Tho Frand Pmclmed in the Mixing of Cotton with Shoddy and Cheap Grades of Wool, ftisa troth that cannot be too widely elrenlated nor (0o well. underatood that Iarge quantities of ao-called woolen goods aald fn the market to be made fnto garments are composed mot of wool nalone, but of colton and wool gnlzed, and carded together before being spun into yarn. The ol1- fashioned manner of making cotton and wool fabric was in using the former for the warp and the lstter for the Alling. This syas an honest method, since the compositlon was plainly understood by the buyer or consumer, ‘Tho prescnt nae of cotton in mixtre enlb\el manufacturers of ‘plece goods to nse wool of poor quality and shoddy, for cotton gives strongth to the fibre. Material that would not hold together If worked alone can be made arallable by the nse of cotton, Now onaof the opjections to rooda made In this. manner Is, that when worn and cxposed to run- Mght they fade, and have a dirty, dilapidated ap. pearance, But largo quantities of snch goods are in the matket, and so shrewdly Is the miztare of cotton and wool effected that tho ordinary meth- odsof discovery of the cotton arc notof avatl. Buraing does no_good, for the amell of the wool fs distinct, ss If In the sbscnceof the cheaper material. The only safety for the rotall pure chazor who deslres honest material consists in trusting to known houses that have a good reputa- tlonand mean tokeopit. Some of thesa nouseshave 1o time past been decelved by the makers, but now certaln of them have chemlcal testa that thoy ap- ply, and are able to show the resnlt to such as (n- quire concerning each and every pleca of woolen goods that they are wiliing to make Into garments. It hos becoms one of the dishoncst customa in trade of the day, on the part of certaln manufac- turers, to warrant the goods thatare formgd fnpart of cotton a8 all wool, becauag, a8 they aay, the cote ton and wool are not distinctively used as warp and Siling, The buyer of the false article is assured, therofore, that the goods sold him ara **alf wool, " 1lc has no meana at hand for the detection of the trick, and 1n awiudled. It i, of coutse, » matter of snecial moment that tho patchaser of fabrics that are to be made lnto clothing, or the purchaser of clothing that he himself is to wear, sliould- determino to make hls d not only have the menns and to detect imposi. tion, but who are utterly to be belleved when they asscrd that the goods they offer aro gonuine. Some of tho manufacturars srgue that they muat meot the market; that cortaln woolen goods mado inpartof cotion are more strong and more salable than if made of low.priced wool alono. Very well; if these goods woro represented as being made of cottun in part, and the man who bonght the pantaloons made of them understood that he waa baying & mixture, in place of believing tho representation of the partles who made the Rooda into garments that they wers & 8l wool, no barm wonld bo done. The chespenlng and adaltcration 4f goods of all descriptions, that thoy may be aold clicap, has bocomo a part of the bast- ness of the timo. ‘The ovil consequences of this demand for cheap articles alfect not the mokez, the jobber, or the re- tafler, but only the consumer, Ho fs told that he 1s purcliasing & genulno all-wool material made into a garment, and, it may be, wondera that the price 12 a0 low, There are houses that make on'y “ tho best of goods Into garments. If the buyer of ready-mado clothing will find them oat, he may be assured of the quality of his purchase.

THE PRESIDENT, Special Dispatch to The Tridune, Wasnixotay, D. C., March 11.~The principla feature In the Housc was Hewitt's specch upon the Civil-Scrvice reform policy of the Admin- {stration. Hewlitt assumed that the President had adopted s certatn principle fn the matter of ‘ppointment, and he compelled the statemente of bis specch to adapt themsclves to that ase sumntion. The principle was that the Presie I dent, disregarded bis Civil-Scrvice pledges, and refusfog to recognize the polltieal serviers of those whonided in securing his clectfon, adopted the principle that ‘those only should bo ap- polnted to ligh offices who had been instrue mental in placing the President tn his seat. Hewitt paseed ju review the principal appolnt- ments of the Aaministration, and claimed that the reason of thefr appolntment could bo TRACED TO TIlIS PHINCIPLE. He found Esarts, tc greateatylawyer in tho country, It is true, but the lifo of the Electoral Cominlssion, In the Statc Department. McCra- ry, another Electoral-Commisston lawyer, in the War Department; Sherman, visitiog states- man, in the Treasury; McLin, of the Florida Elcctoral College, In o Judgeship. Hewitt as- serted that the President had lald down another principle, namely: that no personal friends should be sppointed to office, yet Comly goes as Minister to the Sandwich Islands, Noycs to France, and Alfred Lee to Frankfort, ‘I‘huc, Hewitt malintained, wers nersonal eppoint- ments, unfit to be made vn thelr merits. Tho chlef duty to France should be to mezotiate o conunercial treaty, yet Noyes COULD BPEAK XO FRENCH, although Hewitt had been told ln Parts that Lo spoke English with a Freuch accent. Hewite treated Comly unfalrly by reading the racy per- sonal lotter recently published in the Ohto State Journal, and calling it an official communication, Hewitt sbould have known that it was s private letter, npt desigucd -for the public or tho State Department. Hewltt's argument was marred by his unwillingness to give credit to the Presi- dont for the particularly good forelgn appolut- ments. Hewitt would not even acknowledgo that Kasson, of Iown, was o proper man for Munister, although his admitted he was o gentle- mau L or mxext quatiFica¥ioxs, and he, too, was o wltiog statesman, TRussell Lowell, Welsh, and Bayard Taylor even, Hewitt maintained, were not the men for thelr places. The American people did not want a man ot Madrid to study Spanish literature only. Thers was o siguillcant pnssage In Hewlte's speech which Samuel J. Tilden will uot read with leasure, aud which Xlll give malconteut ciocruts concern. related to tho Prestenttal title. — Tlewitt declarcd that Prestdent Hayea' title was beyond the right of any court or tribunal to Investigate; that i1 wan {rrefragible: that whatever wrong had beer done_hud ot been done by Haves bimsell, and that the legal titlo was {mpregnabte. Coucluding, Hewitt said that if the President kept falsifying his pledizes, the, Amcricen peo- plo would {\old that the fraud was not o hia title but {n his performance.
