Ccrreipondonco Loui.ville Courier-Journal.] Vincennes, September 27,1876. Oliver P. Morton spoke here to-night. His ferocious face is evidently dark ened bv the shadow of coming events, His voice is failing him, and the look and air of a victor which he wore at the beginning of the present campaign have given place to an expression and aspect of discouragement and dejection. He is making two speeches a day, and the fact is gradually dawning upon him that “a blast from his bugle is no longer worth a thousand men.” His power to attract and enthuse the masses is rapid ly waning, and according to the state ment of his wife it is affecting him more terribly than disease. The torchlight procession which greeted and escorted this Asraodeus of his party was composed of men, wo men,and children,without regard to race, color, or previous condition, and num bered by actual count less than three hundred. Of this number about one hundred and twenty-five were voters, Fifty Africans were sandwiched between one hundred and twenty-five whites, and contributed very materially to the disorder and confusion which prevailed in the ranks. Tbe procession marched to the depot to receive his bulUhip, and greeted him with the most vociferous bleats which their lungs were capable of producing. When they reached the court-house they found a crowd in waiting com posed of both sexes and colors, and numbering about twelve hundred, two- fifths of which were Democrats, some of whom persisted in shouting for Old blue Jeans. Several evidently visited the scene through curiosity, for after his introduction by Gen. Noble they immediately left, leaving about seven hundred to listen to his vituperation and abuse. It were superrogatory to feport any extracts from his speech, for it would be but a recapitulation of his Indianapolis address, with whicn paper leaders are already familiar. Suffice 11 ^ say, he waved the “ bloody shirt,” and outbellowed tho bull of Bashan and was lustily cheered by the torch- warera in the crowd. His audience, all told, wa,i not as large as the procession °i the Democrats which paraded here a tew days ago, when Brown, of Illi (ires' ae *' vere< ^ hiB magnificent ad lately over the platform from wtiich Morton spoke, a statue of Justice tands, and the Radicals had the good onae to construct a screen which effect ally shut the goddesB from her mock iJ Vl , ew ; This was very appropriate, Meed, for if thore is a man on the tnencan continent who has unsorupu- and systematically violated ner ,„ v ‘V e principles and precedents, and „ , ra , her statue should be a crush- inn ?’ ^at man is Oliver P.

A is not at all interested in articles that suit the taste of B, and B is amazed that A takes so kindly to the articles which he does no* read, while ~ is disgusted with both. Those who read a newspaper should bear in mind the great variety of tastes ,f iB necessary for its editors to consult. - man whose attention is devoted ex clusively to farming and agricultural pursuits will take no special interest ,n local town gossip, and the numerous leaders in town will find no special pleasure in reading a purely agricul tural article. A cultivated old man will be disgusted at the silly story that will captivate the illiterate or the children. Women are not always satisfied with political news, and men care little for the latest fashion items. Old ladies will throw down a paper in contempt that contains a descriptive account of an elegant party wherein toilets are given; while, on the other hand, noth ing will quicker strike the fancy of a society young lady. Some readers of the graver sort may he disgusted at re ports of parties and social gatherings; who arrive home and who leave town; while many will read nothing else in the paper. And so it works. Please remember, then, when you see articles in a newspaper that do not suit your fancy, that you are only one of several thousand, old and young, male and fe male, wise and illiterate, whose tastes have to be consulted in a newspaper’s general make-up. Road what suits your taste, and pass the distasteful items over to those who will find the greatest pleasure in what you reject. The mission and character of news papers have been greatly changed in these latter days. Now men are too actively engaged in the rivalries of their business pursuits to stop to ponder over long-studied and labored articles that once filled the columns of news papers. They require brief, pithy, and newsy items. Papers are now princi pally engaged for disseminating news— newsy is the word; and the slightest little incident is now required to be taken notice of by the custom and tastes of the times. Slany things may fre quently appear in the Statesman, and other papers, that are in themselves light and frivolous; but it will be seen, by those who understand and appreci ate tbe foregoing, that it is necessary to give space to such things in order to meet the demand of a great variety of tastes.—Missouri Statesman. onge the vote of every negro whose 1)6 lint-- P erf ectly familiar, and woe attern.^ l “ porte< l African who casts, or will to cast > an illegal vote.

Madrid^ 66 eat ^ n 8 liberal journals in ins te tv, navo been suppressed, accord- a. i°?, rre8 P on dent of the London on tri’Z „ 9“telar’s paper, El Qlobo, is and likely to he discontinued Mark Twain as a Reporter. I reported on a morning paper three years, and it was pretty hard work, 3ut I enjoyed its attractions. Report ing is the best school in tho world to 5et a knowledge of human beings, human nature, and human ways. A nice, gentlemanly reporter—I make no references—is well treated by every body. Just think of tbs wide range of his acquaintanceship, his experience of life ana society. No other occupation brings a man into such familiar social relations with all the grades and classes of people. The last thing at night- midnight—he goes browsing around after items among the police and jail birds in the lock-up, questioning the prisoners, and making pleasant and asting friendships among some of the worst people in the world. And the very next evening he gets himself up regardless of expense, puts on all the good clothes his friends have got, goes and takes dinner with the Governor or the Commander-in-Chief of the Dis trict, the United States Senator, and some more of the upper crust of soci ety. He is on good terms with all of them, and is present at every gathering, and has easy access to every variety of people. Why I breakfasted almost every morning with the Governor, dined with the principal clergyman, and slept in the station-house. A reporter has to lio a little, of course, or they would discharge him. That is why I left it. I am different from Washington; I have a higher and grander standard of principle. Wash ington could not lie. I can lie, but I won’t. Reporting is fascinating, but then it is so distressing to have to lie so. Lying is bad—lying is very bad. Every individual knows that by expe rience. I think for a man to tell a lie, when he cannot make anything by it, is wrong. Teddy Mulloy’s Bag. Alta California]. Father Desmond cleared his voice, took a sip of toddy, and began in a dry, solemn way: “ A friend of his, a priest, was hearing confessions one Saturday, and a boy came to him and said he had a rale bad sin in his mind. ‘Well, me good boy, on wid it,’ said his reverence; ‘ sure we must all be forgiven ; so what 1 Do you say it twenty times a day, me good boy?’ ‘ Aaugn begor, an’ I do, an’ more thau forty times a day, ycur river- encel' ‘ Tbis is very bed, indeed, me good boy. Go home now,’ said the priest, * and get your sister to make you a bag and hang it arouud your neck, and every time you say, he the Holy Father, drop a little stone in it, and come to me this day week.’ Well, that day week his reverence was hearin’, as usual, in his box, and he heard an awful noise in the church, so he looked out ov the dure, and what docs he see but his penitent, an’ he dragin’ a sack up the body of the churchl ‘Teddy Mulloy,’ says he,‘what do you mane by such conduck in the church?’ ,Shure, yer riverence,’ says the fellow, ‘ doso Is all be de Holy Father’s, an de rest of urn’s outside on de dray.’ ” Oo the supposition that the presi dential election may be very close- that the matter of a dozen electional votes may be all the preponderance one way or the other—tears are expressed in some quarters of Berious troubles ahead. It is apprehended on the one side that, if Tilden should “carry” Mississippi and Louisiana by force and intimidation and be elected by a ma jority of half a dozen votes, the voteB of those States will not be counted by the Republican Senate. On the other hand is is supposed that if certain of the Southern States where troops are used go for Hayes, and thus secure his election, the Democratic House will not count them because of the belief that the result was obtained by the intimi dation of tbo Democrats by the army, and that tho use of tho army was ille gal, unconstitutional, Ac. Thus it is dreaded by some that we may have a a contest over the electoral vote which will shake the very foundations of the country.— Washington Star, John Walter, M. P., the world-famous n ietor of the Ljrdon Times, arrived s country on September 12th. At ter landing, ne started on a tour througr the Western 8tates and the Canadas. Il the latter part of October he will visit the Centennial Exhibition, and during his stay in Philadelphia will be the guest of Geo, W. Childs, of the Puilte Ledge)'. Manufacture of Paper. Of the 1,300,000,000 human beings in habiting the globe, 360,000,000 have no writing material of any kind; 500,000,- 000 of the Mongolian race use a paper made from the stalks and leaves of plants; 10,000,000 use for graphic pur poses tablets of wood; 130,000,000—the Persians, Hindoos, Armenians and Sy rians—have paper made from cotton, while the remaining 300,000,000 use the ordinary staple. The annual consump tion by this latter number, is estimated at 1,800,000,000 pounds, an average of six pounds to the person, which has in creased from two and a half pounds during the last fifty years. To produce this amount of paper, 200,000,000 pounds of woolen rags, besides great quantities of linen rags, straw, wood, and other ma terials, are yearly consumed. The paper is manufactured in 4,960 paper mills, em- iloying 90,000 male and 180,000 female aborers. The proportionate amounts of the different kinds of paper are stated to be: Of writing paper, 300,000,000 pounds; ot printing paper, 900,000,000 iounds; of wall paper, 400,000,000, and 100,000,000 pounds of cartoons, blotting paper, etc. It is now simply a question whether f ublic opinion will tolerate the en- orcement by the executive of laws whioh the Supreme Court have de clared that Congress had no power to pass. It is simply a question whether the president of the United States shall be confined in his exeoution of laws to those which Congress had constitutio nal power to enact, or shall be per mitted to make law at his own pleas ure and enforce it by milittary power. It is a mere question whether a presi dent, who has been told by the Supreme Court of the United States that Con gress has never yet enacted a law that can be regarded as an execution of a special power confided in it, shall be permitted to tell his subordinates to enforcers law that which is no law at all’ It'is a question whether we live under a government of laws or under the will of a dictator.—Geo. Tieknor Curtis. _ The business prospect continues en couraging. Better prices are expected for American grain because of the short crop in England. The domestic market shows the effect already, but happily there is no wild speculation started, and the improvement in prices promises to he of a substantial charac ter. In nearly all branches of trado the merchants and manufactures now hold that bottom has been touched, and lrom that point recovery, however grad ual, is assured. The encouraging fact is that while rapid or speculative move ments are not to be expected, and as regards the latter are not to be desired yet tho general movement is in the di rection of improvement. Mybtebious Indian Telegraphy.— It would seem that the Indians have some mysterious means of conveying the news, liks the famous grapevine telegraph of the negroes during the war. The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer PresB and Tribune says that, while the first telegraphic news of Custers death reached them at midnight, the Indians loafing about town were en quiring about it at noon, and soon made themselves scarce. A Hartford chemist professes to have discovered how to get the fertiling proper ties out of stable manure so it can be transported in very small bulk, while tho residue makes first-class paper stock.
