Butler thinks that disabled soldiors, or their wives or widows, ought to have the proforenco for poitiona in the Civil-Servico, Ho moved yesterday that, when such applicants for office pass the required ox~ aminations, they shall have precodence of any other competitors, The Houso passed the res- olution, Bomo of tho questions likely to como bofore tho moating of the National Grange at St. Louis tlus weok nro stated by our dispatcbes to be, whether the Grang shsll ercct a building in Now York for the hoadquarters of the Ordor; whether the charter of the Boston Grange shall bo restored, and whether tho secrot character of tho Ordor shall bo maintained. The Cubang sro practicing the lesson which tho Spaniseh taught them, of shooting prisonors of war. A Col. Montaner, who has made him- wolf peeulintly odioun to the Cubsus by his bru- talitics to Cubau prisoners, was recently cap- tured by thom, and av onco shob by order of Gon. Gomez. Somo Spanish prisoners taken uear Puerto Principo wore treated in the samo way. An attempt wos mudoe last ovening in the Common Council to roconsider tho voto by which Dr. Puoli’s nomiuation as City Physiciun wos rejected. It failed, the Msyor ruling that g the vote had been roconsidered slready, the motion was out of order. The nominations of Aoses Hook and Josoph McDermott as members of tho Bozrd of Heulth, andof George Mason as member of tho Public Library Board, wero oconfirmed. Charges for tho jmpoachment of Judge Bua- teed hiave been prosented to Congrese by o cit- izouof Alabawmn, He is declared to hava willfully noglectod to hold Court at the times and places preseribed by law, and to have thus often kept litigants, witnosses, jurors and counsel dancivg atiendance on his caprico, ab great exponse to the peoplo and the Government. ‘The final accu- sntion is, that ho puid court money to ono Roy- nolds to hueh up a libel suit brought by tho lat- tor aguinat him, In imitation of the eingular crusadeof the women of Bouthorn Obio against the liguor- dealers, some of the membors of tho Massachu- sotts Temporance Allisnce have orgamzed a praying baud of mon and women to storm the waloons of Worcoster. In Ohio the movement is spreading like the epizootic. In numberloss towns tho women have formed themeolves into bands, with Captains, and begun o syatomatio uttack of prayer on all the rum-dealers within reach, “The question of Lho righta of colored children to oquality with whito children in tho public s#chools of this Htato was debated at longth in thoe Btato Senate at 8pringflold yestorday, BMr, Houry's resolution, introduced & year 050, Wos thunlly pagsed.

Tho workingmen in the North Chicago Rolling- Mills have withidrawn from tho agreomont whioh thioy woro required to sign in ordor to obtaln em- ploymont after tho panfe. In it they bound thomselves not to form auy combination affcot~ ing their rolations with thelr employers, nnd to givo two woalw’ notico of any domand for an in- eroaso of wagos or intention of leaving. They informod tho Company on Baturday that after tlio oxpiration of two whaka thoy ehould consider tho agroomont at sn end, A confarence wag subsequontly held botweon tho Presidont of tho Company and tho men, which onded in tho re~ fueal of tho former to allow tho men to with- draw from tho contract, and the rofueal of the mon to abide by it. In coneequence, the mills bave boon again clored, and the men thrown out of work, They consider themzelves wronged by this nction, claiming that two weeke' notico of stoppago of work was duo them as well as their employors. A committeo to investigato tho adminiatration of * Boss " Bhophord & Co., of the District of Columbia, was appointed yesterday by Speakor Dlaine on tha motion of Mr. Wilsou, of Indiana. Mr. Wilson, who is mado Chairman of the Com- mitteo, statod, in prosenting the momorials of Mogsrs, Corcoran, Riggs, and tho others, and moving for the investigation, that the matter was in his hands not of his own socking, snd that ho wantod to have nothing to do with it. The Committes i8 to bo a joint onoe, aud i to fu- quire into tho truth of the charges which are mnde by Mr. Corcoran and his associates 1n the momorizl, and {8 to report whether additional logisiation by Congress is needed to proteot the rights of tax-payers. Whilo the motion was bo- fore tho House, it was stated by members that tho sohooltonchors of tho Distriot had not been pmd sinco Septembor, nor the police since Mey, of lnst yoar. All this while, money has been flowing ous of the Tronsury by milliona for the paymont of the contracts whioh it i alloged were rotton with corruption. Tx-Gov. James M. Hazvey was yostordsy oleot~ od United States Senator from Kansas to auc- ceed Caldwell, Ha roceived 51 votos on tho first bellot, but, before the result was announced by the Sponker, sufficient votes wero changed to give him 76,—four more than was nccessary to o choico, Gov. Harvey was for a long timo resident in this State, whioh he loft in 1857 to engago in farming in Xanens, He has hithorto beon a Ropublican, aud hos twice beon olected by his party Governor of Kansas, o position which he filled from 1869 to 1873, Xf anything will unesrth the indiscretions of man's past carcer, o Kansas Sonatorisl contest will do it? and the fact, that ox-Gov. Harvey has passed through the late caivass without auy disagree- able revolations, spenks well for him. He is reported to have declared himself yesterday to bo & Reformer yather than s Ropublican, and that ho will go to Washington with the same in- dependent views and purposes ss Booth, of Cal- ifornia, He was one of the first mon in tho Re- form movemont, which lie joined o year ago. The Engincers’ report on the Bt. Olair Flats® Ship Cansl bas beon submitted to Congress. It states thal excavations must pe made at four pomnts in tho chanuel botwweon Lalkos Huron and Erie—tho St. Clair Flats, Lake St. Clair, and Dotroit River, at *the Limelnlns,” and at tho mouth. Tho Limekilng' cutting must bo through solidrock., Tho cost of making & chaonel 20 feot deop, and from 100 to 400 feet wide, is esti- mated at $2,700,907. This is, however, on tho supposition that part of the cannl sball ve within the Cavadian frontler. If it must lio wholly within our bounds the cost will be $8,~ 930,000, The Bultalo Commercial Advertiser rogards this canal aa tho internal improvement most imporatively needed. It eays that tho commerco interosted in it is larger than that now carried on in American ocean-going shipa ; that tho loss of property by shipwrecks at tho Lime- kilne during thoe last five years would almost pay for thie wholo worl ; and that the result of the proposed canal would be *‘a reduction of about 50 per cent tu the cost of moving property from tho West," Bountor Morton yesterdsy finished his roply to tho argument of Benator Curpenter for a new election in Louisisna, He coutonded that the Presidont bad rocognized the Kellogg Govern- mont, and bad done 8o properly, and that this recognition bound the Government, including Congross, If Congressshould act in accordance with the suggestion of Benator Carpen- tor, it would oxorcise & powoer under which Stato Governments would exist hero- after only by sufferanco. Judge Durell was dismissed with tho romarl that bis doclsions did not affoct the question. A large part of Senator WMorton's romarks wero dovoted to praising Kollogg, as s mau of ability and ** magnotism,” and bis administration as the bost Loulsiana had had gince the War; and to paiuting, in blood- rod colors, the outragoes of the Ku-Klux, who had turnod tho State into a pool of blood. On this vool of blood the election frauds, which the Souator was constrained to admit the Ropubli- cans hind boon gnilty of, wore but driftwood, If Sonator Carponter's plsn wero adopted, tho horrors of Colfax and Graut Parish would bo ro- peuted in Now Orleans, Sonator Conkling spoko Quring tho dobate in opposition to Bonator Car- ponter's intorpretation of tho powers of the Prewident to intorfere in cuso of domestio dia- turbanco, Ilo holds that the Prosident doos not need suy formal application for aid, Ho may intortore 1t Mo recolvos only an outery from a Governor for help. Tho telograph dispatches have ennounced that the important suit of the Btate of Penusylvauia agalnst Georgo O.

Tho trial ia dofoctivo in tho partioular that it did not discloso the names of the partics who shared with Evans the money taken from tho Stato. MR, FORBES ON THE CURRENCY, Mr. John M. Forbes, of Boston, who is largoly interosted in commorco and rollroads, has, at tho requost of the House Committes on Bank- would only bo utitlod ta compensatiou for tho tauoys notually colluctod by i, aud not & thoroou, provided o Toier00 ropor scsouaiof. oar 70 i " A maonays {ius aslually collsatod l’m"'m' i e aver the same ing aud Curronoy, givon hisviows on the subject of the curroncy. Mr. Forbos thwks that the panio was caused by looking up capital in proma- ture entorpridcs, chiefly railronds, and that it was groatly aggravated by tho * vicious systom " of loaning the roserves of country bauks to the Now York banks, which reloanod thiom at once to spoculators. ‘The panic might have boon avertod had Congresa earried into effect mons- uros of resumption which they morely talked about, For ot Lho root of tho trouble lay tho redundancy of curremcy. If the coun- try had not had too much paper, so mnch of it would not have goue iuto rail- road-bullding, Aud again, if the papor had not beon redundaut,—that ia, had boon on & par with gold,—thenows of the panic would have brought us at onco from Europe gold onough to supply the demand. Currenoy peculiar to a country ean bo locked up and kept locked up for days, but tho world's curroncy cbbs and flows according to the demand forit. A country that usos gold and has been suddenly drained of it will bo floodod with it aa soon 88 steam can bring it. Ur. Forbos dismisses tho iden that the way to oxtricato ourselves from our prosoat predicomont 8 to issue moro currency, by saying . that the samo causes would produco the samo cflects. Given, & plethorn of currenoy, we know thatwo shall havo momantary ense, speculation, striugency, smash. Holays down his remedy as follows: Tirst, withdraw and destroy the so-called re- servo of $44,000,000. 1f the monoy cannot well bo raised by taxition, get it by sclling bonda. Becond, take sutstantisl and irrevocable steps to resumo specio paymonts. Tho procoss may be slow, may be ono of several, but it is impora- tive that it should besuro. 'The plan suggeated by tho Hon. H. L. Piorco soems to Mr. F. tho best ome. It providos that Governmont shall oxchange tho existing groonbacks for now ones, paysble in gold two years from dato of issme. Either £8,000,000 or 86,000,000 of the pow notos shall be issuod every month, If tho $2,000,000 rate is chosen, 200,000,000 of tho present greenbacks would bo pnid off in eight years. It is thougnt that theromainder would then be atpar. If not, the process can go on till the final remainder is oqualin value togold. This systom is ro- garded ss both yradual and suro. Tho principal victims of a fluctuating cur- rency are, smong clagses, tho laborer; and, among goctions, tho South and West. The laborer 18 tho 4 repiduary legatee of sll tho blunders of our gambling system.” His class is tho largost creditor, and is therefore oxposed to most loss by depreciation in the currency. Ho cannot spoculato, ‘““Prices fall for him Iatest while thoy rise soonest.” And Mr, Forbes might have added that wages fall for him soon- out, whilo thoy rise latest. The stoadior an in- dustry is, tho moro it suffera from an unsteady currency. Agriculture is the featureof the ‘West and South, Its products aro eold on a gold basig, for the price at Liverpool rogulates tho prico at Now York. The articles the South and ‘West got in exchango are paid for in prices based on paper, which are from 20 to 80 per cent high- or than tho paper oquivalent of a gold prico. ‘I'his is tho substance of what Mr. Forbes has to eny. The reporta of tho Banking and Currency Committee indioate that somo of his views car- ried conviction with them, THE WASHINGTON TWEEDS. There is confusion at Washington among the lacal rulers, something like that which provailed in Now York when the Tammany fruuds woro first uncovered, Tho Governor of the District, Mr. Honry D. Cooke, resigned just bofore the suspension or collapse of his firm in Septomber, and Mr, A, R.Shepherd waa appointed in his place. During the term of Mr. Caoke, the active mauagement and control of all local mat- tors waa intrusted to Mr. Shopherd, who had already won tho title of * Boss,” which titlo Las not coased to be popularly applied to Lim sinco he bas become Governor in fact, Twoyearsand a half ago there was a protonacd investigation into District mattors, but tbe recent pub- lication of the private lottors of at loast two of the mombers of the Committeo dis- crodits the whole transaction. Recontly, however, & memorial has been “presented to Congress, signed by forty woll-known citizens, lorgo prop- erty-holders, and men of unquestioned porsonal intogrity, asking an investigation of tho oxpendi- tures made in the District, alloging frand and corruption, The memorial is justified for two reasons, 1. Bocause Congress lns exclusive Jurisdiction over tho Distrlot of Columbia ; and, 2, Because the local Govornmont auk that Con- greey shall assume the paymont of the enormous debt now duo by the District, Another rouson is, that among tho Iargo expenditures mnde in Washington City, sevorsl millions of dollars have beon directly appropriated by Congrees, The ouly answer made to the memorisl ig that somea of tho signers woro Secosslonists during the War ; that Mr, W, W, Corcoran, one of them, spont & long timo in Buropo with his daughter, who waa married to & 1clative of John Slidell Mr. Corcoran was & banker boforo the War and had rotired from bueiness ; he was a mau of Bouthern birth and education, and, unquosation- ably, his sympathies wore with the South, Ifo had an only ohlld whowas in Europe, and bhe resided with Lher until her death, when he returned to Washington, and from his woealth, has givon over $1,000,000 to found publio institutions and to beuutity the oity, The anewor to an indiotment for robbery, that the sccusor Ju » Rebol, will not bo accepted j and the poople of tho country will Inalst that, before Qougroas assumes he Distriol debt of sevaral milllous, 1t shall inquire what has boon done willi tho money. Tha countryvill ank alno that tho investigation thall bo a fair and an honest ono, aud nob & more whitownshlug like the Inat ono. et oy oA THE BUMNER RESOLUTIONS, ‘Thoro in & gratifying prospect that tho Magsn- chusotts Legislnturo will rescinil the rosolutions of consuro whicht it passod s yonr ago upon tho courdo of Mr. Sumnor In socking to obliterato from tho Atmy Registor thoracords of tho Lattles of tho Warof ths Rebollion, and thus to help oxtingalsh tho ombors of thut unfortunato strifo, ‘This aotion {anot 8o much dno to Mr. Bumnor as to tho Logislaiure itsclf, Tho resolution which it passnd eunld nob cenntro o mau whoso whole lifo ins been devoted to freedom, and whoso publio services hiave bacomo an important part of our qntlonal history. 'Thoy only sory- od to roflcet the narrowness and bigotry and seotlonnl hatreds of the majority of tho Xoglélaturo which pnssod tho resolution. \T'o Mr. Sumuor himsolf it is probn- bly quito immaterial whothor the resolution is roucinded or qot, Ho slrendy has the indorso- mont of all mon who desira the complote recon- cilintion of tho North and South and tho ro-os- tablishment of the pencoful rolations which for- morly existed. For the rest hocan afford to wait tho vindication of time and tho oxtiuguish- mont of narrow prejudico and local patriotism. 'The Maszncliusotts Logislature, however, eaunot afford to perpotuato a proof of sectional animos- Ity in thair records which is conatantly growing moroe offensive. In connoction with this sub- joot, tho Noston Globe saya: * Penco—perfoct ponce—and tho renewal of brothorly fool- ing botween the North and the South ia tho ardent desiro of cvery patriotio heart, but it can nover bo brought about by the moenns pro- posed. Aslong as the tattorod banners last, Job the ingoriptions Inst. But there is no need of a liko perpotuation of the resolutions of consuro on Mr. Sumner.” Tho commont of the Globe is doprived of its point trom tho fact that Mr. Bumnor has never proposed to interfore with the tattored bannersor tho inscriptions upon them. What Mr. Bumner wished to effect was to ox- punge thio list of battles from tho National roc- ord, which in the Army Rogiater. There aro two vory gooil rossons why thoy sbould not bo ineluded in that publication: Firat, because It is not authorized by law ; and, second, becauso it tends to porpotuate what should o forgot- ton, and what is distastoful and sggravating to a largo part of the people of the Unitod States, THiE RIGHT TO IGNORANCE, In & recont articlo sotting forth the right of tho State to require the instruction of children in the rudimentary branches of wducation, we illustrated our position by citing the higher ox- orciso of power brought in forco in compelling all citizons of sultable sgo to rouder military sorvice. Wo showed that, if tho Btate may re- quiro its citizens to bear arms and oxpose their lives in battlo and in camp, then, @ fortiori, it may roquire thom to know something befors they are colled to perform mil- itary duty, sinco educated porsons manke bottor soldiers than clowns, A morn- ing newspnpor, which stands up for tho right to ignorance, says that theso are the idoss, though not the exact language, of « Tamerlaue, an Aloxandor, & Cesar, a Charles V., or Philip 1L, & Bonaparto, or a Wilholm Kaiser,"” 1t has boen commonly understood that Tamer- Iano, Alexandor, Cresar, Charles V., Philip IL, and Bonaparte loft their impross not on tho miuds of their generation but en their Lodics. Wo admit, howover, that tho idens montioned above aro the idess of Withelm Eaisor, and the world can observa tho consequences toan enlightened ond powerful - nation, somoewhat despotio it is granted, but whose despotism has no connection with its compulsory oducation, while its enlight- cument and power most assuredly have. Tho final reault of its systom of education will be, we veoturo to prodict, that Gormany shall yot be o free and liberal vation,—one which, by its cu- lightenment, will be enabled to dispense with tho vast standing army it now maintains, There was nothing in our argumont on compulsory oducstion favoring a standing army. Wo do not want a largo standing army. The people ot this country are opposed to its existence, and rightly opposed to it. Wo advocate education for the very reason that it is tho best mesus of dispensing with a standing army. We advocate it in part a8 a substituto for a stauding army, ‘We advocate it bocause wo cannotaiford to be inferfor, in point of enlightenment, to any peo- plo on tho globe, We do not want drilled man- machines. We want intolligent beinga for soldiers as for every other purpose.

This journalistio ranter is not very successful in his philological exoursion, Ho might have dispolled tho mystifieation in which tho worda “gtate " and ‘“wubject” involved him by con- sulting some standard dictionary,—Webster's, for instanco,—from which ho would have lesrned that ono of the meanings of “Btalo™ is *“tho whole body of the people united under one gov- crnment, whatover may bo the form of govern- mont ;" and that one of {ho meauings of ‘‘sub- joor,” and the very firut given by Webster, I8 “that which e placed undor the authority, dominion, or influonce of something ¢lse.” Now, evon in tho United Btates, the Individusl is placed under ¢ tho whole Lody of the peoplo united under one Government,"—lhat is, under tho Btato,—and thus 18 constituted tho rolation of Btate and subjoot, whioch the wiiter scoms to couslder so very undemo- oratie, Torthe boneflt of the advocates of in- ovitablo ignorance and of the right to know noth- ing and bo nothing wo msko this oxplanation.

THE GAD'S8 HILL ROBBERY. The robhory porpotrated at Gad's Iill, Mo, n tow daya sinco, recalls at onco that most famous of oll robborles, in which Bir John Falstaff, and Bardolph, and Poto, displayod such romarkablo valor agafust “‘tho clovon men in buckram," aud in which 8ir John was eight times thrust through tho doublot, four through the hoso, bis buckler cut through and through, and his sword hacked ko o handsaw. On that memorablo oo~ casion at Gad's 111, there were pilgrims going with rich offerings to Contorbury, and traders with fat purses to Londou, How Sir John and his scurvy companions robbed them, and how Princo Hal and Poing robbed the thieves 1o turn of their ill-gotten’ gains, aud how the fat paunch squirmed aud twistod and ingeniously lied him- rolt out of tho serape, whon confronted by tho Princo, are ag familiax as household words, At our modern Gad’s hill, instead of n train of pilgrime and traders it was o railrond train which fell into the lands of tho robbers. Instead of four thioves thoro wero soven. Liko their im- mortal predecessors, however, thoy weut visored, aud tiod their horsos in the woods, They met with no more resistauce than did Falstaft and his crowd, but thoy only got Lnlf as much; for, whereas our modera Gad's Hill thieves got but 82,844, tho old ones got 35,000, Just at this point, however, tho parallel betweon old and new Gad's Hill sbruptly cosses. Thore wore no Princo Hol and Poing in Missouri to take their booty awsy from the thioves. They socured it without diffioulty, and mado off with it at their lotsure, and, although the sluggish people of Gad's Hill are now sufliciently sroused from their stupor to follow the thieves,it is altogothor probable that nothing will come of it. Even should they overtake them, it is not at all cortain that the sevon buld thioves will nov turn about and rob the pursuing pop- utntion of Gud's Hill with impunity sud sond thom home ompty-hancled. 1Aon who plan a robbery of this kind with such consummatoe cool- noss and skill would not be very likely to leave any avonue opon for their apprehension. Thoy wotld propars the way for their escape with oqual cooluges and skill, so that it is safo to as- sumo that the Gad’s Hillors are on a wild-goose chase. When it is romembered that in that wild ro- glon whore this robbery was perpetrated nearly ovoryono goes armed, and the pistol snd knifo are as constant companions as canes in & more clvilized community, it scoms almost incredible that this robbery could bave taken place withont resistance, Theso soven desporadoes arrived at Gad's Hill somo timo boforo the train. 'They gathered tho ontire population to- gother, and compolled thom to remain standing near the platform. Theythem turned the switch, and, 88 the train spproacned, signaled it to stop. As soon as thoe train stopped, they boarded it, and first paid their attentions to the conductor, enginoor, mail and expross agoots ; after which, ono of them standing gusrd over the crowd, the other gix deliboratoly robbod each passengoer of his money aund other valuables. Having finished the operation at thelr leisuro, thoy gathorod thoir plundor and rode sway ab thoelr lolsure, nlso, and before pursuit could bo organized they were far onough way to insure their safety. ‘There was no al or Poins to interforo with them. In viewof the alarming frequency of theso railroad robberies iv the sparsely-sottled rogions of the West and Bouthwest, and tho escape in oach instance of those who perpetrate them, ib i remarkablo that the railroad companies do not take somo precautions to prevont thom. Thero is an average of at least ton mon on every train who sreconnected with itsxunning, If these ton men wero properly armedby the Company, and were always in readinoss for an attack in passing through these thinly-settled districts, it i mnot likely that theso robberios would occur, more cspacially ns many of tho paesengers in those regions go armed also, and would be in readiness to aid the train attondants, If somothing of this kind is not done before long, railroad traveling will becomo vory unpopular. The risks of collisions, ex~ plosions, running down embankments, scaldings, and other forma of railway nccidents, are sufii- cient without having robbery added to the dan- gors whioh beset the unwary traveler. As things at prosout go, tho prospects of passon- gors are not very flattering, to esy the loast. If ailroad companics cannot guarantee their lives, thoy should at loast bo compefled to protect their pocketa, TH'E DUTIES ON STEEL, Tho Boston Commercial Advertiser has boen showing latoty that the protective duty on steel, such as is usnd for edge tools, is opprossive to the manufaciurers of those goods, and it de- mands that the duties on foreign stocl be ro- duoed. It is :aflrmied by all tho odge-tool manu~ facturors that American-made steol will not answor for thelr purposes, and that, no matter what it costs, they must purchaso foreign eteol. Euglish steol now sells in tho United Btates at 20 conta por pound, while American steol ean be Lought for 16} conts. As the manufacturers of edgo tools muist Lave forelgn steel, and eannob uso the Ameuican ot any price, thoy insist that tho duty sholl be reduced. Bofore 1872, tho duty on unmanutactured steel, valued at less thun 7 conts por pounds, was 2}{ cents per pound; when valued at 7 and not over 11 conts per jround, 8 conts por pound; when valued ot over 11 cents, 8}¢ ceats per pound and 10 por cent ad valorem. Foreign stool, such 118 I uged for edge tools, costa now over 11 contis per pound, In 1873, Congross re- duced the d nty 10 por cont, loaving tho present duty on the t kind of steol, ostimating it to cost 13 couts por pound, £93,00 per ton (of 2,000 pounds) in gold, Adding premium on gold and expouses, the prolection ls oqual to 8180 ourroncy por ton, This is 0)4 cents a pound, aud agataet It tho edge-tool manufactur- ors protosrt. The Boston paper, which ropre- sonta thin intoreat, wonkons its argumonts and dostroys thio wholo force of its rousoniug by de- olaring thuit * the fIRLt on the steol dutios Is not against the prinelple of proteotion, but against unnocessniry and injudlelous protootion,” If pro~ tostion ba. right as & prineiple, tbors canuot be l too much of it ; and, it it should happen to eut the edgoe-teol fraternity in one placo, it cuts other peoplo moro severely in othor places. Wo find, however, that tho manufacturors of adge tools, ovenaftor paying this oxcossivo duly, arc ablo to compoto with thoe foreign manufnc- turors of tho samo class of goods, and are ox- porting sovoral millions of dollars’ worth of their goods to foreign countrios, Now, as thero is no forolgn compotition in edgo tools in this country, the American goods being sold for loss than the European, why shouid the protective duty on edgo tools bo rotalned any more than on the stoel itself ? It i8 arguod, and truly, that, if tho duty on raw stool wore reduced one-half, tho vroduction of manufacturad goods would be incrensed snd the oxports grontly onlarged, Tor the same ronson, if tho unnecessary snd injudicions duty on manu- faoturod steel goods wore also roduced the consumption would bo still greator, the busi- noss of manutacturing would be incrensed, the rovenue would bo onlarged, sud the country gonorally be benofitod. We agreo that tho duties on steel aro outragoous, and ought to bo repeal- od for the relief of tho edge-tool manufacturor and all others ; but wo insist that tho dutyon tho manufactured goods, being no longor, necos—~ wary for proteotion, should aleo bo repoaled. Bupposo the New England tool-malkors, and other manufacturers of steel goods, smend their poti- tion, and ask Congress to reduce tho duties on atool and steel manufactures to an uniform rate, uot to exceed 25 per cont of tho import value. ‘Thoy would then be backed by several millions of poople who aro taxed encrmously upon every form of goods of which stoel is & compon- ent part. Having mostored the steel business, and discovered that the protection now provided for that interost is sheor robbery, they will, per- haps, bo able to understand that tho dutics ou iron are open to the samo objoction, If tho edgo-tool manufacturors find that they are “taxed 8 or 4 conts on every pound of stool thoy usg, to support Ponnsylvania,” they will digcover that thero aro many millions of peoplo in the country who aro a8 infamously taxoed on sll the iron they ueo in its countloss forms. Haviug thus rolieved tho cotton and woolon manufac- turers of the taxes on their machinery and tools, and on the iron and stecl they uso, they will dis- cover thab the dutics on raw wool aro part and parcel of the samo plundering systom, and that, compared with the monopoly cujoyed by the stool-makors of Ponnsylvauia, the *‘ unnocessary and injudicious” protection afforded to the manufacturer of cotton and woolen goods js o burdon of much greater mag- nitude. Without baving the.exact figures before us, we suggest that the tax paid on the iron made into horueshoes will in the aggrogate far oxceod tho tax paid on all the steel used by tho odge-tool makers. Whilo we agreo with the edge-tool manufacturers in declaring the presont tax on stoel outrageous, and that it ought to bo roduced, we suggest that thero' are otuer peoplo in tho United States besido the edge-tool manu- facturers, aud thet these other pooplo desire not ouly chespor stool, but cheapor tools, cheapor iron, aud cheaper woolen and cotton cloth, and have tho same right to consideration by Congross. TThe latost foreign malls Lriug tho dotails of the report on the collision botween the Loch Earn and the Villo du Havro mado by the Eug- lish Board of Trade. The roport states thatut the time of tho collision tho Lookh Earn was clogo hauled on the port tack, Thoe Englishsail- iug and steering rules, which bave boen ndopted by Franco and many othier maritima nations, do- claro that, “*if two ships, ono of which is a sail- ing ship and tho othor a steamsbip, are proceed- ing m such dircctions as to involve risk of collision, the stcomship shall keop out of tho way of the sailing ship.” And again by the 18th articlo, it is furthor ennoted, * where, by tlo sbove rule, ono of two ships is to keep out of tho way, the othor shall keep her course,” sub- joct to certain qualifications that do not apply in this caso. With regard to tho relative position of the two vessels, tho report says Tho evidenco further disclosos that tho port side of {hio Loch Larn was opposed t0 tho Ville du Havro, zud tho deposition of Cupt, Surmont admits_ that tho helm of hia shipwas put“lurd wstarbonrd,” Uhin of lecesnity brought _tho ateamer ucrogs tho bows of tho salling sbip, and from tuiy momont tho collivion way inevitable, which eventuslly led to thio destruction of Dotli, Capt, Surmont further doposed ** that, in Lis opluion, thero was fuult on the siloof both ships.” The Court, howover, fuiled to sco this, It could oni be guided ' by the evidence, as showiug Low fur each slip hnd complied with ho steering aud eniling rules 18 above quoted ; und they uro clearfy of opiujon that {hess reguiations were strictly udhered to by thoso ol board the Loch Eurn: und, therofore, that Vessel fi 1ot iu any way responsiblo for this collislon, The sumo papoers containing tho report an- nounce another fact which is not genorally known, namely, that the ownors of tho Ville du, Havre, taking rofugo behiud tho ez parte judg- ment of the French Court, rofuso to roimburso tho passengers for tho losses thoy biave sustain- ed in porsonal proporty, aud that soveralof them propose to bring sult in tho courts of New York, whorothe Company has proporty and can bo made linble.
