WEDNESDAY, MAY £5. 18S1.
Grant’s letter attracted no more atten
tion than a manifesto from Private
Dalzell. The Memphis Avalanche thinks
the fact may as well be admitted that
Grant, as a political force, has been
buried beyond the reach of any resurrec
tion.
The advice of the Washington Poet to
the New York Democrats is as follows:
“Replace Conkling and Platt with two
Democrats if you can. Faiiing in that,
succeed the two Republicans with Conk
ling and a Democrat. Failing in that,
re-elect Conkling and Platt. Do these
things as time and occasion are propi
tious and serve you.
For originality and unexpectedness,
the star route frauds surpass all other
methods invented by the Radicals for
stealing public money through the forms
•of law. The latest discovery is of Route
No. 35,156, in Montana, which lay in
part across an Indian reservation where
there can be, by law, no post offices. A
jocose postmaster kept a single circular
traveling back and foith in a pouch for
a long time, and that i3 all the daily mail
this daily route seems practically to have
had.
It has been at last ascertained where
Lord Beaconsfield was born. He was
born in the Adelphi, in London. He
was apprenticed to William Stevens,
Solicitor, November 10, 1821, and for
awhile did the usual routine of an attor
ney’s clerk. Several papers are extant,
indorsed, “Served copy on clerk on date,
B. D'L” He did not stick to the office,
but took to novel writing before he was
twenty. He was born in 1804, and not
1305, as published in most of the obitua
ries. ’
The Cincinnati Gazette thinks that,
now he has finished his eulogistic life
of Grant, Adam Badeau should return
to the War Department the papers he
took for use in that work, and intimates
a belief that he had a rather free and
loose run of the department. It says
that when any such documents are
missing there is apt to be a suspicion of
persons who have had such advantages,
and instances the report of the court of
inquiry on Gen. Buell, which has dis
appeared from the files of the depart
ment.
The New England mill hands have
begun an agitation in favor of a reduc
tion of the working time in the mills to
ten hours a day. It is natural that ihe
manufacturers should oppose the reduc
tion, but they have chosen a very singu
lar reason for their opposition. They
claim that if they give their hands any
more time they will devote this extra
time to whisky, tobacco and other evil
practices, and thus demoralize them for
work. The only way to keep them
thoroughly moral is to keep them busily
employed, except when they are eating
and sleeping.
France having established a protecto
rate over Tunis, which is a part of the
Ottoman empire, has only followed the
fashion prevalent in Europe now. Some
twenty-five years or more ago England,
France and Sardinia fought the Crimean
war to prevent Russian encroachments
on Turkish territory. Since then Eng
land has got Cyprus, wiiiie Austria
carved off Bosnia, and lately Greece got
a slice in Albania and Macedonia. It
remains now for Russia to take a hand
in the game. Perhaps such an event
would amuse the Nihilists and give
Alexander a breathing spell.
Governor Cornell is reported as having
said to a gentleman who called upon
him that if the Legislature should ad
journ without electing United States
Senators, he should be compelled
to reconvene it for the special
purpose of filling the vacant places. He
is afraid of the people, and anxious to be
a Senator himself. In a word, if the
Legislature should adjourn without
electing Senators, it would be such a
defeat of Conkling as would justify
Governor Cornell in being a candidate
himself. He would, therefore, recall the
Legislature. Well, it’s Done of our fight.
Out of all the dailies published in New
York city, but two —the Herald and
Commercial Advertiser— indorse Mr.
Conkling’s course. The former is not a
professedly Republican paper, although
such in fact Of the regular Republi
can organs, the Advertiser, only, sup
ports the ex Senator. Not even the
Times, stalwart as it is, is upon his side.
Avery similar state of affairs prevails
throughout the country. There are very
few Republican journals which may be
classed as belonging to the Conkling
faction, and there is very little doubt
that this journalistic division is cor
rectly representative of sentiment in the
party at large.
The New York Sun learns of a heavy
emigration from California to Sonora,
Mexico. It fears, however, that many
of these emigrants are adventurers and
speculators, who settle in the country
with the hope of raising an insurrection
or rebellion against the government
within a few years and then securing an
nexation to the United States. If this
be their intention they had better give
it up, the Sun declares. The Indian in
habitants of Sonora, the Yaquis, are
numerous, and the most warlike and
bravest of all the Mexican tribes, and
unless the white colonists are very nu
merous are likely to cause them trouble.
The Sun properly denies and ridicules
the idea of the people of the United
States participating in er favoring any
movement of this kind.
The Detroit Free Press is of the
opinion that a lack of amiability on the
part of my Lord Conkling is at the bot
tom of all his trouble and tribulation.
That paper thinks if the ex-SeDator had
said to Garfield, as he does to the Senate
pages, “Will you be kind enough to do
this for me, my little man?” all might
have gone well. On the other hand, if
Garfield had imitated Gen. Taylor’s
treatment of Webster, everything would
have been serene. Taylor’s nomination
Webster pronounced “unfit to be made.”
After his election, Tavlor wrote Web
ster saying that he fully concurred in
that opinion, but, as a majority of the
people differed from both of them on
that subject, their choice had imposed
on him the duty of selecting a Cabinet
in which, he said. “I cordially invite
you to accept the Department of State.”
This must have been a specimen of
“the old fashioned courtesy,” whose
lack in modern days is sometimes de
plored. The “courtesy of the Senate”
-wituted for it
Concerning Rings.
M. Charaay, the French archeologist,
who has been for some months exploring
anew the remains of the ancient civiliza
tion of Mexico, and publishing his diary
in the North American Review, has, ac
cording to his own account, established
a fact of much value in settling the vex
ed question of the age of the Central
American temples. Those of Palenque,
in the southernmost State of the Mexican
confederation,have been thought by many
to be of vast antiquity, and one of the
principal arguments in favor of their
great age has been drawn from the fact
that out of the ruins have grown trees of
immense size, whose trunks contained so
many hundred concentric rings as to daze
those who attempted to calculate the date
of the ruins below. It can be readily un
derstood that these trees grew in that
climate with amazing rapidity, and
their mere size was not much of a
stumbling-block. But the number of
riDgs they bore was fatal to the theory
of rapid growth so long as each ring was
counted as a year. M. Charnay says
that each one does not represent a year
in that land of perpetual summer, and
that anew ring may form every month.
According to the old estimates some of
the trees that sprouted alter the ruin of
the Palenque temples lived nearly two
thousand years. Mr. Stephens did much
to upset all this, but Charnay does more.
He has found forty rings in a sapling
less than two years old. One “ring” a
month may do for the latitude of Cen
tral America, but we know a district
further north where they form faster than
that—concentric rings, too.
The Patronage of the New York Col
lector.
The patronage of the Collector of the
port of New York is very immense.
He has at his disposal, with the appro
val of the Secretary of the Treasury,
nearly one thousand appointments, the
salaries of which aggregate $1,400,000 a
year. The patronage includes one as
sistant collector, ten deputy collectors,
forty-nine messengers, twenty-two labor
ers, seven weighers and gaugers, eight
foremen and janitors, eighty-four as
sistant weighers, two hundred and
eighty-six inspectors at four dollars a
day, four Long Island coast inspectors,
one hundred and nine night watchmen,
nine inspectresses, and other employes.
The new Collector appoints his deputies
on taking his office. The term of Col
lector is for four years, and the salary
is $12,000 a year. He receives about
$5,000 additional in fees.
It is not a surprise, therefore, that the
lordly Roscoe took exception to the ap
pointment of Judge Robertson, his bitter
enemy, to this position. For years Conk
ling has controlled the appointments of
the New York custom house, and it was
through its tremendous influence that he
controlled the State, and dictated the
policy and acts of the Republican party.
That lost to him, and all was lost, and
well did Blaine know this. The mighty
Roscoe has fallen, and now it seems that
he has but few friends to do him
reverence.
It must, says the Nashville American,
be evident to the most careless observer
that, while Mr. Garfield was entitled to
be sustained and even commended in his
contest with Conkling, he has done
nothing to lift the administration of the
vast machinery of the government above
a merely low partisan level. It was all
truce, sop to Cerberus faction, reward
for party and not meritorious service.
His appointment of Matthews was bad
on its face. Perhaps it may turn out
better than he had any right
to believe it would. His appointment
of Chandler was detestable. Such aid
as he gave Mahone was on the
borders of criminal folly. It is neees
sary to bear in mind that reformation
and the nearest practicable approach to
ideal administration lies somewhere in
the future. It is well not to forget this in
applauding such acts as deserve support.
There is danger sometimes of going too
far in approval of an administration
when it has done some single meritorious
act. Mr. Garfield was right in his con
troversy with Conkling over the Robert
son appointment, but only because Mr.
Conkling was wrong. He has really
done no positive act to lift his adminis
tration above those of Grant and Hayes.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune boasts of the thoroughness of the
Little Rock Cotton Seed Oil Mill, aDd
with reason. There is probably no other
manufactory in the world so complete
as a cotton seed oil mill, and this is among
the most complete of these factories.
The raw cotton seed reaches the mill—
only this and nothing more—and not
only comes out a finished article but per
forms nearly the whole work of manu
facturing itself. The mill is lighted
with crude oil, the boilers heated with
hulls as fuel and the seed crushed by
hydraulic pressure, the crude oil itself
being used for this purpose instead of
water. As for the lint cotton, scraped
from the seed, it is passed to another
building and there converted into yarns,
rope, cordage, twine, batting and mat
tress and quilt laps. Nothing is lost or
wasted.
Cuba's new press laws are said to work
even more to the disadvantage of news
papers than did the late censorship of
the press. One provision of the new
law requires that the matter intended
for each edition of a paper shall be
shown to a government official two
hours before it is given to the public.
Anyone who knows anything about
newspaper offices can see in an instant
how utterly destructive such a law must
be of all journalistic enterprise. Imagine
an important item telegraphed to a news
paper and then kept back two hours
that a government official may first de
termine whether it is matter proper for
publication? Already one paper has had
a whole edition confiscated because of a
violation of the law.
The Cotton Seed Oil Business.— A
conference of the cotton 6eed oil manu
facturers of the South was held in Cin
cinnati during last week, and various
matters connected with the business dis
cussed. The transactions in this busi
ness now reach over $10,000,000, and
the capital invested in it is over $5,000,-
000. The business has been of rapid
growth, and is assuming importance as
another of the industries of the South.
The cotton seeds from the gin houses
were formerly used as manure or left to
rot in piles' Within the last ten years,
however, their value as oil producers has
led to the building of over fifty oil mills
in the Southern States.
Garfield is presented by Puck as Sex
tus, the Pope who went on crutches and
played the feeble old man until he was
elected Pope, and then threw away his
crutches and appeared as he was to the
panic stricken Cardinals—a strong, able
ruler of all around him. Mr. Garfield
presents a very heroic appearance as he
casts away his crutches and stands out
before the Cardinal Senators who crouch
before him— all except Conkling, who
show c fight.
Quarantine and Public Health.
They are beginning already to have the
usual trouble with outsiders about quar
antine down at New Orleans. The Gov
ernor of Texas leads off by inquiring,
with some degree of petulance, “whether
the local authorities are going to insist
on admitting vessels from Vera Cruz?’’
The answer is, that the Vera Cruz
steamers do not come up the Mississippi
river to New Orleans, because they
would have to pass a quarantine station;
but of this fact the Texas Executive
appears to have been ignorant. The
Louisiana State Board, as if by
way of offset, improves the oppor
tunity to ask him what Texas has
done as yet to improve upon the
old quarantine system handed down
from the dark ages! Also, why ships
are simply detained at quarantine a
certain space of time, when it is well
established that vessels may bear infec
tion through a six months’ voyage?
They ironically suggest that there is not
on the Texas coast a single warehouse
where the cargoes can be discharged and
the vessel fumigated; while, on the other
hand, they are reminded that Louisiana
has supplied all the facilities for unload
ing and purifying vessels of the largest
size with dispatch, and that its
health authorities are keeping pace
with the most advanced sanitary sys
tems adopted in Europe and at the
North Atlantic ports. Perhaps the most
striking feature of the situation, how
ever, is an appeal from the New Orleans
Medical and Surgical Association and
the Louisiana Board of Health to the
National Board to protect New Orleans
against infection from the North and
West. “Typhus fever, small pox and
other contagious diseases,” we are told,
“are now prevalent in the Northern and
Western cities, and are claiming more
victims than the yellow fever ever
did during the seasons when it
“prevailed epidemically.” As New Or
leans is free from these dangerous dis
eases, that city asks to be protected
against their introduction by the Nation
al Board. Not only this, the health au
thorities request that “a system of rail
r6ad and vessel inspection be at once put
in operation at New York, Chicago, Cin
cinnati and other large cities that are
thus dangerously infected” for the bene
fit of New Orleans. The Picayune there
upon declares, with a show of indigna
tion, that “the National Board will fail
to perform its whole duty if it neglects
to comply with this very reasonable re
quest. ”
This demand of New Orleans
health authorities for protection against
infection from Northern and West
ern cities is regarded as utterly
absurd by the press of those cit
ies. Speaking for New York, the
Commercial Bulletin of Monday says:
“We do not know how it is at Chicago
and Cincinnati, but we have official au
thority for the statement that last week
but few cases of typhus fever were re
ported within the city limits; and as re
gards small-pox and other contagious
diseases, these are so rapidly on the de
cline as to occasion no apprehension
whatever. During the first three days
of the week but seventeen cases in all
had been reported to the Board, of
Health; and what is therr in that, among
a million and a quarter of people, for
the New Orleans Medk-al Association
and the Louisiana Board of Health
to make an ado about? The truth is, we
suspect, their credulity has been prac
ticed upon by the journalistic outcry here
about the dirty streets. The motive be
ing to some extent a political one, the
language employed by our contempora
ries was sometimes more zealous than
discreet, and hence the mischievous im
pression has gone abroad that New York
is in so desperate a condition as to require
other communities, as a matter of self
protection, to phee her in quarantine!
If the thing is seriously meant, nothing
could be more preposterous or silly.”
The Proposed Land-Locked Water-
Way from the Mississippi River to
the Atlantic Ocean.
Editor Morning News: In your issue
of 18th inst. you referred to the trip of
Messrs. Fordham and Shepard North, in
the interest of the Okefenokee canal
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
river. Capitalists are taking a deep in
terest in the matter, and there is every
reason to believe that these gentlemen
will be successful. It has been said that
the opening of the Mississippi passes
render such a canal unnecessary. The
statistics of the millions of dollars added
insurance upon vessels and freights
around the capes of Florida ; the superior
health of the Atlantic ports from
Charleston to Jacksonville over New
Orleans; the fact that vast
quantities of grain cannot be
stored in New Orleans in
hot weather, owing to peculiarities of
the climate, while no such objection
exists to Savannah, Charleston, Bruns
wick, Fernandina, St. Mary’s and Jack
sonville ; that such a canal can be con
structed for about $10,000,000, or half
the cost of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad; that barges can be carried
through the canal from St. Louis aDd
points higher up the river without break
ing bulk, and take their choice of all the
harbors between Jacksonville and
Charleston, through the inland water
route, which is really a continuation of
the canal, insure its construction in the
near future, and the importance of
this canal to all the cities named
cannot be overestimated. It is
the key to the canal situation.
South of it there is no harbor on the At
lantic coast of the peninsula of Florida
adequate for the business of a large
canal, and the expense of constructing
an artificial harbor would be enormous.
General Gillmore has recommended it as
the route for either a barge or ship canal,
in a report made to the Senate m 1877,
and in another based upon actual sur
veys made in 1880. He has compared it
with every other canal project, from the
St. Lawience south, and declared in its
favor for cheapness of construction,
carrying capacity, water supply, expense
of repairs, freedom from dangers by
floods, and by ice and snow.
The Okefenokee is upon a depression
of the Blue Ridge, upon a hill. Its
waters flow south into the Gulf, via the
Suwannee, north into the Atlantic, via
the St. Mary’s rivers. Its summit level
is 125 feet above tide water. Whether
the canal was completed immediately or
not, it could be drained in the prosecu
tion of the aanal project, and over 400, •
000 acres in the swamp, 100,000 acres in
bay swamp, which flows into it, and
nearly 200,000 acres on its borders, now
inundated in wet weather, could be
drained, and thus over 600,000 acres of
as fine land as can be found in the coun
try reclaimed to cultivation in cane,
cotton and vegetables, thus opening up
a valuable territory to the Wavcross and
Florida Railroad. G.
The whole kingdom of fins, furs and
feathers has been ransacked to find
names for the Utica statesman. He has
been called a pouter pigeon, a gold fish,
a peacock, a giraffe and a turkey gobbler.
He seems to be playing possum just
now.

Facts vs. Claims.
Notwithstanding the great rush of Customers we’ve had during the past
six weeks, and the large amount of SPRING and SUMMER CLOTHING,
HATS and GENTS’ FURNISHING GOODS we’ve sold in that time, our
stock keeps still complete, as we receive additions thereto almost by every
steamer from New York. The people are realizing the fact that to buy
good Clothing is cheapest in the end, especially when they can be bought
at such low figures as we are selling them this season; and that we have
always endeavored to procure the very best goods in the market, and of
the very best makers, is a fact long known to our many customers. These
are not mere claims, but facts, of which we are ready to convince all those
who may favor us with a trial.

SINCE the introduction of this Spool Cotton
iato the American market, its success has
been unprecedented. No other brand of thread
has ever met with the same amount of public
favor in the same space of time.
The “O. N. T.” manufacturers were the first
to recognize the importance of the Sewing Ma
chine and to make a six-cord cotton, which has
ever since been the recognized standard for
machines.
All the improvements in machinery that the
inventive genius of the nineteenth century has
produced have been adapted by the manufac
turers of “O. N. T.”
At all the great International Fairs of the
world, “O. N. T.’’ has been awarded the highest
honors.
The “O. N. T.” factories at Newark, N. J.,
and Paisley, Scotland, employ 5,200 operatives
—make sufficient thread daily to go around the
world four times.
Consume 140 tons of coal daily.
The manufacturers of “O. N. T.” are the
largest manufacturers of Spool Cotton in the
world.
A full assortment of this Spool Cotton can be
had at wholesale and retail at DANIEL HO
GAN’S, JACOB COHEN’S, MOHR BROS’, DA
VID WEISBEIN’S and GUTMAN BROS’.
