Frauds in Trade.
A great deal has boon said, and very justly,
in condemnation of certain frauds in cotton
bent from this country to Europe, such frauds
consisting of the introduction, into many cot
ton bales, of dust, dirt, small pebbles, and
other articles to Increase the weight. It has
boon explained, and with considerable chow of
reason, that these extraneous substances have
been accidentally introduced, for the moat
part, and, In most cases, by iho hurry of get_
tiug the cotton packed up to meet a largo do
mend from abroad. $ The complaints have
chiefly come front Liverpool, and front the
cotton manufacturers of Lancashire, of which
it is the commercial capital and port. But It
appears, on the f.larless showing of the London
Tinto of December 20th, that fraudulent
pratiticts prevail, not only tirgbly, but over-
Powering in England itself.
Tho Tunes notices an attempt to establish
an associatloh for the discouragement of fraud
ming British manufacturers, and remarks, in
its usual caustic manner, enema a strange
object to propose. It sounds like a contra
diction in tenns—liko a society for the conver
sion to Christianity of the Episcopal bench, or
a hospital to prevent the spread of delirium
Ireineus among teetotallers," and adds, gc This
movement is actually promoted by, and di
rected against those gentlemen who live in
such largo houses, and aro surrounded by such
gorgbous servants, and who have such awful
accounts at their bankers', and such comforta
ble pews in the parish church; it is among
these that the promoters of this society pro
pose to send forth missionaries, who are to
carry persuasion upon their tongues, and a
constable's stall in their pockets."
The British manufacturer, says this truth

ho must not send an article out of his ware.
house which would kill or mains any ono who
should use it ; he must not sell a wooden stick
and guarantee it to be cotton ; ho must not
sell cast-iron cutlery and eall it steel ; he must
not send out a pair of scissors never intended
to but, or an axe that would fly to pieces at
the first stroke. It there are people who have
In the same trade a better name than himself,
ho must never °instep the fair pace of emula
tion ; it Must not enter his mind to forge their
names and destroy their credit by affixing
their brand to coarse and worthless goods.
Those are of the very rudiments of commer
cial morals. They aro the equivalents to
Thou shalt not kill,' Thou shalt not steal,'
and Thou shalt not bear false witness.' Yet,
Heaven help ns ! these aro the very acts which
are attributed to these very respectable per.
sons ai every-day practices."
Frauds have grown into "a custom of ma
mdifeturenr." Yes, says the writer,
" They have boon solemnly presented to a court
of justice for its emotion. A manufacturer has
had the assurance to bring an notion for the In
fringement of bis trade mark—that mark being a
3tAbyards label to be tattled upon a 100-yards reel
of cotton. A few days ago a rifle burst at the
Kilburn Rifle-ground, and upon examining the
fragments it was found that there was no proof
mark. upon it. This weapon had been sold with-
OS the usual test required by law as a security
that It should not destroy the life of the purchaser.
It happened, however, that no one was killed, and

Allro then ono man must have died out of all who

lie stands alone in his misery, and perhaps
curses bitterly ; but the comfortable man at Bir
utinghatu, or O'hotliohl, or In London, who made or
sold tide treacherous trash never hears his male
dictions, and, if he slid, would only piously pray
to Heaven to convert the poor reprobate. The
thrifty housewife in some remote village, who has
raved the twenty margin of her husband'a earnings
to clothe her children, bargains for her pieces of
print and calico, her reel of cotton and her needles,
and, as her necessities compel her, takes the
eheepest which the merchant trill offer. When
she gots home her prints aro all short measure, the
substance of her calico rubs elf in dust, her cotton
reel has just enough cAton en it to conceal the
wood, her needles are pointless and often eyeless,
and her hooks and eyes are a useless jumble of
white motel.
" Yet ail these things eve couched for by the
most respectable Eng,llah names. If there be a
manufacturer who. by honest dealing and excel
lence of workmanship, has obtained a name, that
tonne is sore to bo found forged upon tiles° low
priced 311111 , 1103. Tho bronsod gatopipos—doublo
barrels al 25.3.—are pretty certain to bear the name
of Manton or Egg, the cutlery id all branded with
the name of Itodgera, the prints and calicoes ere
alt by the most renowned firms, and the 100 yards
of cotton aro all boldly marked outside ' 300 yards '
The first eunsequenee of all this 13 that the con
surnerie robbed ; the next is that the manufacturers
whose nausea and brands aro fergod aro defrauded
of their well-earned reputation; but the third con
sequel:ea is that the credit and commerce of Eng
land are mods a byword In distant lands. We
are Requiring en ill name abroad for bad cheap
work, and in many even of our own colonies the
American work is preferred to ours, as being more
honest. Yet, the men who have brought this to
pass are ' all honorable men ' They hold up tholr
heads, and boldly avow their 'system;' and, as
sembled in grave Commercial associations, tLey
shortly answer to all expostulators who suggest a
reform, that ' the subject cannot be entertai ned They have oven convinced soma of our selfosp
pointed Mothers of social philosophy that it is all
quite right; for, at the Birmingham social alone°
mooting, Mr. William Liaises, without a protest
from any ono present, declared it to bo his firm
conviction that trade is now, on the whale, more
honorably conducted than at any previous period.'
"Any one dues good service who attempts to
eta) this spread of commercial dishonesty. Not
only must it, if allowed to increase, destroy all ex
cellence in our manufactures, bat it must sap the
morals of our population, and ultimately diminish
the security of all property In no society can
there be a monopoly of fraud. Be It known, then,
that [hero is not a duffer' ore skittle-aharper who
is more at odds with the law than the respectable
millionaires who carry on these practices. It is
no defence any more in law titan In morals to say
that they obey too orders of the retailer. Any
purchaser who is deceived by a fetes brand may
Bullet both manufacturer and retailer for a conspi
racy to defraud hint. Lot it be known also to all
that the law of England does not protect such
contracts, and that payment fur such fraudulent
consignments cannot to; enforced in our courts. It
is not the law, it is commercial * morality, which is
wanting A little public exposure and a little
wholesome action of public opinion aro all that is
wantin4 to put a stop to this Iniquity. The gentle•
men w ho have taken it in hand seem to have done
so In a spirit of moderation, and with a right view
of the exigonoles of the case We hope that all
who nro desirous of keeping our commercial fame
lair in the eyes of the world will aid thorn, and
then those who do not so desire will, willingly or
unwittinuly, soon be compelled to ' entertain the
subject."'
A good, wholesome, honest, plain•spokon
exposure like this is creditable to the Journal—
certainly the most important and influential
in the world—which has the frankness to
make it. Every statement in tills article is
true. But there has been a delicacy in making
the exposure—a delicacy towards the charac
ter of the British nation. It Is creditable to
the independence and pluck of the Times that
it tells the truth. Fraud, In England, how.
ever, does not excuse fraud In America, and
we aro glad that measures are being taken hero
to prevent any further complaints respecting
our cotton•
The English t{ eilbtoin of manufacturers,"
which puts a 300-yards label upon a 100-yards
reel of cotton has its Imitators here. l%rU can
mention one occurrence which has been re
lated to us upon undoubted authority. A
lady, who Is not above attending to the de-
tails of her household, and had been com
pelled to establish a set or scales and weights
to make sure that she was not cheated any
more In the supplies from her butcher and
other dealers, found herself run out of coffee,
and sent her Biddy to a neighboring grocery
store to purchase a single pound. When
brought In, it seemed of such small bulk that
sho put It into the ever•useful scale, and al
coveml that it weighed only twelve ounces.
She sent it back, unopened, and the grocer,
who at first declined to return tho purchase
money, finally surrendered it, on throat of
prosecution and oxposure—indignantly telling
the lady that he wanted no more of her custom,
as he slid not desire to supply any one who
"could act so little like a lady as to weigh any
article sent to her from his store. It was a
meanness," he added, " which a reel lady
never could ho guilty of." Wo pledge our
self to tho truth of this statement. Tile dealer
In question is a wealthy and highly "respect
able" man.

Ruinous RELIC.—At the last meeting of the
New York Historical Society, a curious relic was
presented. It will bo remembered, by all fami

Now Jersey, and how magnanimously Washington

SOUTHERN Nox•rarancounsts.—Soma of our co
temporaries nro making much ado about the pro.
tossed determination of the people in the Southern
States to cease trading, as far as possible, with the
merchants and manufacturers of the North. But
it is easier to talk non-intereourse than to carry
it out in practice. Tho Virginia hulks may, for a
few times, display their spirit by appearing at even
ing parties dressed in home-spun," just as New
York ladies have displayed their benevolence by
attending " calico balls;" but Southern ladies will
no more doom themselves to wear nothing but
" home-spun" than would our New York belles
and matrons take a vow to wear nothing but calico.
We attach, therefore. very little importance to
the home-spun" movement In Virginia, or the
non•intercoureo agitation in that and other South
ern States. The ladies will not ignore fashion and
finery, and the gentlemen must dress to please the
Indies, The non•intercourae Idea ie but a momen
tary delusion, begotten by weak passions. The
thing itself is an impossibility. The Southern
people might as well resolve that they would not
speak the same language as tbo people of the
:S.nrthern States, as that they will not buy any
thing in Northern markets. Their interests and
their tastes compel them to trade with us. The
practical establishment of non•intercourse with
the North would bankrupt almost every South.
arm planter. It would bee moat effective emend"
potion measure, because it would soon render slave
property almost valueless.
The industry, the wealth, the enterprise, and
the extensive commerce of the Northern States
have greatly enhanced the value of the Southern
slave to his master. They have created an in.
creased demand for the products of slave labor, so
that the very prosperity at the North has been the
means not only of enriching the "slaveholders of
the South, but of strengthening slave institutions.
Whatever Southern politicians may threaten, the
Southern people uaderstand their own interests
too well to yield to the non-intercourse doctrine,
or seriously entertain the idea of dissolving the
Union.
There is, too, another tie which binds the South
to the North and the North to the South. Capital
centres in the Northern cities. Hundreds of South
ern plantations aro mortgaged to Northern mon,
and Northern capital enables the Southern planter
to get his products to market. More than this :
Northern money has been largely invested in
Southern railroads; and the heavy debts pressing
on some of this Southern States are due chiefly to
Northern Inipitalists. There is, therefore, each a
community Of Interest between the several States
of the Union that it is not in the power of sectional
agitators and politicians to break the links which
hind them together.—New York Sun.

wives who are inclined to complain of their hus
bands, is given by Brigham Young, in a sermon
lately delivered at Salt Lake City
" I will here make afew remarks which, I think,
will check some of the complaints from women
about their husbands. I acknowledge that many
women know much more than their trubbands, and
for this reason the faith and confidence in them
droop; they do not seek to uphold them in the dig
nity of their position and calling. And, again,
may be the husband does magnify his priesthood,
follow diligently the duties of his calling, and in
crease in the faith of the gospel, as it is his privi
lege to do. He should be the head of the wife, all
the day long. I will venture to Bay a little more
upon this point. I like to see people consistent
with the wisdom they profess to have. Ware I a
woman, possessed of great powers of mind, filled
with wisdom, and, upon the whole, a magnanimous
woolen, and been privileged with my choice, and
had married a man and found myself deceived. he
not answering toy expectations, and I being sorry
that I had made such a choice, let run show my
lii4l/0111 by not complaining about It. A woman's
wisdom and judgment has failed her once in the
choke of a husband, and it may again, if she is
not very careful. By seeking to cast off her hus
band, by withdrawing her confidence and good will
from btm, she casts a dark shade upon his path,
when, by pursuing a proper course of love. obe
dience, and encouragement, he might attain to that
perfootion she had anticipated in him. When the
enemy once gets advantage over you, be is very apt
to improve upon it, and to gain a greater when he
has another opportunity."
B.et'ttew is Hoors.—At Chleago last week a
rather antusiug scone took place during the bap
tism of a young lady by the pastor of the Taber
nacle The Union says : " The minister request•
od her to assume the dress peculiar to such an oc

skirt. The minister told her of the inconvenience
that must result from her obstinacy, but she per

the Inflated skirt touched the meter and rote up
around her like a balloon. Ilex head was lost to

and was buoyed up 30 successfully that it was not

A Mmocsr. Bite —A ship which arrived the
other day from Havre bed a goodly number of
steerage passengers, mostly from the Rhine ; and
among thesis, 03 pert of their effects, was a goodly
number of band-organs. The voyage was of
nearly two menthe duration, and was chequered,
of course, by Venus, gales, and fair winds. When
ever the weather and the sea admitted of it, the
steerage passengers flocked on dock, and true to
their Oorman inatinots, got up waltees, polkas,
and innzourkes, the music being furnished by the
various organs in turn.
One day, when the ship was near the mouth of
the Mississippi, the solitary cabin passenger
on board became struck by the large num.
her of hand-organs; it seemed strange that se
many Instruments of the kind should have acci
dentally got together• on ono vessel.
On inquiry, It WAS ascertained that some wag of
an American, lava eummer, passing through various
villages in Alsace and other French konlities near
the Rhine, had informed some of the good people,
who, he found, were intending to emigrate to Arne
ricadn the fall, that In the highest social circles, In
the city and country, in the Northern, Southern,

Carolina Legislature, who opposed the disunion
course of a majority of his colleagues at the recent

mountaineer :
"In all candor and frankness, I must may, how
ever, that I do not hollers anything serious will

union, civil war, nor danger to slavery I have
confidence in the good sense of the American peo•

they aro as lost to their interests as to dr. u a se

to continuo our political coooection with them,
and wo should be prepared to meet, every issue
that may come. The slaveholding States should
meet in convention and take united action; the

to think of taking the load. Twice already has
she attempted it, and no other State followed.
"My opinion ever has been that the sole object
of the North, in their crusade against slavery, is
to unite the non-slaveholiling States, and take the
Federal Government out of the hands of the
Sduth, and enjoy its powers, spoils, and offices.
Beyond this thoy have no other purpose. Ever
since the election of Mr. Jefferson, the Southern
States have bad the administration of the Govern

toil in their elections, a transfer of the Federal
Government must follow, with all its power and
patronage. And I do not believe that if a Black
Republican were elected President of the United

" The Legislature has passed resolutions in the

a mission rather in bad taste and Quixotic. The
Virginia Legislature is in session, and will de

South Carolina. I said to the Home, on the

Junti 10, 1819.
It will be observed that a liberty is taken with a
verse of Horace, by changing it from the third to
the first person, so as to give it greater point. As
originally written, it may be rendered into Eng
lish: " The sky, not the mind, they change who
cross the sea." As altered by Milton for this cc
onsion, it is " The sky, not the mind, I change,
schen I cross the sea." The bearing of this on
the beautiful sentiment from Comas is very inter
elating.
The exintenoe of this autograph was known to
the late William Ellery Charming, who aptly re
marked with regard to it, that it showed "that to
Milton the words from COITIVI3 were something
more tbau poetry—that they were a prinoipte of
life." It is quoted end dwelt upon by Mr.
Mil

Nror Yonx, Jan. 10,1860.
The friends and no-workers of Mayor Wood ex
perience some embarrassment in securing the co
operation of prominent Democrats In different parts
of the State to act as committees for calling district
conventions to nominate delegates to the Charles
ton Convention. In the counties of Chautauqua
Cattaraugue, and Jefferson, tome of the gentlemen
designated by the "National' State Committee have
not only declined to not, but publicly denied anyeen
nection or sympathy with the movement, and pro.
claimed their loyalty to the regular Syracuse organ
%%Son. The Secretary of State, David A. Floyd
Jones, who has not only b een ranked among the sym
pathizers with Mr. Wood, but was present on the
platform at the great Wood ratlfcation • meetiing at
Cooper Institute, has publicly avowed his recog
nition of the regularity of the delegation appointed
by the Democtatle State Convention, and pointedly
disclaimed all intention of supporting any other.
The probability is, therefore, that those delegates
who may be chosen by districts will Tilt up such
vacancies as may be fond to exist on reaching
Charleston, and claim that the delegates thus se
leetc.d should be received as regularly chosen.
John W. Ashmeed, Esq., late of your hity, has
again vindicated his talent for legal astuteness, by
securing for Stephens, now under sentence of death
for the geeonil time, n re-hearing before the Court
of Appeals, after that court of final re Olt had af
firmed the decision of the Supreme Court at its
general term, that no cause existed for granting a
now trial. Tint Mr. Ashmead, with characteristic
pertinacity and industry, has made certain extra•
ordinary discoveries, that in all probability will
result in Stephens' acquittal. Among these the
fact has been ascertained, that the body of Mrs.
Stephens, previous to undergoing chemical
analysis, 'was lying In it room filled with arm
teal preparations, (subjects) several of them being
on the table whore the corpse of Mrs. Ste
phens was laid, and that el strongly wee
the air of the room impregnated with arsenic,
that persons entering it were obliged to protect
themselves from its inhalation. Two er three of
the jurymen, upon hearing these facts, publicly
stated that the knowledge of them, on the trial,
would have altered their verdict. Mr. Ashmead
has finally obtained an order from Judge Suther
land, now a presiding Judge of the Supreme
Court, to argue this newly-found evidence before
the Court of Appeals, and I shall be greatly ear
prised if, after the argument, a new trial is not
granted, and that that trial dill end in the full
eoquittal of the accused. These facts, which have
not yet been published by the press of this city, are
communicated to mo by a gentleman who has no
relations with the parties, but whose sources of in
formation are of the best character.
The publishing firm of Derby h Jackson, one of
the most successful and popular in the city, has
recently been reorganized by the accession of two
wealthy capitalists as special partners, and Mr. 0.
M. Fitch as one of the general partners. Mr.
Fitch has long had charge of an important de
partment in the establishment, and is a gentleman
whose business tact and experience, amenity of
manner and intelligence, would make him a valu
able acquisition to any publishing house in the
country.
The business of the Hudson River Railroad Com
pany (or December exhibits en increase not only
gratifying to its bondholders and creditor; but
highly encouraging to the stockholders. The re
ceipts lest month were $232,032, against $197,950
in December, 155,3--an increase of 134,052, or at
the rate of about four hundred thousand dollars
per annum.
The Rev. Dr. McClintock, pastor of St. Paul's
M E. Church, in this oily, end one of the ablest
Methodist divines in the country, has been invited
to take charge of the American Chapel in Paris.
The probability is that the invitation will be ac
cepted, but that Dr. slaClintock will not leave
until after the session of the Methodist General
Conference, to he held. in May next at Buffalo.
Besides his present pastorate, Dr. McClintock
holds the office of president of the Methodist Uni
versity at Troy.
The enormous quantity of water consumed by
some of the hotels of this city was recently ascer
tained in a suit brought against the Croton Aque
duct Board by the proprietors of the St. Nicholas
Rotel. It appeared from the evidenae that in
1851, the St. Nicholas paid for the use of the Croton
water the sum of $1,204 16, and for the year 1954,
$1,545 75 ; that in 1855 the defendants attached me
tore to the pipes leading to the premises of the
plaintiffs, for ascertaining the quantity of water
used by them ; and the result of such examination
proved that in ninetysix days, between July and
November, the waterused by the plaintiffs exceeded
8,000,000 of gallons, and that the whole amount
of water used on the premises of the plaintiffs
from May, 1855, for one year, exceeded 57,000,000
of 'gallons. For this quantity of water the de
fendants claimed for that year, at the rate of
one cent for every ono hundred gallons of water.
Thin the plaintiffs refused to pay, and, in conse
quence of such refusal, the Croton Board notified
the plaintiffs that they would atop the supply of
water. The plaintiffs thereupon commenced this
action, and obtained an injunction against the
defendants. Mr. Justice Roosevelt held that the
defendants were justified, on the refusal of the
plaintiffs to pay the amount claimed, after notioe
given them, to cut off and stop the supply of water,
and that the defendants were entitled to judgment
and a dissolution of the injunction. The plaintiffs
excepted to these rulings. Upon the argument it
was urged, on the part of the plaintiffs, that the
Croton Board had ue authority TO out off the water,
and no authority to charge at the rate claimed for
the water used by the plaintiffs.

court below.

[By the bark Thomas Dallet, arrived at thu port
yet tattle,' morning, tho following interesting letter
has been received by the Evening Bunetzn
PCERTO CABELLO, Deo. 6th, 19,59.—There is no
improvement in the political or other affairs of
this country. The most etre:law deeds occur
daily, and the people of this place—natives aa well
II foreigners—are in constant dread of being mur
dered, or having their property destroyed.
This place coetinaes to be entrenched, and de•
fended by cannon, as it was in Jane last. There
is constant apprehension of an attack from one or
,ther of the bandit hordes that are scuuring the
ionntry, and attacking the different cities. Gue
vara and the „Moron people continue to Ltuld the
San Felipe road, as in Jute last, and they eau
none to pass unmolested.
As for Falcon, after landing at Stoma, hs
marched on 6an Felipe, took possession of the
place, which was net defended, as well as the
titer cities close by. Thence he went and took
Barquisimeto, after eome resistance: etweeding,
nowever, by the treason of some of the leaders
there. Lie left a garrison of 610 men under his
friend Tries, and with 1,600 men marched towards
Coro, his native place, hoping to get that sea-port,
ill NS to receive there supplies of arms, Ao. But
he found it defended by eight hundred men, and
he did not venture to attack it
Soon after this the Government sent two expedi
tions, of de hundred men each, from here, and
three thousand men from San Carlos, on Baryclei
mete, which place, on their approach, was 0174-lIIII
ted by Tries, who managed to join Falcon, who was
also retreating.
The last news we have of Falcon ie, that he has
been joined by the assuain, Ezequiel Zamora, who
came to Barquisimeto one day after Falcon had
left, with only fifty men ; but he followed Trial,
and all three chiefs joined in the city of
Tocuyo, In the province of Barynisimeto. Since
then they have been retiring in the direction of
Barinas and Portuguese, pursued by five hun
dred men, under Generals Ramos and Rubin,
fhe retrating generale are trying to escape to
New Granada, with the large sums they are
said to have stolen at the places they here passed
through.
The troops left at Betimes and Ouanare, by Ere
yule' Zamora, after destroying those places, came
upon San Carlos and l'ao, 1, 1 304 strong, and attack
ed those places, which were courageously defended,
though by only a small Government force. But the
Vandals were repulsed with considerable less.
Their leader was a man named Arengerea. Another
party of them met a few Government troops only
eine miles from Valencia. The Government chief
officer, Valenti's., was killed, and this so infuriated
his men that they fought desperately, killing, as
reported, 300 of the enemy, and themselves losing
about fifty.
It is calculated that since the civil war began
(at the time the Convention met in Veleeels) forty
thousand men have been killed in this country.
This Cannot be called an exaggeration, when it is
coneldered that nine thousand have been killed in
the provinces of Burins and Portuguese alone.
As soon BA the news reached Ban Felipe (in the
province of Farscuy, on our borders) that Falcon
was flying from Barquisimeto and Coro, the Fide
r:.l troops and authorities abandoned the city,
which was immediately occupied by one Lundred
and fifty Government troops. But on the 23d of
November the Federalists returned end attacked
the ,city. They were, however, repulsed by the
Constitutionalists.
In Carvers.% Barcelona, Laguayra, Guinean, and
La Victoria, the Federalists have been beaten by
the Conetitutionalists. The Government, which is
perhaps too honest for the country, has the sym
pathy of all good citizens. Amid all its difficulties,
it has paid two instalments of the foreign debt.
amounting to £OO,OOO sterling. This has been re
mitted to England within 'less than a year, while
during ten years of the reign of Monagas, not a
farthing was sent.
All the foreign merchants are in favor cf the
existing Government, which is heeded by two of
the most honest men to be found anywhere—Don
Manuel Felipe de Toyer and Don Petro Goal. X.
