From Adams to Blaine.

Some time ago we directed attention to the honesty of John Quincy Adams, as shown by a little transaction in bank stock. When ex-President Adams was about to re-enter public life as a member of Congress lie foresaw that he might be called upon to vote with reference to a renewal of the charter of the Bank of the United States, the only national bank of those days. He owned some of that bank’s stock, and he sold it without delay. We compared that act and the reasons assigned for it by Mr. Adams with the course taken by James G. Blaine, Speaker of the House of Representatives, in the Lit:tle Rock and Fort Smith matiter; and quoted the shameful ‘deadhead’ letter. The publication of the additional letters written by Blaine to Warren Fisher, Jr., and Josiah Caldwell revealed the fact that Blaine, like exPresident Adams, had ideas about national banks and the duties of a Congressman with reference thereto. Blaine’s ideas concerning these subject were not, however, like those of Mr. Adams- The eminent statesman who served his country so faithfully wrote as follows three days before taking his seat in the House: Philadelphia, 9th. I called upon Nicholas Biddle at the United States Bank and received two dividends of my bank stock, by an order upon the branch bank at Washington. I left with Mr. Briddle&ir certificate of stock to "be sold 7 and the proceeds to be remitted according to such directions as I may give. 1 told him that, as i mighl be called to take a part in public

measures concerning the bank and was favorable to it, I wished to divest myself of all personal interest in it. Thirty-eight years later James 6. Blaine, Speaker of the House of Representatives, wrote the following letter to Warren Fisher, Jr.: Augusta, Me.. 18th Nov., 1869. My Dear Mr. Fisher: It is quite evident to my mind that at the approaching session of Congress there will be an exansion of currency to the pmount of fifty or seventy-five millions of dollars. The form it will take, I think, will be an addition to the National Bank circulation, West and South. My object in writing is to ( ask in season if your friends | would desire to esteblish a bank at Little Rock. It will be to some extent a matter of favoritism as to who gets the banks in the several localities, and it will be in my power to ‘cast an Anchor to the Windward’ in your behalf if you desire it. Please think over the matter and confer with Mr. Caldwell, and let me know your desire as soon as you reach any conclusion. There is, of course, no special hurry, but • thought I would snggc&t the matter in order that you might mature your thoughts in good time. It would be well to determine the amount to which you might wish to go. I suppose it might be practicable to secure a $500,000 bank; but in that locality you wonld hardly wish to go so deep. But they are very profitable insti tutions—say $250,000, Yours very truly, J. U. Blaine. Warren Fisher, Jr., Esq. There they are —on the one hand the honest old statesman who died at his post, and on the other hand the jobber.

Now For Blaine and Butler Blowers.

‘lf there are any enthusastic men who -entertain the idea .that the Plumed Knight is going to be suer ‘ssful,’ says James Patterson, < the northeast corner of Sew ith avenue and Twenty-sevt -sch street, ‘they can have an > >portunity ot endeavoring to.* well their bank account by accepting any of the following offers r am prepared to make: “One thousand dollars against $.700 that Cleveland carries -the State of New York. “One thousand dollars even that Cleveland will have 30,000 plurality. “One thousand dollars against $.1,700 tnat Cleveland carries Ohio. “One thousand dollars even that Cleveland carries Indiana. “One thousand dollars against S6OO that Cleveland carries New Jersey. “Twenty-five hundred dollars that Cleveland will be elected. “One thousand dollars even that Sutler will not poll 12,000 votes in the county of New York.”

TO MUCH PROTECTION.

Combined With Over-Production Has Ruined the Business ot..£ Woolen Manufacturers. [Pkil’a Special lo the Commercial Guz.j The depression in the wool trade here is something remarkable, business is practically at a st: nd*.still,. The mills ure running on halt' lime, or about to close,.or are closed. William Allen, at Amber and Huntingdon streets, mami» factum: of carpet ynias, who employs three hundred hands, has closed his mills. James Lees & Sons, who e ploy say one thousand hands, have laid off six hundred of them, and are tuning only three days in the week. The prospects are that they will shut down altogether. Among the wool-bro :;rs on Front Street it was reported that Thomas Ken worth & Bro.. whose mills at Shura Lane. Manayuak, employ three hundred men, were on the eve of closing down, but the rumor wa denied at the office ot the firm. While the situation was very bad. It. was said their had been no conclusion reached to slim down. If affairs continued in the same w . a /’. h°wev3r. it was «, mere qu stion of time. The sain# rumors prevailed with regard to Hu-eluusou & O. den, of Manayunk, but on investigation they were found to be running on half time. ‘There are six mills in Manavunk closed/ said Councilman Wild, of the twenty-first ward, and as matters are just new, there will be more before winter. Business is terribly dull. This is due, of c mrse, to over-production, wlii Ji in my opinion, is the result of two much protection. It the mills are shut down and the employes are all thrown on the streets at this time it will make hundreds of Oleveland votes. I hear that McCallum, Crease & Sloan and Bchofield, Mason & Co. are running on hilf time, but there is n® talk as vet of their Closing.

Tbe employes of the miil* th*t a e running on half time are in a * ate of uu-ii-si, anticipating the closing of the esÜbhabment, by which tin y will be tuned Ux se to search t- r other emu! ynenr. The near approach of winter and the dullness of busines* are no; eneouraging ci-tus to there men. who are dipe * dent on the l ib-r <*t their hands lor bread for their families At the iactory of J im s Le ■» & Son j , worsted yarn nianiifuctor< ra, in Norris* town, only lour buudrel bands have been working < n half time, wheieas in the b isy s-’i.sou a thousand have been employed. Manager Ackerov >ai- ! : ‘We attribute the dullness of the trade to over-production: ‘The demand lor tii er grades of worsted vars has decreased to a great exteut, and those manufacturers are now making the cheaper gridit; They have, there/or, encroached upon our trade, and fl.Kxlcd th*- market. ‘Another reason fer our stoppage is that RAW MATERIAL COSTS US THIRTYSIX CENTS PER POUND, AND AFTER WASHING, COMBIN'D, AND HANDLING IT WE CAN GET BUT THIRTY-EIGHT. This does not pay, and the firm prefer to keep their money rather than run the mill and .sink it. We produce iu busy times about 8,(00 pounds of yarn per day, but the strikes among the various industries upon which we depend for sales have so reduced the demands that we have calls for but one quarter of tin t amount. We have -shout one hundred and seventy looms in the factory, about ninety of which are niuning, aud that is more than we actually require.

Thought it was the Cats. ‘lf I can find my pun 1 bet I’ll settle them cats,’ said Mulberry the other night at a late hour, us he slid out of beu and went groping around the room iu the dark. ‘Come buck to bed, you old fool,’ pleaded the gentle voice of Mrs. Mulberry. ‘That isn’t cats; it’s Emetine's new beau down iu the parlor singing Sweet Violets.’ /i’meline’s new beau will not warble any more when lie visits Emeline. Eins eiine has told him that ‘Papa is very easily disturb’*l after he retires.’ A chinaruen came into the ladies’ cabin ot a Brooklyn ferry boat the other day and took a seat beside an Irish market woman- tieseemcito want to make himself agreeable and remriked: ‘Belly cold.” The woman looked at him with an air of contempt, and replied. ‘II you’d put y- ur shift in your pants your hellv wouldn’t he could, ye h&ythen guard.’—ExchangeA new female costume has been adopted in England which is intended lor active outdoor exercise. It consists of two garments, the petticoat and trou-ers and a neatly fitting odiee. It is a comP’omis betweel tbe Bloomer rig and tbe costume of a Highland dancer. As Mr. Blaine is anxious to get the Mulligan letters before the country, it is a little singular that the Republican Committee is not printing tlnm as a campaign document, —Chicago Times Philadelphia conundrum: ‘Why are the latest style of shoe buttons called Old Maid’s Weddiug?’ Bicause they never c- me. • ts A-Great Discovery. Mr. Wiliam Thomas, of Newton, la., says:: ‘My wife has been seriously affected with acoutih tor twenty-five years, and this spring more severely than ever before.
