Some of its statistics are povel a0d joteresting to the student of domes- tic and poltical economy. The exports of cheese last ¥er reached 107,364,666 pounds. Fresh meat exported increased from 8,000 tons in 187 to 2,000 tons in 1877, and the busipess s yet in its infancy. Besides, {resh Deef, OFSters. fruit, butter, and cgge swell the 1t of cxported articles by the aid of refrigera- tors. A company in Delaware has gone into {he business of making Epelish plum-pudding. We send ostmeal to Scotland and beer to Ger- many. A Boston compauy are turning out £,000 cans, equal to 24,000 pounds, of baked Leans and codfish-balls daily, and it finds a Jarge demsnd for both speciltics in England, France, West Indies, and South America. In Jaouary lsst a0 English house sent an agent to tnis country with orders to ship regularly every week Aty barrels of the finest quail, prairie Lens, grouse, woodcock, wild turkeys, canvas- back dacks, and other American game that he sould procure.

Buffalo and autelope meat, venison sod salmon are also among the innumerable articles of food eent from this countrs, not only 10 England but to nearly every other civilized pation. Our coal-oil is mow the light of the world. ———— There is & good deal of the same spirit in South Carplina to-day that there was in 1801, when the national flae was fired upon and the guthority of the National Government defied and fosulted. If all the accounts of Democratic bulldozing and intimidation be true, or if one- tenth of them are true, some of the rascals down there ought to be made to fecl tue force of Uncle Sax’s arm in the way they felt it under SuERMAN in 1864, The bands of men called Red Sbirts are organized with dircct reference 1o breaking up Republican meetings, and the Cnarleston Courier has the candor to tell how they carry on business. Jt describes what re- rently oceurred there: This morning the negroes hegan pouning in. at- tired in their recently adopted Ragical uniform of blae shirts, several mounted clabs and other lgns on foot, embracing 2 large number, being inclnded. Fully two thonsand men, women, and cuildren gotbered, when some eight hundred Hed Sbiris galloped in. captared the mecting, and proceeded to run it on the division-of-time sched- ue. Rousine Democratic speeches were mude. SwaLis failed to sppear. Ssares failed to appear, for the reason that the Democratic Ku-Klux had siven him bis shoice to desist from speaking, flee the country, orbe killed, znd to be allowed to run away must eeitainly be a high privilege in South Caroling. There isn’t much doubt but that South Carolina will give a larre Democratic majority, aud send ufuil delegation of tkat sort to Congress. The mood people of Glasmow fecl greatly saandslized by the wicked conduct of some of the principal Directors fn the broken bank. Most of themn are noted for their pious profes- sions, and for the deep intercst they took in tpending other people’s money in ways that would do the most good. A correspondent says thst Mr. LEWIS POTTER, who 'bad_been a Di- FitoF Emee 1557, and was thé' largest debtor {6° the bank, held a leading position among Free Churchmen, and eneretically promoted charita- Weasd philanthropic objects, sometimes using: the money he had stolen to endow a chari Bewssa strong Sabbatariap, refusing to take in‘or read Monday’s papers, because much of the work upon them was done on Sunday. Joms L WrigHT, one of the new Directors, also took mach interest in church matters and charitable sssocfations. He carried his generosity to such =0 extent that he mow owes the bank half 2 million of pounds ($2,500,000). WiLL1A Tax- 1R, another of the imprisoned culprits, is a well known public mau in Glasgow. He wasa member of the Town Council, Magistrate of Bargh, Preceptor of Hutcheson Hospital, mem- ber of the School Board, President of the Glas- gow Young Men's Christian Association, and was frequently sent to the General Assembly as Répresentative Elder. —— Itscems that Ciocinnati is a- good place to cetdruokin.

Mr. THOMAS 15 a bighly- Tespectable mentleman and a rood citizen. He furved his constituency faithfully and well in e Assembly, aud bis immediate supporters for” Ténominstion, the colored peuple, were per- haps justly grieved at his defeat 1 Convention. But the colored people shou'd reflect that, beiog the nbfoluu: cquals of the whites in the matter of political rizhts, they must learn to bear de- feat as the whites bear defeat. At the late Convention Mr. Tuouas, & colored man, was defeated by Mr. WiLsox, a white man, precisely 2530 excellent white man suffered defeat at the hands of Mr! Tmowmas two years ago. At the next Lewislative Convention Mr. THoMAs, or some other competent colored man, way win the nomination aud be placed on the ticket. The colored people know too well who conferred the elective franchise upon them. and the obli- frations they are under to the Republican party for the civil aud political rizhts they enjoy, and that they must look to the Republican party for continued possession of those privileges. L ————— During the late Rebellion a zood story was told of the Rev. A. C. BaRrky, a Universalist clenzyman well known in the West, who went out with one of the Wisconsin regiments as Chaplain. Mr. Banur saw 50 much wickedness and fofernal cussedness and cruelty on the part of the Rebels that he modified his liberal belicf somewhat in regard to the puvishment of the wicked in the next state of cxistence. Being asked on his rcturn home whether he did not now belleve ina hell, he answered promptly that he did, *as a military necessity.” So Col. Bon INGERSOLL will probably agree that such a ‘place is ncedea when he hears what happened to a nephew of bis at the Cornell University. His fellow-students hazed him wost brutally, bouud and gageed him, shaved ofl his mus- tache, and, after daubing his face and clothes with paint, took him to a stone wall at the top of a steep hill, where he was hung nead down- wards and made to promise that be would doas he was told. When next the Colonel repeats that old Jecturc on the bad place, he willinclude in a parenthesis a few rentences that will pro- vide for cases similar to the above. —_——— ‘The Fifth Senatorial District consists of ‘Wards Thirtecn, Fourteen, and Seventeen,—two West Side wards and oue North Side.

They are up- right and bouorable men, and stand in strong contrast to their opponents oa the other ticket in point of ability and fitness for the oflice of legislators.

Another Hitch Tending to Delay the Paym:nt of the Halifax Award, American TFishermen Violently Driven Away from the New- foundland Coast. Correspondence Between the Two Governments on the Subject. Mexicans Waking Up fo the Neeessity of Policing tbe Rio Grande Border. THE HALIFAX AWARD. A SENIOUS HWITCH. Sprctel Disoatch to The Tribune. New Youri, Oct. 26.—The World’s Loundon Tetter says that Lord Salisbury, British Foreign Minister, has been invited by tbe American Government to cousider scriously the very de- cidea objections which the American Govern- 1went is disposed to make to the payment of the Hulifax Fisheries Award in the new circum- stances created: for both Governments by the recent report of Capt. Sullivau, of the British ghip. Sirius, who was scut to iuvestigate the events of Jan, 5, when a number of American fishermen were violently driveu away from their stations on the Newfoundland coast, thelr fish- ing-tackle destroyed, and their business broken up. Capt. Sullivan reported to his Government thiat the people of Newfoundland were justified in makiog the assault upon American fisher- nen, because by the local law of that sland MACKEREL-FISHING ON SUNDAY IS PRONIBITED, and Americans were fishing in contempt of tbis Jaw. The Marquis of Salisbury bas ndorsed and accepted the report of Capt. Sullivan as embodying the views and conclusions of her Majesty’s Government. The Marquis of Salis- bury formally communicates to the American Government, without taking the trouble even to fortlfy it by laymg it before the Uvited States Government, the report of Capt. Sulli- van upon the facts in the caseas they were »et forth upon the spot to him. Tt is said that the Americun Government has informed Salisbury that the guestion s to whether American fishermen, pursuing their business under the terms of a solemn treaty, are liable to violence at the hands of etty local authorities for infringing local regulations not embodied in the treaty, is too important to be settied by the British Government itself upon the report of a naval oflicer. As the time fixed under the Halifax award for paylug over the money ordercd by that award will expire the 24th of November, it is obrious that the matter must be SHARPLY AND IMMEDIATELY PRESSED upon the attention of the British Government by the American Goverument. The money to pay these awards is now in London awaiting the directions * of the American Department of State, but the singular and unexpected attitude of the British Foreign Office in regard to the events of January in Newfoundland, and re- ported by Capt. Sullivan, has made it a wmatter of grave doubt whether tne State Department can venture to take the responsibility of weak- ening and complicatinz the Amcrican case by paying the money over while Lord Salisbury maintains this attitude. Of course a refusal on the part of the United States to PAY OVER THIS MONEY wilt embroll, for a time at least, the relations of the Dominion both with England and with the United States; but, on the other hand, the ac- ceptance by England of this money fn the actual circumstances of the case would be sure to gen- erate in the United States feclings which could Dardly fail to express themselves disagrecably iu the form of legislation unfriendly to the in- terests both of England and of the Canadian Domiufon. At all events, the situation bas be- come decidedly nncomfortable within the past fow days, and the correspondence on the sub- ject between the two Governments bas assumed a serious character.

The Feeling in Flnancial Circles—Libel-Suit— Railway Matters—Checkley, the Countor- feiter—A Projected Woolen-Mill, Spectal Dispatch to The Trivune. MOSTREAL, Oct. 26.—A reporter of the Star has had fnformal conversations with a number of our bankers and principal merchants on the uneasy feeling now prevailing in financial ctreles: All scemed to agree that there i3 really no reason for alarm in -Canada in connectlon with the monetary crisis in Glaszow. The trade-connec- tions between the Dominion and- Scotand being very inconsiderable, under any clrcumstances, . the failures 1aking place in- Glasgow cannot afiect us farther. than mving rise for a short timeto a want of contidence. ~ Had_the aisasters of the Scottish éity taken place in Liverpool, or any of the great,geats of imdustry in Englaud, the elfect herewould have feen felt nost keenly ;' but. us it 16, -there will be no harm done beyond tizhiening Ihe money-market for & Jittle. - On the wool e found a more cheerful tone iling © than we were led to expect.

Asanevi- denceof returning- prosperity, we may mention one bank—and it 1s_nol amony our larzest mone- tary Institutions, either—which at present is doing a great deal betrer than at the satne Lime Jast year, The discounts in_ October, 1877, were s trifle over §2,000,000, whilst ut_present they are nearly £2, - %00,000. The circalation has slso increased over $300,000 as compared with the sume time last Sear. . Tne lareer banke are also doing well. espe- Zially those with connections in Ontario, wheica mosi marked improvemint in bisiness has uc- carred. We may mention another cheer- fhe sign of the ‘times In the pros- perity of onr manufactunng indnatries. _Six Donths ago the stock of the lindsun cotton-factory sold at 70 and even less, while now $5.000 worth of the same stock was disposed of ot 390, Another, and probably the best, evidence that can be advanced Of returning prosperity, was he fuct of onr city and the Dominion generally being comparatively free for & considerabie time E:A!l Trom disastrous failures which overtook our usiness-housea 1 previons years, It is nowa” rare nccurrence to have & fuilire of any account; und in this respect ontreal ‘has returned to her Tormal condition. It sccmed {0 be the gencral opimion that the Directore of the * Bank of -Montreal made & _rrest mistake in reducing ,their dividend, with an enormous rest at their command, and with a deficiency hich is eaid to be comparatively trifling. To thia cause more than anything clse is attributed the \ant of confidence that ie now making itself felt all round, and doing not a little injury to almost Grery inercst. From the general obinion ex- pressed, the present gloomy fecling is not likely to Yist long. and before many weeks ‘the depression will be forzutten, confidence will be restored, and rencanl of business activity will tnke place.

And a Most Remarkable Explanation of the Transaction. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. BurLINGTON, Ja., Oct. 25.—This community was treated yesterday to one of the most re- markable explanstions that werc ever concocted in extenuation of crime and wrong-dofng,—an explanation that is entited: to take rank with the late remarkable attempt of Tilden to clear himself of complicity with the cipher-dispatches of the Electoral-count era, It was nothiug wnore nor less than an explanation of how the ex-Democratic Mayor, ex-Assistant Cashierof the Merchants' Natioua! Bink, and ex-Treas- urer of the School-Board, A:W. Parsons, was tricked into a defalcation- of $50,000. In order that pgople who have; been swindled out of their money by dishonest bank officials may ‘know how easy tricks may, be played on these officials, and that they may be more charitable fu their judgment of confiding custodfans of other pcople’s money, 1 serid'you the remark- able statement iu. full. Then, too, there may bemen in Chicago, or eletwhere where Tuw TrIBUNE circulates, who ard -situated like funo- cent Mr. Parsons, who may.{earn, by a perusal of Mr. P.’s explauation, how.to get up oue to suit their cases. , ‘The facts in Parsons’ casé'are these: On the 6th of September, 1577, he was at the bank at the usual hour, but during the morning he weot out on some prefense, and ‘fhat was the last seen of him for over a year. Atter Mr., Parsous’ departure it was discovered.that §50,000 of the funds of the bank, $36,000 of sctiool-money, and various other sums, trust fands in his hauds, were missing. Uncharitablg’ buman nature at once led peovle to believe that the missing Par- sons had got away with this money, especially as circumstances all pointed to himas the guilty Dparty. After awhile an arranzement’ was made, and Mr. Parsons rewurned.

Blake, keg.: Ae the time. approaches when, a3 the leal representative of the Merchants' XNationsl Bank ant my bondemen, you will be able to fulfill on your part the agrecnient made with me, T wili proceed to make as lucid a statemens as Tcanof the unfortunate circumstances which in- duced e, on or about the Gih of September, 1837, to leave home without notice to my family or my friends, 1 have delaved thos statement, hopinz that, in the fnvestizations which have been in progress, somethine would be evolved that uce other tougues to give utterance toa ichis more thao the history ofwy mis- While, from the effccts of fhe excitements which T have expericnced for the year past, and the loss of memorandume and papers. Imay be at sea as to dates, Ithiok it wus on Saturday, the just day of ‘August, that, taking my breakfast'a little before 7 octock, 1 started down town and wax met on Jel- ferson ttreet by a manin the zarb and condition, apparently, of a drover, who ina hurried manner Eaid: **One of our men has hurt his fout. and wants you to bring him $1,500 in currency down to the Morning Sun tram, and he will give yon a check forit.” Saying ** very well," I passed into the bank, as T had done a huidred times before on similar vrronds, and, closing the doors behind me, procecded to open thie vault, and opencd my tin'box, in whith, ever siuce the panic.] have zen- erally kept quite & laree sum of money, of trust- funds, kuown only to myeelf. There was in the bor at that time $29,000, all in large notes. none Joss than $30. ~ After] hud deposited it on_the ta- Dle near the vault, it occurred to me that the large bills would not answer the pnrpose, and involun- tarily 1 toak hold of the’ safe-door, and, to my eurprice, it opened, having probably been closed after the combination nud focked. 1 taok from the safe three packawes of currency, contawming $10, - 000, §5.000, and $6,000, —inali'$21 000, —intend- Ing to break open onc of them. Justat that mo- ment T heard an nnearthly groan upon the street, s thougn some one was badly burt. 1 rashed to the larze window on Jeflerson _street, opened it. Jooked out, and saw no one. except tne back of man just disappearing in the alley joining Squires® drug-store. .1 may have continued at the window ninutcs, but. when I returned to the table, the 000 in moncy had disappeared from toe table “here I supposed I bad left it. "hinking poseibly that in my haste Thad re- turned it to the vaait or laid it on_the table. T he- zan to search for 1t, but did not discover uny trace Stit. Asthere wasno_one clie preseat. I began o examine the dour. The little walnut door-catch \vas fastened ol riglit; the ontside oor atil) closed, but not locked or bolted. _ Althansh | hud heard no notse in the house, still I went out aad laoked up the Squires alley, and suw nothing; bul, on re- Inrning to the bank, found under tne'doora card on which was writien, “-Mac has played you » trick; don'tlet on that you have discoveredit. G After gelting my breath [ sent over to Trown's store and nquired for Gillette, but he was Tt there, It then occurred to me now many times 1°had cautioned others ubout Dbeing alone in the " ofice ond leaving the door mm- Jocked: und, . being chagrined. my foolish pride made 'me go to the bank, and, after writing three checks of $10,000, $6,000, and 35,000, eaying on the fece of tucwm, *Pay funas Th thé han{s of E.

Kora moment I was dazed. and started out doors; and {from this time my resl torments began. Ibad scen Gillette, who curtly informed me he bad written no card and left it at the bank for me. By making an effort to control myself, when I was satisfied that I was a victim, I returned to the bank, 1 think, cool, collected, ana pleasant. On Wednesday, (I think it was Wednesday, ) T received out of the post-office a note saying: are gomng to arrest you; it is a put-u) who knows." I Kknow that after that I became almost o lunatic. After the close of business, I retarned to the bank, made notes instead of checks, and thrust them into the money-packages, of va- rious sizes and dates, but I belicve the correct total amount; then, taking what little money [ had lef, some $240, T left. 2s I then expected, my home forever, or until the plotters of my ruin were revealed. Abont nine days afterward, while ot in the evening at the hotel-door. on the Guif of Mexico, 2 man_thrusta biliet into my hands. On opening it read: **You are followed; leave tho country at once, ” - After receiving and reading it, I remember nothing until I came to myself half a mile from the house, dripping wet, sitting on the sea-shore in broad daylight. After this I left the Innc:, goine dowx the coast; and during a storm ost overboard my vest, which was lying on the ganwale, and contained my vackage of books and papers. 'To this fact {am compelled to rely on memory for everything which occurted prior to that time. This_part of my story 1 have withheld from all up to this time, knowing full well how little cred- ence Is_given to trustecs being robbed. unless ac- companied by decided evidence of who the perpe- trators were and I cannot say now that I would not rathier bear the udinm of unfaithfulness to trust than to have the donbting optnions which the world generally gives to relations of wrong suiferea like mine. Further comments, if any, will be made to those who I believe have rutned me. Oct. 8, 1878. A. W. Pansoxss. e THOSE PRECIOUS STONES, Spectal Dispatch fo The Tribune. Krokuk, Iowa, Oct. 26.—Those stones re- ported in the dispatches as haviog been seized in Chicago were the property of Col. Hornaday, of this city. They had been received here thirough the mail, and sent back to that city to be sppraised. The goods were directed to the customs authorities, with a letter of explanation from thie Postmaster at Keokuk, and there was no attempt or purpose to evade the duty. The value of the stanes is about $150 to $200, instead of several thousaud, as at first reported. A statement of the value accompanied the goods. et S ol foand, NOW, LISTEN! Ready-made clothiers talk so loud and long about their cheap wares thata modest merchant- tailor, who sells meritorious goods at moderate fiaures, hardly ets a chance to be heard at all. Without desiing to express an opinion in I gard to the quality of other merchant-taflors® work, we do know that the overceats and busi- ness suits of Mollan, $3 Madison strect, are betier than any ready-made clothier in town can produce, and cheaner than the same quality of poods, well and stylisuly made, can be had auywhere else in America. e ct——— LOOK OUT FOR THEM, The heavy penaltis recently imposed by the German Government on persons offering adulter- ated wines and brandies for sale will have the effect of sendmg large quantities of this class of goods to the Americun markets. Purchasers should therefore be warned against these counterfeits, and turn their attention to tho native productions of the Steuben County Wine Company, which are fully equal to the best importations, and the purity of which is absolutely guaranteed. Depot 170 Madison street. L —— HENRY WARD BEECHER aptly £aid in one of his sermons recently that dress does not make the man, batthat & man well made looks much better well dressed. No one can ex- pect to be well dressed unless they employ good tailors, and we know of no firm that we can recom- mend with more assurance than ‘the well-known merchant tailors of the West Side, Messra. Ordway & Newland, corner of Madizon and Green streets. et —— WHY are Mollan's prices lower than those of any other firat-class mercaant taflor in the city? Simply be- cause at 83 Madison strecet be has low reat; be- cause he is satisfied with small profits; because he understands his bueiness and attends to it himself. His business suits are not only the best but cheapest.
