Capital Notes.

The meeting at the Court House in this

a par with most Of suCh meetings
throughout the State. Several hundred
people were present at one time and an
other during its continuance, twas not.
however, multitudious nor very spirit.
ed gathering. The fact ia that there is
no marked division Of sentiment in this
community on the Capital question
most Of the people tavoring ClSrksburg-
but at the same time there is great deal
Of apathy about the whole matter-an
apathy that our Clarksburg friends must
look after more sharply than they have
done up to this time, or else be cOntented
with a small vote.
"That brilliant and gifted prophetic
editor who presides over the destinieS Of
the Charleston Journal made a wonderful
mistake in Epringing the question Of an
"eighty-mile railroad TO Parkersburg
over level country" in opposition to
the we'll kown Elk river route. The
declaration was premature and the Ian.
guage unauthorized by those who are
managing the Third district canvass, as
Judge Ferguson took the pains to assure
the people Of this section during his late
visit among us.-BrGrton Mountdineer.

Has MIR. Garrett Resigned the
Presidency of the Il. 60:

Chicago Tribune OislturdAy.
During the last few days rumors have
been in circulation that Mr.. John w.
Garrett has resigned the Presidency OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and that
John King, First Vice President, has been
elected to ill his place. Though no in
formation has been received from the
East 10 confirm the rumors, yet it is be-
lieved in railway circles that they are
we'll founded. 4 meeting OF the Board
Of Directors was held in Baltimore a few
days ago, and that the proceedings have
not yet been published goes to show that
something has been done which the man.
ayers OF the road are anxious TO keep
from the public until they are ready TO
make the official announcement. They
can do this in Baltimore, as the papers
Of thatcity are not as vigilant and enter
prisipg as they are in Chicago, where an
important change in the management OF
a leading road could not be kept from the
public for an hour. II the rumor Is con-
frmed, It does not follow, however, that
there will be a radical change in the
management, Mr.. King will undOubted-
ly carry out Mr.. CARROTS policy to the
letter. He has been the real manager Of
the road for many years, and is Mr.. Gar.
retts son-in.law. Mr.. Garrett is i'm.
mensely wealthy and Is getting old; Il is
therefore but natural that he should be
anxious to retire from active work and
place his interests in the hands Of his
son:in'law, who is as competent to gil the
position as any man who could have been
chosen.

in this city, bought, for the most part, at
IS cents. According to the Welhburg
Herald 40 cent? has been the prevailing
price in Brooke county, although some
fancy clips have sold higher.
The bank clearings at PittSbur gh for
the two weeks ending June lG, were S..
7O9,S2i as against sS,405,5ll same time
last year-an increase Of III per cent.
Commenting on this increase the New
York Rbie makes the following remark:
"ltis the one encouraging feature Of
the returns that the exchanges from i'm.
aportant manufacturing centres, Boston
and Pittsburgh especially, look so we'll.
For long time the depression was rather
Of manufacturing industry than Of trade,
but the situation has become more hope.
ful for labor"
1t is a fact not generally known that
more nails were manufactured in the
United States last year than in 1873, but
not so many as in 1874 or '75.
The effect Of machinery upon the in.
duItrial interests Of the world generally,
is subject that frequently engages the
attention Of the economist. In this con.
nection the following estimates OF the Ia.
bor.suving effects OF steam motive.powtr,
made By DR.. Engel, the head Of the stats.
tical bureau al. Berlin, Germany, will be
interesting, According to DR.. Engel, the
aggregate steam motive.power at present
in use in the world ia three and one.
half millions horse power, employed in
stationary engines, and ten millions
horse power in locomotive engines, max.
iug total Of thirteen and one.hAlf mil
lions horse power. This force Is main.
tanned without the use Of animal food,
except by the miners who dig the coal
and provide tho iuel, and the force
maintained in the muscles to the force
generated by the product labor oS
about one to 1000. This steam power
is equal to the working force Of 95,OOO,.
600 horses, and one horse consumes three
times rs much food as one man. The
steam power, therefore, is equivalent 10
the saving Of food for 100000 human
beings. Again, three power looms, at.
tended by one man, produce daily IS
pieces Of cotton fabric against four pieces
produced by one hand loom worked by
one man in the year 1900. Again, car.
penter's planning machine does the work
Of twenty men. This, Of course, is but the
merest outline OF what il accomplished BY
the use Of steam power and labor saving
machinery. Some persons think that
this great increase Of production by ma.
chinery is at the bottom Of the great de.
preston in business that now exists
throughout the civilized world.

\ Quick Trip by Rev. MIR. lie
HuyS,

The Rev. Frank De Hass, we'll known
in this city and vicinity, furnishes let
ter to the Omaha (Neb.) Republican, in
which he gives an account Of tour he
has lately made around the world in GS
days Of actual travelling time. The letter
is dated at Jerusalem, May 10, 1877. The
outline OF the journey We quote, greatly
condemned, in the following:
Having safely returned TO nv post,
take pleasure in furnishing your readers,
agreeably to promise, with brief notice
OF my quick and successful tour around
the world. Not counting the time lay
over at different points, as these breaks in
the journey could all have been avoided,
l made the entire circuit OF the globe in
exactly GS days, and but for heavy, wealth
er on the Pacific would have made it
in e. days. The journey from Alex.
andria, Egypt, via Brindisi and Paris to
London, and from thence to New York
and San Francisco, was accomplished in
twenty days, and We were just the same
number Of days going from San Francisco
to Yokohama, Japan. Crossing over
from here 10 Canton, in China took SIX
days. 4 sail Of ten days over the China
Sea and through the Strait Of Malaccn,
touching at several points we have not
time to notice, brought us to Ceylon, of
the southern coast of Hindustau, and one
OF the richest Of the East India Islands.
Thence we sailed directly TO Suez, in
Egypt, which took twelve days, ard from
thence, in few hours, BY rail 10 Alexan.
dria, our starting point, making the en-.
tire distance Of 5000 miles-l6.0OO by
water and 5000 on land-in Is days,
without any accident or detention Of any
kind"

rhc volume Of Currencr.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, In
reply to inquiries on the subject, states
that there /, a common mistake about
the contraction Of the paper currency.
10 1872 there were, in round numbers,
sS5l,OOOOOO outstanding in bank.notes,
$55G,OOO,0OO in legal.tenders, and $40.
100000 in fractional currency, in all
s7jO,OOO,0O0. Last weeks statement gave
$3l75OoOOO in bank.notes, $500, 5000
in lcgal-tenders, and s9l 900, 900 in frac.
tiOnal currency, making in all 100000
900 outstanding. This makes seeming
reduction Of S5l,OOO,OOO, but in place Of
$9O,OOOOOO Of fractional currency called
in, and Of nearly S. 100000 legal.tenderu
held for redemption Of fractional currsu.
cy not yet presented, silver coin has been
used, so that the actual reduction in the
common currency is but SCI 100000. II
We add the increase in gold we shall find
that the total Of both currencies is actu.
ally greater now than It was in 1872. It
is added, toe, that the loans and discounts
instead oil shrinking, have increased, now
amounting to about 1890, 100000, against
Ss72,OOO,0OO in 1872.

Something for the Changers 10
Consider.

Iowa Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
1t is good policy to bring the producer
and consumer as near together as posi-
bic. The policy OF the Changers, as ex.
emplifed in the State Grange, has been
to crush out mechanical industry and
manufacturing in this State. In this city
are several manufactures Of agricultural
implements. Limited in capital they are
struggling for successful existence.
When application was made 10 the
agency of the State Grange to supply i'm
plements, they were informed that unless
they could compete with implements
made BY convict labor in the peniten-
tiaries Of Ohio, Michigan and Iowa,
they could get no contracts. That, with
free labor, it was impossible to DO; and
thus, instead Of bringing thousand me-
chanics 10 this city to consume the farm
ers' products, saving to him his trans.
portation, they are kept out, and the
farmer gets his implements at low
price, but loses twice the sum on his pro.
ducts and what he consumes. Whist is
true here is applicable all over the State.
Minneapolis handled 5,950,OOO bushels
Of wheat the past year, but sent abroad
only about $4,000 bushels of the grain.
The rest OF it came down to the sea coast
in the form Of barrels Of flour, branded
with Sea Foam, Red Letter, Old Glory,
and the other imaginative titles in which
