The indianapolis Journal states
that the appointment of voorhees, to
the United States Senate, was oppos-
ed by the Democracy in the East,
who tried to induce Governor Hen
bricks to accept the position. No
tender of the appointment was made
to Hendricks, however. The Journal
says: "Mr. Hendricks was too sharp
a fox to get his tail in Tilden's trap.
He, therefore, instructed Governor
Williams to commission VOORHEES,,
and plainly notified the officious wise
men of the East that he was manag-
ing his own political future"

The November Elections.

Ten States held elections on Tues
day, November 9th. The Republi-
cans have carried Connecticut, Mass
achusetts, Nebraska, Kansas, Wis
consin and Minnesota; New York
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary
land, Mississippi and Virginia have
gone Democratic. The Democratic
majority in Pennsylvania will be
aboul 1000. In New York the Dem
ocratic State ticket is elected by re.
duced majority, while the Republi.
cans get majority in both branches
of the Legislature. The Wheeling
HatelIigeacer, gazing over the battle
field as the smoke clears away, re
marks:
1.-The storm is over, and the Re
publicans have weathered the gale
in very fair condition, considering
the disturbed state Of the public
mind in business matters Three
years after the panic of 1887, anC
three years after the collapse of 1857
the Democratic party were swept on
of power, but the Republicans, il
the 5th year of the present panic
and in the off year of our nationa
politics, are still able to offset thei
Losses in one State with gains il
others. I'm 1880, good times will have
come again, and Hayes policy will
be as popular as MonrOe's, and tn
Republican party will come forth a
strong man to run race"

latter them in one sentence and act

ingmen are as much. if not more, in
terested in the peace and stability of
the country as capitalists, for neither
one can prosper here if rowdies and
robbers cah destroy, plumber and ar
rest the whole business of the country
at pleasure, and both classes want a
government strong enough and with
the means at its disposal to promptly
protect all! Such an argument against
the army bill as passed was the worst
political slush ever emptied into
Congress; and we are glad the good
sense of the majority asserted itself
by putting the army on such foot
ing as will make the country respect

ficient and useful at home. -BdLti-

Garfeld's Speech on Resumption.

Representative Garfeld's speech,
against the repeal CT the Resumption
bill, is said 20 have been one of the
ablest ever delivered in Congress on
the financial question, exploding the
fallacies advanced by the Democratic
advocates of the bill and tearing to
tatters the tiimsy structure raised by
Judge Kelley in its favor. He show
ed that sit is estimated there is daily
due the labofing men Of this country
$40, 00O. 900 for their labor, and to
cut down the value of the greenbacks
10 per cent. las the silver bill will do
if it becomes aslaw) would shrivels
S12,0OO,O 600 off the earning of the
labor class" He also attacked the
fallacy that U. S. bondl1olders are
mainly capitalists and wealthy men
and showed THAT in one city in
which S416,020 Of Government bonds
are held by 1876 persons, only eight
men of the number hold oyer $40, 600
each, while 1S2 of the number range
from $50 to $3.50 each. Sixty of the
number are widows, Is guardians Of
minor children, and 121 labOrers, me-
chanics, farmers ministers, and other
men of slender means, who put their
money into bonds that it might be
safe" In conclusion he said:
1.-THE moment your greenback is
equal to gold it is better than gold,
for it is more convenient, and as long
as the people desire it to be in circu-
latiion, so long it will be, until the
business of the country demands its
removal. Ifany of the amendments
propose to make the Resumption act
more safe, more certain, more careful
of the interests of the country, [
shall cheerfully join in voting for it.
But anything that takes back the
promise, anything that gives up
what we have gained, anything that
sets us afoat again in the wild
waves from which we have nearly
escaped, | will oppose if it should
cost me oil the political future that
can be offered to any American"

The retail dry-goods store of Field,
Letter & Co., the largest establish
ment of the kind in the United States
outside of New York, and which was
to Chicago and the west what Stew
arts is to New York and the east,
was burned Wednesday night of last
week. The building was a compar-
atively new one, made of stone and
iron; was five stories in height and
had a frontage on two of the principal
thoroughfares, extending an entire
block either way. The total loss is
not less than 100000 on the build
ing and stock. Both were, of course,
heaily insured, but as the firm en-
ploys in their retail business about
eight hundred hands, male and fe-
male, the suffering caused by this
calamity will, for the time being, be
widespread, while the firm will be
crippled in their enterprise and the
business interests of the community
will also be injuriously affected. Mr..
Letter is a native Of Washington
county, this State.

The New York Times figures give
the Republicans majority of six in
the State Senate; and makes the As
sembly stand sixty-six Republicans,
sixty-one Democrats, and one Labor
Reform. The majority on the Dem
ocratic State ticket will not exceed
Il, 400, and the Times adds: eat least
a score of Assemblymen will have
majorities of less than one hundred
votes, and half dozen Senators are
elected by majorities varying from
200 to 359. The aggregate vote of the
State will undoubtedly prove to have
been light one, and there is every
reason to believe that had even as
many Republicans as voted in 1875
gone to the polls the State would
have been redeemed.

SITTING BULL AND CUsTER.-Col.
Corbin, of the Sitting Bull Commits
sion, communicates some interesting
facts in connection with Sitting Bull,
which have not heretofore been pub
lished. He says that the commission
had a number of private interviews
with Sitting Bull, and found him to
be very agreeable IN his manners
and a very intelligent Indian: When
the commission started on their
return trip Sitting Bull accompanied
them for a number Of miles, con-
yer5ing freely about the business OF
the commission and Of the Custer
campaign. Sitting Bull repudiated
the idea that Gen. Custer and his
men were massacred, and says it was
a fair fight, in which the desperation
of Custer and the men under bis com
mand made it necessary for tie In
dams to kill them. Sitting Bull
says Custer charged upon his camp
with great impetuosity, creating a
temporary panic among them bot
the Indians soon rallied, anG out
numbering Custer ten to one, they
were enabled to surround him. He
says that Custer and his men refused
to surrender, and fought until the
last man was killed. He expressed
great admiration for Clusters bravery
and that of the men who were with
MIN and was sorry that his refusal tt
surrender made it necessary to put
him to death.

Mr.. BLAINE's CRITICAL CoNDI.

Mr.. BLAINE's CRITICAL CoNDI.
TIoN. There seems to be no reason to
doubt that Mr.. Blaine is in very
critical condition. He has grown
worse since he went to his Augusta
home, a fortnight ago; has been con-
fined to his bed, denied to callers,
and finally attacked with dysentery,
which left him so weak, few nights
ago, that it was feared he was going
to die. The last two years have
proved a terrible strain on both his
mind and body, and there are album
dant signs that, however completely
he may seem to recover from his
present attack, the days of his old
activity are over, or if they are re-
sumed, are liable to be ended very
suddenly and finally.-SprinG1fetd

B. & O. R. R. Report.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company took place Tues
day. The fifty-first annual report of
the president and directors was pre-
sented. As with all the others leading
railroads OF the country, the business
shows a falling off during the year
ending October 80 last as compared
with the two previous years. and the
report enters into explanations
whereby the stockholders can under
stand the reasons therefor, as we'll as
learn where and for what purposes
large sums Of money have been ex-
pended, and from which no adequate
return has yet been made. It will be
seen that the gross earnings Of the
Main Stem together with all its
branches for the year ending Septem-

1877 show a decrease as compared
with 1876 ofS1 49,, 1875 65, and as COM
pared with 1875 of 81 ,235, 1878 4S. The
aggregate working expenses of the

Hon. E. w. Stoughton has adj
dressed a letter to the editor Of the
New York World in regard to Judge
Blacks recent SCORING" of him on
the subject of the election commits
sion, &c. Mr.. Stoughton claims that
Judge Black has failed to disprove
his statements that just before the
beginning of the late war President
Buchanan and Judge Black, then
attorney general, unite in officially
declaring that the government had
no constitutional power to suppress
the revolt by force. He also claims
that Judge Black has failed to
disprove that the highest court OF
Louisiana had deter:pind that the
decision of the returning board OF
that State was conclusive and could
not be revised or reversed by its
courts. Mr.. Stoughton concludes,
with a reminder to Judge Black
"that with his excellent constitution
and a right use of his remarkable
talent, guided by an improved taste,
he may yet hope to retrieve repu-
tation not enviable for patriotism, or
for purity ofstyle as controversial"
Whether Judge Black will be heard
from again denends whether he at
taches any importance to Mr.. Slough

Federal, and Democratic Rule.

The following comparison of the
results Of Federal, and Democratic
rule, is strikingly Illustrative of the
difference between them;
1.-THE burden of the public debt, of
the United States, both in principal
and interests, has been steadily de-
creasing; that of New York city has
been steadily on the increase, till to-
day the national debt is equal to but
$50 a head for the population, while
that of New York is equal to 500 "A
head. A contribution of Sc from
every man, woman and child in the
United States would pay the annual
cost of the Federal Government, in
Guiding the interest charge and the
fund for the redemption of the debt ;
it needs over 500 head to pay for
the annual expenses of Government
of New York. That burden is the
propuct of Democratic rule in the
city.
