The Cincinnati Commercial, an indie
pendent journal, makes the following
observations of a prophetic nature:
1.-THE experiment of putting the South
ern Confederacy, revived, recognized,
compacted and embittered as the solid
South, on top of the United States, will
not be tried this time. The country
is not so degraded as to come to that.
Maine will go strong against the
shameful fusion there. Indiana will
next come to the front with Ohio, on
the Republican side, and the Republi-
cans will carry the November cleo
lions with an overwhelming storm.
That S the way it is going. The signs
of the times will grow thicker and
brighter to this effect as the days pass

The election of Garfield and Arthur
is not the only work that the Republic
can party has before it. The House
of Representative should be redeem
ed from Confederate control. and this
should be done by such decisive vote
as will leave rebel brigadlers with no
hope of ever again controlling the leg
islative branch of the government
which they have in every conceivable
manner sought to destroy, first by
open rebellion, then by bull-dozing,
ballot-box stuffing, tissue ballots and a
fraudulent count. Let Judge Humph-

do the old Seventh District proud. and
serve as an intimation to the rebels
that he is strongly backed by a constit-

Possibly there has been II great rise in the
price of straw and wood fiber 80 largely used
in the manufacture Of print paper; but the
fact is nowhere recorded in market reports
accessible to the ordinary searcher after in
formation. While the paper-makers arc
bowling about the rise in the price of rags,
which enter only ms fraction into the com
position of print paper, they ought to have
something to say about straw and wood,
which form tho body Of most of the print
papers in general use by the daily press
The rise in the price ofrags does not explain
tho outrageous rise in the price Of ordinary
print paper to the extent OF more than half

ing short of u repeal of the duty on paper
will bring the greedy paper-makers to their
