haba and Cera the inhabitants were suffering from
protracted drought, but supplies of provisions
coming in from the adjoining provinces.
The Journal Of the 18th mentions that the United
States ship Columbus had taken on board FIVE
young Brazilans, who were to make the cruise in
her, with view to acquiring knowledge Of sea-
manship, &C., Gin one Of the best naval schools in

MR.. A. d. MANN.

Some Of the republican papers Of Ohio have cen.
sured the late appointment Of Mr.. Mann consul to
Trieste. They have arraigned the politics which
he professed in 1910, upon the declarations of the
Louisville Journal" itself one of the most rabd
wing papers in the Union. The "Cincnnai Enqui
rer' has gone SO far as to arraign his private
character. Mr. Mann will, in due time, answer al
these charges.
His recent appointment to the consulate of Tri
este conferred upon him by the President oftht
United States in consequence Of his public services
as well as of the favorable opinions with which he
has been impressed in behafof Mr.. NJ; and by none
more than by Mr.. Ms successor, (Mr. Robertson
referred to by the Boston Post, in the article which
the Cincinnati Enquirer quotes,) "who freely bore
the highest possible testimony to the virtues of the
gentleman he had himself been instrumental in re.
moving, and to whose reappointment he was al
once willing to accede This proceeding was SO
highly honorable to both these gentlemen, that the
President determined to retain the services Of both
in which he has shown his usual sense of justice
coupled with that strong discrimination which SO
eminently characterizes all his actions. Mr.. Rob.
ertson now remains at Bremen; and Mr.. Mann, af
ter having returned home, is despatched to Trieste
the better post of the two" We know that Mr.
Robertson even offered to resign his office, if the
President would return Mr.. Mann to his place
Mr.. Mann was no applicant for the consulate Of
Trieste; for the President had determined to Offer
it to him before he returned to the United States
Upon another point there is mistake. The late
consul at Trieste was no American citizen, but a
foreigner not naturaized
But we hope that our republican friends will now
cease their complaints, and withhold their censures
Mr.. Mann has acted from his own sense of right
The vehement denunciations of the Cincinnati En-.
quirer have had no effect upon his decision. We
understand that Mr.. Mann feels deeply obliged to
the President for the spirit in which the consulate
at Trieste has been conferred upon him. He feels
every motive to assist not to thwart his admnstra-
tion. Finding, then, from letter which has reach
ed him. as well from article in the newspapers,
that the republican party of Ohio are dissatisfied
with this appointment, he has come forward of his
own accord, without any advice, without hint
from any one, under the irresistible impulse Of the
best feelings, to give back the consulate which he
has received without asking it, into the hands of the
President. He has resigned it, to use his own
words, Internationally, unqualifedly absolutely.
He would not accept the Office, if it were again
rendered to him. His resignation was written yes.
terday morning. and it not until last night that
the Cincinnati Enquirer was received in this city.
He resigns with the most grateful, confding, cor
dial feelings of respect to the President, and the
sncerest wishes for the success Of his admnistra-
ton.

At the present time the agricultural districts OF

women are reared in full health and vigor, 10 take
their places operatives in factories at the proper
age; and to any argument upon the subject of the
injurious effect of such long hours their good looks
referred to evidence of the ightncss Of their
toll But when we shall have been longer in the
business, and population shall have been born in
these manufacturing towns, whose parents have been
employed for twelve and thirteen hours each day in
the close atmosphere of the factory, we shall find
that the evils Of weakly, Informed, and degraded
population, which the traveller often sees in the
English manufacturing towns, have been brought
upon us by our own neglect.
The simplest remedy for these long hours will be
for the people of each State to instruct their rep
resenatives to insert clause in every charter for
manufacturing purposes, that the machinery shall
not run over sixty or sixty-fvc hours per week.
The present time is the most favorable for the
working-men and working. women to assert their
just rights, as their employers are now making ex-
travagant profits, and will at accede to their de-
mands, rather than the mills should be stopped.

From CALIFORNIA from Monterey,
California, to June II, state that the Mexican gov
eminent was about to send governor and $500
men to California, TO preserve that part of the re-
public from being dismembered.
Captain Stephen Smith, a passenger from Boston
in the ship California, which had arrived on the
coast, proceeded soon after TO San Bias He was
about to return to Monterey, and had embarked on
board schooner Julia Ann, now under the Mexican
flag, when he was taken out of the vessel by an
armed force, on account of a rumor that he had
furnished arms and ammunition to the disaHeced
party in California, whose object is said to be the
overthrow of the Mexican power in that country
Certificates had been forwarded from Monterey
from the custom-house, the U. s. consul, and the
agents of the ship California to the effect that there
were noarms brought by the ship, excepting wha,
belonged to her proper armament. There can be
no doubt that Captain Smith would be released on
the receipt of these documents. Boston Daily .adp

"Thus we see that our people are forced by the
wing tariff of 1912 to pay double prices for what they
buy, in order TO protect the manufacturers at the
North, to enable these manufacturers to enrich
themselves out Of the hard earnings of the laborng
classes of the country; and yet our southern wings
say it is all right and proper. Yes, il is all right in
their prejudiced minds, because these burdensome
taxes are placed on US by ,1hig policy. But, thank
God, the people are rapidly opening their eyes to
whigery and the evils of wing measures; and the
next Congress will put stop to this legali1ed sys'

From the Lynchburg Republican.
As we anticipated, the wing press, with great
avidity, seize hold of the Washington correspond
ence of the Charleston Mercury, which has for
some time INDUCED in the most wanton abuse and
vile misrepresentation Of the administration, and
are endeavoring to manufacture capital out of it,
with which to stir up the feuds of disafiecton in
the ranks OF the democratic party. To distract and
divide our party, is the only hope the wings have OF
lifting themselves from the dust into which the peo-
pie have ground them and their principles. Hence
they snatch hold of every straw which can possibly
further that design. But they will be disappointed
in this instance, no doubt. Mr.. Calhoun and his
friends will not much longer suffer the shameless
imposition designed to be played off upon the coun-
try by the reckless correspondent Of the Mercury

The whigs alias federalists, are, we repeat, at
some loss for materials to wage their war agains,
the administration. Not even their own "fury can
minister arms" Texas operates like ga stumbling
block and foolishness" to them. The wise precau-
tionary measures which have been taken to meet
every attack on the part Of Mexico have confirmed
the confidence of the people. 1t is true, the wing
presses must say something-they must abuse
somebody--or else their press, like Othelo's oc-
cupaton, is gone. No wonder, therefore, that
we, among others, come in for share of their at
lacks. Indeed, we suspect the "organ" comes in
for larger proportion than anybody else. But az
we have been used to this species Of warfare for
more than 40 years, we can Withstand their blows
with as much equanimity as anybody else. We
cannot, it is true, reconcile ourselves to notice them
in deta and, therefore, we leave the Washington
correspondents and the most desperate wing editors
such as the Boston Atlas, the Albany Citizen, the
New York Courier and Enquirer and its cores
pondents, (the Richmond Wing is scarcely worth
noticing ito fret, and estrut their busy hour upon

this "School for Scandal ""I leave my character
behind me-" One of their associates w. L. Mac
kenzie, joins them in their hue-and- cry and threat
ems to bring out, in the month Of November, "the
lives and opinions Of Thomas Richie, Martin Van
Buren,, and James Knox Polk, with biographical
anecdotes Of their political associates"
Heaven save the mark! We ought to thank him
for the honor which he does us, of placing us in good
company at least But could not desire the threat
ened blow to come from quarter that dread less.
