English Impressions of Cincinnati.

English Impressions of Cincinnati.
One of the English newspaper CORES
pondents who accompanied Sir Morton
Peto and his party in their trip through
the West, writes as follows of Cincin-
natl:
Cincinnati is the chief commercial city
of Ohio. 1t is locally designated "Ihe
Queen City of the West" and the appella-
tion is well deserved from the spirit of Its
Deople. advantages of its situation and the
rapidity of its growth. Forty years ago
Cincinnati contained only four brick
houses. Now it possesses some OF the
finest streets in the world, with brick and
stone houses that vie with any in Europe,
and it has a population of 100000 souls or
more. Here the whole party were re-
ceived. the morning after their arrival, by
the Chamber of Commerce, with tine
warmest expressions of kindly feeling, and
the assurance that the contemplated effort
| to improve and advance the railroad tacll-
tiles of the West would receive the sup
port of the people whose prosperity II
would also promote. The opportunity
was also taken to inspect the depot OF
terminus of the railroad. The terminus
is one of the finest and best appointed in
all respects in America; btt as in SC
many other places there is an inadequaey
of rolling stock to accommodate the DAILY
increasing traffic, while single track il
wholly unequal to the double duties it hai
to perform.
In the course of the day the party re
ceived the hospitalities of Mr.. Ellis, wh'
has a charming residence at Clifton, abou
four miles from Cineinnati-a situation o
unrivalled beauty; and in the evening
grand entertainment was given at the 81
Nicholas House by the Atlantic q Grea
Western Railway Company, at which tn
Mayor presided; Nothing could excee
the cordiality which marked the reception
of theparty at this great city, and theI
unanimous regret was that the duration
the visit was deeessarily so limited.

The Pierpont-Ciark quarrel.

A Washington correspondent of the

count of the recent difficulty which ended
in the expulsion of the Governor of Vir-
ginia from the office of the Comptroller of
Currency.
Coming into the room of the COmptrol-
Ter of the Currency the other day, Cover
nor Pierpont accosted him in manner,
supposed to have been that of the defunct
chivalry: 81 understand, Mr.. Clarke"
said he, 'that you have called me rebel.
want to know if it is true, sir. eyes,
sir, answered the Comptroller, II did say
you were rebel, and l say so STILL
Pierpont, a little dsmpened by this
frankness, demanded to know upon what
ground such charge was made against
him. Mr.. Clarke stated the ground to be
that he had understood from reliable
source that Pierpont had expressed an
opinion favorable to the reputation of
if YOU expect the South to pay her share
of the public debt, you will be damnably
mistaken"
Whereupon the Comptroller per-emP-
torily ordered the Governor out oi MS Oh

Akron is rapidly attaining reputation
for rowdyism and brutality, which it win

crat learns from gentleman who was in
Akron on Monday evening, that a party
of drunken rowdies from Cuyahoga Falls
visited that city, with the avowed purpose
of shooting negro. Coming across one
in the street they knocked him down, and
upoE his arising, one of the party shot
him, the ball lodging in his chest. The
negro turned upon his Rssailants, seized
one of them, when a second sbcS was fired
BY this time crowd rallied, the murder
Gus rowdies were arrested and lodged in
Jail, and the wounded man cared for. 1t
was feared that his injuries would prove
fatal.
The negro is an entirely inoffensive
man, and the assault upon him was most
cowardly and brutal, and is solely due to
the prejudice infamohsly fostered against
the colored race. Great excitement is re-
ported to have prevailed in Akron in con-
of the nlurderous outrage.

ThurIOw Weed and General sIOeum.

Thurlow Weed replies with much Sc
verify to General SlOeuRs gratuitous at
tack upon him. He says: "Of General
Slocl.t1. when in the Legislature, asked
nothing but that he should discharge MS
duty faithfully and honestly. never,
directly or indirectly, intimated wish
that he should vote for or against any rail
road or other measure Of personal
or pecuniary character. In short, l did
not exchange word with Geueral SlOcum
upon any legislative question other than
such as related to the public welfare. With
this knowledge, and in a manner 'unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman, he
CONVEYS the idea that l sought to induce
him to vote for certain swindling railroad
bills" Also: "When the war ended, L
met General Slocum at the Astor House,
! His manner was more than usually cor
| dial. In the brief conversation that en-
| sued. he spoke quite emphatically on his
enduring personal regard tor me. 1t IS
apparent now that the inglOriOus bargain
with Copperhead John A. Green, which
leaves General Slocum shorn of consist
encv. patriotism, and fidelity, was even
then consummated; and that with lin
gerinr sense of personal justice and honor,
he intended to say that, though ne might
desert his party and principes, he would
not prove ungrateful. But temptation
overcame him"

Protection Commended TO us by an

Protection Commended TO us by an
EngIishman.
Mr. Handel Cossham, one of the Eng
lish capitalists now in this country, speak
ing at the New York Union League Club
supper, said:
mo Englishman who had not seen
America with his own eyes could have any
proper, conception of the magnitude of her
progress, nor the great power she welded
as nation. He was not disposed to
make small beer of his native land for he
would be an unworthy son if he did; but
he had to acknowledge that America was
far ahead of England in her resources and
her territory. He thought that if Ameri-
cans only developed their countrys re-
sources in the future as Englishmen, had
Great Britain, their future would be great
indeed"
The very essence of truth-thes of the
laws of economy which underlie the wealth
of nations is protection How did English
men, with legislation oftheir
Parliament ever seconding their efforts,
develop the resources of Great Britain ?"
By protecting the domestic manufactures
of their island against foreign competition
for centuries together, without suspension
or relaxation, by every device that lawyers
could frame and practical spinners, smelt-
ers, and weaxers, could suggest. When
this persistent policy of Protection was
crowned with the success at which 1t
aimed, and England had brUUme the
"Workshop of the World" then, and not
till then, did she preach to the nations of
the world her impudent doctrine of Free
Trade-that the way for them to grow
rich was to raise raw products for her use
at prices she would see fit to pay, and to
take from her in exchange manufactured
goods at prices she should see fit to charge.
