UJ The GREAT WEsTERa at1Vso oh 'iii7 Poi'
Yesterday at 10 o'clock A. M. after stormy pas
sage of twenty nine days. She brings European
news six days later than were before received
and latsr advices,-by an Overland Mail, from
China and the Fest full summary of her IN
telligence may be found upon our First Page.
r We publish on our Last Page to-day calm
and candid appeal to the Public by CHARLES L.
Porter. ESQ., late Postmaster at Hartford, Conn
in reference to the shameful persecution by which
ne has been hsrassed In and driven from his office
The grievous misreoollectons and shameful false
hoods Of spies and unprincipled political and per-
aonal enemies by which his character was black
ened on the humbug Investigation have been grossly
exaggerated by the garbled account the Testimony
published in the Hartford Times, wherein every
thing adverse to him is exhibited in the most vivid
eolers, while the evidence explaining and disslPat-
ing the SANDERS is emitted. For Instance: The
principal spy and informer swears point blank that
Mr. Porter on certain occasion opened letter,
read it, sealed 1t up, and put it in the box. This
looks very black, and is reported in all its enormi-
w. But another Clerk who witnessed this same
TRANSACTION SWoIe on tuS tiSotioAi Inot s'i''
letter came 10 the Office enclosed in newspaper,
was not sealed ives opened by the Postmaster in
order to detect the perpetrator of this fraud the
Post Office and was finally placed in the box of the
person towhom it was addressed after being charged
with Postage. This simple and true explanation
completely divests the case of the criminal ap
pearance it bad been made to wear in the got-up
testimony, and fully exonerates Mr.. Porter But
shis testimony IS excluded from the Times re-
port. Need we say thing farther
~ HENRY CLAY reached Louisville, Ky. on
nraiaieiyTor ms home
at Ashland. His visit to the South West has been
an uninterrupted triumph. The whole reop1e
with scarcely an exception, have eagerly welcom-
ed and honored him as Patriot, Orator and 8
Statesman, the pride and glory of his Country.
At vicksburg, his reception was most enthusias,
tic but this was far surpassed at jackson, the
Capital Of Mississippi, who're he was met and
welcomed by the largest concemse ever assembled
in the State. Again at Memphis, Tennessee, the
whole region crowded to tender him their aitec-
donate respects. to look on and listen to thei,
Country's noolest and lofliest champion. Thus
honored and beloved, Mr.. Clay returns more
than coneueror to his quiet hresde, whence he
will again be called by the enthusiastic acclama
tons of the People.

II was during the late memorable war,
when a British fleet had penetrated to the

tify AS well as instruct those whose curiosity
or interest may lead them to investigate the

Comparatively little attention is now paid
to the sugar beet, as an article of manufacture
into sugar. That it admits of being success
fully used for this purpose, no one acquainted
with what has been done in France and other
countries on the continent Of Europe can doubt.
The probability is, that it has not been at
tempted in this country on q sufficiently large
scale to render it profitable. Yet large guam
titles of the beet root have been raised to The
acre. The manufacture of beet sugar, which
has been carried out 30 largely in France,
GEMS to have greatly declined for a few years
past, and will, it is supposed, be broken up, in
the desire to sustain her colonies. Not more
than Al manufactures are reported az in ope-
ration there, in 1912 and the amount of beet
sugar delivered was only about one half mil
lion of pounds. Such, at least, is the account
professedly derived from the report to the
French minister, and published in Paris. The
whole aggregate sugar crop for the United
States in 1912 is estimated at 142,445, 1919
pounds.
