The proceedings of the German administra- ton in regard to the Socialists more than justi- fy the objections te the bill which afterwards became a law, and under which Bismark is now acting. The power of summarily banish- ing political opponents is one that should never be entrusted to any official or body of. officials Cotton as it comes from the gin is harmless substance. Treated with certain chemical in gradients, it turns into most dangerous ex- plosive. Just so, certain popular movements, treated after this German method, become, though harmless before, dangereus.,

Lord Lorne and his Princess have at last ar rived, and have been received with all the ef- fusive loyalty of the most provincial of provin- ces. It seems to give the Canadian infinite satisfaction to bask in the moonshine of reflect ed royalty, and to fancy himself warmed there by. That our American journals should waste column upon column upon the stupid triviali- ties connected with the arrival of this rather pretty young fellow and his rather pretty young wife, shows how hotly the newspaper reporter must follow up everything like a sen- satiOn.

A decision of the important issues at stake in the great patent suit of Burdette vs J. Estey & O., regarding the right of the latter to manufacture certain kind of cabinet organ, has been rendered in the U. S. Circuit Court AS will be seen from an article republshed from the "Music Trade Review" on an out side page, the decision is substantially in favor of the Estey Company An important issue in the case was regarding an organ manufac- tured by Arvid Dayton, of Woleottville, and on exhibition at County Fair in this place some dozen years since. The WoIcottville Register refers to the matter as follows:
 It is known that our townsman Arvid Day. ton was an important witness in the famous Organ case of Burdette vs. Estey and Co.,, for an infringement of patent Efforts were made by the plaintiff to break down the evidence of MT. Dayton, and he was even accused of per jury, in reference to particular organ known as exhibit No. 21. The following telegram was received by MT. Dayton last week, and speaks for itself

It is rumered that Maine Republicans will elect Greenbacker Smith, who is of Republi- can antecedents, Governor, when the legisla- ture meets. The Democratic candidate is a pronounced hard money man, and if the Maine Republicans choose the Greenbacker instead, we hope they will be defeated every year, till little patriotism is finally beaten into them.

The Florida courts have reversed the action of the returning board and declared the Re- publican candidate in the Second Congression- al District elected.

The chief objection to Hawley's election to the Senate has been, that, in case of new election in the First District, Democratic Congressman might be chosen, and thus the vote of the State lost to the Republicans in case the Presidential election goes into the House. The fact is that the vote of twenty States is needed to choose President in the House. The Republicans can now command but eighteen they will have but nineteen if carry California, the only state which has not already chosen Congressmen. If there is no clear majority of twenty States for any candi- date in the House. the Vice President, to be chosen by the Senate, becomes President The Senate which will act in this matter in 1881 will be largely Democratic, so that no election in the House means victory for the Democ- racy
