FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1857,
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN REPO•
LUTIONS
That part of the American Continent which
lies south of our territories must be a plea
sant place to live in—for a man who has a
penchant for floundering in troubled wa.
tors. Nicaragua expects an invasion by Mr.
liftaantui's "blue-eyed man of destiny,"
General WALKER, and is getting up a quarrel
with Costa Rica, in which Oho last advises
tell us) Guatemala, San Salvador, and Hon
duras are expected to participate. . Costa
Rica is reported to ho on the verge of another
revolution—there being a design on hand to
violate the Constitution by electing Se:tier
MonA President for life, which will certainly
be opposed, probably with arms, by a few
patriots who dislike seeing their Republic
placed at the feet of an ambitious politician.
At Guatemala, an insurrection had broken out
last August, which was put down by the army,
after some days' hard fighting. Tho cauldron
is evidently seating there. In Peru revolu
tionary movements had been suppressed in
several places, but their renewal was expected,
as a matter of course. At Bolivia, the move
ment had assumed a more active form, for Dr.
LINARES, as 'Provisional President, had taken
the field against General CORDOVA, the elected
President, who, it wan believed, would have
to leave the country. In Venezuela, the hard
rule of General MoNwAs was inciting the
masses to revolt, and Chile has just been re
lieved from a threatened rebellion, only by
President MONTI having reluctantly complied
with the popular demand that ho should dis
miss his ministers. Mexico la probably on
the eve of a war with Spain.
In Short, about half the States in Central
and South America are in hot water—engaged
in civil war, or expecting to be. Brazil is
quiet, and thriving. Venezuela, New Granada,
Equador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Argen
tine Republic, are rather kept quiet by iron
rule than by national attachment to their re
spective Executives. Tho elements of dis
cord are abundant in these countries, in one or
other of which, every now and then, some
ambitious soldier aims at the Dictatorship—
sometimes with tho design at changing his
sword into a sceptre.
The contrast between the stability and pros
perity of our political condition, and that of
so many nations in the same part of the world,
is too marked not to be readily perceived and
thankfully acknowledged. This is mainly
owing to the honesty of purpose, the nega
tion of self, the feelings of patriotism, and the
reliance on a Higher Power than any of earth,
which united to frame that admirable Consti
tution, which confirmed, for the noblest,to pur
poses, the Independence which our forefathers
purchased by hard fighting, under difficulties
aria disadvantages of the most dangerous and
disheartening description. Of little worth,
however, would that have been, if the Wisdom
of these gallant patriots, equal to their Valor,
had not made such a glorious and permanent con
summation as the well-balanced and judiciously
framed Constitution under which we live, which
affords equal rights to all citizens, gives pro
tecfiOn to all strangers, and binds the Execu
tive and the People firmly together by ties
which it would be treason against Liberty to
sever or unloose.
VAILIFOIINIA4 CONGREAAMINAL CLAIM.
The San Francisco Herald has put out a
fwciblii statement in favor of giving California
a far greater Congressional representation than
the opulent State now enjoys, and greatly con
demns the neglect, by the local Executive, to
appoint marshals to take the census about two
years ago. The reason assigned at the time,
for this failure to comply with the plain re
quirements of the law, was the embarrassed
condition of the finances of the State, and the
inipolicy of incurring additional expense. But
the Herald hints . that the real reason of the
neglect to make provision for the taking cif the
census, was cc that a Senatorial election was
dote) at hand, and that an official report of the
population of each county and district in the
State would force a readjustment of the repro
sentative basis which, might very seriously in
terfere with political calculations."
The population of California is very con
siderable, with a great tendency to increase
by immigration, not only Nom all parts of tho
Union, but almost from all parts of the world.
The temptations and inducements to settle in
California are very great. Tho natural pro
ductions—mineral and agricultural—are most
abundant and rich, and the climate is one of
the fittest in the world. Towns are springing
up in that State, in various directions, attract
ing Increased population, and Order is being
established every where, under the Law.
Thu Herald thus sums up the question, and,
it must be confessed, makes out a very strong
Case:
ff If the census had been taken at the time
prescribed in the Constitution, we would have
official data upon which to base an, application
for a larger representation in Congress; and it
is possible that we would have no longer to com
plain of the fact that California is only allowed
two members of Congress, though at the
last Presidential election it polled 34,847 more
votes than Alabama, with its seven representa
tives-39,890 more than Connecticut, with its
four representatives-11,232 more than Georgia,
with its eight representatives-67,313 more
than Louisiana, with its four representatives
-3,439 more than Maine, with its six represen
tatives-23,3G8 more than Maryland, with its
six representatives--51,000 more than Missis
sippi, with its five representatives-3,533 more
than Missouri, with its seven representatives
-39,082 more than New Hampshire, with its
three representatives-10,812 more than New
Jersey, with its five representatives-25,089
more than North Carolina, with its eight repro.
imitative% and 69,573 more than Vermont,
with its three representatives.
"Pursuing the subject further, we find that
we are placed, in this respect, on an equality
with Arkansas, lowa, Texas, and Rhode Is
land, though at the last Presidential °loc
i tiou, our vote exceeded that of the first
! named State 77,497—0 f the second, 20409
fife third, 60,220, and the last, no less than
90,337.* The only States of which we have
a larger representation aro Florida and Del
aware,
and their united vote only roaches
25,695. It is evident, tkom the above stalls
' tics, that California, at the present time, is
entitled to seven representatives, at least,
in the Lower House of Congress ;Out though
our right to such representation cannot be
disputed, yet wo must wait till the comple
tion of the census which will he taken at
the expense of the General Government in
1860, for the recognition or concession of that
right."
In the fatness of time, no doubt, California
will receive ample justice. Meanwhile, Unmet
be confessed, her journalists very fully repre
sent her interests—for, whatever their little
quarrels, (which will occur " in the best regu
lated families,") they arc unanimous in assert
ing the claims of their opulent State to full
participation in every advantage, political or
commercial, enjoyed elsewhere. This is a
characteristic, and a good ono, of the Califor
nia press, and might be imitated, nearer home,
with credit and good effect.
The West whines received hero concerning
the progress and promise of the camel experiment
of the Government in lie military operations on
the frontier, continue to confirm the highest hopes
of its friends. From the day these entrants were
landed on the coast of Texas to this hour, the ex
periment hoe proved an eminently successful one;
until the experience bad with them as beasts of
burden has been such that all concerned in their
management and use aro unanimously of opinion
that they, suit, as boasts of burden, the require
ments of our great western plains, as well as those
of Asia and Africa.

COMMUNICATIONS.
THE TARIFF.-NO. 2.
For The Preen.]
I have heretofore observed, that when the
carpenter obtained nine dollars for ono week's
labor, and under free-trade could get for that
foreign cloth to make a coat, that cloth would
be the product of his industry, and his wages
would be just equal to that quantity of
cloth; consequently, thegreater the amount of
cloth which he could obtain for nine dollars,
the greater would be his wages ; and as he
would obtain a greater amount of cloth under
free trade, therefore under free trade the
'greater would be the amount of his wages. If
a tariff substantially prohibited him from buy
ing that cheap foreign cloth, and compelled
him to buy in the home market, he would ne
cessarily lose, because he would have to pay
the difference bewteen the two articles.
But I go further, and I will now show that
this tariff will not only lessen the wages of
the American carpenter, but it will totally de
prive another American workman of employ
ment. Now, to make this quite plain, I must
go back and restate the case I have already
put. Thus, suppose the carpenter to have
eighteen dollars for his two weeks' work, and
supposo that under tree trado the cloth for
his coat would cost him nine dollars, ho would
have nine dollars left, and with that he could
buy hats for himself and children—thus ob
taining for his two weeks' labor a coat for Mtn
self and hats for himself and children, and
giving employment to an American hatter.
That is the account to the credit of free trade.
Now, let the tariff of one hundred per cent.
be put on the cloth, ho will then have to give
to the American manufacturer of it twice as
much, or eighteen dollars; but that leaves him
without means to buy a hat for himself or
children, and consequently ho cannot employ
the American hatter, thus obtaining for his
two weeks' work a coat,and giving employment
to the American cloth-maker, but losing the
hat for himself and children, and depriving
the hatter of employment. That Is the ac
count to the credit of a tariff. Which of the
two is tho best for him?
But I shall be answered thus Is it not bet
ter that the carpenter should pay more for
his goods, and thus employ an American
cloth-maker, who would otherwise he idle,
than that ho should buy imported cloth and
so not employ the American cloth-maker
I have several answers to this. First, then,
when you say better, for whom do you moan
it is better ? Surely not for the carpenter who
is thus compelled to pay more, for we have
just seen that the more he has to pay the less
ho gets for his labor, and consequently it is
the worse for him, his family, and all who de
pend on him. Second, it is not better for the
hatter, or other American workmen whom ho
cannot any longer employ, because that the
wages which he would have spent with them
he must now appropriate to buy the higher
priced American cloth. So, in that as
pect, also, it is worse and not better. But
I have another answer to it, and it is this :
Suppose that when the carpenter has the
eighteen dollars for his two weeks' labor, and
the American cloth-maker is selling him a coat
for that sum, that a stranger (a Yankee, or a
foreigner, if you choose,) stops up to the car
penter, saying, "My friend, I have just in
vented a machine which, without perceptible
cost, will make as much cloth for nine dollars
(the free-trade price) as that American cloth
maker can make and sell to you for eighteen
dollars." Now, my question to the advocates
of a tariff is, would you destroy that machine,
or prohibit the owner of it from making cloth
at that price I If you would, and right/y, than
I give up free trade, and admit that it, as well
as the labor-saving machine, should be pro
hibited. The two must stand or fall together.
But if you would not, then observe Its effect:
cloth will be sold at nine dollars, the ruinous
free-trade price; against such competition the
American maker of it cannot carry on his
business ; his factories must stop and his work
men be discharged ; nor can they be employed
by others at the like business, because this
machine will dispense with their labor; and so
they, and those who depend on them, must be
unemployed. No doubt that is painful to
those- -who cxperbautto It, but that have no
mote reason to complain of free trade than of
the new machine. And hero may be noted
and observed the difference between the free
trade which precedes, and that which follows,
a tariff. The free trade which precedes a
tariff, or which permits the importation of
articles which do not exclude those made un
der a tariff, will not injure any existing inter
est, for the sumo reason that a now machine,
which makes articles not then made under an in
ferior ono, cannot injure workmen, or any then
existing interest. Not so, however, with anew
invention which does make cheaper artieles,and
which thus competes with and may,in effect, to
tally drive the old one out of the market, and
also deprive those who worked it ef all employ
ment. Such a new machine is for the time,
and as to the workmen thus deprived of em
ployment, and as to the capital in the old ma
chine thus sunk, the cause of actual loss and
suffering. Witness the thousands of copyists
whom the art of printing deprived of employ
ment; witness, too, the thousands who, like
the poor stocking-weavers of Nottingham,
have been deprived of work by a machine
which did their work without them, and for
almost nothing. lu what, indeed, does the
utility of labor-saving machines consist but
in the fact, as its name imports, that it dis
penses)vith the labor of men, or, in other words,
deprives them of labor, while, at the same time,
increasing the amount of the products of labor?
Yet that is exactly what is done by free trade.
It, like the new machine, may deprive some
workmen of their employment, but, at the
same time, liko the machine, it increases the
amount of the products of labor; and as the
wages of the workmen, in every community,
depend on the relative amount of the products
of labor, the wages of such a community al
ways increase with the increase of labor-sav
ing machinery, so also must they always in
crease by free trade, through which those pro
ducts become greater than under the prohibi
tion of a tariff.
MR. EVERETT'S LATE ORATION.
Por Mann.]
PIIILADEDPIIIA, Oct. 28, 1857.
On reading your splendid notice of the truly
great oration recently delivered at Sulfide, by
Edward Everett, I discover that the fact of
his having confounded the younger with the
elder Cyrus has escaped your notice. He
speaks of The Cyrus who entertained Lysander
at Sardis, as the "half-mythical Persian
sovereign," and clothes him with the ,4 royal
purple." This is a violation of history, which
le unpardonable in a gentleman of such emi
nent abilities as Mr. Everett. The younger
Cyrus never was a sovereign, nor was he at
any time clothed in the 44 royal purple." Ho
Probably Would have been, had ho been suc
cessful In his efforts to overthrow the power
of his brother Artaxerxes, who was the reign
ing sortreign of the whole Persian empire.
The younger Cyrus, after his attempt to assas
sinate his brother Artaxerxes, was condemned
to death, but when about to be executed his
mother clung to hint with endearing embraces,
and besought her kingly son Artaxerxes to
spare the life of his brother, pledging herself
for his future good behavior. Ills life was
spares, and he was sent to the maritime pro- '
vinees of the empire as their governor. It
was here that he matured his design to over
throw the sovereignty of Artaxerxes, under
the plea that ho was about to make war
upon Tissaphernes, another Satrap of the
empire. It was here that he entertained
Lysander, and subsequently engaged Clear
chus, with his fourteen thousand Greek mer
cenaries, to assist hint in the overthrow of Ar
taxerxes. This rebellion failed in consequence
of the death of Cyrus in battle, who is said to
have fallen by the hand of his brother, whom
he sought to dethrone. The celebrated re
treat of the "ten thousand" grew out of that
defeat, and immortalised Xenophon. The
oration of Mr. Everett, therefore, Is not 44 as
complete as one of those ancient statues °ride
tures which =deft art toilain vain to imitate."
Those statues and pictures were true to nature ;
but the oration, in the particular mentioned,
lacks the truth of history. So ripe a scholar
as Mr. Everett, who prepares his orations with
much care, should bo more careful of his his.
torical facts, because such men aro very apt
to be taken as the very best authority for the
statements which they make, and often mis
lead the mind of the student.

A painful case 01 destitution and of degra
dation was disclosed at an inquest hold in Alleghe
ny City, Pa., on Tuesday afternoon, on the body
of a man named John Simpson. It appears from
the testimony of Redden Gilbert, of Mary Shop
son, wife of deceased, and of Nancy Gilbert, that
Simpson and his wife had Just arrived hero from
Philadelphia, from which latter city ho had walked
all the way to Pittsburgh, with the exception of
about forty miles; that Simpson and his wife wore
both drunk, and that Gilbert took them into his
house oat of charity - that Simpson laid upon the
floor or upon a sort of bed on the floor during the
night, and on Tuesday morning was lying there
dead. Tho verdict of the Jury was in accordance
with the facts.

BANKS AND BANKINO.7No. 3
For The Pe , Ve.)
Tho entire syetetnless system of banking, as it is
now praetised in the United States, should be care
fully and thoroughly revised and amended. Its
edifice, if round, as it probably would be found un
oboe examination, very defeats° in its plan and
its constrthltion, should be east down to its founda
tion stone, and a new and' a bettor edifice should
be erected un a better plan than the present one,
and on morn firm and more suitable ground than
the present building occupies. Although it is not
generally prudent to connect money corporations,
or any norparations, with the groat corporation of
a State Government. it deserves serious and !nature
consideration whether it would not be advantageous
to the State of Pennsylvania,;to thff Federal Union,
and to the, banks nolf established or hereafter to
be instituted within them, if these hanks wore so
constituted as to have a oonneetion with our State
Ilovernments, so far as to derive from them a gua
rantee for their solvency, on their depositing in the
State tretewries sufficient security. They might
acquire from their connection with the State
verumentc, if that cennection Were properly formed
and well guarded against 'finger, the important'
additional se/3114W which such institutions may re
ceive from the support contributed to theta by the
power and the wealth of those Governnionts. They
might be meterially nide(' by the accumulated confi
dence thatweidd, be repeats)/ Whom .by the people,
in consequenceof this governmental support. The
people world ho "induced ;to watch and to guard
more earefelly the banks in which they would pos
sess a share of property. It would be their inte
rest to eustsin them, to presorve them from all cor
ruption, amp to compel them to fulfil their duties
by adhering steadily to the purposes for which
they wore established, •
The constant vigilance of stockholders over
banks is indispensable to the proper administration
of their banking ntfairs. If tboy neglect careful
and constant supervision of them, they must ex
poot to suffer the coniequenceS which ainiost in
variably result from entrusting to a tow men the
entire control of the interests of many men, who
are negligent, of them, and who permit their
agents to conduct them as they please. All the
stockholders should, if possible, attend personally
at the next' nilleting, and at all subsequent meet
ings called for the election of directors, and vote
personally, and not by proxy. If unable to attend
at these elections themselves, they should give
proxies only to those on whose integrity and
boner they can confidently rely, and who would
strictly obey their instruction in casting their
votes.
Usury laws are believed to have important
influence on the pecuniary condition of the gene
ral community. It might promote the interests of
that community to rescind thorn entirely or to
modify them se as to prevent the grasping, mer
cenary money-dealer from preying ut pleasure on
his willing or his involuntary victims. Tho difft
oulty of mooting usury laws, which is Muffled or
increased by the facility with which they may bo
eluded or violated by the ingenious money-glut
tons and by the temptation of gain, which an in
fringement of them presents to him, renders it a
question worthy of mature consideration, whether
it would not bo advisable to repeal those laws, anti
to allow on loan., of teensy, secured by mortgages
and other equivalent moans, an interest of Boron
por cent, -
This rate of interest, being equal to that allowed
in the neighboring State of New York, might have
the effect of restricting within the limits of Penn
sylvania. whatever loans of money might be made
by the people of that State. It might be beneficial
to all the States to equalize the rates of interest in
all of them, and to encourage the making of loans
by increasing to a proper extent thereto of Interest
allowed on them. Whatever can have a tendency
to open the reservoirs of the possessors of real
money, and to diffuse it, in nhniornus and fertiliz
ing streams, throughout the entire country, would
be productive of advantage to all classes of the peo
ple. On all loans of money not scoured by bond
and mortgage it would probably be judicious to al
low whatever rate of interest might bo agreed on
by lenders and borrowers, providing, by legal
enactments, for the strict observance of the eon
tracts mato between them.
In the !resent critic, when so many of the people
are expecting from their State Legislatures the
adoption of measures which may diminish or re
move the general pecuniary embarrassments, It in
the Oft 9 i t. he 4kuty; and the Internet of the people
to dtv • their common welfare tbe nintio of re'
lief *r b tiny be most prompt end effee Ina • - They,
eh did, with as little delay as possible, meet in
primary assemblies, and elect delegates to a na
tional convention, equal in number to that of Con
gressional representatives, who should convene at
some central place before the next meeting of Con•
gross, and of the State Legislatures. These dele
gates should be men of sound judgment and discre
tion, of great experience in finanoial affairs, and
of pure and stern integrity. None of them should
be mere traders or projectors in party politics. They
should be practical in financial science, liberal
and ,yet prudent In their expressions and their
views.
Tho proposed convention should deliberate care
fully mid maturely on the present state of the
financial and business community, devise such
measures for the general welfare an it may deem
west salutary, and recommend thorn for the
Oen of the respeetive State Legislatures at thew
next scallions. Thu convention might, with pro
priety and advantage,
appeal to the next Congress
for aid to the general fitiatioial cause, and ask that
body to interpose its authority, by the enactment
of such laws for the regulation of the currency as
may be consistent with its constitutional power,
and required by the present pecuniary condition
of the country. It should be one of the prinoipal
objects of the convention to establish, permanent
ly, a uniform value on the notes of all the banks
of the United States, so as to render them a steady
and a safe currency in all of those States. While
so many banks as now exist throughout the 'Fede
ral Unbn aro permitted to emit almost unlimited
numben of paper promises, without having abili
ty to rtdeom them, and while, as a necessary con
soquenee. those promises have only a local and a
limited circulation and value, there can be no suf
ficient seectrityfor the proper and prosperous prose
cution of business throughout the entire Republic.
The inconveniences and losses, which result from se
various and variable a currency us Wool State
bank notes supply, moat increase. Those banks
should not be permitted to disorder the general
system of business by the constant increase of pa
per mcney,reoeived at different values in different
parts of the country, and exposed to continual
fluctuations in its own value, and causing ince-
sant variations in the general standard of the value
of money, and of all ether descriptions of pro
perty,

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM EABTON.
Correspondence of The Press 1
EASTON, Pa., Nov. '2, 1867.
itht. EDITOR : I have determined to write
you a short notice of an occurrence which
took place here yesterday, which I hope will
be acceptable.
The usual quietness of our town, occasioned
by the hard times and attending dullness of
business, was agreeably broken in upon last
evening, by the illumination and precession of
the students of La Payette College.
Great events in all nations have been marked
by great demonstrations, and small ones in
proportion. Whether this time-honored prin
ciple seized the students or not, we are unable
to say; at any rate, amid the general dullness,
they presented us a magnificent spectacle in
the Illumination of the College.
The occasion of this demonstration was the
accession of G. Wilson McPhail, D. D., pastor
of the Brainerd Church, in this place, to the
presidential chair, lately made vacant by the
resignation of Rev. Dr. McLean.
MePhall comes to the chair by the unan
imous call of the board of trustees; and equal
ly approved by the synod of Philadelphia,
under whose immediate coat of the .college, is
now placed: Certainly the Comliiiied`whidom
of those two &kilos uniting, without oppoti
liont77 on a single individual, argues well for his
ttdatation to that high position.
A, precisely quarter past seven the bellwhich
had
,be en ringing for three-quarters of an hour,
ceased ; In less than a minute the light from a
thousand candles blazed (mu tho fifty windows
fronting the town, presenting tho most splendid
sight we have' ever witnessed. Though the
pale moon throw her , beams plontedusly upon
the scone, the brightness of the lights was ren
dered scarcely less imposing.
In a short time banners were seen issuing
from the college, bearing such mottoes as told
what was the object of the institution and of
the present display. The old Latin, scarce
seen or heard now, except in these institutions,
was emblazoned on every banner. The pro-
Cession formed in front of the college in the
order of classes, and marched along the wind
ing hill until it descended to the Bushkin
bridge, at the foot of Mons Sclential, where it
was met by cc Poraps Cornet Band," without
which all such occasions seem dull.
As the procession marched up Third street
the excitement scorned intense; the streets
wore crowded with mon and women, besides
a more than usual number of awaiting boys.
The order of march was through most of the
principal streets, until the procession brought
up at the residence of the President, whore
the students formed into a solid body, and
gave three hearty cheers' for their newly
elected of Whe soon appeared at the door,
when Mr. 0. S. Dean, of the Senior Giese, was
tolled upon to address the President in behalf
of the students. This, considering the inex
perience and embarrassing position of the
speaker, was done in an able and eloquent
manner. He referred briefly to the late elec
tion; to the two previous occasions on which
the college was illuminated (the battle of
Buena Vista, and the completion of the Endow
ment Fund); to the universal good feeling
which existed in the college and community
towards Dr. McPhail, and the pride of each
student in being permitted to study under his
direction.
Dr. McPhail then spoke in his calm and
pleasant manner. He referred, with apparent
interest, to his former connection with the col
lege ; to her former trials and present bright
prospects; and, also, to the friendships of col
lege-life, and their lasting impressions.
When the President ceased to speak, throe
cheers again arose from the students. After
another tune discoursed by the band, the pro
cession again formed and marched away.
Would that it had ended hero! All would
have passed oft' pleasantly to all concerned.
But as the procession marched up
,Spring
Clanton street, stones or brickbats wore thrown
at the hind banners by persons in the crowd.
This was continued as they paraded through
the principal streets until they reached the
foot of the college stops, on their way home,
by which time one banner was about destroyed,
and, anotioir...badlY lefaceti• . kna n to,
however, to their own praise,ltept their. ranits,;
and Carried the banners through. To resist,
on their part, was difficult, as there was a
great crowd in the streets, and many small
boys. As far as we can hoar, they gave no
provocation.
You may ask, Whore were the police 1" I
have since heard that there were several of
them in a lager beer saloon; and when asked
why they wore not out keeping the peace,
replied that it would not bo disturbed, or
would keep itself. To the honor of our citi
zens, I have heard that those whose duty it
was to prevent such shameful doings have
been compelled to ferret out the offenders, or
lose their office. Several of the students were
seriously injured. S. M.

should be made dutiable at the rate of 15 percent.
under the classification in schedule N of " leather,
upper, of all kinds."
The terms "patent," "japanned," and "glazed,"
as applied to leather or skins, are believed to be
synonymous, and if, as the appellant would seem to
contend, the article in question could, under the
tariff not of 1816, bo Massed as " loather, upper, of
all kinds," it must now bo regarded in the tariff of
3d March, 1857, as transferred to schedule 11, and

bin article , ' of import, termed by them " watch

1957.
" Watch movements" aro understood to be the
entire watch in running order, except the outer
ease and crystal.
The collector assessed duly at the rate of 8 per
cent., under schedule 4 in the tariff of 1840, as
modified by the net of the 3d March, 1857.
The importerscontend the "watch movements"
have boon transferred from schedule 0 in the tariff
of 1810 to schedule II by force of the provision of
the 21 section of the net of 3d Morel), 1857, which
transfers to that schedule "watch materials and

transfers " watch materials and unfinished parts of

It appears that duty was assessed on those arti

Chris. Lilly was well known in New 'kora, Ne 1r
Orleans, and particularly in California, among the
"fanny." He settled in San Francisco with his
wife inlBs2,lgaining his living by gambling, horse-
Teeing. and "sporting" generally. After a while
he rented or bought a plate on the San Jose road.
few miles out of San Francisco, called "The A b
hey." Here he kept a few cattle, raised sense gar
den stuff for market, entertained travellers and his
brother sportsmen, gambled, and occasionally did a
little ballot box stuffing, when it would pay well.
He was a rather quiet man, not often getting into
rows; but last year, on the establishineat of the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee, ho became obnox
ious to that body, principally on amount of his con
nection with the San Mateo election frauds, and in
consequence received an order from "33 Secre
tary" to quit the country. Chris. took passage,
with his wife, to Nicaragua, and went immedi
ately to Granada, where Walker was then station
ed. Here ha established a mina- bank, where he
won about all the ready money of Walker's offi
ears, besides some $50.000 in soldiers' land warrants,
This field having been fully explored, be purchased
a small vessel, with the intention of trading on the
coast. Ile loaded his little craft with coffee in
Costa Rica for San Juan del Star, hoping to make a
good speculation out of Walker, who much needed
the article. Walker, however, had got so re
duced in funds that ho could pay hot little
cash, and Chris. only sold him about half his
load, for which ho got some money, some cocoa,
and the balance in premium. lie then sot sail for
Manzanillo in Mexico, to dispose of his cocoa and
the balance of his coffee, but the strong north
winds disabled his vessel, and ho was obliged to
put into Roalejo. Knoto happened to be at Real
* with his squadron, and advised Lilly to take
his vessel to La Union for repairs, offering to tow
him up to port, which offer Lilly, being afraid of
arrest as a fillibuster at Realejo, accepted. On his
arrival at La Union, Knoto took Lilly on board,
and put him in irons. Ho was seen in this con
dition on board the SE lag° by an American gen
tleman, who interceded with Knott for his release.
Knoto replied that ho would be glad to accede to
his request, but he had orders from hie Govern
ment, to send him to the capital. A couple of
months subsequently, Knot° informed the same
gentleman that he had released Lilly, This
proved to bo false. By order of the Guatemalian
commander, Lilly and Yates were taken down
into the holdwhile in irons, where a volleyfrom five
marines, commanded by a sergeant, was fired into
them. Lilly fell dead at the first fire, but Yates, who
was a very powerful man, was not immediately
killed. In his agony ho dashed his manacles at
the head of his dead companion, and scattered 1111
brains about the hold. Yates was finally des
patched, and the vessel raised anchor and went
out to sea, to sink the bodies. Knoto sold the
coffee for his own benefit, and likewise robbed
Lilly of the $1,500 in cash ho had with him.
These murders were a long time kept secret, but
are not now disputed by anyone No doubt Knoll,
committed these murders for tho sake of the spoils,
as Lilly had no trial, and the Government, it is
believed, were not even informed of tho execu
tion.
Lilly's wife is in New York. Yates was from
:Massachusetts. I have heard that his name was
David—but this is not known positively.
Knots calla himself an American. I understand
he is a sou of a former United States consul at
Aga.

Election Riots in Baltimore
[Fmni the Baltimore flue of Thursday morning.]
About half-past 111 o'clock, yesterday, a bloody
ullair transpired at the Del(alb House, the place
of holding the polls of the Seventeenth ward,which
resulted in the s tabbing of two men—one seriously—
and the shooting of their assailant by some friends
ef the former. It seems that a man, named Patrick
Kelley, a native of Washington city, on passing
the polls, was accosted by Parker White, a ticket
holder, who offered bins a ticket, which Kelley re
fused to take. Some blows wore struck, and Kel
ley drew a sword-eano and plunged the blade into
the right side of White, and also wounded his
brother, John White, in the arm Almost imme
diately Kelley was fired upon by some parties
standing near, ono shot penetrating the jaw and
ranging upward into the head, and another en
tering the back of his head to the brain. Both the
wounded parties fell to the pavement after receiv
ing their wounds, and were carried off
White was taken into the DeKaib House and a
physician summoned, and Kelley was removed to
the southern police station, where Dr Benson at
tended him. At two o'clock Ito was removed to
the Lombard street infirmary. Last evening be
was rapidly approaching delirium, and the physi
cians there thought ho could not survive over the
night. White, who is a son of the well-known en
gineer of the steamer General McDonald, was sub
sequently removed to his home on Henrietta street.
Great excitement and much indignation followed
thle occurrence, and It was afterwards difficult for
a Democrat or naturalized foreigners to approach
the polls. Knockdowns and blood Dona were fro
quilt and not far between.

Dill No. 181. William key was convicted of an

Edward Sherry was charged with the commission
of an assault and battery. and of keeping a tavern
at which gambling was allowed A melee had
eurrea on the premises, during Which two men,
named Boyle, tether and .an, had. with a great
many ethers, engaged in a Belt to te•t who were
the " best men." or to see which of them c , u! , .1
display their sportsmanlike propeusitie, in the
ho 4 manner calculated to create renown The
scene, indeed, according to the testimony of tho host
of witnesses, was disgraceful, and dodge Conrad, in
charging the jury, made cowo very tertir.ent re
marks. The judge said that it was a mere ia:no of
fact. The cause of prosecution arose from one of
those pestilent dens, where, in addition to the sale
of poisons to destroy, there was a system of gam
bling to rob The quarrel between the parties
seems to have been as to who of the rivals was
"good," and as to the degree of merit, in this re
gard, in the parties. To do good is. it seems, in
this barbarous code of morals, Lobe evil— , • evil, be
thou my good" is their accepted motto: and
the greatest ruffian, the stalwart and recklem
Gladiator, whose loftiest ambition is shared with
the wolf, and who aspires to eminence only in acts
of violence and wrong, is the best man
Who was the "best man ?" was the issue in
this tavern brawl ; the best man there may pro
bably be the worst man in the court of justice.
If all concerned could be 'objected to legal re
buke, justice would have no lamentation' to make
over them. The whole scene is disgraceful. A
son knocking down a father—the father prosecu
ting his eon—a friend as,aibing his ft-lend—and all
engaged in a contest, the only acknowledged object
of which was to ascertain who was the "best," or
the most brutal ruffian In law, the party why first
committed the violence is responsible. But if, in
repelling the assault committed, the opposite
party resorted to an menace/wart. extremity o r
angry force, he in turn became guilty el an assault
and battery.
