TIIE INDICATIONS AT TIIE NORTH. 1 bo election in Connecticut resulted as was anticipated in a marked triumph of the De mocracy. This is only an intimation of the determination of the people not only in that State but throughout the North to drive from power the profligate party of destruction which has already produced more misery and wasted more treasure in lose than eight years, than any other party ever was j'uilty of in a century. Immense and unprecedented mass meetiugs of the Democracy are being held throughout the North and West. One at Indi anapolis the other day caused the Radicals almost to despair of even carrying Indiana, the home of Colfax." On Monday night the largest and grandest demonstration ever seen in America was held in New York, at which it was estimated there were half a million people present; and the most intense enthusi asm was manifested. The signs arc truly cheering and the dark night of Radical misrule and oppression is drawing to a close. Fanati cism is giving place to reason, and the corrup tion of the Radical leaders can no longer be concealed from the sight of the poople they have so long deceived and plundered. Let our people he true to themselves, suffer none of tho outrages of our wily enemies to betray us into violence, and above all, give no sanc tion to their iniquity either by word or vote, and the election in November promises to be the death knelLof Radicalism, and the dawn of restored Constitutional Liberty to all sec tions of our suffering country. Although the Radicals have made a great noise about their victory in Maine, they have actually lost since the last general election therein 1806, over 7,000 of their majority. A proportionate loss in the great States of New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana will give them to the Democratic nominees, and elect Seymour and Blair overwhelmingly.— Indeed, it is not at all doubtful that the popu lar vote will he largely Democratic. The only question now is, will the vote he sufficiently overwhelming to deter the Radicals from at tempting by force and fraud to perpetuate their power? Under ordinary circumstances this attempt would involve too much risk for any party to venture upon it. But it must be remembered that the extravagance and reck lessness of this party have been such that even holding all the branches of the govern ment in their own hands, they cannot conceal frauds and peculations amounting to hundreds if not thousands of millions. To allow the Democratic party to take charge of the gov ernment, will enable them to expose all these villanies, and of course, forever sink the party perpetrating them under the condemnation of all honest people. Thus they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by holding on to the government, even at the point of the bayonet, if they can so succeed in shielding themselves from exposure. The people on the other hand have everything to gain, and can possibly lose nothing by driving them from the offices they have so shamelessly perverted to base and selfish purposes, as a worse set of men cannot be found in the country to take tlieir places. Any people is unworthy of freedom who will quietly allow their constitu ted government to be subverted without an effort to sustain it. The American people will make that effort in November and woe to that party which shall dare to re sist their will! They may provoke a terrible civil war. but in the end the adherents of Radicalism will pray for the cold mantle of oblivion to hide them from the merited execra tion of all virtuous and intelligent people. Will they he Counted ? In the name of impartial suffrage, Congress has forbidden Virginia, Texas, and Mississip pi to vote at the on-coming election, and it is now desired to know whether the votes of these States are to "be counted as making up the total vote of the Electoral College. If so, that total will be6l7, and 169 neeessary to elect. If not, the total will bo 294: necessary to elect, 148. The point seems to have been left open a 8 plating a discrepancy of eleven votes at the disposal of Congress, to manipulate according as, in the light of the election returns, the interests of moral ideas may require. If Sey mour should get 148 votes, it would be no elec tion and must go to the House; if Grant should get 148, it would be all right, a fair elect ion,'will of the people, glorious triumph, ar.d soon. Homestead Act. To provide for sefting apart a Homestead of Realty and Personalty, and for tho valua tion of said property, and for the lull and complete protection and security of the same to tho sole use mid benefit of families ns re quired by Section First of Article VII of the Constitution, and for ether purposes.

Fec. 2. Every person seeking the benefit of this act, and of said section of tho Constitution, shall make out a schedule and description of the pers-tial property claimed by him to he exempt under said section of the Constitution from levy and sale, and hand the same to the Ordinary of the county in which he resides, and shall apply to the said Ordinary for an order to the county Surveyor, or if there be none, some other Surveyor, to lay off his home stead allowed by said section of the Constitu tion, and to make a plat of the same, which order the Ordinary shall issue at once and give to the applicant.

The surveyor to whom said order shall be delivered by tne applicant, shall lay off the homestead on or out of the land claimed by tho applicant, and make a plat of the same, and make an affidavit that tho same is correctly platted and laid off, and that the same is, to the best of his knowledge and be lief, not worth more than two thousand dollars in specie, and return the same to the Ordinary before the day appointed in tho order for pass ing upon said application. Should any county surveyor fail to comply with his duty, as pre scribed by this act, he shall be, by said Ordi nary, punished for a contempt of court. Sec. 5. If at the time and place appointed for passing upon said application, no objection shall he urged by any creditor of the applicant, the Ordinary shall endorse upon said sc Ik <Jule, and upon said plat, approved, this the day of , 186—, (filling the blanks,) and shall sign the same officially, and hand the same to the Clerk of the Superior Court of his county, who shall record the same in a book to be kept for that purpose in his office. Sec. 6.

Sec. 7.

Sec. 15. Be it enacted, etc., That nil laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act he and the same are hereby repealed. Df.l mar’s Expose —llovv it is Received nv the Radical Leaders.— Telegrams to Secre tary McCulloch announcing the publication to day, in Boston and New York, of an expose of the true condition of the Federal Treasury, from the pen of Alexander Delmar, the Direct or of the Bureau of Statistics, has rested a great storm in the Department, and political circles here are in a perfect foment. Who is Mr. Delmar, that he should thus assume the task of exposing the condition of our resources ? Mr. Delmar in reply, asks, why allow the Radical politicians to blind the people by false statements, nnd make them believe that the national debt is being diminished when, in fact the Government is not meeting its expen ditures by upward of or.e hundred and fifty millions of dollars per annum, which most he made up by on increased taxation upon the people? Other subordinate officials have at tempted, by well written articles, to prove the Treasury to he in a most healthy condition.— Director Delmar lias used his thorough knowl edge of facts and figures to expose its rotten ness. and the Radical wire-pullers at Washing ton are made to howl over this unexpected blow which they admit is a stunner, it is under stood the article alluded to will also appear in the columns of the National Intelligencer to morrow morning. The lion. Robert J, Walk er, tlio recognized financier of the country, has read this exposure, and pronounces it perfectly overwhelming, lie thinks it will arouse’ the whole country to a lively apprecia tion of the reckless extravagance of the domin ant party, and lead to the annihilation of the Radical party. — Wash. Cor. Cincinnati Gazette. --»<!»♦ Occupation. What a glorious thing it is for the human heart. Those who work hard, seldom yield themselves entirely up to fancied or real sorrow. When grief sits down, folds its hands, and mournfully feeds upon its own tears, weaving the dim shadow, that a little exertion might sweep away, into a funeral pall, the strong spirit is shorn of its might, and sorrow becomes our master. When troubles flow upon you, dark and heavy, toil not with the waves, wres tle not with the torrent; rather seek, by occu pation, to avert the dangers which threaten to overwhelm you. Before you dream of it, those waters will fertilize the present, and give birth to the iresh flowers that they may brighten the future—flowers that will become pure and holy in the sunshine which penetrates to the path of duty, in spite of every obstacle. Grief, after all, is but a selfish feeling, and most selfish is the man who yields himself to the indulgence of any passion which brings no joy to his fellow man. An Alton letter says it seems impossible to control the mouth of the Missouri, it has so many outlets and covers such a large area of country. Already has more than two hundred acres of farms fallen in at the Edwardsville junction, above Madison, and still it goes on each day, with only a narrow rim loft to keep the river in its present channel. Engineers have thus far failed to find a remedy, and the fiver will, at its present action, probably throw in the last few acres which keeps it out of the American Bottom lakes during thccoming year. llow .11 utters Look. From our latest exchanges we get tho fol lowing intelligence as to tho aspect of the canvass in the States of New York and Penn sylvania. Tho New York correspondence of tho Cincinnati Enquirer says : “Grant’s friends, profane and otherwise have given up all hopes of carrying New York. They do not stand a ghost of a chance. The prospect for Seymour and Hoffman im proves daily, .and will grow brighter till along. But if the Radicals have given up the State in one way, they still Hope to secure it in anoth er. A successor to Senator Morgan will he elected by the next Legislature, and the whole strength of tho party will be put forth to change the complexion of tho Assembly, so that Morgan may lie succeeded by a man of his own stripe. The Radical managers are trying to bargain for un exchange of votes in the Assembly Districts. They offer Radical votes for Hoffman in exchange, for Democratic votes for Radical Assemblymen, and they offer money besides. There is not the slightest probability that they will succeed in this scheme. Tho Democrats have been warned and are wide awake, and the next Assembly will probably he even more strongly Democrat ic than the present one. Despairing of carrying New York in No vember, the Radicals arc working hard to secure Pennsylvania in October. Money, speakers and documents are sent oft’ daily for service in the Keystone State. But from all appearances they might as well be kept at homo. The advices from Pennsylvania arc of the most cheering character. A Democratic majority of from ten to fifteen thousand is confidently predicted by prominent Democrats there. Radical Lies. The Radicals arc so hard pushed that they resort to lies on prominent Democrats. The Cincinnati Commercial recently sent a special correspondent to Tennessee to lie about Gen. Forrest. That same journal and others have published and commented on a letter purport ing to have been written by Mr. Pendleton to a gentleman in Texas, in regard to the vote of that State. Mr. Pendleton nails this last lie down in tho Commercial of the 26th, as follows. Columbus Enquirer. CiRCi.EviLi.F., Ohio, Sept. 29, 1868. Editor Commercial : The letter in the Com mercial of to-dav, as being from mo to Somers Kenny, of Texas, dated Bangor, Maine, Sept. 21, 1868, is a forgery. Your friendly com ments conveyed the first knoweldgc I had of the letter, or of the person to whom it is ad dressed. Geo. 11. Pendleton. The Campaign ia Ohio. The vote in Ohio was so close at the last election that the change of one vote in each township will give it to the Democracy. To prove that a far greater change than this is going on, the P’aindealer gives the following items : The Statesman says it has tho names of ono hundred and thirty-three men who voted the Republican ticket in that city last fall, hut who will vote with us in October and No vember, A letter from the 4th District says the de feat of Lawrence, Radical Congressman, in that district is sure. A correspondent from old Seneca say - that county will give from 800 to 1,000 majority against Gibson. Dr, Sainpscl and IV. S. Spencer, heretofore prominent Republicans in Ashland, Ohio, have conic out for Seymour and Blair. _ -- ———- Pennsylvania. From accounts which reach us from Penn sylvania, it is evident that never were such ef forts put forth by the Radicals to carry this State on the 13th of this month. Tho wealth of eight vears’ plundering is poured out lavish ly. The scheming, unprincipled, devilish spirit which has grown up in the disturbance of war is let loose there. The harpies are sent from every quarter of the country to plunder the old Keystone table. And the evidence is overwhelming, that, while no corresponding outlay of effort is being made by our Demo cratic friends, enough is being done to secure a working majority. The people were never before so extravagant in the enthusiasm for the unadulterated, red hot Democracy. With out effort, and without outlay, they are rising in legions to hurl hack tho usurping tyrants which oppress the land. Wc have the fullest confidence that Pennsylvania will do her duty. — N. Y. Democrat. Figures Do not Lie— Mu. Delmar Sustain ed. — Wo are enabled to state, upon reliable official authority, that the expenditures last month were $28,485,000. There was no in terest to pay last month on tho public debt. Nothing for “Alaska.” Army transportation, of course, formed a large part, but it will be much heavier when the winter season sets in. The average monthly interest upon the na tional debt is about $11,000,000. Add this to the above sum of current expenditures—S2B,- 485,000 —and we have near $40,000,000 as the expenditure that falls upon September. This sum multiplied by the number of months in the year, gives $480,000,000 about the sum estimated by Mr. Deltnar. The average for the last three years lias been $400,000,000. — and yet Congress denies payment to public creditors, and refuses to make proper appro priations for many of the ordinary objects of legislation. Principal and interest on the public debt are thus forcibly kept below their natural figures.— Nat. Intel. W hat “our” Army Costs.— lt is demonstra ted from official reports that the United States Army cost $11,800,000 during the tnonth of August, 1868. The cost in September and October will not be less than SIJ ,000,009 for each month, and lias averaged this in a time of peace. In three consecutive years of peace the expenses of our military system reached $6(5,000,000, and even Mr. Wells is forced to admit that the cost of the last year was $123 - 000,000. The Latest News. Washington, Oct. 6. Partial returns from the Connecticut election indicate 5 000 Democratic majority. Hartford, Conn., Oct. 6. Jlje municipal elections occurred throughout the State yesterday. The Democratic gain is large. The majority in this city is 750. The Democratic gain over the Fall elections is 400 ; over the Spring, 100; Democratic majority in New Haven, 919. New York, Oct. 6. The meeting last night was the greatostever held in this city. An experienced police Cap tain estimated that there wore IK),000 men in the torch light jirocession. After the proces sion was joined by the delegations from the adjoining counties it extended ten miles. The scene in Union Square was grand. The main stand represented the Temple of Liberty, and was brilliantly illuminated by strings of lights stretched to Tammany Hall. The streets in the vicinity were literally on fire with calcium lights, rockets, fire paintings, and balloons. The main stand, facing Broadway, was tho centre of attraction, outside of Tammany Hall, although there wore six other stands at which speeches were made to the immense throng. The multitude was roughly estimated at half a million of men, women, and children. The crowd stretched compactly down Broadway to Eleventh street, while the cross streets were alive with citizens. General Baldy Smith pre sided. He said he represented hundreds of thousands of soldiers who thought that the re sults of tho war would he lost without an en tire change of policy, A letter from General McClellan was read, emphatically endorsing the Democratic candidates. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 6. The Governor has signed the registration bill passed by the Legislature. Both Houses have passed hills providing for an election. The Senate bill makes it a mis demeanor for any person to challenge voters, punishable by line and imprisonment. The Probate Judge of each county is to designate any number of voting places lie desires. This is done to have all the voting at the court house. Richmond, Va., Oct. 6. lion. John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, arrived here to-day on his way to Georgia. Washington, Oct. 7. The Republicans have eighty-three Connec ticut towns, the Democrats fifty-nine. Divided six, unheard from thirteen. The vote is small. Both parties claim a gain on the ag gregate vote. Glorious News from the Northwest. We had the pleasure of an interview yester day with a gentleman who had just returned from a long visit to tho States of Ohio, Indi ana, and Illinois. lie has spent several weeks in eltfch of these States—has traveled through them very extensively—especially tho 1 after two, and has had line opportunites for ascer taining tho correct condition of the canvass there. As the result of bis observations, formed after a careful of the whole field, he says that Indiana is considered as almost abso lutely certain for Hendricks, in the election on the 13th, and that our friends claim that Illi nois is as certain as Indiana. He says that be did not hear of any changes, in his whole trip, from the Democracy to Radicalism ; hut, on the other hand, changes from Radicalism to tho Democracy were frequent and general. On one occasion, while riding on a train in Illinois, the vote was taken with the following result: Seymour, 35; Grant, 17. The Ger mans in the West—and there are many thou sands of them iu Illinois and Indiana—arc withdrawing cn masse from the Radicals, and re-aligning themselves with their old political friends. In Ohio, our friends arc hard at work, and arc quite as certain of success. Ho says that the Democracy were never more hopeful and confident of a glorious victory, and never, in the history of parties, have such Her culean efforts been made to carry an election as our friends in the Northwest are now mak ing. Our informant is one of the ablest, most elo quent and distinguished gentlemen in the South—a gentleman, whose means of deriving correct information, and of ascertaining public sentiment are, from the peculiar nature of his profession and duties, most thorough and com plete. If we were authorized to give his name it would ho sufficient to command tho highest respect for his opinions, without endorsement from us.— Chronicle & Sentinel, 3 d inst. At a recent Seymour and Blair pole raising in the city of Evansville, Pennsylvania, the speakers on tho occasion were three influon cial citizens of that place who, a year ago, were uncompromising red hot Radicals.— There is a world of significance in such facts as these ! — • *-«&-« lion. P. C. Brooks, of Boston, who left the largest fortune ever amassed in this country, on being asked what rule he would recommend to a young man as most likely to insure suc cess, answered : “ Let him mind his own bu siness ;” and, to a similar inquiry it has been said that Robert Lenox, of New York, well re membered as one of the most distinguished merchants ever known in that great city, once answered, “ Let him be beforehand with his business.” One answer seems to include the other, as no man can he beforehand with his business unless he minds it. There is good sound sense in the following paragraph from the New York Journal of Commerce: “There is no poetry in the situation, and wo intend that it shall not be our fault if the peo ple do not understand it. Hurrahing for party will not fill the Treasury. Promises of imme diate relief to burdened taxpayers aro all for buncombe, and cannot be kept. The wheel is setting heavily in the rut of debt, and only sturdy shoulders can give it an onward motion. This work must como upon the toiling millions of the country, vote as they may in the election now before us.” Think of it.—The present cost of our eminent is sl4, when the year before the it was $1.60 per head.
