Free Trade Falsehoods. The lead
ers of the Democracy in the Xorlh, have
always dodged the question of the tariff,
when it was squarely put before them.
Though some few were willing and anxious
to show their hands, they were generally
kept quiet by party discipline. But occa
sionally, they became emboldened, and in
order to make a little capital, they some
times, incautiously, showed the cloven foot,
by the publication of articles favoring free
trade, such as appeared in the North'!
Co. Demonrat of last week, under the title
of "How the Teople arc Taxed." The
article referred to, was taken from the Cio
cincatti Enquire r, a regular free trade pa
per, and like mofl of the arguments of free
trade advocates, is made np of fiction, per
version of facts, with an occasional sprink
ling of truth, as wc will show. The article
proceeds as follows :
HOW TnE TEOPLK ARE TAXED.
Our tariff duties are purposely made ob
scure, so the people will not kuow how
they are taxed. A gentleman previously
engaged in commerce, who understands
the subject has taken the trouble to com
pute for the Cincinnati Enquirer what the
duties are on a few leading articles Look
at the list :
rnr. roon mas is taxed.
lr cent.
On his salt 108
On his pepper -. HO
On the sheets of hi bed - - 55
On the blankets that cover him 340
On the carpet be buys 80
On a dreM of silk lor his wife f0
On a dress of woolen J 00
On his bandaw 75
Could ingenuity go further in singling
out those persons the least able to bear
taxes for oppressive imposition ? The ne
cessaries of life are taken the highest
Now we ask in turn, could barefaced im
pudence and deception go further in party
Journals in their attempts to impose upon
and deceive their readers? We have before
us the revised statutes of the U. States,
just published, in which the entire tariff
bill, now In force, is published. In that, we
find the tariff on salt is 8 cts per hundred
pounds, or about five cents per bushel, in
stead of 108 per cent, as above slateC. On
pepjer it is 5 cts per pouud. instead of 140
per cent On tbe "sheets of his bed,"
the tariff is 5 cts per square yard, and the
Cincinnati merchaut knows, if he knows
anything, that cotton sheetings are produc
ed and sold in the United States at a lower
price than in any other part of the woilu,
and that no tax whatever is paid on this
article. On blankets the duty is-about
50 per cent, instead of 2 40 as above stated.
""On silk, it is true, the duty is GO per cent,
but we have yet to learn that silk is one of
tbe "necessaries of life" and used by per
sons "least able to bear taxes." On wool
dress goods the duty is about half as above
quoted. On the handsaw the duty is 41
cts instead of 75. We have only referred
to a part of tbe list, but enough to show
the design of the writer and the untruth
fulness of bis statements.
But tbe meanest part of the business is
the attempt to make their readers believe
that the duty is so much tax on the consu
mer, whereas many manufactured articles
sell for less than the duty imposed. For
instance, the sheeting already referred to,
and calicoes, on which there is a duty of 7
to 6 cts per yard, sell in the market at prices
ranging from 7 to 10 cts. Some years ago
a free trade orator stated at a mass meet
ing, that every mechanic who wore a shirt,
paid 8 cts duty or tax per yard, for the
muslin. A shrewd bystander interrupted
him by saying that the muslin of his shirt
only cost 8 cts per yard, and wanted to
know if the repeal of the duty reduced
it 8 cU more, what then would be left
for tbe cotton grower and the manufactur
er. Of course the free trader could not ex
plain. When the duty of 8 cts was first
imposed, muslin was selling at 25 cts, but
competition under the tariff, brought tbe
same muslin down as low as G cts, and
this is true of nearly all manufactured
articles.

How the Ring Economizes. When
the board of county auditors met, one of
them, Mr. Hottenstcin played "mule" and
gave as an excuse, that he did not want
the county to pay large sums for auditing,
that be favored economy, and wanted to
set an example for tbe future. sooner
had tbe majority audited the accounts than
Mr. Hottenstcin devoted sometime to get
ting np a minority report. The result was,
that the commissioners, to gratify the
'mule,' had to pay extra for its publication.
Xow Mr. II. comes in with a bill, full
time, for bimself.aud another for clerk hire
to assist him. We cannot see where the
economy conies in. Will the Democrat
explain ?
The school teachers of Ohio, at their
State Convention recenlTy held, startled
by tbe announcements ol such bold advo
cates of sectatian schools as the Freeman'
Journal, which recently declared : "Let
the free public school system go to the
devil, where it came from," and the. Boston
Tablet, which speaks of the religion of the
great majority of the American people as
"that hell-born ism whose only dogma is to
protest, and whose only worship is to hear
a fellow creature talk," unanimously pass
ed tbe following resolution :
tJtesolved, That we are in favor of a free,
impartial and unsectatian education to
every child in the State, and that any divi
sion of the school fund or appropriation of
any part thereof to auy religious or private
school would be injurious to education and
the best interests of the Church."
Defacxtinq Ca8Ui eh. M. M. Mock,
Cashier of tbe Ashland German Banking
Co., at Ashland, Schuylkill county, disap
peared suddenly for irts unknown. No
tice was put up on the door of the bank
that the directors deem it advisable to keep
the bank closed until a thorough investi
gation can be had of the affairs of the cash
ier. (I real excitement prevailed among
ihe workiugmen, who were depositors.
Tbe poor German people are the principal
sufferers.
WiEN a School Superintendent in Ohio
makes an address on education, and gives
special attention to the necessity of sustain
ing the common schools, the Democratic
papers charge him with introducing poli
tics Into his speech. This betrays their
consciousness that the preservation of the
chnol system 3 rpsilly a political issue.
Falsehoods of the Ring Manager.
We observe that the Democratic Ring
organ is agait resorting to deception, in
order to get the county offices under their
control. Last week an article appeared in
the Democrat as a reply to a paragraph in
the American of the 2ud inst, which for
unscrupulous lying, beats anything we have
seen for sometime. Any one conversant
with the doings ot the Ring, can tell that
the article was written by one who in the
past figured conspicuously in the Ring iu
deceiving the people of this county to get
into office. No one will pretend to deny
that office has been a beneGt to him, and it
was supposed that he would be content to
keep quiet in a princely palace obtained
through lucrative offices. But it appears
that since auother small office is tendered
him, his ambition is on the increase to re
establish the workings of the Ring some
years ago. It is not necessary to go into a
minute detail to show that the writer's
statements are not true, for every one that
has read the Auditor's report will readily
see that he perverts the figures and state
ments by the Auditors to deceive the pub
lic, lie states that there were 3G,000 of
assets to pay the 20,000 indebtness. But
docs not state the fact that there were
still S2G,000 assets remaining at the last
report, which can bo seen by reference to
the Auditor's report. Of course the Com
missioners paid the debt out of the assets.
No one will presume that they used their
own private funds. The difference was
that the Republicans collected the assets,
and paid the debt, while the Democratic
Commissiouers formerly left the money in
the hands of collectors, and paid interest
on the amount of the assets, and allowed
the collectors to speculate on the money.
He states that nine thousand dollars from
the land sales have never been accounted
for. The reason is, no doubt, thai no such
amount was ever paid over, and that the
lands are still for sale. A more unmiti
gated falsehoods could not have been as
serted. The money realized from land
sales is all accounted for in tbe report. Per
haps the writer has got mixed, and is
thinking of the land sales some years ago,
by Democratic Commissioners, who gob
bled up the whole amount, except about
one hundred dollars.
The writer asserts that there was an in
debtness of S11.000 left by the old board.
We would advise the tax-payers to look
at the last Auditor's report, and see wheth
er such an amount is reported there. If
there is, we are unable to find it, and if
Such a debt had existed, it is not probable
that the Democrats in the auditor board
would have covered it up. The fact is that
tbe writer in the Democrat has stretched
his imagination most wonderfully, as uot
a single statement be has made,corresponds
with the records. Such wholesale falsifica
tion is to be deplored, particularly when
hundreds are deceived and are made to
suffer from it. We cannot expect of course
that the Ring will resort to anything else
than deception, for they are determined to
secure the offices at all hazards, and if suc
cessful will mismanage as formerly. As to
there being no county debt established this
year, is all bo6h. There will have to be
better management than has been thus
far exhibited, or the tax-payers can expect
a debt from fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars. This debt caunot be attributed to
building many county bridges, or for any
other improvements that tbe Commission
ers have made, for they have not made
any.
The State Treasury. A majority of
tbe committee appointed by the last Legis
lature to examine into the Treasury de
partment at Harrisburg, have published
their report "up to date." The Fhiladel
hla Press says :
"The paper, on its own showing, reveals
the fact that while the State Treasurer
denied tbe right of the sot disant committee,
to enter his office, he freely and fully open
ed all his books and papers to tbe tbe gen
tlemen composing it, in their capacity as
citizens of tbe Commonwealth. The com
mittee then decline to inspect the records,
and go on to make up a report from other
sources t. t., they decliso original evid
ence and deliberately fill back on second
ary. This half-born conjmittee find as the re
sult of their labors that no money appears
to have been paid it to tbe State Treasury
on account of interest on the public funds
since 18G9. Of course not, nor before 18G2,
and the fact has been knowu to every in
telligent voter all the time. This is a
wrong, and should be remedied, and we
trust the next Legislature will euact a leg
islative remedy. It is not in Republican
abuse, however, as the committee bypo
citically intimate, but one inherited from
Democratic administrations.
Furthermore, we may note that these
bogus investigators carefully limit their in
quiries to a time subsequent to the dis
charge of the Democracy by the people of
the State. We arc purposely willing and
auxious to have a full, and fair, and ex
haustive investigation of the Treasury
vaults, books, papers, and all, but we insis;
that it shall go back of 18G2 as well as on
this side ot it that it shall include Demo
cratic Treasurers as well as Republican
that it shall cover the time when our debt
was steadily accumulated, as well as the
time when it was being paid off.
Postmaster General Jewell decides
that he will not permit any political com
mittee to assess contributions upon the
clerks in his department ; but that he will
neither forbid nor approve such assess
ments upon Postmasters and their j-lerks
throughout the country. They can give,
or not, just as they please ; but he assures
them that they will not be turned out of
office if they do not choose to give. This
is an answer to appeals made to him by
those upon whom assessmeuts.were levied
by the "Union Congressional Committee,"
at Washington, to whose unwarranted as
sumption of power, in making such assess
ments, we have before referred ; and the
Postmaster General is undoubtedly right.
Postmasters and clerks are at liberty to give
to any one they choose. The Government
puts no restraint upon their will in that
matter. But no one has a right to levy a
contribution upon them ; and their answer
to all such assessments should be that they
will give as they please, and xrhcrt they
please. The Government will see that
they are not punished for refusing to re
spond to the impudent demands of a self
constituted committee at Washington.
Somebody has figured out what the ex
pense of suppot ting the National Govern
ment has been to each voting citizen dur
ing the last six administrations. The ta
ble shows that under Polk (Democrat) tbe
expense per head was 2 05 ; under Taylor
and Fillmore (Whig), ?1 89 ; under Pierce
(Democrat), ?2 33 ; under Buchanan
(Democrat) , ?2 28 ; under Lincoln and
Johnson (Republican) , $ 4 ; unik; Grant
1 G9. That is pretty good showing for
Radical rult.'

Railroad has been re-leased to the Penn

TnE attack made on the free school sys
tem by the Democracy of Ohio is entering
largely into the canvass of that State, and
calling forth tbe most determined opposi
tion to that party from all quarters. It is
believed and openly charged that the De
mocratic party of Ohio is controlled by the
large Catholic element, and that its success
means the overthrow of tbe common Bchool
system. Wc would countenance no war
upon the religious belief of any one, as we
regard the freedom which this country ac
cords to all in matters of religion as one of
tlte proudest monuments of our glory , but
against all attempts to interfere, impede or
overturn the system of public schools, as
we now have it, we enter our most earnest
and emphatic protest, and promise to do
all in our power to prevent 4hem. The
following taken from the Cleveland Herald,
we find printed in the Cincinnati Gazette,
and we give it to our readers as an evidence
of the prevailing belief, that the success of
the Democratic party in Ohio means the
introduction into our politics of the secta
rian question of the division of the school
fund. We would regard the issue as an
unfortunate one, as it might tend to drag
into the controversy it would necessarily
produce, the sectarian or religious elements
of discussion. This we would deplore in
any event, as we would, be the last to en
gage in a warfare against the religious be
lief of any one ; but we must say that, if
the contest is brought on, it will not be
through any fault of the Republican party,
who merely say hands off our common
schools.' The following is the extract :
"The Democratic party may pass reso
lutions while their breath holds out, but the
people believe there is a coalition between
Democracy and Romanism ; they believe
Democratic resolutions are Jesuitical, and
that a special dispensation has been grant
ed the Democratic leaders to say what they
choose to deceive the people, and, believing
this, there is a fixed determination to re
buke the attempt to destroy our present free
schools by the introduction of any sectarian
religious element. This determination, as
the matter now looks, will secure the Re
publicans a marked victory."
The Philadelphia Sorth American says:
We have examined carefully the pages of
tbe Democratic organs of this State, and
we can find therein no arguments applied
to the conduct of affairs by the State Gov
ernment, no statement of a policy to be
apposed or advocated, no demonstration of
abuses to be corrected. It amounts then,
to this : that here is a powerful party
whose gaze is so fixed ou the local affairs
of the city of Philadelphia and the proceed
ing of the National Government that it
appears to ignore the business of this Com
monwealth entirely, and to have no policy
thereon that any intelligent man canre
cognize or discuss. Governor Hartranft's
administration has been in no sense a ne
gative one. (juefttions of importance have
arisen to demand his notice and they have
been manfully met He is renominated by
his party and both he and bis friends invite
a scrutiny of his record ; but no Democrat
or Liberal accepts the challenge. He is a
Republican and sustains the principles of
his party ; but there, too, the Democratic
patty abstain from discussion. I simply
assert that the Republicans have fulfilled
their mission, and in so saying the Demo
cratic party accepts finally the principles
of the Republicans.
TnE Erie Gazette says : "There are un
mistakable signs that the Republican party
is gradually recovering from the reverses
suffered at last year's election. Here in
Pennsylvania, where it was defeated by
the failure of a large number to vote at all,
the feeling appears to be excellent The
party is throughly united in support of its
nominations. Some few who have been
Republicans may bo led away by the Pro
hibition ticket, but the number is not like
ly to be so great as that of the Republicans
wbo voted for Buckalew in 1872 and thus
counted directly against us. There is no
doubt that the great bulk of the Greeley
men much prefer Republican to Democrat
ic ascendency in the State. Those who
profess to understand the political situa
tion express the fullest confidence in Hart
ranft's election next November."
The terrible flood of last year in Alleghe
ny City, Pa., was nearly repeated on Wed
nesday night A heavy rain overflowed
the sewers along Butcher's run, and the
water rushed along East street to a depth
of about three feet. The frightened people
fled from their houses to the hill-side, "and
for a time the air was rent with tho screams
of women and children." The flood, how
ever, soon subsided.
Parricide in York County. On
Saturday evening about nine o'clock Mi
chael Sloan shot his father through the up
per portiou of the skull, killing him instant
ly, at the residence of the family, near Sid
donstown, York count'. There had been an
altercation between the parties, both of
whom were intoxicated. The remains of
the mutdercd man were found on the porch
on Monday morning. The murderer has
been committed to the York county prison.
The Harrisburg Telegraph truthfully
says : The increased expenses of the
State and nation are mainly attributable
to the rebellion precipitated upon the coun
try by the Democratic party in the inter
est of tt.e slavocracy of the South. If the
Democratic party had been true to its
country during the winter of 18G0 ; there
would have been uo necessity for the large
taxation of to-day. The national debt is
the product of Southern Democratic trea
son and Northern Democratic weakness.
The American riflemen are doing some
brilliant shooting at Wimbledon, England.
Major Fulton won the shooting match for
the St Leger Swaepstakes, two hundred
yards, over several hundred competitors.
In a match on Monday Gildersleeve did
some fine shooUng, coining out two points
ahead of all competitors, making 08 out of
a possible 70 at six hundred yards. In a
match for the Rifle Association Cup, at the
same distance, Coleman made a score of
49 out of a possible oO, and Gildersleeve
followed with 4, leaving all competitors
behind.
Military Inspection. The clerks in
the Adjutant General's department, at
Harrisburg, are busily preparing for the
fall military inspections which will com
mence on the 2d of September, and con
tinue until all the companies in the ten di
visions in the State have been examined.
Adjutant General Latta and staff will be
present at all the inspections. There are
two inspections during the year, but that in
the spring is made by the several division
commanders.

The banks of New Jersey have taken

hundred shares have been taken by several
banks, while others have the matter under
consideration, aud are expected to respond
promptly. As New Jersey will be benefit

The Idle Saw Mills at William
sport. We stated a few weeks ago, in a
letter to this paper, from Williamsport, i
that the saw mills in that vicinity would
soon Im compelled to stop operations if the
water in the river would continue low.
Since then there has uot been a sufficient
rise in the streams above to get out timber,
and the result is that the mills about Wil
liamsport have run out of logs and are
compelled to stop sawing. Tho daily Ga
zette and Bulletin, of Wednesday, says :
"Owing to the scarcity of logs, almost
all the milla in aud around this city
have either been closed down or are on the
eve of doing so. The last log was taken
out of the boom over ten days ago, and un
less a flood should come, there will be no
more sawing done this season, after next
week. A few mills are yet running, but
their stock is nearly gone.
B. II. Taylor & Son will cut out their
stock by the close of the present week, and
will shut down. This firm have at present
forty men in their employ, all of whom will
be thrown out of work.
The Beaver mills which employed near
ly seventy-five men, have been shut down
since Friday.
Tinsman's mill is new shut down for re
pairs, but will start up again in a few days.
They have about ten days' sawing in their
pond ; then they will be compelled to shut
down. This mill gave work to fifty-live
men, all of whom will be idle.
The mill of George Quinn, employing
about forty men, ceased to run Jon Friday
last
The mill of Finley, Young & Co. has been
shut down for more than two weeks on
account of a scarcity of logs. This firm
employed about seventy-two men, most of
wbom are out ot work.
The Merriman mill may possibly run
two weeks louger when it will have cleaned
out the pond, and closed up. This mill
gives work to about fifty men, all of whom
will be thrown out of employment when j.t
closes.
The mill of Edcr, Houscl & Deemer has
stock enough to run about one week. This
firm employs about forty men.
The Reading, Fisher & Co. mill has been
out of service for more than two weeks.
They employed about sixty men.
The large mill of White, Lentz & White
cut its last log on Friday last This mill
gave employment to seventy-five men.
At the mill of P. Herdic & Co. there will
be no more woik after to-day, as they ex
pect to "cut out" by this evening or to
morrow by noou. Forty men are employ
ed by this company.
The above are a few of the largest mills
on the river. Between the mill of P. G.
Fcssler & Co., above Jayesburg, and the
mouth of Loyalsock, there are twenty-six
mills which will be silent iu a short time
unless a flood should come. It is fair to
presume that forty men to each mill would
bo about the average employed. This it
will be seen amounts to 1,040 men, who
will be out of employment in a few days.
Occurring, as this does, almost in the mid
dle of the summer, and the prospects of a
flood being none of the brightest at present,
it is feared that unless tbe mills should
again start up, the coming winter will be
one of tbe hardest we have ever experienced
in this community.
A Desperate Attempt at an Ex
tress Robbery. At midnight, on Thurs
day, a desperate attempt was made to rob
an Adams Express car on the Vandalia
Railroad, near Longpoint, 111. When the
passenger train, bound east, stopped at the
water-tauk, two men boarded the engine
and ordered the engineer, Milo Ames, to
start it He obeyed, and was then shot dead
by the robbers, one of them remarking that
they "would run the thing themselves."
The fireman ran to the rear to alarm the
train men, and while he was doing so a
confederate of the robbers detached the ex
press car from the cars in the rear. After
running the train to a distance of about
two miles from the station, the gang stop
ped it, aud demanded admittance to the
express messenger, Burke, told them "he
was ready for tbem, and if they entered
they would be dead men." They responAeb
by pouring volleys of pistol shots into tbe
car, the firing.according to the messenger be
ing as if done by a dozen men, as the shots
'came from all sides." He barricaded
himself in tbe car, however, and held his
ground until the'train men, having found
two soldiers with carbines, arrived on the
spot, aud the rubbers disappeared in the
Jarkuess. Tbey found the body of the
murdered engineer, Ames, in the cab. A
freight engineer happening to be ou the
train, the engine was run back and the
train taken to Tern Haute. The express
car, which the robbers failed to force, was
very strongly built aud bad no windows.
A hammer, used to knock out the coupling
pin, was found aud may serve as a clue.
Several suspected persons have been ar
rested. A married woman of Alleutown sot
tired of her husband and home a week or
ten days ago, aud eloped with a youug
man. But her ucw-fuuud happiness was
of short duration. The other day she re
turned to her former home, repeutant and
destitute, aud sought the forgiveness of the
husband she had deserted. Instead of be
ing received with joy and full forgiveness,
that individual would have nothing to do
with her, aud turned her from the door of
the home which she has disgraced. The
partuer of her guilt has not been heard
from. Neither is the cause of tho separa
tion between the lovers given. Their re
gard for each other very likely did uot out
live the novelty of their relationship, but
turned to disgust when their eyes were
opened, and they beheld each other in the
true light Then the wife's thoughts na
turally reverted to the husbaud wbo had
won her young heart, and cherished her in
the years of her married life, and the pic
ture of her deserted home, which had
sheltered her from the storms of life, rose
before her mental vision, and she longed
to ouce more enter its sheltering portals
and be at rest. But she finds, on approach
ing, that the door is closed in her face, and
she is forbidden to enter that ouce happy
home circle. ILirsh as this husband's
course seems, it is nevertheless just, and
will have more effect in convincing the er
ring womau of her guilt than the most
willing forgiveness. True, it does not seem
to breathe the spirit inculcated by tho Re
deemer when He taught His disciples to
say, 'Forgive our trespasses,' &c; but the
husband may forgive the erring wife, or
the wife the erring husband, without plac
ing the erring one in a position to again
violate confidence or bring disgrace upon
family and friends. For a wrong such as this
wife committed a life-long expiation is ne
cessary, and nothing is better calculated to
produce the result than continual depriva
tion of the domestic joys once so mercilessly
sacrificed. Harrhbvrg Telegraph.
Attacked by a Snake. On Saturday
morning last, while Mr. J. L. Roberts,
who resides about two miles north of
Churchtown, Lancaster county, was pass
ing through a woods on a visit to a neigh
bor, he was attacked by a large black snake.
It first made a hissing noise, and then
spraugat Mr. Roberts, and caught him
by the left arm, inflicting a severe and
a painful wouud. With his right baud
Mr. Roberts got a knife from his pocket,
and ran it through the snake's head, when
the reptile dropped to the ground, and he
dispatched it with a stone. The snake
measured ten feet three inches in length,
and was one of the largest of the kind
evereen in that fee tion.
Some weeks ago Ex-Governor Bigler's
name was mentioned in connection with a
nomination for Governor of this State, but
he declined very promptly and decisively,
as it appeared, for very excellent reasons.
But within a week or two, at the instance
of somebody, he has taken back all this,
and now 'places himself in tho hands of
his friends." This would seem to have
operated to confuse things generally and
cause a change in well-prepared plans of
certain partiasns to secure the nomination
of a favorite of their own. We do not
think, however, that their is auy chance
for William in the nominating conyeution
but if their should be, and his name shall
be presented, their will be none whatever
before the people, who have had enough of
the old Bigler pottage. Germautoxrn Tele
fjiaph. The American Team Still Victo
rious. It was at first decided that the
American Team would not contend in any
other rifle matches than those it went
abroad especially to shoot. But this de
cision was set aside, and the Americans
accepted of an invitation to contend with
the English clubs ; and ou Monday, after
previoubly having wou one or two matches
they contended at Wimblcton for the Al
bert prizes, and Colonel Gildersleeve made
the magnificent score of G8 out of a possi
ble score of 70, which was the highest in
the match.
The ties in the shooting of Saturday for
the St. Leger sweepstakes were shot off on
Monday. Fulton, of the American, won,
Mitchell second and John Rigby third.
Later. The contest for the Albert prizes
was finished on Monday afternoon. Sir
Henry Halford won the first prize, scoring
98 out of a possible 105, and Colonel Gil
dersleeve took the second prize, with a
score of 92.
The Original Declaration. It
wasn't Mecklenberg. nor Philadelphia,
where independence was first proclaimed,
but in a letter from Mrs. John Adams to
herhusband. When the king issued his
proclamation for suppressing rebellion and
sedition, after the failure of the mission of
Richard Penn, Mrs Adams wrote to Mr.
Adams in Philadelphia: "This intelli
gence will make a plain path for you,
though a dangerous one. I could not join
to-day in the petition of our worthy pastor
for a reconciliation between our no longer
parent state, but tyrant state and these
colonies' Let us seperate ; they are un
worthy to be our bretberu. Let us re
nounce' them; and instead of supplications,
as formally, for their prosperity and hap
piness, let us beseech the Almighty to
blast their councils and bring to naught all
their devices." This was a declaration of
independauce preceding by months that
which Jefferson wrote.
The California grangers have gone into
the business of tiansportation systemati
cally, and with more vim than has been
exhibited by any similar organization on
this side of the Rocky Mountains. Tbe
crop this year, it is said, will be scarcely
half as large as in former seasons, but the
farmers arc in good spirits, most of them
being in good financial condition. Ar
rangements are being made for the direct
shipment of grain to Europe, which was
interupted by the recent failure of a leading
firm. An agent from the grangers' bus
iuess association has bceu dispatched to
Liverpool with instructions to charter
such vessels as may be necessary, and ar
range for the receipt and sale of the pro
ducts. Communication will be maintained
with headquarters by telegraph iu ci
pher.
Tho advance in the price of wheat, in
the Chicago market, since may, is twenty
cents per bushel, and it is still held firmly.
The recent imports from Europe of the
failure of the crops in many parts, along
with the loss from tbe disastrous floods in
France ami Hungary, give color to the be
lief that tbe rise is a permanent aud uot a
speculative one, although the shrewdest
operators are unable to decide this point.
The advance had its origen in a specula
tive demand ; but it appears to have out
lived this, and run ahead of the views and
expectations of the leading operators.
The rise in price is tending to unlock the
graneries and elevators, as we notice large
movements eastward ; of wheat particu
larly. -
How to Treat Tramps. Tramps are
everywhere regarded as an unmitigated
nuisance. We don't mean those who are
willing to work and go from place to place
uniting business with pleasure, but those
shiftless fellows who figure in our police
reports and board at the public expense.
The Scientific American, with an eye to
business, proposes the following treatment
for this class : Fix the penalty for begging,
ten days' labor ou the highways for each
offense ; there is no danger of a faijiug de
mand for that sort of labor for tbe next
fifty years. Give to every citizen the power
to make arrests in cases of vagrancy, and
tor every ten days' labor by the person so
arrested, credit the person making the ar
rest with five days towards the working
out of his road tax. For his labor, give
the tiamp decent board and lodging and
from ten to fifty cents a day as wages ac
cording to his efficiency. Let such a law
be rigorously executed, and in a little
while we should have better roads and
fewer tramps. The honest seekers for
work would suffer less under such a system
than they do now.
' Cardinal McCloskcy, who was recently
presented wilh the berre.Ua with imposing
ceremonies has yet to go to Rome to com
plete formalities connected wilh his inves
titure with the new dignity. It is custo
mary for every cardinal, as soon as con
venient after receiving the bcrretta , to go
to Rome, where the Pontiff foraialiy im
poses the other insignia of the cardinalatc
upon him, and at the same time names
some church in Rome the new carnidal's
titular church. Cardinal McCloskey, it is
understood, will sail for Havre on this
errand, on the steamer Fereire, on August
7, and proceed at once to Rome.

PANAMA AFFAIRS.
New York, July 17. The United
States steamer Powhattan, from Panama,
July 8, brings the following news :
The trouble between the state of Panama
and the Federal Government baa been set
tled. A treaty of peace was concluded be
tween the Federal and State Commission
ers on the 2d instant. In consequence of
this agreement General Cayama was liber
ated from prison and reinstated as chief of
the national forces on the Atlantic. The
battalions stationed in Panama were to be
relieved by other forces from Cogota, and
the State government took upon itself to
protect the transit until such time as the
other troops from Bogota arrive.
Dr. Pablo Atosemena has been declared
elected President of the State of Panama
for the next constitutional term. The
state has thrown its vote for Dr. Menez for
President of Colombia. The United States
steamer Omaha from Callao arrived at
Panama on the 6th to receive her relief
crew, which arrived by the Powhattan.
The officers of the Omaha were relieved
and returned home by the Powhattan. A
dreadful riot took place at San Miguel, Sal
vador. A great deal of discontent had
been excited against the government by its
refusal to allow a pastoral of the Dishop of
Salvador, written in a tone hostile to the
laws, to be read in the churches. There
had also been considerable hostile feeling
among the lower classes, owing to some
regulations requiring dealers to use a new
market place. While matters were in this
condition a priest named Palacois preached
a violent sermon against the constituted
authorities on Sunday, the 20th ult That
evening the mob arose, attacked the jail,
and liberated 200 prisoners. They then
proceeded to assault the small garrison, and
took the cuartel, killed Generals Espinosa
aud Castro, cut the former to pieces, and
threw the pieces at each other, split the
skull of General Castro, aud threw him
over a wall, where he was picked up by his
mother aud died in three days. Tbe gar
rison were nearly all assassinated, and
many honorable citizens were killed. After
this the fanatic mob set fire to some sixteen
houses with kerosene. Before the town
was entirely destroyed, it fortunately hap
pened that the British ship Fantoma was
at La Union, she landed her marines,
which allowed the garrison there, united
with troops from Amapala, in Honduras,
to march to the relief of San Miguel and
put down the mob. The curate Palacios,
at last accounts, was arrested, with others
that had participated in the outbreak, and
a good many of the inferier rioters had been
shot by order of President Gonzales, who
had arrived with troops. With the houses
destroyed and pillaged, the damage is esti
mated at 1,000,000, and commercial fail
ures are looked for in consequence. The
country has been declared in a state of
siege, ahd President Gonzales is taking
measure to establish order, aud bring the
perpetrators of this disgraceful outbreak to
condign punishment
