THE ELECTION YESTERDAY—ALL IS
LOST.
Contrary to onr hopes, but not entirely to
our expectations, the Democracy have been
defeated in nearly every Northern State, and
Gen. Grant -elected President by an over
whelming majority.
When we take into consideration the im
portant issues invested in the election yester
day, above ail the vital issue of the life or
death of the American Constitution—when
we reflect that the contest has been between
those who have boldly, in a time of peace,
set aside the Constitution framed by the
fathers of the Bepublic, established in its
stead a consolidated military despotism, and
the supporters of the constitutional govern
ment—in a word, between Conservative-Be-
publicanism and Badical-Despotism—we can
not but regard the result, a mistifying proof
of the degeneracy of the American people
and their unfitness for self-government
No human sagacity can penetrate the
future that is before us. All is uncurtain and
dangerous; not only for the oppressed, and
unhappy South, but for the whole American
people. The Ship of State is now tossed
upon a storm-lashed ocean, without helm or
compass. We have no constitution, no gov
ernment, no liberty, no society, no law, but
such as may be dictated by the mad caprice
of a fanatical, corrupt and malignant ma
jority. From such a condition of things no
good can come. Biit the people of the
North so will it, and upon them be the eon-
sequences of their unreasoning infatuation.
The Sonth must bide her time'with patient
fortitude and never failing hope.
A King m Parliament. —The ex-king of
Hanover, a grandson of George HI. of Great
Britain, intends, it is stated, to take his seal
in the English House of Lords, under his
title of Duke of Cumberland. A curious
question has been raised whether the royal
marriage act, which provided that, without
the consent of the crown, no descendant of
George II. should contract matrimony, affects
the family relations of this throneless king.
Eight sovereigns were present at the mar
riage (in 1843) of the ex-king of Hanover,
and it would be remarkable if, after all the
parade of the occasion, the ceremony was
invalid, and if the supposed hereditary Prince
Ernest Augustus has no title to his rank or
his possessions in England.
Another Famine in British India Immi
nent.—Northern India is again threatened
with a famine that may revive the recent ter
rible scenes in Orissa, where'two millions, of
people died of starvation. There was scarce
ly any hot weather in May and June, and the
rains, which began a month before the usual
time, have done immense damage. The rice
crops, including those which have been sown
a second time, are ruined. Orissa and all
the districts between Calcutta and the sea
have been deluged. Yet, while this supera
bundance of moisture has fallen on the coast,
the central districts are. suffering still more
from drought. The price of bread has great
ly advanced already.* ’ * ‘
Durr on Segabs and Cotton.—The Treas
ury Department has issued a circular, dated
October 29, giving notice that nnder the 82d
and 87th sections of the internal revenue act,
approved July 20, 1868, all segars, cigarettes
and cheroots imported after the above date
are liable to an export duty of $2.50 per
pound and 85 per cent, advalorem.
In accordance with the provisions of the
Act of Congress, approved February 3, 1868,
all cotton imported from foreign countries
after November 1, 1868, will be exempt from
impost duty.
m
The Beport of the Agricultural Bureau ‘at
Washington for the month of October hai
been published. ■ It says the full promise of
the early summer has not been realized in
the yrheat harvest. The increased area over
that of last year is about neutralized by dimi
nution in the yield, so that the increase in
the total quantity, as shown by the October
returns, will not be more than three per cent.,
and that is obtained mainly from the Pacific
-coast In Maryland and Wisconsin the gain
has not yielded as much in threshing as was
expected. ' ^
We call npon the President to remove Gen.
Meade. He is a revolutionist He trampled

ments of North and South Carolina, Alabama,

tutions and virtually dispersed carpet-bag

Negro Jury.—At Talladega Gonrt, in the
State of Alabama a few days' ago, a regular
black jury was empanneUed. Here is the re
sult as described by a party present There
were about fifteen negroes trieScf for various
offences, each one of whom, on-.his trial, de-
inauded a white jury, and every one of them
wa6 acquitted - except one, and bis punish
ment was -light The colored jurors sat in
their box from Monday morning until Satur

mitted to them. y. c..

A week; op m
PER #KE
Hie newspapers, !
are eloquent over the
week of universal
January 3, 1869. W© will cheerfully aid in
giving a timely circulation to the programme
and hope it will do much good. We hope a
week of prayer will tend to mollify the minds
of men—to mitigate hatred and prejudice—
rebuke injustice * and oppression—moderate
greed, avarice and extortion—the insane fury
to be rich—the excesses and follies of fashion
and shame the brazen front of vice.
But it seems to us most of these things
which are classed* as the results of prayer,
holy writ puts as its preliminary conditions.
The good "book tells -us, lor illustration,
“when thou bringest thy gift to the altar and
there rememberest thou has aught against
thy brother, leave there thy gift before the
altar—first be reconciled to thy brother and
then come and offer thy gift.” R © are. not
sure of the words, but the main proposition
will not be disputed. Braver from hearts
rankling with hatred, prejudice, passion,’and
intolerance—or burdened with the guilt of in
justice and oppression are vain oblations.
They will do no good. The Bible insists
npon certain prelimiSfey conditions <jf purga
tion and redress; but they ore very generally
lost sight of so far as we can discover.
Let onr Northern friends, before they go
into this week of prayer, ponder well the
grosB injustice they have practiced toward
the Sonth, and the spirit of illiberality, intol
erance and vindictiveness they still manifest
to the whites of this section. Upon any fair
construction of the facts they cannot accuse
the South of a purpose to injure them. It is
true we attempted secession in self-defence,
but they knew well that this remedy had al
ways been held by the Sonth to be just and
lawful; and to say the very least, the argu
ment hod left such latitude for honest doubts”
that many intelligent Northern minds sided
with the South in her view of the matter.
Upon what view of justice or liberality, there
fore, do they impute to the Southern people
the moral of treason, and perseveringly seek
to impose upon os political and civil disabili
ties, superadded to the awful catalogue of
material wrongs and injuries they inflicted
upon ns during the war? Why do they re
joice in. work of slander and detraction, and
industriously seek to whelm us under the op-
probium of the world ? Why do they syste
matically outrage all justice, fair dealing anti-
charitable construction wherever the South
is concerned? Why, in fact, does their ha
tred provoke them into treason against Na
ture herself, so that they study to exalt the
besotted'African over the heads of men of
their.own race whose ancestors assisted with
theirs in laying the foundations of this Gov
ernment—men who have themselves fought
and snffered for it? Why is well-nigh every
Northern pulpit resonant with the thunder of
denunciation and the so-called gospel of
peace, wrested, in onr cose, into a ministry of
wrath and hatred ?
Let the Northern people introduce this
week of prayer with a due and careful recon
sideration of their conduct and position to
wards the Sonth. We are entitled, by the law
of God, to fair and charitable construction;
nor can there he a cordial Christian or politi
cal fellowship between the sections so long as
it is withheld ?
Governor Seymour’s Law Suit.—Governor
Seymour has a suit in the United States Cir
cuit Court in Illinois against Michael Haley,
of Joliet. It is about the ownership of a crop
of com on some fifteen hundred acres of
land owned by Seymour. Judge Drum
mond on Saturday charged the jury strongly
in favor of 'the claims of Governor Seymour,
who gained his case. .
Lengthy Separation and Return.—In
1845 John Elliott left his home and his wife,
who had borne him eleven children, in Put
nam connty, Indiana, suddenly and in pas
sion at some slight misunderstanding that
had occurred between them. After he had
been gone abont two years his wife, sup
posing him dead, married again. - Recently
Mr. Elliott, -returned, after an absence of
twenty-six years. He had an interview with
his wife, and she, without hesitation, re
turned to her first choise. Mr. EUiott had
been to California daring his absence, and
acquired a fortune.
Velocipedes.—Nine yonng men who left
Bonen on their velocipedes at seven in the
morning, reached Paris at nine in the even
ing. They performed the distance of thirty-
two leagues in eleven hours, having rested
three hours during the day.
General Kilpatrick opened his campaign
against General Butler in Salem, Mass., on
Wednesday, but his speech was not attended
with mush success, as the cheers for Butler
frequently drowned his voice, and general
hisses greeted every mention of Dana.
