tertain the proposal at all affords some
promise of peace. Perhaps the Turks discern
at length that Russia is in earnest and that
they cannot cope with her. Their inability to
recognize these fact, hitherto has been the
great obstacle to a durable peace.

In Spain, the Republican spirit still lives.
The arrest of nearly a score of generals for

even the army-the bulwark of royal power

The Republican County Convention adjourned
last night until Monday without making any
nominations. The feeling seemed TO be favor

Green as the only available Reform Democrat.
Mr.. Tilden's distrust of the Tammany Hall
General Committee, which brought about
caucus of commlseratiOn as well as cOnsulta-
ton at bis house on Tuesday night, is very
natural. whole city full of respectable peo-

No better guarantee could be given OF the
fairness and truth of Gov. ChambeTlain's state
ment which we printed yesterday, than the
fact that prominent Democrats have appealed
to him to-day to insure fair election III
Charleston County by the presence OF troops.
Gov. Chamberlain's letter III reply promises
iull impartiality in all his official acts ana
gives his pledge of peaceful ana honest
election. if it be within his power. The De-
mocracy can surely ask nothing more than
fhis. for if Wade Hampton is the choice OF a
majority of the people of South Carolina as
they would have us believe, free and uh-
molcsted ballot is the very best means OF as
certalning that fact The prevailing eNcl'e-
ment in that State on the subject Is 1urther
attested by an address from all the bishops,
nromipcnt clergymen. and business men OF
Charleston protesting the loyalty and iair-

Mr.. Tweed ought TO have been here in time
to give a few hints from long experience
about the management of the last two days
registration. He lied Sept. %, and it was
thought that at that time the Franklin ought
to arrive not later than the 25th inst.-yestcr-
day,-and might even get here a week before.
He is hourly expected, and there can be no
question that the Reform Democracy can have
the benefit of his sage counsel on the night
after election. 1t was the night after that he
used to be ut his greatest and best.

El indigo es una hermosa materia
colorante que Sc extrae de las plantas

tado de f9cula verde contenida en- ell
tegido cellular y parenquimatoso de

ia que constituye el indigo 8 anal del

nea, pues contiene ell principle esen-
cial del color azul 8 indigotina, EN-
cantidad muy variable. Segun Reg

solamente de As a so por 100 de in-
digotina, y ell resto Sc compone de

A Co-opEmATuvE EXPERIMENTS.

In Scribner for May. Charles Barn.
ard has paper on "Some Experiments
in Cooperation" in which he speaks
as follows OF the Springfield (vt) In
dustrial Works, a successful Co-opers-
tive enterprise:
At the benches are young men and
women in about equal numbers, dis
tributed according to the demands Of
the work or their own ability. Precise
ly as in any mandatory, there is n
regular system OF work and perfect
subdivision of labor. BY the peculiar
method OF selection, each has the work
that the majority think he or she 10
best suited TO perform consistently
with the best interests Of the establish
ment. On going through the various
departments, one cannot fail TO notice
the quiet and order that prevail
There is n rigid adherence to business
that is truly refreshing. Persons ia
miliar with working-people in mills
and shops can readily recall that calm
ness OF manner, and ingenuity in do
ing nothing with apparent energy that
characterize some Of the workers.
Not trace OF this can be seen in the
Industrial Works.
The sun goes down, the lamps are
lighted, and the work goes on without
a pause. IL is hammer, hammer. ham
mer, with ell the regularity and twice
the energy OF a clock. The vhirling
shafts spin steadily, the shayipgs Ay
from the planers, the paint brushes
slip along quickly in nimble girl fin-
gers. II is work, work, work with jol-
ly persistence. The six O'Clock bell
rings, and no one seems 10 discover il
till the reluctant engineer turns off the
water. and the Gathering machinery
runs slowly and finally stops, as il Il
also held shares In the company.
We may join them at their liberal
table; forty OF more young men aud
women in good health and the best OF
spirits. They are well-dressed, inteIli-
gent, with manners self-respectful and
courteous. After supper some amuse
themselves with books, music, and
games, and some return 10 the shop
for extra work. All are apparently
contented and happy, and all, without
exception, are making money at . rate
seldom equslsd by people in their po-
sitiop.
