The Secretary Of tire Treasury and the
other members Of the Cabinet are now pre-
pairing their annual reports, which will 90

message, week after next. -
We wonder how much weight the opin-

ssrrhe Ohio election took place on Tuesday,
the 10th OF this month. Il resulted in a
gain to the democratic party Gf several
Congresgmen for the next Congress. At
once there arose 4 ,jubiIant claim froIn the
organs Of that party that the next house of
REPRESENTATIVES would be Democratic.
How did business and capital regard that
claim and the consequence Of it, i true !?
It is estimated from Well-Ionaded data that
on Wednesday, the l1th Of October, the
day following, there was Shfnhage OF
values in the great properties OF the c0un-
try Of over $4,000. 900. That shrinkage
has been going on ever since. Do the
business interests Of the country look with
dread to a return Of the Democratic party

, In q New York dispatch. published some
days ago, it was stated that the Rev. Tai
mage gave offense to Cutter, "she Long
Island poet,'' by advising farmers to stick
to their plows and leave poetry alone.
This snide poet is most peculiar genius.
Having more money than brains and little
or no education, he spends the greater
part Of his time in grinding out the most
horrible doggerel, which he has printed in
the style of penny ballads, with his own
portrait at the head, and circulated gratu-
iteusly among his aequaintances. He
owns f1ne estate on Long Island, and
almost any New York bank would cash
bis check for $50, 900; but he is:very pc
nurioua, and apparently has no other OBJ
]eets inlife than to hoard his money and
bore his neighbors with his so-called po-
etry. No wonder Talmage advises him to
etick 10 his plow.

4 comparison OF letters received here
from various quarters OF Virginia indicate
that the principal objection there is to the
Democrats supporting Mr.. Massey for
congressman at large comes from the men
or friends OF men who want to be the
candidate themselves. and also that most
Of these would-bc candidates are men who
have heretofore been prominent IN the
politics OF The State but have been retired.
But the letters likewise show that ii Mr.
Massey be not the man and convention
be called to nominate a candidate, the
nominee will be a comparatively new man
like Judge Staples, Mr.. Holmes Conrad,
General W. ii. Payne, or some other man
OF that class who is not handicapped 10y

here thinks that as Mr.. John Wise Is the

Wade Hampton has written letter to

~ a candidate for Governor, expressing q
desire soon TO retire from public life, ana
saying:
II mistakes have been committed by tie
representatives OF our party, the people
hold i'm their own hands the absolute power
TO remedy Whatever evil has been done. No
error that has been committed by their
party can justify any man who has the in
terest OF the State at heart in deserving Its

fore, beyond expression 10 see dissatls-
faction in any quarter because OF
opposition to some Of the measures
adopted at the last session OF the
Legislature. Without rejecting in the
slightest degree upon either the wisdom or
the patriotism Of that body, | think that
their action in regard to the registration
law and the stock law was unfortunate, but
my opposition TO these laws is no reason
why | should desert the only party that
has given honest and good government to
the State since the war. My conception
OF Democracy Is that the majority should
rule, and those who oppose the measures
mentioned will have the opportunity
OF ascertaining at the next election on
which side the majority stands. Should
il be the popular will that these
laws should be repealed or modified,
the next Legislature can take action in that
direction. We may rest assured that no
redress Of any evil can be had by the
restoration of Radical rule, and in the pres
ent condition OF races and parties in the
State an Independent is. ii possible, worse
than q Radical for he is an enemy "who
steals the livery oi Heaven TO serve the
devil ill.," In the great fight We are making
to preserve the civilization OF our state he
who is not with Us Is against us, and no
speclous pretence OF love for the "dear
people" can hide the eleven foot.
Let me, therefore, as one who has had
every political aspiration more than graft
fed, and who seeks nothing save the pros
perity and welfare Of his state, urge Our
people most earnestly TO stand firm and 10
keep united. Let every lover OF his state
