PENNSYLVANIA. SUFFERERS.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The State of Pennsylvania certainly cannot
be aocnsed of being too tender a mother.
Borne of her suffering bantlings in the shape
of Dutch farmers in Cumberland and Frank
lin counties have been crying out vehemently
of late for substantial comfort and recom-
Eense for their losses in the war, bnt so far
ave received only hard raps instead of con
solation. We cannot but consider these oom-
Elainants hardly used. They are reported to
ave always been a most inoffensive, respect
able, stationary body a sort of ballast, in
fact, in American politics, voting steadily for
Andrew Jackson up to the time of Lee's inva
sion, when they wakened to the fact that
there was a difficulty in progress in the coun
try, and immediately took part in it by
making out bills of their losses from. Union
and Rebel troops, which bills they now pre
sent. Apart from this action, nothing could
have been more admirably pacific and con
servative than their behavior.
The bills for their losses whioh they are
urging upon the State to pay and afterwards
collect from Congress, enumerate their de
parted household gods with suoa pathetio
fidelity and disclose such a devotion of sorrow
to their memory that the hardest heart must
be touohed unawares.
There are tragical hints of domestio
affections and wounds for the future poet or
novelist. To C. E., sufferer in MoConnells
burg, the flag naturally was but a bit of
bunting; the menaced Capitol he had never
seen; the Government meant the Squire's
office and taxes; but his new suit of clothes
which the buckwheat crop had paid for, and
the cut of which his sweetheart had praised!
for how can you account for that odd five
cents unless by a touoh of sentiment? Why
talk of blood or glory to this sufferer? How
will the blood of a thousand battle-fields
wash out the loss of actual black cloth and
tailor's work ? The nation ruay stand again
erect and free in the eyes of men, but how
does national glory cover C. Seltzer's bare
back?
"We may nave many happy years, and rulers just
and clever;
But those black pantaloons are gone forever and
forever."
Pennsylvania seems inclined to turn a deaf
ear to these Jeremiahs whose cry has come up
from her borders for a year or more. They
encompass Ilarrisbnrg this winter, and go
round about it, like the prophets of old; they
have oast dust upon their heads; their eyes do
fail with tears and their bowels are troubled
while they lift up a lamentation for their soap
and apple-butter. The State, it seems, has
incumbered itself with pensions for their sol
diers' widows, and the education of their
orphans, and feels theBe claims to be para
mount. But there is another way of regarding
tfce subject, it appears to us. The lamenting
Dutch farmer might very justly state that
those young men (and no State offered
more than Pennsylvania), who threw their
lives and fortunes into the deadly breach
for love of country, or hatred of slavery, have
met with their reward. They saved their
country, and their sabred names and record
are in her keeping. They fought for an idea
and gained it, and they receive ideal wages.
G. Seltzer, we are sure, does not want such,
lie and his compatriots had other business to
attend to than the war. It was assuredly
against tbeir will that their hams and new
hats left the peaceful firesides for the tented
field, or that the half-barrels of mackerel have
sought and found the bubble reputation in
the cannon's mouth. These are sufferings
which can be estimated in dollars and cents;
should not the just land of Penn pay the
debts, even though the pensions go unpaid,
and the orphans' schools be closed?
LIBELS BY MARRIED WOMEN.
From the Ar. Y. Sun.
The already famous Torpey diamond rob
bery case in England where a woman, who
took the most active part in the commission
of the crime, was acquitted on the ground
that she acted under constraint on the part
of her husband has provoked much comment
from the British and American press; and
many severe and sarcastic remarks have been
made upon it in connection with the so
called woman's rights movement. It seems,
however, that even in the State of New York,
where the liberal statutory enactments in re
gard to married women have removed the
numerous restrictions, as well as abrogated
most of the few privileges which were pecu
liar to their position under the common law,
the relation of husband and wife still affords
some striking legal peculiarities.
A forcible illustration of this can be found
by turning to the first case in the latest
volume of Barbour's Supreme Court Reports.
The plaintiff brought an action for libel
against a married woman and her husband.
The libel was composed and published by the
wife alone. The only question on the appeal
was whether the action could be maintained
against both. Under the eld common law it
undoubtedly could; but it was argued that
the effect of the New York statutes as to
married women had been to change the rule,
and that the wife alone could judicially be
held responsible for a libel of which she alone
was the author and publisher. A married
woman in this State can take and hold pro
perty separate and apart from the husband,
and make contracts and incur liabilities in
reference to it, and has the right to sell it to
any one except her husband. She can also
maintain an action for damages to her per
son or character against any one but him.
The Judges composing the Onondaga Gen
eral Term, however, after using language
which singularly enough implies that in their
opinion the question is not of much import
ance a view from which we think many
husbands will decidedly dissent come to the
conclusion that the common law rule U still
the law of this State; and that in New York
to-day an aotion lies against a husband and
wife jointly for a libel written and published
by the wife alone.
Now this is no joke. It reveals a souroe
of power hitherto hidden from general ob
servation. The imprudent or hateful wife of
a comparatively well-to-do man may ruin him
at the shortest notice, while she herself, if
without separate property, has nothing t?
lose, and even if she has any, will in all pro
bability be willing to let that go if only she
feels angry enough toward her worser half.
The subjeot is one that commend i itself im
mediately to the attention of our law-maker,
who are still heaven be praised ! only
men; and the statutory limitation of thi-t
rule of law cannot be opposed by any of
the women's rights advocates, for we all of
ns know that what they want is right, not privilege.
MARITIME RECIPROCITY.
From they. Y. World.
There has just been published by order of
the House a report by Mr. Joseph Nimmo,
Jr., on the foreign commerce of the United
States and the practical workings of our rela
tions of maritime reciprocity with other
nations. Beginning with the statement that
at the organization of this Government we
adopted the general principles of the Crom
wellian navigation acts, Mr. Nimmo proceeds
to say that by the act of March 3, 1815, Con
gress repealed all discriminating duties upon
merchandise entered at ports of the United
States in ships of the nation whereof such
merchandise was a product or manufacture,
whenever the President should be satisfied
any nation had established a reciprocal regu
lation for us; and that by act of May 21,
1828, the United States offered to admit the
ships of any nation with the products or
manufactures of any nation or nations at no
greater charges than those imposed upon
American ships and merchandise by such
nations. These terms have been accepted by
treaty or proclamation as follows:

Spain and Portugal yet refuse us maritime
reciprocity, but with these exceptions our
trade may be supposed on a footing of mu
tuality with the mercantile world. The occa
sion of the system thus portrayed Mr. Nimmo
gives as a belief on the part of our legislators
that reciprocity was demanded by a mutuality
of interests, and would result in a mutuality
of benefits; but the reality he does not think
commensurate with the hope. The propriety
of our system of maritime reciprocity, he
thinks, expired w ith the era of wooden ves
sels "to-day we once more behold the Bri
tisn nag as tar in ascendant as it was
a hundred years ago, and we have great
reason to fear the entire supersedure of the
American by the British nag in interna
tional commerce" and the secret of this he
finds in the rise of ocean steam navigation.
wooaen snips we are able to build as
cheaply as they can be built abroad, and
as a consequence our lake and coasting trade
is in unabated health; but coming to iron
ships Great Britain is ten years ahead. "The
question before ns, therefore, in the upbuild
ing 01 our mercnant marine, is not now snail
we protect our snipping interest against
foreign competition ? but, how shall we pro
tect it against British competition ?" The
propriety of this he enforoes by showing that
in round numbers Great Britain has fifty per
cent, of all the shipping on the sea, the
United States twenty per cent., and all other
nations thirty; and then varies his question
to say, "how shall we meet these advan
tages possessed by England, and place
our ships in a position -to compete
upon equal terms witn lintisn ships i
The answer to this Mr. Nimmo sums up in
the word protection; which really seems to
the nnregenerate mind as if the occasion of
the decline was relied on to be the cause of
the reinvigoration. In a covert way it is in
tirxiated that the Government of the United
States should go into the business of estab
lishiDg great iron-shipbuilding establishments
like those on the Clyde and the Tyne, which
we are tola would cost some SI, 500, 000 each;
and then the position is bcldly taken that
there should be "a limitation of the maritime
privileges of Great Britain in our commerce
on this continent." But in plain terms this
means that we should now revive the old
navigation acts of the time of Oliver Crom
well, at least so far as regards England, and
as a supplementary measure establish iron
slip yards at publio cost. The absurdity of
all this is something refreshing. Mr. Nimmo
shows the cause of the decline in our for
eign commerce on page 2" of his report.
where the taxation on an American and a
British line of steamers, estimating capital
stock in either at $3,000,000, is thus given:-
AMERICAN.
State, city, and county taxes f75,ooo
British advantage, per maritime re
ciprocity 25,000
United States tax on gross receipts. 87,501)
United States tax on profits 13,000 $155,600
BRITISH.
Income tax 6,ooo
Rental tax 4,000 $10,000
Thanks to "protection," excessive taxes,
Boutwelllsm, etc $145,690
This amount, or more, Mr. Nimmo pro
poses to saddle on the people of the United
States in order to give them American ocean
steamships, instead of giving then suoh ves
sels by taking that weight off. lie would
"protect" them into an ocean marine at great
coBt, instead of "free-trading" them into one
at no outlay at all.
Further still, Mr. Nimmo dwells on the low
state of our ocean marine, or rather the no
state thereof, saying on page 19: "Of the
133 steamers regularly plying between the
United States and ports in Europe, not one
wears the American flag." The remedy for
this he finds in a system of subsidizing ocean
steamers, instancing divers facts and figures
purporting to show that France and England
keep up their steamer lines by heavy dou
ceurs, and that only by these have those
nations a maiitime supremaoy over our
selves. A letter to the World sufficiently ex
plodes all this, showing that the National
Steamship Company of Liverpool, whioh has
never received a sixpence of subsidy from the
British Government, and never held a mail
contract from either England or the United
States, can yet build new ships, keep up the
old, be their own underwriters, and pay
stockholders 20 per cent, dividend per year,
showing a profit of not leBs than 33 per cent,
per annum, a rate our correspondent claims
us common to all the four New York and
Liverpool companies.
TI1E DANGER BEFORE TIIE COUNTRY,
from the A. Y. Time.
We have called attention at various times
to the unpleasant similarity in the state of
publio feeling, as regards aotive politios, in
tLe communities of two great oities Paris
and New York. In both cities the so-called
"better classes" have pretty much given up
er y bbare in administration; in both, "per
sonal government" is the favorite form suc
cessful adventurers ruling ignorant masses
with little responsibility to either the people
or legislative bodies; in both, "jobs" and
political corruption have reached a height
tad buducity never before witnessed in
modern history. Mr. Sweeny and Mr.
Tweed, in New York, are emulating Baron
Baunsmann in Paris, in supporting the pro-
letairet, and lining the pockets of the ring
by opening streets, laying out boulevards,
and "improving" parks. In each oily the
classes who pay the taxes, and represent the
brains of the community, are practioally
shut out from all control of its affairs. In
each, also, the moral sense of the
young end ignorant is becoming corrupted by
the sight of so much successful villainy.
The vast fortunes and immense power of the
leaders of the ring will aot gradually on the
moral ideas of our community, as did the
gambling successes of Morny, and the other
followers of Louis Napoleon, on the morality
of the present generation of young French
men. Fortunately for the influence of French
corruption and immorality on the world, a
great disaster has shown the hollowness and
wickednessof the entire French system. The
prick of the Prussian bayonet has burst this
bubble of foul gas. But to the Amerioan
world, the gilded structure of New York cor
ruption and rascality is still as splendid and
imposing as ever. No bolt from the judg
ments that threaten it has yet exposed its
thorough rottenness and villainy. Still, for
tunately for America as compared with
France, New York has never assumed any
thing like the position of Paris towards the
rest of the country especially in the politi
cal field. Its jobbery and corruption have
been confined to its own limits, or to the
State of which it is the commercial empo
rium. It is true that, owing to its enormous com
mercial wealth, the city offers to audacious
and unscrupulous gamblers and adventurers
Srizes such as Paris hardly presented to
orny, Haussmann, and Persigny. As our
able Albany correspondent has shown, they
are adding to the I onus which they will con
trol during the coming year some $12,000,
000, and for no dollar of this will they give
an account. Now what we desire our friends
in Connecticut and other States to understand
is, that the grand object of the New York
csnspirators is to extend their influence and
control over other States, and finally to
place their supple tool and instrument
in the Presidential chair at Washington. Let
no easy-going Republican in distant
States Bay that this is a remote and un
likely occurrence. We in New York know
these men. They are no contemptible
adversaries. Though they have worked up
from the dregs of society, their plans are as
wide-reaching as their means are audacious.
They have the trickery of politics by heart;
they know the power of money; they control
an income in this city equal to that of many
a kingdom, and they cany with them an enor
mous crowd of ignorant followers, who obey
utterly their beck and nod. They are strik
ing now for higher game than the Governor
ship of a State, or the commissions of a city.
They have sucoeeded in throwing all the
administration of this city, employing so
many thousands of men, entirely into tbeir
own hands. During the present electoral
contest in neighboring States, and the ap
proaching Presidential struggle, they will
have in tbeir power millions of money, and
will use it without stint. They are employ
ing it to-day liberally in Connecticut.
The aim and hope of the New York Ring
are to transfer tbeir power to Washington
under Governor Hoffman, and to make their
jobs and conspiracies national. Mr. Hoff
man will be their implement there, as he has
been here. The same unscrupulous audacity
and unbounded bribery whioh have given
them power here, they hope will insure them
higher rewards there. In the place of the
petty income of a city, they will have the
revenue of a wealthy nation to job with.
Where they plunder thousand now, they
hope to deal with millions then.
Custom-houses, foreign ministers, and all
the countless places of the Central Govern
ment, they will give out instead of petty
offices in parks, and docks, and court-houses.
We shall then see a "Washington Ring,"
nnder Tweed, Sweeny & Co., to which all
New York or Paris rings have been trifles;
and corruption, bribery, jobbery, the vitia
tion of justice and degradation of law, which
have disgraced New York nnder these men,
will become national and "republican." We
tell our friends in Connecticut that this is
precisely what Democratio success in their
State means. The connection between Gov
ernor English and Tweed shows this. A
Democratio triumph means the triumph of
the New York ring.
