FRIDAY, AUGUST 13,
AMKIllCAN FORKWN COMMERCE.
Jut attract of the statistics of comruorco
and navigation for the last fiscal year, ending
on tho 30th of Juno, ISM, which has recently
been prepared by tho Treasury Department,
gives an interesting insight into the character
of tho foreign commerce of this country. As
contrasted with the previous year, there is a
largo increase of imports, amounting to
$00,w0.00, and a decrease of exports,
amounting to more than 10,000,000. This
decrease, however, is made up exclusively of
the diminished exportation of gold; tho
amount of merchandise, at specie values, ex
ported in lftW-C.O lcing greater than the
amount of merchandise exported the previous
Tear. The most plausible explanation of the
'decreased export of gold, accompanied by an
excess of imports, is that American bonds
Lave been freely accepted for European
goods, and that an unusually largo addition
to the amount of American indebtedness
held abroad has thus been made.
Cotton has regained its complete ascend
ancy in tho list of American exports. Tho
value of the upland and Sea Island sent
abroad exceeded .li-J, 000,000, and there were
besides exports of manufactures of cotton
valued at nearly six millions. Notwithstand
ing the diminution in the quantity of this
great Southern staple, the revenue it yielded
to the successful planters last year was rarely
exceeded by tho receipts previous to the war,
and the fact that the cotton interest of the na
tion can flourish under a free labor system is
now fully demonstrated.
In tho' list of exports, gold and silver coin
and bullion hold the second rank. Notwith
standing tho large reduction, as compared
with the previous year, the aggregate still
exceeds 4 2,000,000. This is far too largo a
sum for a nation which wishes to resume
specie payments to send abroad, but still it
shows, in connection with the previous sta
tistics, that the tide has turned, and also in
dicates that the exports fell far below the
gold and silver product of the year.
The next export on tho list in value is
petroleum, the crude and refined being worth
more than $:0,000,000. It seems almost in
credible that an article unknown to our com
merce but a few years ago should now fur
nish such an immense basis for foreign and
domestic trade, Mid Pennsylvania has good
cause for congratulating herself upon the
development within her borders of such a
fruitful source of wealth.
The next article in importance was wheat,
valued at $:4,349,ti:S, and if the value of
wheat flour was added (Als,,SJl,4t."), even
petroleum would be thrown in the shade. Tho
exports of wheat and corn, however, were of
considerably less value than those of the pre
vious year, but in 18i!'J-70 the wheat exports
will, from present indications, again reach a
large aggregate.
Tobacco stands fourth on the list of exports,
the value of the leaf and manufactured
amounting to more than ooo,0()0. This
export could be materially increased by an
enlarged product of neglected Southern plan
tations, and it no doubt will be when tho
.Southern industrial system is thoroughly re
organized. The next item of importance is provisions.
If we rank under this general head beef,
cheese, hams and bacon, lard, pork, and tal
low, the aggregate amounts to more than
Sft'JDMlO.OOO. In view of the immense extent
of our agricultural domain, it would seem to
be an easy task to not only make such an in
crease of the products as would greatly
cheapen the prices now paid by American
consumers, but to also supply an immense
foreign demand. As it is, tho value of all
the provisions sent abroad forms but a trifling
aggregate when compared with the sums
which Philadolphians alone annually expond
for food.
A foreign market is found for a few of oik
manufactures, but the whole bulk of exports
of this description is lamentably small, and it
requires a marvellous display of American
ingenuity to manufacture a fabric that can be
sold in the nations that deluge us with their
manufactured goods.
The old. character of our commerce has been
materially modified, but it is not yet thor
oughly reformed. We still send abroad food
or raw materials, and receive in return many
manufactures. A considerable portion of our
imports, however, consists of articles which
we are not at present prepared to produce.
Sugar heads the list, with an aggregate ex
ceeding $60,000,000, and this is exclusive of
molasses valued at nearly 12,000, 000. Suroly
the Southern plantations could be so managed
as to avoid a largo portion of this enormous
drain. If they are not, tho sugar-beet pro
ject should speedily be pushed forward with
unflagging zeal and energy, The imports of
coffee were valued at nearly 2."., 000,000, and
the imports of tea at i:!,t;'.io,;2, so that
more than one-fourth of our imports consisted
of four articles of food sugar, molasses, tea,
and coffee.
Silks also occupy a high rank among our
imports, and though there are still largo
quantities of manufactures of iron and wool
len goods brought into tho country, it is evi
dent that the protective tariff forms an efli
cient breastwork for many of tho American
industries.
Jeff Davis is in Glasgow. If tho people
of that city are pleased by Lis presence in
their midst, it is to be hoped that they will
persuade him to remain there daring tho
r eriod of bi natural life.
THE A TTORNKY. GENERA LS1ITP.
The latest complication of the present cam
paign is Iho disturbance caused by the effort
to oust the Hon. J!onjamin II. Urowster from
tho position of Attorney-General of tho Com
monwealth. The matter as it stnnds is not
creditable to either party. It is firmly
believed by the most thoughtful of tho Repub
lican maunders that Mr. Urowster is a groat,
impediment to success in Octol or, and
that gentleman himself cannot but be aware
that ho is decidedly unpopular in tho party,
and that his continuance in office is but so
much aid to tho enemy. Hon. John Covode,
whoso letter to tho Attorney-General has
already been much commented on by tho
press, is tho Chairman of tho State Cen
tral Committee; ho was chosen to that
position on account of his supposod fitness,
and there is no doubt that his letter expressed
the wishes not only of the Governor but of
tho members of tho committee and all the
prominent Republicans of tho State. Mr.
Hrcwstcr has not published a reply to this
letter, but it is well known that he has writ
ten one in which he explicitly declines to re
sign his office. Of Mr. Brewster's ability
as a lawyer we have nothing to
say, but it is well known that, as a politician,
he is one of tho most unpopular men in the
State; and his present action appears to be
nothing but a selfish determination to main
tain his official position in defiance of tho
w ishes of his party, and at the risk of having
that party defeated.
This difficulty would never have arisen if
Governor Geary had adopted a straightfor
ward and manly course towards the Attorney
General, and a personal request from him
would certainly have produced Mr. Brewster's
resignation, for he could not have retained
his office with any self-respect after such a
request from the Executive. Governor
Geary, however, temporized, and engaged
Mr. Covode to invite the Attorney-General
to walk out. The Attorney-General,
however, declines to acknowledge
Mr. Covode 's authority, and now there is
nothing that the Governor can do but to take
the matter into his own hands, and appoint
some person acceptable to the party to
the Attorney-Generalship over Mr. Brewster's
head.
It is a settled thing that Mr. Brewster must
vacate, and it would be much more credit
able for him to do so without causing further
trouble about it.
FIRE THIE VES.
Advantage was taken of the confusion inci
dent to the burning of Patterson's warehouses
last week for a number of men in firemen's
uniform to enter the houses in the neighbor
hood for the purpose of pillage. One house
was cleared of all the valuables that tho
thieves could carry off, and a number of
others suffered to a considerable extent.
This affair has created much scandal, and has
brought the entire Fire Department into disre
pute. Some of the companies already have a
bad nn.uie for harboring thieves, but it is im
possible for either the sufferers or tho pub
lic generally to discriminate, and all tho decent
men connected with the department suffer
in reputation because of the sins of
certain hangers-on who merely wear firemen's
badges on account of the facilities they afford
for pillage. This is not the first time that
complaint ha.s been made about this matter,
and it is certainly high time that tho respecta
ble firemen should take some decisive mea
sures to purge themselves of their rascally
associates. Tho thieves undoubtedly consti
tute but a small minority of the whole num
ber of firemen, but until they are detected
and punished, and efficient measures are
adopted to prevent such occurrences in the
future, the innocent will suffer with the guilty,
and the brave men who battled all night long
with tho flames will be under suspicion as
well as the scamps who meanly availed them
selves of the opportunity afforded to plunder
unprotected citizens.
The firemen as a body have not yet moved
in this matter with the alacrity that they
should, and, instead of endeavoring to ferret
out the thieves, many of them have contented
themselves with writing letters to tho news
papers complaining of the criticisms to which
they have been subjected. At the same time
it must be admitted that the result of a case
tried yesterday in tho Court of Quarter Ses
sions is not encouraging to tho officers and
men of tho Fire Department who have endea
vored to do their duty in this matter. How
ever tardy others may have been, Chief Engi
neer Downey appears to have exerted him
self to tho best of his ability to
find out tho thieves and have them
punished. A man whom tho Chief arrested
was brought to trial yesterday on tho charge
ot entering a House with intent to steal. He
was found guilty, and it was certainly ex
pected that an example would bo made of
him. lo tho astonishment of every ono,
however, instead of being sontenced to pun
ishment, he was only ordered to give security
in the sum of 1000 to keep tho peace for six
months. The Chief Engineer very naturally
characterized this action of tho court as very
poor encouragement for him to exert himself
in discovering tho offenders at tho late tire.
Such a sentence as tins would seem to be
nothing more than a judicial license to the
thieves, and it will undoubtedly bo so con
sidered.
Notwithstanding the palpable failure of
justice in this case, tho duty of tho firemen is
none tno loss piain. iney aro minor obliga
tions to the public to find out who the thieves
were and expel them from their organization,
even if they cannot execute further justice
upon them; and any company that refuses to
take action in the matter should be denounced
by the entire department. Prompt and deoi
Hive action on the part of the honorable men
who constitute the great majority of the Fire
Department would have the effect of driving
out and exposing the thieves and vagabonds,
even if it did not secure their punishment ut
the hands of tlio law.
ftp aw and ami.
The Spanish revolution and tho Cuban revo
ution drag their slow lengths along, and they
drag along so slowly that they scarcely seem
to move at all. In Spain tho llegent and his
coadjutors have their hands more than full
with the entangled condition of their affairs.
The enemies of the new dispensation are
working with secrecy and energy to obtain
tho power of tho State, and tho whole influ
ence of the clergy is given in favor of tho
most dangerous aspirant to tho vacant throno
that has yet appeared. The regency itself is
considered to bo but a temporary expedient,
and it fails to command the confidence of tho
people as a settled government would, and
each day's delay only serves to excite discon
tent and to increase tho danger of a counter
revolution which will overturn all tho work of
the past year. A cable despatch this morn
ing states that the treasiuy is empty, that it
is impossible to collect the
taxes, and that
popular discontent is universal.
With these difficulties at home, Spain is
plagued by an insurrection abroad which
threatens to cause her the loss of her most
valuable colony, and she can afford neither
tho men nor the money to put it down. In
Cuba the insurrectionists and their opponents
do not appear to make any advance of im
portance either way, although it is obvious
that each day's delay conduces to tho ad
vantage of tho former. Indeed, tho Spaniards
have apparently given up tho island as lost to
them, and although there has been no deci
sive announcement, yet rumors como across
tho Atlantic from time to time which
seem to indicate that tho Gov
ernment is disposed to give up Cuba
and to make the best possible terms for them
selves in so doing. Unless a very great chango
should take place in Spanish homo affairs, it
will bo practically impossible for the home
Government to send any large body of troops
to Cuba; and the various reports about selling
the island to tho United States, giving it
up to tho Cubans themselves for a sum to bo
guaranteed by the United States, and others
of like character, appear to bo intended to
prepare tho public mind for a practical ac
knowledgment that it will bo impossible for
the mother country to hold tho island
longer. At the same time, to give up
Cuba under any circumstances would
bo a dangerous experiment for tho
regency. The national pride is involved in
retaining it, and to a largo number even of
the nkst intelligent people no explanation
would bo satisfactory. It must be acknow
ledged that the situation of the llegent is ono
of great and peculiar difficulty, and he is
entitled to the sympathies and regards of con
siderate men in all quarters of tho world: ho
is apparently exerting himself to the best of
his ability to place the liberties of Spain on a
sure foundation, and his shortcomings are clue
in all probability to the peculiar character of tho
people and to other circumstances wholly
beyond his control, rather than to a want of
energy, ability, and patriotism on his part.
If he were ambitious he might, by a vigorous
policy, reduce order out 01 the present chaos,
and establish himself on the throne; but, thus
far at least, he appears to have been actuated
by none but the purest motives, and his ad
ministration, therefore, lacks something of
tho force which a more unscrupulous man
would infuse into it. So far as Cuba is con
cerned, its loss will be a practical gain to
Spain; and it is probable that it will bo given
up in despite of tho unpopularity which it
will bring upon the Government.
TIIE LIOIIT OF "THE SUN."
The New York Sun is in a very bad way.
Sensationalism has become altogether chronic
with it, and when all its efforts at creating a
hubbub through its news columns are foiled
by the stubborn dullness of these piping times
of peace, it does its level best to make up for
the deficiency by startling editorial propo
sitions. It has just made tho astonishing
discovery that on May 17, 17S',, President
Washington addressed a uoto to Vice-President
Adams, "asking his advice as to tho host
manner of doing the honors of tho White
House" which, by-the-by, was not then in
existence "and in regard to the Presi
dent's social relations with his fellow-citizens
and visitors." From all of which the Sun
deduces the alarming fact that President
Grant is guilty of a very grave offense in de
serting tho capital for a single day, without
taking tho precaution of installing Vice
President Colfax in tho White Houso as a
"responsible substitute."
Such an idea as that of delegating tho Pre
sident's full powers to tho Vice-President
during a temporary absence of a few days'
duration never, of course, entered into the
head of any mortal man save that of the astute
genius who illuminates tho world through
tho columns of tho Stii, and tho same bril
liant genius is entitled to tho solo credit of
devising a scheme for diminishing tho number
of Presidential aspirants by showing how tho
Constitution requires tho President to so do
legato his powers, or else forego tho privilege
of crossing the threshold of the White House
from the beginning to tho end of his four
years' term. It would bo just as logical ami
just as reasonable to insist that the Queen of
England must witness tho coronation of tho
Prince of Wales as King pro tempore when
ever she might choose to take a run down to
Balmoral in summer, or that Louis Napoleon
must set up Eugenie as Begent of Francs
whenever ho might wish to drop down to
"Biarritz during the dog-days. President
Grant has earned a littlo recreation, and just
now his ubsenco from Washington does not
interfere with tho proper administration of
the Government to any groator extent th in
would tho total eclipse of the Sua with tlu
edification of its readers.
A Matteb of Taste. Tho New York Timr
is satisfied with Secretary llobesoii's changes
in the names of tho vessels of war with
which Vice-Admiral Porter took such unpar
donable liberty, although tho worthy Secre
tary has made confusion worse confoundal

Honmni.E ! The Mobile Rrgixter, which
still indulges in an occasional outburst of the
old-fashioned Southern spirit, closes its ac
count of the recent riot at that place with
these words: "Tho negro policemen, several
of whom were wounded, behaved with much
credit, doing their full duty!" We may now
expect to see tho ltcgitcr read out of the De
mocratic party by tho Afe and the World, and
to read a thrilling accoun of tho tearing out
of its office by tho iidignant chivalry of
Mobile. Shades of Taney, Calhoun, and Andy
Johnson! How, in the name of a white
man's government, could a nigger policeman
behave himself with any credit at all, or per
form tho most insignificant part of his duty ?
