We ask our readers to look at the follow

a capital of one million, declared last jan

and on the first of the present month an
other of twenty per cent; that is to say,
they have cleared nearly half their capital

Hill mills ten per cent. in January, and
twenty in July the Appleton mills twenty
per cent. in January, and ten in July.
And SO Oh. In addition to these enor-
nous dividends, we are informed that
many of the companies have greatly en-

manufacturers, furiously denounces every

We copy, on our second page, a
bitter article from the Chicago
Tribune, on the present Tariff bill
now pending in Congress. 1t will be
we'll for the Congressman of the
northwest to scrutinize the provisions
of the bill closely. It will prove a
dangerous experiment for the New
England States to attempt to speculate
out of the patriotism of the North
western States. We are satisfied the
present tariff bill is high enough, and
that the imposing of additional duties
in favor of New England and Penn
sylvania manufactures, will not be
tamely submitted to by the people of
the agricultural States. They are
patriotic and hate traitors, but woe to
that party or section who attempts to
turn that patriotism to pecuniary ac-
count. We again warn Western
Congressman to be on the lookout.

AN EDITORIAL CHANGE. = We under
stand that Judge Perkins has retired from
the editorial charge of the Herald. The
dirty work required of him by the horse
contractor was more than he could submit
to without loss of his self-respect, and he
took the only course left him-a resigna-
ton of his position as editor-tn-chief
1t is reported that Joseph ]. Bingham,
late Government witness, will run the
paper in connection with Hall. They are
worthy of each other, and will make the
Herald a reflex of their peculiar talents
and characteristics.-Ind Indianapolis Journal.
Another account says GEORGE
HARDING, formerly local editor of
the Journal, and more recently of
the Herald, is to be the ostensible
editor-in chief, with BINGHAM sub
rosa, and horse-contractor HALL as
chief director.

Major ROBINSON did not, in the re-

He painted in vivid colors the fierce
contest at Franklin, and expressed
the belief that there HOOD received
the punishment which prevented him
from invading Kentucky, and perhaps
the Northern States, and he attributed
the glorious victory there achieved to
the fact that taoo divisions of Indiana
troops bore the brunt Of the fight, and

PERsoNAL.-We babe good bye,
yesterday, to Professor E. J RICE, for
the past year Superintendent of our
Public Schools. He goes west to
Kansas and perhaps to Colorado, in
hopes that the dry atmosphere of
those regions of country may materi-
ally improve his health. Professor
Rice has labored faithfully and zeal
ously in our schools, and they have
been materially benefited by his
exertions. His kindness to the chill
dren has endeared him to them, and
many, no doubt, will regret to learn
of his departure. He win carry with
him the wishes of large circle of
friends that he may be restored to
perfect health, and have opened before
him an enlarged field of usefulness.

in assuring the Louisville Journal
that the Democracy of Ohio 7" would
prefer the election of the secession
ticket, headed by Judge DUvALL, in
Kentucky. That General HoBsoN
was a soldier in the Union army, is
sufficient in itself to draw upon
him the hostility of the party
that pronounced the war for the
Union failure, and did what it could
to secure triumph to those who took
up arms to destroy it.

Plain and Sensible Talk.

The New Orleans Herald, new loyal paper, con
tains the following sensible view of the question
regarding the colored race:
L" There are men who do not understand the social
problem which the free negro imposes on us for a
solution. Make the most of him. Improve him in
every way that his nature and capacity will bear
and the enigma is solved. If education is good for
the white man, because il makes him better citi-
zen, it is for the black man, because it divine
attribute. If the mute creature becomes more val
liable because we have taught it TO 10 things which
indicate Intelligence, but which arc useless, how
much room for advancement have we in that race
which has always been useful and valuable TO us in
every department of life, and which can improve so
easily? There is no use in avoiding the issue, for
it has TO be met. II uphcaves the social system al
ready, and men might well put their face against
a columbiad as try TO keep it down. The interest of
every man, woman and child in the country can
not be denied by prejudice and it is only prejudice
or passion which refuses to the way out of the
tanglc"
Nothing can be palmer or moro satisfactory TO
any one not stupidity or wilfully blind. Educate
and make the most of the capabilities of the negro
There is occasion TO place him higher in the scale
of society than his natural capacity, and the i'm
he has made of it, places him. There
are very few, if any, who desire to give the negro
any higher standing than he demand as due to
his own merit. Give him a chance and let him
work out the problem of his status himself. Like
everything else he will eventually find his level if
left free. He can not be forced higher, and as a
freeman he can not for any length of time be kept
lower. war of races, if it comes, will be forced
upon him only by most terrible and CALLING out
RACES The negro has fully demonstrated the natu-
raj docilty and noensive character of his race, by
his submission to centuries of slavery in this coun-
try without one serious attempt TO throw off the
yoke.-MenlPhis Post.

How you can Avoid q Bad Husband.

I. Never marry for wealth. y woman's life con-
ssteth not in the things she possesseth.
,. Never marry fOp, who struts about
dandylike in his silk gloves and rufhes, with sill
yer cane, and rings on his fingers. Beware! there
is trap.
3. Never marry a niggard-a closc-hsted, mean,
sordid wretch, who saves every penny, spends it
grudingly. Take care, lest he stint you TO death.
4. Never marry a stranger, or one whose charac-
ter is not known tested. Some females jump
right into the fire with their eyes wide open.
5. Never marry a mope or drone-one thin 6
after another, and let things take their
.. Never marry 4 man who treats his mother and
sisters unkindly or indiferently. Such treatment
is a sure indication of mean and wicked man.
{. Never on any account marry a gambler, pro-
fame person, one who in the least speak lightly of
God or religion. Such man can never make a
good husband.
8. Never marry soven man who is negligent
of his persons or ia his dress, and is filthy in his
habits The external appearance is an index of the
heart
9. Shun the rake as snake-a viper-a very
demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who is addicted
to the use of ardent spirits. Depend upon it you
are better oil alone, than you would be were you
tied to a man whose breath is polluted and whose
vltaIS are beng Gnawed out by alcohol.

Madame Dumorets's Mirror of Fashion, for Au-
gust, truthfully says:
The press of England and. America are each wag-
ing war against prevailing fashion-one against
low-necked dresses and the other against "tilting
hoops"
Low-necked dresses have been worn in England
from time immemoral as full dress" and wer
formerly much moro indecent than now, as the old
portraits and fashion plates show. The moral sense
of the country revolted, however, and for time
evening dresses have been made only moderately
decolLcte, some petty trie of lace added, which
rather heightened than injured the becoming effect
Lately French fashions, such as Pompadour bo-
dies short waists and little bOddces, forming more
strips of silk below the bust, have invaded Eng
land TO such degree as to arouse storm of very
proper and virtuous Indignation, and the res ult
seems likely TO be the extinction of low-neck ed
waists altogether.
In this country low-necked dresses have never
found as much favor as in France or England
Whether it is on account of superior modesty in
ferior physical development the wise must deter
mine Certain it is, that with low dresses Ameri-
can women almost invariable affected pulled lace in
the shape of capes chcmisettes, and in this way
get the credit for roundncss Of form they rarely
possess.
But what they gain on the score of modesty in
hgh-necked dresses they lose in the wearing of
"tilting7 hoops. These latter denominations have
reused foppostion as fierce as that displayed
in England against the low-necked dresses, and we
think with quite equal cause They are, indeed, so
positively outrageous so monsrous, that it is
prising that mon will allow their wives and daugh
tiers to wear them. The quicker hooped skirts go
ont of fashion the BETTER unless some stle is adopted
which is sufficiently quiet and modest for respeCta-
bic women TO wear.
1t is matter OF quito sufficient moment TO merit
the attention of Intelligent women, whether il is
best to give in thoughtless adherence to whims of
fashion that are shameless as we'll inconvenent.

HORRIBLE RArE.-This foul and damnin Q crime

Dunn has been arrested, and is now in the county

which this outrage was committed, to await tn,
slow execution OF the law but the prompt arrest o
the guilty party prevented the people from taking
