of the resignation of the Gladstone Ministry,
in Great Britain, was unexpected at this time.
It has been seen for several mouths past that
the Ministry was not in secure position, but
it was not thought that change would take
place as soon as it has occurred. 1t was brought
about by combinations. The Ministry were
defeated on the Irish University bill by only 4
majority Of three Many Of the Liberals united
with the Conservatives to produce the result.

Mr.. Morton's report in the Senate on the
Caldwell bribery case declares bluntly and with
out eouivocation that Caldwell was not duly
aud legally elected to the Senate by the Kan
sas legislature. In supporting this report,
Mr.. Morton declared that the testimony was
conclusive to the effect that Caldwell was elect
ed by the use of money and that it was the
most fragrant case Of bribery 10 English or
American politics. The democratic Senators,
it is believed, will very generally vote agaasl
the resolution unseatng Mr.. Caldwell, because
it assumes to cous,rue the laws of the State,

should be the proper form iu which condemns

DOUBLE APPROPRIATIONS In the confu
sion of the last hours of the session and the
quarreliug over the increased pay business, the
legislative and executive appropriation bill. as
fnai:y passed, includes some curious anomalies.
One Of the most striking is that there are two
appropriations made for the salary of the Pres
ideut The usual amount of $4,000 per an
nun was first inserted, and then when the 10
crease was decided on, the appropriation Of
$4,000 for that purpose was also made The
President, it seems, was the first one to notice
this, and called the attention of the committee
on enrolled bills to it when the bill was pre-
sented to him tor his signature. He informed
the committee, however, that be should con
tens himself with drawing the $50 900 and let
the S25 900 remain in tho treasury, and that
when Congress met in Decen Der he would call
its attention to the oversight, and let the
$4,000 be covered back into tie treasury.
Double appropriations are also made for the
officers Of the government whose pay was 10.
creased 1t is to be presumed that they will
follow the example of the President and take
the large sum.-Bak Sun.

a Co operative Association in Hamilton, pro-
perry managed aud cooperative associations 10
every ueghborhcol in Loudoun, would save
for our farmers fifty per cent to the nett re-
coipts from the products Of their labor. The
meetings Of the associations could be made
most agreeable reunions where all questions
affecting the interest of agriculture could be
talked ever and discussed, and useful iuforma-
ticn could thus be gathered, and disseminate

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

Since our last issue of the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE, full returns have been re-
ceived from the November elections. The
vote in all the States was very light, and
owing TO the financial disturbances thou
sands of voters, engrossed deeply in BUSH
ness matters remained at home. AS usual
in the years when there is little excitement
in the canvass, the Republican vote shows
heavier falling of than the opposition.
The result of the elections are briefly as
follows: The Republicans elect the Gov
erhor and Legislature in Massachusetts by
fair but reduced majority. The Repub-
licans also elect the State ticket by fair
majority in Minnesota. In New York
the Democrats elect their State ticket
by 10000 majority, and S. S. Cox goes to
Congress from New York city, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Jane s
Brooks, Democrat. The Republicans how
ever, elect the Legislature, which was the
real bone of contention, thereby securing
an administration Republican to succeed
Beuben L. Fenton, Greeley Republican.
In New Jersey the Republicans elect the
Legislature, having a good majority on
joint ballot. | .f#4
In Mississippi, the Republicans elect
Ames by $1,000 against Senator Alcorn,
boiler. They also carry the Legislature by
a large majority.
The Independent or popular candidate
for Governor in Wisconsin was elected by
about 5000.
A Democratic member of Congress was
chosen, in Michigan, to fill vacancy.
The Democrats elect Gen. Kemper, Gov
ernor of Virginia by large majority, also
their legislative ticket.
In Maryland the State ticket was elected
by the Democrats by about $4,000, also a
Democratic Legislature.

day as sixty days ago. we are informed
by our wholesale merchants, that the sus-
pension of factories has had tendency to
stiffen goods and though for cash liberal
discounts can be had, certain kinds Of
goods are in demand aud some can not be
had. This indicates demand which will
keep the factories at work. One of the
heaviest Fall River manufacturers says:
The bulk of the production Of our mills
is print cloths. 1t is in December that the
printer begins to buy cloth to print his
Spring patterns, and, If confidence is a lit
tie restored, 1 think this year will not
prove to be an exception to the rule. L con-
TESS, myself, that look for revival of
manufacture in December. and | know
that do not stand alone in that opinion.
And will say, moreover, that / consider
our prospects for the coming year to be
most flattering.
