SENATOR SHERMAN ON THE TARIFF.
Senator Sherman of Ohio, has written
letter to the Secretary of the Society for
the Protection of American Industry, at
Cleveland, in which hesays: O We must
depend upon the constant employment of
our industrial classes, and the rapid de-
velopment of our physical resources, to
meet the burdens imposed on us by war.
Our industry must be expended in en-
ployment that will yield the greatest re-
turn" In order 10 meet our financial ne
cessities, he says it will be necessary to
"levy heavy taxes on imported goods, " and
that " in making the levy we should not
only seek as much revenue in gold as pos
sible, but in doing so we should also pro-
tect the industry Of our people" He
concludes by saying: We can encour-
age the skill of our own people, and IN
dues to our soil the industrial classes of
all nations. w thus develop our resour-
ces, and add new families TO share not
only the blessings Of a powerful and free
government, but also the burdens which
its promotion has east upon u.s. -

"A Democratic exchange referring to
the recent trouble at Aqua Greek says !:
The end of these negro riots and mu-
tinies will only occur when we extend to
the negro no more consideration than we
do to white men. .see
Are Democrats willing to accord the
same consideration to the negro as to the
white man? We ought to believe that
when that is done there will be no more
riots and mutinies. Democrats have it in
their power to lead valuable assistance
Will they aid in establishing reign of
peace?

It, and that Faith let u.s. the
Emancipation in Brazil. ,

Ihe example OF the United States
in the abolition of slavery has induc-
ed the friends of progress in Brazil
to renew their efforts to secure the
emancipation Of slaves in that En-
pire. Slavery being destroyed by.
us, it is now recognized by only two
Christian countries-Spain and Bra
zil, and in the latter some of its wis
est statesmen are earnestly engaged
in the work cf getting rid of it. The
slaves of that country constitute
about one-third of the entire popu-
lation, and as there is not anywhere
in the whole Of its large territory
any considerable body of the, white
people not Shareholders, the plan for
the abolition of fsavery has been or,
gapized by shareholders alone, There
being, nothing in theba Empire uat
preasent to demand immediate emah-
cipation, the plan proposed provides
for gradual abolition, but which Will
not, if successful, leave one slave in
the whole territory at the end of fif-
teen years. The prominent features
are these Slaves found running at
large shall not be sold to new mast
ers, but shall be declared free if not
claimed by their proper = owners
within three months ), slaves shall
become free at the death of their own
ers, and wills bequeathing them shall
be voidc tpt the expiration of ten
years all slaves over twenty five
years shall be free, and at the end
of fifteen years slavery shall entirely
and forever cease a system for the
regulation of contracts between man
united slaves and their former
masters, and the education Of minor
freed slaves belonging to the Govern
ment; provision for the maintenance
of aged and disabled slaves, and
prohibiting foreigners from owning
slaves at the end of two years. =
When we remember that this plan
has been organized by the most in
nuential shareholders in the Empire,
it is impossible to withhold express
siohs Of admiration. Had such a
proposition been made by the slave
holders in this country, the most vi
olent abolitionists would have beer
content. But unfortunately sucl
humane feelings did not prevail IL
the South, and in wicked attempt
to establish a separate government
based upon the odious system, huhd
reds of thousands of lives were sac
rifccd and untold sums of treasure
expended.
The statesmen of Brazil are mos
earnest in their great work, and ara
determined not to relinquish it until
success CROWDS their effort. 1t il
understood that the Emperor Dor
Pedro II i. favors the measure, an(
will do his part towards securing it
success. With sla7ery abolished il
Brazil, Spain and her colonies, Ken
tucky viii remain as the only rea
slave State in the civilized world.

j. Shipherd, Secretary of the "North
western Freedmen's Aid Commission,
communicates to the Chicago Jonaotthe
following extract from a recent business
communication from one of our teacheas
at Mobile, Alabama, For the last two
months we have been in the frequent re-
ceipt of similar statements equally eredi-
bic. The author of the extract herewith
is a gentleman of moro than ordinary in
telligeuce, and especially prudent in re-
gard to the repetition of rupors.
ttG' THE EXTRACT
With the present tendency of mat
ters in this State, | do not think colored
schools can be opened very genereliy, ex-
cept in such places as this, Montgomery,
etc By Governor Parsons proclama-
tion, civil law, as it existed before the Or
dinance of secession was passed, is now
in force throughout the State.
{" In accordance Herewith, the Mayor
of this city decides that the testimony Of
a colored man against white man cannot
be admitted in a court of justice; neither
can a colored man sue or collect debt of
a white man. The freedman is only
one in name, while his actual condition is
worse than when slave. This is the
very result which rebels wish to bring
about
d" A meeting was held here last night,
before which statements were made as to
the treatment of colored by white people,
in the interior of the State which would
make you sick of life One hundred and
thirty-five dead bodies wer counted in
the woods; five bodies were seen floating
in the river; two white men were seen to
pull a negro down across log and cut his
head off with an sx. Women and chill
dren were killed, and then boxed up and
thrown into the river; woman was kill
cd by a white man, and burial refused by
him to her relatives.
For black man to be eeea with
greenbacks' in his possession is death.
Colored people are hiding in the woods,
living on berries, fruits, etc., to escape
the fury of their former masters.
"These statements were made by intel
ligent, candid, colored men before an au-
dienee of several hundred last night
In Mobile, through the connivance of
somebody, churches and negro houses are
burnt, women set to work cleaning the
streets, men and women arrested in beds
and taken to the guard house, fined Or sent
to the work house, ETC., etc.
Last night there was q heavy fire, in
which three or four squares, mostly of
negro quarters, were burned Men were
heard to say that before they were done,
they wculF burn every negro quarter and
sohool-house in Mobile These things
might be remedied" !"

A Olergioal Speoulator Ruined.


Providence Journal relates the following
melancholy Incident of .metropol, tan life:
hWhiist descending from the upper
part of the city this morning, I'found in
the cars an aged clergyman, long since
retired from the pulpit, but who | recol-
lect as one of the most popular preach
ers Of other days. As | sat beside HIM |
inquired after several clergymen with
whom | was formerly acquainted. Among
the rest was the Rev. Mr.. -. "When
| last saw him." said the aged clergyman
in response to my inquiry, he was quite
well. His departure was most unfortu-
nate aud melancholy "You amaze me, I"
said l, pray, sir, what do you mean by
hisdeparture :" Willy, he was dismissed" +"
returned my aged friend, "have you not
heard of it?"
On my replying in the negative,
and continuing my expressions of sur
prise, the old man related the following
narratives "The Rev. Mr., as you
know succeeded his father in the pulpit.
He had one of the largest and most fash
ionablc, certainly the welthiest congrega-
tions in the city of his sect, representing
from five to six millions of dollars. They
adopted the son as their pastor before the
death of his father, and showered on him
every favor, benefit and good Office
His salary was seven thousand dollars a
year, and the gifts of his Pensioners, to-
gether with church fees, would probably
amount to as much more. He was be-
loved and honored by everybody. Two
years ago his father died and left him,
his only son, sixty thousand dollars.
Two years and half ago, the Rev. Mr..
was induced by friend to purchase
few shares in railway stocks in Wall
street. He was lucky at the outset; was
induced to dip further; was again lucky;
and luck led him On to ruin From that
time up to about year ago, he kept his
Wall street broker employed, with vari-
ed success. From dealing in stocks he
went into gold gambling the end Of that
need hardly be related. He scon found
himself not only bankrupt but he had
sacrificed all his mothers estate, had in
volved his wife's father to the tune of one
hundred thousand dollars, and had rem,
dered two or three of his Yealthy par
ishioners liable to the loss Of sums vary
ing from one hundred and fifty thousand
to forty thousand.
He now found himself but little better
than besgar in the world The proper
ecclesiastical authority ipterfered, took
the matter up, and manifested great in
dignation. | was selected as go-between
for both parties. | accepted the Office
[ found the authorities unanimous aeains
the Rev. Mr., and advised him tc
resign, as it would be idle and absurd tC
contend with that body. lie adopted
my advice, resigned, took his family to a
sequcstered retreat in neighboring State
where they reside, consigned to poverty
Some months agoa few of the member:
of the Rev. Mr. .L-'s congregation rails
ed fund of thirty thousand dollars fol
him and urged him to quit his native
land for awhile and sojourn in Europe
He accepted their proposition, and is now
in Germany. His sad fate should be &
terrible warning to all clergylhen agains
stock gambling.

Our Foreign Relations.

The steady rise of our bonds in the Eu-
ropean market, and the enlarged demands
that has recently sprung up for them
there, is an evidence of the satisfactory
relations Of European Governments with
our OWE. It was feared for a time that
the Mexican enlistment in this city, fcti-
tions though they were know to be here,
might LEAD. to rem0nstranees ON the part
OF France, and our credit was in conse-
quence for a short time unfayorably af-
fected but the speedy and complete col
lapse Of the entire movement, and the
prompt action of the Government in pre-
venting the sailing of suspicious vessel
from San Francisco, quickly restored CON
fdence abroad.
The fact is, if we may take the solemn
allegations of the leading statesman of
England and, France, there IS nothing
they are more anxious to maintain than
peace with the United States and to
that end, they will adopt all possible mea-
sures. England is even wiling to dis
cuss the question Of pay ing damages for
the injuries inflicted by the Alabama !;
and the official mouthpiece of the French
Empire proclaims the anxiety of his
government to find some feasible mode of
escape from Mexico There is no doubt
that our government meets all this in a
like eoncilliatory spirit and there, is no
donbt tnatthereia iti supported BY the
great body of the American people. =
