DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AMERICAN Pork.— The U.S. consul at Mannheim reports to the Department of State that discrimination is made against pork from the United States. A police eguladon in that district requires all pork from America to be microscopically ex- amined and each This regulation country. loes not apply to any other at Sonneberg informs the Department of State, February 13, 1879, that an exhibition of Ame: can manufactured goods has excited the inter est and admiration of a large number of visitors in Coburg during the week. ‘The display con- sisted of toys, fancy goods, clocks and‘ Yan- kee notions’ erally, Nickel clocks from Connecticut, cheap jewelry, nickel and gilt watch chains were much admired. There was @ large assortment of silver-plated ood, spoons and forks, whose style and perfection of nish were at once acknowledged. The supe- rior cualities of our goods in this line must soon be appreciated in Europe. Hard rub- ; ber bracelets and other ornaments of this material were greatly praised. Pencils and penholders attracted attention by their in- genious construction. There was a great dis- play, also, of cast-iron notions. The wooden toys were admired for their ingenuity and the | solidity of their workmanship. This is the | more remarkable, as coming from people living in the very midst of German toy makers. The | American school and drawing slates are supe- rior to those made in Europe. Slates and other articles are too often sent to Germany from America with directions for using, and the names of pictures, printed in English. Goods | for Germany should be adapted to the verns | ular and tastes of the people. orters are generally at fault in this matter. | This exhibition was originated and conducted | by Mr. apocrspcs oad a resident of Coburg. with | business con! | genel in American goods and w: AT TRE WHITE Hovs Burrows, and Representative-elect C.

THE NATIONALS CLAIM FIPTEEN MEMBERS, AND THAT THE DEMOCKATS MUS TO ELECT. Outside of the total claims made by the na- tionals, the speakership contest is still in a HAVE THEIR HELP | state of suspense. Mr. Blackburn has estab- | Ushed headquarters in one of the lors at Wil- lard’s hotel, and Speaker Randall is expected to take a parlor during the day. The greenback men have thetr headquarters at the Metropoll- tan hotel, and are “groomed” by Col. Lee Cran- dell of Pensyivania. and “Plan” Buchanan of | Indiana. They still claim that they have fifteen votes pledged, and that neither the democrats | nor republicans con fix up a slate for the House organization under the dictum of King Caucus, for the reason that neither of them, without foraging in the camp of the nationals, have the sufficient nuinter of votes to make a quoram of the whole House. Ycsterday A LETTER FROM REPRESENTATIVE LOW, allegiance to the nationals, and says that he will act with them, caucus with them and vote with them every time. A telegram, they say, has also been received from Hendrick B. Wright, of Pennsylvania, who likewise announces that he Is a national and will act with them. If the greenbackers’ claim that they have fifteen inembers is correct, It 1s as plain as the nose on Oue’s face that the Speakership contest cannot be settled in caucu: he full membership of the House, with all the erippies on hand, is 237 members. Of these there {5 scarcely any dts- pute that the republicans have 130, Deducting Uese 130, and there remain of democrats and Pationals 157 members. the nationals to 15 vot the democrats only 142 than a majority of the 4 Speaker.

Such a coalition, however, they demand shat! be upon the basis that whoever may be agreed. Must keep entirely aloof from the democratic caucus and act with the nationals. 3K. BLACKBURN FEELS HOPEFUL, nSy confident, that Speaker Randall cannot be re-elected. Just how he arrives at the conelu- sion, or indeed how Mr. Randall figures out his own strength, is not patent to the eye of the most observant. There are a great many members away, the contest has not taken a definite shape. and gossip, just now inspires confidence, which subsequent events may knock into smithereens. It is plain that there Is a strong feeling of op} whether it can be held together and concen- trated is the problem which just now not only lexes the ex-Speaker, but his enemies. Still, Mr. Randall, is a keen political worker, and while his friends may play brag and bluster, it must be conceded to the nan that whatever effective work he does, he does in bis own quiet way. He will not be caught asleep, and if beaten it will be in 2c: test managed by his own cool head and mast hand. About Wednesday night the pot will be- gin to boil in dead earnest.
