WHAT TT TEACHES.

Now that the election is over, the
smoke of battle cleared away, and
the disabled artilIers. md smalA
arms laid aside for two years
rest, we may look over 1heI
field and see whether free geyern%
ment and actuaI reform have suc-'
ceeded in holding their own
against discomfort, hard times, as
piring demagogues, and the innu-
merable army of "outs." We be-
lieYe It has. All things considered,
true Republicans may take fresh
courage. There were national and
state short-cOmingS 70 Be met and
sneoustefed. Thsre were wrongs
as well as errors TO be atOBed for in
loss OF majorities. The time has
come, happily, when the gross mis-
takes OF conventions will be cor
rected ct the polls. Our State tick
ct evidently Jared as well as it de-
served. The convention did not
seek nor pretend to nominate the
ablest or the best men 10 all cases
There, as elsewhere, combination
usurped the place of individual
strength, and while the result Il
depressing to lndlVidual VanIties, &
has neither disappointed nor sur
priSed any one.
We believe the Republican party
had never more positive and relia
BILE strength than it will have q
soon as the results of Novembe

TURE.
True Narrative.
NEAIRER ONE.

NUMBER ONE
In North Carolina lived slave |
mother whose children, all but the |
youngest, had been sold and taken |
from her. On a certain day she dis
covered that a stranger was buy
ing her last one. She took il up in
her arms and started with it for
Canada, and although it was in day
time she succeeded in getting away.
She travelled secretly, and slaves
helped her over the rivers. She
passed through parts of Virginia
and Kentucky, praying as she went
that the Lord would help her and
save her from her pursners. She
came 10 the Ohio river a few miles
above Cincinnati, went down the
river bank to see if she could find
the means of crossing over to Ohio,
and she was much frightened at see
ing there a white man. She
thought that she would be taken
and sent back to an enraged master,
and that all her travel was lost Ia
Dor. What moment of anguish
But ii was soon changed to JOY,
The man spoke 10 her, and kindly
said, "Do you want to cross the riv.
er?" She said she did. He put her
over the river. She believed that
| tho ord cant that unao .ho.o -
help her in her time of hazard and
distress. She took the road to Ken
ia, and found friends who conveyed
her to Sandusky, and she was pu
on boat going to Detroit. After
the boat was under way she me
her master who was in pursuit o
her. She now thought that all wa
lost. Her master went to bed ex
pecting to get her at Detroit. Sh'
presented her case to the captain o
the boat, and before morning he pu
her off on the Canada shore. How
joyful was the moment when sh
felt that she was among friends, ant
beyond the oppressor's power. L
the morning her eX-master wa
very angry when he found that hi
T game had escaped, and swore tina
, if he had seen her going elf the boa
he would have shot her; but tn
Lord had delivered her ont of hi
, hand.
r In view of this narrative we ma
? say, how strong is a mothers love
How wisely Il love been in
planted in the bosoms of mothers
;. And how necessary to secure tn
4 infant offspring from perishing
: In the heart of that fugitive moth'
. there was nobleness and perseVe
a ing fortitude. JOHN RANKIN.

Taylor, of the Wyandotte Ga
zette, opposed Cobb for personal
reasons. At the Democratic ju-
bilee Friday night, over Goodin's
election, they called Taylor out for
a speech, and he gave them red
hot Republican talk, and told them
that this was only a prelude to a
grand Republican victory in 1876.
1t will be sometime before they call
on Taylor again.

EDITOR OF News: With your
permission 1 will Diet of" a few
growls at some of the articles in
late numbers OF The News.
That article on Banks and
Banking by C. B. B. is q remarka-
BILE one. To think what simple
TONS" our banking men are, tax
ing all the trouble to organize as
'fNational Banks" when they
would have been as well of in pri-
vate banking. They must feel
bad since C. B. B. has shown them
show it is" Bet 'tgreat men differ -
for on reference to the report OF the
Comptroller Of the Currency (see
Messages and Documents 1869 20,
page 7S) we find the following
language used ga
bank with 100000 invested in
securities bearing 6 pc: cent. in
terest, upon which it has received
500, 600 in circulation, can lend thai
| $50, 900 at per cent. and yet real
ize a profit of $12, 800 on its CAPT
tai. The private banker lending
his capital directly, must charg'
IL per cent. to realize the SAM
profit as the bank" Seems to m
C. b. B. is trying hard (all through
his article) to make his reader
believe something he does not be

Proclamation Of Ihe Pres.
idenI.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 80, 1877

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 1874.
By the President Of the United
Statesof 1merica-4 PrOclamd-
tiOn:
We are reminded by the chang
ing seasons that it is time to pause
in our daily avocations and offer
thanks to Almighty God for the
mercies and abundance of the year
which is drawing to q close.
The blessings of free govern
ment continued to be vouchsafed
to us; the earth has responded to
the labor of the husbandmen; the
land has been free from pestilence;
internal order is being maintained,
and peace with other powers has
prevailed. 1t is fitting that at stat
ed periods we should cease from
our accustomed pursuits and from
the turmoil of our daily lives, and
unite in thankfulness for the bless
ings of the past, and in the cult
walton of kindly feelings toward
each other.
NOWs therefore, recognizing
these considerations, /, Ulysses S.
Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend To all citi-
zens to assemble in their respec-
tive places of worship on Thurs
day, the Goth day of next Novem-
Der, and express their thanks for
the mercy and favor of the Al
mighty God, and laying aside all
political contentious and all secu-
lar occupations, to observe such
day as day of rest, Thanksgiving
and prayer.
In witness whereof, l have
hereunto set my hand and seal,
and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washing
ton on this, the 9th day of Octo-
Der, in the year 1874, and OF. the In
dependence of the United States
the ninety eighth.

The Democrats have carried New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Tennessee and Illinois. Wis
cousin, Minnesota, Kansas, South |
Carolina, and Florida, are Republi-
can. Osborn has some fourteen
thousand majority; Lappin much
less all the rest OF the State ticket
about eighteen thousand. The Re-
publicans have q working majority
in the Kansas legislature. The de-
feat of Cobb in the second district
is the one trophy of "Reform."
We hope that the Republican
leaders will take home the lesson.
1t is useless to attribute our disas-
tersl to Democratic lies. If these
could beat US, the case is hopeless,
for they will tell twice as many
next time. We have suffered, not
because the people love Democracy
more, but Butlerism, back pay, Cas-
ey Simmons, and Third Term, less.
We have suffered because we de-
served to suffer. A party long In
power is sure to be infested with q
swarm of cormorants and frauds. II
is to be hoped that the true men,
who constitute the great mass OF
the Republican party, and who are
the only saving element of the ma.
tion, will now come TO the front
and that the schemers, dead-beats
and blood-suckers, will be sent tC
the rear.
AS to the triumphant Democracy
let no one expect that they have
sense enough to profit by their Veto
ty. With them 1t is simply qucs
ton of spoils. There is no real lif
in the dead carcass. They are hope
lessly joined TO their idols. The!
are acknowledging Bourbons, in
capable of organizing for the futnr,
any higher policy than that o
James Buchanan or PETROLEUM V
Nasty. There Is neither statesman
ship, moral worth, or politica
sense to be found in the rump O
the old Copperhead party. Their
will be q mighty and a final irrup
lion of the confederate cross-road
into the lower house of congress-
and that is all. These people ar
not able 10 conceive of any highe
platform of principles Than Gee
the offices, and d-n the Niger.
They cannot hold what they hav
won.
1t is for us to take home the lie;
son of the campaign. Many thoui
and conscientious men have thi
year, for the first time in their live
voted the Bourbon ticket, simply {
a rebuke to Republican selfishnei
and folly. Many thousand MOI
have scratched the ticket In fasl
ion that conveys a valuable lessor
1t is better than a sermon TO stud
this years election returns in gei
eral. The reign of straight tickle
and the sway of the party whip al
about over. Meanwhile, let l
cleanse our skirts, repent and d
the first works, and go on to Il
certain victory that awaits us
1876.

The Democrats always make
fools of themselves when they are
let loose. Instead of acting like
sensible men over their recent sue
cess, the worst fellows in the outfit
will do the loud barking. They al
ways did and always will make the
sentiment Of the party, and the re-
spectacle members have to stand it.
at the joiIiacation meeting at Tam
many Hall in New York City,
cheers were proposed for Henry A.
Wise, of Virginia. During the
evening ex-rebel Fellows made a
speech. Major Quincy, of the Sher-
iff's Office, declared that "the Demo
cratic victory would result in re-
moving the weights from off the
necks of our Southern brethren"
The weights on the necks OF our
Southern brethren are the civil
rights and the political rights OF
cOloEed men. Should the Demo
cratic party be relnstated IN power
the country will soon learn TO its
cost that the mission of that party
is to nullify the Thirteenth, Four
seenth, ana Fifteenth amendments
TO the Constitution, in order to
make way, not for the restoration
of slavery, perhaps, but for the pay
ment of the con1lscated Gotten
claims, payment for the liberated
slaves, the pensioning of the rebel
sOldiery, and other outrages which
we believe the country will never
submit to. We honestly believe
this to be their aim. Men who can
see 10 particular issue to divide the
people will wake from their
delusion before long, and Won
der how they could have been
90 befogged.
