Grant on the Political Situation.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Edinburgh, Scot
land, gives a report of an interview with
ex-President Grant
The General stated he would remain
in Europe till after the excitement that
would surround the test of Hayes policy,
he would be charged with having hand
in every kind of political maneuvering,
whether he had or not, and he wished to
Danish politics from his mind until
everything settled down. 8" can say
one thing" said the General, "that if L
was at home should exert my influence,
as far as 1 could exert it, i'll favor of
Hayes plan of reconciliation. The OBJ
iect aimed at is noble one, and hope
it will succeed" In answer to q sug-
gesticn that many Republicans feared
that Hayes course would destroy the
party, Grant said "Never fear. have
always, of late years, had an abiding
faith in the success of the Republican
party at each election, not so much be-
cause it is always the strongest with the
people as because always just at the last
moment the Democrats do some foolish
thing and give a victory to the Republic
cans. Now, mark my words. We will
have Republican President in 1880,
because the Democracy cannot resist its
general disposition to kick over the milk
pail after it is filled. told Judge Nib
lack, of Indiana, so just before the last
election, and he smilingly admitted the
truth of what 1 said"
In reference to civil-service reform,
~ - IL
would succeed, because the theorists had
disagreed among themselves as to its
practical application, though he wished
It could in some practical way. He con-
tinued "Take Schurz, for instance.
He is making business of civil-service
reform; but he is humbug, and Hayes
will find him out before long. 1t is all
very well to say that the business of
office seeking shall be abolished, but
the office-seeker cannot easily be abol-
ished, and the more theorists quarrel
among themselves the further practical
civil-service reform seems to recede."
In answer to a question as to what
he thought of the dissolution
of Republican State organizations
in the South, Grant said: "That
is one of the usual violent effects of wise
government after a scene of turmoil like
we had last fall. For myself, do not
care for party. You can always depend
upon the good sense of the people of the
United States. They believe in a re-
public. Their flag is to the fore, witt
strong arms behind it always, and they
are sentimental, loyal, and brave. They
will never elect high official except
upon common-sense basis. For that
reason, 1 believe, the Republican and
Democratic parties, of late, being so
evenly divided, that the people will be
compelled to vote in large majority for
the Republican candidate, no matter who
he may be, because the Democrats will
do some silly thing that will drive think
ing people from their ranks at the last
moment. Modern Democracy always
does il. 1t has made me smile frequent
ly as have thought of it, But there il
some fatality at work in the premises"

Influence OF Valleys on Health.

Mr.. Alfred Haviland lately informed
the London Social Science Association
that many diseases were induced by the
common tendency to place houses in
valleys instead of on the hill-sides. He
says that valleys do not get full share
of fresh air. The wind blows over, not
through them, and the atmosphere with
in their boundaries is comparatively
stagnant. His observations are there
fore opposed to the common belief that
valleys are especial channels for at
mospheric movements but his opinions
are sustained by DIR. b. w. Richardson.
who is good authority. The latter gen.
tleman enumerated twenty-five or thirty
diseases which he thought might be at
tributed to the propensity for valley
homes. Among them are Group, infiu-
enza, rheumatism, scrofula, fistula. cal
culas, and possibly some malformations.
The list is formidable, and, to put il
mildly, it is almost incredible that dis
eases of tins character can be caused by
living in the broad and shallow valleys
of England. Mr.. Havilands remarks
were illustrated by maps and models
showing the geological structure OF the
earth.-7ne GALAXY for October

HATH ITS COMPENSATION.

The Evening Wiconsin can be cheer
full under any circumstances and even
goes so far as to draw some comforting
conclusions out of this terrible ''spell OF
weather" It says: We have had a
deal of gloomy weather during the past
seven weeks. In that time we have been
favored with only three consecutive
bright days. The rain, snow and fog
have been almost unceasing. 1t has
made every one feel little sombre-per-
baps we might say very gloomy. The
country roads throughout the northwest
are utterly aboIninable, as German far
mer intimated, making u space between
his two hands as if the mud were yard
deep. They are not quite so bad as
that; but the roads are SO heavy and
muddy that farmers have great difficulty
in getting even to the railway stations,
and as a consequence wheat receipts
have fallen off both here and in Chicago
to less than 100000 bushels per day.
Ordinarily, with so bountiful crop, we
would receive 1000 bushels. AS one
result of this circumstance the coun-
try merchants cash receipts are light,
and that reacts upon the city merchants.
The retail trade in the cities is also
small. because the weather is SO bad PEG
pie prefer to wear their old garments,
and few farmers come into the cities and
villages because the roads are SO heavy.
ssBut even such season has its COM
pensations, and they should not be over
looked On the list of October the
ground was very dry. We have never
known dryer September in the west or
northwest. The usual equinoctlal rains
did not fall this year. September was
also excessively warm; and 50 the graz
ing was parched out. Tens of thousands
of cattle required to be fattened for the
autumn market. The soft nourishing
rains CONNIE need early in October and
continued for weeks, and as a result the
grazing in that month was never better.
The grass was almost like that of June,
and even to-day, on the 26th of Novem-
Der, the grass is nutritious for CATTLE.
The hogs also have enjoyed their carni-
val of mud and grass. Altogether the
stock of the farmer is in an unusually
good condition upon the approach of
winter, 80 this is one compensation for
the long protracted rains.
sfThere is another point which should
be we'll considered. Had al the days of
October been SO clear AMI dry as those OF
September. the flood of wheat into Mil
waukee, Chicago. and other western
points, would have been SO enormous
that it woulI have broken the market
below one dollar per bushel. That
would have been fearful loss to the
farmer on the balance of his crop. The
receipts have been SO light in the last
six weeks that this alone has sustained
the market. The October dullness of
the British market was caused by the
immense wheat receipts in the grain
centers of the United States during the
month of September. The farmer is
now likely to get better price in con
sequence of the very bad weather, fol
the visible supply at the present time is
far less than was expected seven weeks
ago. When the farmer hourishes the
merchant and the manufacturer flourish
also. So let US all bear in mind thai
the gloomy weather hath its compen

The Hvers Concert.

The concert of the Flyers sisters at the

the largest audience of the season. The
concert was complete success, every por-
ton of it being received with enthusiastic
applause. The sweet voices of these sing
ers win for them cordial welcome wher-
ever they appear. The first part of the
entertainment consisted of the drama "Out
of bondage" which has been before heard
in Rutland. and is too well known to re-
quire extended description. 1t gives pic
ture of slave life in the south, and is inter-
spersed with many negro songs, which
were given with all the old spirit and beau
ty of this company.
The miscellaneous part was fine and
splendidly sung. Perhaps the most sue
cessful things were the duet Excelsior, y
by Messrs. King and Luca-sung as it is
seldom given by any singers-and my
grandfalhers clock" in which the invisible
chorus sang beautifully. All the numbers
on the programme were so well rendered
that 1t is useless to particularize. The
audience signified a verdict of the heartest
approval, and the troupe may always bt
sure of warm reception in Rutland.

three several sets of objections to the votes
cast by the call, by Hunton, Bullock and
Yonge, democratic electors, on the ground
that papers were not authenticated as re-

Senator Jones made objection specially
to Humphreys as holding an office OF trust

Kasson made additional objection to the
third set of certificates becausekthey were
not authenticated by the person who held
the Office of governor at the time the func-
tons Of electors were exercised.

as well as objections presented will now be
transmitted 10 the electoral college CON-
mission for judgment and decision. The
senate will now Withdraw to its chamber 30
that the house may separately determine
objections, Ga buzz Of dissent as to the
closing part of the sentence pervaled the
chamber but the presiding officer made
the change that the senate retire, and after
order was restored the house resumed legls-
lative business.
Mr.. Hopkins moved the previous ques-
ton on the resolution reported last night
from the Florida investigating committee,
but objection was made on the republican
side to any action on the matter until after
the minority report was presented.
The speaker suggested that as this cub
ject was now unfinished business it should
be allowed to go over and come up to-
morrow as unfinished business.
Mr.. Lapham made point of order that
the dispute on the electoral votes having
been referred to commission it was not
competent for the house 10 pass now upon
the question.
The speaker said that was not point of
order. 1t was question for the house to
determine.
Mr.. Kasson--It is a moral point Of Or
der. The Florida question was finally ar
ranged 80 as to let it 60 over until Saturday
and then the house took recess till ten
