I'pon Current Topic Comiillod Kverv Dnvfor Krenlnc Telcaraph. THE PROBLEM OF UKVIVINO AMKUI- CAN COMMERCE. Front IA If. Y. Herald. Tho national Congress, which oommencos its session in Washington next Monday, will have many and great questions to deliberate on questions of foreign and homo policy, questions of finance, questions of tariff and internal revenue; but we think we aro not ex aggerating when we sny that, so far ns con corns tho grandeur and prosperity of the metropolis, Congress will have before it no question of greater importance than that of restoring American commerce to tho proud position which it occupied fifteen years ago. Do our readers know that whereas in 1851 the tonnage of tho Uuitod States had reached about five and a half millions somewhat in excess of the tonnago of England it has tdnce fallon off to four million three hundrod thousand tons, and that of England has in creased to seven million three hundred thou t,and ? The fact is a Btartling one, and par ticularly when tho statement is added that of the tonnace which we still possess only about one-fourth is occupied in tho foroign trade, and even that chiefly in the scavenger work of supplying Europe with tho guano of Peru. Ve do not to-day possess a single steamer plying between New York and any European port, out have surrendered the wholo foreign c ommerce of our port to the English, the Trench, and tho Germans. Many causes have operated in producing this disheartening state of things. As Mr. liow, ono of our most enterprising ship owners and merchants, stated before the select committee of Cougress, which has boon recently collecting information on tho sub ject, "It is easier to explain the causes of our decline than to suggest a remedy." Tho causes assigned before that committee were v various, the principal ones being the gradual revolution that has been effected in ships, from the wooden sailing vessel and side-wheel steamer to the iron sailing vessel and screw stoaiuor a revolution in which we took no part, preferring to cling to tho sailing vessel and tho wooden side-wheel steamer; the pre ference in freights and insurances given to the iron vessels over tho wooden ones; the difference in the cost to tho Euglish merchant of his vessel and that of his to the American merchant; the high duties paid on materials entering into the construction of American ships, which matorials aro free of duty iu England; the advantage which the English havo over us in getting nil their ships' stores out of bond free of duty; tho difference in the rates of wages; the disadvantage under which our depreciated currency placed us; the failure of our Ooverumont to subsidize stoAmship lines in competition w ith tho Eng lish and French; and, finally, the gonerally prejudicial effect of our high protective tariff. All these, with the exception of the first, are causes which it is in the power of Congress to remove or mitigate: and as to the first, we suppose it may be safely, left to the iutelli gonco and enterprise of our shipbuilders and thinowners. But notwithstanding Mr. Low's '"remark as to the cause being more easily discovered than the romedy, there has been no luck of suggestions as to the remedy. These sugges tions may bo condensed into three principal gToups. They aro first, the removal of all legislative restrictions on the purchase of foreign ships and on their admission to American registry; second, tho granting of liberal subsidies by our Government to steam ship lines; and, thirdly, tho allowance of a drawback of duties on ull materials entering into the construction and outfit and mainte nance of ships. It will bo readily understood that these propositions are not equally favored by the two groat interests that are most closely involved in the question the ship owning and the shipbuilding interests. The shipowners, as a class, may be set down as in favor of all three. The shipbuilders are and will bo opposed, to the bitter end, to what is termed free trado in ships. They say, and with mnch force and reason, that it would be the finishing blow to tho now languid and tottering interests which they represent; and that it would not only be ruinous to that interest, but would be seriously detrimental to the nation at large in closing np all the shipyards, send ing the ship mechanics out of tho country or to other occupations, and thus depriving the Government of its most useful and indis pensable artisans in case of war with a naval power. On the other hand, tho shipowners do not believe that, even with the allowance of a drawback, the shipbuilders of this coun try can compete with those of England. As Mr. "Westervelt, formerly one of our greatest shipbuilders, stated before the com mittee, "The duys of wooden ships are ended; and to build wooden ships would be labor lost." The shipowners say; "Lot us buy our ships whore we can bny them cheap est; and if American ships can be produced as cheap as foreign ones, of course we will give our own the preference" Some of our principal shipbuilders, including Mr. Webb, of New York, nnd Mr. McKay, of Boston, have expressed the fullest confidence that if they are put, in regard to the'eost of mate rial, on an equal footing with the great iron shipbuilders on the Clyde and the Tyue, they can, notwithstanding the disparity of workmen's wages, produco as good and as cheap ships as their English rivals. All that they abk is a fair field and no favor. THE EMPEROR'S CHECKMATE. From the N. T. Timet. While the foes of the Second Empire are trying to persuade the world that they have left the Emperor no place to stand upon, they are suddenly surprised to find that he has cat the ground from under their own feet. This operation has now been repeated so often, that French Liberals might save themselves many disappointments by always going in expecta tion of it. But they are led astray by those fascinating theories about his bodily and mental ruin. They publish articles to prove that the Emperor cannot possibly live six months longer, and that hu is the victim pf innumerable horrible complaints, which keep Lim in constant torment. By way of relief to his sufferings ho every now and then takes a red hot poker and cauterizes his own back. Stories of this kind circulate in every Pari sian cafe, and are, as is well known, even sent abroad for the entertainment of foreigners. The ( pposilion, in fact, picture tho Emperor to themselves as a worn-out, decrepit, broken down old man. When he comes forward and makes a spcoch full of his old fire and vigor, and anticipates all the really popular parts of their owu programme, they are of course im mensely astonishod. Everybody will admit that his address to th Corps Lagislatif on Monday was a remarkable effort for a dying man to make. Two things are clear first, that the Eui poior in no more likely now ihun lu over was to abandon the field to his enemies; and, I Hnmndlv- that revolutionary schemes at pre- I sent stand no chanco of sucooss. The Em peror understands the tcmpor of the times an advantage of which few rulers of Franoo could evor boast. He sees quite plainly that the bnlk of the French people would shrink back in alarm from any thought of a now revolution, while at the same time they earn estly desiro to see liberal principles exercis ing a more decided influence upon the oourse of the Government. They want reforms, buf they do not want another Republic. The Emperor's speech Is n very clever echo of their own opinions. He is quite right, and they know it, in Baying that "it is not easy to establish regular and poaceful liberty in Franco." They are alarmed at the vision of the excesses foreshadowed by tho Red Republican organs. Whon, therefore, he says to the Corps Legislatif, "France wants liborty with order order I nnswer for; holp mo, Messieurs, to socure liberty" when he talks in this Btrain, tho vast majority of the peoplo see their own ideas caught up and forcibly expressed, and they necessarily sympathize with the speaker. The wild projects, tho rough monaoes, tho unbridled violence of the revolutionists can not prevail against a ruler who simply says: "You are enjoying prosperity now; trust in me, and I will socure you in the possession of it." The Emperor understands the peoplo, and how to appeal to their interests, far bet ter than all his adversaries put togothor. The reforms which are now promised aro not so thorough as the "Reds" demanded, but so far as they go, they will be extremely ac ceptable to the peoplo. They aro social rather than political reforms, and because they are of that nature, the poorest in the land will be able to appreciate them. The popular vote is to bo roudered more powerful than ever, and the range of universal suffrage is to be extended. Measures are to bo taken for the development of primary education, for placing justice more at the command of poor men, for extonding the advantages of savings banks to tho humbler classes per haps on the model of tho excellent post office savings banks in England, which enable a man to deposit money in any town or village where there is a pont office, and to withdraw it afterwards in any other town where he hap pens to be, Government standing tho security lor principal and interest. BosidtM theso measures, which are but faintly sketched in tho telegram, thero is to be an increase of xnuiil salaries in public offices: observo that it is always the middle and lower classes which tho Emperor chiefly strives to please. Human! regulations are to be made for controlling the labor of children, agricultural interests aro to receivo attention, and tho customs and oxciso duties will bo revised. This may not bo an ambi tious dish to set before tho people, but unde niably it is a very substantial one. It is bettor than anything yet offered by the revo lutionists. We aro told that tho Emperor was frequently applauded, and that when the name of Limit rue Kochefort was called in the roll of deputies, it was received with hisses. Thero wc may see tho appreciation in which both parlies aro held by the French people at large. Napoleon is preferable to a revolution. The Fronch liko to play with edged tools, and to bo always talking about upsetting the Government just as their coun try-women thought no ploasnvo complete unless it had a spico of wickedness in it. But they know when they are well oil. The Empire is repugnant to abstract con ceptions of liberty, but it keeps the people prosperous, it guarantees order, it renders property secure. Tho people amused them selves with the Ln nhi'iic, but they aro not ready to exchange the Emperor for Rochcfort and his friends. THE PETRIFIED GIANT. from the N. Y. Tribune. The great stone fellow found at Cardiff con tinues to stimulate tho minds of tho savants. Some will have it that he once walked and breathed in all his huge proportions; and if we do not keep too strict a rein upon the imagination, we may conjecture anything that he was the identical Goliath; that he was one of the large and cruel villains destroyed by nimble little Jack; that he figured in the Trojan wars; that he was distinguished in tho old fights with the immortal gods; that if we had but eyes to find it, his whole biography in his pre-pelrificd state is to be found in some nursery volume of fairy talcs his life in his enchanted castle, his keen scent for the blood of Englishmen, his mysterious "fe-fo-ft-fum" diulect, his enormous doings and his colossal darings in general! Unfortunately, the men of science who will allow us a good, comfort able belief in nothing marvelous, and who, for nil their microscopic eyes,see nothing uncom mon in the most uncommon things, have been scrutinizing the giant of Cardiff with remorse less precision, and have come to the conclusion that as a giant ho never roared, fought, stalked, killed, and devoured, being no more than a counterfeit presentment or ninmiiwruiii of a giant, and a confoundedly modern char acter even at that. The petrifaction theory, under this cool manipulation, has pretty com pletely exhaled. Mr. Palmer, the sculptor, has taken a professional view of the monster, and Mr. Palmer docs not think that the stone was ever warm and living flesh. He knows what the tools of his craft will do, and the marks which their une leaves behind them, and these marks ho finds "as plain as can be, and some of them, where tho legs join, ex ceedingly fresh." As for the little pin-holos, out of which the bristles of tho giant have been supposed to have sprouted, Mr. Palmer refers them "to the net ion of some chemical in the earth." In some parts of tho statuo are signs of the employment of tools in com mon use at this time among sculptors. "A veritable stitue," says this eminent statuary, "but clearly no petrified giant." The news of the discovery of this lapide on s enigma, this Columbisn male sphinx, of course reached in time the Smithsonian Insti tute, and occasioned a mild and regulated curiosity in that dignified seat of science. Professor liaivd was moved to write for in formation to Dr. Boyuton, of Syracuse, stat ing that he hud been exceedingly bothered by "conflicting statements." "Of course," Bays the Professor, "tho petrifaction theory is too absurd to talk about." A careless re mark which demolishes all our tine romances, and raises the deuce with our historical reve ries and pre-Adamite sp;c ilutions. Dr. Boyu ton makes hot haste to reply with cruel dis tinctness: "The absurdity of the existenco of petrified human Uosh, or giants of stone that once lived," is such that Dr. Boynton would not speak of it. were not "the commu nity ogituted to the core." But he does speak of it, and he knocks tho Titan into pebbles. The big creature is merely "a reclining stutue, carved from gypsum." Not an ancient statue either. If it had been u petrifaction, a gypsum giant, it would have been washed away long ago. At first, Dr. Boynton was disposed to be rove rent and liberal, and to admit that the image wus at least about 3)0 years old; now he thinks that it may have been buried about ah! what a ' coming down! about throe years! The young humbug, it is true, has an old appearance, but this has been caused "by the dissolving action of water,"- which tho uocior minim iniiiv imve oeon nccouiiuimiuu IU u low ii i v ' ii i. u n , nil nuiuilliuu 'l lity is that the giant has been under the sod about all Uays. n is evidont tnat ur. isoyn- ists into most embarrassing proximity to the year of our Lord lKO'.t. We shall endeavor to await with exemplary patience the full development of this hard, old mystery, or perhaps wo should speak more properly if we called it a Boft and new one. We wish it to bo distinctly understood that we have no ill feeling against the giant him self, whatever may be his ago, and whether he has passed from life to limestone or not. But if the image was buriod but lately, the man who buried it may be living; and we call upon him to come forward and mako a full and circumstantial confession bofore our archaeologists get to fisticuffs unless, in deed, the whole afl'uir is a speculation, for tho success of which a continued silence is necessary. GEARY ' AGAIN'. From the ,V. T. World. From tho letter of "Justitia," in relation to tho caso of Dr. Schoeppo, wo learn that tho Attorney-General of Pennsylvania opposes the rmrdon of the accused firstly, because it is easy "to find one set of chemical expori- mcntalists wlio wul flatly contradict iue um rics of another act;" secondly, because Dr. Schoeppe had "purchased prussic acid at two different places within fiftcon days prior to the doath of Miss Stennocke;" and, thirdly, bocauso a suspicion of forgery attaohos to two pnpers subsequently offered by the al leged culprit. To these propositions wo reply, firstly, that toxicological onalysis is not a matter of "theory," but of positive demonstration. As regards the particular case in question, the merest tyro in physiological chemistry should know that sulphuric acid (the reagent em ployed by Dr. Aiken), acting upon nitro gonized animal matter, would be likely to give tho "test"' of more than tho "trace" of hydrocyanic acid claimed to have been de tected, and that cnoiiuh cvanouen commonly exhts in the saliva alouo to form prussio acid under appropriate chemical conditions, t'ar from two "sets of experimentalists" being opposed to each other in this instance, the testimony at tlie trial suoweti so conclusively tho fallacy of the tests employed that the evidence with regard to prnssio acid was abandoned by the prosecution: and since that time the ease hns been thoroughly reviewed by prominent, bodies of scientific men in New York, Bnltimovo, and other cities, whoso unanimous decision has been in favor of tho accused. That a physician should purchase prussic acid need not seem a very suspicious circum stance, if it bo known that this substance, despite the popular terror attached to its name, is freqiK-u'ly and safely employed in medical practice, and forms an lugiedient in "veiy many "cough mixtures.'' Dr. Schooppo's second purchase of this drug was explained on the, trial by the worthlessness of that which he had previously bought. Furthermore, if the deceased were "in sound health" np to "the day before the prisoner is known to have prescribed for her," to at tribute criminal intent Lo his purchase of medicine would imply Hitporuutur.il pre science on his part. Moreover, we are told by medical men that the symptoms wore in no wise indicative of poisouing by prussic a' id, and that there ver;. on the other hand, appearances of paralysis caused by apoplectic effusion in the bruin. To tho third point adduced against tho con demned man, we would nnswer simply that whether he committed forgery or not has nothing. to ito with the charge of murder, on which alone ho was tried. The former offense is not, we believe, a capital crime under the laws of Pennsylvania, and, even if it were, Dr. Schoeppe has not been indicted for it. We entirely fail to soo the strength of our correspondent's plea, that the condemnation of ono probably innocent man should be al lowed to offset the "unaccountable pardons" of numerous "notorious criminals;' and we find no reason to alter the opinion we have already expressed with regard to Governor Geary's action in this affair. 5PEOIAL NOTICES. jgiy COLD WEATHER DOES NOT CHAP or roughen tbe skin aftar nsinsr WRIGHTS AL OONATr D GLYUF1UNK TABI.KT OF NOLlDIr'IK.D (iLVlSr KINK.

THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH REINVESTMENT is vhile the Trea sury in bvyinu, and Governments are at a premium. THE ROAD DOES NOT RL'N THROUGH A WILDERNESS, where it would have to wait years for population and business, but through the most thickly settled and productive agricultural counties in the State, which gives each section a large traillc as soon as completed. It runs through the great coal nelrfs of Southern Iowa to the North, where coal is Indispensable abd must be xjarriod.
