The Price of Paper.

From the Publishers Circular. au9diaH
1t is reported that Messrs. Harper &
Bros have ordered a whole ship load of
white paper from Belgium. Ticknor
& Fields, of Boston, have ordered 5000
reams in London. It has been esti-
mated that at present prices good book
and newspaper can be delivered in New
York, all duties and expenses included,
at three quarters the price of American
paper of the same grade. Another esti-
mate makes the difference in favor of
foreign paper ten per cent. instead of
twenty-five per cent. 1t is certainly
demonstrated that paper can be imported
at cheaper rates than our paper makers
are demanding. Mr.. Bennett, ofthe New
York Herald, told us that he was i'm
porting good newspaper at fifteen cents
per pound, whereas the American paper
makers were charging twenty cent for the
same quality. ess

The President Recommends Sol

TIE President has Just issued the fol-

1t is eminertly right and proper that
the Government of the United States
should give earnest and substantial re-
ward of its Just appreciation of the SER
vices~of the patriotic men who, when the
life of the nation was imperiled, entered
the army and navy to preserve the integ-
rity of the Uuion, defend the Govern
ment, and maintain and perpetuate unim-
paired Its free institutions. 1t is there
fore desired, first, that in appointments
to Office in the several Executive depart.

the various branches Of the public ser
vice connected with said Departments,
preference shall be given to such meri-
%torious and houorably discharged sol.
diers and sailors, particularly those who
have been disabled by wounds received
or disease contracted in the line of duty,
as may possess the proper qualifications
second, that in all promotions in said de-

public service connected Herewith, those
persons shall have a preference, when

AWord to soldiers.


Soldier, what did you fight for? You
didn't fight to free the Negroes, but to
restore the Union. Is not that trpe2
One more question: You fought sue
cessfully, and gained the victory; now
why is the Union not restored2 It is
somebody's fault. It is not the fault of
the people of the South, for they have
been for months begging and praying to
be admitted to the rights and duties of
States in the Union. 1t is not the fault
of the Democrats, for they have been Ia
boring with untiring zeal to restore the
Union.
There is but one answer to the ques-
ton. When the rebels ceased to be dis
u~uiohists the Abolitionists became disun-
%ionists, aud they are now doing precisely
whatfor five years you fought the rebels
for doing-keeping the Union divided.
To be consistent then, if you fought
the rebels for being disunionists, you
should certainly vote against the radicals
for being disunionists. It would make
an awkward record for you to fight four
years to restore the Union, and then, after
breaking down all armed opposition, to
become a disunionist yourself by voting
with the radicals.

The Fenian Excitement.

The Commercials Washington special
says: Sir Frederick Bruce processes to
have received information that leaves nc
doubt of the intention of the Fenians to
attack some point in the British prov
inces. 1t appears certain that large mum.
bers of men are gathering on the frontier,
and it is alleged that their object is to
concentrate and capture some place which
will be hastily entrenched and defended
In that case it is expected that reinforce
ments and aid from the United States
and British provinces will flow in to ena-
bic them to accomplish their Interior OBJ.
jects. The situation is deemed sufficient,
y alarming to call forth a proclamation
from the President against invasion of the
neutrality laws, and it will shortly ap.
pear. Serious remonstranccs have been
received from the Canadian authorities
1t is understood that the United States
Marshals on the border towns have re-
ceived orders to prevent any invasion.

Conservative g


There are many conservative Republi-
cans in this county, as we'll as elsewhere,
who in the bottom Of their hearts be-
'lieve that the radicals are wrong, and
that the Democrats are right. Now what
reason can these men give for not voting
the Democratic ticket? Fairly stated it
is just this:
True, the Democrats are all right now,
but they were all wrong once, and it is
likewise true that the radicals are all
wrong now, but they were all right once,
therefore We will vote the radical ticket.
Good friend, be careful that you do not
carry the logic of your politics into youl
religion. IF you do i. will run in this
way;
True, the apostle Paul is all right now,
but, by his own confession, he was all
wrong once, and prosecuted the Christians,
therefore I viii not follow him; it is like
wise true that the Devil is all wrong now,
but nee he was an angel of light; there
fore I take sides with the Devil.
The logic in the two cases is identical;
and if it proves you wise in voting the
radical ticket, with equal force it proves
you wise in walking voluntarily, with
open eyes, into the internal regions.
Reflect q little on this.

The Election in Connecticut.

The election in Connecticut was very
close, the majority for Governor being
but a few hundred on a vote of 5000,
If the Republicans have carried the State,
it is by the narrowest margin. Last
year they had 1880 majority, sweeping
every thing before them. If they can
hardly maintain themselves in a New
England State like Connecticut, 1t is easy
to be seen that they will be beaten by
tens of thousands in the great Central
Middle and Western States. Had the
policy of the President been fully de-
fined six weeks ago, we should have ever
carried Connecticut by a handsome vote.
Every day now adds to the Democratic
strength and deducts from the Republ;-
@licans, whose ultraism is running their
Eng.

Too Coon TO BE LosT.-When Gen.
eral Butler was recalled from the De-
partment of the Gulf and superseded by
General Banks in the command of New
Orleans, the Mayors Office was rendered
to him to take his congo of such persons
as felt DESTROYS of paying their respects
previous to his departure. As may be
supposed, there was a rough gathering of
the lower orders, male, female and juyen-
lie, and among them1were several Hiber-
MAN ladies, with their unwashed babies,
who came to shake hands with the Gen
eral. One Irish woman handed her baby
for a kiss, and taking the General by the
hand, addressed him as follows:
"Good-by, General; I'll say this for ye
that ye nlver stole anything from me.
Geod-by, General"

Congress at Prayers.

People who gaze upon the proceedings
Of the National House Of Representa-.
tives at Washington from the galleries
are often astonished at the way in which
the members conduct themselves when at
prayers. AT noon the Speakers hammer
falls and the Chaplain rises to supplicate
a blessing. Now, the theory of legisla-
ton is that all the members rise for the
same purpose; but in practice it is quite
different. A recent observer, who took
notice of the matter, says he counted ff-
teen Of the members who stood up, O.
whom twelve assumed a devotional atti-
tude. Upon gazing more closely, how
ever, he found that eight of them were
reading newspapers that were lying on
their desks. T~wenty-one others were
l%ounging about, seventeen were busy at
writing, and three groups whom the fall
of the hammer found in conversation,
were very soon again engaged in earnest
colloquy. This does not speak well for
the religious reputation of the House, and
may, perhaps, explain some of the strange
things that sometimes go on there.
