Hog Packing In Chicago.

From tho Chicago lines
a history OF the packing season in Chi,
cago-summcr and winter-for the year
ending with November !, is presented in
another part OF this paper. 1t shows the
enormous aggregate OF 4,593,OOO hogs pack
ed during the year, which is an increase OF
80 per cent over the business, at that time
Unprecedented, OF the previous year. No
other city in the West, or in the world, it
isneedless to say, competes with Chicago
in this branch OF industry, and the bust
ness seems to go on increasing in gcometri'
cal progression. For the coming season
the killing capacity OF the houses has been
increased to G0,0O0 per day, and there IS o
chance thnt il may all be needed. 1t is
worth noting that one.half of this trc'
mcntlous business is done by two houses,
the remainder being shared by about
twenty smaller firms.

MISSOURI.

ST. Louis, November The reported
returns from all the counties in the Ninety.
eighth District give Ford, Greenback Re-
publican, 500 majority over Rea, Demo-
Crat. The election ofSawycr, Independent
Democrat, over Crisp, the regular Demo-
crat, is by 500 majority.
In the Sixth District the returns indi-
cate the election OF Waddel by 1000 ma
jority.
Pollard, Rep, the present incumbent, is
undoubtedly beaten in the Tenth District
by Rothwell, Dem.
Sr. LOUIS, November lit Is now re-
ported that Rothwell has 4, 900 majority in
the Tenth district over Pollard, Rep, the
present member Kitchen, Greenbacker,
Is developing good deal OF strength in the
Fourth district, but the returns are too
meagrc, yet to state thc result. 1t is more
than probable, however, that Davis, DEM,
will be elected. Ritchey, Grcenbacker, is
also making good runs in the Sixth dis
trict, but Waddell, Dem, will no doubt be
elected.
ST.. LOUIS, November IA Kansas City
dispatch says. The Democrats concedc
the election ofSawyer, Independent Dem.
ocrat in the eighth district, BY almost 600.
The entire Democrat county ticket was
elected In Kansas City from 500 to 600
majority, while the same city gave Saw
yer 1000 majority.

rior of the State come in slow, and the
actual result in any Congressional District
outside OF this city cannot be given. There
does not sOom DO any doubt about the dc.

Massachusetts, deserves to have Butler ior
Governor, as n sort OF poisoned chalice,
we rejoice at his overthrow. He Is 0 foul
blot upon the politics Of the country, and
he is unworthy OF any position OF trust or
honor. With Butler perish all the hopes
OF the National Grecnback Labor party.
Had he been elected, the fact would have
given encouragement to this party OF de-
tusions, and would have kept its organiza-
ton alive. Ben.'s defeat must convince
the most sanguine OF them that they are
in hopeless minority; and, having been
beaten where their chances are best, they
have nothing to expect elsewhere"
HAPPY EFFECT.
A letter dated at Sumterville, S. G., Oct.
30, from Republican Of standing there.
saws that the steps taken by the General
Government to suppress diSorderhave had
u very happy effect; that the country since
the arrests under instructions OF the Attor-
ncy General, had been quiet and peacea'
bic; that thei Republicans had held meet
ings which were undisturbed, and that
Judge Lee, the most obnoxious ofthe col
ored Republicans, had been allowed to
speak Mt each OF them. Some OF the prom.
inent Democrats had been so much im.
pressed bv the action OF the Government,
which was entirely unexpected to them,
that they had called upon the Republicans
who were supposed TO have influence in
Washington, asking that it might be eX:
ertcd to prevent any further arrests OF
men who had been engaged in past dis.
turbanccs, upon promise that there should
be no further violence up to and including
the day OF election.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS.
Tho President to-day, in speaking Of the
elections, said that they included the de-
feat Of Pottcrism, Butlcrism, Fiatlsm,
Communism and Tammany.
NOT so VERY SOLID.
The South seems not to be quite as
"solid" rs the Democracy have expected.
The following dispatch was received here
this evening:
"JACKsoNvELLE, FLA. Nov. q.

Florida.
[Signed1 "II. JENKINS, !StcrstUry.
"P. WALTER, Treasurer ErecNi~ COM
Hiitee.
Florida is, therefore, tic, the First Dis
trict being Democratic, and in case the
next Presidential election should he
thrown into the, House OF Representatives,
her vote, which the Democrats have conf
IDENTIFY counted upon, will be lost to them.
ANDTmE DEMOCRACY Just MISSED 1T.
By including Nevada and Florida, the
Democrats here had completed their list
OF twenty State delegations necessary to
elect President in the House of Repre-
sentatives. This result in Florida leaves
them with only nineteen States, and gives
the Republicans the same number, in
which case there could be no election by
the House. Tho result yesterday has
caused tho Democrats here to lose much
interest in the question Of securing ma
jority Of the delegation, sinccif the States
which are now Republican in the North
remain SO, their Electoral vote will be 2l3
against only 1856 left to the Democracy
through the solid South, REINFORCED by
Indiana and Oregon.

CincIhEatl Gazette.
The experience OF the mild weather last
winter, 10 say nothing OF the Southern
pcstilence, which was probably one OF lis
fruits, taught the country that cold wealth
er in the winter season is beneficcncc,
1t is found necessary to the general health
to extinguish miasm and malaria; also to
extinguish various sorts Of destructive in
sects. Its ice product is found very valu-
able. 1t is not only an article Of comfort
and Of large trade, but has become n ne
cessity in medical Treatment and in some
important manufactures, such US beer and
pork packing. To cut off this product
causes great privation.
Furthermore failure Of the winter
weather 10 appear according to the usual
course, causes II failure in the trade in
winter goods, which works serious dis
turbance and loss, whose effects reach intb
all kinds OF business II causes merchants
TO be left with stocks Of winter goods on
their hands, to wait till next winter for u
market, and meanwhile to dcteriOrate. 1t
causes manufacturers OF winter goods seri-
Gus losses and great reduction OF employ
ment. In many ways We have come TO
realize that cold weather in the winter
months is q blessing
Therefore, is it gratifying to see that the
chill is steadily coming into the weather,
and that all representations arc for Il more
than average cold winter. The glorious
summer was followed by fine autumn;
but the weather. although fair, is steadily
growing cold, although in general we may
expect a fortnight OF warm weather in the
Indian summer in November. The effects
OF this are already felt in the trade of this
city, and will shortly increase. Some Of
our houses are doing large trade, partic.
ularly such rs have prepared for it, and
have manifested that they are alive in it.
A member OF wholesale house, which
to a general dry goods trade adds the man
ufacturc OF wOmen's outer garments, in
formed ns that they had orders ahead for
10000 cloaks. A member of a first-class
merchant tailor establishment mentioned,
n couple OF weeks ago, that they had made
more overcoats this fall than in all last
winter. Several large dry goods houses
have informed us that their sales this fall
are greatly increased. We judge by this
that the men who are alive i'll the trade,
and have made preparation for it, and
who make it known to the public that they
arc alive and doing, are having a good
trade. And it is evident that the retail
trade of this city is reaching out further
and further into the other towns OF the
three States which come together here.
