What indications there are that Ne Jorsey will go Republican in 1884 is more than can be seen by mortal vision. New Jerse? went Democratic in 1880 by 2,000 majority. A summary of tbe vote at the lato eleotion as made by tbe New York Sun shows that the Dem ocrats have 3,000 majority. All the indications here point unmistakably to tha fact that New Jersey in 1884 will be in harmony with the prevailing Democratic sentiment of the country, that will eertainly sweep Republicans from power by the eloction if a Dem oeratio president. .

Tbe passing swsy of the old year often son ass like tbe dying of friend. And too, like tbem, it has gone never to return, but the deeds which it hae done are to live for ages, i bey canned be forgotten. Stamped on tbo pages of hbjtesry, they remain as monsroenU of. different events. 18JJ2 baa beam aaaa mf hm most prosperous years ex peri est esd for many years. Business baa bees boost ing all over the United Hut as Crops have Iteeu large, and brought good pri ce. Ksil-roadk have been constructed at greater rapidity than ever before, snd peace has reigned so proms, even while the miserable apology for Pres-- drnt, B-I-hazTdr like, has reveled in diasipation and profligacy, rail-road kingn have extended their monopolies, and real estate ahsrks, doabled their fortune. In our own little corner, op in the North-West, matters have jump ed abou : with Iota of alacrity, and asaay places Lave jumpeJ up like the boys who alept for years, and found them selves in short pants and long lege, and in a childish way filled their muaicipal heads with golden ideas enter to be re alized. Portland Seattle, Taeoama, Walla Walla and Pendleton, all have imagined themselves having a big boom, while we in Albany, have been just gently plodding along, gaining ground ateadly every day. We had a boom several years ago, and as soon as we nee up tha drift-wood, caught by it, will have another, it is bound to come We do not aay is will in 188$, but something is sure ia happen during that year, which will soon be upon aa. It i a good thing we cannot look ahead. If we could, what misery woe Id 11 the cups of 8m ; what ha ay in eu the jogt of othera. 1883 will tee many impor tant event. We predict as prosperous a year aa the past, snd while it is claim ed by an eminent gentleman, that a tremendous storm is to lay waste ear tain parta of the United State, e do not anticipate anything serious, aud at tbe time set for it to come, would as soon be on the Sulf of Mexicu, iu a wash tub, then, as any other time. Ws look for a confusion among some of tbe rail-road king, and shall not be surpris ed if they are made to realise tbo fact, that tbe peopled bare rights which they are bound to respect. Gould and Van derbilt might as well be tied to the North Pole, as to continue their unruly conduct. We hope 1883, will be free from war snd rapine, and aae no reason why it should uot be, although the self ish, overbearing course of England, is liable, at any -time, to cause trouble. The bull headed boy seems to have no higher ambition, half the time, than to be fighting with some Hot en tot or Zala schosl girl ; but we anticipate he will keep quiet daring 1 883. We want to see Oregon continue its good conduct and as no Iislature meets, no doubt she will. Anyway we wish all ita inhabit ants, little and big, old and young, a hap py year, from January 'till December. While the people of the United States k.- ; t i - v- ; um . mru uiviiuru mv uum utw Kmmm material progress of the country during the last decade, as shown by the census of 1 JiSO, still tha facts brought to light in some department of the census work, are such that we cannot contem plate with pleasure, though we may with profit, k.9 shown by the census, we have 50 millions inhabitants, 36 millions et whom are over the age of ten years. Among these 36 millions will be found 4,023,607 or 13.4 percent who cannot read, and 6,239,958 or 17 per cent who can not write. To some it is a matter of surprise that Pennsyl vania should have a larger per cent of illiteracy than any ot the Northern States, yet when we consider the occu pation of many of her inhabitants and their peculiar characteristics, we may net wonder at tha fact. As a matter ef course the South makes sn unfavorable showing, growing out of tha iguorsnt blacks. But free schools in the South have already done much towards making a better showing in this regard. Noth ing has contributed so largely in keep ing down illiteracy and buoying up tbe Manufacturing, and general industrial interests of tbe country as our public free schools. Without indulging ia political cant, we have no hesitation ia saying that we believe that free pub lic schools are destined to become tbe essential htay and hope of a people who purpose to be free. We hope the bill introduced some time since in tbe United States Senate appropriating $15,600,000 to be distributed among the several States in proportion to the illiteracy of eacb, may become a law, aa this would cause free schools to spring up all over the land, and thus drive ignorance, illiteracy, and vice from the land.
