AUGMJBTA, O-A-.s WEDNESDAY MORNING...JuIy 18, 1866 New England vs. The West The Tariff bill, like most of the meas ures passed by the present Radical Congress, meets with the condemnation of the conservative press and people of the whole country, except, perhaps, the little arrogant, effervescing section, yclept, on the maps of the United States, New England. The West is now be ginning to discover where its true in terest lies. It has lain dormant for years, and allowed New England to override Western interests, while it built up its own. It now perceives that the active wide-awake little dwarf is more than a match for the great slumbering giant, and it begins to “shake i.s ambrosial curls and give the nod, - ’ or rather the growl, of discontent. It learns now that its true ally is the 1 South; that with the Southern members in their seats, New England and Penn sylvania monopolists would be at a serious disadvantage, and the interests of the whole country better secured. With the present Congress there can be no such result. Therefore, anew Democratic Conservative Congress should be elected this approaching Fall. Illinois, it is claimed, will elect nine or ten Democratic members out of licr delegation of fourteen. Let the other Western States follow her exam ple. Let the Democracy and the Union men of the West go to work in earnest, and, not satisfied with bare majorities let them be overwhelming, & that the new Congress can go into power backed by millions of Conservatives, an assur ance to them and to President Johnson that they have the masses of the people with them. Then with a reconstructed Union and a reconstructed and reor ganized Congress, the unwise and un constitutional legislation of the Radicals can he undone,the Union be re-establish ed, and all sections be harmonized, and ! united in the glorious work of advancing the Nation’s prosperity and greatness. The Cincinnati Enquirer, an able Democratic Western journal, thus al ludes to the passage of the Tariff bill, and the necessity of a full Congress : That gigantic robbery of the whole people for the benefit of a few interested monopolists in New England and Penn sylvwiia, has passed the House of Rep resentatives, as we stated yesterday, b> a vote of ninety-four to fifty-three.- A genuine House of Representatives, in which all the States are present, consists of two hundred and thirty-seven mem bers. The number of votes necessary to pass a measure would be one hundred and nineteen. This bill has, therefore, received tw-enty-lbur votes less than otic half of the members of a constitutional House. In this fact we see one of the principal reasons w hy the New England monopolists have been so anxious to keep the Southern members out while this bill, to put money in their pockets, was acted upon. We see another thing: how vitally important it is for the pro tection of the West that the Southern numbers should be in their seats. Had Uiey been there, as they should have been, this abominable scheme of plun der would have been defeated by fifty majority. No such iniquitous and corrupt law was ever before passed by any political assembly pretending to derive its power from the people. That large sums of money were spent by the lobby agents of the monopolists to secure its passage there can be no doubt. They could Well afford to, for the small privileged class they represent will draw from the people, under its operation, at least two hundred millions of dollars a year in the in creased prices of necessaries of life. The biir is now before the Senatorial Rump. A Model Railroad.— “ Crocus,” the facetious correspondent of the Pithole Record, writes to tha paper from Rich mond, Va., and thus describes the me dium of transportation “We came by the way of the Orange, Lemon, and Alexandria Rail Road, and wouid say to persons who are tired of life, and in a hurry to get through, try this line. You leave Washington in the evening, and, as a general thing, will arrive in Heaven or Richmond the next day. Each train is provided with a surgeon, undertaker, amputating table, and other ‘luxuries besides these, it has some of the finest coflins 1 ever expect to see. Hospitals are established along the entire route, and in case of fatal accident, the bodies of strangers are immediately embalmed. The arrangements are so perfect, and accidents so sure on this road, that many persons have their limbs taken oil’ and embalmed before starting, to avoid delay while on the cars.” We publish the above for the humor it contains. Os course we do not en dorse his unjust aspersions upon one of our best rail roads. —Richmond Dis patch. Breach or Promise Between an Aged Pair or Lover*.—A widow of forty-three summers, and the mother of four blooming children, two of whom are married, lately sued a gay deceiver for breach of promise. The “deceiver” is an old man of seventy-six, the father of nine children, and the possessor of two farms. The parties live in Warren county, Ohio. This aged lover gave the fat and forty, if not fair widow, several rides in his buggy to church, and other places, and told the lady that be might conclude to marry some day, and if he did, he thought she would be the woman. Upon this hint she acted, purchasing a weddiug dress, and consulted a few par ticular female friends in regard to the wedding cake. At this stage, however, the old man crawfished—declined to ful fill the engagement—flatly denied that he ever intended to marry the lady. To heal her lacerated feelings she brought suit against the “perfidious old chap,” and received $2,665, which made her happy. A Siberian Woman.—A gentleman who is engaged in the telegraphic expe dition in Siberia, relates the following incident in a letter to a friend in Cin cinnati : “I met with a Ivorak woman of about twenty-two years of age on the great Tundra (marked Ivorak on the map), who drove a team of reindeers, with a loaded sledge, fifty versts in one day, and at night slept out in the show, with no covering whatever, except the clothes she had worn during the dny, and in a temperature 43° below zero, or To 0 below' the freezing point 1 Think of that, ye effeminate ladies of America. That 1 saw myself, although even to tne it seems incredible now. I thought it an extraordinary thing to sleep in a reindeer skin, out of doors, in such weather, and I should have frozen to death in two hours had I attempted to sleep without it. She traveled with us, driving her own reindeer, and sleeping on the snow every night.” Mr. Davis.— The Louisville Journal says : “According to the most reliable accounts, Mr. Davis, if not soon per mitted to go at large, will die in prison t without a trial, after the long confine ment he has endured. And this, we cannot hesitate to say, would be a most deplorable thing. It would boa calam ity in a national point of view. It would create a feeling of intense bitterness against our Government in the hearts of millions of our own people, while foreign nations would, with almost one voice, and that a voice of thunder, cry out ‘shame 1’ May Heaven avert any such monstrous evil!” “Carry me Back.” —A negro has for mally petitioned the Probate Court of Tallahatchie county, Alabama, to be allowed to sell himself into slavery. He says he is twenty-two years old, a good field hand, and he believes worth a thousand dollars. He says there are too many responsibilities surrounding him, and that he is dissatisfied with his present condition. The Probate Court, having no jurisdiction in the premises, has forwarded the petition to Thad. Stevens. —The following are some very sensi ble words, very pleasantly expressed by the Louisville Democrat: “Mr. Adams, our Minister to England, wants Jeff Davis disgraced and dismissed. Sew ard replies, ‘your sentiments are deemed just and wise.’ Part of the programme is easy. We can dismiss Jeff Davis. A man may disgrace himself, but we don’t know how another can disgrace him if he will not help to do it. Davis must bear the discredit of his own acts and failures, but the Government may make bis name immortal by disgracing itself. Man is a very perverse animal. He will not feel, think, and act as we wan* him to. He will talk coolly about the good qualities of Davis, and curse the barbarous Government that sub jected him to ill treatment when a help less prisoner, and kept him long under punishment without a trial—and that, too, when it never intended to try him. Our righteous indignation at rebels the world will justly laugh at. History is full of the deeds of rebels—honorable rebels—patriotic rebels. This country was born of rebellion, and our rolling up our eyes at rebels the rest of man kind will look upon as a ridiculous spectacle in the eyes of gods and men. As to the exploit of disgracing people, we don’t see how a man can bo really disgraced unless he disgraces himself. We have heard a good deal about making the rebellion infamous, but no one has invented the means to do it any further than it makes itself so.” —lce formed in pails and pitchers in many houses in Austin, Nevada, Juno 7th.

Tho PIANO-FOKTES—Grand, Square, and Upright—manufactured by Messrs. STEINWAY SONS have established for themselves so world-wide u reputation that it is hardly possible for us to add anything to their just fame. IlaviDg thoroughly tested and tried these Instruments personally for years, both in public and private, it becomes our pleasant duty to express our caudid opin ion regarding their unquestioned superiority over any other Piano known to us. Among the chief points of their uniform excellence arc : Greatest possible depth, richness, and volume of tone,combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness, and perfect evenness throughout the entire scale, and, above all, a surprising duration of sound, tho pure and sympathetic quality of which never changes under tho most delicate or powerful touch. This peculiarity is found exclusively in tho STEIN WAY PIANO, and, together with tho matchless precision, elasticity, and promptness of action always charac terizing these instruments, as well as their unqualified durability uuder tho severest trials, is truly surprising, and claims at once tho admiration of every artist. We, therefore, consider tho STEI NW A Y PIANOS, in all respects, the best Instru ments made in this country or Europe, uso them solely .and exclusively ourselves, in public or private, and recommend them invariably to our frieuds and the public. We have at different times expressed our opinion regarding the Pianos of various makers, but freely and unhesitatingly pro nounce Messrs. STEINWAY & SONS' PIANOS superior to them all. S. B.
