In 14H tho Union soldtors expressed tholr polltical preferenve, and un exumination of the rocords shows that i877 volunteer sole ajera voted for Lincoin, while only 3,748 yol- ‘Unteers voted for Gen, McClellan, In the Nght of these figures It la probable that the Demu- oratic onitors will not bo so fond of stating that xs many Domocrats va Republicans fought for the Union.

There CHE CHICAGO, TRIBUNE; SATURDAY,, SEP EMBER Are sone Union soldiers in that State, Col. Messinore's atrecious and scoundrelly senti- me 8 have been frequently expressed by mem: hers of his party In private, but itis not usual for Northern Demoarats to bo. guilty of the indiscretion, not to say indecency, of apeaking thom in public. Should the Democrata stteceed, howover, thera Is no doubt.that Northern cars would bo frequently sniuted with expressions as Indecent, brutal, and cowardly. WitniaM Means, a lawyer of Pocahontas, Ark. went Into the store of Chartes Nichols, of that place,a few days ago and purcknsed a pistol. He deliberately toned it, and ats delib- erately walked upto Nichols, and, tolling him to prepare himself, dd not give him much thine to tloso, but shot him through the heart. Monns coolly walked to the police station and gave himself up to the authorities, He Oxprossed no regret for bis act, On the contrary, he sald that he Ought to havo shot Nichols a year before, What the troubto between the murderer and his victim was cannot be ascertained. Such Inci- dents are pecultar to Dixie, THe Counell of Ministers called to discuss the status of the French relizious orders met Thursday and had n very storiny session of two hours, De Freyemet's conciliatory policy was supported by Presitont Grévy, but all tho other Miulstera ranged themeelyes with Gambetta and the “frreconcitubles.” It was finally cone chuled, a4 is now generally bellaved, that no furthor steps shautd bo tnken until the right of* the Government to expel the’members of tho Various orders lias Leen passed upon by the elvil tribunals of the country, ‘The Ministerial crisis, which was betlevod tobe imminent, has thus been averted for a time ni least, A ronnie mine aceldent Is reported from Gold Hill, Nev. ‘The cuble attached to an elevator-cago containing ten mon broke at tho reel, and the cage was preelpitnted 900 fect and Crushed to pleces as welt by collision with the floor of the mine as by the weight of wbont 1,000 feet of the tron cauly whieh fell on it. Nine of the miners woro instantly killed and the tenth was serlousty injured, As usual In alt enses of the kind, nobody 1s to blaine. The frequency of such accldents muy yet lead to serious conse- auences to mine-owners, Even tho life of a poor miner has Its value, and cannot be lost through tho carelesness or parsimony of capi- pists without provoking comment and indigna: on, Geonan Mircién., a colored man, was hanged at Troy, O., yesterday, for the imunter of bis wife, Tho crime was committed tn Sep- tember, 1878, but Mitchell managed to elude the vigllunce of tho authorities til duly, 187. He died expressing the usual confluence in baying ft bappy hereafter. Mo sald ho forgave his eno- ites, but expressed no eorrow for his atrocious erime, The unfortunate man dangled from tho rope for twenty-six minutes before life was en- Urely extinct. Strangulation asa modo of dis- patebing criminals {sat best brutal and rovolt- ing, and the shockingly clumay manner in whieh it 18 carried ont In America ought to suggest to humunttarians an agitation for some other mode of putting an ond to capital offenders. ‘Tux United States Steambont Inspectors who have been fuvestigating the enitses which led to the Narragnnaott disaster have discovered that the Stonington Steambont Company bus been guilty of violution of the laws and rutes of navigation, and have fined the Con.pany $2,000 thorefor, The Inspectors nlso nd that Capt, Young and Capt, Nye, of the colliding vessels, were both to Liame, and they have revoked Young's Ilcenge and rofuse to renow Nye's.

CONKLINGS GREAT SPEECH, Mr, Conkilng's speech at-the Academy of Music in New York yesterday evening was altoxether the most brilliant performance of the campilyn, ‘The readers of The Truss: will tnd it printed In full tn our. columns, and will agree that it well warrants the space given up toit and the unusual effort required to fetch itn thousand miles by wire. ‘The Announcement of the distinguished Now York Senator's first appearanes In the cam palgn created keen antlelpation, and many: thousands of people were unable to obtain admission after the . vast hall had been filled to its utmost capacity. The Republicans of New York and the country, notwithstanding their extravagaut sutlelpattons, will not be disappointed by the address, which ts ferttte in Information, con- vineing In argument, adorned by learning, Mlumined by fashes of wit, and only ecen- sloually spiced with Mr. Conkling’s eharac- terlstic sarcasm, It is 9 speech which. was sincerely designed to promote the Repub- Hean enuse in the approaching Natlonal elee tlon, and It wlll not fail of Its purpose, After declaring that ono or the other of tle two great polltteal parties must. con- trol tha destiny of this country, Mr Conkilng presented a powerful, and largely an orlginal, statement of the sectlonal Issue which one of them represents, Ilu traced back the phrase “bloody shirt’ to ancient origin and nuthority, and proceeded to emphasize its signifieance at the present time with a formidable array of faets and figures which have a direct bearing upon the polltical and business prosperity of the Na- tion. His own arguments were strongly bdked by a letter whieh he read from Gen, Grant, in whieh ‘the great leader of the Unton armies declared again that the coun- try requires the services of the Republlean party until there shall be two Nattonal par- ties, and until every man shall exercise his tight to vote aveording to tils judgement, and shall have that vote fairly counted, The influence of the ex-Confederate senti- ment of the South, in and out of Congress, was vividly pletured by Mr. Conkling, ‘Che South has now thirty members of Congress and thirty Mlectors to represent disfrauehised bincks, it has thirty-two Senators, and needs only seven at any time to mi nminortty of that body, and “1b will never fall to have these,” added Mr, Conkling, “it there are seven Northern Democrats there, It lacks only forty-one members of the House and forty-seven Electors to giveitubsolutecontrol atalltimes, It has the Chairmanship of sey- enteen out of twenty-eight committees In the Senate, nud these the most Important. For Instance, the Itiie Stato of Delaware lng the. two Committees on Elections and Finance, while the great State of New York has the perfiuetory duty ef watching the Patents; the untmportant State of West Virgluin controls the Committeo on Appro- priations, while the vast Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is charged with the Revision of the Laws,—a work long stneo completed, So Jn the Mouse, the South has twenty-two Chairmanships out of forty-two in all, In fact, It only needs the control of the veto power Iodged by the Constitution ip tho Executive (now itgaliist it) to become con- ploto muster of National affairs. How deplorable it will be to Intrust the material interests of the country to the tentlor morey of Southern legistation fs tHlus- trated by naketeh setting forth the relative commerce and taxpaying resources of the North and South. ‘Mr, Conkling figures out that the Democratle party of the South, which controls = Democratic Con- Gress, ropresents not more than one fourteenth of tho producing, commercial, manufacturing, - and. tuxuaying Interests of the country, Ho cites stntisties from tho customs, the internal revenue, the rall- roads, marine, exports, linports, bank efren- lation aud deposits, mall distribution, mann- factures, intulng, fimmigradon, education, ete, which substantiate in detall the asser- tlons he makes, and which ought to appeal with telling foreu to tho capltal and property interests of New York and tho entire North. For what he calls “the mildew and sterility” of the South, which are the results of Vielous mathods, cannot ‘be — renson- ably trusted to discriminate against tha thrift and prosperity of the North. ‘Khe material Interests of tho Jcountry demand, as he aflirms, "just snd friendly Jawa and tho wholesome administration of the Government.” ‘This enn senreely bo as- sured by placing the paying power of the Government in the hands of the non-taxpay- ing part of the people, Not tho least striking portion of Mr, Conk- Ing’s address Is that in whieh he shows how 660,000 Itepublican votes were made to disap- pear at tho South in four years by means of ostracism, tyranny, — and fraud, snd how an ill-gotten power has been used to repudiute honest debts and porpetrate. other wrongs, ‘This statement of the case becomes all the moro slgnificant from the fact that the South with have the power, when onco established In the control of the Government, to bring In seven new States without stretchhys former usage, to revolutionize tho Jaws and the Courts that pass upon them, fll up with its own material tho skeleton of the army, and otherwise as- sure Its ascendency for n generation to come, Relative to the Demoerntle pretensions to economy, professions of reform and other de- ceptions, Mr, Conkling delivered an aphorisin whieh should tye throughout the campaign, “Ita race was to be sailed on the sen of ge- tion,” hu sald, “the Inventor of such state- ments would surely take the cup. ‘There Is one part of Mr, Conkling's ad- dress which will sorely trouble thu Demo- erats who have been siniling sardontenlly at IMs silence, We refer to lls eulogy of Gen, Gurfteld, which he netd for the close In order ta make tt the more Impressive, Mere $s what ho sald of the Republican enndidates: ‘Tho candidates we support, besides belng Ho. publican, are inrgely. titted for tho stations which await thou. ‘Some service with biin in Congresa his made me well acquainted with Gen, Gurictd.

If Mr. Conkling should not say another word before election, hewill have contributed iu this slugle speech his full share to the renewed success of the Re- publica party, which that speech fully Lore- shadows by the appeal It makes to the intel- ligence and justice of the Amerienn people. A WORD WITH REFLECTING DEMOCRATS The demonstration of the Greenback strength in Maine, though not so formidable asat first heralded to the vountry, lins be- come especially significent because it wags received with approbation by Gen, Hancock, the Democratle enndidate for President, and has been treated by the Democraticmanagers not only ag an advantage gained by thelr own party, but in the Nght of a Democratic Victory: Recent Democratle uttrances would seem to Indicate a desire to amalgamate with the Greenbackers to any extent that may be thought necessary to gratify tnelr offlec- grabbing Instincts and to promote the suc- cess of Iancock and English as alnypuers of Office, and attenipted concessions, trades, bar- gaing, and divistons may probably be looked for between the Democrats and Greenback- ers, unless the fatter refuse to make any alllance with their anelent enemies, Heneo it ts Important that tho merchants, the mann- facttrers, the farmers, the business-men, and the substantinI classes genernily should be Informed of the Pirpose to which the'ndvo- eates of Oreenbacklsm are conunitted and for which thoy, are willing to saerifics all other Issues and all other principles, 1, They propose first to abolish all the Na- tlonal banks, and replace the 350 millions of notes with new issties of greenbueks regard- less of the 400 millon limit fixed tn the con- traet with the publle creditors, and regard- less of the opinion of the Supreme Court that freed paper cannot be Issued and innde a legal-tender in thne of peace, 2. ‘Yo purehase bonds with all the gold and allver In the United States Treasury and stop the redemption of the greenback, and thus mike them permanently trredeemable while constantly Intlating their volume, 3% To refund none of the $782,000.00 of bond fallliig due or becoming redeemable in 1881, but to pay them with tho coln reserves in the Treasury and with new Issttes of Irro- deemable greenbacks, which would require about 100 mitiions innddition to the present volume of greenbacks. There would then be nearly 1,000 millions of Irredeemadlo greenbacks In ebrenlutton, regardless of all fisen! and constitutional objections, 4.'To go on issuing more Irredeemnble notes and foreing them on the public credit- ors aud people ns fast as the bonds become redeemmble, until all the Natlonal debt is chunged into the form of irredeamable, «de- preelated, flab shinplasters, ‘This, in brief, Is tho program of the Green- back purty on the currency question, Wo ent the attention of business-men to these propositions, and ask them to considor thelr effect on the prosperity of the conntry. ‘The direct effect of the polley thus out- Mned may be readtly.forestindowed, ‘To be- aln with, the legal-tender paper money of the country will be practically doubled by the abolition of the National-bank notes ;and tho substitution of Government forced paper. ‘This single change would be radien! enough to shake the present solid foundations of re- sumption to [ts fall, and cause suspension. But, in order to assure the abandonment of 8 specle basis, It 1s further proposed to pay out nll the gol and silver now held in the ‘Trensury to protect the Government paper currency, and alt other coin which the Goy- ernment may be able to obtain, for the re- demption of the Government bonds which are tomature next year. With the volume of legal-tender notes doubled and the United States Treasury absolutely exhausted of its voln surplus and {ts coln resources, suspen: sion Is compulled and specte-payment will of course be a thing of tho past, and anew era of irredeemable and depreciated currency will then of necestity be established, What such ‘notes’ will be "worth! When enough of them. are manufactured to wine outthe bonds and the National credit therewith each render niust judge for hinself. Sad experience hing taught tho country what losses and suffer- {ngs aro Incldent to an artificially inflated, tr- redeemable, depreciated, and depreciating currency. From the very moment that re- demption on demand shall no longer be probable, depreciation will setin. The New York gold-rooms will be reopened and old- tine gumbling Jn specie will be revived, a\s tho purchasing power of the irredeem- uble currency shail fall off from month to month, there will beta praciical contraction af money and a popular clumor for more issues of greenbacks to “equal the wanty of trade.” ‘Iho moro Irredecmable notes that shall be issued, the greater will be the depre- elation, ‘This process will go on elther to the antural outcamo of repudiation, or tll It shall be checked with the shock of another erent panie, and atoned for througha long pertod of gradun! contraction and universal depression, distress, and bankruptey.

The detective records in New York have reeontly supplied thé details of an oxtromely Intoresting case of robbory, coupled with an equally Interesting exampleof detective skit), and the whole story points a valuable moral to vain women. Itapponrs that, in November lust, Fontano & Co., Parisian jowelera, were robbed of two diamond neckinces, valued at 50,000 franes, ‘The robbery was perpetrated bya Bulgarian named Kalltcher, with tho assistance of an nccomplice named StorlJoice, ‘The former dashed a stone through the wine dow tn broad daylight, seized the dlanionds, and fled, pursued by the crowd, ‘Tho latter, apparently belonging to the crowd, jolned in the purault, and, coming up with bis pal, the dinmonds wero transferred to him, Kallteher was caught, and eight weeks afterwards his confederate was also arrested, and both men weresentenced to fifteen yeara’ imprisonment. ‘The tileves were taken, but tha diamonds could not befound, ‘The Paris police songht long, far and while, for them, but could get'no trace of them exeopt tho general suspicion that there was a woman in the case, No trace, however, could be found of the woman, and after sending Intelligence of the robbery to all the princlpul citles of the world they rested the ense, In Mureh last, Andrew MeManus, a Now York detective, while In a flarlst’s shop in Newark, N, J. overheard # Freneh joweler remark that a French woman had been selling dinmonds in Newark, This was not a remark able clreumstance of itself, but, taken In con- nection with the robbery fiva months previe ously, which at once occurred to tho detect Ive, he commencod with this slight thread to soe what he could discover, He begun his Investigations first In Newark, and found substantially that the dlamond-brokor was a young and begutltul woman, who could not speak Englsh, and used an interpreter; that she had visited several of the Newark Jew- elers, whe would hot purehase from her bo- cause sho could not glve n clear account of the mauner fs which she became possessed of the gems; that sho had a large amount of money; thatsho had had her photograph taken and ordered the printa sont to Paris; and thatshe had made jnquirles about the wumes of dealers In New York. Go- Ing back to New York, he found the firm to whom she had sold the diamonds, and the still more important fact that sho sold the settings of the necklaces to t 4 Jeweler in Newark, ‘By intercepting one of the lutters he learned her address fn Paris, In some manner heobtained photographs of tho necklace plates and sent them to Fontano & Co., who at oneéftentified thom, He then forwarded the addres¥ Gf tho woman to the Chivf of Police In Paris, Who gent there and arrested her. ‘The diamonds, were subse- quently recovered. ‘ 1? ‘The details of tho case show that {t was the personal vanity of the woman whieh led td her arrest, Sho left Franco as 1 steerage-pas- senger, and Innded at Castle Garden in a very gulet way without attracting any suspicion. Immediately upon landing in a strange clty, however, her vanity dispelled all hier caution. She blossomed out into a handsomely-dressed woman, drove to a hotel, and sported herdlamonds, Her van- ity further fuduced her to have her pictures taken with the fatal diamonds upon her, After disposing of them she sold tho gold settings and had thom made into rings for her further adornment, ‘Thus step by step she laid her own trap and walked straight {nto it, Had she been less vain and able to withstand the temptation to make a display of herself, she would have destroyed tho set- tings, disposed of tho diamonds, avoided photographers’ shops and hotels, and slipped. back to Srance as quietly as she left it, with- out aronsing any suspiclons, and tho only ones to suffer would have heon the two Bul- garians, whoso adrottness in getting tho dlamonds ont of sight was as remarkable as the silliness of the woman who furnished tho detective with all the clews he needed, BRITISH AND AMERICAN AGRICULTURE, ‘The London Tines derives great comfort from tho report of Messrs. Pell and Rend, tho British Commisstoners who vistted the United States to examino and report upon the nyrl- cultural condition of this country, Our rend- ers will remember that we printed tho ma- terlal facts of this report a few days ago, and the hopeful conclusions of the Commilssion- ers that the British farmers, and consequent- ly the British tandlords, had nothing to fear from Amertenn competition, The conclusions to which the British Com- misstoners arrived were: That agriculture in the United States was a wholly primitive Institution; that it depended for Its great yield upon the constant pursuit of virgin soll; that, as soon as this faited to yield, tha producer moved on towards the setting sun; that under this system the yield of bread- stulfs at the Enst was continually falling off; and that the surplus wheat which the Americans had to sell was now produced at such vast distance from the seaboard that the cost of transportation must ‘always pre- vent it being sold in competition with British wheat, except in years where the domestic supply of the latter wasn failure, The same general result was also reached by tho Com- missioners In the matter of ment supply, and. in that of dairy products, ‘The London fince confesses n surprigo at these results, and seemingly takes satisfac- tion In belleving that American agriculture Is so far Inferlor to that of England that the attempt by this country to. supply food for the world can hardly be successful.

Tho foot of prairie hay and Indian corn, the Intter furnished and devoured in greater abundanco than can be chewed and digested, will not produce the quality of beef needed in the British market, The quantities slaughtered and canned at Chieago are enormous, but though the En- glish grazter has been frightened, tha Amer-* ienn trade in beef Is held to be at best an exporlment, and for the reason thus stated: Loss and profit are comprised within tho range ofa penny per pound, As to the dead ment, tho Americas complain, justly onough, that aftor the sciontifio and fastidious eare given to tho Leat Joints of prime beof, up to the point of une roading nt JaVverennt, then ull care conses.
