The Santa ISarbaru IM‘. has the follow ing Item: Tile Democrats of Santa Barbara have unanimously nominated Mrs. Virginia F. Russell for County Super intendent of Schools. The lady is an associate editor with her husband on (lie dliator. In 1870 Georgia produced 173 pounds of ginnod cotton to the aero; 1871,120 pounds; In 1873, 183 pounds; and la 1874, 13(1 pounds. The highest average production last year was in South Carolina, 194 pounds. The production in Georgia last year was just about the average in the eleven oottoirStntos. The excess ot Importation for the llsenl'year just ended is $94,000,000; for 1873, It was $163,000,000; for 1874, $72,000,000. This difference lias to be made up by tho exportation of gold and silver, whatever balance then may bo remaining in tho form of debt. Ttiis is a ruinous state of af fairs. The Republican party has ut terly failed to solve the financial ques tion satisfactorily except to the bond holders and Credit Mobllierists. A native Japanese journalist who lias evidently travelled in Europe has published an article on woman's rights in his newspaper, in which he says that “from the practice of Euro peans, it would appear that the pow er of the wife is greater than that of the husband, and this error) lias been brought about by the want of correct views of tho dictates of nature. We will point out examples of this: In going through adoor tho wife passes first and the husband follows her; the wife takes tlie best, seat and the husband the next best; In visiting, the wife is first saluted; in forms of address, the wife is first mentioned. Moreover, while men are in the com pany of ladies they must bo particu lar In their conversation, and are not permitted to smoke without the la dies’ permission being first obtained. These and like customs arc innu merable, and the power of the wo men Is far greater then that of the men.” _ Tlie extraordinary decline in the prices of cotton goods has proceeded so far that it has enabled our manu facturers to court a trade that n few veers ago they would never have dreamed of. Prices ure so low, and the American demand for goods so slack, that it is found that some manu factures of cotton can actually be ship ped from this country to England for sale there.— Charleston Conner. An ex-rebel who hates stealing is infinitely better for present use in this country than any loyal thief that exists.—.V. r, Sun. The tlSNNftrrr sf the #4ttSoccnt*. Few subjects have inspired tho painters of Europe more than that indicated in the above caption. Many have essayed to perpetuate in glow* lug colors this crowning act of human ferocity. No event in tlm drama of French history is more interesting in the horror of its details than tho mas sacre of the Huguenots on tho eve of: St, Bartholomew. But none <>f these,' and do), even the murder of Ribuat and his Huguenot band In Florida by Menendoz, can excel in atrocious Cruelly and treachery the massacre of-ene hundred arid twenty men, wo men, and children, by Mormons at Mountain Meadows, Utah. The heart revolts at believing that such things can bo true. But true it is that tho greatest crimes are committed In tho guise of religion animated by a fa naticism unworthy tho century in which wo live. And no greater criti cism on the injustice of courts of jus tice is needed than the fact that this massacre lias been unavenged, and its perpetrators have been living in the high places of the Mormon Tab ernacle for eighteen years undis turbed by the law. The famous soli! oquy of Madame Roland, “Oh! jus tice, how many crimes are committed in thy name,” recursXo us with vivid force. In tho name of an outraged civilization let tho criminals now be ing tried suffer the severest penalty of the law. In its last analysis chari ty means severity, Rather than allow them to escape by the legal injustice of a favorable verdict from a Mormon jury, we can even wish that red handed justice shall prevail. He that lives by the sword should die by the sword. - The Mountain Meadow Massacre. The trial of John D. Lee in Beaver, Utah, for participation in the Moun tain Meadow massacre of 1837, prem ises to have one good result, if no other. Tho Judicial investigation will afford the people an opportunity to learn from authentic testimony the true history of that revolting outrage. The tragedy occurred at a time of great excitement in Utah. Brigham Young wa3 then Governor of the Territory, and likewise Superinten dent of Indian Affairs, having re ceived his appointment to those offi ces from President Fil more, though Alfred Cuming, with a commission in his pocket from President Buchanan, whs on his way to supercede him us Governor, accompanied by a military force of about three thousand men, under the command of Col. Albert Sidney Johnson, to enforce his claims. There hod been great turbu lence in Utah; numerous outrages ou emigrants by persons in the guise of Indians had been ascribed to the Mormons; and theOentilo Judges of tlie Federal courts had all left the Territory, which in fact was in a state J of rebellion. The question of armed resistance to the troops was seriously discussed, though subsequently tills Idea was abandoned. During the period of excitement, namely, in August, 1857, a large train of emigrants on their way t.o Califor nia reached Salt Lake City. It was the finest train tiiat had ever at tempted the overland route. Several elegant carriages were among the vehiclos, for tlie accommodation of ladles of the party, and there were many women ami children in the train. It is said that tho finest of those carriages was for years after wards used by a family of Mormons. After laying in their supplies in Salt Lake City, this party proceeded to wards California, and that win the last that was known of them for a long time. It, was fully a year before any of their friends received the least intimation of their fate. Throe hundred miles from Salt Lake, on tlie road to Los Angeles, California, is a meadow live miles in length by one iu breadth, with a very fine spring atone end, affording an excellent camping ground. Hero the emigrant party encamped in order to recruit their stock before entering upon what was then called-the Great Desert, and here, in tlie mouth of September, the massacre took place. Aeeordnig to tlie commonly accept ed story of tho slaughter, the emi grants were attacked while encamp ed by Indians, who had been set upon them by Alortnons, and by Mor mons disguised as Indians, and ten or twelve men were killed before any one understood that they were in danger. Tho remainder of the party at once seized their arms, intrenched themselves behind their wagons, and prepared fora determined resistance. For a week, with their women and children lying in the trenches they had dug, the emigrants maintained their position, ami kept their ene mies at bay. Then the Mormons re solved on strategy. The tiring by the Indians ceased, and the besieged party, looking up the meadow, saw a wagon full of while men eomitng towards them. These men proved to be John 1). Leo ami oilier Mormon dignitaries, who offered to mediate with the Indians. As the Mormon and Indians were known to be on good term*, the offer was gladly accepted, and after Lee and liis as sociates had conferred with tho nt aeking party of savages,it was agreed that thoeimgrants shouldsurrreuder their arms and other property, and return by tho road they came. Tlie Mormons ou their part promised to guard and protect the party until they should reach the settlements. Having given up their arms, the emigrants left their wagons and stock ami started northward on foot. The women and children were in front, the men followed, and in the rear was a guard of forty Mormons. Hardly had tilts sorrowful procession started on its way when a tire, was poured into them from an ambush, followed by an attack from tho Mor mons in tho rear, and in a few min utes one hundred men, women and children lay slaughtered upon the ground. Seventeen of the youngest children wore saved and adopted bv Mormon families, and it is said that three men esoaped immediate death. But one of these was afterward mur dered by the Indians, another starved to.death, and another was killed upon the Colorado, though by whom it is not known. The evidence produced In the pend ing trial all goes to show that, this account of tlie massacre is substan tially correct. Philip K. Smith, one of the defendants, who was a Mor mon bishop ut tho time of the mas sacre, appeared as State’s evidence, and gave a full description of the slaughter with all its horrible de tails, as well as an account of tho de liberations among the Mormon lead ers which preceded the butchery, in which, against his will as he says, he was forced to participate. The mas sacre was resolved upon bv Mormon bishops and councillors, Lee and \Y. H. Dame being among the most con spicuous in planning and executing the crime. The description which Smith gives of the slaughter fully confirms all that has heretofore been reported of its barbarous character. In 1869, Judge Cradlebaugh, a Fed eral judge appointed by Buchanan. attempted to bring tho perpetrators of this horrible crime to justice, but fuilod. It is doubted whether the present trial will result In tlie convic tion of Leo aud ills associates, since eight- of the injurs are .Mormons; while it Is samfimt somo of them ure near relatives of persons, who are deeply Implicated In tiie Inurders. : N. Y. Sun. THH PUKED OP I KEE TU ADE. IDO FOREIGNERS PAY A POKTION OP OPII TAXES ON IMROUTS V [f’OKTimiKK.J It is often asserted by the udvo cates of protection that a tariff on imports “obliges a foreigner to pay a part of our taxes.” To this it may be replied that if there were any plan or device by which one nation could thus throw off its burden of taxation in any degree upon another nation, it would long ago have been univer sally found out and recognized, aud would have been adopted by all iiu tious to at least the extent of malting the burden of taxation thus transfer red In all cases reciprocal. If the principle involved in the proposition in question, therefore, could possibly be true, no advantage whatever could accrue from its application. But tlie point itself involves an absurdity. Taxes on imports arc paid by the persons who consume them; and these are not foreigners, but resi dents of tlie country into which the commodities ure Imported. A duty on imports may injure foreigners by depriving them of an opportunity of exchanging their products for the products of tho country Imposing the duty, but no import tax will for any length of time compel foreigners to sell their products at a loss, or toue cept less than the average rate of profit on their transactions; for no business can permanently maintain itself under such conditions. Where a nation possesses a complete monop oly of an article, as is tins ease of Peru in respect to guano, and to a great extent witli China in the ease of lea, the monopoly always obtains the highest practicable price for its commodity, and the persons who find its use indispensable are obliged to pay tlie prescribed prices. The imposition of a tax on the importa tion of such a commodity into a country may Compel tho monopoly, for thesakeof reluiningu market, to reduce its prices proportionately, and iu such cases tho nation impos ing the Impost may to a degree share tlie profit of tho monopoly. But the price to tiie consumers is not dimin ished by reason of the import, duty, and the cases in which any interest has such a complete control over the supply of a product as to enable it arbitrarily to dictate price's are so rare as hardly to render them worthy of serious consideration in an econo mic argument. THE PEACE AND WAR A ROE ME NT. Another powerful argument in fu voi of Free Trade between nations is that of all agencies it is the one most conducive to tho maintenance of in ternational peace and to t iie preven tion of wars. Tlie restriction of com mercial intercourse among nations tends to make men strangers to each other, and prevents tlie formation of that union of material interests which creates aud encourages in men a dis position to adjust t heir diffi ruuees by peaceful methods rather than by physical force. On tin- other hand it requires no argument to prove that Free Trade iu its fullest development tends to make men friends rattier than strangers, for the more they ex change commodities and services the more they become acquainted with and assimilated toeuctiother; whore by a feeling of interdependence and mutuality of interest springs up, which, it may be safely assumed, does more to maintain amicable rela tions between them than all the shins of war that ever were built or all the armies that ever were organized. Of the truth of this the experience of England and tlie United States in respect to tho Alabama claims is a striking example. The moral and religious sentiments of the people of the two countries undoubtedly con tributed much to restrain the beligor ent feelings that existed previous to the reference of the claims to arbitra tion; but a stronger restraining cle ment than all, and one underlying and supporting the moral and re ligious Influences, was a feeling among .the great body of the people of the two nations that war, in aj mere business transaction, “would! not pay and that the commerce and I trade of tlie United States and Great ; Britain are so interlinked and inter-! woven that a resort to arms would re suit in permanent impoverishment j to both countries. One argument, however, in favor of I’l oteetioh, which is said to take stronger hold on tlie ] popular mind than almost any other, is the asserted necessity of artificial ly, stimulating by legislation all man ner of domestic industries, in on.lt r that the country may not lie depend ent on other nations for martial requisites in case of possible foreign war. Tlie first answer to this aver- ' meat is, that whatever may have been ' our condition heretofore, the power! of production at present in the Uui-i teu States is so great, so varied and so permanently established that it is hardly possible to conceive of a eon tlugenoy Iu which tin* nation could be Inconveniencod by a deficiency of any material requisite for the carry ing on of war, with the exception of the two commodities, gold and salt petre ; und it will uot be pretended by any one that the domestic supply of either of these articles can lie advan tageously Increased by restricting their importation. Second, witli u vigorous, patriotic population, espe cially if the same be supplemented, as in the ease of England and tiie United States, with favorable natural renditions for defence, that Unyon, under our present eivilizatiou. will lie most invulnerable in war which can incur and sustain tlie greatest and longest continued expenditure, or which, in other words, is possessed of the greatest national wealth, lint national wealth increases in a ratio proportioned to tlie removal of obsta cles in tlie way of tho development of trade, commerce ami all productive industries, whether such obstacles be in tlie nature of bad roads, high mountains, impenetrable forests, trackless deserts, popular prejudices or legal commercial restrictions, which impede a free interchange of commodities and services. During tlie late civil war the Confederate States, although deficient iu almost all the so-called manufacturing indus tries, wit ha population trained almost exclusively to agriculture, aud with all their main lines of intercommuni cation with the external world block aded, nevertheless managed to obtain at all times adequate military sup plies for conducting great campaigns so long as they were able to pay for them, and filially succumbed to tiie financial rather than to tlie physical power of their antagonists. Upon this same point tlie example of Hol land is also most instructive. From the commencement,of their existence as a nation the Dutch not only made their countrv an asylum for the op pressed of ail nations, but they took especial earo that their trade, indus tries and all commercial exchanges should be “unfettered, unimpeded and unlegislated upon," and this, too. while all the rest of tiie civilized world adopted a diametrically oppo site policy. The result was that, though possessing a most restricted territory (about four hundred thous and acres or arublo land i anil a limit ed population (loss than two mil lions;, they not only maintained their independence against the combined hosts of Spain, France uud Geruiuuy, but for a time became the dominant naval powur of tho world. Though not raising a bushel of wheat, Hol j land became file best place for Ee ’ rope to buy grain; though she did | not possess an acre of forests, there i was always more and better tlm bar i to lie obtain'- i in ii'T ports than else where; and though she smelled no iron, and did not ruise a “sheaf of I lieuip,” her Meets became the best Ii hut sailed the seas; and all because, to use tlie words of one of her states* mihmi (Cornelius DeWitt, J 745 , “she! had the wealth to pay for these com- j uiodities,’’ and possessed this wealth because trade and all exchanges were left unimpeded. WHY FREE TRADE IS NOT IMMEDIATELY AND UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED. But the question hero paturally arises, If the above proposltions in favor of Free Trade are correct, and if tiie doctrine of protection is as false and injurious as it is represent ed to lie, how hupi>ens it that Free Trade does not ut once meet with un iversal acceptance '! and how is the adherence of many men of clear in tellect and practical experience to the opposite doctrine to bo accounted for ? One of tiie boat answers to theao questions was given by the cel ebrated French economist Bast Lit, in un article written many vears ago, entitled “That which is Seen and That which is Not Seen,’’ in which ho showed that protection Is main tained mainly by a view, of what the producer gains and a concealment of what tlie consumer loses;and that if the losses of the million were patent and palpable as the profits of tho few, no nation would tolerate the system for a single day. Protection accumulates upon a single point tlie good which it effects, while thoovil which it inflicts is infused throughout tiie community as a whole. The first result strikes the eye at once; tho latter requires some investigation to become clearly perceptible. Mankind also divide themselves into two classes producers and consumers, buyers and sellers. The interest of producers and sellers Is that prices shall be high, or that there shall be scarcity ; tho interest of consumers and buyers is that prices shall be low, or that there shall be abundance. Every per son will also at once admit that it is for tlie general interest that there shall be abundance, rather than scar city. Butin tho case of individuals controlling large agencies for produc tion, their interest us producers and sellers of large quantities of commo dities maybe made greater than their interest as consumers, if by the aid of legislation tlie price of what they produce can he raised, by discrimina ting laws, disproportionately over what, they consume, or to the cost of production. Men of this class are generally rich beyond tlie average oi the community,and therefore influen tial in controlling legislation and in determining fiscal policies; and it is but natural that in so doing they should consult their own interests rather than the interests of the mass es. The time, however, is soon com ing, when the people of the United States “will wake as it were from a dream, and ask who it was tiiat per suaded them that the way to be rich was for everybody to give as much as possible for everything.” (COMTINCVD IN NEXT ICX. ! President Grant is a very consist ent man. He refuses to remove Fish er. the worthless District-Attorney of Washington, though four of his Cabinet unite in begging him to do so. He clings to Delano, though the evidences of his corruption in office arc idling up like snow on Mount Washington in midwinter. And now he has pardoned out of the Peniten tiary, after a confinement of a few months, a notorious negro “fence," abettor of arson and receiver of stolen goods, who was last winter convicted in Washington, after a great deal ol trouble, and sentenced to an impris onment, of thirteen years. If the Freedman’s Bank had not already come to grief, President Grant would doubtless have recommended this much-injured man and brother for a high financial post in that interest ing institution.—AT.

MCRVOI S IMJdUTV. The Press, tho Pulpit and the Lecture room are silent on the subject of this disease. A false delicacy withholds a knowledge iu regard to vio lation of Physiological Laws, aud life-wrecks shattered humanity, insanity, and premature graves fill the world. No race, nation or posi tion is exumpt from tho soul-destroying scourge. Sleepless nights, twitching of the muscles, trembling of the limbs, poor appetite, easily dis turbed by noise or excitement, pimples aud blotches on the face, desire to avoid company, pe culiar sensation over the whole body are among the difficulties which attend this complaint. The Cardial Balm ot Syricum and Tonic Pills will in a short time so cleanse the blood aud sooths the nerves, aud restore strength to the body, as to make life enjoyable and happy. epilepsy oie FITS. No other remedy will cure Epilepsy or Fits so quickly as the Cordial Bairn or Syricum and Tonic Pills. Kidney Diseases and many other difficulties are cured by the use of the Cordial Balm of Syrup and Tonic Pills. If the watery portions of our food are not pass ed off. they must, wheu retained iu the system, produce serious difficulties. Language fails A-heu attempting to describe the sufferings of per sons whose kidneys sre out of order ; gravel, osck-ache, iutisiumatiou of the bladder aud of the le.hcate membranes of the urinary organs are the result if the water is not regularly and properly curried through the kidneys. The Cordial Balm of Syricum is effectual in promoting the secretion of the wa tery and unnutritious portions of the food, and in carrying it off by its proper outlets. Whatever portion of our food is unserviceable should be passed off in the water in sweat, and from the Dowels. If these useless matters are retained disease ia sure to follow, for then the blood becomes poisoned with the impurities which should pass oZ in their proper channels. The Cordial Balm of Syricum and Tonic Pills ia a powerful cleanser of the blood; it starts the liver amt kidneys into active operation, and acts >u all tli secretions of the body. It carries off old and foul elements iu the blood, which are slow and sure death if allowed to remain in tho system. DR TJ JXT KJBKfESS. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI CUM AND TONIC PILLS is the only remedy that has ever proved by prac tical experience a bene tit to those whosufft-r Irom over-indulgence in Alcoholic Liquors, it com pletely dettroyt the tastes for them, and restores the victim to h* alth aud vigor. A single trial will prove it to be just what it is recommended to be. MORPirCVE. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI CUM AND TONIC TILLS is a sure cure for the habitual use of Mor phiue. so extensively used in this country as a stimulant. It will iu a very short time com pletely destroy the desire for this narco to tic. We have many testimonials from tho first fami nes iu Europe aud America, who testify to its efficacy. OPIU M. The alarming increase of the uso of this most pernicious drug as a stimulant, by male and fe iualn, and its peculiar effects, completely destroy png the digestive apparatus and shattering the nervous system, effeminating aud debasing the mind,renders Tlie Cordial Balm of Syricum and Tonic Pills of inestimable value, as it completely destroys all desire for this most baneful drug, and restores the nerves to a perfectly healthy state, even in cases where opium has been used iu large quanti ties and for a number of years. [Davenport Democrat, Davenport, lowa.] How few people are found without some indi cations of nervous disease. This truth has been recognized ever since classic ages, when a sound mind in a sound body was held as the perfection ol human existence. Some from congenial dis ■ ase. others from youthful indiscretions, some from alcoholic indulgence or too free use of to bacco, suffer from tremor, palpitation of nervous excitement—all of which can be removed and per manently cured by the English Remedy, the Cor dial Balm of Syricum, which ha* long been in the old country the favorite remedy, and which, since its introduction into this country, has dis tanced all other medicines haring the same ob ject in view.
