Returns from the Maiuc election show
large Republican gains. The fiat has gone
forth —Democracy is dead, and on the 3d of
November Grant and Colfax will receive
an overwhelming majority. life refer the
reader to our telegraphic news.
one Time Only
The Conservatives want the colored men
to vote one time. If they will vote to take
away the right of voting from themselves,
the Conservatives will never bother them
for their votes again.
Anklets.
Silver and golden anklets, for ladies, are
about to become fashionable. They w ill
of course, Ultimately be worn outside the
stockings.
Open Countenance.
It is not always a mark of frankness to
possess an open countenance. An alligator
is a deceitful creature—and yet be presents
an ‘open’ countenance when in the very act
ot taking you in.
Mission of tho Democratic Party.
It seems that parties, as well as individu
als, sometimes get crack-brained and run
away with the idea that they have some
divinely-appointed mission to fulfil. The
Democratic leaders are very fond of talking
about the ‘mission’ of tbeir party, but they
seem to have vague ideas of what its mis'
sionis. We know what its past mission has
been—it was to inculcate the doctrine of
State sovereignty and tho right of secession,
which ullimaled in a rebellion and a bloody
civil war. That mission is ended arid will
not again be renewed. The people have had
enough of it, and now have a mission of
their own to fulfil. It is to wipe the influence
of the Democratic party out of existence ;
and its future mission is to prepare to settle
down submissively at the head-waters of Salt
River, where, if it does not behave itself, it
will be furnished a provisional government
and put under military rule, like the other
Indian tribes.
Sudden Death.
Peter Lauksns, an old and well-known
citizen of Savannah, died very suddenly
on Saturday evening, from an attack of
apoplexy. The deceased was a native of
France, about eighty years of age, and by
profession a portrait painter. Several fine
pictures of many of the citizens are now
in preservation which were taken by him.
The deceased has lived in a somewhat iso.
lated condition for several years in the old
frame building on the northwest corner of
Broughton and Abercorn streets, where he
followed the profession of a daguerreo
typist. _
Grunikleri.
•Thort! arc always a number of grumblers
in every political fight—men who spend
much of their time in blowing up somebody
else. Sometimes they growl at committees,
sometimes at papers, sometimes at individ.
uals; growl they must, anyhow. All right
It is useful to grumble, no doubt. But
then, it is still more useful to work. If
every man whose soul is exercised about
what somebody else somewhere else is
doing or not doing will first consider
whether every work that he can do has
been done, all will go well. If somebody
won’t work, then wprk the harder yourself
If somebody is shakey, Ire faithful enough
to make up the loss. If a committee is
slow, put your own shoulder to the wheel.
If your county, your town, or your ward is
not properly organized, go at it yourself
before spending any time in growling. Let
each *<lo the work that lies nearest him’
with his whole heart and mind—and then,
after election he will have a right to growl
as much us he likes. Only, after election,
we shall all feel like something besides
growling!
‘Sweet arc the of Adversity.’
It is' not easy to acknowledge the full
extent of the truth involved in this pro
found saying. It is only after a long life
of experience that the use of adversity can
be understood, and even then it is difficult
to sec in what consists their peculiar sweet
ness. It is sometimes said that we pay
sweetly lor a thing, when precisely the op.
posite is meant, and the experience has
been one of extreme bitterness. Only
once have wc seen the sweetness and bitter
ness of adver«ity combined, and then the
bitterness bore a definite proportion to the
sweetness.
Passing up ,our Broadway on a summer
afternoon—one of those days that have a
solvent effect on every soluble —we ob
served a party of men lowering a hogshead
of molasses into a grocer’s cellar, by means
of a restraining rope at eaqh end of the
hogshead. As tl>e hogshead began to de
scend and the full strain came upon the
rope, it was too much for hempen tenacity,
and the rope •at one end parted. The
hogshead, restrained at one end, swung
round and went down the dozen steps
headforemost—if such an expression can
be understood; when applied to an object
all head. The going down was easy
enough, and during the process the ques
tion in the mind of the owner must have
been, How will it end t This was soon
settled, for it ended by being endless, and
the fluid flowed silently, softly and sweetly
over the cellar floor. We turned away,
munuuiiug, uynicatiy, ’Sweet are the tiscs
of adversity.*

late hour in good order. It numbered be

vicinity, but not directly on the route of pro
cession. Their presence was due to orders
from Washington, though no apparent ne

Cincinnati, September 11, 1868.
Editor Auyueta llepublican :
The provision market, since my last, has
shown no improvement in prices, except in Lard.
Me.-a Pork hat remained steady, and Bacon and
Bulk meats declined. There has, however, been
a better small order demand for tho latter, at
reduced prices, without, however, leading to any
trade ot magnitude, and while there is a general
desire to tell, there is but little disposition mani
fested to force sales, and the decline established
is accepted With great reluctance. It was sup
posed that the incoming Cotton crop would have
the effect ot stimulating prices of Bacon, by lib
eral orders from the South, but this demand has
not appeared yet, though it may before the close
of tho month, as stocks are light in the South,
and it is a general opinion that mdeh will be
wanted Tho market to.day closes rather quiet,
but with a better feeling generally displayed on
tho part of holders.
HOGS—On this subject but little is said yet,
and Ibero does not soem to be the same desire to
go in early this season as usual—early packing
having generally proved a losing game. Some
contracts have been made at 8 to 8.50 gross for
early November delivery, but for later deliveries
lower figures aro looked for.
MESS PORK has ruled steady all tho week,
at $29 for city, with a strong effort made on tho
part of holders to force it a fraction above this,
withdet effect. It closes steady, at $29.
LARD, owing to the advance of six shillings
in Livdrpool, since my last, advanced 1c per
pound here, but to-day, for some unaccountable
reason, it fell of ic in price, with sales at 19c,
but 19}o is generally asked at the close.
BULK MEATS have declined, and buyers
only offer 11J, 13$, 14$, and 14f for shoulders,
sides, clear rib and clear sides—all loose, hut
generally bold 4 to $ higbsr, and difficult to bay
at loss than asking prices.
BACON also has met with a further decline.
I quote shoulders at 13o; clear rib sides 16c, and
clear sides 16$al7c for fresh packed ; old packed
Jai less, buyers contending for a further decline.
Hams are neglected, dull and nominal; sugar
curcd 20a21c; second pickle, 15}al8Je; plain
