RVsISESs REVIVAL.

/. looks very much like whistlng Il
keep up courage to talk about the re-
vival of trade; yet there sre some signs
OF the approach OF better condition OF
things. The crops of the country are
fine and the demand for them good At
tair prices. Large sums of money are
being shipped West to aid in getting pro
duce to market. Over three millions of
green backs came West from the New
York banks alone last week and the
stream still flows in steady volume.
Active business creates demand tor
money, and the demand is clearly on the
increase. Itis the opinion OF those who
watch narrowly the signs OF the times,
that business of all kinds will be better
this fall than since 1873, because it Is i'm.
possible for the farmer to prosper with
out al kinds OF industry sharing in the
prosperity.

NuIn,ercs,ing Historical Fact

From the y. !. sun, Aug. 4jh.
After the argumeu1 upon the Florida
case before the Electoral Commission IN
Washington, Judge Bradley wrote out
his opinion and his decision N full. He
conpIe,cd il about 6 O'Clock in the even
ing Of the day before the judgment OF
the Commission was to be announced,
and read IT To Judge Clifford and Judge
Field. who were likewise members of the
Commission. 1t contained, first, sn ar
gument and secondly, conclusion. The
argument was precisely the same as that
which appears in the public document;
but Judge Brsdleys conclusion was that
thevJ of the Tilden electors in Flori-
da we're the only votes which ought 10
be counted as coming from that Stste.
This was the character of the paper
when Judge Bradley finished 1t, and
when he communicated 1t to hls col
leagues. During the whole OF that night
Judge Brsdleys house in Washington
WAS surrounded by the carriages OF visl-
tors who came 10 see him, apparently
about the decision Of the Electoral Com
mission. which, as we have said, was to
be announced the next day. These visl-
tors included leading Republicans, IS well
ss persons deeply interested in the Texas
Pacific railroad scheme.
When the Commission assembled the
next morning, and when the Judgment
was declared, Judge Bradley gave his
voice IN favor of counting the votes of
the HAYES Electors in Florida The ar
gument he did not deliver at the time ;
but when it came to be printed subse-
quentlv it was found to be precisely the
same as the argument which he had orig
inslly drawn up, and on which be had
based his first conclusions in favor Of the
! Tildel ELECTORS.

THEELECTION NTHROUGHOUT THE
STATE.

In the proper column will be found
REGISTER specials from number OF
points, in the three districts, throughout
the State, which NAV be sufficient data
for some OF our lightning election cslcu-
lstors TO figure out the result u their
own satisfaction.
At this writing, with kanswha coun,
ty 10 hesr from, it is very uncertain
business to speculate on the result. The
vote cast at some of the towns in the first
and second districts certainty shows u
good deal OF dlsahection toward Clarks-
burg. At Parkersburg, tor instance,
where Charleston receives within
tfty.three votes OF ss many
as Clsrksburg. Likewise at Grafton,
which is so near Carksburg as to induce
one to suppose her vote would be cast
nearly solid for her neghbor; yet she
polls 100 votes for Charleston, and only
pa for Clarksburg. Al Morgsntown a
like state OF affairs is apparent. Clarks'
burg gets 247, while Charleston receives
1879. The places enumerated may be the
stronghods of Charleston, and later re.
turns from the country districts
NAV turn the tables in The
opposite direction. Yet there Is
likelihood that it may not. However,
Charleston's success on the tirst ballot
will depend much upon her ability 10
turn out the solid vote IN the third dis
trict. which she boasted as being st her
command. If that is accomplished,
then together with the votes cast in her
favor in the First and Second districts,
she may pull through.
The Martlnsburg vote Is much larger
than expected, and in consequence OF the
vigorous effort for capital honors made
by that city, the chances of both her
competitors for success on the first ballot
are greatly dimi ished. If it turns out that
neither Charleston Eor Clsrksburg gets
a majority ofth whole vote cast then the
lowest contestant is compelled tt quit the
field, and the fight will be resumed be-
tween the two remaining places at the
next general election, which takes place
on the Sta day OF Octobe~, 1878, unless IL
the meantime the Legislature is con
vened and the .sw repealed.
2:3OA. M.-SiLce writing the above Il
special is at hand which says kanswh"

be too severe to say that there was no
