The New YORK Pageant.

A SPLENDID REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATION

Special Dispatch to the Philada. Times.
New YORK, November 3.-The Republic
cans had their grandest pageant of the cam
vass here this evening. The procession
was composed of Hayes and Wheeler clubs
from New York, with a sprinkling from
Brooklyn and Jersey City 1t was mag
,nifcent spectacle. None but full-grown
lAGnen we've IN the line, and it moved with a
precision and a dignity that was impreasiy
There were many colored clubs, arfd fine
display was made by citizens without
uniform who helped to swell the num-
bers The parade was up Fifth avenue,
from Madison square to Fifty second
street; thence to Sixth avenue and down to
Twenty second street, to Third avenue, and
on the East Side. The head of the process
sion on reaching Twenty second street and
Madison square, where it intersected its
upward march, just grszed the foot OF the
procession going up Fifth avenue, The
head and the foot coming together thus
showed that the line was sixty one blocks
long. 1t is estimated that there were thlr
ty thousand persons in the parade, There
was much enthusiasm along the line of
march, Governor Morgan reviewed the
parade.

THE DU soMMERARD LIBEL.
AS might have been expected the extra
ordinary letter published in the Paris
Fiqdro containing all manner OF hbels
upon the Centennial Commission, and
American women, and processing to have
been written by nj. Du Sommerard, the
chief of the French Commission, turns
out to be a forgery. Du Sommerard writes
that it is apochryphal, and that he formally
disavows it. Undoubtedly, however, Things
have been in hot water in the French Sec
ton from some cause, and there has been
good deal of indiscretion. But the out
rageous things alleged to have been said by
the French Commissioner are shown to
have been libels.
DEATH OF WILLIAM wHEATLEY,
The news is received. this evening, of the
death, in New York, of William Wheatley,
the commedian, at the age Of 60. Not many
announcements Of the kind could have a
more sad interest for Philadelphians, for
the most important, if not the most profit
able years OF Mr.. Wheatleys career were
spent in this city. He was one of the most
genuine comedians of our day, and in many
characters, such as "Rover, "Vapid," in
The Dranaatist, &c, has left no successor.

An interesting letter from Aiken s. @. to
the Cincinnati Gazette contains these para.
graphs 3
Two facts, however. are now abundantly
proved. The first is, that clear majority
of the Democrats of South Carolina origi
nally opposed the /" Mississippi plan, but
were overborne by the vehemence of hot
headed men in these three counties-Edge-
field, Barnwell, and Aiken-aided by the
raiders from Georgia.
1t ought to be noted, too, that in more
than half the State outside of these coun-
ties the two races are still at tolerable
peace with each other; that residents of
those sections, and correspondents who
visit them, can have little or no conception
of the actual outrages, and may be perfect
ly honest in denying the existence of any
such. The second fact of Importance, con-
cededby all, lis that only few months ago the
Democracy of this State were highly pleased
with Gov. Chamberlain's Administration
and almost a majority were in favor of his
re election. But for the impulse commune
Gated from Georgia and the Northern DEM
ocracy, the best portion OF both races would
have united on reform ticket which would
have swept the State, and there would have
been perfect peace to-day. The Democrat
ic necessity of ''solid South" has worked
great evil to South Carolina.

what Edmund Anderson Says.

w hat be
TO the Editor of the Commercial;
AS the time is drawing near when the
great contest will be decided, think d few
words TO the Republicans will be advisable.
l cannot think of doing anything but voting
in the manner that have always voted
viz, the straight out Republican ticket. My
reason is, as previously expressed, that
party hath done for my race what the DEM
ocrats have always strenuously opposed,
and never will do anything else, only when
compelled by the strong arm OF the Govern
ment. Give them that power, and you can
imagine the result. The future can only
be Judged fairly by the past. When men
who can grow to wealth by the toll of the
slave, and their progeny have been favored
to get and remain in the Congress of this
nation, and they tell you plainly In public
speeches that this is white mans govern
ment, and they ''don't want the nigger,"
although ''the Niger" did not Of
his own accord come here, being brought
and treated like he hath been, after he hath
undergone everything that the white man
hath for the making and upholding this ma
ton to it's present growth, either directly or
indirectly then to be cursed at by men in
public, by men who if they had been left
in some of he States like the slaves we're
during the Rebellion when the inhabitants
had to fee for their acts, 1 query whether
the return of those that had fled would
have found all things like they were found
when left to the mercy of the slaves.
now call on all Republicans to stand firm
Vote the whole ticket ! l, for my part. can
not see for why anything else can be done
in Justice to ourselves, and those that have
and are still doing all they can for us. Only
back them by your votes next Tuesday.

Correspondence of the Commercial,
CoUNo1L BLUFFS, Ia, Oct. 30.-I had the
pleasure OF visiting the Iowa Industrial Ex-
position on the 26th, at Des Moines, the
Capital of the State, thriving inland city
of 90 900 inhabitants. Through the kind
ness of the Secretary, L. NJ. Sanford Esq,
1 was shown through the Exposition which
will compare favorably with anything of
the kind have seen, excepting the Cen
tennial.) Goods and wares are exhibited
from all parts of the State, and all are wor-
thy of special mention. I send you cats-
logue of the enterprise, which trust will
interest you.
Politics seem to be one sided in this sec.
tion of country and throughout this State,
everybody being for Hayes and Wheeler,
have met with number of the ''green-
back persuasion. believe Genl. s. f,

Fashion Notes.

Advices from abroad speak of the
rapid growth in popular favor of the Ca
pote bonnet. For full dress, for the
theater and opera, these bonnets are
worn almost to the exclusion of other
shapes. The capote is simple to the ex-
treme; it resembles the little cap worn
by children, around which a ribbon is
tied, and which confines the full crown
and the ruffle forming the front and
back. White plush is used; and all
white materials, uncut velvet and satin
included, have the preference. Ecru
comes next; then the softer tints of col
ors. As white now must be ivory white
or inclining to the yellow tint to be
fashionable, cashmere lace is the favor
ite trimming for these hats; feathers and
flowers, which are used sparingly on
them, also partake of the ivory-white
tint. A humming bird or small bright
wing are also allowed. But simplicity
is the charm of the new style. Shapes
differ, of course, in the capote as in
everything else; the shape described
above resembles the Marie Antoinette
cap, with its deep ruffle of lace falling
on the hair and around the head, being
little longer in the back, where it as
sumes the shape of cape. The shape
most in use for satin and plush has a
shirred border, lined with satin or silk,
contrasting in color; the lining being
most conspicuous should be selected for
its becomingness, as the cold shades of
white are not adapted to all complex
ions. When the brim is not shirred it
is put on in fiat plaitings; but in all
cases the crown is soft and full, and a
ribbon encircles it, having its bow tied
either on one side, at the top. or at the
back, to suit the style or wish of the
wearer.
Felt hats are, of course, still very
popular for street wear, as the capote is
yet in its infancy. The severe winter
abroad, which has brought fur cloake
into fashion, has also given to felt and
beaver hats trimmings of fur. There is
peculiar shape, resembling the hats
worn by the old French army, three,
cornered affair, which allows of fun
border, and which has been very popu-
lar. a-t ..st .tt

A Montreal Romance.

The McKenzie-Brydges elopement
seems to have more of romance than
scandal in it. Mrs. Mckenzie is still q
young woman although the mother of
four children. Mr.. Bridges, senior,
says: All this trouble is the result of
foolish escapade by two young persons
who are in love with each other. I am
sorry that so much has been said about
it, for the couple cannotbe charged with
criuinality. They behaved toward each
other with perfect propriety, never regis
tering as husband and wife, and always
occupying separate rooms wherever they
stopped. They had determined to break
off the connection between Mrs. Nc
Kenzie and her husband in order that
they might marry, and they thought it
would be necessary to go through the
form of an elopement to secure such a
separation. They did not intend to
evade pursuit, and Mrs. Mckenzie tele-
graphed for her parents to meet her in
Philadelphia. Mrs. Mckenzie is per-
fectly pure and blameless woman. On
account of incompatibility of temper
she was unhappy with her husband, and
she thought she could not live with him.
If she and Mr.. Brydges had made
known their wishes the elopement might
have been avoided. She will live with
her parents until the divorce can be OBJ
tanned, and meanwhile Mr.. Bridges will
remain at Phenixville, where he now
is, and completehis engineering studies.
We have communicated with him and
the matter is now adjusted. I am sure
that the newspapers will not wish to say
anything injurious of Mrs. Mckenzie
when they know the facts as have
stated them, for her family stands very
high, and her own character is ire
proachable.

ShOrthOrn Cattle.

The London Pail Mall Gazette says
Shorthorn sales are becoming almost as
sensational" as those of thoroughbred
yearlings were short time stree, and it
is no uncommon thing for an animal of
the Bates or Book blood, each of
which strains hasits respective admirers
and even champions, to be sold for a
price equal to that which a Derby win
ner would have realized few years ago.
From comparative tables of the results
of these sales during the past year in
Great Britain and America, which are
published in the almanac of the Agri-
cultural Gazette, it appears that the
total amounts realized at these sales
were almost the same for both countries.
The returns refer only to the sales of
"pedigree shorthorns that is to say,
of animals inscribed in the "Herd
Book" which is for cattle what the
Stud Book is for the turf; and from
them we learn that, while the sixty-fve
sales held in Great Britain yielded
total of s228, ,OS8 los. 3d., the fifty-seven
sales in America amounted to 9204, 100
6s. 10d. Each of the American sales
amounted, upon an average, to e3,599.
as against 93,509 for each of the Eng
lish sales; but the advantage does not in
reality remain with the American breed
ers, for though eight fewer sales were
held there the number of animals dis
posed of was within ten of those sold at
home. The 1859 shorthorns sold in
America averaged e79 each, and the
1859 sold in Great Britain EST each.
The largest total realized at any one sale
was G42, 919 16s., for which eighty-four
animals belonging to the late Mr.. Torr,
Lincolnshire farmer, were disposed of
in September. The highest price given
at this sale was 2, 160 guineas, and the
average for the whole lot was e510 los.
Still more remarkable was sale held in
Scotland week previously when thirty
nine animals, the property of Lord
5-AOy AAO IOSs IIllS
gives an average of 9672 IS. for each
animal, one of which went for $500
guineas. At third sale thirty-four
animals fetched more than 100000, and
several others took place at which the
total was over $1,000 and the average
over G200. The most successful sale
held in America was that at which
eighty-three shorthorns fetched els, ,534
lbs. 3D.. with an average of 94O2 los. 3d.
for the whole number, one of them
reaching e3,225. At two other sales in
America totals of rather moro thar
G10,00 were obtained for thirty. five and
for thirtythree lots, the average in the
two cases being slightly over and under
9300. These figures may be left to
speak for themselves, but it is impossi-
BILE to avoid the suspicion that pur-
chasers will not in the long run get the
best of the bargains.
