Many Marine disasters and the loss of many lives are reported. Three vessels foundered near together, and their crews perished. DEN. The Republicans, at the Municipal Election, in Altoona, on Friday last, elect ed David Kinch, Mayor, by one hundred majority, and Jacob Snyder, Treasurer, by a still larger vote. The Council stands seven Democrats and five Republicans. le.. Just now the question is warmly agitated by the Methodist ministers, in New York City, whether it is desirable that the rule, of the term of the pastoral relation be so altered that the bishops may return pastors to charges for more than three years. Galusha A. Grow, ex-speaker of the Lower House of Congress, is at the Astor House, New York, but is registered from Texas instead of Pennsylvania as of yore. Mr. Grow is connected with a rail way in Texas, and has taken up his resi dence there. ser Vice President Colfax, in a letter to the editor of the Indianapolis Journal, says : "I have invariably declared myself in favor of President Grant's re-nomina tion." As to himself he says : 'lf the National Convention deemed it wisest to re-nominate me for the office I now hold, I would accept." They will probably both be re-nominated. ze..Dcring the past year the. single county of Marquette, Michigan, produced 813,379 tons of iron ore, and 51,225 tons of charcoal pig iron. The ore was shipped in large quantities to• other manufactur ing points. The propritors of Western mines and manufactoring establishments are begining to realize the importance of a protective tariff. xtel... The report of the proceedings of the late Teachers' Institute, was furnished us by Mr. A. H. Kauffman, one of the Secretaries, and not by Mr. McDivitt, as stated in the School Journal. We make this correction, simply as an act of justice to Mt. Kauffman, and at the instance of Mr. McDivitt himself. Sir lion. Francis Jordon delivered an able address on "Constitutional Reform" before the Social Science Association, of Philadelphia, on the evening of the 15th inst., which it would give us great pleasure to publish had we the space. The people should be well informed on the subject matter which is likely to come before the Convention, and Col. Jordon is doing his part towards giving them timely informa tion. raj' The Coal and Iron Record, a week ly journal devoted to the Coal and Iron Trades, has just been commenced by Messrs. Western & Company, N 0.37, Park Row, New York. Price $3 per volume, edited by B. R. Western, Esq. This firm has had great experience in publishing journals of this type, and consequently they cannot fail to make the Record one of the best of its class. It starts with a capital number. We welcome their pro ject, as we believe it fills a very important niche, and recommend it to all our coal operators. tek„ An agreement has, at last, been reached in regard to the selection of a Committee in the McClure-Gray case. The plan proposed is to place the names of all the Senators in a box and draw from the same thirteen, and then let each of the parties strike six from the number so drawn, and the Senator remaining will con -stitute the seventh member of the commit tee. This is accepted as fair, and at least opens the way to investigation and a con test from which the Republican party never shrinks, and in which it always bears itself honorably and just, AMERICAN v:. EUROPEAN PRO TECTION. There is a system of protection for the manufacturers practiced in European Na tions that is wholly ignored in the United States. It is the protection secured by half-paid labor. In many articles manu factured labor constitutes one-half, and in some cases three-fourths of the entire cost. Take for example the article of pig iron. The ore costs comparatively nothing ; by labor it is drawn from the mine, passed through the furnace, and prepared for the market. The coal and limestone used in its preparation are also the products of labor. So that in making up the cost of a ton of pig or bar iron, labor is found to constitute the principal and by far the largest item. The same is true of many other manufactured articles; but this single illustration is sufficient for our pur pose. Now to find the relative cost of iron in England and in the United States, it is only necessary to ascertain the cost of labor in each country. The prices paid in 1871 were as follows : EDITOR United England States Paddlers, per t 6;, $2 05 S 4 00 Helpers, per ton 7B 2 00 Heaters, per day 1 90 4 37 " Helpers, per day 97 207 Rollers, per day 3 00 5 10 Day Laborers, per day 7R 1 75 Carpenters. Masons These figures give a correct general average of wages in England and in the United States. England then can produce iron at half the expense for wages that it costs to manufacture a similar article in the United States. This is the protection afforded to her manufacturers. But it is a direct robbery of the mechanic and laborer. Free Traders tell the credulous that "American protection makes the rich rich er and the poor poorer." It is not so. The contrary is the fact : Protection is the poor man's wealth. It secures for him it full reward for his labor. On the other hand Free Trade, or EuroFean cheap labor pro tection robs the industrious mechanic and the laborer, for the direct and special pur pose of enriching the manufacturer. In America protection is impartial : It bene fits and blesses all alike. In Europe it is partial, and for the benefit of the manu facturer alone. In the United States the artisan and the workman can generally live well upon one-half or two-thirds of the amount of their earnings. In Europe the weekly receipts are barely sufficient to sus tain life. The London correspondent of the New York Tone.; has given the mode of life among the workmen in England a thorough examination. He gives a most deplorable picture of the poor of the large cities of that country. Millions of people, he says, live almost entirely upon bread. Here, for example, is the way of life of a sober, bard working Englishman, who earns 18 shillings a week, (say $4 50 gold stand ard), and has a wife and six children. He neither drinks nor smokes, and hands over his whole wages to his wife. This is a common practice in well ordered families. She pays 4 shillings a week for rent; 1 shilling for coals ; 9 pence for candles, soap, etc.; a penny a week each fur the six chil dren to a burial club ; 1 shilling on the doctor's bill, due. Here are 7 shillings and 3 pence of the 18 shillings gone, and noth ing to eat. Now the bill of fare for those eight persons : One pound of bread a day for each—the children scarcely taste any thing else—comes to 7 shillings a week ; 20 pounds of potatoes, 8 pence; 1 pound of butcher's meat on Sunday, and 2 pounds of salt pork for week days, 2 shillings; 1 pound of sugar, half pound of butter, one ounce tea, 13 pence, make up the week's account. No no fruit, no clothing. The only way they can have these is for the children to get work—or die; then something comes in from the burial club. Thousands and thousands of men work hard for two-thirds of these wages or less. No church or Sabbath School; and no use for books or newspapers, for they cannot read. Contrastt his deplorable condition of the workman and his family with the condition and prospects of the mechanic in America. Here his table is always abundantly sup plied; his wife instead of being in the coal pit, foundry or factory, is at home presiding over her household affairs. His boys are not forced out to labor, but are at school; they grow up educated men, and become intelligent and thrifty mechanics, engineers, architects, editors and profes sors. His daughters rank with the best educated and most industrious and refined women in the land. The mechanic him self, if industrious, prudent and economical, invariably advances until he becomes the owner or joint owner of the foundry or manufactory, and finally closes a useful life in easy circumstances. Here we have the relative condition of the workmen in England and in the Uni ted States. The contrast is great, and it is the result mainly of the difference in the modes of protection practiced in the two countries. Protection in America is for the people ; in England it is for the man ufacturer, and the rights and interests of the workmen are sacrificed to the interest of their employers. The system practiced in England pre vails all over Europe. It is even more grinding in its effects upon the continent than in Great Britain. France, to under sell England, Belgium, to compete - with France, and Germany to beat them all in the European markets, each resorted to the grinding and degrading system of half paid labor, and the result is that all Europe is to-dayfilled with able bodied paupers, half and quarter paid mechanics,• whose only prospect is to labor on jn beggary while the muscle and sinew hold out, and then go to the poor house to die. This picture is not over drawn. It is a sad study. se- Geo. A. Smith, Esq., of McCon nellsburg, was elected, at the special elec tion held on the 13th inst., in the Bed ford and Fulton district, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of J. W.

The Senate of the United States, a few days ago, passed a resolution asking the President for a copy of the late correspon dence in reference to the "Alabama claims." The President in c'anplying, ordered a copy of the "case" of the United States to be sent to the Senate. It is entitled : "The case of the United States to be laid before the Tribunal of Arbitration to be convened at Ge neva, under the provisions of the Treaty '.etween the United States of America and Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, concluded at Washington, May 8, 1871." The case is divided into six parts, which together form a volume of 501 pages, in bold, clear type, on fine, stout paper. This volume is accompanied by seven large vol umes of correspondence, names of vessels destroyed, bills of values, B:,c. The claims, as presented in the case, are classified as follows : 1. The claims for direct losses, growing out of the destruction of vessels and their cargoes by the insurgent cruisers. 2. The national expenditures in the pursuit of those cruisers. 3. The loss in the transfer of the American com mercial marine to the British ling. 4. The enhanced payments of insurance. _ . 5. The prolongation of the war and the addition of a large sum to the cost of the war and the sup pression of the rebellion. The claims for the direct losses growing out of the destruction of the vessels and their cargoes are further sub-divided into: 1. Claims for destruction of vessels and property of the Government of the United States. 1 40 3 00 200 323 2. Claims for the destruction of vessels nod pro perty under the flag of the United States. 3. Claims for damages or injuries to persons growing out of the destruction of each class of vessels. Under each of these divisions the res pective claims are clearly and forcibly pre sented, and evidence is presented which will enable the Tribunal to ascertain and determine the amount of the losses and injuries sustained through England's neg lect of duty, and anxiety to aid the South and break up the Union. Then there is a claim for interest at '7 per cent., the average rate in New York city. The computation of interest to be made from an average day to be 3ntermin ed, and July 1, 1863, is suggested as a fair average period on which to fix the commencement of interest; the interest to be continued to the day of payment. England continues to be seriously agi tated over an examination of this ugly American case. But she cannot escape. Her own Commissioners in the Joint High Commission provided for the "case" and the mode of settlement. Cobden and Bright and others in Parliament, warned the Gov ernment of the consequences of the policy it was pursuing toward the United States; but they were not heeded. The day of reckoning has come, and the words of those statesmen are now'realized in their full force. The decision of the Arbitra tion may not give the United States a dol lar damages but the facts have been laid before the world, and the verdict of the nations will be against England in her anxiety to break up the American Repub lic. FORCING McCLURE INTO THE SENATE. What does it mean ? Since the moment Hon. A. K. McClure consented to become a Candidate for Senator, in the 4th district, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. George Connell, there has been a boldness and a persistency, on the part of Philadelphians, to force this man into the Senate, unequalled in the politics of Penn sylvania. Why this is so no one presumes to state. Is it simply because the citizens of Philadelphia are so extremely anxious for Re'form ? We do not believe a word of it. If they desired Reform so badly they could have found fifty good men—honest and true—in the fourth district to have represented them without taking up a man whose name has been a by-word and a reproach, for years, at Harrisburg. No, no ! It is not Reform they want. Then what is it ? We were told during the canvass that he was backed by two powerful corpora tions ! 4h, indeed ! Why backed by these corporations ? "That is the question !" Here is the milk in the coconut, we sus pect. But what do the corporations want with McClure in the Senate ? Re form. eh ? Bosh ! Is the Nine Million Bill to be put through? That does not strike us as being of so much consequence to the aforementioned corporations ? What then is it? There is nothing before the Legisla ture of any great consequence save the Bill authorizing the mode of selecting delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Aye ! if we are not mistaken, here is the rub ! McClure is to act up the Constitutional Convention so that it can be controlled by the corporations ! The corporations know full well that the people desire to restrict them after the manner of the Illinois Con stitution, and the pins are to be set so that they will be foiled in their object. We cannot see anything else in this persisten cy. Is there any other way of accounting for the concerted action of the corpora tions ? We caution the people, and espe cially that portion belonging to the Re publican party, to be on their guard against the wiles of the monopolies of the State. If we are not mistaken this is just what the forcing of McClure into the Senate means. Let it then be a contest between the peo ple and the corporations. We are ready for it and we have no doubt of the result. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Congress—The Alabama Claims Arbitra tion—Col. Forney's Resignation—The Tax on Tobacco—The Duty on Tea and Coffee—Socirty in Washington—Free Lumber at Chicago. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 19, 1872. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS A very creditable amount of the ordina ry business of the session has been acted upon during the past week. In the Sen: ate a new amnesty bill has been introduced, and laid upon the table. Charles Sumner has given notice that the Civil Rights bill is "indissolubly associated with it," and the two must go together. He said some Senators were exceedingly anxious to re move the.disabilities of the rebels, but they had not a word to say for the colored race. "It was asked," he continued, "why did he not bring in his civil rights bill as a separate measure ? What guarantee had he, he would answer, that the bill, as a separate measure, would go throu ls h at the Capitol ? Hon did he know but it would be consigned to some tomb from which no undertaker could resuscitate it?" He then read letters from John G. Whittier and , William Lloyd Garrison, setting forth that amnesty and civil rights should go togeth er—and there the matter rests for the presen t. The pa,ssa:;e of the Education 41 by the House, appropriating the proceeds of the sales of Public Lands for educational purposes meets with very general favor, especially among republicans in both branches of Congress. If it becomes a law, and its provisions should be faithfully car ried out, it will be productive of great good in bringing up the standard of popular ed ucation throughout the country, but espe cially in the South. A number of measures are before the House in reference to a revival of Ameri can Commerce. But neither upon this nor upon the tariff question has any definite action been taken. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS ABBITRATION The excitement in England over our "case" has materially subsided. There are no new developments upon the subject. 'Our counsel before the arbitration, Messrs. Caleb Cushing, J. Bancroft Davis, and l Wm. M. Everts, are in consultation, in Paris, upon the question. Our represen tative, Charles Francis Adams, at the Ge neva Court of Arbitration, is about to return to America, for a few weeks, to at tend, it is said, to important private busi ness. The n Et meeting of the Arbitra tion is arranged for the lith of April ; but it is prooable that another adjournment will then take place until June, when work will be commenced looking to a final set tlement of the question. Our "Case" forms a volume of 501 pages, and the ap pendix, now in course of preparation, will be comprised in seven large volumes of correspondence. COL. FORNEY'S RESIGNATION. On the 10th Col. John W. Forney wrote a note to the President, tendering his resig nation as Collector of the Port Philadel phia. He gave as his motive a desire to devote his entire attention to his newspa per business. On the 12th the President, in a friendly note, accepted the resignation,.' with regret, assuring the Colonel that his appointment to the place "gave general, almost universal satisfaction when it was made, and since that time your services have been appreciated and approved quite as generally." There is a very general impression abroad here that the Colonel was prompted to this step fur other reasons, than those given. But what they •are' iw not positively known. Both the , Colonel a . and his friends assert that he is in favor of Grant's renomination, but even on that point strong doubts are expressed. THE TAX ON TOBACCO. The Ways and Means Committee have decided, after considerable discussion, to fix the tax on plug tobacco at 16 cents, and on smoking tobacco at 24 cents. TUE DUTY ON TEA AND COFFEE. The Committee of Ways and Means have asked the House to reconsider the vote by which tea and coffee were placed on the free list. It is understood there will be a fierce contest over the duty on these articles. SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON The return of the season of Lent, has materially reduced the number of recep tions, masquerades and balls now occurring in the city. FREE LUMBER The bill admitting foreign lumber duty free, to Chicago, is unpopular, and will probably be reconsidered in the Senate. N. 11. F. Notes from the State Capital HARRISBURG Feb. 19, 1872 A bill has been introduced in the House making vaccination a pre-requisite to ad mission into common schools.. It is pro posed to extend its provisions to apply also to admission to-the Legislature. Each member or thO'House and Senate has been provided with a copy of Purdon's Digest and Zeigler's Manual. Our first assistant, who has been reading some of the bills introduced by various members, proposes that each member and Senator be furnished with a copy of Brown's Gram mar, Quackenboss' Composition and Web ster's Speller. But our first assistant in clines to be ironical ; and his remarks are not, therefore, worthy of serious consider,x-, tion. At the present time there is, at Harris bum, a larger supply of majors, colonels and generals than we remember to have seen at any one place since the Spanish succession. In fact we only remember to have seen, in this city, two men who did not lay claim to one or all of the ranks mentioned; and these two modest men were—captains. A delegation of teachers and pupils, from the Philadelphia Institution for the Blind, is in town. Tonight they gave a musical entertainment in the Hall of the House of Representatives which was very good. To show their facility in writing they wrote two sentences which showed them to be so far behind the times as al most to destroy the good opinion already formed of their school. The first sentence —"Words are not Deeds"—will be news to the member from Columbia. The second —"We respect the Lawgivers"—might have been a suitable copy-head in the times of Lycurgus or Solon; but as a proverb, it is now classed among ancient popular de-, lusions. However, some excuse is to be made for the pupils of the school in ques- tion, as not having the use of their eyes, they can scarcely be expected to be fully up with the times. The Daily Battle-axe has at last dis covered the cause of the epidemic prevail ing here so extensively. It does not origi nate from impure water. The water is as pure as daylight. The prevalence of the disease is owing entirely to the impurity of the atmosphere; and the atmosphere is rendered thus noxious by the gathering, in Harrisburg, of so many Philadelphia car pet-baggers, who have come to assist Mc- Clure in his contest for Gray's seat in the Senate. The past week has been one of fighting, in the Senate, with regard to the manner of choosing a committee on the McClure- Gray contested seat. The Republicans are, and have been, in favor of permitting Mc- Clure to contest, but they desire to have a committee who will decide justly, and not in a partisan manner, as a committee in which the Democrats are in a majority would doubtless do. As a substitute for the old method of drawing such commit tee, Senator Billingfelt, of Lancaster, of fered a proposition which, for exquisite ridiculousness, would be hard to excel out side of Lancaster county; and the contest for a week back has hinged upon the question whether this proposition should be accepted. On Friday the opposition gave in and Mr. B.'s amendment was car ried in the Senate. What bone of conten tion will next be unearthed, the Senator from - only knows. TELASCO. The Educational Bill The following is a synopsis of the Educa tion bill as it passed the House. Section first provides that the net proceeds of sales of public lands shall be fbrever set apart fur the education of the people, nothing in the act to limit the power of Congressover the public lauds, or interfere with grant ing bounty lands, nor with the homestead act. Section second provides that the Sec retary of the Interior shall certify to the Secretary of the Treasury, each year, the net cash proceeds of sales of public lands. Section third provides the manner in which the funds shall be invested. Section fourth provides for the apportionment of the fund to the various States and Territories for the first ten years, the distribution to be made according to the ratio of illiteracy in the representativepopulatioa. Section fifth provides when and under what circum stances the first distribution shall beinade. Section sixth provides that a certain por tion of the fund received shall be expend ed at the discretion of the Legislature for the instruction of teachers for Common Schools. Section seventh states the con ditions under which each State and Ter ritory shall be entitled to receive its share of every apportionment after the first year. Section eighth provides that the Commis sioners of Education shall decide what States and Territories are entitled to re ceive apportionment, and what amount, but no moneys belonging to any State or Ter ritory under this act shall be withheld for the reason that the laws thereof provide for separate instruction of white and black children, or refuse to organize a system of mixed schools. Section ninth provides for the distribution of the funds by the Su perintendent of public instruction in each State, Territory and District ; the amount to be apportioned shall be applied solely to the payment of teachers' wages. Section tenth provides the manner in which appor tionment shall be drawn from the United States Treasury. Section eleventh pro vides penalties for and misapplication or embezzelment of funds. Section twelve provides that the Circuit Court of the Uni ted States shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all offenses against the provisions of this act. Section thirteen provides that noth ing contained in this act shall be so con strued as to affect in any manner existing laws and regulations in regard to the ad justment an payment to States upon their admission into the Union of five per cent um of the net preceeds of sales of public lands within their respective limits.

WARNING 31A Y CYTIZENS of this county who, had been persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines, which seemed at hirst to work well on a tolerable range of work, have expressed to me their regret. that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma chine—the best in the world—had not been brought to their notice before purchasing. And judging from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the people of this county have lust more than $20,000 by failing to get, at the first, the genuine More I Machine. It is made on sound mechanical prin ciples, avoids rickety cog-wheels ' and is so con structed as to have perfect content by adjustment. and provision made to restore lost motion when it wears, thereby securing extraordinary durability, and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now as my traveling agents may not be able to visit every person in time, and as many inferior ma chines at different kinds are still being urged on the public, I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before you spend your time or money on any other ma chine, the safest plan is, either to write to me di rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Elia. Bowe, machine, fromErown'sCarpet Store, Hun tingdon, Pa.. and take no agents word for it, that the machine is genuine, unless it has the medal lion at the head of this article, imbedded in the bed plate of every machine.
