stress period and when Mr.. Chandler was
no longer in accord with the common sen.
timent of the people, he met with the
common fate; the memory of his past
services faded, and we saw only his errors
and failings His appointment as Secre-
tary of the Interior in General Grants
Cabinet was denounced with great bitter
ness. He had shown no aptitude for a
political administrative office; and his
selection as the head of one of the most
troublesome and complicated departments
Of the Government was the occasion not
only of general displeasure but of general
surprise. Mr.. Chandler as a Cabinet officer,
in an era of Cancellation and civil service
reform, was said to be "a frightful anachro
nism."
But ifthe President astonished everybody

astonished everybody still more by making
ono IF the best Secretaries the Interior
DEPARTMENT has had in many years. He
hunted out frauds, he broke UP rings, he
applied to the Strengthening OF various
crooked arrangements the experience of a
successful business career and the sternest
honesty-for he was always rigldly upright
in the handling Of public money-and when
he left Office his vigorous administration was
highly complimented by his successor who
cherished for him both personally and
noliticallv a special antipathy. Chandler, in
short. was one of the conspicuous mem
hers of the Grant Administration who
left office with higher character than they
took into it. His remains were carried from

was made on behalf of Davis to "save his

writing, it is sufficient to show the general
result.
In New York Cornell, Republican, is
elected governor by about 10000 plurality
The State ticket is in doubt. The Legls-
lature is Republican, securing U. S.
Senator. Scratched tickets" were the
order of the day. The vote in New York
city vas Robinson 10000, Kelly 10000 and
Cornell $4,000.
In Pennsylvania the estimated Republi-
can majority is 10000.
In Massachusetts, Long, Republican, leads
General Butler by 10000.
Wisconsin has gone Republican by about
10000.
In New Jersey the Republicans gain and
will have an increased majority in the Leg
islature.
Mississippi has gone largely Democratic
with the exception of few Greenback
successes.
Maryland has gone Democratic by de
creased majority. Hamilton's majority i:
estimated at about 10000.
Virginia has gone for the payment of th'
"honest debt" which was the real issu,
there.
In Connecticut the Republicans hav
gained immensely and will have a majorit.
of nintety.three on joint ballot in the Legis

that Senator Bayard will be the Demo

ADVANCE IN THE Price OF FooD.-The
advance in iron, stocks and everything of
speculative nature has not effected the
purses of housekeepers of unlimited means
while it has had the effect Of livening up
business, increasing work and in many
cases putting money into purses that have
been fiat, very flat for q long time. The
advance in the price of food which has
taken place will, however require a some
what better filled purse in order to purchase
the necessaries OF life. In New York food
of all kinds has advanced considerably.
Flour is fully 80 per cent. higher than it
was two months ago. This is said to be
owing TO the fact that millers cannot grind
wheat and transfer it to the spaboard fast
enough to supply the demand for exporta.
, ton, to say nothing Of home consumption.
! Six weeks ago flour that was retailing at Sc
per barrel is now sold for $3.50 and $40 per
barrel and 81 per bag of 20 pounds. Only
a few bakers have advanced the price Of
bread per loaf, but the loaves have been
reduced in size. Butter and lard have also
advanced in price, the former in greater
proportion than the latter. Foreign de.
mand for butter, as with flour makes Il
scarcity in that article, and consequently
higher prices. Good butter could be Ob.
tanned few weeks ago for 10 and 20 cents
per pound, and now dealers ask 81 to 81
cents. Tea and coffee have advanced
slightly. Tea, as mentioned some time
since. on account of short crop, and coffee
probably more in sympathy with the rising
market, as there are no eXtraneous causes
for its advance. Owing to the check put
upon the importation Of cattle, the supply
of dressed meats is fully equal to the
demand and there is no change in prices
nor will there be likely to be any advance
The supply Of poultry, which will be plenti
full till after the holidays, will have {
