CABINET MAKING. The parties engaged in making a Cabi net for General Garfield, will d.. well to read the following: “I am a rear friend of Mr. Garfield and I believe I understand his position as well as anybody, I don’t believe the General knows the name of a single member of his cabinet as yet. This talk about a Conkling, Logan and Cameron allianeg i ded nonsense. Mr. Garfield will be guided solely by his own honest ¢.isic tions in the matter. There is a very gev eral belief that Mr. Sherman will be re tained in his present position, but this I consider unwarranted also. If Mr. Sher man is retained the rest will be. he cabinet will either remain just as it is or undergo an entire change.”—[Edwin Cowles of the Cleveland Leader in inter view. Edwin Cowles of the Cleveland Leaper is a man who knows what he talks about every time. Here is something further: Treasury Dep't, Wasatheton, Nov. 5. To the Hon. J. M. Dalzell, Caldwell, Ohio: My Dear Sir: Your kind note of the 14th is received, for which please accept my thanks. I prefer to do precisely as you recommend, await the judgment of the General Assembly of Ohio, unbrassed by any expression of my wish in the mat ter referred to. I do not know what is the desire of General Garfield, or I can see that my election might relieve him from embarrassment, and leave him free to do if he thinks beat in the formation of his Cabinet. Again thanking you for your kind offer, I am very truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN. That John Sherman, the ablest minis ter of finance in the history of our coun try, will surrender the portfolio of the Treasury, and be chosen by the General Assembly of Ohio to the seat made vacant by the man who goes to the White House, we have scarce a shadow of doubt. That General Garfield will make his own Cabinet, and that the most eminent men in America, Blaine, Sherman, Conk ling, Grant, Logan, and, last, not least, Rutherford B. Hares will be consulted, we venture nothing in predicting. After consultation, as able a man as any who ever came to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, and one as well qualified as the best to choose his counsellors, will de side what to do. The Cabinet will be made by President Garfield, and will be as able as that of Abraham Lincoln or Rutherford B. Hayes, and that will answer, A. WN, COLE Editor Tia here that we all in Our Easy Chair, With face to the petting Kon, And think of the dreamme so early dreamed, When the journey has first bein, Of all the work we have found to do, And the trte that we have done, @olat times we feel tke ctopping the wheels, And the going dven of the sun, That the foal grain may not drop out, From the sun,is Go running away, Til ininhed our work, and fully played out, is the part we have arriven to play, Westreco, Wasmorn Co., Mass, NovEMBER 8, 1880. It is early morning, and we seat our self in an easy chair handed un by Mrs. B., a nice lady, with pregeant ways of ways, caving, ‘Sit there, Mr. C., at that desk, with pen, ink and paper, and you shall write and tell the readers of the Free Press about Westfield, Holyoke, Springfield, the Connecticut Valley, our paper and pulp mills and factories, which, buay in their industries, make music amid the fall of waters, the din of hammers and the hum of locks and spindles, as run our rivers down to the sea,” or words to that effect. ‘‘Mother will tell you all about it, give you the points,” continued Mrs. B. Now, Mrs. B.’s mother, Mrs. K., is a most intelligent and interesting lady of fifty, and, in certain regards, brings back shadows of her who died, nor was permitted to remain to see realized, what looks to-day like the fruition of hopes long and fondly cherished. On Friday last was it, at Albany, the Commissioners of the land office of the State of New York did, in obedience to statute, ordain and decree, that convey ance should be made to the Genesee Val ley Canal Railroad Company, of all the right, title and interest of the common wealth of New York, in and to the banks and prism of the Genesee Valley Canal. It’s a marvelous tale, and cond its se cret history be written, of the seven years of work to realize this grand result, with the tides of fortune now flowing, and of what seemed fate more frequent ebbing, it would be a story so wonderful, that scarce anybody could be found to credit it. Nor will the time ever come to tell the story, since no good could now come in the telling, and so it is that we bury in memories of the dead past, the ethies and struggles through which love passed since the work began. Nor yet has the time come to more than faintly outline the shadows of what would it present seem well assured as regards the future of our Beautiful Valley. To him of the Easy Chair, little hence does it betide what shall come of it all, be it either of fortune, or of fate. The hoar frosts, in mirror faithfully reflected, with furrows daily deepening, tell the story. In that little spot on the banks OF THE BEAUTIFUL RIVER, amid the fading of flowers, the sera of verdure and fall of the withered and yel low leaf, buried have been the loves, and blighted the fondest of earthly hopes, as seen in dreams by night, and visions by day, eternal and always present. At last our work seems well nigh done, and were it not for lingering hopes and loved ones remaining, would lay down the pen, nor again take it up to conclude the telling of the story. We do not like to say it, since it looks like complaining; but it has been fearfully rough, causing us to feel as did Job's wife. Our boy has gone back to his post in the metropolis, and with arm no longer strong for the fight, nor heart all full of hope, as in days agone, we once more take up the pen to fight out the bat tle. One thing we have a right to ask, that the parties to be immeasurably ben efitted shall aid rather than embarrass us. Along the Genesee and Allegheny valleys, connecting the Iron and Flour cities, will soon be seen a great railway. This is not all. The silence of the grave, pervading the entire length of the dead and aban doned. Genesee Valley Canal, from the Cuba Summit to the neighborhood of Lake Ontario, is to be long awake to a life so new and wondraye as to convince the friends and enemies alike of OUR JIUMBLE FRES PRESS that they have been building better than they knew. Ito enemies, especially in the river towns, have done quite as much as its friends to hold it to the work in hand. The parries who did their utmost to starve and crash it out, have not lgn withon their woe. ‘These have by their ostracisims and perscations only incited to are cetertuised endeavors, and the y nore have solerht to crush and bail, the imaye have made alive. ‘Be our friend , we cannot see profonusthy express our thanks. These have stood faithfully by and yet, scaree one has anbacribed for and sided the paper, where an hundred should have done no. To the resurrected FREE PRESS AND FARMER are the populations of the Clonesee Valley almost wholly indebted for the prospects of today. Within a year longer at far thest, as it now seems certain, the railroad will be completed and running between Rochester and Olean. Another year will not probably elapse, before the exten sion will be made to Pittsburg, by way of Millgrove. Three years are not likely to pass before Millgrove and Wellsville will be closely connected. Belmont and Belfast will be linked also together. — From Wellsville, reaching out over the divide of waters between the sources of the Genesee and Pine Creek, will be seen iron bands, connecting Wellsville and Williamsport, the lakes and the ocean, by way of NATURE'S GOLDEN GATE. Here, amid the rugged rocks and moun tains of Western Massachusetts, we sit to day, writing. There are voices heard on yet only in faintest whisper, giving pro mise of something richer in store than so much as dreamed of by doubting prophets who, in their short line and like delu sions, have been doing their utmost to defeat any line at all. We know they did not thus mean, that they intended all right, and yet, while it's a rough way of telling it, it is a truth neverless, that TELL 18 PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS. Mrs. K. has been telling us all about the silence coming among the industries of New England, when came near six months ago the shadows of that terrible water famine, since seen in eternest real ity. So long as the rivers run down to the sea, so long must the munsic of the wheel, the mill, the Toam and spindl, mingle with the fall of the waters. Alon the valleys of the Genesee and Allegheny will that music be heard, when hushed in silence shall be the voices of men and ma chinery heard in the multitudes of today. We have broken loose again, said more than had dreamed of saying when began, but could our readers know so much as xu tithe of the impulses and inspiration: surrounding, they would not wonder. The beginning of the end is aa yet set only in the dimmest discerment. WAIT A LITTLE LONCETR, THE CENSUS, Rome Pertinent Observations on the Southern Question, General Walker has astonished the country. He tells us that the figures of 1870 was largely at error in the South, and that the figures dhteined by the re cent emmeration are correct iv every re spect. Let us recall what there it oirey are. They show in all--not one or the —of the Southern States an increase in population since the last census, amounnt ing inceme cases to more than 74 per cent. They show that the North States, with their busy manufaeterians thriving mercantile and mechaanical in dustries and rural pursuits, have gained hardly half the per cent shown by their Southern neighbors. This condition of things, they say, is due to the tide of im migration which has of late been setting strongly Southward. Every man who has any knowledge of the South knows that this is a lie. It is best to be plain in speaking of this matter. It is a serious question and should be met fairly.That great many people have gone to Texas and some to the Virginias of Jute in true. But Task who knows of a single North ern family that has gone to Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, or in fact any of the Southern States save those mentioned. Must we look to foreign immigration then to account for this wonderful growth in numbers? The facts do not warrant us in attributing a very large influx to these States from foreign lands. But a few hundreds have taken up their home in Virginia, which presents as great inducement as any Southern State. But taking the most liberal view of the matter possible we know that the census of the great West, to which section foreigners are pouring c continually shows no such astonishing figures as comes to us from the conserva tive South. To offset the small number of people who actually do go to the South with the intention of making it their home there is the large number of colored people who are making their way out of their condition of Sondays which really began when the war ended. The result of this state of things is truly alarming. Were there a healthy inti mate growth in the South it would be hailed, as the issuing of that portion of our country from the shadow which has long hung over it. But such a growth would necessarily be attended with an ttngement of true Rejecobean senti ment.

THE PERILS OF EHE BEA, New York, Oct 31.—The steamship California, from London, reports that on the 29th, she sighted the British bark Macedonia water-logged and helpless in the waves. A boat lowered from the steamer was unable, on account of the heavy sea, to approach the bark closely, and the crew on the latter, numbering eleven, seemed panic-stricken and none tried to reach the boat, though a lue was thrown from the bark to the boat.— As night was approaching the boat was obliged to return to the steamer, which it did with great difficulty. The steamer hove to all night, but in the morning nothing was to be seen of the distressed vessel. The fate of the crew is unknown. Two years ago the merchants and man ufacturers of the United States exuited over the fact that their produces was beating English merchandise out of the field—not only in foreign markets but on John Bull's own ground. The lower prices of the goods sent hence dazzled the English trader and led him to prefer the imports of Ancle 8am to the outcome of his own looms and foundries. But the triumph has been shortlived. The trade returns of Great Britain now show an im provement on the other side of the At lantic as striking as the depression on this. American goods are at a discount. The fact and its cruses are worth the at tention of our people. We beat the Eng lish in appearances. Our clothes and iron wares have a brightter, fresher and more tempting aspect than those of the old country, and weesk lower prices, — ulas,in all physical esmtests, Lloyd tells, so, in merenutile @omapetvieg, aboda mictertae that carries the day.
