EEimiAL NOTES.
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

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

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. ?

for some time. On Wednesday three E

Last week's political results have B
removed all doubt ia the miuds of | I
intelligent people that the election of ' B

thing according to their own faDcy.

The Boston Herald states that Gov.

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

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
