A Good Specimen OF the Reductio nd Absurdum.
From the New York World
OF FREE TRADE


That free trade is disastrous policy, and
cannot be otherwise, is proved by the misera-
bic condition of the people OF these United
States under the Union which binds them to-
gether. -..-.
If there were no Union, each State would be
free to enact such laws Us IL might deem eXpe-
dent for the protection of its own industry by
laying q tariff on the products of every other
State, precisely as the general Government
now does with reference TO the products OF
foreign countries.
If There were no union the New England
and Eastern States could levy tariffs upon
Western wheat, corn, beet, pork, ana other
staples and by making the rates high enough,
induce the resident farmers TO produce these
things ut home, sustaining their own people,
nud not relying for these necessaries OF life
upon the pauper labor of the West. The
western States, in their turn, could also levy
tariffs upon Eastern cotton'and woollen cloth,
boots shoes, hats, tools, and yankee notions
generally, and by making the rates high
enough, promote the production of these things
among themselves. and not rely upon the pau
per labor of the East
The effect also, would necessarily be con-
stant flow of gold from every State TO every
other State, because every government that
adequately protects its own labor against the
labor of other countries is sure to have iloW
Of gold into it.
Another advantage resulting from there
never having been union of the States would
have been the large number OF custom mouse
officers and other officials (almost without
number) who could have been furnished with
offices upon fat salaries.
These blessings, however, are al prevented
nv the National Government, which is clearly
chargeable with the unhappy aEd impoverlsh-
ing consequences resulting from the free trade
between the States.
For one, must ever protest, in the interest
of humanity, against any further extension OF
our territory. So long as we can prevent 4
union with the British possessions on the
north, so long each party can grow rich by
enactinc stringent tariff laws against the
other, and by that other magical panacea,
importing gold'' from each other; but let
us once be united, and the people on ooth sides
must inevitably be impoverished.
In these changing times is it not possible TO
po back TO true principles, and permit each
State, each county, each town, to protect lIself @
against he paIpsr or Mr Garev can point the
way. 1hor ioNi'i'

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Ford, OF
Henrico county, was brought before the
Mayor yesterday on Il charge of numerically
beating his mule. 1t was proved that the ac-
cused, being observed by Justice Higgins, was
ordered to desist; whereupon he made use OF
the most insulting and disrespectful language
to the magistrate. On his arraignment, Ford
plead ignorance of the law concerning cruelty
TO animals and of the position of MIR. Higgins,
which he was informed was no palliation for
the offence. He was fined $50 and required 10
give security to keep the peace.
Perhaps II is not generally known to the
marketmen and others who are in the habit
of indulging in the pastme OF cruelty beating
their mules and horses that the offence IS
punishable by a fine not exceeding .fue hundred
doLk,rS AS the Mayor justly remarked to MI.
Ford, the city is not 4 proper place TO break
unruly animals.

RgLIGIors MEETIgGs.-We hear that the Sc
ries of meetings commenced Sycamore church
some two weeks since con tlnue. The in terest is
augmenting. Nightly congregations fill the
building to repletion, who listen 10 the eX-
poundngs of the eloquent and erudite pas
tor-Rev. DR.. Hopson-with the closest and
most undivided attention. Up to the present
time over thirty persons have been added to
the Church by submitting TO the solemn ordi-
nance Of baptism-embracing both sexes, and
bering among them the Hover and pro-
mise Of the rising generation
A series of meetings are also progressing ut
Centenary Methodist church, Rev. Nelson
Head, ID. d., pastor, rs we announced in our
issue of Friday last. These meetings are
largely attended, and the interest does not flag
in the least
At the Union Hill M. E.) Station, Rev P.
A. Peterson, the good work Is progressing
gloriously. Mr.. Peterson has been much aided
in the pulpit and 1T the penitential seats by
the Rev. Leonidas Rosser, ID. D., one of the
most Jealous and eloquent reYivalists in the
State.
Trinity Methodist church commenced 4 Sc
ries of meetings last night.
1t is stated that series of meetings are
about to be commenced at the Clay street
Methodist church-Rev. L. NJ. Peterson pas
tor. This is a growing, iiourishing church,
and has Il wide field for usefulness before it in
the western portion Of the city.
We hear also that it is the intention Of the
Second Baptist church to hold several reli
gious meetings at an early day. The particu-
lar time for them TO commence will probably
not be definitely agreed upon before the latter
portion of the present week.
1t is encouraging 10 every Christian reader
to hear OF this wide extended effort now being
made in our city to promote the cause OF
Christ and uphold the Banner OF the Cross.

IRON THIEvEs.-John Reardon was brought
before the Mayor yesterday, charged with
having in his possession 100 pounds of iron
stolen from Dr. J. l.. Archer
DR.. Archer identified the iron in question as
his property, and Reardon claimed TO have
bought it from John Clark, George Dickinson,
and Julius Carr, three negroes, who were
brought into court At his suggestion. Wit
nesses were introduced TO prove that certain
negroes were seen weighing iron on the pre-
misses of the accused but the evidence did not
conclusively establish their identity with the
bows named above. Policeman Shook testified
that Reardon manifested no desire TO erade
the search warrant, and did all in his power 10
assist in the arrest of the negroes.
All the parties We're sent to tho Hustlngs

DEATH OF GREAT PUGIL1sT.-The death
of IzzY LAZARUS is announced in the New
York papers. He died at his eating and drink
Ing house in that city on Thursday last He
was an Englishman, and had won, in his prime,
great distinction in the prize ring. He was
flfty-flve years old when he died His weight
in his fighting day was only 1876 pounds. When
he died he weighed 800 pounds. His great
achievements were in England. He was the
son of an Israelite, and living in Petticoat
Lane, London, was called the "pet OF that
street. from his pluck and skill in the art OF
self-dcfencc. His first great fight was with
an Irishman named FLORA MCCARTHY, in
which, though powerfully punished, he tri-
umphed after q fight Of over an hour. This
gave him great fame. He won afterwards
several fights with very famous pugilists, and
was beaten in two. He defeated Tom MALEY,
and then had only one man between him and
the pionship-viZ., OWEN SWIFT. a lght
between them was made up, and occurred IN
1897. 1t was one Of the most stoutly contested
that ever occurred in Eugland-going through
lob rounds, and lasting nearly live hourS.
Every device and dodge known to the ring was
resorted to to worry IzzY out, and at last ms
adyersaries succeeded. He became disgusted
from this unfarness, and retired from the life
i'm the ring. He was one of the most distin-
guished of the profession. He came to this
country in 1853. ! He lived first in New ori,
then Buffalo, then New York again. He has
followed the business of keeping public
house, which was 4 resort for the "fancy,"
who cultivated his acquaintance and consult
ed him about their matters. That distln-
guished gentleman Mr.. MoRRIssEr, who, by
Il 'great moral combination,' has been sent
TO Congress from New York city, was most
intimate friend of LAZARUS. To his latest
days of locomotion LAZARUS displayed deep
interest in all "milling operations and
never failed to see 4 fight when within reach
of him,

General stones Case.

We give place to the letter of General Stone,
who is now citizen of Virginia, that our
people may realize the malignity, wckedness,
and diabolical hypocrisy of the Radical party,
and to assist in acquainting posterity with the
same facts. II, says the National Htelltgemcer,
list were to be made Of citizens who were
subjected to military Imprisonment without
cause, some Of whom died, or whose healths
were permanently impaired, it would be fear
full to contemplate. The Boston Post, in Civ
ing place to the letter of General Stone, speaks
as follows:
The letter from General Charles P. Stone
will escape no readers careful perusal. no
fuller commentary can be furnished on the
malignant cowardice which was the inspiring
motive in this remarkable case. Had 1t occur
red in Italy the press Of 9 liberty loving
party would have rung with terrific denun-
Citations of such fragrant, inhuman, and de-
testible abuse Of power. But occurring in
this free country, and the sufferer being no.
thing more than brave and sel1-sacrihclng
soldier of the Union, it challenges no response
of sympathy or Indignation from men whose
patriotism is limited TO Fictitious ambition,
and whose sense of humanity is a mere break
ing ont on the lips.
The part played by Mr.. Sumner in this histo-
ric transaction no man will envy. 1t is written
down past erasure No pen may smooth away
the horrid imputations which so plainly lie
| upon his conduct. It was n deed of mystery
| and silence, to be sure; but the fact that nc
words were used in the doing of it connects
the doer and his action more closely than even
| an open proclamation could have done. There
| was the speech in the Senate, supporting the
letters to subordinate officers here is the let
ter of General Stone-a bold, frank, soldierly
| letter-in response to that speech; and the
shameful incarceration, into whose rayless
gloom no light penetrated for full year, and
back to whose dead silence all uttered voices
of appeal fell in cruel mockery, followed close
| after. There is no room for conjecture In
case of this kind. The deed and its author are
coupled forever on the page of history.

THE TIGER AMONG THE CoLoRED FoLKs.-On
Saturday last 4 colored man named John
Reed was arrested on the complaint OF Ben
Scott, a prominent Radical darky, who
charged Reed with attempting to pass upon
him a counterfeit fifty-dollar treasury note.
The case was called yes terday, and Reed made
a statement to the Mayor, which, If true,
would lead to the belief that the "shoe is on

Reed is from Washington, where he learned
to play at the aristocratic game of faro, al
though he never entered much into the

Joined the party, finding himself IN q marvei-
lously short time the loser of fifteen or twenty
dollars. He then drew out n fifty dollar note,
which he supposed TO be genuine, and desired
that il should be changed. The banker sent =
bystqnder out ostensibly for the purpose OF
changing it, but the prolonged absence OF
the messenger led Reed to suspect foul
play. AT length, when his patience was
well nigh exhausted, man entered the
room, and, rapping on the table, advised the
company to scatter, telling Reed that he mad
better skedaddle," as that note was pro-
badly bad one. Going down stairs, the
Washington darky found Ben Scott, who had
been sent to change the note loaiing at the
foot of the steps, and demanded 10 know why
he did not come back with the money. Ben
replied that it was a counterfeit note, and
that he had left it in the office Of the Exchange
Hotel; wherenpon Reed insisted upon LOOKING
it up. Upon inquiry, 1t was ascertalned that
no such note had been offered at that counter
nor TO the clerk of the Ballard House. Reed

LOCAL MATTERS.

A SICK MAN DRowSED.-The body of q
white man was found floating i'll the dock at
the foot of Eighteenth street on Saturday
night. No inquest was held, but 1t was ascer-
tanned that the drowned man was named
Lewis Evans. The deceased came to town on
Saturday evening, and went to the house OF
his father, who resides on an alley on Third
between Franklin and Grace streets. He was
quite unwen, and evidently delirious. His
father, fearing that his landlord would object
to his entertaining him, says that he took him
ont on the street early on Saturday night,
supposing that he would go over to the house
of his wife, in another part of the city. NO
thing further was heard of the deceased until
his body was found Captain Anderson and
others heard Lewis fall in the water, and at
tempted 10 save him from his watery grave,
but when the body was recovered life was ex-
tinct.
Mr. Evans was a man Of good character,
and had many friends. The body was claimed
and buried by the relatives of the deceased.
