THE MKT CONGRESS. Lsdger oI
this morning in giving summary o
Tu ,sda,'o 10 ions says hat the returi
indicate that the next Senate OF tie
the United States will consist Of A.
Democrats, 80 Republicans, and David
Davis, Independent; and that the
House Of Representatives will consist ol
l53 Democrats, and 1873 Republicans
and Nationals.
The New York Times Of to day SAYS
that the Republicans have triumphed
in many unexpected quarters, notably
In New York State, where their gain is
eight members, instead Of seven, as an
nounced yesterday. Some Of the Penn
sylvania districts are still in doubt, bu,
the Republicans conf iently claim a
giin Of two representatives. Nowhere
have the Republicans made serious
losses, except in Missouri whore the
Democrats, bya gerrymandering law,
have gained four members. To sun
ur, the Republicans win have l32
members in the next House Of Rspr'.
sentatives, and opposed to them will be-
l47 Democrats and 10 Gr-enbackrrs-a

four vacancies to be filed, and thesr.

Two Vprtsings.


The uprising Of the people of the
Il rthern States that held elections on
Tuesday, and the voice proclaimed from
H.. ballot box is full OF meaning, aud
roliticians, whether drmagogueS or not,
would do we'll to profit by it, The up"
rising of a part Of the people OF the
South is nc less full Of meaning, but I
A different character. In the first 1t
means popular government by the peo'
nls and that the fruit secured for
that purpose by long and bloody war
shall no, be wasted but in the latter 1t
means class government, and that the
former slave holders are yet to rule
this nation that the four millions OF
human chatt-ls now nominally free and
clothed with all the privileges Of citi,
zenship shall be deprived from exercis.
ing any of the rights guaranteed by
the amended constitution. In the north
the uprising means freedom to its full
est extent: in the South it means not
only despotism but sarbarism. If the
cruelties practiced upon..t the freedmen o
the South during the election campaign
of 1876 and the present campaign
which has lust ended, to keep them from
taking any part in the elections, wer'
published to the world a Figi islander
would blush for the humanity OF man
and were the frauds and manipulation
practiced TO bring about the same re
suit fully ex posed, Justice herselfwou
call such government but the veries
farce and republican but in name. The
martial success OF the Democrats at th'
October elections but embOltened the
bull-dozers of the south to renewal o
th. iutimidations of 1876 and has en-
aLled them to silence the votes OF
million of free linen and return almoS

at last not only been heard but believed

The BUSINESS OUULooK.-A Chicago
paper, in recent market review, opens
with the encouraging remark that since
its previous report the market there
had become very strong, with decld-
ed upward tendency. All lines are
moving freely. The stifening in prices
that had already taken place 1t be-
lieves will be mantained-with still
further advance in some departments
on account of short supply, tie recent
rise in raw materials, the heavy ex-
port demand, et. Manufacturers have
become convinced that, at the present
prices of labor and materials, they cam
not make their goods at the figures that
have recently ruled the market. The
advance was, therefore, to great ex.
tent, movement Of protection on theil
part. The feeling has not been so firm
during the past year as at present; tha
jobbers there display the utmost cheer
fulnpss, and are confident of very
large fall business; that they are al
rapidly filling up their stocks, and j
Is fair to assume that the assortm'
will be even better than ever heretc
fore presented. The great West, frou
which so much in the shape of val
liable produce is expected, is the righ
quarter for lasting improvement il
business affairs to make start, an
in this view we hope the ammo unce
ment above noted may be found cor

Business Depression In England

Business Depression In England.
While there Is a gradual resumption
of iron wo\ks and cotton and wooden
mills all over this country, things seem
to be going the other way in England.
Our dispatches yesterday brought the
unwelc ,me tidings, that ia a single dis
trict / ,O70 looms and $4,000 spindles
were stopped, while 2,5oo looms and
$40. 900 spindles in the same district
are running on short time, making a
reduction Of about thirty per cent. in
the wages Of the operatives. In other
portions in that country large strikes
ar. taking place by the same operatives
who twelve months ago struck, and a.
ter several months Of idlenes resumed
work at the old wages. Nothing so
surely indicates the course OF trade a.
this condition Of things. II proves a
bad condition Of :rade. II mil owners
had plenty Of orders, strikes and stop
pages lik. the above would be unh.ard
Of. 1t is cause for congratulation, while
things are assuming this unpleasant
slap. in Great Britain, things are drift
lns in thr opposite direction with us.

Tho Barlow meeting at lrasburgh. Aug
ID. was addressed by A. q. Stafford, Ed,
OF St Adams, and Mr.. Dorman and Mr.
Sanborn. of Newport. who showed con
clusiyely to their own minds that Bradley
Barlow WAS the only man in this Third
District that was in the least capable of
representing it IN Congress, and that if he
was elected he would prove panacea for
all the woes and lila of the whole country
would rearrange the finances OF the country,
etc.
OF course. they went for the FREE Pass and
Newport Express, calling them liars OF the
blicke1t type. The people got tired of that
sort OF shing alter awhile, and Judge l.. II
Thompson was loudly called for The Bar
low men very reluctantly gave him the
floor and the tide turned. Judge Thompson
said that no regretted that any OF the
boys should have hlssod tho Barlow
speakers, Tor he remembered that at the
llydepark Convention, not boys. but full
grown Barlow delegates Missed him. Tho
Judge went on to make telling speech

BRISTOL - NATURAL CURIOSITY. - Hog :
Back Mountain has had the reputation fol
several years past Of having remarkabl,
double rocking rock on its summit, but nc
one seemed to be able to find it and Mr.
Chase, who stated there was such curiosity
and that he saw it about ten years ago, be.
gan to have his statements doubted little
A few days ago, Geo. W. Parmelcc of Phlla-
delphia, W. X. Peake OF Bristol, and DR.
Prime OF Rutland. in company with W. p
Chase as a guide. went on the mountain and
made search for it with excellent success
The rock is certainly a great curiosity. Ii
weighs probably from Is to 20 tons, and is
easily rocked with one hand. The N tiGn,
at first, is scarcely peiceptible, but after a
few moments it can be made to sway about
six inches The whole party got on the
rock and the motion was as porfec. and
easy as cradle. On the top OF this
rock il another large rock which
probably weighs about six or eight tons,
which also has a slight rocking motion
after the main rock is well rocking. Mr.
Chase says that his father used to tell him
about another rock weighing about two
tons being on the top of this second rock i,
and that great many years ago one 4th of
July a number of boys went on the noun
tain and tried to throw these rocks of tho
ledge with large timber prizes, but only
succeeded in removing the top one. A
rock was found at the foot OF the lcds e
answering the description given by the
elder Mr.. Chase, and no doubt the original
curiosity was q triple instead of double
rock as now found. This rock is certainly
of interest to every one and Will well repay
visit.

OF Mr.. Grout 1.-The Central Vermont K. R.,
the p. Il o. X r., Bradley Barlow and
us;' this candid statement ought to satisfy
the people that the Republican nominee for
Congress is not under control of the money
power as it is manifested in railroad cor
pOratiOns. As to banks. he has constantly
advocated lOaning money at SIX per cent
interest, while many ether banks demand
seven or eight per cent. He has always con-
sidered that money should go into clrcula-
ton at so low interest that II may be
safely used in legitimate business. The
writer referred to has been informed that
he leads men along in litigation until he
gels a mortgage of their farms and then
coldly turn them out OF doors. Instead
of this. his especial pleasure has been to aid
men in business. Gs the citizens OF Barton
will testify. and to have disagreements be-
tween men settled by arbitration or conc1s-
sion rather than by lawsuits.
lie does not "den0unce agitation on be-

denounces such agitation as only has for
its Officer the elevation of Bradley Barlow
to Congress. Creating new party and de-
stroying the old at time when Northern
union sentiment should be ably represented
is not commendabe. New issues will APP
pear and they must be met and considered.
Just now the relation iof capital to labor
is an important subject, and if legislation is
called for it should be to relieve labor of
some of its burdens in the way OF taxes
and interest. The whole record of General

of labor will be regarded. feel sure that
those who desire Gen. Grout to represent
them have confidence that be will exercise
the sound sense that has always been with
him in managing all business entrusted to
him.
In these days when the air is full of ru-
mors of the sale and purchase of men.
venture to mention that the only time
money was efer offered to Gen. Grout for
his vote was when. in the legislature, the

FAILURE or WORIBINGrON c. SNIrH.-On
Saturday last, tho Hon. Worthngton C..
Smith, of st. Adams, filed his petition in
bankruptcy in the United States court Mr..
Smith was a creditor OF the st. Adams
Foundry Company, which went into bank
ruptcy several weeks since, to the amount
of between $4,000 and $4,000. and
also an endorser of their paper to the
amount Of about $40 900. The failure Of
the company rendered him uLabls to meet
the amount of his endorsements. His IN
secured debts that are undisputed. do not
we learn, exceed S., OGO Most of the credit
ora, upon full ana candid statement OF his
affairs, consented to an equitable comprO-
mise. but one ur two proceeded to levy at
tachmentS upon Mr.. Smiths property ,
hoping to force settlement of their claims
in iull. As this would be manifest hi us
tee II the Others, Mr.. Smith was forced t,
take the only method open to him OF re-
leasing these attachments and prOcur-
ing nn equal and ratable division
of his assets and property among
all. viz. by proceedings in bankruptcy. Mr..
Smiths assets are OF good value, though
being largely in real estate it is at this time
impossible to make anything Ike correct
estimate. lie has appea led to his creditors
to appoint committee to investigate his
affairs and agree upon basis of settlement
and thus save tho sacrifices and disastrous
consequences Of bankruptcy. The St. Al
bans 4drerfiScr says:
Thi4 il one Of the honest and unfortunate
eases Of bankruptcy, Mr.. Smith being en-
tlrely solvent except from bis liability a.
endprser which he IL unable to meet owing
to the failure of his resources from the en-
dOrsee his debtor. lie was simply dragged
down by the unfortunate and disastrous
failure of the Foundry company, against
which he, ~ well a. the members OF the
company, had been struggling hard for some
time past. Mr.. Smith has the general and
sincere sympathy Of the community. in
which be has been 30 long known and
highly respected. in his misfortune.
