Secretary Stanton Sued for False
ImprisOnment, .

An action has been commenced in the
New York Superior Court by James II.
Maddox against the Secretary of War for
alleged false imprisonment and destruction
of n large quantity of tobacco at Freder-
icksburg, the property of complainant.
Maddox was arrested during the war at
Baltimore, on the charge of Illicit traffic
with the rebels. Damages have been laid
at one hundred Thousand dollars, and plain
tiff seeks to make Stanton personally re-
sponsible. The answer of the defendant
contains: First "a plea to the jurisdiction
that neither party is a resident of the State.
Second: A denial of the charges and com
paint of the plaintiff, and denial ofhaving
caused the arrest. Third A statement that
the plaintiff was arrested for offences
against the articles of war, and ON his re-
quest to the defendant In his official capac-
ity, was released on parole by the defend
ant, but was not arrested by him.
Fourth A fuller statement of the manner
and reasons of his arrest, setting up proba-
Bile caIIse for the arrest on information
against the plaintin for trading and dealing
with the enemy while residing in
Baltimore, within the military iuris-
diction under the Presidents procla-
nation; and last, a plea that all his acts iIi
the matter were done in his official capacity.
and, therefore. protected by the act of Con-
gress of March 3, 1868
IL now comes up on motion to strike
out certain portions of the answer as irrel-
eyant and redundant; that some portions
are inconsistent with each other, and others
are bad pleading MS falling to give color,
and, therefore, irrelevant. The present
motion further asks that portions of the
fourth defense be made more definite by
stating more fully the proceedings under
which the plaintilf was arrested.
Judge Cowles argued that there was es-
pecial reasons la this case for making the
pleadings more definite and certain, owing
to the peculiar secrcsy, or, at least inacces-
sibility of proceedings before military tri-
bunals

White Slavery in Yankcedom.

Secretary Seward has formally proclaim
ell the abolition of slavery by COnstitu-
tiOnal Amendment, but Massachusetts, has
either not seen the proclamation, or chooses
10 disregard IL, under the impression that
there is higher law than the Constitu-
ton" Her Legislature has appointed n
committee to investigate the question of the
propriety Of making eight hours the legal
standard for a days labor. Some Of the
operatives In the cotton mills at Fall River
gave the subioined testimony before the
committee: -.' s' ...
1--WE work eleven hours day; have
worked twenty years in the old country
and eight years here; had worked harder
In the last eight years than In the other
twenty; he has to walk from twenty to
twenty-sevcn miles day, attendinga u spin
ming jack. Until within three months he
had to work all the noon hard cleaning mp,
and had to get bites at intervals from his
dinner kettle; now this cleaning work was
only done on Saturday. The operatives
have to work harder here than in England.
If reduction of hours implies reduction
of wages, he would still 90 for it heart and
soul. The machinery had to be oiled be-
fore starting up, in addition to the eleven
hours. In some of the mills on Fall River.
little children were worked eleven hours u
day, and the law which prohibits it was not
enforced; persons have gone to parents to
get children from schools to work in the
mills; old Mr.. Robinson, now dead, would
not allow such a thing in his MILL"
Here is the slavery imposed by avarice on
the impoverished We have for years had
narrowing details of the oppression of
operatives in England by manufacturers
and here is evidence that they are more
heavily oppressed in Massachusetts,. They
testify that any movement on their part to
get II reduction of the hours of labor sub
jects them to discharge and persecution
from the manufacturers. The latter are
among the most clamorOus In bewailing the
unhappy condition of the freedmen and
demanding for him guarantees Of freedom.
Why are not Sumner and Phillips agitatcd
over the slavery Of the white men and wo-
men and children in the Massachusetts,
cotton-mllsY 1t appears from evidence
before the Committee that children seven
years of age are compelled TO work eleven
hours n day there. What matters it
whether slavery results from poverty COM
peting with wealth and avalice, or from
legislative attachment, so long as IL exists
and is equally cruel p Chicago Times.

''lIere is AN exhibit that places protec-
tionists in bad light; with tariff OF
forty or fifty per cent. on imported goods
and premium Of fOrty-siX per cent on
gold, we ought to be heartily ashamed of
| ourselves to allow single case of these
| English prints come into this country with
all the facilities we have of producing this
class of domestics.'
! To ascertain how much more we have
| paid for the whole amount of dry goods
| consumed in the country than we would
have paid without tariff we must con-
trast what they would have cost under free
| importations with the prices which have
| ruled. The manufacturers of New England
grew SO eXorbitant that during the past
year prints could De imported at Il profit,
notwithstanding the enormous tariff. They
have found 1t also 10 their interests not to
run their mills up to their full capacity In
keeping the supply short they increased the
demand, and with il also their profits.
There are consequently, to-day, but small
stocks on hand, and the Economist SAYS
prices are likely to appreciate.
These facts demonstrate the fallacy of the
argument or, rather, the falsity of the pre-
tense, that protective tariff is necessary
/ AS a measure for revenue. Grant that un-
der the operations of such tariff the man
fIctllrers are enabled to add largely 10 our
income under the internal tax laws, what
| proportion does the amount paid by them
! bear 10 that which the people pay in the in
| creased cost of the goods they are compelled
| to purchase? We have shown that In the
past year this increased cost amounted 20 a
sum equal 10 one-siXth of our entire pub
I lie debt,
If the advocates of protection will ascer-
tain the amount of internal tax paid by the
manufacturers, and deduct IL from this sum,
they win then discover the manner I'm
which the nation Is helped to pay its in
4 debtedness under the present system. This,
assuming-which Is far from being true
that the increased cost of our goods has
been only the average duties imposed by
the tariff.
The protectionists must yield their pre-
tense that high tariff Is necessary as n
measure for revenue. 1t would he far more
manly in them to bring forward and rely
upon the old threadbare argument of pro-
lection. The present difficulties are but in-
creased by the tribute which the nation Is
obliged to pay the cotton lords of New
England. They are as impudent as ayari-
cious. Their leader, Senator Sprague, has
already introduced resolution in the Sen
ate at Washington, instrreting the COM
mittee, of which he is chairman, 10 inquire
into the prOprlety of lessening the internal
tax upon manufacturers, and there are fair
prospects that IL will report in favor OF the |
measure, and that its suggestions win be |
adopted by Congress,

.4. From the Chicago Timesl II
Cost of our Present Tariff.

In our financial columns for several weeks
past there have been statements made, with
careful reference to facts appearing Ia con-
nection with them, demonstrating the op-
preston of our present tariff laws. In the
Times financial article of Yesterday MORN
ing and also in one appearing few morn
lngs ago, II was shown that "the increased
cost of dry goods, resulting from the high
tariff. has imposed. during the past year a
tax upon our people equal to one-sixth of
the entire public debt" AS the facts and
figures sustaining this statement were given
i'll the articles referred to, il is unnecessary
here to reproduce them. II IL enough TO
say IN this connection, that the statement
| rested on the assumption that the average
duty on imports of foreign dry goods was
about Az per cent In gold. or G63I Der cent
in currency, which, added to the aggregate
amount of goods consumed, would make
the sum stated. Those who question the
correctness of the assumption must show
that we stated the average of the duty to
be greater than it was, or the amount con-
snmed to be larger than It was. Failing in
this, they must cOncede the correctness of
our position.
BE it remembered that this enormous tax
upon the people resulted merely from the
consumption of dry goods. How they were
Affected otherwise by protective tariff
was shown in the extract from the letter
of Mr.. Tappen, general freight agent of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad,
detailing the c;luses for the high rates of
freight charged by the road. These he al
legged TO be the increased cost of locOmO-
tiyes, rails, spikes, castings, oil, and of all
railway supplies. Nearly all of the art-
cles named by Mr.. Tappen are subject to u
high tariff and could be purchased ut
reasonable prices under low rate of duty.
But the magnitude of the tax imposed on
the people by a high tariff is not fully
stated even in the financial articles to which
we have referred. The effect of the tariff
was for long time to exclude articles
coming in competition with those so ex-
tensiyely manufactured in this country as
nearly to supply the demands of trade.
4 Our manufacturers consequently were not
Icontent with adding merely the duty Of
I419 per cent. in gold-equal to 60M per
cent. in cllrrency-to the cost and fair
profits of their manufactures, but finding
themselves guarded against competition,
they added much more, This is shown by
the subjoined extract from the New York
Economist of this week: nj
ut costs lie. to-day to make a Sprague
print, and the goods are quick ut 27c This
profit ought to satisfy the greatest proteG-
Zionist in this land, and yet they are not
satisfied. What is the result? Last weeks
and this weeks importations as compared
with the corresponding period last year,
answers this query effectively, If not clo-
quently:
