fair number, but not so liberal as those of the
previous week, while the shipments for the same
time have been larger, and the class of stock re-
ceived was Of fair average quality, with some
OF all OF the different grades, but the proportion
of good butcher and best shipping qualities was
small. The trade during the week has been
rather steady one in both feeding steers and
shipping stock, and prices have continued un-
changed, but the trade in butcher stock has not
averaged so well. The market closed tame all

WASHINGTON, February 9.-There is
a feeling of general anxiety among the
different legations here over the threat
ening aspect of affairs in Europe. The
dispatches printed this forenoon from
London are regarded as exceedingly
significant, since they would not have
been made public except to excite a
feeling against Russia and in support
of England. The belief among the
legations is that Russia is looking to a
cordial understanding with France,
and that as to the latter the question of
war with Germany is one now receiv-
ing very serious attention at the hands
of those directing the affairs of the
Republic. They have completed the
Notifications of Paris, and it is regarded
as impregnable. Their army is ample
in numbers, their war material abun-
dant and their finances in excellent
condition. The chief question about
which they are hesitating is their ability
to hurry on war, and at the same time
preserve the Republic.
AS indicative of the near approach
of trouble in Europe, all the legations
have information of large sums being
sent here for Investment by men of
prominence in the affairs of the Conti-
nent and by the leaders in commercial
affairs. Inquiries have also been re-
Ceived as to the probable producing ca
pacity of our arms manufactures and
as to the surplus of our provisions.

that every member of the committee
will be present to participate in Its de-

far-reaching results than any this cOun-
try has ever witnessed. The last cam

did so well in placing Fayette county
squarely in the Republican column,
was only the skirmish OF the grand
battle of 1880. Let the success of your
committee in the past encourage you
for the work of the future, and may
not, as your chairman, confidently ex-
pect full attendance of the commit
tee at this meeting9

At the reception and banquet given to
Senator Blaine in Boston, some one said
the trouble was due to Governor Garce-
Ions application of "rigid exactness to
the returns" To this Senator Blaine re-
piled:
''The trouble was not in regard to
the application of rigid exactness, for
there was not any rule of technicality
given that, applied clear through i'm
partially would not elect the whole Re-
publican ticket. Applause. But the
trouble was, that technicality was APP
piled in one town to defraud the peO-
pie, and an exactly opposite technicali-
ty in the next town. This he illus
trated by the cases of misspelling of the
names of Burnham and Alfred. The
Republicans asked the Governor and
Council to lay down any rule and stick
to it, and they could not have laid down
any rule and stuck to it without giving
the Legislature in both branches to the
Garcelon's rule of action was very
simple one. 1t was to take advantage
of any technicality that would count out
a Republican legislator, and pass by any
technicality that would have excluded
a Democratic or Fusionist candidate.
Garcelon stretched his own conscience
as he did the law, and his reward for it
is the accusation of having sold out the
interests Of the cOnspirators when he
left Office Cincinnati Commercial.

Wbnt LoonI Ontion Cnn No,

A correspondent of the Western Chris
tan Advocate, writing from Edwards
county, Illinois, tells what it has done
in that county; and what it has done
there 1t can do in every county of Ohio
where it Is adopted. Let the petitions
in favor of it be sent in to the Legisla-
ture from every corner of our State.
The correspondent writes as follows:
"There has been no place for eight
cen years where man could buy in
tOXicating liquors as a beverage. On
recent visit to Albion, the seat of JUS
tice, learned some facts In reference to
the subject that are worth knowing,
which would settle some questions sat
isfactOrily to everybody, unless it would
be the whisky sellers and political dem
agogues. Here are the facts:
"The terms of court in that county
are from two to three days in length.
The imprisonments in the county jail
are from one to two persons in period
of five or six years. Only one person
has gone to the State prison from that
county, and he went outside the county
and got drunk, went home and killed
his wife. But little litigation Is had
before Justices of the Peace. The peo-
pie are not in debt. In May, 1869,
there was but mortgages on record In
the county. The poor expenses of the
county are but $500 a year, while in a
neighboring county, only half as large,
where they sell liquor, it is $4,000 a
year. The taxes assessed and paid are
33 Der cent. less than onv county In
A large per cent. of the oiti-
zens are German and English. A very
large per cent. Of the people are rellg-
iOus.
81 visited that county last May and
saw great evidences of thrift. found
Albion a quiet town, with no loafers, no
billiard saloons, no horseshoe pitching,
no store box whiting. When men
come to town they come because they
have business. l was impressed with
the thought that these were geOd places

"Didn't you have a fight once on the
floor of Congress with Southern MEM
bGr?"
"The only difficulty of that sort
had was with man by the name of
Wright, from Tennessee. He was q
man who drank hard, and came on the
floor in that condition. was making
speech one day, and came to the end
of sentence, when this man said,
'That's lie.' He was some distance
from me, and l did not hear it; but the
reporter did hear it, and put it down in
his transcript, so that next day it APP
peared in the Globe newspaper. This
made me mad, and arose on the day
following to question Of privilege. /
said that had not heard any such re-
mark made, and presumed thatthe gen.
tleman from Tennessee who did make
it, as the reporter had heard it, was in
such condition that he did not know
what he was saying. At this Wright
arose as II to make reply, but his col
leagues surrounding him pulled him
down. A little while after he came
around to speak to some of the Southern
Americans, or Know-NOthings, who
sat just around me. He addressed a re-
mark to one of these, and as he did so
looked at me with some insOlence. /
arose at once and picked up q cup of
waters, such as lay on the desk of every
member at that time, and threw the
contents in his face. He had pistol at
his hip, and tried to draw it on the floor,
when he was suppressed by the other
members. However, the incident made
a great impression on the House, and
led to an early adjournment, as there
was every expectation of either duel
or an affray. 1t was known that was
no duelist, but would repel an assault.
A member from the Southern element
came to me to find out what l meant to
do. told him that should repel any |
physical attack on me with interest. He |
then instructed me that If the sequel of |
this incident was to be an assault in
stead of duel, there could be one as
sault-that the fight had to begin and |
end In single encounter. He told me |
to be ready. got pistol and put tin

The London Times, January 81, opens
a leader with this encouraging para
graph:
"There seems little room for doubt
that the revival of trade, looked for in
vain, has at last come. Signs of it are
to be seen in every direction. The
metal market has been advancing stead
lily, and prices have probably not yet
reached the highest point at which
they will stand. The charge for
freights between this country and the
United States has gone up, and the de-
mand nevertheless continues to be in
excess of the supply. Activity is the
rule in every branch. The only COM
plant is that orders can not be execut-
ed rapidly enough for the wants of mer-
chants and manufactures. The iron
ship building yards have as much work
on hand as they can do, and though the
prices of iron steam vessels have adj
vanCed the orders which have already
been received are large enough to insure
full employment to the working hands
during the next six months. We have
been warned, it is true, that all this
may be nothing but flash in the pan,
but, at least, it is very welcome flash;
and we can hardly see in what other
way the early sighs of a genuine trade
revival could display themselves than
by such facts as we have stated. The
promise is good"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The patent
bill, which passed the House to-day, is
in the interest of innocent purchasers
of patented articles. 1t is the results of
widespread complaints from all parts of
the country of suits against farmers
who are induced by sharpers to pur-
chase such articles, and then seem to
be at onee pursued, as a part of the
game, by those who own the patent
right, The bill provides that where
the sum recovered in such suit is
So the one bringing it shall pay the
costs, and were $40 are recovered, the
one bringing the suit shall pay one half
the costs. The theory of the bill is that
