Lancaster 3lntelligencel. WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1871 DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, GEN. WILLIAM McCANDLESS, OF POILADELPELIA FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, CAPTAIN JAMES H. COOPER, OF LAWRENCE COUNTY A FULL POLL OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE WILL SECURE THE ELECTION OF OUR STATE TICKET BY A LARGE MAJORITY. • LET EVERY DEMOCRAT REMEMBER THAT, AND IM NOSS THE TRUTH OF 1T UMN THE MINDS OF 111 S NEWHBOILS. The Fourth or July The present Fourth comes to . the American people under favorable aus• pices. The most abundant harvest known for years stands thickly shocked upon the fertile fields, waiting to be gathered into the open garners of the fortunate farmer. Our country is at peace with all the nations of the earth. The animosities engendered by our civil war are fast dying out, and those who would keep open Its ghastly wounds for political effect will soon be repudiated by a generous people. The 111)6 which have divided the North from the l-4outh are being rapiply ob literated, and the complete brother hood of the people of all sections of our country is freely recognized. What is needed to perfect our great ness as anation and to restore our former prosperity as a people is a proper dis crimination in selecting those who are to make and to administer our laws.— When each American citizen shall have become wise enough to determineevery political question properly for himself, tindpatrioticenough to vote as his better Judgment may dictate, a political mil lenium will Int% c dawned upon our country ; and We shall have such a cele bration of Independence Day as even the fathers of the Republic never dream ed of. The Candidates I'or koldlers and Work The soldiers tind the scorkingtnen of Pennsylvania cannot fail to swim LI dis tinction between the candid:it, s of the two political parties at the rsnnii sStift election in l'ennsylvani.i. The ItUPtibilVan tor lleneral is a man who ne,..r had any connection with or sympathy' for the tolling masses. I Ming into the army as a country doctor he Was sc un cloVahal io the lucrative position of Medi:al Direc tor, not ou account of any superior Ill ness, but because he happened to he a relative of the Secretary of War, E. M. Stanton. lie had an easy time serving his country, got big pay, hat never smell, powder or re ceived a wound, lie was nominated simply because the corrupt Treasury. Ring wanted a willing tool in the Au ditor-IleneraPs office. Quay looked over flie list of Simon Cameron's satel lites and picked upon 1)1.. Stanton. The order Was issued h. those Who set up delegates in the ii Irerell I counties, and the nominating of the Ring WaS lied in ad Valov of the nosi ing of the Convention. The Democratic candidate for,k udi tor t letteral is one of the most skillful me chanics in the State. \\,' hen he work ed usu. machinist he ackbowledged no superior in his husines. \Vlien he studied law he displayed the Sante ener gy which distinguished him when lie wielded the hammer. \\lien the war came, he entered the army not to seek for an easy berth, but to light with all his might as he haul labored at the !wind' and the forge. In all the glor ious roll of the gallant Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, there is no name which shines brighter titan that. of I;eneral illiam McCandless. The soldiers and the workingmen of Pennsylvania must be alike attracted by the antecedents of the Democratic candidate for Auditor-I eneral. They cannot conscientiously vote for the crea ture cdf the corrupt Treasury Ring. The Radical candidate for Surveym leneral saw some service in th army as a commander of negro troops, but \V . ;(3 have looked in vain through Bates' History and the files of Republican newspapers for any record which can commend liim to the white soldiers of Pennsylvania. When he re turned from the army lie at once enter ed political life as a recognized tool of Simon Cameron. After being de feated as a candidate for the Common Council of Philadelphia his political master• had him made a sub-postmaster.

The legislative nominations made by the Denmercey rhibumphiaart , such us do credit to the party. The nominee for State Senator In the Screed District Is John G. James, well lcuow•u RS the head ()I' the old and wealthy dry goods firm ()Names, Kent, Santee Co. Mr. .tunes Is It 111:1111/1 line aLililies, Or t h e most uuhu uishc l 1101111 r, :Ind, lu all re t• sperls for above the tuts of those who have disgraced the Legislature of Penn sylvania. His opponent Is Ellsha \V. Davis, well-known in corrupt circles at Harrisburg as "Lish Davis." Ile was denounced as perfectly corrupt by newspapers of his own party when he occupied a seat In the lower House, and the respectable people of Philadelphia ought to combine, without respect to party in an etilurt to defeat him. , We regret to learn that Mr. James has declined the nomination.— He is such a man as ought to be elected. The Democratic nominee for State Sen ator in the Fourth District is General J. William Hofmann a gentleman of high character for ability and integrity, and a man who served his country faith fully during the war. His opponent is George Connell, who has a reputation very similar to that of " Lish" Davis. The Democracy of Philadelphia gave an earnest of their sincere desire for legislative reform in the nomination of such men as James and Hofmann. The Democratic nominations for the Lower House of the State Legislature made are declared by the Ape to be an improvement upon those of former years. They represent all classes of the community and were chosen in a fair, open and legitimate manlier. T 1 I t; property-holders of Washington City held a large meeting on Thursday night, for the purpose of protesting against the gigantic •scheme of robbery which has been concocted by the Legis lative Council. The project appropri ates nearly five million dollars in ouch a way as to give the best possible chance for plundering the City Treasury. Two thirds of the property of the district was represented In the meeting, but it is not known whether the protest of the tax payers will be heeded by the gang of harpies who are anxiously waiting to seize upon their prey. Wherever the Radicals have control extravagance and corruption prevail. THE LANCASTER WEEKLY . INTELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, JULY . 5, 1871. Why Boots and Shoes are Dear Everybody must have shoes in their country, shoes made of leather accord ing to modern style. The old Romans no doubt got along well enough with their sandals and the French peasants manage to stump about on their wooden sa bots, but Americans must have good substantial leather shoes, and cannot do with less than two or three pairs a year. Shoes were once reasonably cheap in the United States, but, for some years past, men's fine boots have ranged in price all the way from eight to eighteen dollars, according to quality and finish, awhile women's shoes and gaiters com mand from two and-a-half to seven dollars, and children's shoes are corres pondingly high. These charges, com pared with those which prevailed be fore 1860 are more than double. As an excuse for these extravagant prices, It was at first said that the war had destroyed so many cattle and wast ed so many hides, that the market was bare of the material of which to make leather, and, as skins cannot be grown it a season, a series of years were neces 'ary to stock the market with a supply A hides. But the war has been over ong enough for the tenderest calf to lave become a grandmother, and still boots and shoes are held at exhorbitant ly high prices. Everybody grumbles, and, if a vote were to be taken the pop ular verdict would he that the knights nC Saint Crispin are an arrant set of knaves. The shoemakers seem to have become restive, at last under the burth en of popularodium which they are coin- idled to endure, and leading men among hem have undertaken to set public pin ion right. Three hundred and iglity-four manufacturers of boots and hoes in New England, where such ar ides are most extensively made, have cited in a temperate but vigorous pro- test against the crushing burthen of 'taxation to which that industry has been subjected by the tariffs which have been created by u Radical Congress. The document, sets forth that the com bined taxes upon the articles forming the materials of the boot and shoe in dustry, yield the Government a revenue of only $3,500,000, while they impose upon the manufacturers a tax of 518,000,- 111)11 - ail amount to be eventually paid from the pockets of the consu•ners. The tax upon leather Is 35 per cent. to begin with ; the duties on the cotton and silk rubber webbing used in the man ufac lure of shoes, are 35 and 50 per cent., respectively ; the duties isn lastings and serges are :S5 per cent. I n addition to iese direct, taxes the protest enumer es others, that follow Indirectly, a. le increased cost of buildings, engines machinery, tools, and supplies; these, with enhanced house-rents, prices of Mel, food, and clothing, render high %•ages n necessity to workmen—yet showing that the enhanced cost of liv ing leltVl,l that workingman no better .oll'at the end. These facts are present- as demonstrable, and if so, are vital and they cannot be put aside with a pish. Asa consequence of this state or atlairs, it is claimed the American man ufacturers are prevented front com peting with those of other countries. 'though of late years there has been an increase of '25 per cent. in the productive power of a given amount of capital and labor engaged in the manufacture, through improved machinery and new processes, the legitlmate result of cheap er products has Veil nullified by coun tervailing taxes. This tax.,tion has not only injured the home trade, but has driven American products from markets that they have enjoyed for upward of a century, and has transferred their man ufacture to a great degree to Canada, where greater advantages are offered and fewer impediments ex ist. do fur as these high taxes of materials are con cerned, the protest affirms that in re gard to most of them, America has long ago enjoyed such advantages that they need now no fostering. A tax of S.) per emit. upon Castings four years ago has in that time only stimulated two estab lishments to engage in their manufac ture, and the quality of their products is of too inferior a character to super sede the imported goods. Let the shoemaker no longer be called :Lti extortionist. Let every man and every woman who is charged twice as noel' for a pair of shoes as they ougl o cost, remember that the money Whir le or she is compelled to . pay is take m a in his or her purse by rascally an -considered tariff. Dear shoes are legacy of the war, but one of the curses itailed by the crude and ignorant legis t ion of Radical Congresses. Let every uui who wants cheap shoes for him- self, for his wife 31111 for his children vole the Democratic ticket at all future elections. By so doing they and those of their household shall be comfortably 31111 cheaply shod. The Becks County Railroad. Tlie Lllsiness men of Reading are wide awake to their own interests. A day or two ago they subscribed all the stock necessary to insure the immediate coin meneement and the early completion of the Merle County Railroad, which is to •onnect the City of Reading with the Lehigh N'alley Railroad. This will give the merchants of that city a competing line with the nist Pennsylvania Rail road to New York City ; and will 1'1111i:ill IL competing line In the coal trade by which the manufac- LUNA'S of Reading will profit in the way a lower freights. Any attempt on the part of existing mauls to buy tip a controlling amount of the stud( of this new road will be sternly resisted. 'l•he people of our neighboring city have learned from experience the truth of the proverb that " competition Is the life of trade." They do not intend to be made the victims of a gigantic rail road monopoly any longer. The people of Lancaster might learn as useful lesson from the 1111/I'o energetic population of Reading. Let them open up new routes of travel and transit by means of nar row-gauge railroads, and they will soon reap the benefits which are sure to ac crue (nun properly directed enterprises. ; O.INT spent a day in Washington trying to catch up the "raveled threads" of tin, administration, and then made haste to get back to Long Branch for the races and other Jollities. He has direct ed Attorney-General Ackerman to de fine the duties belonging to the respective ollices held by Boutwell and Pleasanton, and has informed the antagonistic oil cials that he will expect them to square their conduct to the rules laid down. If Ackerman should not show a clearer head in this than he has exhibited in other matters, the quarrel will only be aggravated, and I trant may be compelled to endure the fatigue of another trip to Washington, a city in which Democratic Presidents found it possible to live the year round. (ii onuFrrows College held its fifty fourth annual Commencement on Thursday. lieu. Sherman made a brief address, in the course of which he said that the attempt to divide the Union would always fail, and ho would as soon expect to see all attempt to dissolve it in the future come from the North as from the South. General Sherman, like a true sol dier, trusts the people of the South, ant takes occasion to express his confident!. in their patriotism whenever au oppor tunity offers. IN its first issue after the adjournment of the Democratic State Convention the Ilrest (Mato. Affersonian said : "You will find all such true Democrats as Jeremiah S. Black opposed to this false departure." It has now before it the views of Judge Black in his own words. What has it to say to the position he voluntarily took mouths before the Con vention met? WE publish elsewhere the platform of the California Democracy. It Is fully as advanced as that of Pennsylvania. How False Testimony against the South Is Manufactured. Ever since the contest upon the sub ject of slavery began in this country, a large business has been done in the manufacture of false testimony against the people of the South. Before the war the most improbable lies in relation to the manner in which slaves were treated by their masters, were invented and industriously circulated, by pamph let and in the columns of certain Northern newspapers. During the war correspondents of sensational newspa pers drew largely upon their imagina tions for material calculated to Eire the Northern heart and to make their papers sell. Since the war ended, misrepre sentations of the temper and 3onduct of the Southern people have been the chief reliance of the Republican party. Upon that the organization has relied in every political campaign. The true issues before the country have been constantly shirked, and the minds of the masses have been excited by the most terrible stories in relation to the doings of that mysterious association, the Ku-Klux- Klan. Congress has spent immense sums of money in getting up volumes of evi dence against the people of the South, and any rascal who was ready to swear to a horrible lie was welcomed by Radi cal investigating committees and well paid for making a trip to Washington and perjuring himself when there.— There has been 80 much of that sort of thing exposed that the people have lost all confidence in the work of these cost ly committees. The latest instance of bold and barefaced perjury is that of the creature who recently testified as to the condition of stairs in Alabama under the title of " Reverend " A. S. Lakin. Thls reprobate produced a " diary " in which he professed to have [mule a record of events as they transpired from day to day, and with this to refresh his memory he preceded to testify that lie has visited the houses of many promi nent Democrats of Alabama, by whom he represented himself to have been hospitably'entertained, and from whom he learned, in confidence of course, that they intended to murder or drive out of the State every carpet-bagger. When the "Reverend " reprobate had deliver ed his testimony lie was subjected to a cross examination by a Democratic member of the committee. The "diary" was found to be written throughout with ink of one kind, and he confessed that it was " u copy." When called upon to give the names of the " numerous lead ing Democrats" to whom he referred he could not mention it singly one. The examination was interrupted, tool the witness given a night In which to re fresh his memory and collect his scat tered faculties; but he utterly failed to recall the MUM' Of to single one of the many persons with whom lie had asso ciated on such intimate terms. The truth is he had told a batch of lies front beginning to end, and he knew he would be inevitably detected and ex posed if lie pretended to give a single name. It is ,ncli scoundrels as this fel low, w•iho slander and persecute eight millions oh peavaltly disposed people.— 'they "stead the livery or Heaven to serve the Devil ill," :mil the best evi deuce that there are no organized lin k-Aux in Alabama is the lac( that such venni as Lakin are left to live and ti Preachers In Politics The Rev..l. I'. :Newman, the earnes brother who made a pilgrimage to l'tal for the purpose of bearding the slur non prophet in his den, is very bus) just now trying to re-elect Senator liar lan. The Dubuque licrald publishe. the following letter front the ieverem gentleman : . . [l'nnti.kfl Lixl.l WASH N ' tlTc)N, D. C., . . Ikar Bruth, :—As a ,natural friend, drop you a few earnest words in behalf o Senator Harlan's re-eleetion to the tinitot States Senate. You know the importune. . . . of early and earliest action. The members elected to the next Legislature elect the next Senator. It is, therefore, necessary that the right men he nominated, and hence attention must be given to the pri mary meetings. I am glad to say to you that Senator Har lan is regular in his attendance on churen, and hie influence is in the right direction. I know personally that he stands high with the Administration, and has influence with the President, and is held in high es teem by his fellow-Senators. His speech On Sall Domingo has given hint all eleva thin low Senators enjoy. I loping that yot will in all suitable ways interest yoursel for Mr. Harlan, I aut , trulyy (sirs, J. P. N Ew3lA N. l/W i it is well known that Mr. liar lan, when first elected to Congress a few years ago, was poor. He has been in Congress ever since, and whatever he Is now worth has been wade by those tricks which are dark, so well under stood by initiated Radical He has been in every corrupt job that has been put up at Washington within the last tell years, and lie is now itn- menselylvealthy. Ile has been cliarged with being a leading corruptionist by the newspapers of nis own party, and the accusation has never been refuted. Such is the man whom the Reverend Newman so ardently champions, and for whom he wants the Methodists of lowa to work. Mr. Newman is pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, In 'Washington, and tie person to whom he writes Is a prominent, Methodist clergyman in Dubuque. It is very evi dent that ltmther Newman does nut look upon lobbying and Jobbery as On ()Iroise against good morals. It would be highly gratifying to know that Senator I farlan Is a regular atten dant upon the ministry, if there wero not such abundant reasons to ladievo that he only makes a cloak of religion to cover up some of his rascalities. 'Thin method of engineeringtm election which has been adopted by the Rev. Mr. New man, is one which ought to meet with universal condemnation. It will be a sad day for the country anti a sadder day for the churches, when the (Hirer mit religious ttenominallons hand to gether in support of ollice-seekers, who may profess to support [heir creeds.— The result would he it crop of political hypocrite, more vorrupt. and more dan gerous than the warm classes 111,W figur ing In public ninths. I,et polities be kept out of religious circles. Neither the church nor the country can escape detriment from such a cormul??gling of discordant elements. Grant and Cameron Simon Cameron is In dead earnest about the Vice Presidency. His organ at Harrisburg says: With Now York almost hopelessly Demo cratic, and nearly all the Southern States under the control of the Ku-Klux Demo cracy, it is vitally necessary that Pennsyl vania should be given every inducement to throw into the con test herwhole strength. And 00 one of her many eminent sons is in every way so well-qualified to call forth the Ilea: ty support of a great majority of her citizens as her veteran statesman General Simon Cameron. We thank Maryland for taking the lead in this mat ter. We are glad to see the worth of our venerable Senator recognized and appre ciated abroad as well at home. Let Grunt and Cameron be nominated, and; we ♦en ' tura to predict that Pennsylvania will give a RepublLan majority of at least thirty thousand. We must confess that Grant and Cam eron would make a representative Rad ical ticket, but the honest people of Pennsylvania would have something to say in reference to its election. And, then, there are the Curtin itepublicans, who are stubborn, if they are not all honest. THE Customs receipts for the fiscal year ending on Friday were $204,437,991, un increase of $13,152,138 over the re ceipts of the previous fiscal year. Dur ing the six months of the present year, from January Ist to June 30th, the Cus toms receipts, under a reduced tariff, were $5,808,135 larger than during the corresponding period of last year. THE total Internal Revenue receipts of the tlscaliyear ending June 80th, were $144,989,283—a decrease of $40,206,584, compared with the receipts of the pre vious fiscal year, and $10,000,000 less than the estimate of Commissioner De lano. The estimate of the fiscal year commencing July Ist is $120,000,000. Sound Advice. The Philadelphia Age had a temper ate and well-considered article on "The Attitude of the Democracy," in a recent issue. It first referred to the position taken by leading Republican politicians immediately after the New Hampshire election, when the San Domingo Job and other pet schemes of the adminis tration were summarily abandoned and a return made to the old cries about the disloyalty and the revolutionary charac ter of the Democratic party. The Age thinks this Radical "New Departure" has been very properly met by the De mocracy in all parts of the United States, by what the Radicals are pleased to style a new departure of the Democratic party. This title the Aye rejects as in appropriate, and declares that the ac- tion taken in recent Democratic State Conventions in reference to the Consti tutional amendments is no new thing. In the language employed by our co temporary, "it consists of a formal and authoritative denial that there is any pur pose to resist the promulgated amend ments by revolutionary violence." The Age continues to comment thus : That this attitude of the Democracy is natural, sincere and just, no holiest man denies. Very few deny that an authorita tive expression of it is now pertinent and appropriate. The fact is noted that there is a differ ence of opinion as to the manner in which the purpose of the Democratic party should be expressed, but mere verbal variances are regarded as unim portant. It is necessary to interpolate something that is not contained in ally of the resolutions passed by Democratic Conventions recently held, in order that any ground for exception may not be found. This the lyc very properly re bukes a Democratic newspaper in this State for doing, and it concludes the article to which we refer as follows: Fair and manly discussion of 1.110 sub ject is eminently Democratic—misrepre sentation of the matter is certainly not Democratic. Nor in verbal quibbling about the more form now worth consideration.— Among the infinite variety of possible forms, the Convention that passes resol Elwin, intuit decide. When they are found to utter what is, in substance, the accepted policy of the Democratic party in every part of the Union, the interenthig question of phraseology uwy be left to the debating societies, or to the social circle. We have met many good Democrats Who have their own preference as to tbrmulas. We hope never to see the day when there shall not bathe largest freedom In the Democratic party on such questions. Time will WWII develop the Huai there is in the matter.— I Those who are using it as a cloak, under I which to help the Radical ticket, will noon be seen in their true colors by the lutelli gent Democracy or Pennsylvania. The men who are so reluctant to acquiesce in the stato of things which everybody known does exist, and hir which violent and revo- , Infi m rmary eans are no remedy, have neith er logic nor good faith when they propose to join the Radical party that brought about that state of things, and glories in it. - Such would-ho leathers, in resisting the formal ttllli regular, and almost univer sal action cut the Democratic party, will find no follower.+ to go over with them to the camp .tt the emitny. The Demo (-ratio press of Pennsylvania is nearly a unit on the subject, in all its practical as pects, and MO will 11w Democratic party lie to its action.

Constitution which said : Fugitives front labor shall be deliv ered up on ,briar of the party to \\ Mont such labor :nay be due. This had nothing in it to enlist the sympathy Northern men of either party ; but the Democracy respected it as the existing law, while Radicals re sisted it with mob violence and unconstitu tional State enactments. The Democratic attitude is the saline now its it has always .. • . . • been, and as it way always properly :old truthfully declare: An attitude of obedi ence to the law, while it is the law, with he right to make every change that pope ar intelligence shall demand, through the tuArtunentalities provided by the Consti talon. Tux C01(1111bill. A'py reports that a can didate for County Commissioner is now canvassing that section of the county with "a double team of spanking bays." The style in which the would-be candi date is moving, and the amount of money he is spending, to secure the nomination, for an office which is not supposed to pay very well, leads the Spy to conjecture that there must be "secret fees or perquisites which do not appear in the reports." "For instance," says our Radic.d cotemporary, " When a bridge is to be contracted for, it would not be a difficult or a disagreeable thing for the contractor to slip the Commis sioner a bonus for giving him the con tract, or per centage might be allowed on a printer's bill or on materials pur chased, as was done in the Methodist Book concern. \V hen men are deter mined to have their own and a little more, all that is wanted is the opportun ity. Lancaster county is large ; the tax-payers are rich turd numerous, and the larceny of a dollar from each would make a big sum total without any one feeling it severely." l'he Spy is not the only Radical paper in the county which has hinted at frauds in tie Com missioners' Office. Men not strictly honest could easily pocket large sums of money annually, while acting in the capacity of Commissioner in this large and wealthy county. The pet ple ought to see to it that none but men of the greatest Integrity are elected to that Ake. Let the tax-payers hr the RP publican party refuse to nominate any mama who IS not fur above suspicion. 'flit.: West Chester Itib rrionian has persistently endeavored to make It ap pear that. the Ninth Resolution was forced upon the fVee t Convention by half-a-dozen politicians whom it names. That must, sound like a very silly story to any one conversant with the facts. The Committee on Resolutions, to whom till resolutions relating to platform were referred without, debate, was composed of thirty-three members, and each one of these members was selected by the delegates from his own Senatorial dis trict. To huvu pocked such a Commit tee would have been an and it Is not necessary to say that noth ing of the kind was attempted. As a general thing the delegates from I he dif ferent Senatorial districts selected their ablest and mast experienced men to rep resent them In the Committee on Remo-. lutions. The result was that the Ninth Resolution was adopted, after full dis cussion in the Committee, by a vote of 2.1 ayes to 8 nays, one member being ab sent, or not voting. What becomes of the silly charge of the Jrfferdoni«n der these circumstances? Bigamy Bowen Pardoned President Grant has made Indecent haste to pardon Bigamy Bowen. The reprobate hail no other claims upon ex ecutive clemencyexcept such ns are based upon the fact that lie is prominent as a Radical politician in South Carolina.— He has been a most disreputable rind despicable creature all his life. One of the three women to whom lie was mar ried was a notorious courtesan, and he married her with a full understanding of her character. No one of the men who preceded Orant in the Presidency would have interfered to shield such a wretch as Bowen from the punishment lie so richly deserves. Bowen claims a seat in Congress. The sitting ',member is a negro. We shall see what will be the decision of the Radical majority of the House in reference to the matter. THERE is a first-class row now going on among the Alabama Radicals. Grant has just turned one Dr. Miller out of the Mobile Custom House, and appointed ex-Senator Warner. A large delega tion of Miller's friends came to Wash ington to see Grant about it, but he had returned to Long Branch. They de clare that Grant promised most post- Lively that Miller should not be dis turbed. The feeling against the Presi dent is very bitter, and the Republican party in Alabama is torn by dissension and on the verge of dissolution. THE public debt statement for July Ist shows a total, less cash in the Treasury, of $2,292,030,834, a decrease of $7,103,849 since June Ist.

Editors :—L have been unable to write for some time past, owing to the con dition of my nervous system, which re quired and positively demanded rest. My previous letter closed with an allusion to General Butler, and just after mailing It I took to thinking over the basting which William M. Evarts administered to the no torious Ben, in the famous impeachment trial, when be spoke of that skillful Gen eral'e achievement with the powder-boat at Fort Fisher, and of his argument of concussion during the trial; and I fell into such a fit of laughter as to unfit me entirely for work or correspondence. Ido not assert positively that the laughter did the whole mischief; perhaps Ben's concussion moves in cycles, and my nervous system happen ed to be in the way when one of these came along. It would be worth a mint of money to the fruit-growers of the 'United :States, if they could persuade the General to 'go one eye on the curculio. If that wouldn't destroy the dreaded insect and make plums plenty, there is nothing in this world that would. I must ask the attention of your readers to one more feature of interest in Buenos Ayres, and that is the wholesale sheep-skin business, which is carried on so extensive ly there. Just before leaving we visited one slaughtering-pen on the outskirts, where they were killing sheep by thehun dreds, just for their skins. We remained but half an hour, and during that time 250 were killed, hung up by the sinews of their hind legs, and stripped of their hides. After this process has ended the whole carcasses of good superior mutton and viscera are carted to a vat or kiln, or rather to a spot where there are a dozen or more of them under one roof. These kilns are 15 feet high and round, and within they are fin ished with shelving, under which is a place for tire. Hero the sheep aro packed close together 0 y o u the abet vesdeaving just room enough for the heated air to reach them.— When all the shelves from fluor to ceiling are tilled, a tire is made and continued for a day and then allowed to die out. Then the vat is tapped and the grease and juice extracted and placed in barrels for export trade. In another day they enter the vat and remove the shrunken flesh and bones to a neighboring furnace, where they are a for fuel. wring the killing month, or front Au gust to December, 50,000 sheep are thus dealt with every week In the City of Ituenos Ayres.

Dear Intelligeneer : I was Just in the act of breaking the shell of my third egg at breakfast, the other morning, when an idea struck me -a rare occurrence—and looking across the table at Mrs. Bugg, I said : "My dear, I think of trying Cape May." Mrs. B. looked worried, but replied in her sweetest tones, "Now Carpet, it occurs to me that you had better stay at home,and, minding your own business, help tno to take care of the baby," "Madam," said I, "when you married me you linked your fortunes to one who can trace his ancestry, without a missing link, back to and beyond the reign of Wil liam the Conqueror, and in all that time it was never known of any member of our family that he devoted much time to mind ing his bwn business. On the contrary, the peculiar forte of our gifted family was to mind other people's business, and I am happy to say that recent occurrences fur nish conclusive evidence that the present generation of Beggs is In no whit behind its predecessors. Instance, ma'in, the case of those nasty Southerners. Unfitted by nature to master the subtleties of pecuniary problems, their affairs would have gone to the dogs, or perhaps a worse place, if it had not been for our far-reaching sagacity, and our generous readiness to help them spend that which war's relentless grasp had left untouched, or General Sheridan's be nevolent nature had left unburned. To be sure most pf this help has been ex- tended by a degenerate branch of our fam ily whose great head Pure-Rat-Tan liagg settled in Massachusetts, and became so mean that for the most trilling considera- lon he discounted the last letter of his name, and went for ever after by the name of Bag. Yes, my dear, ours is an aristo cratic name, and as the season has now ar rived when aristocratic names go abroad, I must, I will go to mingle with them at Cape May."

The old feud between theadherent.s of Cam eron and Curtin is breaking out like an eruption in various places. In Philadelphia, the ticket which was set up by a corrupt ring, is openly repudiat ed by a majority of the party journals.

At'sires from Admiral Rogers. - • --- Decisive Vielory for the Americans Six Forts Stormed and Captured LonnoN, June2S—Evening.—A despatch which has just been received from the British consul at'Shanghai announces that the United States forces under Admiral Rogers have gained a decisive victory over the Coreans. The attack was made on the 1 lth Inst., the point selected being the Corean strong hold on the island of King Hon. The marines landed in boats and imme diately afterwards opened fire on the fort. The Coreans wore in great strength and offered a most determined resistance to the marines as they advanced. Volley after volley was poured into the crowds defend ing the entrance to the citadel, and the Co roans unable to face the deadly lire drew back. The movement was instantly observed by the marines, who pressed on and suc ceeded in forcing an entrance. They wore met by a perfect shower of spears, bullets and other missiles, and throe of their num ber were killed, including one officer, and seven wounded. A desperate fight at close quarters on sued which resulted in the complete route of the Corcans with great slaughter. Upwards of 51K) were killed during the conflict. - - It is thought that this terrible lesson which has been given to the Coreans will have the salutary and beneficial effect for which it was intended, viz: to remove the obstacles and barriers which have been ob stinately placed in the way of the American and European nations by the natives of Corea and those of other countries situated adjacent, when the former in all peace and honor attempted to establish a commercial traffic between these countries and their own.

I met him on the cars yesterday morning—a tall, six font four young man, of about twenty-two years of age, and with a new mustache and soft brown eyes. In the course of a general conversation (and it has struck me ea somewhat singular that the people down South almost invari ably introduce this subject in speaking to strangers) the subject of the Ku-Klux was brought forward. I ventured to express some doubts as to there ever having been au organized band of Ku-Klux. My - soft-eyed companion smiled a fas cinating smile and said he thought I was mistaken. "In fact," said he, " I was once a Ku-Klux myself," and the soft eyes shot a gleam or two that seemed to indicate that he would very much enjoy being a Ku Klux again. Ile went On to say—" It WAN two years or so ago when I lived in Montgomery, Ala., that ton of us, all young men, organ ized a Ku-Klux-Klan. We organized to frighten the negroes and to have :wino fun. Doubtless you saw in the papers of that time long accounts of our mysterious do ings. We first thought of the organization to scare the negroes front the Loyal League meetings. There was a young medical student among our number who bail the skeleton of a man. We frightened more negroes with this skeleton than in any other way. Taking it out on the road to ward there there W. a large negro settle ment wee would attach a small, strong cord to it, and put it over a limn overhanging the road.

" I:hosts !" and " K K. ux !" And, sir, I tell you the negro that wouldn't holler' when that skeleton touch- ed him, wasn't in the neighborhood of Montgomery." And the soft eyes were losed in their owner's keen relish of the long-ago fright or the nogroes. " But Wil,ll . t there danger in your peon culiar way of fun-making?" "Just, sir, enough danger to make it en joyable. We were tired at several times, but none of us were ever hit The dark ies, you know, are very superstitious, and tir ing at us so orlon and never bringing down any game, they grew more snit more terri fied at the tall white apparitions that would suddenly confront them in the lark woods.
