A SAcRIFIcE FOR PRINcIPLE. Journal
de Frankfort relates the following story.
"a few days since q foreigner presented
himself at the office Of a merchant at Hamburg
to recsivs cash for . bill Of 1000 double
Louis, and got 10000 francs too much. He
did not perceive the mistake until he reached
his hotel when he returned TO the office and
mentioned the fact The merchant looked At
him, and then said, 1t is impossible. The
foreigner persisted. and said. Your cashier
has certainly MAIDS q mistake That Is not
possible, replied the merchant in a decided
tone. Take yeur moasy-no mistakes are
ever made at my Office The stranger then
pocketed the money, left the place. when the
merchant. turning to the book keeper. told
him to enter 10000 francs TO the account Of
profit and loss. adding that the cashier would
never hear a wsrd Of reproach from hin on
the subject, but that he would not allow any
one to imagine that mistake could occur in
his office" ea4.s

Questions.

Is the Democrat in favor of MILlARD FIL.
MORE for President
What has the Legislature done since the
commencement Of the session, aside from
making stump speeches. drinking mint ju.
leps, and visiting Cincinnati al the expense
Of the State!
Why, contrary to all former customs, ha,
the State Senate adopted the plan of hold
ing secret sessions!
Why did o. P. BRowN vote against tax
ing Banks the same as other property!
Why did he vote in favor of an adjourned
session
What is ERASMUS NEEDHAM doing!
Why, after such pretensions to economy
did the fusion Legislature vote to have ar
extra session
What has the fusion party done for the
good of the people
Why did the Black Republican House ir
Congress, elect a stakeholder owning l0(
negroes, to the Office of Clerk, and slav.
auctioneer for door keeper!
Three weeks ago, we asked the foregoing
questions in good faith, and expected an an
swer; but our opponents are dumb as oys
ters. We propose to keep them standing
until we get some sort Of reply. We shal
add to them from time.

Getting Frightened.

Judge R. P. SPALDrSG has written let.
ter to the Cleveland Herald, in which he
takes the ground, that unless the Republi-
cans nominate man for President upon
whom all the factions Of fusion can unite,
the Democrats will be sure to carry the
election. He therefore advises the mem.
bers Of his party not to nominate a
man of extreme abolition views This
rendered into plain English, means that the
fusionists must nominate somebody to bea,
the Democrats, no matter what are his prin'
ciples. Fusionism is doomed. Judge SPAL-
DING sees the handwriting on tho wall, and
if possible would advert the calamity
But it is too late. The miserable shuffiling
of the leaders in the Black Republican fold,
can never save them. The skies are bright
for the Democracy.

The Result Of Riots.

The Louisville Democrat says that city
is in happy condition-that "she is out OF
funds, has no Fire Department, no work to
do, property ready for sale but no bidders,
plenty Of room in vacant houses, with but
few to occupy them. Multitudes Of for.
eign horde are gone, and Know Nothings
gone after them, finding no work to do here
The Democrat also remarks that there is
no occasion TO build any Of the houses
burned on "Bioody Monday" for there are
left rather more than there are tenants for
Just now" The Journal very bitterly de-
nies that Louisville is In such condition
threatens the Democra, with dire punish
ment for it's plain talk, and dares the edi-
tor thereof. or any other Sag Nicht, to prove
before jury that any Know Nothings
("American citizens'') either burnt any hous.
es, shot any body. or stole anything during
the riots. II is, however, evident that Lou
isvilIe riots were blow to the prosperity OF
that town from which it will never recover.

From the valParaiso Echo, Feb. IS.
On the 30th January, at II A. NJ, the
Chilian war steamer Cuzado, left TaIchuane
for Valparaiso, having on board 356 persons.
These consisted of SO soldiers of the second
batallians OF the line, officers of the same,
1874 women, 40 children, IA passengers,
and the steamers crew, numbering So per.
sons. A little before p. NJ. of the same
day, with eight or nine miles speed, and q
smooth sea, the steamer ran on rock south
Of Maule, about Is miles.
1t Immediately became apparent that the
ship was sinking. An order was at once
given to lowersthe boats. or these there
were only four. One of these was upset.
Of the other three one reached the shore
about five hundred yards distant, and the 9th.
er two entered the harbor of Maule. The
first OF these two contained Captain Cables

men. The whole number saved was AZ out

Among the victims are members of many
families now in the deepest affliction. Only
one female escaped.
We give the following from the report Of
the Captain of the i'll. fated vessel:

which occurred to the vessel under my com.

orders to lower the boats, and every one

The Eastern War Ended.
THE WESTERLY WAR BEGUNiu
CENTRAL AMERICA In ARMS ~
General Walkers Address 80 the
People Of Central Anlericc.
[From Fl Nicaragusnse, March ISL

Invited TO Nicaragua by the democrats
party OF the Republic, the American force
under nv command has steadily struggled
to carry out the principles for which the rev.
olution Of 1854 was undertaken. In order,
however, to consolidate general peace, we
were willing to bury'past differences and en-
deavor to amalgsmate the two parties into
one. For this purpose we have since the
treaty of October last, held in check our old
friends the democrats, ana have attempted
to concilate the men formerly attached to
the government Of Estrada.
With the same view the provisional gov.
ernment of Nicaragua, although differing in
ideas and principles from the governments OF
the other States of Central America, at.
tempted to establish frank and friendly re-
laton with the neighboring republics. Our
overtures Of peace have been rejected. Our
propositions of friendship have not only been
disregarded, but treated with scorn and dis
dain. Contempt and conlumely have been
returned for the amicable messages we sent
to the other governments. The only reason
given for such conduct is the presence Of A.
merican forces in the State Of Nicara qua.
The self-styled legitimate party of Mica
ragua has repulsed our efforts at conciliation
They have maintained communication with
their fellow .serviles in the other States
They have, by all means in their power, at
tempted to weaken the present provisional
government, and have given aid and en-
couragement 10 the enemies of Nicaragua
outside of the republic.
Ir this condition o: affairs, nothing is lef
for the Americans in Nicaragua but hostility
to the serviles throughout Central America
A very large portion Of the so called legiti
mists OF this State are either open or secre
enemies to our presence on this soil. The!
owe US for the protection they have had 70
their lives and property; they have paid u
with ingrutitude and treacbery.
The troops of the army of the Republi
will assume and wear the red ribbon.

IlnPOrtaMt'Trial at the Crystal
Palace.

The following account of trial of scales
at the Fair of the American Institution, held
in the Crystal Palace in New York, is from
the Pennsvlvanian. We take pleasure in
transferring it to our columns, rejecting as
II does, gre at credit upon we'll known and
successful New England manufacturing
firm. We would add that the scales exhib,
iting BY the Messrs Fairbanks were tuken
from their usual stock in New York, and
since the account of the trial was published
have been adjudged the best, and a Gold
medal has been awarded for the larger one
and silver medal for the smallerone -
"Wc had the pleasure of witnessing, u
few days since, an interesting test trinl Of

and newly patented scale manufactured al
| Vergennes, VT To test the real meri. of
the scales, the. committee placed upon the
platform Of scale having the capacity of six
tuns, a weight of 1893 pounds, and then re
moved the weight to various parts OF the
platform With this weight on one corner
of the Verg"nnes Scale, the beam indicated
3499 pounds; when placed on the opposite
corner the beam indicated only 1877 pounds,
showing difference OF l3 pounds: und when
removed to the centre ot the platform the
beam showed 1887 pounds. A request was
then made that the weight be again placed
on the corner of the first tried, which was
done, and the weight the beam now indica.
ted was 33S2 pounds, showing difference
OF pounds from the first trial. This varia
ton Is attributable in part to the arrange.
ment of the platform upon its bearings, which
forbids the possibility of its giving correc,
weight or agreeing with itself. The test
was then applied to u Fairbanks Scale, and
When the weight was placed on one corner
OF the platform the beam indicated the true

corners the result was the same; on the 4th
corner slight variation was erceptable.-

Of ten pounds when the weight was removed
