Business i'm Canada.

The Mercantile Agency of Dun, Wi
man & Co., of Canada, has issued cir
cular reviewing the business results OF
1876 in the Dominion of Canada. 1t is
a new thing in the business world and is
intended to be an annual affair. The
agency reports that the year has been a
hard one for the Dominion merchants,
and there has been surprising number
of failures. The following is the state
ment of failures for the last four years

While the Tilden States of New York,
Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee get cab
met representatives, and the Tilden State
of Kentucky is to get Supreme Judge
ship and the English mission, the Philf-
delphia Times thinks it will be hard work
to get Pennsylvania Republicans to the
polls, when the State didn't get any
thing.-Bdlt. Gazette.
1t is altogether probable that Mr.. Hayes
would prefer that Pennsylvania should go
for the Democrats since his own State,
Ohio, has done so; and then again he no
doubt begins to feel that the Democrats
are more friendly to him than his former
political friends.

The Turkish Government evidently
intends that its troops shall not lack for
trst-class arms and ammunition, and
hence there are now two vessels at New
Haven loading with rifles, pistols and
cartridges, intended for the use of the
Moslems. So far as the department Of
manufacturing is concerned, our arms
makers have reaped rich harvest, just
as the farmers are being largely benefit

The news of victory for the Russians
in Asia is received with a great deal of
satisfaction by the people generally, as
between the combatants all Christian
people must sympathize with the Gar
aud his armies that are now struggling
to relieve the down trodden nations who
have SO long been subject to the horrid
brutality of the Turks. 1t is altogether
likely that other great victories for the
Russians will soon follow. The Turks
cannot endure as much as the Russians
can; nor can the Turkish armies be sup
piled with men to keep up the regiments
to the necessary number to withstand
the continued friction of the war.

South Carolina desires to reorganize
her militia on respectable scale. She
has made an appeal to the Secretary of
War for about six thousaLd arms and
equipments. Governor Wade Hampton
endorses the application. There is no
doubt that the South Carolina militia
would soon become fine body of SOL
diers under experienced and trustworthy
officers, and thus constitute bulwark of
safety in time of trouble. And then it
is just and right that the white people
who have been so long disarmed and
held at the mercy of negroes armed by
the order of Grant and the Radical War
Department, should be supplied with all
the arms they require. Instead of 5000
they should be given 10000.

DEAR E1f1oR.-Please' to allow me a
small space in your valuable paper to
make some Objecuon to tho mode in
which the premiums to the through
breds were awarded at the Middletown
Fair. There were three horses brought
forward as cOrnpetit0rs t'Scathe block, :
'Begatee, and horse they called Pfiam.
The Judges looked over them andauard-
ed the premium 70 this horse Priam,
without ever knowing his pedigree, be-
large capitalist from the upper part Of
the State ofDelaware, He Is not through
bread and it can be proved that he is
not The other TIVE are throughbreds
which is established beyond controversy.
"Scathelock," decidedly the finest horse
of the three, did not get passing notice.
He was pronounced BY com petept judges
TO be the handsomest horse they ever
saw. Still the trio Of wisdom did not
condesoend to notice him for the reason
that he belonged TO man of humble cir
To show you, Mr. Editor the, high es-
timation that Scathelock Is held in by
the people who know q thoroughbred
from dunghill will quote the follow
ing which was published in q Charlotte
vile paper on his leaving Virginia to
come to Maryland AitE tii " sGN1 III li
sour old ,favorite s'Scathelock" was
certainly the handsomest horse ipi,Vir-
ginia, II not in the United States. He
took the first premium for throughbreds
at Culpepper Fair, fall of1S75, and also at
."Stsunton and Lynohburg last fall. Tho
"eemmittee at 6taunton made an ad.
"ditional statement that he was the finest
"horse they had seen in the State, Two
"committees at Richmond have been
"equally divided between him and Abdel
"Kader, requiring the fifth party to de-
"cide it," IT st'
Now, Mr. Editor, you will see the fol-
ly In calling out throughbreds when you
put gentlemen on the committee that
know so much that they think their in
formation cannot be improved. If they
had called for stud book they would
have seen at a glance that their great
favorite that they went so Ear out Of the
way to give. premium to, did not be-
long in that class, much less to get pre-
MUM. I think that the Association
would further its interests by appointing
impartial judges and take some of their
funds and buy stud book forthe informa-
ton of the committee on throughbreds,

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Message sent in yesterday affords |
business-like, and is so strictly confined to |
the few subjects which render the extra ses- |
sion necessary as to raise no questions on
which there can be q reasonable difference
of opinion. Nobody disputes that the ar
my ought to be paid. The ground on which
the appropriation for paying it was with
held by the last House OF Representatives
has entirely disappeared. The army ap-
preparation failed in the last Congress be-
cause the democratic House inserted a pro-
viso which the republican Senate refused
10 accept, forbidding the use of troops to
set up or pull down State governments in
the South. The Southern policy of Presi-
dent Hayes has rendered such precaution
superfiuous, and there can be no further
democratic objection to passing the Army
Appropriation bill when it is in proper
form. Every Southern State has now a
democratic Governor and Democratic
Legislature, and there will be no more bo
gus applications for federal assistance il
suppreSsing domestic violence.
ThePresident recon m ends an imme1iat
appropriation sufficient to pay the army oi
the present scale for the remainder OF tn
fiscal year, without waiting to determin
what the future size of the army shall bt
The President also recommends appropri
ations to supply thedefciencies in the Ns
Wy and the Department of Justice and ais
small appropriations TO enable our citizen
TO take part in the Paris International E.
position and the International Prison Coz
gress at Stockholm. Action on thet la
is recommended now in order to afroI
adequate time for preparation. As the
Is no topic in the Message which is likely
be made a party question we trust Congre
will act promptly without consuming tin
in idle debate. On these non-partisan su
jects, at least, Mr.. Hayes will probab
merit the cordial support of most of h
poll ical opponents.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS, 1871.
THE LOUISIANA SENATOR QUESTION UN-
.z BxPEeEHDLy MISUNDERSTANDING
THE REPUBLICANS ON THE soUTHERN
PnIlIoY, !INLEI tiw#lf' :
The democrats did not complete the re-
hearsal In caucus, this morning OF the
speeches they intend making on presenting
Mr.. Spofford TO the senate and so that event
was unexpectedly postponed. 70 the great
delight OF some OF the administration re7

Spoford may yet entirely blow over. Some
ofthese gentlemen believeln the Presidents

was In favor Of the liquor law, but opposed
TO enforcing it. ssf.. T. a.4 n1rf
The Democrats are bent upon having the
contest in regard to the admission of Sena-
tors from Louisiana and South Carolina
settled. Senator Bayard said to-day that
they were determined TO press these cases
70 an issue, and declared that they would
never consent to anadjournment until they
were decided. He said that the cases were
so plain that they would not admit OF any
argument. Spofrord and Eustis from Leu
isisna and Butler nom South Carolina were
so clearly entitled to their seats that he
could not see how their admission could Oe
seriously contested. All the Democratic
Senators talk in the same way, and 1t Is
noticeable at the same time that they de-
clare their intention TO give the Adminis-
tralion frank and hearty support wher-
ever they can consistently do so. Its nom-
inations win be fairly considered, and no
faotious opposition made TO their confirma-
ton. Neither will the Democrats make
any effort to capture the organization OF
the Senate. They can afford TO wait two
years, when, in the natural course OF events,
the organization will drop into their hands.
All this talk is of course very pretty, but 1t
does not sound so magnanimous in Repub-
lican ears. The oldfashion ed, true-blu
Republican dosen't enjoy hearing the DEM
ocrats talk about their magnanimity in
not recognizing the Senate and their gen.
erosity in not opposing the policy OF the
Administration. They say that the conf
dence with which the Democrats talk
about seating the Louisiana and South
Carolina Senators is suspicious. This
means in plain English that the anti-Ad
ministration Republicans suspect that
there is some understanding between the
Democrats and Administration Senators
"How else" they ask, scan they expect to
| seat Spofrerd, Eustis and Butler If they do
not feel sure of getting some Republican
| votes?
THE SENATE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
| In the Senate dem ocratic caucus speeches
were made by Mr. Bayard and others, the
tenor OF which was pretty much of the same
puIport as yesterdays discussion. Mr..
| Spofford's credentials would have been
presented in the Senate had it not been fol-
his own request for delay. Some of the
Senators thought it would have been best
to make the contest at once, while Others
took the view that 1t was best to defer the
motion to admit Mr.. Spofford until they
were certain OF enough votes to assure sue
Il cess.

Senator Blaine does not aspire to be
the Republican candidate for President
in 1880, because he believes that the
Democrats will sweep the country at
that election. They will choose Presi-
dent who, according to Blaine, will sue
cumb to the South and thus create re-
action which will make Republican
victory certain and easy in 1874. That's
the time when Blaine wants the nomina-
tion, and he viii direct his efforts to that
