issue of Mr.. Vick's Guide" has heretofore

The Springfield (Mass.) Repub'iran is Il rc-
publican paper which, though it supported
Garfield is evidently not without serious mis-
givings that the tendency of the party of great
moral ideas" isn't altogether in the right direc-
ton, and expresses It's apprehenslons as fol-
lows:
There Is an uneasy feeling among great
masses Of voters that the pendulum has swung
far enough one way and ought to begin going
toward the other. Easy-golng expenditure
the rich classes, the great corporations, the
mammoth fortunes Of the country, the rolling
snow balls of dollars. which grow larger as
they roll on and leave behind bare and
crushed track, have all come to be identified
with the republican party. Not always with
justice but often with reason; and the counter
current, which bllndly seeks to curb and con
fine these influences, to the end that labor may
be lightly burdened and the many be happy,
sets strong in the channels Of the democratic
party. 1t would be idle not to see that it has
contained, and, if it hangs together, is likely
to embody, large share of the wholesome
American purpose that government shall be
simple, the many cared for and wealth diff.
fused"

Nearly all the Germans in this country are
republicans and supporters of the centralizing
theories of that party and the conversion ofour
sisterhood of co.equal states into one vast
splendid empire, like Germany since 1870. AT
the same time Germans write letters like the
following to a German in Milwaukee,, from
Carlsbad, Bavaria, Nov. l, 1880
"1o an agent In Copenhagen | thank the
honor of your address. | wish to emigrate to
America, but, sad to relate, it is hard to sell
anything, and then only at heavy loss. Our
Germany has become poor country. Its un-
ity brought poverty IN It's train Everything
groans under the pressure Of military, state
officials and police. Whoever has the means
goes his way and lets Germany be. Before two
years have passed the whipplng-post Will be
introduced among us again. In the bundles
rath the question is already being discussed.
And then the citizen who does not bow and
lick the spit" is no longer safe. Some beau
tful fine morning he will arise, only to lay
himself down again at night with twenty-five
stripes on his hack. What a disgrace to us
Germans. This IS our reward for the year
1870. Believe me, do not take a gloomy view
of things In two years we will have the
whipping-post."
Oh yes, by all means let us have strong
government" like that of Kaiser Wilhelm
with plenty of military, state officials, police
everywhere and the whipping-post!

The arrivals of Amerlcan and canadian cat.

| The arrivals Of American and Canadian cat
tie and fresh meat during the past week at
Liverpool have been unusually small, there
being only 80 head of cattle landed, 3,l30 qrs
OF beef SOB carcasses of mutton and 1913 pigs,
against a total Of COG cattle, $40 sheep, 5,G07
qrs. of beef, go carcasses OF mutton and Boil
pigs on the previous week, thus showing n
large decrease IN cattle, and as regards sheep
there were none arrived, which Is the first
time for many months past.
The Licerpool JoutuaI IF Commerce calls
attention to Il new method Of Sailing cattle on
board ocean steamers, the object of which Is
TO make the conveyance OF cattle from Ameri-
ca more safe and profitable than 1t has been
thus far. 1t is recent American invention,
the full details of which are not yet made
known and consists Of what is called a plat
form STALL" capable Of hold eight animals.
1t Is suspended by chains so that il remains
perfectly level when the vessel rolls, like the
glass racks fitted IN steamers cabins. The
success Of such plan remains to be proved.
The journal alluded to puts the question Of
providing better accommodation for cattle on
ocean boats from Humanitarian point of
view, and says: at Is, IN truth, matter of
more than mere trading and commercial in.
,erest, for Inasmuch as 4 great mortality and
loss of cattle at sen means also greater
amount of agony and suffering to them, so it
Is fast becoming question Of, not only VIII
it pay?' but Shall it be permitted" if better
and more mercitul methods of conveyance are
not soon adopted" OF course there Is and
must be great deal Of suffering connected
with the transit Of live animals by rail and by
sea; especially by sea, which Is inseparable
from the traffic itself. The long journeys
which have to be endured by United States
cattle in railway cars before their ocean trou.
bles come upon them must entail great suffer
ing and great waste. A traffic in fresh meat
would be far safer-from a sanitary point OF
vew--tar less wastefu and far more humane
We fear, however, that no mere humanitarian
consideration will ever suffice to alter the
features of this trade; but any scheme which
will entail less waste-f not attended by too
great cost-.will, no doubt be carefully con
sidered

LONDON, Eng, Dec 90, 1880.
The continuance of dry weather has been
very advantageous to agriculture. The colder
which prevailed at the close of
the week is preferable to the unreasonably
mild weather which has hitherto characterized
the month of November, and will prove a
wholesome check to the rapid growth OF the
early sown wheats on kind land The British
grain trade has been subject to a material
shrinkage during the week, and whilst sundry
descriptions OF breadstufls remain nominally
unchanged in value, everything is cheaper to
buy. The demand for English wheat and
-four was very slow at the commencement OF
the week. both in London and the provinces.
English wheats were difficult to sell and fully
Is. per or. lower than on Monday, and TO effect
sales a still greater reduction was in some
cases necessary. The trade IN foreign grain
and breadstuifs has been depressed throughout
the week Breadstutfs have been in much
smaller supply to London, but the importation
into the United Kingdom has been consldera-
bly, greater than for the previous week, and
the quantity on passage shows a material in
crease on that of The proceeding week and on
the quantity on passage for the corresponding
week last year. The visible supply in the
United States also shows an increase, and the
receipts from India have been comparatively
large.
In France the young wheats are reported as
being very healthy, and the open weather has
enabled considerable amount OF home grown
grain TO be threshed and marketed
In Germany the trade for breadstuff has
been slow, and rye Is cheaper. Other grain

RAISING MONEY FOR THE MAHoNITEs.
Ex-Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, chair
man of the national republican executive
committee, left tonight after consulting
with Malone regarding the approaching
election in Virginia. He endorses the
readjuSter movement in that state, and
promises to secure $35,000 or $4,000, if ne
ceSSary, 10 pay poll tax of destitute colored
voters. 1t is said. besides this, that Jewell
has consented TO use his efforts to induce
Congressman Dessendorf to follow in Jor-
gensen's steps, and support the readjusters'
ticket. Jewell and Dessendorf had a long
conference tonight at the Arlington, at
which time the situation was fully discuss
ed. Immediately after it was over, Desen-
dorf said: 80 far as General JEWELS mis-
sion relates to me, it has been a failure, but
this is not my fault nor the fault
of my friends. The proposition has
been made to me to see if some
thing could not be done to harmonic the
republican party in Virginia by the
consolidation ofth two republican commit
tees. There does not seem to be any dis
position except to require an absolute sur
render, by those republicans who feel that
they do not desire the election of Daniels,
and who think that the policy now being
pursued is the surest way to secure that
result
You will not, therefore, become read
juster2" he asked.
mo, sir, my position is shat of the repub-
lican who is not opposed to liberal policy.
but decidedly opposed to the illiberal policy
now being pursued in Virginia, which will
destroy the republican party there, and in
my judgment result in the election of
Daniels and democratic United States
senator, result which have always been
opposed to, and which will not knowingly
do anything to further"
Then you think Daniels will be elected"
II do, because the course that has been
pursued has driven away republicans who
might, under other circumstances, have
been drawn to support the Cameron ticket"

finds himself in an elegant compartment
