The more complete the returns from
the Ohio and Indiana elections the bet
ter they look for the Republicans. In
Ohio, the result is officially announced
for every county except Hamilton. TAX
ing the unofficial returns from that coun-
ty it seems that the total vote cast at
the recent election was about 625, 900,
or the smallest cast since 1878. There
was falling off of nearly 100000 votes
from the total of last year. The Re-
publicans, with all this falling off, how
ever, have plurality of $4,000 on the
State Treasurer, 29, on the Attor-
ney-General and 24,0l9 on Governor.
Fosters vote is $4,000, which is g.
600 less than Garfield and $4,000 less
than Townsend received last year, but
it is 5000 more than he received when
he ran before. Bookwalter received
$4,000, or $1,000 less than Hancock
and $4,000 less than Lang last fall and
10000 less than Ewing two years ago
in Iowa. The complete official returns
of 81 counties. with the reported ma
jorities in IS more, bring the Republi
can gubernatorial majority up to So,
95l. Five counties are yet to be heart
from.

BUSINESS In THE SOUTH.

Many circumstances now favor a res
toratlon of the relations between the
North and South which before the war
made the Union one in fact as we'll as
in name. There is no political agita-
ton pending to distract attention from
the development of tbs natural resources
of the Southern soil. Southern people
have learned, after an experience of ex-
clusiveness since the war, that they can
only prosper through the greatest free
dom of Accommodation with the
Northern people. In former years the
direct Interstate trade was as much a
stimulus to Southern as it was to North
ern industry. 1t built up the sugar
trade, so much that the proceeds of this
crop in 1860 ranked Dext to cotton.
Many products of the South can be sold
only in the North. The Charleston
NeaDs and Courier in its annual trade
review just issued shows that the do
nestle traffic with the North is very
large in fruits and special products.
The people of that state are now earnest
and united in their efforts to diversity
their resources, and Northern capitalists
are readily joining in these efforts.
Northern men have been quick to see
the advantages offered them within the
past few months-the liberal spirit and
ready cooperation of citizens. A con-
dition of substantial prosperity has set
in, which is building up the towns and
cities with the diversity of pursuits
characteristic of the North, and which
is rapidly changing the plantation char.
acter into one of near Proclamation tc
the metropolitan diversity of the north
of Europe. This change is that which
above all others the South needed, anc
in its train many other and associated
improvements are certain to come. The
Atlanta exposition represents the spiri
, now prevailing in the South. 1t shows
that the people are united in their eff
forts to restore the fullest measure o
prosperity of former times. Mechanics
, inventors, merchants and even specula
; tors are now invited to try their fortune
in Atlanta as freely as in Chicago.

An attempt was made early Tuesday

this was exploded, badly damaging the
building but not making an opening into

heard and an alarm given, but the burg
lars escaped. The bank stands in a pc

The lumbermen in Maine are much
disturbed by the destructive insects
which are killing the spruce trees not
only in that state, but in the adjacent
British Provinces. The white pine has
lost its prominence, and the spruce was
getting IN position to be the represent
alive tree, but the Urocerus albicornus.
if the thing has been correctly identified,
the augusta Journal says, is killing off
the spruce faster than the lumbermen
could have done it, and greatly to their
detriment. The white-horned Urocerus,
for that is what his name means, is
about an inch long and with wings
which spread to two inches They are
as likely to destroy the pines into which
they bore as the Spruces, SO far as the
entomologists know. These insects are
very prolific, and not at all uncommon
In England it has often been noticed
and recorded, but there it was injurious
only to ornamental trees. not to those in
whose preservation so many people are
interested as the spruce forests of th'
Northeast.

900 pounds against 100000 pounds
in the same month last year, decrease
of 100000 pounds. For the five
months of the dairy year, beginning
May |, the total quantity of butter ex-
ported was 12,4oO0,O0O pounds against
21,700.000 in the same time IN 1880, a
a decrease of 100000 pounds. In
other words, supposing the production
to be the same, we have nine million
pounds more for home than we had last
year. Surely. with this increased sup
ply. the people ought to be able to buy
as cheaply as last year. If the demand
from abroad should increase it would
materially relieve the market. but at
present there are no signs of activity III
that quarter. The st. Adams dispatch,
received at the Produce Exchange Tues
day afternoon reads as follows: "Butter
market firm. General price % to 80
cents; fair to good, 20 to 25 cents; Sc
lections 33 to So cents. Shipments to-
day 1000 tubs These are just the
same prices as quoted last week, and
show a range Of Is cents from the low

shat the consumer can get it under 40

PRESIDENT ARTHUR AT
YORKTOWN.

President Arthur made the following
address at Yorktown, on Wednesday,
which was received with good deal of
enthusiasm:
Upon this soil one hundred years ago
our forefathers brought to successful
issue their heroic struggle for independ-
ence. Here and then was established.
and as we trust, made secure upon this
continent for ages yet to come, that
principle of government which is the
very fibre of our political system, the
sovereignty of the people. The resent
ments which attended and for time
survived the clash of arms have long
since ceased to animate our hearts. 1t
is with no feeling of exultation over
defeated foe that to-day we summon up
a remembrance of those events which
have made holy the ground wherein we
tread. Surely no such unworthy senti-
ment could find harbor in our hearts, so
profoundly thrilled with the expression
of sorrow and sympathy which our ma
tlonal bereavement has evolved from
the people of England and their august
sovereign, but it is altogether fitting
that we should gather here to refresh
our souls with contemplation of the un-
faltering patriotism. the sturdy zeal and
the sublime faith which achieved the
results we now commemorate. For SO,
if we learn Alright the lesson of the
hour, shall we be melted to transmit to
the generation which shall follow the
precious legacy which our fathers left
to us-the love of liberty, protected by
law. Of that historic scene which we
here celebrate no feature is more promi-
nent and none more touching than the
participation of our gallant allies from
across the sea. 1t was their presence
which gave fresh and vigorous impulse
to the hopes of our countrymen, wher
we'll nigh disheartened by long series
of disasters. 1t was their noble ane
generous aid, extended in the darkes
period of the struggle, which sped thu
coming of our triumph and made tn
capitulation at Yorktown possible cen
fury ago. To their descendants ant
representatives who are here present a
the honored guests of the nation it i
my glad duty to offer cordial welcome
You have right to share with US th
associations which cluster about the da
when your fathers fought side by sid
with our fathers in the cause which wa
here crowned with success, and none {
the memories awakened by this ann
: versary are more grateful to US all tina
. the reflection that the national frlent
ships here so closely cemented have GU
lasted the mutations of changeful Gel
fury. God grant, my countrymen, th;
they may ever remain mistaken ar
that ever henceforth with ourselves ar
: with all the nations of the earth '
may be at peace

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Especial Correspondence ofthe Monitor.1
NEW YORK, Oct, "a, 1881.

NEW YORK, Oct, "a, 1881.
Perhaps our methods with criminals
are too harsh after all, though in this
busy world one hardly knows how to
apply more tender means of reformation
than We do. A little incident has just
happened, however, that has set some
people thinking. A stunted, wretched

his own name, was unacquainted with
the virtues of soap, had no recollection

fashion to the age of Is, was arraigned

for stealing horse and wagon. Coun-
sellor, Mott leading member of the
Queens County bar, was attracted to
the little pariab, and came forward as
his defender. The culprit was let off
and under the counsellor's eye was
scrubbed and rubbed and barberized
and civilized with a new suit of clothes
and then introduced as the genial law
yer's son by sort of pious fraud to the
district attorney. That stern official

the bright-looking boy. WELL" said
jolly Mott, "that's not my Johnny, it's

There is fair prospect that within
ten years the United States will stand
at the head of the nations in cotton
manufactures. In the past ten years,
while Great Britain has made slight
gain in the amount of her manufactures,
the gain of the United States has been
more than 100 per cent. The amount
manufactured in the United States in
1880 was, in round numbers, 100000
900 pounds; in Great Britain l,400,-
100000 pounds. The gain of the Unit
ed States has been so rapid that if the
same proportion shall be kept up her
consumption of the raw product will ex-
coed that of Great Britain in much less
than ten years.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. The work of
the extra session of the senate has been
accomplished. A president pro tempore
has been chosen who can take the helm
should any unlooked-for event deprive
the ship of state of its commander, and
this afternoon the only important vacan-
cy in the cabinet, that of secretary of
the treasury. was filled by the nominal
tion and prompt confirmation of Judge
Folger of the New York court of ap-
peals. There are other vacancies to be
filled, but none of them are of pressing
Importance. The judges Of the supreme
court can continue to sit, even if the
chair occupied by the late Justice Cliff
ford remains empty, and the vacancy
will undoubtedly be filled before the
time arrives for the judges to 60 on the
different circuits. Then, as to the attor-
ney-general, should Mr.. MacVeagh pos
itively decline to remain until the star
route prosecutions inaugurated by him
are finished, Solicitor General Philips is
in every way competent to go on with
them. Ex-senator Howe was not willing
to go into the department of justice
while these cases were pending, as his
son-in-law, Col. Totten, is one of the
principal legal advisers of the star route
swindlers, and should the prosecution
fail to hold water, there would be charge
of collision. In short, the Garfield cab.
met will remain as the advisers of Pres
ident Arthur until December, with the
exception of Mr.. Window, who has beer
elected a senator from Minnesota, anG
perhaps Mr.. MacVeagh.

President Arthur has thus far greatly
surprised the country by the wisdom,
moderation and ability he has shown in
the great duties which have devolved
upon him. He has silenced the enemies
of his party. and so far has made no
breaks in his own. His selections for
the cabinet have been wise, and the mi
nor appointments made are acceptable
to the party. He seems to follow strict
ly in the pathway foreshadowed in his
message, when he indicated that he
should take that course which had been
so well begun by the lamented Garfield.

ing. Another favorable thing is the
fact that real estate. which fell into such
a state of depression, is on the rise again
and there are more and reader sales.
If the people are willing to keep their
expenses down to a safe limit and if
they do not relax the effort now brought
forth, few years more will make re-
markable change in the condition of af-
fairs with many whose prospects only a
few years ago were exceedingly gloomy.
There is no question but that the coun-
try has entered a condition of great
prosperity.

The sudden death of J. G.. Holland,
the popular editor and lecturer, and the
editor of .ScrTbner's Monthly, is a pub
lie loss, loss to pure literature and the
elevating forces in society. The New
York San cynically remarks that his
death has caused vacancy not likely to
be filled, owing to the fact that the de-
mand for such books and literary work
as DR.. Hollands is likely to be dimin-
ished. We hope that such prophesying
will never have falfillment. 1t will be
an untoward day for our country when
our literature shall lose the purity Of
tone, the elevation of sentiment, the
profitable monition, which characterize
the writings of DR.. Holland. We re.
joice that he achieved success as such
an author, success in influence, and il
pecuniary profit. 1t will be well if his
noble example shall stimulate other gift
ed writer's to learn the fact that matter
is of more consequence than manner, anc
that even in literature virtue is of great
er moment than artistic brilliancy.

1t is pleasant to mark the change that
has come over the spirit and feelings of
business men. farmers, mechanics and
laborers during the last year, on account
of the improvements in business. Ev-
erybody seems to be full of hope and
energy. Those who were badly in debt
have been able to liquidate the whole or
portions of their Indebtedness and their
prospects are Frightening. Labor COM
mands good wages. and everybody who
wishes to work finds opportunity. Farm
products are bringing good prices. and
the crops of the past season were very
heavy. with the exception of potatoes.
The dairy business is paying well, most
kinds of stock are increasing in value,
and farming, the chief industry, is pay
