The Radical papers all unite
now in saying that the transfer Of
17S votes in Vernon parish from
the Democratic side to the Repub-
licln made no difference in the re-
suit; that it was a small matter
anyhow, not worth mentioning; as
Mr.. Toots would say in Dickens
Dombey and Son, "of no conse-
quenca.7 This is indeed a very
small affair compared with other
Radical sins, but like the vane on a
Veathercock, it shows which way

THE Studebaker Brothers Wagon
Manufacturing Company, of South
Bend, Ind, originated the idea one
year ago Of presenting each of the
employees a subscription to a weekly
newspaper for the year 1876, as a
Christmas present, instead of the
usual turkey. This year, out of
$50 workmen, only three voted for
the turkey-all the rest voted for a
weekly paper This is creditable
to the liberal spirit of the compa-
ny and to the intelligence of the
workmen. Manufacturers through
ont the country might initiate the
to advantage.

The admirable translation into English Of
Alphonse Daudet's "Fromont Jeume ct
Risler Aine," has given that author wide
fame in this country and provoked general
desire to see more of his work in English
dress. Messrs. Estes & Lauriat, the Boston
publishers, contemplate, it is SAID, the graft
fication of this desire. If they are so fortu-
nate as to secure the services of the translator
of 'Sidonie' their venture will meet with
abundant success; for much of the charm OF
the English version of that book is due to the
fine literary style and accomplished scholar
ship of the lady who made it. 1t is very sell
dom that so excellent translation is seen.

The Democrats are not inclined to stick to
the board. A Commission that decides
against them is not at all the article they bar
gained for. Justice-unless it be Justice
Davis-is not what they want. They feel
that they have been over-reacbed-and by
themselves: and they are as mad as a man
with the toothache. Their present intention
seems to be to stave of decision until after
the Fourth of March and then take their
chance in new election. After such an ex-
hibition of bad faith the chance would be a
slim one and the majority rolled up against
them greater than at any Presidential election
in our history.

THE Florida decision strengthens instead
OF weakening the Republican case in Oregon.
1t is to the effect that Governors certificate
is not valid unless it is made in accordance
with the legally constituted authority of a
State for the canvassing OF its returns. Thus
the certificate is not competent to overtime "
the action of the legally constituted returning
board. In Oregon the vote is canvassed by
the Secretary ofState, and as Growers certif-
cate is not in accordance with that canvass it
will be held of no validity.
