The Centennial Glory.—Tilden,
Hendricks and Reform, “ the Amer
ican Union one and inseparable/'
Oregon to tub Front.—Wont
it be glnripus if Oregon, which has
long been Democratic and now lias a
Democratic Stale Government, gives
the needed votes to settle the ques
tion of Tilden and Hendricks’ elec
tion. This would be a just retribu
tion upon the party of corruption,
which are now seeking to defeat the
will of the people by fraudulent ma
nipulations of the returns from the
down trodden States, Florida, South
Carolina and Louisiana. This result
i. by no means improbable; indeed,
there is innch hope from Oregon.
lb Victory of Tilden and Hendricks.
It means refoi m to that corruption
which has disgraced the closing
years of our Centennial existence.
It again anchors the Anierieau
Union safely in its moorings around
the Constitution of our revolutionary
fore-fathers.
It brings death to sectionalism and
renews that compact which ^again
makes the States co-equal In one com
mon American Union.
It brings freedom to all, and equal
rights under the law to every Ameri
can citron.
It puts an end to personal govern
ment and launches the Republic tri
umphantly into another, new and, God
grant, better century.
upon the friends of honest, true and
good government in the Northern
and Western States. We of the
South, conscious of having done our
whole duty fairly, honestly, and in
accordance with every true principle
of right, towards the restoration of
good and true government, can only
patiently await the result. ’
Iftj SkwM Tkey Hot Bejoiee?
Why should the colored people of
this country wish other than the elec
tion of Tilden and Hendricks ? With
this result, they will find out, not
only that tlieir Northern enemies
have been deceiving them by telling
them democratic success meant their
re-enslavement, but, that under such
a result, they w ill, for the first time
since tlieir release from bondage, be
gin to realize that they are indeed
free.
Away with such miserable ideas,
and remember, colored people, that
the first movement ever made for
your re-enslavement, or for taking
from you your right of franchise, will
emulate with your Radical enemies,
who have so long been deceiving you.
The continuance of your freedom
and of your rights can now he best
guaranteed by uniting solidly with
your true friends, the white people of
the South. This, you will find to be
true advice ere many mouths have
come and gone, and as your best
friends, the white people of the
South would counsel you to heed the
admonition.
ORIENTAL NECTAR.
Tic Pnside.tiil tlcdiaa.
There can he no doubt of the elec
tion of Tilden and Hendricks. That
they have received one hundred and
eighty-four electoral votes, has beeu
conceded by both parties. This,
then, even by the admission of
the Republicans, leaves only one vote
ueces ary for their election, which
Tests the result upon the securing of
one of the three States—Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana—for
the democracy. That these States,
from the evidences received, have
• V.
gone democratic, is equally as cer-.
tain as the result in any one of the
States already admitted in the dem
ocratic count.* Bat the Republican
party, desperate under the recog
nition that tho election of Tilden
means their eternal overthrow and
destruction, are now in the full exer
cise of that shrewd scoundrelism and
base corruption which bos ever char
acterized its existence with a view of
manipulating the returns of these
; three States. This exercise, then, of
tho armed power of the Administra
tion, depends the final result, the ques
tion as to whether the people have a
right to make ohoico of their next
President, entirely npon the power
of the Rad'cal party to carry out
their corrupt purposes.
This presentation, this existance of
/acts brings a grave issue, indeed, a
momentous crisis upon the American
]>eople. Whether or not the will
of the people shall be thwarted by'thu
exercise of the armed power of t!:e
government, in the hands of a party
unwilling to yield to the sovereign
voice of the nation, remains to be
soon. The determination of this
question, and the defense of tho
rights of tho people against the
usurpation of power by tho Repub
lican party, depends altogether
The 7l! ay of Rerember, the Shtliiiah if
American Liberty.
The 7th day of November, 1876,
ushered upon the American nation
with such beautiful brightness, such
propitious calmness as if the God of
nature had “ fixed the day of battle,”
witnessed one of the greatest, most
glorious and triumphant political
victories which has ever marked the
history of this country. On this day,
ever to he remembered as the sheki-
ualt of American liberty, a nation
bowed down, outraged and oppressed
for eleven long years by one of the
most corrupt governments the world
ever saw, buckled on their political
armor and with a Spartan courage
never before witnessed in the life
time of this Republic, celebrated the
closing year of our Centennial exis
tence by the deotion of Tilden and
Hendricks; thus bringing unto this
people and nnto this nation that
political reform which buries all
sectionalism, which again unites our
land, and which returns tho Ameir
can government safely, surely and
securely to its moorings around the
Constitution of our fore fathers.
Yes, in the midst of this victoiy,
eren now American citizens, breath*
ing the atmosphere of relief aud re
form, beg>n to hold up their heads,
recognizing once again that they are
the sons of freedom, the rightful heirs
oflibely.
Gov. Hampton to the People.
A temperate and characteristic
ADDRESS OF CONGRATULATION
ON THE VICTORY.
Columbia, November 10.—The fol
lowing address has just been issued:
To the People of the State:
In offering to onr people my heart
felt congratulations and gratitude for
the grand Victory they have won, I
venture to beg them to prove them
selves worthy of it by a continued
observance of good order and a rigid
preservation of peace. ‘ Let ns show
that we seek only the restoration of
good government, the return of pros
perity and the establishment of har
mony to the whole peope of our State.
Id the hour of victory we should
be magnanimous, and we should strive
to forget the aniihosities of the con
test by recalling the grand results of
our success. Proscribing none for
difference of opinion, regarding none
as enemies save such ns are inimical
to law and order, let ns all unite in
the patriotic work of redeeming tho
State. By such conduct we cannot
only bring about good feeling among
all classes, but can most surely reap
the best fruits of victory.
Wade Hampton.
Haslieesh in a Turkish Es
tablishment in Bleecker
' Street.
Adventures ofa Barber-How
i Saracen from Damascus
Is Making a Fortune—
Strange Dreams of
Paradise.
[New York Mercuryl
On Bleecker street is a small bar
ber-shop, kept by a short, middle-
aged man, with flashing black eyes,
curly, black hair, and a dusky com*
plexion Ho speaks English fluently,
though with a decidedly foreign ac
cent. To those to whom he has un
bosomed himself (and their number
is quite limited), lie has oltcn com
plained that the great grief of his
life since he embraced the barbering
profession, has been that he has been
taken for an ordinary African. Afri
can he is, to tie sure, hut a native of
Morocco, and his aqtimrie nose shows
that he is of good descent. In liis
native country, his name was Ah Ben
Kolar, and since his youth, lie has
seen a great deal of the world. A
Mohammedan by faith, he is still
ready to argue with any upholder of
a different creed; and he asserts, ve
hemently, that there are no people
so happy as those who live nnder the
crescent, and whose Bible is the
Koran. What he was in Africa,
Turkey and Persia, all of which conn-
tries he visited before he was twenty-
five years old, he has never divulged to
anybody; but when he came to the
United States, some twenty years
ago, he made a great deal of money
as a juggler or an athlete. Finally,
he broke his left wrist, and he had
to abandon the show business. So
lie became a barber.
A reporter of the Mercury hap
pened the other day to find himself
under Ah Ben Kolar’s razor. He
was in ail unusually good humor, and
he talked more than is his habit. He
even cracked harmless jokes about
the women that were, passing his
shop—harmless, we say, for one of the
good traits of the MuSStilttian is, that
he never indulges in offensive or in
decent remarks about the fair sex.
For aught we know, the Koran for
bids him to do so. Suddenly the
barber’s attention was attracted by
a fashionable carriage stopping iu
front of a house on the other side of
the street,
“ There is another one.” he said,
with a significant smile. “ Another
what?” asked the reporter. “An
other woman that is going to be
transported,’’ he replied.
The mystified reporter requested
Mr. Ah Ben Kolar to speak in more
intelligent terms. Instead of giving
a straightforward answer, he simply
replied, “Look at the house across
tho street!”
The reporter looked at it. It was
a nice houso, and on a large door
plate was the word “ Dentist.”
“ Well,’’ lie said to the barber, “a
dentist lives over there, and I sr.p-
pose the lady that entered ti»e house
just now, wanted to have some of
her teeth pulled.”
Ah Ben Kolar burst into laughter.
“No,** he said; “she went into
that house to eat hashees.” “ What,
to take that intoxicating drug ?’’ ex
claimed the reporter. “ Intoxicating!”
echoed the barber, contemptuously.
“Why, it is a profanation to use that
vulgar word in connection with
hashees, the gift of Allah, to lighten
the burdens of the poor mortals and
make them see heaven while under
its influence/’
- “.Ah, you have taken it, too, then?”
remarked the reporter. “I can not
deny it, and I have never felt the
worse tor it. I have eaten opium.
Fie! you feel so nasty aller.you have
got over its influence. But hashees
makes you feel like a god, and when
you awake from your enchanting
dream, you arc as sound as you were
before taking it. When I wake up
from a hashees dream, I invariably
am hungry, and can eat a hearty
meal.”
THE ONLY HASHEESH HOUSE IN NEW
YORK.
“ But what about the bouse across
the way ?” “ It is tho only hasheesh
house in New York, sir. However,
you do not get the article as good as
you find it in the orient. Still, it is
fair enough, and a good dose of it
over yonder, will give you a very de
lightful dream. The man who keeps
it, pretends to be a Saracen from Da
mascus, but that is all moonshine.
He is either a Sicilian or a Maltese,
for I have heard him speak Italian,
and he is running after a Jewish girl.
But he speaks Turkish very fluently,
and he is as sharp as a steel-trap. I
shave him occasionally, and he pays
me by letting me eat as much
hasheesh as I want. I do not indulge
very often, however, as it makes me
feel too good for my humble position
in life. He has his rooms fitted up
elegantly.”
FIVE AND TEN DOLLARS A D08E. •
“But who are his customers?”
“ He has plenty of them. He man
ages to find out what wealthy fami
lies have been from New York to the
Orient. Most voting New Yorkers
who visit the east, try hasheesh, and
curiosity or appetite makes them in
dulge in it here if they know that
they can do so without attract ing any
attention. That opportunity, they
have at that house over yonder. But
lie* has not only male customers,
plenty of aristocratic ladies also pa
tronize them. In the Orient, we do
not Allow wemen to eat hasheesh.
Were he a true Turk, lie would not
do so either. But he is a Frank, and
I believe 'more women go to his place
than men/’
“ What does he charge for ?”
“ One seance, as lie calls it? Oh, five
dollars to men, and ten dollars to
women. Oh, he is making money
he is talking about buying the house
lie occupies.”
“ How does he administer the
hasheesh ?”
“He gives it to women as tea to
drink ; to men, to smoke in Turkish
pipes, and to me, to cat. In that
wa/, 1 get more of it, for I require a
strong dose He must have been in
that business in the Orient, for he
knows how to make hasheesh excel
lently. He imports all the raw mate
rial from Aleppo.”
“ Could he not make the drug
from American hemp ?” “ My friend,
no. I have tried that myself. A
decoction of the American hemp-
plant makes a nauseous beverage,
all hough it excites yon to a certain
degree. Even the sp endid Turkidi
hemp is not good for the purpose;
■the Constantinople hasheesh men
have to import it from Damascus,
where it is only raised in its p«rfect
state. But, if yon want to try-it sir,
do it before eating a meal. On a full
stomach, hasheesh will conjure up be
fore you frightful apparitions—enough
to haunt your slumbers for many a
day.”

Ond Cause For Thankfulness.
PRESIDENT GRANT’S LAST PROCLAMA
TION OF NATIONAL THANKGIVING.
By the President of the United States;
A Proclamation.
From year .to year we have been
accustomed to pause in onr daily pur
suits and set apait a time to offer our
thanks to Almighty God for the spe
cial blessings lie has vouchsafed to
us, with our prayers for a continu
ance thereof. We have at this time
equal reason to be thankful for His
continued protection, and for the
many material blessings His bouuty
has bestowed. In addition to these
favors accorded to us as individuals,
we have especial occasion to express
our hearty thanks to Almighty God
that by his providence and guidance
our Government established a century
ago has been enabled to fulfil the pur
pose of its founders in offering an
asylum to the people of every race,
securing civil and religious liberty to
all within Us borders, and meeting
outjto every individual alike justice
aud equality before the law. It is,
moreover, especially our duty to offer
our humble prayers to the Father of
all Mercies tor a continuance of His
divine favor to us as a nation and as
individuals.
By, reason of all these considera
tions, I, Ulysses S. Grant, Presidentof
the United States, do recommend to
the pei pie of the United States to
devote the thirtieth day of Novem
ber next to the expression of their
thanks and prayers to Almighty God,
and laying aside their daily avocations
and all secular occupations, to as
semble in tlieir respective places of
worship, and observe such day as a
day of thanksgiving and rest.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to he affixed.
Dono at the city of Washington
this twenty-sixth day of October, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hpnured and seventy-six and of
tho Independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
