new party has been born IN Virginia, but its
vrestle with existence is likely to be brief.
Uncle Dick refuses to remove the paddock from
his pocket-book, and the Ohio Democracy is
sbroudcd IN gloom.
Tye,d's latest confessions should be circulated as
q campaign document by Tammany. The old gen
tleman could he persuaded to add weighty word or
two in favor of "A new ticket.
A Democratic editor in Iowa, by name Dennis
Maloney, refuses to support the party candidate for
Governor. by name Mr.. Irish. This looks like fam
lily quarrel. Perhaps, though, Mr. Irish Is not an
freshman.
The Wisconsin Republicans hold their State Con-
yention tomorrow. There are something less than
a hundred candidates, among them the usual guam
tity of Washburns. The platform has been good
deal talked about by the party press of the state,
and is likely TO be mildly complimentary toward the
Administration.
The unhappy Bangor editor reaches the climax of
his brief fame to-day, and drops ont of the public
eye with the election. BE goes ont with bang
and a rattle though, for he saws, proudly, he has
put the poisoned chalice from his lips for fear it
might be bitter in the belly and will not vote for
Mr.. Williams. lie was an " amoOsln cuss and the
public Will miss him.
Ex-Gov CASTOR is likely to be the man picked ont
by the Massachusetts Democrats to lead their for
lorn hope this year. The convention will meet at
Worcester on Thursday, and unless Mr. Castor de-
cides to decline before that time he will have little
or no opposition. Mr.. Charles Francis Adams has
been sormnly removed from the field amid the
tears of Bowles and his solitary echo IN Boston.
Mr. Hendricks has decided to prol0ng his visit
abroad. and will not sail for home till the 10Th inst.
This will give Tammany ample time to false money,
by circular aud otherwise 50 that his return can be
fttingly celebrated. If Mr.. Tihen should happen
along in the meantime, there would be no harin in
giving INN mild tribute too, just to show that the
war the State officers does not mean any uukind-
ness 10 him.
The mud period seems to have been reached in the
Ohio campaign. Judge West has been formally
charged with breaking Will which his own wife's
former husband had left, Tor the purpose of cheat
ing an educational institution out OF a legacy This
has been solcmnly denied in detail and with vouu-
nous proof, and the original slandcrers are shown
to have wilfully and maciously lied. IL would
seem 10 be in order now to charge the Judge with
wie-bcating. with having lost his eyesight In a
dabolical attempt to blow up his own household by
pouring powder on rcd-h0t stove

imousy discovered what the trouble is with Dele

REGfSTERED DRINKS.

A recent decision sustlins the Virginia au-
thorities in the use of what is known as the
"iGuor Oell-punch." The cOntrivance is me-
chanically not unlike the d" cOck-rcgister,' in
service on some of cur city railroads, for
checking passengers fares. The bartender is
required to pull the register, and thus record
every drink that is sold. On each glass'o IL
quOr the State collects a tax OF two and hali
cents. 1t is hoped that three-quarters OF
million dollars may thus be provided annu-
ally for the treasury OF Virginia. There Is
naturally a wide difference in public opinion
as to the excellence of the law, and 1t Is 1--we
topic Of debate in the State canvass. Two or
three different courses are open to the
hquor-seller whose trade il thus taxed, but the
drinker is likely in the end to pay the tax.
The ultimate working of this law l. mat
ter Of curious speculation. At first sight, II
seems a cumbrOus and unpr0mislng expert
ment. Suppose, for instance, that the Gus
toner WAC drinks beer finds that he has to pay
more by one half, for every glass that Is reg
stered. Obviously it will be for his interest
to wink at neglect Of registry by the bar
tender. Moreover, the beer-drnker may feel
aggricved that he has to pay as heavily on
IL
who INDUCES in the more costly liquors, or
requires the preparation Of an elaborate mixed
drink" There is evidently temptation to
the liquOr-dealer to make his supplies
go further by adulteratng them, but that
performance has, in general, been car
ried acady as far as the customers
will permit it. Unless there should be some
new discovery in chemistry, liquors are not
likely to be much worse than they are at pres
ent, even in Virginia. There is possibly some
saving to the liquOr-seller who is not his own
bartender by the check that is obtained on
the operations of the latter functionary, both
as to the cash account and the habit OF
"treatngr his friends. Considering, however,
that all our street-car companies admit that
the best of the cOntrvances for checking
passenger fares are more or less modl-
fed failures. it would seem premature to
build large hopes on the liquOr-reglster Al
ter all, the principal question seems to be
whether the size of drink in Virginia viii
be affected by the system.

the quantity remaining for export viii hardly
exceed 70, 100000 bushels, even If the largest
estimate of the neW crop provo correct
Therefore, even in that event, moderately high
prices must be expected 20 curtail in some de-
gree both domestic takinss and foreign de-
mand. With no remarkable or speculative
advance in prices, however exports to Great
Britain woald be cut down TO the estimates OF
FIR. Card, other exports would be reduced,
and the domestic takngs would be 80 reduced
as to swell the exportabe supply above
$1,000 600 bushels. Thus, if full estimates
Of the crop prove correct, there will be very
little room for active speculation without loss.
But if the crop should prove to be not more
than 100000 or $4,000, 600, the present
prices may be maintained or even slightly in
creased without causing offerings for export to
exceed the foreign demand.

POLITICAL PERSECUTION.

Some of our Republican friends are giving
themselves needless vcXatiOn about the indct-
mcuts in South Carolina They are sensible
of the danger of appearing as confessed
champions Of the very peculiar patriots who
lately upheld the cause Of the Union in
Columbia and other Southern capitals yet
they have been so long in the habit Of apollo
gizing for the carpet-bag administrations and
treating every form of hostility to them as Il
species of Ku-Klux outrage, that they are lOath
even now to leave them TO their deserts. They
are angry with the grand juries, angry with
the courts, angry with the Governor; and if
any of the accused persons should be sent to
the penitentary, we have hOt-headcd partisans
here at the North who would straightway fall
foul of President Hayes for abandoning the
South Carolina Uniomsts. We hear complaints,
not very loud as yet, but still unpleasantly
frequent, that the chivalry are conspiring TO
drive every prominent Republican out of South
Carolina, and that Wade Hampton, in allow
ING these prosecutions to continue, is breaking
the agreement by which he induced the Presi-
dent to call away the troops from the State
House.
This charge is preposterOus. If any such
agreement nau DccD nlduts IL WOulu niNc bccH
disgraceful to both parties, and the shame Of
breaking would have been less than the shame
of keeping it. Bun no rational person will
believe that the President of the United States
exacted of the Governor of South Carolina an
obligation which was grossly immoral, and
which the Governor had VIGOROUSLY no power
to observe No bargain which these two
executive officers might have made together
could have impeded the action of the South
Carolina Courts and prosecutors; and If one
had demanded and the other had promised
that in consideration of certain political acts,
immunity should be secured to any one ac-
cused of felony, both would have richly
deserved impeachment. TO assert, therefore,
that the prosecution of the South Carolina
officials Is in any way violation of the letter
or spirit of the settlement" under which
Hampton became established III the Governor
ship, Is to fly in the face Of decency and
cOmmOn-sense,

of the scandals of the Republican party for ten

Deceptive expectations are often caused ny
statistics for few recent years, or by imper-
feet statistics. Within fifteen years, the Wlea'
crop has largely increased, but the quantity
reouired for food, seed and reserve has also
increased. A common error Is to omit imports
of wheat, which have become OF some ccnsc-
ouence since 1866; another defect, amounting
for some years to nearly 100000 bushels
has occurred through the custom OF estimating
-four as wheat at five bushels TO the BARREL
whereas four and a half bushels would be more
correct in large calculations. The following
gives, for years ending June 30, the exports oil

SOrTHrRy EMIGRATION AGAIN.

A curious cOrOllary to Our arguments last
week in favor of emigration to the South, is
furnished by the fact that several colonies of
sbrewd. industrious lab0rers are already formed,
all with their faces turned in that direct ton,
instead of TO the far West. One association of
fifty odd families of Pittsburg worllingmen
are going in February to land purchased iii
West Virginia other smaller companies are
to leave Philadelphia in early Spring for
Virginia or the CarOlinas. In the former
State fine farms with the buildings on them
are offered at about one-third their value be-
fore the war, and farmers with skill and capt.
tai enough to bring the land into yielding
condition viii find these their best invest
ment. Colonies of worlingmen, however, have
little money to spend on fertilizers for ex-
hausted soil. For them the unwOrked table
lands of West Virginia, the CarOlinas and Up
per Georgia, are the proper points. There
is the virgin soil, in some places rs rich rs
any in the West. Pasturage and fuel are free
There il settlement of Germans in the
northern corner of South Carolina, which is n
model town in neatness, thrift, sobrety, and,
of course, prosperity. They have brought their
farming knowledge to bear on the land in the
vicinity, which yields enormous crops of the
cereals, cotton and tobacco. The little town
il depot of trade for all that surrounding
lazy region. 1t is not only TO farmers, either,
that we would urge emigration to the South,
but to every man who has n trade or busi
ness, and means not to live off the people
but to throw his interest in with theirs, and
to stand with them shoulder to shoulder
They are quick to perceive the difference be-
tween such men aud carpet-baggers. 1t is
amusing to note how soon the publlc-spirtcd

liable to become too numerous in the Pennsylvania
Republican party to make it entirely comfortable
for young Mr.. Cameron TO carry IL IN his pocket

The anti-Iayes Republicans in Massachus Its are
uncommonly well pleased with the platform adopted
by the party in Pennsylvania, and hope the coming
convention at Worcester will see its way clear 10
adopt similar one. They claim that, so long as
there are differences Of opinion among them, there
is no harm in saying 50, and that the express

Two Of the most culpable OF the indicted South

not be tried They are Jones and Woodruff, former

$2S 900 worth of bonanza warrants and all claims
against the State for alleged unpaid printing bills
Jones surrenders private property, valued at
$4,000, and Woodruff suuenders the building and
