THE USE OF REFUSE.

Among the most prominent of the industries
which have come into existence during the
present century are those based upon the utili-
zatiOn of what were formerly waste products.
"In chemistry" said celebrated professor of
that science to his pupils, "there is no such
(" thing as dirt: :" to the manufacturing chemist
the production of a valueless refuse is the
most abhorred possibility. But the successes
that have been attained by utilizing waste
products in other industrial operations, such
as the constantly increasing series of valua-
BILE substances evolved from coal tar, the ex-
traction Of sulphur from the residual Liquors
of the soda manufacture and the class of dis
coveries that have resslted in provi'ing a
variety of cheap fertilizers, havc scarcely been

Respectfuly HORACE GREELEI
Sec York, Nov. 6, 1872
New-York tribune., 1872-11-07
THE ADMINISTRATION pIcT0RY.

The result of Tuesdays election is even
more overwhelming than the first scant returns
from remote States indicated. Several of the
Southern States are in doubt some are already
known to have gone with the solid North for
Grant, and it can hardly be safely claimed
this morning that more than fve-Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, and Louisiana
are certainly known to have given Mr..
Greeley a majority.
In this State the majority for Gen. Grant is
estimated at about 5000, though some returns
are still wanting, and the official figures may
raise it to $1,000 or lower it to 10000. The
Administration men carry "a Congressman
sure, and the majority in the Assembly
is now shown to have risen to over
so. Pennsylvania vindicates her claim to the
uQsitiOn of the banner Administration State,
and her majority promises to rise above 100000.
In New-Jersey the Administration has ma
iority of 1900, has six out of seven Congress
men, and has two-thirds of the Legislature.
The triumph is overwhelming and unparalleled.
Some curious lessons may by and by be
found in the returns. For the present, we
content ourselves with noticeable point or
two in our own State. In 1868 the majority
by which New-York was lost to Gen. Grant
was 10000. In 1872 the majority by which it
was carried is say 5000. Yet in Oneida
County Gen. Grant has 1910 Jeoer
votes than in 1868. Meantime Greeley
has 3,138 fewer votes than Seymour, and 2G5,
or II per cent of the whole, voted for Herman
and did not vote for Greeley. In Troy 1S4, or
2 per cent of all, voted for Herman but not for
Greeley, and in Albany "a, or per cent. These
are the only considerable complete returns
from the interior. They seem to point clearly
10 two cOnclusions That marked per-
centage of Democrats refused to support Mr..
Greeley; and, That larger percentage, even
of those who supported Seymour, did not vote
ut all.
New-York tribune., 1872-11-07
CHIRCH AND STATE.

The nfe-and-death struggle between the
German Empire, as ruled by Bismarck ana
the Roman Catholic hierarchy thereof, led by
the Bishop of Ermeland, thoroughly backed
by the Pope, is paralleled by the Ike struggle
in Switzerland between the civil authorities OF
Geneva and the Papal power represented by q
Bishop whom the State refuses to recognize,
but who persists in the performance OF episco-
pal functions nevertheless. The controversy
is of importance here as demonstrating the
immense superiority of the American TO the
average European conception of the true re-
latiOns between Church and State.
If the Bishop of Ermeland or Bishop Mer-
r8ilOd will migrate to this country, he may
ofIiciate whenever he can find people willing
to accept his ministratiOns; nay, he may eX-
communicate whOmsOevcr he will, for what
ever good OF bad reason, with 40 one to re-
sist or ask Why do ye sof In Germany and
in Switzerland. it is otherwise. Bismarck will
not let the subjects of his Emperor be excom-
muncated except for reasons deemed by him
sufficient, while Geneva forbids Bishop Mer-
miod to assume episcopal functions at al.
We note with satisfaction the grayitation OF
the Old World toward the excellent practice
of the New. The overthrow of the Irish
Church Establishment was but one of many
steps in the right direction. All viii come at
last to the true and safe doctrine that religious
obseryances and Offices are wholly outside the
sphere OF civil government. " Render unto
Caesar the things that are Cesars, but unto
"God the things that are Gods"
New-York tribune., 1872-11-07
EACI- MIS- JONEHl

Next 10 political fbs, we think that the
scientific mcndacities which get into the news
papers, and travel up and down, astonishing
everybody, and remaining impudently uncon-
fronted, are among the plumpest and nakedcst
of what we should call "lies,o had not that
useful word been sent to Coventry by The
refined taste of the Grant editors. Whether
the quicksilver method of finding and raising
tho bodies Of the drowned is mentioned in
Brownies Vulgar Errors, we do not remember;
but we know that a good many people still
profess to believe in its efficacy. Mercury Is
most mysterious and miraculous metal, but
yiyacious as it is there are some things which
we believe are beyond it's power. For instance:
The San Francisco Chronicle relates how,
Sept. 80, an unfortunate Tuscan, Signor Ste
phano Landucci, was drowned. while irrelig
iously bathing on Sunday, in Lake Merced.
Several days went by without the discovery OF
the body, when the searchers, two cOuntrymen
of the submerged, suddenly remembered that
a loaf of fresh bread in which quicksilver has
been placed will drift about on the surface of
the water, and finally sink over the body. So
the loaf was procured, loaded. and thrown
upon tho waters of Lake Merced. 1t imme
dlatefy began 10 UOnL agalHSI Iub Nlnu, hIuCu
IA said TO have been unusually fresh 1T kept
ON until it reached certain point; it stopped
and suddenly sank; and shortly returned to
the surface, "and with it the dead body"
There is yarn for you'll Vncio Morino swears
to its truth, and so does Francisco Luca, both
of whom, says The Chronicle, are well known
to our population" so, OF course, we must
believe it, or expose ourselves to the charge
of disreputable ncredulity if we decline to do
so. Nevertheless. we unblushingly announce
to the world that we do not credit single
thread of the yarn. Credat JudrWs Apeltd,
we would say, if we ever allowed ourselves to
indulge in Latin. We accept neither the loaf
of bread, nor the quicksilver, nor the crown
ing marvel of the bread bringing up tho body.
All we believe Is that Stephano sunk and
subsequently revisited the surface. This we
accept, although, according to the principles of
evidence, we should be justified in rejecting
the Signor Landucci, dead and drownded," and
In affirming that there amt 10 such persons"
a. Yincio and Francisco.
And yet, il any of our readers please, they
are quite at liberty TO credit this story. Some
of us believe OF profess to believe even stranger
things every day. There are people in plenty
who have no doubt that Hume, the Medium.
