all these particulars, the western slope Of
our continent is far more happy than the
eastern. In its confguralion il is mex
pressihly fine and grand--a vast oblong
square, with natural boundaries, and q
single gateway into the sea. The snow
capped Rocky Mountains enclose il
on the east, an iron-bound coast on the
west frozen desert on the north, and
sandy plains on the south. All its rivers,
rising on the segment Of vast circum-
ference, run TO meet each other in the
centre, and then flow together into the
ocean. through a gap in the mountain
where the heats Of summer and the cold:
of winter are never felt, and where north

unknown. This is the valley of the Go.

Judge the Tree by It's Fruits.

Mr.. McDdffie has been making an elo.
qnent and vigorous speech in The Senate in
opposition to The Protective Policy and
the New Tariff. which he denounces as
robbery Of The Agricultural interest, and
especially of the South. These assump.
lions arc justified as follows: The Duues
levied on Foreign Manufactures average
(he slleJge.) 40 per CEN. and these raise
The price Of both Foreign and Domestic
fabrics. Now our consumption Of For
eign manufactures is 100000, 900. while
that Of our Domestic fabrics including
hats. boo,s, &c is nine times as much.
or 1850. Zoo. 900; aud on The gross sun.

country now pays tax Of 40 per cent.
or Sl60, 000.00 one-,en,b Of i, to the
Government, aud The balance to the Ame-
rican Manufacturers of cloths, hardware,
shoes, clothes, &c.

DECISION or THE CIRCUIT iOuRT IN
THE CASE OP THE SOMEkS.

DECISION or THE CIRCUIT iOuRT IN
the CASE or the sOMEks.
On the opening of The United States
Circuit Court al New York on Monday
morning. Judge Bets delivered his OPP
Mon inslruciing The Grand Jury That they
had no authority 10 inquire into he homi-
eide alleged 10 have been committed on
board ll,e United States Big Somers du-
ring her last cruise. The Opinion is re-
presented as being very able and learn
ed one covering the whole ground, and
embracing every point that had been rails
ed by Counsel in The course Of die argyll
.ment before the Court.
In conclusion, Judge Belts instructed
The Grand Jury, in substance, as fol-
lows:
The Court, he said, could not direct
the jury. II conld but pronounce It's OPT
Mon ; and the jury could afterwards act
according 10 its own sound discretion.
The first question addressed 10 the
Court was, had the jury authority 10 IN
quire into crimes committed on the high
seas on board the United States ships Of
war!
G. The second question was, ifso, had the
grand jury authority 10 inquire into the
complains alleged against the officers Of
The Somers!
I This inquiry involved the question whe-
Their the jury had also authority 10 inquire
into The mnliny or the attempt at mulinys
on board The Somers.
To The first question he replied, the
Court has authority over crimes COM
milied on the high seas on board the Uni
States ships Of war other than those with
in the jurisdiction Of couris-maItial. ac-
cording 10 the acts Of Congress and 10
the second, that the grand jury had no
authority TO inquire into any alleged
complaints for offences committed on
board the Somers. M 49,.
The opinion [remarks the Commercial
Advertiser) is one for which The Judge is
entitled 10 the gratitude not only Of the
Navy, but Of the whole country. Every
period carried conviction; and il was
grateful Office TO watch the countenances
Of The auditory, and observe the eyiden-
ces Of increasing satisfaction marking ais.
NEST every face as the arguments Of the
learned Judge grew stronger and stronger
against the right of the Grand Jury TO in
terfere in this matter. Unable TO repress
their feelings longer, the closeoi the OPT
MON was followed by general hurst of
applause. But silence ensued before the
officers had time to commandsit.
After the deliverysof the Opinion, the
Grand Jury having retired 10 their room
and taken into consideration the COM
plants in The case of the Somers, return.

This great and painful case, so far as

concerned, may now, we trust, be con-
sidered as ended.

acknowledging an Error.-'rhe Hon.
N. p. Tallmadge, in the United States
Senate, recently made the following ac.
acknowledgement of an Error committed by
him several years since. He,was' discuss
ing his Exchequer plan, and remarked
that the charter oi the Unitedi States
Bank expired in 1911. another was es-
tablished in 1916. That charter expired
and he was one who voted against re-
chartering the Bank. He recollected
we'll the remark which distinguished
Senator from Kentucky made 10 him
shortly after lie had given his vote. "Sir,"
said he, there was young man from
the West in Congress. in 1911. who vo-
ted against rechartering the old U. s.
Bank. Time went on and troubles ac-
cumulated on the country. We attempts
en- 10 get along without a National Bank,
but we found indispensable to the pro-
per management Of the finances Of the
country, and the preservation Of a sound
and uniform currency. That young man
was convinced by experience that The
vote he had given was an erroneous one,
and in 1916 he voted 10 charter another
US Bank. You have now voted as that
young man did at FIRST, against recharter-
ing the Bank ; hut time and experience
will, have no doubt, convince YOU. as
they did him, that you committed an er.
ror ="
And sir, said Mr.. T stand here I,
confess that time. and experience hav,
convinced me Of my error, and TO &C
knowledge ,ha, Mr.. Clay was right.
