THURSDAY, : : OCT. 12, 1865.

The Political Future. The rebellion is crushed—slavery is destroyed, and the people of all sections of the United States have consented to the existing state of affairs with an unanimity and cordiality which not only promises well for the internal peace and prosperity of the nation, but proves to the world at large that a government like ours is the best and strongest on earth.

The old issues which divided the people politically have been settled, and we must now consider and act with reference to the new questions which are coming up from the changed state of affairs in our country.

Prominent among these questions is the relation which the freedmen are to sustain towards the government.

True to his original democratic instincts President Johnson considers the question of negro suffrage as belonging to State policy and ought not to be made an issue in national politics. By correcting the manifest injustice and inequality in the ratio of representation in Congress which now includes indiscriminately all classes and colors, by basing the representation on the voting population the policy of leaving the question as to who may vote in each State to the citizens thereof is commended as a measure eminently just and proper. We know that there is no party at the North which will advocate the continuance of the unequal representation now in conformity to the Constitution --- and the remedy proposed has much to commend it to the cordial acceptance of the people.

The doctrine is that of true State rights and is in accordance with the declaration of the Democratic party from Jefferson onward. Yet we very much doubt whether any very considerable portion of those who opposed the election of Lincoln and Johnson can be induced to favor this amendment to the Constitution.

A small number of the supporters of Lincoln and Johnson will insist on negro suffrage as a pre-requisite to the full resumption of State powers and privileges by the States lately in rebellion. The majority, however, of the republican or Union party will accept the proposed amendment, and in this way try to divorce the question of negro suffrage from national politics. The democratic party on the other hand will be no less anxious to correct the inequality now existing, especially when this inequality is to be so seriously increased by the count of the freedmen entire, instead of three-fifths as when they were slaves.

A very small minority of the democratic party will insist on the "Constitution as it is," even with this now increased unjust ratio of representation. The majority of this party will probably favor the insertion of the word "white" in the actual enumeration of the people for the purposes of representation in Congress. We will then have parties arranged under these four divisions: First, the Radicals or unconditional negro suffrage advocates; second, the Fogy Democracy or "Constitution as it is" men; third, the Unionists or those who insist on equality of States by equality of votes in apportionment; fourth, the Democracy, or those who will confine the privileges of the elective franchise including also the basis of enumeration and apportionment to the white citizen of the United States. The first and second divisions will be very small, so that the two parties included under the third and fourth heads will be the real and active antagonists in our near political future.

At another time we will discuss the comparative merits of the two propositions. It becomes all true American citizens to consider and discuss these questions in that manner which will in the best way develop the best policy, and when once duty is made known to earnestly pursue it.

The Election.

At the election held in this county on Tuesday last, Samuel Marts, the Union candidate

for

County Commis-

sioner, was elected by 81 majority.— No other vacancy this year. In our next issue we will probably again pay our respects to the scavenger of the Review. His hireling sub rosa, of amalgamation proclivity, may also demand some attention.

The Election.

We see from the telegraphic news this morning, that the elections held on Tuesday resulted in the defeat of the copperhead party in all quarters. The Union party was triumphant in Ohio and Pennsylvania. We have carried Ohio by from 15,000 to 20,000, and have a decided majority in the Legislature. The Cincinnati Commercial says: "the aggregate vote in Ohio on Tuesday was not so large as in the exciting Gubernatorial election of 1863 and the Presidential election of 1864, and there is consequently a decline of the Union majorities. But in proportion to the Democratic vote there is no decline in the Union strength, save in a few exceptional places whero local influences have been felt."

The Union majority in old Pennsylvania is reported at about fifteen thousand.

The Big Show.

It will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, that VAN AMBURGH & CO.'s Mammoth Menagerie, the great moral exhibition and Egyptian Caravan, with colossal Golden Chariot, and the only living Giraffe on this continent, will exhibit in this city, on Saturday, October 21st, both in the afternoon and evening. This great and entirely new collection of animals we notice, were captured by, or under the immediate supervision and direction of the great showman, Van Amburgh himself. The original Lion tamer, Van Amburgh, will be present on day of exhibition. Let no one desiring to see this, the grandest collection of wild animals now on exhibition in the World, fail to be on hand. Remember the time, Saturday, October 21st, afternoon and night, on the Common, south part of the city.

New Clothing Store.

We wish to direct the attention of our readers, particularly of the country, to the new Clothing Store of Messrs. L. & M. Dessauer, just opened out in our midst, at Patterson's old stand, on Main street. They are agreeable, fair-dealing gentlemen, and keep a full and unsurpassed stock of Readymade Clothing, for men and boys, Gents' Furnishing Goods, Trunks, Carpet Bags, Valises, hats, caps, etc., etc., and are worthy of a liberal share of the public patronage. Call and see them at the stand above mentioned— one door west of the corner "book store."

No. 8, Commercial Block. The Dry-Goods department of the firm of Campbell, Galcy & Harter, we find in passing, is being filled to its utmost capacity with new and seasonable goods; any thing, every thing one may call for. Staple and fancy drygoods, hats, caps, boots, shoes, carpets, clothing, cassimeres, satinetts, tweeds, jeans, etc., etc. The ladies should not fail to call, and that early, and examine their mammoth stock of dress goods and fancy and mourning prints. This stock is certainly grand beyond description.. Read now advertisement, and then call and see for yourselves.

In the East.

Mr. H. RICE CANINE, successor to Canine & White, dealer in Hardware, iron, nails, and agricultural implements, is now in the eastern market, for the purpose of purchasing new goods. House-builders, farmers, and others in want of any thing in this line, cannot find a more complete stock at any house in the Wabash Valley, nor a more accommodating gentleman to deal with thau this self same Rice Canine. Call at the sign of the big Pad Lock, No. 3, Empire Block.

Big Coffee Pot.

The firm of Robb & Mahorney, dealers in stoves, tin-ware, queens-ware, and agricultural implements, in the McClelland Hall building, we notice, are now in the market with the stock of all stocks, every apartment filled to perfect fullness, and their run of trade certainly the most satisfactory. Zack is a number one salesman, and will do a driving business. Their new advertisement will appear in our next issue.

R. J. Vance, at No. 1 Commercial Row, has been receiving new goods for the Fall and Winter trade for a week past. His stock of cloths, cassimeres, satinetts, jeans, flannels, ladies' cloaks and cloak cloth, ladies' dress goods, boots, shoes, etc., etc., is among the best in the market. We would say to our readers give him a call. He is offering goods considerably below last Fall's prices.

Gone East.

Our friend David McClure, of the firm of McClure & Fry, started East for the purchase of a mammoth stock of staple and fancy dry goods for the fall and winter trade on Tuesday. This stock will be sent forward as fast as selected. Look out for their coming.

Hardware.

If you want bargains go to No. 2 Empire Block. This well-known Hardware house will hereafter be conducted by H. Rice Canine. Having purchased the entire stock, I will endeavor to keep as good goods and sell them as cheap for cash as any other house in the city. Please give me a call; you will always find in readiness to wait on you,

WILL BURBRIDGE

H. RICE CANINE.

Pottenger in the Market. Our old friend Harvey Pottenger, we see, has again opened out in the drygoods trade, at No. 4 Commercial Row. Mr. H. will keep a general stock, of all articles in the dry-goods line, and dispose of the same as low as the lowest, for cash or approved country produce. Give No. 4 a call, farmers, when in town, and examine new stock.— Read advertisement.

Persons wishing to purchase

dry-goods, should call at No. 6 Commercial Block. C. W. Eltzroth is now in the market with a new and superb stock.

Big Tea-Pot.

The Stove and Tin-ware house of Joslin & Beem, at No. 5 Commercial Block, is at this time filled to complete fullness with Cooking and Heating Stoves of the latest and most approved patterns. Call and see them.

The Solar Eclipse this Month. [From the New York Evening Post.] On Thursday morning, 19th inst., an annular eclipse of the sun will take place, partly visible in this city, and total in the latitude of Charleston.— The track of the central eclipse begins in Washington Territory, on Puget's Sound, and passes south-easterly thro' Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Southern Missouri, Western Tennessee, and diagonally through Georgia to Savannah, and thence across the Atlantic and into Africa. Some of the principal places in the United States where the eclipse will be annular are as follows

Kansas—Leavenworth, Lecompton, Lawrence, Atchison. Missouri—St. Louis, Jefferson City, St.

Joseph, Hannibal, Independence, New Madrid. Iowa—Council Bluffs.

Illinois—Cairo, Quincy, Metropolis, Centralia, Vandalia. Indiana—Rockport, Booneville, Evansville.

Kentucky—Paducah, Hardinsburg, Hickman. Alabama—Huntsville, Athens.

Georgia—Savannah, Augusta, Milledgeville, Athens, (University of Ga.) North Carolina—Franklin, Waynesville, Burnsville.

South Carolina—Charleston, Columbia, Orangeburg, Beaufort, Summerville, Port Royal, Georgetown, Hilton Head.

In this city the eclipse will begin at 8:55 A. M. and end 12:12 P. M., thus continuing for three hours and seventeen minutes. Seven and three quarter digits will be eclipsed here, the moon covering a little more than onehalf the sun's surface at the moment of greater obscuration.

The least duration of the total eclipse will be six and a half minutes, near Olympia, Washington Territory; the greatest, eight minutes and twenty seconds, near Charleston, S. C.

No other total eclipse of the sun will be visible in the United States until August, I869. In 1875 there will be another, and in the year 1900 regenerated Virginia will be left in total darkness for the limited period of two hours and thirty-seven minutes.

A New Planet Discovered. Observatory, Ann Arbor, Michigan, October 6, 11 o'clock P. M.—To the Associated Press: I have the pleasure to announce that I have discovered a new planet, at about ten and a half o'clock this evening. It shines like a star of the nine and a half magnitude, and is situated in the right ascention, fourteen degrees and forty-five minutes in declination, six degrees north. [Signed:] N. G. WATSON.

A Church in Springfield, Mass., advertises for members.. No more improper than was the reply of a church committee in a Connecticut town, who, when a very influential but irreligious man applied for membership, blandly assured him that the church was full.

Philosophy of Medicine. In the practice of medicine that treatment which assists nature, as it were, to take its course and throw off the disease, is universally conceded to be perfect and correct. On this principle the selection of ingredients was made in compounding Roback's Bitters, so that when a dose of this perfect medicinal beverage is taken into the stomach, its healthful action is felt through all the body's members.

These Bitters are the embodiment of all those properties, that medical science and research have discovered, beneficial in the gentle treatment of the sick, and as a preventive of disease, when used judiciously while the health remains unimpaired. lm-oct

A Card to Invalids.

A clergyman, while residing in South America, as a missionary, discovered a safe and simple remedy for the cure of Nervous Weakness, Early Decay, Diseases of the Urinary and Seminal Organs, and the whole train of disorders brought on by baneful and vicious habits. Great numbers have been already cured by this noble remedy. Prompted by a desire to benefit the afflicted and unfortunate, I will send the recipe for preparing and using this medicine, in a sealed envelope, to any one who needs it, Free of Charge.

Please inclose a post-paid envelope, addressed to yourself. Add ress,

A VOICE FROM VICKSBURG. VICKSBURG, Miss., Aug. 9, 1863. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I am happy to state to you that I have used your valuable Cedron Bitters with great benefit to myself, in general debility and prostration of my system produced by the unhealthy and miasmatic influence of the Mississippi river around Vicksburg, having been with Gen. Grant's army through its whole southern campaign. I confidently recommend its use to all persons who are exposed to unhealthy climates. H. W. FO

GLE,

Agent U. S. Sanitary Commission.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 16, 1863.

On the 23d of July last, I submitted, through an agent of mine, to the Medical Director of the Department of the Army of the Cumberland, a sample of my Cedron Bitters, for inspection, and requested if, after analysis, he found it meritorious, to sanction and approve its use among our soldiers. The following is the Medical Director's reply, and also Gen. Rosecrans' permission to ship 300 dozen at once, to have it sold to sutlers.

JOHN BULL.

I am satisfied that Cedron Bitters will do no harm to any one if taken properly and in moderation. I see no objection to Dr. Bull's being permitted to dispose of it to sutlers.

OBITUARY.

Mrs.

JANE

D., wife of

JAMES

AN,

died at

the family residence, in this city, on Thursday the 28th ult., after a protracted illness. Her maiden name was Henderson;was born in Dayton, O., in the year 1818, and was therefore 48 years of age. She was joined in marriage to her now bereaved husband in her native city on the 1st day of October, 1835.. Two sons were the issue of this marriage, both of whom survive her.

Mrs. S. had been a patient sufferer for 30 years, always gentle, loving and kind; she was confined to her room since April last, during which time she gave to her pastor and friends the most satisfactory assurances of the maturity of the christian graces. When inquired of as to her preparation for the change, evidently so near, she remarked, "I have been disciplining myself for this a long time; I am ready;" and just before she crossed the stream, "All is clear;" and much more testimony did she give of the power of grace in the dying hour. Her piety was of the quiet, unobtrusive type. She had for many years been a consistent member of the M. E. Church.

All that conjugal and filial affection, together with medical skill could do, was done; but the destroyer was inexorable. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." L. N.

Collection of Animals that were captured by or under the immediate supervision and direction of the great Van Amburgh Himself And are the products of an expedition to The Icy Regions of the North Pole,

The Pampas of South America, Deserts of Africa, And the Jungles of Asia. All of which were caused to contribute the choicest specimen of Animated Nature to be found within their respective realms. They arrived in N. Y. late in the Fall of 1863, where an unparalleled and most triumphant success awaited them. Flushed with new laurels of success, a travelling paraphanalia was designed of the most transcendant magnificence possible to conceive which through their immense resources, sprang into existence as if by magic, Cages of the most gorgeous description; Wagons of the most costl character; Harness of surpassing beauty and elegance; Horses of the best Arabian blood; Mammoth variegated Canvass of immense proportion; And an entire retinue of uneqalled excellence are here to be seen.

Human intellect could not in its grandest moment of conception originate any thing more grand and dazzling to behold. The veritable Van Amburgh, (whom envious persons from his long absence from America have taken ad vantage, and caused the press to announce his decease,) will accompany the exhibition and head the TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION on its entrance to the place of exhibition which will represent in oriental splendor

TO THE PUBLIC.

HAVING

failed to sell my property, as desired, I again present myself at the old business of PUMP MAKING, at the old stand on Washington street, Crawfordsville, and respectfully solicit a liberal share of the public patronage.

I have on hand a large lot of the best Poplar Lumber for top stocks, the suck of which is completely surrounded by the most approved and durable timber, namely, hickory of iron wood; and am using invariably what the farmers term Bail Box. With an experience of 20 years, I know, and the farmers generally know, that the old style heavy Pump is superior to all others. All who have tried it must also agree that a Pump made so that the suck can be removed, if need be, without taking from the well the entire pump, is preferable. Others may gas and blow as they may, this community know by sad experience, that the little delicate Pump sold through the country by peddlers won't pay.

My Pumps are of too great weight to be sold in this way; and we respectfully ask those in want of something substantial to call at our shop. We will be pleased to accommodate you with anything in our line and on the most favorable terms. When you buy Pumps of me, you know where to go when you need repairs made; or where you get the use of the proper tools to make your own repairs, free of charge.
