The elections which have ju,t taken place in
the several states show conclusively such an
augmentation of Republican strength as TO
render it altogether probable that the Bepubli
cans will be able to elect their candidate for
President next year. Electing their President
for a third time would lie en- innovation on
the custom of the country established by our
revolutionary fathers; an innovation of the
most alarming character, and meaning the over
throw of our free institutions and tho establish
ment of = monarchy. Anybody and everybody
against Gran. is the motto OF true and enlight.
ened patriots.

China, In dispatch to the Department of State
reports that the cotton crop In that district will
not be more than half average. This will prob.
ably create on unusual demand in Japan and
China for our cotton goods. The United States
Consul at Odessa reports to the Department of
State that the wheat crop Of Russia will fall far

wheat must be in great demand in al paris OF
Europe.
The attention of the President being called to
the various rumors afioat az to the Russian and
English Missions, he replied that there was no
necessity of filling these Missions, and that no
names had as yet been agreed upon. The
rumors were tho merest speculation. with no
basis in fact. The saving to the Treasury by a
vacancy In these Missions amounts to over one
hundred dollars day.
