TIE HARDSHIP or EAR COUNTING.
Tomorrow Gov. English is to retire from
the Office he has filed for three years (n0t
cOnsecutively), in Connecticut, giving place to
Gov. Jewell, whom he has twice defea ed, ana
whom the people, at the last election chose
over him by a majority of 86. The Governor
proposes, we are told, to protest. AS"ihS'
what2
1t has not been pretended since the crushihS
exposures before the Legislative committee
it has not been believed at any time since the
first week after the election-that GOV. JeWen
was not the choice of majority OF the voters.
There was no claim by anybody that
Gov. English was not credited In the
original return from Enfield with twenty more
votes than were actually cast for him. Both
sides admitted that he was put twenty-three
ahead in Cheshire by deduction of that
number from Gov. JEWELS count, merely be-
cause the voters were thought to have tech
ncal disqualification, and were believed, not
known, to have voted for Jewell. And finally,
after 65 more than the whole number returned
from the Fourth Ward of NewHaven for
Jewell came up successively, pointed to their
names on the tally-sheet, showing that they
had voted for somebody, and then swore
that they voted for Jewell, it is
not denied by anybody that there
must have been an error of at least that
number against Jewell there. Republicans
claim and think they prove an error of 100 /;
but we have seen no effort to deny that it
must have reached IS. Here, then, are ac-
knowledged errors enough to transfer the pop
ular majority to Jewell admissions that the
fair decision of the people at the last cleo
ton selected Marshall Jewell over James E.
English for the next Governor of Connecticut.
But Gov. English is to protest. We invite
to the fact the attention of honest men
of all parties, who believe that majoIities
ought to govern. From the day it be-
came apparent that the Democratic candi-
date was not fairly elected by the people,
we have had succession of unblushing
efforts to defeat the popular will by parade
of inapplicable technicalities The whole
effort was not to find out what the people
really had said, but to smother all investiga-
ton not to ascertain how New-Haven voted,
but to prevent any Committee from looking
to see mot to let the vote of Enfield count as
it was cast, but to perpetuate the acknowledged
error in English's favor that came from read
76 wrong side up From the beginning
the Republicans have asked what the
voters really wanted ;-the Democrats what
the doctored votes could be manipulated
to show. And now Gov English pro-
poses to protest against the unfairness of the
Republican policy! We pray that his protest
be everywhere heard,-and remembered against
him for ever.

Gen. Hooker seems TO be labOring under an ap-
prehension that somebody has laid a plot to make
him President in utter violation of his own modest
wishes and feelings. He attended the recent mill
tary reunion in Boston, and several times expressed
the hope that there no politics. in it. AT the
banquet, "Uncle Joseph" especially explicit.
81 came not here" said he ito acquire the reputa-
tion of politician, but to soldiers. do MT
at all for talking soldiers but for those who can
fight am here, not to talk, not to play politician
do not want to do either" And having thus re-
lieved his mind Fighting Joe returned to his wine
and wanuts. He for one, is in little danger of being
ranked among the talking soldiers" being he
most emphatically is zone of those who can fight"
There is no reason why a good General should not
make good speech, but excellent generalship may
sometimes be shown in dodging the necessity of
making one. On this very occasion, Gen. Sheridan
was brought to his legs but he was back again in
his chair in about one minute. But even III this
retrograde movement, there were other Generals
who beat phil" Gen. Burnside merely remarked
that he came there for the express purpose of lis
tenng" Gen. Heintzelman through in few
seconds" Gen. Custer merely "bowed his acknowl-
edgementsr Gen. Ingalls, addressed the company as
follows: 81 am very much obliged to You" These
are specimens of some of the eloquent and golden
breyties which marked the feast. There were long
speeches enough and good ones; but these little eff
forts we reckon by no means among the worst.

We read in The Boston Transcript that Miss Kate
Reynolds will next Winter give n lecture "com-

We see that The Medical Gazette is publishing chemi-
cal analyses of popular patent medicines, showing
"how harmless they really are" Some of them are
so-some of them are not How about medicines
containing calome opium arsenic strychnine, bella
donna, lead and the likef The truth Is that the
patient who by the aid of the apothecary, doctors
himself never knows what he is taking. 1t may be
inert and il may las John Randolph said OF opium
"blow him up" To be sure, one knows no more
when regular doctor gives him Latin prescrip-
ton; but then the doctor is, it may be presumed,
master of his business and at any rate, the keeper
of his own reputation. But very often the patent
pill man has neither knowledge nor honesty; and
there is a temptation to make his remedies strong
and staggering. People soon get tired OF colored
water and gamboge pills and sugar powders

We shall be glad to find The EUening Posts
belief, that the Governor cannot give his sig
nature to the bill amending the Code in the
matter of contempts and otherwise, is correct; /;
and we certainly quite agree with it in holding
that the author and smuggler through the
Legislature of this bill deserves to be held up
to the scOrn of all honorable men. The
Erening Post should read, however, the news
paper organ of one Of the members of our
City Government. 1t lately, in reply to
sharp-spoken antagonist, boasted that in
few days he would learn to be more
cautious in his censure, since very important
amendments had been made to the Code
which would teach newspapers their place !!
After this The Post may perhaps have less
difficulty in deciding upon the man at whom,
It says, the slow unmoyiDg finger OF scorn
should perpetually point.

that the Peace Commission were with him in
Arizona to solve the problem, which, he con-
fcsses, is too difficult for him. He evidently
halts between the humane treatment which
his own good sense and kindlier nature would
suggest and the old prescribed reasoning which
makes him " felcitate himself on the number
of Indians killed this year." and on the con-
viction forced in that way upon the tribes that
" the whites must and will occupy the land"
and that their own position is more and more
insecure. We advise him to trust his own in
stinct, which leads him to believe that even an
Indian, clothed and fed, will be more amena-
bic to Christian influence than one starving,
Naked and perpetually reminded that his very
life is insecure.

TILE COIL MIDDLE.

The situation in the coal regions increases
in complexity. The position of the miners is
certainly much stronger than it was at the be-
ginning of the month. The Schuylkill regions
resume to-day, and furnish work not only for
the miners resident there but for large accessons
from Luzerne. AS business will be brisk, self
interest will lead the Schuylkill operators to
work the mines up to their utmost capacity OF
production. Most of the cOlieries Ill the
Wyoming region are already working. The
Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company are en-
ploying two "shifts of men," or double the
ordinary force. The prospect of resumption
in the Lebigh regions is good, and the LehlSh
Navigation Company commence work, we be-
lieve, to-day.
The fight, in fact, seems to be confined to
the territory of the three great Northern Com
panies. Resumption in Schuylkill, Lehieh, and
Wyoming is equivalent to vast reinforce
ment to the miners of the North so long as
the Miners Union remains intact and
good feeling prevails between its vari-
GUS subdivisions. We see no indication,
as vet, of q dissolution of that noted
body, which is largely made up of
the three most obstinate of all the races OF
men-tle Germans, tne EHSHSH, anu tHc
Welsh. The circumstance, therefore, that the
miners have rejected Mr.. Dickson's terms may
indicate wisdom rather than folly on the side
of the w. B. A.
Indeed, the great companies, after having
resolved Ito abandon their original position,
seem to have committed the error of yielding
too little. In bargain for diamonds the
abatement of sixpence in the price simply
shows weakness in the seller. The miners de-
mand that when coal sells at a high
price their wages shall be increased
All their employers, except only the
three great companies, have conceded this,
and do still concede it. The miners know
that coal will be very high for some months
to come. The companies offer them fixed
wages corresponding with the lowest prices of
labor and coal in other regions, and in the arbi-
tration which Mr.. Dickson proposes there are
no less than four distinct clauses binding the
umpire to ignore In his decision the basis
principle. Should the miners decline to arbi-
trate on these terms, the companies, having
paid 81 81 per car for the last work done in
their mines, and having refused for five and
half months to give more than SO cents, now
offer 03i cents until the close of the year

According to the British Board of Trade re-
turns, the value of imports into Great Britain
from the United States, during the year 1870, was
$249, 9,O4,645, the largest amount ever recorded.
This official statement furnishes the best reply
to the assertion that the present Tariff, by
raising the price of home products, virtually
excludes them from foreign markets. 1t re-
veals the startling fact that, under this Tariff,
the country most interested in Free-Trade Is
increasing its demand for our merchandise.
Meanwhile, skilled labor in America, secure
against the aggressions of cheap foreign labor is
perfecting new branches of art and opening new
channels of trade. The success Of one factory
benefits the whole neighborhood, and thus CO.
workers become coadjutants. In spite of the
tide of immigration. the demand for labor IL

The very bitter quarrel which has broken out in
the management of the Mercantile Library seems to
turn on two points of difference between the regular
directors and the "Reformers.D The latter demand
that the annual dues to clerks and other employees
shall be three instead OF four dollars AS the Library
is designed especially to benefit those whose salaries
are small this demand seems just. The difference Of
one dollar on years subscription is small but ex-
perience goes to show that the effect which a
small change in the price of any article has on the
number of purchasers cannot be measured in direct
ratio to the difference itself The enormous increase
in the number of letters following each slight reduc
tion in the rate of postage is case in point.
The " Reformers" also demand that those who help
support the readng-room shall have the privilege
of using it on Sunday The directors reply that the
trustees of Clinton Hall oppose the idea, and that
they shall make no farther effort in the matter.
Tho general charges Of corruption are doubtless
magnifed by the present feeling and, it is hoped,
will be disproved beyond cavil The annual cleo
tions, as at present conducted, wholly farce,
for we have seen repeating" enough in few
moments to show that the actual members have
little real voice in the matter. This is a subject
to which either party may well pay attention, and
its remedy will do much to remove the present
troubles

A favorite subject of lamentatiOn with Mr..
Wells is the deplorable condition of our trade
with the Argentine Republic. He complains
that while we have to buy hides Of that State,
the people there will take nothing in return
except bills of exchange on London, solely be-
cause of our "accursed Tariff" Mr.. f. ID.
Mansfield has looked up the statistics of our
trade with Buenos Ayres. 1t appears that
while our imports increased from $2,725OOO in
1853 to S6,415OOO in 1870, or 139 per cent, our
exports have likewise increased from $4,000
in 1853 to S2,28l 900 in 1870, or 313 per cent.
Mr.. Wells will have to drop the Argentine
Republic as he has already dropped the
Savings Banks.

The general situation at Paris is unchanged,
except that matters look brighter for the be-
siegers and more gloomy for the insurgents,
and that the crisis has been greatly hastened
by late minor events. The Versailles army
has carried Fort Yanvres and the village OF
Issy, and are massing in the Bois de Boulogne
for an assault of the ramparts. The Govern
ment troops increase daily, while the insurgent
army dwindles rapidly. Meantime, also, the

They have forgotten in the Blue Grass region
that there has been war-at least the Ken
tuckians refuse to recognize its results. They
disdain to grant to negroes the right which
the law accords them of riding in public
vehicles, although before the war they con-
ceded it as a privilege which only ruffians
would refuse. They will come to their senses,
perhaps, when they have been for time de-
priyed, by their own Stupidity, OF the advan-
tages which the street cars give them In a
city extending over a very large area.

The Massachusetts, towns which lately voted
prohibition of the sale of malt liquors have
suddenly discovered that the law which they
voted established an offense without naming a
penalty for its violation. The Legislature has,
however, promptly corrected the omission, but
new election by the towns will be necessary
to give this amendment effect. The result is
not likely to be different, for the Temperance
advocates in Massachusetts are Jealous as well
numerous.

Gov. Caldwell of North Carolina has issued
a proclamation of warning to the Ku-Klux.
His arraignment of the Ku-Klux, which he
recites in the first paragraph, is by far the
seyerest accusation which has been made
against them either at the North or South.
But il is evident that something more effective
than hard words and plain threats will be re-
ouired TO dissolve the secret societies and dis
Morse the marauders.
