THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.


Returns from the elections of last
Tuesday are meagre, but thep are suffi-
ciently decisive to indicate one thing-the
overwhelming defeat of the Republican
party. The result was brought about by
various causes, prominent among which
was Currency, Third Term, Ben Butler,
etc. 1t is impossible to arrive at any
conclusion in regard to the matter until
full returns are received We predict,
however, that il will not be found that
the Democratic vote has not increased,
but that through apathy-superindu
by the above causes-the Republican vote
has fallen off. We do not believe-and
we think the returns will show us to be
correct-that the people are any more
in love with the Democratic party or
principles than they have been at any
time in the past fifteen years. Disgust
ed they may be with reputed leaders of
the Republican party, but not with the
principles which have been advocated
by that party, and which, we do not
hesitate to affirm, must be kept in view
by any party which, for any consider
able length of time, retains the conf
dence and support of the people of this
country.
Indeed, the present defeat may be
justly regarded as an effort on the part
of the Republican party to purify itself
an operation which it is not strange
that the Democracy cannot understand,
as it is something unknown in the his
tory of that organization. We are not
in the least discouraged by the result,
nor do we anticipate any permanent
harm to the country from the present
success of reactionary party.

We last week sent out statements of
account on subscription to all subscribers
in arrears up to the 1st Of October. These
statements are.being daily responded to,
and we are greatly encouraged TO believe
that the beginning Of the year 1875 will
find the books of the old firm all squared
up by note or cash. This will be con
summation greatly to be desired, as it
will save us the expense and trouble of
calling upon subscribers personally. The
time thus saved will be devoted TO the
improvement of the paper, to which we
propose to give careful attention.
In the unavoidable hurry Of making
out statements considerable number Of
mistakes have undoubtedly occurred.
These will be carefully corrected.

THE DAY FOR THANKSGIVING.
By the President Of the United States of
AmeFicd.
! PROCLAMATION.

We are reminded by the changing
seasons that it is time to pause in our
daily vocations, and offer thanks to AL
mighty God for the mercies and abun-
dance of the year which is drawing to a
close.
The blessings OF free government con-
tinue to be vouchsafed to us; the earth
has responded to the labor of the hus-
bandman; the land has been free from
pestilence; internal order is being main
tained, and peace with other powers has
prevailed. 1t is fitting that at stated pc
riods we should cease from our pursuits
and from the turmoil of our daily lives,
and unite in thankfulness for the bless
ings of the past, and in the cultivation
of kindly feeling toward each other
Now, therefore, recognizing these con-
siderations, l, Ulysses s. Grant, Presi-
dent of the United States, do recon-
mend to all citizens to assemble in their
respective places of worship on Thurs
day, the 26th day of November next, and
express their thanks for the mercy and
favor of the Almighty God, and laying
aside all political contentious, and all
secular occupations, to observe such
day as day of praise.
In witness whereof, l have herewith
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed; done at the
City of Washington, this, the 9th day
of October, in the year 1874, and of the
Independence of the United States the
99th. rs. GRANT

The long winter evenings are upon US,
and as you draw around the family cir
Gle, safe from the storm without, you
want a copy of the JEFFERsoNIAN. 1t
will be a constant and faithful visitor
bringing you useful, entertaining and
instructive reading. 1t is strictly and
squarely temperance paper, and while
exercising charity for all, has no sympa-
thy for that class of men who persist in
gaining livelihood by destroying happy
homes and beggaring families. While
Republican in politics, we propose to be
S1ldependently so, ready to condemn
wrong-doing and corruption wherever it
may occur, and to give credit for official
fidelity and integrity wherever it may be
found.
We offer in another column to send
the JEFF. free for the remainder of the
year 1874, to ALL CASH SUBSCRIBERS
for 1875. - VIII all friends of the
paper call the attention of those who
are not subscribers, to this offer. We
want to commence 1875 with $500 sub
scribers. We offer no premiums, but
will make the paper well worth S2. 90 to
every subscriber. No family can afford
be without it. ~ If you have a friend
to whom you would make an acceptable
birthday, Christmas, or New Years gift,
order copy of the JEFF, which will be
sent sirty a0eeks for the low sum of Tt0o
Dollars iR ddCGnce.

Last Tuesday was a good day for
Democratic victories. From almost
every direction comes intelligence ol
Democratic gains. 1t is estimated, al
this time, that the Democrats gain SIX
United States Senators, and that there
will be a Democratic majority of thirty
in the next House.
Alabama reports Democratic gains in
all parts Of the State from which returns
have been received. There were several
riots in the State-the most serious one
at Eufala, where several were killed and
wounded. Arkansas, Delaware and
Georgia follow in the same wake, the
latter sending az undivided Democratic
delegation to Congress.
The matter of half dozen or so of
States are what remains 10 us after the
Democratic victories are counted, and
in these there is considerable loss in the
Republican Congressional delegations
Massachusetts, the ancient bulwark of
RepubIicanism, lowers her banner to the
foe and a Democratic Governor is elect
ed by a few thousand majority. Ben.
Butler is defeated by over a thousand
majority, and Banks, Independent is
elected by over ZOO.
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey, South Carolina,
Texas. Tennessee and Virginia, give in
their adhesion to the Democratic party,
and New York declares IN favor OF Ill
den and against Dix by thirty thousand
majority, and gives large Congressional
gains to the Democrats.
To sum it all up, the Republican party
has met the severesT reverse that has oc-
Cured in its history. We by no means
believe the disaster TO be irretrievable,
yet it will not do to ignore its lessons.
