The session of Congress closed aft II began, with the Iwo parties occupying relations to politics altogether unpre cedented since the war. During the entire eight months In which this Congress has been sitting, there has not been a single division in either house, on any question wbkK involved a governmental principle, in which party lines have distinguished the votes. The most important legisla tion of the session has been that relat ing to the finances. Upon every occa sion when this question has divided either house, in any one of Its multi tudinous forms, repnblicans have voted with democrats and democrats with republicans, on both fides. The tariff Is no longer a party question, as Fer> nando Wood discovered to his discom fiture. The Southern question has ceased to present any phase upon which the two parties can rigidly di vide. The great and .undeveloped question of internal improvements finds its strongest advocates and oppo nents on either side. Nothing iu fact divides the parties--so far as we can trace any difference in the records of this Congress--save the organizations themselves, and the traditlous which belong to each. There have been strict party divi sions In both houses, on several occa sions. It was substantially a party vote in the Senate which admitted Kellogg to the seat from Louisiana. But It was a contest which the republicans entered upon to show that they were •till a party, and to save a remnant of their supremacy in the upper house.-- At the otherend of the capltol, the democrats all voted for Field for door keeper, because he Was their caucus nominee, and not because he sympa thised with any peculiar views of gov ernment which they held in antagon ism to the republicans. ItC likfe man ner they all voted for the Potter reso lution, though fully half their number disapproved of it as a party measure. To have voteel against It would have been to show that even the tie of or ganization no longer binds them to gether. If there had been any real Issue upon which the democrats could ippeal to the country for support in the coming canvas, they would not have attempted to make an issue by reviving and perpetuating the cry of "'raud." That cry already begins to re-echo so feebly that Its failure as a rallying slogtu is thus early foreshad owed. In the midst of thoughtful* legisla tion, unrestrained demagogism, par tisan virulence and communistic ten dencies ill-concealed, there have been individuals who have shown them selves better than the Influences which surrounded tiiem; and he must be a blind reader of events who has not seen that the greater portion of these individuals are to be found In the ranks of the republican party. Be cause no great issues separate the two parties, as before and during the war* It does not follow that the country is equally safe in the keeping of either. The events of the winter have forci bly demonstrated that the patriotic conservatism of the nation Is now to be chiefly found among the republi cans. This is especially true In all matters which relate to the national finances. Weakness and infatuation have not been wanting among repub licans in Congress, in connection with the financial legislation of the winter: but the majority lias always been found on the side of conservatism and honesty, while the majority of the democrats have always been arrayed upon the other side. The politics of the nation is per plexed just now, not alone by the ab- sense of marked dividing lines be tween the old parties, but by the spread of a new party which gains its only strength from its alliance with all that in finances and its catering to commun istic remedies for the prostration of the times. Between this party and the democrats we can find little differ ence by comparing the words of the one with the acts and votes of the other. If stability and conservatism are within our reach at all, we must secure them through the continued success of the republican party. There is a radical difference between the old parties In this respect--a difference which can not be outlined in a plat form, for it Is a diflerenc more of char acter than of declaration. It is be cause this distinction has been em phasized by the events of^-the winter, that we are able to enter \h$ canvass with so much confidence that It will result in the election of a republican House of Representatives. SHOW TOOK BAND. A representative government la based upon the theory that the people have in their power the selection of their representatives, and the direction of the policy of the government on all important qnestiers. It is a notorious fact that tinder our present party sys tems they have neither. Party con ventions represent no one but political aspirants. Party platforms ignore vi tal questions, through fear of putting In jeopardy the election of the candi dates. Both parties in the campaign of 1876 followed this "good Lord, good devil" policy, and the people were de prived of a voice in the only questions in which they were interested. Under the leadership of Jim Blaine the Re publican party fought the campaign on the dead issues of the war, and very nearly lost by the ballot what had been before decided by force of arms. The campaign capital was all made through the circulation of the belief that the South meant treason. We want no more of that. It has solidified and embittered the South. It was dis proved bj^the vote of the Southern members on the Electoral Commission when they had it in their power to inaugurate revolution. The issues of the war are dead Let them be burled. The live cannot be Ignored.--Pott. ; The New Preccu of Vlwsr ttafcfnijij;'s'i"' Almost every body knows of the flour, but not every one understands what it Is. Striped of technicalities, this is perhaps the story of its manu facture. The best flour used tp be made of winter wheat. Spring wheat yielded either much less In quantity, or else so much of the bran got into the flour in its manufacture that Its color was Intolerably dark. The wheat would be ground and then bolted. In the refuse--the bran and middlings- would be included a large proportion of the weight of the spring wheat, and this would sell more particularly for feed for horses. Now the best of flour and the most expensive, |t made of this very refuse of the ol|! fashioned process. It all came out of ! a discov ery of a way to draw out tjhe bran.-- Under the new process the wheat is ground about as before. , The result Is an ordinary flour sold for transporta tion. Then the remainder is taken and put upon great horizontal sieves, and while agitation is going on there an Ingenious system of draughts, rushing up through, carries off the bran. What is left is the glutinous portion of the wheat, the most nutri tious and most productive fMu-Jt of the wheat, and out of this, purlfled now by the drawing off of the bran, we get our new process flour. \ The result of the discovery of the. process has been to make the poor spring wheat of Minnesota and upper Wisconsin the most valuable kind of grain, and to make the fortunes of the inventors of the method.--Hartford CourcuU. Sard flutes the Best for Young lbs Starting Young men coming upon the siage of active life during the present hard times are more likely to become per manently successful than those who made their advent In business, during the period of inflation, of high prices and of fabulous nominal profits. The great reason of this is that young men who begin now, form their business management and personal habits, from necessity, on principles of rigid econo my. These In the long run tell so power fully as to make, In many cases, the difference between failure and suc cess. Men who began when every thing was at the top find It very em barrassing to come down and adapt themselves and their business to the times that try men's purses, as war Is said to try their souls; whereas, those who commence when economy is the order of the day, find no difficulty whatever in starting upon an economi cal basis, and. once started, it will be easy to adhere to it. So that, for young men just embarking for them selves, we may almost assert the para dox that hard times are the best.--Chi- cagoFa*t. THE HABIT OF OBEYING.--Boys the habit of obeying at.once Is one of the best habits In the world. It makes prompt, active, energetic business men. Why, It is "now, at once, right off," that leads all the work to the .world, and gets the pay for it too. A. boy that is prompt and ready will be just the boy that will get reoomended rora place In a warehouse or an office, and when he gets the place he will keep it until he gets promoted, till he becomes a member of the firm, probably its manag^*. All this because he is en hand, ready and promptly sees what Is ready to be done, and is ready to do it.

Thirty-three factories to-day offer 4,883 u«xs« cheese, mostly May make, of these there were 3,185 cheese sold direct, in lots and at prlccs as fellows: Four lots aggregating 651 boxes at 7} cents; six lots, 651, at 7| cent*; ten lots. 1.132 at 7| cents; one lot, 180, at ?f cents, and one lot aggregating 670 boxes at 8 cents. There were also 5 lots consigned amounting to 1.750 boxes. These along with the direct sales make a grand total of 4,934 cheese which will be shipped, with the excep tion of two lots aggregating 500cheese to the New York market, the first of this week. - Freight on cheese was reduced Sat urday to 40 cents per hundred at all points north of Plerrepont Manor, Cape Vincent and Ogdensburgh. At such a time as this, dairymen will ap preciate a reduction, with thanks to the officer* of the R. W. & O. R. R. NKW YORK, July 1st, 1S78. A few special sales of colored cheese have been made at 6|cM and of white at 8|c., but these by no means repre sented the general market. The proper quotations for the latter part of the week were $c. below these pri ces. The arrivals were simply enor mous. Only once in the history of the market have they been exceeded.-- That was during the week ending July 95,1875. That week the receipts ran up to 131,797 boxes, and the price dropped oft fc. the succeeding week. In consequence, The exports of the same week were only 92,551 boxes, bet on the following week they amounted to 113,091 boxes, thus coming within 1,790 boxes of the exports of last week* which we believe to be the largest on reoord. The top price should be quo ted at 8) cents. tffrtfA, July 1st, WWt There were 50 lots entered upon the register, aggregating 8,86'2-*a larger entry than there was last week. But the lots were larger also< two tot them numbering together- tipwafd of 1,000 boxes. The outright stiles of the day are larger even than they were last week, the commission 4h#ese being less In number. LlTTt* TAtlJI, Ju ty 1st 18*"& The difference between tthfte and colored cheese, noticed laist week,' was still marked to-day, therd being about Jc. In favor of colored stock; It was stated here to-day that two lots of colored fancy stock last week sold at 8ft\, but to-day we believe this price was not reached. Forty boxes were sold at 7}c.;65,at 7fc.; 1,835 at 8c.; 100 at 8Jc.; 8,017 at 8}c.; 83 at 8fc.; 1,130 at 6}c.; 3,871 sent on commission. Twenty-one tubs of butter were sold from 15c. to 18c. aversge price 16c. BOSTON, July 1st, 1S78. Butter remains the same; choice grades continue In demand; we quote sales at 16@19c. for choice New York and Vermont; 18@20c. for creameries; and 13@15c. for fair to good. Cheese is in steady demand at 6<$8}c. for fair and prime, and 3@5c. for common.-- Eggs are In fair demand at 15c. for Eastern. 14|@15e. for Northern, an& 19 @13§ for Western. MTThe L ondon Examiner says that a well-known old university boatman and athlete tells the following against himself: He was lately walking with three companions along the Thames towing path, when they were overtak en by a shower and drenched to the skin. Repairing to a small riverside inn, they ordered the best cheer In the house, and a large fire, around which they gathered in the parlor. In the adjoining taproom were two damp bargees, who also wanted to enjoy the fire, but when the four gentleman saw this they gathered elose round it and shut the bargees, out. One of the lat ter presently walked up to the fire and spat into it over the heads of thuse around it, saying to his comrade: "When swells Is about, Bill, It ain't peril to to spit on the floor," Where upon one of the four turned to the spltter and asked: "Pray, where may you come from my fine fellcw ?" "Hell,'* was the curt riply. "And what's the last thing there in good manners "Same as here--the swells are keeping all the lire to themselves. te-We hate to have a lawyer die.
