Mr.. Story, son Of one Of the propri-
etors of the Rochester Democrat,
writes to that paper an account Of his
visit to the office of the London Times.
We copy portion of the narrative:
One of the most interesting and
novel departments of the establishment
is that in which the stereotyping pro-
cess is carried on. You know, per-
haps, already, that every number of
the Times is printed from stereotype
plates, thus saving great wear and
tear OF the type. The stereotype plate
is taken from the "form" in three min
utes, by new process, invented by q
Swiss, and known only to him. A thin
layer Of soft and damp papier mache
first receives the impression of the
type, and after it has l'een hardened
by the application Of heat, the melted
lead is poured on which is to form the
stereotype plate.
The pspier mache has the power of
resisting the action of the melted lead,
and comes out of the fiery trial unin-
jured, and almost unscorched. The
plates are re.melted every day after
the issue was printed from them, and
the waste Of type metal from day to
day is very slight. BY this power of
multiplying the number of forms from
which the same side of the paper can
be printed, the Times can use three or
four presses at once, and thus print its
$4,000 copies, on an emergency, in
two hours time. The Times employs
in its establishment some $50 persons.
1t has eighteen reporters at the Houses
OF Parliament, and for these, as we'll
as the majority of its compositors, the
working hours are the night hours ex-
clusiveIy. 1t owns four cabs, which
are employed solely in carrying report
crs to and fro between Printing House
Square, and the Palace at Westmin-
ster. The reporters relieve each 9TH
er at the Houses every quarter of an
hour, and thus though the debate in
the Commons last till four o'clock in
the morning, the Times gives it in full
BY sunrise, though it cover two whole
pages Of the Journal. =.

Senator Pugb, Of Ohio, opened the
campaign in that State, the other day,
at Batavia, 10 an elaborate and able
speech. We extract the following
paragraphs from q sketch Of It in the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
The Democratic doctrine was not
only 70 leave TO each State the power
10 decide whether it would have slave-
~ or not, but also each Territory,
which was nothing but . community
about to become . State. They we're
interested in the matter, and were
abundantly qualified to decide it
for themselves. II they wanted
slavery they could have it, and il they
did not want it they could exclude it.
II was their own business. He was
aware that some Ere. eaters in the
South claimed that Congress could and
should protect it in the Territories, "a
the Abolitionists claimed it could and
should prohibit it; he repudiated both
heresies as wrong and anti Democratic.
The fire-eaters and Abolitionists were
sectionalists and fanatics alike. II the
fre-eaters we're North, they would be
Abolitionists; and if the Abolitionists
we're South, they would be fire-eaters.
Both circulate the sentiments Of the
others in the opposite sections of the
Union to influence its component
parts, and put emnity between the
North and South.
The Republicans now had been so
annihilated in argument that they now
only claim to be opposed to the extern.
sion Of slavery. Who was not oppos-
ed to it in the free States He knew
of none who we're in favor of it, but
while opposed to the extension, if the
people Of the Territories wanted it
they had a right to 1t. Congressional
prohibition could not prevent it. The
people of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
held slaves in considerable numbers
against the provisions of the Ordinance
of 1887. The Republican Philadel-
phia platform claimed that Congress
had sovereign power" to prohibit
slavery in the Territories. There was
no such word as sovereign" 10 the
constitution, nor nothing analogous to
it. The claim Of congressional sover-
eighty over the Territories was but q
reiteration on the Tory and British
doctrine before the American Revolu-
ton. They claimed that the British
King and parliament could bind the
colonies, although the lattoT we're not
represented in it. So the territories
were not represented and had no vote
in Congress, vet the people we're to be
treated as King George desired to
treat his American subjects.
The Abolitionists denounced The
fugitive law, which was an exact copy
Of the laws of 1898, approved by Geo.
Washington, save that justices of the
peace remanded slaves to their masters
instead of commissioners. In neither
case was there any trial by jury. The
