Thoy issuéd n call of tho formers of “tho -~ Btate . to meot in convention at Millwankeo, Aug. 21, to consider somo plan for indopondent political oction, in view of tho mability and indisposition of eithor tho Ropublican or Democratio partios to dent with thelr griovaucos.. A simllar-con- vontion is to bo held by tho farmers of Iows at Doa Moines, a woolk proviously. The Boston Globe publishes o quasi-official statement of the I'rosident’s views of the salary Lill pnssed by tho Inst Congress. According to (his statemont, tho PTresidont did think.thnt that 2100,000 por year wag not loo much psy to ouablo the Prosidont to support tho dignity of, Lis position, but when interrogated as to his own préferences, he invariably inclined to tho lower figure finally hgroed upon; viz: 860,000, *This, however,” tho report continnes, *did no violence to his leading views, that the President in offico should not bo forward in the diecussion of such n question, and ‘should not eo act as to subject any Presidont coming aftor him to unfair comparieons, but leave him or her as freo from ombnrragsing precedents as Prosident Grant found himeelt.” Bo it appears that ono of the rensons why the ,I’rea'ldnnt did not veto tho snlary-grab was to avold embarrassing the Com- ing Woman.

Bheop gold an ot averago decline of 25e por 100 lbs, THE FARMERS IN POLITIC, The sontimont of the Grangers in Towa, and, wo think, to o eonsiderablo extent n this State, Is that whon thoy go into polities it shatl bo on an independent base of operations, disentangled from ol former party alliances. Novertheloss, & number of pergous, offico-holders and ox- oMce-holders, are afiliating with the Farmora' Movemont with the expross purposo of steering it into the picket lines of the Republican party. Tho arguments agninst the formatlon of the Anti-Monopoly Party, which is apparently under full headway in Iowa and making docided progress in other Westorn Btates, may be summed up under the two following heads: 1, The Republican party is ready to sssume tho is- suos which tho farmors demand as o partof the publio poliey of (ho futuro, and, having its organization porfected, 'is Iu n bottor condi- tion to carry them out successfully than any now party would bo ; 2. That the organiza- tion of & new Anti-Monopaly party would givo corlain advantages to mon who had formorly be- longed to the Domocratic party. Weo will nssume it to bo true that tho Republi- enn party will promine to carry out the wishes of tho farmars, 60 far a8 it can ascortain thom, T'he first obstaclo encountered will bo this: A party cannot accomplish o worlk which It wes not organized to accomplish,—that Is, if thore be any. considerablo resistance, The Republican party was organizod to doal with slavery, This it has dono, and dono effectually, It was not organized to deal with any othor wrong or sbuso, and It cannot do go offcctually, beeauso the promoters of thiose wrongs and abuses bolong to the party, and havo just ag many rights in it an anybody olso hus, But, If the party should idontify it- polt with {be farmora fn the mational question, will this fullll tho purpose ex- pressod under the form * Anti-Monopoly"? Is farmors, incommon with the othor pooplo of thin country, aro sufforing? Is tho railroad abuso tho only abiac of whlch tho farmors com- plain? The Republican patty will remain vir- tdally what it {8'now, with" tho, singlo excoption that 1t will add to its party platforms o plank do- | nouncing railronds in gonoral torms, and evon thig plauk fa likely to bo treated | in.much the samo ‘mannor se that which favored Civil- Sorvico Roform . aud . honost Administra- tion. Tho: vgamo mon: would atill he in conirol of * parly movements and tho publio places. It wontd still bo tho party that provided tho’ onibrmous jand-grants which contituted tho vory cornor-stono on which tho principal rallrond abusos of tho dayhavo boon orocted. Tho samo party that engincored tho Oradit Mobillor frauds would bo intorestod with tho defoat of that vory spoclos of railroad extor- tion of which it firet set tho most glaring ox- awpto. Publio affaira would romain undor the control of tho samo mon who are responsible for tho ealary-grabs, Fort Buelling #windles, Union Pacific transactions, town and county bond subsidies, high tariff oxtortions, and the varlous other spocies of corruption which bave beon dovoloped - within tho past four yonrs undor tho wing of the Ropubli- can party. Admitting, thon, that a party organ- ization 8o thoroughly identified with knavery, in spito of tho goneral honesty and good in- tontlons of tho mass of its mombars, would suc- cessfully carry out tho wishos of the farmers in rogard to rallrond abuses (and thismust stiike every impartinl man 88 excoedingly improbable), can the farmors hopo to cscape other abuses at their hands that require to bo doglt with quite 88 summarily aa railrond abuses ? Tho allegntion that o mow Anti-Monopoly party would turn to the advantnge of men who lind formorly been Democrats, is eo irrelovant, puorile, ‘and ridicnlous, that 1t . scarcoly merits » sorious auswor. In tho first place, it is not necossarily true. The succossful formation of & now party necesserily includes recruiting among the ranks of all oxisting parties. Tho farmors who are opposed to monopoly aro cor- tainly not confined to Democratio farmers, clso they would not bo an objoct of torfor to the pol- fticians, The probubility is that most of thom aro Ropublioans, and, if thoy go into & new par- ty, it will bo bocaueo the party with which they have been ncting is in part. responsiblo for their progont griovances. . The formation.of tho Republican party did not turn oxclusivoly to tho'advantage of the Whig party or Amorican pirty, " both of which it ‘may bo maid to havo supplauted. It .sociréd tho co-opera- tlon. of .tho "better class of Domocrats. Tho farmers of tho Northwost have beon more gen- ernlly Ropublicans than Democrats, and, if they form an Anti-Monopoly party, it is moro likely to offor its advantages to men who had formerly beon Ropublicins than tothose whobad formerly beon Demogtata. But, supposo thonow partyshall offor facilities to mon who have heretoforo boon’ Domoerats, whero is tho harm'to tlio purposos of thio now.movoment ? As anti-monopoly party will staft oub with definito’ objocts in view. If it sholi bo successful in clectiug its mon, thoy will not dare, whother they hove formerly boo Demacrats or Ropublicans, to broak faith witls tho men or principles -thoy shall represent. A ditinct nod separato political organization -would bo opposed to tho Democratio party s thorono othor furm of monopoly from whioh the muich a8 to tho Republican party, and all theso who should net with it wonld be obliged to break oft from thoir formor political aitachments, just 18 those'who joined the Republican party broke off from the Democratic, Whig, ‘or American partios. 3 7 ) It is thus. obvious that tho reason- ing.with which Republican politicians oppose tho formation of ' an antl-monopoly party is ‘uttorly fallnclous.. It is & mero make-shift.. The truo motive that prompts it is o desiro £3 Leop the Democratic party alive aaa pormauont bug-a-boo. No roform is possiblo whilo thesa two old partics cumber the ground. Tho Democratic party s no other causo of being than to keop tho Ro- publican party in powoer, and the Republican par- ty has no othor cause of boing than to keop the Democratic party out of poswe; 'THE SBTATE STREET ‘OUTRAGE, Wo print o lotter calling attontion to a recent disgracetal, snd possibly criminal, outrago, which, by tho decision of Justico Boyden, las baon passod without anything liko a full investi- gation,” Tho allegation was that a young Fronch girl, spoaking English very imperfootly, roturn- ing at niglit to hor home, was met by & mombor of ono of tho soveral gangs of privato’ polico ; that this man stopped her, and compellod hor to toll him where she was going ; that then, ropre- senting himeolf to be a policoman, ho conducted her to & dry goods store on Btato strost, tho door of which was opened by a olork; that the girl was taken into the store, and thore foreibly outraged by the two men, - While thoy were g0 engaged, an actual policoman becamo o witnoss of part of the procoeding, and, upon their leaving tho store ho arrested them all. The Justico before whom tho cnso was tried heard the story of the girl, who was alone and friend~ less, ond discharged tho ncoused bacauso sho bad not made sufficient outery. The accused woro defended by counsel; tho Stete hind no rop- resontative. Tho dofonso insisted that what took placo was with tho consent of the girl. It was & alrong point in confirmation of tho girl'a voluntary going with one of tho brutes, that sho wasa stranger and he wns an officor; it was oqually strong agsinat the dofense that tho offiger had, by his own confession, aban- doned hia duty to commit an unlawful act. Wo are aware that the legal crimlunlity of the act is Involved in the mattor of consont; but there was nothing in the ciroumstances to warrant'the presumption of consont, and much to ropel it, and wo cannot help regarding the decision of the Justico as oxiremely roproliensible, ‘This cnsois too aggravated to be permitted to rost where it is. Thls girl, ropresented to be a friendless person, a strangor, speaking a slrango tongue, is entitled to tho mamo protection ihat I8 oxtonded to any other person. It lor story bo true, tliero ought to bo mon laving spirlt cuogh to avongo hor wrongs by ecoing that the porpotra- tors bo brought to justice, and sont to tho Poni- tontlary. Tho officers of tho law should talo cognizance of this accusatlon, and seo to it that tho facts are brought to tho attontion of tho Grand Jury, eond that the accusod shall nob escapo in the monntime, Assuming the gitl's slory to bo true, tho cnso bocomas o porsonal ono with every honest and respectable citizen, No man with tho loast rvespect for womon can congont that such a chavge as this ehall go without tho fullest oxamination, It that examination shall acquit the acensed, all will pe well ; but If it ehall not acquit thom, and thoy shall provo to have boon guilty of thiy outrago as charged, thon thoy should bo mado to suffer the extremest poualty for tho brutal, Infamous crimo. Ts not this cnso of sufflciont magnitude to engago tho httontion of tho Bate's Attornoy, nnd to onlist his oarnost offoris to dlgcovor tho real facts, and, it thero be gu!ll, to vindlonto publio order and deconcy, and overy mentiment of manhood, by bringing tho villaina to justico? ] ey ————— AN UREAS' Tho latest bullotin from Washington is that Honry A. Wiso {8 & condidato for tho ofiico of Govornor of Virginie, and that his intonded polioy Is go satisfactory that it has been advised that Lo bo solected as tho Administration candi- dato. Mr. Wiso hoa hnd nlong nnd somowhnt remarkeblo publio lifo. Ho was born in 1800, and {8 now fu his 67tk yoar, His family lived in Accomao County, which Is part of tho long po- ninsuts which forms tho enstorn shore of Cliesa- ponke Bay. 1o was not, however, oducated in Virginia, Lut was sent to Ponnaylvanis, and roturned at thoe ago of 10, just at tho close of the memorablo contost botwoon Adams and Jackson, in which Adams was chosen Presidont by the Houso of Roprosontatives. Ho sottled in what is now West Virginia, whero he was admitted to the bar,and went thonce to Tan- nossco. HigstayinTonnosscowas ahort and, after Jaokson's olection tothe Prosidoncy, ho returnod to his nativo county. That portion of the Btato waa pooplod by a rough and unlettored clnss, most of thom being oyatermon or connected with tho local trado and commerco of tho Bay. At s lator day Wiso boastod that thero wns noither a school-honse nor & newspaper in his district Hia return to his old home was followed by his immediato olection to Congross, This was in 1832, at tho Presidontin! election of thiat yoar in which ho had supported Gen, Jackeon, Ho wan thon 20 yenrs of sge, with a slight physioal frame, having o great command of Isngusge, and ho turnod out an orator of florce and vohe- mont style. ITe was remarkable, and is yot, for his powers of vituporation, Boforothe adoption of tho Ono-Hour rule in tho ITouse, ho was accustomed to mako spoeches cotoring two or threo doys. Ho had not long boen in Congross before ho quarreled with Jackeon, and bocame o intoneo a hator a8 he had boen a friend of tho Presldent. During the oxciting scones in . Coh- gross growing .out. of tho Bank logislation, ‘Wise bore a noisy, disorderly and conspicuous part. Ho wns coustantly in o broil. John Quincy Adams was o spocial object of attack and donunciation. Ho attached himsolf to tho Whig party, and was the anthor of the campaign motto of that party, *'Tho union of the Whigs for the sakeof the Union.” Ho was engaged in sevoral porsonal fightr, and was o prominent actor in'the momorable Cilley-Gravos dual, in which r. Gl Ioy, s Domocratio momber from Maiue, was mur- derod. Wise continued to sorvo in Congress during tho administrations of Van Buron, Harrison, and tho Whig party Laving becomo comploto, hio wag ono of tho fow mombora of Congross who adhored to Tylor; among tho others woro . Calob Cushing, of DMassachusotta; W, W. Trwin, of Ponusylvanin, and Georgo IL. Profit, of Indiana. Tylor rowarded all theso porsons with foreign 1wissions, sending Wiso, first to France, and then to Drazil, Irvin to Donmark, and Cushing to China, To romained in Brazil until 1847, Ho had now bocome a Domoorat, and confined him- Bolf toSitate politics from that time up to 1855, whon ho was tho candidato of tho Demo- cratio party for Governor agninst Thomas 8. TFlournoy, (he candidate of the united Whigs and Know-Nothings. Tho contost was an unusually bitter one, attracting groat attontlon in all parts of the country, and rogulted in Wise's clootion. o was - Govornor Yorry in 1859, and, in person, with Lis staff, in- cluding J. Willos Booth, visited tho seene of the war. 'Sbould Honry A. Wiso bo now the Ropub- lican candidato for Governor, it will sound rather atrangoly to hoar his supporters singing John Drown’s body Hes a moulderiug in the gravo But Wise gocs marching on ! Glory! Glors ! Ifallelijoh1 Having hanged John Brown, and mado the ut= most glory of ‘tho act, Wiso bacamo an advocato of sccossicn. Ho was loud in his indignant protests against tho invasion of the enacred soiy of Virginia. Ho volunteerod in the war and was made Brigadior-Gonoeral, nnd sorved in that ca- pacity until tho closo of tho robollion. During this period ho was 28 uneasy as over, and gave Jeft Davis moro troublo than ho gave to Androw Jackson thirty years hofora, C Thoso aro the antecedents of tha prospectiva candidato for Governor of Virginis. He hassur~ vived nonrly all tho historical champions of sla- vory, Ho was one of thaoriginal “fire-oators,” tho mon whoso remedy for all griovances was blood. Tho pages of tho Congroesionnl record of his day avo filled with tho foulest spoechos that over disgraced tho dobatos of Congross. Thoro was no man pure enough to escapo bis calumny, Ho is now old, end secks & popular vindication of his past publiclife. With the conservatives ho has no possible chance ; the negroos, left to thomselves, would roject him with horror, so tho old mau, backed up by tho guorrilla Mosby, undertalkes to secure Lis nomination by n sug- gestion from Washington that tho Ropublicans of Virginie, whito and black, shall vote for the oxccutioner of John Drown, and make him Governor of reconstructed Virginia, But it in rathor au an unquict fossil than os a reconstructed robel that we should regret to soe Wiso oleoted Governor of Virginia, What the 01d Dominion wants i3 young blood and now idens. Whatever may bo Wise's prosont politi- cal viows ho Is cust in an antique mould. He belouga to a past agoe. Thero is not the lenst probability that Lo would prove as good sn Executivo as Gov. Walker. THE DULUTH OF THE PACIFIC COART, The towns on the shores of Puget Bound which have hoen bidding agninst oach other for the privilego of boing the torminusof tho North- ern Pacific Railrond have nt Inst ecanod their competition, tho Commission appointed for that purposo having fixed upon Tacoms, an obsoure ' villago of about 100 people, ou Commencoment Doy, ot tho hend of tho Sound. The San Fran- cisco Bullefin contains somo intorosting dotails of tho compotition, and also of the skillful man- nor in which the Commission managod ite busi- noas, T'wo or three yenrs ago, Puget Sound was ngitated by this sama termiual question, Olym- pia, Bteilacoom, Port Townsend, and othor towns bolug the compotitors, Tho contost raged for somo iimo, aud it was finally supposed to have hoon gettled in favor of Olympls, the Railrond Company having accopted a deod from tho town for » traat of land to be dovoted to torminal purposcs. A fow weoks ago, however, the Company uppointed & Commission to go to Puget Sound and locute the terninug , whero it thought boat, - Thoir firat act was to raconvoy the land formorly decded by Olympia for » tormiuys to tho disgusted Olymplaus, who Tyler. In 1844, tho scparation of Tyler from | whon John 'Brown mndo his raid on Harpor's |, -all thereupon mado no farther offorts; Tho Come misston thon'wont to work and Glirrodupa Tivalry botweon Tacoma and Seattlo, ono of tho largost and most flonrishing. towns on the Sound, and :qulotly Walted . for tho bolligoronts to sond in their offors. Tacoma was tho first to do 80, and bid 7,000 acrea of land, worth about £1,000,000. Sonttle **gaw " thic bid, offored tho ssmoamottnt of laud and $100,000 in cash besidos. The hundred forlorn inhsbitants of Tacomn wora too poor to raiso & thousand dollars aploco, and eo it was sapposed that Sonttlo would bo tho torminua, Monnwhile tho Commission clret= Intod rumora that its ngont was buylng lands nbont Btoilacoom with tho view of making that town tho terminus, This by-play of tho Com- misslon had tho desirod effect to spur up tho Iand’ spoculators of Beattlo and Tacomsa into anothor rivalry, which finally rosulted in an offor from the lattor, which Seatilo could mot “raigo,” Tacomn, thorofore, & villago of spcou- Intors, which heia not yot gotinto tho gazottecrs, and was novor boforo hoard of,. 1s ono torminus, while Duluth, a oity of spoculators, i8 tho othor, Tho thriving fowns of Btoilacoom, Bonttle, and Olympia, tho Capital of tho Torritory, which aro already doing a large business in tho fishories and lum- ber, rotire. Weo shall now prolablyhave glowing acconnts from Tacoms, attractivo statomonts of its advantages to settlers, wondorful oxhibits of tho rapid riso of roal estato, descriptions of tho new opera-houso and femalo sominary, andband- somo maps of tho parks, boulevards, shoro drives, and other ornamental possibilities of Ta- coms. Tho speculators must got back tholrcash donntlon and thelr million doflars' worth of land in some monmor. Tho Puget Bound Dispatch, which roprosontod Hoattlo in tho competition, soys that tho contost raiged by ''acoma was only the monagemont of aring of speculators who had boen thrown out of tho Rallrosd Company, hoaded by E. 8. Smith, tho ngent of the old Lake Buporior and Puget Sound ring, alded by the local spoculatora of Ta- coma, and adda the following statoment : By combining with local spoculators thoy have puffed the wild regton covered only by & papor town into an important rival to Boatilo, and offer to the Rallroad Company o largo tract of wild land, benring only & specula~ tivo valuo, sa an offset to tho city proporty at- ready mado valuablo by . the improvoments, thrift, and enterprise of a population numbering nostly 8,000, Seattlo, by its superior natural ad- vontages, has become the commeroial contre of tho Sonnd, with millions of dollars invested in pormanent improvements, whilo Tacoma haa only & esw-mill in tho wildorness, surrounded by logging camps, with no valuo to its lands for town purposes other than would bo given it by railroad improvomenta for tho benofit of specu~ Intors only.” The Kalnma Beacon, whichisa disintorosted party, probably givos a fairer stato- ment. It snys: . o ‘Tacoma is down the Sotind on the east alde, 54 miles north of Olympls, in Plorce County, and contains about 100 inhabltants, Itis situated on Commencos ment Bay, the sito belng on'the weat fide, upon an ob- tuso triangular peninsuls, botwoen tho Narrows aud Commoncement Bay, the baso ling on tao gouth betivoen tho bay sud Narrows, oxtending oast and woat about 6ix miles, and the north and eouth verter, on tho west aldo of tho peninauls, about the samo lougth to Pt, Deflanco. Tho town contains a steam sas-mill ownad by Ianson, Ackorson & Co.; the public schiool, pablic ball, s hotol, and u store, The country sur- rounding it {s woll wooded ; further in the interfor it In open prairio, : . * Consldoring thnt the road must dorive its chiof rovenuo from Portland and Seattle, that Tacomn has at present no trado at all, and that for o long time to come it cau have ouly the empty name of torminus, it has ovidontly paid protty dearly for its whiatlo. TEX ATLANTIC CABLES, The Loudon -Daily News, in a recont issuo, stated that the experimont of light tolograph eables to tho United States will shortly bo prac- . tically tosted, arrangomonts boing in progross to lay a cablo ncross the Atlantic, which will not cost ovor $2,000,000, from which tho inferenco is obvious that tho ratos will bo very materially reduced from the present exorbitant tariff. ‘When the original New York, Newfoundland & -London Telograph Company was flrst orgamzoed, the Newfoundland Government, olated ‘nt tho fact that tho cables would bo Ilauded within its dominions, allowed tho Company to mako its own torms and granted concessions to it which it littlo dresmod. would roturn to plaguo the grantor. It not only gavo the Company & subsidy of a hundred squaro milos of minoral lands, which the Com~ pany ia now selecting, and which are proving to bothe most valuable lands in tho island, but it also granted an exclusive monopoly for fifty yoars, during which no other company was to havo the right of lauding cables on the shores of Nowfoundiaud. The Government, howaver, insortod o clause in tho contract by which the monopoly might bo onded at the expiration of twonty yesrs, provided the Government oon- sonted to purchaso ibo wires, apparatus, and tho working machinory at o cost to ‘o fixed by arbitration. Bince tho contract was made, the original Compauy has smalgamated with the Anglo-American and tho French Oable Compnnios, and in April, 1874, the term of the 1monopoly conses, In viow of the noar approach of this date, the Newfoundland Governmont hns detormiued to put an end to tho monopoly. The feoling among the people is 8o unauimons that no man who doos not- faver it stauds any chance ot boing olected moxt full. It is as much the quostion of tho day in Nowfoundlaud as the Pa- cifflc Railvond sonndals in Caunds, or tho Grange movements in this country. In order to givo the Companics timoly notice, tho Govornmont has announced to thom that, if thoy will abandon their monopoly, it will waivo its privilege of * pro-omption; but, if they ro- fuso, it wall avail iteolf of its pre-omptivo privi- logo, und allow all companles to come thore, charging a tarlf upon tho laud-lines, aod plac- ing tho original Companies upon the samo foot- ing with all others who may succeod thom, Such o course of action would undoubtodly bo ‘of great benelit to the Govornment, as tho rove- nuos would be vory large, aud no telograph com= pany in the futuro would land its cables elso- where, 8a tho route via Nowlound- land is much tho shortest and lomst oxpensive. Liberal as tho polioy of the Gov- ornment fs, in its offortu to-establith froo trado In trang-Atlantlo tolography, it is ovidont thnt it will not provail excopt aftor a uovere struggle in tho courts, and in the oloctions also, which take place next fall. The Company claim that tho actof amalgamation extinguished the original privilogo of pro-omption, and that, in equity, it the Govornment oxorcisos thia privilogo, it is bound to purchsse not nlone the materlal, but also the *“good will," which tho island is not able to do.

Tho result of tho Brimont suit in Paris is a ceution to American journals, Gaston de Drie mont brought swit againet tho American Regis- fer, published in Paris, and the New York Herald, for publishing a statoment of Lis al- leged nbuso of Lis wifo. The Regisler was con- demned to pay 5,000 francs damoges and 1,000 francs fino. Although tho counsel for Mr. Ben- nott showed that ho was in Egypt at tho dato of tho publication complained of, ho was held responsible, as his namoe was at tho head of his journal, and waa sentenced to pay 6,000 francs damagos and, 1,000 fraucs fine. It s to bo presumod that when Mr., Bennott ro- turns to this country, ko will come by somo other route than tbrongh France, This, how-~ over, ia not tho worst of it. By tho ruls of tho Court, it is decided that an American journal can o prosccuted under the press laws of Franco for an offenso committed in the United States,— the only requircment being to ebow that the Journal in question ontors Frzace, and, by this gamo rule all American journals which pube lishod the offonsive mattor will be called upon to pay 6,000 franca demages and 1,000 francs fino whenovor thoir proprietors can bo oaught within the jurisdiction of the Fronch Courts, As sovoral American journals published tho artielo in question, it fa to bo prosumed that Amaerioan editors will not bo very plenty in France, for a while at lanst.
