Fertj? sa id : „*

- Mr , ” P-R E SIH E K T : Atimonisiied by the. Jatcticss of the sosaion- ami tho ponding resolution ifixitig the ' day of final adjoarnmont, I shall forego what I intended at more-length to say, and co_ntcnt myself with as brief-a state ment- o f the reasons which disstiadc

thecmveurroi oe in the present repeal'of the resumption 'tiot as the importance of the subject will allow.

After fuH Gonsidoration of House bill No. 805,- which' proposes “ to re­peal all that part of the act approved January 14, 1875, known as the re­sumption >ct, which authorized the Secretary o f tho Treasury to dispose of United States hands and redeem and cancel the greenback currency,” your Committee on Finance have deem d it inexpedient, to commend 6uch repeal, and instead • have recom­mend >f to the Senate the-adoption of an amendment as a substitute for the bill, whisk embraces three proposi­tions:

First. That United States notes shall at once he receivable, the same as.coin, in purchase o f the 4 per cent. Grovernment bonds.

Second. That on and after Octo­ber 1, 1S7S, United States notes shall be receivable, the same as coin, for duties on imports.

Third. That United States notes outstanding and in the Treasury on the 1st day o f October, 1878, shall not be retired and canceled, but be reissued from time to time and form part of the permanent -volume of the currency o f the country.

The inexpediency-of now repealing so much o f the act of January 14, 1875, as provides for the resumption of specie payments on the 1 st day of January, 1S79, is supported by the fact that United States notes are to­day within three eighths of 1 per cent, of gold, and reached under the act now sought to he repealed; hastened no doubt by the beneficial effects of the act to authorize the coinage of tho standard sliver dollar and to re­store its legal-tender character, which passed at this session. The resump­tion act was the result of mutual con­cession o f antagonizing opinions and substantially a compromise measure. Gold, on the day the act passed, held a premium o f I l f per cent. Public opinion was then more or less divided upon the best method to bring gold and currency together in value. F ix­ing an early day for resumption and preparing for specie payments by a rapid contraction o f the currency and the accumulation of gold by the sale of bonds waB the method pressed by those who considered less the distress and disaster of such means than the assurance of an end which should base the measure of commercial values up­on gold at whatever cost to the people. This was antagonized by others, who protested against forced resumption on any day fixed by statute, and con­tended that it could sooner and easier be reached by the. laws of trade— the forces o f supply and demand, Against contraction of the currency and the hoarding of gold at the expense of an increase o f the interest-bearing debt of the nation, they contended. To

ger discredit United States notes by refusing to receive them for duties on imports, they urged, was a serious obstacle in the way of the restoration of the currency to, par with gold.

I confess, Mr.-President, that as an early advocate o f the receivability of United States notes for duties and against contraction andforced resump­tion, as the safest, speediest method

’.of arriving at resumption, rather than by naming a day when- specie pay­ments should be enforced, I reluctant­ly joined in the compromise- measure of 1875, which-I feared would entail upon the business and toiling commu­nity ’incalculable woe. ’ The'universal distress and unparalleled' failures which. have- followed these past years of trial,must sadly record 'the severity

-of tfhe process which has brought the country so near resumption., and so close to-fina’iici'al truin'. The remone- tiza'tloii of .silver- was a tardy, step in

1 the right' direction, and .though taken in the face of the protests and fore­bodings o f its opponents, the'measure has partly' lifted the burden and ex­torted‘the'confession' that its aid to a return o f commercial confidence and national prosperity has been, and is, undeniable,

The provision for the 'coinage of -from two to four millions of silver ' dollars monthly, to swell :tlio circulat­ing' medium of the ‘country, has be­come an efficient iigenfc o f relief in the current stringency'. ; Iff is’ gratifying to notice how promptly the Secretary of the Treasury has provided, for the execution of. this, remedy .by having at this early day ally the ; Government mints at work, coining the silver dol­lar. Over two and a- half millions have already been coined. '• That tho financial condition-of the-country fa­vorable to early resumption may not, be underrated, .it may be well to com

m ilk in g a t o ta l o f . ............................... . 990,003,009Under a repeal of resumption the

available volume of circulating modi; um would be on the first day o f Janu­ary, 1879, six hundred arid’six-ty-live' millions, and gold necessarily advanc­ed in premium, while simply amend­ing the resumption act as proposed by your committee would give tho country then’ as its available volume Of circulating medium, composed of, gold, silver, and currency at equiva­lent value with gold,, a total of §>990,- 000,000. ' .

The quickest and doubtless the sur­est way to bring about an increase of the circulating medium,, equal to the wants of the people, and. ample to im­part life to the now prostrate e n e r ­gies of the nation, and to restore com­mercial confidence to. every avenue of industry and trade, is to provide for such increase as the pending amend-, ment will; and, as auxiliary, for the further advance of value of United States notes, to place them at par with gold at the earliest practicable ■ moment.

This desideratum is sought by the measure proposed by your committee. One feature looks at once to this. The exchange at par, as it provides, of these notes for 4 per cent, bonds which are purchasable only in coin, and are to-day in market above par in coin, will immediately advance their value. These notes then reis­sued in retiring bonds bearing 5 and 6 per cent, interest, will lessen to that extent the interest-bearing obligations of the nation, and measurably strength­en the public credit. The amount of 4 per cent, bonds authorized is ten hundred millions. The amount al­ready sold is less than one hundred millions, leaving still issuable over nine hundred millions. Funding a like amount of ten hundred millions equally of 5 and 6 per cent, outstand ing bonds into these four per cents, will be a saving to the Government of fifteen millions o f interest annually. Besides, the four per cent, bends, taken at home and in denominations of $50 and multiples, will not only enter into current exchanges but en­rich rather than impoverish the nation to the extent o f the accruing interest paid to our own people, instead of to holders abroad. This desirable ob­ject will be hastened by making these bonds exchangeable for United States notes, for their sale is less rapid in Coin. This process o f exchange will quicken as soon as the right is given, and the authorized issue of these bonds ere long be exhausted, it will become the people’s loan to the Gov­ernment, and he so popular that au-. thority for additional -issues will be demanded, until our own people in­stead of foreigners shall hold the pub­lic debt, and tho interest wholly be drawn at home .rather than shared abroad. *

The late sale of fifty millions of 4J per cent, bonds by the Secretary of the Treasury at a premium of. l-£ per cent, in gold, with accrued interest, is an assurance* of this as well as evi­dence of an advancing public credit.. The remarkable ‘financial condition of France, so recently emerging from a disastrously exhaustive war, 13 largely attributable^ to her public debt being held by her own people. A measure which provides for the exchangeability of non-interest for low-interest.bear­ing obligations of the. Government

aider, by comparison, the monetarystanding of the country at.the passage of the resumption.act and now, when a proposition is pending for its repeal.

: The original creditors of the nation’, who staked their capital on the issue of fratricidal war, have been well paid for the faith they ‘ placed in ;the final triumph of a just cause. They loan­ed, their money-to the imperiled Gov­ernment with low cre d itth e y gather their reward off large' premiums from an impregnable nation with high cred­it.

upnoias . the value, o f • the one. and strengthens the. holders of .the other. This- feature of the amendment-pro­posed, must commend itself to general support. . . . . .

I may now consider the second fea­ture of the amendment,’ that United States notes shall, on and . after the 1st day of October-next, be receiva­ble 'for duties, on. imports. By the act approved February 25, 1862,.it. was provided,- ‘ ‘that .all duties _ on im­ported. goods shall be -paid in. coin or- in notes ’payable:on: demand hereto fore authorized to be issued,, and by law receivable in payment of publ dues.” These notes .referred to were Treasury notes payable on demand to the amount of Sixty . millions, issued and made, receivable, in . payment of public, dues under the. acts approved’ July 17 and August 5, 1861, and February. 12, 1862.-- It Was a fatal* mistake that the policy -of receiving. United States notes was not continued under subsequent ‘statutes, that the, ‘country might have egcaped'the' mis/ fortune which has followed.i(s denial' •It was;.however, the judgment o f our. lawmakers in the midst of a civil war, when-.eleven States in rebellion tKi'eat- ened the .dismemberment o f the'Union

further insist that payment of customs due3 in gold is longer necessary to maintain the .public..faith. Our,obit-, gations to holders abroad having ceas­ed, duty to citizens:at home requires that the Government they periled and. sacrificed life to .perpetuate shall now turn its attention to . upholding its credit with its own people. The Gov­ernment should now. provide for re­ceiving for all public services what i t . obliges individuals to. tako for all pri­vate transactions. While gold was at a large premium, nearly if Vnot quite equal to , that on bonds;, there was a, force in the argument that there., should he some certain, reliable source of supply to the Treasury of coin to pay the interest on the public debt; for without it the Government might’ find’itself embarrassed to meet express obligationsbut With United States notes nearly equal to gold the argu­ment falls and the disparity should end. The people have been willing to bear with patient fidelity a dis­crimination against themselves for the public faith, but they will no longer brook a discriminating burden when it antagonizes the public welfare. The plea, moreover, cannot be urged that i f customs dues are not paid in coin the Government will be compellr ed to buy at disadvantage in open market to provide for coin obligations. A t what disadvantage, then, I ask? The competition ’ in market of thou­sands o f importers daily bidding for coin to gay tile duties on their in­voices, which of itself kept up and active the premium, would end by liberty to pay in United States notes. There wo'uld then be but one compet­itor. 'The Government would be the sole purchaser and substantially dic­tate its own terms, and' premium, if any, would be nominal.

The nation' eannot longer with cred­it forego removal o f discredit on all of its legal-tender; notes for the * paltry saving off three-eighths of 1 per cent, on the amount required to pay the interest’ on the public debt, and hope to escape general reproach. No fears" need be apprehended that the Govern­ment may have to seek supply of coin ' abroad. The annual.product of coin in the country is $84,0.00,000. The annual interest oh the public debt is $91,674,544. 'Under the provisions of the act remonetizing ' silver there will soon be an average outstanding of silver certificate's ’ in circulation more than equal to the interest due to holders of bonds by bur citizens, and suffioi'eht’ of these could readily be secured for such semi-annual interest, obligations; so that, in every boh; ceivable aspect, the necessity for de-. nying United, States notes their rlght- ful place in circulation “fi-as departed and it is proposed now that full -value to them shall-b'e.impart'ed. . /

The Berrien County Record, Buchanan, • Michigan, Thursday, May 23, 1878.gr; ei.baefc advancing so nearly in value to-coin will yet distance its silver companion and command; a premium for portable convenience over ponder* ous coin. I cite; as .proof from the How York Times o f .the 26th o f last, month this paragraph:

PAYING A PREMIUM FOR GXXXXBA.OK3.San- Francisco, April 25.—In this city re-,

centlv small sums of greenbacks have been: purchased for gold coin at a premium o f fifty cents for over §1,000-in notes.

Greenbacks will then, i f not before, put to blush such as have aimed to disparage those who have long -plead for their placement in the honored prths of trade. No ono then, as here­tofore, will seriously doubt the feasi­bility of allowing greenbacks to he re­ceived for duties.

To make doubly certain a sufficient supply o f coin in the Treasury to meet accruing interest on the public debt, there are still some who are in­different to the act o f discredit to these notes, by refusal to receive them for all public as well as private uses. It seems to matter but little to them that between citizens they are made to serve every moneyed purpose, while between citizen: and Government, they are denied for certain. Uses, validity and value. No individual upholds his commercial standing who in any way impairs his promissory paper; nor can a Government keep its finan­cial honor unsullied by discrediting in any manner its obligations. The time is propitious, and the opportuni­ty rare, for every Senator to record bis disapproval o f tMs financial anom­aly, by the support o f a measure which looks to early release from this nation­al dishonor.. This amendment may not be just what each Senator would frame, but may it not be such a one as most can unite upon and support ? I t leans not to either extreme finan­cial opinion, but is poised on moder­ate views, and framed by mutual con­cession. It breathes the spirit o f our institutious, for it is the growth of compromise. It deals with a question affecting every fiber of commercial and industrial life. It. is more or less vital to every citizen. It concerns the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the idler and the toiler. It touches the relations: of capital and labor. It advances or retards the prosperity o f the nation, and strength­ens or relaxes the bonds of the Union. Your committee therefore invite the Senate to consider and concur in the amendment submitted..

TheT1IE PLAN.

plan o f someDemocrats in regard, to the

of the leading investiga­

tions, is that when the committee .shall find, i f they ever do, evidence upon which they can convince the country that the electoral votes o f Louisiana and ^Florida should have been counted for Tilden, a resolution will be presented in the House, declar­ing that tho seating of President Hayes and Vice-President: Wheeler was illegal, and declaring vacancies to exist in thoir offices. I f this reso- ution passes the House it is expected

also to pass the Senate, and in that case Congress will refuse to longer recognize either President Hayes or Yioo-Preaidont Wheeler, but will rec­ognize as the President o f the United States the Senator who shall be elect­ed President pro tern o f the Senate, and this Senator is intended to he Thurman. There is no very great probability, however, that such a con­dition of things—is to be brought about, as there will not he a majority that will allow any such resolution to pass either House of Congress, if proposed.

POTTER’S SCHEME.Mr. Potter, of New York, has in­

troduced and succeeded in getting passed by the. House a resolution to investigate the election returns made in 1876 from Florida and Louisiana, with a view to showing that the Pres­ident was fraudulently elected and has no right to his title. Mr. Hale offered an amendment, adding the investigations of crookedness in Ore­gon and Mississippi, hut this the Democratic majority would not listen to for one moment, and the resolution without the amendment was passed, and the country nfay now expect to be treated to a sweet bit of investigation news for a few months. Mr. Hayesis now beginning to learn the true

tionary scheme, which, after five days’ duration, terminated in tho success of the conspirators. The Republicans offered to favor the fullest investiga­tion into all alleged frauds by which­ever party charged to have been com­mitted, but the Democracy pursuod its course shamelessly and relentless­ly, and 8tilled all inquiry into attempts at bribery in Oregon, South Carolina and Louisiana, and murder andvio- lence in several o f the States. Neither amendment nor debate was allowed. The inexorable previous question was applied and enforced. Tnis scheme, i f pursued, (and it is now fully inau­gurated), can only have the effect of further, paralyzing business of all kinds, preventing the restoration of confidence, which seemed promising, casting a gloom over every household and bringing our nation into reproach before the civilized world. The peace of the country is the first considera­tion o f patriots. This new effort of the Democracy to inaugurate anarchy, and Moxicanize tho Government, by throwing doubts upon the legitimacy of the title o f the President is in keep­ing with the record of that party, one wing of which rebelled against the Government, while the other wing gave them aid and comfort. "We call, therefore, upon all who opposed the rebellion o f 1861, without distinction of party, to rally again to the support o f law and order and stable govern­ment, and to overwhelm with defeat the reckless agitators who, to gain political power, would add to tho present distresses of the country by shaking the foundations o f the Gov­ernment which they failed, in a four years’ war, to destroy.

SPEECH OF HON. E. W. KEIGHTLEY.

character and appreciation of the Democratic brethren to whom he has so freely offered th8 olive branch. Of the origin and probable effect of thi3 move the New York Sordid says: “ No. intelligent man o f either political party can longer doubt this whole batch, of incendiary attempts is insti­gated by Tilden., He never did any- ‘ Ing more characteristic of his still-

hunt, methods, This astute: and se­cretive plotter, who mistakes cunning for wisdom, is no doubt sincere in thinking he has been defrauded o f the office to which he Was elected by the people, and he probably justifies to himself the underhand attempts he is making to shake the stability o f the government, imperil public tranquili­ty, and disturb the business of the country. But neither his aim nor his methods will be indorsed by the pub lie sentiment o f the country.- I f the Democratic party sets, itself in array against the title of a President who has been regularly inaugurated and has completed nearly half his term, the party will exhibit a truly remark­able example of political suicide. The indignant opposition of the country to; an attempt to Mexicanize our in­stitutions will render the Democratic party as odious to public feeling and, as contemptible in numbers as it was at the close oE the civil war. This great blunder of the Democrats the Republicans are prompt to seize upon to their own advantage, as will be seen by the Republican address which is issued oh the heels o f the passage of the Democratic resolution. Against the cry o f fraud; they raise the cry of revolution, and they will unite the whole North once more in their sup. port.”

The Republican Congressional Com­mittee has issued the following ad­dress:

To the V oters of the United States.— The Democratic House of Representatives has to-day, by a par­ty vote, adopted a resolution, which, under the pretense of an investigation, is to lay the foundation for the revo­lutionary expulsion o f the President from: his offiee. This is the culmina­tion of a plot which has been on foot from the day that Hayes and "Wheeler were constitutionally declared, elected. It made its first public appearance in the resolution o f the,last Democratic House, adopted at the close; of the session declaring: that Tilden; and Hendricks were elected. Tilden and Hendricks subsequently made similar public declarations Jhemsolves. A few timid: members have long held back and some of them, after being coerced to a final vote, still pretend that they will halt as soon as their partial and one aided investigation shall be* ended. In other words they intend, after hearing suborned evidence, to bring in a verdict that Hayes is a usurper, and that he shall remain in office. These men have no control in the Democratic party. They dared not even follow Alexander H. Stephens in a revolt against caucus dictation to the extent o f showing some semblance o f fair play. They will bo impotent in the future as they have been in the past. Moreover it is difficult to be­lieve in their sincerity, in view o f the public avowal of their party that its purpose is, i f possible, to displace the President. It is a matter o f history that the resolution just: adopted was framed to express: this Object. The Speaker o f the House was consulted in advance as to whether he would rule that it was a privileged question. The party managers were: anxious to conceal their purposes, if possible. In this they were defeated by the Speak­er, who would not rule it a question o f privilege: unless it clearly assailed the title of the President. Q.’he reso­lution being offered, he read a care? frilly prepared opinion, deciding it to he a question of the highest privilege, because: it involved the question Of the validity of Hayes’ title. Here are his very words:

“ A higher privilege, than the one here involved and broadly and direct­ly presented, as to the occupancy o f the Chief Executive chair o f the Gov­ernment; and the connection, o f high Government officials with the frauds alleged, the chair is unable to con­ceive. The chair finds enumerated among the questions of privilege set down in the manual the following Election o f President. The chair therefore rules that the preamble.and resolution embrace a question o f priv­ilege o f the highest character, and recognizes the right of the: gentleman from New York to offer the same,”- Upon this the Republicans oom- tasneed, a struggle against the revolt!

Mr. Keightley, the member of Con­gress from this district, delivered a speech in the House of Representa­tives, May Sth, giving his reasons for voting against the repeal of the re­sumption act, which we would like to publish in full, but its great length prevents. It is replete with sound and solid argument in favor of honest money. The following quotation is the closing portion of the speech: R E S U M P T IO N D O ES N O T M E A N C A N C E L ­

L A T IO N .

The cancellation or retirement of the legal-tender noteB will not follow resumption. Under the Secretary’s construction o f the present law they would still be kept in circulation. But that no possible doubt may exist it is to he hoped that the wise provi­sions reported by the Finance Com­mittee of the Senate in lieu o f the act passed by this House will" become a law.

The present volume of paper circu­lation will he maintained, not dishon­ored and depreciated, but always and promptly convertible into coin at the will o f the holder. Three hundredmillions of actual money, gold andsilver, will be thrown into the circula­tion and our Currency healthily ex­panded by so much. Side by side the promise o f the Government and the money of the world will circulate among the whole people.

Then the money of the millionaire and the mechanic will be the same and be o f equal value. Then the lit­tle stores o f the frugal and industri­ous, laid by against the day o f adver­sity, will not dwindle away to nothing under the withering influences o f de­preciation. Then will industry and legitimate business each receive itsown and speculation find its “ occupa­tion gone.”

"We can go forward certain o f suc­cess. We can go forward assured that subsequent events will vindicate our action. We: can go forward as­sured that in history the complete success of resumption, the vindication of the nation's faith, honor, and cred­it, will be recorded as a triumph sec­ond only to the suppression of the great rebellion.

To recapitulate, I claim:First. That all experience has

shown that an irredeemable paper currency is among the worst of evils that; can befall a nation, and more especially an evil to the working classes.

Second. That the’best and wisest men the country has produced, each in his day has spoken against the evil.

Third. That to abandon resumption would violate the pledges given by those who passed the law, both before and after its enactment.

Fourth. That resumption on the day fixed by the law can be accom­plished, and that so far from decreas­ing the circulating medium it will, in fact, add to the currency §300,000,000 in actual money.

Fifth. It will insure stablo values and Bolid prosperity.

Two newspapers in this State— the Kalamazoo Gazette and Hastings Danner— have published substantially the ritual of the new secret political order which is run in promotion of an irredeemable currency. The exist­ence and active work ot such an order are denied by some o f its guerrillas, in order that they may raid into .the other political parties more success­fully. But there are many places where these secret lodges hold their meetings, initiate members, put them in the harness, and drive them at the will of the officers. In, Jackson, for example, they boasted of having over 1,500 “ pledged” voters prior to the last election, and they cast about 1,660 votes. In Wayne county they Bragged how many township elections they would carry by “ pledged” votes, and almost exactly filled the hill.- It jtjjj^es secrecy and virtual slavery to secure such results in a few weeks’ time. The exact statistics of the or­der are impossible to get at, hut not its machinery, which is o f the know- nothing: kuklux type. The organ of the order at Grand Rapids incautious­ly declared that “ i f a national does not wish to vote his own ticket, he shall not vote the ticket o f the other old parties.” What is this but ram­ming; a general order down the throats o f the faithful? Tell an American citizen he “ Bhall not vote” for who ever seems to him the best candidate, will you? Ask an American..citizen to put his head in such a goosd-yoko. as this, will you ?— licensing Ltepxiblii can.

Oregon Correspondence.P ortland, May 6,, 1878,

E ditor R ecord :— The R ecord of April 18 came to band yesterday, and it was chuck full of news from homo.I f any of your thousands of readers get strayed off 3,500 miles from borne, and the old home paper comes to cheer their home, as the R ecord does ours, they will know just how to appreciate such a paper as the Record, coming every week so full o f local news. I f one paper is lost or gets strayed off in the mountains, we miBS it as much as we do our dinner.

The" prospects in this country are very oncouraging. Business is lively, and the sound of the saw and hammer is heard in every part of our beauti­ful mountain city. Never in her his­tory has so much good, permanent building been carried on in one season as now. The crop prospects are very flattering. Grain is yery heavy, and the fruit prospects exceedingly good.

The deep blue waters of the Colum­bia are dotted with the ships o f com­merce, hearing to market the products of tho State; and railroad building is carried on in different parts of the State. The new steamer “ Oregon,” ' built in Philadelphia for the Oregon Steamship Go., left New York on the 16th of February, made the trip around Cape Horn, heavily loaded with passengers and- freight. She spoke at San Francisco, but did not pass into Golden Gate. She landed in Portland in sixty-four days, the quickest time ever known. She left this Port last Tuesday, crossed the bar at Astoria, tho mouth o f the Co­lumbia, and made her trip to San Francisco in just 41 hours. She is an iron steamer, fitted with every precaution against danger that money and ingenuity could devise.

Immigration is coming here very rapidly, and it is of a class that are prepared to gp right along, take up land and improve it ; and that is the right kind of immigration any where.

That letter from Throe Oaks by your correspondent, had the right ring. While reading it I wont, in my wild ramble, all over that nice village, visited the old Governor and his brother, Wm. Chamberlain, strolled down and shook the honest old paw of J. L. McKie, talked with several of the fair ladies, and they told me it was correct about young groceryman Martin, and that Abo was a “ way up” chap, you bet.

The political pot is boiling hot. Both parties have made State and Congressional nominations. Next week the county nominations will be made. Then the fight is fairly in­augurated. The Republican nominee for Congress is a strong man, and a very prominent Methodist minister. The third day of June will tell the story.

One hundred and thirty-one arrests were made here by our city police in the month of April, largely caused by drinking 40 rod whisky.

The temperance cause ib doing a great work, but it.seems like a drop in the bucket,, so great is the liquor power. There are 100 saloons in thi3 city.

It is rumored that the O. S. N. Go. Will put a fine line of steamers direct from Portland to England. It is needed, badly.

A great baby show in this city last week. It was a success, -but a grand swindle.

What’s the use talking greenbacks any longer, for gold and greenbacks are at par here.

The 59th anniversary of .Odd Fel­lowship was duly commemorated here.

The workingmen have nominated a full county ticket here. They are very strong and will greatly divide and cripple tho old parties.

Success to you and greetings to all old friends. J oh n L. S m it h .

Manufacturing in Victoria has re­ceived a great impetus through the system of bonuses granted by the government and a heavy protective tariff. Among the manufactured ar­ticles and preparations may be men­tioned books, diaries, and other man­ufactured stationery; dyes, glass, cloth, paper, cigars, starch, pianos, oilmen’s stores, safes, brushware, soap, plows, threshers, harvesting ma­chinery, steam engines, and many other things. Tn all, the number of manufactories on March 81, 1877, 1,703, employing 26,825 hands ; the value of land, buildings and machine­ry being estimated at $23,057,885.

A mint was opened, as a branch of the English mint, in 1872-; it is provided with the best and latest im­proved machinery, and up to Dec. 31, 1876,"had minted 1,780,856 ounces of gold, value at §35,491,695.

Meat preserving is also conducted on a very extensive scale, and large quantities are exported to Great Britian ; and a silk company has been formed. There are -152 flour mills, 8 wooleu mills, 96 tanneries, 241 brick yards, 102 breweries, 7 piano forte, 46 agricultural implement, 53 engine, 19 ship and boat, 3 blasting powder, 1 fire-proof safe, 77 iron, brass and copper, 58 iron and tin works, 6 wire working, 13 rope and twine, 159 moulding and sash, door and blind factories and many others, representing nearly every branch of, manufactured goods known to the world. I was not only surprised at the extent and great variety of the manufactures in victoria, but of the high state of perfection attained by the use of the most modern machine­ry, much of which was imported from England and the United States, but a very large portion was “ home made” and very creditable, it was evincing not only excellent mechanical skill but much inventive genius. Wages paid to skilled mechanics are about the same for eight hours’ work as are paid in Chicago for a. day o f ten hours. Taken altogether, the manu­facturers of Victoria are "surprisingly advanced and promise a great source of prosperity for the colony— Victor­ia being in this respect far ahead of any other portion of Australasia.

M E L B O U R N E ;

A history of the city of Melbourne," if properly written, would commence as follows: “ On the 20th day of August, 1835, John Pascoe Fawkner landed on the Yarra-Yarra from the

■ schooner Enterprise, bringing with hifrt A party of five men and- two

. I horses, two pigs, three kangaroo dogs

and a cat, and pitched his tentB in a dense bush that bordered the river where the city of Melbourne now stands.” To Fawkner belongs the unquestioned, title o f the founder of Melbourne, for he turned the first Bod, built the first house, opened the first church, took up the first collection therein, and started the first newspa­per in the settlement within a year after his arrival, issuing it in manu­script. In four years, or in 1839, Fawkner’s cargo of five men, three dogs and a cat had increased to 70 shops, 450 houses and 3,000 people; but the place did not promise" any­thing startling in its history until 1851, when gold was discovered in its colony, then came a Wonderous change, accordingly real estate was made in a day, buildings sprang up as i f by magic, vast warehouses, splendid shops, large hotels and what not, superceded the old ramshackle shanties, until to-day we find that Melbourne and its suburbs have spread far and wide, and buildings, colossal in size and admirable in de­sign and construction, have been built on every hand, and her popula­tion. increased to (March 31, 1877) 244,668; and as I pass by palatial mansions, over well-kept streets, crowded with fashionable equipages, and visit its busy mans, extensive manufacturing establishments and see its forests of shipping and other evi­dences of wealth and progress, when my companion tells me that he well remembers when gum tree stumps, and deep ruts and sloughs of mud marked the course of Ooilins street, and a piece of board nailed to a tree where the general post-office now stands, bore the inscription, “ This is Bourkc street— impassable;” but last year Melbourne’s imports were $65,- 077,760, and exports were $65,681,- 460, and I feel willing to concede to her the self-appreciated title of one of the wonders o f the world.

The most noteworthy edifices in Melbourne are the treasury, cost $450,000 ) houses of parliament, free library, with 90,000 volumes; post- office, government printing office, an immense building for the land and other departments, custom house, mint, university, with the admirable museum attached; town hall, with the fifth largest organ in the world; numerous beautiful churches, conspic­uous among which is the new Scots church, built of brown freestone and white kakstnie Btone, in the early English stylo o f architecture, and having an elegantly proportioned spire 211 feet high ; four handsome, roomy theatres and several fine pub­lic "balls. Conspicuous from every part ot the city is the new govern­ment house, a palatial, towered build­ing, provided by the colony as the residence of the governor at a salary of §60,000 per year and perquisites.

There are numerous public parks and places of recreatipn, the Botani­cal Gardens lying on the south side of the river Yarra, and about a mile from the city, being the most exten­sive, and whether as a piece o f land­scape gardening or as a valuable Col­lection of choice plants and trees, reflect the highest credit on the intel­ligent people who maintain them.

Few places of its size are so well supplied with newspapers, there being three morning and two evening dai­lies, besides several . weekly and monthly publications; the Austra­lasian uses eight and the Leader seven tons of paper at each issue, and are all issued from as well equip ped printing offices as I ever visited ; one paper, the Daily Argus, having in a fire-proof room an exact and perfect duplicate of every portion of the establishment, so that if a fire destroys the main building the com­positors and pressmen have but to repair to tho duplicate room and the Argus will appear as promptly as ever.

Although the inhabitants of Mel­bourne are proud of their city and have good grounds for being so, as is many things, if the city is equalled, it is certainly nowhere surpassed by any other city on the face of the earth.

Switzerland, and some of the other aristocratic countries, have been send­ing their paupers to this country to get rid of them. There are two ways for the United States to do about it. One is to - ship them right back by return mail, and the other is to sink every mother’s son of them into the Atlantic ocean. We don’t want them here: * This country has a supply of paupers of; her own, that is all she cares to look after.

A door about five feet square was painted with the mix­ture, and placed at an angle of about forty-five degrees; a rousing fire built under it, and kept there over half an hour and the board was not charred through. Some of the paint­ers about town are talking strongly o f investing in the county right.

H. E. B radley is now fairly set­tled in his new quarters, on Front street, and now prides himself upon being able to produce as good work as anyone, from having his light under such control as to be able to govern it at pleasure, which, together with being perfectly conversant with the business,, are essential to making good photographs.

There is a young man staying about town, with no apparent object in life other than to live, a stranger. He has been accused o f several petty thefts and continues surrounded by suspicious circumstances. A change in his tacties will be a benefit to him, and save a more extended publication o f history.

L ast Friday a cow was caught by one of those gravel trains, near the crossing at the school house, in Day- ton, and carried down to the passen­ger house, a distance of thirty or forty rods, and thrown off against the fence, and now the owner has one less source from which to procure a living. A pig was killed by one o f those trains the Bame day, and at the same place. Dayton has had rather severe luck with valuable lives, the last two weeks.

W e understand that“ Gov.” Sparks, the wonld-be-Congressman, Henry Chamberlain, that eloquent moralist, “ Col” L. F . Copeland, and a few Other “ shining lights” o f the Nation­al-Greenback party will hold a Coun­ty Convention, all by themselves, at Berrien Springs, on June 3d, and do all they can to cover up their plans to turn Republicans from their party, in order that Democracy may gain the supremacy in the next election. B e­ware of their “ honeyed” words.— St. Joseph Herald.

One of the “ Irredeemables” of this vicinity asks why it is that i f the National Banking business is such an unprofitable business, and so many are going out of the business, that the aggregate amount o f their circu­lation is steadily on the increase ? In the last three, years their circulation decreased from §351,861,450, January 1, 1874, to §321,709,559, May 1, 1878. The trouble is he'had been getting his information from such medium as Pomeroy, and is grossly in error;

T he event o f the season is the grand dramatic performance, to be given : at CollinB and Weaver's Hall, on Decoration Day-, and the Saturday ovcniDg following. On. this occasion wo aro expecting a grand treat, as Mr. O’Keefe has painted a new set of scenery expressly for the play, and as “ Colleen Bawn” was played- 500 nights in London, it must be possess­ed of somo excellence. In addition to the Orchestra, Mrs. EUis Clark will favor us with some choice selections on the Kimball Cjmbella Organ, which will add greatly to the entertainment. “ Collcon Bawn” will ho followed by tho farce, “ The Hen-pecked Hus­band.” . Everybody sympathizes with the poor man who had not tho cour­age o f a “ rush light.” This will be tho last chance to sec. O'Keefe and his wefi-trained pupils, .and it 13 ex­pected that every seat in the house will bo filled. • -

Two gay young men from Buchanan, with their stomachs well filled with Bourbon, drove a gray and a black horse up to the depot on Saturday last, where the horses became fright­ened, started at a rapid rate down 4th street. Both were thrown out violent­ly at .Apted’s corner. One struck against the side-walk where he re­mained for a few minutes aDd got up unharmed. The foot of the other caught in the buggy spring and he was dragged nearly two blocks in the mud when some persons met and stopped the team. It took some time for these men to extricate him. He was thoroughly covered with mud. A large crowd gathered around but were disappointed in not finding him injured in the least. Both were intoxicated. — Niles Mirror.

Wonder who they were.

Mr . W. A . Severson, who, for the last three years, has been with Mr. Wait in the Pioneer Drug Store, in this village, left on Wednesday morn­ing with his family for Buchanan, Mich., where he has purchased a drug business and will establish himself. Wc are sorry to have Mr. Severson leave. He and his estimable wife have made very many friends during their stay here, and they will be much missed. Mr. Severson is a good busi­ness man, careful, accurate and expe­rienced in a business that needs care­fulness and experience, and the people o f Buchanan aro to be congratulated that ho has selected that place for his home. Mrs. Severson has been a prom­inent menber of the Methodist choir in this village, and on Tuesday evening the members of the choir, with a few intimate friends, called upon Mr. and Mrs. Severson, at Dr. Ashton’s, and presented a very pretty testimonial of their regard and expression of their wishes for^the prosperity of the friends about to leave. We want to add our very best wishes forjtho suc­cess of Mr. Severson, -and the happi­ness and prosperity o f his family.— Grand Traverse Herald.

, D uring the heavy thunder showers on Saturday afternoon, a flash of lightning struck a tree standing just in front of a small house, about two miles south of "St. Joseph, belonging to the Gard estate. Splitting the tree all into pieces, the electric fire escap­ed to the house, knocking the corner nearest the tree; completely off, and otherwise damaging the building. The house was considerably filled with Bmoke, which smelled like gunppwder. The family of Mr. Geo. DeVoe, who 0ccUpidd1.it at the tino, escaped uh-.

The leading fish story comes from the Kalamazoo Gazette. Read it. “ A shovel nose sturgeon longer than a telegraph pole, and larger around than a sugar hogshead, figuratively speaking, was hanging before Wm. Clark’s saloon on North Burdick, st. yesterday. It was sent from Allegan by Tom. Clifford, on two flat cars* and was caught in Kalamazoo river, the heavy winds of last week, having turned the fish crosswise of the chan­nel burying his head against one hank leaving his tail ashore on the other side. Several parties had crossed the river on his hack, supposing it to be a log, but the quiver of the tail gave the whole thing away to Clifford.”

Weather decidedly moist and breezy.The Michigan Central Railroad di­

F*. L. Thaldorf and family and B. Br.att and family leave for Bessel, Kansas, to-morrow, having bought farms there. They go prepared to farm on a large scale. "

Whitman Savage, who went to Kansas in February; is working on a farm in Pawnee county, on land once occupied as Fort Zarah. While plow­ing, he plowed up a silver watch that had lain there for years. He sold the samo for ten dollars. That will help him on his homestead claim.

Last Sunday a runaway horse ran through town. Wm. H. Breece, that nimble lawyer, caught him, and short­ly after, a man came running through the mud, barefoot, after the horse. Barefoot stated that the horse became frightened at the cars, about four miles west of town, broke loose from the buggy, spilled out two females, and ran away. The horse should have been put in the stable and cared for, and the barefoot individual,sent to the calaboose for using profane language. •

Mrs. E . N. Shedd had a brother call on her last week. This is the first time they have met for thirty- five years.

Joseph Wyeth, our popular drug gist, has bought the residence of F- L. Thaldorf, and will occupy it.

Mr. I. Rynearson' has moved into the Spooner House.

Miss Etta Wellwood and Miss Eliz­abeth Bradley have formed a copart­nership as dress makers, and have rented some nice rooms o f ex-Treasur- er Hess, in his new building, at the corner of Elm and Maple streets. Success to them.

A singing school has just started,with a gentleman from Buchanan as teacher. I think it would be well for a number to go, by all means, and study time, as their Bweet voices are often beard putting in an extra note or two after the hymn is ended.

The Congregational church was kalsomined last week, and a miserable job it is. I noticed while the Rev. Daniel Smith was . preaching there last Sabbath, that the congregation paid considerable attention to the kal- somining. I think the resident minis­ter should give a text on kalsomining. I am quite sure the thoughts and eyes of the congregation would be on things above.

“ When shall we three meet again,” I presume was Said by the three citi­zens of Chickaming, who made a trip to St. Joseph several years since, and delivered up the Chickaming township bonds (that the people were trying not to have delivered) to Hon. A . H. Morrison, and each received a pass to ride on the G. & M. L. S. R. R. There is only one o f them that meets now; and he will no doubt feel like the fellow in jail, who said “ I would not live always, I ask not to stay.”

I wrote you last week about the tramps’ monument. So many tramps come into this county from the west, and commit their depredations, and are arrested and Bent to jail or Work- house at Detroit, at an expense to this county ; and for that reason a dead line has been established at Three Oaks, which line the tramp is not al­lowed to pass. A large board was put up with the following thereon: “ Tramps’ Cemetery and Monument,” with a finger pointing towards the mon­ument ; and another with “ Tramps’ Dead Line” inscribed thereon. I presume the latter will be torn down after the political canvass opens. Their votes will count, you know, and the Nationals will not leave a “ stone unturned.” • The last tramp taken from the mail-catcher and buried in the cemetery has the following epi­taph inscribed on the board at the head of his grave:“ Here lies a tramp, Jonathan Releiverup,Who caused many a man to deliver up,When the hangman sent his soul up.His body filled this hole up.”

Mr. H . R. Pike, who has dealt ex­tensively in the wood trade on the lake shore for several years past, has just bought 160 acres of timber land in Hagar township, on the lake shore. He intends putting out a new pier at once, and has made seine contracts for the delivery of- wood, on the pier and in Chicago. Mr. P. informs me that he wants forty men to chop wood, and will pay a good price for the same, but states he finds some trouble in getting the men. Now where are the fellows who have done the heavy sitting around last winter, wearing two holes in the seat of their pantB, talking about the government passing an act to give laboring men employ­ment at good pay, and for Bix hours as a day’s work, and have more green­backs issued, &c., &c.

No marriages last week; Mr. Edi­tor, when I marry I will give you an invitation or send a chunk of cake.

It was going up the elevator when some o f the fastenings gave way, and the form fell, striking Mr. Dewey’s arm, from which it ‘tore the skin and severely bruised bis left leg. It was a narrovt escape.

“ This celebrated physician has con­tinued to visit tbia city regularly for many years, and many and remark­able are the cures which he has effect­ed. He is hailed everywhere by the afflicted as the ‘ harbinger of glad tidings,’ for through him. they see al­most sure relief from disease. Few and far between are the cases which he does not relieve. I f he becomes convinced th at h e cannot help patients, he plainly tells them so, instead of doctoring them for-tho sole purpose of getting their money, like a majority o f physicians. The people of this vicinity have become too' well ac­quainted with Dr. Price for him to need enconiums at our hands.”

xuin by extra-ngant expenditures, tbe fault is not often wholly their own—* and this is especially true: o f those who are living with their parents and are under age. The father and moth­er, if they do their duty and are not. culpably negligent, will know the amount o f the income o f the son, and the course from which it is derived,, and also pretty nearly what his ex­penditures are, and the knowledge that they are giving attention to these matters will be a strong check against wrong-doing, if any check is required. They will also know how he spends; his evenings, and what his associates are, and if he is spending money free­ly tney will find out; where it comes from. And, the employers of the hoys, and especially of those holding*lesoonsible positions, neglect a duty they owe to themselves and to those m their employ^ if they do not inform themselves as to their habits4 that they may grow up frugal, industrious and honest.,

I f any man thinks it won t pay to make manure to feed hi3 lands, let him try it once, and he will soon laugh at his present iolly. But for manure, the people of New England would have* starved to death a half century ago. With it their country is growing all the time. Because we have a genial climate and generous soil 13 no reason why bad farming: won t render it unproductive in time ; it has done it and no man can deny it. The: question for us to decide is not how much o f our cotton crop it will take to support the farm; bat: how much of the leven o f manure and labor we must put into our lands in order to make them self-supporting, thereby leaving the cotton crop entire­ly surplus, and therefore, entirely cash to gingle as we please.—Planter and Orange. *

The following calculations are made fey Professor Johnson.: A foot in depth and an acre on the surface of sand will hold 1,197,900 pounds of water; prairie soil will hold 1;524,-' 600 pounds, while peat will hold 2,? 047,800 pounds o f water. The aver­age rain-fall in New1 England being forty inches annually, equal to 9,- 075,000 pounds: per acre, it would,, at the ordinary rate o f absorption,, all be held in seven and a half feet in depth of prairie soil and in four and a halfh feet in dept o f peat.

To R estore Color.— W hen color on a fabric has been accidentally or otherwise destroyed by acid, ammo­nia is applied to neutralize the same, after which an application, of- chloro-r form will, in almost all cases, restore the original color. The application: o f ammonia is common,, hut .that o f chloroform is but little known.

Extra^a^enfUIiililts of (iftllforniansGalitornians- are proverbially extra-

vagentj/yhethef-male or female. They seem to care little or nothing for money- other.’,than to supply their im mediate needs. This extravagance is one.- of. the evils of the early flush times. A man-of bibulent propensi­ties, '’ -who has only four bits in hia pocket,: and-'does not know and, par- enthtetipally-;I might say, does not care, where--the next half dollar is coming from, will invite a party up to a b’ar and spend it all for one rounc of drinks-. Women never think of asking the tradesman to take oft’ any thing in the price of the article they are purchasing, but "pay just what he nska for the.article. Thousands anc thousands- of~ dollars are squanderec by‘the extravagant habits of people here, r -They pay what ever is asked and;8pend as.they-go,t without regarc for the morrow..

, must;hav.e;.and will have if it takes the last piece .of .coin. • There are thou­sands of dollars - which Californians are swindled out of in the making of change.- The difficulty here in making the exact.change, owing to the kind off currency'in lise, produces one of the,.grosseBt impositions I ever saw practiced.'1 You cannot buy an article but what y6u,are bound to be swindled.
