From Our Own Corretpondent,
Washington, Nov. 10, 1870.
The concern in administration circles deepens
with reference to the political futnrc, as the
returns of the late elections present their stub
born realities. On Tuesday night and Wednes
day the President was In receipt of the most
flattering despatches from most of the 8tates,
and ne was greatly elated at what was sup
posed to be the practical completeness of the
Republican triumph; but as the enthusi
astic reports of heated partisans give
way to the Irresistible logic of
arithmetic, the measure of the dlcaster presents
Its full significance. First came the unwelcome
tidings of Governor Newell's defeat la New
Jersey; then another and still another was added
to the lost Congressmen In New York; then
came Kentucky with but one district claimed
by the Republicans, and that still doubtful; then
came Alabama with a sweeping Democratic
Victory; then came Arkansas with a like result;
then Florida fell back Into the list of doubtful
States; then Missouri swelled the tide of adverse
majorities until but two administration Uepub
licans remained; then Nevada faltered, and Illi
nois grew worse with each new return, until
Ingersoll turned up defeated, and the dele
gation will probably be Democratic. Inthe
great battlo of Tuesday, the only achievement
worthy to be reckoned a victory was in New
Jersey; in all the other States the variations In
the political tide were uniformly and in many
instances fearfully pregnant with evil fore
bodings to the Republicans. The latest des
patches received to-night are but confirmatory
of administration reverses, and the significant
feature of the summing up is that the States of
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Nevada, and Missouri are not Republi
can, and Georgia and Texas are reasonably cor-'
tain to follow. To these losses must be added
Connecticut, Indiana, California, and Oregon,
with Pennsylvania trembling in the balance,
while obstinate Keutucky and Now York are
more hopeless than ever.
It was not disguised to-day in administration
circles that the disaster is serious, and the
President feels keenly disappointed and morti
fied at the general political aspect of the coun
try. Cameron has been here to look after new
Spoils, but the President was not in a humor to
promise anything. lie feels that he has blun
dered; that he has wasted his great powers;
that he has not been sustained by the nation;
and he would be glad to remedy the misfortune
If he could see a clear way open to retrieve
himself. But Cameron comes and renews hU
repeatedly-broken promises of future success,
and demands offices and plunder. Chandler de
mands rigid political proscription of the starve
lings of the departments, with a few Indian
agencies thrown in, and a transfer of the
patronage to the Congressional Committee, as
a panacea for revolting States. Butler comes
with the Alabama claims as a measure of Re
publican unity, and makes them
sulphurous with threats of war. Conkllng
comes with fresh lists of Fenton's friends
for decapitation, and promises the Empire State
for 1373. Drake comes with a lost State, sacri
ficed to administration stupidity and Drake's
malignity, to hurl Suurz, Carpenter, Trumbull,
and other revenue reformers outside of the Re
publican organization as the only measure of
safety; and the fading carpet-baggers come to
force new rebellions Upon the President to
ensure them office in defiance of the people.
But the President has tried Cameron and Chan
dler as politicians, and has the Cox blunder as
the legacy. lie has tried Butler's counsels and
actions in war, and will not fight England to
gratify the "bottled-up" hero. He has reaped
the whirlwind as the harvest of Conkling's sow
ing in New York and Drake's in Missouri, and
the debatable Southern States and their politi
cians are running sores of discomfort.
What policy the President will adopt he has
tot yet decided himself. For the first
time since his inauguration, he appreciates that
however well he could command armies, ho is a
failure in the command of a great political party;
and the surrender to Cameron and Chandler by
the removal of Secretary Cox has astounded
him by the widespread and earnest protest of
the more influential Republican journals. The
effort to cover It with the McGarrahau case Is a
flimsy and discreditable pretext, and so the
country understands it. It was a shameful sur
render to mere political camp-followers. Ilad it
been an advauce in the direction of statesman
ship, it would have commanded Republicau
approval, regardless of dissatisfied politician!",
but to allow Cameron and Chandler to proclaim
themselves as the authors of the new political
policy of the administration was simply to allow
them to i roclaim in advance its defeat.
Is there no ne to impress the President with
the fact that he must at once call the nyrvsci
latice statesmen of the Republican party around
him, if he would not swell the disasters Of 1870
to a tidal wave in 1672 ? Does he notknow that
the statesmen of the country rarely give un
bidden counsel; that they do not crowd the
halls of the White House; that they do not pro
mise political impossibilities; that they do not
blackmail official subordinates; that they do not
barter in administration patronage; that they
do not carry their petty jealousies to the throne
and load it with their quarrels: that they have
achieved position and honor by deserving them,
and not by accident or venality; and that they
respect themselves aud their integrity more than
they respect power or Its plunder ? They do
Lot rush to Washington and hire corres
pondents to proclaim their purposes
aud their Importance. They do not fear that
particular appointments may impair their influ
ence, or consign them to obscurity. They do
not denounce the Cumerons to-day, and become
pitiable sycophants to them to-morrow. They
are the men whom the people honor and
mpect and whom the camp-followers hate,
and they are the men vho must sace drant's
administration if it Is tared at all! Why do
cot Senator Scott and Representatives Kelley
aid Scoficld venture to whisper the truth to
power?, Small men cannot do it and corrupt
uien dare not do it; but there are brave men
Ltre and there who can do it, and whose impe
rious duty it is to make an Louest and positive
effort to right the ship of Ute.
The Republicans of the couitry should look
the results of the late elections squarely in the
face. It is now definitely settled that then will
not be a reliable working administration ma
jority in the nest Congress, There will be a
nominal Republican majority, but the adminis
tration will start in a minority, and under the
leadership of Butier it will never gala control of
the House. The election of the regular Repub
lican candidates for 8pcakerandClerk,althongh
more than probablo, Is not entirely certain. The
Missouri election and the dismissal of Secretary
Cox have made a positive, organized, and ag
gressive element within the Republican party
that Is bitterly hostile to the President, and to
night the Democrats are boasting that they will
give the control of Congress to the revenue
reformers, and then organize the House against
the regular Republicans. Do not regard this
intimation as groundless. In the present con
dition of cross-purposes between the Republi
can leaders, the defeat of the party In the next
House is altogether possible, and if the suicidal
policy of ostracizing men like Schurz, Trumbull,
Fenton, Ferry, Sumner, and others is continued,
and St. Domingo jobs are made teats of devo
tion to the party, the defeat of Speaker Blaine
and Clerk McPherson will be Inevitable, and
the anti-administration men will organize the
House.
The rumor that Gov. Curtln has resigned, or
contemplates resigning, is a mistake. Cameron
would like to have him removed, but so far has
has not dared to demand it. He wants Curtin
turned out, but he fears to have him return
home. While Curtin la a thorn to Cameron in
Russia, he would be a more dangerous thorn to
him in Pennsylvania, so there will be no change
in the Russian mission. Many of Gov. Curtin's
friends are anxious for his return, but they have
not urged him to resign. It is believed that he
will be felt in a marked degree in the next po
litical contest in Pennsylvania, but just how, or
with what immediate aim, I cannot venture to
eay.
TUE CHOQVET CURATE. '
The sermon is the one thing that embitters
this festive yonng life. Gay, volatile, chatty,
be tears himself away from that charming
lawn party at the hall to find hiamauvais quari
d'heure. lie knows nothing, he never thinks,
and even the most commonplace of dis
courses asks for a faint pretence of knowl
edge, a faint effort of thought. There is the
impossibility of beginning his sermon.
There is the remeter impossibility of ending
it. The pen quivers in his idle fingers at the
thought of the loud snore from the squire's
corner, the rector's sneer, the quiet mockery
of the girls who worship him in the croquet
fjtonnd. But the fingers are still idle. He
paces the room, he looks out of the window,he
screws himself down again to his table, but
nothing comes. There is nothing for it but to
cram, and to do him justice, he crams in a
large and unsectarian spirit. He ranges his
authorities before him with a disdain for the
ological bias, A bit out of Keble jostles a bit
out of Spurgeon, a page of Robertson follows
a metaphor from Melville, 'lhe theology of
the croquet curate is, as his rector kindly
explains, "mosaic," but the mosaic is put to
gether with an innocent artlessness. There is
none of the graceful self-consciousnesa with
which the extemporaneous prophet of the
seaside weaves together his cento of quota
tions. Haydn wrote sonatas in court dress
and ruffles, and the apostle of the "genteels"
composes in the softest and most gorgeous of
dressing gowns. Before him is his common
place book, around are a host of little vol
umes, in which he dips as a bee dips in
flowers. The sentiment of George Sand, the
sublimity of Jean Paul, the pathos of Little
Nell, are all laid under contribution. Theologi
cal distinctions are unknown to Mr. Honeyman
as to the croquet curate, but he is too much
a man of the world to borrow from familiar
quarters. Old treatises of German mystios
picked up on bookstalls along the Rhine,
dusty Furitan diatribes, "golden extracts"
from forgotten fathers, lie side by side with
the last discourse of Pere Felix or the newest
pamphlet of Conali. -To weave these discor-
i JflRt materials into the bright, indistinct, but
never tedious sermon of the Sunday, is the
least task of the fashionable Sunday preacher.
His mirror is before him, but the greater
artists of his class need even more than a
mirror. One of the most popular of London
preachers is said to have furnished his library
with a model pulpit, and to have studied the
wave of his jeweled hand, tbepathetio droop,
the winning gesture of irresistible appeal, in
the wood itself. ' .- . '
' A 'Love Story. The Count de St. Groix,
belonging to one of the noblest and wealthi
est families of France, became engaged,
after a long courtship, to a lady hi3 equal in
position and fortune, and famous for her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day was ap
pointed which was to render two loving hearts
one, the Count was ordered immediately to
the 6iege of Sebastopol; so he girded on his
regimentals and marched to the battle-field.
During the Count's absence it happened that
his beautiful affianced had the small-pox; and
hovering between life and death, she recov
ered, but found her beauty hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed in her case the
most virulent character, and left her not
only disfigured, but seamed and scarred ta
such an extent that she became hideous to
herself, and resolved to pass the remainder of
her days in the strictest seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, immediately on his return to France,
accompanied by his valet, presented himself
at the residence of his betrothed, and soli
cited an interview, which was denied. He,
however, with the persistence of a lover,
pressed his suit, and finally the lady made
her appearance, very closely mufliedia a veil.
At the sound of her voice 'the Count rushed
forward to embrace her, but, stepping aside,
she tremblingly told him the story of her
sorrow, and burst into tears. A heavenly
Fmile broke over the Count's handsome fea
tuies as, raising his hand above, he ex
claimed: 'It is God's work ! I am blind !'.'
It was even so. When gallantly leading his
regiment to the attack a cannon ball passed
so closely to his eyes that, while it left their
expressicn unchanged and his countenance
unmarked, robbed him forever of sight.
It is unnecessary to add that their marriage
was soon solemnized.
Artificial Paving Stones. la many lo
calities where a blast furnace is in the neigh
borhood, the slags are used on the roads, and
mtke a very good and solid bed; the crushing
power of the wheels grinds and aaioothes the
surface, while the different particles, by ex
posure to the weather and the action of the
loads drawn over the road, cohere together
and form a solid mass, as is the case with the
McAdam pavement. It was some time ago
suggested that this furnace slag would make
an excellent pavement if cast in blocks of the
size of those employed in our so-called Bel
gian pavement, as it is harder than the basalt
used for the latter, and nearly as hard as por
phyry. We are glad to notice that a similar
idea has been practically carried out by
Messrs. Sepidchre and Obresser, of Belgium.
They cast the slag in blocks, and have paved
vith them several streets in Brussels, with a
very steep incline, and also some streets in
Paris. This roadway 1a said to give satufao
tion, as it stands a far heavier traffio than the
best and most celebrated paving stones, and
by experiment resisted a crushing weight of
considerably more than 5000 pounds per
square inch. The expense of coating these
blocks is below that of quarrying and squaring
the usual granite or basalt bloota used for the
modern kinds of stone pavements. The Lon
don Architect speaks thus favorably of this
invention, which, in some oountries, will, no
doubt, prove of gTeat value. The improve,
ment of our roadways, especially in large
cities, is a question of so much importance
that every fact bearing upon the subjeot de
serves to be recorded. Technologist.
The Dress or Children. Now that winter
is approaching, it behooves parents more
than ever to see that their children are
clothed in such a manner as to protect them
from the inclemency and sudden changes of
the weather.' The chief cause of infantine
mortality, in addition to foul air, or too rich
or too poor food, is the false pride of many
mothers. Children are killed by the manner
in which they are dressed as certainly as by
any other cause. In our changeable olimate
children of the most tender age are left with
bare arms and legs, and with low-neoked
dresses. The mothers, in the same dress,
would shiver and suffer with cold, and
expect a fit of sickness as the
result of their' culpable careless,
ness. And yet the mothers could en
dure such a treatment with far less danger to
health and life than their tender infants can.
A moment's reflection will indicate the effects
of this mode of dressing, or rather want of
dressing, on the child. The moment the cold
air strikes its bare arms and legs, the blood
is diivcn from these extremities to the inter
nal and more vital organs. The result is con
gestion, to a greater or less extent, of those
organs. In warm weather the heat will bring
on affections of the bowels, and thin mode of
dressing may be reckoned one of the chief
causes of summer complaints. But in cold
weather congestion and inflammation of the
brain and lungs are the result. It is painful
to see children thus dressed like victims for
sacrifice.
Stories About IIorsE Servants. I re
member a lady being at the Botanical Gar
dens one day, and, while looking at the
swans in the ornamental water, she acciden
tally touched the foot of another lady simi
larly employed. She immediately apologized,
and the stranger, turning , to bow, revealed
her own housemaid. The girl was really ele
gantly dressed, better dressed and better
looking than her mistress. The latter com
menced a severe and angry lecture; but the
housemaid took it very calmly, and told her
mistress that she might provide herself with
another housemaid by the end of the month.
I believe there are certain houses in town to
which servant girls resort to doff their ordi
nary attire and don their ladylike raiment.
I know a French woman who told her mis
tress that she meant to say at home for a
time to "compose herself and get her hands
white." Those who can read take a lively in
terest in the correspondence of the family.
I know a family who were extremely annoyed
by some piece of unpleasant family news be
coming circulated in the neighborhood.
They were careful people, and took pains
either to lock up Tor destroy their letters.
But it seemed that they tore up their letters
into "spills," which they put into a vase on
the drawing-room mantel-shelf, and a servant
had actually sewn together these "spills" and
read off the contents of their letters. London
