As our readers are already awa • the regulations adopted at the C vention held in Seafordt last we for the proper inspection of butt go into operation on Monday ne Nov. 11. On and after that da • therefore, all butter brought in • market will be subjected to a rift inspection, will be branded by t Inspector, and bought by the me chants and dealers only on the In- spector'a tertificate or brand. We are glad to learn that the merchants of nearly all the villages in the County have signified their entire satisfaction with the. _idles adopted at the Convention, and their inten- tion to be guided by them. 'We , trust that the farmers will be equal- ly unanimous in their approval of these regulations, and that they will do all in their power to assist in making them operative, and thus strengthen the hands of those who are endeavoring to ' raise the stan- dard of this most important branch of agricultural production. By s0. doing they will confer a benefit, not • alone upon the dealer, but upon themaelves also. All who have had any- canneetion with the butter busi- ness know that heretofore there hal been an immense amount of very inferior butter produced and sold. Why this should be the case we are at a loss co_conceive, except that the prevalent custom among -dealers of peeing as high a price for inferior as for good has had the, effect of mak- ing some careless. There is no ex- cuse for any person producing bad butter. The production of butter is entirely different from the grow- ing of cereals. The farmer maytill . his land as carefully as possible, and bestow upen it all the labor and time necessary, and still grow- a very - infetior sample of barley or oats. But such is not the ease in the pro- duction of butter. • If ordinary care is taken, and cleanliness observed, a good quality of butter- can at all times be produced. Of course, dur- , ing certaila seasons of 'the year, the artiele may be of a richer quality and of a better color than at others, but still at all seasons the quality may be good if proper care be taken. We are justified, therefore, in con- cluding, that the inferior article, of which we see so ranch in our mark- ets, is the result of gross careless- ness. Well, is it right pr just, that those who, through carelessness or _ lack of. thrift to provide the neces- sary appliances, manufacture a -dis- gracefully inferior quality of butter, should receive as much for it as those who use every precaution and calm to Make it what it should be There is no reasoiaable person/ who will maintain for a moment that it is. The object of this movement, then, is to overcome this injustice, and. it should be supported by every honest and right-thinking person, The principal wholesale market which we in Canada have to depend upon for our butter- is in Europe. In former years, the inferior butter was bought there by the working classes at a low price, as they were so poorly remunerated for their la- bor that they. were unable to pur- chase .the good article for a high price. Our dealers • succeeded in gaining sale for all their butter, both bad and good. Of course they did not realize as high a figure for the bad Efts for the good, but the large • marg,in they received on the good e 'generally made up for the small margin on the bad. So long as this state of affairs continued they got e along very comfortably, -and were o enabled to make the two ends meet p by paying .an equal price for all e grades, although, in so doing, they s did an injustice to the producer of I., the good article. Because, had they t only paid for the poor article its m value, they could have paid a much T higher figure than they did for the t good. But anything for a quiet life. m So long asethe dealers could swim a along, and make a reasonable profit n on their butter, taken as whole, b 'without offending a customer by tell- d inaithim that he made bad butt -r,-• j or that he put salt in his butter to G. make it weigh heavy, their con- m themes did not seem to reprove m them for the injustice they were in- ra flitting upon their customer whci was m a good butter maker. Now, nOvi- in over, things are changed: Within th the past year or two t working to cla.sses in Europe have taken new ideas into their heads They -have concluded that they have worked long enough at starvation prices, and they must have something better. Accordingly they made a demand for higher wages,. which was ac- ceded to. The workmen relish good butter as well as their masters, and now that they receive good wages, they are able to buy it, and they will have it. The 'result is, that good botter is in active de- mand at high prices, whereas bad is unsaleable except for grease. For this reason, merchants are forced to deal in a good article or mine at all. They cannot do as they formerely did, because the inferior article they cannot sell, except at grease prices, and their margin on the good is not sufficiently large to cover the lesion the bad when they buyall at an equal re, rate.' During the past year dealers on- have learned this fact by sad experi- ek-t once. Ph -ere is not one who has et, bought on the equality system, and xt, who has paid the current rates, who will not lose heavily. It is the Y' realization of this fact, at the close to of the season's trade, that prompts id , the present movement., - he _ The effect ef this change in. the 1_ European market cannot fail to be. advert tageous to the producer of good butter. The demand for good but- ter being -greater the price will nattirally be higher. So that. now, when the local dealer buys, as he sells, according to quality, the pro- ducer of the good article will receive. a higher price than ever -before, and the producer of the. poet- . article a lower. Thi-ts encouragement will. be given to all to excel. When the producer of the grease quality finds that he can only obtain grease price, he will not be long in corning to the conclusion that it vvill not pay, and will be compelled either to abandon • the business entirely, or turn over a new leaf, and practice care and cleanliness, as well at his neighbor, who makes money outof the •bitsi- nes& By this means the character of our -b-utter will be immensely rais- ed in the foreign markets, and' our producers 'wili. be vastly better re- munerated for their labors. New Normal Schools. It is now .ptetty generally under- stood that dating the forthtoming session, the Government of Ontario will bring down -a bill; asking the , sanction of the Legislature for the establishment 4 two additional Net - mai. Schools in the Province Where these sehools will be locate is, of course, as yet, a Matter o pure speculation. Indeed,. it i more than probable.that the Govern ment have not yet decided upon this point themselves. There i considera.ble rarife, among various towns -and cities, as to which shal be the favored one. For the_ pas two or three weeks the Governmen have been heseiged with delegations from various qttat ters setting, iforth the benefits, beauties and attractions of their several' localities. As Seat forth is not one of the ambitious places, we consider that we o.ccupy a position to give an unbiased opin- ion as to where these institutions Sheuld be located. i In locating poblic institudons such as those referred to, the -Gov- ernment should divest i themselves of all political ensiderations. These iestitutions are ereeted :for the pub- lic good, with ipublic, money, and should be located in the Most --con- venient and sUitable places, no matter wheth‘r these places be found in, Conservative or Reform constituencies. I That the present Govertarnent pursue this course we fully believe. If they do not, they are unworthy of the Confidence of the people. One of the principal objections to the late Sand-field-Mac- donald's aover4mexit was its axe - grinding s, polity --bestowing upon constituenciee which supported them special favors, aind witholding from constituencies opposed to them their rights. Such al course of conduct the people of this Province will. not tolerate, and it i would be •wise and prudent for the present- adrninietra- don to act in 8uch a manner that ven the seinblance of favoritism may not be charged to them. It may be said, that the power of ex- rcising favoritiSm. in the selection' f these sites isiren3oved from the resent GovernMent, as all their det isions in such Matters have to be .ubrititted for the approval of the egielature.„This is true to a cer- aim extent; but it is the Govern- ent that leads the Legislature. he rnakethe rItecommendation tol he House, and upon that recotnt endation they stake their existence s a Govern.menti If the House do ot endorse tlat4 recommendation, y their failutetto so endorse it they eclare want of 'confidence in the udgment and 4iscretion • of the overnment. Thus, although many ay feel that a recommendation ay not be a 1. proper one, yet, ther than sacrifice the - Govern- ent, and declare want of C--onfidence them for a slight fault, in view of eir- many virtues, they will vote endorse the recommendation. It. --. • --, — - TFIE CIRO N EXPOSITOR thus be men'that in reality, the Governmhaveent ave the selection in their own hands, and if they do not make the proper one, they, and not. the Legislature, should be held mainly responsible. With regard to the selectionof sites for these Nornilal Schools, the Government should keep in view the general pubtiq convenience, without reference to political oonsid- erations at all. They should be lo- cated in .places most accessible, and to which communication is most easy: If possible the -larger cities should be-avei(ted. For institutions of this kind, cheapness of living, to- gether with due regard for the health and morality of 'Students should e a chief consideration. In the rural , towns, liviug is always much cheaper than in the cities, students would not be 80 liable to be thrown in the way of contagion, and the temptations.of evil corn pan are not nearly OL great. These, therefore, are considerations which should weigh heavily with the Gov- ernment in favor of locating the in. stitutions in some of the mote cen tral towns. There are towns whith have asked for the location which are as conveniently and centrally lo- cated as any of the cities. From them, then, the selection should be. made. "' We notice it18 reported that the school for the Eastent 'part of the Province is to be located. in Ottawa. We do not think, however, there can be any truth in this. report. We cannot see what claims Ottawa has to it. It is not centraily 'situat- ed, nor1 is it easy of access. For this reason, then, we do .not think it will be selected. There could be - none other than political considera- tions to induce the Government.to locate it there, and we have more confidence in them than to believe that they will attempt to use the location of these educational institu- tions to serve political. ends. !The Presidential Election. he election for the Presidency of the United States took place on Tutsday last, aid, as everybody ex- pected, General Grant was le -elected for another -'term.', The coalition formed for his defeat between the Democratic party .and dissatisfied Republicans, with Horac Greeley at its head, has been a most complete failure. The result shows that the American , people still • regard with distrust the Democratic party and all who illy themselves with it, and that they prefer in their Chief Ma- gistrate .the stolid stupidity of a Grant to the erratic brilliancy of a Greeley. The •effect of this election on political parties in 4the States is a matter for conjecture. Will the Democrats be demoralized by their repeated failures, or Will `their ill- succ,ess be a lesson to them to re- construct their part on a new basis of progressive principles and live issues? The Republicans; on the other hand, from the demoralizing influence of unlimited patronage, aro in great dangerofbecoming so utter- ly corrupt as to forfeit all claims on public confidence, and whether vir- pue enough is left in the party to overcomethis-peril is a question for the future. The greatest loser in the contest will be , Mr. Horace Greeley himself. Henceforward he will be politically dead. He has lost his position iu the Republican party without isecurina .one among the Democrats, and hereafter none will be so poor as do him honor. NEWS OP OF THE WEEK. Bismarck has been • trying the ..English game on his House of Lords and has created a number of new peers, in order to carry through a bill styled the Country Reform bill. The trial of Marshal Bazaine; for his surrender of Metz to the Ger- mans in the late war, is now going on in Paris. Witnesses to the num- ber of 240 have been summoned. The horse disease has alleady trav- elled across the Atlantic; and has ap- peared in Devonshire, England. It is vety severe at Tiverton. • - A great mass meetinttbwas held in Hyde Park, London,on Sunday last, and resolutions Were pasted demand- ing an amnesty for the Fenian con- victs. There was no disturbance, and no attempt was made by the authorities to interfere with the pro- ceedings ' France has paid to Germany this week 200,000,000 francs,-820,000,- 000,—and will continae to make similar instalments until the end of the year, so that on the 1st of Janu- ary Only two millions of the war in- demnity will remain unpaid. Notwithstanding the extreme pre- cautionary measures taken by the authorities of Chicago,to prevent the horse disease reaching that city, late reports announce that all efforts have proved unavailing. All ordinary means of locomotion have been stop- ped, and oxen are now generally used for the delivery of goods and other purposes. The Empetor of Russia has writ- ten an autograph letter to Prince itharles, brother of the Eniperor of Germany, on the oecasion of the 50th anniversary of Mit appointment Lo the honorary coloneloy of Russian regiment.' The Czar ealli to mind the glorious deeds of the allied ar- mies of Prussia and Russia, when fighting in. -the holy cause, and hopes the ties of friendsnip between the countries Will endd re for generations. Stanley, the discoverer of Dr. Livingstone, is expected to arrive in Washington on dab 18th 'inst. He will there be entertained at a din- ner given by the citizens, for which extensive preparations are now being macU. - A despatch from Pekin announ- ces that the Emperor of China was married on the 16th October. There was no outside ceremony other than' the procession which escorted the bride from her reeidence to the Im- perial Palace. Demonstrations against closing of saloons in. Liverpool duringeer- tain hours of Sunday, which were begun. last week, were resumed on Sunday last. - At one place in the city a crowd, numbering ten thous- and persons, which was being ad- dressed by speakers in opposition to the Act, was dispersed by the police. The golden wedding of the Ring and Queen of Sax's:my was celebra- ted at Dresden on Monday last,with splendid and imposing ceremonies. The occasion .was made remarkable by the presence of the Emperor, Empress and Cloven Prince of Ger- many, who thus gave proof of the coMplote restoration of good feeling between the German and Saxon courts. 1111/111INIMINNIIINI FROM CHICAGO. The Resurrection oy the City—What the NeWsimpers are Doing—A, Fight Over the Sunday Liquor Law. - Nov. 1, 1872. In the West we have for two 'months or more been enjoying almost uninter- -rupted sunshine. Scarcely any rain has fallen in many weeks, and the beautiful, misty dreamy days of Indian Summer still stay with us as if frosts and snow were never to Come, just such ,a sun- light as streamed down ) A YEAR 1.00 upon miles and miles of ruins, and with the haze of the Wien Summer was mingled the smoke of our; smouldering homes and plebes ' of business. We thought then .that five, ten, and twenty years would elapse before anything like the old beauty Would returit. Now we see more elegant struetureathan before, completedand filled i'with buyers and sellers, and along the thoroughfares lately heaped with ruin a busy, cheerful tide of life flowing from morning to night. • THE LABOR Autty. Nowhere else in the world, I suppose, cen such a sight be seen as that which meets the eye here whgn the' day is dosing. Station yourself near the river on , Madison, Randolph, Lake, Clark, State or any of the great thoroughfares keeling from the "burnt district," at 6 o'clock, and for an hour you will see a wonderful tide of travel setting home- ward, masons, carpenters, lathers, plas- hucktererstakaieters, digger* plumbers, sters with Weir vehicles, Men allgriney with mud and dust and mortar, jammed into cars, packed on the ,tops of oumi- , busses, but mostly all tramping through the encumbered streets and over the un- equal sidewalks -the great army that is so rapidly overcoming the forces of the elem.ents and marking the battle field with the Proudest monuments. All carry dinner pails • -many bear on their should- ers bundles of short boards or "bosses," of timbers given them by their which they are taking home for their evening's fire. They are -tired and sober from their day's toil among' foundations and among rafters, and they have most of them two, three, and even live miles to walk, and they plod on almost in silence tramp, tramp, tramp the great army of labor without which brain and capital are Powerless. It gives one a new idea of the might of muscle, and scares him' to think what what might happen if this vast body of men, mostly ignorant and unreasoning, should ,rise in their might and come down upon the representatives of what the consider their great. enemy—' capital." But, fortunately, muscle here has, as a gen- eral thing, been peaceable anci content, and there has been no sighs or hint or organized disorder. WINTER QUARTERS. But what is going to become of this great army when winter shall have fairly set in, •and in .great measure stopped their labers-t- Soiree will continue to find employment, for the work of. re- building will notsbe entirely given up, even when the mercury drops below zero. Some have prudently saved enough from their wages to be able to live awhile without work, some will go elsewhere and seek occupation, and many will stay and be hungry and cold and miserable; haunt the relief society by day and the rum holes by night, and for lack of anything else to do, engage in drunken brawls, robbery and shooting affrays, and occasional murders, and -keep the police busy and the station houses full. We dread the winter sore- ly, and are thankful for every continu- ed baliny day that keeps our masters, the labor army, busy. BEER VERSUS SUNDA.Y. The Presidential campaign has lost its interest witli us just now in comparison with the new issues lately raised of dos- ing the drinking places on Sunday. The Mayor has been stirred up by a number of zealous citizens in an effort to enforce the almost obsolete ordinance for this purpose, and he finds it no small under- taking to oppose the .2,200 -saloons and their thousands of supporters. Strange- ly enough, however, the worst dens— the whiskey holes, whence have come most of the murders and, outrages—op- pose but little resistance, and the whis- key drinkers—fight-loving Irishinen— are pretty general in admitting that it would do everybody good to have the drinking places closed on the Sabbath. But the Germans, young and old, rich and poor, educated and illiterate, to the number of nearly a hundred thousand, are crying out against the ." fanaticism" and puritanism" and " outrage " of this attack upon their most cherished • custom, and some of them even threaten A violent opposition to the law. The experiment of enforcing the prohibition has been held two Sundays with very good success, nearly all the saloons hav- ing been closed, and the streets present- ing an unusual appearance of quiet, but still it evil" prove a difficult job to keep the Teuton entirely from his beloved Jager. Our local elections will turn very largely upon that question, both tem- perance and anti -temperance people hav- ing tickets in the field, and hence the result in Cook County will be neither a Grant or a Greeley triumph. 1 OUR NEWSPAPERS. ChiCego is well eeupplied: with daily papers, 'having now twelve—eight Eng- lish, three German, and one Scandina- vian, " The Tribune celebrated the Fire Anniversary " by being printed again in its own building, a magnificent five story brown stone structure, much finer than the one destroyed, taking that occasion also to appear as a seven column folio sheet, equal in size to the largest New York daily, and inferior, it is thought here to none anywhere. Although the Tribune espoused what is generally con- ceded to be the "lost cause -in the Presidential cantest, its advertising pat- ronage continues enormous, and its prof- it the past year are said to have been nearly enough to pay forits quarter cf a million building. The Times is still printed in a wonder- ful one story in length and five stories in height shanty on Adams street, but its fine stone building on Washington street is 'rapidly rising, and in a few months it will be splendidly located. Determined not to be outdone, it will soon enlarge to the same size as the Trzbune. It has long been beating round towards Republican- ism, and has done 'Genera,' Grant good service by violently opposing Mr. Gree- ley, andit is though by many that it will come out as the "great Republican organ" to take the place resigned by the Liberalized Tribitne. - The Inter -Ocean, the successor to the ill-fated keleublican, is gaining ground in spite of its watery head, and is likely to prove a permanent and profitable institu- tion, achieving that result in an unusu- elly short time. This Shows what money will do. The Staats Zeitung, almost the only German paper in the west which has . ad- hered to the Republican party, has lost none of its strength as is indicated bythe fact that its proprietors have nearly com- pleted a fine seven story building, oppo- site the new Times building on Washing- ton street. The Evening. Journal is erecting a handsome building on Dearborn street and. is flourishing in a calm, conservative way. The Evening Nail is growing in grace and favor every day, although but about two years old, is already recognized as upon a successful foundation. It has recently purchased a four cylinder Hoe press, and is now able to supply all de- mands. - The News, stertedas a morning paper to labor for Mr. Greeley, after a while Clanged ,over into an. evening issue, and presently was reduced one column. It rs having a pretty hard struggle, and is learning the lesson "Put not your trust in politicians." It may get a fresh start, however. The Sun, an evening paper, the Union and :Freie P1'483, German, and. a new Scandinavian daily, complete the list. They are none of them growing iadepen- dently wealthy, but manage to keep bravely on; hoping for a relaxation in the present stringency of fmancial affairs. Pale. Horsetilities. Jones says his potatoes have got it,— they are watery at the eye. — It is expected that orders will soon be issued by the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals to have all saw -horses comfortably blanketed. — A correspondent writes to know if this is the equine ex-ial-storm. This conundrum is bad enough to make a horse laugh. —Nobody has been seen for several days, amoag the high or low, genteel or vulgar, who couldn't and didn't "talk horse." -- The paradoxical statement is made that enervated pedestrians are sighing for the ex -horse -ted condition of the market. - -i- It is itt no spirit of horse-stillity that we say, Keep your horse still. Keep him out of the horse-thills to -day." If this is not philenthi. ropy, t phil- hos-ophy. it is painful to reflect, that the ene- my cannot be routed horse, foot and. dragoons next week; because, owing to existing circumstances, the enemy is ob- liged to ride a mule. — The Troy Press says: Mayor Car- roll is confined to the house. He is suffering from a severe col& An invet- erate joker whom we can hardly pardon in this instance, says that this is proof that mayors are not exempt - froth the prevailing horse distemper. • — The horses ought to feel pretty bad. about it. They call it now in different places by the names of epizootic, dis- temper, le mal aii chevaux, the great equine unpleasantnees, hippozernipsis, etc., etc. — A fiaaatie correspondent Writes us in vague terras regarding this little epi- zood and the necessity for a general horsepital ;*but perhaps it is not neces- sary to horseshoer him, now that he has his second thought, that such articles are too frivolous for these columns. . —Fears are now entertained that the iron horse -will ere long succumb to the epizootic epidemic, as it was noticed yes- terday that he was afflicted with a vio- lent hacking cough. Abundant precau- tions have, however, been taken to thwart the progress of the disease in this direction, and the animal is liberally dozed with hot food. ete • el, CRUELTY TO AieneaLs.—Two canal boatmen were arrested in Buffalo' a few days ago for working horses -withgalled breasts, One -was tined $15, the other was fined $20. - eis- So - STUMPING. — In an interview with President Grant at Washington, on Sat- urd.ay, Senator Wilson, the newly -elected Vice -President, said he had traveled 15,000 miles and had delivered 128 speeches during the late political cam- " paign in the United States. THE liTNO 'OP ITALY. —A gentleman who recently saw King 'Victor Emman- • uel gives the following unpleasant pie= ture of his Majesty: "His Majesty was looking even more repulsively ugly than usual, his head nearly disappearing be- tween his shoulders, in consequence of his increasing bulk, and. his complexion, always dark, having become nearly black. His neck is now so short front obesity that his enormous mustaches rest on each shoulder, and a perpetual Scowl clouds his face." "Olt 410.' AMTION SALES.

Wheat has taken another considerable advance in price, but whether it will long remain at present figures is difficult to shy. Coarse grains remain firm. at old quotations. Deliveries during the past week have been scarce. For hay prices remain firm at quoted figures, but the den:land. is not nearly so great as it was a week or two ago. Wood is v.ery scarce. Summer stocks have mostly become ex- hansted and. there is searcely any coining In. - The:Salt Works have nearly all -run out. Any amount of goodswood would meet with ready sale at a,Thigh figure. Apples are now scarce and in good de- mand. For first class quality of winter fruit in small lots something more than the quoted price can be got. There is a good deal of beef, dressed, coming into market, and the price is rather low -and demand not very good. A few dressed. hogs have come in, but the supply as yet, has been limited. Fair prices are paid.
