RLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8 ce .

Boston, Novy. 6.

The republicans won a noble victory, yes- terday, throughout the Northern States, in. fact everywhere except in the South. The fight for hard money was rewarded with ab- undant and even unexpected success.

The Republicans in New Hampshire elected | their Governor by a majority vote and all three Congressmen, a gain of one. In Con- necticut three Congressmen were elected, being a gain of two. The Legislature, whic} is also Republican, will elect a Governor, and will send to the Senate a Republican in place of Barnum. In Vermont, Barlow, the bolter, is elected.

In New York the Republican State ticket appears to have beencarried. The Legislature will choose a Republican Senator, and the in dications are thata gain of eight Congress- men will be made.

in New Jersey two, and in Maryland one seat has been recovered, ;

illinois added two to her list of Republican members, Michigan probably one, and there is a chance of still another in Wisconsin. Against this list of nineteen seats captured from the Democrats, nothing can be offset in the Northern States.

The South, however, has béen made more solid than ever. If the Nemoecratic claims are justified there will be of Southern Republicans in the next house only from Tennesse; one from Missouri, and possibly the third from Kentucky. They lay claim to the three South Carolina. one North Carolina, one Florida, one Louisanna, and three Missouri districts, now held by Republicans.

‘Talbot, Republican, has been eleeted Gov ernor of Massachusetts, having a plurality of 30,600 over Gen. Butler, the -candidate of the ‘‘National Party.” * Abbot, the regular De- mocratic candidate, received a small vote.

in New York Augustus Schell, Tammany Hall candidate for Mayor, has been defeated by Edward Cooper, who was supported by a combination of Republicans, anti-Tammany Democrats, ete.

Parts, Nov. 6.

The ‘‘Evenement” says a duel will probably take place between M. M. Cassagnac and Mar- ron. Deputies, in consequence of a dispute in the Chamber yesterday.

A despatch from Vienna says that An- drassy will probably announce, at the opening of the session of the Delegations, the con- clusion of a convention with Turkey relative to Novi Bazar.

A Berlin despatch announces that in the event of new complications, Germany, as far as feasible, will support the cause of peace, but will not join in any combined action for enforcing the treaty of Berlin.

Pzsru, Nov. 6.

The Hungaria Diet has rejected a motion for the impeachment of the Ministry by a vote of 170 to 95.

Vrenna, Noy. 6.

The Lower House of the Reichstag adopted an address in reply to the speech from the throne after some debate, after which Baron Von Prentis Cagnod demonstrated that the occupation of Bosnia, which was authorized by ali the powers including Turkey, was neces- sary to prevent a development of forces in the Balkan peninsula which would sooner or later clash with the interest of Austria.

St. Prrerssura, Nov. 6.

The Golos declares that Westerr Europe must be given to understand that it is impos-

sible in the present situation of affairs for Rus- sia to fulfil the Treaty of Berlin. Lonpon, Nov. 6, A Lisbon dispatch announces that Portugal, France and England will act in union agains‘ the King of Dahomcy. Lonpon, Nov. 6. A dispatch from Calcutta points*to an order just issued for the formation, from the Madras and Bombay armies, of a new division for. the frontier, as a clear indication that the Govern- ment has expected an unfavorable reply to itd ultimatum. Lonpon, Nov. 6. The snowstorm at Vienna, on Sunday, was very heavy. All the railway and telegraph lines were interrupted, telegraph poles were prostrated, and parks and trees in the city greatly injured. The snow lies several feet deep. The storm extended thronghont Austria.

Shifting and Changing.

(From the Humalton Spectator. )

Next toa mysterious disappearance and sudden return, giving a man the chance to read his own obituary, the best way for a fellow to find out how highly his enemies esteem him is to be elected to Parliament and be left out of the Government. Only a few weeks ag» Mr. Thomas White was a wind bag, Hon. Wm. McDougall was an abandoned man, Hon. John Carling didn’t know anything, Mr. Rufus Stephenson ought to be ashamed of himself, Mr. Colby was a swindler, Mr. Costigan a bigot, Senator McPherson a humbug, and R. W. Phipps a conceited jackanapes. The Cabinet has been formed of other material, and now the Reform organs, whose recent opinions we have briefly summarized above, are dis- gusted that Sir John Macdonald did not avail himself of the wisdom and statesman- ship of these distinguished gentleman. B and by some of these men will go into the Cabinet and then the Reforin newspapers will have another fit of true inwardness and re-discover their bad qualities.

A general gloom appears to be settling down upon our manufacturing industries, and the tenor of advices from all centres of trade shows that the hopefulness inspired by the Berlin Treaty has now entirely van- ished. The recent failures, too, have hel to throw a clearer light upon the consider- able amount of unsound trading which has

The Salt Industry in Canada.

NO. 436,

tea, ageenenipaee penta

The Monetary Times reports that the salt areas in the counties of Huron and Bruce are

very extensive, and it is shown by analysis

that the brines obtained there are much richer than tuose of New York and Michigan. In and 3, Professor Gibson, of Ottawa,

to be as follows : Seaforth brines, 95° ; Kincar-

dine brines, 94°; Goderich brines, 93° ; Clin- | ton brines, 82° 3 and stated that these Ontario

brines contained, in round numbers, 50 per cent. more salt than those of Syracuse, Canas tota, Port Austin or Saginaw.

A Seaforth brine, analysed in 1872, yielded as follows, in 1,000 parts by weight : Chloride of Sodium, 241.52; Chloride of Calcium, .28 ; Chloride of Magnesium, .42; Sulphate of Lime, 5.82; total, 248.04. An added supert- ority of the Canadian brine is liere shown in the unusually small proportio: t'\y bear of the earthy chlorides, which r» di; some of the American brines sharp and sliv)tly bitter in taste.

There are about ten firms nov e>gaged in salt making in Canada. At as) a8 many more were engaged in its produ *tiou, but their works are now closed, owing « f 12ign com- ‘specially those of Goderich, are gomg t» decay. Between 1870 and 1876, weils were sunk at Ainleyville, Dublin, and the places named above, to depths of 950 te 1,240 feet. There is required for the ordinary consumption of Orleans we are told by a good authority, about 220,000 barrels of Canadian salt, annually, which is say 700 barrels per day. We have seen it stated that tlie amount produced in 1875 was 350,000 barrels, which indicates that the production has fallen off one-half since then. And this demand has been, supplied. during the past five years by the various wells in the following proportion, as nearly that is, as an approximate estimate can be made .—Seaforth wells, 140,000 barrels, shipped in nearly equal proportions by Gray, Young and Sparling, Coleman & Couinlock, and Merchants Sait Company ; Clinton Wells, 49,000 barrels, shipped by R. Rainsford and McGarvie, Combe & Co; Dublin wells, 30,000 barrels, shipped by Kid & Co.; Goderich and Kincardine wells, 10,000 barrels, shipped by International Salt Company and L. Right- meyer. The heavy duty imposed by ‘the American tariff upon salt going iato the United States, eight cents per 100 pounds and a keen competition from the salt works at Saginaw, Mich., just across Lake Huron, have for the past two years almost closed the Chicago mar- ket to Canadian salt producers. It was mai for the supply of that market that several of the largest salt works at Goderich and Kincar- dine were constructed. The larger of these, notably the International Company’s. at Goderich, and those of Mr. Rightmeyer at Kincardine, are in a position to produce very largely, as soon as an adequate foreign market can be found at fairly remunerative prices. These places are both lake ports and well situa for shipping salt per steam or sail craft,

The works at inland places, on or near the railways, viz., Seaforth, Clinton and Dublin, are capable of making at least double the quan- tity at present shipped. But the low freights at which English salt is now delivered here from Liverpool—much of it coming, indeed, as ballast—permit the substitution of that article for the Canadian to a very considerable extent, Some American salt finds its way also to On- tario ports, which it enters free, while our salt is subject to an American duty equai to about twenty-two cents per barrel. Demand for the home article would, in the opinion of Canadian salt men, be increased to nearly the extent of the imports from abroad, by the imposition of a duty of say five cents per 100 pounds, and the territory supplied by the Goderich salt thus be increased.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage.

Talmage, the great practical, or, as some would call him, sensational, preacher of Brook- lyn, is becoming increasingly popular, and his sermons are now a great deal more extensively printed in the newspapers than those of any other man. In concluding his sermon last Sabbath, he said :—

Next Sabbath morning I shall speak of my second night of exploration. I have begun to stir the cities, and, God helping me, I will go through, I donot know what conrse 1 will take in these Sabbath morning sermons. But whoever else will be crowded @r kept standing outside the doors, I charge the tiust es of the church that they give full elbow »oom to these

journalists, since each one is aa th<* church five times or ten times or twen'y tir cs larger than this august assemblage, an! it s by the

he Son of May the

The Boston Traveller says: ** [ho London

Times is a good deal exercised ai pie.eut over the success of the Canadian Conservatives, and the likeliheod of the Macdonald Ministry adopting a policy of Reciprocity on a_ basis that would admit American goods to Canadian markets, duty free, and vice versa, while keep- ing up the tariff on British goods of the same class. The Vimes, notwithstanding its ! posi-

Y | tion and prestige, knows very little about the

situation in Canada, or it would not be alarmed by such a baseless fear. There is no party in Canada which ever proposed or contemplated anything of the kind. The Canadians, as a rule, are loyal to the verge of infatuation, and one of the principal obstacles in the way of adopting an efficient Protective tariff in the past has been the sentimental objection to the exclusion of English goods in common with those of the United States and other nations.” —_—_—-.-—____
