Pres Piece on the success of his administration and
the bringing back of the governmenso something of
its intended simplicity, purity, and constitutional

abroad in the land that We commend them to the
attentive consideration of readers. The Express

relation to Cubawhich he said was favorable to- its
acquisition, although, in good faith TO our treaties

in favor of bringing The island into the arms of our

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON D1sGRAcED BY MOB
"A democratic meeting for the purpose of asserting
the doctrines of religious federation and of political
equality, which assembled last evening outside of
Carusi's Saloon, grossly interrupted by crowd
of rufians, and finally broken up in disorder. A
series of eloquent resolutions published in another
column, were, however, first adopted by a unanimous
vote. number of gentlemen who had been invited
to speak were present on the occasion but when
Colonel Thomas B. Florence, of Pennsylvania, the
first introduced, attempted to address the meeting he
interrupted by the most shameful and protraced
camors; and finally, after than half an hour of
vain efforts to be heard, he compelled to desist
and the meeting adjourned to another OCCASION
This scandalous outrage, doubtless the result of a
concerted effort the part of members of the secret
organization called know nothings," who were on
the ground in large numbers, has occasioned great
Indignation: and may we'll be classed with the recent
scene at Chicago. 1t is without parallel in the
federal city: and when reflect that il was the work
of those who profess to be in favor of American
principles and of especial devotion to the honor and
interests OF the country, may readily conceive how
it will be interpreted by the enemies of free nstitu-
lions. Riot and bloodshed have already disgraced
some of our great cities. resulting from the proscrp
live practices of this secret organization and it an
pears that the political metropolis of the country is
not to be spared from this foul and oppressive spirit
We shall refer to this outrage more fully hereafter

Captain CanOt.

We are indebted to the courtesy of the publishers,
Messrs. Appleton, of New York, for copy of the
History of Captain Canot, being narrative of TWEEN
tv years spent in the African Slave Trade edited by
Brantz Mayer, of Baltimore. The account seems to
bear the strongly marked impress of the re:oT, the
editor having merely arranged it for the press, and
superintendent its passage through.
1t is strange book, exhibiting lights and shadows
of the trade" and of the condition OF the various
tribes in Their African homes, of which no other work
affords any dea and leaving in the mind some doubts
as to whether it is exactly worth while taking so
much trouble for the suppression of the trade IN
slaves or the capture of slavers Lower IN the scale
Of morality and civilization the negroes cannot be
brought their scale of physical comfort cannot well
be reduced Many of the tribes appear to be cann-
balls, while all are devoted to the most degrading
rites and superstitions is evident, at any rate that
the awful stories of crueltes peperated by traders
are prodgousy exaggerated and further that as the
officers of slave vessels get much per head for
ry slave they safely land in Cuba or Brazil as the
case may be, their interest prompts them to pay the
utmost attention to the sanitory condition of their
cargo In no class of vessels, menof-war not ex-
cepted is more rigid attention paid to the health and
cleanliness of passengers than in regular slavers,
which, in this respect UNNECESSARILY in advance
of the emigrant ships from Europe to this country
The book is interesting, from the fact that it is be-
yond question the detail of actual experience, not
particularly squeamish about its revelations Canot
is shrewd, intelligent man, who has seen life in all
its aspects and who appears to have BEEN through
out an honest man in all his dealings notwithstand

doings incident to the business in which he was en-
gagged, but with which custom had rendered him so

The Steamer city OF Philadelphia Stranded--The
Pass al
u.11r.x Sent o6fh

HALIFAX Sept. 26th
The steamer Franklin. from St. Johns, arrived
here this morning, bringing 500 passengers from on
board the steamer City OF Philadelphia, bound from
Liverpool to Philadelphia.
The passengers report that on the 18th inst, when
seven days and few hours out from Liverpool the
steamer was driven ashore in gale of wind off Cape
Race on the banks OF Newfoundland, and stranded
on the first point of land visible on the continent
They were enabled to land as soon as the storm
ceased and finally reached st. Johns, distance OF
about 100 miles, not, however, without great deal
of suffering and privalon. but were received with
the greatest hospitality and kindness by the people
of that city ~
The passengers number nearly 600, about 100 OF
whom still at st. Johns, waiting conveyance to
Halifax.
1t is thought that the steamer will be total loss
She is, however fully insured in England her sup.
posed value being about 100000, independent OF
insurance is $500, OOO in the Ocean Company Of Lon

Bs2E" The yellow Fever in the Southern cities seems
likely to exert a decidedly injurious influence upon
commerce. The Philadelphia Steamships to Char
lesion and Savannah have stopped running, being
subjected to quarantine their return TO
the North to render impossible for them to per-
form their trips. The New York Steamers still run
to Charleston though it is probable that they, too
may be temporarily withdrawn. At present they
must be losing money, as nobody takes that route,
being deferred by dread of the Epidemic.

Baby Shows.

Cattle shows, for the exhibition of bull calves, rams,

State of Ohio to place the raising of babies upon

mother a premium like that which is awarded to the

The anthracite coal trade is as active as ever, a
proof the ridiculous suggestion started by the Miners
Journal TO stop shipments for week. in order to keep
up prices, finds response with the coal operators
themselves. While the miners can obtain present
prices they will continue ship COAL and while the
carrying companies continue 10 be overrun with
freight 1t is not likely that they will lesson present
charges The coal trade in the last ten years has
not been better able to take care of itself than now
1t is therefore, both right and polite let it alone
The shipments last week are, if we remember rightly
the largest of any week this season. The Reading

and for the season 648 OO8 tons. Aggregate by the
three lines for the week 121 ,O99 tons and for the
season 2,94S,375 tons.
The Baltimore American is of opinion that the pro.
duction of coal will fully meet the demand, and the
supply of coal will not only be full one but proba
