Richmond, March 25.—Information
was received last nigbt that John H. Mose-
ley, a highly Tespected citizen of Char
lotte comity, was shot and instantly killed
Monday nielit, by Andrew J. CasSidy. It
is stated that Cassidy mistook Mosely for
a negro with whom he had a difficulty.
Galveston, March 25.—A A eics spe
cial from Austin says the signs warrant
the conclusion that the Republicans will
not make a State ticket. The leaders may
prevent instructions for Grant, but it will
be a difficult task.
Dr. H. W. Harrington was fatally shot
at Winnsboro, by an unknown man.
Louisville, March 25.—In the Senate
yesterdav, the whipping post bill, which
passed the House sometime ago, was laid
on the table and virtually defeated.
Washington’, March 25.—In the Sen
ate Mr. Edmunds moved that when the
Senate adjourn to-day, It be to meet Mon
day next, to-morrow being Friday.
Mr. Davis, of West Virginia—'There is
a good deal of business before the Senate,
and unless there is some special reason, I
object.
Mr. White—He gave the reason; to
morrow is Good Friday.
Mr. Davis—I did not hear that.
Mr. Kernan—We adjourn over a day in
honor of great men of our time. Let us
do as much to honor the day which the
Christian world commemorates as that of
the death of our Saviour.
Mr. Davis—I withdraw my objection.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, intro
duced a joint resolution providing for a
Commission to consider and report what
legislation is needed for the better regula
tion of commerce among the States. Said
Commission to consist of three Senators,
to be appointed by the President of the
Senate; three members of the House, to
be appointed by the Speaker, and three
Commissioners to be appointed by the Pres
ident, who shall sit during the recess and
inquire generally into the conditions that
will most favorably affect the transporta
tion of commerce among the States, car
ried by land and water routes; securing
thereby to the people the required facili
ties at the lowest rates; giving at least cer
tainty and economy in time, and that will
prevent unjust discriminations, and to re
port their recommendations to the next
Congress.
In the House, after prayer, the Speaker
rday submitted the
stated he had yesterday
question to the House whether Tuesday’s
journal should be read before Monday’s
journal bad been approved, ne thought
tbat it would be just and equitable to
submit a similar question to the House
relative to the reading of Wednesday’s jour
nal.
Mr. Fernando Wood said that during
his experience in this House, he had seen
the House many times Involved in diffi
culties similar to the present one, and in
each case the struggle had been amicably
adjusted. In view of the past two days,
he thought the time had arrived when the
members, as sensible men, desirous of
continuing their legislative labors, should
pause and come to some amicdble adjust
ment. Upon this question he had a po
sition not entirely in sympathy with
either side of the House. He hoped, how
ever, that both sides would agree to the
proposition which lie wished to make,
namely: That the journals of Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday should be ap
proved, and that immediately thereafter,
without debate, the House should vote on
the following resolution:
Resulted, That the committee on re
vision of laws be discharged from further
consideration of the bill, and that it be re
ferred to tlie committee on ways and
means.
Mr. Blackburn inquired whether the
position carried witli it the right to call for
a division of the proposition.
Mr. Wood replied that there were two
distinct propositions, but he hoped the
gentleman from Kentucky would not em
barrass the matter by calling for a divis
ion of the proposition.
Mr. Blackburn replied that ho had no
"desire to embarrass the proposition,or de
lay the work of the House. The only
point for which he had struggled was to
protect the integrity of the journal. If
that was secured he liau no further fight
to make. He thought that the proposi
tion of the gentleman from New York was
entirely fair and he was content with it.
Mr. Townsheml thought Mr. Wood’s
proposition was a good one.
Washington, March 25.—The Vice
President laid before the Senate a com
munication from the Secretary of War
recommending an appropriation for the
support of the Western surveys. Re
ferred.
Mr. Withers, from the Committee on
Pensions, reported the Sixty Surgeons
Bill. Placed on the calendar.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, from the Com
mittee on Public Lands, reported, with
amendments, a bill for the relief of Mor
gan’s Louisiana and Texas Railroad and
Steamship Company. Placed on the cal
endar.
Mr. Vest, from the Committee on Pub
lic Buildings and Grounds, reported favor
ably on the bill for the erection of a pub
lic building at Asheville, North Carolina.
Placed on the calendar.
The Senate then proceeded to consider
the calendar bill to incorporate the Nation
al Educational Association which passed,
as was also a number of bills of local and
private interest.
The Senate then went into executive
session, and when the doors were re
opened, adjourned until Monday.
In the House, after considerable dis
cussion, Monday’s journal was approved,
and Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s journal
was read and approved. Further debate
ensued as to discharging the Committee
on the Revision of the Laws from further
consideration of the Townshend bill, re
sulting in a vote of 142 to 100 in favor ot
such discharge. The question recurred
on referring the bill to the Committee on
Ways and Means, and it was agreed to,
yeas 142, nays 89. The preamble was
then agreed to, yeas 138, nays 82, and the
Speaker declared that the bill was now in
possession of the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Adjourned till to-morrow.

London, March 25.—A dispatch from
Dublin to the Times says Charles Parnell
and Joseph G. Biggar have decided that
conjointly with Mr. John O’Connor
Power there shall be run in the county
Mayo, one of the prisoners recently sen
tenced at Castlebar Assizes to a term of
imprisonment for assaulting process serv

Paris, March 25.—The semi-official
newspaper, Paix, says the fact that Prince
OrlolT left Pans without taking leave of
President Grevy and Premier DeFrtycind,
shows that he is to be only temporarily
absent.
London, March 25.—The Times this
morninm in a leading editorial on pro
rogation deprecated the unqualified cen
sures of the Liberal leaders upon the dead
Parliament, and says, “Lord Harrington
contemplates without regret, wliat he con
siders the undignified end of the assem
bly, in which he played a considerable
part. Mr. Gladstone has been still more
contemptuous. It does not appear to oc
cur either to him or Mr. John Bright that
any contempt cast on the late Parliament
or on a majority in the House of Com
mons must necessarily be transferred to
the electors by whom the members of tbat
House were returned. The Parliament
oflS74had to pass through a violent
storm and go to the countiy through great
danger, and it has left it in peace and
amid returning prosperity. This is no un
satisfactory epitaph.
Washington, March 25.—The Senate
committee on Patents to-day decided to
report adversely on the proposed extension
of the Cook patent on sugar evaporators
owned by the Blymer Manufacturing Co.,
of Cincinnati. The committee’s adverse
action is based upon a remarkably large
number of protests against the extension
from the producers of all kinds of sugar,
from Minnesota to Texas.
Secretary Thompson has ordered the

of the Free Press, and two or three other
journals, the newspapers of theState,also,
have generally been reticent on the sub
ject, and seem content to abide the action
of the people in their primary gatherings
before the Convention, which is yet to be
called, shall assemble. It is the Indepen
dents, whose only hope is to stir up dis
sensions in the ranks of the “regulars,”
tbat are agitating this matter. Just now
their batteries are leveled against General
Gordon, because of his opposition to Sim
mons’ confirmation. Nor have they any
particular admiration for Governor Col
quitt. Well, if direct antagonism with
the tme blue, iron-ribbed Democracy is
what they seek, no better method could
have been devised to attain that object.
Perhaps it is best for them thus in ad
vance to come out in their true colors, that
the people may know what to expect at
their bands during the canvass. But
if not too late, we would earnestly invoke
our brethren of the Seventh and Ninth
districts, to pause, ere they permit the local
questions of their immediate section to
jeopardize the unity and success of the
only party that can conserve the liber
ties of the country. What better machin
ery can be devised for reaching the ear
and hearts of the people than National
and State conventions, when composed of
delegates elected or appointed by the
masses of the party at the ballot box, or
in primary assembly? How else can the
popular voice be made known in the se
lection of candidates? If the taste for
office, engendered by the success of
Messrs. Felton and Speer, however, can
not he appeased, and General Wofford, or
some other Independent, is to be placed
semblance in the two countries, the ac
tual surroundings of each are so totally
different that no just parallel can be insti
tuted. Still, why not pity and strive to
relieve, not only the unfortunates of Erin,
but the destitute of our own land. They
both appeal alike to the sympathies of the
philanthropist and Christian.

Galveston, Texas, March 25’.—At

siderations should sink out of sight, and
every patriot join hands for the public
weal. Cheerful acquiescence in all nom

should be the shibboleth of the Democra
cy in the ensuing State and national cam
paigns. Without this spirit of self-abne

Happy Wisconsin.
To ameliorate the sufferings of the wo
men who have so long suffered for suffrage
Wisconsin legislatively has decided that
they are entitled to it. But, says the Bos
ton Herald, the male element has put its
stamp upon the law, seemingly the out
come of a new sense of justice and gen
erosity.- This stamp is its condition,
which after all, makes the woman’s vote
depend upon the sovereign will of man.
The married woman only is eligible to the
new privilege. It is, of course, unde
niable, that those women are the
most intelligent who have basked
in the enligetening influence of male
companionship. Wo don’t see any way
for the maiden women of Wisconsin, if
they are absolutelyset against matrimony,
than to look at this pointed reflection
upon their competency and condition as
capable of another interpretation. For
instance, that their married sisters de
serve some compensation to smooth the
thorny ways of their life. Meanwhile,
the triumphant recipients of the ballot
must hold it until the State constitution
has been amended so that it will be
available. Now that Wisconsin has taken
this step, we see no reason why women
who want their “rights” should be un
happy. Let them “go West” and settle
in Wisconsin’s happy valleys.
Brunswick Calm and Hopefnl. -

We saw yesterday in a neighbor’s gar
den a tomato plant, near two feet in
height, which had been grown in the open
air without any protection whatever. The
age of this specimen must be two months
at least, which would cover what is ordi
narily the severest period of the winter.
When we reflect that the tomato is per
haps the most tender of all garden vege
tables, no stronger evidence of the
ceeding mildness of the temperature for
several months past, could be adduced.
Just now, sharp northerly winds and
keen atmosphere are highly suggestive of
frost. But the ground is so wet and
warm that the vaporization, which must
ensue, will, we trust, counteract the ef
fects of the cold. We admonish garden
ers, however, to have their planks * and
straw at hand, as it is by' no means cer
tain that Jack Frost will not put in an ap
pearance even late in April.
The moon fills to-night, (March 25tb,)
hut in the opinion of the writer, her se
rene Majesty has no more to do with the
weather, than the vane on the pinnacle of
the “palace of justice.” This fact has
been established by carefully kept notes
in the French Academy of Arts and
Sciences reaching through a period'of forty
years.lt is also the opinion of that learned
Savan, Professor Charles F. McCay, for
merly of the University of Georgia. The
Professor had made a record of his own
also embracing more than ten years,
which fully corrohrated the French re
port. During that period, the variations
in temperature and other phenomena
usually ascribed to the moon’s agency,
were found to happen about as often after
as on the change, with a slight predomi
nance in favor ofthe former.
A Doubtful Compliment,
After the conclusion of Dr. Felton’s
speech last Saturday on the funding bill,
Mr. Frye, one ofthe chieftest ofthe Radi
cal apostles, said:
I.congratulate the gentleman from Geor
gia that he is almostthough not altogether
a hard money man. I congratulate him,
too, that he is almost persuaded to be a
Republican, although not quite.
That shot struck the bull’s eye.
YouthM Veneration.
Ot General Grant, as a boy, General
Brisbin relates, that ha' once thrashed a
Brunswick railroad, and the alliance of, big cousin from Canada tor speaking dis-

and Atlantic lines, and the extension of j young Ulysses not only thrashed him, but
the Georgia Western railroad to Decatur obliged him to promise that he would
or some other point on the Louisville and
Nashville lines, and the Georgia VVestern,
which will be used to connect the Mem
phis and Brunswick system, gives to
Brunswick such importance as to make
her what her natural advantages claim for j youthful veneration for the “Father of his
her—one of the grandest outlets for our ; Country,” but instead he has violated
Western trade, and a seaport second to
never again mention Washington save
with profound respect.—Fit.
It is a great misfortune to the country
that General Grant has not retained his
none on the South Atlantic coast.
Brunswick waits with impatience and
fortitude her future. Natural results can
not be undone; unnatural ones may suc
cumb. We use no tootiug-borns nor
grandiloquence in expression.
In this connection we would remark,
that our contemporary, Colonel C. W.
Styles, and Mr. Dunn, the representatives
of Brunswick at the Cincinnati jubilation,
eveiy precept and trampled upon every
principle that was the pride and glory of
Washington. And ha now seeks a posi
tion as dictator which Washington graced
with the purest patriotism, and left with
the highest honor. It is time that his
Canada cousin was bringing him back to
first principles.

[Prolonged applause]. I am sure we will
all be happier and much more prosperous

After referring to his recent foreign ex
perience he continued:
“With the dense population and worn-
out soil of European countries it takes a
great deal of government to enable the
people to get from the soil a bare subsist
ence. Here we have rich virgin soil and
room enough for its expansion and devel
opment with but very little government.
I hope that we may long be able to get
along without being too much governed.”
The reception was largely attended by
business men, and was given to General
Grant at the cotton exchange.

Toronto, Ont., March 25. — Hon.
George Brown, editor and- proprietor of

arrested.
Naming the Streets.
Some action should he taken by the
city authorities towards putting up tlie
names of the various streets in their proper
places. Macon is probably the only city
of its size in the United States that has
no conveniences of this description. Fame
is a good thing in Its way, but let us be
come famous for something more desira
ble than the absence of enterprise.
Ohio’s Spring Elections.—The New
York Herald says' Ohio is to have the
luxury of two elections this year—the
great contest for the Presidency in the
fall, in which .the whole country, but
mainly Ohio, is interested, and the elec
tion for City and township officers, which
take place the first week of next month.
The latter do not seem to he attracting
much attention, except possibly among the
politicians, and their chief interest in the
matter arises from the fact that some of
the officers to be elected will do the count-’
ing for the Presidential candidates next
November. When it is remembered that
in several of the States in recent years
the gentlemen who did the counting were
infinitely bigger men than those who did
tlie voting the importance ot the coming
struggle in Ohio will be readily perceived.
As an evidence of tlie probable decision
in November little or no significance will
attach to it. Ohio’s full vote is rarely
polled, except when the fate of the ior-
eign Ministere, the consuls and tlie federal
machine at Washington, which is for the
most part run by Ohio patriots, is invol
ved.
cannot see.
Eviction is an every day occurrence
here and it is so elsewhere throughout the
civilized world, for there is no place in it
where any man can live without paying
rent, unless he owns the property. In
the case mentioned, the tenants were al
lowed to keep all their belongings; here
they are not only evicted but sold. There
they had been allowed to live long on the
premises; here eviction takes place every
thirty days or once a week if necessary,
and is such a common occurrence that no
constable thinks of carrying a posse to
help him as in Ireland.
Lands are cheap in Georgia, and even
negroes can own homes, but they must
buy them, for land ' is not owned either
here or there by paupers.
Free America will do to talk about, but
as in all other places the man is free here
to starve if he fails, by honest exertion, to
keep the wolf from his door.
If the conduct of the Irish land lord was
“brutal,” there are plenty more of the
same sort even in Macon, but as they
"don’t build houses lor charity, nothing
better is expected of them; but in Ireland,
it seems, the man that invests his money
in houses and lands is expected to support
the whole pauper population!
Justice.
REMARKS.
The parallel drawn by our correspond
ent between “eviction” in County Meath,
Ireland, and Bibb county, Georgia, though
apparently correct in a legal sense, is yet
very far from the truth in actuLl prac
tice.
In the first place, in Ireland the hold
ings ofthe tenants sometimes extend from
generation to generation, and the little
piece of “bog” or stony ground that is
leased constitutes the only home of the
occupants for long years. The system, in
fact, is the worst form of serfdom, for the
owner is always from pecuniary consider
ations, if no other, regardful of the physi
cal comfort of his slaves. Not so, how
ever, where the connection is simply one
of dollars and cents. Then, every thought
is ignored save that of self-interest, and the
merciless landlord cries aloud, like Shy-
lock, for his “pound of flesh.”
2. There is no comparison whatever
between the rent of an American rural
cottage and the price charged the poor
Irish for the meagre five acres, or mayhap
half acre, from which they must eke out a
precarious subsistence. The rent for a
single year in the latter instance, would
suffice to buy outright, and in fee simple,
tbc same amount of land in America.
3. The landlords in Ireland are, for
the most part, extravagant spendthrifts
who reside in affluence abroad, and be
stow not a thought upon their suffering
tenantry at home. The poor creatures
are remanded to the tender mercies of
some heartless steward who is only care
ful to keep on the good side of his lord, by
supplying his reckless demands for money
at any cost to the tenant.
Per contra, in this country we can re
call but few instances where a tenant is
ejected who tenders a partial payment of
his rent, and evinces an honest desire and
intention to settle the whole as soon as
possible. It is only in cases of fraud or
personal malice that eviction is resorted to
as a dernier, and so great is the opprobium
attending any such act ef harshness, that
not many men are disposed to incur it for
the sake of a few dollars. Moreover in.
crowded and wretched Ireland there is
nothing but starvation before tlie evicted
tenant who may have labored day in and
day out in his patch, but to see the fruits
of his exertions snatched from his grasp
by the dreaded potato rot, or mayhap tlie
protracted illness of himself or family.

Referred to the Committee on Oceanic
Canal by yeas 84; nays 71,
Mr. Young, of Tennessee, Offered tlie
following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Congress that political complications and
conflicts of National interest and jurisdic
tion likely to grow out of the construction
of a canal across the Isthmus which con
nects the continents of North and South
America are of so dangerous a character
as to greatly outweigh any advantage like
ly to result from such connection to the
republics of North or South America or
nations of Europe, and the interest of the
people of the United States does not re
quire any such work, and therefore it is
the duty of this government to discourage
an undertaking so"-muck calculated to
disturb our peaceful relations with other
governments, and fraught with so much
peril to our future safety and well being.
Resolved, Tbat the President of the
United States be requested, through onr
diplomatic agents, to confer with the gov
ernments of our sister Republics of South
America upon an American policy in re
gard to matters likely to bring us and
them In conflict with European powers,
and that he be authorized to call an inter
national convention of representatives
from the Governments and the Republics
of South America, to take in considera
tion a policy and measures which should
be adopted for mutual safety and protec
tion against any political influence which
the governments of Europe may in any
manner attempt to exercise in the affairs
ofthe American Governments.
Payne, of Pennsylvania, also intro
duced the following:
~Resolved, etc., That the project now at
tracting general attention, Ofthe construc
tion of an inter-oceanic canal at Panama,
Nicaragua, og some other suitable point
at the Isthmus, with priyate capital, and
for commercial purposes only, is worthy
of high commendation, and if any such
project has any rival or rivals which
threaten a raid upon the Treasury of the
United States in the interest of jobbers,
neither the prosecution of tlie so-called
Monroe doctrine nor any other false. ap
peal to the patrotic sentiment of the peo
ple ofthe United States shall prevent ap
probation of the former or condemnation
of the latter.
Resolved, That the United States, rec
ognizing the obligations of international
law in its transactions with the weakest
as well as the strongest nations of the
world, fearing none and desiring to do
right to all, and having peaceful relations
with all, which it sincerely desires to main
tain, deprecates and denounces any meas
ure or scheme calculated to infringe upon
or jlisturb suet conditions: while it will
jealously guard its rights and interests, it
will regard its treaty-making power as en
tirely adsquate to secure these ends until
some failure shows the contrary.
Resolved, That if, in the opinion of the
President, it shall bo necessary to take
any steps to thoroughly ascertain and
protect the rights and interests of the
United States in regard to the proposed
canal, he is requested to negotiate such
treaties as are necessary to effect this pur
pose. Referred to Committee on For
eign Affairs.
It may be safely affirmed. that at least
for the present session, M. Lesseps and
his majestic scheme for an inter-oceanic
canal, and all other projects of a like na
ture will be laid over, and perhaps event
ually consigned to the tomb of the Capu-
lets.

The Piano Makers’Strike.
A special telegram from New York an
nounces that the piano makers’ lockout or
strike has virtually ended and the factories
will all be in operation again. This has
been occomplished not by any alteration
in wages, but by an agreement to permit
the proprietors to manage their own busi
ness as follows:
“We hereby agree that we will not com
bine against any man in this shop, on the
ground tbat he is a union or non-union
man; that we will not hinder or interfere
with any respectable man in good stand
ing from pursuing his work in. this shop;
that we will net, by force or otherwise,
intimidate any man or boy now employed
from filling liis present position; that we
are not now and will not be, controlled by
any union what ever with regard to the af
fairs of this shop in the future, being fully
competent and able to adjust our own af
fairs, and Will not interfere in regard to
apprentices; that we do not desire or wish
the trade of piano making to be driven
from tbis city; tbat we are satisfied with
the wages paid us at present, having con
fidence in our employers to do what is
right in the future; that we wish to have
the same good feeling and harmony pre
vail between the men and bosses as here
tofore, and that we will keep good faith
with our employers just as long as they do
the same by us.”
That seems to he a sound and rational
agreement—in fact, the only one compati
ble with a safe and healthful business for
all parties - .
Negro Education in Georgia.
The New York Herald gathers from a
correspondent of the Worcester (Mass.,)
Spy some interesting facts and statistics
in regard to the educational facilities of
the colored people in this State, and read
ily concludes, and rightly too, that Geor
gia is doing more for the elevation of the
negro race than any other State in the
Union. Then, with characteristic arro
gance, roundly abuses ns foe not doing
more. One point is a source cf untold
agony: that is, that the salaries of teach
ers in the negro schools in. Atlanta are not
as large as those of the teachers in
the white schools. The relations of po
sition is never taken into account. Wbr
does the Herald pay its managing editor
more salary than it does the over-worked
reporter? Both are doing the same kind
of work, and one is just as necessary in
getting out the Herald as the other. The
reasons simply because a dozen men are
capable of filling a reporter’s place, where
there is one that has capacity sufficient to
fill the position of managing editor.
The Herald claims that upward of ten
millions have been contributed by the
North for the edneation of the negro since
the war, and pathetically announces that,
if this entetprise is continued, the North
will have to hear her part of the burden
for years to come. And why not? Is
not the North as much interested in the
elevation and edneation of the colored
people as the South? Their location in
the South is a mere accident, for which
they are not responsible. If the North
Can any more'economieally educate them
by opening their institutions to them, the
negroes would gladly avail themselves of
the opportunity. Genuine philanthropy
would never quibble over contributions
to such a cause.
Oleomargarine Manufacture.
The artificial butter manufacturers are
now contesting for position in legitimate
trade. The reader will remember that in
the late fair of dairy products in New
York city the artificial butter manufac
turers succeeded in puzzling experts.in
distinguishing “t’other from which.”
They showed oleomargarine alongside of
the best dairy butter, which experts failed
to identify by either appearance, flavor or
smell, and they boldly insisted that their
artificial butter was as much butter as that
which came from the dairy—as cleanly—
as wholesome—as toothful, though affor
ded at half price. These pretensions be
ing set up, something anent the process
of this manufacture may be of interest.
A number of Congressmen, representing
important standing committees, visited
the American Manufacturing Company’s
establishment in Baltimore a few days
ago, and inspected the process as follows:
Beginning with an apartment where
the “caul-fat” of beeves is received and
cleansed of impurities, the visitors follow
ed it to an upper story, where it is cut
into small particles by machinery, and
subjected to a heat of 120 degrees, render
ing it into a liquid. This liquid is con
veyed through pipes into vats located in
tl« story beneath, where it is allowed to
cool, and when it attains a certain con
sistency it is placed in canvas sacks and
submitted to hydraulic pressure, in layers.
The oil extracted is of a rich straw color
and tasteless. The residuum—stearine
in commerce—is - sold to candle-makers
and others. --
Heavy Advance in Opium.
In consequence of the reported partial
failure of the poppy crop in the East, tlie
price of' opium has mounted up from
$5.25 to $6.75 per pound in New York
within tlie past fortnight. We cannot say
that, this is any subject for regret. On the
contrary, if it will be the means of plac
ing it beyond the readiof a solitary victim
of this deadly drug, that much good will
have been accomplished. For medicinal
purposes, hut a small modicum of the
opium of commerce is needed. It is never
administered save in attenuated doses to
the sick. But the consumption by those
who eat and smoke this infatuating gum,
simply enormous. • And yet,
better would it be for the hapless
votaries to the habit if they
became the disciples of Bacchus, and im
bibed beer, rum, whisky and-brandy to
their hearts’ content. Both should be
alike avoided. But the opium eater loses
mind, moral sense and physical ability at
one and the same time. Moreover, his
nerves are utterly unstrung, and he be
comes a terrible, living wreck. No sad
der spectacle on earth can be presented
than the death-bed * of an opium eater.
Happily, effective cures have been discov
ered for the malady, (for into that shape
the habit resolTes itself,) and the snfferer
may find relief if he has the nerve to seek
it. With these facts before us, however,
who will mourn that opium is becoming
dear? If the tariff could only be confined
in its operations to such articles, “protec
tion” would lose half of its terrors to the
people.
TEE QUEEN CITY.
The oil is transferred to another apart
ment, in which is a large cylinder churn,
the dasher or paddles being run by ma-
part oTpuremffk'LrJ'iiMV '^introduced ope
when the liquids have been agitatejpl
specified time the mixture is drawn po
tato vats half filled wiih ice. -. ®
While it is flowing into these vats, men
stand by with forks, resembling hay-forks,
mixing the fluid and ice uuring a cooling
process which takes place. When a vat
is filled it is wheeled to another portion of
the room and the mass is transferred to
tables and manipulated to free it from par
ticles of ice and permit the water-and
milk to drain off. From thise tables it is
passed to "another, where it is more thor
oughly “worked” by machinery, and
where a quantity of salt is added to each
batch. All that remains to be done is to
send the butter through feeders into a
room below, where it is packed for ship
ment.
Sixty hands are employed in the fac
tory. The committees seemed interested
in the process, and appeared anxious to
acquaint themselves, as far as possible,
with all facts pertaining tp the business.
It was stated that there is little doubt that
Iaige quantity of artificial butter finds
its way into markets and is sold as a prod
uct of the dairy.
Six millions of pounds of this butter are
said to be exported monthly to Europe,
where there is no no law a present against
its sale as butter, while, in our markets,
it must be sold as oleomargarine.
Mr. Townshend’s Tariff Coup d’etat.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, denies that
he surreptitiously introduced the bill for
the repeal ofthe duty on paper, type and
chemicals into the House, as the title
clearly showed that it was to revise and to
amend “title thirty-three of the Revised
Statutes,” and claims that its reference to
the Committee on the Revision of Laws
was correct. In any event we cannot sec
the propriety or justice of permitting a
committee like that of Ways and Means,
majority of whose members arc hostile
to all tariff reductions, to ignore the sen
timent ofthe House and nation by incon
tinently retiring every bill before Con
gress which looks to the relief of the peo
ple from class legislation. Surely there
ought to be some way to prerent this
pigeon holing of importantmeasures in the
committee room of a few members who,
for ought we know, may be interested
parties.
In the present instance the demand upon
Congress has been singularly unanimous
in all sections of the Union, to abate tlie
iniquitous tax imposed upon papers and
printing material, which bears directly
upon the intelligence and progress of the
countiy. With a few other exceptions of
articles on the list, tlie tariff bill has been
tacitly allowed to go over under the rul
ing of the Committee on Ways and
Means. Now that the portion of the bill
referred tohas been successfully resurrect
ed through the address of Mr. Townshend,
and is at length squarely before the House
on its merits, we trust the people’s repre
sentatives will lose no time in passing it
by a majority befitting its importance.

Some of the Points of Interest.
Cincinnati, Ohio,
March 22,1880.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
A week might be pleasantly and profitably
spent in Cincinnati, especially if one is
under the cliaige of those princely enter
tainers, the mcrchanst and public spirited
citizens of the place.
The city in the business portion is very
compactly and beautifully bnilt. Scarcely
a vacant lot is to bo seen, and the signs
“for rent” are very few a’nd far between.
There is en air of thrift and prosperity,
and the street corners in the business por
tion of the city are almost destitute of
loafers. One thing which surprises
the visitor are the lofty Jiills which rise
back ofthe business portion. These are
scaled by means of what are here termed
inclined planes. The cars are dragged up
the side ofthe hills on rails laid at an angle
of 45 degrees, and even steeper angles, by
means of triple wire cables, the whole
worked by powerful steam engines, locat
ed on the summit of the hills. The dis
tance up some of them is fifteen hundred
feet. The trip up or down lias about it
the appearance of considerable peril. But
two accidents have been known to occur
on the five planes which are in the city,
and in neither were there any casualties.
On the summit, connections are made
with other lines of street cars which fret
work the streets of the city. But the
great attractions of the upper end of the
inclined planes are several concert and
dancing platforms anil halls and beer sa
loons. Thes" are favorite resorts, hut
particularly so in summer.' On-account-
of the lofty height the air is much cooler
thau in the plains - below, and out of the
dust and smoke of the city, all classes re
pair to enjoy their evenings. Of courso
the places vary ni respectaoility.
Among these places are Prize’s, Belle-
view, Lookout and the Highland House.
The views from these summits are grand.

the centre stands out in bold relief,
the left the Louisville Short Line bridge
spans tho nver. The Cincinnati South
ern’s structure is hidden from view. On
the far right is Mill Creek Yalley, while
in sight are no less than six or seven dis
tinct corporations. No one has properly
“done” the city until he has viewed it
from several of these heights.
Leaving them to the south, the most
beautiful suburb in the world,Clift on is to
be found. There are no stores in Clifton;-
t he residences are princely m their pro
portions; the lawns, groves, lakelets, skat
ing ponds, all are beautiful. It is the
home of tlie wealthy, and none but the
rich can afford to live here. Among the
prominent residences several are note
worthy. That of Hon. George H. Pen
dleton is situated on a beautiful eminence
and is one of the most elegant in the land.
He also has a city house. The Scboon-
berger residence, which cost $300,000, was
the place where the Prince of Wales
stopped while in this country, and pro
nounced it the finest American
house he .had seen. On the
same range of hills, suiyounded by
all that wealth can add to fancy’s wish, is
the Probasco mansion. Here a special re
ception was given the excursionists by the
hospitable proprietor.
Column after column could be filled
about Cincinnati’s beauties. Eden Park,
Mount Auburn, Walnut hills; the water
works, the fountain, and other places of
interest, but we must forbear. The city
has, next-to Washington, the finest public
improvements I have ever seen. The city
is in debt some forty million dollars, but
her citizens declare she is not only able
to owe it but the full amount
will be paid when the time
for payment comes. No city to its pop»r
lation in this country consumes so much
beer. In the quarter of the city known
as “Over the Rhine,” every other shop is
a beer saloon. Many are open on Sunday
and that is a gala day with the foreign
element. Lately, however, Mayor Jacob
has been more strict, and some of the sa
loons have been forced to respect the
Sunday laws. In enforcing this law lie
lia3 injured not only his own popularity
but that of his party—the Republican—
with the German population, and it is
feared that if his efforts are not
relaxed, the Democrats will win the day
on this is?ue at the next city election.
Who knows but what this beer question
may not weigbthe balance in tha National
election. Cirdninti will, as is well
known.be the meeting place of the Na
tional Democratic Convention. This city
is certainly well provided for the accom
modation ofthe delegates, both in the way
of hall and hotels.
Speaking of hotels, it gives us pleasure
to commend the Gibson House as a first-
class hotel, and Mr. J. B. Kampe,tlie head
clerk as a thorough and accommodating
gentleman.
Through tlie courtesy of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroad, the excur

themselves of the opportunity afforded.
They leave Cincinnati with the kindest
feelings, and best good wishes for her pros
perity, and for tlie success of her pet and
grand cnteiprise, the Cincinnati Southern.
In my next I will conclude and put a
period to these rambling notes.
