railroads. There was . total Of 113 acct
dents, by which twenty-three persons were
killed and ninety injured. This is a greater
number Of accidents than for any pre-

was due to the severe cold aud heavy
storms in the East, which caused no less

u~nsumrENING SKIES.

A recent issue Of the New York Times
contains full details and reports Of the &C.
tual condition Of trades and manufactures
from fourteen different States, besides
views Of prominent men in every branch
IL industry. II is very cheering to note
Stat the result OF all inquiries gives PROM
jse that at last the sombre clouds, which
have 20 long hung over the business OF the
country, are being d~issipated. and that
another era Of prosperity has fairly
dawned. The revival Of business activity
ID very general. and is shared BY almost
every branch Of trade.
Much Of this hopefulness is due to the
resumption Of specie payments, which puts
the financial interests Of the country on a
sound financial basis, inspiring universal
confidence, and tending to fix values.
CAPITAL, instead Of rusting away in safes
and banks, or Of being buried in low-priced
bonds, ID beginning to appreciate, and is
seeking more profitable Investments. This
activity Of money is Of good omen, and
will have . wholesome and quickening IN
Auence. Old mills, furnaces, and factories
sre being started up or enlarged, and new
ones are building. The crops-that true
standard Of the wealth Of Q nation-aH
promise to be abundant. In the West and
Northwest there has been an unusually
large acreage Of winter wheat and
farmers there are felicitating themselves
ON the good prospects.
It Is also . noticeable fact that coilec-
tions are now more promptly and easily
made than for some years past. In this
connection, it may also be said that credit
10 shorter than usual, and that a greater
proportion Of sales are made for cash or
very short time. Uncommon care is taken
both in making debts and IN giving credit,
and this prudence is rendered more easy
Of accomplishment from the fact that al
most all the weak firms have been weeded
out.
The most influential fact remains to be
told; that the nation is running more to
use, and less to Injuries and fashionable
fripperies. and that our exports are very
largely in excess of our imports. There
never was . time in our history when there
seemed to be 80 universal an effort among
the country's producers and manufacturers
10 search ont and possess foreign markets
and avenues of trade. Dur wares and pro-
ducts can now be found in almost every
foreign country. Even England itself is
Row . large md rap~idly-growing consumer
q our meats and cereals, and acknowledges
with wonder that in very many branches
Of industry, Of which she formerly had a
monopoly, this country can make not only
cheaper but better goods, fabrics and
machines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Mr. Hendricks Is

Niles former clerk in the Land once when
he was Commissioner. who. as claim agent
managed to pile up a good many greenbacks.
or course he has been well received by his po-
litcal friends. in all the marks OF ceremoniOus
courtesy. but the reception has not gone beyond
these external tokens for while MIR. Hendricks
is n most respectable and excellent gentleman. OF
good parts and OF cautious nature. he is without
the element OF magnetism. and eXcitos no en-

Since Ohio has entered into competition with
Indiana for the Presidential nomination. the
following which Mr.. Hendricks once had is ma
terially weakened. and Mr.. Thurman now di-
vidcs a support with him which used to be
pretty solid for the former Sagacious public
men and shrowd politicians are rather slow just
now to comm. themselves on the subject of tho
Presidency eighteen months ahead of the usual
time for holding nominating conventions. They
arc waiting and watching the currents OF pub

much to direct them.
The solid South is keeping quiet and making
no premature pledges. Tho leaders are looking
forward to success in 1880. and are ready to
take the candidate who is most likely to insure
1t. without caring very much where he comes
from or what may DO his name. They are not
carried away by any sentimental devotion
which might involve n sacrifice but mean bust

all the FREQ trade theories work rs well in
practice as they do In the inaginations Of
political economists.
For some reason or another the iron and
steel industry of Germany Is now in n state
OF remarkable depression. Since 1875,
according to writer In tho London
Times, the trade has been in really
pitiablc plight, "worso than that Of any
other country" Yet at Essen, in Ger
many, are the largest iron works in the
world--thosc of Mr. FREDERICK KRUPP. Two
years ago thcy employed 10000 workmen In
the factory alone. and the mines and the blast
furnaces used the labor OF 5000 more. This
big establishment shows how great the iron
industry OF Germany is; and il is not sur
prising that when BISMARCK secs il languish-
ing, he begins to think that it may deserve
some sort Of effective protection from his
Government.
Three years ago the free trade ideas Of
England gained great ascendency on the
Continent, and Germany, troubled about
other things, partially accepted them But
now, with the substantial ruin of ono OF the
most important industries Of the country
accomplished, while France, on tho other
hand, has adhered 10 protection and pros
pered, it Is not surprising that the Germans
should think about rctracing their stops.
Here in the United States we have never
tried frce trade, the civil war and its inn
mcnse burdens having compelled US to main
tain heavy protective duties Along with
these, however. we have been getting into Il
position whore our manufacturers need no
help from the Government to enable them
to compete successfully with the other man
ufacturing countries Of the world. Mean
while, as we have said the ideas of European
philosophers aud statesmen seem TO have un-
dorgone change, and it is especially inter
estng TO note that the theory of fostering ill.,
dustry by protective duties is no longer re-
gardcd with such unmitgated contempt

Disfranchisement in New York.

II any man doubts the injustice OF the OK
listing apportionmcnt Of this State let him
look at the figures. The Constitution says
that the State shall bc divided into one hun
dred and twcnty-eight Assembly districts,
which shall contain as nearly as may be
the same number Of inhabitants. In 1875
the population was 1870. 6l9. and It follows
that the representation should be one for
every A,1i5 persons. Had the Legislature
OF 1876 performed its duty, the new appor-
tionment would have been made upon that
basis. Then. instead Of the Legislature
being always Republican, II would have been
Democratic. 1t is plain from the majorites
given 10 Mr. T1LDEN, Mr. ROBINSON, and
Mr.. BEACH that the State Is largely Demo
cratic; but the Republican majority In the
Legislature has refused for three years tu
obey the Constitution and the Democratic
cities OF New York and Brooklyn are cheated
out of representation TO which they are
entitled.
The Democratic counties OF New York
and Kings contain an aggregate population
of 1874, iGl souls. but they have represcn-
tation OF only thirty Asscmhlymen. The
Republican counties Of Cattaraugus. Column
Ontario, Oswego, Otscgo, st. Lawrence,
Washington. and Wayne have an aggregate
population Of only ca, 80 souls, or about
one-half as many as New York and Kings,
yet they have twenty-cight Assemblymen.
Each member from these twelve counties
represents 2i,0l7 persons, or 10000 less than
the required number: while every Assem-
blyman from New York and Kings repre-
sents Ais, or 10000 more than he should
represent under a fair apportionment. In
other words these twelve counties, with a
population OF 673,32), have within two votes
Of the same voice and the same power in
Albany as do New York and Kings, with q
population of 1874, l6l.
This injustice is seen in yot more glaring
light perhaps when we consider that New
York and Kings, with l,374, l6l population
have thirty representatives only, while the
rest Of the State. with population OF
2,9sB, 1873, has ninety-cight representatives.
Figuring upon the proper basis Of "a, AZ
Inhabitants TO every representative, there
are in New York and Brooklyn 3i9, ISL persons
whOare not represented In the Assembly and
upon the basis Of 1876, $50, the proper number
for each Senate district, there are in thcs,
cities 3sj,pjS persons who are not represented
in the upper House OF the Legislature.
The Republican party, by deliberately and
intentionally preventing u fair apportion
ment OF the State, has DISTINGUISHED more
than quarter Of million of persons. Til,
wrong should be- righted without delay.

Not u Iield Marshal.

A Cincinnati correspondent Of our contem-
porary, the Hcrad, furnishes long account
OF an interview with Mr.. MURAr HALsTEAD
editor Of the Cincinnati Commercial, touching
Gen. GRANT.
The reasons assigned by Mr., HALsTEAD
for his refusal to support Gen. GRANT when
he was a candidate for a second term are
patriotic and sufficient At the end OF his
first term says Mr. HALsTEAD, 81 refused
to support him, and supported GREELEY in
stead. had not been an enemy OF GRANT
that is, an enemy to him personally or as
President; but | saw the way he was being
run was subverslve Of good government,
and for that reason opposed his reelection.
GRANT Is not a thief, but the Ring Of whskcy
thieves and the other corrupt Rings that
surrounded him brought him into disre-
pute.'
Very well, 50 far, for the past. When we
come to the views Of the future expressed
by Mr.. HALsrEAD, they seem to US, In some
respects, less sagaciOus and less sensible.
IL Is true Mr. HALsTEAD does not think
GRANT can be nominated again, and does
not think that II nominated, he could be
elected He does not believe GRANT could
best way to get rid Of him as a possible can
didate, and a possible President for a third
term, is TO make him Field Marshal for life !
81 was in Paris Mr.. HALsrEAD explains,
last summer, while he was there, and
when Marshal MACMAHoN addressed him
as the Field Marshal Of the United States,
he struck n chord In GRANTS vanity, or ann
bitlon rather II Congress would pass n
law by which hc could be made Field Mar
shall, giving him salary Of $4,000 and
then allow him to retire on half pay, with
tho honorary title and $4,000 year, the
summit OF his ambition would be reached
" II they want to get rid Of GRANT as n
Presidential candidate, that's the way tO
do it. If they're afraid OF his being cloctcd
President again, they'd better make him
Field Marshal. That would dispose Of him.
On this point we differ with MI IALsrIAD
We do not believe there is any possibility
that the attachment of this republic to thc
usage5 established by her patriotic early
sagcs, which have now become traditional
Is 50 weak, that she must pGciiy an Obstrop-
erOus son with the bauble Of Fold Mar
shalship, or with anything else 10 prevent
his overcoming those usagus and traditions
II the American people are so dcmOrali2ci
that they can only keep GRANr out of the
White House by making him Field Marshal
and paying him twenty-five thousand dol
lars year. then let him come in; for il the
state Of public feeling 10 30 deprayed, ruin
and destruction will come if not through
GRANT through some other ambitious niill-
tary chleftan. Such an act, to protect our
Institutions, IL, In itself virtually their
surrender; for II IL confession that public
