Knmnr* "'War.
The pruspeet that the claims for
enrs«<vji|r>ntMl Jims-res net up lty the
1 nite-1 Siate« in the settlement of the
Alabama claims, will las rejected, has
•v^rvnoned an excitin'; amount of war
rumors for some days. On the jairt of
the Administration, the K|>cech of Cob-
den in the British Parliament, pend
ing the construction of the Confederate
cruisers, is urged. He declared that
if the Government permitted such ve- J
scls to be tilled out and furnished the
Confederates, it would give the United
States just'ground for claiming, not
only damages for vessels they might
destroy, but contingent damages, lor
the injury sustained by the increase of
marine insurance, and diversion of the
carrying trade to the vessc's of other
countries, as well as for the influence
they might have on the results of the
wa •.
O.i the other hand, it is admitted
by many of our public men, including
Gen. Butler and other leading radi
cals, 'hat the question of contingent
damages was abandoned liefore the
{mints of the arbitration to Imj submit
ted to the Conference of Sovereigns at
Geneva, were agreed upon. Every
word of the treaty was sent buck and
forth by cable before it was signed.
Even Mr. Sumner waived his demand
for consequential damages, and assent
ed to the treaty, and the sense of the
whole natiou acquiesced iu the abandon
ment of these vague, difficult and ques
tionable claims.
It is not strange, therefore, that the
British authorities reject the proposi
tion to drag them before the Confer
ence now. It is stated that the sum
claimed under this india-rubber de
mand is about 81,500,000,000, or
about onc-lmlf the amount of the na
tional debt. Wc do not suppose there
is a sane man on either continent who
believes that Great Britain will nego
tiate for a moment for the adjustment
of tiny such a claim. It would seem
safe to assume that there is no danger
of war ou account of the rejection of a
proposition so preposterous in all its
forms. But as a war would strengthen
the power of the centralists, and as
Grant is nothing anywhere save in
war—there is no telling to what fatal
extremctics he may push tlfb country
in the hope of strengthening and en
riching himself and his parasites. A
war will be a dread calamity for the
South. 11 will depress the price of our
giyat staple, and ns wc arc not a man
ufacturing people, give us no com-
jiensating benefits, such as the North
and West will derive from it.

The subject of apprenticeship has
gone through every conceivable course
j of torture in its treatment, practically
and theoretically, and we believe it
jmust be conceded that radical mistakes
have hceikmade in attempting to pract
ice it for the mutual benefit of all con
cerned. There was a period when in
dentures, as applied to apprentices,
meant something—when time was a
question considered—when a youth
could not call himself master of the
business he had undertaken unless he
had graduated through, service from
the point of splitting wood for his mis
tress’, kitchen fire, through sleeping in
a cold garret and doing a large share
of drudgery which did not belong to
the business, to the keeping of the
hooks and taking general charge of the
utfuirs of ids master. It was law, as
well as usage. But all this gradually
wore away. Some features about it
were commendable, while others were
the reverse. The five or seven years
of time spent to acquire a trade seemed
too long, yet it usually happened that
men became in that time as proficient
as the facilities ami experluo* of the
times would admit. Now, after all
the changes which have taken place,
time seems to have but little effect up
on proficiency. The half of a life may
be spent in unfavorable misdirected at
tempts to climb to the leading point,
and then not be met by success. Of
course success, in this particular, de
pends upon the natural ability of the
apprentice, and the manner in which it
is applied. It would l>c hard to make
a good blacksmith, or preacher, or law
yer, out of a dunce. Yet where time
and conditions gave men the advan
tage of facilities and opportunities—
where law required that both master
and apprentice should render to each
the full stipulation called for—the
chances for fair proficiency were in
favor of the apprentice.
When it was found that indentures
were no longer available, and boys
were placed to learn a business just as
they would be placed by the side of a
stream to catch fish, taking what came
to their hook, it was found that too
many of them were poor fishers. Yet
they supplied a demand for labor, and
frequently at a very cheap rate. And
the labor which they performed seem
ed not to be essential in the eyes of
employers as to quality, if it was satis
factory in quantity. This system of

From what we can learn, this nqiort,
which lias so crazed the editors of the

Scott faction, in order to band the
Charleston stockholders against any
attempt of the Central Road to secure
control of the Georgia Road, the lease
of which has long been under consid

explanation of the rumor that can be
offered.

Letter from Cassias X. Clay.
The following letter was recently
written to the “ Liberal Republican”
Convention of Missouri. It is of in
terest, os an indication of Republican
sentiment in the West:
White Hall Post Office, )
Madison Co., Ky., Jan. 20, 1872. j
Bear Sir: Your favor of the lltli
inst. is received. I regret that it will
not be in my power to be present at the
mass meeting of Liberal Republicans
at Jefferson City, on the 24th of this
month.
Iu 18(31, I was consulted by leading
Republicans, anticipating the overthrow
of the rebellion, about the doctrines
which 9omc years afterwards was devel
oped and known as "territorializing
the States,” and later in a letter pub
lished in the-Louisville Journal, I pro
tested against the same scheme. I held
that the States were indestructible, and
that when rebellion was put down, the
States survived in all their original sov
ereignty and equality in the Uuiou.—
The Constitution was based upon the
vital integrity of the Suites, and their
unhappy overthrow was not necessary
to the suppression of the rebellion or
to the liberation of the slaves, or to
any legitimate result for which the war
was waged.
The sad experience, by which eleven
tive power as ever in the freedmen,
stimulated by higher incentives to
action and economy. Our political
strength is increased by the addition or
two-fifths to our representative num
bers of all the liberated slaves, giving
us at onoe seventeen more members of
the House of Representatives. Our
most fertile lands and great world-wide
staples remain. With heart and loy
alty, a great future in the Union lies
before us.
We want a man whose antecedents
prove him loyal to the Union, and a
faithful defender of the rights of all—
white and blade. We want not a can
didate who, like Grant, voted for
I) nislos in 1850, aud who, like Fish,
voted for Hoffman iu 18(38, with reue*
S ide Democrats surrounding him,iand
ctating a partisan policy—but one
who, conserving all the fruits of the
war, will gather around him whatever
is worthy in Republicanism and what
ever is manly and patriotic in the De
mocracy—building up anew the scat
tered fragments of our nationality, not
upon fear ami proscription, but the
solid hnrdpun of brotherhood and in
separable interests.
It is conceded by all tlict such a man
can be found in our ranks. Let a na
tional convention of Liberal Republi
cans name him. Such a man can, in
my judgment, be triumphantly elected.
Peace and brotherhood will be restored,
and the union of these States be made
as secure and permaneut ns is allowed
to the works of man. Thanking you
and those you represent for the honor
of your invitation and consideration,
I am trulv yours,

The nbovc, from the Southern Re-
eoiilrr, probably refers to our allusion
to Mr. Clay in connection with Mr.
Hill’s late address. Wc did not at
tribute the authorship of the restriction
to Mr. C’lny. Our language was, that
" he compromised away the right of
the South to equality in the territories.”
The idea wo sought to convey was, that
he was the champion and mintrolling
spirit in fixing grcographical Itotmda-
ries to an institution entitled to protec
tion under the Constitution in all the
fern lories. His ellorts in that behalf
subsequently earned for him the desig
nation of the " great pacificator.”—
While it is true that the South acqui
esced in the wisdom and patriotism of
llw movement at the time, the late
struggle in the South, brought about
jiuu>..y bv the rcfu«al to utford her equal
protection in the territories, showed
that the settlement, made largely by
Mr. Clay’s great influence, was at bast
only cauterizing a sore that was destin
ed to break out in a bloody issue. It
is true that it was not the fault of Mr.
Clav, or of the South, that such a re
sult followed ; but b causa of the faith-
of the North to the spirit of the
compromise, which led the South sub
sequently to favor its repeal, and to
make a direct issue on the question.—
W<* ventured to remark, that it was
rather late for Mr. Hill to propose to
make Mr. Clay the exemplar of thn
Democracy of the present, and in
stanced the protective system, the pol
icy vt internal improvements, and the
Mireuri compromise, as Clay doctrines.
to apprentices as a class, yet it seemed
to meet the requirements of the masses,
whose wants aud conditions did not de
mand a more strict and systematic
plan.
Then it was soon concluded by Trade
Unions that the trades were being
overrun with apprcntics—that good
and proficient men were kept out of
employment by boy labor—that old
jours were humiliated by being classed
with mere novices in a business, and
the Unions fixed the number of boys
who should be in a si. jp on a certain
scale proportionate with the number
of men. And now there is a change
in this sentiment. A writer in a co
temporary, who has been reviewing
the Unions, asserts that workmen feel
that by enforcing this rule, they are
" depriving their own sons of a fair
chance in life, only to make room for
foreign workiuginen, who find, in the
scarcity of skilled labor which such a
system creates, the strongest induce
ment to emigrate to this couutry.—
These men cannot fail to see, also,
that by closing the useful trades to
the rising generation, the Unions nre
encouraging idleness. The distrihu
tive industries are always over-crowd
ed, aud where lioys arc denied oppor
tunities to learn trade', it is inevitable
that they must remain idle. .Such a
condition of affairs is highly favorable
to the growth of vicious habits, and it
is quite reasonable to believe that much
of the juvenile depravity which now
exists, especially in our large cites,
where crime is greatly on the increase,
is due to this ruinous system, which
closes the useful industries to thousands
who, were the opportunity offered,
would seek employment in them.”
It isdoubttul whether a Union can
govern this matter. But it is evident
that a general apprentice law is need
ed, aud should be enforced—one which
will secure to the master the services
of the apprentice a sufficient length of
time to remunerate him for giving such
apprentice a thorough education in
whatever branch lie may undertake—
one which will not permit the master
to neglect the interests of the appren
tice, prescribing a limit of intellectual
and mechanical instruction which ought
finally to place the young man upon
the world with fiiir skill and knowledge
in his business.—American Minn foe
lurer.
Monrtkops FiuriM.—Mr. Poland
of Vermont stated in Congress on
Tuesday that it was estimated that at
Jrad oar-fourth of the names on the Pen
sion rolls ire re placed there by fraud and
pr jury! The whole amount of pen
sions jiaid annually is about 30,000,-
000, aud here we have the semi-official
announcement that at least one-fourth
of this, 87,300,000, is fraudulently
drawn front the pockets of the over
taxed people annually. How much
longer will the peoplo consent to be
thus swindled? How much longer
will they sustain an administration
which tolerates and permits such mon
strous frauds ?
Still Fomenting.—The remains
of the Radical jiarty in Atlanta appear
to be in a state of fermentation. A
meeting was held the other night, which
is styled the " Georgia Republican
Campaign Club,” in which the previous
action of the so-called Executive Com
mittee, in appointing delegates to the
National Convention, was denounced
and repudiated, and a Convention of
the party was called for. John L.
Conley is out in a card denouncing the
report of the proceedings of the meet
ing, ns printed for circulation, false
and unfair, and characterizing the
whole affair as in the interest o Far
row, Dunuing, Marknam aud others
South iu hostility, and the subjugated
States in anarchy, proves that my fears
of such policy were not ill-founded.—
No man has made more sacrifices for
the liberation of the blacks than I. If
so, then I have a right to be considered
a faithful adviser with regard to their
future. Lincoln’s emancipation pro
clamation, and the battles of Antietam
and Gettysburg, by which the power of
the South was crushed, made the re
storation of slavery impossible, and
such was the thought and avowal of
the whole South. It was the disfran
chising of the leading minds of the
South, and the fatal attempt to subject
the Saxon race—the majority in num
bers—to the minority of the African
freedmen, which bred that foulest ex
crescence of slavery—the Ku-klux
Klaus.
I remember no instance in all history
where the servile race has been success
fully set to rule over the former mas
ters ; uor do I believe that now such
attempt will bear any other fruits than
discord and ruin to one or both parties.
Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts,
whose sincere "abolitionism” no one
will question, was for immediate and
universal amnesty. He held truly that
to conci'iate the masses of the South,
you must win over the good-will aud
allegiance of the leading minds; that
in republics, as in nature, the “ the
head moves the tail.”
The Grant policy reverses all this.
He seems bent, not on restoring to
health and normal action the wounded
South, but on destroying it.
If the Democrats are wise and just,
the blacks, five millions of the South,
will vote with the >South; not because
they nre Democrats or Republicans,
but because thev are Southerners. No
man is more a Unionist than I, yet I
cannot fail to see there are New Eng
land interests, Western interests and
Southern interests—all of which are
and must ever be distiuct—and yet all,
the Constitution being intact, are com
patible with national unity. As a
Southern man in this sense, I have de
voted my life to the overthrow of slave
ry—because it was unjust to the black,
and a cause of weakness to the white.
Slavery being dead, I resist with the
same earnestness that I did its exist
ence, the attempt of the Grant conspir
ators to subjugate the South, and to
mfike us provincial for all time to a
more than Roman imperialism.
1 denounce the attempt to weaken
us by a studied policy of nrrayiug the
blacks against the whites. I denounce
the design of barbarizing us, by the
corrupt and irresponsible rule of men
from the North, who have no common
iuterest in our affairs, who divide our
people and waste our substance.
I denounce the attempt to reverse
the natural order of things, by subject
ing, by constitutional changes and in
geniously contrived laws, the intelli
gence and property of the South to ig
nurance and pauperism.
I denounce the enmity of Grant rule
to the independence of Cuba; because
they kuow that Cuba must in interest
finally gravitate towards and belong to
the South.
I denounce the union of the powers
of the executive, judicial and legisla
tive departments in the military head
of the natiou.
I denounce the nc|>otimn, favoritism
aud corruption and proscription of the
Grant administration.
I denounce the scheme of subjecting
men and measures to the sole eud of
re-electing a military chieftain.
And last, and above all, I protest
against the unconstitutional and des
potic interference with the right of
|ieaceablc assemblage of the people and
With more than ordinary pleasure
we read the announcement of the ap-
S intmeut by Gov. Smith of W. W.
ontgomerv, Esq., to fill a vacancy
on the bench of the Supreme Court.—
The legal profession in the State will
recogDize this appointment as one emi
nently fit to be made. Mr. Mont
gomery is ranked among the finest
legal minds in the State. He is a
close student, is a logical reasoner,
patient in investigation, and clear in
his mode of expressing the results of
his labors iu cases consigned to his
care. His character chimes harmoui-
usly with the responsible position to
which he is elevated. Upright, just,
conscientious, lie will do his full duty.
The public may feel secure that ho
will hold the scales of justice with a
steady hand. The citizens of Augusta,
his native city, will share iu the grati
fication this appointment will give the
profession. There are yet living
umong us men who remember the high
reputation as a judge, of John Hartford
Montgomery, who at an early age
was elevated to the bench of tive Su
perior Court, and officiated with dis
tinction as Judge of the Middle Cir-
cut. His nephew, the new appointee,
will honorably sustain the prestige of
the name.—Aug. Con.

of civil rights aud enfranchisement as
establish^" feet now embodied in the
Constitution, and deserving the sup
port of the good citizens of all parties.
Resolved, That true and lasting peace
can come only from such profound re
conciliation os enfranchisement has
brought to the State of Missouri; nor
can those governments be pure or great
in which tax-payers have no active
part. We, therefore, demand, with
equal suffrage for all, complete amnes
ty for all, that the intellect and expe
rience of every State may be welcomed
to active service for the common wel
fare.
Resolved, That no form of taxation
i< ju<t or wise which puts needless bur
dens upon the people. \\ e demand
a genuine reform of tariff, so that
those duties shall be removed which,
in addition to the revenue yielded to
the Treasury, involve an increase in
the price of domestic products, aud
consequent tax for the benefit of favored
interests.
Resolved, That the shameless abuse
of Government patronage for the con
trol of conventions and elections,
whether in the interest of an individual
faction, or of a party, with its conse
quent corruption aud demoralization
of political life, demands a thorough
and genuine reform of the public ser
vice. Those wh j would suppress inves
tigation forget they owe a higher duty
to the country than to any party. We
honor those senators whose courageous
course have conqielled the disclosure
of gross misdeeds, aud they deserve
the thanks and hearty support of all
good citizens.
Resolved, That local self-govern
ment, with impartial suffrage, will
guard the rights of all citizens more
securely than any centralized au
thority. It is time to stop the grow
ing encroachments of the Execu
tive {lower, the use of coercion or
bribery to ratify a treaty, the packing
of a supreme Court to relieve rich cor
porations, the seating of members of
Congress not elected by the people, the
resort to unconstitutional laws to cure
the Ku-Klux disorder. We demand
for the individual the largest liberty
consistent with public order, for the
State self-government and for the na
tion the return to the methods of peace
and the limitation of power.
Resolved, That it is alike the duty of
honest men of all parties to expose cor
ruption, denounce the usurpation of
power and work for reforms necessary
for the public welfare. The times de
mand an uprising of honest citizens to
sweep from power men who prostitute
their official positions to selfish interests.
Resolved, That we repudiate with
scorn the oft-repeated slander of our
opponents, that the Democracy of Con
necticut arc in favor of repudiating
any portion of the national debt, even
so much as has been fastened upon us
by extravagance and fraud, and that
we are for paying that debt to its last
dollar.

Yl hat has been Proved.
In the investigation of the New York
Custom House, the following facts have
been proved in spite of the persistent
efforts of a majority of the Whitewash
ing Committee to suppress and prevent
the testimony and to frighten and
browbeat the witnesses:
1. That the so-called General Order
business is a system of barefaced rob
bery, amounting to (perhaps) 8200,
000 a year.
2. That Leet and others, who have
shared this plunder, are close and inti-
matte friends of President Grant, and
wrote their letters on blank letter-sheets
dalcd "Executive Mansion,” Wash
ington.
3. That Leet, the chief ruler of the
gang, was appointed at the special
written reguest of the President; a re
quest wluch..was practically-—;as.the
Collector well knew—a command,
which he could not afford to disregard
if he cared to retain his own place.
4. That the New York merchants
have been treated by Grant and the
officials at Washington as but so much
game, to be plucked by "personal and
political friends of the President, and
in spite, too, of the earnest and oft-re
peated remonstrances of the victims—
remonstrances made, for upwards of a
year, by Mr. Stewart and others, who
appealed directly to the President,
but always appealed in vain.

pathv for the struggling republics of
South America, as well as for the op
pressed Greeks—and grateful for the
aid which the founders of our republic
received from the countrymen of La
fayette, Montgomery, Steuben and
Pulaski, feel impelled by these consid
erations, as well as by our obligations
to our common humanity, to lift up
our voices in behalf of the suffering
Cubans now desperately struggling for
relief from their oppressors, who set at
naught all the usages of civilized war
fare, in their savage butchery of cap
tive men, women and children.
Resolved, That we nre in favor of a
liberal system of free schools, and
] irotest against all interference by the
General Government with institutions
so purely local, and concerning so deep
ly and tenderly the ties which bind
them to our homes and to the State.
Resolved, That we look liack with
pride and satisfaction to the govern
ment of onr State while administered
in its Executive Department by our
distinguished citizen James E. English,
under whose name we have won bril
liant victories in defense of the Consti
tution, and whom we should have been
’lad to have our leader again, if it had
been consistent with his private con
cerns to yield his consent.
Resolved, That in presenting Hon.
Richard 1). Iluhbard for Governor,
and bis associates on the State ticket,
to the citizens of this State for their
suffrages at the coming State election,
we cordially endorse the sentiment em
bodied in the foregoing resolutions.
