Domestic GooDs.-Our readers in the Dry
Goods trade will not fail to notice Edward
Lyman's advertisement of goods at whole
sale. Mr.. Lyman has been fortunate enough
to get hold of a large lot of Cotton Sheetings
which were bought three or four years ago,
and held for rise. The goods went up to
20 cents, but the holder, being stiff Demo-
srat, and having no faith in the power of the
government to suppress the rebellion, held
on for a dollar. But the bottom dropped
out of the rebellion and of the market, and
the holder has now found it advisable to sell
at about half the price he could once have
got As the quality Of these goods is supe-
rior, and the opportunity a rare one. dealers
will find it to their advantage to secure them
at once without delay.

The October Elections.

The returns of the October Elections
look better and better as they come in, and
the Democratic papers which have been
throwing up their caps over supposed Dem
ocratic gains are beginning to sing small. In
Penn. forty-two counties OFFICIALLY give
the Union candidates clear majority of II =
600. The reported majorities in the balance
of the State, twenty-four counties, give 5000
to 1000 Union majority. The majority on
the home vote will certainly exceed that of
President Lincoln on the home and army
vote by several thousands The Union party
Will have two-thIrds of both branches Of the
Legislature. The figures show Union gains
in thirty-eighi of forty-two counties, official
ly returned.
In Ohio Gen. CoI's majority has reached
Is, 900, with seven more Counties to hear
from.
In Iowa the majority for Gov. Stone, who
boldly advocated negro suffrage, will be
$1,000. The balance of the Republican ticke
is elected by nearly 20, 900 majority.
In Indiana, Union gains are shown in the
darkest corners of the State
These results are having their effect q

RECEPTION VAULT FOR THE DEAD.-Our en-
terprising townsman, Jacob Green, is about to
commence the excavation preparatory to the
construction Of a spacious receiving vault, for
the deposit of cOrpses, which for any reason, are
not ready for speedy burial. The cases have
been frequent. Of deaths Of strangers at our ho-
tells, or of persons whose remains were to be re-
moved to distance, when such a vault was
imperatively needed. 1t will. We doubt not, be
valuable accessory to Mr.. Green's extensive
business as an Undertaken, and unless the city
authorities locate cemetery soon, it may be-
come of great value to the public as the sole
place of deposit for our dead generally.
By the way, speaking Of Mr.. Green, our rea-
ders will notice his advertisement Of Horsersd-
ish and Lint, in another column. 1t is singular
that 50 Jolly mortal as Jacob" should have
selected such mournful lines Of business. Ground.

The Governor,s Message.

Governor Dillingham's message is briei
and contains but few points to which he di.
reefs legislative attention. Much that he
naturally would have adverted to, as histor-
ical, is embraced in the retiring message OF
his predecessor. and does not call for legsla-
tive action. The changed condition of the
State finances is shown by the recommends
ton of a State tax of sixty-fye cents on the
dollar Of the Grand List, to NEE; current ez-
penses and in addition thereto, TO provide
Sl5O,OO0 to purchase outstanding State
bonds. Last year the State tax was one
hundred and twenty-five cents on the dollar.
Forty cents year for the next six years af-
ter the present year, it is estimated, Will
meet current expenses, and make an equal
annual reduction of the State delt, and thus
bring what shall remain unpaid at that time
within a moderate compass. Whether this
view takes into account the annual expendi-
ture to support our militia system, as it now
stands, the message does not state.
The Governor throws doubt on the eff
cheney of the system which has been in force
for short time in regard to the pay of
States Attorneys. Many will agree with him
on this point.
The inquiry whether better way can not
be devised than the me hitherto followed for
the case of juvenile offenders, deserves seri-
Gus attention. The subject is not new one
but none the less important on that account.
The other topics of the message do not call
for special remark We think however, the
Governor compliments the intelligence and
good sense of the Legislature rather highly
where he says, "your own experience. and
vigilance will doubtless lead you to all proper
legislation, while your prudence will prevent
all that is unnecessary" We do not believe
the Legislature of 1865 will exceed in wis
dom all its predecessors quite to that extent
We rather wonder that the message con-
tains no allusiOn to the present organization
OF the State Militia. The subject is highly
important one and might well have been ad-
verted to.-The paragraph near the close Of
the message, on the institutions of the State
on the equality of all men before our laws,
&C., is worthy of the Chief Magistrate of
the State which never allowed human chat
telism to exist under its laws or usages for a |
moment, and which knows no difference of |
color or race under its laws. and never did.
