The year 1850 marks an important era
in tho history of railroad management in
this country, for it was in that yoar that
the use of telegraphio signals in moving

Don Putt thinks one great difference
between oapital and labor is this; The
Government can compel the poor man to
go to battle and saorifloe his llfo, but doeB
not touoh the rich man's board without

Gail Hamilton revives tbo old story
about General Jackson and George
Oroghan, the splendid hero of the Fort
Stephenson tight iu 1813, who, with
handful of men, maintained against
thousand British and Indians, a position
that involved ull communication and de
fences of the Northwest. Crogau, with
this gallant rooord, was to be oourt.mar-
tial on the charge of “Intomperouoo in
alooholio drinks.” When the old Gen
oral heard this, ho laid down his pipe rose
from his chair, smote the table with his

gy declared: “Those proceedings of the

currency for those who wish one, hut I
think paper is the best. Wm. D. Holley
has the true idea, though it is not original
with him. A motallio ourrenoy is want
ing in elasticity. At times an expansion
of the circulating medium is ucoesaary
for the pnrohase of crops, transportation,
etc. What we want is an issne of legal-
taader notea, convertible at any time into
an internet-bearing stock of the United
Bute*—a stock for which tho holder
oould got carrenoy, with aooraed interest,
whonever be aboald dosiro, at a rate of iu.
tereat no higher than S Co per cent. Tho
desired amount of circulation would be
absorbed when not usod for commercial
purposes aud bouds would bo oouvertod
wheu the bnmuoas of tho oountry require
od a largo uuiuuut of ourronoy. Suoh
eurreuey would soon be on a par with
gold, and it would be the parent of new
prosperity and of a now era of patriot-
itiu." *

BRIBERY IN IIIUH CIRC LEM*
The United BUles Senate appointed a
committee to investigate certain obarges
against Senator Grover of Oregon. Gro
ver was the Governor who oertiffed to the
oleotion of Cronin as Tildon elector in
that BUte. It will be renumbered the
eight to seven ruled one away in Florida
and anothor in Orogon, the oanse being
that Florida had a Badioal Governor,
since deposed beesnse ho wss not eleotod,
and another in Oregon, where Grover, a
Democrat, was Chief Executive. The
Electoral Commission decidod the certifi
cate of the Florid* man was perfectly oor-
reet, bnt that of the Oregon one was all
wrong. The first was a Badical
who the Courts of hit State do-
oided bad not received a majority,
of the votes of bis Bute and immediately
thereafter loft the county. The ooeond was
a Demoorat and they said they could go
bohind bis return. The Bepnblioans had
one majority on the National, ltetarning
Board and henoo they took the return of
the Badioal Governor,who wss no Govern,
or, and refused to notice the subsequent
retnrn of the rightfully eleoted Governor;
and changing taotios went behind the
certificate of the legal Governor of Ore
gon, becanso be was a Demoorat. Bo Mr.
Hayoa was inducted into offioe by palpa
ble fraud.
Subsequently the United States Senate,
Bepnblican, resolved to investigate Gro
ver, of Oregon, who wss eleoted to that
body and admitted as snoh. He demand
ed an investigation himself. Senator
Morton wss appointed chairman of the
committee which went to Oregon and
fully investigated the obargos of bribery,
alleged to have been committed by Gov.
Grover in seenring his eleotion as Sena
tor. The result is that Senator Grover
wss triumphantly acquitted and hia ene ■
mies turned to shame.
One Stiles, who swore to positive sots
of bribery, is nndor lndiotment for per
jury. Iiis testimony was so glaringly
false that even the Badioal Committee
oould not consider it. Now comes one
W. B. Higby and makes an affidavit that
Stiles was hired to give his testimony by
A. W. Waters, United States Marshal,and
John Kelly, Collector of Unstoms and
Bovonno. Ho also says that Holly indnoed
him '(Higby) to prooure affidavits from
E. A. Lake, also unfavorable to Grover,
and that ho paid Lako for his affidavit by
an order on United States Marshal Waters,
in aooordanoe with Kelly’s orders.
Iilgby’s nflidut it oonoladoB as follows:
“I interviewed Morton at Bon Holladay’a
in Portland, nnd informed him of the
foots, and said to him that if I was pnt
on the stand my testimony would bo in
aooordanoo herewith ; ho said for me not
to go before tho investigating oommitteo
in Oregon, bat to oomo to Washington,
D. C.; that my mileage and foes would be
paid, and I kept out of tho way undor
Morton’s instructions. ”
Now Senator Morton bates tho Sonth
worse than tho modioines be baB boon
forcod to tr'to for tbo greater portion of
his lifo, and tho Domooratio party aa
badly, booaima it is national, nnd opposed
to hoisting tho bloody shirt, which is tho
Senator’s principal oloqaonoo, bnt wo do
Dot boliove ho will ovor bo a subornor of
porjury. In fact, the her of Indianapolis,
wheuoo Higby osmo, bnvo published
card, Btstiug they would not boliovo tho
man on oath. It shows, howovor, the
mosniums of tbo underlings tho prinoi-
plo man employ, and tho scoundrelly
ivUnancon exercised to defeat Demoornoy.
It is all unavailing. Dcmooraoy is march
ing on to viotory and it will l>o won. The
rorrso of tbo instruments nsod in Orogon
to tho dotrimeut of a Senator dovolops
that tho Bepnblioans of a certain olnas
will adept any uioaus to dofeat thoso who
hnvo thwarted thoir nefarious purposes.
HEATH OF ADMIRAL RAPHAEL
MEMHES.
This distinguished naval officer died
yesterday in Mobile, Alabama. His name
will ever live in the annals where deeds
of honor and glery are MiebratAd. His
exploits in Ibe old navy, and as a com
mander of the Sumter and Alabama, in
Uonfcdoratc days will ever give him prom
inence aa a naval commander. With
these steamers he drove the Federal ma
rine from the high seas. Had the one
hundred pound shell which his gunners
threw on the bow of the Keersage off
Cherbourg Harbor exploded, the history
of the combat would read very
differently. We believe this shell is still
preserved and exhibited as a curiosity
in the Navy Yard at Washington. The
Alabtma wss s wooden ship, bnt she went
down with flying oolors. The Kearssge
was ebain plated, but Admiral Semmea
was not aware of the fact. After the
revolution Admiral Bemmes commenced
the praotioe of law at Mobile, Ala., and
was eleoted Judge of Probste,but for some
time was not allowed by Federal authority
to take possession of the offloe. Onr recol
lection is that subsequently took he it.
In Appleton’s Oyolopedia we find the
following sketeh of his life:
Bsphael Semmes was born in Charles
oonnty, Maryland, September 27, 1809.
He entered the United States nsvy as a
midshipman in 182G, became lieutenant
in 1837, and oommander in 1835. Id
1884, while awaiting orders, he stndied
law and was admitted to the bar at Cum
berland, Maryland. Daring the Mexican
war ho aerved both on board ahip and as
sn aids to Gan. Worth. On the ontbreak
of the civil war he resigned the secretary
ship of the Lighthonse Board at Wash-
ington, took command of the Confederate
steamer Snmter at New Orleans, ran the
blookade at the month of the Mississippi,
and in July, 1801, captured several Ameri
can merchant vessels in the Gnlf. He
then went to Southampton, England,
where he was for some time closely
watched by the United States steamer
Tnsoarora. When he pnt to ses, the Tna-
oarora waa detained twenty- four hours by
the British antborities ; bnt she followed
him to the straits of Gibraltar, end so
hlooksdsd him in the port of Tangier, that
he sold his vessel and returned to England.
In August, 18G2, he took command of the
steamer Alabama, bnilt for him at Birken
head, England, and manned by an Eng
lish orew, and oontinnod bis oaroer of
capturing and destroying merehant ves
sels. On January 11, 18G3, off Galveston,
Texas, he engaged the United States gun-
bost Usttoros, and sftor a short action
sunk her. On Jane 19, 18U4, in an en
gagement 9 m. off the harbor of Ghor-
bonrg, Franco, the United States stoamor
Koarsarge, Capt. Winslow, sank tho Ala
bama. Semmea was taken np by the
English yaoht Deerhound and osrried to
England. After the olose of the war he
entered upon the praotioe of law in Mo
bile, Ala. He was arrested and taken to
Washington in Deoomkor, 18GG, bnt was
only Imprisoned four months. He has
delivered pnblie lootmes on his exploits,
nnd haa published “Borvico Afloat and
Ashore during the Moxioan War” (1851);
"Campaign of Gen. Soott in the Valley of
Mexioo” (1852) ; “Tho Orniso of the Ala
bauia end the Snmtor” (London and New
York, (18G4) ; and "Monioirn of the Ser
vice Afloat during the War betweon the
States.”

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
The Now York Tribune ventures to
issue s warning to business mon to bo
wore of dangerous ventures this fell,
qnd shouts out to them to hold hard. It
finds tbo stock msrkot booming with wild
spoenintion, sad as to tho banks, loans
npou stock collaterals to sn extent not
equalled before since tho days of 1873.
It oomparus tho bank returns of Augitit
2, 1873, and August 4, 1877, as follows :

It veutnros tho opinion that the loans
are aa largolv based upon speculative ad
ventures as they were in 1873, and "that
tho Btook market is in n most oritical con
dition; that a very reckless speculation is
sustained by enormous loans by the
banks on stock collaterals; that a vory
great aud rapid fall in prioe of slooks is
oontempated by every body in the street
as likely when the strong holders eon get
rid of their veutures; that pricee are
shoved np doBperatcly to help them ; and
that iho fall, if it oomes, will bring aa
groat pressnre as that of 1873 npon bsnks
very much loss sbla to boar it.” With the
conditions of only two trunk roads paying
dividends, and theso on borrowed money,
with business sleek everywhere, with the
oxtont of the grain crops unknown, and
with banks betting tbo prosperity of the
oommuuity on the sueeoss of gamblers,
who waut higher prioos for stocks, the
Tribune looks for trouble in September,

From the Herald.]
A wealthy man of New York, gonorally
alleged to be one of tho presontorB of s
residence at Long Branoh to Gen, Grant,
said to me last Sunday:
"Yon make some inquiries about
Grant’s original cottage. I think you will
find that it never was the proposition of
anybody largely interested in Long
Branch to bring Gen. Grant hero. The
soberno bad a Philadelphia origin. A
snbseription list was taken aronnd among
the residents and sojourners by a Phila
delphia person, and a number who sub
scribed never paid np, so that the balance
had to be settled np by one man mainly,
and ho not the Phlladolphian aforesaid.
Thera is more matter for laughter than
condemnation in thesnbjeet.”
Gen. Grant, it is reported here on good
authority, got to be a tolerably
bold operator on hia own account in
atooks, particularly mining stoeks. He
made $8,000 one forenoon in Oinoinnati,
just before his departure for Europe, buy
ing a oertain Nevada stook by telegraph
through the Drexels. A member of the
Syndicate at Long Branoh Bays that he
paid $30,000 to Gen. Grant in stook
profits. Grant takiDg his own advioe.
Yet be made also large losses, and it is
the onrrent opinion hero, where he is best
known, that tbs General is worth $250,-
000 to $350,000, or less than half his av
enge salary.
ONLY A JOKE.
JUDGE KEY EXTLEIKINO HIS nEFEBBNOB TO
“EBBING BBETHREn" OF THE SOUTH.
lVaihinaton special to the New York Sun. 1
Postmaster General Key, on bis retnrn
here to-day, found an aoonmnlation of
private correspondence, some of which
was not altogether pleasant reading. He
is not altogether composed over the mat
ter in whioh hia expression abont “erring
brethren" is being reoeived at the Sonth.
He explains that unfortunate reference by
saying that it waa meant to be faoetions.
It was supposed to have quotation marks
abont it, and he thonght at the time that
it was a good joke and enjoyed it im
mensely, aa did bis andienoe. In the
same wsy his quotation, “While the lamp
holds oat to barn the vilest sinner may
retnrn,” was meant to be faoetions, jnst
ss Hayes' misquotation from one of the
parables of oar Bsvioar was intended to
be a joke. This explanation is no donbt
trntbful, bnt it does seem that both Hayes
and Key seleeted a very inappropriate
plaoe to get off bad jokes at a Methodist
camp-meeting, and to make a faoetions
play on suoh sacred words waawdtogether
unbecoming in men who professed to be
devout Christiana.
When Field Marshal Von Mol ike was a
simpleoolonolhe astonishod the members
of hia mesa by his regularly taking ten
Frederiok d'ors out of his pocket st tbo
beginning of dinner, and laying them
besido hia plate. Always after dinner
he re pocketed the gold, buttoned up bis
coat, looked sourly around, and disap
peared. It was resolved to ask him the
meaning of bis strange behavior, “Well,”
he said, “I have notioed from the time I
entorod Ibis regiment, that the conversa
tion at table haa always turned on women,
cards, or hone racing, and I have deter
mined to make a present of ten pieces
of gold to the first man who should start
a sensible subject. No one has yet earned
them."

Beth, Meine, Angnst 24, 1877.
When I startod from New York for
Plymouth they told me “yon are going
down East,” and when I started from
Plymouth for Bath, they told me again
“yon are going down East.” Bo when I
reaohed Bath I said to myself thit is down
East. Bnt . the Bathites ‘don’t so under
stand it. They say that New Brunswick
and Nova 8cotia is “down East.” What
the “bins noses" of these letter regions
have to say npon the subject I can't tell
yon ; bnt it is reasonable to suppose that
they locate that noted land of oodflsh and
potatoes way off towards Hudson Bay or
Greenland.
The land along (be railroad from Bos
ton to Plymouth, and also to Taunton,
vary poor. Georgia need not be ashamed
to oSmptre with it either in soil or pro
ductions. I saw searoeiy anything bnt
grass. Corn is seen only in petohee, and
is small. The oats and wheat had been
gathered, but I saw few signs of either.
Cattle are soaroe, and raised only for milk
and work oxen, and ohiokens are still
scarcer. These people are not as fond of
fried ebioken aa onrs, and this may be
one of the reasons why the Methodist
Cbnreh has never flourished np here. Of
late years they seem to be getting strong
in the towns and oities, bnt in the oonn-
try the people are Oongregationalists.
It strikes t Southern man as a strange
feature to And in nearly every town here
Unitarian, Universalist and Bwedenbor-
gian ohurohes bard by the orthodox, and
apparently as large. Why it is that these
things, as also Spiritualism, flourish here,
whilst they are almost unknown at the
Sonth, 1 oan't tell. If ednoation tends to
elevate the people in spirtnal as well ob in
intelleotnal matters, then we shonld ex
peot to see New England far in advanoe
of the Sonth in both these elements, but
there is, in my opinion, more good sonnd
orthodox Christian faith in Georgia than
in any State east of the Hudson river.
PorhapB the mnob loarning of the people
has made them mad.
Tho school bonsos I saw in Plymonth,
Bath and Taanton, are tho highest evi
donees that oonld bo given of the value
these people set npon pnblio schools, and
when I saw them, and thonght of onrB,
was mortifiod at the comparison. We are,
in the matter of pnblio odnoation, at least
a generation behind the North. Shall we
ever be np we it ? I very much donbt it,
and if odnoation is to bring with it nnbe-
liof and infidelity, I hope we never will.
I had rather havo onr shabby school
huUHes without all these costly ohurohes,
dodioated to skepticism and all other isms,
than to havo thoir splendid edifioea with
the ohurohes.
Having a few hoars to spare in Boston,
I improved the oeoasion in making viBita
to Bnnkor Hill Monument and Fanenil
Hall. My reoollections of Boston were
rather vagne, os I had only seen it onae
before and then when I wss a young man,
end only remembered that it had very fat
horses sad very crooked streets. They
are just the Bame to-day. I went to the
top of tho Monument, and aa I toiled pain
folly np ,its 295 stone steps, the idea OO'
onr red to me that General Toombs was
very prudent in loos ting the soene of his
‘roll oall” at ita foot. Even if the Gen'
oral had the slaves to oall, and Boston
would oonsent to the assembly, I donbt
whether one of his size end age oonld get
np there—nniesa some enterprising Yen-
koe should pnt np an elevator. Bat when
I gazed ont npon the greet oity, spread in
every direotion at my feet, and saw Bos
ton, atrong in its briok and atone—strong
in its wealth and magnifloenee—and
stronger than all in ita intelligence end
manhood, I wondered how so great a mind
oonld oonoeive so foolish an idea.
I was surprised to find Fanenil Hall
be a market, and was still more sur
prised to find that it was originally
bnilt for that purpose. When bnilt
was finished in a style of elegance wbioh
rendered it an ornament to the town; bnt
it is now deoidedly more useful than
ornamental. Still, it was well suited
be the “cradle of liberty;” bnt now,
sinoo the Infant has proven to be a giant,
it must needs dwell in the palatial Capitol
at Washington Oity.
The oity of Bath is noted for building
tho largest number of wooden ships
any plaoe in the world. Ita natural ad
vantages for this great industry seems to
me to be oonflned to the noble river npon
whioh it is situated. The water is thirty
feet deep at low tide np to the wharf.
Of oonrse ship building is the prinoiple
bnaineBs. Whan you oome here you must
expect to talk and think mainly upon this
subjeot. I felt interested, and made
some investigation into the manner in
whioh a ship is bnilt. The shape of eaoh
pieee of timber in the frame is ent ont of
thin boards end these shapes sent to the
timber cutters, who hew out eaoh pieee
in the woods. The timber need is either
hsekmeteok, whioh grows in Meine, or
white oak, from Maryland and Virginia.
Both the inner and onter timber is good
old Georgia pine, the best timber, in the
opinion of ship bnildera, in the world.
Here, then, we find Virginia furnishing
the ribs and Georgia the flesh, whilst
Maine gets credit for the ship.
I enquired of e prominent ship bailder
why Bath coaid afford to bring all the
timber from so great s distance and still
stand ahead of the world, and he informed
mo that the reason was because they had
a large body of skilled|worirman,who have
followed the bnsineaa of their fathers for
generations.
In these days experience and skill enter
so largely into all kinds of loanafaotnring
that transportation of material beoomee a
small matter. Here are vessels being
built with at lent three-foortha of all the
timber used bronght from Georgia at a
