A Few Plain Words from NfualtrUak HSR. Iu his speech at Albany, on Monday evening, Senator Conkling said : Ia this campaign really being waged by our adversaries for the sake of pure government? Is It to protect the ca nals that Mr. John Kelly is amassing a corruption fund by levying party con. tributiona on the myriad of phtce-men in the City of York"? In it to advance reform Mr. John Kelly is removing upright judgea from the bench ami putting his confederates in their place'.' I it for the sake of good example that Mr. John Kelly brings from New Jer sey ntnl ptita at the) head of public wurks iu New York a man tried by ills peers and convicted of treachery iii the late war'.' Is it for wholesome effect that the private secretary of Jef ferson Davis was brought to New York to nerve writs on the people'.' Is it for the public good that the City Government of New Yolk costs mi litially ;'h"i,'k0,UO0, or, iu other words. f2!U(i for each wiul on Manhattan Island? If wo deduct interest and pensions piled on ns by the rebellion, tbe whole (iovrumel:t of the UuiteO (states, tit home nml abroud, costs : a head annually. At the rate of Demo crntie government iu the City of New York, the national .exnenscs would be 1,::T01(Vk),(nm) u year. Is it for reform that our opponents are so ninuaiiiiiK the great eat city oil the continent, that taxes, assessment anil lett are piling up till property is poverty, and New Jersey, Connecticut, and other States are being peopled by families driven from New York by unbearable exac tions? 1ct lis look at these things before wo walk under the yoke of a party which in war and in peace has l unified wounds for which it can never atone. Hut he who bounds his vision by the horizon of this one State or of tills one year, iu estimating the results of this election, sees not hall the truth. Cotton Manufacture in the Dnited States. The number of cotton factories iu the United States in 1H10 waa reported to he 241, and the unmoor of spindles estimated at !,4O0, an average of too for each mill. According to a report of a committee of Congress, in 1M15, $10,000,000 was then invested In cot ton manufactures, and 100,000 persons were employed ; 27,000,000 pounds of cotton were consumed, producing M, OOO.OtN) yards of clotli, valued at $24, ;RHi,0OO. In Khode Island.

If Mr. Ilan dall should fail to be elected Speaker it will not be luck of the most prodigi ous ell'orl. A Southern member of Coupresg states that he has received several letters from Mr. Handall on the subject of the Speakership, and probably fifty from his friends. It is further said that every member from the South hm beeu personally ap pealed to on behalf of Mr. Kaudall. So fur us is known, however, hut one Southern member is committed abso lutely to tho support of Mr. lUndnll, and thut is (inventor Wulkor, of Vir ginia. Most of ' lie Sout hern members who have wrili.n hereon the subject express a sip' preference for Mr. Kerr. A very u-ing circumstance in connection wi h the tjuestiou of the House patronage ir iutiud in the claims which aro put forth by many of those holding tho most luorative positions on the House side, that they are and always have been Democrats. It ia speaking within bounds to say that at least omethird of the present officers of tho House have on such pleas as the above announced their expectation of remaining in under the Democrats.

I From tha Baltiniorathin J The Hon. Cnrl Hchuri is on a visit to New York, and in conversation on Friday with some frieuds was asked whether he though, the vote In Ohio anil I lie defeat there of the Inflation movement would have such an eli'ect in the West its todellnitely put that Issue our of our politics for tbe next year, in r ply to which he said it was very questionable. Inflation is very ; strong in the West, and it commands ;b ltrg majority of the Democratic I'iiiiy ill mill irKiiili, eai-rouiiK, per- tiHps, iii the extreme Northwestern States, including Illinois. If the in flationists had tieen beaten by a very I a rue mejottiy in Ohio the lesult would probably h'ie diseotimged them so ninch as in induce I hem to Kive it up: Inn the iiisjotity being small, they limy feel warranted in trying again, and no on with the organization of le-t!sl-teinier i liitis, which they have al ready hcKtiu, ami which they intend to establish on a lnrne scale, ltesldes, the Oliiii eleetion returns show thut while a sunlit number of hard-money Ortmocrat voted against Allen, u much l;ter number of soft-money Kepwb licatis voien for him. Whilst he did not look upon the election us decisive, it was un exceedingly important oue, inasmuch as it showed the inability of the I nil nl ionlsts to drive everything before them with the cry of more moliey mi their own choseu field. It certainly has saved t be country from an inline. liiite danger. He believes I hat the inflation Democrats in the West, sore over their defeat, may strive to revenge themselves uhui the sound currency Democrats of (he Kasl and make trouble within the party, and he is apprehensive lest they may receive help from the Southern Democrats. As to the future he holds himself inde pendent of party ties and iutlueuces, and prefers io leave the door open to act with that one of the two parties which, as he pertinently remarks, shall rise furthest at ove its obi record and Its dunirenius and merely selfish element. While he regards the flnan cial issue as of great importance, be thinks that some other reforms are also demanded, and is evidently not inclined to see the currency question made tbe sole one next year. He be lieves that party will have the best chance nexT ear which lifts itself highest above its selfish partisau im pulses ami above Its own record, and thinks the country will be beet served if the political parties are not both as bad, but both us good us possible ; and thut each will improve tbe other by improving Itself. - - -a - - The Hotel of the Future. IIY MAIL, HAMILTON. Ill the hotel of the future, if we can not. change all our carpets at the "spring cleaning," and change them back again at the "fall cleaning;" it we can not afford double suits of fur niture for every nm which may well be the case until tbe latter part of the millennium we shall yet look to it that each room is furnished with some light, agreeable, easily movable and wholly restful furniture, which shall seem to be cool eveu when the heaveus are brass above our heads and the earth is dust beneath our feet. In the hotel of the future, each room shall have oue graceful, simple chair or lounge which may be lifted, and which shall not be too fine to give rest for tired feet without fear of perpetrating vandalism. Why should one dissem ble? That is what you go to a hotel for to put your feet In a chair when you come iu tired. Foreigners and our own home-folk also are never weary of caricaturing the American habit of holding the feet higher than the head. It is very bad manners, but it is very good physiolgy. The high est medical authority declares that a horizontal position of the bdy is most conducive to a restoration of disturbed equilibrium and to a healthful circul ation. Hot there are some enterpris ing spirits among us who do not need science to tell them what rests them when they are tired, and, carrying the principle of selfpreservation too far, they have postured themselvea too recklessly, and thrust their uplifted feet through all the laws o deference and courtesy.

Crawford, the oldest resideut member of the lireene ville Mar, announced the death of Hon. Kobert J. McKinney, and there upon the Court adjourned, and a meet ing of the members of the bar in at tendance, was called. On motion by H. H. Itigersoll, Ksq., Hubert A. Crawford was called to the chair, and In a few appropriate re marks introduced the subject of the meeting. On motion by A. II. Fell ibone, F.s.p, Itobert M. McKee, was chosen Secre tary. And on motion of James It. Uobitisou, Ksp, the chairman was au thorized to appoint a committee of three to prepare and report suitable resolutions Umii the occosion of the death of Judge McKinuey. Thechuirman theretipou appointed James H. Hobltison, Ksq., II. H. Iti ifersoll, Ksq ., ami A. It. Fettlhone, F.sq., to constitute the committee.

Tl ksday, Oct. 19, IST s 1 1'. M. Tli meeting was called to order in pursuance of adjournment, when the report of the committee which was appointed at the former meeting, was submitted, aud by unanimous vote adopted. The preaiiildeaud resolutions coinprb-ed in that report are as fol lows : Whkhkas, The Honorable Itobert J. McKinuey has been called from the walks of men, and in his death we are reminded of tho truth forcibly ex pressed in tbe language: "When a good man dies society trembles;" and we recognize that it' is fitting that we should place on record our-formal ex pression of esteem for his exalted character. Therefore Resolved, That, In the lire of Judge McKinuey, is afforded an instance of solid out-growth ami development of greatness and excellence, by Inflexible adherence to the principles of truth aud justice, unaided by the favoritnr circumstances of birth, position, or of tiiorougn eaucatioii. Kefrolved, Thut we recognize in his character one of which the fouudations were laid down deep in these princi ples of truth and justice, and in the rectitude of his conduct we witness how accurately he had plumbed and lined ail to this basis. Kesolved, That while we would hsk in vain for perfection in any human character, yet we have heartily placed upon record our conviction that the extent of the triumphs of Judge Mc Kinuey over tho weaknesses of hu muuiiy, is Bitch as to commend bis worth and virtue iu an especial man" ner for imitatloa. Hesolved, That iu our opinion Judge McKinuey, as a mau, was noble aud true; as a lawyer, learned anil thor ough ; ua a judge, impartial and rigid, of whom it might be said, without, however, implying that with him there was any want of benevolence or charity, that " he was a kindles man intent on mere Indifferent fair play." Kesolved, That his pure private character and consistent Christian life present an example to tbe young men, and particularly those of our own pro fession, which we warmly recommend for imitation. - lteeolved, That the sympathies of tne memoera or the latr comprising this meeting are hereby tendered to the friends and relations of the de ceased aud particularly to his son the solo surviving member of his im mediate family. Fendlug tbe consideration of the re port of the committee, feeling and eloquent remarks were made by IIou. Hubert M. Barton, H. II. Ingersoll and A. H. l'ettibone. On motion of' A. H. Fettibone the following additional resolution was adopted : Hesolved, That the chairman of this meeting be instructed to appoint some member of the Har to present the fore goiug preamble and resolutions at roll call on the morning of to-morrow, (Thursday), the 20lh lust., aud move the Honorable Judge of the Circuit Court now holding its sessions in this place, to order that tbe same be spread upon the minutes of said Court, and that u copy of said proceedings be furnished to the newspapers of this place with request to them and all newspapers of the State to publish the same, aud that the Secretary furnish the relatives of the deceased likewise with a copy. The chairman, thereupon, designa ted A. H. Fettibone, Ksq., to present said resolutions aud preamble to the Court. The meeting then adjournodsmr die. It. A. Cbawkokh, Ch'm. Kobkkt M. McKkb, Sec.

He told a reporter of the Cin cinnati Commercial " it was bad enougli to make so dishonorable a proposition" as the Democratic resolu tion on finance, but the "nomination of such a candidate as Samuel F. Cary was an insuerable barrier to success." He said Mr. John G. Thompson, Chair man of the Democratic Slate Commit tee, declared at tbe start that Allan could not be elected with but the aid of the hard money Democrats, and it was arranged that the campaign should be opened by them. This plan was up set by the Cincinnati Enquirer's de manding that tiie speakers should con form to lis raK-money views, or else keep silent.

The spirit of revolution is just now doubly fomented by a mysterious and foul tragedy, all knowledge of widen the authorities am vainly endeavoring to coyer up. Several Iiercona hsve ulresdy been arre-h-d and mrried off inb dungeons, nobody knows w here, simply lor having been heard speak ing of the subject on the street or in the eales. The newspapers have been threat ened, and not ot:e of them- dare lisp a syllable on the subject. Hut itis constantly talked of- in bated breath, with closed doom : in fact the whole story hss been printed on small slips of paper and secretly eiroulatod. The facts appear to bo as follows : Tho King and the Duke of Sexto have bees corrupting tho wilo snd daughter of sa officer in the army, whose Itomn is aneonsl or third door from Mr. Cushing's. He was. in tho North fighting, but bearing of tha King's frequent visits at his house ho caran suddenly to the city, and enteringliisbosnii late at night, found the King and tho lhike of Sexto in the house ; shot at the King, but missed him. and was himself shot duevd bytheHukn of Sexto, who was bebiod iii. i un sinui iuiiei iienrii uie pisun shots, and came running to tho rescue, but were sent about their business. The body was given to a w-atchman. who carried a nobody knows where, and is now receiving, it is said, $ HW.a month. The maid servant, who was an eye witness of tho mnrder, dis appeared tho next dav somo say was as sassinated. Hut she find had limn to toll her lover. When ho found she was dis posed of bo hid himself for some days, but venturing out at last, was found dead in thtv street, stubbed, ono morning. Tl'o judge before whom tho case of tho. first murder should havu come, being a , man of more than usual tiruioossof cbara.- . tcr, snd having a kuowledgo of the facta was determined tnnt some kind or jusUoe should be done. Many flattering odiciah positions were offered I I him if he would de- sist lrom nis purpose, whien he sternly re-' fused to do; when suddenly ono of Uut ' papers announced that bu had committed" : suicide I Tbo other papers do not dare eros to mention his death, or to make any cooa- , merits. And the courts have taken no notice of the wholo business, though thw ., story is already repeated from J.isboa to Barcelona. The mother and daughter nave been privately hurried off to Itayonno. Already rhyinos like the following have been printed snd circulated on tbe streets : "Kn la doctrina Christiana iiee el q n in to, no matsr s I'ero la gento Alfonsina, For miedo de no pecar, Tieno un Sopto que aesina." Which rendered literally is ! In the Christian doctrine Says the fifth commandment, f nut kill. Hut the Alfonsist gentry 1'or fear of not sinning, Have a sixth: Do thou asss.'sinnte. As the Catholics have omitted ths incon venient second commandment, Ike sixth has become their tilth. The pan on Um Du'iue do Sexto's name is very telling, a the last line may also be read in Spanish, " Have a Sexto, who assassinates." 1 can not vouch for the truthfulness of all the details of this horrible story.
