The Number of Type i'm a Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an article
on chow mistakes are made in newspa-
per" figures up the number of types in a
newspaper of the size of the Eagle at
100000, l. e., the actual number of bits
Of metal arranged and re-arranged every
day in preparing a newspaper of that size
for the press. We suppose people do
not think of the printing trade as one of
the most exact and particular of all the
handicrafts, but it is In making type,
variations that might be allowed in the
finest machinery would render the type
useless. 1t is very rarely that type fur
nished by two separate founderies can be
used together without great deal of
trouble, although they try to make it af-
ter the same standard We read once in
while of wonderful piece of cabinet
work, or mosaic work, containing ten,
twenty or a thousand pieces, the maker of
which has spent months, or even years in
producing it, and people go to see it as
great curiosity, but the most elaborate and
carefully fitted piece of work of this kind
does not compare with that which the
printer does every day, for minuteness of
detail and accuracy in fitting The man
who does the first is looked upon as an
artist-a marvel of skill, and if hundred
of his pieces are put in wrong side up or
turned the wrong way, it is not observed
in the general effect-but if the printer,
L.
gether in single day, puts one where an
other should be, or turns one the wrong
way, everybody sees it, and is amazed at
'the stupid carelessness of those print

THE OLD REBEL SPIRIT.

The same old spirit of secession that
characterized many of the Southern lead
ers before the war, is again cropping out in
many sections of the South. Instead of
endeavoring to bind up the broken wounds,
as some of the prominent men of that
section of country who were engaged in
the rebellion have honestly and faithfully
striven to do since the close of the war,
there are those who are still rampant up
on the issues that brought on the fratri-
cidal strife. One of these fanatics is the
redoubtable Gen. b. Ii. Hill who in re-
cent speech at Athens, Ga, filled with the
frey elements of pro-slavery days, thus
concludes his address:
The South has done nothing to be
ashamed of. She has never been faith
less to the Constitution There has nev-
er been an hour when she was not salts
fled with the Union according to the Con-
stitution. She has seeded solely because
the North was faithless to that Constitu-
ton; and while secession was abandoned
and slavery was abolished, and while we
submitted to all laws, right or wrong, it
was well for the northern people to un-
derstand that any Union, in fact, not ac-
cording to the Constitution was a Union
of force, and would never be Union of
consent. Therew was just causefor hundred
wars Of reconstruction, and we would
not be entitled to the respect of mankind,
or of our own children. IF we were TO
furnish any reason for submitting to it ex'
cept that of hopelesness. A Uniou ac-
cording to the Constitution-the same in
all respects for Georgia and Massachu-
setts-we of the South would consent to
live in, glory in, and die for. But Union
which makes Massachusetts, a master and
Georgia vassal we will never consent to,
and only submit to while we are power
| less"

The following, from the Fl Dodge
Messenger, shows up some of the beau
ties of pro-rata legislation: by reason
of competition with the Central Road,
their coal was delivered at eighty-fve cents
per ton from Moingona. Now it is one
dollar per ton, all of which the consumer
has to pay Wheat is carried from river
to river-three hundred and fifty-fve
miles-at twenty-one and a half cents
per bushel, and coal at thirty dollars and
thirty cents per car. The harvest of
1874 will be carried under the Iowa law
to the river at Clinton, and through Hi
nois to Chicago, under the rates there es-
tablished, causing large increase in the
rate as compared with the through rate of
last year, estimated as high as eight
cents per pushel Our local rates are re-
duced, but the local traffic is small item
compared with the immense volume of
grain the farmers of Iowa will ship. In
the end we shall learn that the law, while
it cheapens our local rates, increases the
through rates to such an extent that we
shall groan under its exactions more dolo-
rously than before Of such is pro-rata
legislation"

The Knoxville Journal

The Newton Independent recently ut
tered charge against Judge Winslow,
for mean political purpose, saying:
He has invested many hundreds of dol
lars in the Republican and Free Press
consolidation for the simple purpose of
owning personal organ. The RepuJli-
can and Free Press pronounces this a
falsehood, and says:
Judge Winslow does not own the in
terest of dollar in this office, nor has he
claim against it for cent
There are not more than three editors
in the State of Iowa who were unscrupu-
lous as to means in political campaign
than Clark, Of the Independent. BY
these names are they known: John Pre-
yarication Irish, Monroe Guile Carleton
and John Licentious Mccormack. Bet
ter give it up, Clark; you can't eclipse
this trio in falsehood.

HOW HAS III PAID 4!
From Knoxville Journal.

Some months ago there were 1900
oranges in Iowa. Suppose there were fif-
ty members to each grange Some of
these paid an initiation fee of five dollars
and some less. Take three dollars as
the average fee Multiply 1,sOO by so
and we have 10000 members of the or
der in Iowa Three times this number
will give the amount in dollars paid for
membership. This we find to be 1910
600 Take 90 months as the average
time each has been a member; then each
has paid - in dues at 10 cents per
month Add this to the above amount
and we have S45O,OOO paid in cash by
the farmers of Iowa to establish the or
der of Patrons of Husbandry and keep it
running 20 months But this is not all
they have paid We have counted moth
ing for regalia, and other appurtenances;
and nothing for time spent in attending
grange meetings, even to the neglect of
work These items would increase the
cost to the farmers of Iowa to at least
one million dollars.
Now, who can tell where the money
has gone? Whose pockets are plethoric
with from quarter to half million of
greenbacks, gathered in" by means of
this great Farmers Movement, this up
rising against monopolies, this war for the
protection of farmers from robbery, this
fight against railroads, against merchants,
against "middle-men,' in fact against every
class but farmers, and really against farm
ers themselves? Who have pocketed the
dollars as result of all this wonderful
commotion? What are the results which
may now be figured up? A few men
have been placed in official places who
could not otherwise have been elected; but
what of that? Have the people, have
the farmers themselves as class been
benefited by exchanging few county and
township officers? AS the wealth,
growth, happiness, peace and general well
fare OF the country been promoted by the
checking of all railroad building and 9th
er internal Improvements? Has the in
crease of freight rates on corn, wheat.
hogs and cattle to Chicago enhanced the
farmers profit? Have his markets been
improved by stopping the growth oftowns
and cities in the States? Are his taxes
any lower than hitherto? Have polite
ians been made any more honest? I'm
short what and where are the good re-
suits of all this vast expenditure of cash
and clatter? Who can give us the sum-
ming-up?

Congress and in many of the state legisla-
lures this party has accomplished more
in the way of restricting the power and
correcting the abuses of monopolies than
any new party could hope to do. Its
principles are unassailable; its ticket is

From Bloomfield Republican.

Z. N. Gates addressed respectable
audience in this city on Saturday last,
and succeeded in convincing a large por.
ton of his audience that he would make
a very small Congressman A large por-
tion of those who listened to him were
Republicans, and so far as we have heard
he has succeeded in making every one a
firm Sampson man. If Gates does as
well all over the District as he did here,
Sampson will have a large majority. The
only trouble is very few people come out
to hear him.

The Centerville Citizen in reply to the
Standards article of three weeks since,
says:
We have no inclination to enter into
war of words with Carleton In fact we
have no idea we could compete with him
in the use of slang phrases and even If
we could, our victory would be less hon.
orable than defeat. As to wearing the ring
in our nasal organ and supporting Samp-
son, we can say in all truth and candor
that in our judgment he is the best man
in the district for the office of Represen-
tative in Congress. Why desrise the
means, when the end is the thing to be
desired?

Meeting of the Committee.

Beecl ers investigating committee resumed
session again this evening at 81 Munroe
Place. Two witnesses were examined, a lady
and gentleman whose names could not be as
certained. After leaving the committee
room they proceeded to al State street,
which they entered. brass plate on the
door of the house bore the name of Celton.
About half an hour after these Witnesses
came out the committee adjourned. They
were reticent as ever and could give no idea
how much longer the investigation would
last, nor the number of witnesses yet to be
examined.
Moulton's statement was not given to the
press, nor could it be ascertained when it
would be given. Several members of the
committee hazarded an opinion it would not
be made public until printed with full report
of the committee. Moulton was at his house
in Remsen street all evening, but refused
audience with every visitor, and answered all
questions sent him by note with simple reply,

About p. M. he went into the poor debtors
