SOME Stalwart Republicans are opposing
Mr.. Hiscock's election for Speaker upon
the ground that in 1872 he was Liberal
Republican, and supported Greeley for
President. They say his speeches during
that campaign were the most vituperativc
and bitter against the Republicans of any
man in the country, and that in speech
at Syracuse, New York, during that cam
behind him.

SENATOR EDMUNDs was at the Capitol
to-day. He is still wrestling with the old
and musty law books in the Judiciary Com
mittce room. If Judge Edmunds were not
an honorable and humane man, it might be
charged that he was putting up "job "
on the Bourbons. Well, never mind, he will
be heard from next winter.

SHERKR Bros, analytical chemists OF
New York, who are considered authority
on all points in sugar and syrup, have
recently analysed sample Of the Amber
cane syrup made at Farlbault. They say :
''The analysis made shows the syrup to
be of excellent quality, far superior in
fact to the best refined syrups at present
to be found in the eastern markets." &c.
This is a high compliment to the Fari-
bault refinery, which we hope they will
always be worthy of maintaining. The
many adulterators of sugara ard syrups
in our land ought to be hunted down,and
severely punished.
