The Russian government is recruiting
its army by CONSUMPTION from the Poles
for the first time since the Crimean war.
The number of inhabitants in Poland is
now about 5000, 900, and the draft is for
10000 men. OF these one-tenth are al
lowed to commute for the payment of
5000 each-a sum which very few of the
peasants will be able to raise. The con-
scription there is a far different thing from
that in our own country. 1t is supported
by no popular enthusiasm, and receives no
voluntary contributions. The upper
classes of the country are mainly expatria-
ted, and the numerous attempts mt revolu-
lion have been followed in each instance
by severe punishment. There nov re-
main no men for the Russian armies ex-
cept the peasantry. The frontiers are
guarded to prevent escape, and the work
will take a long time. The bloody resist
ance to the CONSUMPTION of two years ago
cost Poland more men thar were demand
ed by the draft, and such must answer it
now, after all.

A Warket for western produce.


The Chicago Tribune states, as the re-
suit of much investigation of the sub
iect, that it costs an Illinois farmer one
third of his crop to send the remaining
two-thirds TO an Eastern market, and ar
CUES in favor of reform. But we opine
the Tribune fails to suggest the rightfd
remedy. Instead of bringing the market
to the produce, or within a practicable
distance, it proposes increased facilities for
getting the produce to the market. 1t
calls upon the government to open
up new lines of communication,
at an expense of a hundred millions
of dollars, by which the cost of moving
produce might be reduced one-half, still
entailing upon producers a tax of twenty
five per eentum in reaching an available
market. Now, we apprehend that the
West will continue to labor under disad-
vantages of this kind so long as it persists
in devoting itself exclusively to agricul-
tural and commercial pursuits, leaving to
the East the sole monopoly of manufac-
turss; but, with a manufacturing system
of its own, which would furnish a hoHe
market for its farm products, it would be
relieved from this incubus upon its prosper
| ity. Hitherto, the West has been content
to pay the cost of transporting its products
to a distant market andthe cost of bring
ing back the manufactured articles re-
quired for its assumption. This double
tax it has submitted 10 under the hal
Iucination that thereby it was receiving
cheap goods. Much of the raw material
requisite for the manufacture of articles
consumed in the West is transported from
the West, or from the South through the
Northwest, to the East, and, after
having furnished employment TO
Eastern operatives, and secured IA profit to
Eastern capitalists, is reshipped tothe West
at the expense of the Western consumer,
whilst this same Western consumer of
Eastern manufactures undergoes the ex-
pense and inconvenience of transporting
to the East the supplies consumed by East
ern operatives whilst f~abricating goods for
Western consumption. Isit not plain as
day that the West is the loser
by this Transaction The value of every
particle of provisions consumed by the la
borers in the factory enters into and forms
A part of the cost of manufactured goods
Is it not clear, then, that the cost of East
ern manufactures consumed at the West
is increased by the mount of the expense
of shipping provisions from the West tc
the East and bringing Eastern manufac-
lures back to the door of the consumer?

a Monument 10 CayahOsa's Fallen
Braves.


Braves
The patriotic people of a number of ON
n~eighboring counties are moving in the
matter of erecting monuments in honor
of the heroic men who fell in the wal for
the Union. This is as it should be, and is
an example worthy of imitation by the
loyal men of Cuyahoga. During the ma
lions struggle with armed rebellion Cuya-
hoga leid as many and as WORTHY offerings
upon the altar of patriotism as any county
of equal population in the land; her
mortality list includes the names of a large
number of her most honored and useful
sons, whilst her msrtyred rank and file
were as true and brave as any who swelled
the ranks of the patriot army-men who
turned their backs upon the comforts and
refnements Of home, with all its pleasing
associations, to perform the wearisome
and dangerous dutier of the private soldier.
Let not these humble heroes be for
gotten. Let the people between whose
homes and the foe they stood an impene-
trable wall-in whose behalf they went
forth to battle and to death-unite in the
erection of an appropriate monument to
commemorate the heroic deeds of these
martyred patriots. Medina county is
erecting a marble of exceeding beauty in
honor of her departed heroes, for which
purpose the sum of six thousand dollars
has been contributed. Cuyahoga ought
to raise double that sum, and, we feel GER
tain, would do so if the matter were only
brought to the attention of individuals in
a practical manner Let our public men
initiate the movement, and let every citi-
zen lend a helping hand. We would
suggest that the Commissioners of the
county and the Mayor of the city confer
together as to the best mode of consum-
mating this most worthy object. Let
meetings be called and committees be ap-
pointed in each township and ward, and
LET us have a monument worthy of our be-
loved dead. Upon it we would inscribe the
name of every son of Cuyahoga county
who gave his life to his country, whether
ne fell ~gloriously in battle or dragged out
a miserable existence in hospital. Such a
monument would add largely to the beau
ty and dignity of Monumental Park, and
in this regard would be worth to the city
double the amount of its cost. We hope
our philosophical citizens will act
promptly in this matter, and thus pay de-
served honor to the memory of the noble
dead to whom we owe so much.

The surrender of the Shenandoah
brought to a close the career of the priva-

ofthe rebellion. Their operations began
with the Savannah on the lst of June,
1861, and closed with the Shenandoah on
the 9Th of November, l8G5-embracing a
period of four years, five months and six

a total of 275 vessels, with q capacity of
nearly 1000, 900 tons. The following are

The Vote of New York CITY.

Yesterday morning we adverted to the
immense falling of in the vote of New
York city, caused by the strict enforce
ment of the new registry law, as an indi-
cation of the frauds perpetrated in the
overwhelming Democratic wards of that
city, where the Union men were in a
powerless minority, at the election in 1864.
In further confirmation of this argument,
we append the vote of the four Democratic
strongholds in 1865 and 1864:

On the Sd of November, Mr.. Adams
having meantime returned no answer to
Earl RusselTs last letter, the noble Earl
returns to the charge in a labored epistle,
in which he deliberately reviews and at,
tempts to answer the letter of Mr.. Adams
bearing date September 18th. He main,
tains that the position taken by the Brit
ish government is precisely parallel with
that assumed by our government in refer
ence to the Portuguese claims. He enters
into an elaborate comparison oftae United
Slates and English Foreign Enlistment
acts, arguing that that of the United States
is as defective as that of Great Britain. In
reference to the actual course of Great
Britain he says, referring to the Soaking,
or Shenandoah:
1t was a merchant ship, unarmed, which
went from the Thames TO a foreign port.
Our Foreign Enlistment Act, like yours,
requires two thing to be proved; First,
that the vessel is fitted out, armed, or
equipped for warlike purposes, but,
secondly, it is not enough to prove that
the vessel is fitted out, armed or equipped
for purposes OF war. The warlike intent
must be directed against some Prince or
State in friendly relations with the
crown of Great Britain. Now, on neither
of these points did you furnish US, nor did
we possess,a title of evidence against the
Sea King, Yet you hold US responsible
for all the ~depredations she may have
committed on the high seas.
1t must not be forgotten that in a free
country the Crown cannot act upon mere
vague suspicion, without some evidence to
submit to a jury and that trial by jury
affords to British subjects the same pro
lection which, in an ordinary state of
peace, American citizens enjoy in your
own country.
Her Majesty's Government desire to be
the most friendly terms with the Uni
ted States, but are not prepared to accede
to any demand which aims al the diminu-
ton Of our freedom or 10hieh assumes, with
ont warrant from any previously recognize
ed authority or practice, the existence of an
Of obligation on the part Of neutrGls
tot0ards 6eLLigereHts, going beyond ana
l0hich the government of a free country
haze poaoer, though acting Nth entire
good faith puHetuatiy to fulfill.
Yet it appears to me, / confess, that as
the law. of the United States nor
our own Foreign Enlistment Act have
proved upon trial completely effacious, 1t
IS north considering aohether Improvements
may not bo mode IN the statutes Of both ma
tons, so that, for the future, each govern
have in its own territory as
security as our free institutions will
against those who act in defiance
the intention of the sovereign and
evade the letter of its laws.

memoranda, rehearsing the steps

Ease of infraction of the enlistment act ;
