The following extract ? from ; the Springfield Republican, an Indepen dent political paper of decided Re publican proclivities will show how the matter stands between Fish, the assailant, and the dead Senator whose memory is assailed: "ExSecretary Piah is placed in a very UQpioaaant: predicament by the action of ib Senate io removing, the intuncliort of secrecy from its executive sessions, so far hs un show the facts about the treaties which he ld accused Charles Sumner of neg leciu -i We had not considered it possible luat a gentleman of Mf. Fish's dignity and it puie should not tell the truth in such a muer, and therefore had not ventured to doubi tlhat Mr. Sumner had delayed the reporting of these treaties, believing, how ever, that the delay must have been justi fied by circumstances yet unrevealed to the public;! But the Senate' completely reliev ing Its great member from this charge, leaves Mr. Fish in the position of having made a deliberate misrepresentation, or of acting under what, considering his facili ties, can only be called . extraordinary mis information.". r ' t ' ' A tUllTCD NOBTK. Such is the crv and aim of the Grantitea.; They hope to win, if that be ! possible, by " consolidating . the States of I the North--by having a solid North", which numerically is much greater than a solid South." They expect to succeed in unifying the North through the follief, igno rance, and blindness of f the ' South.1 The papers of that section that repre sent Grantisra are already figuring j so as to show ''how easy" it is to elect Ulysses or some other bloody-tihirt bull dozef. The Philadelphia JPress, for instance, says that the following States ''have given Republican nia- jorities this year," viz: Colorado........ 3 I Nebrasba....... Connecticut....... 6 Nevada 3 3 5 4 5 Illinois..., ....... 21 Iowa. . . . . . . . ....11 Kansas... ........ 5 Maine........... 7 Massachusetts . . . .13 Michigan. . . .... ..11 Minnesota.'. . .'. .". . 5 New Hampshire.

This gives us ICS. j 1 ,i! It Say si to wiu only' twenty-two more votes .are needed, aud that these votes are soaght from California Louisiana, Oregon, Indiana and New York, which give 65 electoral votes. It then ; adds: ? , . "This loots like fallinz back on a united North, but if it is so it is because a united South confronts us united as solidly as in 1861. and for much the same purposethe domination of the Government. It is not our fault if the field looks sectional." So then wa are ,to have a "section al" contest, and all because the South doeai not love the Republican party, that has been its first, its greatest, its most persistent, unscrupulous and re morseless enemy. We do not believe that. Connecticut, New York, Indiana or Louisiana will vote lor Grant or any other Republican nominee. Take Coiijiecticat from the 1 112 claimed, and there are left 106 electoral Votes. Add Ohio and Pennsylvania, 51 votee, and there are but 157 votes. Where ! will the remaining votes to make the necessary 185 come from? If the Republicans shouldcarry Ore- gon . and California, s they will have but 9 more; votes, which, added to 157, makes -but 166 votes nineteen less than are necessary.; ; . . i.-if a LIBBRAlVikw. AT: The Boston Commercial "Bulletin takes quite a generous and, as we think, liberalview of the - subject of cottony factories. ' It thinks Jvir. Jfi. H. Cheney is probably mistaken in his opinion that New Iampsbire had aeen its best days as a manufacturer of cotton, whilst it also thinks those who take the other side are probably equally in error. It says: . "There are important facta upon both sides which it is well to; look at. It is true that cotton manufacturing at the South has developed rapidly during the past eight years; that it baa proved more profitable, when managed intelligently, than was to have been expected; and that there is a great probability of a still greater increase id the future. It is also true that the South ern' cotton mills have superior advantages, in being located in cotton growing sections, which enables them to obtain raw material at a low price, and that they have a large local demand for their goods. ? f j It is4 true, on the other hand; that cot ton manufacturing has also; increased very rapidly Jo New England during the last few years, more rapidly than in the South (not that there has been ji "greater t percent age of increase, but a greater actual in- , crease of producing' capacity).

The truth is the South must learn a i the North did.- ' Give our people tho large experience the Northern peopli i have, and we feel confident that the ' will more than rival them, as 'the ' start with greater natural padvah-; tages.

The Charleston Journal of Com- reteiring iothe proposed mis- sionj of GenrGdrdon,' says: V tTl Vhe purpose is to represent to European capitalists, who are! at a loss to find a safe and profitable method to invest hoarded capital, the advantages of developing the agricultural and manufacturing opportuni ties of the South and to show the advan tages ot immigration.' General Gordon has viewed this - proposition with favor, and will accede, should the requisite au thority be vested in him by the various cor porations ' and municipalities within the South. It is well known that European capitalists have grown weary of railroad and mining swindles which the North and West have been loading them with for years, and would' like to find safer and more reputable investments. For some time1 they have been looking towards the South as offering a fair field, but no ad vance having been made by our section, no enterprise was adventured." .
