THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 8 1873 WASHINGTON. Tho Administration lo Support Hugles for Governor of Virginia, Prospect of a Lively Fight Over the Ocean Mail Contracts. Uneasiness of the Gormen Government Canzed by tho Increasing Emigration. Bpecial Dispatel to The Chicago Tribune, VICE-TRESIDENT WILSON'S IEALTH. ‘Wasitaroy, D, 0., Aug. 7.—It is manifost that tho officinlly published donials rognrding tho honlth of Vico-P'rosident Wilson are of & diplomatio olnractor. There is tho bost nuthority for tho statomont that his physicians, contemplato the applioation of & soton in tho baso of tho brain, oy the only possible curo for his disordor ; and it s also cortain that his most Intimato frionda havo the gravest approhensions of tho rosult. It is statod that this application ‘has boen delnyed in ordor to pormit Mr. Wilson to 0 rogain his gonoral health that ho may onduro this radieal trentmont with moroe safoby. QOEAN MAILS, Thero i a project to_take tho Wednosdny Eu- roposu mail from the Willlams & Guion Lino | and to givoit to the Cunarders, The point is mado thnt the ships are too slow—so slow that Iottors leaving Wednesday do not arrive in Europo any soonor than lotlora lnnvln;i‘sntm- dny. Tho paradoxical claim is mado that tho lotters sont soonest roquiro tho most timo for transit. Tho I'ostmaster-General is vory earn- outin favor of the presont lino. Ho is opposod by certnin New Yorl parties. 1o cluims that tho contract was awarded to this lino upon the recommendntion of the propor committocs of both Houses of Cougross, aud thet tho pre- dominating reasons for tho choico wore that_tho mujority of tho stock of tho lino was owned by Amcricans, and that tho line camo to tho asaist- auco of tho Govornmont whon all theother stonm- ship companies conbined in n strike and refuged to carry tho moils without increased compousn- tion. On tho othor sido, it is claimed that nono of the stock is now really owned by Americaus, and tho intorosts of commorco require quick transit, irrespective of the nationahiy of ‘tho flag. If tho matter is not ndjusted before tho mevting of Congress, the contest for the Buropoan mni contracts will bo very litllo. During January all the Buropoan mail contracts nro to bo relet, and the respective stenmsbip lings aro alresdy organizing to securo the mails. Itis oven inti- matoed that the Cunard line will carry mails for nothing, being contented with thoe advantago which tho udvertisemont gives thom. THE POSTAL-TELEGRAYH BOMEME, ‘Tho Postmastor-Gonoral is certain to renew his rocommendations in favor of & postnl telo- grupl.\ in his next annunl roport.

A DIPLOMATIO, It is reported that the North Gorman Confod- eration hus again informally roquosted tho State Departmont that in thesolections of Consuls and diplomatioc officers to represent the United States in Germuny, naturnlized citizens from that country should not be taken. Those rep- rescutations, of course, can only be of o semi-officlal charactor, No ~ ressons aro assignod for the suggestion other than tho tho old statemont that naturalized Gormans who occupy, thoso positions usually couvert thom- selves into nctive immigration ” agents, and aro apt to disturb the barmonious relations betweon the two countrios, The oxcoss of emigration is undorstood to havoe hnd a visiblo effect upon tho German military forces-" In view of the military contingoncios liablo constantly to arise, tho German authoritios dosiro to retain those capable of military duty, THE TEXAS TOLITIOAL MUDDLE. 1n the quarrel smong the Toxan politiclaus, the Clark faction n‘)ponr for tho prosont to bo nuccossful, At sll cvonts, Postmaster Olark publicly states that tho Iresidont yostorday in- formed both himself and bis friends that ho had corotully examined tho afidavits presented sywnt him by Govaruior Davl, and found thnt thoy wore contradictory and impeached thom- solves.

THE VIRGINIA OAMPAIGN. Tho vieit of Col. Hugles to thls olty hns re- sulted in committing iho Administration actively to lns support. Tho Administration organ de- clares thut tho President expressod to Col.

MONEY MARKET. Intimations in officisl circles aro so strong that tho Guvernment will not pormit a donr money market in tho fall, that the, rumor i again revivod that the Sccrotary of tho Tronsury will, if_ his curroncy resorves prove insuffiolent, sgain draw upon the. logal-tender reserves to whatever amount in his judgmont shall bo nec- osary. Notwithstanding tho genoral opposition to tho position of the Secrotary with regard to his _logal-tender * resorves, and notwith- stonding the faot that the most ominent legal nuthority hos promounced against tho right of roissue, tho Sccrotary will maintain his authority ¢o todo. Itis under- stood thot DMr. Richardson is supported in Lis osition by the I'rosidont and all tho oflicors of ho Cubinot. It hos been suggestod that tho Troasury Dopartment should provide for an oasy fall mouoy market, Loth by restricting thoe purchase of bonds and by deferring disburee- ments of currency in cosos whoro the payments of claimanta can bo postponed.

Thoy are not wanting in ability or virtue, but what is their influence upon the legisla- tion and social condition “of tho conntry? Not what wo could desire. Wo lave n swarm of monopoMos that grind ond opprosa the agrioultural class, at oncoe tho H;gnc consnmer and producer. Railroad monopolizers obtain exiraordinary rights, more than our country gives to the inhabitants, and also claims the private jmmunities of individuals, and do- ny t‘:ulr dutios as common carriors, Telegraphs, oxpress and transportation companics, whilsl less in_importance, nre just as extortionato ‘monopolics, based on and strengthened by tho undue issue of patonts to Inventors. DBub another and baloful class of monopolies comes more conspicuonsly against the publio interest. Such is our book-making, our plow-makors, and manufacturers, Gauem'lly these monopolies must be supprossed in somo way or other, clnsses soem awed and afraid. Tho agricultural clnsg, to Qo it, should organiza in Granges and Clubs, Counfy, Btato, and National, and thoy should olect none but mon who ara faithful to the peoplo, and not_subsorvient to monied cor- porations. But to do thia farmors must educato thomsolyos, They must take nowsppars ; thoy must informjthomsclves upon trade, transportae tion, finances, taxation, and all subjects rolative to their business and prosperity. They must understand that thoy don't got tho boneflt of the 80 percapita now in circulation, which has awelled tho prico of manufactures 60 to 100 per cont, but hardly affected the prices of farm products. They must cousider whether specio payment would not bo most benoficial to tho farmer, who caunot avail himuelf of fluctuations, bat is always the viotim of thom; and whothor direct or indircet taxstion is botter; if indiroct toxation, whethor it should not bo so far as pos- siblo on luxurios not S{nducud in this country.

Mr. Bmith_pictured the hovela with which tho Stato was doited, which wero inhabited by strug- gling, pinching, striving farmers, whoso land is mortgaged to tho last cent, and compared thom with tho Exflnces of the men who hed merely landled tho farmors' produco, and said that thoss things wero not now or onos that bolong- od to a now couutry, and would woar away ; but it had bocome chronio, and tho end of it would bo thatthe monopolists would by and by take the vory shelter from ovor tho farmors’ hends, and tho would dwindle to mero serfs and straws, and til for othors the land they had vainly bought and fought for with tho bitter swoat of the brow and lionost Iabor. How could this be otherwiso, with corn golling at 20 cents that cost thom 30 conts to produco? Ho had been neked frequently, by hundreds of correspondonts, whother they wore to vote, whother tho Clubs woro to tako part in olitica; and hLo answered ouly for himsolf, I’hnt he should vote, and lo shounld not vote for Republicaus or Domocrats, but for hon- oat men.
