Over in Washington Court House,
tho City Council some time since
passed an ordinance regulating the
times of opening and closing the sa-
looms. The Fayette Herald, of last
week, anent this ordinance says:
The ringing of the City Hall bell
at o'clock a. m, to notify saloon
keepers that the time has arrived
when they are allowed by ordinance
to open their establishments, has
been discontinued of late. We are
informed it is done by the hon
orable Mayor, as the noise disturbs
his rest at that early hour. The guz-
zlers, who have become accustomed
to listening for the ringing of the bell
as a signal for them to get up for
their morning drinks, object to this
discontinuance.

a'ed friends need take umbrage at
'nv Of our criticisms, as applying
personally 20 them. They live in
the heart Of one Of the most highly
favored agricultural districts in
Washington Territory, and a man
ought to succeed at farming there if
he can anywhere, yet for all this
there are many of them in the man :.
agement of whose farms the "llttle
foxes that spoil the vines" are dis
tinctly noticeable. These things
there, Though comparatively insignif,
icant, are doubtless the result OF
rarelessness, and can be remedied
only in that spirit which recognises
the force of the statement that trihes
form the sum total Of perfection.
Well knowing that continued
praise begets carelessness on the
part Of its object, and that the fiat
terry SO lavishly bestowed upon the
Swinomish farmers has been in some
cases unmerted, we were careful to
speak only from honest convictions.
We may have erred in some cases;
if so, the fault was by no means in

Thousands of men, and women
breathe, move and live-pass off the
stage of life, and are heard Of no
more. Why? None were blessed
by them; mono could point to them
as their means Of redemption; not q
line they wrote, not word they
spoke, could be recalled, and so they
perished; their light went out in

LADIES' FURs.-The fur trade
seems to be greatly depressed. The
war in Europe between the Russians
aud Turks and the stringency of the
money market has caused a great re-
duction in the demand for the more
costly furs. The Colonst of the
l4th says: "The report of the Hud.
son Bay Company states that the
Committee regret that they are un.
able to announce any improvement
in the state Of the fur trade since the
date of their last report. Indeed the
Company's autumn fur sale was
marked by still greater depression
than upon previons occasions, and it
resulted in further fall of about 20
per cent. in the prices of martens,
minks, and other fine furs. The pro
cceds of the sale amounted to Gl3,.
600 less than the sum realized at the
sale of the corresponding period of
last year, when nearly the same
quantity Of furs was sold. In the
ABSENCE of complete accounts from
the varions departments, and in the
present state of the fur market, the
Committee do not consider them
selves justified in recommending the
payment Of an interim diyiden d."
The ladies may now indulge their de.
sres for furs and obtain supplies
lower than they have been for years.

THE Patrons of Husbandary were organ
lied for the purpose of emancipating agri-
culturists from the thraldom of monopolies,
commercial and political, and to save them
from the grasp Of swindlers in general But
it would seem that their chosen and trusted
agents are human, and occasionally one of
them turns up missing, leaving gap in his
accounts and an aching void in the Granger
Treasury, in just the same way that
other Judiciary officers do. The latest
lapse from the path of rectitude on the part
OF a grange official has just come to light
in Philadelphia, where, it has been dis
covered, the purchasing agent of that
bucoic organization In New Jersey is de-
faulter to the extent 5000 or $4,000
with but meager assets 70 make the society
"solid." There is gnashing of teeth over
the affair among the thrifty sweet-potato
eultivators.

On Wednesday of last week the vote of
Florida was again counted up by the State
board of canvassers, in obedience to an or
der issued from the Supreme Court. The
new canvass included all the returns, ac-
cording to their face, and without taking
account of the alleged frauds in voting and
returning the result The totals Of the
new count gave majority Of 1875 for Drew,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
over Stearns, the present officer. Bisbee,
one of the Republican candidates for Con-
gress, still has handsome majority, but
Purman is defeated. The vote for Presi-
Dental electors does dot appear to have
been included in the scope of the mandamus
under which the recount was made, but the
board Of canvassers announce that Hayes
and Wheeler have still carried the State
by BOB majority. This is after allowing all
that the Democrats have claimed. The
final result will probably be the recognition
Of Drew (who is Liberal Republican from
the North as Governor, while the electoral
vote Of Florida for the Republican national
candidates cannot be again assailcd.

SPEAKER Randall of the House of Re
presentatiyes is determined to try conclu-
sion5 with the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Mr. Orton, the President, posi-
lively declines to 90 to New Orleans to tell
things Of which he knows nothing personal
ly, and Mr. Randall says that he cannot be
excused. 1t is for the House to say what
course shall be taken, and as the House is
pretty sure to do whatever Randall wishes
it to there is a good prospect Of a conflict.
IF the purpose to obtain the desired tele-
grams Is insisted upon Mr.. Orton will prob
ably be arrested for contempt Of the House,
and then the case will 90 to the Courts on
a writ Of habeas corpus. 1t may then be
decided whether Congress has power to de-
mand at It's will the private telegraphic cor
respondence Of citizens. Meanwhile the
telegraph company has done what prudence
dictated long ago. 1t has taken the dis
patches from the control Of its officers, and
ordered their immediate destruction. 1t is
the only safeguard against such inquisitorial
power as the House asserts.

PRESIDENTIAL.

Every thing appears to be drifting towards
quiet, legal, aud peaceful Inauguration Of
Gov. Hayes as President of the United
States, next March. The people so ordered
it last November, and the turbulent elements
begin to obey. Bull-dozing don't pay big
interest out side of Rebeldom The ever
loyal North which has always been true tO
the Union, and gave Hayes and Wheeler an
overwhelming majority, demands that law
and order shall be obeyed. Cowards and
sneaks talk oudest and threaten most when
no danger is near, but when called to book,
invariably sneak away into their dirty holes
and await their time to bark again.
The investigating committees which were
sent out in the interest of the Tilden style of
Reformers, are rapidly coming to grief. In
South Carolina the committee found that by
counting all the votes cast last November,
without throwing out those known to be
fraudulent, Gov Hayes has still a good
majority.
La Florida the Supreme Court of that
State ordered the board of state canvassers
to make a new count, which the board did,
and Hayes and Wheeler still have a decided
majority.
In Louisiana the Investigations confirm
the charges previously made, that great
many Of the Republicans, especially the
coored republicans, were not allowed to vote
as they desired; that by regular system OF
bulldozing, which consisted of murders, fog
ging, threatenings of violence, or to discharge
from labor, that they were thus either preven-
ted from voting at all, or to save the posi-
tions as labors, compelled to vote the icket
which they loathed. These facts will be sufi-
cicnt in law and before the country to justify
the State Canvassipg Board 10 giving the
Hayes electors the certificates of election.
In Oregon, the Grovcr-Cronin Tilden-
Reform fraud, by which the Reformers hoped
to defeat Hayes by investigation, has become
so coatemptbly mean, unlawful, and scound-
erly on its face, that the Tiden Reformers
themselves are already so ashamed oft, that
many have declared that they will not profit
by it. And thus the way clears up for
Hayes Inauguration.
