A MELANCHOLY MISTAKE.
Mrs. H. B. STowir. has -lent a name
until now illustrious in letters, to the
propagation of a shameful scandal which
can never, by any possibility, be either
substantiated or disproved; If her mo
tive was chivalrous, her achievement is
eminently Quixotic. Whatever of gen
erous sympathy she may have , felt with a'
suffering and wholly_ blameless woman,
five minutes of careful'reflection, or an
half hour of discussion with some careful
and judicious friend, would have saved
her from a mistake which bids fair to be
fatal to her professional repute, and which
must always be deplored by a very con
siderable proportion of that cultivated
world whim in reading her books has
learned to admire the womaxi.
What unfortunate afflatus could have
inspired her thus to associate her own
honor of name with the recital of a nar
rative so shocking in particulars as en
tirely to forbid its discussion or even its
perusal in the presence or hearing of any
woman whom we respect? What an un
profitable Q4ixotism, when we con sider
that every fact essential to a proper judg
ment upon her story is buried forever in
an impenetrable oblivion! How utterly
superfluous the attempt to darken with
additional, odium—even a. crime so vile
as that upon which she now asks the
judgment of the world—the memory of
a man whose entire life was already
known as a flagrant defiance of Divine
Commandments, whose perverted genius
has made his own immoral worthlesSness
forvever memorable, and whose name
deserves perpetual execration, as that of
a seductive and shameless apolpgist for
almost every social vice and individual
iniquity! Mrs. Stowe need not have
besmirched her towti spotleas pen
in this business of painting any
blacker that incarnation of immorality.
Whether her story be true or false, it was
not enough that she herself believed it,
as certainly she did. She should have

The duty is $1.25 , Der, ton, gold. That
coal now sells afloat in; the Eastern.porta
at $9 per ton. Add the ditty, say $1,75
per ton, currency, to $8 pert ton for

the Picten miner. Remove the 'duty and
his coal would , stand him ati least $5,

superior to the Pictort coal, in quality,

frodirecent publications in the Cumber
jand'interests. that the latter are not -ap•
prehensive of any serious ill eonse
quences. On the contrary, it is possible
i thatthe effect might tend powerfally to
stimulate the production in the Maryland
coal.field.
The Baltimore and Ohio railway pol-
icy, in the matter of coal freights from
the mines to tide-water, has always pre
sented a notable contrast to that of the
Pennsylvania coal-carrieis. Since the
spring of 1866, the former has charged a
uniform rate of 11 cents per ton per mile,
being less than half the tariff on the
Reading Road. The Baltimore corpora
tion Witt been repeatedly urged by the
Pennsylvania interest to advance its
lutes, but declined, and will still decline
to do so. The effect of its ton ,tariff was
to build up a largely increased traffic,
the improvement in the ten months, end
ing July Ist, being nearly seventy per
cent. in tonnage. All of this coal
has ruled at a uniform price delivered at
Baltimore. The effect has been seen in
an almost complete exclusion of the spec
ulative element from the mining opera
tions of the Cumberland region, the busi
ness going forward with a healthy pro
gress and upon legitimate principles, and
yielding the largest extent of solid bene
fits not only to the carrier, but to the
coal owners and to the numerous oper
ative population in their employment.
Hence that district of Maryland presents,
in almost every social and business aspect,
the most agreeable contrast to the condi.
tion of affairs at present in our anthracite
counties.
Tan ANNEXED ARTICLE, from the
Nashville Prea, gives one a fair idea of
the sort of bed-fellows whom the Berner
Republicans of Tennessee have just taken
tip with: -
We learn, on high Conservative author
ity, that some emissaries of the Ohio De
mocracy, of the regular State Rights-Re
pudiation White - Man's- Government
school, were in the city last week to con
fer with the old Democratic leaders of
this State. It is said that the Buck
eye missionaries urged .upon their
brethren here 'to make the Leg
islature vote down the Fifteenth
Amendment, elect Johnson to the
Senate, and pitch overboard every
Republican State officer, from Supreme
Judges down to the lowest position, by
holding a revomtianary convention to
make a new Constitution. Republican
ism. by this programme, is- to be cut up
root and branch, and be superseded by
that political Canada thistle, known as
State Rights Democracy. Johnson is
urged for the Senatorship, not only as a
representative politican, but in a spirit of
defiance to the treat national Union sav
ing emancipating party, the Republican
organization. If the victory for free suf
frage is to be prostituted to the service of
the Democracy, the attempt cannot be
made aday too soon. There are thousands

have been guilty of equal folly. With the
exception of Hoffman, in New York, and
Roseanne, in Ohio, they have blundered
in almost every nomination made since
the close of the war. The Pennsylvania
nomination. on Tuesday, affords a strik
ing example. Thoy could bave had the

tHE UST WATER , r WEB OF NUM
[Correspondence of the itttsbugh Gazette.)
WATERVILLE, ME:, Aug. 10, 1869.
Pennsylvania has her exhaustless coal
beds; Maine her vast water power. : Were
her 3,000 mill privileges already found
occupied to their full extent, it would
give her nearly as many more compact
villages and large cities, and would in
crease her population to millions and
would change her name from Pine Tree
State to Spindle State. 'Extensive, profit
a'sle manufactures would take the place
of her decreasing , and profitless com
merce. s She would demand Protection
for her manufecturers instead of Free
Trade for her ships. The war was a se
vere blow to -the prosperity of Maine.
Before that time she was the second State
of the Union in tonnage; now her ship
yards are idle.
In this state of things her excellent
Governor most wisely secured the ap
propriation of a sufficient sum to make a
survey of the waterpower of the State
and' appointed the best person, Walter
Wells, to be found in this country for the
purpose. One interesting octavo volume
of the results has already appeared and a
second will soon be issued. From this
report it will be seen that Maine with her
226 miles in an air line, of sea coast and
her 3,000 miles of shore on which the
tide rises land falls, her pine forests fast
disappearing and .her ocean alive with
fish has other. resources. From her loca
tion in the rain draft from the Gulf of
Mexico arid from her being swept by rain
condensing winds from off the cold ocean
current, the rain fall is 42 inches, 10} inch
es each quarter of the year—while other
„sates enjoying a -lower latitude have a
"less' . quantity. Ohio has but 41 inches.
This gives Maine three trillion pubic feet
in mass of. water, 35 per cent of which
is poured back into the ocean by her riv
ers coursing her own territory for a few
miles, from lakes and ponds, in Some
cases 1600 feet above the level of the, sea.
The low temperature of the State, is at.
tended with far less wastekif the streams
than is experienced at the — hot season of
the year in other parts of the country.
The low run of the rivers of Maine is not
usually large. The cool fogareduce the
evaporation elsewhere conducted, most
vigorously during August, almost to
nothing. , This same cause—low temper
ature—retards the melting of snow in
spring, preventing the - destructive fresh
ets which are experienced in our own
State and in Ohio. For the same reason,
workers in mills and factories can accom
plish ten per cent. more than in - more
southern and interior districts.
From the 1,658 lakes within the bona
.daries of her river-basins and 2,400 square
miles of clacuatrine surface,—not includ
ing hundreds of minor ponds,—which
'serve as fountains and feeders of the
rivers, upheld at an astonishing altitude.
when we consider their proximity to the
sea, these waters rush to the sea - falling
sometimes great distances almost perpen
dicularly. The Androscoggin falls 1,250
feet in 150 miles, and at Rumford 163 feet
in one mile.. Her water-power is 2,52.5,-
000 horse power "a power that operates
day and night without cessation from one
century's end to the other, a power equal
to the working force of well nigh 5,000,000
ordinary horses laboring for the whole
twenty-four hours, or the force of :30,000,.
000 able-bodied men, likewise working
without intermission." Of this vast
power 1,000,000 horsepower is available.
"It burns up no fuel, eats no hay or oats,
or flour or meat."
In large esitablishments, where the coat
of manufacturing is less than fn smaller
ones, with coal at $6 per ton, manufac
turing cannot be produced by steam short
of $7O per 'annum for each horse power
of work done. Mechanical force, it is
said, can be realized on ordinary or large
water privileges at an outlay of $8 per
annum of each horse power of work
done. With coal then at $6 per ton the
cost of producing by steam an amount of
power equivalent to that at Waterville
would coat, it is estimated, at $500,000 per
annum; by water, including attendance
supplies and repairs in both cases, $5B,-
500. The total difference in the cost of
operating machinery by steam and by
water to the total amount of 34,000 horse
power in our medium tnlarge water priv
ileges is $2,097,000 per year. .300,000 of
this 1,000,000 horse power is already
accessible by rail or by steamer or coast
er. Here is a power almost beyond com
putation in all itsbearinas. How much
of it will ever be used remains to be seen
by coming generations. Lewistown,
Biddeford, Saco sand Augusta are exam
-3 plea of the results where this power is
employed in propelling machinery. S.
How the Yo Semite Valley was Formed
How was this curious freak of nature
formed? is a question that every visitor
qt least will ask.. It is a puzzte for the
imagination. andbaffles even the scientific
student. Prof. Whitney; of the State
Survey, discusses the question elaborately
in his admirable volume on the Yo Se
mite, the big trees, and the high Sierras,
which, with its maps, should, be the com
panion of every one who visits those
p l
regions. He rejects the idea of water
having. worn it out, or that it w the
work of a glacier, but concludes, the -
only practicable *imposition, that t ti bot
tom dropped, out! There is no oth r way
of accounting for what is gone b t that
it is sunk below. It is.not carried down
stream; it does not remain in the ley—
theie would be no valley if it di there
are bat comparatively small de sits of
rock in the valley under the w s, no
more than the waste by frost and ce and
wa t er of a few generations at th ' most;
and, indeed, there seems no other suPPO
- 'that meets the mystery t n that
the missing rocks are swallowed p' be
low. It would appear, too, as if Abe
chasm had not long been tilled pto its
present point, and that originaily, and
until within a cOmparatively recent pe
riod, the whole valley was e; great, deep
lake.. This is a peculiar theory—it tip•
plies but rarely to the strange forms of
nature scattered over the earth's surface
—but the Yo Semite is a peculiar phe
nomenon; it justifies indeed demands
a peculiar explanation, and no other fits
it so reasonably as this.
Tun question of the consolidation of
the Michigan Southern and Wabash
roads is ..diroussed by officials of- these
roads and of Erie, on condition that tne
Erie will not build anew line from Akron
to Toledo. Several other consolidation

GREESSBURth
Arrival of Governor Geary- —His Address.
[Correspondence of the Pittabareh Gazette.)
GREEI3I3BMIG, August 18, 1889.
DEAR Gazurra: At a late hour Mon
day evening Hon. John W. Geary, G9v
ernor of Pennsylvania, arrived at this
place. He came on private business, and
his arrival was entirely unexpected. At
the depot he was recognized by a Demo
cratic citizen and &inducted to the resi
dence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Logan.
His presence becoming generally known
he was called upon during Tuesday by a
large number of citizens, greeting all
' with his accubtomed warmth and cordi
ality, and talking freely of the issues per
taining to the present political canvass.
He was in prime health, and looking ,
every inch the gallant soldier and die
tinguistied civilian.
REPUBLICAN MEETING.
The Republican County Committee be
ing in session at McQuaid's, it was deter
mined to bold a public meeting at the
Court House in the evening, at which
the Governor was. invited to deliver .an
address. At the appointed hour the
Court Loom was filled wlth an audience
of leading citizens, including quite a
number of the Democrat. Jacob F.
Kreps, Esq., candidate for\ Assembly,
was called to the chair, and\ Governor
Geary making his appearance was
introduced to the assembli\ and
received with warm applause. I will not
attempt more than the merest outline, of
his speech of an , hour and a half. He
spoke of having spent his youth on a far m\
In old Westmoreland, and remembering
associations of by-gone days, felt keenly
the abuse which had been eaped upon
him by the "Democratic clique" of
Greensburg. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, he had pursued his course undis
mayed, as he would to the end, acting - in
accordance with his convictions of right.
Turning his attention to the 'national
finances, he said that during the last year
of Andrew Johnson's administration the
public debt had been increaseff.s4o,ooo,-
000, while during the first five months
of Grant's official career the debt had
been reduced $43,000,000. He then re
ferred to the State finances and showed
that under Republican administration,
since 1860, the State debt, left as a legacy
of Democracy, had been reduced largely,
and would continue to be larger inpropor
tion if the same administration was con
tinued. The Democracy talked of the
extravagant expenditure of money, and
their leaders appealed to the farmers and
laboring class to throw off the yoke of
oppression, in the way of taxes, which
was weighing them down and robbing
them of hard•tarned money. The Gov
ernor inquired of any Democratic
firmer, laborer or tenant present, how
much tax he paid to the State, and an
swered for them, that they did not pay a
dollar and bad not, since the Republican
BdtBiRIBUSIIOR took off the tax on real
estate. transferring to railroads, banks,
and other corporations granted special
privileges. This unquestionably was
news to the Westmoreland Democracy,
but doubtless at their next meeting the
Governor's truthful statement will be
characterized as a "Republican lie," and
be so regarded by the "faithful" but ig
norant, dyed in the wool Democracy. It
is to be hoped that the coming genera
tion will be more enlightened, since all
hope of converting the present race of
Westmoreland Democrats. Those who
have grown gray in voting that ticket,
must be given up as a hopeless task.
The Governor went over the whole
ground, rather hurriedly, refuting the
misrepresentations of the opposition in
regard to his administration, proving
most conclusively that he had done more
than any of his predecessors to check
special legislation, and also that he had
been infinitely more considerate in the
exercise of the pardoning power. This
portion of his speech, particularly as to
the pardoning power, could have been pe
culiarly appropriate bad it been addressed
to a Pittsburgh audience, and on this I have
a word or two to say, suggested by a con
versation with an attache of the Execu
tive Department.
GEARY'S PARDON.
Much has been said in Pittsburgh re ,
cently, concerning one of the Governor's
pardons. I will not mention names, ash
is unnecessary. That pardon, I venture
to say, was as strongly recommended or
urged as any ever granted to an- Alle
gheny county offender, and were the
public there advised of the nature of the
recommendations made. and by whom,
both by petition and in person, by county
officers, Senators and representatives
pleading at the Executive desk,
in the Executive chamber, I feel
quite sure some mouths would be
most effectuallystopped, and the
innocent, uninformed people be amazed
at the Governor's firmness in hesitating
for a moment to refuse the pardon. Even
the individual who welcomed the noto
riety acheived by the circumstance of a
bullet grazing his leg, and who now, to
the outward seeming, in subserviency to
the opposition,. - feels outraged that the
desperado who assailed him should es
cape. wrote repeatedly beseeching clem
ency in his behalf. After what .I have
been made aware of in connection -with
this matter. I have no patience to write
further about it, and out of regard for
some political friends as well as enemies;
your correspondent will •"dry up," on
the pardon question.
mortoot SPEAKS.

October, and-pandemonium- opened for
an hour, a hundred thousand dead rebels
would come north and shout glad tidings.
He did not believe any such calamity was
held in store by the Almighty, and as
serted most confidently , that , a "copper
head" could not be elected Governor
while he (Thomas J.) was alive. He
went for Asa's "record," and related
among other things the tact that at the
6barleston Convention Asa threatened to
"whale" Bill Linn, a Douglass man, for
saying that the other set of Democrats
were traitors: He spoke tenderly of the
Westmoreland • Democracy, they were
princely good fellows, and incorruptible.
He omitted the word"copperhead" out
of regard for them, the more so as he

The Detroit Tribune has a letter from
Casson°lie, Michigan, dated August 6th,
which contains the following.f
"Yesterday was a great day for Cass
county. More than ten thousand citizens
of this and the neighboring counties as
sembled upon the shores of Birch Lake
to commemorate the abolition of slavery
in the West Indian Islands. John M.
Langston, of Ohio, the colored lawyer,
was the centre of attraction to the large
company that listened to his oration for
more than an hour and shall. But to the
stranger who came with something of
doubt as to the success of the negro, and
intent upon criticism, this meeting was
an nnlooked for success; and the order of
things in the surrounding country, the
satisfactory solution of a question that to
many has been somewhat problematical.
"A. full third of this multitude were
the owners of many thousands of acres
of the fairest land in Cass county. In
the township of Calvin they are pos
sessed of nearly one•half of the real es
tate, and pay little less than half the taxes.
They have established a number of excel
lent schools, conducted by colored teach
ers. The building of two fine churches
\r-Methodist and Baptist—is the best
Roof that they have not neglected moral
and religious culture. They have good
instructors in instrumental and vocal
must& and support a fine brass ban& We
found here several men of liberal culture
from Oberlin and Hillsdale Colleges, and
one from \ our own State University.
These young men are engaged in the
practice of medicine, the mechanic arts
and in the dry`geods trade. They own
and run steam sawmills and steam thrash
ing machines; they are manufacturing E,
grain cradles and rakes, growing superior
live stock, cultivating\fruits and produc
ing hundreds of acres of the finest ,grain.
They are not merely air imitative peo
ple, but ingenious, Belt-reliant, positive
and progressive, and will. bear favorable
comparison with their white neighbors in
ail the legitimate relations of life. Mer
chants and mechanics through all this
region bear the highest testimony to their
worth and promptness in business affairs.
Daring a three weeks' visit in this part
of the country, your correspondent has
failed to detect the first instance of idle-,
ness •• or loaferism among them. They
\
purchase lands, clear away dense forests,
build homes and highways and churches.
subscribe for newspapers, magazines and \
railroads; educate their ildren, sing the
sweet songs of labor. love and home, and
worship God with an evident conscious ,
ness that these are as much the aims and
purposes of their life, as of their fair
haired Saxon neighbors, and not a sub
:ect of wonder and sur prise . to th e many
who have doubted their ability for self
sustenance.
