GENERAL JOE JonNsroN's V1Ews.-|
In recent conversation with tho
Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer Gen. j oscph T.. John
ston expressed tho opinion that as the
Democratic party had lost nothing by
the extra session it must have made a /
gain, and said its most important work
was its persistent action to defeat the
emplt yment of marshals and deputy
marshals at polls. While they had not
got tho statute repealed, they had dealt
il such blow that it could not long
survive. The General declared he had
seen more of tho working of politics
during the last three months than in
the sixty years OF his life. Some things
which he forcborc to name .disgustcd
him very much. He had no taste for
heated political dobatc, and preferred
military or civil life. Although he was
glad he had scon what he had, and |.
thought it an immense benefit to him,
he did not care for its continuance. AS
to renewing tho struggle next winter.
he said he knew no reason why they
should not keep it up, and from pres

CAPTAIN CoURrENAY's CARDIFF
gives us great pleasure to publish Cap
tain Courtenay's card In another col
umn, because it sets him right OH the
record and throws now light OH the
Charleston municipal canvass. Cap
tain Courtcnay's personal integrity has
never been qucstioned-so far as we
know, is in every way above re-
.proach; but wo simply expressed the
fear that in the heat and excitement of
the present troubles in Charleston he
might bc betrayed into nh alliance
with certain Influences which would
damage his chances ofusefnlnoss even
if he should be elected to tho Office of
mayor. We eare glad to know thai he is
not "thc staldard-bearer Of Broad
street men and mcasurcs," and that ho
will stand by the Democratic nolnina-
ton, whatever that nomination may
be, to tho very end ofthc race. This Is

CINCINNATI.
The Brewers Strike.

CIYCINNATI, December 20.-The brew
ers' strike has not assumed anything
like general proportions. In nearly one
half the breweries there are no strikers
at all, and in the remainder only por-
tions have struck. There was slight
demonstration of violence at the Gam
brinus brewery, but it ceased when the
telephone was used TO call the police.
At most of the breweries where the pro-
cession visited the strikers were hospit-
ably treated with beer, and general good
feeling prevailed. The brewers are as
sisting each other, and the general i'm
preston is the strike will fail.
CINCINNATI. December 2l. The
striking brewers held a meeting this
afternoon and decided to permit the
members of the Union to resume work
at the breweries where the demand for
higher wages is granted and TO with
draw their demand in regard TO appren-
tices at such breweries. This virtually
ends the strike, as the brewers who
have not given the wages demanded, re-
fuse to receive the strikers back on any
terms, they having filled the places Of
the workmen who left. At one brewery
the workmen who left yesterday re-
turned to-day. The concession in regard
to apprentices and other matters leaves
little in the newly formed JOurneymen
Brewers Union worth contending for,
vnd the whole disturbance will llprobably
end tomorrow.

Exports and Imports.

WAsHINdToN, December 20.-The to-
tai value of the exports of domestic pro-
visions and tallow for November was
s., 900, 706; for the same month in 1873
it was $1,000, ASP. The annual report OF
trade for the Sheffield district shows
remarkable decrease in the file trade. In
1873 the value of the files sent us was
SB5O,741; in 1875, $l97006; in 1878,
$7l, ,049; in 1879. $54,S7l. The imports
of American food products are enor-
nous. A poor fund OF 100000 was dis
pensed by the Mayor last winter,
and the prospects are not favor
able TO any diminution in the
wants of the people the preaent winter.
The substitution OF American hardware
for English in Australia and other mar
kets is having a serious effect on the
Sheffield trade. At Zanzibar, the Ameri-
can is increasing, but the great draw
back is the difficult transmission OF
funds to the United States in return for
goods. About one-half the exports TO
the United States go in British vessels,
via London. The strong pressure
brought to bear on the Sultan by the
British government has nearly stopped
the slave trade. A line OF battle ship is
at Zanzibar with large number of Of
ficers and men, who patrol the African
coast in steam cutters and launches, TO
put stop TO the traffic. The British
government has forced the Sultan TO
sign a treaty having the same object in
view.

A BLOW AT TRADES UNIONS
American Glass Blowers Dis
charged at GAINESVILLE and For
eign Labor Substituted.

ZANEsvILLE, o., December 20.-About
two weeks ago, Kearms, Herdman *
Gorsuch, gave their blowers and gather
ers notice that their services would not
he required after the 10Th instant. The
blowers in this factory belong to the As
sembly at Pittsburg that limit the num-
Der of boxes of glass to be turned out TO
forty-eight one-hunired feet boxes
per week. The men claim
they were wanted TO 20 over
this amount, which they refused to do,
as they contend the firm belongs to the
Glass Manufacturers Association that
agreed to these terms with the blowers,
and that the fires in this city were
started on this basis.
To-day twenty-five Belgian blowers
and gatherers arrived from Antwerp to
take the place of these discharged men.
1t was rumored on the streets that the
discharged blowers were to meet the
foreigners at the depot and give them
an unpleasant reception, which was not
the case. The discharged blowers claim
the exact situation OF affairs was not
laid before the foreigners, and that they
came under misunderstanding.
Messrs. Kearns, Herdman & Gorsuch
have been interrupted In their work
very much by the men in their window
glass department striking, and they now
propose to try and put a stop TO it by
non-Union men.

EDISON'S TRIUMPH.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT A SUCCESS.
Its First Public Exhibition to Take Place in
New York on New Years EVe-HOw
the New Light is Produced
An Incredible Process.

New YORK, December 2l.-The Her
aid devotes page to "Edison's Triumph
in Electric Illumination, giving full
and accurate account OF his work from
its inception to its completion, with il
Illustrative diagrams. The Herald says;
The first public exhibition OF Edison's
long-looked for electric light takes place
on New Years Eve at Menla Park, on
which occasion that place will be illum-
mated with the new light.
The new light, incredible as it may
appear, is produced from little piece OF
paper-a tiny strip OF paper
that breath would blow
away. Through this little strip
of paper is passed an electric current
and the result is a bright, beautiful
mellow light. "But paper instantly
burns even under the tifing heat OF
tallow candle" exclaims the sceptic,
land how then can it withstand the
fierce heat of an electric current" Very
true, but Edison makes the little piece
OF paper more infusible than platinum,
more durable than granite and this in
wolves no complicated process. The
paper is merely baked in an oven
until all its elements have passed
away except its carbon framework.
The latter is then placed in a glass
globe connected with wires leading TO an
electricity producing machine, and the
air exhausted from the globe. Then the
apparatus is ready to give out light
that produces no deleterious gases, no
smoke, no offensive odors, light with
out flame, without danger, requiring no
matches to ignite, giving out but little
heat, vitiating no air, and free from all
light that is a little globe OF
sunshine. And this light, the inventor
claims, can be produced cheaper than
that from the cheapest oil. The inventor
finds that the electricity can be regu-
lated with entire reliability at central
station, Just as the pressure OF gas is
now regulated. The entire cost OF con-
structing the lamp is not more than 20
cents. -

AUGrsrA, Nix, December l9.-While
Mr.. Blaine was preparing Indignation
for the Republican meeting in Granite
Hall, this evening, Governor Alonzo
Garcelon, NJ. D., sat TRANQUILITY in his
room in the Augusta House finishing a
statement which he has drawn up for
the benefit of the people Of this and other
States. This is the first public announce
ment male or authorized by the Gov
ernor of the principles which determin-
ed the recent action Of the Council in
refusing 10 count certain defective re-
turns, thus reversing what the Bepubll-
cans have claimed 10 be the result of the
late election. The following statement
is addressed by Governor GarcelOn to
the public through the New York Sun:
To THE PUBLIC; kilograms and sug-
yestions having reached the undersigned
TO the effect that Gov. Garcelon and his
Council owe TO the Democracy OF the
United States in particular, and the pub
lie generally, full, explicit explanation
of exactly what they have done and why
they did il, l herewith submit for gen
erat information a concise statement OF
the constitutional requirements IN rela-
tion TO elections of Senators and Repre-
sentatives in this State, and the action
of the Governor and Council i'm the dis
charge of the duty imposed upon them
by that instrument and the statute laws
in accord Herewith.
The statutes regulate the mode OF the
calling of meetings, but the Constitution
drescribes the qualifications OF repreSen-
tatives, and declares that the selectmen
of towns or municipal officers of cities
shall preside impar,ially at such meet
ings. receive the votes OF all the quail
fed electors present, sort, count, and de
clare them in open town meetings and
in the presence OF the town clerk, who
shall form list of the persons voted for,
with the number OF votes for each per-
son against his name, and shall make
a fair record thereof in the pres
ence OF the selectmen and in open
town meeting; and fair copies OF
the lists Of votes shall be atteSted by
the selectmen and town clerks Of towns
and the asst SSoFs Vi pitllaAllpiH ditN
sealed up in open town and plantation
meetings, and the clerks OF the several
towns and plantations are to cause the
same 10 be delivered into the office OF
the Secretary of State thirty days at
least before the first Wednesday of jan
uary annually; and the Governor and
Council shall examine the returned
copies OF such lists, and twenty days be-
fore the first Wednesday OF January
shall issue a summons 10 such persons
rs shall appear to be elected by plur-
ality of all the votes returned to attend
and take their seats.
So much for the Constitution. Sup
Elementary to this the statutes provide
tchapter 4, section S2) that in order to
determine the result OF any election by
ballot, the number Of persons voted for
shall first be aseertained by counting
the whole number Of separate ballots
given in, which shall be distinctly stated,
