j tJDOE KELLEY' 8 RE VIEW OF COM-
- - MISSION Ell WELLS.
Imt zeal displayed by the Spools! Commis
gioner of Reyenne in advocating the interest:
Of British manufacturers, in disparaging the
reoourcea and underestimating the wealth of
the United States, and in antagonizing many
important American industrial interests, has
tvrotod the ire of the Jiepreaentative of the
Fourth Congressional district, Judge Kelley,
who yesterday exposed, in an able speech,
dolirered in the House of Representatives,
the fallacies and follies embraced in the last
report of Mr. Wells.
The first point of attack is the estimate
made by the latter of the wealth of this coun
try. To prove that tho times are out of joint
the Special Commissioner assumes that the
grand total cannot possibly exoeed $23,400
000,000, while other andbetter authorities con
Lend that the census returns will foot up at least
$43,000,000,000.' Mr. "Wells fixes the increase
of the ralue of property during the present
decade at less than 6G per cent., or but little
snore than one-half of the ascertained increase
from 1850 to 1860. So far as this region is
Concerned, the rate of progress during the
present decade far exoeeds that of the pre
ii&a ten years, and the personal and real
property of Philadelphia is at the lowest cal
culation worth two hundred per cent, more
than It was ten years ago. Many other por
tions of the North show a still more rapid
sdranoe, and even in the devastated South
the advance in the value of real estate in some
sections has already exceeded all the losses of
permanent wealth incurred by the War.
The next subject of discussion is the rate
of duties on several American products, and
more especially steel rails, other manufac
ture of steel, and pig iron. A few years ago
(in 1867) even Mr. Wells reoommended high
duties on steel, and the wisdom of this reborn -mendation
has since been abundantly proven.
Before American capital and energy embarked
in, the manufacture of steel rails, the standard
British price was $150 per ton in gold, and
some Importations made at a time when gold
was at a high premium cost American railroad
companies the enormous sum of $390 per
ton, in ourrency. . An immense reduotion on
these prices has been already effected by the
establishment of a few American Bteel-rail
works, and a continuance of the protective
polioy which Mr. Wells is anxious to over
threw Will effect still greater reductions, and
ensure to our railways heap and abundant
supplies. If the duty is materially diminished,
the British manufacturers, whom the Com
missioner of Bevenue is so intensely anxious
to serve, will supply cheap rails long enough
to destroy their American rivals, and then
reap from extortionate charges ample profits
to riohly compensate their official and unoffi
cial champions in this country.
Judge Kelley points out a curious coinoi
denoo between a new sohedule of Amerioan
duties on various manufactures of scrap,
blister, shear, and cast steel which is known
to have been prepared by the manufac
turers of Sheffield, and the rates proposed
by! Mr. Wells. He also quotes from the
statements of the Collector at New York to
the Committee of Ways and Means an asser
tion that "the legal ability of England and
the Continent is constantly retained by for
eign manufacturers to indicate the means by
which oux tariffs may be evaded." And it
' seems that a wonderfully good understanding
has been, established between the open foes
of the struggling industries of our country,
who oonduot their assaults by undervaluations,
smuggling, and new combinations of mate
rials, and the insidious foes resident among
as, who recognize in the Special Commis
sioner of Bevenue their most efficient
champion. . ' '
Against Pennsylvania, especially, Mr. Wells
levels his most desperate blows. He is never
tired of devising plans to cripple the vast
and useful interests in which she has gained
pre-eminence among her sister Common
wealths. Nothing could apparently give him
greater satisfaction than to see our steel fac
lories closed, our furnaces thrown out of
blast, our mines abandoned, and the old de
pendence oh Great Britain fully restored.
Ue .seems ambitious to become . the John
Jones of the War Office to our State, and to
destroy its prosperity by a mass of misrepre
sentations and false calculations. He should
remember, however, that ' sundry perils
always "do environ those who meddle with
cold iron;" that there i a fair prospect that
bis blunders will be exposed as rapidly as he
makes them; and that he already stands con
- rioted of so many that his value as an ally
. of the Britiuh manufacturers has been mate
rially damaged.
Ths story told by Prince Pierre Bonaparte
about the fracas that ooourred in his apart
ment on Monday, ' resulting in the death of
M. Viotor Noir at the hands of the Prince, if
true In every particular, will be apt to secure
from the publio on this Bide of the Atlantic a
verdict of justifiable homicide in favor of
the Prince., According to his statement, M.
Fouville and M. Victor Noir entered his apart
ment and behaved in a very insulting manner,
and the latter slapped him in the f aoe without
any provocation .being , given. The Prince
then drew his revolver and fired, and the two
Journalists also presented their pistols, and
Fouville attempted to fire his but could not
get it off. This is, of course, but one side
V f b Btory, and. the parttnnM of Boohefort
and his friends give a different version
of it. The affair shows that the Bonaparte
family are exceedingly bittor in their feelings
against Boohefort and his aiders andabot
tors, and that they long for an opportunity to
revenge themselves for the abuse that has
beon heaped uponthem. Boohefort, for his
part, has taken advantage of the fracas in the
usual style of a demagogue, by doolaring in
the Corps Legislalif that Noir was one of the
people, and that the people would judge his
murderer, who, though a cousin of the Em
peror, must not be allowed to escape. ' M.
Ollivier promised that impartial justice should
be done, and it seems sot unlikely, from the
present appearances, that the unfortunate
affair will result rather to the advantage of
the Imperialists than of their opponents, espe
cially if it can be shown that Noir was really
the aggressor. "
TEE CASE OF VIRGINIA.,
On one essential point the two-bills presented
in the House of Representatives yesterday ,n
relation to the readmission of Virginia are in
harmony. In the bill reported by Mr. FarnS
worth'from the Reconstruction Committee,
las well as in Mr. Bingham's substitute, it is
declared that the State of Virginia is entitled
to representation in Congress, and in this
declaration the whole country, North as well as
South, agrees. The attempt of the extreme radi
cal faction to overthrow the election held last
summer, on the ground of wholesale fraud
and intimidation of voters, failed most
signally, and even ex-Governor Wells, who
headed the radical ticket, has proelaimed his
earnest desire to see the State restored to all
her rights and privileges in the Union, under
the constitution then ratified and the officers
then elected. There is therefore no reason
able excuse for further delay in admitting to
their seats both the Representatives and Sen
ators whom the people of Virginia have
selected. This action could have been taken
before the Christmas reoess of Congress as
well as after it; ' but, as long as a postpone
ment was indulged in because of the alleged
want of time to give the case the discussion
which its importance demanded, it is to be
hoped that Congress will proceed at once, and
without any further delay, to' this discussion,
and terminate it at the earliest practicable
moment.
; The bill reported by Mr. Farnsworth from
the Reconstruction Committee differs essen
tially, however, from Mr. Bingham's substi
tute, by providing certain fundamental con
ditions, on compliance with which alone is it
proposed to restore the State to her privi
leges in the Union. - To the first of these
conditions the Democratic party as a mass,
and many adherents of the Republican party,
are disposed to take exceptions. It provides
that no person shall hold any civil or military
office under the . State Government without
first subscribing to an oath that, having pre
viously taken an oath to support the Consti
tution of the United States, he has not par
ticipated in the Rebellion, or, in lieu of this
oath, that he has been relieved from his disa
bilities by aot of Congress. Under the present
circumstances, it would seam the part of wis
dom and statesmanship to amend the bill by
striking out this condition. A clause in the
State Constitution submitted to the people at
the recent election, essentially the same as
this, was defeated by a large majority, and the
requirement of the oath - by act of
Congress would appear to be practi
cally an attempt to engraft it
upon the Constitution of the State, in defiance
of the expressed wishes of the people. If it
would answer any good purpose, or was neces
sary as a matter of precaution, the case would
be vastly different. But as long as Congress
sees fit to grant relief from political disabili
ties in wholesale fashion, it would operate
only to the disadvantage of that portion of
the population which s too proud or too
lukewarm to petition the national legislature
for such relief. At present, this relief is
granted almost invariably to every' one who
demands it, and the persons who demand it
are generally of the class of professional
politicians whose sole ambition is to live at
the expense of the people, whether it be
tinder a loyal or a disloyal regime. The
days of political proscription are practically
at an end, and the attempt to continue the
system is . at best a mere farce, the sooner
ended the better. Entire equality before the
law is demanded for the oolored population,
and as long as invidious distinctions are made
against any portion of the white population,
an attempt will be made by those who are thus
proscribed to counteract all the legislation of
Congress ' and all the amendments to the
Federal Constitution . which can be passed,
even if the country gives itself up entirely to
the business of constitutional tinkering. " En
tire harmony and good feeling between whites
and blacks can, be restored only by the abso
lute and unqualified abandonment of the
system of . proscription, and the experiment
may as well be made with Virginia now as at
a later period. '
1 But, independently of this, the bill reported
from the Reconstruction Committee contains
ample provisions securing to all the people of
Virginia a guarantee that their rights under the
new Constitution as it now stands will be for
ever respected and enforced. ; Mr. Cox, of
New York, yesterday gave notiee that he
would move to strike out of the bill every
thing which made the, action of the State in
these matters irrevocable.- This is the true
Democratic doctrine, and on the issue thus
raised every Republican member of Congress
can take a decided and unoompromising posi
tion. Virginia snouia not be left free to re
scind such portions of her "Constitution as
secure to any class of her population the sim
pie rights of manhood. That she would ever
attempt such a retrograde step is extremely
doubtful, in the now prevailing sentiment of
the country and the probability that it will
not be materially modiied for years to oome
Bat the peace for which the future demands
security at the hands of the present requires
an absolute guarantee that the rights now
Scoured to all classes of the people shall be
maintained for all time to come, and in no
better or more practicable way can this guar
antee be given than by its incorporation in
the bill which restores Virginia to her normal
portion in the Union.
Anotbtji Btti has recently been introduced
in Congress to facilitate direot importations
from Europe to the various ports of the United
States, and to avoid the delays at New York
which are unnecessarily and unwisely fostered
by the present system. This movement is
now Btrongly supported by the Western cities,
as well as by Boston and Philadelphia, and
the principal opposition it encounters springs
from a desire of the Representatives and
Senators of the Empire State to maintain for
the little island of Manhattan an unnatural
commercial advantage at the expense of the
national treasury and the prosperity of all other
Amerioan oities. An earnest and determined
effort, however, should secure the passage of
the proposed new law at the present session,
and if Pennsylvania Senators and Representa
tives exert themselves properly they will be
able, in conjunction with the champions of
Western - interests, -who now seem to be
thoroughly aroused,- to render inestimable
service to the commercial interests of this
city. The aggregation of business at the New
York Custom House is such a fruitful souroe
of fraud and corruption, and it entails such
enormous losses of revenue upon the nation,
that the new reform can be advooated on the
strongest publio grounds, as well as on ac
count of its bearing upon the prosperity of
Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Boston, and
Philadelphia. The investigations of Hon.
Henry D. Moore, the Collector of the Port
of Philadelphia, have served to demonstrate
the extent of the eormption at the New York
Custom House incident to the present sys
tem, and he has been zealous in urging the
necessity of a change in the interests both of
the Government and the merchants of the
country. . Mr. Moore, since he has been at
the head of the Philadelphia Custom House,
has proved his . efficiency and administrative
abilities in many ways, and Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, and Boston will be fortu
nate if they obtain Collectors who are as
able, honest, and eager to serve the public.
Tele dionitabd-.b of the lower branoh of the
State Legislature yesterday resolved, on the
motion of the distinguished representative of
the Philadelphia Demooraoy, Sam. Josephs,
to be good to themselves, on a small soale,
by declaring' that "Purdon's Digest" and
"Ziegler's Manual" should be supplied to
each member at the expense of the Common
wealth. A proposition to include "Beitler's
Titles pf Corporations," which was embraced
in the original resolution, was defeated by a
small majority, as well as an amendment to
include a family Bible, a gilt-edged Shake
speare, and- a Webster's Dictionary, which
the mover said he offered for the purpose of
ridiculing the whole gift business. If the
people could be satisfied that all the proposed
books would be carefully studied by the
recipients, they would soaroely begrudge the
expense. As primers and spelling-books,
however, are better adapted to the mental
oapacity of some of the eleot, there is great
danger that the donations would soon find
their way back to the book stores, to inorease
the profits of the session, and that they would
contribute nothing to the improvement of
minds too intent on earning divvies to earn
estly seek moral or intellectual instruction.
