noticeable Of those who were absent or
not voting, t'centy:tour. or more than one
half, were present and voted on the call of
the yeas and nays next preceding the call
of them on the Montpelier g. Wells River
bill-but few minutes before. To CON-
plete the record, we will further state, that
OF those absent or not voting on the Mont
pclier Il Wells River bill, t,oeaty-one were
present and voted on the Lamoille Valley
bill; and of this twenty lone, elepen voted
for and ten voted against that bill. Those
who we're present in the House yesterday
afternoon, and saw the retiring of men,
bers just before the vote was taken, will
not think strange that we have made this
comparison, to crafty our own curiosity (;
or that we publish it to crafty the curiosi.
iy Of others. Surely, it does make diff
ference whose OK is gored. Further COM
ment is unnecessary"

Brlluus 9alls Gimrs,
Triumph in North Carolina.

We have the good news this week Of
the triumph Of the Union party in North
Carolina, by some 10000 majority. 1t is
highly gratifying and more important than
the elections held in the other Southern
States, because of the fact of the great
preponderance of the white vote in that
State. 1t has been necessarily claimed by
democrats and copperheads that it was
only the negro vote that was polled for the
reconstruction measures of Congress. Of
the 81 counties in North Carolina, there are
but thirteen which have more blacks than
whites, and though her registered white
voters, in the election held there last week,
largely outnumbcred the blacks, yet they
give large majority for reconstruction,
aud elect Union radical convention to
form State constitution. A more signal
rebuke 10 the falsehoods of Northern cop
perheadism, could not well have been given
than this from the old North State, whom
we shall soon hope to see represented by
q Union delegation in Congress, and Civ
ing her electoral vote to the Union candi-
date for President in 1868.

ANCIENT FINE ARrs.-To the Editor
of the New York Herald: Respecting the
relics of porcelain ware found in the late
examinations at Herculaneum, which have
been forwarded to the Society of Antiqui-
ties in London, whereof your correspond
ent says the bottle resembling brakes
Plantation Bitters was undoubtedly placed
among the ruins by the agent Of DR. Drake,
we desire to state he is Incorrect in every
respect. IF bottle was found there bear
ing our lettering, the language of the An
cient Romans was different from the ac-
cepted literature OF that day. Our Agent
has other business than this in Europe, and
has not been. in Italy at all. No doubt
Americans carry Plantation Bitters to-
Rome; but trying to impose upon socie-
ty of Antiquarans in this way, seems quite
useless, and we do not appreciate the joke.
1t is unnecessary for us to spend money in
Europe while we are unable to supply the
demand for these celebrated Bitters here.
Respectfully,

NEW York CurY.-The charter cleo

NEW York CITy.--The charter cleo
ton Of New York City occurs next week.
The democracy are divided and have
three candidates for Mayor, Hoffman, the
present incumbent, Fernando Wood, { }
and Mr.. Anthem. The Union Republicans
have nominated HON. WILLIAM A. OAR
LING as their candidate, and every man
of them ought to come out to the polls
and thus elect him, between the divisions
of their common enemy. 1t is not often
that they have such an opportunity, and
now that they have they ought to i'm
prove it. They owe it both to themselves
and to their friends in the country 10
stand by their own candidate and give
him their solid, united vote.

The PREsIDENCY.-There is an in
creased amount of talk throughout the
country on the Presidency for next year,
and large preponderance in favor Of
Gen. Grant. He is looked upon as safe
man in whom the country will have con-
fidence.
His opponent in the Republican Union
National Convention most talked about at
this time is Judge Chase, who has many
warm friends, and in some parts of the
country Chase clubs are being formed to
promote his nomination.
Speaker Colfax is also mentioned occa-
sionally, and would make most excellent
President, but availability will be sought
and doubtless have controlling influence,
and this will give the advantage to Gen.
Grant. After al we can but regard it as
too early to settle down upon any man at
this time. If during next year there may
be financial disorders. no one can tell what
day may bring forth. Many Presidents
may be made and unmade between this
and the national conventions next year.
At present Gen. Grant is undoubtedly the
coming man, and this probability is grea1
annoyance to the Democracy, who think
that if the Union party will put up 9
civilian politician, their chances will
thereby be materially improved.

when vote was taken in the house on the

son Of this list with the list of those voting
on a similar bin to aid in the construction
Of the Lamcille Valley Railroad, we find
that Of those who voted for the Lamoille
Valley bill eight voted against the Mont
peiier and Wells River bill; and Of those
who voted against the former bill, only
two voted for the latter-a change of FIVE
votes against the Montpelier &c Wells

The HARPERs.-Aw writer in the Boston
Gazette has recently visited the celebrated
Harper's establishment in New York, with
whose most excellent publications our whole
people are no strangers, and from his letter
we take the following: Hon James Har-
per--Honorable because once our Mayor
is about seventy-three years of age, and
there is no youth about the establishment
more active than he. He delights in
good story, good listener, and good
joke; and no one can discover a reason
why he shouldn't live twenty years yet );
Mr.. John Harper is about seventy, but not
as robust in health as James. He is the
negative element in the firm, and common
Iy yields the veto power. Mr.. Wesley
Harper is gentlemanly and courteous, CON-
forting disappointed author and encour-
aging promising one with equal suav5ty-
Mr.. Fletcher Harper is the active, ags,es-
sive spirit of the firm, but with a vanEtfng
ambition that never overleaps ITSELF 1t is
bis spirit that animates and directs the
Monthly, Weekly, and Bazaar. Besides
the four members of the firm, there are
numerous sons, making round dozen in
all. The Harpers resemble English firms
in the tenacity with which their employees
cling to them. There is one gray-heaGied
octogenarian, who has been in their en-
ploy fifty years. The foreman of their
composing-room has been with them forty
years; the foreman of the press-room
thirty five years, and there are women in
the folding-rooms that have been with them
thirty years. Their cashier has also been
in their employ thirty-fve years. They
have made fortunes for themselves and for
others. As high as forty thousand dollars
have been paid in single year to one
author as his copyright profits. Their is
sues are from ponderous Greek and Latin
lexicons down TO the last new novel in pa
per cover, and include every department
of literature. They run forty Adams
steam presses, and six large cylinder
presses. They have the largest press
room, the largest bindery. and the largest
engraving room in the country, and all are
employed solely on their own publications"

CoNGREss.-Congress met on Thurs

AMERICAN NoTEs.-Ticknor & Fields,
Boston, have republished "American
Notes" by Dickens--price so cents. 1t
is even more interesting now than when
first published, because of the strange con-
trasts in the two periods. For instance,
the capitol is now three times as large as
it was then, and we may almost say the
same of the country freedom has taken
the place of slavery; railroads on all the
main lines of travel have driven off stages
to the by-ways; the great steamers of the
Ohio and Mississippi have been turned to
freight boats, and now another process has
been begun, by substituting small sleam-
tugs and barges to convey the wheat, flour,
corn and pork Of the West to the ocean
ships and steamers at New Orleans.
