Scheming for 1883.
The well informed Washington eorrespon-
lent of the New York World, under date of
Nov. 22d, wrote:
Senator EImunds is thoroughly delighted
with the result OF tue late election. The rea-
sons for his delight are tworold. The first is
pleasure at Mr.. B.aine's defeat. The second
reason is that he believes that this defeat will
naturally make him the nominee of the Re-
publican party four years from now He
would not have made any appearance in the
asst campaign If he had not been actually
orced out by the party managers in his
tate. He presided at the Burin -lon meet
ng very much against his will, aud what he
laid there was SO feeble and half-hearted that
[ did more injury TO the Republican ticket
han If he had remained silent. In Vermont
PARTY lines are drawn very rigidly. Such a
thing as independence in politics is almost
unknown. So when Senator Elmunds prac-
,icaly refused 10 support the Republican
ticket it made a great stir in that state. GOV.

Republicans began TO talk about defeating

refusal to do anything has excited great aui-
mostly towards him in certain republican
ircles. A certain Vermont Republican,
speaking of Eimunds the other day. sad:

dence, have made an assignment. Liabili-
ties over s1,ee0,0eO, largely to the Provi-
dence banks. The firm operated two cot
ton mills in that city, two in Johnstown,
and one in Woonsocket, in all $1,000 spin
dies. Tie failure involves the suspension
of the Providence Steam Mill company, the
Groton Manufacturing company, and the
Franklin Manufacturing company. The
total Indebtedness of the firm is about ST.

An interesting illustration of how
centers of trade shifted by means of new
railways is furnished in a press dispatch
from San Francisco. Four months ago
three steamers a week could not carry
all the freight offered in San Francisco
for Oregon and Washington Territory,
while now n steamer every five days
is sufficient. The Northern Pacific is
taking goods direct from the East to Ore
gon and Washington Territory, which
formerly went by water to San Francis
co apd by water also from there to their
destination in the Northwest. The
Northwestern trade of San Fr ancisco is
said to have fallen off seventy-tve pei
