THEIRS Poch wu the utterance of thin what of French•' statesmen the other day, in reply to the - taunting Inquiry of a free trader, whether he Wished to build a Chi- nese wall mond France. America needs protection far more than France for many reasons. The wages of labor are higher here than In France, and those more generous rates every right minded man whams to main teln. The rates of interest upon capital are higher in this country than in Eu rope, and will stecesurily continue so for years to come. Our national industry is but partially established, leu so than that of France, aid has not acquired strength uidlcient to-compete with the huge estab lishments of Europe, where capital is cheap because it is so abundant, and wages are low because the people are so numerous. M. Tame has expressed the true uses of Protection; and his words apply quite as iirell to our country as to France, and even betfer, IE4 wo adopt them as our own. We wish to maintain the mann- !entering Industry of our own country where it is, and to create it mhos it is not. We wish to maintain It here in Pennsyl- TIM', In Pittsburgh, where it is largely developed, and to create it in the West and the South, where there are boundless .undeveloped resources. We are sorry to see the farmers of our magnificentwestern States toiling for nought and exhausting their soil, in a vain endeavor to feed pet). file who live so far away that it costs more than they can afford to reach them; and we tell the farmers of those States that Pennsylvania can better afford to dispense with protection than they can. Oar industries aro established, and .we have the people to run them; and If the proprietors =not afford to keep their works in operation at the schedules of wages now ruling, the working people, rather than be idle, will be obliged to work for less. This would be bad for Penn sylvinth to be sure; but it would not be so impoissithing as it is to sell wheat at less tharilt costs to raise IL In such a state of things as that It were folly to hope that manufacturing industries would be created where they are not; and western farmers would have to be content to delve away at their overdone occupation, and 'offer a set of middle mm to pocket what Mile profit there may be in It. Were the people of New England to declare for free trade . there would be some minx in it; for then, if they Pould have their way, they might hope to inain thin themselves in the position to which "sir energy and skill have already l-theth..._ They would have no west ern compeutoorte tear. but ICie the pie of the food-producing States to take that side of the question, and leave all their grand resources undeveloped save one, is the blindest Infatuation that ever was known among an enlightened peo ple. And we think the astute people of' ' the Eastern States are beginning to look at the question from that selfish stand point. At the late Republican Conven tion in Connecticut a resolution was adopted In favor of " a tariff for revenue, • but to be so devised as to relieve labor, encourage Industry; and geoid snineflun ing caonopolia." • Now let the West istonish the authors of that namby pamby utterance, with its demaiognish raving clansi, by a bold, frank declaration for Protection for the 'rake of protection, far protection because It a needed to multiply industries "and create them wheie they , are not;" and then let them go to work and make themselves independent of both Old and New England, and by so doing render monopolies impossible. We are pleading for the whole country, not for Pltteleugh or for Peemsylvfnise for;is we said before, Pennyelvenla can stand the devetrons results of free trade better than any Btate lying to the west of hertan;—but if we open the floodgatei still wider, by cutting down the duties Open &ports, the most disastrous results are sure to ensue. Our debt to Europe is now fifteen .hundred Millions of dollars, and Is increasing daily even 'under our present tariff. Nothing but bankruptcy and ruin need be expected if what little check we have Is to be weakened. , Why, it may be asked, do not home in dustries multiply more rapidly than they do under the protection which they now enjoy t Thii question is easily answered. It is because of this Incessant agitation. Prudent men will not risk large masses of capital upon works which, for aught they know, may be rendered iraltutless by an act of the very next Congress. On this . point we might say to out, govern ment, an the dying - pettierelreeld to one of his sons: "Unstable as water, thou shall not excel I" England, for ono hundred and sixty years, was as stable as a rock on the policy of protection, and she did e - iier, ,as are all know. Stability, with as much protection as will balance the different conditions of other countries and our own, is what is needed. It the government will only cling firmly and steadily to the principle of protection, and avow it, the adjustment of the details of the system will cause no alarm.

He had been blown from the top of the hur ricane roof down to the lower deck. • He was still conscious, and his' first words were concerning the safety of the passen gers. Engineer McDermott was found out side of the engine room door, frightfully scalded from head to foot, the flesh hang ing In shreds. He was Still COSSCIOIIIS, and when placed upon his feet walked toward the bow of the boat. He died about midnight, in great agony, at the rosidence of /nrs. Oliver, at Oliver's Landing. . • The clerk was not seriously injured. He was aiming up from - the lower deck at the time of the explosion. His face is badly scalded by steam. Mrs. Derr, daughter of Capt. Rees, one of the owners of the boat, was in the office,.and was pitched several feet Inter the cabin. She was injured, but not se. 1 riously, about the head and face; she made her way to the pilot house, and was cared for by the pilot and assistant, Messrs. Hanland and Jones. Mrs. Suydam, her sister-in-law, who was In the texas, received slight bruises about the head and face. She also rushed to the pilot house through:the thick vapor. , "The passengers, among whom were I several ladies and children, were put safe. ly upon the bsrge.in tow, whence they were soon conveyed to the residence of I Mr. Oliver, near Oliver's woodyard, to whom the sufferers are greatly indebted for care and attention.

Polygamy la Poughkeepsie Just In the outskirts of Poughkeepsie lives a man by the name of Warren, who for years has enjoyed a plurality of wives, much to the disgust of the entire neigh borhood. Warren many years ago mar ried a young lady, and for yeses _they lived on in perfect harmony, but one day she sickened, and she and her friends supposed she would die. /At this crisis, she became anxious about the welfare of) her husband, and busied herself in seleet-' ing her successor, who was to .share with Warren the joys of matrimnoial • bliss. This difficulty she at last overcome by se letting a woman she thought worthy to follow in her footsteps. Once settled in her mind, she desired the twain to be made one flesh, even be fore her death, that she might be made happy in her last momenta. They were accordingly married by her bedside, and the sick woman, having her heart's wish gratified, turned over to die, Bnt It was not to be, for she, much to the astonish ment of all the parties, rapidly grew bet ter and soon alter recovered her_luAlth, , only to find her husband given away to another. This wasznore than the *roman bar: gained for, hot the two females fixed up the matter, and it was agreed that they would live together in harmony In the same house, and thus they lived for bears. Both women raised afamlly of children ; one hsd six and the other five. SoMe of p•••••• "p man and women at the present time., About six months ago the women quar reled, and the husband was called on to settle the difficulky, but he espoused the cause of the youngest wife, and it was determined on by the two to get the old wife out of the house, which was speed ily accomplished, and she is now doing housework in the neighborhood, while the second wife enjoys the bed and board that was one hers. The Tiesynry hafstigallon There seems to be no question as to the final disposition of the investigation whirls is now being held with reference to the management of the State Treasury for ten years past. Several unsuccessful attempts were made during the week to continue the testimony. .A majority of the Com mittee have decided to call the State Treasurers in the Inverse order, and not to call General Irwin, who is next In or der, until Mr. Mackey is done with. As the gentleman has had a herculean task of making a lot of tabular statements showing the monthly condition of the Treasury since his Induction placed upo him by the Committee, he hasbeen unable to appear this week, but.lms stated that he will be ready on Tuesday next. The minority of the Committee, Messrs. White and Brooke, have endeavored to hanathe interim occupied by the other State Tres sewers being placed upon the stand, but they have failed. There is no doubt at all that Messrs. Irwin, Remble, McGrath and Moore will positively rel use to answer all questions with reference to the dis position of the funds during their regime, and this will virtually put a stop to all proceedings. The public would be great ly benatted by Mr. Mackey being forced to state what constituted the Treasury when he took possession, but as many of our shining political lights, - both Demo matte and Republican, would be put in a decidedly unenviable position before their constituency, it is reasonable to suppose that this, as 11,1 a ; justly termed, "smell. ing" committee, will not press any such questions.

PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE : TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1E; 1870 Papal Infallibility The eminent Catholic scholar, Dr. Dolangur, I:0 written an 'open letter' in answer to the Bishops' Petition for the Declaration of Papal Infallibility, which we published, both in English and ID the original last week. The following Is an abstract of Dr. Dollinger's manifesto: The Bishops, he aye, are signing an address in which the Pope is besought, on the part of the Council to declare him self infallible. That mto say "180,000,- 000 of human beings are henceforth to be fsirced, by pain of excommunication, re- Mal of the Betio:mats, and everlasting Mumnrdion, to believe and to profess that which the Church hitherto has not bellei ed, nor taught." For it cannot be said' that those who have hitherto held the Pa pal infallibility to be a fact have /Wined in it. A. Catholic can only believe that which ho Is taught by the Church as it divinely revealed thing, as a thing sp. pertaining to the substance of the doctrine of salvation, as a thing beyond all and every doubt, and the refusal to &swept which Implies disobedience to be punish. ed by exclusion from the community. Btit in reality there Is not a idngle human cmature who ever , believed in it In this WAY, even as one would believe In *ad of the Trinity. The proclamation of this dogma, therefore, which at the very test, hits been agreed to by some, fills humane, ab. a thing of probability, would mean elating less than an alteration in the faith and doctrine of the Church, inch as his never been heard of ever since Christianity was first' founded. The whole foundation of the Church, in fact, would thereby be affected. Instead of, as has hitherto been the cue, a Catholic being, able to say, I believe in a certain thing, because the Church of all times bears witness to it—that Church, unto which belongs the promise that it shall ever remain in the posusslon of the truth— he will henceforth have to put, instead 9r that Church which compasses all tints anti all space, a single Individual : the Popo, to wit. Ile will have to my, I believe this or that, because_ the infallible Pope teaches it. And why is he infallible ? Because he says so himself. That Ultra] hundred bishom—whatever their number —have decreed in Rome in 1870 that the Pope is infallible matters very little, inas much u all bishops and every Council are subject to error without the help of the Pope. Their testimony has only as much value as he who Is alone exempt from error pleases to place upon it; and only inasmuch as he approves this their resolution Is there any validity In It. And, thus moving in a vicious circle, the whole matter resolves itself into the Pope's own testimony of himself. True, some 1,870 years ago, soma one higher has &aid, "If I testify to myself, my les trmony is not to be believed.' Wonderful ['nye'cal Phininnena. That celebrated physicist, Dr. Priestly, while experimenting with electricity, casually illuminated ono of his angers, so as to make it perfectly transparent. the curious phenomenon was noted In his journal,, , though it does not appear to hive excited any thriberinquiry. About two years ago, under similar circumstan ces, the no less celebrated philosopher, 1)r. W. B. Richardson, of London, Illu minated nearly the whole of his band. This strange fact was published in the London Lancet, and copied generally in all the scientific-journals throughout the world. Recently. Dr. Thomas Nicholson of New Orleans, has pursued this wonder ful fact'still farther, and with considers. ble success. By the aid of the powerful incandescent light or an oxy, -hydrogen blow pipe or calcium light, and large magnifying knees, he has succeeded in completely illuminating the whole hand, the body of a frog and other substances. From the successful experiments already made, it would appear that for the entire illumination of the body It is only neces sary, that the lights be eutlisiently vivid and the lenses sulliciwtly powerful. If the whole internal ton very of the hu man system could thus be brought direct. ly wader the Inspection of medical prac titioners, the advantage to science and to humanity would be incalculean.7, Every person will remember the seml.tranapar. eat appearance `of the hand, when held between the eye and a powerful light, and If the vision be aided by artificial appliances there Is no difficulty in Imag ining all Immense Increase of our clair voyant powers. We may thus be enabled to discover atructural and functional ailments' which are now wholly bidden trout human sight, and apply remedies with an'exact knowledge of what we de. sire to accomplish.—N..

Children are killed by the manner in whlch they are dress ed , and by the food that Is given them, as Much as by any other causes. Infahts of the most tender age, in our changeable and rough climate, are left with bare arms and legs, and with low-neck drama...

Toe Miners' Journal gam that accord. Ing to the °Metal report, 57 men were killed in the collieries of Schuylkill county from Moy 1 to December 111,1869. This la about one man to every 67800 tons of mml mined. hilnety.one persons were injured—one to 42,400 tons of coal. Taking the whole year in the name pro portion, it would give 72 person'. killed donne' the year and 115 inured. Ne of report has been kept of the unmake of ilia injured that afterward died. About ono 'Lath of the injured persons have dted, which would g ive the' number of deaths caused by casualties in 1889 at 91, leaving 96 injured that survived, and the product of about 4,888,000 tone. Of . the tbethe-aryatest number, 22, -were by falls bf cold. Four died by ex. plosion of gas, and nine by explosions of powder. Three were crushed by cam. Of the injured 21 were wounded by falllug coal; 36 by explosion of gas, and nine by explosion of powder, eight being crushed. Thirty women were left widows, and over 182 children orphans. In all the mines of England, Budged and Wales there were 1,011 deaths In the year 1867. This was equal to one for 1011,000 tons of coal mined. Falls in the roof kill more than the explosion of tlresdamp. These statistics are some of the data on which the proposed legislation for the safety of miners in Pennsylvania Is to be based: BISCILLTARY Fecu thinks the passage of Mr. Shertaan's resolution would sireply molt In a war with Spain, as the recog. talon of an actual state of war in Cuba by this Government permits the Spanish Government, under the treaty of 1705, to make search on the high sensor all Amer lean VetSOO, which right they undouht. edly would exercise. Mr. Nish does not believe that the mere recognition of bel ligerent rights would result In an lmme ado declaration of war by Spain, but That -war will eventually come out of it by Spain &yelling herself of authority; under the treaty of 1705, tb search vessels, and In other ways do acts to which Americo' citizens would not submit. It scans probable that the whole Influence of the Administration will be used to prevent the adoption of Sherman's resolution, If it be favorably reported upon by the Ben. ate Committee on Foreign Relations, which, (wroth° best Information that can be obtained, is not likely to be done. All the Information received at the State De partment from Cuba Is alike. in saying that the insurrection Is - slowly dying out.
