The Democratic victory in New Jersey brings its share of gratifica- , tion in the present and hopefulness j in the future. Gov. Abbett'e major- i ity is sufficient to promise that the State will remain in the Democratic /tnlnmn in 4-Via P?oo?/?AnKa] A/infnof VVIUUIU AU IUU JL ICOIUDUVIOI WUIigOV. I It is well to know that in no single debatable State have the Repuljifcans achieved success, but that thejr tri? umpbs are confined to jnst recovering such confirmed Republican States as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Nine bales of cotton, averaging 400 pounds, raised in Spanish Honduras, were received in New Orleans last week. This is the first shipment of cotton from that country to the United States, and it is said it was raised on 5 acres of land and onethird of the crop was lost for want of labor to pick it. This would make ^>out two 500 pound bales to the acre, which is a little nhead of this year, which hardly produced a bale to five acres; . In every country of Europe there is some great want to be met. There is a spirit of discontent all over the j j continent. In England home rnle is the great demand; in Germany, freedom from military doty, and reli- | gious liberty; in Russia, exemption , from untold oppression; and in France and Spain there are several conflicting political parties, each with 1 its own special tenets. Revolution 1 will at last prove the great pnrifier. 1 It won't always do to know more in one's own conceit than seven men * who can give a reason. Four yoong ' men -were so anxious to go duck * hunting the other day at Erie, Pa., Ma that they put ont on the lake in a * j^^small boat in spite of the signal ser- a Bttrice warning. They were overtaken 6 BfiBfe the gale, their boat capsized and BHHBBRgHBHMtatotiation J exk coming independent, too many yonng men spend tbeir time in learning how to live without work. They > fail, of course, and in time come to be dead beat beggars, or something worsa The Memphis Avalanche says that i a census of Southern editors shows 2 captains, 17 majors, 7 generals, and 1,826 colonels. There are no privates except the editor of the Lex- j ington Dispatch. In some parts of the North would it not be better to put the political offices up to the highest bidder at once, and save the demoralizing influence of wholesale bribery on the mass of voters. ? Massachusetts has announced officially that she has had enough of Ben Butler. The Tewksbury tanyard can now resume business under caltured auspices. IBilliffl 1 Boss j repre- ffl Heating th^substsnce, the moral I E^fcrorth and the integrity of the com- .H J^Emunity at large. Y Chattanooga furnishes the first trip- E pie wedding that has been announced 9 for some time. On Wednesday three E sisters named McClure were married H at the sutue church by the same min- E isier, and were united by one cere- E mony. The three couples then left H on a bridal tour together. B Last week's political results have B removed all doubt ia the miuds of | I intelligent people that the election of ' B ^ i-t [ 1884 will not be a boiioay iesuvai ior i the Democrats. In that straggle i they are Dot going to have every- j thing according to their own faDcy. President Arthur is said to be very much cast down by the disaster which overtook his political partner, Ma- j hone, in Virginia; bat his tailor is making him two new pairs of trousers, and if they fit nicely his mental / ^depression will soon pass away. , The Boston Herald states that Gov. Ben Butler has announced that, although defeated at the present election, he will ran again for Gover- I nor next fall. The compliment of 150,000 votes leads him to believe he will be successful. Instead of learning a trade and be General News. "Spoons" Butler bad his hide well tanned Tuesday of last week. When will poor humanity learn that the spirit of anger leads only to evil? Bismarck believes in astrology and has predicted the day and hour of his death. The generous give according to their means, the stingy according to their stinginess. Washington City milkmen are not allowed to nse bells as they disturb the sleep of the policemen. New York is still a Democratic State. It stands shoalder to shoulder with Ohio and Indiana. Mahone has given directions to make his. thanksgiving turkey small and leave out all the stuffing. A postmistress in Ohio has resigned to take a husband. There is great indignation in the State. The political slogan at the North is no longer "vote as you bought," but now is "vote as you are bought." W. F. Sutton, a Scotchman, is the champion long distance bicyclist of the world. He rode 259 miles in one day. A new kind of cotton resembling wool is reported at Tuskeger, Ala., which brings 30 cents per pcinnd and is quite prolific. Several prominent Presidential candidates were inocked out of the way by the ballot box bombardment on ruesday of last week. South Carolina is the only Southern State that shows a smaller assessment n 1883 than in 1879. The decrease 8 two million dollars. The Duke of Cambridge, the British rnonrlci?_!fVi Intro a rtavf ^VtUUiaUUOi-IH-VUlOl, bUIUftD UJU jreat European war will be between Russia and Germany.

Two ears' Congressional salary "gone j rbere the woodbine twineth." There are two cats in the Crystal 'alace exhibit in London valned at 50,000 each. It is not stated what ind of voices they have for a sereade.

He was so expert at windling that the l8Qndrymen probably thonght he'd be a good hand or them. Will the civil rights colored people ?ave the meekness and submission to lay: "The Republican party giveth md the Republican party hath taken iway. Blessed be the Republican )arty ?" When a dude shows up in Milwaukee, they claim to suspect him of oeing a woman in disguise. This is followed by arrest and so much trouble that he lets dudeism alone thereafter. A justice of the peace in New York State has resigned because he sen-, fenced a sheep thief to be hung, and the sentence was reversed. He is as noble a specimen of self respect as Roscoe Conkling. ~ ' i-iu:.?? The Democrats swept i>uicagu vj 3,000 majority last Taesday, capturing the Judgeship and four Commissioners. The Republicans there admit a terrible defeat that dims the j fragmentary gains elsewhere. Gen. Robert Toombs, who has long been recognized as the most accomplished, ornate and vigorous swearer in the United States, has repented and was recently received into the Methodist Church at Washington, Ga. Rev. J. G. Polland, until a few weeks since presiding older of the Methodist Episcopal Church North, iu Arkansas, has created a sensation by marrying a colored girl named Eliza Millahey. He was divorced from his second wife a month ago. At Statesville, N. C., on the 8th, Deputy Sheriff Wilson, while attempting to collect taxes from William Pope, bad a difficulty, in which the latter was shot and killed instantly. | The Sheriff, says the shooting was ; done in self-defense, Pope having ! attempted to kill him with a lence ' rail. Two young colored children were : burnt lo death in an outhouse at Due ; West on last Thursday. They were | entirely consumed. Their bodies : conld not be distinguished among the coals and cinders of the cabin. The mother had left the unfortunate j children shot op in the bouse when i she went off to work for a time. f x - i , Washington Letter. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) November, 9th, 18S3. The announcement is made that the United States Steamer Trenton leaves this morning for Newport having on board a jovial party consisting I of Secretary Lincoln, Secretary Chandler, Postmaster-General Gresham, Commander Walker, and others. As it is about the middle of November it. is to be hoped that this is the j last junketing expedition of the season, and that the pleasnres of winter . life in Washington will be sufficient ( to keep the President and his Cabinet j in some sort of official connection f J with the government for the rest of il. tl 11 1 me year, it is asiooisuiDg, Dy me way, to what proportions the shame- * less practice of absenteeism has reached under the present administra- 1 tion. The President was away the better part of three months. The c Secretary of State visits Washington ' so seldom that be is practically a * stranger here. Attorney General ^ Brewster has not spent three days in 8 Washington since last May, Secretary ^ Chandler has passed . the summer 0 cruising up and down the coast; per- " haps he has been looking for our $ navy, to take it in out of the wet, but 1 L he bas-certainly paid little attention to the Navy Department. Secretary v Lincojn accompanied the President ? out West, and has made weekly trips ^ away dnriug the remainder of the season. And now Postmaster-Gen- a] eral Gresham though scarcely warm S in his office is away to Newport for a " dash at fashionable folly. 113 1 do not know but the ship of State flounders on about as well with- ^ out inefficient officers as with them, Bl that they prostitute their offices and 111 waste the tnoney the people pay for m their services seems bad enough, but ^ the worst feature of it all is the way P* it is done. Here is a government ^ vessel for instance maintained for a certain purpose. Without authority ^ or sanction these officials transfer it M to other uses; run it at the public ac expense for their own pleasure. : - Private cars or railway trains are Ss placed at their disposal by obseqnions ^ companies who receive their reward ^ through advantageous fc^islation or asome sort of subsidy. For instance, m' 3uch as Assistant P. M. General Elmer illowed to the Pennsylvania Co. for ^i i supposed increase in the weight of nails carried by them, donating about a $50,000 a year to them without even ^a >eing solicited to do so. This will >ay for many private cars and passes, ! ind is an example of how it is done. j ^ 1 The breaking up the coalition in j Virginia i9 the most substantial i ictory-the Democrats have gained j ny his fall. The resist of the elections 1 Ch f>/_ ^mnarativelT U v tas been gained by the Democrats as a j P6' >ermanency; New York is sure for the I W( democrats in the Presidential cam- an ?ign no matter how local questions r*< nay vary the majorities in off years, >nt the division which has existed in Ca Virginia, and given the Republicans W ;wo Senators, through a political tw movement which divided the Demo- da jrats against themselves, was a great riv loss and menace to the autonomy of les the party. To have recovered from nr it and to sweep away the power of vil Mahone is to defeat ^prever the bii attempts of a Republican administration to buy over a part of the Demo- dj cratic church South. w? It should be more generally known St that Washington harbors a multitude Ri of claim agents who live by victimizing Ti ex soldiers and their heirs. ri The order of the Commissioner of re pensions disbarring some of these agents from practice is only a partial S< remedy. It was the intention of the ^ authorities to prosecute some of the a agents, but the pension office is not al able nnder the restrictions of the law, p to give any help in this direction, so a. I suppose the cases will be abandoned ? for want of sufficient proof againBtthe j swindlers. The only thing seems to ; C be to warn tbe public against them I through the press. All of the officials a unite in recommendations to Congress a to make the laws more strict, but it I is a very difficult matter to provide b oorninst the follv of fools. The govern- n - -r ? J meat however should punish these | I men; they have the evidence against | them in their hands, and should go j I to the trouble and expense of convict- | t j iog them. If a few were sent to the j i penitentiary it wonld end the confi- ! c ; dence games played in the name of ; fi j the government. ? ! The railroad depots at Washington 1 j these days remind one of the rush of j 1 ; travel to a summer resort in the first j t days of hot weather. Crowds of peo- j 1 pie are arriving by every train. D. ! ( I A pamphlet by a German officer, ; ' j entitled "France's Preparedness for 1 ' | War," is much talked about just now j i j at Berlin. The author, who was a j * *L- '-A- ~??i/nnrnu nf tllft i ! witness 01 me imo mauu,ui? ?? , j French army, states that, in the event j ! of war, Frauce would be able to place j ' in the field 199,000 more infantry j j and 594 more guns than Germany, j ] but that the officers aud men are not j ' ro w^jll trained as those of the Ger- | mau array, and that tho constant ' changes in the direction oi the War j j Office in Paris have produced some i 1 confusion in the administration. The ! I French Generals are also, in the ; | writer's opinion, decidedly iuferior to j those of Germany as strategists and 1 3 taeticiaua. 1 i If you own a horse you should not 1 ha without Kendall's Treatise on the j the Horse.
