Radical Extravagance In Municipal Af
The CRS( of Philadelphia has been so
districted that the Republicans have
been able to bold absolute control of the
City Councils for several years, and (lur
ing that time thu debt of the city has
been increased to au enormous extent.
On the 'first of January last the debt of
Philadelphia was over fifty millions of
dollars. Since that time it line increased
and it is still being swelled daily. The
rate of taxation is no heavy as to be op
pressively burthensoine. It takes fully
forty per cent. of the money raised
to pay the interest on the debt and the
interest will noon absorb more than
Ii fly_ per cent. of the taxes. We take
these facts and figures front the columns
of the Leaficr,a paper which is not given
to misrepresentation. Another feature
of Republican administration in Phila
delphia is the fact that warrants drawn
upon the City Treasury are not paid. La
borers, mechanics, school teachers, jury_
men, contractors, and all others who
trust the city are compelled either to
wait a weary time for their money or to
submit to a heavy shave at the hands of
noine greedy broker. This is not only
bard upon those who trust the city, but
it is a disgrace to the municipality. At
the beginning of the present year the
claims thus outstanding amounted to
1,1.10,830.61, and they have been con
stantly increasing ever since. Large
additions have been made to these dis
honored obligations a ithin the past six
months. Familiarity with financial
mismanagement under Radical mis
rule has blunted tho sensibilities of the
people of Philadelphia, but the weight
of the burthens laid upon the shoulders
of the taxpayers is becoming too griev
ous to be tome.
It is customary for the Republican
newspapers of Philadelphia to attempt
to shield their party friends from the
opprobrium which they so richly de
serve by pointing to the expenditures of
a Democratic administration iu New
York city. The comparison is certainly
a most unfortunate one for those who
make use of it. New York, with its
magnificent public improvements, has
something to show for the money which
has been expended, but poor Philadel
phia has almost nothing. Corrupt rings
have stolen and wasted a very large per
centage of the millions which have
been wrung from the taxpayers of the
plundered and debt-ridden quaker City.
Wherever the Radicals have control
of municipal governments extravagance
has been the order of the day. W Mains
port has just been released from their
clutches, after being plunged so deeply
into debt as to be practically it) a bank
rupt condition. A short term of Radical
rule in Lancaster has been sunicient to
make an enormous addition to the debt
of our city. All the money raised by
taxation has been squandered, large
stuns have been borrowed and the limit
set to borrowing has long ago been
~reached, temporary loans have been
made, and every conceivable device has
been resorted to for the purpose of fur
nishi ug supplies to an extravagant ad
ministration. But that the Democratic
minority in Common Colima/ have unit
ed with a few Republicans who have
sonic respect for obligations and sonic
ideas of eConomy, there is no tell
ing how much greater the addition
to the debt of this city might have
been. The debate ill the last meeting
of the Common Council showed a repre
hensible recklessness on the part of a
majority of the dominant party. With
great difficulty were they induced to al
low time to form any estimate of the
cost of certain proposed improvements,
or to determine whether the necessities
alleged to exist really constituted such
"an emergency" as would justify the
making of an extraordinary temporary
loan. But for the judicious opposition
of one or two members of his own party
in Common Council, our young and vig
orous Mayor would have forced through
his pet scheme expending from twenty
to fifty thousand dollars in the erection of
a palatial lock-up, in which sumptuous
quarters would have been provided for
'bummers and other disreputable char
acters. Jobs of all kinds have been pro
posed. Some of them have been defeat
ed, but many of them have been put
through. It is not likely that the peo
ple of-Lancaster will learn how much
he election of a Republican Mayor has
° tit them until a Democrat is chosen to
succeed him. That wilt no doubt be
done in October. and we shall then have
a complete overhauling of the accounts,
and a statement of the financial condi
tion Of this city which the people can
understand. It will tell a story of ex
travagance, as compared with Demo
cratic administrations, which will be
heeded in the future by the tax-payers
of Lancaster.
NEW YORK speculators have furnish
el Fabens with the large sum of money,
which Is necessary to continue the lease
of Simians Bay. Fabens could not raise
a thousand dollars In Wall street on his
own security. It Is the endorsement of
U. S. Grant, and his assurance that the
San, Domingo treaty will yet be put
threugh, that enabled Fabeus to secure
a ll: the money MI wanted. The San
Domingo Job is flat yet dead. Grant is
letting it sleep a while.
THE L_A.N . CASTER WEEKLY INTELLIG-ENCER, WEDNESDAY, JULY . 12. 1871.
General Sherman's Opinion.
General Sherman has in his composi-
tion the qualities of a plain, blunt, out
spoken man. He is noted for truthful
ness in the expression of his views, and
he is not biased or restrained by political
influence. He waged bitter and relent
less war against the people of the South
during the rebellion, and his march lo
the sea was marked by the ruthless
ravages of an unsparing conquerer.—
But, as soon as the rebel armies sur
rendered, he accepted that surrender in
good faith, and from the hour when he
arranged terms with General Johnston
to the present he has Insisted that the
people of the South were entitled to be
fully trusted. In his speech at New
Orleans he boldly avowed the belief
that the Ku-Klux-Klan had no exist
ence as a political organization. He
regards the investigation now going on
at Washington as nothing more than an
attempt to manufacture capital for the
Republican party, and, though a Re
publican himself, he' does not approve
of such measures. He has no fears that
the people of the South will ever prove
untrue to the pledges made by the lead
ers of their armies when they laid down
their arms. Having lived much in
the South before the war, and Lev
i Lig mingled freely with its people
-duce the bitter contest ended, he is
abundantly able to form a correct opin
ion, and his views come to us with the
sanction of authority. He is no seeking
political aspirant. He has but recently
declared that lie would not accept the
ni nation for President If it were ten-
erect to him. His present position at
he head of the United States army suits
him best, and he would not exchange it
for the highest civil office in the gift of
the American people. Hearing con
stantly from his subordinates in the
South he is better fitted than any man
in the country to form a correct opin
ion of the state of that section, and of the
opinions held by tho:e who control the
sentiments of the Southern people.
At (.4eorgetown College he made a
,rief address before the students, which
s calculated to explode the theories of
he Republican leaders. After noticing
he fact that the studen bi were from all
:alas of the country, sonic from Maine,
(one from A labaina, and some even
'min remote Mexieo—he said that " All
Americans, whether they came from
Alabama or Maine, must have at heart
the interests of the whole country,
which must never be divided." lie next
lode(' to the war with the South, add
with au einphasis , that gave more
taut ordinary signilleatiee . to the words,
would as soon expert to see an at
nip( lu dissoto• this Union in fano . ,
nnej - 101/1 thc North usfrom the South."
What have the Radicals to say to thi,
opinion of the Commanderof the Armies
thus boldly expressed. It explodes all
the falsehoods the Republican newspa
per press has been so industriously cir
culating, and knocks away the props
which bolster up the platform ;or the
party. The declaration of ti eneral Sher
man is true, and in its truthfulness lies
the potency of the blows he strikes at
the edifice of liesi which the Radicals
ye been so industriously building
The Temperance Men in the Field.
The Temperance Men of Lancaster
county have het etofore been looked
upon :is a bob to the political kite of the
Republican party; but, it appears that
they are now disposed to assert their in
dependence. On the 3rd of last June,
the Executive Committee of the Tem
perance Men of Lancaster, adopted the
following resolutions, which we find
published in the latest issue of the Key
:dune, T,mplat :
WnErcE,vi, Prohibition of the sale o
gums is a political measure that ran only

allot in the election of friends of such
ingsure to all Legislative or Executive
offices in the gift of the people ; therefore,
L'esol red, 'Phat this Committee, believ
ing that the time has arrived for politically
exemplifying our convictions of the im
morality and impropriety of the licensed
trade in liquors by endeavoring to till our
public °Oleos with friends of prohibition

many of them as to the Convention may
seen proper.
Pr:mired, That a sub-committee of seven
of whom M. Brosius, Esq., shall be chair-
man, be appointed to issue a call for such
Convention, in connection NviLli such other
Friends of Temperance as may join in such
call, and to make all needful arrangement,
for such convention and the purposes of
its assembling.
Remolvol, That said sub-committee be
authorized and directed respectfully to :id

The comtnittee as constituted is com

whom the call for a convention has
been formally issued :

Several of these individuals hay,
heretofore figured conspicuously at.
Radical politicians, and the conse
quenee is that there is considerable ex
vile:Hunt over their action among Bo
leaders of that party. Both the ECM?'
and the Loptircr have proceeded b

of the organization.
lectlng of the State Teachers' Assoc
The teachers of our Common Schools
have banded themselves together into
a regular Association, and a meeting
of the body will be held at Williams
port the tith, 9th and 10th of August.—
A varied programme of exercises has
been arranged for the occasion, awl the
hotels have reduced their fare for the oc
casion. It is estimated that there is
hotel room in the city for live hundred
guests, and accommodations will be pro
vided for as many more at private
houses. An excursion will be arranged
at cheap rates from Williamsport to Ni
agara. The chances are that the occa
sion will prove to be a most interesting
one. Prof. A. N. Raub, of Lock Haven,
is President of the Association.
The French Elections
The supplementary elections, which
were held in France on Sunday, to fill
some 117 vacancies in the Assembly,
have resulted, according to Versailles
ad v ices, favorably to the admit] istration.
It is claimed that of 114 heard from 80
or 90 moderate Republican deputies are
elected. The Monarchists seem to have
been beaten at nearly all points. Among
the Republicans reported elected are
Gambetta, Victor Hugo, Gen. Fuld herbe
and other prominent Republicans. So
the Republic seems to have to the extent
of the election a fresli endorsement from
the people, and a fair start on its peace
probation.
TILE Republican Congressional Com
mittee is busily engaged In distributing
electioneering documents. The mails
are burthened with copies of speeches
made in favor of the San Domingo job ;
and there is no doubt that the scheme
of annexation is to be keptalive so long
as Grant remains in office. He will
never abandon that promising specula
tion until he is turned out of the White
House.
GRANT'S colt 118 said to be improving
in health, and we are now informed by
telegraph that the President will not
visit Washington for some time to come.
The seat of government is deserted, not
a single Cabinet °nicer being in Wash
ington.
JUDGE WATTS has announced his de
termination to accept the position of
Commissioner of Agriculture, and it is
probable that there will•be a new man
chosen to preside over that very slow
railroad, the Cumberland Valley.
The San Domingo Job Not Dead
People who imagine that the San Do-
mingo Job is dead know nothing of
Grant and less than nothing of the gang
of greedy speculators by whom hale sur
rounded. , The Springfield Republican
says :
Mr. San Domingo Fabena, who has been
trying for some weeks past to raise money
by private subscription to pay the second
year's rent due from the United States for
the lease of the Samana Bay, and who fail
ed of getting much in Boston, has succeed
ed in raising the needful in New York.
He does this sort of business, we suppose,
with the sanction of President Grant, who
is very unwilling to give up his pet scheme
of annexation, and is nursing it along in
this undignified way till he can get it be
fore Congress again.
The President drew $150,000 in coin
out of the Treasury of the United States
to pay the first year's rent of Samana
Bay. This he did without any warrant
of law, taking the money from the Se
cret-ServiceiFund in the Department of
State. Grant expected that by taking
the money thus surreptitiously from the
Treasury he would be able to commit
the country irretrievably to his job and
to coerce Congress into a ratification of
his illegal act. Of the money thus
drawn from the Treasury only one-third
was paid over to the Dominican author
ities, the balance being pocketed by
Grant's partners in the project, who
proved to be doubly thieves, robbing
both the United States and San Do
mingo. A considerable portion of the
money never left Washington City.
The lease of Saniana Bay aL $150,1510 a
year was an audacious fraud, like every
other part of the annexation project.—
As a coal-station the examination of the
Commissioners showed it to be useless,
the water being so shallow as to render
coaling there a very expensive process.
A more accessible and vastly better coal
ing station is now rented at St. Thomas
by the Navy Department for $50,000 a
year. The ,failure of the San Domin
go treaty concluded the lease of
Santana, and the Slrayroll which were
unlawfully taken from the Treasury by
Grunt were irretrievably lost. 'the peo
ple would have been satisfied to close
out the job with a clean loss of that
amount awl the unestimated expense of
sending out the Commission, but Grant
is nut willing to abandon his pet project.
He has continued to keep two ships-of
war on the coast of San Domingo for
the express purpose of supporting the
miserable despotism of Baez at the
expense of the tax-payers of the
United States. And, now his tools
are " shinning it" round the cities
to raise money enough to pay another
year's rent, in order that the treaty with
Baez may be kept alive and an oppor-
tunity be given to force the job through
some future Congress. I)ous any one
suppose u dollar could be raised for such
a purpose unless it win understood that
the President was still barking up the
San Domingo July" Men are often
ready to risk their money iu desperate
enterprises, but they want some very
promising assurance that it will he re-
paid to them with large interest.
Grant has done all in his power since
Congress adjourned to secure an en
dorsement of his San Domingo Job from
the Republican party. In Ohio it was
his well-understood intention and de
sire to force the noinitnition of lieu.

he did actually secure the passage of
such a resolution. In the Pennsylvania
Convention he was lauded and renomi
nated, with the assurance that he could

emergency, and upon the Radical mem
bers in the House.
Those who suppose that Grant has
abandoned his San Domingo Jot), do
not understand him. Ile is distinguish
ed for pig-headed obstinacy. }le defies
the will of the people and expects the
whole Republicau party to bow their
heads iu the most abject submission to

want of honor and the most avaricious
spirit in the acceptance of every species
of presents. lie has voluntarily sur

unprincipled and mercenary political
adventurers. To them and to their chief

thing greatly to lie desired. Its annex

The money there is in it constitutes a
temptation which his sordid nature can
not be expected to resist.
Coal Production
The short time which has elapsed since
work was resumed in the anthracite
coal-regions of our State, has been suf
ficient to demonstrate that the troubles
have heretofore sprung front over-pro
duction, and to prove that steady em
employ meta at remunerative wages
cannot lie given to the large number 01
millers there collected. Last year the
•onsumptinn of anthracite coal wa.

the production fully equaled the de

Ind depressed prices, which the opera
tore will again attempt 1,, remedy by in
hieing the miners to strike.
There is abundant evidenee to shun•
hat the rate of production is increa
ing instead of diminishing. The large
operators have heretofore been able so
to manage affairs as to secure immense
profits, and new mines and new rail
road lines :ire being constantly opened.
The miners are a class not likely to
learn wisdom front experience, and they
may be expected to tied some imagi
nary or real reason for a strike when
the operators want to bull the market.
During the summer months the canals
furnish clieap—transportation, and the
railroads tire IlMn most successful

coal will gate low until frost comes
and liresj are needed, when, by some
device ot's,l he operators, the price
will be raised. All who can aftbrd to
do so should lay in their Winter sup-
ply of coal during the latter months of
Summer, or early in the Fall. By so
doing they will be sure to save money.
There has been an over production of
anthracite for sonie years past, but that
has not prevented a rise in prices at the
very time when the most numerous
class of consumers are forced to buy.
Tin•: artillery and the cavalry are the
two branches of the military service,
which are held out as the prizes of hon
orable ambition at West Point. The
graduates who attain the highest honors,
and whose record is consequently best,
professionally and morally, receive this
recognition of their merits. F. D.
Grant, son of the President, who grad
uated almost at the very foot of his
class, has been assigned to the cavalry
over the heads of deserving graduates,
who had won distinction by good con
duct and attainments, such as he never
exhibited. Nepotism is thus carried
into West Point, as it has been every
where else.
ULYSSES S. GRANT, of Long Branch,
New Jersey, will pay a brief visit to
Washington next week. One of the
colts which he received as a present is
sick in that city, and he is anxious to
see how the animal is getting on. He
does not go to Washington with any
idea of attending to public business.—
Office-seekers who may desire to see
him will do well to go to Long Branch,
where they will be cordially received if
they take acceptable presents.with them.
Centralization as an Issue in the Next
Presidential Campaign.
We find an elaborate editorial article
in the Chicago Tribune, the leading Re
publican organ of the Northwest, on
the subject of " The next Presidential
Campaign," in which the "new de
parture" is considered, and in which
the points upon which the opposition
are seeking to make au issue are also
examined. As to the " new departure,"
the Tribune regards it as placing the
two parties on the same platform as to
negro suffrage, negro citizenship and
negro equality, and is inclined to think
that if the Democracy (or opposition)
have no popular issues apart from this,
" the people will give their preference
to the party which has always occupied
that platform!" But, says the Tribune,
if they shall succeed in convincing a
limited number of Republicans that they
are sincere in their change of policy
toward the colored people, or that the
Constitutional amendments are so se
curely anchored that they cannot be
disturbed, and if they shall at the same
time advocate other principles which
appear to be preferable to those advo
cated by the Republican party it is
quite within the bounds of possibility
for them to carry the election. Three
tubers in each school district throughout
the elated States can change the
nority into the majority.
The Tribune thus sums up the issues
which have already been presented in
some of the Democratic State Con ven-
tions, anti which will probably be adopt
ed as the platform for the Presidential
caropaigu, as follows:
1. Opposition to Congressional interfer
ence in the local affairs of the States.
- -
2. Universal amnesty, as a complement
of universal suffrage.
3. Opposition to the annexation of San
Domingo.
4. Opposition to protective tariffs.
5. Payment of the public debt in green
backs.
Opposition to the National Banking
ystem.
The most significant comment of the
Tribune is that upon opposition to Con
gressional interference in the local af
fairs of the States. Taking the Ku-Klux
bill as the strongest advance of Radical
ism towards centralizat ion, it comments
upon at with a freedom no' often exhib
ited by Republican journal,. While it
appears to think that the bill itself will
not be enforced to any considerable ex
tent by the President, it regards the
principle,,ambprecedent as very danger
ous. Thb remarks of the Tribune. on
its point deserve to lie carefully noted.
hey are as follows:
It is the teiiih'iow of the hill, rather than
the bill itself, or the execution of it, which
gives force to the assaults of the Democracy.
This tendency is toward the obliteration of
',gates, and the centralization of all powers
at Washington, alter the French model of
government. The election law, paned to
enable the general goyernment to control
the machinery of Ulliversal suffrage in New
York City, but applicable to all cities of
more than 20,000 inhabitants, is another of
the signs or this te n dency .

Last winter a Local-Option Law was
presented for the tamsideration of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, and we took
occasion at tho time to point out some
of the most patent objections to such
legislation. The system is one which
has been tried in iSlassachusetts and
elsewhere in New England, but it has
not produced the results which were an
ticipated by its projectors and support
ers. Only last week elections were held
in Boston and other cities and towns of
Massachusetts, to determine whether
the sale of malt liquors should be al
lowed, anti the result showed either a
lamentable lack of strength on the part
of the Temperance men, or an inexcu
sable want of devotion to the cause. lit
Boston they did not poll Iwo thousand
votes. This shows that in Massachu
setts, as elsewhere, public opinion is not
favorable to the enforcement of prohibi
tory liquor laws ; anti it is better to have
no such laws than to have them stand
ing a death-feller on the statute books.

St set: the first day of June President
Grant has pissed three days in Wash
ington, and for that immense amount
of service he has drawn from the Treas
ury of the rnited States $2,1153.33, or
nearly $7OO for each day that he attend
ed to the duties of his office. The bal
ance of the time he has spent With Tom
Murphy, and other congenial and con
vivial spirits, at, Long Brunch and else
where.
ON Friday lust Boston voted in favor
of the sale of beer. This shows great
weakness of the protectionists in (me of
their strongholds. The vote stood 7,421
for malt liquors, and only 1,495 against.
The temperance men did not take the
trouble of going to the polls. This
shows the folly of local-option laws.—
They are either evaded or sutler defeat
at the polls.
Jr is rumored that there is serious
talk of running Hon. Thomas E. Frank
lin as the regular Republican candidate
for Judge, with George M. Kline, Esq.,
as a candidate for District Attorney.
That would constitute a ticket entirely
too respectable to suit the average Rad
ical politicians of Lancaster county;
therefore, we can not credit the report.
Tule Democratic members of the Ku-
Klux Committee will refute the slanders
and perjuries of such wretches as the
Rev. Lakin, by taking the testimony of
prominent and well-informed men from
the different Southern States. A num
ber of representative men from Georgia
have already been summoned.
IT is announced that Simon Cameron
will decline to run on the ticket with
Grant. If that be so, Simon has good
reason for such action. He may have
arrived at a proper appreciation of his
own merits, or he may regard Grant's
defeat as inevitable.
THE races at Long Branch continue
and the President of the United States
is in ecstacies. He declared to a friend
that he had not enjoyed anything so
much as he did the hurdle race, since
the day he rode the mule in the circus.
Bowen% Pardon
— We publish elsewhere the document
which has been given to the public, by
which President Grantpardons the big
amist Bowen, and in which he under
takes to assign reasons for this remark
able exhibition of Executive clemency.
The paper is bunglingly prepared, it
violates the rules of syntax and con
tains more than one untruth.
It is not true that Bowen was " inno
cent of any violation of law," or thet"he
acted in good faith believing his former
wife to be dead." On the contrary,
when on trial, he put in the plea that he
had been divorced, and he produced a
document to prove that allegation which
was shown to be a forgery. If General
Grantallowed himself to be cheated into
granting a pardon on the strength ofsuch
false representations, he
. has, to say the
least of it, shown an utter lack of such
care and circumspection in the dis
charge of his duties as should distin
guish a President of the United States.
But that excuse, poor as it is, can not
be pleaded in behalf of General Grant.
lie did not even need to read the record
of the trial to be convinced of the falsity
of the allegations contained in the par
don. The Mayor of New York had
officially notified the President of the
fraud and forgery which had been boldly
committed by Bowen in the course of
the trial, and bad requested him to de
lay the pardon of this despicable crea
ture until the method of this fraud and
forgery on the records of the Courts of
New York could be investigated. Of
this official request, made in the inter
est of law and good government, the
President declined to take any notice,
but he cannot deny that he received it,
and he cannot escape from the very dis
agreeable position in which he is placed
by a comparison of the facts with the
loose statements contained in the pub
lished pardon.
Again the President says of Bowen:
"It appears that he rendered good ser
vice to the cause of the Union during
the rebellion." What that "good ser
vice" consisted of it is very hard for any
to say who is conversant with the ca
reer of the pardoned criminal. He vol
untarily entered the rebel army, and
managed to get himself into prison fur
criminal practices. He was suspected
of having incited to the murder of his
commanding officer, and that may be
the "good service" to which Grant al
ludes. He had married three women,
all of whom are now living. With one
of them lie seems to have compromised,
and from the claims of the second he
attempted to escape by the production
of a forged certificate of a divorce which
was never granted. This case may have
in it elements strongly commending the
crintinal to the favor of President
Grant, but the people will fail to dis
cover asingle extenuatingcircumstanee.
The pardon of Bowen is just such a reck
less abuse of power as might be expect
ed from :rant. It never had its paral
lel ill this country, or anywhere else in
the civilized world. Even Geary's pa
don of Brill looks respectable when
compared with it. The pardon of such
a man, under such circumstances. is
against the public interests and all out
rago which cannot be too severely re
buked by every good citizen. It was
made in the interests of a set of 'desper
ate political adventurers, and at their
dictation. Bowen is contesting the
right of a negro to a scat in Congress,
and it is not unlikely that we may soon
see him, triple-crowned with marital
honors, welcomed to a seat on the Re
publican side of the use. There are
men there in whose eyes the worst
crimes are mere eccentricities of genius
when the perpetrator comes Hushed
with political victory, and bearing in
his hands the pardon of President
Ulysses S. rant.
The Debt of Philadelphia
The Philadelphia people all:, very

the thing out as follows :
The city debt, in round numbers, is to
clay fijimene dollarn. In Isal it was
less than nineteen million. Allowing eight
million Mr war expenses, and we have as at
result an annual increase of the debt for the
past ton years of tu•o minion four hundred
o,mo:um/ dal li ers. Divide these big figures
by 365, and we have a daily increase
amounting to about six thousand jive hoo
d; ed and fifty doltam Divide this by '2.1,
and we have for the hourly increase of the
public debt two hundred and seeenty three
&dim,. Divide this again by GO, and iy
will be seen that for every minute of y
hour of the last ten years our city debt has
been increasing at the rate or juur dnltars

Political Fiction Versus Positive Fact.
If the news communicated by Senator
Sherman (Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate), in his late speech at
the Ohio State Convention, were only reli
able it would bo a subject of national re
joicing. He says: "Under the present
tariff laws all departments' of mechanical
industry have sprung into healthy life,
diversitying our products, consuming our
farm products and extending our rail
roads."
Is this a correct statement of the condi
tion of the industries of the country? On
the contrary, is it not just the reverse?
Have not our importations of foreign fab
ric and merchandise increased enormous
ly in excess of our exports, choking up
the channels of consumption, to the great
damage of American manufacturers, drain
ing the country of its coin, transferring
our public bonds to Europe, thereby in
creasing this drain, and adding to the com
mercial balance against us to such an
extent that all our surplus products are
not sufficient to pay it? The exports of
our manufactories are less than they were
ten years ago, and though the export of
raw products has increased, it is at largely
diminished prices. So also has the propor
tion of articles of a common order of labor
increased, superseding, in the home mar
kets, goods which in critter times we held
the market for without fear of competition
from abroad.
Is it not notorious--and can the Senator
be so blind as nut to know it—that in most
of our leading industries there is great
stagnation? Our foreign ,oininerce is
almost totally destroyed. Shipbuilding is
likely to become one of the " lost arts" in
this country. The President, in his special
message to Congress on the subject, esti
mated the amount we have to pay to for
eign ships on this account at tkki,ooo,ooo a
year. • The loss of the shipbuilding cannot
be less than this sum ; making i',• , tio,ooo,lalo
a year diverted from American labor, and
front the consumption of home products.
Does not the Senator also know that a largo
nil other or the leading woolen mann lactur

Yesterday afternoon an unknown man
was found dead at the rootot a tree in the
woods un what is kill/WI, King's estate.
It's head and lace were disfigured with
clotted blood. A large hole was visible at
the right ear, through which the track of
a 'bullet was clearly perceptible, and the
face was blackened with dies and worms.
The right band or deceased rested on the
grass near a revolver, the barrels of which
had been discharged. The respectable ap
pearance of the dead man at once excited
suspicion regarding the manner it which
he had inlet with so sad an end. lie was
dark COM Alex ioned, had dark hair and
mustache (the hair being partul in the
middleo wore a black cloth vest and light
pants, and had his coat beside him. lle
was apparently a Clertnan, about
ofago.
The coroner was at mire
sent for, and he examined the deceased's
pockets, but failed to discover anything .
that Might. lead Id his identification, except
a white handkerchief, on which was im
printed the letters \V. 1). The body NVIIS
removed to Mr. Crane's °dice at Iloboken,
where it now lies. IL is difficult to tell
whether the unfortunate roan has been
foully murdered or has committed self de
struction. An investigation Will be com
menced to-day.
Where la the Champion Type-Sette
A Montreal paper of Tuesday last says:
" At a typo-setting match held. in Le Nou
veau Monde ollice, last Thursday evening,
between Alphonse Barrette and Alphonse
Mondon, the former set 2,038 ems and the
latter 1,044 ems in an hour. The measure,
type and copy were similar to those used
at the match held throughout Canada and
the United States on the 10th of May last.
The best done then was by George Arens
burg, of Philadelphia, who composed 1,822
ems, and received the championship prize
from the International Union. The two
young French Canadians above-mentioned
have now surpassed him, and have proved
their superior swiftness, so far,
over the
craft on this Continent. About fifty per
sons were present at the match referred to.
The proofs of the contestants wore remark
ably clean.
A Rand of Armed Negroes In koralh for.
°lota Attack n House In Revenge--
One White Nan Killed—Another Man
and Two Ladles Wounded.
From the Augusta (flu.) Chronicle, July 4.
On Sunday night the city was excited by
rumors of a serious collision between the
white people and the negroos in Barnwell
county, South Carolina. From the first
reports it appeared that a regular battle
had been fought. Fortunately, these re
ports proved to be gross exaggerations.
'rho best news, however,proved be terri
hie enough. Definite information received
yesterday morning from Silver Mull, on
the Savannah river, stated that a band of
armed negroes had killed one white man,
wounded another, shot one lady seriously
and another severely. After the shooting
took place they had retained their arms
and their position, and defied arrest. Be
yond these fragments nothing else was re
ceived until yesterday evening late, when
two participators arrived in Augusta—a
white man who had been shut, and a negro
who hail been with the band of shooters.
From what we can gather of the affair from
gentlemen of South Carolina and the color
ed Ku-Klux himself, the tragi.dy 5001115 to
have been enacted under the fellow ing cir
cumstances :
The diniculty took pinee at the house of
Mr. Angus lied, situated on !leach Island,
about twelve miles from Augusta. At a
late hour on last Saturday afternoon, n
large band of armful negro Mee were seen
approaching the house occupied by Mr.
'They were within a few feet of the
front door befere they were discovered.
The ladies in the house gave a scream of
terror, as if apprehensive of the bloody in
tentions of the black fiends. Mr. Thomas
A. Lew, n neighber, who was in the room,
and lying down near the front door, heard
the warning signal, and attempted to rise.
As he was in the not of rising, the negroes
tired a volley at 16111, killing loin al must
instantly. 'Hie muskets with whieh the
colored lie-I:1MS were armed, were loaded
with buckshot anti small halls, and the
missiles Were Sent in every tli recti,m.
Besides killing r. Low, they wenottltsi
Mr. lied in theshou Wei-, wounded his wife,
Mrs. M. A. L. Bed, in the nee k, and his
'nether, rs. S. E. lied, in the kite. The
negroes then entered the house, as Waugh
it was a fertress taken at the point of the
bayonet. '('butt they at first intended 1: ill

theall or the wounded. They returned te

Mr. Lew was retool riddled with bullets

over these troubles with General Grant;
but we fear I hey are too much for Senator

whereby a Custom -House treaty of peace
can be made is the way of the Joint tligh

Let this plan of arbitration bo adopted,
with a share of the spoils to Senator Fenton
and a sop to Mr. Greeley, and the country

Otherwise let General Grant prepare for a
scrub-race for the Presidential succession,
