WEST GOSHEN, Nov. 1, 1875.
 0r. Editor A correspondent in your paper of the 2sth ult tells us that on the Sunday before. tie Rev. Mir. Morse gave the names of eighteen ministers who were natives of Goshen, and the paragraph con- cludes with an editorial interpolation of the query, whether ''morc godliness has not gone out of Goshen than IS left in it?' This will be an excellent opening question for discussion in Goshen Debating So- ciety, when we get one but, in the mean time, the inquiry arises what we have contributed to the medical and legal pro. fesssions. If the writer's investigations are not incorrect, there have been four doctors who were natives of the town, Dr. Edward Sanford. of West Cornwall, and three others. named North,we understand. Of attorneys there have been five. Also four judges, of whom two were attorneys and two were not. One, Daniel s. Dickinson, became U. s. Senator for the state of New York, and was the principal competitor with Franklin Pierce for the Democratic nomination to the presidency of the Uni ted States. Ruggles Gould, the first at. torney in the town, removed to the state of N. r., and subsequently, went thence to Congress. One became judge of the Su- perior Court for the state of Ohio.
 At home the judicial position seems by no means favorite one. One of our representatives made an unsuccessful attempt at the last session of our legislature to reduce the salaries of Superior Court judges, while, If a member of the party now dominant in town politics should accept the position of magistrate on being elected. 1t would be an exception to the general rule. We would not hint that these gentlemen's dis trust of their abilities is we'll founded. but only refer to it to show that Modesty, if not Godliness, ,abounds among us.

The useof carpetiugs may be traced to q very remote period. although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Eu. rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car. pct "eaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet O., of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in thiS Country. Mcssrs.

The PeiitIcaI Elections.

The November elections were, we con. fess, a surprise to us. We had no idea the Imitation blunder of the Ohio democ- racy. and the defeat which followed it. would drive back their whole line of bat tie as it has done. Massachusetts, NeN York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Kausas-every Northern state in which October or November elections have been held this fall-have chosen Republican legislatures. New York. indeed, gives about 5000 Democratic majority on the popular vote, and Wisconsin elects a Democratic State Treasurer, but the gen. sral result is great reaction from last year. when New York gave 5000 Demo cratic majority on the State ticket, and Ohio. Pennsylvania. and New York elected Democratic legislatures.
 Had the presidential election come of this year, recent votes indicate that the following would have been the result:
