THE New York Custom House has
for Years been a bone of contention
among the Republicans of that State,
every appointee being unacceptable to
one or other of the factions. The trouble
is that the Collector of Customs in that
city has enormous patronage at his con
trol, and there is a constant struggle be
tween the ins and out; For some time
a fierce war has been waged against
Moses H. Griimell, the present Collector,
and his removal demanded. The Presi
dent, after looking over the ground care
fully, made up his mind to re-cast the
leading. Federal appointments in that
city, but instead of consulting the con
testing factions, used his owndiscretion.
According on Saturday he sent a batch
of nominations to the Senate, arming
. them that of Hon, Thomas Murphy, to
be Collector of Customs at New York,
vice Moses H, Grinnell, who takes the
place of_ Naval Officer, made vacant by
the resignation of Mr, A. B. Cornell.
General Thomati Hillhouse was also
nominated as Assistant Treasurer at
New York; in the place of Judge Folger,
resigned; and Hon.' Noah H. Davis,
member of the present House of Repre
sentatives, succeeds Judge Pierrepoint
as 'United States District Attorney.
.This arrangement of the "slate" was
unexpected to the New York politicians
and its announcement produced no lit
tle surprise, Senator Fenton is under
stood to be hostile to Murphy. and will
try to prevent a confittion„ whileSen
toironkling endorses and will urge ap,
pro Val. We do not s understanithe
merits of this New York fight, but in
none of its aspects is it to creditable to
the party. We are inclined to think thal
some of the leading Republican politi
clang of that City have not been benefit
ed by intimate personal association with
the Tamany Chiefs,
A GOOD deal of interest attaches to
the call for a convention of delegates
from the counties * which the Republi
cair party is in a minority, to devise
some plan by which the party in such
c*ttes may command a proper share
or influence State legislation. The
con Itint is that the Republicans of
such counties are entirely ignored in all
legislation affecting their interests, al
thiiiigh casting full one-third of the Be-
publimn strength of the State, and in
many counties pollinga heavier Repub
lican vote than counties having Repub
-TenzimtOrttins: Under the rule recog
niVill at Harrisburg, by which all local
legislation is turned over to the member
from the county affected by it, the Re
publicans of the minority comities have
nohearing, although generally represent
ing, the wealth; intelligence and business
enterprise of their respective localities , .
We have frequently protested against a
continuance of this - pernicious ribe.
All legislation should stand on its es
sential merits, and this practice of
adopting or rejecting local MRS on the
simple recommendation of local.-repre
sentatives, irrespective of their merit,
has worked not only unjustly, but most
mischletously, Under this rule fre
quently the most flagitious legislation is
enacted into law. We are not surprised
that there should be a growing sensitive
ness rumwe the ReDUtainana of the
ority counties, nor that this call has been
hunted. How the Convention expects to
redress the evils complained of we do not
exactly understand. The Buckalew prin
ciple of cumulative voting, although fair,
is cumbrous and impracticable except in
special cases. At arevents we trust the
Convention will not permit itself to be
betrayed into a factious movement preju
dicial to the Republican party at large,
or calculated to impair the integrity of
its organization.
THE work goes bravely on, Repub
lican economy and integrity find their
best credentials in the constant and
rapid= extinguishment of the national
debt. Secretary Boutwell's state-
ment for July 1 shows a further reduc
tion of over Tw.tarry mita,rorrs •
or nor.-

reduction in any one • month, and is a
gratifying exhibit, And herein-we have
an alleufficient answer to the tirades of
the Copperhead press as fa the • alleged
cdrruption and extravagance of the Ad
ministration. Prom the moment the
reigns of power passed into the hands

will strike is the perplexing queston. He
says that Red Cloud and his band left the
line of the railroad last Monday, and
should be at Fort Laramie to-day, where
some 200 lodges of Red Cloud's people are
waiting to receive him. He has no confi
dence in Red Cloud, and thinks the Indian
chiefs are too shrewd for the rndian
agents.
CUT THIS OUT AND KEEP IT.—Frank
Dyre, a highly respectable and intelligent
fanner of Galena, Kent county, Md., gives
the following as a sure cure for the bite of
a mad dog. As will be seen, he has tested
it with the most gratifying results:—
Elecampane is a plant well known to
most persons, and is to be found in many
of our gardens. Immediately after being
bitten, take one and a half ounces of the
root of the plant—the green root is per
haps preferable; but the dried will answer,
and may be found in our drug stores, and
was used by me—slice or bruise, put it in
to a pint of fresh milk, boil down to a half
pint, strain, and when cold drink it, fast
ing at least six hours afterward. The
next morning, fasiing, repeat the dose pre
pared as the last, and this will he suffici
ent. It is recommended that after each
dose nothing be eaten for at least six
hours.
I have a son who was bitten by a mad
dog eighteen years ago, and four other
children in the neighborhood were also bit
ten. They took the above dose, and are
alive and well to this day. And I have a
number of others who were bitten, and
applied the same remedy.
It is supposed that the root contains a
principle which, being taken up by the
blood in its circulation, counteracts or
neutralizes the deadly effects of the virus
of hydrophobia.
I feel so much confidence in this simple
remedy that I am willing you should give
my name in connection with this state
ment.
PRANCE AND THE POPE.—The Roman
correspondent of the AUgemeine Zeitung
says that the French Government has ad
dressed a second despatch to the Vatican,
as a rejoinder to Cardinal Antonelli's reply
to Count Daru. The correspondent reports
that in his despatch France declares that
she has resolved to abstain from all further
interference in the affairs of Rome, and
will henceforward confine herself to taking
note of the proceedings of the Pope and
Ecumenical Council. The French Gov
ernment, as a friendly Catholic Power, had
done its duty in endeavoring to deter the
Holy See from the fatal course on which
it had entered. This step had proved
I fruitless; and, as the Holy See seems to
have determined to pursue a line of action
which can only end in its ruin, France will
assume the part of a peaceful looker-on.
On the day of the declaration of Papal in
fallibility, concludes the despatch, as des
cribed by the AUgerneine Zeitung, the Con
cordat will cease to be valid, and the
relations hitherto existing between the
Church and the State will be at an end.
"The State will separate itself from the
Chur4h, and the "French troops will with
draw l from the Papal territory."
LABOR AT THE Sourx.—The New York
World states, on authority of the best dia
. cription, that the Southern planters "heart
ily acquiesce in free labor, " while "the ne
groes are reasonably industrious, and are
improving every year, under the wages
system." It,states, further, that the gen-.
eral description of affairs of the South.
"conveys a pleasing and satisfactory con
dition of the mama and the disposition of
their employees." Furthermore, says the
World, "the labor problem is regarded as
solved to the satisliketion of all concerned. , '
Still further, says the World, "the negroes
work with alacrity." And yet further, it
states, "the industrial part of the experi
ment le working to the satisfaction of all
concerned." All this and much more is
set forth in the leading editorial of the
World in its issue of Friday, May 24,Where
all may read it. When we remember that
the World is the Natknial Democratic or
gan, leading the whole newspaper press of
its party, it is gratifying to see such candid
and honest testimony to the character of
the-Southern colored men. They "work
vrlth alaority," now and "are improving
every year." Let the newspapers which
have been making contrarystatements
note these acts thus formally and conspic
uously testified to,

CARNLESB URIC OF KEROSENE.—AImost
every day we hear of deaths restating from
attempts.to kindle fires with kerosene or
coal oil, the victim holding' the vessel con
taining the explosive fluid over or near the
fire, and from the filling of lamps with
this oil while they are burring. After all
the frightful results of these stupid prac
tices, which have been published in the
newspapers of the country, it is wonderful
that persons persist in repeating the crim
inal folly of thus handling coal oil. Com
mon sense ought to teach all the folly of
placing any vessel containing a quantity of
this explosive oil near a flame; and persons
not blessed with common sense ought to
have learned from the hundreds of disas-
trous examples set them by those of their
kind, the peril of the practices to which
we refgr
If there are still persons who will persist
in kindling their kitchen or other fires
with kerosene let them moisten their wood
or coal before they place it in contact with
fire, keeping the vessel that contains 'the
oil at a safe distance, and let no lamp be
fined while burning nor near any flame.
With the greatest possible care and cau-
tion, persons who use kerosene for illumi
nating purposes are in danger; but when
the exploiive stuff sold for a safe article of
coal oil, is handled in the careless manner
mentioned, destruction of property and
death are almost sure to follow. Indeed,
there is great danger in using even the
safest article of kerosene, unless the great
est care is exercised.
Tan Fouracps Gaunt MAnzsm—The
excitement in the grain markets of Great
Britain and this country grows out of the
sudden demand for shipment to France, in
anticipation of serious injury. to the har
vests there by the long drought. France
usually exports wheat to England, but
very irregularly, having sent, for instance,
more than 8,000,000 hundredweiglit
1886 and in 1848, less than 1,600,000,in
1868, and little more than 2,000,000 in 18410..
The Edon Boonotaisi believes thjx
treme irregularity in the French harvests,
which thus causes violent fluctuations in
the prices on both sides of the ocean, to be
a result of the system of small peasant pro
prietorships in France, the bad cultivation
incident to small capital leaving tbe or4Ps
more at the mercy of the weather than
elsewhere. The average yield of wheat
Per acre is twenty-eight bushels in Eng
land and only fifteen in France, and it va
ries much more in the latter country with'
the seasons. But the French Legislative
Assembly refuses to repeal the duty on
wheat and flour.

EMANCIPATION IMPENDING IN BRAZIL.-
Spain and Brazil alone, of all the nations
laying any claim to civilization, now sanc
tion human bondage or serfdom. Before
the struggle is ended Cuban slavery will be
overthrown, and early abolition in Brazil
is now probable. A bill looking to this
end is before the legislative branch of the
Government. The slaves number some
two millions or nearly one-third the entire
population. On originally taking posses
sion of the country the Portuguese enslav
ed the native Indians ; but they proved to
be very unprofitable bondsmen, and ne
groes were accordingly imported direct
from the Portuguese possessions in Africa.
Brazilian slavery is, however of a very mild
form. Though often attended with indi
vidual hardships, it has not produced the
distinction of caste which have attended
human bondage in other countries. By
the laws of manumission is rendered com
paratively easy, and once emancipated the
negro finds every office and calling as fully
open to him as to the white. Color is no
barrier to the attainment of the highest
positions, socially or politically. It pre
sents no check to one's advancement in the
army or navy, or in commerce, agriculture
And manufactures. The humblest slave
can look forward with hope, not only to
future freedom, but to wealth and power.
The bill introduced into the Spanish Cor
tes stipulates that all children of slaves born
after the date of its passage shall be d o .
dared free. This act *ill doubtless soon
be followed by another, manumitting those
now slaves. Progressive movements like
this rarely end in any half-way business.
With Spanish slavery overthrown, the twin
relic of barbarism will then have disap
peared from all civilized nations,
MINORITY REPREPRNTATION,—The Chi
cago Post is strongly advocating minori
ty representation as embodied in the new
Conadtartion. which Mugs has adopted.
It sayer Thejesnareis of pate of the
United Btatea and even those of England,
France and Germany, are discussing the
proposition in the form presented, and
weighing the chances of our citizens being
intelligent enough to comprehend and
adopt it. . Our republican form of govern
ment will be partially a failure and parti
ally a mockery until we see the necessity
of every man being represented. To say
that 100,000 men may vote, but shall
never elect the man they vote for is a
practical sarcasm, while theircomplete
disfranchisement, merely because they
happen to be in the minority, is an aliens.,
tion of their rights and a robbery only

just that 50,000 Republicans shall be utter
ly disfranchised in New York city, and
50,000 Democrats in Massacusetts ?

IJOHN CILINAMAN.—What shall we do
with the Chinaman? is now a question
which seems to equally perplex Congress
men, State Legislators and the press. It
is indeed a difficult problem to solve, and
there seems no likelihood of reaching any
conclusion at present which will he gen
erally satisfactory. In New York and the
New England States the Workingmen's
associations have taken ground in favor of
preventing their immigration by law, if it
can be done in that way, and if not, then
by force. This extreme opposition is, of
course wrong. We have proclaimed our
country to be the asylum of the . oppressed
of all nations; and if Chinainen are op
pressed at home, and come here volunta
rily, we do not see what sensible objection
can be made. But the importation of
cheap Coolie 'laborers by contract is an
other and essentially different matter to
which there may be good grounds for ob
jection. Bnt . there are difficulties in the
way of preventing even this kind of half
forced, half voluntary immigration ; and
the question is one which will demand al
the calm consideration of the people an(
all the wisdom which Congress can corn
maxul.

HAIR VIGOIL —ln common with many others we
have felt a lively interest in the In% estigations
which Dr. Ayer has been making to discover the
causes of failure of the hair, and to provide a re

more thorough and exhaustke than any ever
made before. The result Is now iefore us under
the name of ATER'S HAIR VIGOR.. We Haase given
it a trial, and with full satisfaction. It equalsour
most favorable anticipations. Our Gray hairs
have disappeared, or restuned their original color;
and a visible crop of soft, silken hair has started
on a part of the scalp which was entirely bald.—
