SECRETARY OF STATES OFFIcE,}
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. Ia, loo4'
EDITOR ONO STATESMAN
1t has been announced in several papers
that the Secretary of State has refused TO
receive Presidential election returns aiter
the 10th, and that the Estate Board oil Can
yassers have decided that all returns must
be In by that time." So that there may be
no misapprehension among officers who are
required by law to forward election returns,
and to acquit myself of any disposition to
be factious, permit me to say that the Sec
retary requires, in compliance with the old
statute regulating Presidential elections,
which has not beenrepealed, that the Sher-
ifs must deliver the home vote at his office
within eleven days. These poll-books are
to remain here unopened, until the twentieth
day after the election. With the returns ot
the soldiers votes the Sheriffs of the re-
spectiye counties have nothing what
ever to do. To each clerk of the court
who has written to NE as to his duty in the
matter of opening the returns, have re-
piled that the tally sheets returned to him
must remain unopened in his office until
the expiration of the twenty days, when
he will make an abstract, as in State elec-
tions, and return it to this office. The
home vote will be canvassed in this office
at the same time the returns made to the
Board of State Canvassers are being opened,
hence no votes will be lost.
Very respectfully,
WIN. w. ARMSTRONG,
Secretary of State.

Summary of Jen: Davis, src.snge,

A most important and significant portion
of the rebel news is the message OF jeff.
Davis to the rebel Congress, which assem-
bled on Monday last at Richmond. The
document is quite lengthy. The campaign
in Georgia is only mentioned in illustration
of the idea that, while the Federals have
penetrated to the interior of the South, and
occupied many important points, the great
object for which the Union forces set out
has not been attained, and that the results
Of ourgigantic expeditions have never been
commensurate with the sacrifice of life and
treasure. The condition of the finances is
referred to in doleful manner, and Con-
gress is urged to adopt Immediately some
system of relieffrom the rapid depreciation
of rebel issues and threatened bankruptcy.
Foreign Powers are severely criticized tor
their tardiness to recognize the Confeder-
acy, and the belief is expressed that no as
sistance need be looked for at their hands.
His suggestions concerning the War Depart
ment relate almost exclusively to the sub
ject of arming negroes. He strongly op-
poses the organization of negro troops for
active service. but recommends that 10000
slaves, to be employed exclusively In the
quartermaster and commissary departments
be properly drilled for service only in an
emergency, at which time their places may
be nlled Dy levy upon the negro popula-
tion. The belief is expressed that the EN-
ployment of negro troops will never be-
come necessary, as there are yet sufficient
number of whites, and that at present
the condition of the Confederacy does not
Justify the hazardous experiment of arm
ing slaves. Should it become necessary,
however, to do so, those who might 60 into
actual service.only should be manumitted.
The exchange of prisoners is briefly alluded
to; but 10 measures are suggested to hasten
it, the message only referring to the ar
rangements already made for supplying
prisoners with necessaries from home. A
readiness to negotiate for peace, whenever
both parties are agreed, is expressed, but
no new light is thrown on the subject what
ever, the United States Government being
looked to for an opening of the way to
negotiation. The reports of the several de-
partments are announced without comment,
and the message concludes as dolefully as it
commences. Some of the Richmond papers
comment pretty severely on this document,
JEFF. being charged with obscurity in those
portions of it referring to the arming of
the slaves andto proposed interference with
the press.

The Wool Trade.

The Ohio Farmer Of last Saturday says:
The wool trade is now mostly between
holders at second and third hand, and man
ufacturers, but few lots remaining in the
hands OF producers, so that wool growers
are only interested in keeping general
watch of the trade as an index of future
prices when they should again be In the
market. Our eastern advices are to the
effect that the trade is becoming more ac-
tive in fine fleece with general feeling that
prices will be higher after election. The
going price for this description of wool is
from $lOO to $1.05. Low wool has sold
considerably at 95c to $lO0. In two or
three weeks from this time, the wool trade
will probably assume more definite shape.

The Result.

Additional returns received since our pa
per went to press yesterday morning, con-
firm the apprehensions we then expressed
as to the general result of the Presidential
election. Notwithstanding the character ol
the voting i'm some election districts, there
is now no longer any doubt that Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew johnson have been
elected President and Vice President of the
United States, and it is the duty of every
good citizen to submit to the popular will
as expressed at the ballot box. 1t has been
decided that the nation is to enjoy four years
more of Mr.. Lincoln's rule, and an am
plifcation ofall the "benefits and blessings
which an Abolition Administration has
shown itself so " ell qualified and disposed
to shower upon happy and grateful peo-
pie.
a leading Abolition organ OF this city
claimed, yesterday, that the result of the
election was an Endorsement of the entire
policy and measures of the Administration.
This claim is Just. Emancipation, Coniisca-
tion, Subjugation, determination, haze
been indorsed: and we do not feel at liberty
to exclude social and political equality to
the negro from the ample range of the in
dorsement.
Democrats and Conservatives-not ap-
proving either the principles or policy of
Mr.. Lincoln-of course, as American citi-
zens, deplore the ills which they see loom
ing darkly in the future, as the result of
Tuesdays work. They, as citizens, must
share i'm the calamities in store for our COM
mon country-calamities which their judg
ment teaches them to be inevitable, if the
present Abolition policy be persisted in.
But, while they, as portion of the Amer
lean people, expect, and are prepared to
endure their share of the general adversely
which they believe must follow the rejrc-
tion of their principles at the polls, they, as
individual citizens, will have the proud con-
ISOLATION of feeling that they have not con-
tributed to produce the evils that are to
come upon us; while, as a party, they have
escaped fearful responsibility, which, for
the sake of the country, they were willing
to assume,

EFFORT TO REDUCE THE PRICE OF GOLD.
MIR. Stuart, the Assistant Treasurer at
New York, has been in Washingtonin In con-
sultation with Mr.. Fessenden, having been
sent for to consult upon measures to reduce
the premium on gold. He was instructed
to offer to commercial men, for strictly
commercial necessities, gold for one hum
dred and fifty, but none to be sold for spec
ulatiye purposes. Yesterday Mr.. Fessen-
den and Mr.. Harrington were in consulta-
ton as to how far they could go with this
operation. They decided that eight mil
lions could be spared for this purpose. In
addition to this, fifteen millions are to be
paid out for Interest ON the 18th instant.

one OF MosBY's MEs.-Mosby lost a
valuable assistant few days ago in the
person of adeserter from the 9Th New York
Cavalry. known as '.the big Yankee" This
fellow figured conspicuously in the capture
OF Gen. Stoughton, at Fairfax Court House,
over year ago. Indeed it was principally
through his aid that this dash Of Mosby's
succeeded. A few days ago Mosby had
some important messages to send to dis
tant point, and the errand was considered
a very dangerous one. "The Big Yankee"
proposed to undertake the job, and Mosby,
considering him very valuable and not de-
string to loose him, endeavored to persuade
him not to go; but he persisted in going,
and Mosby finally consented. On his way
he encountered q small squad of Union cav
airy, who halted him and demanded his
surrender He refused, saying there was
no surrender for him. At the same time,
he commenced firing into the squad which
had halted him. Our men returned the
compliment, which resulted in his death.

VOTING IN New YORK CITY-The pa
tience of the citizens was fairly tried in many
places by the long delay in reaching the
boxes, but no one seemed to be lacking in
courage and determination, whatever his
politics. Republicans and Democrats were
of course in close contact for hours. At the
first district in the 18th ward, for example,
the average time which each voter waited
during the day was nearly three hours, the
cue extending in numerous involutions for
several hundred feet, and keeping its length
undiminished till late hour. In one in
stance very old gentleman was observed
far back in the line, and it was doubtful
whether his physical ability would stand
another hours waiting. Without any
knowledge or question about his politics
there was unanimous agreement all along
the line to transfer him a half hour ahead,
and it was done. Such incidents speak
well for the voters of New York. The har-
mony which prevails at the time of voting
is the first step from the animosity of the
previous contest toward that hearty ac-
quiescence in the result which has always
characterized our peOple.-Jounal Of Com

The Tax on Spirits.

The Investigations of the Committee Of
Ways and Means on the taxation Of spirits
has developed much interesting information.
The annual consumption ofspirits as shown
by the New York trade is about 100000, 600
Of gallons. By the census Of 1850, Sc, 781, 557
gallons were produced in the loyal States
alone Under the Excise law, tax was paid
up to October 30, 1868, on 32,610,000 gal
Ions.
This is Of course, largely below the years
consumption, and is to be explained by the
confusion incident to the earlier working of the
act, and particularly by the difficulty Of dis
eliminating between stock produced before
and after Sept l, 1862. The monthly col
lections of revenue have steadily increased
and for the months of July, August Septem-
Der and October, 1863, the receipts on spirits
averaged 1922, 992, %, or at the rate Of 50, 875
96796 per annum. representing 1888, 785, 40.
For November and December the returns
were much larger.
