About the most troublesome things the theoretic free-traders have to d-al with are plain, common sense facts. They are meet ing with a very ugly fact just now in their advocacy of their British free-trade ih ■■>- ries. While they are bewailing the imagi nary evils we are suffering bere under a pro tective tariff, and praising the beauties of British free trade (and pauper wages for workingmen) the news comes from England that the artizans and manufacturing opera tives arc coming to the United States by thousands, for the purposa of bettering their condition. Th.se stupid Brit'.-h la -1 orers, much to the di-comfort of our free trade theorists, refuse to see the attractive ness of free-trade and pauper wages and insist upon trying their fortunes :n tins tar iff ridden country, where the free tra hrs tell them everything is going to the dogs just because we have a protective tariff. So much for theories as opposed to practi cal experience. These laborers fiud by ex perience that, whatever the theoretic b au ties of free trade, they can get better wages, better food, and make a Lett i living where the industry of the country is fostered l.y protective duties; they arc therefore anx iously hurrying to the United Stales. A few ol these theorists try to get over the difficulty by asserting that this immigration of British laborer.- is on account of the crowded population of England. But here they find themselves in another dilemma. Canada isfai mere sparsely populated than the I eitedStates, and enjoys all the advanta ges ofaßriti.-h free-trade government,but the Canadians rtfuso to see the blessings thus conferred upon them in the estimation of our theorists, and are pouring into the United States by tens of thousands. Though Cauada has but a small debt, light taxes, free-trade, ami an almost indepen dent government, and according to our the orists ought to enjoy the most abundant prosperity and happiness, her foolish inhab itants persi.-t in fleeing from licr as from a plague-spot, and seeking a refuge in these debt burthened, tax-ridden, tariff cursed I nited Slates. Verily the perversity of human nature is mote astounding. Why do these laboring men persist in helping to pav our debt, in -baring our taxes, and bearing the on rous burden of our protec tive tariff, when they, by staying at home, might enjoy all the unnumbered blessings of free trade and pauper wagt s? Are these people all blind, stupid and perverse? Are our free-traders quit- sure that free-trade is after all such a great hi- --ing? It it is, why dou't these people stay where tiny can enjoy its advantage". Had not our free traders better go to England and Canada and preach tin ir favorite theory to tlmst. Ix imhted peop' and Dilthem of the great privileges they there enjoy? The po >r fel low- don't M.-etn to renin • it. and it were surely a praiseworthy work to open their datkeucd ryes. After all is it not just bare ly possible that free-trade is nor quite so fine a thing in practice as in theory? ll.n. is it, frec-tiade lriend.-? There is a -crow loose somewhere. Can't you enlighten us a little on this very provoking state of af fair.-? i lIX .Pitt-burgh (i'K'lt- has been making a fierce attack upon the l mtun-rcutl because of its exposure and condemnation of various schemes of corrupt Ie inflation at Harr it-burg last winter. We are extremely sorry to find the Gazclte. which we have always do- mod a high-toned, independent, Repub- lican paper, attacking its cotctnporary on grounds so untenable. Whatever may have Len the shortcomings of the C<,rein/ in ether respect-, the people certainly en dorse its course in this matter. That bad, corrupt men will find their way into office in any party cannot be denied. It is im possible to prevent them. But when they arc discovered and their acts have marked them untrustworthy, dishonest men, no honest, independent paper can pursue aDy other course than to expose, condemn and endeavor to eject from office at the earliest possible moment every such unfaithful pubiic servant. The course of the (W --ma ci'il in this matter has been that of every other itidejiendent Republican paper in the stale. The Republican party can derive no harm, but much good instead, from such a course. It professes to aim at strict integrity and a rigid economy in the management of public affairs. And the sincerity of its professions is well attested bv the very general cond 'Dilution bv it. press of every incompetent, extravagant or dishonest official that is found in its ranks. It is true-that our adversaries, the Copper heads, attempt to gain public confidence by ignoring and hidiug ad the ooriupt and dis honest acts of their leaders, and as a conse quence they grow bolder every year in their corrupt and dishonest practicv s. True Republicanism pursues an eutiiely different policy. It endeavors to recommend itself to public confidence by at all times aiming at the highest integrity. It endeavors to drive demagogue-, selfish, dishonest and corrupt men (rout aioong its leaders when ever they arc discovered, hoping thereby to maintain at all times the highest attainable degree of integrity and efficiency in the ad ministration of public affairs. There is no feature ol the Republican party more grati fying to honest men. or that recommends it moro strongly to the public confidence than the general unanimity with which ev ery dishonest, corrupt or extravagant meas ure is cwpdetoned. We are gratified to be able to say that while a few venal newspa per ■ in the bauds of corrupt, weak-kneed lackeys have upheld every act. good and bad alike, the great mass of Republican papers and Republican voters have une quivocally condemned extravagance, cor motion and dishonesty whenever and wher ever (tbNor*ffcafe and economi cal disposition of the public funds. There f.-re we exhort Republicans throughout the State to pledge their candidates to the pas sage of such a law. They will receive the hearty co-operation of Governor Geary and all good citizens in their work, and remove one more of the sources of political corrup tion. Pledge them, every one. SINCE ihc Inauguration of President Grant the receipts in the U. S. Treasury have exceeded those of the corresponding period of last year over five millions, During the Slice period the public debt has been reduced twenty or twenty five millions of dollars. All this has been done without any change in the law. The only change made was that of putting honest and effi cient Republicans in the places of John son's pilfering copperheads. What say the people to this picture. Do they wish a continuance of Republican rule and econo my, retrenchment and riform or a return to Johnson thieving ? The Pennsylvania Central Railroad is the first in the country to make a through con nection from Chicago to Tidewater. On Thursday the 27th nit., the papers were signed granting a perpetual lease of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago road. The central comes off victor in its contest with the New York lines for the tontrol of this road. THE heavy increase in the Internal Reve nue receipts since Grant's accession as ex ecutive is attributable alone to (he increas ed efficiency of the Depnrttncrt officers. Nearly all of Johnson's dishonest collectors have been turned out, and their places filled with honest and efficient men. THE Lancaster Exp rest nominates Ex- Senator Billingfelt as a Candidate for re nomination. Mr. Billingfelt made an en viable reputation as an able, and honest Senator and ccrtaiuly deserves to be return ed to the State Senate. FAKE ON TOE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—' The trip from Philadelphia to San Francisco by rail can now be made for the nice little sum of two hundred and seventy dollars and twenty cents. SPANISH officers have been arrested in Madrid for conspiracy to restore Isabella— a matter which ought rather have been tried out of Spain. It is the woman who needs restoring not less than the queen. MINISTER Motley has arrived at Liverpool, knd has been officially and courteously te- ITEMS. SECRETARY Bout well says that six millions of gold have accumulated on his hands during the past mcnth. THE grasshoppers came, and Kansas is in trib ulation; the blackbirds came and are eating them all up, and Kansas is joyful. MA. Boltwkll is indefatigable. He is nv organizing his forces for a raid upon the smugglers. It is estimated that the decrease in the public debt for May will reach ten or twelve millions of dollars. OMAHA objects to being spoken of as in "the Far West." The Republican of that town says that Omaha is the point at which travellers gather for the purpose of starting West. "NEVER was more promising''—"never looked better''—is the wheat news from all over Missouri, with the addition from some counties of "twice as much as usual on the ground." IHE peach growers of Delaware are ex pecting a larger crop this season than ever was gathered in that State. It is expected that 2,000,000 baskets will go to rnnrket by the Delaware railway against 1,500,000 bask ets two years ago. Mr. Bcruxoamk, a German paper says, is au American only by birth. He speaks French, dresses like a European, and gives dinner parties and balls like tbe most accom plished courtier, while Madame Burlingame receives guests with all the grace of a perfect Parisienne. The new candidate for the Spanish throne who has boen biought forward. Prince An. gustus of Portugal, is a brother of the present | King ot Portugal, and the youngest son of 1 Dou Fernando, who recently declined the throne. Prince Augustus is twenty-two years old. and a marriage between him and a daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, it is thought, may satisfy both the partisans of the latter and those who prefer a Portuguese I prince. THE President has settled the eight hour law question by issuing a proclamation de claratory of the effect ol the law of Congress upon wages of Government employees, which is sinq.ly, that the law makes eight hours a day's work instead of ten, without effecting the rate of wages. This declaration of the effect of the law has been rendered necessary in order to secure a harmonious construction by the different Departments. Some were construing it in one way and some in anoth er, and ever, different Bureaus in the same Department construed it differently. LIVISG OX THE WATER.— It is estimated that in the river opposite Canton not less than two hundred and fifty thousand people live 011 the water. Their inhabitations are a kind of boats or floating houses, which are moored in rows like streets. The advantages of this plan are that there is no expense for ground; and the boats are built cheaper than houses and not so exposed to the depredation of thieves. Each of these boats usually con" tain three rooms. In the northern part of the country, where the boats would be injured by ice, this practice is not very common. HEAVY DEKALCATIOX. — It is stated that the accounts of William C. Kushmore, President of the Atlantic National Bank of Brooklyn, who was killed by the recent Long Island Railroad s'aughter, showed a deficit of nearly $-">0,000. When the rumor became public, a slight run was made on the bank on Tues day, by uneasy depositors, but later in the day, their fears were allayed by the directors, who pledged themselves to carry on the busi ness of the bank. TAKIXG IT COOL. — The Aibany Journal is responsible for the following: An Irishman while engaged in digging a well near Lebanon lac* fcrk. was nearly killed by the caving in of the sides, after the excavation had reached a debtb ol about sixteen feet. The earth and clods formed ati arch over bitn, which fact was discovered by his comrades who bored through with an auger, aud after passing bint a bottle of whisky through the hole the whole party took a snooze until morning, when the prisoner was released. TUB Secretary of the Treasury is engaged in revising the li.-tot national banks designa led as Government depositories in the several States. lie proposes to out them down at least onp half, as there is now no longer any necessity for the number of them at present in existence. He will place one in each Con gressional district, except where the districts happen to be in cities or bordering upon cit ies. Each city is to have two banks designa ted as Government depositories. In the large cities, like Boston, New York and Phil adelphia, this is to be additional to the Sub- Treasury of the United States. PRESIDENT GRANT ASP PROTECTION*. —The statement recently set afloat that the Presi dent is not in favor of a tariff protection to American industry is, without the least foun dation in fact. General Grant is thoroughly an American and there is not a free trader in his Cabinet. Secretary Boutwell was always one of the strongest protectionists in the New England delegation, and Secretary Fish now openly declares that the check to our present extravagant importations by high tariff, is the only means by which the country can be saved from a financial crash that will surely follow, if the balance of trade is kept running against us. A BILL contracted by Secretary Seward io telegraphing over the cable to Iteverdy John son has been presented to Secretary Fish by the agent of the Telegraph Company for pay ment. It consists of a single item and amounts to $40,000. Mr. Se"*ard, it seems, was allowed cheap rates on his messages, and so became rather verbose. When this bill came in he refused to pay it. It therefore fell to the succeeding Administration; Secretary Fish declined to pay it, and when it was pre sented to President Grant he sent it to Attoi ney General Hoar for an opinion, which he is now engaged on. THB BASIS or REIXIOS. —It is understood the Conference Committee of the two Presby terian Assemblies has unanimously agreed to recommend reunion on the basis of the stand ards, pare and simple, the basis to be submit ted immediately to the Presbyteries for ap proval, and that the two Assemblies adjourn to meet in Pittsburgh in November to receive reports of the action of Presbyteries thereon. It is also understood the Committee will sub mit a form of declaration to be made by each Assembly, instead of the articles adopted by the last. Assemblies and rejected by the Old School Presbyteries, the action of the Assem blies on this declaration to be final. The re port will undoubtedly be adopted by both bodies. THE leading Consular Agent of the United States at Cnba arrived at Washington on Sat urday, and alter filing despatches at the State Department, giving accounts of the condition of affairs in Cuba, proceeded to the White House, aud bad an interview with the Presi dent. He gives it as his opinion, after care ful inquiry and observation, that the insur gents cannot be subdued if they pursue their present tactics, which is to avoid regular bat tle, and worry the Spaniards by compelling them to follow thetn from place to place. He sayg the Cubans nre still looking to the United States for aid, though they have been told again aud again that our Government cannot interfere. ritol SPAIN. MADRID, May 28. —The Papal volunteers have sailed from Cadiz for Havana. At the advico ot her frieuds, Isabella declines to abdicate the Spanish throne in favor of her SOD, the Prince of Asturia.-. THE ALABAMA QUESTION. !■'England eannr.t escape the Penalty Mrtxnt. Lain! Attempt to T Indicate Themseleest —Opinions of the Pres.*. LONDON, Mav 27.—The Mem Laird, the builders of the Alabama, have published in the rnorniug papers a curious letter, in which they attempt to vindicate their own character in tho affair. They claim that the construction oft he Alabama at their yards was free from concealment, and that the government authorities, the public, and trie American Minister were acquainted with the fact that site was built as a vessel of war, and it was notorious that sh. was intended for the service of tbo Confederate Govern ment. They further claim that tic re was no baste or secrecy observed in any of their opera tions, and that had there been anything ille gal in the building or fitting out of the ves sel, there, was ample time and opportunity for the government to seize her. When the Customs authorities were notified on the 21.st of July that she was ready for sea, and might leave at any hour she pleased, there was no attempt made to detain her. although Paesmore and others had made affidavits that men had been enlisted to serve on board. The Messrs. Laird take th • ground that tlic contract fur building the Alabama was not at variance either with the laws of England, or with the opinions of Englishmen, or with the practice of foreign uaticn-. The Lairds quote from the written opinions of Mellish, Kent play and Sir lluch Cairns, delivered in February. 1863, in support of their positions, and declare that the Alabama left Birkenhead unarmed, and that she went to the Azores, where site received men and arms, which had been sent to her from other part- of England. The Star (radical organ) says tho Messrs. Laird may be guiltless, but that England cannot escape the penalty is the verdict of th*> heat nuthoritiati, and ira foregone con clusion. The Post (conservative) fays the vindication of the Messrs. laird is complete. The law was inadequate to prevent the transaction. The remedy lav with the Le gislature. and not with the Executive. The Stan-lard (conservative) says that the Messrs. Laird'- vindication condemns the government. The inadequacy of the law is an insufficient excuse for a breach of inter national obligations. England's obligations were broken for the North as well as the South. The Americans were equally guilty of a breach of international obligations in the ease of the Caroline, and in the case of the Fenian drillines and organization. The final reckoning will give a heavy balance to the debt of the United States. THE OPINION OF MR. PUNCH. * "Mr. Goldwin Smith writes from 80-ton to 31 r. Potter, editor of The lie-hive, to say that emigration to the United States had better not be thought of fir the pre-ent, Mr. Sumner having aroused so bad a feeltng against England. He thinks there will be no rupture, but is prepared for a (urn of affairs which will oblige the English to leave the States.' Mr. Punch declines to prepare himself at present for anything of the sort, and unless the two foremost nations of the world are mad. he believes the re publication of the 'Sumner's Tale,' by one G. Chaucer, would be as likely to produce war as the Munchausen manifesto of his friend Charles, with whom, moreover, he means to have a word shortly. However, as it is well to avoid the least ml-under -and ing between friends, Mr. Punch himself has paid Mr. Sumner's bill. The hand-writing of the latter being indistinct. Mr. Punch is not quite sure whether he a-ks for two hun dred and fifty millions, or billion-, and thn " fore ha- sent: overtlm 1 iter sum. If there is a balance, Mr. Sumner can keep it for hiru self, or lay it out in building a lunatic asylum, into which, if the quarrel should really arise, the people of the United States will do well to insert every public man they have, from sober Sumner down to drunken Chandler." THE BV.TFIC RAILROAD.—The London Tim-s of the 11 th has the following com ment : II we inquire into tbc probable results of this achievement we shall be led into many curious speculations. The effects, _ indeed, will be nk throughout tbc whole Union. California, as our readers know, is a State of exceptional character and importance. It is the gold-bearing State —the country which supplies the Americans witli the pre cious metal. General Grant, in his inan (rural speech, referred to it as the national "strong box"—the safe in which those treasures were hoarded which would one day enable the Union to pay off the public debt—and he spoke of the opening of this Pacific railway as an event tending to ac celerate the consummation in \ iew. Then it cannot be doubted that the Pacific States will receive an impulse ftoui the new line and Le rapidly developed in political a.- well as commercial impoitance. All the terri tory, too, now traver. Ed, will he brought more within the reach and under the do minion of man, w settlements will be la.- eilitaP. (1 and new States more quickly form ed. At the same time the Indian- will be more severely pushed, and the Mormons will be brought into a eonlaet with their fellow citizens which may not impossibly end in a collision. Probably nothing but the remoteness and isolation of their settle ments has hitherto preserved them and their institutions from interference, and now that isolation is lost. Iu whatever light, how ever, we choose to regard the work, we must recognize it not only as a monument of national enterprise, but as a proof of public wisdom. All that the Government has spent in subventions was well be stowed. It was worth many a vote of money and many a grant, of land to connect by an easy internal communication the two great sections of the lepublie, an i to bring territories as large as those of all the settled States together within reach of the Govern ment and the people. If the pr. sent year should also witness the completion of the Suez Canal it will indeed be a singular coincidence, but even the cutting of the Isthmus is ale.-- wonderful exploit than this Pacific Railroad. M. de Lesscps will de serve infinite credit for his perseverance aad success, but the American engineers who bridged with ircn rails a desert as broad as the Atlantic at the rate of six miles a day may certainly advance their own claims to the surprise and admiration of mankind. THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME.—AS a stri king specimen's of ' 'lime's revenges" we have lately had presented to us the colored men s appointments to office, at home and abroad. "Think, writes one correspon dent antithetically, "of Tombs, instead of calling hi- slave-roll on Bunker Hill, only calling for his letters from the colored post master at Macon." Think again of the son of ihe black Douglass holding a Government offiee in the same city with the son of the white Douglas, and both supporting the administration. But there is another con trust still more remarkable in Charleston, where, at this moment, the new Mayor is said to be a brother of Parker Pillshury, the anti-slavery agitator cotemporsneous with tiarri.'OD. Were this relationship all, under the changed aspect of affairs, doubt less, this historic comparison would not be more "odorous" than the others. Rut, according to some of the Southern papers, since Pili bury's inauguration the chief municipal ac tivity has been in a scramble for spoils. ()ne of Pillsbury's friends used to talk of "plow ing up Charleston and sowing it with salt" —but isn't this last a worse infliction ? THE REVENUE. —There has been much grumbling over General Grant's appoint ments, and some of them may have pro voked it; but. the fact is not disputed that the current revenue .since they were made shows a large increase over thecorresponding weeks of last year. Now the taxes have not been increased; our political adversaries say that the country is not prosperous; and it will puzzle any one to account for the in creased receipts into the Treasury on any other hypothesis than that of increased efficiency in the collection. We believe the income of the Government since Gen. Grant's inauguration has exceeded that of the corresponding period of last year by fully Five Millions ol Dollars; and that our National Debt has been reduced, over and above any reduction expected in the spring months of 18tS, by fully Ten Millions. We submit these facts as a full justification of the changes made by Gen. Grant.— X. V. Tribune. IT is said that the Kinperor Alexander of Russia, is seriously indisposed, his illness having originated in the shock arising from an accident while he was driving in an open carriage over a bridge across the Neva. His medical attendants are very uneasy at the symptoms, fearing an internal injury. lIEROSUM: ICNPLOSION. Sh(*k**W Accident in New York—An En. ti-f Family the Sufferer*. New YORK, May 28. —A terrible kero sene accident, ruined by the explosion of a lamp, occurred in Hobokcn, N. J., last night, a family of three persons being the ; sufferers, one of whom, a lad, has since died i of bis injuries, while the mother is fatally wounded, the father escaping with a few ! slight burns. ]t seems that the head of the family, Wil'ium Haasc, nGennnn mechanic, shortly after nine o'clock, with the family, con i sting of himself, his wife Emily, and sou O ostare, a lad of eight years, -at down to table. In some way, wbile reaching across the table for a plate, the boy over turned the lamp, which broke, the oil ex ploding instantly, the blazing fluid scatter ing itself over the persons of all three and setting fire to their clothing, burning them terribly. Their screams attracted the at tention of other inmates of the house, who lushed into the room and finally su -ceded in extinguishing the flames, when the par ties were removed to Sr. Mary's Hospital. '['HE TRQUBLKB IN THE Surra.-—The Washington correspondent of the Ledger states that the Prcident has distinctly as serted his determination to out an end to all assassinations and other disturbances in South Carolina and Florida in the future, if possible. With that end in view he has instructed General Terry, who has been as signed to that department, and will take command on June Ist, to reader efficient and cheerful aid in the suppression of all disturbances, and the protection of citizens in their persons and property. General Terry is regarded at the \\ hire House as a ti-ii disciplinarian, a PIC NICK.—The Saturday Renew likes pic-uics. It say-: 'There is more spooning done at pic-nics than any where else; and more offers are uuuje there, under the shadow of the old ruin, or in the quiet leafy nook, by the river side, than at any other gathering time of tit- country. And as we arc all to a certain extent what we are made, the pleasures being the only ones known to them, the doves take to them quite kindly and gratefully, and enjoy themselves in a simplicity of circumstances which would give no pleasure at all to girls accustomed to more highly-spiced entertain ments." MINISTER BIULINQAME rebuked the foreign* rs whit thought they "outranked" him in Paris, in tho following style: "We Americans do not raise the question of rank. We receive ail gentlemen us occupying a common level. But if you raise the ques tion of position, we outrank you. You are nothing but Dukes. Marquises ami Counts. We belong to the royal family. We are the equal of our President. Wo are all heir apparent# to the throne. We stand up for our order, and if need be, we figbt for our order." BONN PIATT, in connection with Mr. L. I). Reynolds, will on tbc Ist of June com mence the publication of a new daily paper in Dayton, Ohio. He promises to support, "with reasonable earnestness," the princi ples of tba llepublican party, and to make a go d paper, which he is abundantly able to do.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cores many of which are truly marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, whore the system seemed saturated with corrup tion, have been purified and cure Iby it. Scrofu lous affections and disorders, which were aggra vated by the scrofulous contamination until they j were painfully 'filicting, have been radically cur ! cd in such great numbers in almost every section I <>f the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. I Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our rare. Often, th : s unseen and un felt tenant of the orgauism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develops into oue or other of its hideous forms, cither on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuborcles may be sud denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors tonne J in the liver, or it shows it* presence by eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some {►art of the body. Hence the occasional use of a | bottle cf this SartaparrilUi is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use f this SAIiSAPAJtTLLA; At. Li thony'* Fir*. Br c or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eye?, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various ITcerons af fections of the mu-cul*r and nervous systems. Those painful diseases, Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat ters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflaination of the Liver, and .laundice, when arising, as tbey often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood. ; This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for the | strength and vigor of the system. Those who :ire Languid and Listless, Despondent, {Sleepless, and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections fvmptouiatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
