THE LONDON TINES ESTABLISH
MENT.-John W. Forney, Jr., sends
to the Philadelphia Press an account
of visit to the London Times estab-
lishment, which, as coming from a
newspaper man. contains some feat
ures of interest The verbal correct
ness of the Times is accounted for by
the fact that every line is gone over
by proof-readers six or seven times
before it is considered ready fer the
forms, and then an old printer is
specially employed, whose duty it is to
read the entire newspaper each morn
ing, and to report every typographical
mistake. The proofs are then ex-
amlned, the authors of the blunders
fined, and the amount thus obtained
placed TO the credit of the sick
fund" of the establishment. And
yet. after all this care, we have noticed
within year or two, several typo
graphical mistakes in the Times.
Mr.. Forney found the composing
room of the TIN es neither large nor
well ventilated. being much inferior in
these respects to the best class of Off
ces in this country, Old fashioned
stands and cases were also employed.
The best compositors-only Eve or six
cannot earn over $25 week,
although it is nearly, as expensive
living in London as in our large cities.
The daily circulation of the Times is
somewhat over forty, theuaand or
the four presses used, the best two.
are Hoes, aud they not Of his later
and best manufacture. There is a
restaurant connected with the estab-
lishment, at which food is served at
cost prices. There arc eighteen re-
porters, aud corresponding number
of editors, who are invisible to the
public. sFhe telegraph is much less
used than in this country, and less
enterprise is shown in procuring news.
Mr.. Forney says that nothing sur
prised him more than the complete
system prevailing throughout the es-
adjustment. Nothing is allowed to
go to waste. A card is kept by the
different pressmen, and on it is marked
the cause Of any spoiled sheet
whether it was the fault Of the paper
maker, the feeder. or The press The
very rags with which the machinery
is wiped are counted. and those who
use them cannot receive new Zones
until they return the dirty cnes, The
latter are then washed by washing
machine in the Office. and IL is said
that this small operation saves yearly
one hundred aud fifty pounds. r,

Our Next Governor.

g The Wabash Plaiadeaier, iu notic-
ing an article from the Grcensburg
Chronicle, favoring the election of
Colonel Cumback for Governor, says
Should Mr. Cumback be the nom
iBee of the Union party for Governor,
he will receive our hearty support, be-
cause we believe him to be a true
man, and to possess the qualifications
which fit him for the Office. But we
are hardly prepared to break ground
in his favor a. against the present in-
cumbent Of that Office, whose admin
istrative ability and modest, unassum-
ing merit have secured for him the
confidence of every member OF the
party to which he belongs. and have
given MIN a reputation tor purity Of
which the best Governors we have
had need not be ashamed.
We suppose there are other gentle
men, also. whose friends would like to
see them at the head Of the ticket,
but it is too early to discuss the mat
ter yet, as there may be many changes
in the position of men and policies be-
fore the time for nominations. a Other
things being equal, Governor Baker
will be entitled to the endorsement Of
a nominations, for certainly no, man
who has ever occupied the Office has
given more general satisfaction than
he while acting Governor.-Ihdidr-'
