THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO 5 , CKA-. IbATVTRDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1872. THE RESULT. The October elections, says the Hart ford Times, settled the Presidential elec tion. Everybody seemed to believe that. Thousands of voters conceded the election to Grant when those re mits were announced, and took no more Interest in the canvass. Tens of thou mods who preferred Greeley to Grant did not vote at all on Tuesday; and there were too many Democrats, descen dants of the Bourbons, angry at Gree ley’s nomination and disregarding con stitutional principles, who, in a spirit of spite either voted the Grant ticket, or refused to vote at all. The result is before the people. Grant is re-elected. The Centralists, who wero arresting oitixen voters at the polls as the elec tion was going on, are strong in their power. The voice of the people is weaker —and it will be hushed in any State where Cameron orders Grant, with whom he boasts he is intimate, to issue his military proclamation to stifle it. The military ring is victorious. It oontrols the army and treasury, and uses both to perpetuate its own power. Constitutional government has no great influence. Decrees from the camp are •11 powerful. The order of government ia this country has been changed. For merly, the people were sovereign; now, the Centralists at Washington are dic tators as the Czar is sovereign and dic tator over Russia. The'Grant victory ia complete enough. The office-holders are rejoiced—and thousands of voters are rejoicing, too, over this Grant victory, which weighs heavily agaiust populai liberty—which humiliates the voters and weakens their ▼oice, by surrounding the polls with United States Marshals and bayonets when the sovereign centralist wills it. Many people are glorifying the victory that overshadows the popular voice,and strikes a deadly blow at popular decis ions in the elections. They may live and learn — but their prejudices, so far, are stronger than their reason; their LOVB OF DICTATION OVER TIIE SOUTH IS GREATER THAN THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT FREE GOVERNMENT REALLY IS. — Good Taste in a Radical Press.— The New York Cowmercial Advertiser, which made unsparing war on Mr. Gree ley during the canvass, affords a pleas ing contrast to the veoomous vindic tiveness of the limes, its coadjutor. The following, which we clip trom the former print, shows equal good tem per and good taste: The Elizabeth Journal docs not like Horace’s good-humored way of accept ing bis terrible defeat. We regard it as the very best thing he has ever done. The fight is over, the victory is won, and why shouldn’t the “era of good will” succeed? What said big-hearted Har ry of England ? “In peace, there’s no thing so becomes a man as modest still ness and humility.” Being Americans, we cannot keep “still,” but, being vic tors, we can afford to be magnanimous. Let up on the old man, Republican brethren of the quill, and in the words of ur conquering standard-bearer, “Let ua have peace.” To all of which wc say Amen ! and olasp hands across the chasm of our de feat with our “friend the enemy” of the Commercial Advertiser, “a man and a brother” — eveD though his face be white. —Sav. Republican. A Devil WoKSiurpEU.—New Salem, Indiana, has a devil worshipper, and is proud of Idm. Blaclt Bill is his name and cobbling is his trade. He lives the life of a hermit, and never washes, shaves or cuts his hair, which is very black. He is not handsome, but what he lacks in beauty he makes up in piety. He is tremendously pious, but believes the re ,; gious basis of the whole world is wrong. He holds that men* worship the wrong being, and that man would be happier and more successful if he were to offer up his devotions to and ask the aid of his Satanic majesty, instead of ap pealing to the Throne of Light, He pretends to believe that Satan is the true God of the world and ought to have due respect paid to him as such. Black Bill lately tried to get up a young men’s devil’s association and start a prayer meeting after his own creed, but the en terprise failed, and he is as yet the only acknowledged member of the sect of Devil worshippers. What is Wanted of the Government and Dominant Party. One of our city contemporaries Ims formalized the issues which should be kept in view the next four years, and which the Government and dominant party should bo held to. ; These are— no centralization; no extensions of the functions of the Federal Government; Congress and the President to bo de prived of all excessive and unauthorized powers assumed during and since the wurto bo brought back within the Icmits of tho Constitution; the States to con trol their elections; reform of the civil service; restoration of specie payment; revenue reform —all internal taxes to be abolished and the tariff to be put on a revenuo basis; only one term for the President, and no rc-clection of General Grant. This is not a bed programme. We agree with our contemporary as to most of it. The Prcsidcut and his party have obtained such overwhelming major ities ip the elections (lint they can do as they please both in the Federal and Stare governments. There is no power to obstruct their action. Thepeople, there fore, will hold them responsible. If the reforms needed he carried out the Re publicans can secure a long lease of pow er; but if tho confdence of the people be betrayed and their hopes disappoint, ed the party will be repudiated in fu ture elections. The successful Repub- licans should remember that there is but a shot t time intervening between one election and another, atid that the pub lic mind is quick to perceive the merits or short-comings of those entrusted with power. The war has been ended long enough to abandon the policy growing out of it. We want a peace policy for times of peace both in tin p •litical and financial administration of tl ( 'ivern tnent. Will the dominant patty under stand its rcsponsibiiity'am] opportunity ? — JSeu) York Herald. Bill Arp on l.lfe Insurance. “Bili / rp” has b on “interviewed” by several life insurance agents and fa vors the public in his inimitable style with his experience: A friend (I suppose ho was a friend) found me and wanted te see me particu larly. He took me a little way back and handed me out some little thumb papers, full of figures, and said he want ed to insure my life. That skecred me worse than anything, for it looked like I was in danger, and he had jus,t found it out. I asked him if he thought there would be a fight. lie explained things to me, and I felt relieved, and declined to insure for the present. You sec I felt mighty well, and couldn’t see the necessity. At the next corner I met another friend, who seemed glad to see mo exceedingly. lie held my hand in his several mo ments. lie axed me if my life was in sured. He said he was agent for the best company. lie then explained to me that I might die at any time ; that they didn’t undertake to keep a man from dying. So I declined, but ex pressed my gratitude for his interest in my welfair, and promised to buy a poli cy as soon as I got right sick. Just as I left him I heard him cull some pkeiler a durued phool. When I got to the hotel there was a man wathin’ for me on the same business. He talked to me for an hour on the uncertainty of life and certainty of death. I thought he was a missionary. lie seemed much concerned about my wife and children, and once or twice wiped his eyes with a pocket handkerchief. I knowned he was a friend, and told him I would rc floot seriously about the matter. I believe that company is a purely philanthropic institution, and would lend a fellar a few dollars if ho was suffering. I think I will try to borrow from their agent to morrow. This inoruing the first one come to see me agin, and I konkluded I was looking mity bad, and axed him to excuse me if I was not feeling well. I went down to Dr. Alexander and got a dose of salts. I told him I was sick, and the reason why. He told me all about it, and said there was about 100 of them fellars in town, and they bored a half inch at the first interview, and an inch at the second in the same hole, and so on till they got to the hollow, and the patients give in and took a policy. I don’t know about that, but will say they are the friendliest, most sympathizin’, and kind-hearted men I ever struck— only I don’t like, so much talk about coffins and graveyards. I don’t like the salts. Lvncii Law in Boston.—Among the notable events of tho Boston tiro, was the adminstration of*lynch law upon some detected thieves and incendiaries. 'J he Augusta Count nationalist thinks the Massachusetts people can now appreciate that lynch law may, at times, be a con servative institution, nnd that they should in future, nbato somewhat of their harsh ness in commenting ou similar rough jus tioe in other localities. ♦ ■ m A negro named Moses Barfield has been arrested in Macon, who affirms that a “Colonel Sneed,” a United States detective, attempted to bribe him to go to Savannah to testify against the Wil kinson county prisoners. He was prom ised two dollars and a half per day ar.d his expenses. The negro proved to be more honorable than the white man and spurned the offer. _ OBITUARY.

A Representative and Champion of Arrcrie ; T {?. Not for Sale in liook or News Stores. THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity, has none of tho temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; and a .collect ion of pioturus, the rarest specimens of articlin' skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the ro.il value and beapty of The AUline will be most up? [ predated after it has bepn bound up at the close jof the year. While othor publications may claim j superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a J similar class, The Aldine is a unique and original conception—alone and unnpproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of line paper and engravings in any other shape, or number of volume? J"br ten times its cost; and then, there are the chromes, besides; -A-X-.T ZDEIP.JVnTMEIXrT- Notwilhstnnding the increase in the price of subscription last Fall, when The Aldine assumed its present noble proportions and representative character, the edition teas more then doubled during the past year; proving that the Ameri can public appreciate, and will support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art The publishers, anxious to justify the ready confideneo thus demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop and improve the work; and tho plans for the coming year, as unfolded by (he monthly issues, will a.-tuiii-h and delight even the most sanguine friend? of The Aldine. The publishers are authorized to announce de signs from many of the most eminent artists in America. In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples ot the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success, and great est general interest; avoiding such as have be come familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produce four of John S. Davis* inimitable child sketches, appropriate to the four seasons. These plates, appearing in tho issues for January, April, July, and October, would be alone worth the price of a year’s subscription. The popular feature of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number wiii be continued. To possess such a valuable epitome of tho art world at a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of thousands in every section of the country ; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of The Aldine can be enhanced, in propor tion to the numerical incroase of its supporters, the publishers propose to make “assurance doubly sure,” by the following unparalleled offer of Premium Citron.os for 1873. Every subscriber to Th- Aldine, who pays In nd vanco for tho year 1878, will receive, without addi tional charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromos, after J. J. Hill, the eminent English painter. The pic tures, entitled “Tho Village Belle,” and “Crossing the Moor,” are ltx2U Inches—are printed from 25 different plates, requiring 25 impression? and.tlnts to perfect each picture. 'The sarao chromos are sold for S3O per pair in the art stores. As it is the determination of its conductors to keep The Aldine out of the reach of compe'ition in every depart ment, tho chromos will he found correspondingly ahead of any that can be offered by other periodi cals. Every subscriber will receive a certificate, over the signature of the publishers, guaranteeing that the chromos delivered shall be equal to the samples furnished the agent, or the money will be refunded. The distribution of pictures of this grade, free to tho subscribers to a tivo dollar periodical, will mark an epoch .to the history of Art ; and, con sidering the unprecedented cheapness of the price for The Aldine itself, the marvel falls little short of a miraclo, even to those best acquainted with the j achievements of inventive genius and improved 1 mechanical appliances. (For illustrations of these 1 chromos, see N member issue of The Aldine. Tle I literary Department wi 1 continue under tho care of Mr. Richard Hus sy Stood aho, assisted by the best writers and poets of the day, who will strive to have the literature of The Aldine always In keeping with its artistio attractions.
