The Clitage Teibune, Friday Morning, June 18, 1878, A party by the name of Murrerr was in the city yesterdny, and pnid a visit to tho tomb of his greatness. Ho viowed tho costly mansoleum with an air of injured innoconca and a succession of expletives which, it is lenred, have so jarred upon tho sensi- livoe ingrodients of DBuona Vista stono %8 to create & Inrge addition to tho already numerous fractures in the walls, Morierr may be wenk on Costom- Houses, but his architectural genius in Lhe conslruction of artistic profanity must bo conceded. Mo swonrs in the Renaissance style, introducing the most salient and pronounced features of ancient and mod- ern imprecation, with an effect which is novel snd striking, if not strictly harmonions, In the action taken yesterdny by the Na- tional Board of Trade Convention at Phila. delphin that body proved itsolf superior to the application of the rule relativo to the Angust, Meats woro in botter domand and stendy at 7o for shioulders, 11c for short ribs, and 113@11je for mhort clears.

Wheat waa active nnd ashnde firmer, closing at 97{c cash, and 00} for July, Corn was nctive nnd advanced je, closing at 6930 cash, and 70}e for July, Oats were in fair demand, but a shado ensier, closing at 58je eash, and 56jc for July.

T'ho cattle markot was stendy oxcept for com- mon grades, Sheep wero dull, It now appears that tha loss of tho steamer Vicksburg was not nltogether unavoidable, It is hinrd to spenk in consurs of o man who has lost his life, but recent developments con. nocted with this disnator go to shiow that the Vieksburg was a victim to that reckless run. ning which charactorizes so many of tha ocean stenmshipa nt the present timo. Tho Captain of tho Vicksburg, it appears, had ample warn- ing from another Captain, who had just beon through the fce-flelds with safoty, but'disro- gorded the warning and kept up the same rato of speed, with the result, of courss, that hin vessol went to tho bottom. It furtlier ap- pears that at the time of the disnater some of tho erew were drunk, and that thers was a general Iack of discipline on board. If steam- ors will go to ses with rockless Coptaing and drunken, demoralized crows, and withont any meaus of snlvalion from the inevitable disas- ters which must result from such a condition of things, it followa ns » matter of conrse thnt thoy will go to thoe bottom and lives must be lost. There will be no reform in such dis- graceful managoment until the law steps in and makes tho companios owning and man. aging such stenmers rosponsible. THE CHICAGO CUSTOIS-HOUSE, Thore seems {0 bo little doubt but the roc. commendation of the Committes of Investi- gntion is in favorof tearing down the walls of the Chicngo Custom-House, removing tho present foundations, and beginning the con- struction of the building nll over again. It is not casy for the tax.payors of this country, and particularly the citizons of Chiengo, to reconcilo themsolves to such a procoeding, involving a3 it does tho loss of two yoars' timo, and the inevitablo waste of several Lundred thousand dollars of the public mon- oy ; but it must be remembored that the loss and waste havo alrendy been made, and the demolition of tho structure is morely the ovi- donce snd consequence of the rocklesanoss, extravagance, incompetency, and corruption that havo rendered this step nceessary, We do not soe-liow the raport of the Committes con bo otherwiso than what wo have indicat- ed. Even o casual inspection of the building roveals its defects, and the sciontific tests made under the nuspices of the Investigating Commission have, wo have the bost roason to bélieve, fully confirmed the external evi. offect of ovil communications, Scarcely has tho mournful cadeuco of Congressman Krr. 1rx's gloomy predictions died upon the air beforo a notable organization of ropresenta. tive business-men adopt almost unani- mously @ resolution urging Congress to loso no time in the odoption of mensures for the resumption of specie payments, and to place in the hands of the Bocrotary of tho Trensury the means where. with to carry into effect the Financo bill passed lnst wintor.. The large majority voting in favor of this resolution shows that tho business brain of the country is con- vinced that the best way to accomplish resumption is to resumo, and that definite and practioal astion to that end should not ba delayed. — Mr. Braon has pointed out soveral notablo contradictions in tho Deecmen defonso for whioh the counsel of the defonss are respon- sible. The most striking of these points way made the other dny concerning the abdse of MMr. Mourrow for not destroying the lettor of contrition, after tho counsel for Mr. Beromen had claimed that thislotter bore internal evi. dence of Mr, Brecnen's innocence, Another 18 in regard to tho language attributed to Mr, Beronenm,—such . ag “ paroxysmal kiss," ““moral Niagara,” “soction of the day of fudgment,” ete.,—which his counsel claimed to bo entirely foroign to' his atyle. M, Beacw, on the other hand, has succeoded in showing by quotations from Mr. Bercmen's Bermons, writings, aud oven his testimony in tho trinl, that these, expressions, so far from being foreign tohls style, are easoutinlly char- acteristio. These, of course, ‘aro orrors of his counsel, for which Mr, Dexonen is not responsible. y T m—— Tho igsue in Ohlo ia now made np, and the performance will commonce at once. The Democratio Convention met yesterday, and of course nominated anclont Wirrtas Avrzy for Governor. The platform, in all its cs- sential features, ia n curious piece of work. manslip, It boging with the usual reforenca to the principles laid down by the Fathers of the Republic, out of compliment to the bead of the ticket, 'Then thore is an ambiguous plank sbout the relations bo- twoen the Btate and Fedoral Govern. ments, & declaration In favor of lim. iting tho Presidency to ono term, and against all land-grants and subsidics, tho lat. ter boing good Republican doctrine, Tho currenoy purt of the structure is fearfullyand wonderfully made. If it means anything it means inflation, since it demands tho aban. domment of tho Republican policy of cur- renoy contraction and specie rosnmption, which, say the Ohio Domocrats, hos already brought disaster to Lusiness interosts, and threatens general bankruptoy. The volume of the currenoy is to be kopt equal to the wanta of trado,—whioh it is now, and 1moro, 100,—* loaving the resumption of specio Ppayments to bo brought about by promoting the industries of the people,"—through the incrense of tho tariff, it is to be pro- sumed, The dismal prophet of TPennsylvania thould move over the border ot onco and rosh into the arma of the Ohio Democracy. National Banks are charactorized s a dan- gerous monopoly, and their notes should bo donces. " It is certain that an inferior quality of tho Buona Vista (Cincinnati) stone has boen fur. nished, but this is not tho chief difficulty. The stono has blackened and rusted in some places, which might bo endured, and in oth. ors is chipping, peeling, and crumbling to de- cay. These changes indicate that the layers of clay and iron which aro attached to the stone 0s it comes from the quarry have not been cut away completely, as the universal testimony of Cincinnati builders and con- tractors bolds they ought to be. The 8Xpos- ure of these Inyora to tho winter frosts and summer heat, the rains and sudden changes of our climnte, will unquestionably incressa the discoloration, and scaling, and decay of the stoncs in tho wall But, while theso changes will mar the appearance of tha baild. ing, thoy mny be overcomo to some oxtent by the application of chemical proservatives, and the stono walls aro so thick that oxidization might go on for generations without jeopar. dizing the strength and permanency of tho building, If thoro wero nothing else than tho inferior quality of the stona, there would tunately, there ia no way to escape tho ponal. ties of thoir nogloct or frauds, Wo vory much fear that tho walls muat come down. MARYLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS. The hugo shaft of Bunker Hill, in whose shadow Mr. Toosma bonstfully announced he would call the roll of his slaves, looked upon a momorable scene yesterday, as thousands of Ppeoplo from every part of tho country gathor. od beneath it to colobrato tho &utennial of the first battla fonght for American freedom. It may bo doubted, however, whether all this vast concourso of jubilant people, with the accessoriea of thundering cannon, martial musie, the marching and countormarching of grent masses of troops, tho brilliant decorn- tions of flags and bannors, and the dezzling illuminations, presented n scene so memors. blo as that which took plnce on tho previous day. It was a quiot, simple, unostentatious net, performed without any provious an. nonncement, not Incladed in any programmo, not even known to the peoplo of Boston until ofter it wns concluded, and yot it was full of eignificance for the futura and of forgat- fulness of the pnst,and an omen of good fecling and fellowship moro touching and suggestivo than any of the eventa which oc- curred on the following doy in pursuance of the official programme, The first troops which started for the Bouth upon the eve of tho War of the Ito- bellion woro from Massachusetts, The Pres- ident's proclamation had hardly beon fssued Leforo tho Sixth Massachusotts wns on its way to the field, and the 19th of April, 1861, found them in Baltimore. The violont events which marked their march ncross that city are familiar mattors of history, The demon of secession, notwithstanding the pacific ns. surances of the city authoritiocs, rallied all its forces to oppose their progress. Chocrs for Jere Davis and tho Southern Confedoracy greoted them, and, ns tho troops paid no Leed to taunts or thrents, tho mob beecamo emboldened to break out in open violence. Stones, bricks, and other missilos wers hurled nt them, and at last the rabble fired upon the troops, and the first blood of the War was shed, and tho first victims were Massnchusetts soldiers, This wns tho commencement of tho war for slavery. Fourfeen ycars Iator, on the very spot whero Tooams hod threat. ened to call tha roll of his slaves, arrives s regiment of troops from Maryland. Theirline of march through Boston and Charlestown is witnessed by thousands of enthusiastio spec- tators, who groot thom with choers of wel- come., Therais no thought of the 19th of bo amplo reason for feeling outraged at the official neglect or corruption which has por- mitted {t, but there would not be sufficient onuse for demolishing the walls and retuila. ing with some other moterial at tha enor. mous oxpenso that will bo necessary. Tho real nocessity for tearing down the walls, and ane for which thore scoma to be no remedy, is that tho foundations ars defec- tive. Thoy are scarcely sufliciontly strong to sustain intact the presont woight of the walls, but hialf done, and it would therefors be unwise to risk their capacity to sustain the building when completed. Tho external. ovidence of tho insuficiency of tho foun- dotions is the sinking of tho talls at cortain points visible to the eyo; the separation of the stones, which lots daylight between them, and the displacement of the mortar; and, finally, largo fissures in the brick walls, extending from the top to the bottom. The sinking {s obsorvable mainly about the southwest corner” (Clark and Adams) and along tho Clark stroct front; the other two cornera ond the Dearborn streot front appear to bo in o pretty good condition, Practienl oxperiments have demonstrated the weaknoss of the foundations at the points indicated, Holes were dug, and the charac- ter of tho eorth fully detormined, It was found that ot the northwest corner there is thin layer of ‘soft clay (about 18 inches) un. der the coment, and that, under that, thero aro seten feet of mud; ,t the south. west corner the mud is ‘from ten o twelve feet deep, and scarcely weparatad from the cement of the foundation, J[n meking tosts i was found that tho earth-auger could be pushed down through this mud as ensily a8 n man may Presa o cane through elush or quicksand, As o mattor of courso, the thin layer of soft clay is giving way under tho pressure from above, tho mud 13 cozing out on all sides from under the clay, some water has mode ita way through tho coment in places, and the walls are sinking. ‘This {a the trouble, and we seo 10 way of overcoming it. 1f thero {s none, then it only remains to pull the walls down to avold the constant dangers of an enor.

Its design contemplates walls un. neceasarily thick and heavy, 'fhey would be equally durablo and far levs costly if thelr butk wore not 8o great. A building which is not more than four stories in height has no need of this tramendous welght, which ron. ders every defeot fu tha stone or any weak. uess in the foundation doubly dangerous, But, having urdertaken t0 conatruct such g April, 1861, During the afternoon, Post No, 7 of the Grand Army of the Republio, com- posed entirely of men who had fought in the ‘War of the Rebellion against tho South, somo of them soldiers who marched through Balti. moro on that memorable day, invited the Fifth Maryland, composed of men who had fought against the North, to Boston Common, and presented their former antago- nists with a stand of colors, which wers mo- cepted in bohalf of the rogiment by n Sor- geant who had fought valiantly ogainst the flag ot Appomattor. Tho speech of the Maryland Colonel shows the spirit in which this flag was recoived: * This standard will bo recoived with enthusinsm by our people, 23 tangible evidenco of your brotherly love, and henceforth under its protocting folds, ns in the days of the Revolution, Massachusotts and Maryland will be found shoulder to shouldor.” Prior to this Pprosentation, the Maryland soldiers had still more suggeatively ond touchingly shown their'foelings by a littlo incident as full of tendor beauty as it was of large-hoarted and chivalrio manliness, On their way to the scensof the Ppresentation, they wont quistly and without ooy intima- tion of their purposo to the soldiers' monn. mont in Oharlestown, erectod to the memory of the soldicrs of that city who had fallen in the War of theRobellion, and placed upon the conotaph o beautifulshicld of floworawith tho inscription : “Maryland's Tributo to Massachu- setts.” Tho chief bonuty and suggestiveness of the graceful deed lics in tho quistnoss and modesty with which it was dome, It was such o deod as might have been expsctod from gonerous and chivalrous soldiers, who could bo enomies only on the battlo.feld, and this simplo little deed will go further towards restoring harmony betwoen thoe North and the South and reviving tho era of good-fecl- ing and fraternizat'on than all the political buncombe that can ever be nttered. In com- parison with this little episode, how moan and pitiful sound the utterances of barbarian Beavnzaano, still prating of Lis hatred to the North, and roviving his brutal savagery with reforcnco to tho conduct of war! How small and absurd the gabblo of Searmxs and Lis protestation that he will not attend the contennial of the day of Amorican freedom tobe reminded of his defest and wear the brand of sorvitude! Dew Huy, of Goorgia, in o recont lottor, said that the peoplo of the North and Bouth must complets their {ratornization in epite of the politicians, and that the ora of good fecling and harmony would not be restored until the people cut themselvea looso from political domination, We think it may be safely trusted to tho soldiors who fought the battles and endured the bardships and privations of war to ac- complish this, If theso mon who facod ench other upon the battle-fleld and met in deadly conflict can joln hands in cordial greoting, fratornize with the living and tendorly and gracefully romembor the dend, both in the bluo and the gray, thero is no danger that the two sections are drifting away from each other, Tho troops of Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina, enjoying the hospitality of Boston aud recoived with outstretched arms of welcome, may bo o galling sight to Reavssaazp and Beares and to o handful of Southern bigots, but the great masses of the pooplo will heartily join in the welcome they have received, and rocognizo in It the fact that the wounds of the War have healed. eeee—c— Theve is evidently & detormination on lhu( part of the Government to check the enor. wmous amount of smuggling dona by Euro. poan travelers on thelr roturn to this country, ‘I'his kind of smuggling haa become so gon- cral and large within the last fow years that it is belleved many people go to Europe to stay a couplo of months for the xpresy pur. poso of emuggling goods for private and fam. ily use. The.Commissioner of Customs has eatinated that $128,005,000 worth of dutiable goods wore amuggled into the United States in 1878 by European tourists, who roturned in that year to the number of 47,744 persons, and in 1874 to the number of 47,780 persons, ‘The number of trunks to ench Ppassenger is varionsly estimoted at from three to soven, and the average valuo of their contents ngreed tobe 8600 oach, At the lowest cstimata it is thought that the Government loat 818,000,000 last year by failing to collect tho dutles that ought to have been paid by returning tour. luts. The rule for oxamining the trunks of building, thare ia no sx0us o be urged for touriste is as fallowss, “ Wearing apparel in morchandise, professional books, implemonts, Iustrumonts, and tools of trade, ocoupation, or omployment, of persons arriving in the United Btates, aro oxempt from duty,” Here tofore, in tho absenco of any official instrus tions, this rule hns boen broad enough to onablo the eustoms officors to pass prety much everything. Now, however, the towist is roquired to make a aworn statemont in do- tail of thio contonts of every packnge broight into port, and whenaver tho valno of a packa nge oxceods $500 it is sent to the public stors for inspection and valuation, Tho smount nnd character of wenring apparal, oto., iro also definod closely, so that it is hoped tlo petty frauds, which amount to so much i the ag- gregato, will bo sensibly decrensod, and the customs recoipts incrensed in proportion, But thoro {a o shorter way than al this, to- wit: By reducing tho tarifl, T ——— AMERICAN OREDIT ADZ0AD, The fifth lottor|of ex-Secraary McCort- 1.00i to tho New Yurk Zriduneis devoted to tho state of Amerkan credit abrond.

If it wore not for certnin disturbing causos, it might be botter than that of almost sny nation of Europe, A rapidly-incrensing pipulation, marked by en- ergy, inventive taleit, intelligenco, and per- sonal independence ; a soil fortile and rich in mineral wealth; o omparatively oconomfcal Government; the stindily-pursued policy of paying off tho natbnal dobt,—these facts sliould hnve o most hvorable influonce upon our gecurities.

But thero are, unfortwately, other facts which in groat part countormt those and dopresa our national socuritios Iy scaring capital into othor and loss profibble investments. Mr. McOvrroon onumernios two such facts,—the dofault of sovoral of {ho States and the foar that the nation will firce its bondholders to accept payment of tloir debsin tho depre- clated rag-money whih it deals out to its other croditors. Thalatter fear can ouly bo romoved by the extliction of tho legal ten- ders.

Theso questions botray an ignorance ‘of our constitutional system, but if the pluadered forcigner should o8k, ** What guarantes hava I that tho peopls of the United States, part of whom, acting through State Governments, have repudisted their Btate debts, will not, acting through tho National Government, ropudiate national dobts?” it might ba diffoult to framo a ready answer. Mr, MoCurioon gives an instanco of this fecling. An old gentleman sent some maturod United States bonds through his hands to be paid and sald, as he delivered the papera: “Theso, when paid, will close my connection with tho United Btates; I have been cheated out of one-half of what ono State owos ma, and I donot intendto be cheated again in tho same quarter.” Forty yoars ago he bought 820,000 of Indiana In. ternal Improvoment bonds at par. The Pay- ment of interest on them soon ceased, and aftor some years he got 310,000 In now bonds, loss his share of the exponso of nogo- tiating the matter, and n worthless lioen on tho Wabash & Erie Canal for the othor 810,- 000, Probably there are many citizons of Indiana who are mot aware that thoir Stato was over concerned in such an affalr, The fact has not beon forgotten, howovor, abroad, and it, with others like it, hos crented o much foeling that it is strango that our cradit in Europe is as high as it {a. 18 TH! TION ERUFT 7 The Hon, Witizam D, Kervey, of Phila. delphin, is posscased of two schomes for the regoneration of mankind and the matorial welfare of the counfry. TIW first is that no man shall be allowed to produce more than Le can consume, snd, theréfore, shall have nothing to sell and nothing with which to buy; that, having an exclusivo market in his own home for all ho can produce, he can fix any valuo to it ho may think proper, and thus orodit bimself with any imaginary amount of wages, This ho calls protecting homo labor, The. other schema {8 to mike money plenty by making it cheap; the cheaper it {a the beiter, nccording to Mr, Krtry, who, it will be remombered, from his placo in Congress, plously returmed thonks that the *‘money” of the United States was of a character that waa valueless boyond tho torritorial- limits of the country, He bns had the protective policy in full oporation noarly fifteen years, and it hias been but a short time sinco we published a portion of o speech by him in Philadelphia in which Lo drow a terrible picturs of the poverty, dog- rudation, humillation, suffering, destitution, and even orime of the many thousands of his own immediate constituents who were ‘¢ protected " by law., No flotion of the dis. tress in the collierles and among the agricul. tural laborers of England in the worst days oxceedod in wretchednesa this ono of the laboring people of his own district in the Uity of Philadelphia, where evorybody was protocted, from the rag-picker to the higheet manufooturer, Last winter Mr, Krrrey suc- cesafully obtained from Congress an incrense in the * protootion " to his people, but the mills remain dloged, the factories are unoc. copied, and the working men, women, and children are idle and suffering. Ever sinco 1802 we havo hod the groen. baok or the cheap money, Even at this day, ten years after the rostoration of peace, the greonback dollor is worth only 85§ cents, Mr, Keurzy, howover, finds in ity diminished valuo its greatest blessing. e wanta it to decline more, Greenbacks worth 40 cents in tho dollar would fill his heart with joy, Money would be cheap! In order that it may become thus cheap, he insists that the pnliu dollars shall be lssned until thoy oease to have more thun a nominal value, Fifteen yoars of protection have noarly sti- fled tho export trade of the United tates. The world s willing to buy auything wa may have to sell. but proteotion bas cut off the production ef any manufsctures o sell Iu. world with iron, Pennsylvania has placed a minfmum price on her coal and on her iron, and thoreby limits production to meet the demands of the home markot. When the bomo market in supplied or s disturbed, then the production stops, and tho protected Inborers are turned out to starva to denth. Mr. Kettey is now in tho flold contending that the nation, if not actually bankrupt, is Ho near insolvency that an oxtra session of Congroes to order tho irsue of more groon. backs' may bo n nocessity. Mr, Kerrxr re. gards gold with horror. Ilo thinks a gold currency o fatal mistake, whon tho Govern- mont can issuo paper and eall it dollars, In a rocont exposition of hia views published in tho Philadelphia Times, wo find somo of his romarkablo statoments of fact, and more re- markable deductions therefrom, For in. stanco, he says : We owe mors than $150,000,000 of gold, or ita equiva- Tent, per annum to Eurvps, The smount ia made up of intereat on our Natianal, Slats, and corporate debts, of fralght charges, aud the exponsos of Americans re- siding or travoling abroad. This must be pald in gold, or its equivalent, befors our exports begin to count as commercial ezehangas, Wo think n notion hat enn pny annually $250,000,000 in gold to Europe is mot so hopelessly insolvent. The annual product of gold and silver in tho United States ores not much exceod $70,000,000, and if wo succeod in paying ont of that sum 2250,000,000 the trado evidentlyis a profitable one. DBut the statement shows upon its faco how sadly this man of figures, thoories, and prophecies di- gosts his facts, Ho entiroly overlooks the fact, which is op- parent to the astonished eyos of all the civil- ized world, that wo prohibit the cxehango of commoditios which would render the exporta- tion of gold entirely unnecessary. Wo havo cotton, and hides, and iron, copper, and various other metals in abundance; wo have coal in inexhaustible quantities; we aro ca- pablo of producing nn immenso stockof wool, which, mixed with the wools of other coun. tries, would enable us to manufacture a groat varioty of woolen fabrics. Wo have labor and transportation, and yet with all thoso ad- vantages wo produce nothing to export,— make only for the home mnarket | * Tho agricultural productions form the bulk of onr exports, Wo ship cotton, broadstuffs, provisions, lard, and tobacco, Capablo of pro- ducing every description of manufacturod goods, and finding rendy mnrkat for them in other parta of tho world, we do nothing of the kind, Whon the domand for breadstuffs and provisions fall off, owing to full crops abroad, wo have to ship gold to make good tho deficiency.

Thesubject was firet bronght before the Convention upon & proposition to memorialize Congress to establish a Bureau of Intornal Improvements. This was suc. ceeded by o resolution that Congress improva the lovecs of the Mississippi Rivar, and noxt followed tha scheme of tho Mobile Board of Trado, that Congress shall fmprove the Ten. nessee Rivar 80 as to secure slackwator navi- gotion from its mouth to Ohattanooga, and thenco o canal ba constructed over the monn- tains into the Btato of Georgia, thero con- necting with tho mountaln ktreams on tho eastern side; the water route to bo comploted by digging out, dam. ming, and locking these stroams, so as to give slackwater navigation to Mobile on tho south and Savaunsh on the enst. Tho discussion covered a large ground, including, of course, a like improvement by way of the Kanawha River, over the monntains of Vir. ginin, to Richmond. This latter schema in. cludes n slackwater improvement of the Ohio River, The aggregato cost of the two jobs, including the Olio River, will not bs less than 150,000,000, and the pretext is the affording of a cheap transit of Western prod- ucts to the seaboard. When grain is taken from Ohicago and delivered in Now York, Montreal, Philadelphia, and Baltimore at less than 20 centa a bushel by rail, and atill less by water, thero can hardly Lo o protett for sonding it by rail to the Misalssippl River, and thenca 1,600 to 2,000 milea in canal-bonts over the mountains of Georgia or of Virginia, taking from forty to aixty days in the jour. ney. X dolegote from Cinolnnat! declared that Congress had no more to do with the building of lovees on the Misslssippi River than it had with the flata of Now Jersoy, all of which was true, He might have added that Congress hod about a8 much authority to do eithor of these things ag it had to build canals through the Alleghanies for the imaginary shipment of producta to towns and villages ambitions to bacome seats of commerco.
