Grant, and asking for his nomination by the Philadelphia Conven tion. mgt. Nye learn that J. R. Simpson, Esq., has been selected as the member of the Republican State Central Committee fir this county. This is an excellent selec tion and one that will give univerial . isfaction. m. A large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held at the Copper Institute, New York city, on Wednesday night, to endorse the administration of Gen. Grant. The meeting, in p Ant of numbers and enthusiasm, exceeded anything of the kind ever witnessed in th.tt city. sar The JOURNAL has double the cir culation of the Globe. If advertising is worth anything at all it is in proportion to the number of readers to whom it is pre sented. it is only necessary to present these facts to advertisers who understand their business. tf We are still receiving the Lvislo live Journal. We have examined it close ly and find that it contains the names and sayings of the late members. Are we to have the thing all summer ? The only way that the Legislature will ever be able to realize the pleasure of reading its pro ceedings of the day previously will be to rem3ve the capital. Information has been received at Washington that Mr. Catacazy's case has been thoroughly investigated in the coun cil of the Russian Empire. He. is dis graced and has left the country to reside in Paris. The Government gives him a pension of 3,000 roub:es par annum, to be withdrawn if he makes any publication or gives new cause for offence. Ser Dr. William H. Williamson, of Bedford, is the author of the seferal laugh able stories—" How Peter Green was scared out of getting a Wife" and "The Old Man Trounced Me ; But I fooled him at last"—published in the JOURNAL. The Doctor is good at wiry telling and his stories are new. He will favor us with several others. sa. The Liberal movement in Penn sylvania has developed itself, and it does not strike us as being very formidable. It would have been very singular indeed if soreheads enough could not have been found to get up a delegation from the "Old Keystone." We have to hear of the first wan, in this county, who is in sym pathy with the movement. 1 He that would knowingly pay one party as much for one thousand circulars, to advertise his wares, as he would have to pay another party for two thousand, would be considered a very stupid fellow amongst business men, and yet he would only be in the same category with the man who will advertise in a newspaper with half the cir culation, for the same money he would pay one with double the circulation. tf, Dar• Tu discover spurious greenbacks or national bank notes divide the last two figures of the number of the bill by four, and if one remain the letter on the genu ine will be A; if two remains it will be 13; if three, C; and should there be no remainder the letter will be D. For ex ample, a note is registered 2,461; divide sixty-one by four and you will have one remaking. According to the rule the letter on the note will be A. In case the rule fails be certain that the bill is coun terfeit SATURDAY IN CONGRESS . S...turd;y in the - House of Representa tives at Washington is usually set apart for speech nicking. The Speaker absents himself, giving up his place to a member of the House ; and following his example, nine-tenths or more of the members are; not present. In fact not over a dozen or at most a score of the representatives of the people are in their seats. Those who propose to take part in the proceedings come with their speeches in their pockets. They read a few pages, and then ask and obtain permission to print the speech en tire in the Globe, and at - the public ex pense. Take for example the proceedings on Saturday, April 6, which were reported briefly in the daily papers on Monday morning as follows : The House met in committee of the Whole, for debate only, Mr. Waldron, of Michigan in the Chair. Mr. Moore, of Illinois, spoke for an hour upon general political subjects, and obtained per mission to print the remainder of hie remarks. Mr. Whittborne, of Tennessee obtained Irate to print his remarks upon the subject of banking and cur rency. Mr. Hill. of New Jersey, spoke upon the subject of tariff and taxation, advocating protec tion to American industry, printing a portion of his remark.. Mr. M'Cormiek. of Arizonia, asked and obtained leave to print some remarks upon a bill introduced by him to restrict the killing of buffalo upon the public lands. Mr. Havens, of Missouri. asked and obtained learc to print a opeeell upon civil service. This is the report for one day, and it is a fair average of the doings of each Satur day set apart for speech making. To print them entire, makes it necessary to issue a double sheet of the Globe in which they occupy an average of thirty two columns. Taking the statement made in the Senate a few d tys ago that each column of the Globe, including the several editions, cost $5OO, we find that eteh Saturday's speech making costs the people $16,000. This is no inconsiderable amount, in view of the fact that economy and retrenchment are. ought to be. the watchwords in every de partment of the Government. But this i-: not the main objection to these Saturday speeches. If they always contained infor mation based upon fact, or could in any way be considered to result in any good to the country. the people would not perhaps complain of their cost. But such is not the fact. They are, in nine cases nut of ten, prepared and printed without the least regard to the interests of the country, or any portion of it, but solely with the view of gratifying a prejudiced constituency.— In many cases the Administration is tra duced and denounced. The questions of finance and taxation are misrepresented; the tariff is distorted into a gigantic evil and a fraud upon the entire community; Secretary Boutwell is a fraud, and the eild in the Treasury, to quote the language used, "is an unblushing uton..ment of the wicked folly of those who enacted the laws under which it has accumulated." And again : "Under the present wasteful, ex travagant, and dishonest administration of, the Government; after all that bas been wasted by the reckless and incompetent management; after all the high salaries of myriads of office-iloldets have been paid; after all the defalcations; after all the rob hers and thieves have been satiated, this enormous RIM remains in the Treasury un appropriated, unneeded—a fund of corrup- ' tion, a surplus to invite jobs and to give plausibility to 'arguMents in favor of ex travagant appropriations." This is a fair sample of a large portion of the Saturday speeches. On the other days of the week misrepresentation would be immediately checked, but on Saturday there are few present, and the most preposterous state ments find their way to the country through the columns of the Globe, and at the peo ple's expense, unchallenged and uncontra dieted. The falsehoods acd misrepresen tations thus promulgated are carefully re printed by the opposition press, while the speaker in Congress has his speech put up in pamphlet form from the Globe, and front five to forty thousand copies are dis tributed over the Union. Theunsop::isti cated and confiding people receive and read these documents as legitimate and unchallenged Congressional representation of facts, while in fact not one-half, or a fourth, or even a single eentence of the speech was ever uttered in Congresi; or if spoken was when there was no one present to challenge and correct the misstatements or deny the charges made. This system of Saturday speech making is productive of no goad; but it gives the opposition an opportunity of sending to the country a vast amount of reading mat ter, bearing the stamp of Congressional endorsement, the tendency of which is to prejudice the public mind against the best public measures of Congress, the policy of the Administration, and the principles of the Republican party. Is it wise to fur nish an enemy with weapons for our own destruction ? Ser We have several times spoken of the heavy cost to the State of the abortive labors of the Civil Code Commission. We also alluded, in general terms, to the inca pacity of the commissioners for the work required of them. It, seems, however, that the criticism of the legal profession is directed entirely against that part of the code prepared by Judge Derrickson. The Legal Opinion says of the work of this mem ber of the commission (without mentioning his name) : "The passages'quoted are sim ply indefensible; yet it ought to be known that they are the work of only one of the commissioners. The labors of the other were conssientiotua and thorough, and will not be overlooked by those who may here after attempt another revision. That a revision is needed, is certain, and that it can only be made after much opposition and bitter criticism is equally sure." Judge Derrickson, of Meadville, and Judge Hall, of Bedford, performed the entire work of the commission. Patriot. is. Governor Geary, it is saie, indig nantly denies that Chorpennin N -Cessna, of Bedford, persuaded him to hang up the apportionment bill until after the next election. He declares that the aforesaid Cessna never spoke to him on the subject. On the other hand that odorous ex-M. C. boasts wherever he goes that he "fixed . ' his excellency on the apportionment bill, and claims that the radical party of his district owe him another nomination for the peculiar service he has rendered them. —Patriot. eau Hon. R. N. Speer, will accept our thanks for a copy of the Statistics of Pop. ulation of the census of 1870. BADE In ancient Gieece there was a class of politicians who, contrary to the golden rule of strict honesty in politics as prac ticed by the Athenian law-makers, resorted to fallacious argument and subtilty reas oning ; but who, when their vain subtleties and false axioms were detected, under cover of classic eloquence and superficial philosophy, were pronounced Sophists, and drew upon themselves not only the con tempt of their peers, but the general hatred of the entire community.. In our own day we have the counterpart of those ancient sophists in the Congress of the United States; men who, if they possess the intelligence of an ordinary practical mind, know that their doctrines are false in theory and in practice. It is admitted even by themselves that the democratic party which they represent. is hard pressed for arguments against the administration; but when the plain unvar nished truth fails to aid them, they do not hesitate to resort to systematic misrepre sentation. Among a score or more of speeches by democratic members of . Co n gress, delivered in the House of Representatives, on Sat urdays, when there are few or no members present to correct their misrepresentations, we take up one by Hon. E. Crossland, of Kentucky, in which he used the following language The people of the United States consumed, dur ing the last calendar year, roily million bushels of salt. Of this we imported but twelve million bushels—this was worth, before it paid duty. 91,- 15q,268 56 ; it paid duty amounting to 81.170.- 587 37; and the value of it raised to $2,334,705 93 But the people consumed forty million bushels, of which twenty 7 eight million bushels were manu factured in the United States. and woo sold to them at tho same price paid for the imported salt. And the consumers actually paid on the domestic product of salt a tariff of $3,163,000 ; add duty paid on imported salt, 81.1713.587 37 ; tax paid by consumers of salt. 84,326.587 37. Of this the Government received. 81.176,587 37. and the Amercan manufacturers, 03.169,1100. And to get 81,176.587 37 revenue into the Treasury the peo ple paid 81336.587 37 of tax. Here we have the free trade theory, as taught by the Free Trade League of New• York. that a duty on fbreign articles raises the price of the domestic product in all cases to the extent of that duty. Mr. Crossland applies the same theory • to all articles consumed in the country, of which a portion, no matter how small, is imported and pays a duty. He enumer ates iron, steal, bides, skins, leather, cotton goods and wool manufactures, and insists, in the face of incontrovertible facts to the contrary, that our own product of these articles is increased in price just to the amount of the duty paid on similar articles imported; and that this increased cost goes into the pockets of monopolists. And thus, to use his own words,."to get $204,- 446,673 into the Treasuiy the people pay $920,010,015 tax." Now what are the facts ? Take the article of salt as a fair illustration. We manufactured twenty-eight million bushels of salt and imported twelve million bushels during the last. year. Let the quantities be borne in mind. The domestic product was 2i times as much as the quantity im ported. These twenty-eight million bush els were made in almost as many. clifferent States—in the East. West, North-West, and South—and from seventy-five to one hundred different and independent compa nies, all vieing with each other-to produce the best and cheapest article, and thus secure successful competition in the mark ets. Syracuse and Saginaw manufacturers use every legitimate means in their power to compete successfully with each other, and ED also do the lesser establishments throughout the country. There is mani festly no combination, no monopoly; and the public are supplied at the lowest pos sible price at which the article can be produced. This much will be accepted as a fact, about which there can be no doubt iu any unprejudiced mind and no room fur controversy. The next p :Itis an admitted maxim in political. economy and in political, ex perience, that the greater quantity rules the market and regulates the prices. We make 28 and imp)rt'l2 million bushels of salt. in the year. The home product is 21 times as large ati tb.e imported quantity, and must therefore control the market and establish. the prices. The foreign article, to find a sale, must submit to the ruling prices when it arrives. It cannot control the market. It cannot raise prices. If it produces any effect upon the market it is simply to reduce prices by the operation of the common law of supply and demand. Yet Congressman Crossland, of Kentucky, tries to wake the people believe that the' i duty increases the cost not only of the imported article but also of the home pro duct to the full extent of the amount of duty imposed. It is simply a free trade sophism to deceive the public. Another point : The tariff is not only not a tax upon the home product, but it is not even a tax to the consumer on the imported article. Remember that 21 bushels are made in the country for 1 bushel imported. The larger quantity con trols the market and establishes the prices. The imported bushel to reach the market, must pay the 'cost of getting there, which includes the duty, and then be sold at the market price. The producer and not the consumer of the foreign article pays the duty. Hence the duty is not a tax at all upon the consumer. Another fact : When in 1860 the duty on salt was low we made only twelve mil lion bushels and imported twenty-flop mil lion bushels. Under protection the tables are turned. We import only twelve instead of twenty-five million bushels, and produce at home twenty-eight instead of twelve million bushelS. And salt is as cheap to-day, in gold, as it was in 1860 under a low tariff. There has been a tremendous noise raised in and outside of Congress by the apponents of the protective policy—the democracy about the duty on salt—a duty which, even if it came out of the pockets of the people, which is not the case, would amount annually, to each con sumer, to just three cents. But which, acting as a check upon the foreign pro ducer, it raises our home product from twelve million bushels in 1860, to twenty eight million bushels in 1871, and trans fers nearly one and a quarter million dol lars annually, in duties, from the pockets of the foreign producers, who avail them selves of our markets, into the Treasury of the United States. So much for u judicious system of legis lative protection to our own home indus tries. Aacrisbuzs+ominations•have been reeeived;"Without any enthusiasm, all over the State. This is a deplorable state of affairs. We do hope that some changes will be made in the ticket to satisfy those who complain so very bitterly. It would show a decint respect for the opinion of the Republican masses. The - argument of the Philadelphia Post is that might makes right, and that minorities have no rights that the majorities arc bound to respect. DA, The counter cases of England aud the United States have been exellziged at Geneva. A telegram from London April 19, says : The journals of this city continue to discuss the counter cases presented by the British and Amer icon governments at Geneva, drawing a contrast between them very unfavorable to the American case. Intimations have been received here of a probability of the withdrawal of the indirect claims. These are unfavorably commented on by the newspapers, and the government and people of the United States are praised for their apparent disposition to render possible a fulfilment of the terms of the Treaty of Washington. rm.

WORLD-WIDE TRIBUTE TO PROF. MORSE. The . marnatial mnetine• in the gill -41 the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening, April 16, under the au - spices of the "National Telegraph Memorial Asso ciation," was worthy of the man and .the occasion. There was an immense throng in attendance. Admission was granted to those only who had secured. tickets, and every foot of space on the floor and in the galleries was occupied. Among those pre sent were many prominent citizens from distant States. Speaker Blaine occupied the chair. Exercises were commenced with prayer precisely at 7.30 p. m., end closed with the benediction near midnight. Telegrams bearing appropriate words of eulogy, and high regard for the memory of the world's benefactor were received and read, from Ireland, Scotland, Egypt. Indja,. China, Batavia, Canada, Halifax, St. Jerin,:i : N. 8., and from nearly every State - h l / 2 ctto , 'Union. , . The meeting was addressed .by lceie Blait,e, Dr. C. C. Cox, Cyrus W. Field;' Senator Patterson, of N. ,H.; Hon. Kr nando Wood, Gen. J. A. Garfield, Hon. S. S. Cox, Hon. D. W. Voorhees, . and Hon. N. P. Banks. Many of the speichzs were carefully prepared and embraced glowing illustrations of the wondcrful ef fects of the discovery of electricity and magnetism, and the invention of the tele graph have produced upon the world. The Washington Choral Society sung appropriate selections between the speech es, alternating with the Washington Ma rine Band. The exercises closed with a Dirge by the Choral Society and Benedic tion by Dr. Butler of the Lutheran Church of Washington. CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES, On Thursday Mr. Dawes introduced in the House a bill "to reduce the force re quired for the collection of the internal revenue and to reduce the expense of such collections." The bill is the one recoM , mended by the Secretary of the Treasury: It provides that'after January 1, 1873, the offices of collector, deputy collector, asses sor, and assistant assessor shall cease, and that the United States shall be divided into fifty collection districts, and tints. supervisor shall be appointed for each dis trict, who is to perform el the duties con nected with collecting the revenue. The supervisor is allowed to nominate a deputy, and is made responsible for all his acts.- The inspectors and guagers and all subei... dinate officers are to be allowed a per diem salary. The salary of a supervisor is not to exceed five thousand,. dollars a year; a deputy super Visor three thousand dollar's; and clerks sufficient to perfOrm the duties are allowed at it salary not exceeding'pfc thousand dollars per year Tlio :comMis sioner of internal revenue is autgicriare f ; make all regulations necessary 10'4441 the law.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN WASHINGTON, The judges of the Supreme , COurtof District of Columbia, in revising' the new' Cbde prepared by the commission to.cotijfy the laws of the District, have ordered the. word "male." in connection with admis . sion to the bar, to be stricken out, thus opening the way to women to practice in the courts at the Washington bar. •Letter from Flarida:- WAILEINGTON, FLA., April 11th, 1372. EDITOR JOURNAL —Sir :—A few days ago a very ps.rticu!ar friend of mine (also a contrib utor to your paper,) sent me your JOURNAL with the request that I should read and give (him) my opinion as regards its politics. I have done so and am pleased to say its tone in that respect pleases me exactly, therefore I concluded that a few lines from this part of the land of flowers, mosquitoes, alligators, ue groes, sweet potatoes and pea nuts might not be uninteresting to your readers, at least to a :few interested in the progress of the South. Within the past month I have traveled through Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Ala bama, and a part of this State, which gives me 'tome little knowledge of the "times in the Southern States." There arc only two classes or parties as far as I have seen in the South—the Republicans and Democrats or "K. K. K. ;" the former is composed of the carpet baggers, or men from the North, and the negroes, who are. unani mously Republicans ; the other parry is com posed of ca-confederate soldiers, acd those who fought, supported and favored the "lost cause." The negroes are somewhat puzzled now. Those of them that can read, see in the western papers, (also some of the Southern), the announcement of two Republican Con ventions--the Liberals at Cincinnati—the true party nt Philadelphia. Their old masters are trying—first to keep them in the dark until they see the result of the Cincinnati Conven tion and in the second place, poison their minds as regards Grant. But every intelligent negro says Gen. Grant is the man, and two or three have told me that they did not, nor would not support any man named Davis, that they had seen enough of old Jeff to satisfy them. lam satisfied that should President Grant be nominated that the negroes throughout the entire South will vote fm him, awl they are determined to maintain their constitutional rights, even if they be compelled to resort to delenslVC means. I chanced to be in New Orleans, La.,'at the Presidential election of 1868. I saw the tie groes.frightened from the polls by organized parties of "The Patriotic sons of the South" of late better known as the "K. K. K's." But Sambo has had four years study, and has learned well, and I have no doubt they will march in solid cultimn la the polls, and cast their rote fcr the Republican nominee. Some three years ago the general opinion of the white population of the South—especi ally the Into slave-holding planters—in regard to the cotton culture, was that before they could proceed to plant cotton, they must have other labor than that of freedmen. The same opinion prevailed at the north, that the color ed people would become reckless in every respect, which they claimed would naturally follow emancipation. The women would be withdrawn from the field, and the shiftless ness and willfulness of those who in a warm climate have been bred in ignorance and deg radation, and are suddenly thrown upon themselves, are followed with unfortunate consequences. The truth probably is that these hastily formed opinions have resulted quite to the reverse. The uegroes of the south are awakening from a dream of peace and plenty, as long as the Bureau suppled 'them with every necessary of life, but when that failed, which, through the excellent man agement of Gen. Howard, was done so gradu ally, that thrown entirely upon their own re sources was scarcely perceptible to them. They at once threw themselves into the har ness, and to-day are thriving, grasping with a powerful hand the bone of ireedom's.conse quences. . . . . The &el is particularly adapted for the growth of the belt cotton iu the word. Yet the area devoted to it is not more than the one-twentieth part of the formerly cotton plantations. The crop of this year may be about 6,500,000 bales, an amount which some single States alone might produce. Both the character and system of cotton plantation la bor have changed. It was a satisfactory ex periment, the change from slave to free labor to the planters, they see now that slave labor was always most slothful, wasteful and ex pensive. $83,845,561 The negroes are now securing small farms, some larger ones, and in many sections of Georgia, Alabama and Florida they have be come quite wealthy and influential, showing to their brothers what industry and economy can do. It =nst be constantly remetthered that the - great want of the Sonth is not primarily the development of cotton fields, it is that gen eral intelligence which understands the rely houses, chiirehes, raiii:;ilds, machinery and the spirit that fosters these, are essential to the best and increasing cotton crops.. Some few are here, but we need more. Even the laboring man of the north can command twice the wages here that he can North, especially mechanics, as there .re few of that class of industry South except in large cities. This highly southern toned sheet pitches into the Washington Patriot for rideculinz A. H. Stephens, and says, "that Stephens' true offence is that he will not admit that the Con stitution of the United States was made a 'dead issue' by the surrender of Lee's army at the end of the war waged before all the world 'to save the Unix , J.' " It further states tha , , "Stephens is simply a Constitutional Democrat, a character that cannot be understood by the par-boiled, modified things called Democrats, who were whipped out of their courage, their dignity and their principles in the late war.". Cuoctus. comparative Progress of Wealth under 1:-ProtecZion and British Free Trade. • `.Cho "true value" a the real and per- Tonal: property of. the Unio'i, as given by the census of 1860, was, in round nmn ibers. $16,000,000,000. , lA.this;however,was included as the value :of colored men who now own themselves, and are, for,,that reason, no longer return ed as property. an amount not varying ma terially from $3,000,000,000. Deducting this, we have as the value of all property, slaves excluded, $13,000,000,- , 000. • The "true value," as now spin given by the Census of 1879, is $30.000,0)0,000, giving as the increase of the last decade an amount greater, by 30 per cent., than the total accumulation since the first set tlement of Virginia and Massachusetts. The result thus presented is a very re markable one, yet it is proposed now to show that it gives but half the truth, as follows : The greater the competition for the pur chase of human service, physical or men tal, the more does man .himself rise in value. At the date of the census of 1860 there was no such competition, and wages !had so greatly fallen that the average im migration of that and the two previous years had been less than half' that of 1849, the last of the years in which this impor taut question had been affected by the pro tective tariff of 1842. Of the few who then arrived thousands wandered over the country, seeking employment that could no where be obtained. Now, wages are so high that immigration has already more than doubled, and each and every man finds prompt demand ftr the service he is prepared to render. Adding to this the increased value resulting from increased facilities•cif obtaining education and from the conversion of common into skilled la borers; and the increased reward of the mental labors of merchants, manufacturers, and professional men generally; it would appear scarcely unsafe to say that the an nual average of our people, old and young, skilled and unskilled, laborers with the head and the.hand, was 850 greater than it had-been •ten years since. Putting it, however, at but $25. and oar population in round numbers at 40,000,000, we have $1,000,000,000 as the increased annual value of labor; that sum represents a cap- Ital as nearly as may be equal to that rep vesented by the increased material wealth, giving, therefore, as the growth of a sin gle decade the wonderful amount of $33,- ' 000,000,000. In the previous decade, 1850-60, the growth, allowance being made for that which had resulted from increase of nc.!•ro population, was but $8,000,000,000. From its commencement to its close, wages had so greatly declined that the desire to bring labor here to sell had, as has been shown, more than one-half declined.

Ti take, therefore, the annual average value, in 1860. of physical and mental service as being the precise equivalent of that which had ex isted in 1805 is doing it, as we believe, the extremeet justice. Admitting this, the growth of wealth in the last decade, so large a portion of which has been a pe riod of war and waste. has been four times greater than that of the previous one, al though to the latter it was that we had stood first indebted for the vast influx of California gold. To what now are these facts due ? Plain ly. to the readoption of that policy of re sistance to the British monopoly system to which we had been so largly indebted in the brief periods of the tariffs of 1828 and 1842. Shall that policy be retained, or shall we return mire again to that submissive one to which the country now stands in bebted for the crisis of 1842 and 1857, and for the waste and ruin of the rebel lion ? These are important questions, and may be worthy the careful consideration of Republicans who now dream of giving countenance to an opposition movement whose especial object is that of bringing the country again under the control of British traders and British gamblers.— North American.
