THE KNITTING MILLS AT CoHoEs,
New YoRK.-The fifteen knitting
mills at Cohoes. New York, have
been gradually suspending their ope-
rations for some little time past, a
mutual agreement having been made
that they should all stop running by
the 10Th of August. As these mills
have been employing some two thous-
and hands, the suspension of work is
a serious matter to that large number
of operatives, as we'll as to all the in
habitants and business interests of
Cohoes. A Troy paper gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the suspension:
The stock of shirts and drawers
now on hand is enormous. They
have been accumulating for months.
because no profitable or even saving
market was open to them. The pro-
prietors show that it costs them
S11 70 per dozen to manufacture
shirts and drawers; and these are now
and for some time have been selling
IN the great market at so So per
dozen. 1t is supposed there are about
25O machines for knitting shirts and
drawers in this country. OF these
about .125 are in the village of Cohoes.
The stoppage is a severe blow to
large number Of operatives, but it is
unavoidable. The manufacturers
have been expanding large amounts 4
for months, and receiving no return
whatever

The New York Tribune of a recent
date has an Article censuring General
Grant for hisacceptance Of the Office
of Secretary Of War, and says:
=" Does neteyery reasonable person
know that had Gen. Grant declined
the appointu ent-which, being a civil
office, he had a right to decline-the
President would not have succeeded
in removingthe War Secretary"
To this tie Washington Chronicle
replies as follows
" The assumption of the Tribune,
that General Grant had right to de-
decline. is Dne in which, if we are
correctly informed, it is at issue with
Secretary Stanton himself We have

high character. a personal and politi-

We have become used to the coarseuess
and studied misrepresentation Of Democratic
journalism. We know there is no falsehood
so palpabe that it shames their papers to
tell no offense against decency that they in
shame keep their columns free from. We
know with what malevolent purpose and per,
sistence they trndace the living, and distort
facts, and parade indelicacy, and foster ignor.
snce, and revel in low passions, and dispense
the coarse vernacular of vice and rutfianism.
We don't expect them to be decen, as re.
CARDS the living, but they might be decent
concerning the dead. The Davenport Ga
Sette having lectured Geo. II. Parker for tell
ing vulgar joke in public Democratic ad
dress, the Chicago Times makes this coarse
and brutal reply:
We do not recolect to have seen the news
paper organ of Mr.. Congressman Price. or
any other radical journal of the Miss Nancy
stripe, blushng scarlet over the relations OF
the snutty joker who not long since stood al
the head Of the nation. Lincoln telling nasty
Stories and requesting Lamon TO sing an OBJ
scene song when riding among federal dead
did not draw word Of rebuke from any fiis
tdions radical in the country. The orgies a,
the White House during its occupation by
Mr. Johnsons predecessor did not in the
least shock the modeaty of radical,sm The
face of decency burned with shame over the
revelations OF the Presidential mansion: il
was only radicals who looked upon the shame
ful occurrences as legitimate portion of the
work Of developing the Interests of God
and humanity
The conclusion to be drawn from the 81
lence of radcaism over the smutty Joker nj
Washington, and the tenor of the above ex.
tract Is, that radicals believe themselves en-.
titled to the exclusive use of smut and indie !,
cency. They grow indignant over their EN-
pioyment by democrats. As they feel so
badly over the matter. it would be well
enough tor democrats not TO infringe upon
their rights in this case. They seem to be,
lisye that they have patent upon the use OF
NTH. Democrats may as well humor this be
hei, and allow them the exclusive handling
OF those weapons in whose use their late
President proved himself an adept.
That statement of Lincoln telling nasty
stories, and requesting Lamon to sing an OBJ
scene song when riding among federal dead =
was huge democratic lie when told of Lin.
coin living, but as repeated now of Lincoln
dead, it is not only huge lie, but an afro
cious, vllainous, indecent one, TOO mean for
Hottentot to be guilty of.

soxE of the Copperhead organs reject with
indignation and scorn the claim of President
johnson, that the result Of the recent cleo
tons was victory for him and his policy.
The party has used him, has profted by the
patronage which he freely bestowed upon
them in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and now.
with base ingratitude, turn round and deny
him the benefits aud the honor of the vic.
tory.
But there Ia no use Of controversy npon
this question whatever. The Johnsontes.
the Copperheads, and the rebels are one-s
trinity in unity, one in spirit and in purpose
and only needing the cementing influences Of
public plumber, impartially distributed, 10
render them one and indivisible in form and
substance, as well as in sentiment aud oh
ject.
A victory for one is victory for all, and
all share in its benefits, but the rebels will,
get the lions share, no doubt, for they are III
rebels at heart.
