The Somerset Herald. WEDESDAT . . May S3, IKT. TncRE will be a meeliog of the Republican Sute Committee at U Locbiel House, Ilarrisburj, on Tots day, 23th instant, at 2 o'clock r. to fix tbe time and place for the next Republican State Convention, and tbe transaction of other important business. IIenkt M. Hott, Chairman. A. Wilson Xorris, Sec. On exchanges say that; Sewing Machines tare already fallen thirty dollars in price, owing to the expira tion of different patents on portions oftbem. Thi New Orleans Timet asys: If the President expects bis party will ever carry Louisiana he might as well relinquish this roseate.opinion t once." This shows a Democratic determination to overcome the pres ent Republican majority in tbe State st all hazards. With a Democratic Governor they may do it, possibly. hat with a Republican uorernor, there would have been some show for the Republicans. Tut Mobilo (Ala.) Regitler thus speaks : "The Southern people de cline to accept the proposition to ally themselves with that portion of the Republican Tarty which sustains the President's Southern policy. They stand i resdy to co-operste with all who will defend that policy, but as to forming a portion ot a Presidential party 'and surrendering tbe organi- tation of tbe House to the enemies of Democracy, we respectfully beg leave to decline tbe proposition." PIkinq the month of April, there was exported from the United Slates to Europe 8.41C.829 pounds of fresh beef and 1C9.043 pounds of mutton. Tbe trade shows no signs of falling off on account of tbe hot weather. A diminution in tbe amount of tbe shipments of fresh meat during the hot months is to be expected as a matter of course, if for no other reason than that tbe demand always falls off largely in tbe summer sea son. Tni St Louis Democrat does not believe that tbe President's policy will divide tbe Democratic party at tbe South, and adds: "The only thing that will ever divide the Demo cratic party at the South will be the inability to make 50,000 offices go round among 5,000,000 patriots, and the party may confidently be expect ed to live as long as it has any spoils to live for, and remain united as long as unity will help it in its great object" Tbe legislative election in Fair Geld county, South Carolina, is in teresting. It is one of the strongest Republican counties in the State, and sent two Republican members to the present Legislature. They bad tbe manliness to refuse to beg pardon of tbe Hamptonites for tbeir support of the Chamberlain Government, and were expelled. A new election be ing called in tbe county, Democratic members were returned by large majorities. The Republicans stsyed way from the polls. While tbe President is trying to conciliate the Southern Democrats and inaugurate an "era of good feel ing," they are intrenching themselves in power, and rewarding in every available way the men who were tbe most conspicuous in tbeir hostility to the Union. Thus in Virginia where tbey are preparing for tbe next election for Governor, tbe prominent Democratic candidates are General Fits Hugh Lee, General W. Mahone, General W. B. Tallafero, and two or three Colonels, all of whom served with eclat in the Confederate army. While the President's Southern policy is the chief subject of anxiety and commeLt throughout tbe country, tbere are outgivings of a new policy in other matters of moment, of much more vital importance to the interest of labor, and in greater di vergence, if possible, with the views of tbe Republican party in this State. At tbe late "Chamber of Com merce" dinner in New York, at which the President and several members of bis cabinet were present, Messrs. Evans add Schurz, tbe chief spokes men of the administration, in un mistakable terms advocated the abandonment of tbe protective prin ipte in onr tariff, and of tbe restric. tion against tbe introduction of foreign built ships into our merchant marine. These have both been favorite ob jects of the Free-trade Democracy, re iotn matters of tbe greatest moment to the iiome industries of Pennsylvania and tbe New England elates, and bare been standing "principles" f tbe SoatWn Democ racy lor many jean past A. more ermefblow could not be stricken t tbe laboring, manufacturing, and pro ducing interests of this Sute, tban 'the repeal of the protective principles of our present tariff, and yet be re ere tbe Secretary of Bute, aod tbe See retary of tbe Interior, is the presence of tbe President, and wiuh his tacit consent at least, advocating in the city of New York, whose commercial interests are controlled by foreign im porters and eapitalista.tbeir pet theory, adopted by tbe Democratic party, of a tariff for revenoe simply, thus forcing our manufacturers to compete with the miserably paid labor of Europe, and depriving our farmers of tbe advantage of a home market for dbeir products. laiewaf tfeeae od other late reate, it is not Xo be wondered at. that our Republicans ce inquiring, one of the other, wherein does thim nrtmini-tcar, a;-. .1... ' awu MVUI UIM J. Tildea had been elected t Sammt J. Tilpen, still bss tbe suits. On Mondsy of last wefk, tbe Chamber of Commerce of New York gave its annual dinner, at which President Ilsves. and Secretaries Evarta and Schuri aod General Sherman were present,, with a dis tinguished company of tbe leading bnsiness men of that city. It was purely social affair, prominent men of both political parties joining in it. Ex-Governor Til den. and tbe Democratic State officials sulkily declined invitations, because of tie presence of tbe President General Hancock, Mayor Ely, and other not ed Democrats accepted invitations and were present Paxvious to embarking for Europe on Thursday last, General Grant spent several days in Philadelphia, where be received marked attention as tbe guest of tbe city. Great crowds of people of all classes called upon him to pay their respects and wish him a prosperous voyage and safe return. The bitter political ani mosities of the past appeared to be forgotten, and as usual, now that be is no longer in power, bis fieic:ft Democratic opponents, vied with bis friends in showering courtesies upon him. Tbe next generation will do fuller justice to the man and tbe great services be rendered the Nation, tban will the present, with its petty political jealousies and disappoint ments still fresh upon it JiixiK W. W. CnisoLM and his heroic daughter have both died of the wounds received at the bands of the Democratic ruffians of Kemper county. Miss. We publish a full account of the brutal attack, in another part of this paper. There is no excuse, no palliation fop this most infamous mur der of almost an entire family for political purposes alone. Tbe lives of a mere boy and a heroic girl were taken by "cbivalric Southern Demo crats" while attemptiug to shield a beloved father from tbeir weapons. So shameless, so cowardly a murder has no parallel in history, and is the crowning infamy of Southern Dem ocracy. That it will be avengea oy the authorities of the State, tbere is not the slightest probabilty. We publish elsewhere a copy of a letter received in Washington by a friend of Miss Cbisolm, tbe brave girl wbo has died from the wounds re ceived in tbe heroic defense of ber father from tbe Mississippi Democrat ic mob. Tbe letter which we publish was written at the bedside of tbe dying girl, at ber dictation, and adds an additional thrill of horror to tbe crime that must shock humanity wherever read. The Chicago Inler-Ocean says: Governor Stone, of Mississippi, wentjto DeKalb to investigate tbe Kemper county tragedy, and on bis return, to Jackson is reported to have said : "We can't afford to stir tbe matter op any further; it must be permitted to die out." This is in famous, but what are we going to do about it? The business of shipping fresh beef to Europe is steadily on the increase. Tbe last report from the Treasury Department showed that tbe Febru ary shipments were tbe largest re ported up to tbe date of tbe state ment Tbe aggregate tbat month was 3,605,C10 pounds. On Saturday the 12 inst, the shipments were upwards of a million pounds, and, as they have been heavy throughout tbe month, tbe inference is fair tbat tbe aggregate will largely exceed that of February. A correspondent writing from London says the effect of these shipments has been felt much less in tbe London market tbat is generally supposed. Tbe reason is that it is in great demard, is bought up as soon as exposed, and that no small part of tie shipments find a sale elsewhere. Last autumn, American beef shops were opened in Glasgow, and tbe price in tbat city bas fallen four eents a pound. London capital is going into this busineue, however, and tbe result, it is expected, will soon be aeea in tbe reduced prices. riveCatMrom fcarse Ja Pala. Binohauton, N. Y., May 16.

Van Buren's dancing attendance at Court was the subject of much ridicule in this coun try, but we do not apprehend that the plain, blunt,ex-Presideot will sub ject himself to like criticism. He will indulge in no set speeches ex pressive of adulation. He will main tain the dignity of an American citi zen wbo bas just retired from the most exalted position within tbe gift of bis countrymen. THE DANOIR OF CONCESSION TO THE ENEMY. j No one who takes a survey of tbe two great political parties of this country can fail to see that in the near future the truth of tbe old prov erb will be illustrated "tbat politics makes strange bed-fellows." On the one side Democrats working like beavers to secure as many favors as possible from the Usyes administra tion, with no purpose whatever ot giving up a title of tbeir doctrine in consideration for concessions. On the other protest after protest is made by tbe Republicans against any aban donment of the platform upon which the party was organized, the war of tbe rebellion fought to a successful termination, and the administration of tbe Government carried on since treason was crushed. Tbe experi ment of iuvitiog those wbo were con spicuous in renouncing allegiance to' tbe Government into the councils of the President is fraught with danger. It is not to be wondered that the loyal party of tbe Nation is apprehensive of fatal results. ARLINGTON ESTATE. The visit on tbe ,10th inst. of thous ands to the Arlington Cemetery, to bedeck the graves of the dead wbo fell in bloody strife for tbe national existence, will bring to mind tbe cir cumstances under wbicb tbe Gov ernment became possessed of the es tate, it was tbe residence af uen.

Lee bad in tbe estate atouM.rerert to Mn Lee at tbe Gen's, death, it was sold under tbe tax law of 1802, tbe Gov ernment becoming the purchaser. This is tbe title under which tbe United States now holds it. Several attempts have been mad by tbe heirs of Mrs. Lee to regain possea sion.The infamous proposition bas been made by some to remove tbe bones of our soldiers. ' This sugges tion raised such a storm of indigna tion mat we ao not near or ita repe tition. At some future day it may be mat tne netrs win receive some pecuniary compensation.

Rev. Henry Newman Wright Pastor of tbe Independent Methodist Church at Northville, Long Island, is in trouble. Tbe Trustees engaged bim some time ago, but became dis satisfied with bim and gave bim no tice to quit lie refused to go, aod the Trustees gave bim notice that he would be excluded from tbe pulpit Issue was therefore joined, and both sides were determined to have tbe upper band. On tbe succeeding Sunday Mr. Wright preached to a congregation of curiosity-seekers having obtained an entrance to the cburcb several hours before the Trustees put in an appearance. On the next Sunday, however, tbe Trus tees were masters of the situation. Tbe nigbt previous word was sent aroucd tbat Rev. Mr. Wright and his friends would break down tbe doors of the church if refused admit tance. Tbe trustees and tbeir friends wished it to be understood tbat some heads might be broken if force was attempted. A large crowd collected early in tbe morning, and were well pleased with tbe subsequent perform ance. When Mr. Wright and bis friends went up the steps to force tbe doors, tbe Trustees and tbeir body guard pulled them down. Wbeo tbe Trustees were at tbe doors, Mr. Wright and bis backers dragged them down. . It was ludicrous in the ex treme. Tbe trustees came off tbe victor. Last Sunday tbere was a very stormy lime at tbe church, and tbe village was excited all day over the difficulty. Sheriff Smith and a posse of deputies preserved order and dispersed the contending parlies. All of Monday tbe excitement continued. At about 11 o'clock tbe church was (red and ' burned to the ground. The contract' price for im erection was f 6,fjoo,' and' about fl,00 bas beep expended in improving it since. At the tjme that the fire was raging iu tbe cburcb persons who were run ning to the soene past tbe residence of Mr. Wright discovered fire under his front stoop, and but for tbis no doubt tbe parsonage would bave beeu reduced to ashes also.

The busi ness baa been controlled for years by a ring organized by two or threu of the largest companies, who in tbe early years of the business suec-ed-ed in getting control of tbe poiots without which no machine can be made. Tbeae companies compelled all the others to pay royalties, and really kept a great many out of the field by refusing to license them at all." Last Tuesday all these patents xpirad, and now tbe trade in sewing machines is free and unincumbered. That the burden imposed by this ring may be understood, I may say tbat one company has paid in the last ten years nearly a million of dollars. But tbe great trouble with tbe busi ness bas been the credit system and the enormous expense of selling. -The commission paid to agents mount up terribly, and then most of the ma chines nave been sold on two years credit, on what are called leases, tbe company owning tbe machine till it is paid for. There was the loss of in terest on the vast capital this system necessitated, and there was the enor mous expense of detectives, collectors and processes to recover, all of which made tbe business of selling a ma chine, the first cost of which was per haps $20, for $70, not very profitable. Ail this changes. The Weed com pany reduced tbe price of machines nearly a half, the day tbe patents ex pired, and ail the other companies wbo make machines competing with it, were forced to follow suit They intend as far as practicable to bring the business down to a cash basis, and the people who can pay will have the benefit of the reduction ; inasmuch as under tbe old system a woman wbo couldn't get credit for a loaf of bread could get possession of a $0 sewing machine, this change of baso a ill work to tbe disadvantage of tbe poor, but the really paying peopla will be advantaged by it. MACY. One of the richest merchants in tbe city was R. H. Macy, wbo died a few weeks ago. Mr. Macy made a will, aod to tbe astonishment of his friends, be left bis only son an income of only $1,000 a year, and gave as a reason for it tbat the young man was hopelessly depraved and to tally unlit to be trusted wiib property. As it happens to be entirely true, it is a striking commentary on tbe uselesa nesa of human calculations. Macy's ambition was to bave bis son a gen lleman, and to have him spend tbe vast estate he was gathering like one. Accordingly he was all his life furn ished with all tbe money be could spend, and be went through the usu al routine of a fast young Aew ord er's life. He had high company, drank expensive wines, drove fast horses, etc., all of which pleased tbe old gentleman well enough till he woke one day to tbe bitter knowledge tbat bis boy bad contracted habits wbicb be could not throw off, and which made a blackguard of him in stead of a gentleman. He made tbe old man's life unhappy by bis low as sociations ; and he bad tbe bitterness of seeing tbe boy who bad been bis pride, degenerate into a debauchee, who conld not hold the respect of any one, and wbo was the laughing stock of his acquaintances, and tbe disgrace of bis family. Now for the moral. Tbe immense business of the Macy establishment will hereafter be controlled by a man who entered the store a friendless boy, and wbo work ed bis way up slowly but surely, and who, ten years ago, would bave been glad to clean bis employer's son's boots. This is only one case in thousands, though few make known the delinquencies of their children as did Macy. The average young man of rich parents in this city is not a reliable being. the nor. snow. Tbe prettiest show of tbe last six teen months, not excepting tbe big Centennial, and one of tbe most com pletely carried out, is the dog show Uiider tbe auspices of tbe Westmin ster Kennel Club, which is composed of sporting gentlemen fond of fine dogs wbo wish to awaken interest in improving tbeir breeds. About fif teen hundred entries of handsome dogs of almost every degree, from tbe great St iieroard and bibenan watch-dogs to toy terriers makes a collection as interesting as it is possi ble to name, to anyone having a com mon liking for tbe noblest kind of brute, hardly excepting tbe bone. Tbe Rev. Mr. M'Donna, tbe celebrat ed English authority on dogs, kindly crossed tbe ocean to attend tbe show, and bronght dogs with bim of tbe highest breeding known in tbe world. O'.ber English lovers of dogs sent tbeir pets, and noble animals tbey were tbongh not handsomer .to tbe uneducated eye, and not more intelli gent looking than many not valued so highly, belonging to American owners. Contrary to the general idea, tbe St Bernards of pnre breed are not black and white, but red, and fawn and yellow, with not a single black hair among tbem. : Tbe larger part of entries we'e of sporting dogs, some of which were sent from Michi gan. Missouri and Virginia. Tbe darji Irish setters, and field spanieh were tbe handsomest exhibited. The pet toy dogs, though costly were the ugliest of their race. 1 here were pugs, wbicb nearly drew a scream of disgust at tbeir horrid ugliness, ter riers, bred in and in till there is noth ing of tbem but enough black coat to shiver with, - and greyhounds tbat looked like skinned chickens, blue and starved. The pets lav on satin cush ions and bad lacs 00 their oollars ; but tne honest Newfoundland or Spaniel, with - most of my readers would outweigh in interest tbe whole weakly, expensive set, representing though tbey did a value of thousands of dollar. Tbere were a very large number of these monstrosities valued thousand dollars each, aod for wbicb that price is actually asked and obtained 1 and it doss gpem - as though tbe ogjier and more frightful tbe beast, tbe more money a fashion able woman is willing to give for it, Tbe show was instructive as well as pleasant There were dogs trained to a degree of intelligence that: very many humans do not possess, and tbe usefulness of that animal was demonstrated in very ' many ways. The proceeds of tbe exhibition, goes to the founding ot a hospital for dis abled dogs, under tbe charge of Mr. Bergb. Curious tbat dogs should hse a hocpttal. when so many bu- mad af insb;lte?p5. - K I f if TASHIOMS. . Taste iu the ' small accessories of tba toilet is more cultivated year by year among our topntry womeut Ele gant silk stockiogs, 'dedicate, "fanciful handkerchiefs and neckties, tb 'say Qtipg of the extravagances nnder the name of lingerie, take a large share of fashionable women's spend- ing money. Of course those wbo bave let 9 will not be satisfied without at least approaching the loxuries of others above them. Embroidered silk stockings are hardly called for so much as tbe lisle thread, in shades to match those of the drese, light blue, rose color, lilac and violet, the same being repeated in stockings for children. Blocked stockings are no longer in first taste. . Handkerchiefs in lawn with fine, thin silk borders almost as sheer, in rose, sky blue an I pale violet are pretty, cheap and rt refined looking. Smyrna lace has tbe same run that Clnny did tea years ago, and is seen everywhere, from the inner garment of a lady to tbe parasol, and the collar about ber neck. But it is in no way fit for the bner uses of tbe toilet, and should be con fined to useful underclothing, and in finer qualities to trimming linen lawns, on which it is very well plac ed. The extravagance with which children are now dressed is startling. The writer saw led into a large store the other day a boy of five years, wearing an overdress of light blue velvet, bordered completely with the expensive silver fox fur which adorn ed toilets of tbe highest cost last season. Another boy in violet velvet wore hia coat and sleeves trimmed with very beavy point. It is possi ble that tbe carnival shows and ta bleaux in which children have been so conspicuous lu.ely bave fostered thia love of finery where it is bardly best placed. It looks very pretty to see boys and girls dressed like tbe court children in antique pictures, but when they don't happen to be young princes or even counts or countesses at all, but tbe offspring of hardworking and anxious financiers in Wall Street, a dozen of whom go down every two years, the idea doesn't seem so well carried out. Theatricals on American streets are uncalled for. Pietro. tSD HiYE-H. YESTERDAY'S EVENTS AT rniLAPEL- PBIA DEPEPARTl'BE OF THE EX PRESIDENT FOR EUROPE. A POPU LAR OVATION TO THE TRAVELER.
