An Indian Story.John Kilburu was one qf tlio settlers of

Walpole, >'. H. When CoL Ben. Bellows(great-grandfather of the Bcv. Dr. II. W.Bellows, of Now York) came to the townto settle, he found Kilburn in a garri-soned house about two miles north of thetown. In the summer of 1705 (the yearof the breaking out of the old Frenchwar) two men «rora shot by the Indian».Shortly before thi-, an Indian namedPhilip had visited Kilburn's house in afriendly way, pretending to be in want ofprovisions. Ho was supplied with flintsand flour, and dismissed. I t was ascer-tained that this same Indian had visitedall the settlements on the river, doubtlessto procure information of the state of theirdefenses. Word came from Gov. Shirleythat GOO Indians were collecting in Can-ada, whose aim was the butchery and ex-ecution of the whole of the white popula-tion on tho upper part of the ConnecticutKiver.

Col. Bellows had at this time about 30men at a strong fort which he had builton a hill overlooking the Connecticut,about half a mile south of Kilburn's buttoo distant to afford him any aid. Aboutnoon on the 17th of June, Kilburn and hisson John, in his eighteenth year, and alsoa man named Peak, and his son, were re-turning to dinner, from the field, whenone of them discovered the red legs of th eIndians among the alders "as thick asgrasshoppers." The whito men instantlymade for tho house, fastened the doors,and prepared for an obstinate defense.Kilburu's wife, liuth, and his daughter,Hetty, were already in the house. Inabout fifteen minutes the savages wereseen crawliug up the bank cast of thehouse, and as they crossed the foot-path,ono by one, 197 were counted, about thesame number, it afterward proved, hadremained in ambush, but joined the at-tacking party soon.

The savages appeared to have learnedthat Col. Bellows and his men were atwork at his grist mill, about a mile east,and they intended to waylay and murderthem before attacking Kilburn's house.The Colonel aud his men were now re-turning homo, each with a bag of mealon his back, and unsuspicious of danger,when the dogs began to growl and be-tray the neighborhood of an enemy. TheColonel, knowing the language of thodogs and the wiles of tho Indians, in-stantly adopted his policy. He directedhis men, throwing off the meal, to crawlcarefully to the rise of land, and on reach-ing the top of the bank to spring togeth-er to their feet, give ono whoop, and in-stantly drop into the sweet-torn. Themovement had the desired effect to drawthe Indians from their ambush. At thesound of the whoop, fancying themselvesdiscovered, the whole body of the savage;aroso from the bushes in a semi-circlearound the path Col. Bellows was tohavo followed. His men fired upon thoIndians, who were so disconcerted thatthey darted into tho bushes and dissap-peared. The Colonel, sensible of his un-equal force, hurried his men off by thoshortest cut to the fort, and prepared forits defense.

The Indians, finding their plan defeat-ed, then determined to take vengeance ona weaker party, and soon appeared onthe eminence east of Kilburn's house.—Here the same treacherous Philip, whhad visited him and partaken of his hos-pitality so short a time before, came forward under the shelter of a tree, ancsummoned tho little garrison to surren-der. " Old John, young John," cried he" I know ye; come out hero. AVe giveyou good quarter." " Quarter ! " vocifer-ated old Kilbnrn, in a voice of thundei"you black rascals, begone, or we'll quarter you! " I t was a bravo reply for foilmen t° make to nearly four hundredPhilip returned, and after a short consultation the war-whoop rang out, as if, tcuse tho language of an ear-witness, " a]tho devils in hell had broke loose." Kilburn was lucky and prudent enough tget tho first fire, before tho smoke of thbattle perplexed his aim, and was conndent ho saw Philip fall. The fire frorthe little garrison was returned byshower of balls from the savages, whrushed forward to tho attack. The roonext to the eminence from which tho attack was made was a perfect " riddle-aieve." Home of tho Indians fell at onceto butchering (he cattle ; others to a wan-ton destruction of tho grain, whilo thelarger part ^ept up an incessant firo attho house. Meanwhile Kilburn and hismen—aye, •'uid his women—wero In i!yat work.. Their powder they poured intotheir luits for greater convenience; thew.iim ii loaded the guns, nil of th< tn beingkept hot by iuoeoaant use. A:; thrir

took of lead grew short they suspendedilankets over their heads to oatch themils of the uiiemy, which penetrated oneide of the roof aud fell short of the oth-r. These were immediately run by theseipartan women into bullets, and beforehey had time to cool were sent back to\u: enemy from whence they came. Siv-ral attempts were made to force theoor, but the unerring aim of the marks-lcn sent sucli certain death to their :is-ulauts, that they soon desiated fromlieir efforts. Most of tho time tho In-iuns kept behind logs aud stumps, andvoided as best they could the fire of thoittle Gibraltar. The whole afternoon,ven till sundown, tlio battle continued,ntil, as the t-uu set, the s;ivagr«, unable0 conquer BO Small a fortiv>s, discour-ged and baffled, forsook the ground, and,s was supposed, returned to Canada,baiiiloning the expedition on which theyad set out. Is it not reasonable to .sui)-ose that their fatal experience here,tirough the in itohless detense of thusoeroes and heroines, was intruniental ini\ in r hundreds of the dwellers on theroi-tier from the horrors of an Indiannas&aore ?

Seldom did it fall to the lot of the ear-v s<-ttiers to win a more brilliant crown

John Kilburn earned in this glori-us exploit. Peak got the only wound ofis party, receiving a ball in the hips,rom exposure at u port hole, which, un-appily, for lack of surgical cure, oausedU death on the tilth day. The Indiansever appeared in that neighborhood aferward, although the war did not termi-ate till eight years afterward. Johnalburn lived to see his fourth genera-inn enjoying the benefit of a high civili-ation on the spot he hud rescued frombo savages. What amount of destruc-!on ho and his companions made amonglie savages it was impossible to tell, asiiey carefully carried off aud concealedlieir dead.

The Cardiff (Jiant Outdone.We make the following extract from a

etter to the Philadelphia 1'res.i, written>y a corespondent crossing tho plains

with a military expedition. It is the sto-y of a pioneer employed as a guide :

Ono day some young fellows said theyrere going over to see the stone man. Iad often heard them talk about thetone man, but never believed there wasnything in it. 8o one of the young fel-ows said to me: "Xow, Nelson, you justhut up about the stone man, or comelong and see him." Next morning Iiorrowed a pony, and eight of us rodecross the country to the North Fork ofhe Republican. It was about four'clock when we come to a little streamhat empties into the North Fork, andhe Indians told mo that the stone manas just a little way up the stream. Weent on about half a mile, when the In-

dians dismounted, tied their horses andlointed to the right. About a hundredaids from tho stream there he was, surenough. Tho Indians, who had bren

•IT noisy all along, would only speak inwhispers, and wouldn't go within ten feet

f him. He lay on his back, with hisight hand resting on his breast and hiskt arm gone. I stopped him and he:as tw enty-two feet long. Ono side oflis under jaw had been broken off with aledge hammer, and two of the teeth wen,'OTIC. It wits broken by a trader, who

-ook it into North Platte, where it is now.lo had been telling some of them fellowsbout the stone man, and they wouldn't)elieve him, so when he came out againle sledged off a jaw and toclc it in to showhem. He had already sledged off the

right arm near the shoulder, but two menould not carry it, and it was still lyingicsido the body. There was a cavity inhe stomach, and also in tho eyes; butho nose, ears and cheeks were perfect.—'he nails on tho tots had grown out halfn inch beyond the flesh, and ono leg waslightly drawn up. The veins were visi-le under tho skin, rind the flesh hadrind on the ribs so that you eould counthen. I had never seen anything like it,nd if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't havojcHeved it was there."

We had all listened to this story withoelings of doubt, wonder and amaze-nent. The General said : " Mr. Nelson,low far are wo from tho stone man now."

1 About one hundred and twenty-fivemiles."

'And how far will we be from himvhon wo get to Tickwood Creek, wherewe aro going? "

" About eighty miles."" If we scout up the South Fork of the

tepublican, how far do we pass from thetone man V"

" Not over twenty miles."" Then," said tlio General, " wo shall

ook up this wonderful stone man ; andmind you, Nelson, if you havo told us ajrairie yarn about him wo shall take thoiberty of treating you to a cold bath inhe river."

Nelson solemnly averred that all he hadaid was true, and expressed himself per-fectly willing to be ducked if he could not)oiut out just such a " stono man " as helad described.

Cheap hut Honest.Many yours ago, when Judge Kobert

M. Charlton, of Savannah, Ga., wits ayoung man, he, in company with his fath-er, the Hon. U. II. Charlton, spent ev-iry summer in tho delightful villago ofClarksville, Northeast Georgia.

One day Robert was passing along thestreet in Clarksville, it happened to boelection day (members of Congress werethen elected by what was called the gen-eial ticket system, and not by districts asthey are now) when ho was near a ver-dant but honest voter of tho mountains,who ncc6sted him thus :

Mr. Charlton, aro you the man thatis running for Congress V "

' No, sir, I'm no candidate. My fatheris," however. But imiy I ask you whythis inquiry V "

Nothing, only I havon't voted yet."If it isn't inconsistent with your feel-

ings, then, 1 would liko it if you wouldvoto for my father."

I would just as soon voto for him asanybody."

Mr. C. thanked him, and thinking per-haps his friend was seeking a treat, in-vited him into a neighboring tavern.

" What will you take ': "" I never drink anything, but I seo they

havo some ginger-cakes. I'd as lief takono of them as not."

" Very well. Give us a cake."" My brother is in town with mo."" All right. Take him a cako with m;

respects."Another cake was purchasod and pair

for, and the two friends parted, " greeny"to find his brother, and Mr. Charlton tjoin his young frionds in the parlor hartby.

" Tho golden hours on angols' wingspassed rapidly away with Mr. CharltonHis friend was soon forgotten. Lato iitho evening our verdant friend, vermuch to the surprise of every one, stalkeiinto tho x»arl°r a"d. inquired for MrCharlton. Drawing from his bosona four-by-six-ineh cake, he said :

•' Mr. Charlton, hero's your cako. Mbrother had voted afore I seed him."

A man once went to an eccentric lawyer to be qualified for somo petty officThe lawyer said to him, " Hold up youright hand, I'll swear you. l«>t ftfi'tiofl could not quality you."

True to Love ami Home.On a certain day in 1853, a young man

whose noticeable points wero a fashiona-ble coat, pantaloons with wide checks,and a massir? gold watch chain, nt oneend of which dangled a seal, walked intoa large hardware store in Boston and ask-ed for employment. Mr. Peter Butler,one of the proprietors, inquired if he hadever worked at the business. He had not.What had he been doing ? Studying lawat Cambridge. Where did he belong?His family lived in Maryland. The firmwere not in need of help, and the servicesof the applicant were civilly declined.

On the following day he addressed anote to Mr. Butler, saying that he fearedhe had not made himself quite understoodand would call again on the morrow toexplain further. At the SOcOndinterviewhe Said he had graduated at Harvard Uni-versity, and commenced reading law; thathe had become acquainted with a younglady in Cambridge whom he proposed tomarry ; that his father had written to himforbidding him to wed a Northern girl onpenalty of utter disinheritance and ban-ishment from home.

He intended, however, to keep faithwith his betrothed; and as he must pad*die his own canoe in the future, he waslooking for employment. Mr. Butler in-gaged him at if-100 a year, and gave himcertain duties to perform. Next morningtho young man, whose name we may aswell say was John Paca, walked in fromCambridge with his dinner packed in atin pail and went stoutly to work. II Jkept steadily at this for a year, -doing allthat ho was told to do, and more besides;for his comrades, of whom there weremore than sixty, finding him able andwilling, set him all tho menial tasks oftho establishment, until the proprietordiscovered and stopped tho imposition.

At the end of the year John's salary-was increased $100, and he named an ear-ly day for his wedding. When that dayoame Mr. Butler g:ive him a n w suit ofclothes (he presents everybody he takes aliking to with a tip top suit once in awhile) and a holiday. Mr. and Mrs. JohnPaca went to live with tho bride's fatherand mother, and John continued to walkto business, tin pail in hand, Among allthe merchants and tradesmen who rodein from ojd Cambridge to the banks andcounting rooms of Boston, there w.»s notono whoso heart was lighter and happier

lan that of John Paca, a clerk on (£00 aoar. Ho was always on hand whon thoiirohouse was opened, uud stuck by itntil it was closed. IHring tho secondear of his service he received a letterrom his sisters, who were at school inrooklyn, asking him to get leave to makelem a short visit. He did so, and return-d to his duties.

Not long afterward another letter came.[is father wanted him to come home forfew days aud bring his wife with him.r. Butler furnished tho necessary funds

or a comfortable trip to the old home andack again. During their stay in Mary-,nd the young people won the love of10 old folks, if indeed they had ever for-itcd it, and John had not been longack at the store in Boston when his fa-ler desired him to take charge of one ofis plantations. He should have a livingff it, one thousand a year besides, andWO saddle horses, and his wife shouldave carriage and pair. His employersurried him away and bado him God-peed. At tho death of his father, John11 heir to an immense estate. Everyear he writes to Peter Butler, whom heistly thinks one of tho best men in Bos-ou, to come out and join him in a foxunt.

Agassi/ as a Boy.The story is told of Professor Agassi/.i;it he was a poor Swiss lad, who, refus-g to learn to turn a penny by his fath-

rs trade, began alone to spell out the al-habet of nature in rocks, and birds, andeasts. The knowledge did not promisei help him along one whit among hiseighbors; did not put shoes on his t'< et.r salt in his porridge ; a comfortableome and a successful business was waitingw him, but ho chose to go wanderingirough the Alps, hatchet in hand, andften but a sou in his pocket—" a sum sottle," he said, " when my hunger was soig ! " So, hungry and half clothed, heollowed the half effaced signs of his un-nown language, which he fancied Godad spoken and not man, as a child mightraoo the footsteps of a lost mother. Atist he made his way to London, to Sirtoderick Murchison, who, he thought,ould help him. " Well, sir, what do younow ?" demanded tho great naturalist,lot ing his beardless chin and ruddy checks.I think—" hesitated the lad, " a littlebout fishes." That night, at a meetingf the Royal Society, Sir Roderick held

up a covered package. " I havo here," hoaid, " u. fish which existed in such anra " — somo time before Adam was born,tnd proceeded to state the exact condi-ion and position in which it was found.Can our young friend, who knows some-

hing about fishes, tell us anything aboutt P " Whoreupon the Swiss boy promptly[row upon the blackboard a skeletonuonster, of which the real one, when un-overed, proved to be the exact duplicate,

md then the old greybeards present ree-ignized him as ono of themselves, and;ave him place, very much as the kingBif Hades rose to receive Napoleon.

Longevity of a Qood Deed.Here is a neat little story from Ken-

ucko. About twenty-five years ago ayoung man from, that State took a horse-jack ride to Virginia, where his father

camo from, and on his way he met a manand his family removing West, who weroso poor as to be reduced almost to starva-ion. He had comoaasion on tho wretch-

ed group and gave them a $20 bill withwhich to reach their journey's end. Inabout fifteen years the young man receiv-ed a letter from the man he had befrioud-d, saying he was a prosperous merchant

in Southern Kontucky, and enclosing a$20 bill to pay his loan. After anotherton years, which included tho rebellionind its termination, he was elected to thoLower House of the Kentucky Legisla-ture, and being a man of talent and influ-ence, was chosen Speaker, in tho contestfor which he had noticed that a stranger,iind one of the other party, was his strong-est supporter. His curiosity was arousedby this, and ho asked tho man's motivo,as he had never, to his knowledge, seenhim before. " Sir," replied the member,

you will recall, when I mention it, a lit-tle scene that occurred when you were aboy on your way to Virginia. It was youwho saved my wife from starvation. Shetold ine, time and again, that never did amorsel of food taste so sweet, so utterlydelicious, as that you gave her thon. Shewas just six years old at that timo ; butwhen she saw your name, during the latecanvass, among the probable prominontcandidates for tho Speakership, she laiddown the law as to how I should vote.This is all. Noither she, nor her fatherand mother, brother and sisters, nor my-self, can forgot you."

" The products of the country arevarious and abundant. Wheat of twodescriptions is produced, one sown in Sep-tember and one in April; rice, barley, In-dian corn, four kinds of oil seeds in abun-dance, clover, turnips, carrots, onions.Cotton of a fair description is produced iularge quantities, and manufactured intomaterial for native wear, or exported intoKhokand and Russia. The fruit cropsconsist of tho pear, apple, apricot, almond,peach, walnut; while tho vine is cultivat-ed, the yield from which is excellent.The mulberry is everywhere seen.

. . . . , . JOHN STEWAHT.

I redncksburg, Vtt., January 16, 1872.

If any of tho readers of the Tribunestill retain the power of doing their ownthinking it will probably occur to themthat tho Custom-house is not tho onlyparticipant in this swindle. The mon-strous penalty which John Stewart hadto pay for his impious attempt to fertilizethe rebel soil of Virginia was made uppartly, indeed, of the extortionate feeslevied upon his sack of seeds by the offi-cials of tho Grant-Lcet Custom house.But nearly one half of it, it will be ob-served, consisted of the duty imposed up-on his importation by the Radical major-ity in Congress under tho constant cryand clamor of the Xew York Tribune,

When we askod the. .Tribune the otherday why it was preparing to accept thenomination of President Grant after help-ing to prove President Giant a partner inthe jobs of Leet and the " Whito Housemess," tho Tribune confessed and avoidedby averring that it must necessarily sup-port protection against freo trade. Lettho 'Tribune do this if it will or if it must,but let it call the thing which it supportsby its proper name, and profess its readi-ness to tolerate the " swindles " of theCustom-house as the condition precedentto perpetuating tho swindles of tho tar-iff.

For what more outrageous swindle canwell be imagined than this, which makesa farmer in America pay a penalty for at-tempting to increase the products of Am-erican soil and to put food into Americanmouths ? On tho stupid and anti-socialtheory of the protectionists themselves,that the ideal object of American states-manship should bo to impoverish othercountries as a means of enriching our own,this particular device of Protection is amost transparent swindle If a man goesto Europe and fetches away a bag of corn,of wheat, of barley, of turnip-seed, andbrings it ovor to America, and plants thefruitful germs here, he plainly deprivesEurope of the benefit of the crops to con-fer that benefit on America. With whatface, then, is he made to suffer for offer-ing this contribution to our resources ? Agentleman of bucolic propensities, whosename is sojiu-tiiu<'« mentioned in connec-tion with the Tribune, is well known tohave given the strength of his mind forseveral years past to the growth of tur-nips at Chappaqua. Was this particulartax introduced into the tariff by way of" protecting " the rutabagas of Chappa-qua against the " pauper labor " of theOld World1' If there is any one raw ma-terial which we in America possess insuch abundance as might well put Mr.Henry 0. Carey himself at his cage aboutforeign competition, that raw materialassuredly is land. In the production ofthe commodity of turnips land is theprincipal factor. How, then, does it cometo pass that after applying the wholeforce of his genius for years to the devel-opment of the turnip crop, the farmer of

was nothing more or less than to providoa sinecure office for Mr. Spaulding. Ac-cordingly Babcock prevailed apon*Ploas-onton, whon that worthy was Commis-sioner of Intornal ltevenuc, to nominateSpaulding for Assessor for tho District ofColumbia. Socretary Boutwell, however,knowing that Spaulding had been ft so-cessionist during tho war, hesitated andfinally refused to oonfirm the nomination.But Grant and Baboock were not to bothwarted thus. They next succeeded ingetting Assessor Ketchum, of the XintUHew York District, to recommend Spaul-ding for an Assistant Assessorship underhim. This nomination was iinally con-firmed, through somo hoeus-poous or oth-er, and spaulding has since drawn hiasalary regularly, though ho has neverbeon in his district nor dischaged any oftho dutius of his office, whilo tho Presi-dential household attend the theater allthey ohoose, arid it costs them "nary ared.'"

And tints o^r high-toned siud moralPre.-ident secures admission to the theaterindirectly at the expense of the people.Was there ever a moro disgraceful trans-action resorted to by any official befon ,much less the President of* tl^e,-Uniti'dStales 'i For what vulgar people wouldcall meanness, it certainly deserves tobear off the palm,— Free I'rais.

Ways and Means to Rob the People. .There is a committee in tho national

House of Representatives, whose originalobject was to deviso ways and means toobtain revenue for the maintenance ofthe government. But for several years,designing men have taken advantage ofthe unsettled condition of the country tomake this committee the agent of their.private interests, until its offorts havo,seeinod to bo for ways and means to robthe tax-payms tor tho beuetit of the mon-opolists.

The managers in this mercenary revo-lution aro shrewd, and tho steps by whitcli.they havo accomplished their object b'ayobeen gradual, and thus apparently tri-fling. When the country demanded rev-,en ue, they would plead that the peop.locould not pay taxes unless they were nr<>-tectid against "pauper labor" and" Brit-ish gold." What they meant by pauperlabor was really labor that did rtot tiiytribute to them. What thiy meant ?.'\-,British gold was all capital which entered'into competition with their special inter-est*. They sought the support of the,pro-ducers by placing a tariff on raw mater-ials, and thus they made this tax an >'\ -cuso for asking throe-fold piotuctj-^11for themselves. Step by step they pro-ceeded until every conceivable interestwas drawn into their copartnership andmade dependent upon the ring. Thoprinciple seemed to be to conceal the rob-beries of the great monopolies jinder aninterminablo dust of small protectivo du-.ties. They raised the duty on ono articlo.only to excuse a " lift" 911 another. Tliolever was applied! to a! corner of the struc-ture only to make another wedge neces-sary elsewhere. Thus tho revenue system.of this country has been erected on a se-ries of blocks until it has no solid or sub-stantial foundation, and consequentlyprices are inflated and business is feverish,and uncertain.

The present Congress was elected to re-form this unnatural system ; and the pres-ent Committee of Ways and Means wa& se-lected expressly to perform its legitimate)duties, which aro simply to deviso moansto rais? the largest amount of revenue a tthe !east expense to the people. Thocommitteo began this work earnestly,and with the confidence that the tjvslcwould be easy, becan e their duty sceniedto bo plain. But the monopolists havenot abated their efforts to mislead them.Indeed, they are more thoroughly organ-ized than ever, and their lobby Is more,dangerous to tho welfare of the country,than ever. They appeal to Congress in,behalf of all sorts of special interests, in.order to divert attention from the inain.'question, and they besiege the Ways andMeans Committee with tho most trifling;claims for the maintenance of every littlewodgc which has been drven into thotariff, because they know that if one sup-port is withdrawn the wholo feeble su-perstructure must finally fall. Frpm allparts of the country delegations havogone to Washington to look after pottyinterests, and to defeat the reform whichCongress is expected to make by dolaj ingaction and creating confusion in the ac-tion of the committee.

The committee would do wrong to lis-ten to tho clamors and complaints of in-,terested and selfish persons who have nothought but for their own profits. It 13not a question for the committeo to d e -cide whether the salt and coal and ironkings can acquire wealth in a reasonable,time; but it is for them to say thut nomonopoly shall extort money from the)

how it is, and tells it in this way :" X know when I have made a success

somo of the neighbors, and there is a so-cial timo in tho parlor. Or if I am at thelotel, tho 'boys' como around and invitemo to go out and oat oysters, and it is dif-icult to got away from them sometimes;o go to bed. There are people who seeme off in tho morning, and I hear it sta-:ed over and above board that if I shouldcome to that town again, tho hall wouldnot be largo enough to hold the people,fjittle boys on tho stroot aro rospoctful.But when I fail nobody is to bo introduo-d. Tho editor who in tho afternoon s;iidle must be sure and seo me after the loc-;ure, slips off home. His paper doosn'troach me either (unless it reaches mo un-dor tho fifth rib). The Secretary handsme tho stipulated amount with frigid po-liteness and departs. As I pass along thosidewalk on my way to the hotol, I hearsome little boy shout 'humbug!' in avoice of startling shrillness. Tho land-lord surveys mo with a look of pity as I en-ter (he has heard all about it) and I snenkoff to bed as soon as possible. No one at-tends me to tho depot in the morning toseo me off, and I overhear a rude fellowtell another on tho plalform, as I am aboutto step on the cars : 'If that fraud overcomes to this town again, ho'll get a headput on him.'"

p p p,Chappaqua limls himself unable to sellturnip-seed at a remunerative rate with*nn* interposing between himself and theEuropean turnip-grower such a barrierof taxation as will compel tho farmer ofVirginia to forego his importations fromabroad and submit to the domestic swin-dlo ? I t comes to pass in this wise.

The farmer of Chappaqua has been inleague all these years with a vast num-ber of other persons, each one of whomhas insisted that he shall be helped to aswindle in his own industry as the con-dition of helping his coadjutors to swin-dles in theirs. The results of tlio activi-ty of this league meet tho farmer of Chap-paqna, as they meet everybody else wholives in America, at every turn in life.The laborers of Europe, against whomthese confederates protect each other, canbuy to-day better bread, hotter clothes,better tools for their money than the far-mer of Chappaqua. His particular swin-dle in turnips ho pays for himself in boots,in coats, in ploughs, in hoes, in carts, inhorses—pays for it, and pays " throughtho noso " for it, wherevor he lives, andmoves, and has his being within the fis-cal control of the United States govern-ment ; and so ho insists that John Stew-art, of Virginia, shall lio made to reim-burse him, or else that Virginia shallgrow no turnips.

Now the Custom-honso swindle is bad,very bad. But the tariii-protection swin-dle, when one looks at tiie extent of itand the suffering it causes, at the good itforbids, at the selfishness it fosters, thelines of caste it draws keen and deepens—the tariff-protection swindle, we say, isfar worse. The 'Tribune protests againsttho losser and more obvious swindle ; andso far tho Tribune does well. But when oneasks the ZViWiJM whether it will follow upits protest by action, it falls back, ex-claiming that it cannot attack the Cus-tom-house swindlo in tho centre, for, aboveall things else in life, it feels itself boundto stand by and defend tho greater andless obvious and more demoralizing tariff-protection swindle. Whereof the end willassuredly be that tho Tribune, succumb-ing to tho service of the greater swindle,will find itself also supporting tho lesser.The turnips of Chappaqua will continue,

The President as a Dead Head.The Washington, correspondent of tho

New York World explains a little mys-tery in connection with the appointmentof William K. Spaulding, tho owner of atheater, as Assistant Assessor for the NinthDistrict of New York. Spaulding wasnot a supporter of Grant, and not a rosi -dent of tho Ninth District of Now York,nor any other part of New York, nndwhat led to hi« appointment has been amystery, which is now solved by thoWorld correspondent, as follows :

" I t seems that Mr. William E. Spaul-ding tho propriotor of the theater, who isa very polito man, lot in the Pres-identand his retainers as " dead-heads " for along time, but concluded that tho pres-sure was more than he could bear, andho commenced charging them admission,like common people. This was not to boendured, as it drew too hard upon thoPresidential purse strings; consequentlyGeneral Baboook, the finanoial memberof the White House Ring (he who plannedthe Snn Domingo job] set his wits to workand contrived a schetrio whereby the deadBead business could bo continued, which

The monop-olists do not advocate measures for rajs-ing revenue, but for raising their own.dividends. Tho committee sliould sim-piy take evidence to, show, first, what du-ties can bo dispensed' wifh in ordej to re-duce taxation without material loss to therevenue ; and, second, what duties can bomaintained at the least expense and withthe greatest advantage to trra revonue.

Woman Suffrage in Illinois.From the Chkkgo jQurnai.

In the Superior Court, yesterday after-,noon, Judge Jameson delivered a deqisioij.,in tho case of the people, at the relation,

• of Catherine V. Waite, against Horace)R. Stebbins and others, judges of election.of the First Precinct of Hyde Park, The.document is very lengthy, which factalone precludes our pub ishing it in full.The petition of the rnlp.tor in this case,'which was published in tlio Journa^ at thotime of filing, sets forth that she is abovethe ago of '21 years, married a freeholderin said town, and a resident thereof, aswell as of Cook county, in the S^ate of Il-linois, for the periods of time required by-law to entitle male citizens to voto ther'orin, respectively, at all general and specialelections. ,

Her petition a'so sets forth tlir.t <m the— day of November lust* the relator ten-,dered to the respondent, sitting as judgesof the fleet ion fht-n held in Hydo Park,her vote, offering to make the oath,' and,other proof required by law as conditionsof the right to vote, but that the vote ten-dered was refused by them, contrary tolaw and right. Upon this petition an al-temativo writ w;is issued, to which a gon-

ieral demurrer has boon filed, and thoquestion which tho court determined was,whether, upon a ground of law, a per-emptory writ should now be issupd. .

The opinion of the Court traverses thoentire ground on which suffrage is based,and, after oarefully and concisely defin-ing tho national government; tho term" citizen," a citizen who is entitled to vote.;tho privileges and immunities of oifizen-ship ; tho question of natural right to suf-frage, and tho meaning aud intent of thovarious late amendments to the FederalConstitution, the conclusion is that, wo-men havo not a right under our govern-ment—nor have they a natural right onthe ground of more citizenship—^to thosuffrage franchise;' and, in accordancowith this conclusion, the prayer of thowrit must bo denied.

Subsequent to tho general statementand before denying tho motion, the Courtsaid that " upon the policy of ,stv aflxjnd-ing our laws as to permit women to voto,1 shall only observe that, on principle, 1sec no ground for refusing to do so,\yhen-ever a general demand for the suffrii^* ismade by tho women themselves. Theyform a distinct class of persons, havingpeculiar rights and interests of which theymight be the best guardians if theywould assume the labor and responsibilitynt' that office. Be this as it may, onething seems to me clear, that if womenare to enter the Capitol with a view ( >

The perverse ingenuity displayed in ex-tracting from the plain English meaningswhat never inhered therein has often ex-cited our wonder, if not admiration. Yes-terday's examples aie very striking.

The editor of this journal was mored todiscuss in Monday's issue the call of aNational Convention by the so-calledLiberal Ropublteanfl of Missouri. Care-fully abstaining from prophecy, ho eluci-dated tho movement thns inaugurated tothe best of his ability. Now see tho twistgiven to that article by the World :

" We conclude from a remarkable arti-cle in yesterday's Tribune, evidently fromtho chief editor, that that journal despairsof defeating the nomination of GeneralGrant. This conclusion does not inpngnthe editor's political sagacity, for mostgood judges hold the fame opinion. But•why should the Tribune be in such hastoto proclaim its intention to support Gen.Grant if ho should be the Republicannominee? Tho TYibuiU declares that, intho event of Grant's nomination, it is notgoing with the bolters, but will supporttho regular Republican ticket."

Now wo had given no warrant for thisdeduction. What wo did Hay was to thiseffect: If tho Presidential canvass justahead should take tho shape of a fight forfree trade against protection (and this isintimated in the Missouri programme),tho TrUiune would of course be found bat-tling for protection. How can any onebe qualified to write for a metropolitanjournal who did not know this withoutbeing expressly told it ?

The Times distills from our articlo afore-said the following:

"For Mr. Greoloy to inake misstafo-ments which are sure to be exposed, forthe purpose of frightening the Adminis-tration into taking the ' running of the.Grant machine' out of the hands of 'Conkling & Co.,' with tho plain inference thatit must I'O given to Fenton, Greeley & Co.,is certainly not a dignified thing. Butneither is it an honorable thin<r. Mr.Greeley has made no secret of tho fact thathis vociferous complaints about tho NewYork custom-house were based on thofailure to give the Fenton clique tho pat-ronage they sought. Here is now a veryplain confession that a similar grudgesways his course on the Presidential nom-ination. It is not a pleasant sight to seoa man like Horace Greeloy putting up hishard-earned influence to be bid for, withan intimation tha. a proposition to givethe control of a political 'machine' to acorrupt Fenton crew would purchaso it."

This misrepresentation impels us to s^atethe fact that the Tribune has never yetfavored the re-nomination of any Presi-dent, will certainly not this year, and allthe offices in the Union cannot be no dis-pensed as to affect this determination.The editor has nover favored there-nomi-nation of a President during his 40 yearsof manhood, and placed on record morethan 30 years ago reasons for his adhesionto the one-term principle, which seemedthen, and still seem, to him conclusive.He has once supported a President for re-election, and may do so again; for hodoes not exalt the one-term principleabove every other consideration; but lienot only believes in it himself, but hasgood reason for his faith that Gen. Grantgave his assent to it less than four yearsago. Ho is well assured that the editor-ials in successive issues of the WashingtonChronicle, wherein this principle was for-cibly commended, were published, withhis knowledge and tacit ii not express ap-proval.

But wo further object to the re-nomina-tion of Gen. Grant that ho is manifestly a•weak candidate, there being very manyRepublicans who will oppose him if re-nominated. That it should be so in thisState, and in any other where, his heavyhand has been laid upon one " wing " ofthe party which elected him, is too plainto need proof. There are hundreds ofactive, prominent, influential Republicans•who have been expelled from office byhim, or his instruments, and who cannot,in the nature of things, work for his reelection as they would work for one whonever treated them as enemies. Whodoubts that it is so in other States ? Whobelieves that he could carry Louisiana af-ter the Galling gun performances of lastsummer, engineered in part by the broth-er-in-law who holds tho best Federaloffice in that State ? We speak to sensi-ble men, and demand an intelligent judg-ment on the undoubted facts.

Four or five years ago the Republicanscarried Georgia by a majority of 8,000.That majority has been squandered bymercenary corrupt officials, some of whomhave had tho decency to run away, andwho have ruined the party's prospects al-most beyond redemption. But thoughthere is but a skeleton of a party there isstill a State Committee; and that coin-niitteo gets together, elects to Philadel-phia a delegation composed mainly of itsmembers, and pledges them to Grant," first, last and all the time "—well know-ing that they can no more give to him anelectoral vote from Georgia than they canmake him Pope. Contrast this with Con-necticut, where the Republicans meet inconvention, nominate, a State ticket andchoose delegates to Philadelphia, takingcare not to pledge them to Grant. Canyou ask why ? They want to carry theirState in April, and know that tho way todo it is not to nominate Grant.

Now look at tho case of Missouri. TheSt. Louis Democrat, having turned its coatsince 1870, now belittles the Liberal move-ment, sa) ing it is ot no account, and theTime* echoes it, of course. But tho menwho led that movement to victory wereCarl Suhurz, Gratz Brown, Grosvenor,etc., and not one of these is for Grant. Onthe contrary, they aro all dead againsthim. The Times says they only led off22J0O0 Republicans in 1870. We answer,they led off enough to carry the State byover 40,000 majority. Perhaps enough ofthese have come back to reverse that ver-dict, but we know that there aro thou-sands of them who would voto for anoth-er Republican candidate, but will not votefor Gun. Grant. And there is scarcely anearly-balanced State in the Union where-in Gen. Grant is not a weaker candidatethan almost any othor Republican whocan be nominated.

Wo state facts well known to intelli-gent politicians. We do not say that Gen.Grant will not, if nominated, be elected;we do not gay that wo shall not supporthim; we do say that his nomination ren-ders doubtful a Republican triumph which,with a new candidate publicly pledged tgtho One-Term principle, would be mor-ally certain. And this is so palpable thatintelligent, thoughtful Republicans, whoesteem the causo more thun any man, arobound to consider it.

Ills Superior Attributes.There was a shamoless display of blas-

phemy in tho recent screed of SenatorChandler in the Senate against tho am-nesty bill. " God," exclaimed the trucu-lent Senator, " may forgivo an unrepen-tant rebel, but 1 never can." Tho boldblasphemy which ascribes to himself aloyalty superior to that of the Almighty,will at once strike the reader as of thomost infamous character, yet it is only aself-righteousness peculiar to tho Senatorand to the party of which he is a mem-ber. From the beginning it has assumedto act upon a knowledge supreme to thatof tho Creator, naid that it could mater-ially improve some of tho works of Hishands. Chandler may have a knowledgeof Radical politics superior to Deity, butwo cannot accept his assumption of su-periority on the divine attribute of for-giveness. If God can forgivo an unro-pi'iiiant rebel, and Chandler caunot, it isonly an evidence of how far tho latterstands from the path of Christian duty,and that he is IB rebellion agaiusi theDivine will.—Jfret 1'rani.

I'ruin theN. V. Evening Port,

The "OppcBitton " iu the National ( an-vass.

In 1868 General Grant was elected bya majority of three hundred thousand ina total vote of five millions and sevenhundred thousand. Florida, Mississippi,Texas and Virginia did not voto: theywould have reduced the majority only afew thousands. The total vote of thocountry at the Jast Congresssional eloetion was about five millions and five hun-dred thousand, and the Republican ma-jority was little more than forty thous-and. Tho Democrats had in two yearsgained seveni] States. But the Democratsand (ho labor reformers this year proposeto unite with tho Republican "bolters"and make a stronger appeal to the country for reform. I t is fair to say, there-fore, that the coalition would start withmore strength than tho Democrats had in1868. If it had simply the strength ofthe Democrats in the late Congressionalelections, upon tho basis of tho new ap-portionment it would have 17o of tho if*>7members of the (doctoral college, or with-in four of a majority. In this count, Ar-kansas, Florida, and Louisiana are giventho Republicans, making a difference ofsixteen electoral votes ; but thero is nodoubt that the votes of Arkansas andFlorida aro improperly counted, and tho(juarrels in Louisiana have turned UnitHtate against tho administration. If itshould appear that corrupt rings are tocontrol it, the Republican party would,therefore, bo Lu a minority at the openingof the canvass.

To be more definite : in a canvass likethat which is foreshadowed, the electoralvotes of twenty-five States would bo sureto be cast as indicated in tho first two col-umns below, and the other States wouldbo a fair field for a contest:

California is classed among RepublicanStates because it gave a Republican ma-jority last year, and because a new partywould probably have little influencethere. South Carolina is claimed by theopposition because the corruption of thoState government has weakened the Re-publicans, but it will probably supporttho administration under any circumstan-ces. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, andTexas have been lost by the Republicansthrough the corruption and quarrels ofthe party leaders. It is asserted by goodjudges that Louisiana and Florida shouldbo classed with the opposition States. TheRepublicans lost Missouri because of theinterference ot tho administration in localpolitics.

Of the States classed as doubtful, thosethat gave Republican majorities at thelast election aro : Connecticut, ;VV> ; Indi-ana, 4,690; Louisiana, 27,000 : Ohio, 1(4,-084; Pennsylvania, 14,000. Those whichLT tve Democratic majorities are: Nevada330; Now Hampshire, 1(331; Oregon, 5-13West Virginia, 1,800. Florida has nohad a fair trial. Xew York gavo the Republicans a majority of only 18,000 lasfall in a total vote of more than seveihundred thousand, and with all tho (thusiasm of tho reform movement to hel]them. New Jersey gave a Republican majority for members of the Legislature, bueluctod a Democrat for Governor by si)thousand majority. Few judges of poli-tics doubt that, if Congress fails to makethe reforms which the country demandsnearly all these clo^e States would sup-port an able Republican candidate nom-inated by iv coalition as against tho can-didate of tho Senatorial ring, whoever himight be. These States will have 138electoral votes under the now apportion-ment, while it would bo necessary to adconly sixty-four votes to the coalition col-umn to givo it a majority. The nowmovement would be strong in Now YorkCity, Philadelphia, Now Orleans, Cincin-nati, and Indianapolis, the principal cen-tres of tho doubtful States. In somo o;these places it is already organizing, ancits friends arc anxiously watching theproceedings of Congress. In the threegreat States of New York, Pennsylvaniaand Ohio, casting 1,800,000 votes, a changeof less than 25,000 votes is required tocarry eighty-four electoral votes againstthe administration.

But tho blind loaders of tho party an-swer that no able and influential Repub-licans will join a faction which appearsto be a forlorn hope. This seems to bereasonable. And yet there have been ex-amples enough of Congressmen and otherleading partisans who have left their par-ties. When the canvasses of 1850 and1860 began the Democrats found them-selves rapidly losing their most promi-nent leaders. Should Congress adjournin tho spring without rejecting the spoilsdogmas of such as Snapp and Carpenter,many of tho Republican Senators andmembers of Congress will find their al-legiance to the Republican party sensiblyweakened. Senator Schurz would loadtho now party in Missouri and hold thebalance of power thero. Tho disaffec-tion among the Republicans in Illinois,Indiana, and Ohio would break into op-en revolt. Now York seenis nearly ripofor u. similar change.

For wooks the question of the candida-cy has been discussed by the committeesof different parties. Two ideas seem todivido them. On the ono hand it isurged that the candidate of the coalitionshould be a Republican radical enoughtube distasteful to old Democrats—Mr.Charles Sumner, fur example. I t isthought that Mr. Sumner would be sup-ported in New England better than anyothor man, and that the frecdmen of thoSouth would givo him a very large vote.Ho would gather around him the old ab-olitionists and the independent thinkerswho take little part in politics, while thoDemocrats would vote for him because hohas fought tho administration so stub-bornly. On the other hand, it is urgedthat the candidate should be a conserva-tive Republican, like Mr. Lyman Truin-bull, or General Jacob D. Cox, or JudgeDavid Davis, or Governor John M. Palm-er, because, although either one of thesowould draw off fewer old Republicans,cithor would get votes enough to carrythe doubtful States, and would betterrepresent the reformers of the country.

This is the coalition canvass as it ap-pears to-day. A few weeks ago the cantphrase of tho office-holders to silence crit-icism was to assert that the malcontentswere only studying " How to beat Grant."If Congress continues to drag along atthe heels of the ring Senators, tho mon-opolists, the railroad lobbyists, and refus-es to take the President's advice, thoquestion will be troublcsomo to answer,

How to beat the coalition ? " The Re-publican party, as roprosontcd in. thoUnited States Senate, is now weaker intho country than it has been since 1860.It will find that delays are dangerous,and that what tho people demand are notpromises, but actual reforms.

PRIDAY MORNING. FFB. 9, 1878

THE ALABAMA "TEMPfiSTl"The cablt^for a week or ton days has

been burdened with dispatches full oflead and gunpowder, said dispatohca bv-ing tho essence of tho utterance* of theEngiish press- concerning the "Alabamaclaims" presented before tho Geneva ar-bitrators by the representatives of theUnited States. It seuuis that in makingup tho " case," tho Assistant Secretary ofState, probably with the consent and ad-vie.e nr dlTOOtion of President GKAVT andSecretary FlSH) preferred large and un-told claims for " consequential " or " indi-rect damages; " that is, for losses result-ing to American ship owners from beingcompelled to transfer their ships to Brit-ish owners, and for tho cost to tho nationby tho prolongation of tho war alterGettysburg, from which date our govern-ment claims that tho rebellion was keptalive by the aid of tho Anglo-Confederatecruisers and tho hopo of British interven-tion.

This slinking of the rod rag in the faceof JOHN- BULL was a veritable God-sendto the " opposition," for the GLADSTONEMinistry has a very lively " opposition,"and this "opposition" has from the firstcondemned the Treaty of Washington,and saw in "indirect" and "consequen-tial " damages their chance to drive GLAD-STONE from power. Parliamentary inter-vention and revocation was threatened,and tho responsibility of war thrown up-on tho poor, devoted head of BaOTHERJONATHAN. But this for political cffoct:Parliament meets, {lie Queen's address—see another column—is moderate in tone,

overt acts, und should it be driven frompower, a new ministry will scarcely abro-gate a treaty and provoke a war just be-cause claims have been preferred whiehthe Genova arbitrators can rule out, act-ing strictly in accordance with the Treaty.

I t js but fair to say, however, that themaking of tho obnoxious claims by ourgovernment was also a more politicaltrick, designed to work lip a " patrioticfooling" in the interest of our militaryPresident with fortunes on the wane, andto distraot tho attention of tho publifrom the charges of corruption and thplunderings of tho Custoin-houso andothor administration rings. Of the samipieco was tho untimely rosolution of inquiry offered by Senator EDMUNDS onTuesday, a resolution based on oablograms of mero newspaper articles, amagainst which even the wily and thickhided CAMEHON, chairman of tho Committee on Foreign Relations, put in ;mild protest.

— Late advices say that the Continontal journals do not commend tho tone othe English press, and even concodo thilegitimacy of tho " indiroct " claims.

THE American Newspaper Reporter says" Every publisher of a newspaper, whi" fails to write his member of Congress" loses tho golden opportunity to break"down tho monopoly which for more" than ton years has, by combination, sue" coedod in compelling every man who" buys a type to pay throe dollars for tha" which ho should otherwise have bough"for two. Mr. VOOIUIEES, of Indiana" has introduced a bill to place printing" type and material on the free list 'Will tho Reporter toll us what good woulcbe accomplished by tho editor of tho AltGUS writing to Hon. AUSTIN BLAIR, otthis district, a protectionist of theGKEEI.EY school ? I t might do for a Rad-ical and protectionist to " put a flea inhis car," provided consistency is of no ac-count, and ho is willing to use tho influenco and power of the press to shapo orcompel legislation not accorded to othorbranches of productive industry. Wearo neither tho ono nor the other, a Rad-ical nor an advocate of protection; norcan wo consent to join the clamor forspecial legislation for tho benefit of ourcraft. If it is right to protect tho ironmonger, salt boiler, coal miner, cloth man-ufacturer, wood-screw cutter, and othormechanical pursuits at the expense of thopeople, we don't see why tho typo-makershouldn't be also quartered upon the dearpeople. We will join the Iteporter andall other journals, uhose proj>riett/r*fccl andknow that they are being robbed by protectiveduties, in demanding from Congress an ex-clusive revenue tariff', but not in the spe-cial work marked out for us. Protectionis fraud, protection ig monopoly, protec-tion gives the government littlo or norevonuo, and we aro glad that tho type-foundors are opening atleast one eye ofthe press. Wo hopo that they will keepup their combination, and turn harderand harder the screws, until both eyesare open, and the press unitedly ready tojoin in an assault upon tho system itself.

—-Meantime, if wo can buy importedtype, or of founders not in the combina-tion, at cheaper rates than from membersof the association it is our right to do so.

LONDON, Feb. 5.

To the Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary oState, Washington:Sn:—In view of tho expression of opin

ion as to what the action of Groat Britsin should be is reference to tin Geneviconference on the part of Chief JusticiCookbnrn, and the general tone of tinEnglish press. I desire to be officially informed whether the Government of theUnited States will in any degree recedefrom its claims for indemnity, as recentlypresented.

Obedient servant,BOBEHT M. SHENCK,

Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary.DEPARTMENT OF STATS; Washington

Feb. .-).To tho Honorable Robert M. Schenek

Envoy Extraordinary and MinisterPlenipotentiary of the United States,London:Siu—You are authorized to affirm tha'

in no event will the Government of theUnited States recede from the position ilhas taken in relation to tho Washingtontreaty.

Your obedient servant,HAMILTON FISH,

Secretary of Stato.WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The position ta-

ken by gentlemen closely connected withthe administration of the government isthat the British High Commissioners per-fectly understood the views of tho Ameri-can High Commissioners in the negotia-tion of the treaty of Washington, bothfrom its terms and the assertion in thoprotocol, and that therefore our govern-ment is altogether justified in presentingthe case as it has, claiming consequentialdamages in case the Board of Arbitratorsshall not award a gross sum in satisfac-tion of the so-called Alabama claims.This government is willing to stand bytho decision of tho arbitrators. I t isknown that, though tho British Commis-sioners had full powers, they frequentlylOnaulted the homo government, and act-

ed in accordance with its wishes in allthey did. It is officially assorted that it;he claim for consequential damages hadnot been presented, and was not to bopassed upon, there might be a complaint>y the people of tho United States thatirovision was made for a partial settlo-iiont only of the ditleieuees between tho;wo countries. Such claim was, there-fore, presented for a full settlement in thenterest of peace, and to preclude further

disputes. This government has not yetrci Lved tho text of tho letter from Lordjranville to Gen. Schenck, and therefore:annot take official action upon it. Thereis no probability whatever that Our frov-trnment will withdraw any part of itstatoment of tho case, but will leave theBritish Government to pursue its owncourse or tho tribunal of arbstrators toict in the; premises according to the treatystipulations, nor is it likely that our coun-sel will take action in order to accommo-date the British Government.

CSpecial dispatch to the Now York Tribune]LONDON, Feb. 7.—Earl Granville's dis-

patch eantains no threat to withdrawroin arbitration, and makes neither a de-nanil nor a proposal. It simply calls at-:cntion, in temperate and conciliatorymguage, to the meaning that Englandttaches to the treaty. Gladstone's speech-

es yesterday and to-day aro only critieis-1 as misehievous, offensive and needlen-

y irritating) and it is believed severalmembers OI the Cabinet strongly disap-prove of their passionate tone. The Cab-inet and people aro unanimous for aban-doning arbitration unless the Amerioane.laiins aro modified. There is no inten-tion to offer an affront to America. Thesituation is regarded in the highost Eng-lish and American quarters as extremelygrave, but not hopeless.

H I N T I N G THE DEFAULTER.—The ex-amination of tho books of Mr. Hulin, tfiodefaulting State Prison clerk, which ha-;been going on for some months, is com-pleted.

LOXDON, Feb. c—At tbe opening of thesession of tho Imperial Parliament; to-daythe attendance ot members w;is anasuallxfull, jvhile tin! customary crowd of spec-tators was to be seen in the galloriej und"upon the floot of tlie House of Lords. ThoQueen's speech was read by Lent Chan-collos Hatherlv. It is as ollows:

1ST IiORSe AND (Vl-CiTI.EMES—I availmyself of the opportunity affi irdud i >y yourreassembling for the discharge of jzouxmomentous duties to renew the expressionof my thankfulness to (die Almighty forthe deliverance of my son from tho mostimminent danger and my lively recollec-tion of the profound universal sympathyshown by my loyal people during thatperiod of anxiety and triil. I purposethat on Tnesday, the 27th inst., eont'crin-i-bly to tho good aud becoming usagOS offormer days, the blessing thus receivedshall be acknowledged in behalf of thonation by thanksgiving in the Metropoli-tan Cathedral. At this celebration it ismy desire to bo present. Directions b (veb.Mii given to provide the necessary ac-commodations for the members of Parlia-ment.

Tiuu assurances of friendship that I re-ceive from foreign powers continue ill allrespects satisfactory, und I need hardlyassure you that my endeavors will at alltimes bo steadily directed toward thomaintenance of these friendly relations.The slave trade, and practices scarcely tobit distinguished from slave trading, arestill pursued in more than ono quarter ofthe world and continue to attract, the ai •tontion of my government. In the SouthSea [slaods the name of tlu; British Em-pire is oven now dishoTKHCcE by tho con-nection of some i>i lay subjects with thesenefarious practices, and in one of thorntho murder of an exemplary prolate hascast fresh light upon soine of tho balefulconsequences. A biU vri'i by presented toyou for facilitating tho trial of offenses ofthis class in Australia.

Various comm.uuicivtion& have passedbetween my government and that ofPrance on the nsbj at of thy commercialtreaty concluded in 1860. From the di-vergence ia views respectively entertain-ed iii relation to the value of protectivelaws, tliis covresnouden.ee luis not broughtabowi a»y agreement to r.-< .< if'y tltat im-portant convention. Both sides, however,have uniformly declared their earnest de-sire thai; notluug shall occur to impairtho cordiality which has so long prevailedbetween tho nations. The papers rela-ting to those subjects, will lx> laid befoucyon.

Tho arVitgatore appointed pursuant tothe treaty of Washington for the purposeof amicably settling the Alabama e-lainas,held their meeting ia Genera. Caseswore laid liefoce tlu; arbitrators in behalfof each pjurty to thxetrc-ity. In tbe case sosubmitted by the-*United States largeclaims were included, which are under-stood on my part not to be vritLiu fieprovince of tbe1 arbitrators On this sub-ject I have caused a friendly communica-tion to be made to the Government oftho United States. Tire Rnrperor of Ger-many has undertaken to arbitrate on theSan Juan water boundary, and tho casesof the two governments have been pre-sented to his Imperial SfajeSty. Tho Com-mission to sit at Washington has been ap-pointed and is in session. The provisionsof the treaty which require UieocnseMfedfthe Parliament of the Dominion of C'UJMV-da will bo considered on its assembling.

Turning to domestic affairs, I am gladto apprize you that, with very few excep-tions, Ireland has been free from seriouscrime. Trade in that part of the King-dom has boon active and the advance inagricultural industry remarkable.

I am able also to congratulate you, sofar as proscrit experience allows judgmentto be passed, upon the perceptible dimin-ution in tho number both of graver crimesand habitual criminals in Great Britain.

Gentlemen of tho House of Commons,the principal estimates for the coiningyear have boon prepared, and they will atonce bo laid l>eforo you. I trust you willfind thorn suitablo to tho circumstancesof t he country. The state of tho revenueaffords favorab'.o indications of the de-mand for employment and of tho generalcondition of tho people—indications thatare corroborated by :» decline of pauper-ism not inconsiderable.

My Lords and gentlemen, your atten-tion is invited1 to several measures of ac-kncmrledttcd national interest. A\these are bills for the/improvement of pub-lic education in Scotland ; for the regula-tion of mines'; for tho amendment of thelicensing system; for fixing tho relationsof the superior courts' of justice and ap-peal in particular. A bill having for itsmain object tho establishment of secretvoting, together wit!:' a lneasui-G relatingto corrupt practices at Parliamentaryelections, will Ixr immediately presented.Sevor.il measures of :i<'.'!Miuisira¥iYe im-provement in Inland vfiil bo laid beforeyou, likewise legislative provisions found-ed on tho report of tho Sanitary Commis-sion. You, my lords and gentlemen, will,I aru confident, apply your well knownassiduity to the work of legislation whichfrom tho increase of exigencies of modernsocit'ty still seen» to grow upon your hands,and I shall continue to rely, under Prpvi-denco, alike in the loyalty of my peopleand yonr energy and wisdom to sustaintho constant efforts of the crown tiy dis-charge the duties, uphold the rights anddefend tho honor of the Empire,

building materials? Evidently nonebut it would be impossible b, frame a law

i would not treat tbosai two ownersnliko. Suppose again tho case of two ad-joining low on which stores wore burntdown, where the owner of ono was fullyinsured in a solvent company, and thoother either not insured at all or in a com-pany which broke down under the latedisaster. The first can rebuild his storewith his insurance money; the other hasnothing left but his lot and the rubbishand ruins which cover if. What equitywould there be in reimbursing to oiues which ho nover suffered whilo aidingtl«- other who was a real loser ? A huu-

inight bo suggested showingt'ue inequity of such a. bill in. its practicaloperation. Bat we do not insist on thisolass of objections; the real» fatal vice-ofthe hill boid-,' its infraction of the above-quotod provisions of the Constitution,which require all duties to bo uniformthroughout the United States, and pro-hibit any regulation of commerce or rev-enue which would give a preference tothe ports of any particular State. Thereis really no mole, reason why Congressshould undertake to reimburse tho lossesof tho Chicago sufferers than why itshould make whole any individual sujfer-er by fire in any part of the United biates-Thu Federal Government was not intend-ed tcv be a general insurance company,aud it is not safe for (iemgresa to exercisepowers, not conferred by tho Constitu-tion.

I E JL>

The CbieagvBelfef Bill.We have no doubt that the bill for the

relief of Chicago, which has passed tho;ho Senate, but is still subject to rocon-sideration in that body, isunconstitution-il. A motion to reconsider was pendingyesterday, but a vote on it was postponed:>y the decision of the Senate to take upother business.

It may seem an ungracious, and per-ps an ungenerous thing to object to

any measure of relief for a city so sniit-;en as Chicago. But unreflecting kind-ness must not prevail over principle. Thelowers of Congress aro defined aud limit-;d by tho Constitution ; and no motivesf pity or kindness can justify that bodyn exceeding its authority.

The bill which has passed the Senatemd is now under reconsideration, as wounderstand it, proposes to admit intohicago, free of duty, all building tnater-

als to be used in the reconstruction ofhat desolate city. Tho objections to suchi bill are so numerous and so weightyhat it never could have been passed ifympathy and humane feelings had notubuued and silenced the judgment of

Senators. The bill is a plain, palpablenfraction of tho Constitution. That in-trument contains these provisions :

All duties, imposts, and excises shall bealiform throughout the United States.

jffb preference shall be given, by any regu-ation ot commerce or revenue, to theport*f mi- State over those of another.The bill for the relief of Chicago is in

•lain violation of these explicit provis-oes. If lumber and other building ma-eriala are received into Chicago on dif-erent terms from thosn which regulateheir importation into other ports, dutiesvould not be " uniform throughout thoJnited States," as the Constitution rc-uiros. Moreover, such a law would giveo Chicago a preference in " regulationf commerce or revenue " to the ports ofthor States, in defiance of the Constitu-iori. Tho bill could not stand a mo-lent'a discussion in a legislative body

rhere feeling and sympathy did not iu-irfere with the exercise of judgment.W* doubt whether tho bill would |be

ist, even if Congress had constitutionalower to pass it. Many of the real estatewncrs of Chicago have been ruined byIO fire, and are too glad to sell theirroperty. They get for it what they can ;ut UiJ purchasers, mostly speculatorsoni other place?, who did not suffer byic Bre, have no better title; in sympathyion tin; original owners had in law toxjemption from the uniform operation ofio revenue laws.

East Saginaw and Ann Arbor Railroad.From the Nhiawasse American.

We briefly adverted in our last issui; tothe prospects of the Ann Arbor, Corunnaand East ttagincvw Railroad, and hopedat that time to be permitted this week togive our reasons for tho assurance that wothen made in regard to its speedy con-s'.ruction. Wo luvvo now, however, onlyto say that the Directors have this weekheld ii meeting, and that negotiations aronow in progress which wo bcliovo will re-sult in tho completion of tho road morethan one-half the distance south fromEast Saginaw to Ann Arbor by tho 1stof November next. Wo repeat that wehavo the strongest reasons, which to usare conclusive, to believe what wo horostate, though for prudential considera-tions wo cannot at this time make thornpublic. Meanwhile, wo copy the follow-ing from tho East Sagiuaw Daily Cuurierof a Jate dato :

Lato developments go to show thatthe Toledo and Ann Arbor Road, whichfor some time hal been under a cloud, isto bo built. On tho construction of thisroad depends the success of tho East Sag-i aud Aim Arbor liailroiul Company,organized in 1H70, and the project is againurged with, strong assurances of rapport.The folllowing letter from tho officers oflie road, addressed to our well known

I fcavo used Kennedy's Concentrated Ettraet ofPimi» Cannijeiisia for about el;»lit luonths in someaffections of the rectum, raglm, and cervix uteri • Ihavo used it, considerably diluted, as a vaginalwash, with preat success; but I prefer to apply itto the ostincie on cotton wool either pure or mixedwith glycerine, orglyoerlne and rose water. Thusapplied, it should remain intact for two or three oreven four days, aud then be rcnowed In this wayI Imve seen chronic granular va'jinitirs remedied ina few days that had resided the ordinary remediesfor weeks ; and I have seen sraunlar erosions, withleucorrhiBa. disappear very rapidly under its use.

A (•'ohlrn Island In Vermont.There is some stir in Windsor County,

Vermont, on tho subject of gold mining,occasioned, as the Burlington Free 1'rcnsexplains, by tho following circumstances:•• An island has been formed at one pointin tho Win to River, by tho yearly washof mud brought down from the hill sidesfor miles by the rapid stream. It is ofabout fifteen acres, and has for yearsbeen cultivated and used as pasture, withgood profit to its owners. It onco form-ed part of the property of tho late Mer-rick Gay. Last summer a tnnn namedSaltry, an Englishman by birth, as weare told, well informed, well educated inmining and metallurgy, and having hadpractical experience in the Californiagold regions, got his eye on tho island,and having made what investigations bedesired, leased it of the present owner fora small sum, §50 for the first year, and$100 a year thereafter, with some privi-leges in addition, as wo are informed.Bofore long it was noised abroad that Mr.Saltry was finding gold in paying propo-tions on tho island, and ho was not long•without plenty of offers for rights to dig,the owner of the land himself paying$500 for one. Mr. Saltry does not intendto dig himself, but to let out the wholoterritory in small tracts ; and probablyas soon as spring comes the island will beall worked over. The soil is black sand,in which grains of gold of more or lessfineness can bo seen with the eye Aquantity of gold washed out by Mr. Sal-try and sent to New York for assay gavetho value of tho ore at $1,680 to tho ton.

What a Dream Did.Tho Fort Wayne Sentinel soberly nar-

rates the following as a fact:A gentleman of high social position, liv-

ing in this county, has a son engaged asclerk in a largo mercantile house in Oma-ha. A few weeks ago tho father receiveda letter from his son to the effect that hehad boen robbed of $5,000 belonging tohis employer, whilo returning from a col-lecting trip into the country. The fatherwas naturally troubled about the intelli-gence, and when he retired to his roomfor tho night ho lay awake for some timethinking of tho unfortunate occurrence.

, At last he fell asleep, and, as it seemed tohim, Se was sitting by a table in ft bedctramber of Hotel, in Omaha, listen-ing to tho conversation of two young menwho wore recalling tho particulars of arobbery in which they had just been con-eorned, whilo they counted over the pro-seeds of tho samo with an exultant air.

learning tho number of their room, hedescended tho stairs, consulted the regis-ter, fixed their names in memory, togoth-ea with the dato under which they werowritten, and then awoko. Ho immediate-ly wrote a letter to his son, requestinghim to call at the • Hotel, look at theregister, and if ho found tho names ofJohn B. Wilson and James Frank inscrib-ed on its pages under the date of Novem-ber, to have the parties found, arrestedand charged with the theft of the $0,000.Tho son followed the directions, and froma letter received by the father yesterdaywe learn that the said John B. Wilsonand James Frank were arrested at thesaid hotel, and they confessed tho felony.$4,812 of the lost money was recovered,and tho offendors have been sent to thepenitentiary.

Gossip Abont Two Divines.A Louisvillo correspondent says of Rev.

Stuart llobinson:May I not tell a joke on tho Reverend

Doctor of South Divinity ? He enjoys ajoke, and I am sure he will laugh at thisone. It was reported dttring his illness,while ho was very low—even at tho verygate of the eemetry, so to speak—thattho physician found it necessary to resortto the transfusion of blood in order tosave his life. Tfri&extmordinery surgicaloperation was much talked about by thefrienrfs and acquaintances of tho greatman whoso life was supposed to havebeen thfls almost miraculously saved.Everybody wanted to learn the particu-lars about it—how it was don«, and bywhom—and one gentleman pressed thomatter so far as to ask a Presbyterian notin sympathy with Dr. Robinson : " Whatanimal did they take tho blood from?"" From a mule of course I" was the reply.This joke will not need any explanationfor those who knew Dr. Robinson's repu-tation for downright stubbornness. Therewas no transfusion, however.

It is said that Dr. Robert J. Brocken-ridge, on his death-bod, only a shorttime before Dr. Robinson was taken ill,said that " two things are necessary forthe good of tho Presbyterian Church inKentucky and tho South—first, that theLord take mo to heaven ; second, that hotake Dr. Robinsou baok to Ireland, andkeep him thore."

A Confession of (Jnilt.The frequent propositions which are

being introduced into Congress in orderto cnablo certain business interests toavoid tho reaction of the ruinous protec-tion policy, is a confession, on the part oftho friends of that policy, that its main-tenance is destructive to the prosperity oftho country. The propositions to aidship building by the payment of a per tonbonus to tho builders, is an admission thatthe protection policy is a destruction ofthe foreign carrying trade of the country.It is a plea in favor of robbery, in directterms, of the taxpayors for the promotionof individual interests. The bill for therelief of Chicago, now pending in Con-gress, is anothor confession of tho destruc-tivo tendencies of the protective policy.It proposes to admit all articles used forthe rebuilding of Chicago duty free. Ifit is necessary to the prosperity of Chica-go that such material as is used in re-building it shall be admitted duty free,it is equally essential that all materialused for tho building of towns find citiesin every part of the country shall be ad-mitted in the samo manner. We insistthat if it is right, as applied to that city,it is equally right as applied to the wholecountry. A policy of government in thisdirection which is essential to the pros-perity of Chicago cannot fail to bo esson-tial to the prosperity of every ether townand city. The principlo must be generalin its application. If a protective policyadvances tin? remunerative interests oflabor, why should thero be a propositionbefore Congress to depress that interestin Chicago, as a means ot aiding in itsbeing rebuilt ? Is there not a saanifostabsurdity in the proposition ? Is it truethat tho tariff protects labor ? Again, iftho tariff protects labor, is not tho propo-sition for tho relief of Chicago simply oneto depress labor for tho benefit of capital ?Tho whole fact is that this Chicago prop-osition is a confegeion of guilt on tho partof the advocates of tho protective policyin Congress. It is a confession that theassumption that a protective policyenhances tho material interest of thocountry is a sham and a falsehood. Thatit is, on the contrary, a burden of laborand millstone about tho necks of tho peo-ple. They are seeking-to dodgo by spoei-fic enactments a pretended principlowhich should, if truo, be universal in iteapplication.—Free I'reu.

Better Care of the Horse Needed.Tlu'i'e is nothing in the economy of

lic>rsekei?pin<; that is of more consequoticothan diet, nml the discoverr of remediesfor diseases. In it st;do of nature, animalsare not subject to disease, or very seldomso, but under domestication the cast) ischanged. They are horn at the mercy oftheir owners, and ninety-nine out of onehundred of their diseases are attributa-ble, either directly or indirectly, to wantof proper feeding and care, and especial-ly so among horses doing fast work. Incities, want of ventilation is one of tin;crying evils, and in the country too muchventilation is often iv oause of disease.

Thero is no animal on the farm that itwill pay better to keep warm and com-fortable than the horse, nis coivt is thinn-ed and shortened by grooming, and con-sequently tho aniiuul is not able to with-stand tho changes in the weather as arethose whose coats are left to increaso withtho cold. We think a few concise ruloswill not be amiss as a guide in this direc-tion. Tho consumption of food shouldbo regulated by the weather, tho condi-tion, work, age, temper, form and healthof tho horse; and these circumstancesmust regulato tho allowance. The fol-lowingi concise rules are laid down in tho" Stable Bock," by Stewart and Allon :

" When the liorso has to work as muchand as often as In; is able, his food shouldbo unlimited.

" When tho work is such as to destroythe legs more than it exhausts the system,the food must be given with some re-striction, unless the horsy be a poor eater.

" When the work is moderate, or lessthan moderate, a good feeder will eat toomuch.

" When the weather is cold, horses thatare much exposed to it require more foodthan when the weather is warm.

"When the horse is in good workingcondition, ho needs less food than whileho is only getting into condition.

" Young, growing horses requiro a lit-tle more food than those of mature age ;but, as they are not tit for full work, thedifforence is not great.

" Old horses those that havo begun todecline in vigor, require more food thanthe young or the matured.

" ilot-tompsred, irritable horses seldomfeed well; but tlioso that have good ap-petites require more food to keep than)in condition, than others of quiet andcalm disposition.

"Small-bellied, narrow-chested horsefrequire moro food than those of deep nncround carcas ; but fow of them out enouglto maintain them in condition for fullwork.

"Lamo, greasy-heeled, and harness-galled horses require an extra allowaneeof food to keep them in working condi-tion.

" Sickness, fevers, inflammations, al'diseases which innuenco health so muchas to throw the horse off work, demand,with few exceptions, a sparo diet, whichin general, consists of bran-mashes, grasscarrots and hay."

Careful attention to these rules willenable tho horse owner to save muchvexation, time, and money, in the econo-my of tho stable and breeding stud. Itis as necessary that he study soinothingof tho conditions necessary to tho wellbeing of his animals, as of the other de-partments of farm economy. The horseis the noblest of man's servants, and ex-tra care bestowed hero is always amplyrepaid.— W&terQ Rural.

The Location of Buildings.One of the most important things that

a farmer has to decide when ho is aboutto put up new buildings is how to locate;thorn so as to secure all the advantagesthat may be within his reach. First, adwelling-house should never bo locatedwhore there is likely to be Water in thocellar, and a wet soil should always beavoided. The house should always, wheroit is possible, bo placed facing the oast orHouth, so as to get tho bright, health-giv-ing sunbeams into nearly all tho rooms.Many otherwiso sensible make sad mis-takes in locating their houses, and find itout after some of their family havo fallonvictims to disease caused by the unhealth-incss of the location of their dwelling-house. We have suen many a cellar wheroat certain seasons of tho year thero couldbe found water to a considerable depth,and tho wonder is that any person couldbe so short-sighted as to build on such aspot. Wo could onlargo on this point, butwo hopo that none will bo so blind us towholly disregard tho laws of health, andso need to bo told of their duty over andover again.

In locating out-buildings, not so muchcare need bo observed ; still it is quite im-portant that the bust judgment should beused, especially in locating barns. It isalways better to have a cellar under thebarn; and it should, if possible, face eastor south, so that tho pigs under the barn,and the cattle that are turned out in thoyard, may bo protected from tho coldnorth winds. There are other considera-tions to be taken into account in placingout buildings. They should be conveni-ently situated, so as to save time and la-bor as much as possible; yet we wouldnot aduiso tho hitching together of all thobuildings on the farm, as is too often thecase in tho country, becauso in caso offire all would be consumed. It is gener-ally bettor to placo all farm buildings onelevated land, if such a place can bo foundon the farm. Volumes have been writtenon these matters, but still it is importantto call attention to the matter again.

Where to Set Apples Trees.A correspondent of an exchange writes :The habit of setting trees c!oso to fen-

ces obtained long ago when our landswere new and unexhausted. Applo treesthen would flourish under any treatmentand in defiance of neglect. Hence manyfarmers planted them closo to fences toget them out of the way, so that theywould not havo to bo hawed and geed inplowing. But a chango has taken place,lands have becomo exhausted ; tho soa-sons appear less favorable to fruit cul-ture, and trees, genorally, loss hardy thanformerly; and like most other vegetationand crops demand and must receivo groatcare, or fmit will not be gathored in goodsupply. With these facts, patent to allobservers, how can a sober, reflecting or-chardist urge a continuance of that un-profitable and obsolete system of fruitculture ? I advise any farmer who pro-poses to sot out any given nutnbor of ap-ple trees, if he would deserve and antici-pate success, to not set closo to fences norrely on old fog or any drifting material,leaves or snow to fertilize them; but hav-ing selected, a suitable, location, put theground in good condition by generouscultivation, deep and thorough plowingand dressing; select thrifty trees and setthem carefully, and continuo to cultivateand keep mellow the entire ground setapart for tho orchard; allow n9 fences orother obstructions to provent your culti-vating on all sides of the trees planted ;attend to properly pruning at the propertime, so as to develop symmetrical andwell-balanced tops ; aud a fow years willmake the young orchard not only thomost charming featuro of the farm, butthe most valuable in point of pleasureind profit.

WHAT HE WANTED.—A stranger oneday passing through a certain street wasseized by a " barker" of a clothingstore, who, without ceremony, pulled himinto tho shop, and began puffing up hisfino ready made clothing. Being old andinfirm, ho mado littlo resistance, but ask-ed tho man if ho was tho master of theplace.

" No, sir," said the " barker," " but Iwill bring him immediately."

Tho man returned with the master, towhom he put tho same question.

" Are you tho master of tho store, sir ?"" Tea, sir, what can I do for you ? "" Only," he replied, " just hold your

man a minute, while I go out."

Tho Kentucky Court of Appeals hasdeclared that tho inutality of an engage-ment may be proved against a young lady"by showing that she demeaned herselfas if she concurred in or approved theyoung man's promises or offer. It is notnecessary that there should be an expresspromise on either side.
