GEN. BUTLER has decided to run for
the Presidency. He writes the editor of
the New York Sun as follows: "As a
means of reaching more querists than
can do in any other way, | write you this
note for such use as you choose to make
of it. answer that | do intend to stand
by the nominations of the Greenback and
laboring men and anti-monopolists, and
hope everybody will vote for me who
thinks that is the best thing to do. L
will give reasons for my action which
are controlling to the public as soon as |
can have the benefit of Cleveland's letter
of acceptance, so that wherein disagree
with him | may do him no injustice"
The effect of his decision will be still
further to complicate the situation. The
votes cast for HIM will come largely from
the Democrats. and thus Offset the loss
the Republicans will suffer because of
the prohibition nomination; for the votes
for the prohibition candidates will be
cast for the most part by those who have
been Republicans hitherto. Except for
this, Buffers acceptance is not of great
consequence.

The merchants of Burlington complain
the license fee for travelling auctioneers
at too low figure. Doubtless they
complain with good reason. These sales
men, in majority of instances, are a
damage to any community they visit.
Neither the people who buy of them nor
the business men of the place are ben
Gifted. The goods sold may not be as
represented, or, if they are, could be
bought just as low of the regular dealers.
The material which enters into the man
ufacture of any article of whatever sort
is worth certain sum, and the cost of
manufacture is another certain amount.
These amounts, together with the deal
er's percentage of profit, represent the
sum which the buyer should expect to
pay. If he is offered the article at a
much less price, the probability is that
either the material or the workmanship
is poor. 1t is scarcely to be expected
that the dealers expenses and consequent
percentage will be smaller when he car
ries his goods about the country and hires
rooms for short periods at high rent
than when he owns his store or rents it
by the year and freights his goods only
from market to the place where he sells
them. 1t is therefore extremely improb-
able that the travelling auctiOneer can
sell exactly as good articles at a lower
rate than the established merchant An
other thing it is worth something to
know that if what is bought proves
worthless there is some one responsible
for the cheat. When the fraud is discOv
cred the aucliOneer may be miles away
and the defrauded has only the poor sat
isfaction of knowing that the goods were
really cheap. Those who buy of theil
home merchants are, on the contrary, al
most certain to get their moneys worth
Besides, they help to build up the town
for the successful merchant sooner OIL
later erects good store, if he hasn't ont
already, and thus improves the appear
ance of the town, increases its desirable
ity as place of residence and enhances
the value of property.

MURAT IIALSTEAD. editor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, very neatly charac-
terizes the so-called independents. He
says
There is more literary than political
ability among those who are seeking SUI
pernatural moral elevation. There are
several exalted leaders, all ambitious and
exalted men, and but few followers, and
those chiefly young men of the fantastic
type. They are appealed to as pure and
spotless beings and are anxious to show
that they should be so classified. The
Democratic revolt is far more serious
affair.

WHO are the candidates of the Rcpub-
lican party? James G. Blaine, born IN a
log cabin, educated in q common school,
then a school teacher, then an editor
then member of the legislature, then
elected to Congress, finally raised to the
dignity of speaker of the House. then Il
member of the cabinet of President Gar
field. Such record is one to be proud
of, and this was what the school house
has done for him. Who was John A.
Logan? The son of an lrishman, born
in log cabin, student in a college, then
IA schoolmaster, then member of the
legislature, then member of Congress.
When the war broke out, he voluntarily
resigned his position in Congress, should
cred a muskct and became "A volunteer.
The above is from the report of cam
paign speech delivered at West Rutland
the other night; the Italics are ours. 1t
strikes us that altogether too much ink
and wind are expended by writers of
campaign biographies and by campaign
orators in picturing the early poverty of
the nominees that the log cabin business
has been overwolkcd. Both Republicans
and Democrats have done it, and now we
find that st. John, the prohibitonist can
didate. obtained the rudiments of his cdu-
cation in IA log school-hOuse.' 1t is
difficult to see wherein the several can
didates are entitled to special credit for
having attained to eminence from these
unpromising surroundings. In all prob
ability had they been the sons of wealthy
parents and provided with the best of
schools, they would not now occupy the
high positions they hold. 1t is not iD-
| frequently the case that the sons of eX-
ceptionally able men amount to nothing
We suspect the cause of the sons worth
! lessness is due not so much to lack of
native ability as to the absence of incen-
tive to eXertion. The son of the poor
man has every motive to make the best
of his opportunities, to improve his time
at school and college and aftcrward to
put to practical use what he has learned
The rich young man. on the other hand
feels that he does not need to exert him
self; and at the end of his school days he
has acquired but little of value and nc
end of useless ideas. He has at the out
set position in society, money and every
thing that the poor young man has not
but hopes sometime to possess. Accord
ingly there is nothing to spur him OF
to the continuous toll necessary to dis
tinction in any of the professions or u
the hard work and close application tina
bring business success. Energy, persist
ence, a strong body and healthy mine
are as often the inheritance of the poo
boy as of the rich one. These, added t
surroundings which prompt to effort tina
they may be bettered, are quite as likely
to produce one who may become prom
inent in church or state as are til,
same qualities of mind and body with
out any particular necessity for theil
employment. In this view of tn
matter there is deal of nonsense in tn
constant reference to the early trials o
those who come up for office, since in tn
majority of cases the trials thcmselve
were the making of the men.

SUICIDE OF Proc. GRrER.
o. Lac UnirersItH at LewIsburg. e

LEwIsBURG, Oct, 28.-Lewisburg was
shocked yesterday to learn that Prof. W.
T. Grier, of the Lewisburg University,
had committed suicide during the night.
He had been sick with typhoid fever for
a few days. On Sunday a number Of Wis
itors called and overtaxed the patients
strength, so that when night came he
was much worse. In the even
ing he asked for his pcnknife to
trim his nails, which was given him.
Later in the night ne asked his wife for
some milk, and when brought he received
it in d somewhat gruf and savage man
ner. This alarmed his wife who called
up some Of the professors. Upon return
ing to the room her husband was found
lying across the bed and covered
with blood. During his wife's absence
he had cut gashes with the knife on both
sides of the neck and across the aldo
men and had then plunged the knife into
the left breast, O7er the heart, where it
remained when the watchers came in. 1t
is thought he was temporarily insane.
Prof Grier, although but thirty.f0ur
years Of age, had for nearly ten years
been engaged as a teacher in the uniVer-
sity. lie was the occupant at the tine
of his death Of the Latin chair. He was
man of exceptionally high moral char
acter. Heleaves wife and two children.

ENGLAND,s NEW VOTERS.

Two Million 1Ien to be Enfranchised-
Radical Cry Down With the Lords.
LONDON, Oct. 2G.-The Liberals are
showing a disposition to rush the import
ant measure of the franchise through as
rapidly as possible, and will not delay it
by speechmaking. 1t passed its first
reading Friday night without a division,
and on next Thursday comes up for its
second reading. The action Of the House
of Lords on the bill is still in some doubt
The Conservatives are not a unit in ac-
cepting the Marquis of Salisbury policy
of resistance 0utrGnc6 to the passage of
the Franchise bill The Duke of Rich
mond for one opposes it, and is conduct
ing private negotiations with the Liberal
leaders with view to obtaining the best
terms possible for a compromise. The
basis suggested is the postponement
of the Franchise bill until 1865.
The bill establishes a uniform house
hold and lodger franchise throughout the
kingdom, and, according to Mr. Glad
stone, will increase the voting power of
the kingdom about 1900, 900, viz, T.,
800, eco in England and Wales. 400, 900 in
Ireland and 300, 600 in Scotland. The
total vote in the United Kingdom is at
present about 8, $50, 000 Under the pro.
posed law it will be about 5, $50, 600, in a
population Of 81, ST., 800.
Depressed Condition of Trade.
The motion of Lord Dunraven for the
appointment Of joint commission from
the Houses Of Lords and Commons to in
quire into the cause Of the depressed con
dillon of trade and agriculture, receives
the support of the Tories.
Down With the House of Lords.
A monster Radical demonstration in
favor of the abolition Of the House OF
Lords was held in Hyde Park today.
Over one hundred THOUSAND persons
were present, long procession, with
bands, flags, etc, marched through the
principal Streets. The marchers groaned
while passing the headquarters of the
various conservative clubs at the West
End Many banners were displayed,
bearing such inscriptions as Down with
the Lords :" and "rhe Lords are Oppo,
nents Of Civil and Religious Liberty, and
Must be Abolished !"
Speeches were delivered from nine
platforms Miss Jessie Craigcn, we'll
known agitator, presided at one of the
platforms. Resolutions were passed de.
caring that the House of Lords is useless
and dangerous and ought to be abolished
No speeches were made by members Of
the House of Commons.

The Latest Indications of Settlement OF
the Trouble.

LONDON, Oct 27.-The recent official
correspondence relating to Egyptian af-
fairs has been made public The letter
of instructions from the Government to
General Lord Wolseley stated that the
object OF the expedition was to bring
Gen. Gordon and Col Stewart back from
Khar;oum. No further offensive OPP
erations than should prove necessary
to secure this end would be
permitted. Neither the English nor the
Egyptian Government was prepared to
assume the responsibility Of the govern
ment OF the Nile Valley beyond Woody
Holfa, though they would be glad to see
an dependent government established at
hhartoum which would keep peace with
Egypt, would encourage commerce and
prevent the slave trade. When it was
known that General Gordon had sent
Col. Stewart to burn Burber, the Gov
eminent directed Major Kitchener to
send counter orders to Col. Stewart.
In letter dated April 22d General Cor.
don writes that he has offered freedom
and pay to slaves who desert Mahdi.
This policy he hopes will sound
the doom of slavery in the Soudan, He
declares that if Shendy is captured by the
rebels it will be due to the government s
failure to send Zebehr Pasha to him. He
expresses the hope that for the sake Of the
honor of England, the Abyssinians have
not been engaged to fight England
battles.
