Great Financial Panic in brazi---FaiIures
Amounting to Fifty-Gve Millions OF Dollars.

Letters from Brazil confirm. the magni-
tude Of the failures lately reported. The
liabilities Of the house of Santo & Co, the
largest bankers in RIO de .Janciro, are sta
ted to be 60. 900 coo; those of Gomez &
Fills, 81 ,G0O00D those of Montenegro
& LIMA, 81 600 900 An extraordinary
number Of failures Of similar houses fol-
lowed the downfall of the bank ing houses
and the aggregate liabilities Of the houses
that ha e fai ei is placed at fl 100000
The stoppage of the house Of Santo & Co.
appears to have been the cause of the en-
tire mischief.
Their assets are estimated at 80 to so
per cent of their liabilities, and they ought
to haze stopped three years ago The
banking house of Bahia, inmes & Co held
their ground during drain of many DAYS,
paving out G600,000 This established
public confidence in this house, and there
were symptoms Of Improvement at nst nd
vices. During most of the period Of the
panic the excitement WAS such that the
military and police were called out and
the banking houses were occupied by the
troops. The convu sion is not in any de-
gree attributed to unsoundness in trade,

EGYPT CLAIMS THE BANNER Southern

EGYPT CLAIMS THE BANNER thern
Illinois has long been known by the
cognomen Of =" Egypt" on account of It's
uneducated mass es aud almost unanimous
Democratic vote in former elections. The
counties comprising the 18th Congression-
al District, the extreme southern portion
of the State, gave about 10000 majority
against Mr. Lincoln in 1860. This year
the result is reversed, and the district not
only gives Mr. Lincoln n majority, but
also elects A j Kuykcndalf, a sound
Republican Unionist, to Congress by 900
majority The home of Gen. John ~
Logan, Johnson County, gave Lincoln but
40 votes out of COB east four years ago,
and now it gives Lincoln from 500 to
1000 majority. Can any County show a
better record ? We think not, but that
the entire Union will concede the banner

The Result.

AS we had predicted previous to the
election, the sovereign people OF the
United States have sanctioned the policy
of the administration of Abraham Lincoln
by calling him to fill the Presidential chan
for another four years. Mr. Lincoln Is
not only reelected but he viii have a
greater majority than any President ia
before had, when there has been ioTihai
opposition at the polls
Never since the organization OF our
Government has Presidential candidate
met with a more bitter and determined
opposition than has been put forth again st
AR Lincoln No criminal at the bar was
ever charged with greater crimes than has
been attributed TO him by the opposition
And vet the people have disregarded ali
the abuse heaped upon him and given him
such nm overwhelming vote as to convince
even his opponents that their vitupera-
<ions were unjust and UNDECIDED. Less
than four years ago Mr.. Lincoln was COM
nslled to pass through Maryland on his
Nay to Washington in disguise, because
the assassin stood ready at Baltimore to
take his life, and yet, strange as It may
appear, that same Baltimore has now APP
proved Mr.. Lincolns ADMINISTRATION by
twelve thousand majority, and Maryland
casts for him her united electoral vote
Such are the evidences of his popularity
with the masses, aud such ev'e ences
should operate as q scathing rebuke to
AR Linco'n's traducerS, both North and
South. The opposition brought out their
most popular man, and hoped to elect him
upon his war record, while they openly
opposed the war Their hypocrisy WAS
so apparent that the people have pro
nounced them unworthy Of confidence or
trust; and such will ever be the case with
any political party that resorts to snch
unprincipled measures of electloneerinG
as has been the case with the self-styled
Democratic party during the campaign
just closed.

there is now no longer a hope of success

WINGED that the Union sentiment is quite
zoo strong to justify an attempt to carry
cut their threatened designs of revo ution.
We confidently believe now that the DAYS
of the rebellion are drawing to a close
The discouragement to the rebels will be
felt throughout their armies, while our
boys in blue, feeling themselves back d
bv .ileir friends at home, will renew their
determination to close the contest, and we
bctieve that ere another year rol round
the job will have been completed, and our
