Elaine Denounced as "An Ambitious
MARRIOTT"
From the NeV York Herald.

1t is too late in the day to rake open the
decaying animosities of the late war with
personal or political profit to any disturber
of the kindly feeling between the north and
the south. 1t is absurd to the degree of
being ridiculous for any same man to affect
to think that it makes any sort of differ
ence to any public interest whether Mr.
Jefferson Davis is relieved or not relieved
from his political disabilities, There is no
chance of his election or appointment 70
any federal Office, and even If he could
have such chances after an act of amnesty
it is impossible to see what harm he could
do or would have any temptation to do
moro than any other ex-robel in a public
trust. The treatment Of the prisoners at
Andersonville is question which belongs
to history and not to politics. 1t is a
dozen years too late for remedy, and it is
better that it should be buried out of sight
with the other unpleasant and irritating
events of the war. There is nothing which
the liberal and generous public feeling OF
the country is so little disposed to tolerate
as the gratuitous tearing open of old wounds
in the interest of political ambition.
Mr.. Blaine, to use a common phrase,
does not understand his epoch" He
forgets that this is the centennial year, and
that the presidential contest, in which he
hopes to be a candidate, will be deeply
colored by patriotic feelings and by senti-
ments Of generous fraternity like those
so applaudingly manifested at the Gen.
tennial celebration of the battle of Bunker
Hill, when the gallant and chivalrous
southern regiments from Richmond and
Charleston were greeted with warmer
welcome and received more distin
guished marks of hospitality than any
OF the other participants in that affecting
tribute to. the memory of the patriotic
dead. MIR. Blaine is not ouly out of har-
mony with the magnanimous sentiment Of
New England as manifested on that deeply
interesting occasion, but he is equally out Of
harmony with the patriotic sentiment of his
native state Of Pennsylvania, on whose sup.
port he has heretofore counted in his presi
dental aspirations. The state of his birth
aud the section of his adoption alike repu.
olate his wanton attempt to rip up old
sores and prevent the.cordial determination
OF the north and the south in this cen
te nnial year. His Pennsylvania friend.
will be appalled, at his blunder and will
withdraw their confidence from so indjs
Greet and reckless man. When ths
appropriation for their great exposition
was on the very edge of success he ha.
put it in peril and dealt it more deadl,
blow than it was in the power of all its othel
opponents to inhict. The Pennsylvaians
and, indeed, the whole country, have beer
counting and inviting an ''era of gooc
feeling In connection with the centennia
exposition. 1t has been the hope of al
magnanimous citizens that all the uppleas
ant memories Of the civil war would b,
buried deeper than ever plumme
sounded" in the proud and exultan
patriotism OF the centennial year. Ant

The Mutations Of Trade,

Under this caption the Boston Advertiser
shows the rise and fall Of the Calcutta trade
at that port. Originally this trade belonged
70 Salem. Between 1880 and 1870 it was
transferred to Boston. 10 1857 it reached its
coulminating point During that year SO ships
with 900 tons of freight arrived at that
port The arrivals Of late average about q
dozen cargoes only. the trade being chiefly
diverted to New York, and the character OF
the cargoes have also undergone q great
change.
No gunnies are now imported, but the
nav jute for manufacture into covering for cot
ton and other uses is. Many OF the articles
once imported from Calcutta are superseded
among them is lao dye. Once this was great
article Of import, used in dyeing woolens and
h4nnelsy bat now it IL not used at all. Salt
petre 10 not imported in large quantities The
trade has mainly passed from the hands of
the old houses into the controlling power and
command of Greek merchants, aud all their
influence in the future will be directed in
favor OF New York.
