coinage of 1858, two padIocks and other
articles, lying covered with moss at the bot
tom of a ravine. Dr. Merriam said To a cor
respondent:

TIE National Association of Wool
Manufacturers held its annual meeting at
Philadelphia on the It'll inst. The report of
the secretary John l., Hayes, IL. D., en-
bodies great amount of useful information
in regard to the progress Of the wool indus
try since 1860, when, according to the cen
sus returns, the product of the country was
&c, 200, 900 pounds. The report states that,
through the protective influences of the war
and the Morrill, tariff, the production in 1867
reached 147, 900, 900 pounds, and in 1877 it
reached POS, 200, 600 pounds 4 remarkable
fact in connection with the subject is, that
the product of 1861 was from IL 600,
900 sheep, while the increased product OF
1877 was from 81 100000 sheep, the sub
stitution of superior breeds and more ad-
vanced husbandry being the cause of the
greatly increased average yield of fleece. In
Illustration of what Il judicious outlay of
capital will do, combined with care and at
tention, the report states that, although
Texas had no sheep whose fecccs were Of
any value previous to the war, since that
period the original Mexican stock has been
greatly amclioratcd 10y the introduction Of
better breeds, and at present her nocks
number 4, 1000, 600 head, and the wool pro
duct exceeds 1900, 900 pounds a year
much of which is Of as good quality as
that produced in the Northern States.

The Situation In Maine.

The Governor and Council of the State
Of Maine are the returning board, whose
duty it is u issue certificates of election to
the Senators and Representatives elect.
They are permitted by statute TO correct Ger
tain technical errors, as where the returns OF
the votes of town do not agree with the
town record. 1t has been rumored for sew
eral weeks that the Governor and Council
being Democrats, proposed to exercise this
power in such way rs 10 count out the large
Republican majority tof in the Senate and
IS in the House elected in the late election,
and 10 give the Legislature, or at least the
Senate, To the Democrats To this end, il is
asserted, the returns were surreptitiously
Opened" some weeks since, and Democratic
councillors and outside friends have had all
the technical errors on their side corrected
while the Republican candidates are refused
the slightest access to the returns, to find if
there he errors affecting them. This refusal
is something wholly unprecedented, and the
question now is whether or no the courts can
and will compel the exhibition of the returns
to the Senators elect. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that there is lively ferment in the
State of Maine, and the further developments
Of the Democratic plot will be awaited with
wide interest

GEN. SHERMAN, in his report as general of
the army, strongly commends the growing
custom among Congressman Of submitting
candidates for West Point TO the test of
competitive examination, but asks every
member of Congress to instruct the commit
tee whom he may appoint to include ''mor-
al and manly character in the list OF qualti-
cations One sentence Of Gen. Sherman in
this connection is TO be especially recon-
mended to young men who imagine that
there is no harm in sowing wild oats in
youth. bad habits contracted by young
man already 20 or ~ years of age are not
easily corrected, AMI they are more likely
than any lack Of mental ability ~ bring
modification and disappointment to those
who are most interested in Lis honorable
career" That is equally true of other than

An interesting conversation with south
ern Congressman is published in Washing
ton paper, which shows the restless feeling
that exists among the Southern Democrats.
1t is understood that the gentleman inter
viewed is Congressman Manning of Missis-
sippi lie is reported AS saying in regard to
the Democratic prospects: Il am afraid
that the greatest difficulty will be encounter
ed just where none is expected. In all po-
litical calculations the South is counted rs
solid for the Democrats. Now, right there
is where We have the most to apprchend. In
my opinion il will he harder 10 carry the
South for the Democratic ticket next year
than TO carry New York. The South has
grown restless and dissatisfied The recent
election in New York has had more de
moralizing effect upon our party in the South
than in the very state where ii was held.
For years now, ever since the close of the
war, the Southern people have borne the
brunt of the Democratic fight. We have
been abused, maligned, misrcpresented and
slandered because of our adherence 10 the
Democratic faith, but We never faltercd. We
have submitted ourselves entirely to North
ern leadership and now, the year before the
great Presidential fight, our leaders in New
York fall out and fight over few small
offices, carried their personal spites and
jealousies into party conventions, divided
the organization and suffered defeat
where splendid victory might easily
have been won. The result has been
to disgust the Southern Democracy,
and there is a widespread feeling that finds
voice Just now to this effect We are not
willing to forever bear the ill-will and sus-
picion of large portion of the Northern
people in order that a few Democrats i'll the
North may have something 10 quarrel over.

some of the papers are talking as if Mid
dlebury College was likely to be without
students. \ revolt Of an entire college is
indeed an almost unprecedented thing in
New England. Bat the students who have
gone to their homes will doubtless look at
things somewhat differently after talking
with their parents They viii probably see,
upon reflection, that it would be difficult
thing to run any institution OF learning upon
the theory that the government thereof
should reside in the students; and most of
them will doubtless return, to acknowledge
that t,,ev acted hastily, submit to necessary
discipline, and resume their studies.
