THE pretence of the free traders that a protective tariff is in the interest of the manufacturer as against the laborer, is a most pernicioutmisrepresentation, for two reasons:'First, because there is no fixed class of manufacturers, or monopoly of business but every one can engage in them who feels disposed. Hence the profits of manufucturers will he divided and regulated by competition. And secondly, because the very purpose of protection is to keep up the wages of labor. As long its wages in Europe are less than in the United .States, they can manufacture cheaper, for the whole cost of iuanuufuctures is simply the cost of labor. Whenever our workingmen are willing to work for European juices they can afford to go against the tariff—aside from the question of revenue—but not before. Every vote againut the tarifT is a vote to reduce (he wages of our workingmen.

TICK Philadelphia /-Vc& thinks that, if NAPOLEON'ii only getting tbe Germans just where he wants tlietu, he is certainly very succevssful as strategist, for they aie. pitching right into the snare. It reminds us of the description of a conflict between a fighting editor and an irate reader of his paper. The editor having thrown hi-i adversary upon his back upon tin* old-fashioned handpress, held hiui down by means of our m-ut, which'Ave had inserted between his teeth for that purpose." NAPUI.KON put his nose into the mess at Saarbruck when he and the l'riuce Imperial received their baptism of lire, and has never been aide to extract iit His lines have been broken up his armie-'beaten in detail within supporting distance of llieir reserves he has lost iu killed, wounded and mis.ing probably one hundred thousand men he has been forcod back from one strong position to another with enormous loss and military disgrace yet his sympathizers think he ia only drawing the Prussians on." Are] all these disasters part and parcel of his grand combination?

THE Journal is in error in saying that the colored people did not pay school taxes prior to the last session of the General Assembly. It ia true that there was no law requiring them to pay any portion of the regular levy for school purposes but in this and other counties, law was disregarded, and the property of colored citizens was compelled to pay its proportion of that tax, while they had no free school privileges for their own children. The special school tax was levied on their property and collected under what was regarded as fthe proper construction of the law. nfissMv*

If the editor of the Journal will look over Iris files of two years ago, he will find that he was then compelled to admit the truth of what' we have stated above. And there is nothing.more disgraceful in the history of the State. White men shoving their hands into the pockets of colored men to get money to educate their children, and at the same time compelling the children, of the colored people to grow up in ignorance! And yet the Journal and the Democracv claimed that such a course was light!

Annual Balance Sheet.

In yesterday morning's dispatches was published the annual balance sheet of the Treasury Department. It is worthy of more than a passing attention, and we reproduce its more important feature-

At the" of Congress taxes weiv reduced to an amount estimated at $30,000,000. it therefore receipts and expenditures for the next year continue on the same scale there will still he :t surplus towards paying the debt of about

hut there is another gratifying feature in this report, and that is, that while the actual expense* of the year are /t.-'s than the estimates of the Departments, the reeeipts arc considerably more. This proves that the officers having charge of our financial affairs are honest and capable men and also that the country is in a more prosperous condition than was calculated. Eighteen million dollars on the right side of the .public ledger is a gratifying showing-

Another feature, not so gratifying, is that we are oaying for expenses growing out of5 the rebellion,than for all other purposes together, more than three times over. The pension list and interest on the debt are direct results, and make up about S155,000.000. Add the amount paid oa the principal, and the increased expenses of the various departments, and we have a fearful picture of what the

Democratic Sympathy.

VOOKHKES attempts toshirk the respon* sibility of his eminent service in behalf of the land-grabbers by styling it "a Radical measure." In this he overlooks several points: 1. The people of his District and the State were opposed to the measure which he favored until its success was insured, and then made a pretence of opposition to it to save himself at home. «... 4...' 2. Every political paper in the rotate opposed it with the single exception of his home organ, the Terre Haute Journal, which came out'Jor it wilh more zeal than it ever manifested in any other cause, advocating it in ponderous leaders

for several days. The entire Indiana Republican delegation in Congress voted against it.

These facts are commended to I AM i. i.

consideration.

TEl.ECiRAM TO "til E COMMKItflA I.. •'LUXEMBURG, Aug. 21.—1 WAS present at the battle of Gravelotte on Thursday. The King of Prussia, Connt Bismarck and General Sheridan were on the held. It was the third and great battle for the road from Metz.to Paris. The I'rench were outnumbered and beaten back to the walls of Metz. The slaughter on both sides was horrible. I walked seven miles over the fields strewn thick with dead men and horses, he lines of battle were marked with dead in heaps. si. H.

THE statement reiterated daily in the Democratic press, that it sympathises with France because France is acting on the "defensive," is a very original way of stating the case. Th® iact that France declared war, and sent an army to the frontier, which stirred up the "Northern hive" at Saarbruck, is quietly ignored, now that the swarm pursues the retreating French, and stings them at every step of their retreat. The "invasion on the part of Prussia had something like a counterpart here during the late rebellion The rebels stole our forts, public buildings, and territory, and when the North swarmed ont after them, they set up the pretense that we were "invaders," and thov were only "acting on the defensive." We found it necessary to act on the "defensive" all oyer the South, just as Prussia is acting in traveling over France. It is a pitiful plea, after thrusting a pole into a hornets nest, to set up that the insects are "Invaders when they resent the attack. Ine 'Northern Hive" was peaceful until Napoleon speared into it. He is entitled to no symypathy for getting stung.—Onicayo Republican.

SOME of the Parisian journals are very severe against Austria because ^she will not aid France in the war against Prussia. With one hundred thousand men, say the Parisian journalists, Austria could now avenge Sadowa Tly^re is perhaps some truth in this. But^Napoleon's success in avenging himself on Prussia for the share that Power had in bringing about the results of Waterloo is not of a character to eneouiage other nations to embark in the French melodraumth' vongeance husinerw. hiln. iin/iii in,

A few days ago Mr. JAMES B. RYAN, Democratic candidate for Treasurer of State, was in this city, and happened to be in the company of some gentlemen who were talking of the war in Europe and expressing sympathy with Prussia. Hearing this, Mr. RYAN said: "For my part I don't sympathize with either of the belligerents. When two d—d thieves fall out and get to fighting, don't care which licks."

No aeiziffes were made at Morrisaey's club ho.use, but an inventory was taken of tables and gambling implements, and those inchargcwere notified that they must be delivered on Monday. This was the first complaint ever made against the place. Morrissey had the sympathy of all the visitors at the hotels, and most of the town people.

A couple of Senators, together with several of the influential men of the village, including a minister, set to work, and soon had the complaint withdrawn, and the house was open as usual in the -, evening. The Executive Committee of the Christian Association are determined to eradicate and destroy all immoral institutions ih this village. Twelve have already been closed. .'»J ,i-J- ill ^DKFALCATION.

Till: CHINKSK MASSACRF.

A special correspondent gives the details of the atrocious Chinese massacre of French and Russian residents at'Teiu Tsin, China. It appears that the responsibilities of the horrible butchery rest, entirely with ihe Chinese authorities that the mob were not only incited by tho Chinese Governor of the Province, bnL frequently urged to commit the atrocities. Their ignorance and superstition were worked upon by most remarkable means, and oflicial publications taught, them to believe that foreigners were in Tien Tsin to kidnap women and children, wilh the design of killing them and converting their bodies into drugs. A riiob field possession of the Frcncli settlement, maltreating all foreigners who were abroad for two days before any blood was shed, and the Governor not only did not restrain

disperse it, but he even per

mitted his soldiers to encourage and aid it. It was not until the riot was three days old t^at the French Consul was killed in the Governor's palace, and wholesale slaughter begun. The following are theonly nametiof the victims that could be obtained:

A number of Americans and Englishmen are missing, and can only be accounted for by the belief that they suffered the same fate as the others, and that their bodies were floated awav in the river:

Henri Fontaine, Consul of France Mr. Simon, Secretary to the Consul M. Thomassen and wife Pere Cherrier, a Catholic priest Mr Pratspaprafl', a Russian officer, and wife Mr. Buscofl" sisters Louisa, French, Marv, Victoria, Theresa. Josephina, Vincenia/Orelia, Ousencieand Catharina, Mons. and Madame Chalweisoii, in all 20.

The Rev. Mr. Staurie and family, of Cincinnati, occupied one of the missions, but as he chanced to be absent at the time, Mrs. Staurie and Miss Thompson found refuge on board the steamship Moncliu, and thus doubtless escaped a terrible faie. It is asserted that over 200 Chinese prelytes were massacred by the mob.

It is charged lhat Chunghow, the Mandarin or Governor of the province, stood by and witnessed the massacre without attempting to prevent it, and also that J. O. T. Meadows, American Consul at Tien Tsin, was in company wilh Chunghow all the lime and did nothing lo prevent the U*rrible outrage although he is an otliind had

The Shanghai News, the only American journal in Shanghai, says J. ). T. ,.M«iiIo\vs, American Consul, was the only one Who seenicd to view the whole afl'air with''.unconcern. He Was evidently tinder the protect Ion of his friend and employe, Cliunghow, for be did nor.turn out'with the volunteers and'rather sheered at tlieir endeavors' to protect their lives and property.'

This fellow,1 Meldows, is an Englishmail, is Consul for th6 United States, Holland and Danes, without salary from either, but holds the sinecure position of superintendent of Cliunghow's arsenal.

Foreign ministers and delegations are much exercised over the fact that he has been delegate to accompany Chunghow to Paris, but the Emperor will not allow any of them to leave Pekin for the interior at present. They complain that they aie shut in as prisoners, but the Emperor says that it is merely precautionary until the excitement ia over.
