Democratic papers all over the
Union claim the results Of the
late elections as Democratic victo-
ry. Before the elections they were
very humble, and proposed to give
"the people" and "the farmers" the
credit for anything that might be
accomplished against the Republican
party where that party was in the
ascendancy. They did not expect q
victory, and were willing that the
responsibility Of "A defeat should rest
upon any other shoulders than those
OF the Democracy. They were really
as much surprised as any Of the Re-
publicans at the results in Ohio and
Iowa; but now they want all the
credit. The leading Democratic pa
per Of New York, the World. Is one
of those who see only Democratic
gains and Democratic victory In the
returns from thess two StAtAs. IL

Thanksgiving tiOn,

To the People Of the State Of Ioua:
AS the President has designated
and set apart Thursday, the 27th Of
November, 1873, for the customary
ceremonies of thanksgiving and
praise, commencing to the people of
the whole country the duty of its OBJ
servance, | heartily second his rec
onImendation, and renew the same
to the people of Iowa. Our granaries
full to Overilowing; our general
healthlulness as a people and q State;
our comparative exemption from the
effects Of financial disaster; our
growing wealth as a community, and
our awakened thought upon ques-
tions which pertain to material prog
ress, leading to the development Of
our home resources; and above all I,
our advancement in the educational,
moral, and benevolent enterprises
which distinguish thisAge Of Chris
tian civfiiZatiOn, and which are an
earnest and prophecy of still great.
er increase and progress In the
future; all constitute subjects OF
thankfulness aud gratitude to Him
who is Lord over all.
And, while we are returning
thanks for the beneficence Of an over
ruling Providence in his dealings
with ourselves, we should remember
i'm our prayers, and by liberal contri-
buttons, those Of our neighbors, and
even of own people, whose homes
are fixed in localities wasted by
fires. ravaged by devouring insects,
scourged by tornadoes, or stricken
with pestience.

The southern Debt.
Time was, and it was but a lit

Time was, and It was but a little
while ago, that even hint OF the
Governmental assumption Of the
rebel debt was considered the most
absurd proposition that could be
made. But it Is now plain enough
that there are sundry people in the
Southern States who really cherish a
hope that the general Government
will one day pay the ex-slaveholders
or their representatives the sum Ot
$400, ,000, 900, the estimated value OF
the emancipated slaves, with interest
Mt the rate Of six per cent. per annum
from the date of their emancipation.
Senator Morton has stated in his
public speeches that prominent
citizen Of South Carolina, understood
to be Ex-Governor Aiken, told him
at West Point that he and his neigh
bors had made inventories of their
emancipated slaves, and that they
expected ultimately to be paid every
cent of their appraised value by the
general government. When Sena-
tor Morton made this statement
Democratic editors ridiculed him,
and some of them went 50 far rs to
accuse him of inventing the story.
What will these gentlemen now say,
since Mr.. r. NJ. 4. Hunter, Of Vir-
ginia, in recent speech to his neigh
bors at an Agricultural Fair at Win
chester, urged the justice of the
claim upon his hearers, and argued
that the United States should pay it.
1t is such talk rs this, as the ST. Lou
Is Democrat says, and the election OF
such incorieible old Bourbons rs Bill

,inuance Of the Republican party II

ignores tho "new party" and the
"farmers' movement: The new
party Of mo name" in Iowa had no
right to expect anything better than
that it w0dld be thus snubbed, in case
Of success. Last year the Democracy
crawled in. the dust behind the Lib
erals, andtendeavored by assisting
the new p@kty, to out vote the Re-
publicans. Failure followed, and
those Republicans, or Liberals, who
had allowed themselves to be used
in the interest of Democracy, and
we're permitted to take the lead in
the manag gement of the campaign,
and were Owen large share in the
chances for promotion, were cursed
after the election, and forced to bear
the blame Tor the failure. This year
the Democracy again gave up its
name in many places where it had
no hope Of success, except through
disaffection in the ranks of the oppo-
sition, aud condescended to push be-
hind the new party cart. But now,
since the results have been largely
against the Republicans, the Democ-
racy clairfall the credit, and are not
disposed t0allow the new party even
an existence in the future. The
Horid sasss:
1t is wSfthat the question is settled
SO early af5l so decisively. 1t will
now be easy for the Democratic party
to call in its stragglers. From this
time forward, there will be no
thought Of opposing the Administra-
tion through any other organization.
In the Democratic ranks there is an
end ,Of wagering. The Republican
enemies Of the Administration will
no longer hesitate in the hope OF a
new party. Hereafter every new
opponent Of Grant will be a new re-
cruit to the Democracy.

COllegl0ns In Congress.

The Nation has found, by inspec-
tion of the DIRECTORY" Of the last
Congress, that of 3i7 Senators and
Representatives. only about 81 were
graduates OF colleges. As to States,
"the most notable Is North Carolina,
for 6 of her nine members are college
men (which Is the highest proportion
to be found in Congress), and all OF
them are graduates OF the State Uni
versity. The three great States not
wIthstanding their wealth and the
numb Der OF their colleges, have about
one-fourth each; New York, 8 out
of33; Pennsylvania, Gout Of 70 Ohio,
8 out OF n; New England is not
much better, having less than half
and ten States, extending In age
from Maryland and Delaware to Tex.
as and Nevada, have not a single
graduate. As between the North
and South and the East and West,
not much can be said, for North Car
olina and Nebraska are the only
States which come up to the pro-
portion OF two-thirds."

Bret Harte's lecture at Des Moines
last week did him no credit il we
may Judge from the criticisms Of the
Register, which says: "We are con-
strained to say that Bret Harte as a
lecturer is dead failure"
Mr.. Hart lectured in Davenport
lately, upon the same subject, and
the Gazette says: "He tells a hu-
morous story just as he tells the
tale of a tragedy. In short, his man
ner is quiet-he allows the subjects
