TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1871.

Extension or the Wabash & Erie Canal. St. Louis is becoming considerably in earncs over the project to extend the Wabash & Erie Canal to that city. In com

menting

upon the eftorts of Chicago to di

vert traffic from New York via the Canada route to Europe, the Democrat of Thursday remarks as follows

Our readers will at once perceive that the grain trade of Now York is in danger, not only in being turned through Canada, but Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia will all attempt to seize a portion of it. There are two things then which New York City needs to do, if she would preserve her supremacy as the great exporting city of America. One is to extend the Wabash & Erie Canal to this city, and the other is to send her orders for grain all here with instructions to ship by the river and coast during the winter and spring, and via canal and lakes during the summer. In a move of this kind, Toledo and Buffalo would aid to the full extent of their ability.

In noticing the above movement the LaFayette Courier says that city is greatly interested in the maintenance of the Wabash Canal as it is at present. Its extension would prove, in the development of the agricultural resources of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, the best investment they could make, even if the tolls never ex-1 ceeded the cost of keeping the canal in repair."

The Wabash & Erie Canal is beginning to assume again that importance in public interest, which it has lost for many years. As a competitor to the vast line of railroads running East, it is a work of the first consideration. That it ought to be placed in good condition, from the Lakes to the Ohio river, manyintelligent men are now beginning to believe. If from this point it could be deflected and run to St. Louis, it would, at once, become one of the most important public works in the Northwest. To Terre Haute it would be source of great prosperity and wealth. The products of this important agricultural region must find their way to a market, without being subject to the onerous monopoly often imposed by the railroads. No system of transportation is so cheap as that of water by canal, and none safer.

If St. Louis is really in earnest about extending the Wabash & Erie Canal to that city, she will find the people of this section in happy accord with her. The canal is now in most complete navigable condition from the lake, to within twenty miles of this city, and it would cost but a few thousand dollars to put it in repair to this point. From here to St. Louis would be but the work of a few months, and then cheap transportation would be made secure to the Atlantic sea-board for the mass of the products of this great valley. If you are really in earnest, gentlemen of St. Louis, the project is worthy of your most active and persistent effort.

Journal, of this city, still clings to

its Burton precendents—"it never forgets anything, nor ever learns any thing." It continues to fight the new departure, and we guess will die fighting it. It must look out, however, if it does not die long before it succeeds in driving the sensible Democracy from the issues contained in the Day ton platform. The Journal keeps its eye steadily on the the "dead past," and stubbornly refuses to "right about face." It keeps in the rear of the times, and heroically refuses to advance to the front. The Democratic columns has received the order from its great commander, the logic of events, to "forward march," but the Journal stands still. It backs in the breeching, and kicks wildly at its friends. While it is standing so singularly still, its party is marching on to conquering and to conquest. While it lags on the political stage, the party to which it belongs, has struck the key note of the times, springs exultant to the top of the political ladder, and in one broad glance takes in the condition of the entire country, and offers the proper remedy. What our neighbor will do remains to be seen, but we would not be surprised, on some bright Monday morning, to find a change had come over the spirit of its dreams, and it would wake up—and be happy.

ACCORDING to a cable telegram, the English metropolis has been found to contain over three and a quarter millions of people. This shows an increase of nearly half a million, or sixteen percent., in ten years. The metropolitan district now contain one-ninth of the entire population of the United Kingdom, and of this huge agglomeration of human beings, every Seventh man is in receipt of public charity. It was stated a few weeks ago in the House of Commons, that the annual cost of the relief given to the poor of London was $7,330,000, and that in ten years the cost had increased eighty-four per cent. That is to say, the cost of maintaining the class in receipt of public alms has increased sixty-eight per cent., faster than the growth of the population. A fact more significant of the highly morbid character of the growth of the English metropolis could hardly be looked for.

A Clip of Tea.

Anew branch of industry has sprung up in China. The vast demand of outside barbarians for the fragrant herb "that cheers but not inebriates," has been the parent of a line of trade that is. now said to be extremely flourishing. Rumors of the liberties taken with this choicest product of the Flowery Kingdom have long been rife. We have all heard of devices for giving artificial color and flavor to tea. As soon as particular brands have grown popular, our friend, th§_ honest Chinaman, has displayed marvelous dexterity in counterfeiting t^om with cheaper sorts. What with

•vjf K-

th£ adroit use of chemicals, and the employment of divers subtle arts taught by long experience, the guileless Oriental long cheated his customers to his heart's content.

It is announced on excellent authority that more than half a million pounds of willow leaf were made up at (Shanghai last season aud palmed off as green tea. The willow leaf as prepared cannot be distinguished from green tea by the eye but to cover the difference in taste, it has to be mixed with tea before being sold. It can be produced at a cost of about four cents a pound, and can be used in the proportion of twenty to forty per cent, of the whole mixture—so that it is easily seen what a profit the "little game" can be made to represent to the seller.

live under a government "of

the people, by the people, for the people," it follows that just in proportion as the people perform their governing functions and duties promptly, regularly, and intelligently on the one hand, or neglect them oil the other, will they enjoy good or suffer bad administration. Unfortunately, a great portion of the publia is not only falling into a chronic habit of neglecting and shirking its political duties, but what is worse, it is falling into the habit of thinking, and may end in believing, the fatal error that the many evils which grow out of this very neglect, are inherent in our republican system. It must be confessed that the experiment has hitherto been made under exceptionally favorable circumstances.

Correspondence ot the New York Sun.

How General Schenck Brought President Grant to Time. WASHINGTON, May 24.—Gen. Schenck, who goes to England, but remains a candidate for tho United States Senate from Ohio, waited on President Grant the other day, and representing that he had not a single friend in office in the State where he had so long held high position, asked to have the defect remedied. The President, expressing great concern, asked Gen. Schenck to say what he wanted.

Schenck suggested that as the two supervisory districts of the internal revenue for Ohio were to be consolidated, his friend Robert Corwin, of Dayton, might be appointed. The President readily consented, and Schenck lelt in happiness, immediately telegraphing the good news to Robert, of Dayton.

The next day, however, he learned that the appointment had been given to Dwyer, a friend of Columbus Delano. Hastening to the White House, Schenck remonstrated. The President expressed great sorrow, but said that Delano had made a point on the office, and he had to give way. Then Schenck proposed a compromise, which was to leave the districts as they were, appointing Corwin to the Southern and Dwyer to the Northern District. This was agreed to and Schenck left half mollified.

The next day, however, this was revoked, but the Minister to England went in a rage to the President with such effect that Corwin's commission was issued before he left the White House.

Such is Grant's nervousness about the nomination for 1872 that half the time he doesn't know whether he is afoot or a horseback.

If all reports are true from Washington about the President's "nervousness," there are other reasons for his not know ing whether he belongs to the infantry or cavalry—whether he is on his head or on his feet—whether feeling up for the ground or tho ground feeling up for him

From the Utica Observe.

Fighting Joe Hooker's Opinion. "Fighting Joe" Hooker arrived at Os wego yesterday morning on the steamer Lawrence, en route for Magnesia Springs Michigan, whither he is bound for the benefit of his health. The steamer made a short stop at Oswego, during which the General talked freely of the war, its conduct and the result, and in the course of the conversation expressed frankly his opinion of Grant. He said Grant tried to get control of the Grand Army of the Republic, but "we" blocked him. Continued "Fighting Joe": "It is my absolute conviction that were you to walk the length of Broadway you could not meet a man less qualified for the Presidency than Grant. We of the army know him better than the people at large. When his Adjutant, Gen. Rawlins, was alive, the President seemed to be efficient and successful but when Rawlins died Grant's bottom fell out. He is now in his normal condition." On one of the gentlemen inquiring concerning Grant's chances for reelection. Gen. Hooker replied "I am no politician declined going to conventions in 1868, chiefly because I regarded Grant unfitted for the office of President but from observation I now think, candidly and without prejudice, that Grant cannot carry a half dozen States. He is very cheap."

A HISTORICAL DOCUMENT.

LaFayette's Agreement to Serve the United States. Among certain old papers lately fo.ind in the Treasury Department at Washington, is the original agreement made by LaFayette with Silas Deane, American Commissioner at Paris in 1776, to serve in the war of the revolution. Here it is as translated for the Cleveland Herald by Mr, Darius Lyman, who explains that Mr. Deane's name, which ought to follow the first paragraph, does not appear—probably because that part of the paper is duplicate. The signature of LaFayette is undoubtedly genuine:

The desire manifested by the Marquis de LaFayette to serve in the armies of the United States of North America, and the interest he takes in the justice of their cause, inspiring him to seek opportunity to distinguish himself in the war, and as far as in him lies to render service therein but being unable to hope for the assent of his family to his serving in a foreign country and to his crossing the seas, unless he shall go in the capacity of a general officer, I have deemed that I could not better serve my country and those under whose commission I act, than by conferring upon him in the name of the honorable Congress, the rank of Major General, which I beg the States to ratify and confirm, on him and to transmit his commission therefor that from this date he may hold the same, and may rank with General officers of the same grade. His high birth, his connections, the great dignities he possesses by his family in this court, his large estates in this kingdom, his personal worth, his reputation and disinterestedness, and, above all, his zeal for the freedom of our provinces, were of themselves sufficient inducements for me to promise him the rank of Major General in the name of the said United States. In evidence thereof, I have signed this document.

Done at Paris this 7th day of December, 1776. On theaboye conditions, I offer myself, and promise to leave, as and when Mr. Silas Deane shall judge proper, to serve the said States with all possible devotion, without any compensation or special appointments, simply reserving to myself the liberty to return to Europe whenever my family or King shall call me.

The Mineral Resources of the Celestial Empire. Amongst the mineral productions which are so abundant in China may be mentioned the occurrence of gold in the beds of several rivers. It is found chiefly associated with iron pyrites. Beyond the most simple process of washing the Chinese are ignorant of any other mode of extracting this metal. Silver is found in large quantities, and its extraction irom the ore is an imperial monopoly. Tin is found in the southwest provinces, and zinc is produced in Canton. Copper is extremely abundant in China. Malachite and azurite are obtained in many places. With regard to the manufacture and the smelting of iron ores, the processes in use in China are identical with those in use in other countries. The best steel is produced from a magnetic oxide of iron.

DRY GOODS.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

Tlic following* conversation recently took place between parties living in tliis city, and being reported to ns, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with anew dress on tbe other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it?

Mrs. R.—Fifty-five cents a yard. .... Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it!

Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, wliere did you get yours?

Mrs. I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade atFoster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gen tlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am told that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and \vhen I went back with it,'they not only wouldn't allow me anything for, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you

FOSTER BROTHERS.

ALL

Mis. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I liavn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most ali your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be

your money."

see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods

piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New York City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the ahove without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.
