wars and murder cases, seem to be trying to
get Up the Governor question. 1t will be
difficult, however, to arouse any very active
interest in the subject among the people, for
some months to come. We are still in the
''off year" for State politics and the voters
will not seriously bother their heads with
the "claims" and desires Of aspirants, OF at
till the time for choice is considerably
nearer OF course there is some talking
up Of possible candidates., mainly confined,
thus far, to names which have been to a
greater or less extent brought forward in
previous canyasscs. Judge Pierp0int has
been talked of before. Everybody who
knows the Judge respects him and when

TmE Albany ErcHmg JOiuHai, which has
had rather rough time in recOnciling its
faithful allegiance to Senator Conkling with
its desire to think well of President HAYES,
is Disguised by the denomination OF the New

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, goes to the
President and gets him to make and unmakc
marshals at pleasure, The whole New York
delegation goes to the President with re-
commentator, and they arc told that there
must be no Congressional interference with

New York can be saved to Rcpublicanism
by two things First. by bold, earnest,

Mere responsibility will not carry the
State. Good p,incip.es alone are not enough.
They are, indeed, indispensable, but they
must be vitalizcd and energ'zei by the work
ing forces which bring out the full organic
strength. If the working power of the par
ty shall he in full, free play, the state can be
saved if not. 1t will be hopclcssly lost. The
thought at Washington seems to be to drive
the active commanders to their tents, and
put the army under dainty figure heads. 1t
appears to reason that the true way to give
an organization strength is to deprive it of
all strength of organization. With the
whole future depending On New York, the
true policy is to unite and consolidate its
Republicans but the theory at Washington
seems to be to distract and disarm them,

FASHION NOTES.


FASHION NOTES.
NEw YORK, Dec. 10, 1877.
To the Editor o. the Free Press and Times.
The baby show has closed. The hall
was thronged for days, and mostly
by women. Mothers who have lost their
children came in throngs, as if the sight oil
living children was, in some sense, consola-
ton for their loss. Another genids has de-
yised a still more taking notion. lie has
advertised for two thousand colored babies,
which he proposes to put on exhibition at
once. lie has divided them up among the
States, and intends having them from all
over the South. He pays travelling ex-
penses to and from the city, and expenses
while here. lie could get his two thousand
from New York alone, but the point in the
exhibition is TO show the raw material from
the South as well az those who have been
favored with the civilzing influences OF the
Irish, Italian and Chinese residents of this
city. 1t will make a show such as the city
never before saw, and everybody anticipates
great deal Of fun out of it.
THE CIGAR-NAKERS' STRIKE
continues with varying fortune. Some lew
of the manufacturers, whose orders were
weeks behind in consequence Of the strike,
have succumbed anu takeE back their hands
at the advance asked, while others still hold
out. Five hundred of them have organized
cooperative factory, and are going into
business for themselves This is a move in
the right direction. II workmen can start
for themselves when wages don't suit them,
they have solved the labor question. But,
alas. there will be forty heads to it, they will
get dishonest and inefficient men in control,
there will be all sorts of irregularities and it
will doubtless fail. Still, am glad it is
being tried There will be thousand fail
urcs before they learn how TO do it, but
when they have once learned, it will be a
great thing for labor. The cigar-makers
can as well afford to experiment as any
other class. Thursday, five thousand OF
them, men, women and children. turned out
in procession, with banners and music, and
made a very respectable demonstration. They
cheered the factories that were paying the
advance and Kissed. most emphatically, those
still holding out.

The struggle over the New York Offices,
between Secretary Eyarts and Senator Conk
ling is the theme of talk among the politl-
clans. They are sadly divided about 1t. One
faction claims that all the reforms carried
out by Secretary Sherman were urged by
Collector Arthur, months before the new
administration came in, and that under the
Civil Service rules he ought not to be re
moved while the other side insists that
Collector Arthur having tolerated the
abuses, ought not to be retained. Arthur Is
an honest man, but doubt whether there
would have been 50 sweeping change in
the method of running the Custom House but
for the decisive action taken at Washington.
1t is thousand ptles that the trouble can
not be healed. and the integrity of the State
preserved. This is no time to split up into
factions and let the enemy beat US in detail.
