In case of a general European war
not the least benefit to this country
would be the tide of immigration to
our shores. Thousands will seek {
refuge away from the scene of strife

On The Sth of next month the
''fced motion patent in sewing ma
chimes will expire, 1t has reached
the utmost limit by law, and with
its ending must come in time a great
decrease in the price Of sewing ma
chimes. The cost of manufacture for
a S65 sewing machine is said to be
about 1928, an SIS machine, ready
for shipment, about $40. These
prices and profits are possible on ac-
count Of the monopoly given the ma
kers by the patents, of which the
"f2cd notion is one Of the most vi.
tai. After this expiration any shop
in the country can turn out sew
ing r,aehine with the lock.s:itch and

ton must bring dawn the prices full
lyone.half. A good machine should
not cost over S25.

When the Democratic House was
struggling at the last session to re-
duce the burdens Of taxation by cut
ting down appropriationsand abolish
ing unnecessary Offices the Republi-
can Senate resisted on the ground
that such reductions would cripple
the public service. 1t was strenuous
ly contendel that the number per-
sans in public employment was no
larger than required and thatthc eff
fort to reduce them was wrong and
disreputablc, but now We are told
that Secretary Schurz has decided to
dispense with the services of sixty
clerks in his department, and that
similar reductions are to be made in
other departments. This proves the
correctness Of the Democratic party
in favor Of retrenchment and refom,
and taken in connection with the
adoption of Democratic policy by the

Senator Dorsey, who has just re-
turned to Washington from a trip
through considerable portion of the
South, says he does not believe that
any Southern Democratic Congress
man will vote fora Republican Speak
err. Some of the Conscrwtives-such
as Cause and Slemons Of Arkansas,
and Casey and Young Of Tennessee,
who are very liberal in their ideas
have published cards TO conciliate
their constituents, in which they say
that they do not intend to vote for a
II Republican Speaker. Mr., Dorsey
is consequently of the opinion that
the scheme for organizing the House
in the interest ofthe Administration
will fail. He is confident that there
is purpose on the part of some OF
the Democratic leaders to attempt
toforce through Legislation somewhat
similar to the Field quo raranto bill,
which will make it mandatory upon
the Circuit Court and Supreme Court
of the United States to take jurisdic-
ton of the Presidents title, and to
decide it Immediately. A step of
this sort, Mr.. Dorsey thinks, is the
greatest the Administration has to
fear

chances as yet are that we shall have

Of farm products. One informant
states that he has been all over the
comfy, and that he never saw such
good wheat in his life. The, stand is
universally good, and it is much far
theradyanced than usual. The fruit
crop is also reported to be exceeding
ly well. The peach trees are loaded
with bloom, and if nothing happens
to give it, back set, the yield will
be simply immense, The farmers
cannot grumblc this year about the
weather, SO far, as everything has
been most favorable. If the season
keeps ON as it has commenced, there
will be such harycsts this year as

The time is drawing nigh when
the voters Of the county will be call
cd upon loelect a County Superin-
tendent Of Free Schools. There is
no officer to be elected in August
next, in whose complete adaptation
to the duties of the Office the people
have s6much concern and are so vi
tally interested, as that of County
Superintendent Of Free Schools
So evident is this proposition that
it needs no proof to sustain it, And
whcnfwo have a good man, we are Of
those who believe in holding on to
him. Therefore, We would suggest
the name Of Charles 4. Hogg, Esq,
the present incumbent for re.nomi-
nation and reelection. lie has eve
ny element Of qualification, is the
equal Of any one who can be spoken
of in the county, and has made an
efficient and acceptable officer. And
this being SO, there is no need Of go
ing into a discussion Of his charact-
err learning, merits and qualifica-
tons figtiis important office, We
hope that Mr.. iiogg win be called by
common consent, to serve The people
in this capacity, one more term.

1t is now settled that Hayes has
determined to organize a new party
on the same principles advocated by
the old Wing, party to-wit, \ party
that will advocate a national curren.
cy founded on a bi-metallic standard,
internal Improvements by the gov
ernment anda high protective tariff.
This party, it seems, will be called
the Whig-Republican party. The
Washington Nation, which has be-
come its organ, publishes long in
tcrview with Secretary Thompson,
who undoubtedly speaks for Hayes
and the other movers in favor of this
new party, Mr.. Thompson thinks
the organization of such a partyp rac-
tical and thinks it will have u large
following in the South, and indeed
all over the country. 1t is said that
wrong will eventually rebound on
the head of the one who commits it,
Counting in Hayes by fraud may yet
prove a death blow to the Republican
party. 1t al least is certain that
they have got more than they bar,
gained for.

A Report iIlat Hayes VIII Resign.


A Cincinnati correspondent of the
New York &n writes that some fe-
male relatives Of Governor Hayes
residing in that city have re-
Gently returned from a visit at the
White House, and have been gossip
ing and letting out, unconsciously,
some Of tbefamily secrets. That MIR.
Hayes confessed in asocial chatsince
his eyes have been opened about the
real status Of affairs in Louisiana he
has begun to entertain serious doubt
whether he Is not an usurper, and
that he remarked to one Of his most
intimate advisers, "If recognize
Nichols as Governor of Louisiana l
do not see how / can consistently
hold the office of President. 1t will
be hard to make the country believe
that l am any more entitled to the
electoral vote of Louisiana than Pack
ard is to the Governorship. If Mich
oils is the lawful Governor, then !
have no claim to the electoral vote Of
that State"
He is troubled beyond expression
about this Louisiana muddle. He
fears Packard and the extreme wing
of the Republican party. His con-
science, too, is troubling him, and he
already recognizes that the legal
governmental louisiana Democrat
ic, and that Tilden is entitled to the
electoral vote Of that State. Hayes
actually tallsof resgninghe Presidency,
does not believe he is entitled to the
place he fills, is very much troubled
and would have said something long
ago had not Stanley Mathews, Secre-
tary Sherman, Infidcl Bob Ingersoll,
and Il few others furnished him back
bone.

The speculation in breadstufis, if
kept upat the present rate, will most
certainly fall through. The excessive
rise in wheat and flour for the last
few days, isnot based on any increas.
ed demand but on the supposition
that there will be such demand
The danger 10 be apprehendcd is in
speculation where men are apt to
take chances far beyond any reason

yet have reached the highest limit,
but dealers must never forget that
there is u limit beyond which con.
sumption will fall off, There is
enough breNdstuff in the world to
