MONDAY, APRIL!?.
Scoville lectured on Guiteauism at Jer
aey City last Thursday evening. There
were but forty-three persona in the house
including the ushers.
The rumor which announces that Mr.
Lincolu is to be retired from the Cabinet
as Secretary of War, also says that Lo
gan may probably become his successor.
Nearly four thousand Italians arrived
in New York last month, against but
two thousand three hundred for the entire
yeai 1881. If this sort of thing continues
Gotham will probably soon be reviving
the cry, ‘‘The Italians must go.”
The mortality statistics of New Y ork
in 1880 showed the death rate to be
26.48 for every 1,000 people, and in 1881
It had increased to 31.08 per 1,000. In
1880 the death rate of London was only
22.14 per 1,000. The cause of this dif
ference will afford an interesting study
to both scientists and philanthropists.
The Democrats have carried Chicago
by 3,000, Cincinnati by 3,000, Cleveland
by 600, as well as principal cities in In
diana, Minnesota, etc., and the Boston
Herald says “the Republican losses in
the Western local elections are too uni
form and widespread to be wholly ac
counted for on local issues.”
Eagland is pretty well “gridironed”
with railways, yet there are bills before
Parliament at the present time under
which it is proposed to raise about
$226,000,000 for the construction of new
lines, and about $184,000,000 for use by
existing companies, making a total of
$410,000,000 Much of the new capital
sought is on account of the usual re
quirements—extending lines, enlarge
ment of stations, building new ones, etc.
The Woman’s Silk Culture Association,
of Philadelphia, have prepared for Mrs.
Garfield a piece of silk dress goods,
which is entirely of American produc
tion. The silk was grown in the United
States, and the reeling and all subse
quent processes of manufacture were
done m this country. The present will
soon be made, and the silk is said to be
of the very finest quality, equal to any
made in the world. Silk culture may
yet become one of the most prominent
and profitable industries of the Union.
Planting is going on along the Missis
sippi river on lands lately covered with
water, but a gentleman who has just te
turned from the flooded districts reports
to the Philadelphia Record that the out
look is anything but encouraging. He
thinks that not more than one-third of
the cotton lands in Arkansas will be cul
tivated this year. The outlook for corn
is nearly as bad, and he says it is im
possible to form a correct estimate of
the losses, present poverty and suffering
of the people without a personal exami
nation. ~
Some of our exchanges are taking very
especial pains to criticise harshly the
action of Governor Crittenden, of Mis
souri, for authorizing the killing of
Jesse James, and write as if that official
had deliberately sanctioned and encour
aged a cold blooded murder. This is
•wrong. James was the avowed enemy
of his race, and lived upon his fellow
men, regarding their lives and property
as his legitimate prey. Governor Crit
tenden is no more to be censured for try
ing to have him removed from earth
than had he ordered the destruction of
some venomous reptile.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin is
terribly indignant at the “outrage” re
cently perpetrated on the colored Bishop
Paine by a rail way conductor in Florida.
It hopes the road may be “made to pay
such damages as will make it to
its interest hereafter to be less in
quisitive or sensitive as to the ex
act shade of its passengers’ skins.”
When, however, our Philadelphia
contemporary learns the true state of
the case, and finds out that Bishop Paine
proposed of his own volition to leave the
train rather than ride with his colored
brethren in the cars which his half-rate
ticket called for, it will perhaps feel that
its virtuous indignation has been mis
placed.
It is stated that the temperance vote
in Kentucky is to be an element worth
considering in estimating the result at
the August election. There are organi
zations in nearly every town in the
State. The Democratic candidate for
the clerkship of the Court of Appeals,
the office to be filled at the
coming election, is not satisfac
tory to the temperance men, who claim
an ability to cast several thousand votes.
Colonel Jacob, the Union-Democratic
candidate, for whom the Republicans
are to vote, is said to be quite certain of
the support of the temperance people.
The Democrats are considering the ad
visability of withdrawing their nominee,
it is reported, owing to the opposition of
temperance members of their party.
A Washington special states that the
National Land League Convention, late
ly in session in that city, attracted very
much attention. There is a general im
pression that this assemblage will in fu
ture time be considered one of the most
important in the interest of the Irish
race that has ever assembled since the
closing of the Parliament of Ireland at
the opening of the present century. It
is a body of representative men of
the Irish race on this side of the Atlantic
who have the entire confidence of the
Irish Land League leaders on the other
side of the ocean. The meeting, attend
ed as it was by a large number of priests
of the Catholic Church who do not svm
pathize with the utterances of the late
Cincinnati Provincial Council upon civil
matters, is also not without a weighty
bearing upon the attitude of a portion of
the clergy.
A Washington special to the St. Loais
Republican states that the House Post
Office Committee appears to be puzzled
over the pending proposition to reduce
letter postage. The committee is con
sidering the numerous bills which have
been introduced providing for a reduc
tion from three to two cents for each
half ounce. Seme of the members of
the committee are inclined to think that
the masses of the people would prefer to
improve the mail service and extend mail
facilities rather than to have cheaper
postage. Others believe that it would
be better to fix the rate of letter postage
at three cents per ounce than to reduce
to two cents per half ounce. The fact
that the revenues of the Post Office De
partment at present are exceeding the
expenditures is being used effectively by
the advocates of cheaper postage; but as
yet there is no means of ascertaining the
prevalent opinion on the subject among
Congressmen, and many members have
not considered the question sufficiently
to arrive at any conclusion as to how
they would vote should the matter be
brought before the House.
Our River and Harbor.
The subject of the necessity for a suf
ficient appropriation for the improve
ment of our river and harbor is being
presented to Congress with so much zeal
and ability that it will be almost impossi
ble for that body not to give it favorable
consideration. Not only are our special
committee of citizens doing their utmost
in this matter, but every member of the
Georgia Congressional delegation is, in re
sponse to the desires of his constituents,
taking an active interest therein,and these
efforts, we read, are being ably seconded
by General Gtllmore, the competent and
experienced engineer in charge of the
work.
There is no subject connected with
the problem of inter State commerce
which at present is more worthy of
Congressional consideration than this.
We have frequently called attention to
the commercial importance of this port,
and to the fact that Savannah is now the
first Cotton and lumber port, the second
rice port, and is rapidly comiDg to the
front as the first naval stores port of the
South Atlantic. And further evidence that
she is still maintaining her position in the
commercial world is presented from the
fact that, since the Ist of January last to
date, there have sailed from our wharves
260 vessels carrying full cargoes, against
240 during the corresponding period last
year.
This, however, is not by any means
the principal claim which Savannah can
present as a port of national importance.
Senator Brown, in his recent speech on
the subject of our harbor improvement,
it will be remembered, alluded to the
railway systems of which this city
is the centre, as affording, in connec
tion with our ocean steamship lines, the
most desirable route between the Western
and the Eastern cities. This route is,
when the difference between land and
water transportation is considered —and
in computing distance by water four
miles are, we believe, allowed
for every one by land —as short as
any between the great cities of
the West and North, and is besides,
during the winter season especially,
when the Northern canals and water
courses are blocked up with ice, the
most available. As practicable evidence,
too, of the fact that this is
becoming the favorite shipping point
for New York and other commer
cial centres of the Northeast, we
were informed a few days since by Gen.
G. M Sorrel, agent at Savannah of the
Ocean Steamship Company, that, not
withstanding the short crop, and conse
quently reduced receipts of cotton at
this port this season, 15,000 more bales
had been shipped over his line up to
date than during the same period last
year, and that throughout the season the
ships of his line, both leaving
for and returning from the North, had,
without exception, done a fine business
both in passengers and freights. As fur
ther evidence still of the growing popu
larity and imp stance of this line, we
learn that the new and enlarged steamers
now in process of construction are
already needed to take the places of the
smaller ones at present employed, and
that they will, from the first, be run to
their full capacity. YVe also learn that
the lines running from this port to
Baltimore and Philadelphia are doing,
and have, during the entire season, been
doing, a prosperous business, which is
steadily and rapidly increasing each
year.
These are facts which can be substan
tiated by official figures, and they speak
volumes for the commercial importance
of our port. The improvement of our
river and harbor then is a subject in
which not the State of Georgia, or even
the section of country immediately tri
butary to Savannah are alone interested,
bu’ it is of great importance to the
business of the whole country. This
is the view which Congress should
take of this matter. We trust the Fed
eral Legislature may give this subject
the consideration to which it is entitled,
and that we may soon be able to an
nounce that an appropriation of at least
s3oo,ooo—the sum recommended by
Gen. Gillmore for this work this year—
has been decided upon, and will be re
ported to Congress by the Commerce
Committee of the House.
The so-called friends of American
home industry are never weary of telling
us that the existing high tariff is abso
lutely necessary if only to keep the
American workingmen above the level of
European pauper labor. If this be so,
then the New York Commercial Bulletin
thinks the American workingman must
be a singularly obtuse person not to see
it; for instead of striking for higher
wages from Maine to California, his prin
cipal avocation, at present, he should be
content with things as they are. The
truth is, however, says that paper, the
laboring man is not so big a fool as some
people suppose. He not only does not
see it, but he is beginning to ask, how
does a protective tariff benefit him, if it
raise wages 5 per cent, and rents,
etc., 10 per cent? Everything has
“ protection ” except the only thing he
has to sell in the market —his labor ; and
with that he has to compete at Ca tie
Garden with the whole world. Conse
quently the tariff is nothing if not a one
sided affair, and a tax on the many for
the benefit of the few. We judge by
the spirit of the speeches and addresses
that are making at the “strike for higher
wages’’ meetings here, night after night,
that the laborer and artisan are begin
ning to get these ideas pretty equally
into their heads, and the more they be
come familiar with them the more diffi
cult will it be to cheat them into the
belief that high tariff, that is high taxes,
are a benefit and not a burthen to labor
and industry. The world, after all, is
moving a little.
Discussing the labor troubles now pre
vailing so generally in the North, and
the condition of affairs generally, the
Boston Advertiser thinks that while the
situation is by no means desperate,
it is critical, and it thinks that in critical
timos far more than in prosperous
seasons it is of the first importance that
there be frank and hearty co operation
instead of mutual suspicion and general
incrimination. It says: “The strikers
feel discouraged under the increased cost
of living, and ask for higher wages; but
they are wholly mistaken in the belief
that the other classes are prosperous.
In fact, the situation of the hour shows
once more that in this country no
great loss can occur without affecting
all interested. It is not labor alone that
suffers, but nearly everybody, the reason
beiog that in this country there is but
one class, and that all its members are
hard laborers. Would It not be absurd
if the grocers of Lawrence blamed the
Pacific operatives for buying less than
they did six months ago? And is it not
wanton to find fault with a man, be he
merchant, manufacturer, planter or far
mer, because his earnings have been
less while his toil and his cares grow
more? If men want to strike for highe r
wages, they will do well to count the
cost in advance, and to assume the full
responsibility should they fail, as at
present they surely will.”
Dividing the Profits.
Our wide awake St. Louis contempo
rary has been once more overhauling the
iron and steel statistics of the United
States, and has unearthed some very in
teresting data regarding the enormous
profits realized, and the great dispropor
tion of wages paid by the manufacturers
of that very protected industry. It
seems from the report on iron and steel
production in this country in 1880. that
the number of hands employed in the
Bessemer and open hearth steel works
was 10,835; the total wages paid during
the year amounted to $4,930,340; the
amount of capital invested was $20,975,-
999: the total cost of materials used was
$36,826,928; and the total value of the
product was $55,805,210. Deducting
the wages and cost of materials from the
value of the product, there is left $14,-
047,933, which represents the profits on
the'year’s business. This is nearly 67
per cent, on the capital invested, and
shows that steel making is a very profita
ble business in the United States. It will
be seen, further, that the total wages
($4,930,349) were not quite 9 per cent,
on the value of the total product ($55,-
805,210). In other words, the capitalists
engaged in this protected and most pros
perous industry allowed their workmen
only 9 per cent, on the value of the pro
duct, while they took 67 per cent, on it
for themselves —a significant commenta
ry on the pretence that the design and ef
fect of protective duties is to secure
good wages to American workingmen.
But the disproportion between profits
and wages is not confined to iron and
steel alone ; the manufacturers of other
protected industries are equally illiberal.
It is shown that, taking the iron and
steel industries together, there was paid
to labor 18.7 pier cent, on the product,
while capital received 21.5 per cent,
upon the amount invested. The annual
wages paid to employes was $397 each,
beiDg a weekly average of $7 57, or
$1 26 a day. In the woolen industry
the average annual compensation paid
to workingmen was $293, or $5 65 a
week, being 93 cents a day. In this de
partment of manufacture labor received
only 17 7 per cent, on the product, while
capital received over 85 per cent. In the
cotton industry the average annual
wages paid to labor was only $242, or 78
cents a day. And so on, all through the
list of protected industries, the work
ingman gets for his share a very moder
ate allowance for a living, while the
lion’s share goes into the pockets of the
manufacturing capitalist. No wonder
the monopolists are so anxious to protect
the American laborer against the pauper
labor of Europe.

Speaking of the Colorado Senatorships,
the Denver Inter-(Ocean of the Bth Inst, says:
“It is clear that for the long term, which
will be filled by the Legislature next winter,
Governor Pitkin Is himself the favorite. The
south Is a unit for him, and he has a strong
following In the north. But he will, unfor
tunately, be compelled to oppose the ‘bo
nanza kings.’ The contest of Colorado’s
wealthy men mav prove an Interesting bat
tle of giants, bat it will be unfortunate for
the State if money alone be taken as the
standard of merit.”
The Inhabitants of the Solomon Islands
have a carious system of decimal currency.
A cocoanut seems to be the unit. But the
circulating medium consists of strings of
white and red shell beads, doge’ teeth
and porpoises’ teeth. One string of
white money Is equivalent to ten cocoanuts
or one flat stick of tobacco. Ten strings of
white money make one s'ring of red money
or one dog’s tooth: ten dogs’ teeth make
one “isa” or fifty porpoises’ teeth; aDd ten
Isas are equivalent to one “good quality
wife;” so that a wife In good society is
worth ten thousand cocoanuts.
The Massachusetts Boclety for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals Is endeavor
ing to break up the practice of bleeding
calves before they are killed, a practice
which is extensively resorted to in New
England for the purpose of securing Jtbe
extra pricr which is paid for veal thus un
naturally whitened. It is charged that
calves are often bled two or three times be
fore they are killed. The outrageous cruelty
of such treatment is apparent, but in addi
tion to that the flesh so treated is known to
be positively unwholesome, and the society
begs the co-operation of the public in pre
venting its sale.
Some further results of the census of the
18th of December last in France are now
known. The total population of France pres
ent on that day was 37,321,000, against 39,-
905,000 in 1876, an increase of 416,000. The
increase is almost entirely confined to the
larger towns. The forty-six towns of 30,-
OCJ inhabitants and upward show a total
increase of population of 488,000. Only
eight of them reveal a diminution, and only
four of these eight reveal a diminution of
any moment. These are at St. Etienne,
which has lost. 5,890 inhabitants; Brest,
which has lost 2 200; Cherbourg, which has
los' 1,800; and Versailles, which has lost
1.500. On the other hand, Paris has gained
237,000, Marseilles 38,000. Lyons 30,000. Nice
25,000, Lille 15,000, Reims 12,000, and Havre
10,000.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican believes
that the burning of Walker Hall at Amherst
College was causfd by spontaneous com
bustion, the floors having been oiled on the
dy before. It also says that some years
neo Contractor Johnson, who built the
Northampton First Church and many other
similar edifices in the Connecticut Valley,
“had an impression” one evening that some
thing was not right about a church he was
finishing, the pews of which the workmen
had been oiling on that day; so he went to
the building and unlocked it, to find that
flames were ju‘t breaking out near the en
trance of the audience room. When one of
the men left work at, six o’clock he laid the
piece of cotton waste which he had been
using on the rail of the lat pew, and the re
sult was spontaneous combustion in three
or four hours.
A singular incident lately occurred in a
London witness box during the hearing of a
case in which a Parsee gentleman was called
upon to give evidence. He objected to be
6worn either on the Old or New Testament,
and not being a Mahometan, he could not be
sworn on the Koran; but he produced from
his b'easf a “sscred relic,” and said that by
making a declaration and bolding the
“charm” in his hand, and not concealing it,
the act would be binding on his conscience.
The commissioner thought that under the pe
culiar circutns'ances he would be justified in
taking the witness’ declaration, if at the
same time he held the “charm” unconcealed
In h's hand, and declared that he would
consider the set sufficiently binding upon
him to bear true testimony in the matter at
Issue. It is said to be usual to swear Par
sees holding the tall of a cow, which in
India is rrgarded as a sacred animal.
Bome one has brought to light an
amuslDg letter which Adam, the French
composer, once wrote to a man who had
sent him the libretto of a proposed opera
called “Eve,” for which he hoped M. Adam
would feel called upon to write the music.
The composer read the text, and on finding
it devoid of both literary and dramatic
mrlt, returned it with the following note:
“Vbkt Much Honored Sir: To my lively
regret I find it quite impossible to avail my
self of the accompanying libretto, with an
offer of which your great goodness has
prompted you to favor me. For, believe
me, should Adam allow himself to he
trmptt and by this particular Eve, the public
would most assuredly undertake, wl b sur
prising spontaneity, the part of the Serpent
—at least as far as hissing is concerned.
D:sastrous precedent warns us against a
revival of so sinister a combination; where
fore I hasten to return your remarkable
production, with every assurance of my
perfect consideration — Adam.”
It Is not often that a man’s will Is read in
public during his lifetime, but this was
done the other day at Cincinnati in the suit
for an order for the sale of Archbishop Pu r
cell’s real estate. The Archbishc p made his
will on May 4,1853, nearly twenty years af
ter he tucceeded Archbishop Fenwick. The
document provides for the payment of the
Archbishop’s just debts, “contracted as
they have been for the benefit of religion,”
and for thefollowln. legacies: “Threesuits
of vestments, ICO volumes of my books and
SI,OOO to my brother, and as many to my
mother, or, In case of her death, to mv sis
ter Catherine, for my brother never drew
his salarv, but left it all for the church,
most faithfully and disinterestedly, a’ways
living simply and economically.” A'l other
p r op*-ity held by the Archbishop in fee
simple or as trustee for the church, the will
leaves to his successor, who is earnestly re
quested to care for his housekeeper, Mrs.
Ann Marr, who for twenty years had been
“faithfully laborious and strictly conscien
tious in the discharge of her duties.”

She Was Delighted.
“Now this is grand! Why, just
look at the Pianos. Fifty of them,
at least, and so many kinds and
prices. Bnrely I can be suited here.
Why, at other places they only have
five or six to show me, and those
from only one maker.” 80 said a
lady who visited our warerooms one
day last week and purchased a mag
nificent Upright. She was enthusi
astic over our instruments, our
prices and our terms, and 6he had
reason to be so, for nowhere in the
South can such a 6tock be found.
SIX GRAND MAKERS.
Are represented in our warerooms.
Chickering, Mathushek, Krautch &
Bach, J. P. Hale, Mason & Hamlin
and Shoninger—a glorious list. It
is a fact that no other house in the
United States can offer such a selec
tion of first clas6 instruments.
Every instrument that we sell bears
Its maker’s name, and is sold under
a written six years guarantee. We
test every instrument when received
and if it does not come up to our
standard, back to factory it goes.
Our pa'rons are givng the best that
our experience and judgment can
secure. Our invariable and only
policy is to furnish the very best
instruments for the price, rather
than to get the best price possible
for the Instrument, as is the usual
custom of dealers. Best instru
ments, lowest prices, and easiest
terms is our claim, and we make it
good. Call and see, or send for
catalogues and circulars.
