NEW YORK.
The Democrats SURPRISED.

The Democrats Surprised.
New York, Nov. S.-Nol,ody is mors
surprised than the Democrats them
selves by their majority in this state.
Their own honest canvass did not por-
tend it. Evidently the floating voter,
who neither attend political meeting,
nor read political discussions, were
controlled by the idea that any change
of administration might better the harl
times.
The Herald's Opinion.
The Herald claims that the Presi.
Dental election is still in doubt, anil
says it may take the official count III
the state OF Florida and North Carolina
to settle the matter. 1t looks now a,
If Louisiana and South Carolina are
certainly Republican.
An On,inous Position.
New York, Nov. s.-A cable special
to the Herald says the Turkish fleet l.,
about to enter the Black Sea and will
take up position off Sciope and Tritl-
zon, both of which Black Sea port, !,
have been recently fortified. If thh,
occurs the history Of 1853 may be re-
peated, for it will be remembered that
It was of Sciope that the Turkish ves-
sells were destroyed by the Russian
feet under Hakhemeff, with loss to
the Turks of 1000 men. This act on the
part Of Russia made the Crimean war
inevitable. The arrival Of the Turkish
feet in the Black Sea may fire the mine
which all Europe is .shuddering to ses
explode.
Another special from the Herald's
correspondent at Vienna declares that
Servia has been rendered ten thousand
breech-loaders for her militia by the
Grand Duke Michael Constantine.
Where the men will be found who arc
to use these arms remains to be seen.
The theory in Vienna is that they must
come across the Russian frontier.

GHoULs AT WORK,
The Grars Of lincoln Dssecrats,

The Grare of Lincoln Desecrated.
Springfield, Nov. e.-A most das-
tardly attempt was made last night to
steal the bones of President Lincoln
from the cemetery vault here. The
plot was suspected some time since,
and. Elmer Washburn, U. S. Detective
Tyrrell and assistants watched the
vault. Last night the scoundrels broke
in the outer and inner doors of the
vault, opened the several cases Of the
sarcophagus, and were about to make
off'with the remains, when the detec-
tives sprang out. The occidental dis
charge of pistol alarmed the robbers
and they fled precipitately, escaping in
the darkness. A slight clue of their
identity remains, and their capture ID
probable.

Russia's Demand.

Brussels. Nov. s.-Russia insists on
an early conference of the Powers on

Constantinople, has been instructed to

Herzegovina and Bulgaria with effica-
cious guarantees under. control of the

A Promising Process.
London, Nov. 6.-The Leeds Mer-
curry says experiments are being made
with process for increasing the dura-
bility of iron rails which promises the
greatest success. An eminent railroad
official has asserted confidently that by
this process iron rails can be produced
which will be more durable than steel,
at an increase in cost of only five dollars
per ton over ordinary rails.

The Southwestern University.

In recent visit to GAINESVILLE, Tenn, we
were pleased to find about one hundred stu
dents upon the ground, of whom the profes
sors gave an excellent account. They appear
TO have been more thoroughly prepared than
usual to enter upon the curriculum of study.
The classes are more perfectly organized, and
the duties of the session have been begun
with more than ordinary pleasure and zeal
by faculty and students alike.
Considerable impulse has been given by
the presence of our excellent brother, DR..
Finn, who has thrown himself with great
vigor into the studies of his department, and
has made strong impression upon the
young men under his tuition. He is accept
ed, all round, as grand accession to the
corps of instructors; and there can be no
doubt, in the mind of those who know him
we'll, of his pleemineut fitness for academic
life. May he long be spared, as the pride
and boast of the institution by which he has
been acquired
DR.. Snearer has been thrown into the field
to raise the endowment, upon which the fur
Their development of the University depends
In the stringency of the times and general
encouragement of our people, it requires
uncommon bravery to undertake this work.
DR.. Shearer's heart is in this great enter
prise, beyond that of any other man amongst
US. All concede that he possesses the special
qualities to ensure success. We understand
that he made noble speech before the
Synod Of Nashville, and at once commenced
his labors as agent in Shelbyville, Tennessee,
where the Synod was convened. The result
of this effort has not yet been reported.
This University is simply necessity to
the Presbyterians of the Southwest, and
however slowly its endowment may proceed,
it must at length be accomplished. Let it
have o warm place, just now, in the hearts
and prayers of our whole peOple.-COr. S.

Harvest Home.

Thirty years ago missionary meetings ap'
pealed to our sympsthies rather than to our
hopes. The Macedonian cry, Come over and
help us, was one almost of despair. The ig-
norance, aud superstition, and barbarian,
and cruelty of heathenism were the themes
of the orators. Their eloquence consisted
in the vividness with which they were able
to portray illustrations of the saying, The
people that sat in great darkness; the rest
Of the text was as vt only prophecy.
But the meeting last week of the Ameri-
can Board was "harvest home }" They
that had sown in tears came rejoicing, bring
ing their sheaves with them. They were
only first fruits" it is true; but they were
enough to serve as an earnest of what is to
be. The gathering was jubilee. The songs
we're songs of giadness, and the prayers we're
praise. The spies that brought back reports
were all Cslebs we heard much of the grapes
and little of the giants. The tiuid and faint
hearted will do we'll to read their report
That We may stimulate them to do so, we
pluck few grapes of Eschol from their gath
cred punches of fruit and hang them here.
The entire number of Evangelical believ-
ing church members in this country is far
greater than the entire number in Christen-
dom in 1776.
The progress of missions in the last sew
enty years exceeds that of the first seventy
of the apostolic age
The number of church members in this
country has increased nearly three times as
fast as the population.
The educational statistics of Japan show
that she already has system which makes
her inferior in educational facilities to no
State in our country except Massachusetts,.
The Japanese Minister of Education at
tends the meeting of the Board, is intro
duced to the audience, and expresses the
hope that Japan will before long become
Christian nation.
And yet men talk of MISSIONS as failure
They are the success of the century.
But these are only the first fruits. Such
meetings as these of last week are but the
beginning. We could not but think of the
hour to which they pointed, when the Master
shall come, and the full loads of garnered
grain shall be brought home. We could not
but think of the hour when not merely a
single Turk and single Japanese should be
present as types, but when the unDumbered
thousands should be focking in from the
east and the west, and the north and the
south, from every tribe, and people, and
tongue, with songs of rejoicing. What then
of the Christian and the church that stakes
no interest in missions ?" 1t is only they
who 20 forth now to SOW in tears who will
share in the great harvest home when the
reapers return bringing their sheaves with
them.-Ch Union.
