The Next Presidency.

The result Of the late elections has caused
the people to look forward with more than
ordinary interest to the next Presidential
campaign, and calculations as to tho rela-
tive strength of the two great political par
tics are freely made. Should the States
which have gene Democratic this year do
20 in 1876, the election Of Democratic
President would be secured by a very large
majority. The total number Of votes in
the Electoral College is 366, Of which a
majority is ls4-required to elect Presi-
don't and Vice President.
The political complexion Of tho States
this year, with their electoral votes is as
follows.

The DIPRERENcE.-The two parties to
the late political contest are affected very
differently by the result. The Democrats
bear the honors Of their triumph with
humility, and evince kind and concilia-
tory spirit The Republicans, on the
contrary, in so far as their leaders and
organs are concerned, are bitter and vim
dietive, 10 their denunciatious of the
Democratic party, beyond anything that
has occurred since the war. They seem
to cherish towards their opponents an
uurelenting hate, and violate all deeency
in their illusions to them. The spirit of
the Girondins and the Jacobins, in the
furnace-heat Of the French revolution,
could not have been more fierce and i'm
placable, if we are to judge them by what
they say. Let them abate their unwonted
heat, for il will consume only themselves

Thirty-foar employees Of the Boston Custom
House were disc harged on Saturday for re-
trenehment.
Herais another evidence Of the fact that
an army Of official Ieeches have been fed
from the public treasury through political
favoritism. Why has this tardy 1retrench-
mentH been deferred till now? Could not
these government employees have been
dispensed with as well, years ago, and
thus have saved the aggregate amount Of
their salaries to the Treasury. A wise
and proper Administration, in view Of our
large public debt, would have Topped of
these expenditures at once.

city. In very short time 30 pounds of steam
was raised, the engine and separator placed
in position, and the word was given to start.
Several practical FARMERS were present, and
the Company gave the machinery thorough
trial The separator was built by the Taylor
Manufacturing Company, and is SO inch cyl.
inder, and the test was made to find out il u
FIVE horse engine was equal to the work re-
quired. The trial was satisfactory in every
respect, and showed that the engine is just
the one farmers want, not only for thrsshing,
but also for crushing long fodder, dc. In
few years we hope to see the engine take the
place Of the ordinary horse powers, AID our
farmers keep up with the times in all the new
labor saving machinery. We are pleased to
learn that the demand for engines, for agri-
cultural and other purposes, Keeps the Com
