THE Tribune says that politics in
New York State "are pretty quiet
yet, but there are two things which
appear plain already in the Repub-
lican programme. One is tibet the
Administration will be Endorsed
heartily and without reserve, and
the other is that Senator COnkling's
friends are going to make a deter
mined effort to re-elect him."

the foolish agitation concerning the

policy, as it is called, had certainly
given the South peace, and has re-
stored confidence in the future of
the South. Southern merchants are
here buying goods, which is enough
for the business man. He comes
with a smiling face and a look of
confidence that he has not worn
since the war. Speak to him about
his affairs and he says, 81 know
what we are going to get" and he
buys and trades accordingly. Hence
the business men are all enthusiasts

policy, for they see in it an escape

TUE CROP PROSPECT.
1t is curious, but the mercantile
reporters know more about the
crops than do the men who grow
them. Dun, Barlow & Co. report
that the wheat crop in the West
will make an average Of twenty five
bushels to the acre, and that the
other crops promise an equally
large yield. II this be the case,
and they know, the yield will be
simply enormous, and there is no
reason why the West shout d not be
enormously rich, this season. And
it will not be q big crop with no
price to it. The granaries in this
country are bare, and the Crimea,
the great competition of America
in grain,growing, is, this season,
practically barred out. The Turk
ish war has shut that off, and Amer
ica has this year, to feed tho world.
Hence there cannot DO that dimin.
utiOn in price, that otherwise would
follow u crop so immense; We have
our twenty-five bushels to the acre
with the price the same that it
would be were it only the average
of nine or ten. The West will be
made rich this year, and there can
not but be general prosperity.

thoroughly armed, were on duty all
of last week as policemen. and all
the militia regiments of the city
were at their posts. At the first in.
timation of a riot the mob would
have had this enormous force to
meet, and every rifle and revolver
was loaded with ball cartridge. The
were definite to shoot
at the rioters first, and over their
heads the second volley. There
was to be killing if riot was pro.
vOked. The Communists under

very shady now, and claim that
they did not intend any trouble.
But it is we'll known that they did
intend to raise a riot and sack the
city. They had their preparations
all made. They expected the rail
road people to strike, and then all
the Communists would join them,
and the thieves and tramps falling
in, there would be force enough to
take possession of the city. Then
would have been fired,
and the city would have been plum
lered. But no mob dare face all

THE EXODUS.

If you read the daily papers you
will suppose that everybody is out
of town during the summer months.
Nominally everybody is,-practical,
~ great many are not. You shall
see in the sociery papers a great
many names reported as at Swamp
scott, the White Mountains, and
all over the cool spots, who are safe
ly ensconced in their own houses.
To keep up the impression that they
have followed the fashion and gone
to a summer resort, they keep their
front blinds closed, and 60 in and
out the area door. The fact is, the
moderately wealthy hayn't had the
money to go away for three years,
and many of them have disc overed
that the air is about as good in a
well-appointed house in the city as
it is anywhere. The summer re-
sorts are all losing money this year.
The farmers down on Long Island
who can set a fairly good table are
making a great deal of money by
taking summer bOarders at seven
dollars week, the same people
who used to live at Long Branch
and Saratoga at ten dollars day.
The hard times has blighted the
summer resorts.

ing a great deal more of Atlantic
and Pacific telegraph stock than he
wanted, and he did not have as
much Western Union as he needed
to control that gigantic concern.
Selover, Keene, the Californian, and
other operators were in tight
place with various stocks that they
had, and they appealed to Gould to
help them. Gould agreed to do
this, for he was short of the stocks
they were overloaded with, and he
joined the cOnfederacy upon an
agreement that they would lie t him
have 10000 shares of their stock,
"just enough to save him from loss,"
and that they should as a matter
of safety unload their Western Un-

About one third of the credentials
of members in the next House of
Representatives have reached the
clerk of the present House None of
these come from the disputed States

Clerk Adams treats them as conf
Dental documents, to be exhibited

The credentials deposited by mem
bers-elect are under different forms
in different States, the only diff

being the instruction to the clerk of
the next preceding House to place
on the roll the names of those hold
ing credentials showing their elec
ton under the laws of their State.
At the opening of the present Con
gress CLERK Mcpherson refused to
place the names of members elect on
the rolls where two delegations ap-
peared, each certified by rival gov
ernor. Should Clerk Adams decide
to follow this rule the next House

Republicans, exclusive of New

State would not change the Demo

Republicans, indisposed to regard
the verification of the votes already
cast as enongh to determine the re
suit, the composition of the next
House by States has been subject
for considerable speculation. Ex-
Guiding the delegations where two
governors claim TO have the power

CATION will stand sixteen Democrats
to eighteen Republicans. A contest
existing in three States, the precise
composition will be matter for
Congress to determine, while a
fouth delegation, New Hampshire's,
will be decided by an election.
