Mr, Stowart, undoubtedly scapabla man, could not disengage himself from his vast commercial interests, and alaw which had stood for almost three-quartors of acentury on Our statute-books, and whose wisdom was unquestioned, forbade his tak- ing the office under the circumstances, What happened? Gen. Grant coolly asked Con- gress to repeal tho act, “It refused, a8 was its duty, and the President sulked, 4, Noxt Grant drove Gen. Cox out of tho Cabinet because he refused to appoint cor- rupt and IneMeiont friends of the President to office in the Indian Bureau and elsewhere i violation of Clvit-Service rules and honest vernment, ito drove Joseph Wilson, tho honest Land Commissioner, into retirement because he decided a Missouri Innd clatin of the Dent family adverscly to their interest. 4.

He caused the expulsion of Chartes Sumner from the Chairmanship of the Senato Foreign Relations Comuuittee, a post which he had held for many years, and in which hisservices to the country were of peculiar importance, because he would not support tha St. Domingo scheme, & Ho afterwards tried to bribe Sumner to * acquiescence In the St. Domingo plat by tho offer of tho mission to England. This was athen he saw that against Summer's opposl- tlon the St. Domingy treaty must fail. 9, He appointed his brother-in-law, Cramer, toahigh diplomatic position; althouvh this person had already shown hiinself notoriously ‘unfit while holding an obscure Consulship. 10, He appoin’ another brother-in-law, Casey, to be Collector of New Orleans, an } there maintains him, in spite of his proved Incapacity and corruption and his open vio- TP When pubtle opinion, outraged boyond . When public opinion, outraged boyons endurance at Casey’s misconduct, demanded his removal, he apparently submitted by Fequiring and ostenubly accepting Casey’s resignation, “to take effect on the appoint- ‘ment of his successor”; but he has never appointed a sitecessor, and thus Casey re- mains Collector In spite of the public demand. for his removal. 13.

In this depression of European ag- riculture the American farmers and capital- {sts have sgen thelr opportunity, and their enterprise has received an impulso which may bring about overproduction, Mr, Catrd tells us that the United States have now ten times more acres of wheat than the United Kingdom, they grow twice as much corn as England and France together, and havetwice the number of horses, one-third more en! and four times more hogs than both, production affords an enormous surplus abave thelrown wants, Not, as cynical Ine gas Is mixed with n -sufilel of fresh alr before It gets ton cant, the comm: Dustlon will bo completed, nore heal wil be produced during the com- ustion of the gas ns was produced during ‘As fresh coal first takes the temperatura of the furnace, volatile com: bustible gases are driven off froin it by distil- Intion; ff the coal fs of tho bituminous sort this gas ig mixed with smoke. gas will, like the za3 before spoken of, he en- tirely consumed if it Is imixed with a suMelent quantity of air before it either ense itdoes not matter whether the additional air Js admitted through the ftur- nace door or behind the bridge wall, ‘Che of alr which should be admitted ie firebed grows less and less us the rocecds.
