Gov. Hayes has lost, in a
very short time, his reputation
for fairness and honest dealing
in his office, by several of his
recent performances, and espe'
cially by his selfstultifcation
in refusing to call a special
election for Congress to fill the
vacancy in the Third District,
and his unseemly haste in or
dering an election to fill the va
cancy in the Legislature occa
stoned by the death of Colonel
Young. In. the one case he
alleged that the time was toe
short and the expense toe
great, in The other the dead
body Of the Representative had
scarcely been buried before he
had provided for the election
of a successor. The motive is
disgustingly palpable. The
Third District was quite certain
to elect a Democrat to Con-
gress; Columbiana county i;
equally certain to elect a Re
publican Representative need
ed to maintain the ascendancy
Of that party in the House,
Fie, fic, upon such a little Gov
ernor.. s.:

The senatorial branch of the

The senatorial branch f:the
Ohio Legislature has COM
menced the discussion of a
sine die adjournment, and
passed a resolution fixing the
4th Of April as the date at
which the per diem of mem
bers shall end. This is a bad
sign that the session will be
prolonged. We have noticed
for several years that whenever
the Legislature commenced the
discussion of the absorbing
topic of the time of adjourn
ment, to the exclusion of all
other legitimate business, the
sessions were uncommonly
long and proftless. The symp.
toms are bad. The prospect is
that this Legislature, which in
aicted upon the people Of Ohio
the most infamous fraud ever
perpetrated in passing the So
called Fifteenth Amendment,
will keep on legislatiug until
the middle of Nav. and then
reluctantly disperse, after tink-
ering about everything within
the possible domain Of flegisla-
ton. At the close of the ses-
sion and after a few odd jobs
have been put through, there
will be found an additional con-
fusion in the statutes and a
wider range of absurdity and
; Puritanism in the laws. This
trouble arises from the original
misfortune of electing middle
men, and leaving both positive
parties without a reliable ma.
jority in the Legislature. The
Hamilton county "Reformers,'
who ran on both sides of all
party issues and betrayed both,
organized the House on false
pretences and passed the Fif
teenth Amendment fraud in
defiance of the protest of the
whole people, are largely re.
sponsible for the inefficiency
Of the Legislature and the
worthlessness and pettiness Of
its acts.

occurred between Job E. Ste

man, and Gen. Hickenlooper,
late u. S. Marshal, in the Cap
ital at Washington.
General Hickenlooper-Mr
Stevenson | see you are one OF
the signers of the document
containing the false charges
against me that / was a leader
of the famous Pendleton escort
Job-Yes, General. You
see that a man in my position
has to sign a great many
things that he doesn't know
anything about.
Gen. Hickenlo looper--Yes es
yes, I understand that; if you
had been forced into it, as il
were, by the pressure of all
the rest Of the Ohio delega.
tion, it would have been a sort
of excuse; but | find your name
very near the head Of the list;
consequently | must conclude
that you. attached your name
to what you.knew at the time
to be an Internal lie. Good

and demand will give, capital
should not be forced to pay,
first the wages Of him who
does work, and then on top of
that, also pay to him who does
not work; such is the ruling
now under the trade organiza-
tions. Thousands of idle men,
who never work, are supported
by capital, under the double
pay this capital is made to dis
burse. Hence the apparent
anomaly of idle mechanics in
all directions, and the tariff Of
common labor three to five dol
lars per day. 1t is the old and
shocking game of the Dutch
custom of "burning up the
spices of Ceylon to create a
scarcity" Trades Unions are
only now doing by their combi'
nations what they have charged
upon capital-creating a ficti'
tious scarcity by retiring labor,
and obliging capital when ii
must have a certain amount ol
this labor, to pay double price
for it.
Idle men are found all ovel
the country, and trade is dull
to the point of Stagnation; in
dustry is rusting out for want
of employment; misery anc
destitution are the fruits Of al
this, but the hugest evil, broad
and wide, resting like a horri-
BILE nightmare upon the nation:
is an atrocious party supporting
an equally atrocious admins.
tration, which has cursed the
wealth producers with taxes
and leagued itself with capital
lists to grind these workingmen,
and finally driven them into
such an abnormal condition as
is now presented; keeping up a
fund to support the many idle
men, through the high wages
of the few who do work.
This picture, of thousands com.
planning that they cannot find
employment and yet claiming
four to five dollars n day fol
working in any department Of
ordinary labor, and this condi'
ton Of things lasting year af-
ter year, production Of wealth
in the meantime being thus
constantly curtailed, is mos
startling. The laws of political
economy are for the time sus
pended, and commercial chaos
must be the inevitable result
till trade societies on the one
side are established upon nat
ural principles, and capital or
the other is made to cease its
antagonism.

mention that New York is full
Of idle men, and that the Coop
er Institute reading room is
visited daily by hundreds, who
have no work, and whose fami-
lies need the necessaries OF
life. This is a startling truth.
There is an immense amount
of distress among the artisans
of New York city, and of the
whole country; and in the
main, it is produced by the
terrible taxation which so en-
hances the cost of productions,
that there is less of these pro-
ductions created now per capita
than ten years ago. But huge
taxation is not all the trouble.
Singular as it is, the fact ex-
lists, that although labor is a
drug in the market place, it is
nevertheless dear. Every me-
chanic whose line of work is
connected with house building
for instance, from the man who
lays the foundation wall, to the
carpenter, brick layer, mason,
painter, paper hanger, etc,
demand and obtain from four
to FIVE dollars a day; nay, even
the man who carries the hod,
and the man who carries water
to aid in the preparation of the
mortar which cements the
walls, draw no less than three
to four dollars per day. Now
in the olden times, prices were
regulated by the law of sup
ply and demand. A surplus
of anything, whether of labor
or lumber, of bricks or bread,
of cattle or of corn, made the
same cheap; a scarcity dear;
and when there were idle
hands in the market places,
house building cost less than
when the trades, whose arts
fabricated dwelling places for
humanity, were all busy. But
what a change has come over
us! The law of political econ
omy, which has governed the
world for the past thousand
years, seems to have been set
aside, and the world stumbles
along upon a new principle of
progress, if progress it can be
said to be. There is a rise in
grain, and the poor are made
to pay double for the. little loaf
of bread. Is it produced by
a short crop of wheat? OF corn?
or rye? or barley? No, but a
combination has been created
by agang of capitalists, to buy
up and store all the grain they
can control, and a fictitious
scarcity has been produced
Here is a result which the law
of supply and demand could
not have brought about, for
supply was not short. A ficti-
tious scarcity was made to ex-
ist by a rascally gang of pirates,
who should properly be caught
and hung by the neck to the
public lamp posts, for meddling
with the food of the great
masses, and making it, through
the aid of money only, SO
scarce in the market that the
poor suffer for want of it.
These evils and they have
become almost countless, have
been practiced by capital upon
labor by the rich upon the
poor, to such a degree in the
past 10 years, that the great
body of have turned upon
those capitalists with thei
trades unions, and at last these
organizations, right and proper
in their origin, have become a
dangerous and abnormal ele-

The Cholera and the Smallpox.

New York, Nov. 13.-Some 80 cases of
cholera on the steamer Franklin at the Qua
%rantine to-day, were transferred to the hos
pi.al ship: ..s.l.
Later.sIt is officially stated the Franklin
had forty cases and twenty-eight deaths
during the passage. Nearly every one aboard
was more or less affected. Further deaths
are probable. e
The following is a correct account of the
cholera at quarantine:,
The steamer Franklin arrived on Satur-
dav night at quarantine, with a Number of
cholera cases aboard. She sailed from Stet-
lin, October 10th, touching at Copenhagen
and Christiansand on the 18th.
At the time Of leaving Christiansand she
had % cabin, Gil steerage passengers, and
81 crew. Ten days ago the first case of
cholera appeared among the Storage pas
sengers, and wien the steamer arrived at
Halifax to obtain coal, there had been nearly
one hundred cases, forty of which proved
fatal. Since leaving Halifax one death had
occurred, and to-day twelve patients suffer
ing from cholera were sent to thes$Nest
Bank Hospital.
New York, Nov. 14.-Additional cholera
patients from the steamer Franklin have
been admitted to hospital at the lower qua.
rantine station.
There is a feeling of uncasiness about the
cholera, but the Board of Health profess to
have the smallpox under control, only eight
new cases having occurred in the whole city
since Saturday.
Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-Thcrc were 491
cases of smallpox last week, a decrease of
eighty-ive cases as compared with the pre-
vions week.
New York. Nov. 15.-There araa&: new
cases of cholera at the quarantine, Including
the surgeon of the steamer Franklin. Two
cases were fatal.
Eleven new cases of cholera occurred
among the Franklin's passengers to-day.
The smallpox is spreading in Chile, and
has broken out among the troops of Buenos
Ayres.
Nov. 16.-One more death from cholera
occurred at West Bank hospital to-day.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1s.-The Board of
Health report 1873 deaths from smallpox for
the week, an increase of thirty-two over last
week.
New York, Nov. 1S.-There were two
cholera deaths at quarantine yesterday.
