DESIGNS OF THE WAR ON Mr.. TYLER.
In their unhallowed and Infamous war upon Mr.
Tyer's Administration, the Clay Bank Federslisis

of the interests of the Kentucky asldrant- ihey
seek to escape the odium resting upon their party or
fulfilling the promises made TO 'he people oe'o'e

on the country through the gross neglect OF duty and
injurious acts of a "Whg" Congress. VI he coun-

leaders and with a vain hope OF avertng the total
destruction If the prospects OF the fabric known ss

upon their "Ho> oRED TYLER" and are striving to
break him down with the odium which their own acts
have epgendered, and which their own shoulders
shift and turn as they may--w still be compelled to
receive and sink beneath. The people are not less
able to place the responsibility of inacon and bad ac-

TOBACCO.

In making selections from the public docu-
ment on tobacco, we are of course necessltated
10 pass without notice many of the tables 1t
furnishes, and give brief account of those only
which we deem Of primary importance. We
shall content ourselves with copying the tacts'
and not append any comnents-which we leave
to the reflections of those who are more prac-
tically conversant with the subject than we
can be-
From one table to which we turn, we learn
the value of the manufactured article, the num-
Der of persons employed, and tn capital invest
ed For what year the table was made, we are
not informed; but we presume 1t was for the
year 1910. In the six Eastern States the num-
Der of persons employed is Goethe capital In
vested, $2Ol, 425 and the value OF the manufac-
tured article, SIS, 800, 15S In New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, under the same heads,
we find 1925 persons employed, capital $780,
e79, and value of manufactures $1,474,329.-
In Delaware Maryland, Virginia, and North
Carolina, a, 1876 employed capital 81, 748 ,O45,and
value of manufactures $2,S27,856. In the
Western States, l,112 employed, capital $4O2,-
954 and value of manufactures $S45,747.-
More than one half of the capital thus invested
is in Virginia alone.
From another table we learn that, from the
year 1921 to 1910, both included, there were
exported l,792,0O hogsheads of unmanutac-
tured tobacco, valued by the Treasury at $13l,-
1854, being an annual average of $4,000
hogsheads and an average annual value OF
S6,567. 1926 For nineteen years, including
1921, 7SS,477 pounds of snuff, and 57,346,5l4
pounds of manufactured tobacco, valued toge-
Their at S5,556,5S1 had been exported
For the ten years from 1921 to 1880, there
were exported 324,25l hogsheads, valued at
56,SS9, 291; and during the last ten years,
from 1880 to 1910, e67,755 hogsheads, valued
at $74, 457 1898.
The average annual export in the first ten
years was s2424 hogsheads, and during the
second ten years, calculating from 1921, 96,773
hog sheads.
There is one remarkable fact, that the guam
tity exported for the last twenty years has been,
with few exceptions, nearly uniform, being
somewhere about $4,000 hogsheads. In some
few wears the exports have gone beyond 100
hog ,heads In 1910, 10000 hogsheads were
exported, aud in lSil upwards of 147,OOO hogs
heads The last expectation is the highest on
record.
The quantity of manufactured tobacco import
ed into The United States is given IN another
table. The importation consists principally OF
cigars and snuff From 1888 TO 1910, both in
elusive, 633,S57 boxes of cigars and from lS2O
to 1910, 1889 pounds of tobacco were I'M
ported.
The facts that we have touched we trust, will
be useful Other matters contained in the doc
ument we shall notice in another article. The
document contains yet some subjects OF inte-
rest relating to the tobacco trade In foreign
countries. These we shall notice at another
time.

KNcKERBocKER MAGAzME.-The following COM
mendation of this valuable Magazine from New
York paper, meets our most cordial appreciation
We have always regarded the Knickerbocker as taxi
ing the lead of all the monthlies, and ornament
to the periodical literature of the country;
"We have not especially noticed this Magazine for
June, although it was promptly published, and full,
as it usually s of rich and various literary attrac-
tons. The truth IS, the work hardly requires our
good word 1t has established character during the
progress of its twenty volumes and under its present
able direction, to which our commendatiOn however
cordial could add but little. We have rarely seen
magazine so unanimously and universally popular,
We opened for example, day or two snce two
leading newspapers the very antpodes Of each other
as to their section of country-the from Massa-
chusetts and the other from South Car0linain which
there happened to be notices of the number for the
present month. The Boston Post spoke of it as
most agreeable number, without any thing objec-
tionable in the matter or style OF single article,
and added I" The X. is now by far the best written
and most entertaining periodical published in this
country. We are perfectly serious in this. 1t is
more what it pretends to be than any of its neigh
bors" The Charleston South Carolinian said Of the
same sue \" We do but repeat an oft told tale when
we speak of the excellence of this valuable maya
zine. The Knickerbocker stands at the very summit
of our periodical literature. 1t is honor to our
country and deserves its most liberal support
The tributes to the merits Of the X, general and
so unanimous in this country, are not uncommon in
Great Britain The London Times, Examiner, Morn
ing Post, .athenGum, and Literary Gazette as well as
Edinburgh journals, have praised this work in most
cordial terms; and gentleman of neghboring city
showed us few days since letter from Sir EDWARD
LYrToN BuLwER, in which, after thanking his Anne
rican correspondent for sending him some books and
among them several numbers of the knickerbocker,
he says i am not so unacquainted with American
literature as to be unaware of the high station which
the knickerbocker enjoys have often been de-
lighted with the various and graceful intellect it dis
plays. Some Of its writers no less renowned in
our country than distinguished in their own"
A new volume on new type, begins with the forth
coming July number.

Marine Court.

APRIL l2-Ihomas OGrtr VS.. Robert M Serren.-The
defendant is master Of the ship Kalamazoo, (he vessel
chosen by Colt last summer, ia which to deposit the box
containing the body of Samuel Adams) and the plaintiff
was a seaman on board Of her. The present is an action
for assault and battery, Oliver averring that the Captain
severely struck him one day while he was at the wheel,
engaged in steering the ship, on her recent o ysge from
Liverpool to this port. Captain M'Serren defended the
suit in person, and gave an exhibition Of tact and talent
worthy Of the ablest lawyer. The counsel for plaintiff
the Captain pass him on the poop, and go into the wheel
house, soon after which he heard Oliver crying out
murder, and saw the Captain striking him. This wit
ness underwent a strong and searching cress-cxamina.
ton on the part Of the Captain, who then called the Car.
penter of the ship to the stand. He testified to being in
the wheel-house when the Captain came in. The Capt.
told Oliver that he had the shiptwo points eff the wind,
ard reproached him for inattention In steering when
there were SO many passengers on board, and the pro
visions so short. He took the wheel away from him,
and made him haul offhis mittens. Oliver then began
crying out murder. The Captain said, "what are you
crying out murder for7-I hav'nt touched you" He
after " ards told plaintiff that he was acting in a manner
to provoke him, and get one Of Those law yers when they
arrived in port to enter an action against him at the Ma.
rine Court II was shown that the Captain is a strict
disciplinarian, but always does the best that is possible
for his crew. In summing up, the Captain made aspeech
worthy of q Demosthenes. H was followed in a mas
terly manner by Mr.. Beers for plaintiff, who made as.
sertions which, did the Captain not feel that he was q
lawyer for the time being, would certainly be folio wed
by coffee and pistols for six. The %eloquence and sim
cerity Of the Captain prevailed, the Jury finding for de.

RESULT OF THE ELECTION,
GREAT TRIUMPH OF TIE PATRIOT CAUSE,
The Aboliti0nists Beat Down,
D E H MORRIS, MAYOR OF NEW o

ROBERT H MORRIS, MAYOR OF NEW r
We have the supreme felicity to congratulate the
country on the complete triumph of the Patriot
cause in this Imperial city. After an organization OF
only three natural days and nights, the Patriots have
swept the cid Abolition party far behind. and have
driven the wings and ~locofocos as far ahead. Robert
II. Morris is elected Mayor by a majority of proba-
bly, 2CC0 Mr. Phnnix-but what is this to be
compared to the moral and physical victory which
the Patriots have gained over the Abolitionists?
We could not ascertain last evening the exact
vote of either, but as far as we did learn, it is p.eba-
BILE that the Patriots received $50 votes and the Abo-
lltionists only 800 giving a clear majority of 81 to
the Patriot cause.
After this who will put any cor fidence in the ly.
ing estimates of the Wall street press. "Col. Webb
OF the regular army estimated the Patriots in this
city at 25 strong, being nearly four times as many as
The "Corporal's Guard " in w ashipgton. Instead
of Is, the Patriots claim $50 that came up to the
scratch, besides many thousands that might have
come. The corporation is carried by the ~locofccts
as usuaI-and as usual the wings are utterly demo-
lished.
Thus we go. Let the Patriots now 90 to work
and organize for the fall election. The raw materi-
ais were never in better trim TO create a new party.
Organize-organixe. Let Z" Corporal's guard and
a Captains company" be increased until it reach
the size of the "grand army, " ready to go into the
campaign of 1912.
