a Sad Spectac!e.

Many OF the manufacturing villages
of Rhode Island present a sad spectacle
at The present time. Business is almost
at a stand still, and in many places ii is
quite SO. Operatives are cut of employ
inert, with no prospect of obtaining any
until spring. and even then it is a matter
Of hope rather than certainty. Whole
villages are thus pIoSlrate. "The condi
lion Of many who run mills is but lutte
better. They can neither, to any profit,
continue their business or sell their goods
certainly not for cash. and 10 sell on
any other terms is regarded as adven-
turous in the highest degree. The o
sequence is very naturally bad all around
but chiefly SO among those operatives
who are without any present means. and
a great majority are in this condition.
In passing through the northern part of
Rhode Island yesterday, we saw Mt mills
with one exception running at any thing
like their accustomed speed, while eight
in ten were entirely closed. ''NOlhing
to do" is the voice that painfully sounds
on the ear in every direction. Such a
paralysis has never been known in these
villages. a majority of which date their

ring the last two years there has been one

of the Republican Legislature. 1t had.
according TO the l~ocofoco papers and ora
tors, done no good thing. Its best acts
were misrepresented. and its worst ones
exaggerated and perverted. 1t had not
the privilege of having its doings consi-
dered calmly and fairly. 1t was the
subject of the grossest description of ly-
ing, and the meanest and most dastardly
sort of perversion. When the Republi-
cans asked leave TO have the offensive
statutes pointed out, they were answer

The Reuubliean Triumph in Ohio.

Under this head the New York EVen.
ing Post of The eo;h say:
The result is y gratifying one in every
point of view. Il Is the most complete
political victory that the Governor has
ever achieved. His previous successes,
numerous ms they have been. were ID
tanned partly through til" division ri his
opponents. He was.e%lected to the United
States Senate by a minority; and when
he first ran for Governor, had the oppo
siIion been united, he would have been
defeated by about ten thousand votes.
In the late election the opposition were
united: the vote of the Americans vas
too inconsiderable to be chronicled by
the Ohio press, their merges in the ad-
ministration party having become abso-
lutte; So that the vote just given was a
fair test of the opposition strength of the
State.
In the two years Of his g~ubernatorial
administration, Mr.. Chase has built up
the Republican party from a small plur-
atty TO a majority, and has placed the
future administration of its affairs upon
a firm and enduring Republican basis
He has purified it of its secret foes as
well as of its transient and unreliable al
lies, and has consolidated all the friends
OF freedom and economy. into a compact
political organization. This is a fruit OF
wise craftsmanship; it is the ripened con
idrnce which his good sense probiIy
