A BLACK MAILING PROCESS Hon. Mont. |
gomery Blair, chairman OF the Congressional
Democratic Executive Committee, has issued
a circular marked private" directed toclerks |
and other employees Of the Government In |
which he states that there arc many EN-.
ployces who claim to belong TO the Democratic
and Conservative party, and that to such he
takes occasion to say that there never was
such a need, sc. SC, and that every dollar
now contributed is worth ten contributed a
month hence. The said clerks, Sc. are then
directed to hand in their contributions, great
or small. The promise so cleverly limited At
In the closing part makes the circular espe-
cialIy interesting to the "Democrats" and
conservatives" 1t is rs follows:
"a record Of all contributions received, and
the names Of contributors Is kept for reference
at any time, now or hereafter.
TIE CALICO Interest OF the United States
Is an important one. The total product OF
printed goods In 1926 was about 100000 yards
In 1886 1t reached l2O,OO0,00O In 1855 there
were twenty.scven print works In the uniteu
| States which produced In the aggregate ao,-
! 10000 yards per year. This amount, at an
average OF ten cents per yard, was worth
go 10000. lnlsbi our exports of printed goods
mounted to y, 900 900. Our imports OF printed
cottous in 1855 reached tis,ilO,T62 Our exports
In 1857 were only tl,7s5,6s5 worth The total
production OF printed goods in 1860, according
to the census of that year, was s7I@s,ai.
| There are six million cotton spindles now In
operation IN the United States, Of which over
two million are running on cloths for printing,
and produce 4jooOO,OOO yards
! Tue NAVY DEPARTMENT has, in accordance
with the reduced amount of appropriations
and the will Of Congress, reduced the person
| mel OF the navy to what II was before the war,
| viz: eight thousand tive hundred men The
Secretary has dispensed with the services OF
almost all the masters At each OF the navy
wards only two or three Of the most import.
ant are retained At any yard, but the duties
heretofore performed by the masters all de-
vulvc on one of the quartcrmen or a foreman,
thereby saving n large and useless expense.
Two or three masters were continued At tie
Portsmouth yard longer than at some others,
but these were discharged after tie launching
Of the Algom,, y new sluop otwar recently
completed at that yard.
MAKING FIGrEi.1 LiE.-Thc New fotkHord
is cndeAvoring to extract comfort from the re-
suit In Vermont. 1t says " the Democrats, for
every one hundred votes last year, cast one
! hundred and fOrty.hvc votes, while the Re
| puhiicAns, for every one hundred votes last
| year, cast but one hundred and thifty.hye now,
! the percentage OF Democratic gain being ten
more than that Of the Republican gain" So
long as the result shows an increased Repub'
Iican majority Of ten thousand IN the State,
the " Mautalim Of journalism" is quite wei
| rnmc TO the comfort to lie extracted from these
after the election comparisons. - Rdhinorr

| OrE NRIGuHnH uF THE Express takes much
! comfort from the Vermont election and antici-
| pates that II Maine does not give more than
ten tn ousand Increase seymour and Blair will
| he elected. We congratulate our neighbor on
being able 10 draw consolation fr ON adversely.
The most amusing conclation Of the Erpr'"
Is this, that II the Democrats make like gains
in other States which our neighhor counts up
for his party in the Green Mountain Common
wealth, Seymour and Blair will he elected.
This beats the story about the frog lcaping
from the well.
Tug New York Post, discussing the election
IN Vermont, says. Thousands OF patriotic
men will welcome the result reported to-day
rs relief. The expectation OF Republican
success this year has been general. But there
has still been room in many minds for adoubt
| whether the great practical interests at stake
are so fully understood by the people as to put
the cause of peace, civil order, and national
honor quite beyond danger. The consequences
Of defeat are too terrible to be contemplated,
even asa possibility, without anxiety. But
the doubt seems now to be removed
Tue Seymour and Blair men are pTCtendin
that they did not expect any gains In Yer
mont. But the Philadelphia Age had dis
patch which said: THE Democrats are very
con hdent OF largely increasing their vote OF
last year, and arc making great exertions.'
The New York World Of Monday had one con
Guiding: vermont will give five thousand
Democratic increase" Many similar predic-
tend now that the Democrats let the election

| WADE HAMPTON is again threatening to bid
farewell to his native state, and TO say good
night" to his native land. He threatened to
leave for foreign parts At the time the Con
fcdcracy WAS Gubjugatedj and now he threatens
| that, in case Of the election OF Grant, he Will
| pack up his household goods and seek more
| congenial cline" 1t would be painful TO have
Mnssa Hampton leave U.S. but 1t Is far more
| painful to have him always terrifying ushy
his threats to leave.
| Tue MILITARY FAME or GES. GRAET.-
The Massachusetts, Democratic state COnvcn-
ton deprecated "all attempts to detract frOm
the military fame OF Dlacken the character Of
General GRANT,
Do our neighbors OF the Ini,HyeEc'r and Ii.
press hear this-Or will they read the DsmOc.

| rOIToN The south has raised this year
cotton To the value of $3.50, 900 900, food enough
Tor iia own support, tobacco, rice, &c. This Is
good show for al "oppTCbBed people" and Is
only An earnest OF what they Will do when
the election Of Grant gives us peace, and
dWcrts the southern mind from the absorbing
pursuit. OF Iuinuus politics.
