A Saratoga correspondent, writing
August 9, gives the following as charac.
terislic of Tilden's mode OF writing for
the press:
l have it on good authority that Til
denis letter has been IN print nearly a
week, and he has spent all this time in
making changes iu It's phraseology-
scratching ouG words here and there,
and otherwise changing
the document. This is his habit,
as every newspaper man knows who
has mad anything to do with him
during the last fifteen years. His first
message 10 the Legislature, in January,
1875, was sent back and forward from
the printing office to the Executive Man.
sion for correction ana alteration twen-
ty-three times, after it had been printed
in slips, before he got it ready to trans.
nit to the Legislature, and 1t was on y
sent in then because it was Impossible
to delay it any longer. The Lord only
knows how long it would take him to
write an annual Message if he should
ever be made President. He never
would do it in one term, and that is pro-
badly the reason why he omitted the
some. term" principle when he indited
the Democratic platform.

THE experiments with the eighty-ton
gun at Woolwich [England) have shown
the capacity of that monster cannon to
hurl shot, weighing three quarters Of
a ton, impelled by charge OF three hun.
dred pounds of powder, with such ter.
rife Iorce as to pierce the iron plates
tagO feet thick upon a vessel five hundred
yards distant. The defensive plated
armor of ships is thus met by increased
force in gunnery so as to keep the rela.
tive powers of attack and resistance at
about the same ratio. The plating has
now become so enormously heavy and
cumbrous as to have reached the maxi
mum of flotatlon; of course it can no fur
ther go. And at this extreme limit OF
armor, the improved gunnery evidently
has the advantage.

made about as good ticket as could be
made out Of the material before it; and
that ought to satisfy the party. The

Cincinnati Ham Trade,

We have read IN some good book that
"a good name is better than great
riches" We had supposed that our
Cincinnati pork merchants had long ago
secured the good name which has been
followed by great riches. Throughout
America, and in Europe, their good
name and fame had widely spread
Even in Asia, in far off China. we
happen to know that Cincinnati
hams, and Cincinnati smoked beef,
and Cincinnati whisky, and Cincinnati
lager beer, were accounted the Sunlll1tnl
bOnanl OF good things in their line. EV-
erywhere, the Cincinnati brand was
deemed the noplaS ultra of excellence as
to such commodities. And it was a
good name worthily won for our city
that gave us pride and pleasure to wit
ness.
But now cloud comes over this
brightness that we regret to notice. This
cloud rises in France, and though it may
now be no bigger than a mans hand,
there is danger of its spreading into
harmful dimensions. Frenchmen, who
eat frogs with great gusto, and devour
mushrooms with impunity, now claim
that they are poisoned by eating Cincin-
natl hams. To be sure, we who here eat
them daily and cry for more have never
experienced any trouble OF the kind so
clamorously complained of by the
French.
This complaint reaches us after this
wise: A Professor Bouchardat. of Par
is, who is member OF body known as
the French Council OF Hygiene and Sa-
lubrity, has submitted report to the
Partisan Prerect OF Police that certain
preserved meats imported thither from
foreign countries had been found to con-
tain unwholesome and poisonous sub
stances. Among other things, this Pro-
fessor Bouchardat states particularly
that sin a specimen Of ham, said TO be
Imported from CINCINNATI, the ham was
snveloped in a cloth saturated with a
yellow substance, which, on analysis,
was found to be composed of the chro-
mate of lead, most deadly poison"
such is the statement made by this
French chemist. 1t is a formidable ar
raignment ofour city's staple of "hog
product" The practical result of this
statement has been that, as the account
says, "by decree of the Partisan po-
lice, the substances SO enyeloped were
seized, condemned as unwholesome, and
buried under ground; and future sup
plies OF like kind are to be treated in a
bimilar manner"
Now it may possibly be that these
hams, which this Frenchman found so
deadly, never came from Cincinnati at
ali; that some unprineipled charlatan or
Ignoramus may have stolen the Cincin-
natl trademark in order to dispose OF
some unwbolesome hams that could not
otherwise be marketed. Such things have
happened in Europe to our certain
knowledge.
Furthermore, it is not intended nor
presumed by our Cincinnati pork-pack.
ers that their customers are going to eat
the enyelop Of the hams sent to market
in any case. And even if French cook
cry, which ut liz S almost everything in
the air and on the earth and in the
waters under the earth, should choose
to utilize the "yellow cloth" cover

For the Ladies.

Miss Grundy in New York Graphicl
Small waists are evidently considered
by majority of the Saratoga bellies as
the great desideratum, and the old story
OF tying the cOrset-lacer to the bed-post
and walking rapidlyaway with the other
end attached to the corset, is revived in
descriptions of the art of getting up
fashionable damsel. L doubt this, chiefly
because beds DO not have posts at water
lng-place hotels now, and the average
belle possesses sufficient avOlrdupois to
wrench the knobs from doors or pieces
of furniture if she atte mpted the above
described maneuVer by using the handles
ms cad OF the beG-posts. On The other
hand, l know several ladies here who
have discarded corsets altogether for
the dress-relOrm waists, Last winter in
Washington L thought there was re-
vulslOn in favor of natural waists, for a
dealer in corsets told me that she sus-
pected some other customers ofpadding
their waists, because they insisted on
having their measures taken for corsets
Two inches larger than they had ever
before worn. l think the women who
strive to reduce their waists must do so
ON the same principle which animated
her who declared that she did not dress
to please the men, but to torment other
women, for nave yet to meet one man
who acknowledges to an admiration tor
small waists.

"How about Florida ?" writes a
correspondent. "The supreme court
of that stale has ordered a new count.
What effect may that have on the
electoral vote " None at all. we
answer. We do not suppose the
eonrt, or any any one acting with
the judges, suppose the electoral
vote can be disturbed. The effort
is probably directed alone to the
State offices. There are no electors
DOW. Their Office, their official life
has expired. The law declares
when they shall be elected and when
their votes shall be cast, and the
-elecior then being functus oficio,
there lie no power to re-establish
his Office or revive his vote. The
vote of Florida, in due form, is on
file infhe Office of the Sec'Y of the
Senate. You may as we'll talk of
getting an order from the New
York courts directing q new count
for electors in that State because
Democratic frauds are reported in
the metropolis, as to talk of chang
ing the vote Of Florida. Let no one
worry about this fresh attempt to
defeat the will Of the people. The
Democratic party was given album
dsnt chance to contest the election
in Florida, and did contest it. They
sent their best lawyers and their
most scrupulous traders, supplied
them with abundant means from the
celebrated "bar'l," into every dis
puted Southern State. They did
their best and they were beaten.
It's too late now to plead negligence
or, stupidity on their part. The
vote of Florida is in. It will be
opened on the second Wednesday
In February. "And," in the words
Of the Constitution, sit shall then
be coultej."-Inter-Ocean.

The ElorIdsa ease.

Gen. F. G. Barlow explains by letter
certain points of his recent report on
the Florida election which were not
quite clear. He says that the total
vote on the face of the returns Was
Hayes, 24,327; Tilden, 24,2S7. Ger
tain additions and deductions were
agreed on unanimously by the board,
which left it-Hayea, 4,2S7; Til5en,
24,43s. Gen. Barlow concurs In the
throwing out of Archer No. 2, Friend
ship, Church, and Completion Pre-
cincts, which left the vote-TiIden, "a
O02; Hayes, 23,947, or a majority for
Tilden of 30. He approves other
small changes, but says he is in doubt
about the throwing out Of Jasper Pre-
cinct In Hamilton County, with its 323
Democratic and 1s5 Republican votes.
he does not know of what party the
inspectors of election were, and Is In
doubt, therefore, how to estimate the
value of the afldavits. If this pre-
cinct be rejected, he says, the Repub-
licans have majority; otherwise, not.
From Gen. BarlOw's point of view,
therefore, Florida is q very doubtful
state, and President Ferry has
refused to receive either the Hayes or
the Tilden vote as the correct one. 1t
will be fine bone for the Senate and
House to gnaw upon.

Mr. Corbin, the new Senator from
Sonth Carolina. is generally conceded
to be an honest, able and popular nan.
However, az he has resided In South
Carolina for only eleven years, he may
yet be charged with being a carpet
Dagger. The cry down there among
the Democrats is that no man who
was not bonn in the State, should be
allowed to fill any official position.
An objection is made to South Caro-
linian, who was born while his mother
was OH visit to Philadelphia, that
she did not return with the boy to her
native State as soon as possible after
the event. The gentleman himself
thinks it Is little hard now that he Is
= man, that the Circumstance .sEoold
be remembered against him, as be was
not able to advise his mother of the
danger of staying in PhnadelphIa till
he was two months old.

The Albany Evening Journal makes
this sensible suggestion in regard to
the result of any attempt to declare
Tllden President by a vote of the
Democrats in the House,:
But suppose the House claims the
right TO throw out Louisiana whether
the Senate concurs or not; suppose it
insists that no election has been effect
ed and proceeds TO elect Mr.. Tilden-
what then? This Is the extreme case /;
it Is revolution; 1t Is disregard of law
and an attempt TO set up a revolution
AIRY government. The House is not
likely TO be so rash and foolish as to
try IT, But If It did the performance
would be impotent. No President
can do anything uHless he is recognize
ed by the Senate. He cannot take
the first step toward an administration.
He cannoG even appoint a cabinet
without the Senate's confirmation.
Mr.. rilden might go through the form
of nominating-the Senate would not
receive his communication. He might
pretend to call Congress together in
extra session-the Senate would pay
no heed. In order to carry out this
scheme, it would be necessary to revo-
lutiOniZe the Senate as well as the
presidency. The game will not be
tried. The matter will tba peacefully
and rightly settled.

Changed From.

That nice s'holier than thou"sheet,
the New York Notion, has rather
changed front. A few DAYS ago it
urged Hayes to give up the election
to Tilden, because it thought fraud
had been committed by Republi-
cans. 1t went so far as to sigh for
some Republican elector who was
bold enough to betray his trust and
vote for TiIden. Hear it now:
In fact, there is only one course
open to u in. the matter, and that is
TO let the States manage their own
election, and accept the result as
they give il. We cannot make
State governments better than the
population of the State want to have
them.
The article concludes with:
Ii seems to us that the only sound
course now is TO stop Quibbling and
chOpping logic, to accept the South.
ern figures, however bedeviled, aud
inaugurate Hayes in The interest of
peace and quiet, and for the better
preservation of constitutional form.

The railway kings, Scott and

compromised on plan which they
believe will insure the building of
the Texas Pacific Railroad, and with
it's connection with the Southern
Pacific, now building in Southeast
California, form q new line OF rail-
way to the Pacific Ocean. The de-
tails of this agreement are quite
vOluminous, but are based on a
proposition that the Texas Pacific
shall build 100 miles west of 81
PAso, aud that the Southern Pacific
shall build east over the Sierra Ne
vAdA range, through the pass ofSan
Gorgonia, from the point of connec-
ton. Freight aud passenger rates
are to be pro rated, aud the line IL
to be. practically, one through line.

sion OF Congress is to be SO changed
that the government will be asked
to guarantee the interest on the first

pany, and TO exercise absolute
control whenever it deems Il
