G ENEP.AL Grant, who has been
gradually sinking since last Tuesday
evening, died at Mt. McGregor, on the
Hudson river a few miles above Troy,
N. Y., between 7 and 8 o'clock this
(Thursday) morning. "We have no
time before going to press to add any
thing to the mere arnonncement of his
death.

and being interrogated on the subject,
said : "There i a better fpeling now
in business circles. Naturally nothing
can be expected during the summer
months, but I am satisfied that Septem

western pait of the State. This is the
opinion of most business men I meet.
There may not be a headlong rush, such
as we have sometimes had, but business
will likely be steady and on a good ba
sis." The chairman of the Greenback-Labor
Stae Committee has issued a call
for a State Convention to be held at F.rle
on the 11th of August. There will thus
be four candidates in the field for State
Treasurer a Democratic, a Republi
can, n Prohibitionist and a Greenbacker.
It is possible that the long-haired men
and short-haired women may also call
a convention and nominate a fifth can
didate on the woman suffrage rlatform,
untass the small number of lunatics in
the State who sustain that project will
le satisfied with the nominee of the
Prohibition party, which, we believe,
recognizes the right of women to vote
nd therefore to hold office as an article
.of thoir political faith.
"Mn. Catm.it.e, Sneaker of the ITouse
Of representatives, was called upon a
few days ago in Washington by and em

fnrmpil that he was rrointr to be turned
out, and B-ked that the Speaker inter-
o de In his behalf. Mr. Carlisle knew
the man was a Republican, and made
h'm the following nice, little speech
which covers the whole ground. He
said : "I feel sorry for you, my friend,
but I alo feel sorry for thousands of
Democrats as poor as you are. and with
as many, or more children, who are be
seeching me daily to get them a place
to keep starvation from the door. I be
lieve that these Democrats are entitled
to all these offices under the law. They
have worked h-rd for their rrtv for
years and should share in its rewards, j
I never asked a Republican Administra- ,

shall certainly not ask a Democratic ,
Administration to keep a Republican in j
office."
Tiik rew prohibitory law or lowa
which has been in force over a year,
has utterly failed to bring about the re
sults claimed by its advocates. A pa
per in Davenport has taken pains to
collect statistics from twenty-five of the
larger towns of the State to show how
It hns worked. Thesa were collected
from Mayors and Town Clerks, who say
that the entire number of saloons now
openly in operation is 010, against 770
lefore the new law went into effect.
In one place the increase has been from
.V) to 7."., in another OS to 109, and in
still another from 130 to l.V. Under
the old law the councils in these towns
had fixed licenses at fisures ranging
from S-2.7) to fl.OOO. In some places
this produced a revenue of nearly thirty
thousand dollars, which was, of course,
entirely thrown away when the State
took from communities the right to is
Eue licenses at any price or with any re
resrtictions, however severe. The gen
eral opinion favors the repeal of a law
that has thus defeated its own ends,
and which has demonstrated so thor
oughly that prohibition does not prohib
it. ,
Maiionk and Riddlebeker held
their Virginia State Convention at
Richmond, on Wednesday of last week.
The body consisted of over 600 delegates
atout one half of whom were white and
the othfr balf black. A bitter feeling
has existed for some time between the
two leaders, the cause of which we can
not precisely explain, and Riddleberger
having fortified himself with several
large drinks of good, old Virginia ap
plejack before the corvention met,
made its proceedings very lively, espe
cially for Mahone. The convention
nominated John S. Wise for Governor.
He is a son of the once famous and
widely known Henry A. Wise, a fight
ing roembei of Congress when old John
Quincy Adams was founding out the
e-piriiig ye-.us of a long and brilliant
public career as the representative of a
Massachusetts district, and the same
Hvory A. Wise who, in 18.","), m:nte the
msmor.itile and successful fight against
the Know Nothing party as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Vir
ginia. With Wise's election Know
Nothingism practically died, not only in
Virginia, but everywhere else through
out tho country. It is a smguHr coin
cidence that while Ht-nrv A- Wise in
1S.V defeated and utterly crushed the
meanf at party that then existed, his son
in 1S8.1 is running for the same office
his father liHed, as the candidate of the
Repudiation party, the meanest and
most detestable political organization
of the present day. He :s an able stump
speaker, and will make an active and
thorough campaign. The Democrats,
bowever, can defeat hiui with John S.

One of the arguments of the Phila
delphia rress and other leading Repub
lican papers against Quay's nomination
for State Treasure, waa that he had de
feated the Congressional apportionment
bill, or in other words, that he had in
duced enough Republican members in
the House from his section of the State
to vote in favor of sustaining Governor
Tattison's veto of the bill and prevent
its passage over the veto by a two-thirds
vote. It will be remembered that the
vote In the House against the veto fell
short of two-thirds of that branch by
only fve and that the bill naa aireaay
passed the Senate through Democratic
defection, by the necessary two-thirds.
Quay admitted that be had advised the
Republican members from his section,
Beaver, Lawrence and "Washington
counties, to vote in favor of the veto,
for the reason that the bill did t-.prl In
justice. Seven Republicans, embracing
the three from TTashington county, two
from Beaver and two from Lawrence,
voted against the bill on its final passage
and also in favor of the veto, nad their
voles been nrjainstt the veto the bill would
now be a law. By whose action in re
gard to the bill were these seven votes
lost and the bill defeated ? Westmore
land county is represented In the Sen
ate by George F. Huff, a banker, who
managed to defeat ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Latta, the Democratic candidate.
at the last. November election. Mr
Huff resided in this place in 1800, and
wis cashier of Wm. M. Lloyd's bank,
then recently established, is a wry
clever man and popular. His political
ambition is to fill a seat in Congress,
but he knows very well that he cnuld
never get there from a district composed
of Westmoreland, Fayette and Green9
counties. His election to the Senate
gave him a chance to put Westmoreland
into a Republican district, and if he
succeeded in doing so he could then
make a contest for the nomination. He
managed the business so skilfully be
fore the apportionment committee In
the Senate, as to induce it to report a
bill making a district out of Fayette,
Greene and Washington, and putting
Westmoreland into a district with Indi
ana, Armstrong and Jeffer3on. This
took Washington away from Beaver and
Lawrence, a strong Republican district,
and put her in as equally strong a Dem
ocratic district, while it also promoted
Mr. Huff's Congressional chances by
anchoring Westmoreland in a sure Re
publican district. There was, of course,
no good or valid reason for separating
Washington from Beaver and Lawrence,
or
Westmoreland from Fayette and
Greene, but Mr. Huff's Congressional
aspirations could only be gratified by
making the changes as we have indica
ted them. The consequence was, as we
have stated, that the seven members
from Washington, Beaver and Lawrence
opposed the bill 3nd ultimately defeated
it, as well as played havoc with Mr.
Huff's nicely arranged scheme by voting
to sustain the Governor. George F.
Ilnff, therefore, and not M. S. Quay,
defeated the Congressional apportion
ment bill. Other men in times past
who were governed by the same selfish
motives that actuated Mr. Huff, have
defeated an apportionment bill by in
sisting ujon putting a particular county
in a district where it does not naturally
or rightfully belong. Honesty in politics
as in everything else will always win,
but in these degenerate days it seems to
be a mighty hard lesson to learn.
A current paragraph states that
Miss Helen Gardner, a female follower
of Bob Ingeroll, claims to be "the only
woman infidel lecturer in the world."
Very likely her unenviable boast is well
founded. Not only are women who
preach infidelity almost unheard of, but
women who sympathize with it or ad
mire its teachings are very rare. Wo
men are not naturally disposed to unbe
lief. The female mind may adopt every
variety of theological error and fantasy,
but it is always religious. Every sys
tem of faith, no matter how unjust to
woman or stifiiug to her highest hopes
and aspirations, has found iu her its
most steadfast adherents and its most
faithful disciples. Everywhere it is no
ticed that women fill the churchos,
while men stay away, and in many pla
ces women appear to be the only force
saviDg whole communities from lapsing
into utter uubelief. If Miss Helen
Gardner could realize bow heartily glad
the best and most lovely of her sex are
that she stands alone as the noisy enemy
of the religion that ha? done even more
for women than for men, she might be
less disposed to boast of her position.
At least she would feel the loneliness of
her life, and the hopeless nature of her
warfare against the faith ot her sex.

HOW TO RESTORE COMMERCE.
The platform of the Republican State
Convention is manifestly the work of
several bands. The gaps and seams
join so badly in several places as to be
tray the clumsiness of the joinery. It
is related that the plank for restoring
commerce by bounties on exports and
discounts of duties is the handiwork of
the eminent Philadelphia financier and
political ecohomist to whom he country
was Indebted for the scheme of distribu
ting the surplus revenue among the sev
eral States. The main object of that
scheme was to prevent any reduction of
the tariff. If the authorship of this
bounty plan were not revealed, it bears
plainly enough the evidence of a com
mon origin. In order that this scheme
for restoring the country's commerce
mav be contemplated in all its beauty
and completeness it Is presented here
with :
"The revenues ner-gary for a liberal
support of the Government and to the
payment of pensions to our disabled sol
d'C'rs, their widows and orphans, and of
the principal and interest of the public
debt, should be raised by an additional
levy upon imports ; and with a view to
lift business from its present and guard
it against future depression, we insist
not only upon protection to all home in
dustries, but on a prompt revival of our
commercial marine and promotion of
foreign commerce by proper discount of
duties on goods imported In American
bottoms and proper bounties to goods
exported in American bottoms."
Snch a proper discount of duties im
posed on goods imported in American
bottoms as to secure a prompt revival of
our commercial marine would play hav
oc to the "full protection" advocated in
this platform, as well as with the reve
nues of the Treasnrv. While revenues
would be diminished to the amount of
the bounty to ship owners, it wonld af
ford to the iron, woolen, cotton and silk
mannfacf nrers small satisfaction to be
told that the Increased supplies of for
eign goods competing with their pro
ducts had been brought oyer in Ameri
can bottoms.
Whiie the volume of revenue would
be greatly diminished by this discount
of duties on imports unless a great stim
lus to trade should be caused by it, the
bounties upon exports in American
would cause additional expense to the
Treasury. As it would be necessary to
meet this expenditure by increased tax
ation, fresh burdens would be imposed
upon the labor and capital of the pf o
ple. The platform demands that the
revenues shall be raised by an additional
levy upon imports, arter repealing the
internal taxes on tobacco and domestic
wines. But under the existing po!icy
the margin of the highest revenue has
already been passed. If the protective
duties were increased upon textile fab
rics, iron, steel and other articles there
would be less revenue, while this
scheme of discounts on imports and
bounties on exports in American bot
toms, involving a vastly increased ex
penditure, would require more revenue.
Whence, then, is the revenue to come ?
It would be necessary to revive the du
ties on tea end coffee, and to increase
the duties on sugar and on necessaries
of living not within the protective sched
ule. The patient barks of Russian
peasants would not incline to the bur
dens which such a system, establshed
for such purpose, would impose.
Could this policy he adopted, its chief
result would be to provoke a warfare of
commercial reprisals. Other nations
would be compelled to retaliate by mak
ing discriminations against American
imports. By treaties with every com
mercial nation provision has been made
by the Government of the United States
atrainst the very species of discrimina
tion which is proposed in the platform
of the Republican party of Pennsylva
nia. All these treaties would haye to be
ibroga'ed before this policy could be
adopted. The ingenious author of the
American-bottom plank apiers never
to have thought of that. Like a great
many other contrivances the thing is
curious enough, but it will not work.
Its only value is in betraying the fact
that the protectionists of Pennsylvania
are becoming reitivo under their own
system, and are beating about for some
means to modify its severity. Philad'C

New ScnooL Laws. The text of
three new school laws, which will be
found interesting and important, is as
follows :
Skction 1. Be it enacted, (tc.. That
a coupon school month shall hereafter
consist of twenty days' actual teaching,
and no school shall be kept open in any
district for the purpose of oidinary in
struction on any Saturday or any legal
holiday, or in any county during the
time of holding the county institute
therein.
Section 1. Beit enacted, etc, That
school directors and controllers may
purchase text books for use in the public
schools of their respective school dis
tricts out of the school funds of the dis
trict, ard when so procured theneeessa
rv books shall be suppled free of cost to
each pupil for use in the schools of said
district, subject to the orders of the di
rectors thereof, whose duty it shall be
to provide for the safe keeping and care
of the books, which sh-l! be returned it
the close of the annual school term in
each year or as the board may direct.
Sec. 2. That the board shall keep
an acconnt of all moneys expended un
der the above sect ion and report under a

THE NEW SOUTH.
While other sections are still suffering
from the present depression, the reports
of industrial activity which come from
the South are most encouraging. A
semi-annual review just published in a
Baltimore commercial paper on the con
dition of manufacturing enterprises in
the Southern States shows that those
already established are doing well, while
the number of new ones is large enough
to occasion surprise. According to this
authority the amount of capital stock
represented by new enterprises for the
first six months of the current vear
amounts, in round numbers, to $30,
534.000. Or course this does not mean
all paid up or subscribed capital, but at
the same time there are many hundreds
of small industries, representing in the
aggregate a rea amount of moDey,
which &rft uot included in the list. In
e total Kentucky leads, with more
than ten millions, and is followed by
West Virginia, with six and a half mil
lions ; by Maryland with four and half
millions, and by Alabama with three
and a half millions. Virginia, with
two millions, is followed by Tennesee,
Georgia. North Carolina. Louisiana,
Texas, Florida and South Carolina, Ar
kansas bringing op the rear with only
$373,000.
Large as the amount of money inves
ted is, the variety of industries in which
it is placed is just as large. In the list
are found furnace companies to make
pig iron, foundries and machine shops,
steel works, cottonseed oil mills, fruit
canning factories, caniage and wagoa
factories, flour mills, saw mills, planing
mills, sash, door, and blind factories,
shuttle factories, tobacco factories,
brick yards, ice factories, fertilizer fac
tories, furniture factories, stove foun
dries, wire fence factories, lime works,
soap factories, tanneries, glass works,
gas works, whiting factories, distiller
ies, potteries, marble and slate quarry
ing companies, and companies to mine
coal, iron ore, gold, silver, mica, natu
ral gas and oil.
All these facts go to show that the
advance of the South is general and that
one industry Is not stifled for the benefit
of another. As yet the New South is
only in Its infancv. One great bar has
been removed and that is the suspicion
formerly entertained by Northern capi
talists as to the stability of Southern
investments. Now they see that their
fears were fooli3h ones and are willing
to take advantage of the rich fields open
to them. Thousands of busv. pushing
men with millions cf capital are sure to
follow the example set by a few sturdy
pioneers. It is more than probable that
the record of the first six months of
185 will be doubled before the year
ends. Pittsburg Post.
Parnell's Leadership. No fig
ure iu English politics now stands out
more prominently than Charles Stuart
Parnell, and he seems well fitted to beat
the calcium light of scrutiny that has
long been directed upon him. If lead
ership attaches to successful results,
Parnel? is well entitled to hold his place
of dictator in the struggle to rega:.n for
Ireland her lost rights.
Tarnell is totally unlike the men who
have been at the helm in Irish affairs
during the present century. He is not
a great orator 'like Daniel O'Connell,
nor is he possessed of the fervid enthu
siasm that inspired the labors of Em
mett, Tone and G rattan. He 13 keen.
cool and persistent, having the latter
quality in a degree that approaches dog-g'-dness.
He is a firm believer with
Justin McCarthv, that Ireland's rights
can only be secured by parliamentary
agitation.
Thus he is found training with the
Liberals while they su't his purpose,
and throwing them aside when he deems
that the Tory ship is better able to car
ry the precious Irish freight. His pow
er with the new Ministry was stiikingly
shown in his motion for an investigation
in me laamtraf-na murder cases.
Though a formal denial of the request j
was made, it wa3 announced that Earl
Carnarvon, the new Viceroy, would
personally investigate the alleged judi
cial outrages of the Spencer govern
ment. This is a long step toward justice for
Ireland. It has always been Tory poli
cy to claim that Ireland has got" more
than her fair share of c n.I deration.
Now the Torieo are in advance of the
Liberals in their concessions. And the
credit of bringing about this wonderful
change of sentiment belongs to Parnell,
With him in continued leadership,
backed by the united sentiment of his
race, a brighter skv for Ireland cannot
be much longer postponed. Lancaster
