The way we are increasing the quantity
and variety of our exports renders it prob
able that the ocean traffic will shortly be
almost confined to carrying American pro-
duets to foreign countries. The latest trade
which has sprung up is in shipping live lob
sters to England. One steamer recently
took seven hundred of the crustaceans in a
tank through which constant flow of sea
water was kept by means of steam pump.

Blaine and the Presidents Policy.

James G. Blaine has written letter to
the Boston Herald, in which he sturdily re-as-
serts his belief in the election Of Chamber
lain in South Carolina and of Packard in
Louisiana. BY many parties this is taken
as an evidence of his hostility to the Presi-
dents Southern policy, but we cannot see
that in the letter he commits himself to any
factious oppositons to that policy in the Sem
ate. We are sorry he wrote the letter, and
hope the results of the Presidents course at
the South may be such as 10 make him re.
pent of it, The fact is that for eight years
Louisiana has been in constant turmoil.
There has been no settled government. The
highest officials have been VIGOROUSLY cor.
rupt. A Republican committee of the legis-
lature reported that of the extravagant rev.
enue drawn from the state, not one.fourth
has been legitimately expended. The gov
eminent has not been able to protect the
persons of its own supporters. There h rs
been continual cutlery about murder and
outrage. What is government worth,
which wastes the property of its subjects,
and does not even protect their lives Surely
New England people do not mean to support
such a scheme as this. The Louisiana poll.
ticians have not even kept the state Repub-
lican. There is no excuse or apology for per-
petuating their misrule the cause of civil
liberty and constitutional government is not
represented by them, but by the President,
whose election has been lawfully declared,
and would never have been brought in ques.
ton but for their misconduct. We consider
it to be the duty of Republicans of the North
to aid in every possible way the President
in his efforts to bring abou4 peaceable and
harmonious condition Of affairs at the South.
The perpetuation of the carpet-bag govern
ments there by federal bayonets is disgrace
to the country, and would sound the death
knell of the Republican party as surely as
the world stands. The marrow escape which
the party has just had is in great measure
attributable to this same cause If we are
wise we shall profit by our late lesson, and
assist in place of obstructing any well di-
rected efforts to attain SO desirable an end.

DISPATCHES from st. Louis indicate that
the fire department in that city is a very
weak affair and that the telegraphers, in
their anxiety to make great sensation, have
overestimated the number of killed, thus
keeping many persons who had friends in
st. Louis in the torture of suspense for many
hours.

Within the past few days number OF
miners have arrived in town from Vir-
ginia City searching for work. To those
who are expecting to come, we say, do
not do so. Many OF the miners here who
have lived In Eureka for years are now
out of work, and it will be weeks. under
the most favorable auspices, before one
half of the now idle men can secure en-
ployment. The mines of Eastern Ne
vada are different from those of the Com
stock; they do not require near the work
ing forces, and to day, for every vacancy
that occurs there are dozen applicants
We say this 20 the workingmen in all
kindness, and our advice, If heeded, will
save many bitter disappointments. The
supply of labor more than equals the
demand at the best of times and u new
conner stands much less show to obtain
work than those who have lived here for
a long time. Again we say: DO not
come to Eureka.-Eureka Sentinel, 2Sth.
