Tho North Schleswig * quostion,” concorning wwhich thete Lins been tauch weighty speculation in tho English newspaper, is not causing seri- oua appreliension in auy other quarters. A dis- pateh to the London Times, which lis every ap pearance of truth, states that all the rumors have avisen from tho expulsion of four trouble~ somo persons from the country, the doing of which ereated scarcely more excitemont than would the commisting of four thieves to prison in London. v “If Tweod and Counolly were rapid,”. sava AMr. Charles A Dang, * Havemeyar aud Giton wre none tho luas sure.” Although he has {h distinet couception of the mauner in which the Now York City Government i admimisterod, Mr. Daug utterly rofuses to stand as an inde- pondent candidate for Mayor. It is much easier to eny right than to do right, and to criticige corruption in oftico than to discharge tho duties of o laborious ollice honestly. Tho per- sonal encrifico involved in soliciting the election 18 more thun Mr. Daua scems disposed to make. ‘The Aaministration in Washington secms dis- posad to take credit for recent promotions in the Patont Oflice which are 10 nccordance with the principles of Civil-Servico Reform. Tho trath socms to be that the reform, if thero was auy, was involuntary. If it were otherwise possiblo to take up ono of Gon, Butler's friends und make bim Principel Bxominer, tho Civil-Servico ruley would not provent the sppointment. But the chiof clerks in tho Patont Offico must bo mon of peculior attainments, ond it js safor to vromoto thom, when a vacancy oconrs, than to favor uue sarupulous poliviciane. W.

Tha call for the Cunvention wes issued, it willbe romembered, by the Republican Ex- ceutivo Congrossiounl Committeo, and con- tained nn admonition to oach dolegate to preparo o careful report of outrages comimittod in lis neighborhood. Wo regret to say that Loth Nerth and South Carolina wore not repre- sonted fu the Couvontion, and thay tho' roports of vutrages were nob completo. Dut tho de- ticioncy is not fatal. Every delogato proacut in the Convontion had a long list of outragos which bad come within Lis porsonal obser~ vation; ond the tale of ' bloodsbed and maldng somo nowo lately in his part of the Btato sbout * tho originsl Demoeracy ” of rag- moncy tendencies, and who consented Lo stand for Congress on hig merits, hag now withdrawn from tho contest. o claims to havo recoived assuranco from Mr. Scott Wike, the Opposition candidate, that thero is no diversity of opinton between them as to the usefulness of papor- money; ond #ays that the reason of his candi- daturo no longer exists, Wo shall wait to hear from Ar. Wike., In tlo meautime, it is worth samarking that M. Richardson lus only lately Joarned the namo of the mau in his district who is fittor to represent 1t in Congress than himeelf, His advance towards Lumility has been rapid and groat. e —— Judge Jameson yesterday rebuked Mr. Alox- ander, a momber of the Chicago Brir, who hag alwayns been in good standing, fur enteringn wotion to chauge tho venus ol u snit pond- ing in tho court.

'Thoro has prob- ubly been a gain of two Domocratic Congress- nion in West Virginis, making the entire (fn]ng:‘f tion from that Stato Democratic.

Amld all his glowlug pletures, wo fail to find any of his own loroism iu sclling cotton- permits, bis own gallautry in capturlug supplies from stray traders, his own desporato bravery in covaring the cecapo of his comrades with falzo nffidavits, all of which aro describod in Gon. # Baldy " Snftl's roport. It must bo by inad- vovtonco Lhat the oralor bus boon dumb on such tutoresting points. Ilis sllonca suroly cannot bo caused by an inability to nuswer the chnrgos which Maj.-Gou. ** Baldy * Smith and tho Non. Jumes T, Drady drew up agalnst him.

Ilo will tell why bo fuiled to domand o trial at the hauds of tho Government on tho chargos bronght against Lim, and will show Low and wherein Gon, Smith and Mr. Biady were mislod in thoir investigation. Wo suggest to him tha the people of the Fourth District are much moro interosted in his record in 1864 and 1865 than in that of the Republican party during the same timo. ‘WOMAN-SUFFRAGE AND ‘* THAT BOY.” fho reudor of tho intorview between Miss Anthony and our reportor, which was published In tho last 188un of Luie 'TRIBUNE, can hardly fai) to bo struck with two nssertions made by tlis wvotoran leader of the woman-suffrage movoment- Tho firat of theso conceius the suflrage quos- tion ; tho second concorns Miss Authony porson- ally. Tho first is & matter of political an d social ethics ; tho second is & muttor ol tasto, Tirst, 2lios Anthony suys, with a certain tinge of bittorness: “We nover reach the working men, tho day-laborers, Tho working class is not educated to undoeratand or appreeiato uni- vergal suffirage.” Exactly so, and thero is good roason forit. The life of tho working classes iz e struggle for tho meansof living. From sun- rise to sunset, evory day in the your oxcopt Sun- days, and ofion on Sundeys also, they toil for tho bread of that day. Tho resnlt of tho year's labor ruroly leaves them o surplus, If thoy bave wmet currout oxponson and paid thoir bills, thoy havo done well. The husband works, tho wife works, tho childron work, and by their combined offorts and the practico of econ- omy they managoe to Leep the wolf away from the door. How, then, can a day-laborer, whoso baltle with lifo is o contost daily ronewed and nover ended until life is over, who canmot accumulato, who cannot rest, who canuot pauso, lest tho noxt duy's nccessities overwhelm him, have time to think of the abatract principles of womnn-sufirago? What time does the woman who labors from morning to night to holp sup~ port the family havo for thinking about suffrage, or what does sho care about suifrago ? Wherein is suffrage going to bolp ber? Will it removo tho neeestty for labor? If Miss Authony cau iuvent some systom by which suffragowill clotho children, pay tor flour and sugar, or give thoso hard workors vost, sho will find that the laboring clagses will tnke n very livoly interest in it. Bat so long us it is the fundumontal rulo of society that men and women must work or dio, aud whon this work occupies all the time from yeor to year, and is, of the most laborious sort, it is not strango that the toilers fail to seo how going to tho polls and voting will change their lot or effect anythiug to their advautago, ‘Choy do not take any interest in the worman-suf- frage question for the vame roason that they do uot take uny Intorest in the forthcoming trausit of Yenus, It i8 o mattor which doos not con- corn ihem. It Las wothing in common with them. It cannot chavge the fixed laws of labor or its necorxities, It cannot olovate, ameliorate, or alter their coudiion. Let Miss Anthony go to theso working men and women and convinco tlom that woman-suffrago can accomplish thesa 1esulty, abd they will both appreciato and under- stand it very quickly. Becond, Mies Anthony does not deny tho soft impeachment that sho uatupon Theodore's kuee. So Bessio was not half an idiot after'all ! We are glad tuat Sugan didzo. It shows that sho is Lu- man ; thiat sho s not an excaption to tho goneral rule, Hitherto sho has suffored, and wo have no doubf the canse has sufferad, from the vory genoral impression that the stundard-bearer was un ogress with su adamoutine Leart, who had swoin implacablo batred ogaiust everything wenring pantaloons und stove-pipe hats, This touching iustanco of womanly confidence, this little lapso from iron-clad austerity, shows that a human heatt bouty in hor Droast, and that oven Susan B. Anthony knows the rest and penco which may be found wpon the maseuline knoe. ““All the nen had declured thak Suenn wns 8o mowr sho couldn't ot o husband, and I thouglit X would show them I could &it on # young muu's Lnee just like any foolish girl,” Was ever confossion mude more malve, wmcre simplo, aud yot morocomplete? Tho true woman shines through it. Sho wowld doit oven if it were foolish, Hhe would saorifico her own zeruples, sacrifice ‘Lheodoro’s seruples, sacrifice averylhing, to show that gho wus buwoan, and that she could do whatever her siaters bid done in fighting the groat Dbatlle of ‘oman- sulfrage, ho could stoop to conquer, We hold thers was uothing improper iu the act. I'hat half-idiot, Bossio, may have beon ehooked whon sho stumblod upon this remarkablo tub- leau, Bhe seows evidently a young porson who was vory easily shooked at other peoplo, but could bear & gront deal haraelf. Tho reader wi)l yomembor that sho toutified sne was takon out of lior bed and carried through several rooms to r, Lilton’s chamber without even waking up| Othor poaplo, however, will rocoguizo nothing improper in Miss Anthony's sitting on Theodore ‘Iliton’s knce, 1t was Gamaliel shiting upon tho kuee of Theodors, instead of Theodote at tho fost of Guuallal. Thaoclew to the situstionds: givon in anothor place. Says Misa Anthonyt “Tho iden of that boy thiukivg ho could teach lle graudmothars,” As af thero coutld bo anything wrong In grandmothor's sit- ting upon tho kucoof *(hatboy”! It waaa bold and boautiful met. Whon Miss Anthouy roatod upon tho kiuce of **thnt boy,” sho mado s concasslon to tho wenknossos of human nn- turo, and cama down from her lugh plane to toach tho world that sho was of tho world, and, liko othier women, lind hor time for reat, lior hours whon she could Iay asido helmetand eword and enjoy the eolaco of friendship. Tho hialf-confossion gives now interest to her cru- sado. It humnnizes{t. By it Miss Authony bo- comes one of us. She fighta no longer ufar off. Aud ull owing to “that hoy.” When sho givey hgr “seroech for freodom™ to-morrow, ne sho calls it, it will como noarer to tho hentt than herotoforo. It will have maro humanity in ft thon if she lad novor sat upon tho kneo of ** that boy." THE TARIFT ON WOOLS, Tho Nationol Asgociation of Wool Blanufac- turers mot in New York last weolt and passed rosolutions opposing eny reduction or chango in tho tarill on wools. Tho New York Economist states that the mooting only reprosented tho carpot and worsted brauches of tho trade, whilo the 4,000 woolen manufnoturars of the United Btates wero in no degroo roprosonted. This Annocintion of Wool Manufacturors appronched another assaclation callod the National Asso- cintion of Wool-Growors, and ths two onterod iuto & compact to fix tho rates of duty ou wool; and Congross onncted the wool-tarift swindle of 1867. Tho poople were swindled, the wool- growers were swindloed, the woolon-cloth manu- facturers wore swindled, whilo the carpet and woratod trade flourished for a timo, until laat year they fouud thomsolves overroached by the over-production, which ia n inevitablo incident of prolection, Under that tarif?, the Econo- mist alaton, tho carpet man got bis scourad wool, mearly all foreign, at G conts per pound duty and a probibitory tax on foroigu- made carpots. Tho worsted mon got thelr worsted wovo at 12 couls a pound aud 10 por cent ad valorem duty. Tho woolon-cloth manuface turer had to poy on his unwashed wool 12 cents per pound and 10 por cent ad valorem. In the trado theso figurcs aro equivalent to this: 90 pounds carpot wool pay & duty of $6; 80 pounds combing wool, $I6; 33 pounds olothing wool, 812, Or, in another form, reduced to puro scourcd wool, the duties aro: Oar- pot wool, 634 conts per pound ; combing wool, 20 conts por pound: clothing wool, 86} conts por pound. What has been the result? The American manufacturo of fino oloths has boen dostroyed ; milltons of dollars fuvested in mill property and machinery havo beon rendered idle or foreed into other business. Tho carpet and worsted makors bave enjoyed a barvest, whilo the innocont wool-growers have over sinco been waiting for their sharo of tho dividend under the tariff of 1867. Tho oxclusion of forelgn wools lins reduced the demand for Ameri- can wool, a8 to 1anke good cloth & mixturo of the foreign with the domestic is nooded ; tho Ameri- con manufacture has, therofors, besn mainly confined to tho same line of goods, and this has beon necompanied by over-production and evont- ual eales at a loss, Tho importation of foreign-made cloths has inereased greatly, and the agricultural classcs, who were swindled by the tariff of 1867, havo to Pay on an avorago G0 percouttax on all the woolen olothiug and gooda they buy. Out of every 810 they expond in woolen clothing $6.66 aro for the goods and $3.8£ to pay the tax un- dor tho tariff of 1807. KATIE KING, ‘The famons spparition bearing this name which (or who) convineed Prof. Crookes and Alfred Wal- Inco, in London, of the reality of epiritual phe- nomons, has appeared of late in Philadelphia, ‘fhe Americen medium was Mrs. Iolmes. Rob- ort Dalo Owen has eritically investigated Kntio's cereor on this side of the Atlantio, and bas pub- lished in the Loudon Spiritualist 3 Jong and in- toresting account of it. All the precautions against imposture which wero taken in London wora ropeated in Philadelpbis, 8o far us hu- man ingenuity could do ko, fisud was made im- pouaible. A emall eabinet, with a single door, was placed in the parlor. The doors of the room wora locled, excopt whon visitors eat in tho hall, in order to guard aguinst outside inter~ feronce, Tho room wae lighted. Spectators end medinm sat about 8 foot from tho cabiuot. Tho lutter was perfoctly empty. Out of 1t camo | Katfo King. AMr. Owon saw her onohundred times. Ilo bas cut from her head a lock of hnir, She has given him piccos of her dross and of hor veil, As tho latter was of vory fine laco, such a gener- ous ghost should be ospoclally fascinating to the fommine boliover. Mr. Owen has kissed hor and boen Lissod by her, e has given her jow- olry and flowors, 8ho slways wore the jewelry afterwards. On onooceasion ho handod her o cslia Iily, TMolding it, sho gradually faded out of viow. When sho had ontirely vauished, the iily followed suit. Then s pomé of light ap- peared. It doveloped into tho lily. Then Katio camo alowly into sight again, still holding tho flower, ' Tltis vanishing and veappoerance of o materinl object is u new phonomenon, AN ths things given Katie disappeared with hor, Mr. Owen always searched the cabinet with o light fimnodintoly after tho porformunce, sud noyer found even a rose-leal thoro. This remarkable ghost read o souled note inside tho cabinet, which was 8o dork thrt floshly eyos could not do- ciphor auy writing. $ho somotimes fonted i tho air. Ouo of lier most wondertul appearances was ot mid-day, July 16. ‘Cho cabinot-door opened slowly, without perceptible humnn agen- cy. 'Tho interior was empty.

J. . Chaffee, of Minnoapolis, charged with very rorlous offenses, and found him guilty of Spoci- fiention 2, Chiargo 1. This charge was that tha Rov, Chnfles occupiod o seat in a railrond-car with a notorious prostitute; that Lo made las~ clvious overturcs to her, and ovon disarranged hor garments. This charge waa eustained ‘hy the Conferonce. It will bo obvions to any one thut this is o very serious and helnous offouso for a miulster of the Gospel, and one which should have expelled bim from lus church and disgraced him from his pulpit. A minster who travels with o publio prostituto and caroagos her iu tho presouce of othor passongers can hardly bo called an oxomplar of morality, and cer- taluly is not qualified to udminister spiritnal consolation to & congregation, Uaving sustained tho chargo, this waa the least punishment the Confarenco conld fmposo. Inatoad of this, how- aver, the Committeo reports, and tho Conferenco coulirms tho roport, ns follows: ** A majority ot tho Committeo find tho accused guilty as above, and recommend that & mild roproof bo administored by tho Bishop in the open Conference.” It is oxtromely difilcult to reconcilo the punishmont, which is virlually & condoning of tho offenso, with the gravity of the offenso itself, If the Cowmitteo did not be- lievo tho chargo, why did it not acquit him? If it did belleve it, what interpretation can bo placed upon it action, excopt thut it does not know the character of thia offonse, or dooy not deem it & violation of morality, or & broach of miunistorial docorum? Even the Rov. Chaffeo himsolf was seruck with the absurdity of the finding, and vory promptly and emphatically declined to ro- coive ‘s mild roproof,” romarking, * It tho cliargo is sustained, moro than reproof is in- volved.” Tho Rov. Chaffeo han the right view of the cago, lm.l, from the manner in which ho puts it, we aro moro than half inclined to Lelieve he is innocent, and that the Conferenco desorves something moro than & mild roproof. It there Is any power which bas authority to try a Confer- enco, this particular Conforence should bo at once summoned to appear for investigation upon the. charge of encouraging the immorality of clorgymen and tho praoctice of public prostitu~ tion. A NEW ¥ TO DIE, Human ingenuity has been much exorclsed in dovising now ways to live, but scant attention bea hitherto been paid to tho discovery of original mothods of death, TPeople have shuf- flod off this mortal coil in distressingly similar ways, It bas been reserved for Miss Boomer- shino, of Phillips County, Kansas, to crown Ler sox with frosh glory by mventing a bran-new, firat-cluss way of traveling to that bowmme, oto Mins B, had acquired, n her native villago in Georgia, tho usunl accomplishmonts “of tho bellea of that neighborbood.
