The Fund Commissioners. BebbS False
.m.Et % H hoods. .4.-5r

Weare informed that Bebb, at Delaware,
utterly denied that Kelley and the fund
commissioners ever sold the stocks of the
State at Gfiy cents on the dollar, and challen-
ged the democrats of that place to produce
the proof. The unblushing audacity of
Bebb in contradcting these undeniable facts,
is beyond all precedent He well knew
that it was true, but thought.tha the demo-
Gratis did not have the official documents at
Delaware to prove him falsifer. How any
man can have the impudence to contradict
these facts before an intelligent audience,
is past comprehension.
By reference to the Report of the Fund
Commissioners, made to the Legislature in
1912, we find the followin: -...,..-

The CHoLERA.-We have already stated, that
the cholera had made its appearance in some Of the
provinces Of Persia, carrying death into the princ-
pal towns. 1t has spread from Bokhara to Herat
and Meshid, and has now taken the direction from
the Caspian Sea to Teheran and Ispahan. Late ac-
counts from Odessa state, that it had crossed the
Russian territory and appeared suddenly at TAs,
taking northerly direction between the Caspian
and the Black Sea, On the other side the cholera
broke out unexpectedly at Orenbourg, in the mines
of the Ural mountains; it crossed the Voga, and set
its foot in Europe, at Casan, only 1900 kilometres
from St. Petersburgh. If the accounts we have re-
ceived exact it has taken most irregular direc-
ton 1t has advanced from west to NORTH and does
not seem to have followed the banks of the river as
10 1923 and 1892 The cholera which devastated
France in 1891 and 1892, had been raging in Persia
seven years, 1893 to $780, 1t first appeared in 1923
at orenbourg, and shed death around that town for
FIVE years 1t reappeared at orenbourg in 1893
and one-tenth Of the population fell victims II
broke out at st. Petersburgh in July, 1891, and in
France in October Of the same year.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE UNION,

What was the object of the great National Man
ufacturcrs' Fair held at Washington this spring.
1t was suggested twas it notO by somebody's en-
deavorng to convince some of our members of Con.
gress that a general rule, the English manufac-
turer could afford to make goods cheaper than the
American manufacturer and that he could also af-
ford as a matter of COURSE to sell them cheaper
but for the duty tar put upon them when they en-
ter our portsl ! say, to do away this impression,
and, on the other hand, to convince these same
members of Congress that the americans can make
the goods at as little cost the English can, this
fair was gotten up by the manufacturing influence
and interest In fact, Mr.. Abbott Lawrence has
given out this idea, in of his letters, "that" Il
quote his dea not his anguage) "for the use the
working man, his family, the american can sell
as cheap and better article than the English
If this be so, then why do the wings and the
manufacturers oppose the reduction of the tariff
such artcles' If they can make and sell cheap as
the English why do they fear the reduction of the
tariff
Surely, if they be right, no injury can result to
them from such reduction. They do not now use
the argument they once dd-"that American labor
cannot withstand the competition with the pduper
labor of England" That was once their hobby.
In 1874 it proclaimed from the stump hereabout.
They seem now to have given up that ground, and
taken the strong one-that zoe work cheapiy
as the foreigner. Then, say, if you can, Mr.. Law
renee do so al once, and don't ask to be paid for do
ing what you have, by this great fair, proclaimed
to the Union you can do. Don't say, tive can
work as cheaply the English-we can make better
article for the same price but you must pay us
bonus for doing So" What sort of bonus do you
want "Why, sort Of tar put upon the importa-
ton of such articles as we manufacture, IN order
that we may run risk of being undersold by the
foreign pauper goods" Well; but thought this
fair was to prove everybody that you do not fear
that competition-that, in fact, they cannot under
sell you, because they cannot manufacture at q
cheaper rate than you can.
am now looking at the motives that influenced the
wings in their getting up of this great fair. say
they have by it committed themselves. They caa-
not now say the manufacturers need protection, for
they have gone to great expense and pains to con-
vince the world that they do net-that they can labor
against the world con their own hook" No, no.
While all Europe is opening its eyes to the wisdom
of the free-trade policy-to the vigor, the energy,
the resources it will inevitably draw out whenever
fostered--and to the great results that must follow
the exercise of such vgor and energy, our manu-
facturers are looking to their dimes in defrayng
The expenses Of this great effort at hunnb,g.

The Baltimore Patriot" has no reason to crow
upon the appointment Of Mr.. McDufie as chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Relations. The
patriot" says he is mo particular friend or favor
tie Of the administrauon-he was not for this war
on Mexico-was not one of the '6hy.four forties,
&c. This last issue is pretty we'll settled, as the
treaty goes out by the Great Western on Wednes,
day He voted for the bill to raise $4,000 volun-
tsers, and appropriating ten millions to the Mexi-
war, and is unquesdonably and decidedly a

tariff, constitutional treasury, &c.

MEDIATION.

There is some excitement and uneasiness in the
English prints about our with Mexico. 1t j.
even said in Wilmer and Smiths Times that tin
the monetary circles of the city, it is whispered that
the American has claimed the intervention of the
British government to settle the dispute with Mexico
The fact may be so but cannot credit it. 1t bears
improbability on its front" So says the European
Times, and it says truly. 1t is astonishing how
any man of sense should propagate or believe such
an absurdity. We can take of ourselves in our
relations with Mexico, without asking the slightest
Intervention from England or from any other power.
The London Morning Herald gives rather differ
ent version of the matter and says the British min
listers have determined to offer their mediation &c.
An effort has certainly been made to enlist them in
the cause; for we have before US letter from Mr..
Powles the chairman of the committee of the South
American and Mexican Association, addressed to
Lord Aberdeen, on the 81 June, deprecating our
causes of complaint against Mexico, stating that
there is no cause Of rupture between the two par
ties but such as friendly and respectful nterpositon
ofgood offices might remove" and praying his lord
ship 10 interpose between us. Without pretend
ing to go into the argument at this time, in order
to show that Mr. Powes and the committee have
decided the question without due consideration, we
may very well doubt the utility Of this interpretation,
40 far as relates to the United States We certainly
do not ask her mediation There are strong reasons
indeed to doubt the correctness Of the statement in
the London Standard altogether. At least, we hear
no confirmation Of il in Washington.
