YESTERDAY a poor traveling printer who appeared to bo a sober man, applied to our foreman for employment, saying he was nearly starved, had walked f--om Attica the same morning and had had no breakfast. His immediate necessities were provided for, and he was sent to maKe application to the authorities of the Printers' Union for permission to labor at his trade. It was refused to him, and he was compelled to leave the city, to prosecute his search for employment. Is this, in reality, the Plan which the Printers' Union has adopted towards their brethren of the craft who are in distress.—LaFayctte Dis patch.
We have in our office .several Union printers, and we iind that they are c1ways the first to help a printer, unless he is a published rat, or a known tramping 'dead beat.'' There are many of the latter traveling. There are very few Union printers on the tramp, from the fact that a mail must be a printer, not a "blacksmith," before he can get into the Union and good printers need never be out of a situation. So much for this "left-hander" at the Union.
QUERY.—The LaFayette Dispatch is extremely exorcised because the LaFayette Union refused to permit a rat to work. The Journal of this city threatens to discharge any of its hands who join the Union. Which is the most liberal
THE European war interests no people in our midst more than the veteran soldiers who participated in tho great American "ebellion. They are ail anxious to hear of battles and a-my movements in the old country. The warlike spirit imbibed during the civil war still clings to those who fought in t'ie tremendous battles between the North and the South.—Journal.

A. IT. DOOLEY lias the Phrenological Journal for August—an excellent number.
The Debt Statement, for August. The most striking feature in the official statement of the public debt, which was printed in the Evening Post of yesterday, is the very large decrease in the aggregate amountduring the last month, S17,-03-4,124. Siace March 1st, 1870, or during the lirst five months of Grant's second year, the current receipts of the Treasury have exceeded by $69,004,001, the expenditures, and that amount has been applied to the reduction of the debt. This is at the rate of $13,800,000 per month, or §105,000,000 per-annum and, making due allowances for the large receipts in the spring months, indicates a probable reduction of the debt at the rate of $132,000,000 per annum, so long as the present tax system lasts, and at t-liejrate of nearly $60,000,000 per annum after the remissions enacted by the last session of Congress shall take effect.
Had the tariff been revised in the interest of the revenue, and not in that of the manufacturers of steel, woolen goods and thread, the present rate of reduction might have been maintained, while diminishing by one-half the burden of taxation on the people or, better still, more than four thousand of the articles now heavily taxed might have been made entirely free of duty and the annual reduction of $60,000,000 maintained, while the trade and industry of the nation would have revived so rapidly as to lead to much greater reductions of taxation within a few years, and still pay off the entire debt before this generation of men shall pass away.
The amount of gold in the Treasury yesterday was $102,930,206, less by $9,845.843 than a month ago but the amount of interest due and accrued has been diminished in July by $15,067,661, while the certificates payable in coin on demand have increased only $4,233,360, so that the gold reserve, the property of the Government, is now $30,470,355, or nearly two millions of dollars more than it was on July 1.
The currency balance in the Treasury lias been increased during the month from $2S,945,067 to $38,063,623—a much larger sum than Mr. Boutwell has ever held in this form before, and more than five times as large as he held in April or for the greater part of the year preceding. The object of this accumulation of paper money is doubtless to be ready to redeem the three per cent, certificates as fast as they can be presented under the new currency law. At present the prospect of their return in large amounts is distant, since there seems to be little demand for the new banks authorized by that act. But the fact that the Treasury has been able to take in and lay. aside money at the rate of ten millions of dollars per month, without in any way disturbing the loan market and that it can at- any time pay out thirty millions of dollars without losing a fai.- working balance is favorab.'e to continued ease iu money.—Evening Pout.
TIIE State Department is bQing somewhat improved during these warm days. A new partition, shutting off about onethird of the corridor leading into the Secretary's room, has been put up for the purpose, it is presumed, of enabling Mr. Fish to be a little more secluded. A full set of portraits of all the men who ever filled the post of Secretary of State is likewise being secured. They are to be hung up in the diplomatic reception room, where quite a number of them are already to be seen, including some of the most prominent from the days of Thomas Jefferson, down to Hamilton Fish, the present incumbent. There has been, including Elihu Wash burn c, twenty-six Secretaries of State, and the portraits of some four or live are lacking to complete the full set.
ONE of the most important female qualities is sweetness of temper. Heaven did not give to woman insinuation and persuasion in order to be imperious it did not give them a sweet voice to be employed in scolding.

Marriage Registration in Si. Lou's—E111barrassnieiiLS of BrUles and C'c gymen* The Board of health is a li.tle unfortunate in procuring compliance with its regulations. Its pronunciamento respecting dogs has not been followed by a ve-y general- observance, and now there is some reason to beiicve t±)?.t its action in reference to the compulsory egisiration of marriages will not acco-unlislifee end proposed. It is desirable that a full registration of marriages should be made, and under the authority conferred by tbe city charter the Board of Health set about framing a system to iusure full returns. A form of certificate was adopted an'dthe Board ordered that every clergyman, minister, jusiice, and other persons authorized to perform ,'e ceremony of marriage within the limbs o" the city, should report all marriages celebrated by them on the certificate mentioned. On the back of the certificate is a series of interrogatories wlrch the bride and bridegroom are supposed to answer and subscribe their names in verification. Some of the queries are quite necessary, so far as obtaining a full record of the marriage is concerned, aud it is easy to conceive would be rather embairassiog to a maiden just at that climacteric event of youth, romance and love. Apart, however, from the personal feelings of the parties to the marriage, ibe form of certificate required is objectionable to the clergyman, who will find it very inconvenient to supply tbe details necessary to fill the blank. As to Catholic clergymen, their position is put with some force by a reverend gentlemen who has recently expressed himself 011 the subject in answer to an inquiry made. "The offices of clergymen and census take/3 are not to be confounded, aud to oblige.us to ask, on occasio-i of a marriage iu church, the age and color of the bride, and to oblige her to sign her name to these inquiries also the age, color, occupation, &c., of the groom—to oblige both to state how often they had been mar'ied before, &c., is requiring information not necessarily connected with our office.
As, however, no special time is specified for those returns, the clergy are left free to act as they please until the Archbishop's return, in September or October, whom we will consult at once for due obser%7ance of authority aid the dignity and freedom of Christian marriage."
Tbe shortest way for the Board of Health to get rid of the difficulty is to change the form of the certificate, which evidently was hastily adopted, and expungcftil queries except those that are necessary 10 make a satisfactory record. The registration of marriages is in a somewhat confused state in St. Louis county, at present. They arerequired to be reported to the County Recorder, which is not generally done, and now another report has to be made to the Board of Health. A fee of fifty cents is connected with the entry of the marriage at the Recorder's office, which is somewhat unreasonable, particularly to clergymen who derive 110 remuneration from the ceremony except in cases where a voluntary offering is made.

WASHINGTON, August 8.—Secretary Robeson has addressed a letter to Mr. Seward, at Auburn, saying that he having learned from Secretary Fish that lie (Seward) proposed to visit Asiatic countries, he would take the liberty of tendering to him the use of any of the United States naval vessels in port 011 foreign waters where he purposed to go.
The Secretary has given in detail the names and probable location now, or contemplated destination of the various vessels and the names of their commanders, and informed Mr. Seward that he has issued orders to all officers to extend to him all the facilities and courtesies within their power, and concludes his letter by saying:
I am sure they will be happy to do anything in their power for a gentleman so distinguished, but I have thought proper to yourself and the country to place the proper orders in shape.
Seward will be received at San Francisco by one of the fleet vessels, and thenceforth be carried in one or the other of them during his entire absence. It is expected he will be absent until next spring. In the meantime it is understood that he will address an unofficial letter to the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Navy on the State of affairs iu Oriental countries.
The Secretary states that he has addressed a letter to the United States Ministers and Consuls in China and Jajjan, advising them of the intended visit of Mr. Seward, aud suggesting that all proper attention be paid him whenever lie may come in their vicinity.
Mr. Seward will also do all in his power to arrange with Oriental merchants for the establishment of a through line of first class steamships from Yeddo and Hong Kong to San Francisco and the Chinese emigration question will be sifted by him, and the Chinese authorities requested not to allow any more women to emigrate to California from Hong Kong.
Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, August 8.—About half past twelve this morning, private watchman, McLane, seeing a bright light in the three-story brick building on the northeast corner of Walnut and Waterstreets, gave the alarm.
The engines hurried to the spot and found what appeared to be but a slight fire burning in the second and third stories, upon which several streams of Avater were at once turned.
The basement of the bu'Idiug, wliere the fire is supposed to have originated, occupied by the cracker bakery of Achtenberg & Hinkel. The front of the fhst story was occupied by the spice-mill of Corbett & Heekin. while directly in the rear of the' same' was the machine shop of Schultz & Co. The other two stories were used by Jewett & Adams as paper-bag manufactory.
The fire, which appealed so small at first proved very obstinate, and gradually working its way 110, b'oke out with great violence on the loof. The water seemed to have no eSect on t. Alt-hough an immense quantity of water was thrown, and the hook and ladder company worked with a will, it continued lb: ner,an hour with undiminished v.'go seeming to be protected by au attic floor »ery near the roof, and fed by some exceedingly inflammable materia!, prooabl y7 the paper used in the mauuracture of ba^s. At two o'clock, however, the flames were thoroughly subdued, and the large crowd, collected at that unseasonable hour to see the sport, quietly dispeiseu.
The loss was about $20,000. Corbett & & Hesk'.n we insured for $8,500, principally in home companies. Achtenberg & Co. were insu-ed for $1,500, and Schultz & Co. for about $1,-100.

Sheridan several official documents, which, in reality, places him in the position of a representative of the Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy. He also sent some telegraphic messages on the subject to Ministers Bancroft and Washburne, and to Gen. Sheridan. There is no doubt in the mind of Gen. Sherman but that Gen. Sheridan will be admitted to the headquarters of the French and Prussian armies and treated with proper courtesy. He says that Dr. Evans had no right to make'aay request of the French authorities for Gen. Sheridan, and that when our Ministers request it there will be porcfua'.

The report of the Minister of War, approved by the Empress, is published in the official Journal. The Minister says "Existing circumstances oblige us to prepare for the defense of the capital, to garrison with fresh troops, allowing all those which the Emperor keeps under his orders to contend in the open country against the enemy, emboldened by his first success to the point of marching on Paris. But Paris will not be taken unawares. Neither the strong arms nor the devotion of the inhabitants will be wanting.
The National Guards are to defend the ramparts, which it will have helped to render unassailable.
Forty thousand men taken from its ranks and added to the present garrison, will be more than enough to make an active and vigorous defense against an
j0^\A r*-° -:, rw '1
enemy occupying an extended front. The defense of Paris will then be as-1 sured.
But there is a point not less essential, I it is the necessity of filling up the void of our army. With help of the marine troops, with the regiments still at our disposal of France and Algeria, with the fourth battallion of each of a hundred regiments, including those members of the Guard Mobile and a portion of the Gen de Armerie, we may early put into the field 150,000 men. Besides these, the call for the class of 1S69 will give us 60,000 men, who, in a month, will become real soldiers."
