HUMILIATING.-It would te very hu-
initiating to a sensitive nature 10 publish
as did the Gazette last week, q scurrilous
article written by friend of rowdyism
in defense of his namesake james
Charlesworth Merritt, and abusive OF
the corpoi ate officers for enforcing the
laws; and i'll the very same column be
compelled to publish the resolutions of
a Democratic town council, unqualified
ly endorsing and approving such officers
for the same sctions. But, TO person
like the aforesaid editor who possesses
to so great degree the elmer feelings
of gentleman" of course. il is the
pleasantest thing in the world! BY
this duplex performance he is enabled
to demonstrate that it is not impossible
to be the '.organ'' of the party and at
the same time the defender of rowdy-
ism.

The SILK Manufacture In the United
States

States.
From the Springfield Republican.
Sewing silk is made all over the coun-
try, and has about crowded out the
Italian and French manufactures, being
quite as good, and somewhat cheaper
The manufacture of ribbons, braids and
trimmings has greatly increased in these
ten years. SO that the foreign merchant
Is driven out of market. There are now
III Philadelphia thirty trimming facto-
ries. The factory of the Dale Company
at Paterson, New Jersey, turns out
monthly 5000 pounds of manufactured
threads l,OUO gross of silk braids, 800
gross of hat bands, and $50 yards OF
serge, employing 800 hands mostly
children.
Another Paterson firn, Dexter LAM
bert d Co., make $1,000 to 10000 yards
OF dress trimming per month. Cheney
Brothers, in their mills at Manchester,
Conn.,, are veteran manufacturers, hav-
ing nourished a constantly growing
business for thirty years, until they
now employ 1000 hands, and have gone
beyond ribbon making. Their annual
production is $4,000 pounds of thrown
silks, 60, 900 pounds of ..patent spun,
loo, 600 pieces of belt ribbons, and 800,
iouU ydIOS Vi "lut SOOuS, COin pl lsluS
dress silks, gros grains, poplins, foulards
and pongees.
Gros grains are turned out at the rate
of several thousand yards weekly, by
Givenaud's establishment in Hoh0ken,
and Stern's in First avenue, New York.
There are fifty mills. counting small
aud large together, engaged in various
stages of the manufacture in New York
city Paterson, New Jersey, is the head
quarters of the trade, and its fifteen
factories do more than those of any
other place. At Passaic and Hoboken
/ in New Jersey; at Schenectady, Troy
Yonkers, New York; at Mansfield
Hartford, Manchester, Connecticut, in
Philadelphia. and at many other places
the business flourishes.
The raw silk used by these factories
is imported free of duty, from China
and Japan, but it first passes through
the English market, which fixes the
prices we pay-an incumbrance which
we look to the Pacific Railroad to re.
move as we also anticipate that the
| cocooneries of the Pacific slope will
liberate US from our dependence upor
the Orient for the material itself.

WATsoN's ART JoURSAL.-We have
received two numbers of Watson's Art
Journal, a weekly Journal devoted to
Music, Art, Literature and Fashion" "
published at New York for seven dollars
and fifty cents per year. With each
number of the paper there is q colored
fashisn plate and pattern of some arti-
Gle of family apparel, SO that each sub
scriber obtains fifty-two colored fashion
plates, seperate from the paper, and fifty
two patters, worth more than the sub
scription price of the Journal. To
dress-makers, or to families that do their
own dress making, we think this work
would be almost indispensable. Sub
scribers have the privilege of choosing
twenty-five patterns from the plates fur
nished. Single number twenty-five
cents. Send and get one.

Tue CLIQUE AND ORGAN" DEMoI.-
Z. .o.-The small mutual admiration
society called the Executive committee
ofiL, Democratic parry for this county.
sustained by the ''organ" and the thicl
court, has been very diligently at work
for long time trying to squelch out
R. J. Alexander, Esq'r. They first Sc
cure, through the very accommodating
Judge of the Common Pleas Court, the
removal of Mr.. Alexander from the po-
sitiou of Master Commissioner and have
one of their own number appointed
The "organn then opens its columns on
him, denouncing him as an editor OF
the Chronicle, and finally, in bitter
article prepared by the legal adviser of
the cone-tops, Mr.. Alexander is boldly
and insuItingly read out of the Demo-
cratic party. So far the cone-tops, back
ed by the Court and ''organ" were sue
cessfuI, and had il not been necessary
to go back to the "dear people," they
might have sustained their triumph. A
convention, however, had to be called;
the people bad TO bs consulted, and Oh
Saturday last the largest Democratic
township convention We ever saw in
St. ClairsviIle, met at the. Court House.
The first thing that convention did
was to make r. J. Alexander its chair
man, and then, in order to show its
of the cone-tops and their
organ more effectually, it appointed
him, the aforesaid so-called editor ofthe
whom the organ had read
out of the party as ne Democrat. TO be
Central committeeman for the ensuing
year. This is a rebuke that to one who
knows so much aoout 1.-The finer feelings
of gentleman" ought TO be settler
The "organr and the cone-tops are
''out of time" on the first round. Fare
we'll, cone-sops! Farewell, clique!
