Presidential election it is good to look over the tables of votes cast in the cities of the Uuioi. It is not on exact test of their relative population, but it shows their compipative growth. Boston has a population, with its recent extension in the annexation of Roxbury, nearly as large as Chicago; yet it polled 12,000 less votes, because a man must read and write before he vote in Boston; that large foreign population. Clevelanc polled more votes than Milwaukee, be cause she has a larger American population who do not require to be naturalize in order to vote, as is required of foreign ers who congregate in Milwaukee. Louis ville has a population of 120,000, yet she polls 1,000 less votes than Milwaukee.

The cause of this diminished popu lotion, is that the colored people, who num ber in Louisville from 12,000 to 20,000, have no votes at oil. Cincinnati polls more Totes than Si, Louis, but we do not think she has BO large a population. There are ot least 10,000 more colored people in St. Louis than in Cincinnati, and that population does not appear in the vote. The following table will prove an interesting study CiticB.

The question of making produce shipments by river is being actively discussed by leading journals of the Mississippi Valley, and practically tested by business men. It is claimed that this outlet is cheaper than the railroad, and the shipments from St.

Louis, made by this route, prove this fact to be true. When the Upper Mississippi river navigation iioprovements are completed, grain can be shipped from Davenport, Dubuque and St. Paul, to New York at a much cheaper rate than at present. Further, in the same connection, the prospect of shipping clew through to Liverpool, has been suggested, and it is not unreasonable to calculate upon the Mississippi valley doing her own exporting and importing, for if she can send the freight through to New York by boat, cheaper than by rail, why not nil the way to Liverpool St. Louis has undertaken to prove thih reduction of expense in the transportation of the produce of the western farmer, by the construction of barges suitable to carry freight from St.

Louis to New York via Gulf of Mexico. PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF THE PRINCE OF Prince of Wales -was never a very handsome man, but tinder dissipation his face has grown coarse and repulsive. His appearance is thus described, and inasmuch as he is only seven and twenty he does not appear us lovable as a young man Of his years and his position should be: He is a fat, heavy, loutish young man; grow- every duy more und more or tho regular Brunswick mould and feature. Ho is deeply In debt. He iu not over attentive to his wife --the one member of the family who ie really popular; ho has low and vulgar tustea.

He has a tainted reputation. Scandal pursued him irom London to Pirns and from Paris to Berlin, back ngain. Ho delighU in) low comic actors and utill comic singers. When he goes to the opera he soon lulls asleep; unless, indeed, when Pauline Lucca is then he is all ears and eyes. Hiou RATE ron MONET.

-The usance for money during the past week in New York, has been among vci spotted figures. The New York Post says that on the panic, Friday tho 6th, good houses paid rates varying Irom one hundred to two hundred ond twenty-five per cent. It thus explains how euch enormous usance was charged The rotes of interest obtained by private hinders yesterday were quite beyond precedent. At one time a difference of five- eighths per cent, was mode upon stocks worth about par foi; postponing payment one day; representing the rate of two hundred ond twenty-five per cent, per annum. Houses in good standing freely paid one-quarter per cent, commission for loans for one day, or at the rate of one hundred per cent, per annum.

WHO is JOHN British journals hove had a good deal to say about John Brown, tho favorite body-servant of Queen Victoria. A correspondent thus describes this notable personage: In her personal service, her most constant and close attendant ie Scotch groom, or gillie, named John Brown. He rides on the box of bor carriage, he hands her in, he hands her out, he clcmke her, shawls her, opoDB doors for her, is always near Popular rumor avers that he sleepe on a rnp outside her bedroom thin certainly is not his habit, it is beyond doubt thai, he hos done so occasionally, while the Queen was traveling. Queen Victoria is said to be BO much attached to John Brown, because he was favorite of her husband, Prince Albert, whom Victoria loved as ardently as -woman ever loved man.

Owing in part to causes incident to th crisis of an all-absorbing political cam paign, the movements of produce durin the post week hove been unusually lighi the receipts of wheat amounting to onl 295,000 bushels, and shipments to 292 956 bushels. Compared with the corresponding week in 1867 the showing is a follows: 1868. 1867.

Rec'd Sliip'd Rec'd Slap' Flour 13,481 40,821 22,722 28,654 Wheat 259,000 292,956 443,200 450,22 Data 18,534 6,651 34,530 68,75 irn 6,486 1,275 20,108 4,07 I 16,260 5,847 barley 10,578 2,670 4,466 The large deficiencies shown by the above table, as remarked before, are to some extent due to the excited politico events that hove occupied tho people dur ing the closing week of the campaign, bu the major cause must be looked for in low them by bard toil. Under the prices and the feeble and declining condition of the markets. At current prices farmers will withhold their grain from market as long as possible, and let their debts go unpaid. The consequence is country merchants are unable to promptly meet their obligations, or to purchase their usual fall stock, and the result is observable in the general dullness of nearly all branches of trade. We have been told by dealers of a long business experience in this city, that they iiad never known so dull a season as that of the past two months.

As low as prices liave ruled since harvest, grain dealers have Liad anything but a prosperous Except the gambling and scalping froterni- whose stock in trade consists simply in nominal commodities, and whose transae- jpns could be carried on quite as well if here was not a bushel of grain in the mar- cet, the business of handling wheat for egitimnte purposes has been a losing one, instanced in the heavy losses and recent ailures. The markets "during the week were irregular and unsettled. Wheat opened on ilonday at S1.25J for No. 1, advanced to 31.30 on Wednesday, fell to S1.22 on Friday, but again rallied, under the influence of advance iu gold, and closed on Satur- $1.26. But little was done in coarse jroins, and prices were unsettled ond veok, closing at a decline from the previ- ins week.

EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA. The severest earthquake ever known on he Pacific coast, occurred early on the morning of tne 21st of October. The hock at San Francisco was severe. In he business portion of the city the sidewalks were covered with piles of brick and buildings cracked from cellar to oof splendid plate glass windows shivered into a thousand pieces, and some ouses in course of construction were lev- lied to the earth. A few people were kill- id or wounded bj the falling walls, others Fere injured by their frantic efforts to get of the buildings.

During the entire veek slight shocks were felt, but none violent as on the first i'he losses, although great, are not as ex- as at first supposed. There were a great many buildings injured, but they vere mostly those that were defective in onstruction, or built on made ground; trongly built houses -were not materially njured. The printing offices suffered everely, the types and forms were scattered about, and no little trouble was experienced to work off the owing to the above fact, and the fears of the men to enter the buildings. The shocks of 1865 were perpendicular in their oscillation, while these recent ones were horizontal. The effects of the two were quite different.

In 18G5 glass was broken and shivered to atoms, while comparatively few walls were shaken down or badly injured. The late shocks, however, broke very little glass, but shook off cornices, plasterings, It is not improbable that earthquakes may occnr at any moment in the neighborhood of San Francisco. There are volcanoes north, south and east, and although not iu the immediate vicinity of the city still it is iu a great centre of a volcanic range, and subject to its influence. INTELLIGENCE OF THE ENFEANCHISED COL- OBED MEN. We hear fiom' various persons who have been residing in the southern States, that in their experience they find the negroes as intelligent and as quick to learn as the so-called poor whites.

A correspondent relates the following anecdote of an uneducated negro whom he met at Nashville, and who like his brethren, has picked up some knowledge of political affairs, not from books, but from daily observation. In Nashville, while standing in the throng clustered at the depot awaiting the hour for the departure of the train, I asked a negro whether he intended to vote for Grant and Colfax. "Dunno 1 Massa; 'spec's I can't tell yit" "But don't you know whom you would like to have for President "Well, I dunno'," was his answer, and he was apparently non-committal. But a few moments afterwards while I was attending to the checking of my baggage, there being no listeners about, the man approached and asked if I were from the North. Receiving an affirmative response, he remarked: "Well, I am fo' Grant, an' I want to see him elected.

Oullud man knows who's his frien'. We don't b'lieve in makin' a big stir, bnt we's not such fools as not to know who's going to protect the cullnd men, and who wants to put their foot on him again." "But don't your old master, when he pays you for your labor, tell you to vote for Seymour?" das' so. Bnt de negro earns his money on' mo'. An' de money what he gits don't go for to buy his vote. Dis chile wotes fo' Grant, kase if it hadn't been fo' Grant he might be a trampin' to de slave market now.

Daf de way de cnllud people of de Souf look on dis ting." The man could neither read nor write, bnt he stated that he. had been diligently at work since the war, ond had saved np some four or five hundred dollars, with which he intended to purchase soon some land for himself. Ho spoke of several of his race who had already done this, and they were prospering. STATE AND NATIONAL We have had a little monetary panic in Milwaukee, iin which the banks with small capital, organized under our State system, havs closed their doors to the sorrow of many honest and poor depositers. The National Bonks were not shaken, and the working people who have deposited their money in those institutions feel that they passed the crisis without the loss of their hard won earnings.

It will be remembered that during the recent Presidential canvass the Daily News, backed by its partisans, has been making the most rargent appeals for the destruction of our National Bonks and the substitution of the old State Bank system. Workingmen in every calling will soon understand that the democratic party is not friend; that it advocates measures which would eat up their earnings after they have B. E. It is observable that their was scarcely a stock on the whole list during the severe panic of last week, which was so firm as Erie E. stock.

It was maintained even more firmly than government bonds. What is the solution of this mystery. First, because it was little dealt in; and secondly, because the clique who bought it at .38 and 39, are determined to hold it there until they unload. After that is effected they -will not care if it drops to 25. The purchase of Pike's Opera House by the company is not calculated to give it more credit either at home or abroad.

WISCONSIN STATE BAKE. Wm. Pitt Lynde, an honest man, has been appointed assignee of this defunct institution. State Banking system such a panic as raged in New York during the past week would have destroyed scores of banks throughout the western states, and ruined thousands of laboring men. Yet during this severe crisis, not a National Bank has throughout the West, the South or the East, ond the currency which they issued would buy more commodities on the day on which the panic was the most' destructive.

This is an unheard of event in our financial history, and shows how solid and stable is the national currency, founded on national bonds. Workingmen do you desire a change. A BAD GOVERNMENT. To meet this condition of pay continually with no corresponding a burdensome drain on every class of our Daily JTeirs, October 8th. The News in the above sentence, many will think correctly describes our democrat- city goverment.

Any person who passes down East. Water street con discover a hole the pavement of that most frequented all our city thoroughfares, dangerous alike to man and beast, and disgrace- ul to the good appearance of our Phot hole has been a visible nuisance for week. We agree with, the News, "to pay axes continually, with no corresponding eturn is a burdensome drain on every class jf our people." THE NEW YOEK MONET MAEKET to-day must be considerably easier, as there is a arge advance in government bonds and ailway stocks. Northwestern preferred los risen to 81J, and this shows that the eaction has been very decided since the core has passed. The New York Sun thus describes the ludicrous fright of Wall treet during the panic of Friday: 'The panic which has pervaded Wall treet for the past week culminated to-day a general break of stocks hitherto among he favorites of the list.

Milwaukee and 3t. Paul, and Chicago and Northwestern laving been manipulated from S35 per hare to the operators rich, and distributing large profits to the cliques to give way early last week, notwithstanding the rose-colored promises of arge future dividends. The decline of the 5t. Paul stock 10 to 15 per cent, did not at- ract particular attention, it being consid- red that the chief operators were inclined resume their milking had jeen so successful during the summer months. But the stringency of the mon- market exposed the rottenness of the peculation, and it fell heavily to 64, mak- ng a decline of 60 per cent, from its high- st price of a few weeks ago, carrying with its chief operator, who had sold puts extending from 30 days to a lifetime.

In ympathy with this oil other stocks de- but Chicago and Northwestern, its win brother, was thrown promiscuously in the market at 72 and 73. At one time Wall street wos in such furious panic hat strong men's nerves were weak, and veak men believed in all the fabulous re- jorts that the whirlwind had come which ras to sweep Wall street, and "like the fabric of a vision, leave not a wreck St. Paul preferred, which on Friday sunk 70, this morning sold at 84; i Cabinet Editor 'Evening Wisconsin: But we are inclined to the opinion that Gen. GBANT will pick ont his own Cabinet independent of party dictation. He is strong enough to do this, and more, we believe that he will do so.

It is probable that this greatest of financial trusts may be tendered to some merchant whose executive ability is equal to his integrirv. There must be some practical, nrst-clasB business man in the seven and thirty states to be to U. S. GBANT what Albert Gallatin was to Thomas Jeflerson. It is rare that so much truth is contained in so few words, as in the.

obove paragraph taken from your paper of last evening. For oil public offices men should be selected from their education, habits and fitness for the particular position. The great trouble of our country has been, in its executive and legislative departments, that offices have been given to favorites regardless cf filled by broken down politicians. A man may be eminent in law or in physic, and yet be a poor stick when it comes: to practical leg-' to the discharge of the duties of an executive office. Any one conversant with the halls of Congress or our own state legislature, is aware of one fact, which strikes.

all with surprise, of the great want of knowledge, on the part of the members, of the subjects upon which they ore legislating. Our laws are the result of this ignorance. In the present condition Df our country, the best ond most practical talent should be called into the public that has been educated to practical matters and to that particular service. We hope that the practical Gen. GBANT will not be swayed by politicians, but will exercise his good sense, as all people should do, in the selection of all public officers.

PUBLICO. GEANT'S VOTE IN THE FEEE AND NEGBO was the oft repeated charge of he democrats, when Grant was nominated, hat he was to be elected by the votes of be negro states. But the popular verdict hows that he obtained 167 electoral votes the free states, and 19 more than is ne- essary to a choice. This confirms our jst opinion, which we expressed in May ost; that Grant could be elected without be vote of a single negro state, and so he s. In truth, the general sentiments of the eople, white and black, were so strong or him, that nothing but copperhead madness could have induced their leaders to oin so many falsehoods about the nnpopu- arity of Gen.

Grant among the white peo- ile of the north. Result of the Election In Wisconsin. county, which last year gave 404 democratic majority, has elected a portion of the republican ticket and is reported as giving Sawyer a latest returns Co. give Grant 91 majority ana Cobb 55. Mr.

Townsend, republican, who was reported elected State Senator, it seems was beaten by 11 majority, owing to a local quarrel. There is one republican elected to the Assembly ond one democrat. The republican county ticket, with the exception of the candidates for register ond clerk of the board, is elected, returns from Marquette county show 667 votes for Grant, 920 for Seymour, 635 for Sawyer, 952 for Vilas, and that William Murphy (Democrat) is elected to the Assembly. county gives 1,600 majority lor Grant, and the same for Washbnrn, a republican gain over last year's majority of 541. publish to-day a complete list of the members elect to the legislature which is believed to be correct, and from which it will be seen that the Senate stands 19 republicans to 14 democrats, and the assembly OSjrepublicaus to 32 republican gain of one in the Senate over last year, and nine in the Assembly.

This ends the question until Parliament directly gives the suffrage to women. THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. GEN. GBANT, on his way to Washington, ast week, was received with the most un- ounded enthusiasm at all the stations long the route, but he contented himself vith simply acknowledging- the compliments of his fellow citizens; and when he arrived in Washington, on Saturday, drove irectly to his residence without giving the oliticians and office seekers any opportu- ity to make a demonstration over him. Arrangements had been made for a grand emonstration in his honor, but he declin- it, and on Monday was at Ms post at rmy headquarters, quietly discharging his fficiol duties.

Such is in striking contrast with the course of A. Johnson, nd augurs well for the new administro- ion. EEDDCTION OF THE NATIONAL 'he November statement shows that the overnment debt during October has been rminished This is much ore favorable than was anticipated. On the last days of October the democactic ournals, in order to aid Seymour's elec- on, mysteriously gave hints that the Veasury statement would show that the ebt had been augmented during the month of October. The croakers are now dumbfounded when it is announced that the decrease has been greater than in any one month during the past eight.

THE. MARBIAOE OF SPEAKEB Speaker Colfax is at Washington, but in the course of a few days he leaves for the residence of Senator Wade, in Jefferson, Ohio, where he is to be married to Miss NELLIE WADE, daughter of the Senator. Mr. Colfax is a widower, bnt has no children. His marriage to Miss Wade'will reconcile old Ben.

to the loss of the Vice Presidency, which a few months since he so much coveted. He will now be comforted with a son-in-law who is Vice President. SALT EIVEB Madison Democrat, in its lost issue, publishes a letter-from the "head of Salt Eiver," the present headquarters of the democratic party.

Another year is drawing to a close. It has been fraught with blessings to the people of this state. We have enioyed exemption from pestilence, from social convulsions and from all wide-spread calamities. Field and sky have ministered to a bountiful harvest, and in every worthy pursuit industry has been richly rnwarde'd. Under the benign influence of peace, the energies of the people have been directed to the development of our vast resources, and on evervhand have been multiplied the evidences unexampled growth and progress.

Not on'y in material things have we been prospered during the past year, but an nnnsual- improvement in our spiritual and educational interests has added to the power of the state and contributed to the elevation and hanpiness of the people. For these, and for other and manifold blessings, ought we not to set apart a day on which to unite in expression of gratitude to God. In recognition of this duty, Lucius Fairchild, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, do hereby recommend that THUBSDAY, THE 26th DAY OF NOVEMBEB next, be obsepfed by the people of this state, in the usuafman- ner, as a day of Public Thanksgiving. Given under my hand and the great'ieal of the State, in the ber, at Madison, this thirtieth S. of October, in the year of onr Lord, one thousand eight-hundred and sixty-eight.

correspondent in this morning's Sentinel makes some valuable suggestions in relation to this much desired improvement He, however, is under a miaapprehensioa" in regard to the nature of the undertaking and tho intention pf the present commissioners. In the first place the entire expense of the improvement is, by act of the Legislature, chargeable only npon the' Seventh Ward, with power to levy and collect a special fax of two thousand dollars per annum for the entire outlay and maintainance of the improvement; also the resolution of the city 'council authorizing the levy of the tax upon the ward, is nppn. the express condition that no part of tho expense shall be charge- obla to the general In the second very land proposed to be taken improved by terraces, by this correspondent, is private property, kid out in lots'and blocks, and owned by private parties, several of whom are non-residents and in no way Interested in or disposed to aid this project. If the correspondent of the Sentinel will refer to the city maps he will find twenty-four lots between Division and Oneida streets, immediately on the bluff, and-the property of individuals, which must be surrendered, purchased or condemned in order to be used in the way indicated, Tb.8 difficulty doea not end here. The very street commonly called "Lake street," which a year since was open and unobstructed, is now claimed by adjacent proprietors as their private properly 'and enclosed by fences-and private seriously embarrasses and complicates this business of a Seventh Word Pork.

1 It is agreed with the correspondent that minor considerations should stand in the of supporting'this measure with all the means necessary carry it. out," and when parties immediately interested and mostly benefitted by thisimprovemen are willing to withdraw their pretende claims and make such just and reasonahl concessions as the case demands, there no doubt bnt the Commissioners will no be wanting in all proper endeavors to ac coinplish this object One thing, howev er, is quite as cerlain.and I think I express the views of all the Commissioners, (leer tainly do of one of them,) that no port the ftmds proposed to be collected wit the taxes will be applied to the purchase disputed claims or valueless lots. When Seventh Ward obstructions get on of the way and all minor considerations ar removed, and the necessary means ar ready, the work will go on. D. P.

PBEW HIS MONEY FBOM THE BANK TO HAVE IT STOLEN, On Saint-day lost Bnhardl Behldorff, a Prussian, living in the 9th ward, drew ont of the 2d Ward Bank the snm of two hundred and forty-three dollars. Behldbrff is a laborer, who since his arrival in this country, three years ago, has saved the money. by piece meals, and was the result of much industry and economy. The money had been in the bank some time, but the man getting a little excited, with some of his neighbors, drew ont his money and took it home.

He hadfeors that the bank was safe, but after he got the money in his possession he was mpre than ever fearful that "he would it. Taking his money home, BehldorfFs wife urged-him to take it back to the bank, and he started to db so, bnt meeting a neighbor the good resolution was overcome, and the money taken home again. During Saturday night Behldorff was restless and weary, not sleeping any, for fear of and on Sunday he went into his back yard and buried the money. He supposed nobody saw him, bnt it is believed some one had been watching him, for on Monday morning when Behldorff his treasure was greatest reason to have all contributed lo'initate his countrymen against Mr. Johnson to the highest degree.

Thursday evening, a colored man named Moses Smith, died in Washington, at the advanced age of 120.

Ho was formerly a slave in Virginia, and retained a distinct recollection of the stirring events of the Revolution. He was a servant of an officer in the legion of "light Horse Harry," and remembered many incidents which, despite of his age, he related graphically, of the campaign of this cavalier in the Carolinas. His wife is still living, at the age of 113 years. He leaves six children, living, the youngest of whom is a uprightly ltd of sixty.

Soon reports came in thick ond fast from all parts of the country, but as yet they were varying. Many of the friends of General Grant came in, anxious to henr the news.

Much sport was made by the General, who had written out on estimate of the majorities for either candidates in the different states several days before. This he allowed no one to see except as each state was compared with his estimate, and in nearly every case he proved a prophet The two states first named gave exactly the majorities he had predicted, and the Presidential candidate seemed much more pleased ot his political sagacity than his success.

Mr. Bain calls the plant a species of dwarf acacia. Mr. Bain, when in the republic Eome years ago.conceived the idea of making an extract of the plant.
