Sometimes: Ahe_ diminution , during the

to spoliations by rebel cruisers; but _this
is not correct, for the 'Rebellion took so
much tonnage as the Southern States hid
out of the computation, and took the car
rying of Cotton and other Southern pro
ducts from'NOtthern ship-owners. • There
was an absolute shrinkage in the amount
of material - to be transported, and vast
numbers of commercial vessels were sold
to 'the Government' Sometimes = -the '

prOtective features of the tariff But the
tariff remains as stringent as •at any

protective tariff the cgatry has ever had

so fraudulently invoiced as -not to 'show

WREN the Great Eastern was building
all sorts, of grand results were predicted
for her, and American ship builders—for
in those days Anterlea bailt steamshins—
Vowed that if the big ship were fi
success, they would construct ships
thrice as large. But, when ilhe
vessel was 'completed; and after
she had 'been fairly tried, her proprietors
and the world at large Acknowledged re
gretfully.. that she was not a success.
Like an untrained l elephant, she would
not do what her owners wanted of her,
and was besides 'eiipnnously expensive:
So the Leviathan kept changing hands
frornlime to time, no company being
strong enough to hold her:long, -and no
use being found for her until the time
came to lay the Atlantic cable, in the bot
tom of the sea; then the monnteetimission
was discovered. Perhaps with no other
ship afloat could that work -hare been so
successfully accomplished, because none
other is so steady on the water or has so
great a stowage capacity. That work
was done, and now the Great EaSterti
is engaged in laying the so•called French
cable. When that shall also be completed
no doubt other similar woik will be found
for the great ship to do, for, she has no
equal in that line. Her officers and men
have much experience, and will have
more_inthis peculiar work, and if the lay
ing of cables there, will not probably soon
bean-'Send. Before the century is out,
their name in the Atlantle ocean will be
LegiOn, and it is not improbable that one
or more will connect China or Japan;with
our Pacific coast. •
A FEW DAYS ago, in view of the con
solidation Of the Pan Handle and Fort
Wayne railroads with the Pennsylvania,
we 'urged the importance of having sta
tioned at this point an officer armed with
ample atititerity to decide 4111 questions
arising between municipalities as well as
citizens and the mammoth dorpOration.
Of course, our intention was not to reflect,
in any degree, upon the competency and
faithfulness of the officers of the Company
stationed. 'here, they. are _ all excellent
men. in the places they occupy; or even
•
for higher places. But we tooka broader
aunty of the field, and one which, sooner
or later, will be recognized, by the Coth
pany and the public, aethe correct 'one,
or, at least, in the right direction.
In was announced in these col
yesterday that, in consequence of the
consolidation of the Michigan - Southern
and the Lake Shore Railroads, the prin.
cipal °file° of the combined company will
be removed from Chicazo to Cleveland—
the President alone i remaining in the old
location. This movement is not instiga.
ted 'by "ignorance," as a foolish writer in
a coteniporary journal'said of our sugges
tion for ampler railroad authority to be
located here; but proceeds from a just and

THE Cincinnati Commercusd says:
It is true that the Commissioner of In
ternal,Revenne applied to Mr. Smith, of
the - Gazette,' and Mr. Halstead, oof the
Coniniercial, to make out a list of revenue
officers for 'the Hamilton County Dis
tricts, and that's list was orepered as re
qubsted,,and forwarded in a confidential
letter. The - next thing was, the personal
influence of General Weitzel secured the
appointment of his brother as Collector
in the First District, instead of John J.
Hooker, who had been recommended by
the editors; and the influence of the Pres
ident's parent, Jesse R. Grant, retained
Mr. Stoma, though the editors had ,re
commended Colonel Kennett. - In the
SeCond Dibtrict the appointments were
made accordieg to the list prepared at
the requestsof Mr. Delano.
The Cincinnati press concur in the be
lief that a copy' of this confidential letter
and list has in some way been procured
from the Revenue Bureau, and will soon
be mule pbblic.

with the leaders of the proposed cele- -
bration of the Fourth of Jtily, on Sun=
day beg to state that , they held an
interview` With the Committee of Ar

and had a frank discussion of the ques
tion at issue,
Subsequently, the following corre
spandetiee pasaea between us:
..The committee of citizens appointed by
a trieetirik held in Allegheny June lsth,-
ISB9, to confer with that Ention of our
German fellow CiLl7.olls o propose cel
ebrating the coming 4th of July, our
great national holiday, on the Sabbath,
and to remonstrate against their so doing
would respectfully present the following
considerations to said Germans, through
the it , 'recognized committee:
We claim to be Christisd men, Rota
-
Sited by Christian principles, and to re
piesent the views and feelings of the
Christian-community of Allegheny coun
ty. .As each: we revere the Sabbath as
an appointment of God, and cau but re
gent the prtipotied taenninetration as a
Violation of the lewofOod which requites
the Sabbath to be kept holy, yet we ao •
-
cord to all what we claim for ourselves,
religious:liberty, to worship God r or not ,
worship, obey His commands' or not,
obey. in all this we do not admit fat a
moment that any man has a right to dis
obey God, but only that we are not his
judge in the premises. .Yoti say that no
religious ,sentiment should enter into
this qaetition. We direct your. attention •
to Washington's farewell Milieu for this
sentiment: "Reason and expifrien4e both
fbrbid nsto expect that national. morality
catipievall in exclusion of religious prin
ciple." We do not however,. that
from the formation of our Government
the Christian Sabbath has been "recog
nized by thecommon law of the land, and
protected by:special legislation; that thin
law and legislation is sauoloned and ap
proved by an' overwhelming majority of
the bitizens et the United States and the
State of Pennsylvania, and by not less
than ulne.tenthatof the people of Atte
gbeiay, Pittsburgh and the entire county . -
of Alit ebony. We do not claim, more
over, that the Fourth of July is an Ame
rican holiday. national in its character,
commemorative of a great national
'hvent. its` observaticerptilitical and n.
tional rather •thanteagions, hence - its
right -observance, wholly incongruous
with the quiet of the'Sabbath; that this
filet is recognized by the common law of
the land, and by,special. legislation, con
sequently when the. Fourth of July has
falien on the Sabbath, it has always been
observed on the,6th, the 6th being recog
nized as the legal holiday. i Thlrfact we
hold is timontrovertible. We further
claim that the proposed demonstration
by German sooleties on the Sabbath,
July the 4th, will be a violation of our
rights as citizens to the enjoyment of a
quiet Sabbath, and jeopardize the Peace
of the oommoinity. That, to tag the least,
It wilt wake up antagonisms; pemonal
and of races, which of all things &veto be
avoided In a Republican government
; like! ours; where the majority-govern.
That other Violations of the Sabbath, per
haps biltitilly
li agrant, have been passed
over in silence eters not the Case. Two
'wrongs never make one rightf and this
demonstration, we hold, will not only be
a violation of the Sabbath but an insult
to ourzationel independence. Thus it
will be regarded, and hence the danger
to which we have referred. The plea of
patriotic' motivea, true or false; will
be" accepted. • The otimmiiiiity: will. re
gard it as a direct and intended' insult,
relishing and national. That we „express.
the views and sentiments of the vast ma-;
jority of the people of all creeds and na
tionalities, you cannot doubt, they have
been expressed- through the press„
through the Meeting we represent,
through the Grand Jury of the
county of Allegheny, and by 'the
authorities of the city where 'yon"
propose making this. ..,denzontstra

JOHN'S. SLAGLE,
JOHN F. JENNINCO,
THOS. J. HOSKINSON,
JAMES PARK, JFt.
To Messrs. John S. Slagle, John F. Jen
nings, Thomas F. Hoskinson and James
Park, Jr., Committee: '
GENTLEMEN: Your commilication.
which was handed in on the 28 h inst., ,
,
has been duly received and it 4 contents
cordially weighed by our Committee.
We will not here enter intoa lengthy
argument on the abstract questions
which might be brought to bear against
the proposed celebratio of our common
'national anniversary . We are of the'
opinion that this anni
same
should be
celebrated in the same way we use to
celebrate our personal birthdays, on the
very day and sot ono dSy before or after.
We are furthermore otthe opinion that'
no day is too holy to celebrate the birth
of a nation whicti,\PY the suppressed na
tions of the earth,' is regarded as the
pharos of political and religious liberty..
With Jesus of Nazareth we believe that
the Sabbath was made for man and not
man for the Babbitt'.
WI are kind enough to say' that our
patriotism in regard to this celebration
was "bogus," 'only a pretext. It may be
very pions to say of others that which is
not Mr and justifiable, and we leave to
you all the benefit of it. Yet ,we cannot
pass'over said attack in silence and must
respectfully protest against it; \ With , the
Milt propriety we might say that' we
regard the closing part of your ,commu
nication as hypocritical, believing that
you would do your best, underhand, to
create bitterness and raise disturbances
against onr celebration. But we will not
imitate the bad example, as there harks
been already too many appeals to pas
sions in this controversy—not from our
side, however.'
You say that there was special legisla
tion regarding the celebration of the
Fourth when it happens to fall on Sun
day. If so, we would wish to• have it
pointed out.
After all slurs and insults heaped upon
us without just cause, we see no good
reason to depart from uur original reso
lution.. We intend to celebrate our na
tional holiday in a dignified and solemn
manner, by a peaceful procession, read
ing of the Declaration of Independence
and orations, not by firing of cannons
and fireworks, drunken debauchery and
all that sort of things. We will keep
strict order, and from the very first be
ginning of the movement have not for a
moment thought of Interfering with the
just righhr—or, as they. were styled by
SOME, of Vitt gentlemen on a — former
occasion, - - • the prejudices of the
church-00s. Io fadt, most of us
will attend divine service before
joining the national:celebration. Rettig
ion will be in less danger from us • than
from those who, by their over zealous
and fillintie,plety, , are apt to deter their
fellow.eititens.• • : •
-"Believe WI, gentlemen, that we feel no
animosity, no enmity, against those who
differ from us in opinion. We have no
intention of destroying the true sanctity
of the Sunday and we cannot see how
this could be done by a patriotic
demonstration, kept strictly within
the boundaries of that highest authority
for all citizens—Chrlstians, Heathens,
Jews or Mahomedans—the taw of the
