THE ERECTION.


The result Of the elections has been
announced. Who knows anything
more than be knew before that the
result Of the next presidential election
is yet i matter Of doubt q The Repnb-
Iiean victory In New York mas deyel-
oped nothing more than that State is
about evenly divided, and the odds irl
favor Of the Republican party amount
to the small matter of 50Oor 600 votes.
In State 90 large this vote is . trivial
figures and can be turned about and
doubled the other way in the deciding
Of mere local struggle. Some may
not be able 10 see the relationship that
may exist between presidential cleo
tion and q county contests yet all who
study know that . county contest often
decides, in determining local issues,
the political complexion Of State,
and the vote OF . State can decide who
shall be President. New York stands
In this position. Neither party can
afford to lose her electoral votes in the
next contest. and neither can boast Of
material advantage unless Tii.ien is
the Democratic candidate. Then il
would appear that the bitterness Of
Tammany against Tilden which found
expression in the nomination of John
Kelly, would find concentration and

WHAT HE WANTS.

There have been numerous sugges-
tions offered why Gen Grant persists
in the statement that he will not ac-
cept nomination for third term in
the presidential chair. We have
heard and all remember what Oregon
newspapers have said upon the subject;
but now we must learn from our East
ern neighbors. It is stated by
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican that since the ad-
journment of the last congress num-
Der of Gen. Grants friends have had
under consideration a suggestion,
coming originally from a distinguish
ed Southern soldier whose name is
withheld for the present, but whose
services in military and civic life have
won for him the confidence and es-
TEEN of his people, as we'll as the re-
spect of the country at large, to create
the office OF captain general of the
army, with suitable pay and allow
ances, and to have the same rendered
to q s. A. Grant, in recognition of
his patriotic services in behalf of the
union; as we'll as to afford him perma-
nent occupation in q congenial en-
pIoyment the remainder of his life.
This idea has been quietly canvanssed
among the members of the senate and
house who have visited Washington
during the recess, as well as at Sara
toga, Long Branch and white sulphur
Springs. 1t can be said that the pro-
position has been received with
great favor, and will take shape in a
bill accomplishing the purposes
named early at the next session of
congress.

The London Atnen@um announces
q rather astounding recent invention,
which, If what is said of it be true, will
supersede the use of coal and wood for
heating purposes. The correspondent
who has seen it AYERS that it makes
an instantaneous and perpetual fire of
two substsnces exhaustless in nature,
costing not one-teDth Of our ordinary
fuel, and causing no smoke, dust or
trouble. The stove is 3 part of the
invention, which can be regulated to
boil milk for baby or roast an OK at
pleasure. 1t is said to be perpetual
and economical source of fuel and heat
for all purposes.

Col. John B. Brownlow is credited
with saying that the Republican party
In 1858 ought TO have made new State
out OF East Tennessee and lei Virginia
alone. In that case substantial and
permanent gain would have been se-
cured to the Republican party in the
South, whereas the creation Of West
Virginia, though done with the purest
Of partizan motives, has proved again
the other way. The Colonel's sugges-
Elon il a good one, and will do to iile
away for the next war.

A Russian @ronaunt recently had a
narrow escape from the bewildered in
habitants of village on the Don. He
had made an ascent from Rostow, and
was about to alight when he saw a
crowd collected below, and several
shots were fired at him. On nearing
the ground he found q large assem-,
blage armed with scythes, hatchets
and stones. He assured them that he
was a moral like themselves. A
priest extended crucifix, told him to
cross himself like man and q chris
tan, He did so, but was not allowed
TO alight until a Cossack soldier had
explained to the people the mystery OF

There is strong suspicion in Dem
yer that the Mormons have had some
thing to do with melting the Indian
outbreak. The suspicion is not with
out good grounds, for the Utes are well
armed, and, apparently, have a good
supply of ammunition. It is not im-
probable that they are also guided by
q higher intelligence than their own,
as some of their tactics show consider
able judgment, and are contrary to all

The New York Times says that it
is reported that the United States SUI

requiring that all minority opinions

ordinary performance of Justice Field,
who used language in reference to his

Judges use improper language, what
can be expected of the press?
