BUTLER'S CONVENTION.
Opinions of the New York Press.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, Sept. 1S.-In commenting on
the Worcester Convention yesterday, the
Herald says: Butler is bird of ill omen.
1t is beyond question or dispute that if the
will of local constituencies had been re-
spected Butler would have had clear and
decisive majority of the Convention. The
State Committee knew this, and it was be-
cause they knew this that they undertook
to disfranchise the majority of the constit-
uencies They were foiled by trick as
discreditable as their own, but their inten-
ton to nullify the will of the constituencies
deprives them of any just title to sympathy
The Tribune says: Butler will be able to
say when he goes before the people that his
delegates really were majority of the Con-
vention. He will be able to throw upon
the Faneuil Hall assembly the charge of at
tempting to exclude delegates for no other
| reason than because they meant to vote for
him, and he will have all materials at hand
for the concoction of one of the hottest
Democratic quarrels that ever convuised
the Massachusetts Democracy. He never
did care the snap of his fingers for regulari-
ty and because he failed to break in on the
other it would be the height of absurdity
for him to affect 10 be particular about it.
The Sun makes light of the way the Butler
delegates took possession of the hall, and
says one of the events of Worcester yester-
day, ofsurpassing significance, is that out of
], ,44O delegates to Democratic State Con-
vention 917 were in favor of Butler for
Governor to 523 opposed. The Won
derful movement at Worcester is
the voice of general discomfort. 1t is a pro-
test against the corruption and fraud which
have made taxes heavy and wages light.
The day of fiction and of fustian and the
men of pretenSe and sham are passing
away. The day of realities and of judg-
ment is at hand.
The Star says: Butler would probably
make one of the best Governors Massathu-
setts ever had, especially as he would con-
slider himself in training for subsequent
Presidential race.
The Times says: Wonderfully smart
man Butler. He stole Convention. There
was no platform, no need of any Butler
is his own sufficient platform; but full
ticket was nominated, and Butler has at
last what may be called regular nonina-
ton at the head of regular ticket The
nomination of Butler was the real business
OF the day, and was attended to with re-
markable promptness. What will happen
if Butler captures the Faneuil Hall Con-
vention also?
The World says: The manner in which
Butler gained his point was the only way in
which he could have gained it. 1t has al
ways been considered his weakness in Massa-
chusetts that he had to do all his own
work.

How Cincinnati Distillers 70.
The following letter explains the contro-
versy which has been going on for some

garding the market quotation of whisky in
the latter city, which was so far under that
quoted at Chicago as to create the suspicion
of fraud:
WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. II. 1878.
"To Messrs. Il. Sehufeld & Co., Phoenix D1stillery
Company, United States Distlling Company and
Others, Chicago, ILL.,.
GENTLEMEN--Referrin to our cores
pondence in regard to the spirits trade of
Cincinnati, will state for your informa-
ton that am in receipt of report from
Collector Smith, of Cincinnati, and Reve-
nue. Agent Mitchell, on duty at
that city, giving the details of
transactions in high wines between distil-
lers and rectitiers of Cincinnati for the
months Of June, July and August of this
year, from which it appears, with the ex-
ception of one distillery, the sales of trans
fers were made upon the basis of the COM
mercial gauges The said report is i'll re-
spect to rs by SO packages, which contained
SO by 10 taxable gallons and were sold
upon the commercial gauges as containing
855, ,755 90-l0O gallons, which shows an ex-
cess of gallons sold over those upon which
the taxes were paid of p, ,645 90-100, the
bills having been rendered during the
month Of June at 103 104 105, during the
month of July at 105, 104, 103, and during
the month of August at 103, 104 105 and
106 tits obvious from this report that the
rectifier makes a concession to the distiller
in regard to quantity, while the distiller
makes a concession to the rectifier in re-
gard to the price, so that in point of fact the
quotations during the period mentioned
were not based upon sales of spirits de-
livered apon the Government gauge.

Mercantile Agencies.

Unsound Commercial or Mercantile Agencies
is the title of an article in ''The Public" pub
lshed in New York, devoted to finance and
commercial interests, from, which we extract
the following: The suspension of the Nc
Killop & Sprague Commercial Agency, with
heavy liabilities, is a circumstance of consider
able significance. Besides their New York
Office they had some fifty branch Offices in the
Union with from eight to ten thousand suit
scribers, besides large number of legal cor
respondents, to whom their suspension is a
matter OF very great moment. Beyond the
disturbance of business relations, there is the
question of undue competition in business
which the failure strongly illustrates. In ad
dition to the $415, 900 advanced by Mr.. Tappan
Ia large portion supposed to have been diverted
from the funds of the Boston Belling Co it
owes over 100000 to printers, employees, paper
makers &c., so that over half million has
been sunk in a few years in addition to all the
revenues obtained from subscribers and col
lection business. The example set by this
agency is very much to be deplofed. The ex-
istance of these institutions is necessity OF
the extended credit business done in the coun-
try. Merchants cannot stop to Investigate each
individual case Of credit, and the accumula-
ton Of histories, facts, and opinions, which the
agencies are enabled to make by close inquiry,
IL invaluable. One lesson this failure teaches
is that only concerns above the slightest sus-
piciOn of embarrassment should be relied upon.
Men who conduct an agency should be entirely
free from other engagements. No agency can
be independent having to "fnance" and
"kite." There are said to have been in opera
ton within five years f1rty-one different
agencies in New York and vicinity, and there
are today at least twenty associations Of this
character, all of which, with few exceptions,
exc out miserable existence, SO that money
given to them is absolutely thrown away. If
one half the sum squandered upon these cheap
concerns were paid to the well known and well
established concerns and their revenue in
creased just to that extent, it would be better
economy, in an attempt to save few dollars,
to risk the loss Of many hundreds by encour-
aging concerns, whose chief merit is the low
price at which they offer to do work at once SO
Important, arduous and delicate.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNMG.-Friday
Nov. 1st, young naval officer attached to the
revenue steamer McCullocb, with a man
named Martin, started out in the harbor of
Castine duck shooting. The wind was high
and the sea rough, and when about mile and
half from Castine the boat capsized and both
were thrown into the water. Luckily however
they were abe to get hold of the bottom of the
boat They shouted Justify for help and the
officer discharged his rifle and with much diff
Guilty loaded it and discharged it second time.
They had chung to the boat about an hour and
a half and were so thoroughly benumbed with
the cold they were about to let go when boat
arrived and rescued them. The officer lost his
breechloading rife and his watch, valuable
one, and regrets this more than his wetting.
