REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GEN.
ERAl.

Postmaster General Cresswell has
nearly completed his annual report,
which will this year be of more than
usual interest, since it will include.
in addition to the record of the
operations of the Department, re-
concentrations in favor of the re-
peal of the franking privilege and
the assumption by the government
of the telegraph business of the
country. Upon the latter topic the
Postmaster General will present q
large amount of statistical and Of
ficial information, specially collected
for this purpose during several
months past, and derived from the
experience of nearly all European
countries. The subject as thus pre-
sented is likely to attract early at
tention by Congress, and it is ex-
pected an effort will be made to
place the whole subject in charge Of
q special committee of each house

FoRTY.THIRD CONGRESS.

The Forty-third Congress goes
into power March 4, 1873. The
elections for members of the next
House of Representatives have
nearly all taken place. there remain
ing only seven members to be cho-
sen. = four from Connecticut and
three from New Hampshire, which
States do not vote until next spring.
While the returns are yet imperfect,
SO that the accurate political COM
plexion of the next Congress can
not be given, it seems probable that
the Republicans will number at least
two-thirds in the House, while in the
Senate, without Senators Sumner,
Schurz and Fenton, who were sup
porters of Mr.. Greeley, they will
approximate two thirds.

THE PROTECTIVE POLICY.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
number of manufacturing establish
ments in the United States had in
creased from 14O,433 in 1860, to
252, JAS in 1870; that, while the to-
tai value of all manufactures at the
latter date was$4, 49,, ,625, ,s92, against
$2,346'S64, PIG at the former period
and that this extraordinary increase
has been very largely owing to the
operation of the protective policy,
which unless reversed, will enable
us to take the lead in the world s
iron markets within the next ten
years, and cause iron and steel to
become staple American exports,
the same as cotton and grain-it is
evident that the free traders propose
to interfere with the matter as soon
as Congress assemblies. This is ap-
parent, alike from the tone of near
ly all the leading Democratic papers,
from the renewed activity of the
free trade league, and from the
statement of the revenue reform-
ers" who recently met in council in
Cincinnati to consult respecting the
formation of new party. In view
of this fact the American Iron and
Steel Association has addressed a
communication to its members, set
ting forth the importance of send
ing in early estimates of their pro-
duction for the present year, in Or
der that the statistical tables may
be completed as soon as possible;
with information as to what new
works have been recently erected OF
are in contemplation. The statis-
tics and estimates of this associa-
tion have in the past been of great
service to our protectionists repre-
sentatives in Congress, in enabling
them to combat the theories and re-
flute the arguments of the opponents
of our home industrial interests
and it is to be hoped that the re-
quest of the association may be
promptly responded to.

AS WE EXPECTED,

The Columbus conclave ended as
might have been expected from the
beginning. The little Brinkerhoff-
Hassaurek tail wanted to wag the
Democratic body, after putting a
collar on its neck marked Liberal" :"
The Democracy, under the lead of
Thurman, who has a Senatorship
at stake, refused to be either collar
ed or wagged.

The official returns gave General
Grant IA, ,557 majority in New Jcr
sey.
During October the national dept
was reduced five millions of dollars;
which is somewhat reconciling.
Some figures, given by the Boston
Advertiser, show that the profits
of the manufacturers of that State
were $1O2, 100000 in 1870, or about
sos per capita to the population.
The wages paid amounted to $4,000
600, which, to those employed in
the factories, was equivalent to 421
each.
1t is to be hoped that Frank Blair
will be defeated is his aspirations
for rejection to the United States
Senate. Carl Schurz is against,
while Gratz Brown is for him.
Quite number of Missouri politi-
clans would like to occupy his seat,
and the fight promises to be one OF
unusual interest, the cry being, 'any
thing to beat Blair.
Queen. Victoria's laundry at Rich
mond is to be fully supplied with
water, Notwithstanding the recent
refusal of the Nestry to allow Her
Majesty's solicitor permission to
have the requisite pipes laid across
certain streets. The spirit of peace
and compromise has brought this
threatened trouble to happy ter
mination.
1t was expected that Michigan,
with her 10000, majority for Grant,
would have the third place in the
Republican column, but New York
and Illinois are pressing her close.
The formor of these States was one
that the New York Tribune put
down as sure for Greeley, and the
latter the same wise newspaper
considered doubtful.

MOUNT UNION CoLLEGE-ITS STU.
DENTS-SUCCESS AND
TENDENCY.

On the eighth inst. closed one OF
the largest attended and most pros
porous Terms known in the history
of this fourishing Institution. Ad-
vantage is being taken of the vaca-
tion of two weeks to repair the
buildings, grounds and walk, and to
add some substantial improvements.
The prospects for the Winter Term
bid fair to fill up the Literary, Com
mercial, Normal and Musical De-
partments of the College with new
students, while very many of the
older students in the Regular Col
lege Courses will be engaged in
teaching public schools, in order to
earn the means of return for the
coming Spring, Summer and Fall
Terms. Six thousand and sixty
seven of the S,310 students educated
at this Institution, have gone into
the various States of our country
and taught Public Schools. Their
success as teachers speaks we'll for
the Normal Department of the Col
lege. Over a thousand students in
structed in the Commercial and ac-
tual Business Department, are also
employed in positions of high trust
and profit; while those taught in the
Vocal and instrumental Music De
partment are charming the social,
domestic or devotional circles with
sweet melody. Those in the more
solid and extensive studies of
Science, Language, Mechanics and
Literature, are ploughing deeper and
wider furows in the variegated fields
of life.
Perhaps Mount Union College is
more indebted to it's students for
its almost unparalleled growth, than
to any one thing, if not to all others.
But few communities of the country
where their voice is not heard on
their silent influence felt. This is
emphatically a College for the peo-
pie. Its leading object is ''to pro-
vide for the people a College, where
any person can freely and economi-
cally obtain superior Illustrated In
struction in any useful study"
Among its distinctive features are,
prominence to Practical studies,
liberties in the choice of studies,
equal privileges to ladies', economy
in expense, apparatus and specimens
for illustrating each study, encour-
agement to students to think and
act for themselves, and special care
for the health, morals, discipline and
comfort of students. The steady
fidelity to these principles is what
has planted Mount Union College so
deep in the confidence and affections
of the people. Struggling through
poverty and weakness, it has stead
lily risen, triumphant in the accumu
lation of over a third of a million
in College property, and the moral
force of public sentiment. The
healthy growth of this College is a
subject for rejoicing; the more, be-
cause each year is demanding a
higher grade Of intelligence and vir-
tues on the part of all our citizens;
and the success and stability of our
Republican Institutions depends up
on the thorough education in every
sense-of the young of both sexes.

ORRvILLE. Nov. Is. 70.


EDS. RErUBLIcAN:-The epizootic
is raging here TO great extent and
still spreading. All the livery hors-
es and several teams about town are
laid up. Nearly every farmers
stable in this vicinity is full of sick
farm horses. No fatal cases have
yet been reported. Should this
have occurred in the busy Spring
time the farmers would have been
greatly embarrassed in their work.
As it is it throws a serious obstacle
in the way of all kinds of business.
On the whole it may teach US to bet
ter appreciate the value of the no.
BILE animal which does so much for
us, and to give him better care in
the future. Entirely deprived of
his valuable aid our industries and
agricultural interests would be pros
trated.
Messrs. Grabill, Hartman d Co.
are now engaged in opening up a
new dry goods store in D. G. Horst's
new block. This is undoubtedly
the best room in Wayne County.
Messrs. Taylor, Barrett and Esh-
Gilman are beginning to rebuild on
the site made vacant by the late fire.
They will build of brick, but only
two stories in height which is prob
ably the best taking all things into
consideration. In a town without
fire department high buildings are
not very desirable.
Messrs. Hartman and Swan, of
Wooster. have bought Miller d Tay-
lor's stock of drugs. The Mansion
House changed hands last week.
The name of the new proprietor is
yet unknown to me. '.
The Cleveland, Mt. Vernon q Del
aware road has recently received
two new engines, a lot of fiat, box
and few stock cars. That road is
being splendidly equipped as regards
the rolling stock. The new passen-
ger station is completed but not yet
occupied. The telegraph office will
be removed to the new building this
week, and will be the best railroad
office on the line Of the P. F. W. Il
G. road.
Probably no place of this size in
the Union passed through the late
campaign as quietly as Orrville did.
For my part did not see torch
light, banner, or political flag, nor
hear political speech during the
campaign. 1t is probably as we'll.
At least we are well satisfied with
the result. WAYNE.

UNKIND,'

The aunkindest cut of alp is for
the Democrats now to swear they
could have got along better without
the aid Of Republican deserters who
joined their ranks. They claim in
stead of being help to them, they
drove honest Democrats away. 1t
is doubtless true, yet the Demo
Gratis should spare the feelings OF
their late associates a little.

trimming his sails to recover the
Republican subscribers he has
lost, and retain those he has so
basely betrayed. But this MATES, as
in the late election, he reckons with
out his host. He basely be trayed
his Republican readers once, and
they will never trust him again.
He ATTEMPTED to betray the Republi-

As the sufferers by the fire are be
coming acquainted with the nature
and extent of their losses, the feel
ing of confidence grows stronger
that both the home and foreign in
suranee compa nies will in time liq-
uidate their entire debts. Salvage
is found to vary from fifty to six
ty per cent, and as schedules of
saved property are being made out
as rapidly as possibly, and policies
and proofs of losses are in some
cases already sent in, the work of

LAMATlON.

COLUMBUS, Nov. l, 1872.
Governor Noyes this morning is
sued the following proclamation:
A year of unusual prosperity to
our State and country is now draw
ing to close. The labors of the
husbandman have been abundantly
rewarded. Every department of
business has been prosperous. The
investments of capital have been
remunerated, and harvest toll has
been rewarded as never before. We
are at peace among ourselves and
with all nations of the earth. In
grateful recognition of the manifold
blessings with which our lives have
been crowned in accordance with
custom long endeared to us, and in
conformity to the recommendation
of the President of the United
States, I, Edward F. Noyes, Gov
ernor Of Ohio, do hereby
designate and appoint Thursday,
the 2Sth of November, the present
month, as day of thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the good we have
and of prayer for the good we seek.
And I do especially recommend and
request that all the citizens of Ohio
shall, upon that day, rest from their
ordinary avocations, that in houses
OF public worship, and in quiet
homes, where families are reunited,
they may acknowledge their obliga
tions to the Creator, and remember
the duties of kindness, generosity
and brotherly love which they owe
to their fellow men.
Given at the Executive Chamber,
at Columbus, this first day of No
vember, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy

The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re-
produce four of John S. Davis inimitable

January, April, July and October, would be
alone worth the price of years subscription.
The popular feature of a cOpiously illustra-

best estimates place it at from 5O0,-
600 to 100000, being from 100000

over Seymour in 1868. This is in
deed a high compliment, since it is
