friends of his country for opponents.
THE next United States Senate will
be almost entirely Republican, tint fonr
strongest and ablest-Democrats in that
body, Messrs, Hendricks, of Indiana,
Rnekalaw, of Ponnoylvora,Tl lade,
of Wisconsin, and - Dixon; - of Connec
tient, having leave of absence at the
bands of the people. In addition to
these, Patterson, of Tennessee, gives
'place to Gov. Brownlow. On the other
hand the Democrats have two acces
sions in the' place
. of Republicans—
Thurman, of Ohio, and - Casserly, of.
California. The next Senate-will there

How Grant Received the Ncirs.
A special despatch to the Philadel-
phi.% Morning Pint, dated Galena, 111.,
,November 4th, says : The room in
which Gem Grant sat last evening was
crowded with Congressmen, judges,
town and county politicians, army of
ficers, and reporters, :111- apparently :
more eager than the man on whose ac
count they were gathered, while they

from Petroleum ,Y.'Nasby, who for

this campaign ripened, it is true, we lead
the. prestige of the name of a great
Soldier as our emendate for the Pres

States Man as our candidate for the Vice
Presidency, while their candidates were
offensive to a goodly number of the
memhers of their party. 'art, on . the
other — hind, they had the weightier
advantage of having enlisted in their
ranks every man - Whose political faith
was founded either upon prejudice
against the negro, or upon sympathy
with the "Lost Cause." These two die. ,
— gracefUT feelings were the main-spring
of their canvass. And still further, had
they the addition - al advantage of hav
ing the whole of the county patron
age in their hands, and most unscrup
ulously did they use it. From the
smirk of the Clerk in the Commission
ers' offiee, to the greenbacks of the itin

everything—was used by them.
deed, we even' heard of one man who
voted the Democratic ticket simply
-because - the Commissioners' -office to
him is so pleasant a place to loaf during
the long winter evenings in the full en
joyment of the glare of gas-light, at
the expense of the county. In addi
tion to these influences, - were used
pi.omises of position on the county
ticket in years to come, with the bland ,
ishing inaucement of the full enjoy
ment. and- fruition of the emolu
ments thereof. Against all these odds
did we enter the campaign, and how
glorious a result have we accomplished!
At the October election -we reduced
, the Copperhead "majority from seven
hundred and eighty last year to six
luitdred and seven. Inspirited brow

the result. is, that ; 'open the largest
vote ever_polled in the county, we re
duced their majority, on the 3d inst.,
to'four hundred and twenty-three.. The

total . vote in NON-ember reaching 8,7',
while that of October, the largest vote
ever cast up to that. time, was but
Bfi677showing an increase in Novein-

vote increased one hundred and forty,
and the Democratic rote fell- short
forty-four.
Sorely this is-a result over which
the Republicans of this county have
great reason to rejoice, amt one by
which they should gieatly profit. We
have broken in upon_ them and. we
should follow up our adyarrtage. Now
when the heat of the conflict i, over,
and ',arty animosiffs have almost en
tirely subsided: is the time to reason
with !limiest Democrats and e n deavor
to persuade them to leave their old
organization, and unite' u ith the great
-Union party which has so late achiev
ed the greatest political victory in the
history of our country. Men wilrnow
whose prtjudice and partisan feeling a
few weeks ago would not permit them
to pay attentiomto anything outside of
their own journals and speakers. If
our friends lot make and keep up a
quiet. earnest effort, we will be able to
carry this county-long before the.next
Presidential election. Surely to accom
plisb sucha result is worth working for,
and surely our recent successes should
encourage us to make the effort. Let

During the-many—years-the Democ—

perish. Their great object seethed to
be_ to secure for. themselVos and their

of the National Executive, And to Be
th/re these, they bowed down in abject
'submission to the haug,hty knifings of
the South. This subserviency was re
warded by bestowing upon the leaders
of the party occasional sops of patron
age, and by calling Pennsylvania the

.-of the party. The
South secured the real power, took to
itself all the highest honors, and gave
full protection to their own great inter

much deplored.. 'y . ,10..t stamp of oppo
sition will onlylirengthen the great
cause of the Union in all the loyal
States. All-that-shall be left of De
mocracy will very. properly march un
der that flag ; no longer national but
sectional, and therefore justly remitted
to its more congenial future in the still
rebel State's., With an already secured
majority of fifty in a full House, and
with four-fifths of the Senate to uphold
the new Administration, the country
*enters upon a renewed and prosperous
repose, . •
The following brief article, from the
Pittsburgh Gazette,' contains more
truth than poetry, and., is exactly •to
the point•
,The bitter' experience •of the war
has. wrought little .i apparent change in
the political principles and sentiments
qt the white portion of the population
of the Southern States.
The States that went into Rebellion
:were.-undue _Democratic_controli .
they,had been under other manage-_
ment they would haTie4'emained in the
Union and - obedient . to . the-laws.----
The white inhabitants of those
Stites are as strongly Democratic now
as when they plunged the nation into
civil war; And beeftuiie Democratic, arc
just as hostile to the government, this
day as they wore in, 1860.
That - this Democratic element Con
stitutes a majority of the Southern'
people, We do not believe;-but by in
,numberable murders and lesser vio
lence's, systematically committed be
fore the elections, they effeetually in
timidated many ;of their loyal neigh
hors, both white and black.
' But for the election of GRANT and
COLFAX:no - prominent loyalist would
to-day be safe from bodily 'harm in
those. States- Whatever protection
they now enjoy they owe to the de
cision made at the ballot-boxes. That
decision; with all that• it implies,, must
be enfOreed, and thrOugh its enforce
ment alone will be found the way to'
Peace, Order and Fraternity.
Tupu.o are serious apprehensions,
that the increasing excitement against
the American residents, in Hayti, may.
result in ;outrages upon their-individu
al-and National rights, requiring the
naval and perhaps ‘, the military inter
vention,',Of this GoVernment for thqir
protection, such a: - case would pre
sent to the adherenis of, the late Gen.
Ht:allt an excellent opportunity for
wreaking their still unsatisfied ven
geance against - the "naygura." It
"would also be,well forthem to remem
ber that, 'as Camilla and Opelousas
are no longer likely to be theatres for .
the. safe exemplification of Derriocratio
principlea; a wide' field'invitingly pre
sents in - Onba, where, unless speedily'
prevented by such. appliances as Mir

- -
SOUTHERN,REBELS will bluster, for
a while, but we have no serious appre
hensions that they will fit:tempt:any
Practical denionstration of their:reiiicf4•
lance to -accept the present sittiatinht:
We annex a colledtion of- gemn, from'
thn; Memphis Avalqnche, of *ovcrnbor
4th, toillustrate'their first agonies:
"We now say our friends must take
care of themselves,' Heretofore we
have advised our, friends to be cool and
wise—to discard—anger and passion;
but since prudence and wisdom bawl'
made no impression,, we only , ask-our'
friends' to take care of .themselves.
We can only say that, for . the future, •
the Avalanche will be more bitter and
proscriptive upon the carpet-bagger in
our midst than heretofore. It may be
they have forced us to become Sam- -
sons, to pull down , the pillars of the.
Republic. The' vote of the North,
yesterday, branded us as outlaws. Bo
"Since prudence and submission to
-humiliation and degradation bring us
no relief,,we feel no iuterestin the Re
public; and while we have heretofore
counseled prudence and restrained . the
band of violence towards those who
have brought upon us all our woes - , we
can only say to our friends, despise
the Government that oppresses you,
and visit a just and merited retribution
upon the thieves and Carpet baggers
who have made us slaves. Grant-is
President. We are at his mercy: • But
of the bond-holders and the snobs of
the North expect to roll in luxury and
maintain their wealth by oppression
and. tyranny, Ley will be sadly mis
taken, for the tone and acts_
of the
'Southern people toward the thieves
and plunderers in our midst,- during
the next
. six nionths, :will teach them
that history is repeatbit itself, and'
That it will bankruiiohe - Gibvernment
to suppress the heaving emotions and
the uprising of a people.who, once freb,
can never be slaves."

Vice-P esidential candidate of the De
mocracy, arrived in „ Chicago at aft
early hour Wednes,day morning, and
stopped at the 'fretnont House.—,
Scarcely a rn(inher of his party called
upon him, the terrible rout they had
experienced no doubt deterring them
from confronting their nominee. After
reading the morning papers, 'Frank
remarked that be bad been beaten like
h-1, and that was the only way to be
beaten. Some of his 'Republican
friends mentioned "Salt, River ;” to
which Frank replied, that Salt River
was not large enough ; he was "going
to Salt Lake." He left iu that three. ,
tion, via the Union Pacific
at two o'clock P. H., and has not geu

" DUTIES OF SCHOOI. DIRECTORS.—
From the last number of • the Pennsyl
vania Setioq Journal we clip the follow
ing tensible advice on the importance of
directors visiting the schools: •
"The duty of visiting the schools is con
sideredf one of the most important &Ales
that directors have to diAcharge in the
administration of the system. The law
maaes the duty imperative, cud no person
should accept the office of school director
unless he is willing to perform it. When
well done, its effect is always to make the
schools more efficient. It stimulates the
pupils in their studies. It ()nab] toc-_
tors to ascertain the exact concliCi of
the .schools, ;schoolhouses and" schin:l
grounds. On , the whole, so high a value
does the Department set upon the local
supervision of.the schools that .it always
expects to find the schools of districts
which are regularly and systematically
visited by boards of directors,
~a ccording
to the provisions of; the law, other things
equal, fifty per cent. batter than those of
districts iirivhich the schools are entirely
neglected in this respect, and this estimate
is made from personal observation made
in hundreds of districts."

WE have some whore road the iitato
nront of premiums paid out in ono - year
by a first class Life Insurance Company.
It was a suggestive and interesting table.
There were persons in all classes of life,
arid from every part of the country. There
was the poor man, iVhoso scOnty.earnings
only, permitted him. to pay for a policy of
five hundred dollars. Well, death oame
to him, and instead of the Almshouse for
his little ones, Chore was something with
which to elothe the babes and send the
eldest boy to school. There ' was the
seamstress who had saved enough to in
sure a thousand dollars for the'poor old
mother. •She dropped into the grave—
faded by hard work, wo presuino, but she
loft something behind to lighten the dark
and declining
.days Of the ono she most.
dearly loved. There was the you s pg busi
ness man who took a little portion of his
profits and secured an insurance of $lO,OOO.
Tho speedy messenger called him in the
be,;inning of his career, but enough was
behind to enable his ffitnily,,,to live plainly
and comfortably This table was the rec
ord of well-recompensed prudence. No
human foresight can avoid business disas
ter, at times, nor postpone the hour of
death. When we see how easy it is for
ovZiry ! man to put away something against
a rainy day, wo feel that it is almost
criminal to neglect it. Especially is
this so, when we have a company like .the
National Life Insurance Company
_whose
advortisenient is elsewhere pbblished.

lars paid hji' Its directors. are
men of national reputation for integrity
and honor. It presents every feature of
the best insurance companies, together.
