BLAINE ON BUTLER.

Mr.. BLAINE's prediction that if BEN
+. BUTLER achieves a second time the
GovernOrship of Massachusetts he will
be nominated for the Presidency by the
Democrats and elected, may be in
tended as q roundabout method to sug-
gest that Massachusetts will have
had enough of his Gubernatorial
services ut the close of his present
term OF office. And yet Governor
BUTLER, in his Democratic way, has
done well for the Commonwealth,
however much the Republicans may
chafe and squirm under his Chief Mag
istracy. He would make an interesting
candidate for the Presidency; but it can
hardly be said that at the present time
tie Democracy cast longing eyes in
that direction or propose to secure his
nomination by reclamation.

ONO AND NEW YORK.

Judge FCRAHER's appeal to the OHIO
Republicans is based on the plea that if
they lose the State this year ALLEGIANCE
of electing Republican President in
1854 will be destroyed. State issues are
Of no importance. The people Of OHIO
may besruled by fanaticisms, and de-
prived of their rights by oppressive
local laws, but if they want to continue
to hold pOstoffices, custom house posi-
lions, internal revenue cOllectOrships,
and the like, they must vote for FOR
AKER.
Many Republicans will pay no atteu-
ton to FORAKER's appeal, because they
believe it will be well to allow their
party to retire from power and suffer
the Government to undergo thorough
house cleaning. They can from their
very position appreciate the wrong do
ings Of their political friends. They can
understand the cant and hypocrisy Of
49, HAYES Administration. They
knew JOHN SHERMAN when he went
TO Congress poor man, and they know
him now that he returns from the
Craftsmanship of Appropriation Com
mittees and from the Treasury Depart
ment millionaire. They are likely to
vote against FORAKER for the very rea-
son he advances as an inducement for
their support.
II Is true that Republican defeat in
its stronghold this year will almost fore
close the Presidential election. 1.-THE
Republicans lose the Governor Of Ohio
now, says q New York eotemporary,
they will not even hope to carry the
State for their Presidential ticket in
1854 Ohio is, therefore, necessity to
Republicanism this year, as New York
is TO Democracy. Both States stand in
the same relation to the Presidential
contest Of next year, only on different
sides. Republican defeat in Ohio would
| be fatal to that party. Democratic 4
. feat In New York would be almost fatal
10 the Democracy.
Fortunately the New York Demo
Gratis are in better position than the
Ohio Republicans. They have their
fate in their own hands. A thorough
union Of the party in the State Conyen-
zion assures victory this year, IS it as
sured vic cry last year. There is moth
ng to prevent such union, or rather to
destroy the union cemented last year.
Dnly folly amounting to insanity could
Attempt il. Only reeklessness amount
ng to eriminality could permit it. Bat
Ohio and elsewhere r 'publicanism
broken and divided through its own
nisdolDgs. The honest portion of the
ariy knows that 1t has merited defeat
nd that the best interests Of tie cOun-
y demand change"

Mr.. MALONE, Of Virginia, . gentle
man whom we have mentioned In pre-
vious issues Of THE REGISTER, propos-
e., it Is freely stated, to become ma
tional boss Of very positive proportions.
His scheme is said to consist in making
himself the balance of power. The "se-
curely" Republican States will cast l4s
electoral votes, the securely" Demo-
cratic States lS9 votes. The Republic
cans are then to carry Colorado, Con-
neetieut, Indiana and Ohio, which
would give them one less than major
ity. The Democrats are to carry Ne
vada, North Carolina and New York,
which would, with Virginia, give them
Just enough votes to elect.
In this way the Virginia triekster
hops to make Virginia the pivotal
State Now what does he propose to
do? He proposes to run and elect an
independent ticket in Virginis-a tick
ct that is neither Democratic nor Re-
publican, AID that is wholly uDple1ged,
a ticket made up of men free to vote in
the electoral college for any body that
suits them. Let US suppose that the
scheme of the willy Senator passes
safely through the perils Of the cam
paign and election day, and that the
other States go as he has assigned them,
MALONE could then elect either candi-
date, or he could throw the election into
the House. This is the option he is
seeking; and no one believes that if ne
secures it he would let it go for one cent
less than its full commercial value. He
would with such sn option in hand, be
our Warwick, and he would be sure to
demand better terms than any War
wick ever did, for he hes fewer scruples
Of conscience and more ambition to
the square inch than any Of his prede-
cessors in this line of business. What
lie would demand in the way of patron
age and in the way of influence in ma
tisnal affairs, no one can say, but it
would certainly be- dark day for the
republic when such a demagogue be-
comes president-mAker.

Frosfs and the Corn.
NJ ~ I'LL


Recent frosts have undoubtedly in
jured the corn crop in the extreme
Northern localities in which it is plant
ed but before any one sells his property
or mortgages his wages to get money
with which to Operate" in corn through
brokers in the Produce Exchanges he
should try to realize that by far the
greater part of the corn in the Union is
Fellow the limits Of the late frost. That
which has been injured reduces the esti-
mates of the general crop, OF course,
and to those who own it the results
may be grave, particularly where corn
happens TO be a farmers only
crop; but the frost has not
yet done anything to justify the
expectation that corn will this year
reach Unprecedented prices. Were
every ear Of corn in Michigan and Wis
consin ruined by frost the loss would be
but about three per cent of the entire
crop OF the country.

themselves to maintain certain

first, toward compelling their members

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
Gen. SIocum. of the Shipping Committee,
HOpeful of IFS Resforation

IkGStOEaIIOn.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Gen. Slocum.
of New York, who has been made Chair
man Of the new Select Committee on
American Shipbuildng and Shipowning,
has long been interested in the revival
of American shipping. He is in favor
Of allowing shipowners to purchase
vessels wherever they can get them
cheapest, and of admitting such vessels
to American register when purchased.
He is opposed to giving direct subsidies
to vessel owners as a means to the .resto-
ration Of the American merchant marine
to its former Importance, but is in favor
of removing some Of the burdens which,
under the operation of the present ship
ping laws Of the United States, rest upon
the American shipping industry. He said
to an Associated Press reporter tonight
that he thought that this Congress would
do something towards reviving the ship
ping industry, but until he had become ac-
quainted with the gentlemen who were to
be his colleagues on the committee he did
not care to venture an opinion as to which
Of the plans proposed would be adopted
by the committee. For himself, he said
he was in favor of free ships, and he
thought that a majority of the House of
Representatives would vote for free ships
if the question were presented. He did
not think it possible to build up the
American merchant marine if American
shipOwners were to be compelled
in the future, as at present, to pay 40
per cent. more for their vessels than for
eign shipowners, hence he was willing to
allow the American owner to purchase
his vessels in the best market. In order
to encourage American shipbuilding he
thought the builderin the United States
should be allowed the use of free material
by giving him a rebate of duties paid on
materials imported and used in the con-
structiOn of vessels for the foreign trade.
He inclined to the opinion that with equal
" cheap material the American shipbuild-
er could successfully compete with the
ship builders on the Clyde, the increased
cost of labor in this country being Offset
by the greater skill of American me-
chanics. He said that several bills had
already been introduced i'll this Congress
embodying the features of the bill re-
ported in the last Congress from the
Special Committee on Shipping. One of
these, which proposed to remove certain
burdens upon American shipping, such
as three months pay to discharged sea-
men, the obligation to carry American
mates and the provisions of the law re-
quiring the payment of various fees to
port officers. he thought would meet with
no opposition; but of the others he could
not speak with any assurance.

The Same Old Devil.

At the dinner of the New England So
ciety, in New York, on Saturday, George
William Curtis related the following anec-
dote: 81 remember many years ago,
when | was one of group of young
writer's upon the Tribune, and Mr.. Gree
ley was an ardent temperance reformer,
that IA vigorous article appeared one
morning urging young men to avoid the
tempter in whatever form he might ap-
pear, whether as punch or bitters, as
sherry or Madeira, as hook or claret, as
Heldsieck or champagne. The young
writers, who were not ardent temperance
reformers, greeted Mr.. Greeley uproari-
ously when he appeared at the office, and
with infinite glee pointed out to him that
Heidsieck was not a different wine, but
only particular brand of champagne.
AS the laugh rang round the room, Mr..
Greeley, who, as his opponents usually
found, was quite able to hold his own.
leaned with his shoulder against the wall,
locking benignly at the laughing chorus,
and when it became quiet he said, wal,
boys, / guess Pm the only man in this
office that could have made that mistake,' ,
and then added, 1T don't matter what you
call him, champagne, or Heidsieck, or alb
sinthe, he's the same old DEVIL"

a Courageous woman.

The bravest woman in the world lives
in Hartford. She is not yet twenty years
Of age and has immOrtalized herself by
her courage. She has shown it in tackling,
single-handed and alone, and capturing
the ferocious mouse. While the other la
dies Of the household ran screaming away
from the animal and found safety only in
mounting the chairs and tables, our
heroine, with unblauched cheeks, gTalks
into the pantry where the vicious beast is
lurking behind the pans or dishes, and,
regardless of her personal safety, begins
the hunt by Tattling the tinware. In a
moment the mouse is scampering along
the shelves, spurred up to its utmost
activity by the hands OF the
plucky girl, who is determined to
capture the animal alive. A live
mouse in wOman's hands. Can
You realize the courage it requires for q
woman 10 handle live mouse: A little
cry Of delight and the victory is won. The
girl comes out of the pantry with a smil-
ing face and cheeks rosy with the excite
ment of the chase. She goes into the sit
ting room holding the prize in her hand,
the little fellow struggling to get away.
The ladies, still perched on the chairs and
table, set up a chorus of screams, much to
the delight of the brave young lady, who
sometimes varies the sport by letting the
captive loose on the table or floor. The
scene that follows, if it could be repro
duced on the stage of a theatre, would
make fortune for the manager.
This girl has got a stick with twenty
nine nOtches upon it, each notch repre-
senting a mouse caught by her own hands.
