THE PosT OFFICE DEPARrMENT.-We
are informed that on the summing up Of
the accounts of the Post Office Depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1865, the excess of receipts over expen-
ditures is found to be more than $780,
000 This is the first time in the history
of that department., that so favorable a
financial exhibit has been made, and tho
a portion of this retrenchment is due to
the increased number of letters written
and sent to and from the armies in the
field, considerable share of the credit is
due to the economical and business-ike
manner in which the affairs Of the Post
office Department have lately been con-
Quoted and the efficiency of the officers
who have been engaged in the mail ser
vice. There is good reason to believe
that after civil government is fully estab-
lished in the Southern States, and that
country is occupied by enterprising men
from the North, the mail service of the
whole country will be made self-sustain-
ing. Under the system inaugurated un-
der the present Postmaster General such
result is almost certain Washington
Chronicle.

THE Glorious Results-
iStoeepiug Union Victories EDeryaoherei-
The elections which took place the pres
ent week have without exception resulted
in decisive Union victories, affording con-
elusive proof of the devotion of the peo-
pie to the cause of the country and their
unaltered determination to retain in the
hands Of the party which carried the
country triumphantly through the late
struggle with armed treason the control of
her destiny.
Nelo York.-The attempts to steal a
march on the Unionm of the Empire
State by political trickery and false pre-
tences, utterly failed. The State has
gone Union by majority estimated at
10000.
Nea0 Jersey.-This State, the only Free
State in the Union that voted against
Lincoln and refused to ratify the Consti-
tutional amendment abolishing slavery,
has been gIoriously redeemed, and proud
ly takes her stand by the side of her pat
riotic sister States regenerated and olsen
thralled. Ward, (Union) is elected Gov
ernor by between 2, 900 and &, 900 majority,
and both branches Of the Legislature are
Union, thus securing the ratification by
that State of the.anti-slavery amendment.
This result has caused great rejoicing
throughout the country, and. our patriotic
President, on hearing the news, clapped
his hands with joy and shouted "Goodl
goodT'
Massachusetts gallant old State
remains true to her well earned fame
The Union triumph has been so complete
that hardly vestige Of opposition is dis
cernable.
Minnesota. Gone Union by large ma
jority-G Governor, Legislature and State
and county officers generally, sound and
reliable Union men.
Illinois, Kansas and Maryzand.-All
Union to the core. The result in each
showing increased Union majorities.

It seems to be finally definitely settled
that JEFF DAVIS is shertly to be brought
to trial for high treason. The President,
in conference a few days since with a
deputation of ladies from Baltimore who
called to present a petition for his
release, stated arrangements had been
perfected for giving him speedy and i'm
partial trial in accordance with the laws
of the country. In addition to this, the
Washington Chronicle, of Wednesday,
makes the following authoritative an
nouncement:
Eve are able to state positively that it
is the settled purpose Of the Government
to give Jefferson Davis a fair and impair
tiaI trial before jury of his peers, in the
highest tribunal of the land having juris-
dietion over criminal cases. It is but just
to state that the delay of the trial can
not be attributed to any act on the part of
the President of the United States

In one of the townships of Auglaize
county unanimous vote was cast for Gen.
Morgan, the Democratic candidate for
Governor-an achievement over which
the papers of that party have boasted not
little. A contemporary says the vote was
the result of misapprehension, the De-
mocracy of that interesting locality hav-
ing deposited their ballots under the i'm
preston that it was Gen. John Morgan,
the noted rebel raider and horse-thief,
they were voting for.

THANKsGIvING.-In another column
we give the Thanksgiving Proclamation
of Gov. ANDERSON. 1t is an admirable
production, and no one should fail to pc
ruse it 1t is a matter of regret that the
time fixed by the President and that by
the Governor is not the same. Two
thanksgiving days within week of each
other will necessarily conflict to some
extent. and may possibly result in pre-
venting either from being generally OBJ
served. It seems the Governor resolved
to sadhere to the established custom of
observing the last Thursday in Novem-
Der, after consultation with prominent
clergymen of various denominations in all
parts of the State

A FEMALE pnIsnNER.

Mrs. Grinder, the Pittsburg poisoner
has been convicted of murder in the frs
degree. On the announcement of the ju
ry's verdict, on Saturday, she remained
to all appearances, perfectly unmoveC
and unconcerned. Her case is one of the
most singular in the annals of crime
She seemed actuated with a'desire to poi
son people merely for the sake of doing
so, having no pecuniary or revengeful me-
tive for making way with her victims
She would volunteer to become the nurse
of a rich person, and then administer ar
senic IF any other nurse accidentally
came in and obstructed her operations,
says the Pittsburg Gazette, she grew jeal-
GUS and got them out of the way as soon
as possible, generally with dose of poi
son not quite sufficient to kill instantly
1t seems to have been no part of her plan
to kill any one outright, as that deprived
her of the luxury Of witnessing the tor
lures which accompany slow poisoning,
and hence her doses were limited, and in
tended to be accumulative. It is to this
fact that many of her victims escaped
with life, circumstances having intervened
to put them beyond her reach before she
had time, according to her plan, to COM
plete their destrUction.-G Gazette.

That eminent and faithful champion of
modern Democracy, PETROLEUM v. MAS
BY, who has since last fall found safe
and congenial refuge in New jersey,
which locality he denominated Saints
Rest, has been ousted and exiled by the
result of the election last Tuesday, and
must of necessity seek another asylum
the public sentiment of which is in con-
sonance with his peculiar views The
Ohio State Journal suggests Franklin
county, and the suggestion is peculiarly
appropriate and worthy of attention on
the part Of the distinguished parsonage to
whom it is addressed. An Ohio county
which at this day will roll up copper
head majority of 1900, in which the Con-
federate "Crisis" belches forth its undi-
luted treason, and whence issues brother
Given's "Christian Witness" the organ
Of Mr. Nasby's church,-should certain
ly afford retreat for the great apostle of
the new faith, in which neither his reli-
gious or political repose is likely to be
disturbed by such an occurrence as has
just overtaken him in New Jersey.
THE CHOLERA AT NEW YoRK-The
dread pes6sence which has steadily, dur
ing the last summer and present fall, been
advancing in its march westward, defying
all efforts to stay its progress, has finally
reached our shores. The steamship At
lanta, which arrived at New York last
Monday, had on board during the pas
sage fifty cases, fifteen of which proved
fatal; and since her arrival there have
been a number of additional cases and al
few deaths. The vessel is quarantined
some distance down the bay, and efforts
are making to prevent the spread of the
disease; but, looking at its history in pre-
vious visitations and its recent progress
through Europe and to this country, there
is little reason to anticipate exemption
from its presence in our sea-board cities.
or that it will fail to run its course as
through the country, though
it may be held in check by cold weather
for a season. The cases on board the
Atlanta have thus far been confined ex-
to the emigrant passengers in
he steerage.
