A, West Virginia Ex.COnIedeHate Col.
Onel for the Cabinet.


A correspondent this morning pays his
respects to Col. Ton. SWAMI, of Kama.
wha, who has been put forward as deserv.
ing q Cabinet appointment at the hands
ofPresident GRANT. SO far as the equity
Of tho case Is concerned, "Rusticus" is
right IN claiming that Col. SWAMI has
little claim to recognition as Republi
can. But that is q view Of the case, 1t is
due to truth to say, that does not appear
to enter into the considerations which in
fluence President GRANT in his appoint
ments. The cases where early and con
spicuous Republicans have received i'm
portant positions in his administration arc
neither numerous nor notorious. We
do not know that this is 10 be complained
Of, or that a different line Of policy should
have been expected. Having been but a
recent accession to the Republican party
himself, 1t could not be expected that he
should have any intimate associations
with or attachments for the early Repub'
licans OF the GREELEY, SUMNER or WEN.
DELL PHILLIPS school. Naturally he has
been inclined TO surround himself with
those who more nearly harmonic with
his own school OF politics. Nor does po'
litical service appear 10 be an important
consideration. President GRANT has
warm personal attachments, and is moi
forgetful of favors; and SO the motives
that ordinarily influence political appoint.
menls very frequently fail to account fol
his. We do not say that President
GRANT is ignorant of the early struggles
OF Republicanism in West Virginia, mol
Indifferent to them; yet if any West
VirginiA Republican who voted for LIN
COLIN in 1860 has received any important
appointment at his hands In tho State OF
out OF it, we do not now recall 1t. We
may add that President GRANT as dis
covercr Of obscure men Is quite equal tC
STANLEY as on explorer; and it would be
less strange to SEQ him appoint Col
SWAMI to his cabinet than Mr.. CAMP
BELL. Why not, when we recall BoRIE
RoGEsoN and AKENMAN? But Of course
all this talk about Col. SWAMI is only O
joke. Although the Colonel IS distantly
related to the President, we do not sup
pose the Colonel himself cherishes any
such expectations, and those who have
dragged him forward in such an attitude
are to blame il they expose him TO the
unpleasant criticism which such con
spicuity invites.

ONE OF THE SEVEN SLEEPERs.-On
Tuesday morning last, Jas. Q. Merritt, an
attscho OF the National Hotel, Of this
place, who was kept up TO a late hour
waiting on guests, concluded not to go to
bed, but laid down before the parlor fire
with two comforts over him and his coat
for pillow. About 6 o'clock he was
awakened with fire all around him, and
almost suffucatcd with smoke. The two
comforts were nearly all consumed, with
tho oil.cloth rug, and hole in the carpet,
His stockings, which were on his feet,
were burned, also holes in his shirt and in
the coat under his head. So dense was
the smoke that he says he fell with sutFo-
cation two or three times before he got
out Of the room. 1t is supposed that fire
flew from the crate, as he was lying three
feet from it,-&. ClairseilIe Gazette.

In the Press of last week. found the result
of our town election. and was highly gratiled
that the Democratic Conservative ticket was

was presented, and the voters sanctioned and
approved the action ofthat meeting, by elect
ing all on it but one, which result is gen
orally satisfactory as well as gratifying.
Now. there is lesson taught by this result
which, it is to be Hoped, will be profitable
unto some Of our Democratic friends. IL is
witL gegret that mention the fact, that are
Democrats, in Van Buren,, who seem to think
judging from their action. that they have a
bill Of sale of the Democratic party. And
they assume to be the leaders ofthe party.and

highest, i, to holden, they go Mt work ener-
getically to control the nominating conveH-
ton, In order TO nominate Their favorites, who
are not unlrequently without merit. And
too often do they succeed in banboozlng the
unsophistcatcd masses and foisling their pets
on them and thus render the convention
grand farce. But haply they were thwarted
and ignored in the late town election. Cen

vice In 4Esop: a fly on the axle of a chariot

TIE DRY.GOODS TRADE.
New York, Nov. 10


The story is currontrin business circles
and is very generally believed, that the
intense rivalry which has so long existed
between the two greatest dry goods
houses in the United States, A. L Stew
art ~ Co and II. b Clahin & Co., has at
last broken out into something very like
an op.n fight 1t will be remembered
that, after Clalin & Co. made their ar
rangements for an extension, they adver-
tised their stock Of goods, valued at So,
000, 600, at special sale, beginning to day,
at such reduction as would enable them
to close out lhe lot within thirty DAYS. 1t
is said that Messrs. A. L. Stewart ~ Co.
(thc information coming indirectly from
q prominent cmploys Of theirs have re
solved to reduce their retail prices to con
form to the wholesale rates of Claam d
Co. Whether or not this is true, their
advertisement certainly reads their goods
will be sold at prices that cannot be
equaled IN the market.
THE COMPETITION BETWEEN THE TWO
HOUSES
May be exaggerated, but at all events it
will have the effect Of enabling the peo-
pie to buy at low prices, and also the
bad result Of crushing numerous retail
dealers between the upper and under
mill stones Of the trade. This, too, is
said to be in accordance wth t. cir long
established policy OF undersclling all com
petitors, to the end that they may gain a
complete monopoly of the market,
