II the republicans do not carry Massa-
chusetts next week, it will not be on ac-
count of party dissensions. Gov Rice has
the support of all factions, and can be de-
feated only by the stay-at home vote. His
frank Endorsement ofthe Presidents course
has won to his support the Adams faction,
which calls itself independent, but which
usually does its best to aid the democratic
ticket. This is not large element, but il
Is important in close fight, and it seems
to be supporting Mr.. Rice with unusal sin.

The report of DR.. Edward Young. Chief
Of the Bureau Of Statistics, shows that the
commerce of the United States for nine
months ending September 80. in merchan-
disc, was $796. 100000. In the same
period in 1876, the commerce of the
country only amounted to $73S. 900. 900.
showing an increase of $1,000. 600 in
nine months. The movement of specie
in the nine months of this year amounted
to 100000, 900, and last year, s5s,0OO,-
600, the principal change in respect to
specie being that this year there was less
exported. The excess of the export over
the import being $24.sO0,0OO, while last
year it was $37. 800. 900. The balance of
trade remains largely in favor of the
United States. Upon merchandise the
balance Is $53, 900. 900 in our favor in the
nine months. The balance in the same
period last year being $77.7OO,000.

The new feature in the Kellogg and

secure the organization of the Nichols
legislature, will give special interest to
the investigation now commenced. The
request of Kellogg to investigate this
matter it is said was not made at ran.
dom, but with purpose and after con-
sultation with Senators who had been
shown the charges and evidence with re-
spect to that subject. The efforts of the
commission that visited New Orleans were
directed. in the first place, to securing a
consolidation of the two rival Legislatures.
The Nichols legislature had more than a
quorum of senator's. but more than q
quorum of the lower house remained
with Packard and seemed immovable.
1t is stated that at this time the Nichols
people raised about $40 900 to expend in
securing majority for their legislature,
and the specific allegation is made by re-
publicans that $4,000 were used in
transferring eight members from the
Packard legislature to that of Nichols
1t is not charged that the commission
had anything to do with these transac-
tions. and the request to have this mat
ter Investigated was not aimed at the men,
bers of the commission. as was at first
supposed.

Reticent as are the Southern senators and
representatives at Washington, and desir-
Gus, as well they may be, of avoiding diff
culties at this stage of the session, the sen.
timent and purpose which prevail through
out the South are too apparent in its news
papers and in the talk of its ordinary peo-
pie to be mistaken. We cannot suppose
that the President is ignorant of the fact,
though we may wonder whether he appre-
ciates it's significance and the effect it is
producing upon Northern opinion. 1t
helps TO explain and to justify the uneas-
ness occasioned by some features of his
policy, and the distrust with which his re-
lations toward influential Southerners are
regarded. And it should convince him of
the propriety and expediency of going, if
necessary, little out of the beaten path
to remove causes of misapprehension and
to re-estabish a cordial understanding
with the great body of his party lines.

The British team shot remarkably well

stated that great interest was felt in Eng.

the money, to the extent Of S, 800 reqnis-

team here, was raised by subscription
headed by the Prince OF Wales. The teat
