A NOTABLE letter appears in the New
York Tribune of Saturday over the sigma.
ture of ga Dozen Liberals dated in Ohio,
which takes the independent papers to do for
"frittering away their influence upon impos.
sbilities" in the matter of the Republican
nominee for the Presidency. 'Mr. Bristow
and Mr.. Adams are not candidates and it is
futile to waste honest breath in screaming for
them," says the writer, Sand the fight is be.
tween Blaine, the representative of the better
kind Of practical Republicans and the Grant
faction with its hydra-heads of Morton,
Conkling and Cameron" The writer asserts
that in that section there are two parties in
the field, one composed of the friends of Mr..
Blaine who are the sincere, honest portion OF
the Republican organization, and the other
the wire-rulle1s and office-seekers.

opposed to reviving sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing
all the constitutional rights of every tzen includ

without intimidation and without fraud; who are in
favor of the continued prosecution and punishment
OF all official dishonesty, and an economical admins

What it Teaches.

Sad and shameful as the Belk nap business
is the people of this country are not disposed
to treat it with levity, nor can they bring
themselves to believe because one man has
fallen into crime that other men, whom the v
have loved and trusted for years, ale dis
honest and corrupt. The vague accusations
which are brought, without shadow of rea-
son, against men high in station to whom no
suspicion reasonably attaches, disgust the
great body of our citizens. Their pride is
touched, their indignation aroused, their sense
of fair-play outraged, and they eagerly en-
brace the first opportunity to rebuke the scan
dal mongers. The election on Monday in
this city goes to show the state of feeling.
The Democrats were unrestrained in their
exultation over national disgrace, and were
loud in their cries of joy at the shame which
had fallen upon the country. They clearly
showed that they were pleased at the crime
of Belknap because of the party advantage it
gave them. People revolted at the display of
so great malgnity, at the want of even
decent appearance of regret at the stain
which had come upon the national name
Republicans, who had a far deeper feeling of
sorrow at the dreadful exposure than any
Democrat felt or showed, were indignant
that the sins of one man should be visited
upon the great party 70 which the Union
owes its salvation, a party to which their
best service has been given and in the achieve
ment, Of which they feel large and hon.
est pride. The injustice of the attacks
made upon it stung them to the quick
and they fastened to show that their
loyalty had not abated a jot. They were
justly indignant too to see coupled with
the fallen Secretary the name of statesman
against whose integrity not the slightest evl-
dence holds, man whom the state of Maine
delights to honor, and in whose great and
growing reputation every high-minded citizen
takes pride. There is no need, evidently,
that he whose name is above shadow of re-.
proach should pay attention to the ours that
snarl at his heels, for the people will drive the
whole pack back to their kennels.
1t is evident that the people do not hold
the Republican party responsible for the crime
OF Mr.. Belknap. A party which has never
let fraud go unexposed for the sake of
shielding its leaders, which has not hesitated
to trace the plunder of credit mobilier to the
pockets of a president, which has brought
to light the great villainies of the whiskey
ring, which is showing its determination to
speedily punish the guilty Secretary, cannot
justly be charged with upholding corruption.
People plainly see that the wickedness of one
man, or score of men, has not changed the
issues which divide the two great parties. and
they realize as wildly as ever before the dan
ger of entrusting the country to the control
of the Demo

THE swarm of bees which the Argus let

account for its insinuations it would "squawk'

Toughonea Glass.


London Times.l l4ll
Notwithstanding the efforts of
several English glass manufactu-
rers to produce toughened glass at
their works, they do not appear to
have SO completely effected their
object as to be able to supply the
market with articles made of that
material. A certain amount Of
success has undoubtedly been
achieved, but there would appear
to be some detail Of the process
which has not yet been quite mas
tered, and the result is that the pro
duce is not so uniform in quality
as it must certainly be before it can
assume commercial position. On
the other hand, M. de la Bastie, its
inventor, has succeeded in estab-
| fishing the manufacture of tough
ened glass in France, and is able to
supply English houses with articles
for domestic use made Of that sin
gular material, including that great
! desideratum, lamp glasses. The
first to avail himself Of this cir
cumstance is Mr.. John Mortlock
of 2O3 Oxford street, who mus
certainly take credit for haying in
troduced toughened glass into Eng
land as an article of commerce

mems of the ware, consisting O
