AN ELEPHANT ON A BENDER.-The
big elephant attached to Dan Rice's cir
Gus, that exhibited at Utica last Satur-
day, says the Utica Observer, 25th, con-
Guided to go on a raid last night. His
keeper had confined him in the tent on
the commons, back OF the reservoir for
the night, and then thinking his charge
would behave, went to his hotel. In the
middle Of the night the police at the
station house were aroused by a man
rushing in, SO excited that he could
hardly speak. He declared that the
wild beasts had broken loose, and that,
headed by the elephant, they made az
attack on Corn Hill; and that the citi-
zens of that locality were fleeing wildly
for their lives, and that he had barely
escaped to tell the tale! The driver OF
his elephantship was aroused and on pro-
ceeding to the scene Of action the ele-
plant WAS found in 4 garden, corner OF
Steuben and Eagle streets, quietly
munehing cabbages, turnips and other
" garden sass" Somebody who watched
his motions, says fences We're no pro-
lection ut all. He would quietly pick
up o length Of fence and lay it on one
side, and then clay into" the coveted
cabbages. in Il short time the contents
Of three gardens had been disposed Of,
and he was looking about for more pro-
visions when the keeper arrived and
relieved the anxiety Of the inhabitants
of that locality.

The Democratic gains in Indiana are
very heavy, as compared with 1864.
There IS larger vote .pollea, and the
increase, save i'll one district (GolfaX's1,
is wholly Oh the Conservative side
Niblack, Democrat, in The first District,

Kerr, Democrat, in the Second District.
has increased from ,793 to 1,977. Hum
ter, Republican, gets less than 600, when
his radical predecessor had over 500.
Julian, in the Fifth District, has his
majority cut down from I ,l45 to about
600. This is an enormous gain. In the
Sixth District, Coburn has only 1900
1888 two years since. Washburne, Re
publican, in the Seventh District, is re-
ported to have made a small increase
Ortiz, Republican, in the Eighth District,
has only 800 against 1,437 two years
since. There is no noticeable change i'll
the other districts. We doubt if the
radicals will have seven thousand ma
jority in the Congressional vote, against
twenty thousand two years since.

General Grants Vieecs OF Resforu-
tiOU.
Conclusions Of General Grants Re
porto the President after q Tour Of in
spectio7e in the South.

The following are the conclusions
come to by me:
| am satisfied that the mass Of the
thinking men of the South accept the
present situation of affairs in good faith.
The questions which have heretofore
divided the sentiments of the people of
the two sections Slavery and State
Rights, or the right of a State to secede
from the Union-they regard as having
been settled forever by the highest tri-
bunal-arms-that man can resort to.
l was pleased to learn from the leading
men whom / met that they not only
accepted the decision arrived at as final,
but that now the smoke of battle has
cleared away, and time has been given
for reflection, that this decision has been
fortunate one for the country, they re-
ceiving the like benefits from it with
those who opposed them in the field and
in the Cabinet.
My observations led me to the con-
clusion that the citizens of the Southern
States are anxious to return to self-gov-
eminent within the Union as soon as
want and require protection from the
Government; that they are in earnest
in wishing to do what they think is re-
quired by the Government not humili-
alns TO them as citizens, and that il
such a course was pointed ont they would
pursue it in good faith. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that there can not be a greater
commingling at this time between the
citizens of the two sections, and particu-
larly those intrusted with the law-mak-
ing power.
U. S, GRANT,
Lieutenant General

to their poverty l am reminded what
was said to me by Southern physician.
He said these States were in the condi-
ton of man who has had smallpox
in the natural way. They have had
secession" and gone through with it
in due course; and to ask them to give
guarantees not to go through it again
was like asking a man to give bail new
er to have smallpox second time!
Laughter and applause. The clam
or for guarantees reminds me OF what
the secessionists said in 1860. Davis,
Toombs, Hunter and others, in the Sen
ate Committee, demanded new guaran-
tees. They wanted us to change the
Constitution SO as to give new guaran-
tees for slavery, just as certain North
ern men now insist that Weshall change
it in order to give new guarantees to q
Union that is sufficiently guaranteed by
the triumphant result of war.
But let me pass to another Illustration
| can understand why the small States
Of Europe should want guarantees i'll
a treaty of peace. l can understand
why Holland, Belgium and Switzerland
should desire them. But what would
you think of England, France or Rus
STA demanding guarantees against the
little States? Such demands would sub
.ject them to the ridicule of the civilized
world.
Let me come nearer home. Suppose
there had been fight between Penn
sylvania and Delaware. You and I
can understand why Delaware should
want guarantees against Pennsylvania.
But what would we think if Pennsyl
vania, in settling with her little neigh
Dor, should demand guarantees that
Delaware would never invade Pennsyl-
yania? [Shouts, of laughter. What
ical courage of the men in Congress who
want guarantees from the ten miserable
impoverished and defeated States of the
South?
The New era. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1865-1871, 1866-10-18

that it was reformed on totally differ
ent theory, and that they may rightly
prescribe terms of union to the smaller
States, and turn them out if they do not
accept them. But let no one imagine
that turning them out' implies q
division OF the Union and departure
of any States from all connection with
the government. The radical plan, now
to be made a precedent if adopted, is to
say to States, You may have repre-
sentation on our terms, if you wish it,
then you shall be governed and taxed
without any representation. The new
doctrine of secession has added to it the
claim Of q right to conquer and subject
the smaller and weaker States, and to
make them territories. The old theory
of union will be forever destroyed; the
new theory will take its place; and the
end will be the end of American liberty
All the safeguards Of the Constitution
will vanish before this principle of
amending whatever the majority at the
time dislike. The principle Of a union
of States with certain reserved and in
alienable rights as States being laid
aside, New England will be compelled
to accept social and commercial law as
the people of the South and West may
choose to prescribe it. States will in
time disappear, having no foundations
to stand on, and no legal or equitable
protection against the will Of the people
of other States. When annihilated by
the form of constitutional amendment,
they will be unable to plead any I'M
changeable rights reserved by the old
terms Of union in the old paper called
a Constitution. These are no wild views.
They are possibilities, probabilities, GER
tainties in our national future, unless we
stay the progress OF radicalism and turn
the tide into the old conservative chan
nels.

BUTLER AND GRANT.-At the Pitts
burg Convention Ben Butler was lion
lied, and the name of Grant was moi
mentioned. 1t is understood that Butler
had threatened, if Grant was made a
hero on this occasion, he would instantly
leave that Convention, as he did the
Charleston Convention after it refused
to nominate jeff. Davis, for whom he
voted sirty times. Butler can never
forgive Grant for saying that he (B. B.

The Signs GTOaC Brighter.

On Friday last, Genl. Tom Harris and
Hon. J. B. Blair had an appointment
to address the people of st. Mary's and
the surrounding country; and to keep
up the military reputation of the "Cap-
tain with his whiskers," the silver Cor
net Band was taken up from this City.
Well, the time arrived, and the band
played, and the speakers spoke, but the
people were not there! From more than
one of those who were present, we learn
that the crowd, all told, did not exceed,
by actual count, over sirty-one, includ-
ing the Band! And what is better,
still, there We're only some eighteen
men present who belonged to the Radi-
cal party! This is decidedly encourag-
ing One man to call upon Govern
or Boreman at Grafton, where he had
an appointment to speak. and only

ris and Hon. J. B. Blair!- Purkersdury

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,
has been pleased to vouchsafe us as a
people, another year of that national life
which is an indispensable condition of
peace, security and progress.
That yearhas, moreover been crowned
with many peculiar blessing. The civil
war that SO recently closed among us
has not been anywhere reopened. For
eign intervention has ceased to excite
alarm or apprehension.
Intrusive pestilence has been benign
ly mitigated, domestic tranquility has
improved, sentiments of Cancellation
have largely prevailed, and affections
of loyalty and patriotism have been
widely revived; our fields have yielded
quite abundantly, our mining industry
has been richly rewarded; and we have
been allowed to extend our railroad
system far into the interior recesses of
the country, while our commerce has
resumed its customary activity in for
eign seas. These great national bless
ings demand national acknowledge
ment. Fffs ff.-
'toW, therefore, I, Andrew johnson,
II, s;dent OF the United States, do here
by recommend that Thursday, the 10Th
day OF November next, be set apart and
DO ODoCl NON CNCl W HC1C III WIG oONVloi
States and Territories of the United
States, by the people thereof,as a day of
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God, with due remembrance that "in
His Temple doth every man speak Of
His honor.'
l recommend also, that on the solemn
occasion they do humbly and devoutly
implore Him to grant to our National
Councils, and to our whole people that
divine wisdom which alone can lead
any nation into the ways of all good.
In offering these national thanksgiv-
ings, praises and supplications we have
the Divine assurance that "the Lord re-
maineth a King forever. Them that
are meek shall He guide in judgment,
and such as are gentle shall He learn His
way. The Lord shall give strength to
His people, and the Lord shall give to
His people the blessing of peace"
In witness whereof hereunto set my
hand and cause the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
eigth day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1866, and of the independence of
the United States the ninety-frst.

Scenes in Xinnnn

Vienna Correspondent Cincinnati Commercial.
A few days ago l was at the DEPOT il
came the train, and on the platform
recognized the Archduke William, bis
head bandaged, but talking freely with
the Ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany. who had
gone to meet him. But there stood a
h~andbsrrow and a host of Imperial car
riers, surrounded by a crowd of aristo-
cratic ladies, awaiting, no doubt. the arri-
val OF a high, unfortunate officer. He
was carried down from the platform, half
fainting and still smiling to the symDa-
thizing crowd 1t was General Count
Festitis, one leg already amputated, the
other shattered topieces and awaiting am
putation. The people took off their hats.
not q whisper could be heard in the i'm
mense depot; only "God, bless him ~
sighed the people, when the barrow was
cautiously carried away, and Countesses
and Princesses, sheltering with their par-
asols the patient from the sun, formed the
eortegc.
Again came the carriers, bringing
another barrow, followedby Count Gr1n6'
the Adjutant of the Emperor. The pIat.
form is again lowered and with il Cen
ersl B-randenstein, who had already both
of his legs amputated. GrunH bows 70
kiss him. The poor cripple puts his arm
around the neck of his old comrade TO
embrace him n ee more; but. being too
weak, he sinks back, and stimulan.s have
to be used to revive him. The crowd is
in tears; Grunn gives the sign, and off
the carriers walk-a procession more i'm
than 3 funeral.

The Delegates at Large from Ghi TO
Ph~iladeIphia.

The delegates at large from the Union
party to the Philadelphia Convention arc
equally divided in political a~ntecedents,
Messrs. Ewing and Campbell having been
Wings, and Messrs. Steadman and Groes.
beck Democrats, before the war, Mr..
Ewing was born in 1889, and is now sew
enty-seven years old He was elected
United States Senator in 1881, serving IN
til 1881. He was a member of the Cabi-
nets of Harrison and Taylog-in the for.
mer as Secretary of the Treasury, in the
latter as Secretary of the Interior. In
both Cabinets he witnessed the sudden
death of the President, and the evil con-
sequences Of an accidental Presidency. In
both cases he was forced by the mistakes
of the succeeding Vice Presidents, Tyler
and Fillmore, to resign his Office. One
would have thought that he would have
learned from this experience to distrust
the third Of our accidental Presidents
Mr.. Ewing was appointed to the Senate
on leaving Mr.. Fillmore's Cabinet anC
served a brief time therein, since which
time he has been out of political life, new
er hsving had a hearty sympathy will
the Republican party. His home is Ian
caster.
Lewis D. Campbell is a Wing, Ere,
Soil and Republican politician, Of consid
cradle ability and eloquence, but.unreli
able and shifty. He has been severa
times a member of Congress, and was {
leading candidate for speaker in the
Thirty-F Fourth Congress, afterward with
drawing in favor of General Banks, who
was elected after n memorable contest
He was defeated for the next Congress by
Vallandigham, and has since been out o.
office until recently, when he received Mr.
Johnson's appointment as minister 20 the
Republic of Mexico. He lives in Hamil-
ton.
James B. Steodman was a Democrat
before the war and held the office of Pub
lie Printer under Buchanan's administra.
tion. lie went into the service as Colonel,
and rose to the rank Of Major General.
He was an unsuccessful candidate for the
Governorship, last fall. He has been
made prominent lately by his recent tour
through the South in the Presidents en-
ploy, engagedi in gathering and magnifying
all the ISLANDERS against the Freedmen's
Bureau which he could be pick mp. He
has recently been offered the position OF
but
has declined il, and is understood TO be
an aspirant for the War Department. He
lives in Toledo.
Col. W. S. Groesbeck, the fourth mem
Der of the delegation, was a Democrat,
and has a fair war record. He was 2
member of the Thirty-Fihh Congress, IS
a Democrat. His home is in Cincinnati.
The delegation consists of but n man
who before the war was an out-and-out
Republican. That man is Lewis D. Camp
bell. His turning his back on his old al
lies and friends is caused by the fact that
he is the Presidents appointee as Minister
u Mexico.

speech made by him in front of Bill
Shaw's saloon in 1868. 1t was at the
time of Lees invasion of Pennsylvania,
and just before the battle of Gettysburg,
when he tauntingly said:
"Where now is your shattered army ?
