The Political Situation.

Now that it is settled that Florida has
elected two Democrats to Congress, the
two parties have an equal number Of the
delegations in the House Of the Forty Sixth
Congress, each having majority of the
Representatives from eighteen States, with
two States still in the doubtful column
Indiana and California If the election is
thrown into the House by any chance, a
great deal will rest on the vote Of De La
Matyr, of Indiana, who was elected by the
fusion Of the Democrats and Nationals
half Of the other Representatives from that
State being Democrats and half Republi.
cans. If the Democrats elect three mem
bers in California next September, De La
Matyr could give them majority of the
States by his single vote, and vice versa he
could give the Republicans q majority if
they get California. That is the way the
thing stands; but it is worth remembering
that the seat of one Republican from In
diana (Godlove s. Ortiz is contested upon
allegations of fraud, so that if he is uDseat-
ed and his Democratic opponent admitted
the Indiana delegation Will be Democratic
without De La Matyrs vote, Inthat event
the Democrats would have half the States
even if California goes Republican. Now
if California goes Democratic and the Pres
idential election is thrown into the House,
the Democrats will have a majority of one
and choose their own President; while if,
on the contrary, California goes Republi.
can, there will be tie, and if the election
is thrown into the House failure to choose
would result, in which event the President
pro tenn of the Senate, chosen by the Dem
ocratic majority, would become President
Of the United States. So il will be seen
the Democrats hold all the big trumps this
time.

on the 18th Of September Of that year.
We need not detail other army opera.
tions, which were protracted far into the
following year, and conducted on costly
scale.
Our navy was busily employed, though
this being a land war, its achievements
were not brilliant Itcaptnred California,
it guarded our commerce in the Gulf, il
made raids along the enemy's coast, IL did
a heavy amount of transportation, and
made way with great deal Of money
We made vast acquisitions in this war.
Disregarding merely temporary captures,
we carried the boundary line Of Texas to
the Rio Grande, we conquered and annex
ed New Mexico and California, and some
disputed territory lying between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierra Nevada; and
with these hundreds Of thousands ofsquare
miles we obtained the richest gold and
silver mines on the globe. This war also
produced its military heroes. OF these
Taylor and Pierce reached the Presidency,
Scott and Fremont struggled in vain for
that prize, while less fortunate hrigadiers
and colonels got seats In Congress- This
was good deal Of awar. The Whigs ani
Abolitionists denounced it as infamousll
unjust and enormously wasteful. Let b
see what it cost.
In 1916 the Polk Administration spen|
on the army s10,413,000; in 1847, $685.
40,000; in 1S48, s27 ,6Se, 900; making
total of S73,941 900. In 1886 il apen|
on the the navy s6,455, 900; In 1847, u
100000; in 1848, SO, ,408, 900; making
total of S23, ,763, 900. Here we have al
aggregate for both branches Of the SERVED
in the three years Of the Mexican war;
amounting TO s97,704,000.
Thus we see that the Fraudulent Adj
ministration spends in three years fifty perl
cent. more on the army, and one hundred
per cent more on the navy, than Polk ex-
pended on those branches OF the public
service while carrying on the Mexican
war
All these figures are from official
sources, and they are accurate. Look at
them in another light. The aggregated
cost of army and navy operations in the |
two wars with England and Mexico was
s167, ,l30, 900, each war lasting nearly
nearly three years. The Fraudulent Ad-
ministration, on its own showing, is ex-
pending in time Of peace for military and
naval object in three years the sum Of
s155, ,124 900, This is only s12,006, 600
less than it cost to carry on these two ex-
pensiye wars And when the usual de-
6ciency bills appear they will no doubt
absorb these twelve millions, or even more.
In the light of these facts, it is not clear
that the expenditures of the Fraudulent
Administration for the army and navy are
the most outrageous swindles ever perpe-
trated by Government on people2

Rosewood has always been considered
an aristocratic wood. 1t is used for fine
furniture and pianos in all civilized na-
tions. We have no record of its first in
PRODUCTION into use, but it is fair to presume
that it was soon after the discovery Of
South America, as old writers speak OF
rosewood cabinets and other articles Of
furniture 1t is found only il South
America, although very near approach
to i, is used by the Chinese, Of which and
bamboo they construct all their furniture.
The French call it pailaisGadro Bois
de rose, or wood Of the rose, is an African
wood, and is red, with yellow streaks. 1t
seldom grows over eight inches in dame
ter, and is cut into veneers and used bias
for borders in inlaid or marquetry work.
Rosewood, or paldisdndre, is found of su-
perior quality in Brazil. Rio de Janero
exports all Of the fine quality Of wood.
Large quantities Of inferior quality are
sent from Bahia, but this wood is only
used by cheap manufacturers, as the grain
is dull brown, and possesses but little
beauty of figure. Honduras also exports
q heavy, dull-looking rosewood, which is
mostly consumed for drumsticks aud canes.
Rio Janeiro wood grows large, and the
grain is beautifully variegated. The most
desirable wood, that which is the most
mottled, is selected for veneers, aud the
plain straight-grained logs, when brought
to market, are very rough and gnarled.
1t has latterly been sold by weight only.
Some years ago it was sold by the log, and
and the purchaser relied on bis acuteness
for bargains. 1t contains an acrid oil,
which must be extracted by steaming, or
by long exposure to the air, before it can
be relied on to hold with glue. It has a
pungent smell, and the men who work 10
1t seem to imbibe the odor into their sys-
tenn, as no ablution will eradicate the smell,
by which the worker is distinguished from
the worker Of other woods. The dust
arising from sand -papering is not poisonous,
although II gives peculiar ghastly expires
sion to the workman's countenance. Rose
wood, if well worked, is the most durable
Of oil furniture, and after n century's use
II can be polished to look as we'll as new.
It is exceedingly strong and hard, and be-
comes more solid from nge.-American

Two cargoes Of American coal were re-
Gently sent to Italy, and were sold readily
at s7.72 per ton, which covers cost and
freightage aud leaves fair margin Of
profit. Heretofore, over 100000 tons Of
English coke per annum, at Sl1.58 per
ton, has been used in the Mediterranean
basin.
A staple article Of export 10 South
America and the West Indies Is patent
water.closets. Another Is American con-
fectionery.
Peanut oil, from North Carolina, sells
well in Italy, and cotton-seed oil has al
most taken the place Of olive oil through
out Europe. The export Of this latter
commodity jumped from 28l 900 gallons
in 1876 to 1,705,OO0 gallons in 1877.
American jewelry goes everywhere, and
American watches have nearly If not quite
driven Swiss and English made watches
out Of their own markets. The British
government purchased 200 s,em-winders
in December for the use Of conductors and
engineers on one Of the State railroads in
India, and in February an agent of the
Rotterdam Watch Company, Of England,
visited this country, and ordered num-
ber Of sets Of the tools and machinery used
here.

Among other important items Of export
are books, scientific instruments, wines,
pianos, carpets, furniture, toilet soaps, fine
and coarse boots and shoes, glassware,
scales, stoves, leather, writing inks, states,
marbles, pins, and tools and machinery Of
all kinds. And the best Of it is these
things sell on their merits, and not on ac-
count Of their cheapness. But the list Is

SOME EDIToRs' SALARY Y.--Accordin
to the New Orleans Times the leading
editorial writers on the London Times gets
1000 guineas, which is a very fair salary.
The largest salaries paid in America are
not quite equal to this. DIR. Connery, the
managing editor Of the New York Herald
receives $4,000; Whitelaw Reid Of the
Tribune $4,000; Charles A. Dana, Of
the New York Sun, $4,000 Hurlburt,
of the World, $4,000. The Boston
newspapers pay WE'LL Hascal, the editor
of the Herald, gets $4,000, and has just
received years leave Of absence to 60 to
Europe, his salary being continued. The
leading editorial writer Of the Chicago
Times gets 5000, and the managing ed
itor $4,000; Watterson, Of the Courier
Journal 1900, and an interest In the
profits; Sheehan, of the Chicago Tribune,
$4,000. The largest sum paid in Ameri-
ca TO any editorial writer Is that received
from the New York Herald by Charles
Norhof. He gets $4,000 a year, and
writes when and what he pleases.
