SENATOR JOHN b. GORDON of Georgia has
resigned his position and ex-Gov. Joseph +.
Brown has been appointed to fill the vacancy.
Senator Gordon is led to take this step be-
cause he is a poor man, and finds it impossi-
BILE, with justice 10 himself and his family,
to remain longer in public life. Numerous
interests of his have long been suffering for
want of proper attention. and now an OPP
portunity is presented to him to repair the
fortune which has been broken by his long
public life Senator Gordon has been in the
service Of the public since his Goth year, and
he is now little more than as. The Legis-
laiure of Georgia has but just reelected him
to the Senate, his term not expiring until
1885 Senator Gordon is one of the abiest
Of the Southern Senators and his party will
greatly miss him
Ex-SEcRErAEY HAMILTON FISH, as report
ed in n recent interview, considers that any
objections 10 a third term apply logically as
well to second, and that in any case such
objections can only be urged against consec-
utive terms. as an interval of retirement
as in the case of Grant-prevents the abuse
of power and patronage to secure reelection
"A position long since taken and urged by
this paper The term, Mr.. Fish thinks,
should he extended to eight years. and i'm

present elected the president is unable to do
any valuable service except for about two and
one-haf years of his terms. MIR. Fish appre-
hends no danger of monarchy, but says
that If any danger to the country exists, it
is that it may fall to pieces of its own bulk or

by disregard of State rights. as distinguished

HoIATIo SEYMOUR says that he has no
idea that he will be nominated at Gin
cinnati, but he feels that he is doing wrong
to his party, even in the involuntary use it
it making of his name. He has done his best
to make the party understand his weakness
and inexpediency as candidate. He has no
sort Of doubt of his inability to carry New
York, and his health positively would not
permit him to discharge the duties of the
Presidential office He favors the selection
of some man outside the State of New York
as candidate, knowing that Tilden will be
certain to throw his influence against any
New York man who may be nominated. The
Governors immediate friends regard the
nomination of Tilden as most probable.

Steamer Aground.

LONDON, September 50. Advices from
Kilbay. Scotland, state that two unsuccess-
full attempts were made Monday to float
steamer Canopas. The cargo Of valuable
goods were put aboard lighter. Cabin pas
seugers and many steerage passengers have
been landed. The steamer has sustained no
damage thus far. The cargo is discharged,
but she is not yet on even keel. Each hour
lessons the chance of floating her, for in the
event of heavy sea from the southwark she
will be likely to break up. Another attempt
to float her will be made.
The Franklin Expedition.
Commander Cheyne asserts that the Frank
lin expedition TO the Arctic was killed by
starving. owing TO the contractors furnishing
such putrid meats in cans that they could not
be eaten. The same contractor supplied the
subsequent expedition, of which Cheyne was
a member, with canned meats. which proved
to be nothing but offal and had to be thrown
away. Cheyne makes the assertion publicly
and calls for an inquest upon the remains OF
Lieut. Irving, when he will give his testi-
mony, proving the truth of his charge.

LABOR TROUBLES.


FAIL RIVER, Mass, September so. The
weavers of Barnard mill struck at noon. in con
sequence of changeless goods. BY which they
claim they are not paid as high wages as by
regular goods. The agent says he is paying
the same rate as for old work. The strike is
in no way connected with the proposed re-
duction. but is especially local 10 this single
mill.
There is little new in regard to the strike,
all waiting action of the spinners' meeting,
Saturday. Manufacturers are preparing a
table showing prices paid year ago, prices
paid during the period when Is per cent, ad-
vance in wages was in operation, and also for
the last few months, when the extra 10 per
cent has been in operation. They claim that
these figures will show an advance in a ma
Jority of cases of considerable more than %
per cent. over the wages paid year ago.
The feeling is growing that the spinners will
not vote 10 strike.
