Tammany in the Next House.

Chairman Hilles, in felicitatlng ms
party on the election returns. points
out that if the Tammany members OF
the next House should go on strike
against the administration at any time
they could block administration poll
cies BY voting with the republicans
they could defeat measures desired and
urged by the White House.
Very true. But that is matter for
Tammany to decide. The republicans
could not afford to coddle Tammany for
votes for anything. They should shape
and put forward their measures on
their merits, and with regard to the
party's creed. leaving the Tammany
members to vote as they please. or un-
der influences from their own leader
ship. Any arrangement suggesting or
savoring of a deal between the repub-
licans and Tammany would be mis-
take on the part of the former. Not
only would such a thing discredit them
before the country, but any such meas
ure or measures put through the House
in that way would be defeated in the
Senate, where Tammany has no such
power.
There was a charge, which created
stir at the time, that Tammany, in the
latest House controlled by the repub-
licans. saved the so-called Cannon
rules. In a contest over certain fea-
lures of the rules in that body, certain
Tammany members did vote against
their party's propositions and helped
defeat them. But they did SO under the
leadership of Mr.. Fitzgerald. not. n
Tammany man, and confessedly the
best parliamentarian on the democratic
side of the chamber, and without any
terms with Mr.. Cannon or his lieuten-
ants.
Moreover. their action then has since,
in effect, been indorsed by their party.
Cannonism was succeeded by Under
woodism. and that in turn will be sue
ceeded by Kitchinism. And Mr.. FitZ-
gerald, who led the bolt, is now chair
man of the most powerful committee
in the House.
But the administration will not give
Tammany an excuse for showing ugli-
ness in the next House. All that Tam
many will ask, like the sailor who had
shipped with a severe skipper, is "ci-
Witty, and that of the dashest COM
monest kind; and the organization
will receive that. Tammany does not
want to get ugly, and the administra-
ton does not intend to provoke it. The
President is showing great aptitude for
practical politics, and, il not fond
ness for, an ability to work with, prac-
tical politicians. In the recent cam
paign herwas in alliance with Mr.. Muir
ply in New York. Mr.. Sullivan in Illi-
nois and Mr.. Taggart in Indiana-three
men who play the game according to
machine rules. ...

success, at home or in Congress, it's

Though apparently no great anxiety

of the federal adminis-

D.l the outcome of the pres
idential election in 1864.
Washington followed the returns on
the night of November S with the
keenest interest. In The Star of the
next day. November 9, 1854. is an ac-
count of how the people of this city re-
received the tidings of the balloting.
What with the rain, fog and mud.
the streets of Washington last night
were not adapted for pedestrian pur-
poses. but that made no difference.
Almost before the gas was lit people
with umbrellas and rolled-up trousers
began to scoot about in quest of cleo
ton news. and about s o'clock, when
the early returns began to come in,
the bobbing about of umbrellas here
ana there to clubrooms and hotels was
furious. And we have no doubt that
the rain and umbrellas averted many a
row, for no man can fight well holding
a spread umbrella, and by the time he
shuts 1t and loops it UP his angry pas
sfons have had time to simmer down.
especially If it Is raining hard. The
main rallying points of the night were

and the Democratic Association rooms.

there was an immense throng, the

the reading of which gave rise to tre-
mendous applause. Various fragmen-
tary but encouraging returns from the
hospitals and military returns about
Washington began to come in. and
their reading added to the enthusiasm.
The chair announced that to pay the
expenses of telegraphing, etc, about
5000 was needed. and a collection was
taken up. but it did not yield the de-
sired sum. 1t was announced that Mr..
G.. H. Plant had just returned from
Baltimore and the impression was that
Lincoln had received from 1900 to
$4,000 majority in the city. Tremen-
dous cheering greeted this announce
were perfectly frantic, cheering lusti-
ly and calling on the president to pass
around that hat again."
The returns came in slowly during
the night, but before the gathering at
the republican headquarters went home
prevalent that Lincoln had won. AT
the democratic headquarters there was
but little to keep the crowd en.nusias-
tic, various speakers occupying the
time and assuring their hearers that
the republican news was manufactured
and that Mcclellan was winning easily
By 10 o'clock, however, the impression
prevailed that Mcclellan was beaten.

Office of the United States forest serv-
ice from the Florida
The War Affects national forest, where
o. the principal indus
NAVAL oto1os' try is the production
of turpentine and rosin. states that the
European war has knocked the bottom
completely out of the naval stores busi-
ness in that forest. This report states
that Europe takes about so per cent of
the naval stores-turpentine and rosin
produced in this country, and that
because there is now no demand for
turpentine from the belligerent coun-
tries, the turpentine operators who are
tapping the trees there under gov
ernment contract and regulation have
applied for time extensions on their
contracts. These extensions will be
granted, because the present condi-
tions are exceptional and wholly oe-
yond the control of the operators.
southern states, furnishes large part
of the turpentine and rosfn when are
used in the manufacture of the worlds s
supply of paints and Wood-nnlshlng
oils. Naval stores constitute one or the
three major products of the state, the
other two being lumber and phosphate.
The boats which have carried most
of the exports OF these prodncts
to foreign countries are HOW SWlu6li6
idly at their piers and, according to re-
ports which have come to the United
States forest service, there is little
prospect that trade can be reopened be-
fore tho end of the war, unless new
markets are discovered.
The loss to the naval stores business
through the war is considerable. Aus
tria. Belgium. Germany, Italy. Russia
and the United Kingdom take from
this country rosin worth $7,6OO, 200 ana
turpentine worth $4.700,000-a total OF
$12,3OO,OOO. The larger part OF this
trade has been lost because the people
of Germany alone purchase $4,s0O.0oO
worth, and commerce with Germany IL
said to be almost wholly shut Off.
France, being a producer and exporter
of naval stores, does not take much of
the United States product, and it Is the
only one of the countries at war which
does not directly affect the turpentine
market.
The latest figures on the total pro-
duction of rosin give in round numbers
100000 barrels, valued at $18,25O.0O0.
The same figures give the total produc-
tion of turpentine as 27.750.00O gallons,
valued at s17.6S0,000.
A comparison of the figures of total
production with those of exports TO
the countries now engaged in war
shows that by far the greater pro-
portion of all naval stores produced
has been going to them. In other
words, the turpentine industry will

Gen. Sherman having taken Atlanta,
there was great curiosity in the north
as to his next move. Sug-
Sherman's gestions had been made
that he would perhaps
11ans' strike out from that point
to cut across the Confederate lines OF
communication, but his exact plan
was naturally not matter of public
information. In The Star of November
IL, 1864, is the following item which
shows that although this paper was
exceptionally we'll informed regarding
civil war moves it was at loss in
preiudeing the Atlanta to-the-sea
campaign:
I'VE deem it not proper at this time
to state that Gen. Sherman's army has
been heavily reinforced and otherwise
strengthened, especially in the arm
of cavalry, all his dismounted men hav-
ing been remounted. The force (two
corps) under Gen. Thomas. now in
Hoods front, has also been satlsfac-
torily reinforced and strengthened, ana
it is amply sufficient to insure ina.
Hood can do no damage to speak os

Grating with his other five corps in
different bodies in Hoods rear, ana is
already between him and any possible
line of retreat south when he sees the
necessity of SO doing. which. we appre-
hend. will not be long hence. The
direction of the marching of all the
five corps with which sherman has
thrown himself upon Hoods line of
communications leads to the conviction
that he aims also to take Selma and
Montgomery, If not march on in the
same direction to Mobile. From the
facts we state above the public will
see how much reliance is to be placed
in the story of Sherman's advance on
