One of the surest signs of this prosperity is seen in the advance of tbe price of lands. Farms that could have been bought a few years ago at four or flve dollar* per acre, cannot now be purdiased for less than eight to twelve dollars, and these are five buyers to one seller.

They screamed for assistance and were fortunately heard by some parties in a bouse near by, who rushed out to their rescue, when the villains, becoming frightened, precipitately fled, and it is te be regretted, succeeded in making their escape. The young ladies were greatly prostrated by nervousness, the result cf tbe fright.

The Repub lican President will apparently have at his back a Republican Congress. What they will they can do with the Southern States and their people. We hope and believe, however, that the business inter ests, which were the mainspring of Tues day’s work, will be opposed utterly to any legislation that would in auy way em barrass tbe agriculture and manufactures,' trade and commerce, of the South. It is to the interest of the North and West to take this position. They will do it when ever and as soon as the people of tbe Southern States cease to occupy the posi tion of would-be autocrats of the Union that they did their utmost to destroy. When this spectre. of Southern supremacy has been laid the Northern people will be freer to exhibit their kindly and interested feelings, and one of the first questions that tbe Southern whites will have to ask themselves is, whether the welfare of the South is likely to be hindered oradvanced by an alliance with the Democrats of the North. It does not hurt those gentry to be beaten. They are sure to have just and equal government in any event. Not so with the' South. In losing politically, tbe loses in pocket and in peace of mind. South WiM the South remain on the losingside? and, if so, on what terms and for what purpose? Southern people, we fancy, will make themselves beard ou this subject before winter is past.” Augusta, Ga., November 4.—The Chronicle and Constitutionalist says, in reference to the election: “The South at least has the satisfaction of knowing that •be kept her part ofthe bargain, and if the ‘hero of Gettysbure’ is not President, at is not her fault. We think, too, that she has for the iast time been led, lamb like, to the slaughter. Her experiments 'with loyal civilians and military heroes have not been propitious in the past, and tbe future holds out no hopes iu that -direction. What she will -da in the future, time must dis close. Much depends upon how much gsia the Republicans have made iu the Beaate and House and what their policy wilt be towards this section. The South wail be kept reasonably solid for her own, protection and lor the purpose of preserv ing the balance of power after tlie next apportionment when the political domain shifts from East to West. Tbe tre mendous problem now controntiug the two parties of all sections is: wifi tbe .administration of Mr. Garfield be, in case of a control of Congress, modelled upon that of Hayes, or dictated by Grant and Goskling, with Zachariah Chandler's spirit as inspiring goblin. Until we know'the exact nature of this administra tion, we remain in abeyance. Meanwhile we may'as well prepare for.tbe worst but hope for the best.

London, November 4.—In its com ments on the presidential election, the Daily Telegraph says: “The success of the Republican candidate presages not only a coutinuationbnt further extension of that prosperity which set in two years ago upon the other side of the Atlantic, and the influence of which is largely felt by these Islands within their own confines and also throughout the rest of Europe. The probability is that the next struggle for power wlll;be between the united free traders ot the South and West on the one hand, agaiust Eastern protectionists upon tlie other. In the opinion of far-sighted men, upon both sides ofthe Atlantic, it Is impossible for tlut momentous issue to be much longer delayed. London, November 4.—The Manches ter Guardian, a most influential repre sentative of tlie provincial press, coincides with the London papers in congratulating botu parties on the decisive result of the- election, leaving no opening for dispute. It says: There seems to be no reason why, if the Democrats do not change their tactics, the -Republicans should not hold office for another twenty years. Probably the former would- <k> well to let the question of Stats rights drop as ft r as possible.into obscurity. It behooves them to find another •rallying cry. This may eventually be furnished by “free trade,” which a succession of bad harvests or grad ual exhaustion of tbe soil may bring into the range of practical politics. There is no possibility of a modification of the tariff for at least four years.

LndiANAPOLIS, November 5.—In an In* terview with the bally JVetos,reported this morning, Hon. W. H. English talked free* ly about the election and its results. He thinks Indiana held up remaikably well, considering the defeat in October and that they have had a majority in the State only since 1872, and then less than 1,200 for Hendricks for governor. Personally, he feels no chagrin at the result, while feeling the honor of the unanimous nomination. The vice-presidency, with its influence and patronage, had no charms for him, and he feels rather glad to be left to lead a more congenial and profitable life. The~Democracy, with a Democratic Senate, a close House- of Rep resentatives, and the presidency decided by a small majority in a single State, will not die. Tb.e real cause of Republican success was prosperous times aud business satisfaction. The country thought It wis est to let well enough alone. Lack of harmony in New York, the October elec tion in Indiana and some other things may have had a little weight, but the main thing was business prosperity and a disposition to let well enough alone. Mr. English bewailed corruption in party pol itics as Tery different from the state of things forty years ago,' when he first en tered political life.

Oiaci Hi.pas - * a n M gau At the close of a lecture lately, Lord Monteagle, a young peer, said that so far as his own feelings went he should be giad if the House of Lords were abolished to-morrow. Tbe Upper House, lie said, had no power except that of vetoing the measures passed by the Lower Chamber, and was continually being reminded that it was dangerous to exercise that power. He felt that there was neither great honor nor great dignity in belonging to a nouse which was thus constituted, and for his- own part be should prefer to have the- privilege of being returned as one of the- peopie’s representatives to the House of Commons. The first Lord Monies'll., Mr. Spring-Rice, was a clever Limerick squire, who became chancellor of the exchequer in England, and further en joyed for many years a valuable sinecure office. He is credited with the dictum that “you should so humbug a humbug that lie thinks he is humbugging a hum bug,” and is said to have perfectly sue- eeded in practising what he preached. s Public speakers and lecturers can use their voice continuously and with safety by taking small or alterative doses of Dr- Bull’s Cough Syrup. A Flag of Truce.—Gen. Gordon, in' an account of the scenes connected with the surrender of Lee’s army, gave an' amusing instance of the undress condition' in which soldiers in the field sometimes- find themselves. Gen. Gordon had deter mined to send a flag of truce to General Sheridan, and for that purpose summoned Mgjor Hunter, of his staff, and told him to carry a flag of truce forward. He re plied, “General, I have no flag of truce.” Tiro General told him to get one. Be replied, “General we have no flag of truce in oar command.” “Then take your handkerchief and pat it on a stick: und go forward.” “I have no'handkerchief, General.” “Then borrow one and go forward with it.” “General, there is no handkerchief in the staff.” “Then, Major, use your shirt.” “You see, General, that we all have- on flannel shirts." At last a man was found who had b white shirt, of which the back and tail were tom off; and, rigging that peace lid emblem to a stick, tbe Major went toward the enemy’s lines.

But •toy—I stili had my treasured cigar*. 1 lighted this for him and placed ft between his teeth. You should have seen the poor feliow’s grateful smile!
