The Elections in Grant County Considered.


The electious in Grant County have re-
suited more favorably for our side Of the
political shades than We expected they
would, the republicans having a majority
Of near 400, besides the soldiers vote, from
which we have not heard.
There has been numerous changes in
the county from the democratic side to the
union, and changes about US numerous the
other way, SO that we but hold our own
as compared with former elections. The
only advantage we have secured is in the
kind Of men that have come over, being
the more intelligent and patriotic Of the
democratic party; while our men who left
US and voted the democratic ticket this
year are those who think not, read not
nor understand. To illustrate: Such men
were told to "Uote the democratic ticket
and stop the war, for the democratic par
ty are opposed to the par." Such was
the language used in Lancaster, in Ger
man and Engl sh, and it had an immense
effect-however false or true. The de-
ceived ones as matter of course never
thought to inquire how the democratic
party intended to stop the war Such
question would have paralyzed this
sugar coated bit Of advice, for no democrat
can answer, except by saying, eve mean
to suomit to the rebels and acknowledge
their independence, and thus stop the
war"
A few whose God is Mammon voted to
stop this in the same manner, seeming not
to know that by such means the whole
capital Of the country must be virtually
blotted fro@i existe &c, at least taxed out Of
reason.
But worst of all for us at the polls was
! the inacton Of our armies. which inaction
was charge upon our party. What has
Nc CielIan and Buell. done spitted from
every lipl Buell. has just been dismissed
doubtless at his own request to avoid
being shot by bis own men for cowardice
or treason. Had Buell. cen at the Grant
/ County polls, he'd nave votel adeWocratic
ticket to stop the war, just as every other
inactive, conservative or ebelsympathizing
General would Lave done. Mcclellan is
all right, bet then in Gods name what has
be done! lie too is charge against the
union party-for inactioa is the great
crime charged by all parties against the
union ticket. And McClelGn TOO is claim
ed as democrat-one who would vote to
stop this warl We ale glad Of this that
loyal men Of all parties seemed SO anx-
ious for a more vigorous warrior there
are hundreds of loyal democratic voters,
just as 10 AZ as our men; only their lead
ers are disloyal, and Chat under professed
cloak which claims them to be "jnst as
much for the ANTON as anybody, but, II
conditioned, DC.
What is true 10 Grant is just as trne
throughout the State and all Northern
States.

70 Creditors and Debtors.

Several financial articles appear in our
paper this week. As our aim is to set
and start tho people right and then keep
them on the safest track in view Of the
public prosp Gritty. we therefore devote
much attention TO the economy Of living,
buying and selling, debt avoiding ard debt
paying, &c.
1t is now tolerably clear, indeed a GER
iuty, that lands are to rise, and therefore
become onca more an article Of demand,
with some certain or fixed value.
We had already advised creditors to re-
eeive land in payment Of dues, and thus
relieve such as are hopeessly unable TO
pay; also, advised hopeless debtors to turn
over their lands to creditors without the
n ecessary expenses of foreclosure and sale.
There are hundreds Of persons in Grant
county allowing themselves to be annually
taxed for interest to the extent OF their
earnings. Better for all such to compro-
mise at once with those they owe, make
as good bargains rs they can and thus re-
lieye themselves aud begin anew. Now ia
tho time to make fresh starts, when money
is plenty and labor and the products Of la
Dor in good demand. You, debtors, can
not afford to let these prosperous times
| slip by without making something -rath-
er fooling away your time and labor TO
pay interest on old debts. Creditors, the
time is coming when you can sell lands at
fair prices anil get your money; better let
your suffering dsLtor bondsmen 60, as
God reminded Pharoah, and shift for them
sc.ves. You viii be better off BY il; 50
viii they.

Tie Question Of Recognizing The Southern Conielsray
IN England

The steamship Norwegian, from Liver
pool 23l. 0ia Londonderry the 24th uit,
has passed this point to Quebec.
The weather continued very bolsterous,
and additional marine disaster continued
to be reported.
GnEAr BRIrAlN.- The Times article
referring to the resolutions eontemp lated by
the confederate government to collect =
million bales Of cotton and ssh them in
Europe, subject to all contingencies as to
The date at which they can BE shipped,
saws: ut is not without Importance.
Should the resolution be passed, there are
probably many spectators who might be
tempted INTO the speculation, provided the
Confederates, by means, of the Ovieto and
other vessels, hope TO break up the block
ado Of Charleston or other ports during
the winter.
The Daily News thinks the Federal
cause has never before looked so Ike sue
+ cess ia its essential features. "The South
is almost at the last stage Of exhaustion,
while the North il nearly untouched in all
its resources. All that European nations
have to do is TO wait. The event must
lie soon decided by other influences than
those"
The Times Of course takes directly the
opposite view, aud says "More impor-
sant than news OF battles is the fact that
the New York money market has at last
began really 10 feel the dangers which
threaten the country: with not a single
Confederate State conquered, or likely to
be; with not one cent yet levied by taxa
tioL at the North; with an immense host
of raw recruits to be paid their bounty,
clothed and supported; with a gigantic
mass Of materials 10 provide for another
invasion, the Federal Government finds its
paper deprecated not far from a third in
value. Although probably no invasion Of
Pennsylvania Oh large scale is intended,
a fresh raid across the Potomac impresseS
the Fedcrals with the conviction that the ir
enemy is as full of spirit as ever" The
article then expatiates on the inlerminabe
and indecsiye nature OF the batties in the
West.
The Liverpool correspondent Of the
Times, Mr.. Spence, again urges medita-
ton or recognition, on the ground that Eu-
rope cannot remain callous either to the
suffering there or the horrors impenf,ing
elsewhere. He thinks the contest but too
likely to degenerate inioa brutal butchery,
and that England may then be driven to
take up arms to end such an outrage on
civilization.
The Daily Neps points to Summers
speech IN Boston and its reception, as a re-
futa,ion Of the Times argument that the
emancipation scheme would be repudiated.
Ii denounces the scandalous charges which
have been made against the authors and
abettors of the scheme.

ES ST. Louis has elected two radical
emancipationists to Congress. Blair was
defeated and in his Place radical aboli-
zionist chosen. The democrats, most Of
whom in that city are rebels, made but a
small show with their candidate. 1t is
thought the emancipation ticket has carried
the State.
Il is noticed everywhere as a remarkable
condition Of affairs that while the North
has tnrned in favor ofslavery an9 against
emancipation, the border South is turning

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Commercial ADV. !
The Presidents Proclamation in France.

Paris Oct II.
1t was the hope Of the French agents Of
the rebellion, as expressed in their journals,
that the confederate government would
meet Mr.. Line pla's emancipation proclama-
ZION by counter proclamation in the same
sense, so as to neutralizs as much as posi-
ble the influence Of Mr. Lincoln's act on
foreign popuh tons. But the violent de-
ate on the subject in the confederate Con-
or IS, which has just arrived, his put to
rout this hope and thrown the secession
writer's into a most embarrassing position.
For two days they have said nothing on
the subject. but the attacks of our friends in
the press will force them out sooner or la
ter, and We are curious to see how they are
going to Dodge the dilemma w do not
expect, Of course, to see them fenounce
their fayorite text that slavery has nothing
do with The war, and that the NORTH is as
much in favor Of maintaining the institu-
tin rs the South; but they viii be oblia-
ed to inent some new argument to salts
fy their readers and TO cover up the
real motives Of their support Of the rebel
lion.
