London, December 16.—In bis speech
last Saturday, in reply to the question cl
M De Goutaut Biron, in the French Sen
ate (not in the chamber of deputies, as
stated in a Versailles dispatch,) M.
!VuddicgtoD,the French foreign minister
said: “I am happy to say, that despite
certain hankerings for doing more or less
than the treaty of Berlin requires, all the
cabinets, those having something to gain
u well as those havirg something to lose
by such divergences, ultimately seen that
the execution of tbe treaty on all sides is
the only way of cot jeopardizing the peace
of-Europe. We were the first to main
tain that opinion and all have come round
to it.
A large cumber of its clauses are nl-
»eady carried out. Batonm with its ter
ritory, has been given up to Russia. The
Russian! have evacuated Erzeroum.
The Ktal.mr district has been landed
ovtr to Russia. The Dobrudska fc.m
been occupied by Eenmania. The Bos
nia and Herzegovina question is nearly
settled cud an Auitro-Turkish Conven
tion seems cn the point of being conclud
ed.
In Montenegro difficulties resulting
from tbe very peculiar local situation
have delayed the surrender of Podgo-
ritza, but the Porte is endeavoring to el-
feet it. The Servian delimitation is halt
finisht d.
Tbe French Commissioner came to
Paris a few days ago, and though the bad
eeason prevents the completion of the
bounding of the Veanja district, the chief
obstacle of the Congress has been settled
and accepted on both sides. Tho Bon-
melian delimitation is lees advanced, and
cannot be carried on at all points in tbe
winter, bnt we hope it will bo terminated
ntxt spring.
Great diffisui.iea still exist resulting
from the distress of the oonntry after the
obronio antagonism of Musaol-uen and
Christians, but negitia’.ioca have hern
held on that point, acd T hope lust,
thanks to the good w..l if tbe powers,
they will be successful.
As to Greeoe yon know that the initia
tive with which we are rep'roaohed is a
part of onr traditional policy. To give
satisfaotion to Greeoe is to remove one of
the mo3t dangerous elements of tbe East
ern question, and it is to the interest of
the Porte it.elf for the treaty of Berlin to
have some durability.
Washington, D. C., December 16.—
The Potter committee held a meeting to
day and took action upon the application
of Attorney General Cocker, of Florida,
to be permitted to introduce evidence cor
roborative of his statement last winter,
that he had seen Gov. Noyes and Gov.
Stearns come out of the room whero tho
board of canvassers were in session, al
though for nn boar or more he had been
nnable to obtain admission, whioh state
ment was emphatically denied by Noyes
and Stearns. The committee to-aay de
cided, as this oonfliot of veraoity does not
involve any material point in the subject
of inquiry, they will not hear any wit
nesses concerning it, bnt they m»de an
order allowing Cocker to file ex parte i-ffi-
davits to support; hi3 statement, and
granting the same permission the other
side. No sub-committee will be sent to
Florida to continue the investigation of
matters there.
No action was taken tc-day in regard
to sending a sub-committee to Louisiana.
The Eepublican members have selected
Cor, of Ohio, to represent them on any
sub-committee that may be sent to Lou
isiana. Blackburn will probably acorn
oasy Potter as tbe second Democratic
member. Itis supposed tbat additional
investigation in Louisiana conld be com
pleted within a week or ten days. Bai
ler was not present at the meeting to-day,
and no allusion was made to the cypber
telegrams. The committee are to meet
again next Wednesday.
In the Honse, a bill appropriating
$150,000 for deficiency in the railroad
mail transportation has been reported
from tbe committee on appropriations
ani is to be acted on to-morrow.
Ooalmsrs moved to suspend the rales
and pass the bill, making it a penal of
fense for an; officer, agent or contractor,
of the State to interfere with the eleottun
of members of Congress or of President,
by contribution of money or by nse or
abase of offioial privilege, or by bribes,
threats, influence, and etc; a'so makes it
a penal offense to soliait or receive con
tributions for election purposes from per
sons in the employment of tbe govern
ment. Rejected, yeas 132, nays 103, not
tbo necessary two thirds m tho affirma
tive. The Republicans voted no, tne
Democrats aye, Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
voting with the Democrats.
A resolution was adopted, ofiling on
tbe Secretary of tne Treasury for iufor
mation, whether there was any bislance on
loan account standing to the credit of
the Treasury in any national bank on the
first March, 1876, or on the first of any
succeeding montn, until January, 1879,
with tbe name of snoh banks and amount
held by each.
Tho Treasury Department contem
plates the issuance, of a circular fixing
thr commissions to subscriptions for the
four per cent consols to Jnne 13, 1879:
SnbscriptiooB for one hnndred thousand
to one million dollars, i of one per cent;
subscriptions from one.million to ten
millions, i of one per cent; amounts in
excess.of ten< millions, additional com
mission of one tenth of one per cent It
is thought offering snob inducements,
the large aggregate subscriptions’ sale of
bonds will be greatly stimulated.
The Honse of Eepresen>atives has al
ready passed five general appropriation
bills, viz: West Point Academy, Fortifi
cation, Consultr and DipIoaaMc, Pension
and Support of tte Nivy, and now will
be acted upon by tho Senate. The
Indian appropriation b-11 baa been as
signed for coosideia ion to-morrow. No
others will be reported from the commit
tee until after the recess,
Sherman sent to tbe Senate, in response
to a resolution of the 5th test., a com
manloution in relation to the'Freedman’d
Saving and Trust Company. He states
that tbe balances standing to the credit
of tbe institution at the end of each year
are as follows: December 31st, 1874.
$147,541; December 31st, 1875. $249,176;
December 31st, 1876. $265,694; Decem
ber 31-t, 1877, $381, 306; November 31st,
1878, $239,473. These lands are of the
natnre of disbursing accounts, and are
subject at all times as checks of tbe com'
missionere, and are not therefore availa
ble for the use of tbe department. No
interest has been paid, and the depart
ment having been charged with tbe re
sponsibility and labor of holding and
paying oat these fands do63 not reoom
mend any interest be paid. Mr. Sher
man renews the recommendation made
last year, that tho baok bniiding bo pnr-
ohuecd for tbe nse of tbe government,
and suggests that tbe final closing up of
the affairs of the company be entrusted
to a receiver, under the direction of tbe
ComDtroller of the Oarrenoy, for whioh
legitlition ii necessary, ss well as for
time allowing dividends uncalled for to
ennro to tho benefit of otber depositors.
In tbo Senate—After some opposition
from tbe Democratio aide, and an unsne-
cecsfal motion by Senator M&ithews to
take up the Texas Pacific bill, the vote
on that motion being yeas 26, nays 36,
Mr. Blainb’s resolution regarding the de
privation of citizens of their rights was
taken up. The question being on Thur
man’s amendment, wbi.h was agreed to
without division.
Mr. Conkling moved at an amendment
tbat the investigation be made by a select
committee of nine instead of the J udiciary
Committee, which was agreed to. Mr.
Blaine then submitted an amendment au
thorizing the committee to take testimo
ny by itself or by any sub-committee and
to visit any portion of the country, when
such visit may in their judgment facilt
tate any portion of the subjeotof the in
quiry; Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
moved to amend tbe amendment so as to
provide that the committee or any sub
committee thereof shall sit with open
doors—a very animated debits followed,
participated in by Messrs. Batler,Eaetip,
Mr. Batler’s amendment was reject'd by
a vote of 30 to 30, a strict party vote. A
subsequent amendment tbat tho commit
tee or any sub-committee should sit with
open doors when requested to do so by
any member of the committee, was also
rejected by a strict party vote and with
out farther aotion tho Senate adjourned
until to morrow.
The discussion tc-day was very anima
ted, tbe Democratic Senators, and partic
ularly Messrs. Butler, Mcrrimon and
Ransom persisting in the demand for an
open investigation. Mr. Bhine contend
ngagainst it with great activity.
The rtefeideut sent the following nom
inations to the Senate: Jno. Lorrell, of
Maeiashnsetts, United 'States Circuit
Judge of the first judicial circuit; Jo
seph C. Ulley, United States Marshal for
Southern District of Olio.
Nxw Yobk, December 16.—A3 sus-
pec:ed, the Manhattan Bank robbers
being taken from Jtffcrson police court
this afternoon, a desperate attempt was
made to resene one of them, Bad Leary,
Pistols were drawn and bnt for the
plucky resistance of the detectives, the
attempt wonld have Buoceeded. A man
named Beilly was arrested for participa
tion. It is reported that Farrell, the
second loader of tho Third Avenue etrkers,
has been arrested and clubbed by th9
polioo.
Quebec, December 16—In conse
quence of the death of Princess Alice,
prayers were yesterday offered in the
various city churches for the queen and
royal family in their affliction, and the
Dead March generally given at the con-,
elusion of the services.
Montbeac, December 16.—Deference
was made in all the ohurches yesterdsy
to the death of Princess Alice. The
chnrcbe3 were draped in mourning.
Tobonto, December 16.—Special pray
ers were offered in ths city chnrohes yes
terday for the qneen and toyal family, in
consequence of their present bereave
ment.
Washington, December 16—In tbe
Senate to day, Senator Bailer, in reply
ing to Blaine’s obj motions to the amend
ment of tbe former that the Investigation
Committee bold open sessions, said he
understood tbe (senator from- Maine ob-
jeoted to the amendment upon tbe
ground that in certain parts of the coun
try certain witnesses were willing to tes
tify seoretly, bnt not openly. The Sena
tor had spoken abont so and so being
alleged in regard to depriving citizens of
their rights. There was not a particle of
proof of tho fact. He (Bntier) as a
Senator, in part representing Sontb Caro
tins, desired to ssy to tbo Senate and to
tho oonntry, that the people of his State
desired tho moat completo and fullest in-
ves’igation whioh canid be made, ana
any witness who appeared ba'ore the
committee in Sonth Carolina conld testify
as safely as be oonld in Maine.
Mr. Eastts, of Louisiana, said so far as
Louisiana was concerned a part of tbe
investigations proved that RapuhLqau
witnesses were not intimidated, because
Republican witnesses not only testified on
theirs, but a great many of them testified
on both sides. Mr. Butler ta;d it Mr.
Blaine desired a full and fair investiga
tion, ai he claimed, he would vote for the
amendment to open the door?. Tne Sen
ator (Mr. Biaine) ssid he bad two hun
dred letters complaining of outrages.
He (Butler) understood the Senator to
say, in bis speech on Wcdecediy 4ist, that-
ho based his statements upoif newspaper
publications. If newspaper statements
were evidence, the Senator from Maiue,
as well as himself (Mr. Batter), would
have been hung and quartered long ago.
He (Mr. Butler) could go into Maine with
a corps of detect va- and make tbe State a
stench in the nostrils of the world.
Following the sams line of debate, Sen
ator B*yard said there was something
un-American in this secret inquisition.
If ihe charges made were true, no hoped
an exposure would follow and punishment
follow tx unsure. If the charges made
were uni rue he hoped tho punishment
would fall upon those who placed them
on foot. Merrimon, of North Carolina,
said he had an experience two years
ago op an investigating committee in
the Sonth and he conld not conceive of
a better ptan to encourage per j ary rlai
by having closed doors. He had seen,
day after day, tho rankest injustice done
to scores of men who werere not there to
defend themselves. Tbe secret investi
gations were against tbe principles of
eternal justice, and wronged tho Ameri
can people.
Mr. Esnsom, of North Jurolina, said
for seven long years he ba 1 sat here and
btard hie people abused, but Lis duty
was to bear it. Now, when it was pro
posed to indict them, they wouli meet
thejaccnssrs half way and saj: “Tarn on
the lights and see it all. God forbid that
it should go oat to tho bilaace of man
kind and go down the stream of time
forever that thi3 American declared that
an investigation sfconld not be made in
the light of day. [Ap! 111,36 in tbo ga
ieties ]
Washington, Deo. 16—Senator Ens-
tie, in bis rem&ike advocating Senator
Batler’s amendment, favoring open ses
sion of the proposed investigating com
mittee, said tbat be wonld avail himself
of a proper opportunity to vlndioate the
people of Linisiana against tbe oft re
peated end eft refated accusations whioh
bad been made against them in the Sen
ate for political purposes.
Boston, December 16. —The bark
Seirgarelia, for Boston, Captain Osgood,
arrived at this port Sunday, after a pas-
sigo of thirty-two days from .Goree,
west coa3t of A f rica. She was compelled
to retain withoutlinding all of her car
go. owing to the prevalence of yeilow fe
ver. At Goree the disiaso was very
malignant, many persons having died,
ineluding a large number of soldiers.
She lost one of her crew by fever.
London, December 16.—M. Wadding-
ton in bis speech said: “It is necessary
tbat the territories restored to the Porte—
tbe considerable nucleus it possesses in
Europe—should brfgoverned by it witheut
constant fear of attacks, in roads or re
volts on its frontier?. Turkey must be
able to set herself solely to internal reor
ganization, financial adjustment and de
velopment of her nnmercus resources in
Europe and Asia. Thb involves a reduc
tion of her armament, but so long as
there are constant menaces of revolt and
disorder on the frontier, whether io
Greece or elsewhere, she cannot devote
herself to that task. This is why Enrope
is pressing her accord to tbe rectification
of the Greek frontier. I cannot yet pro
dace the circulars I addreessd to tho pow
ers, for it invited them to do certain
things in certain contingencies net yet
realized,and it would be to nnnsnal to pub
lish a document which has not yet been
fully responded to, bat as soon as
a decisive point is reached, which I
hope will be the case shortly, I shall
publish tho dispatch, and all correspon
dence on Greeoe. In making that pro
posal every precaution was taken against
the action of France, being isolated. I
have now positive assurance of the co
operation of the powers without excep
tion and everything done in favor of
Greece will be through the colleottve ao
tion of Enrope at the instance of
France. I may repeat, in conclusion,
that we haT3 so kind of engagement
compromising onr neutrality, and tbat
Enrope has confidence in France, know
ing she has no ulterior designs. We -ill
enter into no engagement, bnt will re-
maia unfettered,
London, December 16.—A Beater’s
telegram from Constantinople eaye: Tho
Russian authorities at Adrianople have
sold immense quantities of grain and a
large cumber of horse?. It is stated
they intend to evaonato the city in Janu
ary. Tub Turks expelled some insurgent
bands from the Novi Bazar district.
Austria asked permission to appoint resi
dents of Novi Bazar to observe the move
mente of the insurgents. Dervish Past a.
formerly commandant at Batonm, awaits
trial for malversation.
London, December 16 —In the Honse
Commons. Sir Geo, Campbell remarked
that the Forte was still able to largely im
port monitions of war from America, al
though it professed its mabilit] to re
lieve the Bbodope refugees. Mr. Stan
hope, Under Secretary for India, moved
a resolution that the consent of the Honse
be given to the defrayal of the Afghan
war expenses from Indian resources, He
said the government hoped and believed
that the war wonld remain a more fron
tier war. Mr. Fawcett moved an amend
ment to tbe effect that the proposal was
unjust. Mr. Gladstone seconded the
amendment, declaring the proposal invit
ed the House to entirely abdicate control
over-the direction of the war. After sev-
erai.minor speeches, Sir Stafford North-
cote declared that it was not intended to
charge the whole military expenditure on
India. The debate was adjourned.
Ottoway, Out., December 16.—No
steps have yet been taken at Bideau
Hall, regarding the death of Princess
Alice. Neither the Marquis nor Princess
Louise attended divine service in the new
Edinburg Chapel yesterday, a special
service being conducted at Bideau HalL
It is probable that Imperial orders rega-
lating the nature of the mourning will
be cabled to-day, and will peihaps be
similar to those disp itched by the Secro
tary of State for the Colonies on the death
of the Prince Consort.
Washington, December 16.—The se
lect committee on yellow fever met in
joint session this evening. Af tor general’
discussion it was decided tbat respective
committees should act jointly, and that

It is generally agreed that Dr. Woodworth,
Superintendent of the Marine Hospital
Service, afad Drs; Barnes and Cochrane
will be pissed on Ihe list. Experts in

THE GEORGIA PRESS'
Suicide is assuming tbe form.of perfeot

A Mubdeekb Nabsed.—Sun Enquirer:
Oa Thursday night the negro who m or
dered Mr. Frank Jones came to onr city
He met a negro who waa onacquamtance
of his, and drayman for Mr. Thomas G.
Coleman. He told this drayman that be
would like to deliver himself up to the
proper authorities. When they arrived
at Mr. C.’s residence, he, Mr. C., was in
formed of the fact?, and on yesterday
morning delivered the negro to Sheriff
J. G. Burns, who placed him in jail. He
gave his name A3 W®. BobertSj confess
ed the deed, and aaid he was tired of bid
ing out. He seemed to think he had com
mitted zo crime, and indirectly implica
ted a white man. He said he would not
have shot Mr. Joaes, bnt they (the Jonas’)
ehot at him first. The statement of the
other side is altogether different, and if
tine, makes the negro guilty of murder.
Mr Drake, of Auburn, waa in the city,
and tbo negro agreed in tne forenoon to
go to Auburn with him, but when the
time come to leave, he refused, eaying:
“I don’t know what might happen before
I get in that jail.” He seemed to think
the ptople would mob him, and be wished
to ba taken ever by tbe sheriff of that
oounty. He will be carried over in a few
daye. .

Convention op Fbbticizbis Manufac-
tubkes and Dealers.—Savannah iiforn-
ing New. Tbero is, we understand, to
be a convention of the fertilizer manu
facturers' and general agents for the cot
ton States, at Augusta, on the 13th in
stant, to devise some means to pat the
oasines3 on a sounder basis. This in
dustry has now become one of the most
important in tho couutrj; it has suffered
enormous losses by the deoline in cotton,
and is in a moat depressed condition.
Fertilizers m the cotton States are mostly
sold on what is known os the cotton op
tion; that is, a ton of fertilizers is sold
for so many dollars, but the planter can
disenarge the debt by paying so many
pounds of middling cotton, and as man
ufacturers based their prices expecting
to resi ze ten cent3 per ponnd for tho
cotton and have received abont seven and
a half cents, tbo hoped for profit has
been converted into a serious los3. We
learn the stock of some of tbe companies
has declined from forty to fifty cents on
the dollar.
The proposed convention originated with
the merchants of Augusta dealing in fer
tilizers, and an invitation has been eent
to the trade of the two Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama, whioh are the States using

“Because their crops do not pay,
Prices for farm products are so low that

poverty.”
“What makes provisions so low.”
‘•The splendid crops made on this side.
The faot is, tbe United States, having no

is making more provisions then the whole

and Glasgow—olearaides, dry-salted—for
5 jo. Now, how oan the English farmer
t-tand this ? He pays rental on land worth
$200 to $300 an rwc. Tho lowest farm
lands rent for $10 an aore per annum.
The average yield of wheat is thirteen
bushels to tho aore, worth—say $13. Now,

“What remedy do they propose for the

“They have no remedy. They are be

be only exacting the odious corn laws

“They will end in a dreadful deprecia

New York Special to the Cincinnati ffnquirer.l
Yesterday I had a long talk with Mr.
Armonr, of Armour, Plsukington & Co.,
the hrgeet perk and provision dealers in
the United States. Mr. Amour hae just
returned from E 'gland, nnd he is filled
with alarm at the distressing financial

In the Senate, yesterday, drew like a
honse a fire. Tbat muoh ruey be'truth
fully said, though after the extensive ad
vertising the performance had enjoyed at
the pens of tbe newspaper men, with
whom Jim is very solid, that faot was
not at all extraordinary. I never saw a
lamer aodienpe ip that chamber, an^ „ a
effort of anybody’s life, and got drunk
last night to emphasize that verdtot.
When Blaine closed, God’s people in the
galleries applauded lustily, which
Mr. Wheeler evidsntly did not
bear. When applause a great ds«i
hearier greeted Messrs. Thurman and
Lamar Wheeler snaeped ont tbat a re
petition of the offense wonld cause the
galleries to ba cleared, which shows what
a small sized partisan is drawing Mr.
Hendricks* salary. Of the speeches of
Messrs. Lamar and Thnrman I cannot
speak in terms of praise strong enough to
convey a fit idea of their strength and el
oquence. They completely swept Blaine
off his feet. A more complete triumph
was never won is tbat or any other cham
ber. Mr. Thnrman was especially power
ful, and one conld almost seeBlaine with
er and shrink in hi3 scat as La-nar’s fer
vid eloquence poured like a torrent on bis

his vindication of the South was
triumphantly complete.
Thurman ia one ot tho strongest men
in or ont of the Senate, and what Lamar
is, the South and country knows by
heart. I haven’t felt eo lifted up as it
were, bo fall of the wine of pride and sat
isfaelion in many a day sb when the fight
was over, and the field showed itself
glowing with the flash of victory.
I half hoped Mr. H;ll would tackle
Blaine, bnt really when Lamar and Thur
man let him go there was hardly enough
of him left to bit. Tho debate will per
haps bo resumed hereafter, but promisee
to be languid. There is really ’nothing
more to be said, at least by way of reply
to Blaine.
the “down tbodden”
raco for whom Blaine made his appeal
didn’t show in such force m the gallaries
as usual. They seem, at least, in this
city, to have other and more congenial
business just now. I quote from the Star
ot yesterday afternoon, which 6ays:
A LADY ASSAULTED AND BOBBED BY A

Yesterday, about noou as Mrs.
Sarah C. Davis, who resides on Sev

was accosted by a Urge negro, who seized
her by the shoulder and clutched her
dress, tearing part of it completely off.
Not finding anything in the pocket he
raised his fist to strike her, when she
raised her hand with her pocket book in
it, which he seized, and then after stri
king her several times, gave her a violent
kick in tho side, knocking her over the
embankment, where she laid insensible
for some time. After she was dicovered
ehe was removed to her home and Dr.
H. E Leach summoned, who made an
examination and fonnd her badly braised

qaite rapidly. So far, four of ihe appro
priation bills havo been pas3ed by that
body, and at least two more stand a fair
chance of going through before the holi

mean business, and are attending strictly
to ir. The Radicals will have all the
glory of blocking it by sectional issues
and partisan squabbling. They are in
the devil’s own humor because the Demo

an uglier humor I never saw. It is pec
fectly delicious to watoh them. Hale 1b

day pnt himself on record against the

the day after. But he may be “playing
possum.’’ He has never yet failed to
come into line when the party bugle
sounded.
The House has just voted to adjourn
from the 21st instant to the 6th ot Janu
ary for the usual holidays, and the Sen
ate will likely agree thereto. A great
deal of bnsiness is likely to be doni next

floor that Senators had Borne difficulty in
moving abont. The galleries wera packed
as eatly as half-past 10 o’clock, and a
sprinkling of diplomats dnoks, along with
Secretary Evarts and seme of his family,
made a respeotable show in that generally
tenantles3 domain—tbe diplomatic gal
lery. On the floor of the Senate, women
wero seen liberally scattered among the
men, and ?qaally eager in pushing and
orowdiDg-to the front. From the out
ermost row of sokts back to ths well
there was eoaroely standing room, and np
stairs.men and women not only filled the
seats, bnt occupied tbo aisles as well,
thus transgressing a strict rule, and
making tho doorkeepers peril their souls
by inward blasphemy. I noticed several
men sitting on the floor in the Senate
chamber, and among those standing np
wera a great throng of members of the
House. Altogether, it was a bravo show
for Jim, and if he could only have
charged admission the net caeh result
wonld have been very satisfactory. Nearly
every Senator waa in his seat, and all
payed the debs to tbe honor of listening
closely. Stay, there was one notable ex
ception—the noble Conkling—who sat
and wrote in a letter book through the
entire performance. I didn’t see him
raise ht3 head tbe whole time, except
onoe or twice, to clap his hands for a
page or speak to hi3 private secretary.
Of course all this made him noticeable,
which waa very sweet to bis soul; for he
is vainer than a peaeook’ or a gitl with
her first trail to her frock.
I suppose the press telegrams gave yon
some notion of Blaine’s performance. He
half retd, balf spoke it, in a fall, firm
voiM, and with great deliberation and
emphasis, evidently holding himself in,
or rather seeming to do so, snd as if
wishing to oanvey the ides that he was
very “karm,” and meant to keep so. It
was not snoh a vigorous flipping of the
B. S.as outsiders expeotedf but was fall
enough of the devil of seolional hatred
and abase. I judge it to have been most
carefnliy prepared, and also that Blaine
evidently thought he had been remarka
bly mild. It stinok me oa a ftilurr; bnt
lots of patriots swear it wes tbe grards t
very soiin reasons for the coedition he
deBcribeF; and, tbo general efitirso cf
events, as chronicled from day to
day, justify grave apprehensions for the
future.
The landed and agricultural interest
of Great Britain cannot sustain the free
competition of American produce, and a
sweeping readjustment of some kind is
inevitable. Bnt the landed and agrionl
tnral interest forms the basis of the
whole industrial and financial fabric of
every civilized nation. Itoannot be diz-
turbed without a more or lesB thorough
disarrangement or demolition of the en
tire superstructure.
With American produce in all her mar
kets at prices less than half the cost of
production at home—one of the two grand
alternatives Mr. Armour points out seems
unavoidable—a corresponding redaction
of valuations and rents, or the imposition
of a heavy import tax. The one will be
almost fatal to tbe landed interest, aud
the other to the manfaotoring interest
In either ease great disturtances in trail*
must ensue in a country whioh famishes
the grand market fox American produce
of nearly all descriptions. — - - v. •
■What is likely to be the result upon
American trade and finances may well at
tract speculation and conjecture, partic
ularly in view of the faot that, in a fort
night from this time, reeamption of spe
cie payments in America is, by law, ap
pointed to take place. It is an ugly rock
ahead of this great financial experiment,
and threatens its success. A country so
heavily indebted as ours is, is in a bad
plight for specie paying, it the gnat
financial centres of the world are joafc en
