THE Republican leaders and journ-
ais don't seem 10 relish the action of
the Democratic Senators in reference
to the resolutions offered by Judge
Edmunds, of Vermont regarding the
late constitutional amendments in
which it was sought to recognize the
complete control of the Federal
Government over the citizens of
the several States. They denounce
the Democratic doctrine upon that
subject as rampant States rights under
Quaker garb, and seem to think it sa-
Yors Of disloyalty. And, yet it is .
little singular that when Senator
Thurman presented the resolutions
drawn by him under instruction from
tho Democratic caucus as an amend.
ment to Edmunds' resolution, the ab-
surdity Of tho Vermont Senator's
biunder became SO apparent to his Re-
publican colleagues that he quietly
gigged back upon his bantling by
withdrawing his resolution. The
New York Times, the great thunder
er of the party, says respecting the
subject:
" Mr.. Edmunds' withdrawal of his
resolutions will not disappoint the
country nor entail serious loss upon
the Republican cause. Having dis
covered that the prevailing sense of
the party was adverse to their consid-
GRAFTON, only one course was open to
him. Unsophisticated minds will
probably think that on a subject 80
delicate and yet so important the prop
er plan would have been to ascertain
the juds ment of Republican Senators
before taking the step now hastily
abandoned. 1t is hardly wise or SEEM
ly on the part of an individual, how
ever eminent. to force upon = party,
rs basis of policy, his own views
on a question about which the Re-
publicans honestly differ; and he has
no right to complsin if, as a result of
his injudicious action, he be obliged
to "eat the leek" with more publicity
than is pleasant to sensItive nature.
Mr.. Edmunds blundered, and he now
pays the penalty"

has been a Senator from three States.

a recent interview he related some in
teresting incidents of his associations
with Stephen A. Douglass. They were
both elected to the legislature at the
same time, and chummed and rOomed
together. Later they were at the same
time Auditor and Secretary of State re-
spectively, and afterwards both on the
Supreme bench. Then both were sent
to Washington, all through which they
continued chums. Shields evidently
feels natural in the Senate. But that
body has not done a great deal of
real work this week. The House has

In a Tight Place.

HI 1lSnt H-ltCe.
1t was very interesting affair in con-
nection with State printing which took
place yesterday. The House made the
discovery that the office of +. F. Pillsbury
4 Co. was entirely inadequate to furnish
the engrossing as promptly as required,
and that if the Legislature depended upon
that establishment for printing the session
would be prolonged into next week. Ac-
cordingly as the members were anxious
to see the ''dear ones at home" as early
as possible, and especially did not wish to
be kept in Augusta several days on ex-
pense solely because the concern upon
which they had depended could not do the
engrossing in season, delegate was sent
from the House to Sprague, Owen q Nash,
to inquire if they would lend their assist
ance in this extremity to forward the
work so that the Legislature would not
have to wait for printing.
Messrs. Sprague, Owen & Nash re-
sponded at once that they would do all in
their power to help the Legislature out Of
its difficulty and Immediately put on the
necessary help to do the work properly
and well.
Bear in mind that the engrossing until
the present session has been done by the
State Printers under their contract ever
since the engrossing has been done by
printing, but this winter has been given to
E. +. Pillsbury & Co., in violation OF the
contract with the State Printers, causing
the latter considerable loss because they
were obliged to keep help sufficient to
do the engrossing in anticipation of just
such an emergency as has now occurred.
We are bound to do this printing under
our contract.
As we have endeavored to accommodate
the House notwithstanding the unfair
treatment which we have received from
the majority party of that body, we hope
they will accept kindly the following adj
vice:
Never attempt to crowd bushel of
anything into peck measure, or try to do
the State Printing with horse print
ing Office.
Please remember that the capacity, skill
and responsibility Of printing Office are
important subjects for consideration in
making contracts with parties to do the
State printing. If you don't you may get
in tight place again.
Don't assert any more that the Secreta-
~ of State has full control of the engross-
ing, for the House has by its action in ask
ing us to engross in the present crisis ex
ploded that fallacy.
When you wish to vote money away from
the State treasury for political purposes,
don't undertake to do it under the mask
of Economy and Retrenchment. Even
the devil cannot play the monk success
fully before American voters.
Solve this question in arithmetic. If the
Legislature costs $500 day, how many
days can it afford to wait to get hun
bred dollars worth Of engrossing done ?

A year or two since il seemed quite prob
able that steam vessels would soon take pos
session of the entire transatlantic grain trade.
The freight rates were low, and, as almost all
of the wheat went to Liverpool, it was thought
that sailing ships could not long compete with
their more expeditions rivals. But the in
creased demand for American wheat in Eng
land has changed some of the previous con-
ditions, and has given to the sailing trade a
new lease Of life. Now that immense guam
titles of breadstuf are wanted in all parts of
the United Kingdom, the hold that
Liverpool once had upon the business has
been loosened. 1t is still the great central
market, aud its quotations control sales all
over the country, but dealer in grain who
resides AT some south or east coast of England,
or at one of the Irish ports. finds it much
more to his profit to receive his wheat direct
from America than to buy it in Liverpool, and
pay the charges of rehandling and tran,hip-
ment. On this account an active and, as the
times go, fairly remunerative business has
sprung up. The wheat is purchased in lots
of from 400 to ZOO tons, and forwarded by
vessels having this carrying capacity. Into
this occupation steam vessels cannot enter,
for the cargoes are not of sufficient size TO
make it an object to bid for their carrying.
OF late there has been call for American
wheat from Spanish and other Mediterranean
ports, and in these cases the transportation
has fallen principally to small sailing-vessels.
