Thc Joint Canvass. ,t

"VVc publish elsewhere, in ilii.s is^ue, I lie correspondence between LIKUS A. 1 ir HN KTT, Esq.. and Hon. B. W. IIANNA in regard to a joint canvas between Me.wn. DUNN and VOOIUIEES, with such fact.s a.s are necessary to explain it.

Mr. BURNETT, in behalf of Mr. DUNN, makes a direct proposition for peveral discussions in each ceunty, to commence on the loth Inst., with fair detail* as to the mode of conducting them. i-Ir. IIANNA, in behalf of Mr. VOORIIEES, attempt'* to get up a di.-ctission cf side matters, but finally proposes a single di»cu8«ion in each county seat, commencing on the 15th. Mr. DURNETT corner back with a counter-proposition for two discussions in cacli county. To this theieiJ. no reply. After waiting beyond '.he time requested for an an.-wer to his last proposition, Mr. BUKNKTT accepts Mr. IIANNA'S proposition for a single speech in each county but fixes the time of commencing the discussion at twelve days before the election. Mr. IIANNA docs not reply to

this. The whole correspondence indicates an intention on the part of Mr. VOOUHEES, in the first place to have no joint discussion whatever, if he can avoid it, and secondly, if forced to have one, to dictate the terms on which it shall be held. Mr. VOOKIIEES is supposed to have known what his friend and agent v.as doing in his behalf, from time to time, and to be in communication with him, whether present or absent, and he is therefore responsible for all the artful dodging which has been exhibited in this malier.

It is right that the

public

should know

the present xt'itus of the proposed joint discussion and who is to blame for procrastinating or preventing any arrange ni en I therefor.. If Mr. Vooini KI-:S intends to make a joint canvass it i3 easy for him to direct a fair arrangement to be entered into, on his behalf, but if he does not intend to meet Mr. DUNN on the stump let him say so pqua-cly and end all negotatiions about the matter. VOOKIIEES is not fond of joint discussions and in our judgement does not intend to hold any, and never has intended, 1°

so from the beginning.

July

DU2TN-YOOKHEE3 DISCUSSION.

MB. VOOKIIEES published in the Terre Haute Journal the following card: To tho Public.

Hon. B. W. I Ianna" is authorized by me to meet any gentleman designated by Mr. Dunn, and to arrange for a joint'drsciiKsion, commencing on or after-.the loth day of August W. VOOKHEES.

July 23,18' 0 On the next day Mr. DCNN authorized the following announcement in the Terre Haute EXPRESS

Mr. Dunn has appointed Linus A. Burnett, Esq., to meet ILwwJB, selected by Mr. Voorhees, and with him the preliminaries of their joint canvass of this Congressional District.

On 2Gth July Mr. BUKNETT addressed the following note to Mr. HANNA: TERKE HAUTE, Ind., July 26,1370.

HON. B. W. HANNA Dear Sir: Hon. Moses F. Dunn has appointed me to. confer with you as the representative of Hon. D. W. Voorhees to arrange the preliminaries for a_ joint convasa of this Congres-ional District. I am readv, on Mr. Dunn behalf, to meet and confcr with you at any time you may indicate. Yours truly,

TJIE public debt is actually no less than it was a year ago.—Journal. In reply to that foolish and wicked falsehood, which the Journo.1 repeats nftcr its Great Patron, VOOKIIEES, we reproduce the following statement from official sources: l'ublic debt, decrcnse for

817,031,123 74

Public dobt. rtecrcasc since March, 1870. Vublic dobt.dccrcnso during (1 rant's Administration Averago monthly crwiHOfor ISO!) Avorago monthly «C" crcnsc for 1870

Now we know, and so does the Journal, that this statement is entirely correct and reliable. Were it otherwise, it would be an easy matter to show wherein it was erroneous and we call upon VOOKIIEES niul the Journal either to admit their guilt or to demonstrate, byoflicial figures, that we are wrong. If Mr. VOOKIIEES is willing to place himself before the country as the coiner and utterer of a falsehood as mean as it is puerile and silly iilid if th© Journal is ready to play second fiddle to 'its Patron in so contemptible a business, let tlieni go on in their present com so. But if tliey desire to avoid universal contempt, let them admit the accuracy of our statement, or show wherein it is inaccurate. No public man who values his reputation, and no journal with any character to risk, will dare to neglect this challenge. VOOKIIEES and tho Journal on one side, or Secretary BOUTWELII and tho EXIMIESS on the other side, tell a deliberate, huge LIE. AYc claim that BOUTWELT, and the EXPRESS tell the truth, and we present our evidence, from official reports, in black and whito, thus placing the LIE on tho side of the Congressman and his organ, and defying them to remove the brand. Now then, swallow tho lie between you, or "come to time" with your figures.

THE New York Times thinks UieCaptain General of Cuba evidently acts generally 011 the rule that to avert difficulty it is only necessary to suppress current news. When defeat overtakes the Spanish troops in Cuba, the fact is quietly withlieldjrom the telegraph—on the theory, perhaps, that the suppression of unfavorable intelligence is the next best thing to victory. The same principle is carried out in reference to war tidings from Europe. The telegrams are suppressed— the inquisitive people of Havana being compelled to rely on private correspondence and foreign papers for the knowledge of events which threaten to shake Europe to its centre. The purpose may be bcneticen!: IK KODAS may desire to keep the mercantile mind ea*y but the confidence which conies froiu ignorance is not likely to endure the trials which seem inevitable

IF WE may credit the report of lhe Boston Times, New England agriculture is in a bad way, jnst now. The showers which have fallen in sot»e parts have not been of sufficient consequence to relieve the country to any great extent- from the drouth from which it has been and is suffering. The ground is dry add parch cd, some of the crops being actually consumed by the intense heat. Pasturage is very short, and in many sections the farmers have been obliged to feed their Hocks. A good crop of rye has been secured, but the yield of com will he light. Ilay has fallen ofl twenty live per ccnt. from an average yield, aud the fodder in spring will undoubtedly come short. The later berry crops a: decidedly small. Of potatoes an,d apples( .both crops are short.

TUE editor of the Cincinnati Tttncs linds it "comforting to be informed that after tliedefeat of the French troops at llagenau th#y were fall of dan. A few days since, owing to the clan of the troops, the French carried Saarbruck and now, owing to the troops being full of elan, they have been whipped. Our dictionary say$• elan mean 'sudden motion.' The (/(in, therefore, that helped the French to capture Saarbruck is the same clan that is causing them to movesiuldenly on Paris."

L. A. Bfitsicrr.

On the following day Mc-ssrs. BUKNETT and IIANNA met, and Mr. IIANNA, desiring that all communication between them fihould be reduced to writing, Mr. BUKNETT submitted tho following proposition:^,

HON. 11. W. IIANNA: I propose, 011 the part or Mr. Dunn, as a plan for a joint discussion with Mr. Voorhees, tliat^ it shall commence not later than the loth of August. Mr. Dunn prefers an earlier day if it suits Mr. Voorhees' convenience.

I propose that four discussions bemad* in each county or, if Mr. V. will not consent to so many appointments, then lour in Vigo and Parke each, three in Vermillion, and two each in other coun ties of the District. The discussion to commence in Owen and the places of speaking to bo agreed on by 11s. We will determine bv lot who shall open the jrst discussion, the opening to alternate daily thereafier.

I propose an opening speech 1] hours, to be followed by a speech 1^ hours hour reply by the party commencing and fifteen minutes rejoinder lv the other party.

Kespectfiillv,

July 27th, 1870. L. A. BURNETT, At 2 o'clock p. M. of the same day Mr. IIANNA .submitted tlie following answer to the foregoing proposition:

TKIUIE IIAUTK, July 27, 1870. Dear Sir:—Your note of this date ra* eeived- Mr. Dunn challenged Mr. Voofheesto a joint discussion,hfs challenge has been made with commendable confidence and courage in every part of the district where Mr. Dunn lias addressed the people The only criticism that could possibly be interposed, is, that it was made at a time when everybody in the district knew that Mr. Voorhees was at his post of duty at the National Capitol._ On Mr. Voorhees' return from Washington^ lie made some joint appointments published in a daily journal of this city,to which Mr. Dunn was most cordially invited. This gentleman, it gcems, had some outstanding engagements which he couhl not change. Both gentlemen have now filled their appointments wifhout violation of any promises-', so that the field is open for a fair meeting. Mr. Voorhees is ready to accept the proposed challenge. Both gentlemen have addressed the people in every part of the district and a very proper occasion has now transpired, when they can, with satisfaction to all, sum up the issues.

Mr. Voorhees already lias outstanding engagements which he cannot, without violence to the wishes of his friends change or modify.

He will meet Mr. Dunn in joint discussion on public questions in each eapital town of this District, commencing on the 15th day of August next and extending to a period of time sufficient to complete the engagement, not including in the arrangement the week next succeeding the 27th day of August, when his time is already pre engaged This will give everybody a chance to judge between the two chosen partisans.

I will meet you at any time you may select provided it docs not extend be yend this date, to close the arrangements. •Yours Truly, '•j 13. W. IIANNA.

An appointment was made for 8 o'clock p. M., at the Terre Ilaute House, at which time and place Mr. BURNETT submitted the following reply:

TKIUIE IIAUTE, July 27, 1876.

HON. B. W. IIANNA—Dear Sir: Yours of this afternoon, in reply to my note of this morning, is received. I was selected by Mr. Dunn to confcr with you jn relation to the terms of a joint discussion with Mr. Voorhees in this District, not to dis cuss with you the conduct of either of the Congressional candidates prior to this time. 1 understand that Mr. Dunn tlid decline his willingness to meet Mr. Voorhees in joint discussion, at the opening of the campaign, but whether thus makes him the challenging party, or whether he made the challenge with "confidence" and "courage" (as you charge) seem to me to be matters entirely foreign to our present business, and I am wholly unable to sec your object in lugging such matters into our correspondence. Your assertion that Mr. Voorhees "made some joiiU appointments," to which Mr. Dunn was invited, is not warranted by the facts. The appointments were not joint, but were for Mr. Voorhees only, and were made without consulting Mr. Dunn at all, and the invitation of Mr. Voorhees to Mr. Dunn to attend those appointments, was a very cheap way of manufacturing "btincomb," which lacks even the merit of novelty.

Without further adverting to the matters unconnected with ouv business, \vh ch comprise thres-fourths of your communication, I will say that I am not at prewnt authorized by Mr. Dunn to accept yow proposition to cut the discussion down to one speech in each county. Mr. Dunn, in seeking a joint discussion with Mr. Voorhees, was anxious to occupy the time from now till the election. He hoped to have at least four joint discussions iu each county, as proposed in my note of this morning, and, in his instructions to me, did not anticipate a proposition for less than two speeches in a county. I do not regard your proposition as amounting to a joint canvass at all._ No_ joint canvass lias ever been made, in this district, to my knowledge, consisting of one speech in a county, and I dp not know that such an arrangement will suit Mr. Dunn. It would be not only absurd but verv inconvenient, as it would compel them to go over the district twice.

I now propose to you two speeches in each countv, commencing to suit Mr. Voorhees, on the 15th of August. If you do not accept this proposition, I ask time to confer with Mr. Dunn and ascertain whether he will accept your extraordinary proposal. If you cannot act longer than to-day for Mr*. Voorhees, I suggest that some "other person bo named by Mr. V. to conduct the negotiation- I wrote you vesterdav on the subject. You met "me to-day at" 10 A. sr., for tha first time, and it would be very singular if you insist on closing the matter to-day. There is no need of such haste, as you do not propose to have the discussion begin till the 15th of August. I can hear from Mr. Dunn to-morrow or by Monday morning at the farthest- Ke?pectfully,

L. A. BURNETT.

On receipt of the above Mr. HANNA commenced to write a reply, at the Terre Haute House. Mr. BURNETT'S family being sick, and he being unable to wait until Mr. IIANNA completed his letter, Mr. HANNA agreed to leave his answer at the office of the Terre Haute llo'ise that night. Mr. IIANNA also informed Mr BCUNKTT that he should leave the city, early next morning, and would be absent until Thursday, August -1th, and requested that further negotiation be postponed until that time.

On calling at tho Terro Ilaute House next morning for Mr. IIANNA'S reply to his last letter, Mr. BURNETT was informed thai it had been deposited there, accord­! ing to agreement, on the night previaae, but had been withdrawn by Mr. IIANNA that morning.

After waiting until tho evening of August Gth, and not hearing from Mr. IIANNA, nor receiving any answer to hi,,

last proposition, Mr. BURXKTT addressed REN—"hai,3,Mt

the following note to Mr. I IANNA, through

the Post

office, which letter was taken out

TXBRE HAUTE, Ang. 6th, 1860. HON. B. W. HAHNA:

Dear Sir: On receipt of, my, last communication to TOD, July 27th, 1870, in relation-jo a joint djactMriniyyou promised to furnish tte a written answer thereto, on the neitmorning, by leaving it with T. C. Boutin, Eeq.j'gt the Terre Haute Honae Mating that you were compelled to leave Terre Haute, the next morning, to be absent until Thursday, August 4th, and that you could do nothing further in relation to the Blatter till your return. -.

I am informed that yon Iia write an answer, on the evening of July 27th,. to my proposition and left it at the Terre

.your awwar nor hare 1 haard from you

since. Having waited now two days beyond the time fixed by yourself, and feeling convinced that a joint discussion cannot belied between the Congressional candidates, except on Mr. Voorhees' own terms I now, on behalf of Mr. Dunn, agree Jo your proposition for one discussion each connty, to commence about twelve days before the election, at either lerre Haute or Gosport, and neither candidate to make any other speeches than the joint discussion after the discussion commences.

Hoping to hear from you at an early period, 1 am Respectfully yours,

L. A. BURNETT.

Nothing has yet been heard from Mr. N.^NNA in reply to Mr. BURNETT'S last proposition, nor in answer to Mr. BURNETT'S acceptance of Mr HANNA'S proposition, although Mr. VOORIIEES, for the last three days, has been in the city. The matter rests here.

From Ac Daily Express of Tuesday.]" ~*f The War. v'

Tka daliiih of the Prussian victories of Ftiday and SaUirday are anxiously waitfur. Our dispatches of hist night are wanting in detail. Enough, however, is given to show tJiat the Prussian troops have been victorious and that the entire Prussian line lias now a strong foothold on Frcnch soil. The situation as given by telegraph, at thi.3 writing, is as follows: The extreme Prussian right, under Prince CHARLES has been advanced to Sierck, a small town in France, about ten, mile3 from Thionville, and the whole right advancing proportionally, puts the army of CHARLES in a menacing attitude

Met*. General STEINMETZ has advanced the centre from Saarbruck to the of Forhach inside of French

MiiW the CBOWN PRINCE is be|Mau and Btrasburg and

tkreateataji the latter. The Enperer NAPOLEON reported sick at Chalons, Surinam*. The French troops are represented as retreating and concentrating at Nancy. Paris is fearfully exeited and everything looks as though the Emperor ha# made a fearful mistake in bringing on.the war with Prussia. \r p., ». ,*

HON. JOHN A. BINOHAM, in reply to the inquiry of a correspondent in Guernsey county who represents that "the great body of the people" in that county desires his renomination to Congress, writes:

I can only say that while I have not sought, and do not seek, a renomination I shall count it my duty to cordially accept the action of the people in the premises, whatever it may be."

SAYS the Cincinnati Chronicle: "The steam puflfs of the vessels that bear away from Civita Vecchia the last battalion of the French troops are not more rapidly dissipating into thin air than is the Pope's temporal power and the people's belief in the doctrino of his inf llibility. Italy is at the opening door of anew era. Her form of religion may be ^preserved, but brokan of despotic power, the people will breathe free under it, and Italy will have a chance to come up the graduated scale of national position. Let us give her Godspeed, and be thankful if, with all the evils which the war will cause, one country at least will reap a heritage of increased civil and religious liberty."

The cavalry of Wurtemburg captured theenemv's stores and four pieces of artillery at Reichstafei.-. Dead and wounded covered the route of the retreating army. This morning we have occupied Haguenau, evacuated by the enemy. German troops hold both banks of the Saar, having occupied Saareguiniue and Forbach after a slight resistance by the French.

THE LONDON TIMES C',

ascribes the French-disaster to the Emperor's obstinacy in refusing sound military advice, and to his illness. 'Ihe Times says parties in France will make the Emperor pay the penalty of his ill success. His name is already ignored in acts by which the Regency seek to •ally the people. Things arrange themselves, as if he was not expected to resume his power as if testing how he may be dispensed with altogether. The only question is who shall first utter the word—abdication.

THE EMPEROR'S MISMANAGEMENT.

Edmund About writes from the field bitterlv condemning the Emperor's mismanagement. He says: "Havingdeclared the war, he let the Prussians begin it. True, nei her party was ready, yet the French lost twenty days in useless marching and countcr-nnrcliing.

They have a strong ground to occupy in regard to the honest collection and proper application of the United States revenues since tho accession of President Grant. They have strong ground to occupy on the Funding Bill and the rapid rate at which they are paying the National ddbt.

"Tovr» TAIK," in the Indianapolis Mirror, makee these sensible remarks: The nMiagi* attendance upon the editorial excursion of our State Association impels T. T. to again remark upon the growing disposition of our editorial friends to avoid "dead head" arrangements and free blows generally to pay their way like other gentlemen, and to have other gentlemen pay for their "pufls" or do without. This is as it should be. There are few cases in which editorial courtesies—so called—are extended and received with profit, or even satisfaction. Railroad passes are well enough when properly bestowed, but railroad men will tell you that they are harrassed most for passes by those having the least claim upon them, and so it is with tickets of admission to theaters, concerts, etc. But while it may be proper for an editor in person—not by deputy— to ride free over a line of railroad, and equally proper for a reporter to visit a theatre without cost, there is no shadow of propriety in the abuses of these privileges, or "in the notorious sponging of hats, clothing, cigars, drinks, etc., which formerly disgraced the profession. Editors may not have the moral courage to refuse such favors when tendered, bat they will find a hearty satisfaction in paying" for them genejaliy.

Fording under Difficulties. in the absence of bridges, timber, boats, fords, and inhabitants, it may not be uninteresting to stale the manner in irhich this slough was crossed. An impromptu method of making soundings was first adopted, which consisted in one of the party divesting himself of his clothes, and cautiously advancing into the water. Repeated experiments showed that, owing to the slowness of the current, the fine alluvium which the water held in suspension during times of flood was deposited in the bed and along the swamp of the slough, and that anything but a crane wauld rapidly sink into it, until a permanent sticking-point was attained one narrow place, however, being exempt from this objection. But as the subsequent experiments of the diver soon demonstrated that ten or fifteen feet of water covered the middle of the bed, the con elusion was inevitable that it could not be forded with a buggy and its accompanying baggage, however readily the horses, mules, and jackasses might be able to swim it. Captain Jcwett then declared that we must make a raft to float across everything but the animals, and that they should float themselves. All hands proceeded to cut dow tales, which were secured together in bundles, like sheaves of wheat, having three withes to each bundle. The first bundle having a rope tied to each end, .yas launched, and successive ones laid slue by side, until a width of about ten feet was obtained the ropes were then lapped over so as to secure all together, then a second layer was placed transversely, and all were firmly bound in one mass. All ready, the buggy was pushed on to the raft, the baggage placed within it, and tl Captain, with a picked crew of two men, went aboard. They were pushed off by those on shore, who payed out a tow-line, while a gentle westerly wind soon conveyed the novel craft to the opposite shore. After unloading, the vessel was pulled back, one man being left to catch the animals after they came over. The horses and mule3 swam across like swans but the two asses stood like their famed ancestor, under the bludgeon strokes and curses of Balaam They were petted and coaxed, whipped and pushed and kicked, and they received all oitlier sorts of persuasive arguments to convince them of the necessity of swiming over, but to no purpose. Then it was concluded to ferry them over. The eldest jackass was brought in front of the tulc boat. Captain Jewett took charge of his head, which had a halter on for a handle. Jenkins and myself passed a rope round his hind-quarters, so as to raise that part upward and onward, while the Judge took hold of his tail, in order to swing the brute round in any desirable direction. Now John did not weigh over two hundred pounds, yet it was not without extraordinary exertion that we succeeded in lifting him upqn the boat. At last, however, he stood, like a condensed Colossus, on the centre of the raft, with his head covered by canvas, while the Captain's arms firmly, yet affectionately, encircled his neck. "Let go the hawser," and the noble barge with its precious freight, slowly iloated across the tranquil water as it struck the opposite shore, the canvass was taken from John's head, that he might realize the fact over which we were exulting, that men can always conquet asses. But John did not think so for, giving a short bray of defiance, and turning suddenly round, he made a plunge, carrying the rope among his legs, and entirely disappearing beneath the water. For a few seconds nothing was visible but the rippled surface, .then there slowly loomed up above the circling waves, two long, rotating eyes, which preceded for some moments, the appearance of the bead. An audible snort, and a stream of water, which caused one of our nautical friends to cry out, "There she blows indicated the vitality of the brute and anon he struck out for his original starling-point, towing the barge a fid the disconsolate Captain, who vainly endeavored to port helm and make landing on the receding shore. In a few minutes John stood erect on the identical spot where he was lifted on the raft and lie gave his tail a knowing shake, which boie marvelous concord with the expression of his Ci ii'cnance, which seemed to tell us that ru and asses were tolerably even balanced institutions!

Leaving John to recuperate, we directed attention lo Yorick, and concluded to pack him, like a dressed hog, with hoofs toward the celestial regions. So I10 was carried on the raft, laid on his back under strong protestations, whilG his legs were secured together by coils of the rope, so that he could be easily freed in case he should get overboard. In this position, one person took charge of each pair of legs, .one had a strong grip on his snout and one ear, while the fourth held on to his tail. Thus we imagined that brule force had been entirely overcome. We pushed off, and slowly and quietly got more than half-way over. But Yorick see ned to comprehend our exultant looks, and began to squirm and twist. By virtue of some little irregularity in the surfaoe of onr deck, he succeeded in getting his head over the edge of the boat, ana the legs of one of his guardians into the water. "Long time in even scales the battle hung." The brute made another spasmodic struggle, which brought his ccntre of gravity so near the edge of the boat that it became evident he mast go overboard. He who held on to the head, not being ambitious to accompany the ass on such an uncertain journey, quietly loosed his Hold and stepped back as Yorick turned a FOmersanlt and disappeared. Fortunately, his head came tip in the right direction and forgetting his asinine disposition in the excitcment of the moment, he made for the light shore and reached it in safety. Like proceedings were next institute*! against John, which were successful in bringing him within our new lines.—From Waytides of Nature," in the Overland Monthly for August.

Work in Lynn, Mass. ———

now about 2,500 men out of work in Lynn, and most of them have been so since the beginning of the season—about July l-—and some of them from five to eight weeks. The manufacturers, it seems, have an organization called the Board of Trade, as a sort of offset to the Crispins. This Board includs [sic] all the large manufacturers, nearly all of whom are concerned in the present troubles. The small manufacturers do not dislike the state of afairs, for it throws the filling of orders into their hands, and the way their machinery was humming yesterday showed they were going into the harvest with sleeves tucked up.

Some of them, however, who depended on the larger concerns for motive power to drive their machinery, had to stop for want of such power which was discontinued by the stoppage of the larger shops. With a view of getting at all the facts of the troubles between the shoe manufacturers and their employes in the city of Lynn, yesterday afternoon one of our reporters visited that place, and interviewed some of the parties on both sides, and in all fairness we lay the information thus gained before our readers. We give the manufacturers' views first, because some of the points are contradicted by the Crispins. "The whole apparent difficulty," said a prominent manufacturer, "may be summed up in a few words. The shoemakers are asking half a cent more for lasting than the manufacturers are willing to pay. But, remember, the half cent is not the whole difficulty. There is a wheel within a wheel in this affair.

"If the demand now made by the lasters is complied with, the other branches of the trade—the beaters, beaters out, shavers, finishers, &c.—will next present their demands for advance, which will also have to be complied with, until the wheel comes round to the lasters again, who will start up for another increase, and so it will continue without end. The issue will have to be made now, and whichever party prevails will be the master of the situation. If," continued the gentleman, "I had a man looking after my horse, to whom I paid $10 a week, but concluded to send the horse up the country to pasture, and the service of the man being thus unnecessary, but wishing to give him something to do, suppose I took him into my workshop and taught him in three months a part of the business at which he could earn from $13 to $15 a week—in six months' time that man would be a striker."

Another manufacturer said that in addition to the disagreement on general rates, the men wanted one cent extra, for putting on tapsoles, a matter which really involved no more labor than was required to put on single soles. The application of machinery in enabling manufacturers to supply the largest order at the shortest notice has revolutionized the business, and by dividing up the work done by hand in such a way as to keep one man constantly at lasting and trimming, gave an opportunity for greater quickness and proficiency in those departments, and enabled a smart man to make higher wages than ever before. The price sought to be now established by the manufacturers was, it was true, from one cent to one and a half cent lower than last year, but this was rendered necessary by competition and other exigencies of the trade.

The men were, many of them working for small manufacturers, and getting the full rates they asked, and even more; but they could not even then make so much as in large factories at lower rates, because they had to change from one kind of work to another. The men, at the price proposed to be paid, could make from $15 to $25 per week, or an average of about $15 all the year round. In Beverly the shoemakers received only 4 1/2c. for the work it was agreed by the manufacturers of Lynn to give 5 1/2c. for. It was hoped, however, that an arrangement would be come to with the strikers to-day, and put an end to the difficulty which had already lasted for five or six weeks. This firm was about the largest in Lynn, and usually employed about 150 men, but not one was at work there. ———<>———

MU. SEWARD TO VISIT ORIENTAL COUNTRIES. WASHINGTON, Aug. S. Secretary Robeson has addressed a letter to Mr. Seward, at Auburn, saying that 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 or waters where he proposed to go. The Secretary has given in detail tlie names and localities now or contemplated distinction of various vessels, and names of their commanders, and informs Secretary Seward that he has issued orders to aJl of the officers, to extend to him all facilities and courtesies within their power, and concludes his letter by saying, "I am sure they will be happy to do any thing in their power for a gentleman so distinguished, but I have thought proper in justice 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 othcr'of them durinc his entire absence. It is expected he will be absent until next Spring. In the meantime it is understood that he will ado rasa unofficial letters to the Secretary o'State and Secretary of the Navy, on the state of affairs in Oriental countries.

The Secretary of State has addressed letters lo the United States Ministers and Consuls in China and Japan, advising them of the intended visit of Seward, arid suggesting that all proper attention be paid him whenever he may come in their vicinity. Seward will also do all in liis power to arrange with Oriental merchants 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 Chinese authorities induced not to allow any more women to emigrate to California from Hong Kong.

Real's Execution.

From the barbarism of yesterday we turn with disgust. V'e need not say again that we had little sympathy with the condemned, and none whatever with his crime, no matter what its provocation nor have we ai.y with the unprofitable taking of human life Lly the forms of law. Suppose the death penalty were not in force, and John Real, immediately after the slaying of Smedick, had been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The result would have been that long aco he would have cea. ed to be a power for evil. How is it now? A practice as imbed 1c as it is inhuman has changed the malefactor into a mart\ has made a hero of an assassin. It ha elevated and dignified crime and created a sympathy for the criminal which is so far creditable to our age in that it at least marks its progress in humanity. There was a time when the masses delighted in man's inhumanity to man, but we have arrived at the happier era when all such exhibitions make millions mourn.

It has been our constant argument against the death penalty that it defeats its object. We presume no one will venture to applaud any penalty that is intended simply as a punishment of crime, or deny that the object of its infliction must be exclusively the protection of society. How is it with the death penalty? Do "murders decrease as hangings multiply? Tlie advocates of .lhe gallows have often been asked to furnish affirmative proof on the=e points, and have as often failed to produce it. On the other hand, States where the death penalty ia abrogated are comparatively free from homicides. Certainty, rather than extremity of punishment, is the surest antidote to criminal offenses. Every execution makes p'ainer that it is a blunder, if not a crime. Every murder trial makes clearer the increasing repugnance of juries to find a verdict of guilty in capital cases. Every day and in every way it is becoming more apparent that a great crime against society is that relic of the dark ages which converts the "dastardly villain" of the hourof his crime into the "poor unfortunate" of the moment of his execution.—N. T. Tribune.

A GHOST STORY.

1 Shadorr aad A «roan"4n Hie "Cave of the "Winds."

^/^Icofrespondent of th® New York tells the followingif7writing from (Niagara: .- i:- -s® .:It is a genuine ghest ,sftry that I am about to relate to you. It has been kept rather quiet here, but the incident occurred nevertheless. You probably are aware of the whereabouts and nature of the celbrated Cave of the Winds. Of course you are, for nobody ever heard of the Falls without having heard of this wonderful cave, and nobody ever visited Niagara without being ur^ed by, their friends to make the descent into the Cave of the Winds. This descent is about as inevitable here as is the ascent of Trinity spire in New York. It is a feat that has got to be done, whether you feel like it or not.

Well, as I was about to relate, one afternoon not long since a couple of young men started off to pay homage to this aquatic grotto. They left the hotel late in the afternoon, and arrived back again shortly afler dusk, and it was not until after tea that they divulged the following account of their amphibious trip. They told it to but a few, and wished nothing further said of the singular incident until they had been down a second time to either dispel or corroborate their story. Being old hands at that sort of thing, they had made the trip without a guide, and they claim upon entering the cave they saw a shadow, in the form of a man, Hit across the dark interior. Owing to their uncertain footing,they were unable to concentrate their gaze in one direction long enough to discern any object, and therefore passed through and out around in front of the falls. Upon reaching the open air, and while standing on the lit ll wooden bridge facing the immense sheet of water, both of them heard, o- thought they heard, a suppressed moan behind the falls, and, to assure themselves that no human being was on the spot, they quickly retraced their steps, and again entered the cave. No sooner had the cloud of darkness enveloped them than they again saw the figure. It seemed to arise from the bottom of the interior of the cave, and then move slowly across their path, and disappear through the tailing waters, and at the samo time another groan more distinct than the first was heard. Not stopping to listen or to look, however, the young adventurers made all haste to get out of the cave and tip to a more firm foot path than the slippery rocks. When they reached the top of staircase they ascertained that no one had descended since tliemseves, and that there was nobody down there when they stftried, so their shadow could not very well have been solid substance. It was certainly "phantasy of the mind" of some kind. Further developments, however, arc looked for before we shall settle down to the belief that the place is haunted by spirits of another world. shS

THE GERMAN WAR.

Lcllcr From the Old Hero, General Willicli. From the Indianapolis Journal,]

We are permitted to make the following extracts from a letter received by Senator Morton from General August Willicli, who is now in Europe. They will be read with much interest by his many admirers and countrymcn in this State:

TOKGAU, PRUSSIA, July 19, 1870. Here I am among lhe organizing labors of an army of about a million of men of all arms, which began on the fifteenth, and will be finished in all its-details on the twenty-second. Tlie machinery is so complete that this tremendous labor can scarcely be perceived on the surface. Ileg ments, brigades of Infantry, cavalry, batteries and pontoon trains appear as by cnchanlmcnt. The whole nation men, women, and even children, appear to be happy that the crisis has come, which, they think, will relieve them from many evils. A quiet confidence in themselves is prevailing, but

110

boasting.

Officers and civilians 1 have heard discuss quietly the means of victory, even should the first two or three great battles be lo.-.t. Now the fruits of a severe military and civil education of the Prussians will, I am sure, show more brilliantly than in 1SG£, and after this murderous gambler, Louis Napoleon, callcd by the Pope "the most Christian Monarch," shall have finished his abominable career, the time for reforms in Europe will be gin.

It is not surprising that the declaration of the infallibility of the Pope_ and the declaration of war by Catholic_ Fiance against Prussia, the only political and military power of Protestantism on the European Continent, fall together?^ The political power of hierarchy will be broken with the power of France. A victory of the Prussian and German armies will be just as well, a do.'eat of those dark powers in the United Stales, which try to alienate our Catholic fellow citizens from those institutions which "orm the veiy basis of our repablic. We can well say that the battles 'gained on the Rhine and at Paris will save us so many intestinal struggles in our own country.

9 0

It appears that public opinion in the United States settles more and more down to the conviction that their only true, reliable, and materially and intellectually profitable ally in Europe will be the German nation.

If this war should hist, longer than tluee or four months, which can only take place in case of one or more defeats of the German armies, it is very probable that the United States will interfere or at least allow their .German-American citizens to pariicipatc. Then, what (icr-man-American could live amongst other nations if his nation should be crushed by the boasting I'rench?

Wc understand that the least the United States can do in'the beginning is to secure the freedom of the sea for civil commerce against piiacy.

Prussia is obliged toikeep an at my of observation of 100,000 men in reserve against the possible evil intentions of Catholic Austria.

Respectfully, etc., AUGUSrT WII.LICII.

The Yivandicr?.

A traveling correspondent of (he London Daily Telegraph gives tills lively picture ofa French vivindicrc:

On the field it-sclf the only women whose presence is tolerable arc tlm cantinier!*. These good dames—for the ma-jority-of them are sturdy, gypsy-looking women of mature age, and by no means resembling the coquetti-li rim ad teres who are "true to the corp.'' in burlesques or masquerades—uie having a lino time of it just now. Yestciday, us a regiment of the line was marching through the nibourg'St. Antoine, the crowu-espied the viiandicre bringing up lhe rear of the battalion in a vehicle remarkably like a washerwoman'.- cart hailing, let us say, from North End, Fulham, S. W.—the chubby horse attached to which she was driving with her own fair hands, which wee as brown as .berries. The cart was as full as a ste.vai d's cabin on board a steam packet with gi.od things, from Lyons sausages to brandy, from sardines to kirschwasser. There are not many ilorLsts' shops in the Faubourg St. Anloinc but in the twinkling of an eye the crowd began to pell the little woman in the cart wilh bouquets, and great hulking fellows in blouses came pressing lo the shafts to pat the horte and shake the vivandiire's hand. She took off her liltle glazed hat—a man-of-war's man's hat— with abroad brim and a low crown, decked with tri-colorcd ribbons, and beneath which I grieve, for the sakeof the picturesque, to say that she wore a mob cap— and cried out "Vive l'Emperetir! vive la France!" in.a voice so gruff that it would have done honor to a drum-major.

A kindly hearted little woman this, for in the front of the cart were at least seventy knapsacks which she was carrying for the rank and file—probably her regimental pets. A gallant little woman, assuredly, and with a.stirring history of her own, perhaps. Her grandmother marched into Grand Cairo, and when the battle-day was done administered comfort from her. brandy keg to those who lay fainting in the shadow of the Pyramid. Her mother marched into Madrid, into Home, into Vienna, into Berlin. She kindled her short pipe from the smoking embers of the Kremlin, and was bayoneted by a Pruseian in the bloody flight from Waterloo and the vivandiere herself has been at'the Malakoff,- at Magenta, at Solferino, at l'uebla. 1 fancy that I saw her there, with her brown face and twinkling black eyes, driving her little wain as cheerily as now. Why not? Who does not remember Iteranger'r stirring refrain, "Rataplan, plan, plan! So.'diU -, voila Catin!" And Ca' in, !,l- cuiitiiirure, is the only woman, I take i:, who is not out of place on a ba'tle field."

Political Notes.

Another term of Montgomery Blair in Congress Is apprehended. The Democracy of Georgia hold their State Convention at Atlanta on the 18th inst.

The Democrats of Colorado have nominated George W. Miller, of Denver, for delegate to Congress.

Cassius M. Clay is to speak in Colorado Territory, in advocacy of Republicanism, in the approaching canvass.

All the States except Oiegon, NewHampshire, Connecticut and Kliode Island hold elections this fall. United States Senators are to be chosen in sixteen States.

The Democratic newspapers predict defeat for Hon. A.- W. Taylor, the Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty-first Pennsylvania District, (Covode's,) based

the assumption that

Mr. Covode is the only man who can carjy the district for the Republicans.
