SEWING MACHINE misunderstanding
to Mr. Wheeler, the Wheeler & Wilson COM
pany during its existence has sold one million
aud five hundred thousand machines, costing
the public about eighty-two million and five
hundred thousand dollars, and bringing in
to the company about forty-fve million dol
lars. Ligitation has cost the company one
million dollars, and it has paid about one
thousand hands for labor all the while. Mr..
Wheeler says the "stronger companies are
all right" but he does not say what are the
stronger companies. A great many have
sold machines on long credit on the Install
ment plan at high prices and now that
prices come down it remains to be seen
whether the buyers will stand by their con-
tract, or "go and take fresh hold" buying
a whole new machine for less than the bal
ance due on the unowned aud now second
hand one. Some of the wiser managers of
the companies have been getting rid of all
this credit business and have sold out their
notes aud outstanding contracts entire and
have shown their wisdom by doing so. The
sewing machine industry has for some time
been under the cloud of this coming revolu.
ton. Now that it has come, adjustment to
the new relations and something like healthy
activity is probable.

The President is represented to have
talked to Editor Cowles, of the Cleveland
Leader, like father, the other day, when
he went to the White House with a terrible
story of party detection. He said it was
very true that the Republican party might
encounter temporary defeat, but insisted that
in the end it would come out stronger than
ever. He looked upon the politics of the
country as now in very diseased condition,
and the party as requiring heroic treatment,
which he considers his Southern policy to
be, in order to save it for future usefulness.
While the party may at first lose two or
three northern states, when the beneficent
effects of the policy are fully apparent, it
will regain more than it will lose. lie was
convinced by his advices from North Caro-
lima and Tennessee that the Republicans
will carry both of these states at the next
election; and he thought that Hampton
course was such that in two years he would
receive the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of South Carolina.

THE New York World, speaking of the
recent assassinations in Mississippi, allows
itself to utter ISLANDERS against Judge CHS
holm, and then talk about the matter in this
way; "The democrats and honest people of
Mississippi have been trying for years to get
rid of him (Chisholm) and others like unto
him, who constituted the white portion of
Governor Ames' hackers and supporters.
This is an admission of the truth, which saws
more, probably, than the World intended.
The democrats of Mississippi "have been
trying for years to get rid of Judge CHS.
holm and other leading Republicans. This
explains the assassinations. These demo.
Gratis have intended and tried to put them
out of the way; and now they have done it,
by shooting and hanging them. The World
understands the matter; and it knows, also
that great many Republicans in Mississ.
ippi have been put out of the way by the
same means,

JEFFERSON DAVIS AGAIN--It will be well
for the Southern people not to encourage
speech-making on the part OF Mr.. jefferson
Davis There is no pentence in him, and
too much clarifying of the lost cause. In
response to "a serenade in New Orleans, he
spoke of that cause as crushed but not de
stroyed-for it was the cause of truth, which
is eternal" Again he said, The cause for
which you struggled was that OF justice and
truth. The trials of these may be postponed,
but in the ordering OF Providence must come
at last" And there was much twaddle of
the same sort, which is not in keeping with
the professions of the South, on which the
confidence of the country is now placed.
The cause of slavery and the dismember-
ment OF the Union may be glorifed with
the names of justice and truth, and I" CON
stitutional liberty" but the cause is dead
and must be buried; and the sooner jeff
Davis is at rest with it, unless he can accept
his bereavement in more becoming spirit,
the better for the country. lie is the one
irreconciable from whom we do not care to
hear.

OUR PRE-HIsToRIc CITIEs.--Professor
Hayden and his crop of explorers have been
rewarded in their later researches in the
territory of the far West by the discovery in
southwestern Colorado and in southwestern
Utah of the remains of prehistoric cities,
which show that the fertile valley of the
Animas river must have been inhabited cen
turtles ago by highly intelligent and cult
waited race of people. Upon the banks of
that river they find the ruins of their habita-
tions, Notifications, and also pottery ware
and drawings, the latter bearing inscrip-
tions, which as yet have not been interpreted.
The Navajo Indians say, in regard to these
ruins, that their forefathers came there five
old mems ages ago-fve hundred years-and
that these ruins were there, and the same
then as now, and there is no record what
ever of their origin.

The MURPHY MovEMENT.-The temper.
ance work in Ohio known as the " Murphy
movement" is making lively progress
Meetings are held almost nightly in different
towns, and the pledge is signed by hundreds
of rescued men. The result seems to be very
much like that of religious revival Many
of the speakers are reformed men, and THEN
appeals are calculated to rouse the victims
of intemperance to sense of their condition
and spur them to desperate efforts to shake
off their destructive habit. Mr. Murphy
himself is, of course, not able to attend all
the meetings in different places, but his whole
time is given to the work with the zeal foi
which he is famous. lie is well-known ia
New England, being the Francis Murphy
who formerly lived in Portland, aud for
some years carried Oh the reform work il
Maine and New Hampshire. As temper
ance speaker he is hardly second to Cough
He has not that gentleman genius for min
icry, but he speaks with fervid eloquenc,
and with directness that goes to the heart
of men, He has, moreover a cordial sym
patty for those with whom he deals, and
hearty way OF taking them by tine hand ano
encouraging their efforts, which is very eff
fective and winning.

TEMPERANCE acknowledgements
revivals prevail in New York as we'll as
Pennsylvania. In Middleton, N. Y, a tent
has been erected which will seat fifteen hum
dred people, but it is not half large enough.
Last week Sunday the Protestant churches
were closed aud all the ministers went to
the temperance meeting. All along the
Erie railroad there is intense excitement.
AT Pen Yam j. r. McKelvey, who styles him
self ex-printer, ex-editor and ex-drunkard,
has caused great temperance awakening.
Over one thousand have signed the pledge.
Out of five hundred voters in Wellsboro,
Penn, four hundred have signed the pledge.
And from various other places in these two
states, as well as from Ohio and Michigan,
similar good reports come. In this move
ment reformed men are, as rule, the lead
ers, and always take the most prominent
part,

WELL ENDoRsED.--The New York Iri-
bune, Herald and Times all heartily approve
Of the decision of the President not to call
an extra session of Congress until the mid
die of October, and express the opinion that
the reasons given for the delay are sound
and valid. The Tribune says: at is diff
cult to say who has right to complain OF
the postponement;' the Herald remarks :" that
the country needs rest from political excite.
ment, and by October Congress will be able
to form more intelligent judgment as to
the manner in which our trade and industry
will be affected by the European war;" and
the Times is clearly of the opinion that
"the country will be relieved by the an
nouncement, for the interval is long enough
to be beneficial to trade and to facilitate
mutual understandings between moderate
men, who recognize the common interests
that are at stake, and the extreme men who
care only for the interests of partisanship."

OUR NAvY.-Admiral Porter is credited
with the remark that some single vessels in
the English navy could whip everything
we have got and this and similar state
ments from other authorities in naval mat
ters have led some people to wish that our
government would initiate that of England,
and build few enormous ironcads 1t
should be remembered, however, that those
vessels have not been tested in actual war;
fare, while the tests to which their sea-going
capacities have been subjected have only
shown their weakness, Five of those
boosted iron-clads have sunk within the last
few months, aud it is a well known fact that
English seamen would rather risk battle
in wooden ship than put to sea at all in
one of the iron-cads Our government
does not appear to be likely to have any I'M
mediate use for any more navy than it has
got, and ii it did it might well hesitate TO
build ships Oh the English models.

A DIsGRACED OFFIcrAL.-W. p. Wal
lace, democratic sheriff of Cincinnati, who
took foremost part in organizing the cleo
ton frauds by which his party profted last
fall. and then, to shield himself and his as
>ociates, induced witness to leave the in
risdiction of the court, has been convicted
aud sentenced both to imprisonment and to
pay fine. The testimony in the case ha,
thrown considerable light on the democratic
methods of carrying elections in the city Of
Cincinnati. The verdict leaves Wallace a
thoroughly ruined man. He is reported to
have spent eleven thousand dollars to secure
the office, the first returns of which are i'm
prisonment and disgrace. He has family
of ten children. The men who formed a
plan last fall to elect a democratic candidate
for the assembly in this district by means of
fraudulent votes, but whose rascality was
discovered in time to defeat the project,
have not yet been detected. They deserve a
place in the penitentiary as much as Sheriff
Wallace.

The OTHER SIDE.-The Chicago Inter
Ocean publishes a cable dispatch from Pro-
fessor Mitchell, of that city, who has been in
London for some months, and who reports
some interesting points connected with the
war. He reports that Sir William North
cote, an English traveller of distinction, and
long an officer of the diplomatic service,
arrived in London on Friday of last week
from the scene of conflict. Sir William
avs the outside world is Understanding
military strength of Turkey. Ii Russia
shares this misrepresentation, he thinks the
result will be disastrous to her His theory
is that Turkey has made secret but gigantic
preparations for war, and while protesting a
desire for peace, has expected and wished
for the struggle. He reports that the Turk
ish army on a war footing in European
Turkey alone approaches four hundred thou
sand. He left Bucharest only two weeks
ago, and found strong garrisons at Giurgevo
aud Rustchuk, but was not permitted to
make extended observations. The Turks,
he says, are "inspired by the widest enthu-
siasm," and are ardent for war.
