county will have such an organization.
and keep it up all winter.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER.

The radicals are not noted for being pray.
ing men. Some of them prey upon their
neighbors-but few Of them pray to the liy.

how this wise:
"Oh, Lord, we thank thee that we are permit
tod to assemble here this day. We thank thee
for recent victories Of the republican party and
that good men are to be rewarded, &c. Amen"
Now, that was an orthodox radical prayer.
1t was brief but very expressive. 1t meant
all that it said, and more too. 1t reminds
US of the little girl, about four years Of age,
who had been taught by her mother to pray
for relief and dehverance when anything
troubled her. One day, her brother, who
was two or three years older than she was,
had provoked her almost beyond endurance,
when she quietly and coolly got down on
knees and prayed

and he steals, and he swears, as all the boys do.

A MAJORITY Prnsidnnt

II has sometimes been said that the republl-
cans have not elected their president by majority
votes. In 1850 Mr. Lincoln ran against three
competitors, and, although he had handsome
majority in the electoral college, he was Ia ami
nOrity OF the popular vote. In 1864, the alb
senco Of eleven states from participation in the
election gave sort Of preteKt for saying that
be was not then chosen by a majority Of the
people, although he had a vast majority of the
people who had legal right 10 vote, which is
all that can be asked for in any case. But even
this bubble cannot be raised against President
Grant (iorwe might as we'll get used to the title
lie has decided, noble majority Of all the yo.
ters in the Union, thus becoming the president
Of the people against whose will he has prom.
ised to have no policy --HaHaiJai Courier.
Notwithstanding the foregoing contains a
truth, it nevertheless involves a deception
When the Courier says General Grant re-
ceiyed "a majority Of all the votes in the
Union it states what is true and what is
not true. II il means that this "maiority"
consists Of those who had "a legal right to
VOTE according TO radical rule, then the
meaning is correct. If it means that Gen.
Grant received majority Of the votes Of all
the white men, native born and naturalized,
in the Union, above the age Of twenty.one
years, such, for instance, as are entitled 10
vote in any Of the leading and most popu.
lous states In the Union, then the statement
ls so monstrously untrue as TO be absurd
General Grant did not receive any such
vote. He is consequently not the choice of
"a vast majority Of the people," nor is he
the choice Of any majority whatever. He
is as much minority president elect as any
president who ever was elected Had all
the men in the Union, possessing such DUAL.
lhcatIOns as entitIc a citizen to vote in the
state Of Illinois, been permitted to vote. he
would have been defeated. He il. therefore.
as much minority president as was Mr..
Lincoln in 1860. II, however, he becomes,
rs he promised to become, the president of
the people, and shall have no policy as
president against the will Of the people,"
be can in no sense become the representa-.
tive of the radical party, nor can he adopt
Or carry out the radical policy. On the
contrary, his policy if his pledge contained
in the letter accepting the Chicago nom. |
nation is fairly carried out, will more nearly
approximate to that Of the democratic par.
y than to the republican policy, and can in
no sense approximate the policy of our |
Missouri radicals Should Gen. Grant
therefore,, mould his policy in accordance |
with "the will of the people" we shall have
no great fears of the future. Minority |
president as he will be, he cannot be the |
president Of the party casting majority OF |

jtituting q majority of the rightful voters OF |

SPIRITUALISM.
A Singular Affair in Dorchester, Mass.

From the Boston Herald.
There has been quite little sensation in
this usually quiet town the past two days
1t appears that about two or three years
since the spirtuaIist fever seized upon the
members of one of the families of the town,
including the daughter of widow, both the
widow and daughter entering into the new
religion with great ardor. The daughter
was married, and also the mother of two in.
terestiug children. The young man to whom
she was married, however, was not a convert
to :he new faith, and therein probably laid
the germ Of trouble, which developed in
difficulties between them at home 1t was
alleged at the time that the man was very
violent in temper, threatened the life Of his
wife and children, and gave other evidences
Of being of unsound mind. A consultation
of physicians was held, who came to the
conclusion that the husband was not in his
right mind and n warrant was accordingly
issued to place him in the Insane Asylum
at Worcester. He was, therefore, seized one
fine afternoon while at work on his farm,
and hustled off to Worcester.
If insane, he certainly had deal Of
method in his madness, for he escaped from
the asylum in about week after his incar
ceration, fleeing to New York, and thence
to relative in Newark, n j., where he has
remained until few days since, working
daily. Strange to say, not much effort was
made, SO far as Is known, by the officials to
recapture the fugitive, and there are great
many people in the town who doubt very
much that his reason ever left him. On
Monday morning, 70 the surprise of the
neighbors, bat more to the surprise of his
wife, he appeared to her in propria personp.
She refused to acknowledge his identity, as
he has been reported as among the things
that were for at least two years his "spirtn

he coolly sat down and desired to enter into

matters of equal interest. A deaf ear, how.
