The Battle Ended.

The great struggle over the Pres:den-
tial election ended yesterday with the
counting of the electoral vote of Wiscon-
sin for Hayes and Wheeler. The iiibus-
tiers did their worst to obstruct the count
but were beaten The count gives Hayes
and Wheeler lSj electoral votes, Iilden
and Hendricks 1874 one majority for the
republican candidates. The news of this
result will be hailed with joyful hearts
everywhere. The right has triumphed'
the wrong has gone tt the wall. The
country will now have Ieace. Business
will start up with new life. A healthy
impulse will be given to all our indus
tries. A season of prosperity such as we
have not known since 1873 is before us.
Hallelnjnh for the victory.

Mr.. Townsend Of New York Is one Of the keen
Ell wits and hJ 1iofis:: 10 Congress. In the mid.
of the fiery debate Of Monday and the savage de
pupciations Of the electoral commission bv ths
democrats he made the following remarks, as re-
ported in the papers:
Mr.. To vnsend On. W compared the action o.
the democrats to the familiar bargain between the
white man and the Indian, the white man saying
81 will take the turkey aid you will take the owl
or you will take the owl and will take the tur
kew" (Laughter.) SO, II the commission would
decide in favor OF Tiden, the democrats would
srand faithfully by it but if it decided in favor OF
Hayes then they would howl and resist.
Was that the way that honorable men discharged
public duties : He referred to the saving of Judge
Grover. Of the New York Court of Appeals, IL
reference to the outcry made against the decision
of the court 10 the Tweed case, that in Allegany
County (where the Judge lived) when man wa,
beaten in q lawsuit, it was understood that there
were but two things he could do-one was TO sp-
peal and the other was to 90 down to the tavern
and swear at the Court. (Lsughter) The gentle
men from Kentucky and New York (Messrs.
Jones and Hewitt) had exercised to-day the latter
privilege. They mad sworn at the Court. not IN
The tavern, but in the House Of Representatives
lie believed that that was not the feeling OF the
people; they had faith in the tribunal, whether
the tribunal had decided right or wrong. liz
called on The other side of the House in the name
of country, of patriotism, of honor, of manhood
to do what the republicans would have been re-
quircd to do in case the decision had been sgains,

The Electoral Commission.

Mr.. Payne OF Ohio, Democratic Congress
man and member of the Electoral Commis-
sion, has, in speech just delivered in Ohio,
very plainly set forth the reasons which led
the Democrats to approve .of the formation
of the Commission, and the grounds they
have for their cry Of fraud. Mr.. Payne ad-
mits that the Democrats accepted the novel
tribunal because they thought they had
sure thing.' They believed that Judge Da-
Wis would be appointed the fifteenth member,
land they were confident that he would decide
in favor of Tilden. What reason they had
for this confidence does not appear; but this
much is certain, as Mr.. Payne admits, they
would never have consented to the bill had
they believed that any other than Davis
would become the umpire in the dispute.
That is, the Democrats, while. talking OF a
tair judicial decision, while calling on all pat
riotic men to support the bill as the only
means of settling the dispute. while pretend
ing ito great sacrifice in the submission of
their claim to any tribunal, only consented
toiarbitration because they felt sure that they
would have the choice of arbiter, and that
the decision would be in their favor. Had
they believed there was a doubt as to the re-
suit they would never have supported the
bill. Their boasted patriotism was sham,
their willingness to submit the question to an
unprejudiced jury pretense.
On the other hand those Republicans who
supported the bill constituting the commission
entertained an honest doubt as to the decis-
ion. They were fully persuaded of the JUS
tice of their case, but feared they might lose
1t through some technical defect In the in
terests of peace, and believing that a final
even if unjust settlement was preferable to a
disputed succession, they consented to the
arbitration, supposing at the time they gave
their consent, that Judge Davis was to be a
member of the commission.
The fact is that the Democrats over
reached themselves, and their complaint
should be not that the Republicans cheated
them, but that they cheated themselves. The
cause Of their disappointment was the absence
of Davis from the Commission. For that
absence the Republicans are not responsible.
The Democrats should quarrel with Davis
himself, or with the Democratic leaders in
Illinois. They can make no issue at all upon
the Electoral Commission, for the fact that
Republicans supposed Davis would be the
odd man, ,disposes of all charges of conspiracy
Or trickery, even were not such charges dis
proved by other evidence.

The abolition of slavery is becoming more
and more widespread. A new anti-slavery
convention between Queen Victoria and the
Khedive of Egypt entirely forbids the export
or import of negro slaves from or to Egypt, as
well as all traffic in children. In future
Egyptian slave.dealers will be tried by court
martial as assassins, while foreigners so Of
Tending will be handed over to the tribunals
of the countries to which they belong. Eng
lish and Egyptian cruisers will be authorized
to capture slave-ships sailing under the re-
spective flag of either country. The Khedive
further binds himself to abolish all private
traffic in slaves, black and white, within sew
en- years from the present time, as far as re-
CARDS Egypt proper, and within twelve years
in the Soudan and frontier Provinces. After
the liberation of the Russian serfs and Amer
ican slaves, it became evident that the traffic
in human flesh and blood must cease. The
Queen of Madagascar has also abolished slay.

The New Senator from Missouri.
3 The Editor Of the Press :

To the Editor of the Press:
The recent appointment of Co. David FL.
Armstrong of st. Louis to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the late Senator
Bogy. brings fresh to my recollection some ir-
cidents connected with my school-boy days.
In the autumn of 1880, entered the ol
Maine Wesleyan Seminary at Kents Hill, as a
student. About the same time, poor boy
who cam nearly all the way on foot from the
Province of New Brunswick, entered the same
school. He told me when he arrived that he
had only twenty cents left in his pocket. This
young man was David sH. Armstrong. This
school then had connected with it, manual
labor depart nent consisting gof Workshop
and farm. The workshop wasifull, SO that the
only alternative left Armstrong and myself
was to go upon the farm; and here we labored
together, term after term, five hours each day
to pay our boardl We were both in about the
same fix financially; this made US sympathetic
and we became warm friends During our
hours of toll, our (then) future plans were fre-
quently discussed.
Armstrong was ambitious, hopeful and per-
severing. He had kind of independence
about him, which quickly resented an insult,
yet no truer friend ever passed under the shad-
oW OF old hentS Hill. l well remember re-
mark he made one day (strange as may seem
the coincidence) that he "never should stop
short of a seat in Congress"
Armstrong among the students was leader
Being an athlete, he was the terror of that
class of scholars who were disposed to poke
fun" at the humble occupation of the farm
boys. A mice young man" Of aristocratic
birth and rich parents, for series of insults
to the ''young yeomanry" was soundly thrashed
by Armstrong. This completely cured him,
and all others alike inclined; and our 'inalien-
able rights" were ever after duly respected.
Before leaving the school young Armstrong
acquired good, sound, business education.
His success in life has been the reward of
laudable ambition, enterprise, integrity, indom-
liable perseverance and "a fixed reliance upon
himself.
To all boys who are left to carve out their
own fortunes, and fight against the ills and
misfortunes of life, such examples are worthy
of note They are beacon lights to the Door
and unfortunate, encouraging them on to fight
bravely and persistently, if they would win.

The surest sign of better times is the re-
sumption of work by the great manufactur-
ing establishments and the increased activity
of others. All over the country they are re-
opening and calling back their operatives.
The American Iron Works, employing two
thousand men, and Fl. Lloyd, Son & Co.'s
iron mills, employing enc thousand men,
both at Pittsburg, resumed work last week.
The Kensington Iron and Steel Works, of
Philadelphia, are running some of their de-
partments double-time on account of increas-
ed orders. Ford's plate-glass works, of JEFF
fersonville, Ind, are again in activity, en-
ploying large number of men. The Esna
Iron Works, at Newcastle, Pa, have such ex-
tensive orders to fill that they are being run
double time; the same Is the case with the
Etna Rolling Mill, at Wheeling. The Mil
waukee Rolling Mills are all again in opera
tion. The Hogan Elbow Company, of Cleve-
land, is running day and night to fill its con-
tracts. These are but few of the indica-
tions of reviving business with which we find
the trade journals filled. They are sufficient
to show that the dawn of new period of
prosperity is breaking, and that the near .fu-
ture is radiant with hope.

A Fayorite Story of Dickens.

The following story may have gone the
round of the newspapers but it is good enough
for re-teling, since Dickens said of it: "You
must know that have appropriated that story
and acquired immense reputation by itP' 1t
occurs in paper of "reminiscences in Scribner
for October, entitled ga Yankee Tar and his
Friends:"
On one of Captain Morgan's voyages from
American to England, he had under his care a
very attractive young lady, who speedily dis
tinguished herself by reducing five young gen.
tlemen to the verge Of distraction She was
quite ready to marry one; but what could she
10 with five? In the embarrassment of her
riches she sought the captain, who after few
moments thought, said: Its a tine calm day /;
suppose, by accident, you should fall over
Doare; LII have boat lowered to pick you mp,
and you can take the man who loves you we'll
enough to jump after you." This novel propo-
sltlon met the young lady's views, and the
programme. was accordingly carried out, Iwith
the triaing exception that four of the young
men took the plunge, and being picked up by
the boat presented themselves dripping
quartette upon the ships deck. The object Of
their .undampened ardor, no less wetr
herself, fled to her state-room and sent 70
her adviser, the captain. "Now, Captain"
cried she in despair "what am to do?" HAh.
my DEAR" replied the captain, eff you want a
en- sible husband, tokethe drip one"-which she

THE construction of iron-clads by great
ship-builders and engineers on the Clyde is
just now receiving great check. The Ger
man, Admiralty have taken the first step to
construct its own men-ofwar, without hav'
ing recourse to Glasgow. The first result OF
this was the launch four weeks ago, OF an
iron-clad frigate at Stettin, which is the lar
gest yet built in German shipyard. Even
the iron plates which hitherto had to be sent
from England, are now made in Germany
out of native iron, and an order has passed
that the necessary supplies for German YES.
sells shall, as far as possible be obtained from
home mines. Depots for such coal are to be
established at different parts of the world
and for this purpose negotiations have beer
opened with various governments in the Pa
cific-with the Samoan Islands, indeed, &
treaty was made last winter.
