MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1370.
Kir The Evening Telegraph, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Tress, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. We have now entered
into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own mem
bers, the North American, Inquirer,
Ledger, Press, and Age of this city, and
the leading journals of the East, North,
West, and South; and hereafter The
Telegraph will be the only evening
papet published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
JUG-HANDLE JliQGLERT.
Ocb Canadian neighbors are Btill violently
exercised upon the Bubject of reciprocity
with the United States. The operations of
the treaty recently in force were so beneficial
to the Dominion that its abrogation has
proved a severe blow to its commercial and
industrial prosperity. Talk about indepen
dence and annexation has followed inevita
bly upon the heels of the unsuccessful at
tempts at persuading the United States to
consent to a renewal of the treaty; and, as a
preliminary movement towards ultimate in
corporation with this country, with the pre
sent special object of preventing the depopu
lation of the Dominion, Mr. Huntington, a
member of the Canadian Parliament, has had
the audacity to suggest a Customs Union
with the United States, similar in its features
to that which binds together certain German
States otherwise independent of each other.
Both Sir Francis Hindis and Sir Alexander T.
Gait, the leading financiers of the Dominion,
have arrayed themselves against this scheme,
the former opposing it because, in his way of
thinking, it would necessitate the extension
to Canada of such a high tariff that "British
manufactures, which are the cheapest in the
world," would be shut out from the Dominion;
while the latter has given notice that ha will
to-day propose an amendment to Mr. Hunt
ington's resolution, having in view the open
ing up to tho products and manufactures of
Canada the markets of the whole world, in
what particular manner, however, does not
yet appear.
Some months ago several leading Canadian
papers were engaged in the discussion of a
Customs Union project on the following basis:
All restrictions upon the trade between the
United States and the Dominion to be abo
lished; the United States to reduce by five
per cent, its tariff on the manufactures of
countries other than the Dominion; the tariff
of the latter to be made conformable to that
of the former as thus modified, and the ex
cise laws of the United States to be adopted,
as well; and, finally, the aggregate of revenue
from customs and excise duties in both coun
tries to be divided annually between the two
governments according to their comparative
populations. By this scheme, which is doubt
less substantially the same as that which Mr.
Huntington cherishes, Canada would secure
absolutely free trade with the United States,
while the latter would gain the right to navi
gate the waters and work the fisheries of the
former without being subjected to any of the
embarrassments which have existed from the
earliest period of our independent history,
If such a Customs Union should be
inaugurated, it is easy to see that the
advantages, at the outset, at least, would be
as much on one side us the handle of a jug.
Canada would loso a share of her trade
with Great Britain, thousands of miles away,
but she would, in return, find a ready market
for all her wares and productions in the
United States, at her very door. On the
other hand, the United States would lose
about one-seventh of her revenue from cm
tonis duties, with the privilege of fishing in
and navigating the waters of the Dominion,
and the chance of making up a portion of her
direct losses from the increase in the customs
revenue of Canada. Reduced to dollars and
cents, tho argument would Btand thus: The
imports of the Dominion amount to about
$80,000,000 per annum, which yield, at the
present tariff of about 15 per cent.,
$12,000,000. The revenue of the United
States from customs duties during the flnoal
vear ending June 30, 180!), was, in round
nnmbers, $180,000,000. If there were
general reduction in tne taritt to an average
of SO per cent,, the revenue would be lowered
to about $154,000,000; while the raising of the
Canadian tariff to 30 per cent, would double
the customs revenue of that country,
making it $24,000,000 per annum. When
the aggregate of $178,000,000 oame to be
divided between the two countries acoording
to population assumiuc that of the United
States to be 40,000,000 and that of the Do
minion to be 4,000,000 to Canada would fall
a snare oi $111,200,000 ana to tne umteu
States 1(55,800,000. This result would take
14,200,000 oat of the Treasury of the United
States, and put $1,200,000 into VvA of the
Dominion, which would be anything bat
satisfactory to the people of this oonntry,
however gratifying it might be to the Cana
dians. But the doubling of her tariff rates by
the Dominion would have a disastrous effect
on Lcr foreign oommerce, and the inequality
of the whole arrangement be made, in con
sequence, still more glaring.
Great Britain would also, it is contended,
be a gainer by such a scheme, a faot mhich
the Montreal Witness goes about establishing
in the following fashion:
"Suppose the average rintron British manufac
tures at prenent to bo 88 per cent. In the United
Slates, then the reduction would bring It down to 80
per cent, over a population of 84,000.000, and the dif
ference multiplied by the population would be 84 by
6-170 In favor of Britain, while the Canadian tariff,
ne'ng Increased IB per cent, to bring its present rate
to 80, would only ail'ect 4,uoo,oo0. or 15 by 4-RO; that
is to pay, Britain would gain in diminution of dutie,
and conxequent freedom of Intercourse with North
America, nearly three times as much as she would
lose."
But, whether a Customs Union with the
Dominion would, in the long run, prove be
neficial to the Unitod States or otherwise, the
mere fact that such a project is receiving the
serious attention of tho Canadian press and
people is significant. The hold which Great
Britain has upon her North American colo
nies is becoming weaker and weaker every
day, and the agitation of the Customs Union
scheme is not calculated to avert either an
nexation or independence.
DRYASDUST PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
A good commentary on the practical work
ings of the franking privilege and tho prevail
ing system of Congressional printing is fur
nished by the faot that we have received
during the last few days from our Congres
sional friends about a dozen copies of a Presi
dential message communicating "information
in regard to the progress of the revolution in
Cuba," which was transmitted to the Senate
on tho 20th of December, 18GS). As news, it
is therefore three months old, dating back to
the time it was received by the Senate, and
some of the documents were originally writ
ten wore than a year ago. Its contents still
possess some historical interest, but they
have lost all value as current information, and
it is a sad waste of publio money to spread
such documents broadcast over the land, under
the delusive idea that they materially assist
newspaper editors or the public in forming a
correct judgment on tho living issues of the
day. In this age stole news is no news at
all, and yet the prevailing official system of
printing rarely furnishes anything but stale
news. The essential points of any matter of
importance can be spread before the whole
reading publio of America at a few hours'
notice, without the expenditure of a single
dollar by the Government, if the proper offi
cials will be simply good enough to
treat the reporters courteously. But
there is a desire in some quarters
to conceal from the agents of the newspapers
all important information up to the latest
possible moment, and then months after it
has ceased to possess any practical value to
publish it ostentatiously at great expense. A
wily old diplomatist declared that the true
use of language was to conceal your thoughts,
and not to disclose them; and the system of
Congressional printing is, to a large extent,
founded on this idea. Even the Globe tells
us not what honorable members actually have
said, but what, on mature reflection, they
ought to have said; and as for the correspon
dence on the Cuban question, or similar
affairs, the people are apprised offi
cially of such past transactions as have
become as dead as the matter of the news
papers issued a year ago. If the franking
privilege were abolished, one-half of the
existing temptation to issue large editions of
these dry-as-dust documents would be de
stroyed; the useless labors of the Government
printing office would be discontinued, to the
relief of taxpayers; and if the facilities for
promptly furnishing all such news as can be
properly published to news reporters were
slightly increased, an expenditure of a few
thousand dollars in this direction would serve
better purpose than millions of dollars
which are
system.
squandered under the presont
The Municipal Row at Richmond, Vir-
ginia, continues with unabated violence.
The rival Mayors and their partisans are each
endeavoring to obtain possession of the power
and the patronage of the city government.
The latest development of the disgraceful
squabble places Ellison with two hundred
and fifty men under his ooinmand in posses
sion of the city, while Cahoon holds one of
station-houses with a force of forty men.
Last night the Ellison police were fired upon
by a mob of colored men while engaged in
clearing the street in front of Cahoon'B strong
hold, and one of them was killed and another
wounded. The police returned the fire, but
with what damage is not known. This affair is
the result of the procrastinating policy that
Congress has adopted of late with regard to
the reconstruction of the late Rebel States,
and it is a demonstration of the absolute ne
cessity for a speedy completion of the great
work. The dolays in reorganization
of the State and municipal governments
of the South have afforded opportunities
for rapacious adventurers to attempt to gdn
positions and power for their own advance
ment without regard to the good of the peo
ple. These men are animated by no patriotic
impulses, and their ruling motive is a greed
of gain and a hope that by means of the dis
organization of affairs they will be able to
fill their own pockets. The disabilities under
which most of the people of the South labor
have thrown the most important offices into
the hands of a class of adventurers who have
no claims whatever on the confidence of the
people and who could never get possession of
offices of trust and honor under ordinary cir
cumstances. The time his certainly arrived
for winding np the wholo business of recon
struction ana granting a general amnesty, bo
that decent men will have an inducement to
participate in the management of affairs and
to aid in bringing the present state of anarchy
to an end.
One of the finest scenes in Ituy Plan is his
discovery and denunciation of the greed of
the corrupt grandees of Spain. "Don
Manuel" (one of these councillors) Bays: ,'
"The publio moneys
Ijy in a few hands; 1 thluk we nil should nlnrn.
ou (tit on) have tobacco; you (to another) imllgj
and monk; . ;
You have the Imports salt and Indian dues ; '
You have the tax on arsenic and Ice."
And thereupon a Bqnabble ensues about the
future disposition of the public plundor,
whioh is a fair counterpart of similar soenes
of modern occurrence among the leaders of
the representative bodies of Amerioa. "We
have got rid of kings, queens, and a grasping
hereditary aristocraoy, but no age or country
was ever cursed with a more insatiable race
of cormorants than that whioh now abides
with us. One of the greatest theoretio ad
vantages of a republic is the probability that
publio trusts will be more pnrely, faithfully,
and efficiently administered under a popular
system than in a monarchy. This expecta
tion was realized in tho earlier periods of
our national history, but since corruption has
been fairly developed it has grown on our
soil with a rapidity unknown in othor lati
tudes, and it threatens now more seriously
than any other evil to blight the whole future
of the nation. All the tainted public ser
vants who thus prostitute their positions
deserve even more sovere denunciations than
those uttered by "Ruy Bias" to his corrupt
associates when he says:
"Oh! virtuous statesmen!
Oh ! faithful senators I who took an oath to serve
Your country! Corrupted servants! Traitors!
Kalso stewards, who rob your master when asleep I
Have you no Interest In your native land,
Except to plllace and to fly from her?
Oh, mldnlRlit plunderers! breaking opo a grave
Your mother's grave to Men her wedding-riug!
Spain totters to destruction, and you seek
The means to make her poorer, to enrich
Yourselves! OU ! ten thousaud shima
Fall upon those great heads that rack their brains
To plot the ruio of their native laud !"
Tn Cask of Gknbbal Amis, who is a claimant
for a seat In the United States Senate from Missis
sippi, will come np for final disposition In that body
to-day. Adalbert Ames Is a native of Maine, from
which State he was admitted to the Military Aca
demy at A est Toint in 1853. Before he had com
pleted his course of study there the Rebellion broke
out, and he was transferred with his class to the
Held In advance of the regular order of graduation,
having been commissioned May 1, 1SG1, second lieu
tenant Company G, 2d United States Artil
lery. On the 14th of the same month he
was promoted to a first lieutenancy in the
fsth United States Artillery, a newly created regi
ment. During the recruitment and organization of
the regiment its place or rendezvous was Harris
burg, in this State. 1-rocoeding to tho lleld finally,
Lteuteunnt Ames participated In McClcllan's penin
sular campaign, taking part In tho siege of York
town, Ya., May, 1SC2; and for distinguished service
on this occasion he was breveted captain, lie also
took part in the battles or Malvern Iljjfaud Garnett's
Farm : and, for meritorious services, was breveted
major July 1. In August Lieutenant Ames was ten
dered the colonelcy or the l'ith Regiment Maine
Volunteers, which he accepted, and was commis
sioned August 8. The regiment was mustered Into
the service nine hundred and seventy-nine strong,
August 29, and at once left for the scat or war.
Colonel Ames subsequently participated in the cam
paigns or the Army or the Potomac, and won a large
reputation for ability and bravery, for which he
was promoted to brigadier-general of volunteers,
commission dated May 20, 13GS, and wa9 subsequently
con Armed in that rank by the Senate, April 1, 1S84.
On June 9 General Ames commanded a portion of
the Infantry column supportingGencral I'leasonton's
cavalry movement south or the Rappahannock, and
took part in the action at Brandy Station, Virginia,
In which the enemy was worsted. During General
Grant's combined movements against Richmond
General Ames commanded the ad Division, 10th
Army Corps, opening on the south side or the James
in the demonstration against Petersburg, In May,
1SG4. He also took part In the battle of Coal Har
bor, June 8. On June T he commanded a division
in the 18th Corps, in place of General
Devcns, who was sick at the time. On
the 10th or June following he was assigned to the
command of the 2d Division or the 10th Army Corps,
and on the 10th of October to the temporary com
mand or the 1st Division, In place or General Terry,
placed temporarily in command or the 10th Corps,
In all the engagements on the north side or the
James General Ames took a prominent part with the
10th Corps, each time adding new glory to his career
as a soldier. Upon the consolidation and reorganl
zatlon of the loth and 18th Corps, General Ames was
assigucd to the command of the 8d Division, 24th
corps. This division was one of those selected to
participate In the abortive expedition, led
by General Butler and Admiral Porter,
against Fort Fisher, In the month of
December, 1SC1, and in the assault mado on Christ'
mas day first effected a lodgment within the
parapet, on the west end of the fort, by 5 o'clock In
the ai ternoon holding half of the land front. Ilia
next prominent appearance before the public was
in connection with reconstruction matters In Mis-
slppl, to the Trovlslonal Governorship of which
State he was appointed by General McDowell, on
the 15th of June, 1863. The order assigning him to
Uils command removed from otllce Benjamin G.
Humphreys, au ex-Rebel brigadier-general, whs
bad been elected Governor under the Johnsonian
reconstruction policy. On the following day General
Ames notiUed Humphreys or his appointment, and
requested the latter to iuform htm when it would be
convenient for them to have an interview, "ror the
purpose of making such arrangements as may be
necessary to carry Into effect the order." Hum
phreys delayed an answer until the 22d, when ho
wrote to General Ames that he regarded the attempt
to remove him from the oillce or Governor as a
"usurpation or the civil government or Missis
sippl, unwarranted by and in violation or
the Constitution or the United States."
He further stated that ho had communi
cated with President Johnson, and was authorized
to say that the latter disapproved or the order. He
therefore refused "to vacate tho office of Governor,
or surrender the archives and publio property of the
State, until a legally qualified, successor under the
Constitution of the State" should bu appointed. On
the 23d General Ames sent a squad of Boldlers, who
took possession of the oillce; but Humphreys fitted
up an office in another part or the executive Man
sion, andTcontlnued to vlulm to act In his guberna
torlal capacity ror some time therearter. Meantime,
the new Constitution, framed by the convention
held under the Reconstruction acts of Congress,
was voted upon, on June 22, by the peoplo, and re
jected by a vote or 63,800 against it to but 50,231 in
fuvor, Humphreys being re-elected Governor by
about the same vote. The ascertainment or this re
suit was followed by a notice on the part of General
Ames that, If Humphreys found It luconvenlent to
remove to another residence, ho and his family
might continue to occupy a portion of the Executive
MausioD. whllo the Provisional Governor aad his
stair would tako np their quarters on tho other side
of the house, a Joint tenancy to which Humphreys
objected, and, in pursuance of ills objections, finally
vacated tho scene of conflict. General Mouoweu
wag succeeded In command or the Fourth Mili
tary district, reduced, in July, 1889, by
the complete reconstruction of Arkansas, to the sin
gle State of Mississippi, by General GUlem, who was
la turn succeeded by General Ames, the latter still
retaining his noaMon as Provisional Governor. An
eitortwas made by tho extreme radicals to secure
tho restoration of the State to representation in con
gross, despite the unfavorable result of the election
of June 2. 1808, but it railed, aud General Amos
remained Provisional Governor until aner tne eiec
tlon held last November, when the expurgated Coa
stltutlon was adopted bv a largo majority, and
Jndge Alcorn, the radical candtdata, elected Gover
nor. Soon arter General Ames requested him to
assume the Proviiional Governorship, pending tho
action or Congress, but Governor Alcorn refused to
do so. To a roll and fair expression of the will or
the people at the late election, the energetic and im
partial action or General Ames contributed largely,
and when the new Legislature assembled In January
last, and he announced himseir a candidate ror the
United States Senate, he enconntcred almost no op
position, and on the 18th of January he was elected
to the seat vacated at the opening or the Rebellion
by Jefferson Davis, for the terra ending March 4,
18TB. On the 2.ld of February, previous to the sign
ing by the President of the bill readmitting Missis
sippi, General Ames, at that time holding the rank
In the regalar army or lieutenant-colonel and bre
vet major-general, presented his resignation, which
was accepted. His credentials were presented to
the Senate on the 25th or February, and referred to
the Judiciary Committee, by whom report was pre
scnted on March 18 to the effect that he was not a
resident of the State, and was, therefore, under the
Constitution, ineligible to a scat. This report will
come up for aotlon to-day, and it is Impossible to
divine the result. The lower house or the Mississippi
Legislature has endorsed its action in electing
General Ames, nut the Senate laid the resolution on
the table. This morning we were Informed that a
caucus or the Republican members of the Legislature
had unanimously recommended his admission to his
seat, and assured hlin or a re-election In case his
present credentials should not prove satisfactory to
the Senate.
