Tabis, Aug. 16, 18G7 Editors of the American
Artisan: 1 may safe'y say that It would hardly
be safe to attempt to write anything except on
the aubjoct of "Safes" at thU time. Supposing
Vhat all the prelim'uary correspondence and
articles of agreement are known to you, I will
merely ay that It was considered by the com
mittee as practically impossible to have here,
and with what they have, a thoroughly scien
tific trial. So the committee decided to see what
took and men each party proposed to use on his
opponent's safe; and alter allotting to each
party three men, and comparatively the same
amount of tools, the committee prepare i to note,
during the operations, the effectiveness of tools
and men, which, by proper observation, would
enable them to judge of the comparative merits
of the two safes in their capability of resisting
those kind of tools which the men of cither side
might use.
The trial as to the opening was public as far
a possible, being limited only by the size of
the building In which it took place. Every
thing being prepared and declared ready ou
both sides, at 2 43 P. M., on the 13th instant,
the signal was given and both parties com
menced. Chat wood's men attacked Herring's
safe with wsdges and hammers; Ilurring's men
attacked Chatwood's safe with a drilling appa
ratus. At 315 the outside or Are-proof doors
of llerriup's safe were thrown open. At 340
Herring's men gave up the drilling, and, throw
ing aside their drilling apparatus, commenced
With wedges and hammers. The cheers which
arose from the English lookers-on when the
outside door of Herring's safe was thrown open
were loud and hearty; but they were fully
equalled by the cheers from the Americans
(though in numbers only as 9 to 35) when, at
435 the outside plate of steel of Chatwood's
safe was thrown aside by Herring's men; thus
exposing the outer suriace of hard undrillable
casting. Fifteen minutes sufficed to entirely
remove this formidable (to drills) material, the
process being very much similar to peeling the
bark from an oak tree.
Taking a look at Herring's safe, we find Chat
wood's men wedging at the door, apparently
with a good prospect of getting in tome time
or other. We hear many spectators remarking
about the tremendous blows given by one of
Chatwood's men with the sledge; be handled it
finely, while the same persons remarked tht
the sledge of Herring's men was too heavy, and
not one of the party was able to use it to advan
tage. At 650 it was evident that both sets of men
were becoming exhausted; and this being a
question of 6afes, not men, it was deemed ad
visable to refresh the men. Operations were
therefore stopped; and while the men were
refreshing themselves the committee ex
amined both sales; and they came to the
- conclusion that, as to security, the merchants
and bankers of America and England were in a
' position to place their valuables beyond the
rtach of ordinary burglar appliances.
After stopping for forty-five minutes, and each
set of men declaring they were ready to resume
operations, the signal was given, and then com
menced the exciting times ! The inner plate
and door-framing of Chatwood's safe were soon
in a condition to admit daylight, but not to
admit a man's hand to take out a block of wood
(6 inches by 3 inches and 2 inches) which was
Inside, and which was a duplicate of a block in
Herring's safe each block having been placed
in their respective safes by Chatwood and Her
ring; and in order to have no dispute as to what
was meant by the word "opening," it was pre-
Tloasly agreed that the production of either
block of wood should be the only evidence the
committee would receive as proof of either safe
having been opened
The outer part of the burglar-proof door of
Herring's safe now showed signs of soon coming
off; while the inner plate of Chatwood's safe
showed similar indications Neither the Com
mittee nor the nubile could remain seated.
Tools were in bad condition on both sides, but
so new ones could be admitted. If Herring's
men could only have had one of the two large
wedges they had brought, but which the Com
mittee did not allow to be used, Chatwood's safe
Would have been opened at once. The room
was yery warm; the workmen were sweatlne and
tired; the spectators were excited; hundreds of
hearts beating with anxiety for the success of
the safe which represented their side of the
Atlantic; for the trial had so far been so very
Jair that each person in the building knew that
the safe which held its block the longest would
by the public be considered the best. Herring's
door felt the effect of those tremendous blows
bo well given by one of the best strikers I ever
aw; Chatwood's inner plate felt very seriously
, the effects of the remnants" of wedges and
' : chisels.
705 P. M. Nearly every oae is looking at the
burglar-proof door of Herring's safe, expecting
that the next minute will be its last; the outer
plate yields and falls on the Boor, followed by
tremendous cheers from its opponents. Think
ing it was the public reception of the block
which had been placed in the custody of Her
ring's Safe, the man working on Chatwood's
Safe stopped their operations for a moment, and
were going to look at their favonte, when they
were told that the block was jet behind the
fraukllnite lining; they then resumed ope-
rations, and in about fifteen minutes nine
tenths of the people , who . were watch
ing the - Herring door heard something
which made some of them change color, and
which made all of them tn-n around hurriedly;
It was the falling of the Inner plate of Chat
wood's safe I The block, however, was yet be"
kind the sheet-Iron inner lining, which held the
fire-proof material. A crowbar goes suddenly
through this and rips a hole sufficiently large
not only to admit a hand and arm, but to allow
the taking out of the block of wood, which
could have been sold on the spot (few Ameri
cans as were present to see ir) for its weight in
liver; but it was not for sale, its destination
being New York. Mr. Herring's son received an
, offer on the spot of 20 francs a pound ($15,000 in
gold) for his safe, just as it was; bat the safe is
alBO destined for your city.
Cheers had been given when
door of Herring's safe was opened; and again
when tbe outer plate of Chatwood's safe came
ff; again when the outer plate of Herring's
burglar-proof door came ofT; again when the
kiner plate of Chatwood's sufe fell down; but at
7-20, when the block taken 'from Chatwoad'e
ate was held up for the people to see, tbere was
in that "English test-house" a cheer followed by
other cheers which I will not attempt to do-

scribe (we had no instrument for measuring
sound), but it made every American, whether
native or adoptod, feel that It was "good to bo
there."
Let us now look at Herring's safe: the frank
linltc Is being wedged away from the inner
plate, aud the spectators can becln to see the
interior, but the opening is smaller than the
block. Chatwood's men keep at work on Her
ring's safe, as the committee decided that, in
order to judce of the re'alive mprits, each block
must be produced; but after working for twenty
minutes more, as It was beginning to get dark,
it was decided to stop work until the next
morning.
Next day, at 11 A. M. they recommenced, and
at 1104 the block was produced; the men who
had obtained it cheering loudly. The com
mittee now decided that Mr. Chatwood had
thrown his block in carelessly on the top of the
irou shelf, under which are two drawer, and
that In order to judtre of the relative merits of
the two ea'es, Mr. Herring'? three men should oe
recalled and open the drawers of Chat wood's safe,
so that the block eould be taken from one of
them, "if It had been placed in either." As tho
men were not on hand, it was agreed to wait
tea minutes, and that, if they could not be
found in that time, Mr. Holme3 and Mr. Picker
ing should be considered as equal to the three
men and should proceed to open tho drawers.
Ten minutes passed away, and the three men
not being found, Messrs. Holmes and Pickering
took off their coats, and soon declared them
selves to be ready. Time was called; work was
commenced; but only one person could labor at
once. Mr. Pickering seieed a crowbar, thrust
one end of It through the opening, pried up the
iron shelf, took out one of the drawers, placed
it on the top of the shelf, and called out for
"time." The answer came, "Three-quarters of
a minute," which the committee decided to call
one minute, and add it to the previous day's
time.
Let us now look at the figures and the relative
merits. Total time occupied in opening Her
ring's safe, 4 hours 14 minutes. Time spent in
operating upon Chatwood's safe (including the
one minute of the 6econd day's work), 3 hours
51 minutes. Deduct from this the tlmo occupied
in drilling the last-named safe (each safe being
opened by aid of wedces, hammers, and bars
only), 57 minutes; net time, 2 hours 54 minutes.
Superior resistance of Herring's safe shown by
time of 1 hour and 20 minutes. T. R.F.
P. 8. Herring's sate was only one of his
"third-class" safes; but Chatwood's was his
"tirst -class" sate.

He was taken to tbe Station House, and soon

This man. when found, was lying near a gate,

Growing Reputation, If the entire corres
pondence from South America, Central Ame
rica, and the West Indies, received by Messrs,
Hostetter & Smith during the last twelve
months, were published at length, It would
probably be considered one of the most extra
ordinary collections of approbatory testimony
on record. Tbe letters, written In every variety
of style, and emanating from individuals of
almost every class, are, nevertheless, all of the
same tenor. Physicians, priests, merchants,
planters, military officers, artisans, lawyers,
etc., tell one story, admitting, without reserve
or qualification, that tbe tonics heretofore in
use In those regions have been generally and
justly superseded by Hostetter's Bitters,
The confidence manifested by the people of
these countries might be fairly called enthusi
astic. Yet these are not tbe ouly tokens of tbe
growing popularity of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The foreign orders for tbe article from Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, China, Japau, East
Indies, Cape of Good Hope, Sandwich Islands,
etc., have been heavier than at any former
period.

HARD KNOCKS BY WENDELL PHIL
HPS.
General Grant, Senator Pessenden, and
the Whole Radical Congress Floored.
JiVow the A.nti- Sluvery Standard.
Grant at last has spoken, and blundered.
How be stalked luto tbe Secretaryship, bis
friends boasting bis ereat power to prevent
miscniet! went uiisctiiei nus ne prevented?
.None. The only power he claimed ttgilnst tbe
President a moment's thought obliges him to
renounce. This is our "piactical" statesman,
whose Hint move Is u blunder I This was our
Hi. Michael, whose resistless sword was to mow
down tho Satan of tbe fallen nosll Instead of
that, we find that be does not even know ho w to
draw it!
Tbe ereat nocular leader sinks to be only tbe
President's (Secretary, issuing ordersjue abbors:
sits liko "ancient Pistol, " eating his leek and
grumbling! Was ever boastful promise followed
by sucb miserable failure ! Tbe General of the
United (states is to-day a weed caught in the
Presidential maelstrom, and unless some better
brains than bis own come to the rescue, sure
soon to be swallowed 1 n the vortex. Let no Grant
man alter this call Johnson a clumsy knave;
be nas found wit enough to befool the model
leader, whose silence passed for tbe highest
wisdom the puff of whose cigar was states
manship. Once before there was an animal
which passed lor a uou tin ne spoke.
uraut's menus excused tne sname or nis
caking Stanton's olllce on the ground that be
got thereby so muoh power to prevent mischief.
What power to prevent mischief bas he gained
Dy becoming beoretary 7 Aosoiuteiy none, nis
remonstrances are totally disregarded; be is
obliged, as Secretary, to issue orders be dislikes
and wait till, as General, be can do something
to avert their sad results, evidently, men, he
bas gained no beneilulul power by taking tbe
War Department. Has be, by sucb an act,
assumed a position which teaches the people?
Wbat valuable lessons do the people learn from
the sight of their admired and trusted leader
befooled Into this sorry plight by brains so
muddled that when, as Secretary, Grant remon
strates against a measure, Johnson, forgetting
that Grant Is anything but a General, charges
him with "insubordination !" As if a Cabinet
ofllcer could be guilty of "insubordination!"
We challenge the South to produce a negro as
unfit to vote as this man shows himself to pre
side over a Cabinet.
Grant bas not, as Secretary, averted any mis
chief. Has be oy taking the office roused and
taught tbe people T To fasten publlo attention
more thoroughly on this plotted treason, to
rouse them to their duty, Is worth any thing but
sacrifice of conscience. Has Grant done this
great pnblio duty by taking Stanton's office?
Hoes chagrin at seeing bis ignorance, does dis
gust at witnessing tbe President's allry trl
upb over blm, teach them the needed lesson T
Every thoughtful man sees that so far as Grant's
influence is concerned, tbe loyal massesjare
weaker to-day than yesterday.
II Grant bad indignantly protested against
Stanton's suspension and refused to accept the
place, that would have roused and taught the)
people and made blm President of tne United
States on a Just platform. Instead of this, the
tieuple see to-day that Grant rushed forward to
ielp out Stanton, supposing himself to possoss
a power of controlling tbe District CommandHrs
wblcb be now confesses be bas no title to. He
stands before tbe publlo convicted at once of
ignorance of his own duties and faithlessness
to bis friend.
As matters stand tbe only advantage the
masses gain from this event is one more hollow
idol broken one more sham exploded. Grant
Joins iicClellau, to stand forever in history
among the "might have been." We by no
means undervalue this gain. But tbe present
business of the nation is neither to break nor
to mend idols. Onr present business is to save
the loyalty of tha South from plunder and
death. In this great emergency it appears that
neither the Thirty-ninth nor the Fortieth Con.
cress had sense enough to draw a statute that
would bold water. If Grant be a blunderer, be
bea scores of comrades in the last and present
Pnn0riil.
If ltMil will stand In our history as the year of
treason, lo7 win sureiv oe uiaraea on the same
page as tbe year of dunces. Treason, no doubt,
flourishes to-day in Washington; but inoompe
tency is the dominant characteristic which dis
gusts tbe nation aud amuses the world. If the
real Government is shown at Washington, then
It is demonstrated that Democracy is a failure.
A bead of tbe State wbo would long ago have
wrecked It. bad not Heaven graciously pro
vided that be should be even weaker than ha
was wicked; a Congress-lit body to fit head
ruled by a conservatism whloh modestly as
sumes to represent tbe ealm wisdom of the
nation and smiles, Malvolio like, on lis critics
as sentimentalists. The result of tbls wisdom,
a oode which, worse than the old sarcasm, not
ouiyieusiuo uig vinaius turougn, out cannot
even catch the small ones.
What can we expect of praotioal oommoa
sense iroua a feonate wblcl folio w JTesseadou
5
as a leadet? a man of whom it may be truly
said that the nation bus taken no one import
ant and eritlOHl step since 1K01 wbioh bis Influ
ence or vote did not resist, until popular good
aenso shamed him out of bis folly or marched
lo its purpose over tils opposition. Ves, Mr.
Fessendeu's Senatorial reoord Is a record
fruitless opposition to every measure on whlott
the nations safety real to-day. He has)
never been right, even by aocidont, at tl
first presentation of any orltioal measure.
He hum either voted nizainst it or been felt
againt-t It, skulking behind bis tools. Kvenia
have alwavs proved blm mistaken. In this)
race he has never "come to tlmo." His wtadoaa
lias always been what tbe Frenoh oaIP"tri
wisdom ot the -tBircase" coming to appreciate
mallei s one moment too late, ills statesman'
ship consists in "proposing nothing and op
posing everytnmg." Yetuau tne 1-tenate anow
him to do their thinking. Edmunds Is his tool
and Oonkllng bis parrot. And this mole had
cower enough, snlte or wanton's anu uraiifa
and Sumner's and Stevens' entreaties, to leave
the President with tbe power of removing
Sheridan, and to tie the bands of Congress till
November.
'iberesnltwesee. Congress tongue-tledEm!
handcuffed till November; obliged to stand
silent by and see Johnson trample on Its laws.
Jxiyally bunted and trembling all over the
South. A law so oiumslly devised that;it oanoat
tie executed without bringing the great powers
of Government into collision. A General se
lected end left in Washington to represent an 1
protect tbe nation, aud round, when the emer
gency occurs, not lo know enough to be fit M
be left alone!
these be our "nraotlcal men." mv masters!
Tbe are the fruits of Fessenden statestnaa
slilp! Ilehold the wisdom of conservatism!
uive us next time a taste of the folly of radi
calism we cannot be worse off, may be betters
at any rate a change would be a relief.

as to insist that those who voir- shall first know
bow to read. Weoommend anolher provisiost
to their notice, namely, that Generals. Sena
tors, and Presidents shall be obliged at least t

lien. II. L. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
on tbe Situation.
Hon. Henry I Dawes delivered the addreaa
at the dtdlcutlon of a soldiers' monument Ik
Deet field, Mass., on tbe 4tb instant. He said:
"That the glorious dawn of a new era so fait
of promise shall liot be followed by tbe black
tempest of contending elements, is the duty of
the bour. Portentous signs are In the heavens.
Dangers are thickening on every hand, and
though flagrant war baa ceased, the oonfllot la
not ended. In the gathering storm the helms
man falters, and the ship labors; but stout
hearts are in tbe crew, and tbe noble bark will
outride the fury of the elements, and enter
upon a broader and smoother sea. If the me
of this generation shall prove faithful to their
trust, and rise to a comprehension of Its mag
nitude, tbe future of greatness and power, bulls
on tbe firm foundation of universal manhood,
snstalned by universal eduoatlon, and proteote
by universal suffrage, opening before the na
tion, will surpass in glory aud grandeur all con
ception. If, on the other band, tbe men of t
day prove unequal to tbe oooasion, or false to
Its high behests, then will the trophies won in
tbls war turn, like tbe apples of Sodom, Into
dry ashes in the grasp."
