There is no backbone weakness perceptible any
where except at Albany.
Ex-Governor Seymour has succeeded in filling a
half dozen columns with his views. Won't some
body see how many colu ms it would take to hold
TlldensT
The members of the Cabinet don't resign worth a
cent. On Tuesday morning it was announced that
at least two of them would resgn at once, but upon
being consulted about If neither Of the twOdesig-
mated had heard Of any such intention. 1t must be
dreadfully discouraging TO an ambitious and enter
prising correspondent TO have his exclusive nfOr-
nation made vaueless by the unaccouD table 0Dstl-
macy and ignorance OF the persons whom 1t con-
Germs.
The much-talked-Of Republican spill" is al
ready an enormous Chasrn seen in the Democratic
newspapers Outside Of th)m the alleged aperture
is scarcely visible to tho naked eye.
There seems to be a movement on the part of Sem
ator Conkng's 1Ost iDjudicious friends to induce
him TO attempt political suicide
It was noticeable that on Tuesday, when q whole
squad of Southern Senators rushed upon Malone,
Ben Hill kept quietly out of the fray Perhaps he
has become conscious of the fact that something
unpleasant happened to him when be attacked
Malone before 1t may be, however that some dis
Greet and muscular member of the Democracy had
firm hold on Mr. HilPs coat-tails.
Much silent sympathy is felt in Washington for
the Hon. Daniel Webster Voorhees, who took off his
coat and cravat in rage in the Senate week age,
and has been waiting ever since to skin his
knuckles against the National banks.
After all, nobody seems to have been in twitter
of alarm about the disruption of tho Cabinet and
the general shipwreck of the Republican party ex-
cept the able Washington correspondents.
-
Mr. English thinks the Democracy is bound to
win in time IL it only keeps up its pluck. He is
able TO see that it is better condition than it was
forty years ago. 1t may be he is right. At the
present rate of progress another forty years may
bring the Democrats in sight of success. There is
not a Republican in the country who Is not Wiling
to put them on probation for forty years longer, or
ever eighty. No Republican would be mean about
q thing like that.
great variety of Democratic opinions upon the
condition and prospects of the party was collected
and published by Tie Chicago Times last week. Emf
nent statesmen were tapped in all parts of the
country save New-York. This State was omitted
entirely. 1t may be that its eminent Democratic
saces were sounded and refused TO respond This
could not have been the case with General Han
cock. He is always delightfully."- ready with ais
views, and man in the conutry has any which are
read with moro interest, The Chicago interviewer
should ill the hiatus In his collection by giving at
least page of opinions from the General.
Il has been discovered that the Morey forgery was
committed outside the office CT the newspaper which
published it. The same fact has not yet been dis
covered concerning Barnums headquarters. Hunt
the rascal down."

,een invasion Of political or personal rights in

It seems from the Albany dispatches thaV
the Republican members of the LEGISLATURE
are not-strange as it may seem-fond OF De-
ing laughed at, and that they show IN their
talk a decided unwillingness to rescind the
Robertson resolution. Such, at lest, is the
present aspect of affairs. This is natural ana
sensible. To say one week that Judge Robert
son was a good man for Collector, and to say
the next week that he was not good man for
Collector, would simply make the men who
said it diculous To do this visiby
under orders from Washington would not
detract from tIIe circus-like absu'dity of the
performance. But to try to do it under
orders from Washington, and then fail IN the
attempt that would be a sadly ludicrous cll-
max indeed. The Republican Legislators, who
are estimable neil, do not deserve to be made
the laughing-stock of the country, and should
persist n their determination not to be TOO
amiable for their own good.
New-York tribune., 1881-03-31

Many other illustrations could be given, but
none more conclusive. This year American
industry is supplying a larger share Of its
own needs than it did year ago.
The other great fact is that American in
dustry is supplying larger share OF the food
and clothing of Europe than it did year ago.
The clothing in manufactured form we do not
yet largely supply, but the cotton from which
it is made. The food we supply more largely
than ever before The dependence Of foreign
nations upon American farms is steadily in
crcaslnS. Last year, with crops bad beyond
all precedent, Europe escaped great and wide
spread suffering only because this country had
p.enty of food to sell. But this year, although
the European crops last fall were generally
good, the quantity of grain exported from tins
country has been even larger than it ever
was before. Exports of -four and wheat and
of com. reducing -four to wheat, from Sep
tcmbcr l to March 70, have been 127, 7,S76,4 4O7
bushels from seven Atlantic ports, against
12j, ,SS2,0 ,0G3 during the same weeks In
1S70-'sO. But the striking fact here, also, is
that the American labor is doing n larger
share Of the work thnn ever before Where
wc used 10 scrd wheat to be ground into -four,
we ere now sending -four ground for use.
This change goes on each each year. Last
wear 20 per cent of the wheat exported to
March 20 went in the form of -four; this
year the proportion il but little less than 80
Ter cent. Great Britain received from this
ga, "A E.l,r

The proportion of shipments OF flour to
other countries, and the cease in proportion
Of flour, have been much greater. But even
Great Britain, which is compelled to rely
largely upon American farms, now lies
largely also upon American mills, and alrelug
has n quarter of the wheat ground before it is
shipped That change. too, will surely go oil
rapidly, until much the larger part of the
flour on British tables will 60 thither from
American mills.
Similar changes are to be noted in many
branches of the export trade. This country is
not only sending to other countries a larger
ouantity than ever before of necessaries of
life. but is doing a larger part of the work to
prepare them for usG. The world is Begin
ming TO pay us, not only for raising wheat,
but for grinding il not only for raising cot
ton. but for making it into cloth. AS these
changes go on, the amount of money which
this country will require for its products and
its labor must surely and rapidly increase. AT
the same time, owing to the constant develop
ment of our industries, the amount which re
shall find it advantageous to pay to foreign
nroducers for articles which are also manu-
factured here will steadily and surely de-

Others competent to discuss the topics assigned

conference is to bring the work of the Bureau of
Charities more prominently before tho public. This
is an excellent enterprise, and in the two or three
years of its existence it has done much good work IL

the opinion that it would be better to raise the
needed money before selecting another presi-

The Legislature took hold of the Street.
Cleaning bill in earnest yesterday. 1t passed
the Senate without dissenting vote and
with but one important amendment, was sent
10 the Assembly, and referred there to a
committee, which gave hearing upon it the
tame afternoon. An intimation that the peo-
pie of New-York are mad is effective now and
hen.
Mr.. Dawes told little story yesterday about
Democrat who asked why G neral Hancock
was beaten. and was told, because Ben Hill
was not born dumb.n II was a story that poor
dear Mr.. Hill would have enjoyed when he
was alive, and the thought must have brought
tears to the eyes of the Democratic Senator'S
Cadet Whitaker was on the stand in bis
own defence yesterday. He named three
cadets who had treated him with discOurtesy,
and three others whom he had suspected of

very new was developed in the examination,

upon the subject of his height.

There ought to be no hesitation on the part Oh
any member of the Legislature in voting to pass
the bill to prevent lottery dealing in this State
The City of New-York is the only large city in
the country in which the lottery swindlers find i'm
munity from prosecution and punishment; and the
recen efforts to disodge them from this stronghold
will be we'll supplemented by putting upon the
Mayor as this bill proposes, the responsibility for
their longer conduct of their business openly, by
publication and otherwise. There is a good oppor-
tunty just now, in the present state of public feel
Ing to suppress this evil, and no appliances of law
and authority should bo spared to that end. We
hope the ill will be pressed to vote at an early
day. There is some curiosity to know who are the
friends of the lottery and policy gamblers in the
present Legislature.

Ep. RECORD: Nearly every mining

the list, and, if one might judge by the
immense ore-bodies in the California,
Maggie and Silver Flat mines-not to
mention the other equally good mines
which this company own-it will take
years to exhaust the supply. The man
agement, too, is in good hands, and re-
fleets much credit to H. s. Lubbock,
