FRIDAY, JUNE *,1381.
The New York Legislature has re
stored the tax on immigrants. An act
just passed makes provision for collect
ing from the steamship companies $1
per head on all steerage passengers
landed at the port of New York.
Carl Schurz begins his editorial work
on the New York Ecening Post with any
quantity of danger signals flying for the
benefit of the Republican party. Mr.
Schurz sees very ugly breakers ahead,
and earnestly beseeches the Republican
leaders to return to the paths of virtue.
Secretary Blaine has concluded an
agreement with the British Minister, Sir
Edward Thornton, by which the British
Government is to pay £15,000 as a com
pensation for injuries done to American
fishermen at Fortune Bay in 1878, and
later at Aspec Bay, Cape Breton, and
our government gives a receipt in full.
Nearly the whole amount will go to
Gloucester, Mass.
Either the foreign policy of Englaud
has been a stupendous blunder for half
a decade or Mr. Gladstone’s administra
tion is making a serious mistake. The
war with the Boers was abandoned for
the surprising reason that it was unjust,
and now what Beaconsfield termed the
scientific frontier in Asia, which cost
England millions of money and thous
ands of lives, is being rapidly given up.
“A great financial achievement” is the
characterization of the WiDdom refund
ing, which is made by some Republican
papers. “Great,” it certainly is, if only
the amount of the bonds “extended,” is
considered. But if the degree of benefit
to the people is considered, it becomes
the ieverse of “great.” There is nothing
commendable in paying 34 per cent, in
terest when 3 per cent, would have
sufficed.
According to the Springfield Republi
can. the President has spoken of Mr.
Conkling as follows: “He wants to lock
me in the eye, does he ? Let him come
into the room, and I will look him iD
the eye when he comes in, and give him
my boot when he goes out.” It seem?
incredible that the President should
have spoken thus, but in the present con
dition of the Republican party and in
this present “off year,” nothing in the
way of extreme bitterness of expression
is wholly improbable.
New Orleans does not puff herself up
with windy pride and put on airs, but
she could if she wanted to. Last month
her total exports amounted in round
numbers to $11,300,000, which were
nearly twice the exports shipped from
Boston, and nearly $1,000,000 more than
the combined exports of Boston and
Philadelphia, $4,000,000 more than the
combined exports of Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and only $2,500,000 less than
the combined exports of Boston, Phila
delphia and Baltimore.
There is a bitter anti Eoglish feeling
current among the people of Rassia —
indeed, the two countries are natural
enemies. When, therefore, the Jews of
England met and adopted resolutions
calling on the British Government to in
terfere in behalf of their coreligionists
in the domains of the Czar, it placed
the Russian Jews in the awkward posi
tion that this interference in their be
half only excited the peasants more
against them. They have accordingly
requested their brethren in Great Britain
to cease any agitation of the matter just
at present, as it will only cause more of
them to be massacred.
Jefferson Davis is described as being
much pleased and touched by the triend
ly fashion in which various citizens of
Chicago greeted him on the streets the
other day. General J. C. Wright, an
old classmate at West Point, says that
Mr. Davis is perfectly content and satis
fied with the result of the war, and
wouldn’t have slavery restored if every
negro in the South would beg to have
the old conditions renewed. General
Wright says also that Mr. Davis is a very
poor man. He had to borrow money to
pay off the debts on the Beauvoir estate,
and his own plantation he has leased to
his old slaves, who never make more
than a living from it.
The news from Europe seems to indi
cate that Spain wiil follow the example
of the French in Africa by absorbing
Morocco. Both France and Germany
approve of the plan, and it is not proba
ble that the other powers would make
any objection. Spain once held nearly
all Morocco, but of late years her pos
sessions have been confined to a few
towns on the coast. As the country is
horribly governed, and subject every
few years to desolating famines, the
Spanish occupation would be for the
benefit of the Moors as well as advan
tageous for Europe. As the army of
Morocco is a mere myth, the country
could be absorbed as easily as France
has occupied Tunis.
At the State Convention which nomi
nated Mr. Cornell for Governor at the
command of Mr. Conkling, the latter
delivered one of his “greatest efforts,”
and in the course of it asked: “Is there
a Republican, be his preference for one
man or one candidate or another, who
will not at such a crisis stand by the
foundation stones of his faith? Is there
a Republican who, between his country
and his creed on one side, and some
trivial prejudice on the other, would
turn his back on creed and country?
There is no such Republican, and there
fore no one have I offended!” It is from
such sentiments, as expressed by Mr.
Conkling at several points of his career
when he was the oppressor instead of the
oppressed, that his enemies now draw
for considerable and effective ammuni
tion against him.
The desolating war on the Pacific
coast of South America, between Peru
and Chili, promises to be followed by a
struggle on the Atlantic side of that con
tinent. The relations between Brazil
and the Argentine Confederation are, to
use a diplomatic word, “strained.” The
trouble began on the river Perana,where
a vessel of war of the Argentine Re
public opened fire on the Brazilian
steamer “Inca,” for an alleged infraction
of etiquette in the matter of a salute.
Not content with this open attack, the
Argentine sailors insulted the Brazilians
by calling them “monkies. ” The Em
peror’s representative at Buenos Ayres
has been requested to demand an ex
planation of this conduct and an apology.
The two powers, who were allies a few
years ago to destroy the republic of
Paraguay, are now mutually jealous and
unfriendly, and it is more than probable
that this little affair may be made the
■excuse for actual hostilities.
Democratic IfPTTB. “
It is said to be an “ill wind that blows
nobody goodand the storms and tem
pests now sweeping the Republican hori
zon stem likely to turn to the advantage
of Democracy. Indeed, the events al
luded to seem already to have stiffened
the backbone of the Democratic party,
and encouraged it to hope for further
victories in the coming future. The Ma
hone breeze in the Senate was met by the
Democrats with manly nerve and bold
ness, and skillfully changed to a Conk
ling storm, which quickly blew the
whole kettle of fish out of Washington
and overwhelmed Albany with the
debris. This was a sudden and very un
expected visitation upon the State which
gave the c&stiDg vote in the Presidential
election, and raised an exceedingly
grave doubt in the minds of Republicans
whether the adoption of either horn of
the dilemma presented would lead to
peace and prosperity in their affairs. So
evenly balanced have remained, up to
this writing, the incongruous elements
of its wings, and so hostile in purpose
and intent, that we are still left in doubt
as to the final result, while we seem to
have increased evidences of further
reward to Democratic nerve.
"Whom the gods destroy they first
make mad,” was the way the ancients
thought about a politician who persisted
in the struggle against overwhelming
opposition, or drew the sword of arro
gance in despair. Whether Mr. Conk
ling is destined to this fate events have
not yet fully determined, but the evi
dences seem strong that his coup d'etat
was a sad failure, and likely to bury the
brilliant pop-m-jay of the Senate beneath
the political ruins of his own conjura
tion.
Jefferson Davis.
“Let us relieve the Romans of their
fears,” said Hannibal, “by closing the
existence of a feeble old maD.” Ex-
President, Jefferson Davis, singular
enough, occupies the same position in
reference to the stalwart Northerners that
the great Carthagenian General did to
the Romans. Both came within a
“stone’s throw” (New York Tribune) of
totally subverting the opposing govern
ment, having crushed their great armies
at the very gates of their capitals. The
same fears which hunted down Hanni
bal now traduce Mr. Jefferson Davis, the
difference being in the advance of civili
zation. That civilization should exempt
him from such annoyance, and raise our
Yankee kinsmen to the exalted appre
ciation in the living, of the genius they
*o much delight to honor in the dead.
Mr. Davis is among the least dangerous
men in the South, because be is among
the greatest devotees to the principles of
free government; and had he conquered
the North the Union would no doubt
have been reconstructed upon the prin
ciples of the same Constitution.
“The country is sick of the Republi
canism of which Mr. Conkling is the
type. The Republican party is tired of
bossism, quarrels about patronage, sla
very to the machine and the statesman
ship of the feed-trough.”— New York
Tribune.
Mr. ConkliDg, remarks the Courier
Journal, is the type of the Republican
ism which has conducted our govern
ment for twenty years. He was, up to
a very recent date, the recognized bead
of the party. He asserts that he repre
sents all there is of Republicanism, and
we are inclined to believe him. “Boss
ism, quarrels about patronage, slavery to
the machine and the statesmanship of
the feed-trough” have been the distin
guishing features of Republicanism ever
since the war. The fight with Andrew
Johnson was over the spoils, and the
party has been wrangling over spoils
ever since. The country is, indeed, sick
of such Republicanism, and the best
thing the Tribune can do is to repudiate
the disgusting organization and turn over
anew leaf.
St. Nicholas fob June.—The June
number of St. Nicholas has specially at
tractive contents. There is a story of a
freshet, by Sarah J. Pritchard, illustrated
by a striking frontispiece, and a very
lively tale of novel incidents, entitled
“Pease-Porridge Cold.” “In Nature’s
Wonderland,” is very well illustrated,
and describes interesting adventures in
the American tropics. "The Treasure
Box of Literature” presents an extract
from a poem by James Russell Lowell,
President Lincoln’s world-famed Gettys
burg speech, and Judge Finch’s poem,
“The Blue and the Gray.” A timely
feature of the number is a collection of
capital tableaux vivants, by G. B. Bart
lett, called “The Giant Picture Book,”
which can be presented by young
students at the close of the school term.
The two serial stories, with capital pic
tures and lively dialogue, are full of
genuine fun and boy-spirit.
Russia. —The retrograde movement of
the Czar in bis late manifesto declaring
“unshaken faith in the strength and jus
tice of the autocratic power which (he)
has been called upon to support and
preserve for the people’s good from all
impairment and injury," at one fell blow
crushes out the hitherto advancing hopes
of constitutional reform, and relegates
the empire to dire revolution and blood
shed untold. “Autocratic power” may
stave off the evil day for a season, but
it will surely come, and Russia, as other
progressive nations before her, must pass
the ordeal of constitutional reformation.
It would be a happy event for mankind
if Alexander IIL could be induced by
the great minds of Europe to recognize
the civilization of the age and acknow
ledge the irresistible march of progress.
Thausportation Sensations.—New
York city has been discussing an Eng
lish proposition to develop Southern
Texas, in connection with Jay Gould’s
great Mississippi barge transportion of
grain; and Gotham has about decided
that to put a check upon Mr. Gould in
the Northwest, she must make her great
canal free and dig another across the
headwaters of the Mississippi to the
great lakes. Truly, these are times of
great things. Pharaoh's pyramids,
Cleopatra's “needles,” Chinese walls,
Diana’s temples, the Collossus of Rhodes,
Venetia’s viaduct and Rome’s aqueduct,
all shrivel and sink into insignificance
before the mighty enterprises of the
nineteenth century.
When base ball and boating do not in*
habit the brains of college students in
the North, the very old Harry seems to
take their place. Avery cunningly de
vised little contrivance for blowing up
the State University of Illinois has been
discovered under one of the buildings at
Champaigne. It was composed of shav
ings, kerosene, cotton, burning candles
and gunpowder, and although it would
have done credit to the longest headed
Nihilist in Russia, there is no doubt but
it was the work of some students who
desired to precipitate a vacation.
Cruel.—The Washington Star (Rep.)
says: “If Mr. Conkling fails to get
back to the Senate there is one congenial
field open to him, which he should not
overlook. He will make a magnificent
hotel clerk.”
The Radical Imbroglio InNewYorkT
The balloting at Albany yesterday
showed a decrease, of strength on the
part of Conkling, -who received only
33 votes, one _than on Wednes
day. After all his efforts to recover his
lost ground—after all the personal efforts
of himself, his henchman, Platt, and
Vice President Arthur to bring the Re
publicans up to his support, a vote of
only thirty-three out of a pos
sible one hundred and sixty one is
a result as mortifying to his pride as it
is conclusive of his fall. It is now gen
erally conceded that the lordly Conk
ling cannot be elected to fill the vacancy
which, in his petulant arrogance, he
created without the aid of Democratic
votes, which there is no probability of
his receiving. The New York Tribune
counted Conkling and Platt both out of
the race when the result of the first bal
lot was announced. That paper says:
“There are only two solutions of the
present crisis. First, the adjournment
of the Legislature by a Conkling-Tilden
coalition; and, second, the election of
two Republicans, by Republican votes.
It does not seem credible that any Re
publican should hesitate a moment as to
his duty in these circumstances. There
are two vacancies in the Senate of the
United States; the Republican State of
New York has the right and the power
to fill them to-day with Republicans. If
by the treachery of twenty-six members
of the Legislature those seats arc sold or
given away, and the Republican majori
ty in the Senate is thus lost for years to
come, no sufficient excuse can ever be
made for the men who shared in the act.
Two Republicans can be elected to-day.
It requires but 81 votes, and we have
106. No matter about the motives of
members, it is their acts by which they
will be judged. There will be no future
for any Assemblyman or Senator who
to-day, for any reason, sells out to the
Democrats.”
The Tribune is evidently apprehensive
of a prolongation of the dead lock, by
which the choice of Senators to fill the
present vacancies would be devolved on
the next Legislature to be elected this
fall, when the very strong probabilities
are that two Democrats would be chosen.
The adjournment of the Legislature
over to Tuesday is evidently for the
purpose of giving opportunity for the
anti-Conkling Republicans to agree upon
two candidates to be supported by the
party. Then, as the Tribune declares,
“there will be no future for any (Repub
lican) Assemblyman or Senator’’ who
does not acquiesce in their election,
which would be equivalent to selling out
to the Democrats.
A Small Chapter of History.
General Sherman, in his letter to Judge
Cowley, of Massachusetts, who recently
delivered the Decoration day address at
Beaufort, S. C., explains his order No.
15, dated Savannah, Ga., January 16,
1865. giving lands to freedmen. Those
orders, he says, were made after a full
conference with the Secretary of War,
who came to Savannah for the purpose
of recreation and consultation, and went
as far as existing law and the Constitu
tion warranted, and the reasons why
they did not fulfill the full measure of
his intentions were that the war termi
nated soon after, and the Constitution
regained its full force, “no attainder of
treason shall work corruption of
blood, or forfeiture, except during the
life of the person attainted.” That he
could not and did not attempt to give
more than possessory titles to continue
while the war lasted. It L evident from
the foregoing that Stanton instigated the
order to turn Southern people out of
their homes, and the fact but added an
other crime to the roll of his infamies
against the South, while it strengthens
general opinion that of all the enemies
of the South in that war he was the most
vindictive hater, the most indomitable,
blood-thirsty pursuer. Others tired of
the fratricidal butchery, but Stanton
never.
An Effective Tax Levy.— There is
still a wholesome regard for the sanctity
of an oath in Vermont. The basis of
taxation in that State has been more
than doubled since the assessment of
1880 by the simple expedient of requir
ing the tax payer to swear to the correct
ness of the return which he makes of
taxable property. Before this provision
was added to the revenue laws nearly
the whole burden of taxation fell upon
real estate. Personal property was hid
den away, and the payment of tax
thereon evaded by various devices. Re
turns of the new assessment in forty
seven towns show an increase of $35,-
000,000, and if the ratio is kept up over
the State, more than $100,000,000 will be
added to the taxable basis. This large
sum represents taxable personal property
which has heretofore escaped taxation
by being kept out of sight. The levy
rate for State purposes in Vermont is
17 cents on the SIOO, and the somewhat
unexpected enlargement of the taxable
basis will fill the Treasury to overflow
ing-
Post Route Frauds.— The star route
investigations convict the late Mr. Hayes
and his administration, and show that
sanctimonious hypocrite to have been as
willfully blind to the plunderings of the
Treasury by his corrupt supporters as
ever Grant was. The latest revelation,
Route No. 39,122, in New Mexico, has
been proved a complete fraud, connived
at by Hayes, his Postmaster General
(Maynard), and on down to Brady, Cork
hill and McGrcw, who refused to exam
ine the evidences when pressingly pre
sented. It appears that James B. Price,
one of the ring, drew from the Treasury
& clear profit of $20,000 a year for a
pretended service, specified in the con
tract but never performed. Brady & Cos.
have been turned over to the grand jury,
upon which Brady boasted that he had
“a corner.”
Illinois Legislation. —The Chicago
Tribune regrets that it cannot say the
Illinois Legislature, recently adjourned,
earned the applause or respect of the
people of the State; that it has been a
wasteful and extravagaut session, at
least twice as long as there was aDy
occasion for, and the legislation itself,
with small exception, inconsequential
or vicious. In addition to the evils in
this grave charge, the body adjourned
without passing upon important matters,
necessitating a called session by the
Governor. It would appear that the
Illinoisans are “two much governed,”
and we are not sure that some other
States are exempt from the same super
fluity.
Stumping France. —Now a French
man would not know what that means,
and yet hia distinguished countryman,
M. Gambetta, has become so far Ameri
canized, or Repnblicanized, that he does
not now hesitate, in forwarding his
measures, to violate all French prece
dent, shock the profoundest depths of
aristocratic pride, dignity and self
respect, by going out among the people
and addressing public audiences all over
the country, as we plain American Re
publicans do. In fact, Gambetta is
learning a useful lesson from us, plain
as we are; he is learning that to establish
a strong, free, stable government, the
rulers must get close to the people and stay
there.
“Reform Needed In the Federal
Judiciary.
The paper contributed to the May
number of the North American Review
by ex Justice William Strong, late of the
Supreme Court of the United States, is
worthy of attention by those members of
the legal profession whose practice leads
them into the Federal Courts. Mr.
Strong has had much experience both
at the bar aDd on the bench.
He was a Judge of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania for eleven years
(from 1857 till 1868), and was an Associ
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States from 1870 until his recent
resignation. While at the bar he bad a
large practice in the United States courts.
He has therefore had ample opportunities
of informing himself as to the proper
methods of improving the court of last
resort in the Union and placing it upon
a basis commensurate with the interests
with which it is entrusted.
This learned jurist says that the pres
sure of business upon that court is so
freat that much of it remains undone.
between the filiDg of a case and the final
decision, sometimes as many as four
years elapse. This is certainly, in many
cases, a practical denial of justice. It is
well that Mr. Strong has seen fit to give
the country the benefit of his vast expe
rience. What he says will be thorough
ly believed, for he speaks from no inter
ested motives, being no loiter on the
bench or engaged in the practice of his
profession His experience is valuable,
and if it shall result in a thorough reor
ganization of the court, he will accom
plish a work that will entitle him to the
thanks of his countrymen.
It has been proposed in order to facili
tate business, to increase the number of
Zustices. Mr. Strong does not think
this would furnish the relief demanded
by the increasing business of the court.
He thinks it would simply lessen the
labors of the Justices themselves, for
then there would be a greater number
to write opinions in the cases argued.
With twelve Justices,decisions could not
be reached more rapidly than with nine.
In fact, Mr. Strong intimates that the
difficulty of harmonizing the opinions
of twelve Justices would be vastly great
er than in procuring the substantial
agreement of the nine now constituting
the court.
Mr. Strong says that he is earnestly in
favor of the establishment of a court of
appeals in each of the nine circuits into
which the United States are now divided.
This court of appeals would form an in
termediate court between the present
Circuit and the Supreme Court. As to
the composition of the proposed court,
it is suggested that it might be con
stituted either of Supreme Court Judges
assigned for that purpose, sitting
with two or three Circuit or District
Judges, or some District Judges, or Cir
cuit Judges, without a Supreme Court
Judge. To this proposed court appeals
could be taken from the Circuit Courts,
and writs of error also. This proposi
tion meets with the approbation of many
lawyers whose practice lies chiefly in the
Federal Courts, and is worthy of consid
eration by the Federal Legislature.
The establishment of such an inter
mediate court would greatly relieve
the Supreme Court from its present
burdensome calendar, and would furnish
litigants with more speedy justice than
they now obtain. The idea of the ex-
Justice is that the intermediate Appellate
Court should finally dispose of a large
class of cases—in fact all cases not in
volving constitutional points, or a sum
of money exceeding ten thousand dollars.
But, copying from the law of New York,
providing for appeals to the Court of
Appeals, even from the Justices’ Court,
where the Judges of each court succes
sively certify to the court above that the
case involves a legal question or ques
tions of great importance to the public.
Mr. Strong suggests that in cases in
which the proposed appellate court re
gards the points of sufficient importance
to warrant the review of the Supreme
Court, such appeal can be taken on the
certificate of the court below. This
plan would, without doubt, prevent the
calendar of the highest court of the na
tion from being crowded with cases
appealed simply for delay.
Tiik New Version.— The newsboys
of Boston cried out, “The Unitarian Tes
tament!” when they began their sales on
the streets of the new Bible translation,
and upon this Dr. Bellows, of that
church, remarks: “We Unitarians have
never believed in the literal inspiration
of Scripture, and the verbal changes
cannot therefore have such intrinsic im
portance to us as to some others, but
though the changes made may be fa
vorable to our church, we shall build no
partisan arguments on the new texts.”
Forfeited Lands. —The number of
acres of land forfeited to the State in
Georgetown county, South Carolina,
from 1868 to 1877, says the Charleston
News and Courier, is 30,531, containing
two hundred buildings; the amount of
taxes, costs, fees and penalties on the
same, $5,996 17. It is considered a
good opportunity for settlers to procure
cheap homes.
A Frightful Death Rate.—The
mortality in the district of Vera Cruz is
something alarming, statistics for the
last ten years showing a death rate of
90 5-100 per 1,000 per annum: the great
est mortality is, however, amongst chil
dren under five years of age, and the
males showing an increase in the death
rate of nearly 90 per cent, over the
females.
A Bad Temper.
The New York Tribune says: “Among
the many reasons demanding Mr.
Conkling’s defeat is his violent and
vindictive temper, which keeps him at
enmity with more than half of the promi
nent men in the Republican party. Just
look over the list. Mr. Conkling for
years did not speak with Charles
Sumner; he parted with Seward; he
quarrelled and broke relations with
Fessenden; he was on ill terms with
Trumbull; he was a mortal enemy of
Grimes; he held no intercourse with
Schurz; he openly quarrelled with
Elibu Washburne and ceased to
speak to his two brothers;
he broke with Bristow, and violently
abused Attorney General Hoar, and
aided in forcing him out of Grant’s Cabi
net and keeping him off the Supreme
bench. He quarrelled viciously with
Zach Chandler, and for some reason beg
ged to make it up. These are a few of
the notable enmities that are scattered
along Mr. Conkling’s peaceful pathway
in the past. At present he holds no in
tercourse with John Sherman; has open
ly broken with General Hawley; is a
vindictive enemy of George F. Hoar;
quarrelled with General Burnside twice;
will not speak to Ferry, of Michigan;
refused to speak to Senator Windom be
cause he voted to confirm Merritt, and
treated Senator Kirkwood the same way.
Both these gentlemen have since in
creased their offense by going into Gar
field’s Cabinet. We mention the long
standing enmity with Mr. Blaine only to
remark that in the sorrowful shade of
Mr. Conkling’s displeasure the Secretary
ol State has abundant and distinguished
company.
“Does New York desire to send this
truculent, ill-tempered, quarrelsome man
to the Senate to perpetuate his old enmi
ties and cultivate new ones?”
Alas for the good old times that come
no more. Eighty-three years ago the
following death notice was published in
Philadelphia; “At New London, Conn.,
Mr. John Weeks, aged 114. When 106
he married his tenth wife, who was only
sixteen. His gray hairs had fallen off,
and were renewed by a dark head of
hair. Anew set of teeth had made their
appearance; and he ate three pounds of
pork, two or three pounds of bread, and
drank nearly a pint of wine a few hours
before his death.”
The Springfield Republican warns all
men who live by daily work not to
count too much on the present “boom”
of employment lasting, and reminds
them that the great immigration is daily
adding to the number of those ready
and willing to work at cheap rates, who
will depress prices; and make work the
harder to get by multiplying those who
want.
The Generals Grant Abuses.
Gen. Boynton telegrrp v -c: The army
and navy edition of the Washington
Herald prints Its first paper in review of
Badeau s alleged history. The editor,
Capt Burritt, was an officer In Han
cock’s corps, and has devoted much
study to the operations of the Army of
the Potomac. The following js an ex
tract from the Herald article:
Among the Generals for whom Badeau
(or Grant) has only abuse are Hancock,
Thomas, Butler, Burnside, Gilmore,
Granger. Steele, Hunter, Smith, Canby,
Banks, Wright and Warren, and Meade
is dammed with faint praise. Treating
of Grant’s Richmond campaign, Badeau
claims that but for the mistakes of su
bordinates the campaign might have
been decided sulistantially at the Wilder
ness or at Spottsylvania, or at Cold Har
bor, or at the first attack on Petersburg,
or at the “mine” assault on Petersburg.
He says his companions, except Han
cock, were all too slow, while Han
cock had not the moral or intellectual
capacity to command in a crisis, and that
as for Meade, Grant’s orders lost their
force and direct meaning by filtering
through his mediocrity.
While it has been too frequently the
case with writers about the war to mag
nify the Union forces and diminish those
of the enemy, Badeau has studiously and
carefully, and it seems to be disingenu
ously, taken the opposite direction. The
same may be observed in the opposite
way as to the losses on either side. He
seems to have lessened the Union and
increased the rebel losses. There is a
want of logical sequence in all its deduc
tions which, therefore, would seem to
argue his premises untrue. For example:
First. He asserts inferior generalship
of Lee, and at the same time gives him
another army not quite equal to Grant’s.
Also Grant’s superiority in strategy and
tactics, yet he never shows any defeat
of Lee until the final winding up of the
game, which evidently was not due to
Grant's army alone.
Second. Keeping in mind, as above,
that the numbers are assumed to be
nearly equal, and the additional fact, as
stated by Badeau (and which is not true),
that Lee never fought outside of in
trcnchments, and Grant always assault
ed, yet he makes Lee’s losses in killed
and wounded and missing (prior to the
surrender) greater than Grant's. Badeau
speaks of flank movements by Grant in
the face of an enemy nearly equal, on
ground which he says was so different
that, practically, the armies were equal,
of which movements, he says, if Lee had
taken advantage, the national army
ought to have been defeated; and yet
this bad generalship he excuses, or
rather lauds, by explaining that Grant
knew Lee’s character so well that he
was justifiable in presuming that Lee
would let these opportunities slip.
We are confident that a perusal of
Badeau’s life will lower Grant’s place
in history. It is too small and too
querulous. It is, as it were, a defense.
If true, it destroys the idea of Grant as
pounding the enemy with a view to
weakening him by attrition, and sets up
in its place the idea of an unsuccessful
strategist. According to Badeau, Grant
starts cut to reach Richmond, or wher
ever Lee’s army may go, with the ulti
mate idea of the necessity of establish
ing a base on the James, and all the
time to keep Washington covered. He
does not reach the James until after the
repeated bloody repulses of the Wilder
ness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor,
and has to execute dangerous move
ments without compensation to get
there, and yet he leaves Washington so
uncovered that he admits that Early, if
a good General, might have captured it.
As to the Richmond campaign, while
Badeau belittles Grant’s commanders,
there is not a single instance given where
Grant directs any particular movement
in person. His biographer claims for
Grant all the merit that arises from any
success of theirs, and parades it as due
to his foresight, and abuses the com
manders for not making more of
it. But he is never seen at the
front taking command in person of any
movement, and winning effective
results, a post he should have often
assumed with such incompetent com
manders, If we grant, or if he thought
that they were fully incompetent, the
Army of the Potomac, according to
Grant (Badeau), although he does not say
it in words, was not made of the mate
rial to sustain the elan of a prolonged
assault. It could made temporary suc
cesses and nobly stand up and under any
kind of punishment, but for an assault
it was oply good for taking the first line,
not always holding that, but never mak
ing success a finality.
Badeau’s book is not a history. It is
a defense.
Is it Superstition !
Nashville American.
By that sort of superstition which
sometimes obtains with even as clear
headed men of business as the directors
of insurance companies, the property of
newspaper offices, meaning the material
and general equipment, is regarded as
extra hazardous, and the rates of insur
ance are accordingly higher than they
should be. We suppose it grows out of
the fact that the newspaper maker has
to use paper, which is combustible.
The absurdity of this long ac
cepted conclusion is to nobody
so manifest as the printers them
selves. With over a quarter of a cen
tury’s experience, we have been twice
burned out, and in each instance from
fires originating in other buildings a
block or more away. The truth is, there
is no business so little likely to originate
a fire as that of a daily newspaper. The
daily newspaper office is never closed.
Night and day, for three hundred and
sixty-fivedaysof the year, the newspaper
office is never deserted. There is always
somebody awake about the building. At
noon the work of the editors begins and
ceases not until two and three o’clock
the next morning. At sunset the type
setters begin and do not leave off until
three and four o’clock the following
morning. When the type setters knock
off, the pressmen take hold and work on
until sunrise. Before their labors close
the folders, packers, and mailing
clerks come on duty. By this time
the counting room force is on deck, and
every floor of the office building has one
or more, and as a rule, a half dozen oc
cupants all day. It would be impossible
therefore for a newspaper office to take
fire without being observed in time to
prevent a disaster. There is really noth
ing combustible about a printing office
but the paper, and that is never stored
in very large quantity in the build
ing, and always tightly baled and not
easy to take fire. The fire statistics of the
world will show that very few fires
originate from printing offices, while
they will also show that wherever print
ing offices are burned the fire was kin
dled not in the printing house, but some
where else. On the other hand, Buch
buildings are rather convenient for stop
ping fire, as was instanced in the case of
the American office last Tuesday.
The King Mill.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
The organization of the John P. King
Manufacturing Company yesterday was
an event of great importance. It is des
tined to be an enterprise of magnificent
proportions; but, after all, was the
natural outgrowth of the success of
Augusta’s cotton mills. Since the war
their success has been assured, and in
creasing year by year. Sucb progress is
unprecedented, and notwithstanding
the fact that new mills and large exten
sions are even now being burn here,
the King Company will find plenty of
room, abundance of water power on the
canal and ready markets for their goods.
Several of our Augusta factories have
already orders six months ahead of pro
duction for their cotton brands. Id
such prosperous times it is, then, no
wonder that Northern capital should
flow to this section, where thrift and se
curity combine to stimulate local enter
prise and make the prospect inviting.
We confidently expect, too, a full quota
of English aid to this new and mam
moth manufactory.
A New Substitute for Stone.—An
iron company in England is introducing
the use of concrete slag for building pur
poses by the force of example. Its new
offices near Leeds have all the door and
-window facings and the ornamental
work—usually of stone —made of this
hitherto waste material. There is quite
a display of imitation carved bricks,
in various colors, made of the slag, the
cost of which Is said to be fifty per cent,
less than the real article of clay, which
hitherto has been so much in fashion.
The company also supplies the Midland
and Northeastern Railroad companies
with slag concrete flags, ready for use in
the laying down of platforms at railroad
•t&tions.

DR.CUMDROP,
PROFESSOR of Elementary Gastronomy in
the Royal College of Art, and whose re
cent achievement of eating twenty-seven raw
doughnuts in twenty-seven seconds attracted
attention in this country, as well as in Europe,
has been visiting New York for the purpose of
making very careful and minute examination
of the Egyptian obelisk, and the result has
been far from gratifying to the savants whose
translations have been accepted in whole or
partially. Many of the idols of would-be ex
perts are shattered by the learned GUMDROP,
and admirers of ihe antique will certainly be
pleased with the final result. Among other

“NO! NOT THIS EVENING.”
