FRIDAY MORNING, \OV. 1!. ls<Jß
A CALM REVIEW.
The exciting contest of tile Presidential
campaign having passed away it is now a fa
vorable time for a quiet consideration of tlie
condition of the country, and an enffr.rry as to
the future prospects and prctViaVie destinies of
our ponj.lc.
There rs i»o tlener.il f’.rant lias
carrk'd a majority of the*elect<>rnl votes, which
•mires another four years -of jtower to the
Republican party. Much a* dhe mass of the
people of Georgia may regret fiivs result, it is
folly to ignore the existing fact. Rather, let
it be admitted, and let our calculations and
arrangements for the future lcok to the pro
motion of the public good to the greatest ex
tent practicable under the circumstances.—
What, then, is the actual extent of the Demo
cratic defeat and Republican victory? Every
where the leturns show large Democratic
gains on tire last general elections, though
in few of th*» States are the gains sufficient to
turn the scale in favor of the Democracy
Yet these gains are worth more than would at
first appear. In all popular governments mi
norities have rights and command respect in
proportion to their strength. In addition to
this consideration, tlie fact appears that in the
past three years the Democracy have overcome
d**e prejudices and fanaticism engendered hy
the war to such an extent that they nearly
succeeded in carrying the election in favor of
constitutional government. This will be a
powerful check upon the extreme measures of
the fanatical party in power; for they are
not all utterly void of reason, and tlie rctiec
ting men among them will sec that the only
hope of their retaining the popular support is
found in yielding to the demands of the pro 1 *
pie in till sections of the country. Those de
mands with emphatic unanimity call for the
restoration of that constitution and union
which our fathers gave us, under which our
country was prosperous, and our people were
indeed free. The unbridled recklessness with
which the general government Ims hecn ad
ministered since the Republicans have been in
power was the chief agency which inaugurated
the great revolution in popular sentiment at
the North and West. That policy cannot he
abandoned hy that party without certain dis
integration and overthrow ; its pursuit
has already nearly defeated' their candidate
for the Presidency, although sustained by all
the prestige of a successful warrior. Here is
something cheering for the people, then, which i
cannot be overshadowed even by the gloomy
prospect of another term of Radical mis
rule.
But it is by no means certain that the very
success in which the Radicals are exulting
will not lie their own ruin. Already etrongly
wrought plots are working in opposition to
each other, for the control of the party move
ments. If General Grant should favor the
moderate poliey indicated by some the ex
tremists will read him out of the party as they
did Mr. Johnson ; while his affiliation with the
extreme wing of that party will drive the
moderate Republican leaders to unite with the
Democrats. This would render him as pow
erless as Mr. Johnson lias been : and the
chief evil of his administration would consist
iu its utter inability to do anything, while the
extravagant expenditures of the past would
be continued. Indeed, it may be that this
triumph of the Republican party is only the
initratory step towai and that relief which must
come at last in the form of utter repud’ation
of the intolerable national debt, and with it
the party by whose misrule it was incurred.
Then, let the suffering people be patient a lit
tle longer. In any event, these oppressions
will lie ended with this Presidential term.—
The Radical party cannot longer survive
the discordant elements which wrangle in the
heterogeneous masses of which it is composed.
Even now their several factions are con
tending over the spoils more violently than
opposing parties formerly struggled for their
respective policies. The coming four years
will show us either a restoration of-eonstitu
tional liberty under a Democratic administra
tion, with general prosperity, or an established
despotism without even tlie mockery of the
form popular government. In either case
it is best to maintain an organized opposition
to the paity of destruction, until the long
conflict is ended.
A Hundred Years to Conte.
To-day we are striving, pushing, grasping
after wealth, honor, power, and pleasure.—
The poor claim wealth that they may be above
want: the rich seek to add to their already
countless thousands. So are we— rushing for
ward, reckoning not of the final result of our
transitory existence. No one ever appears
to think how soon he must sink into oblivion
—that we are one generation of millions.—
Yet such is the fact. Time and progress have
through countless ages, come marching hand
in hand—the one destroying, the other budd
ing up. They 6eem to create little or no com
motion, and the work of destruction is as easily
and silently accomplished ob a child will pull
to pieces a rose. Y'et such is the fact. A
hundred years hence, and much that we now
see aronnd us will too have passed away. It
is but the repetition of life’s story; we arc
born, we live, we die: and hence we will not
grieve over those venerable piles, finding the
couMßon level of their prototypes in nature, an
ultimate death.
‘‘We all within our graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come ,
No living soul for us will weep
A hundred years to come;
But other hands our land will till,
And other men our streets will fill,
And other biids will singes gay,
As bright the aun shine as to day,
A hundred years to come,’'
NOTHING LOsT
l’nder this heading “Brick” Pomeroy's New
York Deruncrnt of the -fitti ittsf.. gives some
very < i.rreet reflection* in reference to the late
election. After -rating that the Democracy
have failed to elect their candidates, and briefly
reviewing the causes and eoiiseipiences of that
failure, that vigorous paper returns to the
work in the following emphatic stvle :
The next fight is to be tin: er.orLES notiT—
not that of leaders and committees, as this
lias been. It is to be a light of principle—
clear, broad, radical. Democracy takes the
field now —old-fashioned Jeffersonian Democ
racy— State Rights, anti bank, anti-taiiff, anti
bondholding Democracy.
Wt have bad enough of serving both God
and the Devil. The attempt has been made
to see how near wc could come to serving the*
Devil of Jacobinism, and yet appear to wor
ship iu the Divine Temple of Democracy.
The experiment has proved a failure, and we
have now only one course left, and that is, to
pursue it Itoldly and earnestly—ami scorn all
counsels which would turn as in any otlior
direction.
L'jt, then, with tj.c banner of principle and,
raise it high ! Carry it to the front, and plant
it at the bead of our gallant, unbroken, undis
mayed legions, and there hold it fast, and firm,
and high, that it may be unto us as was the
“cloud hy day. and u pillar of lire by night ‘
to God's chosen people, and under its bright,
inspiring emblazonry, we will march to as
sured. glorious victory !
What are four years in the life of the Re
public? Vliut in a struggle for liberty?
They are nothing. And the misrule of these
four years will make our victory tho more
thorough and sweeping in the end.
Then be of good cheer, white men of the
South ! Your deliverance is sure !
Be of good cheer, plovvholders of the West!
You shall be freed from tariffs and bonds 1
He of good cheer, sons of tail everywhere !
Your cause is not lost! Yon have friends
who will stand by you, and work for your
emancipation from the bondage of the money
kings, while, fora little longer, you are denied
the bread that you earn, and the oppression
of taxation lengthens your hours of labor, and
makes your comforts few and your burdens
heavy !
Be of good cheer, friends of constitutional
government! For the templewhich our fath
ers so wisely and skillfully builded, shall be
restored !
The God of our fathers has not forsaken
us! Nor will the people again reject his
counsels, an! follow bad men into the paths
of destruction.
Fear not, brother Democrats ! The future
is ours ! From this hour se s in tho great
popular reaction, which will know no abate
ment until it shall bury 7 Jacobinism
“Deeper than e’er plummet sounded.' 1
The Election ol Itutler.
It is a tit thing that Buti.er should be sen
from Massachusetts as its representative, and
sent with the emphasis and distinction of an
immense majority.
He is a representative mSn of Massachusetts
if not of its men, at least of its women.—
When the deposed wretch ordered his soldiery
in New Orleans to treat secessionist ladies
ns “women of tlie town, [dying their vocation,”
he sent a thrill of satisfaction through the hearts
of all the prurient prudes in New England.
That was their real triumph. The Southern
women had scorned and flouted at their Puritan
sisters. They had pur on the airs ofaristocrucy
and had inflicted deep wounds upon the self
love of sex. The rankling wound bred fester
ing bate ; and when the brutal order was made
public it was hailed with open demonstration
of joy at the North. The imagination of the
prurient prudes pictured their sisters brought
down and trampled upon by a brutal soldiery.
That was the shame, that the humiliation that
their hearts had brooded over ; and the man who
gave the order— a Beast in the hands of men
became a hero in their minds. So the women
of Massachusetts have sent their representative
to Congress by 8,000 majority.
There he is ! Look at him ! There they arc!
Look at them ! — Albany Argus.
Protest ant Sisters of Charity. —There is
an institution at Dusseldorf, Prussia, estab
lished by the celebrated Pastor Fridner, for
the training of these deaconesses, who resem
hie the Catholic ‘‘Sisters of Charity.” They
wear a neat uniform, resembling the dress of
Quaker ladies. They have been found especi
ally useful as assistants to foreign missiona
ries. In 1851 the first of these deaconesses
arrived at Jerusalem, on the invitation of
Bishop Gobat, and soon proved that they were
invaluable assistants to the Bishop and to the
physician of the English hospital at Jerusa
lem.
A ludicrous incident was reported to have
occurred at the polls in Quincy, Mass. The
Hon. Charles Francis Adams deposited a writ
ten ballot. A few minutes afterwards he re
turned and stated that by mistake he had put
a receipt bill into the box. An examination
proved the correctness of the statement. It is
reported lie voted the Republican electoral and
Democratic State ticket.

The Election of 186 ft,
The Hartford Times, in relation to the late
election, says : “The result of the election on
Tuesday is the choice of Gen. Grant as Presi
dent of the United Stntes for four years from,
the fourth of March next.
“This result was secured to the Radicals by
' the elections on the first Tuesday in Oct, her in
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The struggle in
those States was severe, and very closely con
tested ; but by ibc use of miJliuw* of dollars in
money the lladiculs barely carried ihcwi—by
only about ten thousand majority in both .States,
on an average poll of a Mit.i.ioN of Votes! On
this slight hair hung the success of Gen. Grant.
It was seem red, and that is «U—scoured by
money and appliances that ought never to be
us, and in the elections of a five people; corrup
tion (crei oppression x*f laborers, as in the
miningd-isD-tots wlrere the Radicals got 9,000
nwjwrity, wlien a fair expression of the voters,
aocording to their own con fictions, would have
giv< n u majoiity the other way.
In the Presidential contest, tlie Democracy
went to the polls a beaten party. Knowing
that they had been defeated in advance, of
course hundreds of thousands of their voters
were desponding, and many did not even take
the trouble to east a ballot. Besides this, in a
most ill-advised and unwarrantable manner,
the New York World advised, practically, that
the party should disband during the contest
within three weeks’ time of the election!-
This had ns great an infliieree to depress and
defeat them as the October elections—perhaps j
a worse and more demoralizing influence, for
there was no time t > repair tlie mischief of the '
sudden arid unexpected blow.
Under these circumstances, Grant has carried
States that lie could not have won under almost
any otlior state of things.
But Gen. Grant is chosen. What next?
At tlie end of this fiscal year trie deficiency
and the inetcuseof the public debt will amount
to one hundred and fifty millions of dollars.—
The Radicals cannot help this unless they
change their policy. Their plan of governing
by the army settles this. They must change
to the Democratic policy of a fraternal Union,
or the increase of tho debt is inevitable.
What next? An increase of the taxes!
and this will border every man and family in
the land.
\\ bat next? The world v. ill see that our
debt is our master, and our national credit will
suffer. We cannot go to specie payments. —
We must endure the shoddy currency and all
except the wealthy and untaxed must take it,
depreciated and it redeemable as it is.
What next? An alarm among the bond
holders—a fear that their bonds will never be
paid, for the increasing debt w ill endanger them
all.
What next? The business interests, de
pressed, will lie presented with a gloomv pros
pect, for the North will still be carrying the
burden of supporting the South and the costly
military governments to hold it in subjection;
and the South will not be aiding tlie whole
country wiili two hundred millions of dollars
in gold annually ln-ought from Europe, the
income from its staple products. Business will
still suffer.
What* next? The simple question will he
presented to the people, of a Union as iur
fathers made it—of Stair governments by the
people, not liv the lwyonet-—of the Constitution
against usurpation—of prosperity and a free
government, against military rule and crashing
burdens upon business and the people.
What next? The people will answer for
themselves iu the elections that come rapidly
with the seasons.
A Farcf.—Happening in Charlestow n on
Thursday last, we had an opportunity of wit
nessing a West Virginia election (?) This
township or dstrict formerly polled between five
and six hundred votes. The iegistra'ion bo- ks
tliis year, as furnished to the supervisor, Con
tained tie names of fifteen voters, all t iltl.—
These were, of course, deemed loyal. The
polls were opened, tlie election progressed,
and at sunset eleven patriots had exercised tlie
privilege of tlie ballot. Tlie Rads made n
mistake, however, iu calculating on bo largo a
proportion of loyalty in that district for only
two of tlie eleven voted tlie Radical ticket.
It was tho most farcical of nil the election
farces ever enacted in (Vest Virginia—that
“bastard offspring of political rape.”—H7)t-
Chester Times.
Destructive Power of Salt.
A correspondent writes from the vicinity of
Baltimore, Md.:—‘‘We have lately been enjoy
ing ice cream at a dear price. A few weeks
since, the contents of a bucket of melted ice
and salt were carelessly thrown our, and got
dammed up about a fine grapevine and some
healthy hop vines; they were quickly killed,
as well as a raspberry hush that was also
flooded.
A few days since the same mixture was ig
norantly emptied into the bucket which is kept
handy for chicken scraps when the menl, etc.,
was put in to make up their breakfast, all
mixed up and giyen to tlio chickens. This
error cost us fifty chickens, ranging from little
b ihtails to old laying hens. In mentioning
this calamity to an acquaintance, he stated
that some time since a lot of salt was thrown
over a field for sheep, which being discovered
by the chickens of the adjoining village, they
flocked to it and regaled themselves. The con
sequence was a complete cleaning out of the
feathery stock. Os all those attacked at our
house but one recovered, though nearly a dozen
fought for life from one to two days.
Miss P. W. Forsyth, daughter of the pub
lisher of the Liberty, Miss., Advocate, has
assumed that position herself, after having
been engaged for twelvo years in the typo
graphical department of the paper. The paper
has been published for nearly thirty-three
years by her father, whose declining years and
feeble health have at length unfitted him for
the task.

The Editoi A School Roy VT'ompnsition.
A school lioy s composition oil “The Editor
ran as follows’ in a school not very far from
hero;
'lbe editor is one of the happiest animals iw
the known world. He can go to tlie circus
Afternoon -and evening, without paying a cent;
also to inquests aird hangings. He has free
tickets to picnics ami strawberry festivals,
gets wedding cake sent to him, aird sometimes
gets a licking, but not often, for be can take
things back in the next issue, which he gen
erallv dots. 1 never knew only one editor to
get licked. His paper busted that day, and
he couldn't take nothing buck.
While other folks have got to go to bed
early the editor can sit up late every night,
and sec all that is going on. The boys think
it is a big tiling to hang out till ten o'clock.
When I am a man I mean to be an editor, so I
can stay out nights. Then that will be bully.
The editor don't have to saw wood or do any
chopping, except with the scissors. Railroads
get up excursions for him, knowing if they
didn't he’d make them get up and git. In
politics he don't care much whom he goes for
if they are on his s'de. If they ain’t he
goes for ’em any way. so it amounts to nearly
the same thing. There is a great many peo
ple trying to be editors who can’t, and some
of them have been in tlie profession for years.
They can't see it though. If I was asked if I
had rather have an education or be a circus
rider, 1 would say let me go and be an editor.

ftea-Sickness.
If your enemy is a bad sailor, shake hands
with him when you land, for you have been
revenged in watching him at sea. Os all dis
mal ills, the disnialcst is sea-sickness. Let a
man break his leg, he will lie in bed with no
desire to die. Let him lose his arm, or catch
the small pox. or get bloated with the dropsy ;
the desire to retain life is ever with him. lie
will live while he can. But let a man he sea
sick, and life grows an intolerable burden.—
lie will gaze over into the depths of the blue
waves with a yearning to set his stomach to
rest beneath it. Can anything be more mor
bid than the expression of his eye? What
more suggestive of suicide than the color of
his cheek? How he hates every body ! The
officious steward, not unmindful of some pros
pective fee, who bobs so untiringly about him
with a mop and a basin, lie loudly execrates
between the gulps of his ever-recurring meal,
lie smells a distant cigar—there is a flavor of
death in the hideous odor—ah! what w ai'd he
give to be on shore again. There is something
po awful in tlie going up of the vessel and
something so abominable in the going down.
It is a rising that seems only to carry one's
i.. . ' .
bead with it, leaving it wi tho air horribly
{giddy and confustd. Then follows the low
sinking—a movement that seems *o subver: the
whole anatomy of the body—thrusting the
stomach into the throat—the heart into the
feet—whilst the head is left still, op in the air,
dazed, yellov, emptied. How a man envies
the bow legged steward, who seems incapable
of being upset by the jerk of the steamer ns il
lie were one of those China figures with r-mid
bottom-, which you may sometimes see in the
■ tov-sliops. How cheerily he thrusts his mop
about; how gaily he answers to the clinked
aud distant cry of “Steward! - ’ II >v astonish
ing to watch his steady progress along the
heaving deck, hi- arms full of basins, and his
complexion a- unpahd by llu- pioxiniity of the
horrid vessels its if each cheek were an apple.
In one of our large eiiies. a short time ago
a' Western editor was met hy a friend, who
taking him by the hand, exclaimed :
“I am delighted to see you. How long are
you going to stay ?’’
“Why, I tliiuk." said the editor, “I shall
stay while iny money lasts.”
“llow disappointed 1 am,” said his friend,
‘1 Imped you were g 'ing to stay a day or two.'
