D We have for MANY Years stu

V We have for many years stud
led the art of advertising, and still
it remains to us a marvel that there
is not one hundred times more of it.
We never yet knew a man to adver.
tiSe his wares literally and steadily,
that it did not pay. Yet there are
thousands Of manufacturers and tens
of thousands of men having articles
which they declare ought to be "in
every household in the country who
advertise as gingerly and closely as
though they had at heart no faith in
it at all. How can they expect to
get their goods everywhere, unless
some knowledge of the articles gets
into the family first, through the
family paperi If We waited till peo-
pie learned from their neighbors, we
might wait for years before the most
wonderful and useful inventions be.

TIE NEW YORK PRESS ON THE
ELHCTIONS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The TriJun.
says: "With three quarters of the
Republican journals published in
our city either neutral in the contest
or virtually telling their readers ii
would be better for the Republican
cause to have the Republican ticket
beaten this fall, we would hardly ex.
pect to hold our own in the State or
city. But the detection in both is
far greater than could with reason
have been expected. To let the cleo.
ton go by default, it was held and
argued by the trimmers and camp
followers, would crush what they are
pleased to stigmatize as Radical
ISM" and render inevitable the
nomination of Gen. Grant for Presi-
dent. Such considerations and cal
culations have kept fifty thousand
voters from the polls and insured the
overwhelming defeat Of our State
ticket"
Tn. Commercial Advertiser accuses
the managers of the Republican par.
ty with improvidently and thriftless-
ly scattering what cost so much care
and toll to save. But this defeat is
our winter of discomfort, and, under
better auspices, the approaching can.
vass will be made glorious summer.
Shaking itself free from incumbran-
ces, the Republican party, reorgan-
lied, reformed and purified, will as
sert its devotions to the Union, I'M
furl the Grant banner and fight out
the presidential campaign on this
line.
The World says; ain yesterdays
work the Empire State placed her
self at the head of the army Of Com
monwealths, whose mission is here
and now to stay the hands of the
architect of ruin whose mission will
be in the year, and in the contest
that are to come, to redeem and re-
store tile Union and establish peace
and representative selfgovernment
throughout all its borders.
The Herald says: New York, with
her large financial interest, declares
against the party of debt and taxa.
ton, and rebukes the attempt to
place the Southern States of the
Union under the heel Of African bar
barism.
The Times says: "On the State
ticket for Secretary Of State, the
vote of the State of New York yes
terday, went Democratic, by present
figures and estimate, ffom $4,000 to
%, 0OO"
The Post thinks this manifestation
of the people will be a mere passing
chastisement, intended to rebuke
their faults and bring them back to
moderation, common sense and poll
cy.

DEATH OF GEN. J. r. Fl. TAY

DEATH OF GEN. j. r. III. TAY
LoR.-Death is having a rich harvest
among our oldest and best citizens.
It often becomes our duty to an
nounce the death of a gentleman be-
loved for his nobleness Of character
and admired for his talent. Gen. J..
r. Il. Taylor, Of Holly Springs, died
yesterday evening at the residence Of
his father in this city, at O'Clock p.
M. We have not time on the present
occasion to do justice to the many
noble qualities which adorned the
life of the deceased. Gen. Taylor
was about fifty years of age. He has
been engaged in public life for near
thirty yesrs, and has filled nearly
every position within the gift of the
people. Memphis Avalanche.

TEE ELECTION.


Tuesday last passed off quietly, in

ed to dullness. The polls were kept
open from 10 o'clock till shutdown,
but not single Southern white man
approached them for the purpose o
voting. On their part the farce of an
election, as announced in the pro-
gramme, was ignored, utterly.
On Tuesday. however, the scene,
was quite changed. The freed
men the "newly enfranchised"--
came into town by squads, platoOns
and companies, so to speak, They
seemed to have due respect for the
day and the occasion. They were
rugged out in theic "stsre clothes ~"
dressed in their best bib and
tucker" They seemed to ENJOY
themselves hugely-a bright smile
lit up every dark countenance,-they
were glad, they were gay, they were
joyous, they were exuberant. They
were here long before the hour, and
seemed to wait impatiently fog the
opening of the polls. Trey evidently
felt their importance-that they were
"the sovereiSns the electors-the
first power in the State. They
crowded and monopolized the side
walks-it was difficult for the "poor
white trash" to thread their way
through the black mass-they throng-
ed ske streets-they embossed The
Courthouse square in black morocco
they illuminated the Courthouse
with living "cuts" Of Ethiopia-they
were
up and down, all around,
And danced the Jim Grow vota &"
1t would have been amusing, had
it not been too disgusting to every
