R,pelow Heeling Machine Association. whose
machines are used in all the shoe factories
where heels arc attached to manufactured
product, show this to be the fact. Upon all
shoes to which the heels are attached by
these machines O royalty Is paid to the asso-
citation. Their royalty account shows that
from January to October |, 1877, there were
manufactured 25,2S5,366 pairs; for the same

HOW IL MAPPENED.

The indisposition eyinccd on the part of
the Senate to confirm the nominations TO
the silver conference had no personal or po-
litical bearing whatever. The Senate was
Of the opinion that the sentiment of that
body and Of Congress on the question of re-
monetzing silver was entitled to some de-
gree of respect from the nominating power
and this was not an unreasonable view TO
take Of the case. The Senate and the
House, by n large majority, had indicated
their sentiments in passing the law rcmon-
etizing silver. The President has antago-
nizod their position. even 10 the extent Of Il
veto, which was promptly ovcrrode. The
bill became law in spite of the Presiden-
tal introduction, and II commission WAS in
yitcd and provided for. In pursuance of
this provision of law it became the duty of
the Executive to nominate three commits
si0ncTs. 1t was due to the expressed scnti~
ment of the people and the confirming
power, and to the ordinary courtescs Of
Oilicill relation, that the silver SEN
timeut of Congress and the country
should be prominently represented in the
commission. But instead of this, that iea-
ture seems to have been either inadvertent-
ly overlooked or purpOsely ignored by the
President, as not q decided advocate
of silver money was named among
the commissioners. The head of the COM
mission is known to be hostile to the silver
measure and is strongly suspected of hav-
ing inspired the Presidents veto message,
while the other members are not accredited
with much favor toward it. For this reason
the Senate at once rejected Mr.. FENToN's s
nomination, and another still more objec-
tionablc name for other reasons was sub
Initted This was subsequently withdrawn.
Then, in the last hours Of u protractcd and
wearisome night session, on the very
heel OF the general session, the President
again badgered the Senate with the name
of Mr.. FENTON and the Senate succvmbed
This is Just how the affair was conducted
and ended, and the silver commission is
without strong and decided silver advo.
cate among its membership. This cOnSum.
nation is unjust and ungraciOus toward the
sentiment Of Congress and the country,

IT appears that Ficld-Marshal MURAT
HALsTEAD, the stalwart hero of thousand
journalistic battles and political campaigns,
to say nothing OF his sanguinary experience
on the battlefield of Sedan, is frightened
and "worrittcd" at the Third-Tcrm Spook
When any Of his malicious llow-journal-
lists out in Cincinnati want TO put him in a
state Of mind they evoke this SpoOk, and
he forthwith trembcs, sptS, fumes, and
rampages like unto an hydrophobic canine at
the sight Of water, But he does not liosi-
tate TO shoot back, as it were, and, having
no other ammunition at hand, he threatens
his tormcntOrs with Second Term for Pres
ident HAYES. OF course this is u blank cart
ridge, for HAYES has promised not to run
again, and no one ever knew him towel,
no matter! But HALsTEAD fixes it up in
the Commercial after this style:
We do not nominate President HAYES for re.
election. We have to say, however, that 4
movement for his denomination may prove to
be the most fit and conclusive answer to the
| "third-tcrn' folly which is making its appear
anco among the sOrchcads aud the remains of
the rings, especially of the whisky rings.
But he exposes the weakness Of his posi-
ton by adding the inopportune remark that
President HAYES will do very well for a
leader In other words, he does not,
after ALL nominate HAYES for reelection,
but simply nominates him to be !" leader
against the third term for General GRANT.
Now we all know what to expect; that is,
if lIMLsTED has his way. The present Ad-
ministration is to be used simply to " beat
"GRANT.' Anything to beat GRANT"
even an Administration which owes its
peaceful Inauguration to GRANTS wisdom
and caution, That is the programme !
But who has put General GRANT up to be
| beaten yet?
