NEWS OF THE WEEK.

FOREIGN NEWS. The Austrians are reported to be committing great excesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Reliable reports of the French harvest hhow it to be very good in two departments, good in twelve, fair in twenty-three, poor in forty-six, and bad in seven. A Berlin dispatch says the basis for the fntnre agreement between Germany and the Vatican has been settled, which does not involve even the partial repeal of the Falk awe. A Vienna dispatch says the insurrection in the parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina neenpied by the Austrians is in the u#to»tremity. It is stated the insurgents at Trebinje are already between the Austrian and Turkish fires. The cable reports a terrible marine disaster on the English coatt. The excursion steamer Princess Alice, returning from Gravesend to London with about 800 passengers, was run down by a screw steamer. The Princess Alice was struck amidships, and sunk immediately. The number of persons drowned is estimated at 550, including an extradins ry proportion of women and children. It is said that France and Italy have jointly notified the Porte that they will not permit the bombardment of the Greek coast in the event of a war between Greece and Turkey. The Turkish troops are reported to be encroaching upon Greek territory. A London dispatch says that “ later estimates of the number of persons drowned by the collision on the Thames are higher than those given at first. It is now stated that between 630 and 700 were lost, the majority of the estimates favoring the latter number. A diver says he felt the corpses packed four and five deep in the cabin of the Princess Alice.” The International Congress on Weights, Measures and Coins, in session at Paris, unanimously adopted a resolution deploring tbo fact that England, Russia, and the United States had not yet adopted the metric system. The American and English delegates passed a resolution petitioning the English and American Governments to appoint a mixed commission to consider the adoption of the metric system in both countries. A Berlin dispatch says it is rumored that the powers intend jointly to remonstrate against the Porte’s backwardness in executing the treaty of Berlin, especially as regards Montenegro and Greece. Mehemet Ali Pasha, who was sent to pacify Albania, was mobbed at Yacona, sixtyseven miles northeast of Scutari. He tied the place and took refuge in a shed, but was pursued by the Albanians, who called upon him to organize an attack against the Austrians. He refused, and was, with twenty members of his suite, massacred. Complete anarchy prevails n Albania, and further atrocities are apprehended.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. Jliist. A dispatch from Elizabeth, N. J., states that Orville, the unfortunate brother of ex-President Grant, has been rent to an insane asylum at Morristown. His maniacal eccentricity seems to be the conception of immense speculations, gigantic business operations, etc The commitment to the asylum is reported to have been made at the instance of the patient’s friends. West. Chauncey I. Filley has been removed from the St. Louis postoffice, and Samuel Hays, ex-Btate Treasurer of Missouri, appointed in his place. The city of Sandusky, Ohio, was thrown into the wile est excitement last week by a cruel murder, followed by the summary execution of the author of the crime. Alice O’Donnell, aged 19 years, employed as a domestic in the family of A. K. We t, was missing. Suspicion fell upon William Taylor, aged 28, a negro coachman of West. Taylor was arrested, and confessed to ravishing and murdering the girl, telling where the body was concealed. He conducted officers to the spot, six miles out of the city. The body was found, the brains knocked out, and the throat cut. On arriving in the city again, the officer found the city in the greatest state of excitement, as the. news of the confession had spread like wildfire. He was fearful that he could not keep his prisoner, and, on consultation with the Sheriff, it was decided to take him to Norwalk for safe-keeping. Accordingly they started, as privately as possible, but bad only got a short distance when they were overtaken by a posse of mounted men and the buggy containing the Sheriff, Deputy, and prisoner was turned back toward the city. Soon this party was met by thousands of excited citizens on foot, and, as soon as the city limits were reached, the whole cavalcade halted. Every moment the excitement became greater. The Sheriff had, meanwhile, disappeared, and the crowd, picking up the buggy, turned it over and took charge of the prisoner. The mob was now led by the brother of the murdered girl, and hi rage approached that of a wild animal. The defenseless prisoner was beaten in the most horrible manner possible. Howls of rage and shouts of fiendish triumph went up. At length he was evidently insensible, but the mob was not satisfied. The murdered girl’s brother had adjusted the rope around the prisoner’s neck, and now, with a shout of vengeance, threw it over a lamp-post. A thousand hands reached for the other end, and as many as could grasp it held it fast and drew the limp, lifeless form from the ground and fastened it there, thus satisfying the ends of justice before the law could take its course.

Congressman Frank Welch, of Nebraska, is dead. A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, reports that J. H. Adams and Cornelins Finley, of Santa Clara county, Cal., were murdered at Davidson’s canon by Mexican bandits. President Hayes was accorded an enthusiastic reception at the Minnesota State Fair, in St. Faul. He delivered a lengthy speech to an audience of 50,000 people. The address consisted largely of tabular statements showing the reduction of the public debt, the decreased rate of taxation since the war, the condition of the currency, etc. He concluded as follows: Now, my friends, with this picture, a* I think, so full of hope for the future for you and I as individuals, I do not venture with confidence upon predictions of prosperity reviving. I have no spirit of prophecy, but, reasoning, let u* see how it stands. The debt is a great burden upon labor and capital. It Is greatly, diminished and is still diminishing. Taxation is a great burden upon labor and capital, and it is greatly diminished and still diminishing. So, too, as to the expense* of the Government; and then, with that which helps us, a sound currency coming, and immigration coming, may I not confidently say that these are indication*, at least, that we are marching to the threshold of reviving general business prosperity 7 And now shall we look around for a new way to pay

old debt*, or ehall we march in the paths marked out by the father*—of industry, of economy 7 Shall we do what Washington and Franklin would advise ? This is the question pefore the people to-day, my friends. I inter upon no argument on a disputed question, but I say, as my opinion—we may be mistaken all of us, but I believe it- that a restored financial cond tion dept nd* largely upon sn honeet currency ar d I say this: The commerce of the world is the commerce now in which we are taking part, and that is the same thing the globe around - • . • • Where there are very hard times in one great nation, scoter or later it goes clear around. We should then base our financial system on principles afid by instrumt ntalitie* that are sanctioned and approved by the judgment of the whole commercial world. Then, I ’repeat, if we want our standard financial prosperity Jo.be based upon sure and case foundations, let u* remember—let ns all remember—that its best security is an untarnished national nracHt and a sound, constitutional currency. ' The Bannock Indians have not yet had all the fight whipped out of them. Dispatches from Camp Stambaugh report an engagement between a band of obstinate savages and a few soldiers and Crow scouts, in which the hostiles were pretty badly whipped, their chief and a large number of ho rses being captured. A dispatch from Camp Stambaugh, Wyoming Territory, reports that five masked men surprised and captured the herding-camp of W. P. Noble, eighteen miles from thereThe four herders were tied up, and the in" traders held possession of the camp two days, when they left, going west, taking with them all the camp outfit, provisions, etc., and thirteen good horses. It is supposed that they are part of the gang of robbers who tried to wreck the train on the Union Pacific railroad some time ago. Houth. Reports of the yellow plague in the Southern cities up to Sept. 4 show no abatement of the epidemic. At Memphis there were eighty-six deaths for the previous twenty-four hours, about half of them colored people. Physicians and nurses were well-nigh worn out, and the situation was extremely discouraging. A Vicksburg dispatch thus describes the situation in that city: “This truly has been the saddest day Vicksburg has experienced for fifty years. There is no telling of the suffering witbin our midst. No pen can picture the dreadful state of existing affairs here, and the outside world can form only a faint idea of the misery of the poor of this plagueridden city. If this devastating disease keeps up the strides of the past twenty-four hours, there will not be one left to tell the tale in a short time. There is no way to-day of getting at the correct list of new cases. The death-list—oh, horror !—exceeds any during the scourge of the never-to-be-forgotten 1853. No person seems to be exempt from attack, not even those who have bad the yellow fever before.” At New Orleans the plague was on the increase so far as the number of new cases was concerned, though the mortality was not so great, thirty six deaths being reported for the twenty-four hours. The fever has broken out at Brownsville, Tenn., Holly Springs, Greenville and Delhi, Miss., and Hickman, Ky., and the inhabitants of those towns were fleeing as fast as they could get away. At Hickman the epidemic raged several days before it was ascertained that the disease was really yellow fever, and then a wild panic ensued. Owing to the terror of the people, the Buffering in these rural towns will be greater, proportionately, than in the la> ge cities.

There were eighty-nine deaths from yellow fever in Memphis on the sth iast. A dispatch from that city of that date says: “We have settled down into a state of despair that is hard to break by the closest home-thrusts from the plague. We know nothing of what the outside world is doing, nor do we care. Doctors, nurses, drugs, sick-rooms, coffins, graves, engross our attention by their petrifying monotony of occurrence.” At New Orleans 201 new cases and e’ghty-six deaths were reported on the stb. In Vicksburg the plague showed no abatement, the number of deaths being greater than on any preceding day, namely, 45 ; number of new cases reported, 183. At Holly Springs, Miss., Hickman, Ky., and Brownsville and Union City, Tenn., the situation was truly distressing. Business was completely suspended in all these places everybody having fled that could get away. There was sore need of supplies and nurses. An address has been issued by the Howard Association at New Orleans setting forth the urgent need of help from the people of the North, East and West to enable the charitab'e organizations to continue their work of relief. For the twenty-four hours ending at 6 o’clock Sept. 8 there were 101 deaths from yellow fever in Memphis, and 400 new cases; in Vicksburg, for the same period, there were 185 new cases and 42 deaths; in New Orleans, 223 cases and 87 deaths. At Grenada the pestilence had abated somewhat, simply because there were uo more victims . At Hickman, Greenville, Canton, and other t owns where the plague had appeared the mortality roll continued to increase. The total deaths from yellow fever in all the plague-infected cities up to the 7th of September, were as follows: Ccwew. Deaths.

POLITICAL POINTS. The Arkansas election, held Sept. 3, resulted, of course, in the re-election of Gov. Miller and the entire Democratic State ticket, the Republican party having placed no candidates in the field. The Minnesota Republicans held their State Convention at St. Paul last week, and renominated Hon. John M. Berry for Supreme Judge, S. H. Nicholls for Supreme Clerk, and O. H. Whitcomb for Auditor. The Southern and civil-service policy of the President was indorsed. The Democrats of Kansas assembled in convention at Leavenworth, on the 4thinst, and placed the following ticket in the field : Secretary of State, L. W. Barton; Treasurer, C. C. Black; Attorney General, J. F. Cox; Superintendent of Public Instruction, O. F. McKein ; Chief Justice of Supreme Court, R. M. Ruggles ; Auditor, Osborn Shannon. Proctor, Republican, has been elected Governor of Vermont by about 18,000 majority. In the First and Second Congressional Districts the Republican candidates were chosen by the usual majorities. In the Third district there was no election, owing to the fact that neither of the three candidates received a majority of all the votes cast. The Greenback candidate captured the largest number of votes, and came very near of an election. The New Hampshire Greenbackers

have nominated Warren G. Brown for Governor. The Republican State Convention of New York has been called to meet at Saratoga, Sept. 26. The Democrats of Minnesota held their State Convention at St Paul last week and nominated the following ticket: Associate Judge of the Supreme Ccurt, William Mitchell, of Winona; Clerk of the Supreme Court, Dillon O’Brien ; Auditor of the State, Mahlon M. Black. A Washington dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says: “A gentleman who bolds a high official position in Washington, himself a resident of New England, who has just returned from a month’s visit to New Hampshire, Maine and Maoßnuhuaeltß, say* the greenback movement In New England surprises him in its extent. In Massachusetts he found the excitement raised by Gen. Butler was very great, and says that it has had the effect to frighten the aristocratic and moneyed portion of the people, who, for the first time in many years, will take an active interest in the campaign. They are determined that Butler shall never be elected Governor of Massachusetts, and no legitimate means will be left untried to accomplish this resolution.”

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The public-debt statement for August, printed below, shows a reduction of the national indebtedness for that month of <6,475,504. Six per cent, bond* $723,553,850 Five per cent, bonds 703,266,650 Four and a half per cent, bonds 250,000,000 Four per cent, bonds 141,850,000 Total coin bonds $1,818,670,500 Lawful money debts 14,000,000 Matured debts 11,978,650 Legal tenders 846,743,256 Certificates of deposit 49,460.000 Fractional currency 16,351,728 Coin and silver certificates 44,017,850 Total without interest.....s 456,572,831 Total debt. 52,301,216,984 Total interest 27,890,917 Cash in treasury: Coins 238,420,709 Currency 2,122,171 Currency held for redemption of fractional currency 10,000,000 Special deposits held for redemption of certificates ol deposit 49,460,000 Total in treasurys 300,002,881 Debt less cash in treasurys 2,029,105,020 Decrease during August 6,475,504 Decrease since June 30 6,681,811 Bonds issued to Pacific Railroad Compapanies, interest payable in lawful money: Principal outstanding 64,623,512 Interest accrued and not yet paid 646,235 Interest paid by United States 89,835,039 Interest repaid by transportation of mails, etc 10,241,749 Balance of interest paid by the United States 29,593,290 Coinage of the United States mints in August 8,502,400 Double eagles 5,349,000 Quarter eagles 125,000 Standard 3,028,000 Gen. Lew Wallace, of Indiana, has been appointed Governor of New Mexico, vice Axtel, suspended. The decision lately rendered by Secretary Schurz, holding that lands granted to railroads by the Government become subject to pre-emption at the end of three years after the completion of the roads, has been reaffirmed by that officer on an appeal for its suspension or reversal. The d ecision can only be reversed by the United States Supreme Court.

It is announced from Washington that the Secretary of the Treasury has finally decided that 10,000,000 silver dollars now in the vaults must go out. To accomplish that he has caused to be issued a circular which provides that silver dollars may be obtained by any person in the same manner in which fractional silver currency can now be obtained. The treasury proposes to send out, at its own expense for transportation, silver dollars, in sums of not less than SI,OOO or more than SIO,OOO, to any person who may make corresponding deposits in currency with any subtreasury, designated depository, or national bank designated as a depository. In addition to that, for the present, at least, all nationalbank notes sent for redemption in multiples of SI,OOO and not exceeding SIO,OOO will be redeemed in standard silver dollars. Commissioner Raum informs the Secretary of the Treasury that the internal-reve-nue tax collections for the fiscal year ending June 30 last were $104,717,437 accounted for, and $9,705 unaccounted for. The deficiency will be made good by defaulters or bondsmen. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has prepared a circular to registers and receivers throughout the West directing the enforcement of Secretary Schurz’s reodnt decision in the Dudymott case, under which much of the laud granted to the Union Pacific railroad is to be opened up to pre-emption and settlement. According to treasury authority, all silver bullion f<jr coining purposes is now purchased in this country. Until recently large quantities were bought in London. Now the Government can secure all the bullion it wants from native holders, buying at the London rate. Most of it is purchased in San Francisco and New York. Secretary Sherman has issued an order to Treasurer Gilfillan and all sub-Treasurers, directing them to exchange standard silver dollars for United States notes. “Under this order,” said the Secretary, “the people can exchange United States notes for standard silver dollars, and with the latter they can pay customs duties or buy the 4-per-cent. bonds.”

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINGS. Three young ladies, Maggie and Lizzie Lee and Ada Edwards, were drowned at Pembroke, Canada, a few days ago. Samuel Allen McCoskry, Bishop of of the Diocese of Michigan, has been solemnly deposed from the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church by the unanimous consent of the House of Bishops. This action was a surprise te all save the members of the House, it having been generally understood that the resignation of Bishop McCoskry, submitted immediately before bis departure for Europe, would be accepted. His deposition from the ministry and from all its offices, however, is not the result of a former trial of charges of immoral conduct, but has been made simply on the technical grounds of his abandonment of iris diocese and departure from the territory of the United States while allegations affecting his morality were in existence.

Army Frauds.

The Duke of Wellington’s caustic axiom that the first step toward a successful campaign is to hang two or three army contractors, has lost none of its truth since his time, as the returns of the late war sufficiently show. Indeed, it is stated on good authority that a regiment has been for several years on the Russian army-list, with its depot, muster of rank and file, names of officers, and even the very titles embroidered on its colors, which has recently been proved to have no existence whatever, except in the imagination of those who appropriated the money.

“A Firm, Adherence to Correct Principles.”

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Capital: It* Rights, and Nothing More Labor: It* Bights, and Nothing Less. Labor is the normal condition of life. Production is the fruit of labor, and capital is the fruit of production. Independent of labor, there is no such thing as capital. Nature supplies the earth and sea; but man, through the higher elements of mind directed by experiment into experience, and by the intuitive genius of invention into creation, gathers from the land and from the sea his means of life. As his skill advanced his production increased, and just to the extent that his production increased beyond his wants was capital created—for capital is nothing more nor less than the excess produced by labor beyond what labor requires to nourish itself for production. All capital, then, however acquired, originated in labor; for, independent of it, capital could not have existed; and, independent of it, cannot exist Stop labor—we starve. Stop labor—we are without raiment Stop labor—production ceases. Gold and silver may remain; but, independent of labor, they can neither buy us food or furnish us with raiment Labor is prosperity, and whatever tends to depreciate labor tends to lessen capital. Capital has, through the tyranny of laws and the accidents of time, made power its slave; and, by power, it has subjugated man to man, labor to gold, and weakness to strength. All tyrannies have grown out of this subjugation. All wars are its fruits—all degradation has been its result. In the eternal struggle, the world has succumbed to the monstrous dogma that might makes right. How else did Nero reign? How else Caligula command? It was this that made Poland what she is. It was this that gave Ireland to her English despots. It was this that left manacled India a charnel land of starving dupes. It is this that to-day gives 6,000,000 of dependent paupers and 16,000,000 of hireling slaves to England. It is this which makes Prussia an iron-handed military despotism, where the rifle is the argument and the sword the logic of power. It is this which capital has arrayed itself in incorporated power and moneyed insolence to bring about in the United States. For a century, liberty and manhood and the spirit of ’76 have kept this our land free from despotism. But as capital has increased, labor having been frugal, industrious and generally rewarded, and specially confiding, it has concentrated—concentrated into gigantic proportions. I said free from despotism—that is not correct, for slavery existed, and slavery is despotism. Indeed, so despotic became its power that even in the light of education, and in the progress of liberty, it assumed that cotton was king—might, right. Then came war—wild as rebellion, daring as despair and desperate as revenge. As war came, the demands of war came—money—money by the hundred millions, nay, by the thousand millions —and with the demand the cunning, over-reaching insolence of money marshaled it, commanded it, controlled it. Wall street and Beekman street, Third street and State street played the part of Harpagon as lender. Knowing that war held the country by the throat, they made their terms, and such terms no Jew usurer ever before imposed upon necessitous need. Insatiable greed held the purse. Forty-two cents they would Five for a dollar, provided they were released from taxes, and provided they could have exclusive bank charters, with S9O in bills and SIOO in bonds for $42, and provided they got interest in gold on their bonds, and provided they should have the right to receive deposits and discount them, and sell exchange and compound interest. So that capital made its terms thus : Capital lends $42, for which capital receives : Rondssllo Interest, $9.00 Bills 90 “ 8.10 Deposits 200 “ 18.00

Totals39o $37.10 Thus, by the infamous subtleties of interest, the nation pays for the $42 it received : In interest, $37.10 ;in bonds, SIOO ; in bills to lend on compound interest, S9O, and the privilege of playing the usurer on S2OO in deposits. It was by this most hellish brood of chartered privileges that the Bank Association has robbed the people and got the start of labor. Two thousand bank Barons—l,ooo bank usurers—have consolidated $2,000,000,000 of capital into a colossal guillotine to decapitate labor and hold in captivity every laborer who aspires to respectable wages, to a decent home, to education for his children, and to the comforts of life for old age. This huge fraud of associated taxexemptionists is from second to minute, from minutes to hours, from hours to days, and from days to years, sucking up the earnings and the life-blood of the people: Every second it draw* $3.17 ■very minute it draws 190.75 ■very hour it draws 11,415.40 Every day it draws 273,960.00 Every year it draws 100,000,000.00 Every hour it draws enough to settle in comfort, with enough to build a home on homestead land, get in crops, buy teams, cows, and everything essential for fifteen families, or seventy-five people; and every day its profits, robbed from the public, would settle 265 families, or 1,825 people, on such homesteads. For these profits the Government derives no benefits, but, if the Government would pay off its bonds, stop the interest, stop the bounties and stop the inequality of taxation, and give the money now paid to these cormorants to help honest and industrious men to get on to Government homesteads, the benefit would be incalculable. It would be the grandest step in the history of civilization. It would elevate the now dependent It would give to labor its just reward. It would make producers out of consumers; indeed, it would render poverty unnecessary, and place comfort and competency within the reach of all. We possess every description of climate—as soft as Persian valleys, as fruitful as Indian gardens, as rich as Andalusian fields. Our productions are as varied as our climates, from the bloom of endless flowers to the snows of endless winters. Everything that grows ripens into harvest, and is gathered into granaries, Irom. the pinefringed borders of the Atlantic to the golden shores of the Pacific; from the tropical fruits of Southern seas to the frozen climes of Labrador. We have land full of all possibilities, such as no Government in the providence of the All-Wise ever before bestowed upon its people. Lands for homes, lands inviting culture, and rich in all the elements of productive wealth. And until within a century our rivers were without vessels,

our lakes were undisturbed, our land uncultived. One hundred years back, and the whole population was on the Atlantic coast. Our country was then new, its virgin soil was then fresh as it came from the hand of God, and our inland rivers and seas were as unruffled by navigation as when the waters of the flood swept resistless and sublime into the channels nature prepared for them. Yes, all this land, now glowing with the active rivalries of 45,000,000 of human souls, but little more than a century back was a dreary waste of riches. Today we have but broken through its crust; but commenced to comprehend its richness, its humanities, its education, and its duties. The men who were the pioneers in its -settlement had been educated to oppression, to classified rights, to aristocratic orders, to slavery for the million, to almost universal ignorance and to almost universal oppression. Printing, it is true, had lightened its touch, but its rays were yet weak, for feudalism reigned, and privilege i«led. Mind had thrown off its serfdom, but mind, like light, required forces it could not command. It had to work its way, growing as it went, and soaring as it flew, till it reached those mountain heights where genius made it immortal. Philosophy did as much to people and to create the Government of the United States as all its endless resources. Liberty hailed America as its chosen land. But it was without capital to invite labor, as it was without labor to invite capital. Railroads did not exist Steamers there were none. Men had to walk through forests ; ride they could not, for there were no roads, no carriages, few horses, and cattle were hardly to be seen. In one word, the early settlers had not alone to battle their way by the most primitive means, but to make their way through all obstacles, even the tomahawk of the savage. This, remember, was only a century’back. All west of the lakes was an unbroken waste. Fifty years measures civilization between the Alleghanies and the Rocky mountains, between Lake Erie and the Pacific ocean. Ho v, then, were the difficulties overcome? How did the poor become rich? How did labor battle its way into production? Let us look back to see how it was done, and forward to see what may be done. Money the pioneers did not have. Land was everywhere, but for capital, beyond his head, his hands, and his locomotive powers in the midst of boundless fields, he was as destitute of as the pennyless beggar at the door of Delmonico’s, who, seeing a feast of riches before him, is yet forced to beg for a crust of bread. The pioneer was without money, but he was rich; the boundless continent was before him; he was young, he was strong, he could work. It was labor’s' business to pr duce wealth, and labor alone could produce it. Labor then put on its leathern apron, calloused its hands, freshened its heart with hope, and, with the bold energy of youth, it struck down the forest; up went the cabin, in went the plow, scrape went the hoe, scatter went the seed, God freshened the soil to quicken growth, bright suns ripened the grain. Swift followed the cradle, on went the rake, up went the shock, down went the flail, out came the grain. On flowed the stream that turned the millstone, away went the grain to the hopper, out came the flour, soft hands molded the bread. The means of life were secured. But to make the cabin, construct the plow, make the hoe, pound out the scythe, scrape out the flail, pound out the wheat, yoke up the oxen, drive to the mill, and grind out the flour—made labor for farmer, meclianic, and miller, and to make the bread a good wife was wanted. With the cabin, and the flour, anil the wife, came children. Wheat bought cows, and sheep, and hogs, and hens, and labor. Everything that came created new wants, and labor was the fruitful mother of every want, and every want created new demands for labor. So that from the felling of the forest, the building of the cabin, there came an endless demand for help, and every demand for help was a promise of food and home and comfort for labor. Labor thus promised grew into communities, where labor divided itself into all trades, into all arts, into all orders of production. With production came churches to Christianize men into duty, and schools to educate them into manhood and into justice. In early days of American life churches and schools and printing-presses came slowly, but they came. They that were poor, by labor became rich; and,where fifty years back was the untouched forest or the wild prairie, cities, towns, farms, and homes, opulent in all that constitutes comfort and creates wealth are now the generous rewards of that early toil. To-day five years will accomplish what it required thirty years to accomplish a century back, and what it required ten years to accomplish half a century back. For today we put ourselves on railroads to reach new lands, and labor has invented and created every appliance to achieve homes, wheat, and production, which is but another name for riches. To-day, too, homes of land are given to whoever will occupy land and make it a home. But, with all the splendid growth of the productive power, and with all the accumulated conveniences the spirit of liberty and the genius of production have evolved out of the resources of this God-blessed land, there has grown up, silently, quietly, almost unnoticed, the curse which the Old World has fostered, and which all tyrannies have conspired to increase, and that is the power of dead capital concentrated into monopolizing wealth. It is this curse, fed on usury, nurtured by interest, pampered by power, which has created the Bank Association—that 2,000-headed devil-fish, whose suckers are drawing the life-blood of the nation to fatten ostentation and enslave labor. The corner-stone of the edifice is monopolized power. Its proclaimed principle is to cripple labor by starving it into submission. It is to liberty what the Bastile was to France. So long as it existed slavery existed, poverty was crushed, the rich reigned, despots ruled. When it fell humanity cried aloud for joy, the human mind was delivered from the chains of the past. It threatened labor, hope and life, and the people tore it down, leveled its battlements, hurled its keepers into eternity, and cut the cable which for 800 years had anchored labor to despotism, and the people to servitude. The Bank Association is the Bastile of American tyranny. There’is but one thing to be done, kill it; vote it out of existence, pay off the bonds which feed its suckers with interest, tear down its frowning ramparts with greenbacks. Next after the Bank Associatiou come the railroad Barons. The New York Central, with Vanderbilt to monopolize highways, to regulate travel, to kill opposition, to dictate wages, controlling $200,000,000 of capital, as fierce in its dictatorial mandates to labor as any

Irish-ruling English landlord—a public curse. Twin monopolist, Thomas Scott, with his iron links reaching across the continent, controlling the highways of freight and travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific, dictating wages to labor, and saying, “Take this, or the rifle shall make you take it ” Then follows Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the Pacific railroads, making up monopolies stronger than any European despot ever exercised or controlled. These moneyed and railroad corporations have made tyranny a possibility in the United States. They have attempted to control lands, transportation, food , labor, and all that goes to make up the daily factors in prosperity. They stand in the way of equal laws. They stand in the way of free farms. They stand in the wav of homes for mechanics. They stand in the way of labor. They stand in the way of that equality essential to liberty. They stand in the way of all individual effort. They are antagonisms to the spirit of the age. Their power must be controlled, their monopolies must cease, their dictations to labor must end, or their fate will be the fate of the Bastile.

With millions of men ready to create new wealth, new farms, new homes, new cities, new States; with labor which has but to unite to say that this Government shall no longer be the legislative slave to capital, the way to equality of rights is plain. The voter holds the key. Labor commands all its outposts. Stop all interest. Labor can do it. Vote. Pay all bond? in the money of the people—the sovereign greenback. Vote that it be done. Put an end to all railroad monopolies. Vote that the Government shall control and own all public highways. Vote that no mm shall monopolize a single foot of public land that he does not oacupy. Vote that no monopoly shall exist. Vote that education shall be universal and imperative. Vote that no felon’s labor shall be put in competition with honest labor. Vote that the Government shall advance, in the sovereign money of the sovereign people, to every headr of a family who desires to go on to our public lands, and who is a sober, honest and intelligent worker, money enough to enable him to build a comfortable house, get in his first crop, procure farming implements and farm stock, and in five years the. East will be depopulated of its surplus labor. Strikes will be unknown, crime will diminish, drunkenness will no more be seen. The great West and the fruitful South will grow into gardens. Then will true equality commence, then will civilization approach its purpose, then there will be no drunkards but the idle rich and the idle poor. Then there will be no criminals but the viciously wicked. Then there will be no want but of the profligate and the wasteful. All that is demanded to accomplish this beneficence, all that is required to make homes certain and production universal is concert of political action. Vote and it is accomplished. But labor and intelligence must combine into unity, must organize into strength. The voter reigns—that is, if the voter organizes; but the unorganized voter is like the water of Niagara above the falls —direct it, organize it, give it work to do in canals, in water viaducts, in channels, and it would turn the machinery of the world; but let its strength rush on in mad defiance, unorganized, undirected, and it plunges wild, blind, terrible in its worthless power into gulfs of despair, and floats away in savage grandeur to be lost in the lake which swallows it.

The great laboring and mental waves of the people are as grand in their strength, as resistless in their power, if organized and directed by reason into unity and by unity into action, as Niagara. If they act in unity and vote they can move the machinery of the world. The political power of the United States is to-day with the laborers of the United States—with its farmers, its mechanics, its laborers, mental and physical; and if they would have sovereign money to equalize values, if they would have labor justly rewarded, if they would end monopolies, if they would put down bank associations, if they would curb corporations, if they would have free farms and aid to improve them; in one word, if they would Christianize politico into equality and education into justice they must organize to vote—and vote the National Greenback-Labor party into power. The voter can do it. will he do it ? That is the question. Stephen D. Dillaye.

A CRY FOR HELP.

An Appeal in Behalf of the Yellow-Fever Sufferer* of the South. To the Chamber* of Commerce and the Charitable of the Chief Citi s of the Union: The cry of anguish from the stricken cities and people of the South has been answered by a noble burst of charity from the people and cities of the country. Contributions, great and small, have been extended to the sufferers. The Secretary of War has generously extended the aid of the Government to the ponr and needy of the pest-rlilileu cities, but, great as has been the charity, the necessity is yet greater, and the sums subscribed are yet inadequate to tbe wants of the suffering. In New Orleans, Vicksburg and Memphis, as well as in the smaller towns of Holly Springs, Grenada, Port Gibson, Canton, Greenville, Brownville, Baton Rouge and Delhi all business is suspended. It is estimated that, in the suspension of business on the Mississippi river south of Memphis, over fifty steamboats are tied up, and their crews discharged. ’Longshoremen, and gangs of stevedores, and other laborers who were engaged in the receiving and discharging of freight, are without employment. Four great lines of railroad are paralyzed, and their employes are idle. Nearly every place of business in the cities and towns where fever prevails is closed, and the employes discharged. These employes are poor, and depend on their labor for support. It is estimated that of these unemployed men there are in New Orleans 15,000, Memphis, 8,000; Vicksburg, 2,000, and in smaller towns, 2,000, making a total of 37,000 discharged workingmen, most ’ of whom are heads of families, and represent a total population of not less than 108,000 in actual and desolate want. These people have no means to get away from the pest-ridden cities. For them there is no labor, no wages, no bread, nothing but death or starvation, and this condition must last at least for fifty days, for there will be no stay of the pestilence, no resumption of business, until frost. Averaging the support of each individual at 20 cents per day, which is 10 cents less than the cost of army rations, for fifty days, the support of the suffering and destitute will cost $1,080,000, and this for subsistence alone. Nothing for medicines, clothing, proper sustenance for the sick, and burial of the dead has been taken into account in this calculation. It has occurred to the undersigned that a comprehensive system of relief should be at once inaugurated to avoid the appalling distress which will sicken and shock humanity when to the awful destraction of the plague are added the horrors of famine. We suggest that in each of the great cities of the Union a central depot for the reception of supplies be at once opened where the contributions of provisions, tea, coffee, wines, medicines and clothing may be sent. The lines of transportation over both land and water have volunteered to transport supplies to the stricken cities free of charge. Let New Orleans, which is most accessible by sea and land, and which has more facilities for trans-

$1.50 ner Annum

NUMBER 31.

portation, be constituted the central depot for the reception of supplies, which can oe forwarded to the Howard and Peabody Associations of that city as fast as collected. Let Vicksburg, Memphis and smaller towns that are affected send to New Orleans their agents to aid in receiving, distributing and forwarding pro rata supplies to the respective towns and cities for which they are destined. We appeal to the Chambers of Commerce of the great cities to inaugurate this movement forthwith. We appeal to the charitable and good. We appeal to the ministers of God for their influence, and that of their congregations. Even the smallest donations of provisions, money or medicines, will be acceptable. The characters of the noble gentlemen who compose the Howard Association, and the Peabody Association, and the Young Men’s Christian Association are guarantees that all charities will be properly ana honestly applied. In the name of a common country and a kindred humanity we invoke for our stricken, dying, and starving people the charity of those whose homes and loved ones are secure from the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that waste th at noonday. E. John Ennis, Louisiana. R. L. Gibson, Louisiana. John T. Moro an, Alabama. Wm. H. McOardee, Mississippi. Chbus Bussey, President New Orleans Chamber of Commerce.

THE OLD MACHINE.

<4rantism Revised—A Spectacle for lieformers. [From the New York Sun.] The old party machine, with which the country was so familiar during the era of Grantism, has been furbished, oiled, and is now in active motion at Washington, driven by experienced hands, and run in the well-marked ruts left by the former engineers. If Robeson, and Belknap, and Taft, and Zach Chandler, and Don Hamilton Fish, and Reformer Jewell, and the rest of them were to drop in they would find everythicg working after their own fashion, with much psalm-smgiog at the White House thrown in as a sort of moral dessert. Carpet-bagger Kellcgg shines afresh, like a newly-minted dollar of the daddies, and dictates his appointments to office and his share of the other spoils, with a foreknowledge that every order is to be obeyed. The departments all acknowl* edge his authority, and for the time, at least, he is master of the situation. His power is by no means confined to Louisiana, but is seen and felt in other States, and with practical effects daily in the District of Columbia. Dorsey and Conover also rejoice in their influence at the White House, and maintain the best personal terms with its occupant, and the latter is now a candidate for the House of Representatives, backed by the frau lulent administration. Imitating the example of Grant, Hayes and his concern are absent from Washington more tkan half the time, wandering about for amusement, or seeking to make political capital. Last week Schurz alone was on duty, turning the crank of the machine with the zeal and fidelity of Delano and Chandler. They all draw their pay punctually, and are rigid in docking the salary of every clerk who may exceed for a day the regular leave of absence. The assessment of officeholders goes on in the prescribed forms that were used during the days of Grant, when Postmaster Edmunds was Secretary of the Congressional Committee, and blackmailing was a recognized feature in party management. Lists have been furnished from every department of the names of all persons employed therein, male and female, and a circular fixing the exact sum required, graded by salary, is delivered by a hired collector, whose activity is stimulated by a commission on the sums he pays over to the committee. Mr. Schurz has formally declared that his subordinates may do what they please with their spare money, which simply means they are expected to answer the call of the managers, and civil-service reform will be helped by liberal subscriptions to the campaign fund.

John Sherman has made an example in his department, which is intended as a notice to the many thousands employed in the treasury that they must either pay the assessments or give up their places to others who will submit to the imposition. Mr. Hugh Waddell was invited to take an office under the Sixth Auditor as an expert accountant, penman, and man of business. He is not a politician in any sense, and the Auditor, McGrew, who has three sons in office, gives him the very highest credit for ability, faithful service, the best habits, constant attention, and acceptable deportment. He refused to pay the arbitrary assessment, was reported for non-compliance, and in forty-eight hours after received notice of his dismissal, signed by John Sherman and his executioner, J. B. Hawley. This same John Sherman proposes to reform the Custom House here in the same way.

Public notice has been given by the party organs in Indiana that R. W. Thompson, now yachting at the public expense after the manner of Secor Robeson; A. G. Porter, Comptroller of the Treasury, and J. N. Tynor, First Assistant Postmaster General—as a’political legacy of the late Senator Morton—are to open the campaign in that State, and to spread themselves over many counties by way of instructing the people in their duties at the coming election this fall, when a new Legislature is to*be chosen, and a Senator depends upon the result This programme is intended, of course, to illustrate Hayes’ order of June 22, 1877, in these words: “No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions or election campaigns.” Troops are alone wanting to make the machine perfect All the other parts are in running order, with the Gorhams, Hales, Garflelds, Logans, and the old Grant guard serving at the engine and keeping the fires banked ready for all emergencies, and prepared for a third term. Altogether it is a charming spectacle—these reformers struggling to purify the public service in Louisiana and Florida and Washington !

They Met on the Street.

Ira Harris and J. W. Calder, the former the receiver of the Dallas and Wichita railroad, the latter its manager, were met on the street by Messrs. Painter, Ohenchair and Rosser, exdirectors of that road. Some words passed between Harris and Rosser, when Harris struck Rosser with his fist, and was knocked down , by that person with a cane. Rosser then drew a pistol and began shooting at Calder, who was standing a little aloof. Ohenchair and Rosser also drew weapons and opened fire upon Calder, who fell mortally wounded. His last act was to draw his pistol and fire ineffectually at his assailante. The three ex-directors surrendered themselves to Sheriff Harris unhurt. Cause, railroad complications.— Dallas (Texan) Herald.
