the Reformers, the latter viii be-
elected. The language of the. World
is. s'If Democrats adopt the Revenue:
Reform candidate, the House will,1
nevertheless, have a Republican,
Speaker The Revenue Reformerss
can't vote for Demohrat, nor even
allow the Democrats any voice in the
candidate they expect them to adopt"
The World thus concludes its artl-
Gle:


Democrats must respect the party
shackles of the revenue reformers.-
OF course, they cannot adopt the
revenue-reform candidate until they
know who he is; but if he is a fair
minded, liberal man, they should have
no hesitation in voting for him. Nor
should they afterwards be at all sx-r
acting in respect to places on the conn
mittees. It is better that the Repub--
lican Speaker should be faithful to his
party. Democrats have no interest
in breaking down and confoundineS
party lines; on the contrary, we wish
them TO remain broad and distinct
All that we can ask is the same rela--
tive weight of the committees that We
possess by our numbers in the Honse =
and to this we are entitled from any
Speaker, though elected by the pro-
tectionists. We might reasonably ash
that all the fiscal committees should
have a majority of reformers, and
that the committee on elections should
be composed of men of judicial tenn
per, who would decide every contest
ed case on its merits according to the
returns and the evidence. The pro-
tectionists are threatening to contest
the seats of some Democrstice
members, and we have right to de r
mand THAT the committee on elections
shall do justice between the claim
ants.


The Democrats will derive no other
advantage from tho new arrangement
than this: that the election Of q;
SPEAKER on purely free-trade grounds
and the noise and commotion it must
cause, will lift the free-trade question:
into overtopping prominence and
cause it to be discussed with unwons- 2
ed fervor. This will have two good
effects; first, in Withdrawing the pub
lie mind from defunct issues second
ly, In whetting curiosity to keen
edge respecting a reform which can,
fail only by apathy and Indifference
The revenue reformers have caused
quite ferment already, and if their
movement should culminate, as We
expect, III the election of free trade
Speaker in the next House, the
Presidential election will inevitably
turn upon that issue. The revenue
reform aurora, heralds the rising Of
the Democratic sun, 1t tempers the
light to weak eyes and prepares them
for the full efulgence of approaching
day.-Nobile Register.

The messages of our chief magis
trates, as they are given from year to
year, are mile stones, so to speak, in
the nations growth. Each exhibits
the material progress the nation has
made in the twelve-months just gone
over. Thus, the Presidents message
is necessarily more or less interesting
to the American reader, and the one
which has just been given to the pub
lie is no exception to the rule. But
we shall find no especial traces of
ability in the document; us a state
paper it is safe to say that many 9th
ers nave cxcelled it.


The Message manife-ts an OCCASION
al spasm of energy; in those portions
of it for instance, which refer to the
acquisition of San Domingo, the
fisheries question, and the navigation
of the ST Laurence. Of course no
one imagines that Grant had any hand
in the writing of the message, or in
its general design but at least his
inspiration Is plainly percertibIe in
the remarks on San Domingo. The
acquisition of that spec of tropical dirt
has long been known to be a hobby
of his. When the idea was in its
embryo state. it will be remembered
that he so forgot the dignity of his
official position as to buttonhole Con
gressmen for their influence in carry
ing through the scheme. But there
was about the latter so perceptibly the
odor of job, that it soon fell into
disrepute, popularity, and had the
effect to array against the President,
Senator Sumner, and other Republi-
can leaders. Considering all this, it
is somewhat remarkable that Grant
should have so warmly electioneered
the job, as he has in his message
On the subject of the fisheries, the
President, we imagine, represents the
average sentiment of the country
There is no doubt that the authorities
of the Canadian Dominion, have Ia
ken grounds against our fishermen,
which tFey cannot be permitted to
maintain; and this country will be
glad to hear the President say that,
should the authorities in question per-
| slst in exercising their untenable jn-
iisdiction over the vessels of the Uni
ted States, it will be his duty TO
take such steps as may be necessary
to protect t. rights of the citizens OF
the United States" And the deter
mination of the Pres d mt to firmly
protect the rights of our people in the
navigation of the st. Lawrence will
also meet with approval. These are'
perhaps, the salient points of his
message.


He describes the foreign relations
of the country, especially in connection
with the war in Europe; but no new
points are touched upon, if we except
the matter of the Alabama claims
Grant recommending to Congress "to
authorize the appointment of a COM
mission to take proof of the amounts
and the ownership of these claimes on
notice to the representatives of Her
Majesty, at Washington, and that
authority be given for the settlement
of these claims by the United States,
so that the Government shall have
the ownership of. the private claims
as well as the responsible control of
all demand against Great Britain"


With reference to the decline of
American commerce, he says that
several propositions will be laid before
Compress in the course of the present
session, looking to a remedy of the
evil.

Curing NEAT At this season of the
year the thoughts of almost every farmer
naturally turn more OF less to the process
of curing meat for the winters use. Mos.
farmers have pig or two to salt down.
and some have mutton or beef. and the
quality Of Tie meat which IS to furnish
food for the family will depend u good
deal on the way in which it is cured.


There are various modes Of curing meat
bat one Of the best, perhaps, is that suc-
-cstcd by the Germantoscn telegraph
which IS rs follows:


To one gallon OF water, take one and a
half pounds of salt. half 7oru! of sugar.
half IN ounce Of saltpetrc, half IN ounce of
potash. In this ratio the pickle TO be in
creased to any quantity desired. Let these
be boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar rises to the top AMI is skinned
of. Then throw it into tnb to cool, and
when cold, pour>it over your beef or pork,
to remain the usual time. say four or five
weeks. The meat must be we'll covered
with pickle, and sheuld nos be put down
for at least two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly sprinkled
with powdered sssssS~z, - Aiei,. re..sevss
all the surface blood. kaving the mea.
fresh and clean. Someiomit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well though
tho operation of boiling purifies the pickle
by throwing of the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar.

never be abandoned There is none that

About i've O'Clock last evening porter engaged

house ana stated that man had been found dead
In one of the bedrooms OF the house. From some
papers which had been found In the pockets OF the

stated to the police that 1t was believed the
dead mans name was DR.. Henry Marshal The porter
written BY the deceased previous to his death, and
which was addressed to the Coroner. This note on
being opened, was found to contain statement that
the cause OF the unfortunate mans death was con.
gestion Of the BRAIN and also an appeal to the Coro
not to have his dead body dssected. From these
facts it Ia supposed that Dr. Marshal f such be the
name OF the deceased must have committed suicide
probably by some secret means. The Coroner was
notified and an inquest will be held when, no doubt
