The New York ZferoW speaks ot •‘Robeson and his little Keifer. ’ That is what may be truly called “cutting sar kastn.” Northern oil speculator* think that in view cj the rich strikes in Pennsylvanit during the past few weeks, Shake speare's question: “Can we have to< much of & good thing?" is being answered very emphatically in the affirmative. Mr. Biiiy Mahone is probably scruti nizing the returns from Oregon with considerable solicitude. A Republicat successor to Mr. Grover would rendei the repudia’or useless to his purchaser*, and they would, doubtless, be only tco g.ad to turn him adrift. The great political battle cry of Penn sylvania this year is “Down with th* tresses,” and this sentiment is evidently miking headway in all the States, irre spective of party. “Bossism” as a fac U n of politics is fast becoming unpopu lar everywhere. In fact, it may be truth, fuliy asser ed that this is a bad year for bosses generally. The “Independents” of Texas have been caught in pretty much the sam* t j.ls as their brethren in Georgia. They proposed to Mahoneize the State with ex Governor Throckmorton, but that g ntleman, being a staunch Democrat, wili probably be the nominee of tbt regular Democracy, and iike Mr. Ste p’aen-, will refuse to allow himself to b ured as a tool to defeat his party. Thu is tvideo' y as bad a year for Independ ents as it is for bosse=. Jane 3. puousnes an in teresting report in reference to the grow ing cotton crop, covering replies from correspondents in 56G counties in the Southern States. A summary of the re frt show? that the total acreage for 1832 is 15 214 .196. against 1fi.184,504 for 1381 showing a reduction of acreage of 6 per cent, resulting from the floods in the M;--.ssippi valley. The prospect of the crop is rated "below fair" in consequence of the continued cold and wet weather. The imports of merchandise into the port of New York during the past week, alth ugh somewhat less than for the pre vious week, were yet comparatively heavy, the total being $10,143,9*59, of which $.*5,202,274 was general merchan dise and the remainder dry goods. The receipts of dry goods were fair, while general merchandise continues to come in rather freely. Since January 1 the total is $218,433,329, compared with $181,710,058 for the corresponding period of 1831. Mr. Curtin’s plan for regulating ap pointmects in the civil service in the same manner as cadetships to West Point and Annapolis will, probably, if s vote is reached on it, meet with the cor dial support of his brother Democrats. It will, however, most probably figure m the far future among the curiosities of our archives. The gag law majority in the House will hardly consent to any reform in the civil service at present. It is too powerful a factor in determining elections. Mrs. Dun mire, Guiteau’s divorced wife, affords a commendable example of woman's devotion. Though the wretch treated her so badly that she was forced to abandon him. she has written a letter to Mr. Heed, his counsel, asking him if any rffort she can make will induce President Arthur to commute the assas sin'' sentence, and that if she can do aught she is ready to act. She declares that she is not in favor of seeing him hung, statements to the contrary not withstanding. Toe Wilmington tN. C.)

It says that he was once Deputy Surveyor at Ne bra*k.a City, Neb., where he stole a lot of dry goods from the store of Hall Ba ker, and tried to murder a clerk for de manding payment. Subsequently, under threat of suit, he paid for the goods, and left Nebraska City, leaving many debts. He is there regarded as a scoun drel of the deepest dye. He went to S uth Carolina in 1860, and, after the war, identified himself with the carpet bag brigade, and went in for stealings. He has now stolen a seat in Congress, and. as the Republican majority love sharp thieves, they did all they could to help him.

H. 0. Turner on the Tariff Commission W s have had upon our table for some weeks the excellent speech, delivered on the 13th of April last, of Hon. Henry G. Turner. Representative in Congress from the Second district of Georgia, in opposition to the Tariff Commission bill. This speech we have read with consider able pleasure, and have intended, ever ■since its reception, to notice particularly, inasmuch as it contains many views and suggestions of interest and instruction, not only to Mr. Turner's immediate con stituent?, but to the people of the entire State of whose Congressional delegation he is a worthy member. Mr. Turner takes the ground from the first that the Tariff Commission bill is a plain concession on the part of the pro tectionists of a necessity for tariff revi sion, and that it is a measure conceived and supported by the enemies of such revision for the soie purpose of staving off legislation on the subject as long as po?„ sible. For this reason he, together with other opponents of the measure, de nounces it, and asserts that the evils of our present tariff system should be iw mediately corrected by the sole tribunal which, under the United States Constitu tion, has a right to correct them, viz.: the Congress of the United States. He admits that under the present necessit'es of the government absolute free trade is impracticable. A public debt of $2,000,- 000,000 and a pension roll demanding the expenditure of $100,000,000 annually forbid the indulgences of any hope of immediate unrestricted freedom of trade. Still he takes tbe ground that the enor mities of the present tariff system are fla grantly atrocious, and should be cor rected. It is a system of taxation, says he truthfully, under which duties are laid upon several thousand articles of imported goods,including the commonest necessaries of life; it is a tax levied upon all articles of general consumption at an average rate of 42} per cent. Last year there were imported into the country $463,000,000 of dutiable commodities, upon which the tariff imposed a tax of $198,000,000. And who pays this tax ? “It requires,” says Mr. Turner, “no argument, no illustration,to show that this immense taxation falls, at last, upon those who consume the imported goods.” Thi3 is the direct result of the tariff, and it is thus seen that its burdens rest upon the unprotected consuming masses, while tne protected manufacturer eDjoys the great privilege of augmenting the price of his good3, without being subjected to this tax. In this way it is that the con sumer is forced to pay tribute to the manufacturer for his personal advantage, instead of to the government, for whose benefit tbe tax is theoretically laid. Mr. Turner then dwells briefly upon the fact that though the present onerous tariff was framed during a state of war and for war purposes, it is now, in time of profound peace, more onerous than when war raged through ou' the country, after which he proceeds to show succinctly the aggregate burdens borne by the masses because of the pro tective system, and borne, as we have seen, not for the benefit of the govern ment, but for the sole benefit of the manufacturers. Says he: “Assuming that there is an annual consumption of four thousand millions of domestic or American commodities, a very high authority has recently esti mated that one fourth of that sum, or $1,000,000,000, represents the added or increased value due to the American tariff. Another authority, equally re spectable. assuming that five times as much of American goods are con sumed as of imported goods, reaches the same result, the two hun dred millions of revenue derived from the tariff multiplied by that figure pro ducing exactly the same result. With out intending in any wise to cast discredit npon the accuracy of these estimates, but in order to be entirely fair, let us throw off two thirds of the sum and make our calculations upon that bais. It results that the protected classes make for themselves by the operation of the tariff nearly 50 per cent, more than the government itself does.” Truly, under such figures as these Mr. Turner may well‘conclude a3 he does— that our tariff is not a tariff for revenue with incidental protection, but, to the contrary, simply a tariff for protection, with revenue merely as an incident. In other words, that when consumers are wealthy enough to import such protected articles as they may desire, and prefer to do so to purchasing inferior goods at home, then the government derives some benefit; but wnen the ordinary con sumer, who cannot afford to import his articles from abroad, is forced to make purchase?, he must be content to be satisfied with whatever quality of goods the protected manufacturer sees fit to let him have, at extortionate prices, which only go to swell the coffers of the privileged protected “wards of the na tion.” Well does Mr. Turner express this idea when he says: “In order to exclude cheap European goods from our markets and command uigh prices for American products we pay annually to our protected classes over $300,000 000 and to the government less than $200,000,000. By the opera tion of the tariff you give annually to the beneficiaries of the tariff six times as much as you paid last year to the widows and orphans and maimed victims of the war. It is a civil list unprecedented in the annals of mankind. You give to the heroes who fought for the Union and escaped its casualties, your thanks and nothing more. To the grim veterans of the tariff you give more than all govern ment, Federal, State, county and.munici pal throughout this country costs the people! This aggregate bounty is greater than the vast and elaborate fabric of our liberties itself cost us last year. If this sum had been collected by the govern ment, it would have extinguished our public debt long ago.” The able Representative from the Sec ond Georgia district then goes on to show that, notwithstanding the wealth brought into the country from our surplus cotton and wheat—amounting last year to $450,000,000, and both the products of the non protected agricultural classes, who have to compete with the world in selling their productions, but arc re stricted to the protected “home market” when forced to buy—the incidental reve nue received by the government from the protective tariff would be wholly inadequate to meet nei essary expendi tures, and so, after all, the people must be again taxed by internal taxation to make up the deficiency. Bays he on this point: ‘ 'Gentlemen say that the country has prospered notwithstanding tbe tariff. I deny the statement so far as my consti tuents are concerned. The protected classes have undoubtedly prospered. But admitting for the sake of tbe argument that tbe other classes have prospered also, would it not be fair to inquire how much more they would have prospered if these enormous burdens had been alleviated? We are told that the tariff protects American labor. The preten sion is an ingenious effort to enlist the victims of the tariff in its support. It has been exposed and exploded many times hitherto in this debate. But even if it were true that tbe tariff fosters American labor, it coqld not be claimed that its beneficence ex tends beyond the proUt ted classes. You may make employment and wages for tailors, batters and shoemakers, but in order to do it you make all other laborers and other poopie pay more for their clothes, hats ana shoes. In order to help one poor man you tax a hundred more, and the profits go into the pockets of the manufacturer,” In this way, Mr. Turner continued to show up the fallacies of the arguments so commonly cited by the proteetionlsts in defense of their favorite doctrine, and to prove that protection was simply nothing more nor less than levying a heavy and burdensome tax upon the thousands of consumers for the sole and absolute benefit of the hundreds of manufacturers. We regret that space prevents us from doing justice to his speech, for it is not only one of the best which has been delivered Id Congress during the session in opposition to protection, and in favor of immediate tariff revision by Congress, and by Con gress alone; but it is encouraging to see from it that the Georgia delegation in the Federal Legislature is fully conversant with the main great question now before the people, and is awake to the true in crests of the State. The extracts we have above given, however, are sufficient to show clearly the drift of Mr. Turner's remarks, and we can, at this time, add no more thereto than by quoting the con cluding paragraph of his speech, as fol lows: “The wonderful multiplication of in ventions has been so rapid m this country, that we may well pause and contempiate the future of labor and capi tal in this country. The tide of immi gration which now reaches our Eastern shores, and swelled by the young men of New England who fait to find profitable employment under the shadow of the tariff, spreads over the rich plains of the West, and from the wilderness rise great and prosperous States, like sudden appa ritions. But when the area of cultivable land is covered with our expand ing population and cheap homes for immigrants are no longer attainable, then our dependent classes will multiply and our laborers will have to compete with tbe machines with which an undue development of mechanical genius has superseded American labor. Then we will require free access to all the world for the sale of our surplus products. It would be a wise statesmanship which shall anticipate that era not now far dis tant, and begin at once the preparation tor a free commercial intercourse with all the world. [Applause.]” When the Republicans carry their fac’ tional bitterness and resentments to the graves of the Union’s fallen heroes on Decoration day, it must be admitted that the fight between stalwarts and half breeds has become a war to the knife and knife to the hilt conflict. We see from the Rochester (N, .Y.) Union that the two wings of Republicanism met over the graves of the Federal dead at Kokomo, on Wild Cat creek, Indiana, on Tuesday last, and in the person of General Milo S. Haskell fought their bat tles like catamounts, as will be seen from the following extract from Haskell’s speech: “I do uot mean to say that these bosses and machine politicians are directly to blame for the a-sassination of President Garfield, but I do say that tne spoils system in politics, and the outrageous con uct of Oonkling and his sympa thizers; led on as naturally and developed the man as certainly for the work as ever any certain cause produced a certain effect. I say, further, that there is not a machine politician or third termer in the land, from Cockling and Cameron and other would-be bosses down to the lowest tide waiter in the machine service, but what, notwithstanding his crocodile tears, rejoices in his secret heart that tbe man made President by the assassin Gui teau, instead of the one made so by the great American people, now sits in the Executive chair. But, as our great and martyred President said o i the occasion of the assassination of his lamented pre decessor, ‘God reigns and the govern ment still lives. ’ Suffer it to be eo for a season. Let tbe spoilsmen take their ill-gotten gains. Let the hyenas dig at the grave of the great and lamented Gar field. We will emulate his virtues, and, as opportunity offers, again thrust the spoilsmen from their places. To the great, and glorious, and lamented Presi dent we say—Hail and Farewell 1 ” Hon. James G. Blaine, the plumed knight of Maine, has written a letter to a large number of prominent Republicans of his State who had written him re questing that he run for Congressman for the Statc-at large, declining to do so. Long neglected private and personal affairs which demand attention is the reason given by him for his inability to accede to the request. In his letter of declination, however, the knight de clares that he will devote his whole available time and energies towards securing a Republican Legislature to elect a successor to United States Senator Frye, and thus preserve the Maine Re publican delegation in the United States Senate, which has been unbroken for twenty eight years. Yet this is the man that some Southern Democrats have been talking about as a good man to bring out as the Democratic candidate for Presi dent in iBB4. The Republicans carried the recent municipal election in WilmingtOD, Dela ware, but their triumph is due to the most atrocious frauds eyer perpetrated. According to the Baltimore Dai/, it is an unquestionable fact that there was a steady stream of negroes from the lower counties of Delaware and the eastern shore of Maryland flowing into the city for weeks before the election, while the election machinery was unscrupulously manipulated by a notorious fellow named Gallagher, who was the former “boss” of tbe old city ring.and into whose hands everythii g was willingly surrendered by the highly respectable Republicans, who had once united with the Democrats to drive him from the position of head of the water department of the city, out of which he went under the cloud of a con siderable defalcation.” Editor Burke, of the New Orleans Time* Democrat, and Editor Parker, of the New Orleans Picayune, have been at loggerheads for a long time, and yester day they determined to fight it out ac cording to the code. Five rounds were fought, resulting, at length, in Editor Burke receiving a flesh wound in both legs and the courage of both combatants being fully vindicated. The wounded editor returned to his bed to be healed, while the fortunate editor returned to his sanctum, evidently well satisfied with the result of the engagement. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes that paper regarding the status of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as follows; “The continued raiding of Louisville cud Nashville is based on the report that the company will discontinue dividends, This, to say the least, is rather prema ture, as the dividends are not due until August, and the directors hold no meet ing until July. The officials of the road state tnat the subject has not been con sidered even, and that the road is earning 3i per cent above expenses, This is given, however, for what it is worth.” The soreheads—negroes and Radicals —constituting the so-Btyled “Liberals" of the old North State, are at outs already over the spoils. Their conven tion at Rileieh is wrestling with the problem as to whether a straightout Radical or a galvanised Democratic Re publican should be placed on the ticket for Congressman-at-large. It is unfortu nate for its success that tfie coalition should thus early show its hand. Beauty Hegalued.

A few days since Mr. C. M. Quarter man, acting Postmaster at Daiien, re ceived one of tbe circulars recently issued by the Republican Congressional Com mittee at Washington, and signed by D. B. Henderson, Secretary, requesting Federal officeholders in each Con gressional district in the Union and all other citizens “whose principles or in terests” are involved in the approaching Congressional struggle, to contribute at least $22 to the Republican campaign fund. This model circular in effect ad mits that the Republican party is ii sore straits, and intimates that under the cir cumstances all such interested individuals will deem it “both a privilege and a pleasure” to make the aforesaid cam paign fund a contribution. It seems, however, that Mr.. Quarterman wholly fails to appreciate his high privileges, and is utterly regardless of his pleasure in the premises, for in the Darien Timber Gazette of the 2d inst. we find the following tart and emphatic refusal from him to comply with the supplicating petition of Secretary Henderson: Darien Post Office Georgia., ) Mav 31st, 1882. i D. B. Henderson, Esq., Secretary Na tional Republican Congressional Com mittee, IF ishingion: Sir —Your communication addressed in behalf of the Republican organization for the protection of the interests of the Republican party, and requesting the remittance of $22 as my assessment to ward the fund to be employed for ren dering impossible the restoration of the Democratic party to the control of the government, has been received, and in reply I would state that although I have for some time past been filling the post office, acting for the bondsmen of the deceased Postmaster, and reasonably supposed by foreigners to be acting in true fidelity to the first above named famous organization, yet, with pride and transcendent glory, permit me to inform your organization that I am one exception to the rule, as my record shows beyond all controversy that I am part and parcel of that noble band known as Democrats, whose colors shine with lustre and beauty all over this broad land, and of whose future glorious things are spoken, and will lie realized, without this tax upon its officeholders. Trusting this brief exp anation will suffice, I close with the statement that wherever the rights and privileges of this great country are usurped by a Republi can administration, official robbery and degradation are the inevitable results; but where Democracy smiles and sheds her silvery rays, peace, harmony, pros perity, civilization and all coveted bless ings are enjoyed. Very respec’fully, C. M. Quarterman. P. S. —No, Henderson, l will not con tribute a red cent to the bribery fund. lam not that kind of a Democrat.

Low wages and high taxation are at the bottom of it. Iq some parts of the country farms are deserted, flsneries abandoned, and towns almost depopulated. People of all classas, it is said, are obliged to leave their, places to earn a living. The stampede is unprecedented. The vital statistics of New York city for the past year show that there were 106 deaths, 72 births and 60 persons married every day. Infantile mortality wa* enor mous—fifty tinder live years of age per day. There was & death of consumption every one-and-a-half hours, and of pneu monia every two hours. The number of deaths during the last twelve months nearly equals the combined population of Coving - ton and Newport. A British Judge has come down heavily on ladles’ high-heeled boots.

That settled the Siestion of damages In the Judge’s miud. e charged the jury against finding dam ages, stating that ladies who wore high heels did so at their peril, personally and legally. The lady's fall was her own fault, and tbe jury so found, and did not give her a penny. The steam railroads of Pennsylvania killed 661 persons and Injured 1,646 last year, Including employes, passengers and others who got in the way. This Is an in crease as compared with 1880 of 123 killed and 224 Injured. There was no accident during the year involving an unusual nura her of deaths and Injuries, and the bad record therefore seems to be due to a gen eral Increase of carelessness on the part of the company’s servants and the public. Of course, it Is Impossible to say in just what proportions the blame ought to be distri buted, but the official statistics just sent to the Secretary of Internal Affairs are, to eay the least, discouraging. General D.

He says that he has “no sympathy with the faction of malcontents who are seeking by means of strife within the party to destroy the organization,” but believes that the State Convention, when j; ad journed, had finbbed the work It was elected to do, and that if tbe people were now given an opportunity to select a man to fill the vacancy through anew convention it would go a great way in the direction of saving tbe party from defeat and possible di-solution.

Four of the fayorlte military marches of the preseut day are said to be of royal origin, Anew submarine torpedo boat has been Invented in Russia which Is considered so successful that the government has ordered fifty of them. They are about fifteen feet In length and only weigh 166 pounds, so that several of them can be taken upon a man of war. The construction is such that its normal position is just below the water, the upper portion of its glass dome just emerging, so that tbe men in It can see which Way to steer. It is propelled by tbe feet of four men moving a screw. The ele vation or depression of the boat is caused by weight* made to slide up r n longitudinal hor'zmtal guide rails. As soon as tbe boat reaches the desired depth, the weight is moved to the centre, and it takes a hori zontal position. In order to rise, the weight Is moved to the stern, and then an up ward direction is given to it. Each host has two torpedoes attached to it by levers. As soon as the boat passes under a sblp these are detached, mount upwards, and by means of a cutta percha appliance attach themselves to the hull. The boat then mov< s off to a safe distance, paying out the elec tric wires by which the torpedoes are ex ploded. Says Bergeant Ballantyne in his memoin: “Lord Lytton was very fond of whist, and he and I both belonged to the well-known Portland Club, in which were to be found the celebrated p'ayera of the day. He ncvi r showed the slightest disposition of a gambler. He played the game well, aid without excitement or temper, and appa rently his whole attention was concentrated upon it; but It was curious to see at every interval that occurred in the rubbers he would rush off to a writing table, and with equally concentrated attention proceed with some literary work until called again to take his place at the whist table. There was a member of the club, a lery harniltft, inoffensive man, of the name of Towuecd, for whom Lord Lytton entertained a mortal antipathy, and would rever play whilst that gemleman was In the room. He firmly be lieved that be brought him bad luck. I was a witness to what must be termed an odd coincidence. Ore afternoon, when Lord Lytton was playing, snJ had enjoyed an Un interrupted run of luck, It suddenly turned, upon which be exclaimed: ‘I am surf that Mr. Townend lao come into tbe club.’ Some three minutes after, just time ecougfl to ascend the stairs, In walked tnis unlucky personage. Lord Lytton, as soon as the rubber was over, left tbe table and did not renew the play.” Within a few days last month no fewer than one hundred and twenty-five mutilated Jews were taken into a single hospital at Odessa, and many others were expected soon to arrive from the ruins of their homes in the neighborhood. An Austrian physi cian who has visited the place describee some of tbe horrors he witnessed there. The most of the wounds, he says, were of a very dangerous character, “the aggressors having been cruel enough to pour spirits and petroleum into th m. ” Did they resist this treatment, the Russians cut off arms and legs, and carried them to the woods as food for wolves. One young woman of eighteen years had her “breast cut off with a sword, wht e her one-year-old tiaby had its eye 6 put out with a red-not iron.” On Eas'er eve, she says, “a wiid horde burst open her door, took her baby, and threatened not to return It until 6he had given up all the money and valuables in the house. Bue fetched ail she had. When tbe child was returned to her, its eyes had already been put out. In ht r despatr she threw rierself upon those who bad dore the horrible deed, but they flnug her to the ground, treated her in the most horrible fashion imaginable, and when her husband returned and drew a revolver, he was thrown to the ground al6o, bound with cords, and forced to look on while tbe mon sters cut his wife’s breast clean awey. She was !.-ft lying there with her baby, out the man was carried off, and she has never heard of him since.” An old man with a white beard had had hia arm broken in three places; another had had both his feet sawed off; one boy’s breast was cleft in two, and anotbir’s teeth were torn out. About 3,000 children in that part of Russia are depend ent ou the world, having lost their parent?. An Unrecorded Scene at the While House. G-ohe-Democrat, There was a scene at a social dinner at the White House early in March that was not put down in tbe programme. The President had brought around him the members ot his Cabinet, a few Senators and friends, with an equal number of ladies, for one of the most exquisite din ners that he had then given. The gilded walls, the pomegranate plush hangings, the thickets of azaleas, the beds of roses, and the table with its beautiful flow ers and crystal that was set in the centre of the private dining room, all ministered to happy hearts and smiliDg faces. Mr. Blaine sat facing the host, and in the general sociability of the par ty there was talking across and all round the board, in which the President and Mr. Blaine were foremost in humor and repartee. Several times the President unwittingly addressed him as “Mr. Sec retary,” the title by which Cabinet offi cers are personally designated, and each time Mr. Blaine's plumage was visibly ruffled, and his black eyes snapped sup pressed sparks. At the third time his words were repc-ated Mr. Blaine leaned forward and said quickly, “I’ll thank you, Mr. President, not to address me by the title of tbe office of which you have deprived me. To you lam simply Mr. Blaine.” The company were struck dumb, and sat pale and silent, as if hit by a thunder clap.
