Either the sixty thousand Republican
voters who stayed at home and allowed
Governor Dix to be beaten last Novem-
ber. have come to the polls this year and
voted the party ticket, or thirty thous-
and of the people who voted for Cover
nor Tilden last fall have changed their
minds about the beauties of Democrat
ic "reform."-N. Y. Times.
The result in New York is unexpect-
ed and unfortunate and dlscouraglng
enough, but hardly surprising. In his
war on public plunderers, Governor
Tilden has known neither friend nor foe
neither Democrat nor Republican. AS
a necessary consequence he has earned
the implacable resentment of some OF the
most powerful politicians of his own
party-men who, in past years, nave
been in the habit of working and spend
ing money and organizing victory

election of CASTOR last year was i'll nc

the ordinary strength of the Democratic
party was given in his support this year,
and yet he was left very decidedly in a
minority. Though the Republicans who
voted for him year ago largely with
drew tlleir support, there were some
who were won by the Lib erals on the

has been a good enough Governor, and
there were no very strong reasons foI

ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The 23d of January next is the limit
OF the time fixed by Congress for the
completion of the work of the Court
OF Commissioners of Alabama Claims,
Which is now in session In Washington.
30 far 500 cases have been disposed of,
and judgments have been awarded TO
the amount of $1,700,000, with interest
amounting to more than 1856, 600 One
hundred and thirty claims have been
disallowed or dismissed, by which the
government has saved about So, 225, 900.
1t Is not believed that the court will be
able to complete its work in the time
allowed by Congress, and another effort
will be made, doubtless, to force an
opening for insurance claims. The Re
publican majority in Congress has here
tofore prevented the success of the Jobs
which these insurance claims involve,
and we hope the Democratic majority
will do as well when its Wanted oppo-
sition to jobs is put to the test. All
sorts of claims have been presented in
this court, some of them very curious
ones, and some admirable instances of
pure patriotism and personal bravery
have come out in the courselof examin-
Ing claims.

a whaler called the Favorite, was or.

you out of water, said the officer.

eternally blasted if l haul down that

The commander of the Shenandoah ad-

that he did not fire shot at the craft,
but brought him and his crew off |
through an armed boats crew.

Late Dairy Markets.


Tho trade upon the Utica market
Monday was similar to that one week
ago. The offerings was 9. 1000 boxes, and
there was one sale at 19c. The small
transaction of the day is partly explain
able. AS was anticipated, the closeness
of election day detracted from the inter
est in cheese. This, coupled with the
wretched condition of the roads through
the heavy snow, may account for the
small attendance Of the statesmen. The
broken character which will mark cleo
ton week in trade centers, added to the
dizziness of the special demand for
cheese, restrained buyers orders, and
they hadno basis upon which to operate.
The result was above described. Aside
from few consiguments, the week in
Utica VIII show nothing in cheese.
a better day may be expected next
Monday. Statesmen are anxious as to
what policy to adopt with their late
cheese, and there viii probably be a
good attendance. Buyers will doubtless

their ability and willingness TO trade.
There is still large amount of desirable
cheese in the country, and we kelieye
the present is a good time to buy it.
The heavy snow, which has covered
the whole dairy region of Central New
York south of the northern counties,
will exert marked effect upon the |
milk receipts of the factories. Patrons
will generally begin at once to make
sure OF their winter supply of butter.
The coming of the snow necessitates the
beginning of fodderiDg in earnest. and
he shrinkage OF the milk will act i'm
nediately upon the fall make of cheese.
