Grant, not the Republican party, has elected Garfield and de¬ feated Hancock. Gen. Grant smashed both parties in doing and the party from now on to 1884 will be the Grant party. Whether the South will unite with this party or not is yet to be seen ; but there is one thing certain, tho Democrats South will never rely on the Dem¬ ocrats 'North again, unless they show they have a majority of the Northern States to support them in all good faith. Gen. Grant so long as he lives will stand in the way of the success of any party that opposes him. The Northern peo¬ ple, be their predilections what they •may, will stand by Grant “first, and all the time.” When he the country listens and tho North hangs on hi# lips. He tled in New York on purpose to ■carry that great State and he has done it. He was placed at the head ■of a military organization on pur¬ pose to intimidate those who would not follow, and settle tho question that“Hancock would take the tho reverse way. We predicted year, when discussing the on the lino of propriety and in tbe Presidential canvas, Grant would be hardest of all men to overcome. Wo ha%*o our in tho Union by grace, and Grant intends that such a fact shall not be ignored North or South. IIis re¬ cent speeches indicate that policy. He now proposes to establish a great national party and nothing but his death can prevent its popu¬ lar tido from sweeping tho country. If our people will be contented to stand still and let results work out for them more grace in the Nor¬ thern heart, pity, of itself, will over ■cornc prejudice and hate, and si¬ lence the clamor of sectional par¬ tisans forever. Joe Brown is to bo tho great leader of tho South. He comes in at a most opportune time. «Mr. Stephens’ day is fur spent and he is about to receive tho im¬ mortal crown of the Christian states¬ man in eternity, and Joe Brown is our great hope.—- ft amnion Clipper. Mrs. Fillmore, the widow of kte ex-President, is dangerously ill with paralysis at her home in Buffalo. She was attacked a week ago; and one side rendered power¬ less and speech nearly destroyed. She is scarcely expected to recover. An aged miser was found mur¬ dered in his house, at Niles Mich., and $500 of his hoard was sing. For months tho mystery the crime was not penetrated. length a quiet, respected year-old boy of the neighborhood began to s|wnd money freely. Being accused of the murder, he •confessed his guilt. The Po*t-Appeal reports that by the use of tho new electric lights now being used by the Atlanta cot¬ ton factory, it has been discovered that an average of moro than yards of goods per light lias been the increase of the production over the amount heretofore made by the ordinary gas light. Two and a half millions of tropi¬ cal oranges were received in the past six months at San Francisco ■from the French islands of Tahiti. They have come in about equal numbers every month from March to September, showing that the tree# are in perpetual bcariug. One thousand and fifty laths will cover seventy yards of surface, and eleven psuuis of nails will put them ou. Eight bushels of good lime, fifteen bushels sand, and one bushels hair makes enough good mortar to plaster one hundred square yards. A cord of stone, three bushels of lime and a cubic foot of sand will lay one hundred cubic feet of wall. One thousand shiuglew laid four inches to the weather will cover one hundred square feet of surface, aud five pounds of nails will fasten Ahem on. Five courses of brick will lay one foot in height on a chimney; six brick in a course will make a flue four inches wide and twelve inches long; eight brick# in a course will make a flue eight inches wide and sixteen inches long. Thu Russian Terror. The reign of terror established does not seem to reassure authorities. In spite of over¬ prisons, of wholesale de¬ to Siberia, and daily and executions In nearly every town of the empire, they find themselves overmatched by the revolutionists. An order just issued by the Governor-General of St. Petersburg shows, -this, and at the same time bears official testi¬ mony to tbe universality of the dis¬ affection, "Whereas, it is neces¬ sary to place the cab drivers of the capital under surveillance to pre¬ vent suspected persons from escap¬ ing the pursuit of justice by their aid,” runs this document, "I decree as follows.’’ And then the order goes on to direct that every driver of a public vehicle shall also have the number painted in red upon tbe lamps. Vehicles which do ply for hire in the streets, but are hired at livery, may lie excused from dis¬ playing a number and badge, at tbe discretion of the-polico authori¬ ties. But all drivers of vehicles are compelled to stop, by day or night, whether carrying a fare or not> when called upon to do so by tbe police. The penalty for tbe infrac¬ tion of any part of the order is fine or imprisonment. In more orderly and civilized countries carriages plying for hire nro subjected to police control for tbe protection of those using thorn. In Russia the control is established as precaution against revolution'— Pull Mull Ga¬ zette. Business Maxims. 1.
