When gentle ladies who have got
The utter of a lover's hand,

And do not tnran his lot of land;
When young mechanics ire allowed
To find and wed the farmer' girl
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds ind pearls;
When wive, In short, shall freely give
Their henrt and hand to nid their spouse.

Within their sires' one-story house;

GENERAL nitlNKERIIOOF ON FREE TRADE
AND PROTECTION.
A nolico of Bomo of llto pi incitml
fuft and nri;miirnl8 set forth by Gon.
jii itiKei noil, in nin iccturo tit the Court
llouso, on Wednesday ovcninir. Wtta
promised. Gen. lirinkorhoff torn-
meneea hy aoi tin the initiortnnro
of this suliject lo tlio Aincrietin po5ilo.
In it tlB material pnwperilv of the
country was involved lo a greater ex-.
tout thnn in any oilier polmo d ques
lion now ailutinir Iho public mind.
By frce-lrado was not meant tho ro
moval of oil duties on imports : but
thu luvyinff of ilutiex on a atrictly rcv-
entio littaiK. Tho motto of tho free
trader was: "Millions for revenuo,
not a rent for protection " In re;ii
lulitip the l:rill, tho first thinr to bu
done w:ts to traeo tho duties levied,
and sou here they po to. If they go
into tho colters of tho povornment,
then tho principlo upon which the
tnrill' is bn-eil is u sound and juxt ono
Tho only lliinir further to be observed,
is, that no mora revenue is raised than
is absolutely necessary, and that tho
weallh ol the country bo mndo to pny
its full proportion. If the tax, or any
considerable portion of it, instead of
froing into tho publio treasury, goes
into tho pockets of a few favored In
dividuals or classes, tho principlo is
unsound and unjust, and ttltoulil be
abandoned at once.
Gen. ItrinkerhofT asserted it as in
contiovcruhly truo that, as a general
rulo, tho duty levied upon an imported
product enhanced the price of both
tho imported commodity and the homo
product with w hich it camo in com
petition, to tho extent of tho duty
levied. In proof of this, ho quoted
tho prico of iron in litis country for a
series of years past, under both hiph
and low tatilTn, shtiwinir that the price
hat) invariably pone up as the dutyi
had been increased, and gonoduwn as
tho duty bud been dimiiiinlird. So,
too, of t.ther commodities, such as
alt, Sec, to which ho referred by way
of illustration. To this rule lliero
wcro exceptions, but t'uuy wcro easily
explained.
To show how prosnly the preent
tariff violated tho fundamental princi
ple upon which all turilTs otiirhl lo be
Adjusted, vijr,: the aimplo purposo of
raising revenue for lite government,
tho spcuker refern J lo n few of the
taxed commodities by way of example.
And first, lumber, which was an nrliclo
of prime necessity, and of which tho
" "' i
people of Iowa were compelled to!"1".,"0 ",0 r" "'U"'r a -no.no mar
purchase nca.lv their entire supply. ..no H'"" t tho commencement.
The duty on lumber is 20 per cent. W u' W "?e, lo tariff docs not
ad valorem. Taking tho census of, n1".d "'t. very nature of
1800 ss a basis, and allowing for a fair! f '""),', bei.cfil the tignculturulisl- by
rate of increase, the annual consump- morcastnrflhe pnee ol his products,

might be safely estimated at 5-,),,,. ' the cost of production and Ihe cost
nnooori lt. i,. ..-..li ..ii ....ii transporting his commodities to
woultl placo it nt flftO.OOO.Ofin. A
lax of 20 per cent, on this, is S:i0,009,

that tho revenue which llie govern
ment collects on imporled lumber is
only nbnat 8000,0(10 n year. Of tho

is prohibited. Not a barrel of sail

and tbero sell it, lifter pitying fioiphl
and nil other charges, r $1.00 per
barrel, thus showing that they not
only need no protection against com
petition from that quarter or any
other, but that thoy can undersell
Canadian salt manufacturers in thoir
own market. The Onondaga Com
pany, on a captlal of only 8100,000,
nave ocen cmimed, under the present
luriii, 10 reap uiviticmis amounting to
many millions. A more outraireous
instance of plundering tho masses of
mo peoiiio lor tho benefit of a. fuw in.
dividmils, is not to bo found in tho
legislative history of any country.
(Jen. liliiikorliutr tlinn Drncenili'il In
slio bow the existing tariff discrimi
nated against the noorcr classes.
Woolen cloths, carpets, blankets.
shawls, ie., iic, were cited as exam
ples, in all of which tho coarser uni
fies used by tho poor aro taxed much
higher than thoso of a Qnor and more
costly material.
One striking feature of our present
tariff, ho said, was the ercut number
of articles upon which duties were
levied. Tho list numbered ovor 4,000,
presenting a striking contrast to tho
laritt ot (.treat lir. tain, w hich raises an
annual revenuo of (5120,000,000 in gold
irom lourtcen articles alouo. In refer
ence to our own tariff ho slated thai
ono half of our rovenuo was derived
from ten article : that thrco otiarters
or $140,000,000, came from thirleon
articles; thut this latter amount with
such internal taxes as should bo re-
tallied, would bo amply sullicioiit to
meet all tho legitimate wants of Iho
government and leave a surplus of
J.'.I.OOO.OOO a ycur lo be applied to
Iho principal rf iho nalionul debt;
that Iho duties should be retained on
theso articles, alone, vie t tea, coffee,
sugar, molasses, spices, fruits, wines,
spirits, tobacco, glass, silk, linen, tin,
furs, gloves of skin, nuts, sardines,
choeoli to, opium and liquorice, and
abolished on nil else, lie argued that
iho lax should bo retained on tea,
coffee and sugar, becatiso every dollar
of it poos into the treasury. From
theso thrco articles alotto tho revonuo
is S.VJ.IIOO.UOO a year, and yet the ex
pense to each individual consumer
docs not exceed tl.50 vcarly. A man
pays that much tax on cvory pair of,
boots that ho buys j and on a suit of
clothe ho pays us much tax us a
family of half a dozen persons would
pay on their tea, coffee, sugar und
molasees for u whole year.
Inferring to tho rapid decline in
our commercial mnrino.Cien. Bl inker-
hot! stud Hint sinco the present tariff
went into operation, our shipping has
decreased at Iho ralo of half a million
of tons yearly. Of iho 12ft great
steamships that traversed tho Atlantic,
not one curried the A mniran fay ! ! .'
In 1 Still (hero wero employed in the
New York ship yards 20,000 skilled
mechanics nnd 1,0U0 iippreiitifcs.
Now tho number does not exceed 500.
To expose tho fallacy of tho "home
"ntarkel" argument of iho protection
ists, he showed that Iho great pro
tected industries of tho country iron,
cotton and woolen manufactures
gives employment to only 300,000
persons, including women nnd chil
dren, lie said if cadi of theso per
sons were n man and consumed an
average of tlo'J agricultural products
a year, ilie aggtegato consumed by
them all would not equal 4 per cent,
of tho aggregate agricultural produo
tions of the country. And wero they
all swept out of existence tho effect on
tho price tif wheat would not be visi
ble. Nearly tho entire woik of the
great manufacturing establishment!
connected with thes-o industries is per
formed by machinery, ami to talk of
drawing to them, through iho agency
of tho tariff laws, a stillicienl number
of operatives tnconsnmu our surplus
agricultural products is the climax of
absurdity! Tho present proteclivo

State Pights in the Supreme Court.
Th following is nn extract from
tho opinion of the Supremo Court of
the United States in the case of
.'umes ISullitigton, Into Collector of
Internal Ifovonuo, plaintiff in error,
vs. Joseph M. Day, ono of the Judges
of -('robalo in Massachusetts. The
opiaion was delivered bv Mr. Justice
elson, all tho othor Judges assenting
except Mr. Justice Bradley:
It is n familiar rulo of const ruction
of tbe Constitution of the Union that
the sovereign powers rested in Iho
Stale governments by thoir respective
Ciisutiiliona remain unaltered and
unimpaired, except so far us Ihcy
were granted to tho government of
tho United IStatos. That tho inten
tion of iho f ranters of tho Constitution
in this respect might not bo minim
derslood this rulo ol inteniretalion is
expressly declurcd in the' tenth arti
clo of iho amendments, namely : "Tho
powers not delegated to the United
SialeB are reserved to the States, re
spectively, or to the people" The
government of the United Stales,
therefore, can claim no powers which
aro not granted lo it by Iho Constitu
tion, ami tho powors actually granted
must bo such as arc expressively givon,
or given by necessary implication.
Tho general government und the
States, although both exist within tho
stitno territorial limits, are separate
and distinct sovereignties, acting
separately and independently of each
other, within iheir respective spheros.
Tho former, in its appropriate sphere,
is supremo ; but the Suites within the
limits of their powers not granted, or
in tho language of the tenth amend
ment, "reserved," oro os independent
of the general government as that
government within its sphere is inde
pendent of tho States. Tho relations
existing between tho two govern
ments aro well stated by tho present
Chief Justice in tho caso of Jjtine
County vs. Oregon (7 Wall, '7l) :
'Doth tho States and the United
States," bo observed, "existed before
the Constitution. The people, throngn
that instrument, established a more
perfect union by snhsliltiling a nation
al government, acting with ample
powers directly upon tho citizens, in
slmd of tho confederate government,
which acted, with powers greatly re
stricted, only u in ui iho States. lint
in many of tho article of iho Consli-1
tulion the necessary existence of tho
blates, nnd, within their proper
sphere, too independent authority ol
tlio Slules, aro distinctly recognized.
To t Ii o ui nearly the wholo charge of
interior regulation is committed or
lull ; to them nnd to tho people all
powers not expressly delegated to tho
national government arc reserved.
Upon looking into tho Constitution
it will bo found that but a few of the
articles In that instrument could be
carried into practical effect without
the existent o of tho Slates. Twu of
tho great department of the govern
ment, the executive and legislative,
depend upon tho exercise of tho pow
ers or upon the people of tho States.
llie Constitution guarantees
to tho
States a republican form of govern-
mont, and to protect each against in-
vitsiun or domestic violence. Kuch

for the sake of self preservation ex

why are not those of tho States, de

It is admitted that thoro is no ex

But wo are referred to the Veuxlo

The Fruits of Radical Teachings,
That men and women in tbe coal
regions havo actually begun to fight
among themselves is a culminstion
that must warn all engaged in tin
contost that it is time to atop it. Ne
goliation and discussion are the legit i
mate modes of settling financiul and
economical .questions, and when lite
missiles of a mob, or tho bayonets of
winners nro nccueu to enforce argil
menls, they must be very weak ones.
It is tho evil of tho day in which we
live, that tho spirit of violence is fos
tered, nnd an appeal to it advocated
on ovcry slight occasion, The whole
policy of ono of the political parties
ol Iho country lies now in fomonling
slnle and greedily catching at pretexts
lor a resort to arms. "Cut throats"
is the precept now of Radicalism ; il
may bo called its only political princi
ple. If through tho recent legislation,
tho South can be plunged back into u
a stale of war, il will renew the har
vest of great hordes of peculators and
plunderers, and afford a chance for
controlling the ballot box. It is from
liadical philanthropists, so called, thai
bloody teachings issue, which will not
bo limited in their operation to the
fields prescribed to litem. Tho whole
country takes in theso sunguinary
counsels, and every excited crowd
nnd angry man is rrndv to act on
1 u
icm. Yesterday, a Radical minor
furnished this progrummo, from one
of its party lettders. Mr. Wendell
Phillips is reported us eaying, in a
speech on tho Uth inst :
There is still, slate of war with tlio Fouth.

ident fi.llow Dutler's plan, aud you will never hear
ol Ku Klus egiiio.
This is tho example held up to the
Radical President, Just armed with a
now instrument of despotism, the so
i,l-'d Ku Klux law. It
wn devised
by Butler; rejected by
tho House ;
l'"'n I'asscd on a recommendation
in a special message from President
Grunt, who thus got it through by
making il a parly mca-nro. The par
ticular net which Phillips cites for an
example, was the ono exploit of But
ler. It was a murder committed for
"Buncombe" a human life taken to
mttko political, or, rather, personal
capital
tor a por.iciuii. But il was
I lile all hisscurvy iritks for popularity,
'"ilure; though Butler employed tin
aiiio editor to wr.lo a book about it.
From Mr. Purton's "General nut lor

Having no troops ho left no guard

"Without leaving a guard to protect it,

though we greatly doubt it; but bor
presence, there will make more clear
to all the barbarism of hanging the
need of some ptinishmPrvHor murdur
that does not muko the chances in fa- '

mous. Tho lesson from the career of ihisv
wnuiun cannot be emphasized by r.in
ulo details of her crimes, hence the
full record of the trial has found no
place in our columns. Her life, how
ever, is loo strongty suggestivo to be
passed without a glance. Sho was
born in Alabama, and, through pnver
ty and neglect, reached womanhood!
without knowing the wholesome at.
motphero of homo The family re
moved to New Orleans when Laura
was sixteen, and here tbe girl resolved
to ciler llie world under new circum
stances. Bright in mind and exceed
ingly comely in person, she soon found
full investment fnr her capitnl. She
caught a rich husband. She wns
eighteen nnd he was eighty. Ilia
senile jeulouy drove her to the reme
dy of divorco; but while Ihe acli m
was ponding the dotard died in deli
rium tremens, and tbe adventuress
found herself the mistress of an ample
fortune. Sho married within a month,
and in les than three was tho widow
of a suicide. With tho semblances of
leeent sorrow fresh upon her, she .
took another husband, Col Fair, and1
the fortune oflho first running low,
sho emigrated with Ihis nne to Virgi
nia Cily, Nevada, where she set up a
hostelry, styled the "Fair House."
The amiable Colonel made way for
sonio ono else by blowing his brains

however, which do not show to full

her fust appearance as Lady Teazle
was also Iter last. One conquest she
mado wns Ihe final cause of I lie, pre- -cut
scandal, She captivated tlio sue
contible heart of A. P. Crittenden, an
ex-Judge und an eminent lawyer.
Practicing all the arts of a imitcbles
cunning, sho lured him from wife ami
home, riddling him meantime of alt
sho could get. With his mono-, she
pensioned her mother eomloi tnbly
and re-established herself in the Fair
Ilotio in Virginia City. While slilt
intriguing with Crittenden she met
some ono el possessed of money and
made herself his wito. Without ulen
tily or apparent purpose, this lourlh
