PROTECTION IN THE WEST,
During the last two years Das.-id A.
Wells, as the leader-in the "revenue reform
movement.," and the New York Free Trade
League, have labored hard to create public
sentiment in favor of freb trade. They
made no secret of their purpose, and an
nounced openly in their writings and pub..'
lie lectures that if the protectionists in
Congress failed to read the hand writing
upon the wall, they would soon be com
pelled to vacate their seats to make room
for men who would heed the warning. In.
fact these "revenue reformers" and free
traders really believed, and tried to con
vince the public, that they were going to
carry every thing their own way in 'the.
present session of Congress. During the
early weeks of Congress, the. leading free
traders, including David A. Wells and
Col. Grosvenor, of Missouri, were busy in
Washington, holding private meetings and
interviewing members of Congress. In
fact they spared no efforts to obtain] con
trolling influence in favor of their views,
and secure a recognition of their principles
by a majority of the members' of Congress.
EDITOR
What is the result ? Almost a total
defeat, followed by demoralization and
hopeless despair. They have returned
home, wiser if not better men. The sen
timent in Congress in favor of protection
to our home industries is stronger to-day
than it has been for three years before.—
The Ways and Means Committee and the
Committee of the House on Manufactures
and on Agriculture, with a few individual
exceptions, have fixed an unalterable con
viction, in favor of - protection ; and while
they have listened attentively to the dele
gations in the interest of 'free trade, they
,have not changed their views as to the
paramount importance of protection.
It is well known that the free traders
have always opposed a reduction of the
duties on tea and coffee, while protection
ists have favored a reduction, or even a
transfer of those articles to the free list.—
When it was moved in the House, a few
days ago, to transfer tea and coffee to the
free list, and the motion was carried by a
large majority, the free traders, contrary
to all former action, failed to make any
effort to defeat the measure. They were
confounded, and remained silent. Last
year, when the same question was before
the House, the New York Free Trade
League rushed to Washington with a me
morial against the reduction of the duties
on tea and coffee. This year they have
made no effort, and have failed even to
enter their protest The argument of the
League is that if the duties are taken from
those articles there will be less margin to
diminish the duties on iron, steel, salt and
coal. The real motive lies in the fact that
the League desire to have the duties re
moved from articles produced by England,
for which she desires to secure the mar
kets of the United States. England does
not produce tea and coffee, but she is es•
tensively engaged in the production of
steel, iron, coal and salt. Hence the policy
of the League. On the other hand, the
protectionists favor the reduction or remo
val of duties on tea and coffee, because they
are articles in popular demand by all class
es, and are consumed by the poor as well
as the rich. Another reason in favor of
the removal of the duties from those arti
cles is the fact that they are not produced
in our own country, and therefore protec
tion cannot in any way apply to them,
while it does affect directly the articles of
iron, steel, salt and coal, all of which are
produced by our own mechanics and work
men.
The Western and North Western popu
lations of our country arc beginning to
learn something of the value of protection.
Manufactories, furnaces, foundries and
rolling mills are springing up all over the
Western and North Western States. For
merly capitalists out there thought their
great distance from the seaboard would
give them ample protection against foreign
competition, especially in the heavier ar
ticles of iron and steel manufactures, salt,
&c. But the increased facility of trans
portation by steamers across the lakes or
up the Mississippi, or by rail over land,
have extended' competition and reduced
freight charges; so that even in those
distant interior States foreign competition
is beginning to be severely felt. Manu
facturers are every where in the interior
becoming clamorous for protection; and
Western members of Congress, who form
erly advocated a free trade policy, are now,
many of them, zealous advocates of the
opposite policy. It is the same in the
South, in Texas even, and in fact in every
State in the Union. The policy of pro
tection to home industries through the
operations of a judiciously arranged tariff
is to-day as. popular all over the United
States, as are the principles of our system
of Government.
The North Western cities are making
rapid progress in developing their manu
facturing resources. Woolen manuate
tories can be counted by the hundred in
the five North Western States; and dur
ing the next five years, with a progress
equal to that of the last five, those
States will rival New England and Penn
sylvania in many of the most important
branches of manufactures. Ohio is making
great progress in that direction. Cleve
land is very successful in the production of
iron. One rolling mill consumes 410 tons
of coal per day, and produces 30 tons of
steel, 40 tons of bar iron, 10 tons of steel
and iron wire, 20 tons of spikes and bolts,
8 tons of nails, and GO or 70 tons of pig
iron. These quantities are almost incred
itable, but we have them from the Iron
Sge, a very reliable authority. At the
same place, a new screw company, with a
capital of $1,000,000, has just been in
augurated. But the greatest triumph of
Cleveland, and of which Pennsylvania will
do well to make a note, Is embraced iu the
fact that the King Iron Bridge and Man
ufacturing Company are building a rail
road bridge at Waltham, Massachusetts,
thus competing with the Middle and East
ern States on their own ground.
And while referring to Cleveland en,
terprise it is worthy of special note that
the Cleveland Leader gives an interesting
account of the discovery of a new process
of making steel by the union of pig Won
with en ore called "cillioon ore." The
latter is mined in York county, Pennsyl
vania, near Gettysburg, on the line of the
Northern Central railroad. This article,
to make steel, requires only common pig
iron. while the old process required the
finer grades of charcoal pig.- This result
is secured •with unvarying certainty" "in
a common irou•puddling furnace, producing
steel by the tda in an hour as daily and
dimply as common bar iron," en enormous
improvement upon the old processes. This
"cillicon" steel is said to be superior to all
others; its tensile strength is greater; it
tempers and hardens at a lower tempera
ture ; it . is more malleable
. than the best
English steel; finally, it never deteriorates
by heating. If the one-half that is said
in its favor be true it is destined to revo
lutionize the steel industry of the country.
COL. FORNEY'S SUCCESSOR.
The President has sent to the Senate
the name of Mr. Seth L Comly for the
position of Collector of Customs at Phila
delphia. The Press, Col. Forney's paper,
says of him :
rieth I. Comly, nominated as Collector of the
Port of Philadelphia, is the right man in the right
place. He is the representative of no faction—be
longing neither to the house of York nor of Lan
caster—neither to Ca; Lila nor Montague—a broad,
genial, fearless Republican—a merchant without
stain, a gentleman without dishonor, a friend with
out fail. We greet him with the more heartiness
because we know lie will administer the elk.° in
the best interests of the city and of the Republican .
party. Mr. Comly is a native of Pennsylvania, born
on the West Branch of the. Susquehanna, who has
lived in Philadelphia for the last 25 years, has ac
quired a large fortune by close and coneiencions,
attention to business, end, without being a politi
cian in any 'sense, has always been an earnest Re
publican. No man Lai Over doubted his word or
questioned his credit. Ms presidency of the Co
mmercial Exchange will long he remembered for the
energy of his administration and the urbanity of
his deportment, and also fur his unselfishness and
his hospitality. Philadelphia has no citizen more
earnest in the development of er resources. With
his:Jenolwedge of ourcommerce external and inter
nal.; with his large leisure, and his entire absti
nence from the partrstruggles of the past, be will
be enabled, as the Collector of the Port of Phila
delphia, not simply to contribute to the augmenta
tion of our wealth, but to the establishment of our
reputation abroad. Cho President, in appointing
Mr. Comly, has again recognized Col. Forney's
anxious endeavors to lay the sure foundations of
Republican harmony and commercial prosperity.
JONATHAN TO JOHN
Secretary Fish's reply to Earl Granville
has been forwarded, and will probably reach
England to-day. It is conciliatory but
firm. The right to demand indirect dam
ages, based upon the terms of tho treaty,
is re-asserted. Non what will be the re
sult of all this flurry ? Simply this : Eng
land cannot withdraw from the Tribunal
at Geneva. An attempt to do so would
bring down upon her the condemnation of
the nations. The sacrifice of het' integrity,
by the act would damage her more than
the payment of many millions of dollars
for indirect damages. The claims will go
before the Tribunal as they are presented
in the American "Case." The claims will
be carefully considered, but damages will
be awarded oNLY for the actual losses sus
tained. Both parties to the trial will ac
cept the decision is final. Jonathan and
John will shake hands, exchange congrat
ulations, and become fast friends.

":1.. "Even the Lawyers are complaining of the
superabundance of technicalities, and the frequen
cy of incongruous rulings in the courts of this
State. It accords with common sense that the
principles of equity and justice underlying any
cause ought, if plainly stated, be apparent to a
jury, but a superfluity of legislation, judicial pre
oedents and the like, at present so clog the wheels
of justice that oftentimes when a man goes into
Court with a ease, no matter how seemingly right
ful, ho doesn't know exactly how he is going to
coma out of it. What has become of that commit
tee appointed over two years ago to revise the codo
of Pennsylvania statutes? Where is the com
pressed edition of Purdon the public were at one
time promised?"
The above paragraph we clip from the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. True, every word
of it. Thousand of cases are decided in
our Courts upon mere tetbniealities. Judge
Ira Harris, of New York, once said, when
speaking of the endles.2 technicalities which
were then in practice in that State, that
' , Justice is frequently smothered in her
own garments." What was true in New
York then is true in Pennsylvania now.
And in the face of this we have a Bar in
this State, known as the Philadelphia Bar,
that wants no improvement whatever. If
the lawyers will make no improvement the
people, who are always the sufferers, ought
to see that it is done. The Dispatch has
doubtless heard what has become of the
Committee.

amined by the House Committee charged

OUR ASIATIC t; r. ESTS,
The great event of the week is the pres
ence and Movements of the Imperial Ori
ental Embassy. Japan is just now under
going a transition that is - commanding the
wonder and admiration of all civilized na
tions. Until C.,m. Perry- entered tluAt
ports, and concluded a treaty with the
Japanese Government in 1g54, that coun
try was closed against commercial inter
course with the world. Now. Japanese
tea.;, silks, lacquered goods, and ether arti
cles, are found in every part of our coun
try and in almost every house.
But the most gratifying fact in connec
tion with that remarkable people is their
own newly-born desire to gather from oth
er nations all that is worthy or adoption
in their own country. Says au American
eye-witness in Japan : "The rapidity with
which foreign ideas, or thoughts, manners
and - customs of other nations arc being
adopted is • enough to take one's brssth
away." This is unquestionably one of the
results of the change in the form of gOv
eminent which occurred about four years
ago, when the Tycoon was superceded by
the Mikado, who, with a few of the most
powerful, intelligent and energetic princes,
form the central government.. One of
these princes, Iwakura, is -at the head of
the Embassy now in Washington. They
come, not so much to make treaties—which
wilt be left to a future Embassy—but: to
spy out all that is good and that can con
sistently be adopted in their own country.
With this object in view, they propose to
spend a year or more in America and Eu
rope. They will remain in Washington
over a month.
WELCOME TO THE CITY
The Embassy numbers 114 pFrsons, and
came in half-a-dozen Pullman ears. They
were met at the depot by llon.
Cook, Governor of the District, Mr. Mori,
the Japanese Minister, Mr. Chipman, our
delegate in Congress, and others. On as
sembling in the ladies' room at the depot,
Gor. Cooke, after an introduction to 'the
clistingulshed party, addressed Iwaknra as
follows :
I take very great pleasure in. extending to you and
your associates a hearty and sincere welcome to
the capital of this country. I trust that your visit
hero may not only be agreeable to you, personally,
but that it may result in closer ties and more inti
mate relations between our two countries. I ex
tend to you on behalf of the citizens of the District
its cordial hospitalites. I have now the pleasure
of introducing to you. Gen. Myers, of the army, who
has been intrusted with the pleasant duty of pro
viding for your comfort during your visit, and I
beg also to present Gm. Chipman, the representa
tive of this - Distriet in the Congress of the United
States,
This address, and also the following re
ply by Iwakura, were interpreted by Mr.
Mori, as soon as they were delivered.—
Iwakura said:
ithankyou kindly foryour remarks and kind ex
pressions, and have no doubt but the sentiments ex
pressed will to appreciated and reciprocated. I
am very glad at having arrived safe, and having
met with no accident. I have been informed by
Mr. Mori that you have been here sometime await
ing our arrival. I thank yen very much for' tak
ing this trouble, and I feel very much impressed
by this reception.
The party was then conducted in car

The dress of the ambassadors consisted
of a garment . arranged in draping folds of
heavy black rep silk, the head dress being
of fine wire in the form of a helmet, sup
porting a slender projection of the saute
material in the form of a tail. The dress
sword is remarkably heavy, incased in a
scabbard of silver, with profuse gold orna

very much the same, the head ornament
being a cap made in the form of ar cornu

lacquer, and the sword scabbard of lacquer
with silver ornaments. ,For-half art hoer
before leaving the Arlington the aut;;assa

assemblage of citizens eager to* witness
their departure.
The Embassy arrived at 12 o'clock ; pre
cisely. The President, Cabinet and many
of our distinguished officials were present.
Mr. Mori and Mr. Fish led in the ceremo

AMBASSADORS FROM JAPAN
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan,
our most
august sovereign, has sought since the achieve
ment of our national reconstruction, to attain a
more perfect organization in the administrative
powers of his government. He has studied with
interest the results attained by western nations,
.d having a sincere desire to establish permanent
and friendly relations with foreign powers on,a
still closer footing, ha. 3 commissioned us his am
bassadors exi raordinary to all powers having treaty
with Japan. Upon the Foil of your country we
first present our credentials, delivering to you
personally tho letter of our august sovereign at
this public official audience. The objects of the
mission with which we are charged by our gov
ernment arc somewhat set forth in this letter. We
aro authorized to consult with your Government
on all international questions, directing our efforts
to promote and develop wider commercial relations,
and draw into closer bonds the strong friendship
already existing between our respective peoples.
Thus we hope to gain fresh impulse in the paths
of progress. gaining gootrfrom every form of civi
lization. This we shall aim to do while in the:ex
orcise of strict integrity to.our own national inter

and shall earnestly hope to receive your kind..
operation in facilitating the task assigned no by
our Government.. We gladly avail ourselves of
this happy meeting to convey personally to your
excellency our sincere wishes for your continued
prosperity and happiness, and as national repre

- Without understanding a word of what
Iwakura said, the President replied as fol

nicest care :
REPLY OF TUE PRESIDENT.
Gentlemen: I am gratified that this country autl
that my administration will be distinguished in
history as the first which has received an embassy
from the nation with which the United States were
the first to establish diplomatic and commercial
intercourse. The objects which yon say have giv
en rise to your mission do honor to the intelligence
and wisdom of your sovereign, Red reflect credit
on you in having been chosen as the instruments
for carrying them into effect. The time must be
regarded as gone, never to return, when any 'na
tion can keep apart from all others and expect to
enjoy the prosperity and happiness which depend
more or less upon the mutual adoption of improve
ments not only in the science of goverrment, but
in those other sciences and arts which contribute
to the dignity of mankind and to nations' wealth
and power. Though Japan is one of the most an
cient•of organized communities and the United
States rank among.the most recent, we flatter our
selves that we have made some improvements upon
the political institutions of the nations from which
we arc descended. Our ,perienee leads us to be
lieve that the wealth, the power and the happiness
of a people are advanced by the encouragement of
trade and commercial intercourse with other pow
er, try the elevation and di pity of labor, by the
practical adaptation of seienCe to the manufactures

A general shaking of hands followed,
when the President led the way into an
other room, where the Oriental party was
introduced to Mrs. Grant, t.) the wives of
Cabinet officers, and to other ladies; short
ly after which the visitors retired, and
entering their carriages returned to the
Arlington.
GRANDRECEPTION AT THE MASONIC HALL
On Tuesday evening a grand ovation
was tendered to the Oriental party by the
Government officials. There were superb
music, a generous Supper, a little waltzing,
but no dancing. About 1,500 tickets
were issued and nearly all of them respond
ed to by.. the gentlemen receiving them,
who generally went accompanied by ladies.
There was no expense spared in rendering
this one of the most magnificent ovations
ever gotten up in Washington. Columns,
arches, waterfalls, flags and flowers, and a
thousand other things were called into
requisition to add to the effect.
ARRIVAL OF THE GuEsTs,
At 9 o'clock our distinguished citizens
began to arrive in carriages. About quar
ter past nine o'clock, Iwakura and his as
sociates arrived at the hall, under the
charge of Mr. Mori, the Japanese Minis
ter, and Mr. De Long.
They were met at the threshold, and
under the guidance of Mr. De Long, con
ducted to an upper room, where they re
moved their wrappings. A few minutes
thereafter they entered the scene of so
much festivity. Iwakura upon the arm
of Vice President Colfax, and his princi
pal colleagues supported by Secretaries
Fish, Boutwell, Belknap, and Governor
Cooke. Following their entrance came
close on their heels others of less impor
tance of the Asiatics, clad in well-fitting
dress-coats, white dickies, and new shoes.
This latter adornment seemed to prove a
serious obstacle to their locomotion, for
several of them nearly lost their balance in
walking over the waxed floor.
The party were conducted to the west
end of the room, where, on the raised dies,
.waiting to receive them, were Mrs. Secre
tary Fisk, Mrs. Vice President Colfax,
Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Blaine, Madam Blear
Bey, and others. -
Upon reaching the dies, Iwakura was
escorted to the centre, with Secretary Fish
and Vice President Colfax on either side.
To the right of Speaker Colfax was Mrs.
De Long, and to - the left of Mr. Fish Mr.
Mori.
THE PRESENTATION
Meanwhile, the ladies and gentlemen
I. uv. LI a u ctia,
on either side of the hail, leaving alarge
open space in the middle running clear all
the way up to the dias, where the Ambas
sadors were seated. The array thus pre
sented, on the right and left, was, indeed,
a gorgeous one; a perfect sea of feminine
loveliness, costly dresses, and sparkling
jewelry, interspersed with which were the
conventional black (Tress coat, and not a few
uniforms, of their male escorts.
This having been arranged—new visit
ors coming all the while, and filling up by
degrees a portion of the cleared space in
the middle of the hall—the Marine Band,
under the skillful leadership of Professor
Fries, struck up the overture to Der Frei
sAutz, following which came a Japanese
orsman's song, and other compositions, to
.the strains of which the guests slowly
formed in line, by couples, and, marching
up the dins, from the right side of the hall,
paid their respects, iu turn, to the Japa
nese dignitaries, who received then with a
bow and a pleasant smile.
As a matter of course everybody present
was desirous of having a handshake with
one or other of the Ambassadors, and but
very few were there who did not have their
wish gratified. It was worse, in this re
spect, than a Presidential levee, and Mr.
Iwakura, from his deep and graceful bows
and salutations, must have been not a little
wearied, and was, doubtless, glad when it
was over.
The evening was spent in conversation,
promenading, and a slight sprinkling of
waltzing, merely to let the Orientals "see
how it was done," and with which they
were doubtless much pleased.
The supper was sumptuous, but there
was more jam than anything else.
The visitors were enthusiastic in their
expressions of pleasure during the entire
evening. Quito a" number of them can
converse in our language, some of them
fluently.
RECEPTION OF THE EMBASSY AT THE
CAPITAL.
By previous arrangement the House of
Representatives assembled an hour earlier
(at 11 o'clock) on Tuesday to receive the
Japanese Embassy. Before that hour the
galleries were all crowded to excess. Boon
the passages and corridors became crowd
ed; and ladies in large' numbers were ad
mitted upon the floor of the House. A
few minutes after 11 the Embassy arrived.
The Chief Ambassador was escorted into
the Hall of the House by Gen. Banks, and
others by the several members of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. As the Ern_
bassy entered the House rose and received
them standing. Gen. Banks introduced .
the visitors by name, when Speaker Blaine,
turning toward the Embassy, made the
following

IWAKIMA'S REPLY
Unrolling a parchment, Iwakura, in the
Japanese language, (afterwards read in
English by Gen. Banks), spoke as follows:
Mr. Sppv.her, and Honorable members of the
11.suse of Representatives of the United States;
On behalf of the Ambassadors of Japan, our Sov
ereign and the people whom we represent, we ten
der to you our sincere thnnks and warms friend.

that however we have advanced toward the sources

step beyond. The government of Japan already
appreciates the value of on enlightened policy to

ocean that divides our countries. Let us express
the hope that our national frienship may he as

ble,Oed drops composing our common Pacific
ocean.
The members of the House were then
severally introduced and shook bands with
each member of the party. Soon after, the
Embody retired. N. FL . .
ta... We had the pleasure of taking by
the hand, last week, Hon. Seth Clover,
who is the uncle of James H. Clover, Esq.,
the popular landlord of the "Morrison
House." Seth Clover's name, along the
Pennsylvania Canal, twenty years ago, was
as common as that of any other man in the
State. -He was elected Canal Commission
er in 1851, and served a term Of three years.
He was the youngest man, at the time of
hiS election, that was ever elected to a
State office. Ile was subsequently ap
pointed an Indian Agent, by Buchanan's
Administration, and located at Paoli, Kan
sas, where he now resides. He looks young
and vigorous yet, and is as fond of talk as
any man we have met for a month. His
experience in Kansas was of a lively char
acter, and, if related, would fill a volume.
He remained in Huntingdon several days.
