less loyal Congress sees proper to
look after our Interests. We also
have little 8x10 rebel sheet pub
lished in our town. whose christian
name is Progress. but if we were to
judge from its appearance, one would
think there was not very much pro-
gress about it, or at least there was
still room for improvement. In last
weeks issue there was an editorial
for the benefit of ex Union soldiers,
the editor having been himself one !;
so he says. He also. up to a few
months ago, controlled Radical pa
per at Mt. Vernon, Illinois,
but when he comes here, where rebel
ism is at premium, he sells his prin-
cipals for the prospect of few sub
scribers to his little sheet, and now
is as mean a rebel as we have among
u.s. and Notwithstanding this, two
thirds of his paying subscribers are
Union men. Can you imagine, over
in the loyal State of Indiana, Mr..
Editor, how mean a man Will have to
get, when he comes from loyal State
and squats here among us few Union
men, and commences his vile perse-
cutions and SANDERS? So soon as he
finds the rebels have the ascendency,
plants himself on their platform for
the sake of popularity, and especially
while he was, when loyalty was popu-
lar, real Thad. Stevens of fellow;
and / have no doubt when Congress
ipterferes, and disposes of the services
of Mr. Helm q Co., our little yellow
editor will be just as rampant in his
radicalism as he is now in his rebel
ism; but it will be too late then to re-
tract. -;
We have another gentleman in our
community that deserves a passing
notice, as the time may come up here
when loyalty will be test of the
qualifications of voter. The gentle
man to whom | allude is c. {. Gray,
an attorney at our bars. When Mr..
Gray came here he was a loyal man,
he came in good time to be loyal,
aud he came from loyal county, but
he having been used to city lie, this
rebellieus atmosphere would not |
agree with his delicate stomach. He |
has been gradually growing rebellious
now for some time, and just on the
eve of the election he came out in fly
ing colors for Helm and the balance
Of the rebel ticket. Under the pres
emit system of things there is no pros
pect for, Office in the Union ranks,
and that accounts for his sudden
change; and as he appeared as the
next friend of woman in trial a
short time ago in our Police Court,
md not as her attorney, hope
ne will appear as the next friend of
rebelism and not as its attorney soon
n the great trial which is SC Oh to come
IF in this State, to see who shall rule,
Union mel or rebels. Friend Gray
has some talents, but l fear he has
directed them in the wrong channel
?. III. Darby is good Union man
md splendid lawyer, if any one
wants anything done in that line.
Vow Mr.. Editor, let me ask you, in
to use your valuable in
luence to prevent rebels from rul- /
ng our State. Shall we do nothing?
Dr. shall we ask Congress to interfere
q our behalf? But [ have extended
his too long, and will close / con-
you on the large circulation
GU have at this Office with promise
hat it shall be increased.

1t Is now peacefully browsing. The spiritual
advice Of Barnum's old friends is all-importapt
upon the question of the nomination. Ti.ton
and Barnum would, Of course, accept the YER
dict OF these spirits as fnai, because they re-
cognize the voices from the other world as
essential in all their doings. We sent John
Morrissey to Congress from this city to Guilt
vatc the good manners of the members. Bar
mum may do some good there too. He has
managed menagerie very well for a number
of years, and kept grizzly bears and various
other wild beasts in order. His experience,
therefore, may be of some service in the House
in keeping down the angry passions that occa-
sionally arise there II the Snowman who pre-
served the entente eordiale between cats, rats,
monkeys, pigeons, owls and other animals
more or less predatory or ferocious in their
habits can succeed in establishing "happy
family" in Congress, the votes of his constitu-
ents will not be quite thrown away.

The High Tariff Party and Resamptionists II
the Same Bout.
Both those who advocate high tariff and
those who clamor for the immediate resumption
Of specie payments are actuated by the same
motive and interests; indeed, they are for the
most part the same class Of people, whether in
or out Of Congress. This may be said, also, Of
the newspapers II is Q combination Of rich
manufacturers, bondholders and the national
banks, aided by their newspaper organs,
against the working classes, the agricultural
and general industrial interests Of the country,
as we'll as against our depressed commerce and
shipping. Ii is, in effect q combination Of the
wealthy creditors Of the nation against the
mass of debtors, and If successful would result
in making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The class of manufacturers specially bene-
ited by a high tariff are but q small portion Of
the community, scarcely as one 10 thousand
yet the millions are made TO pay through .
high tariff from fifty TO . hundred per cent more
for almost everything they consume TO Hll the
pockets Of this insignificant portion Of the pop
ulation. The argument used by the high tariff
advocates, that the general public reap the ad-
vantage of what they call protection, is all bosh
Fifty per cent or more increased cost on what
the people use or consume meets with no sort
Of compensation in the fostering Of certain
branches of business, If even these are fostered
by high tariff No, the only parties really
benefited, as we have said, are limited class
Of manufacturing capitalists. Even the manu-
featuring operatives gain nothing; for the en-
HANGED cost Of living y greater than the In
crease Of wages. All others, and particularly
the farmers and farm lsborers, are heavily
taxed. The productive industry Of the county,
apart from the fcw manufactures, d compare
lively parslyEed under such system because
our commerce II checked, our shipping busi-
ness declines, and we want markets. Every
way this high tariff policy is monstrous and
destructive. II Is, like The resumption and ma
tonsl bank policy, oil in favor Of tho wealthy
few and against the general public.
If we were to force specie payments, were
that possible, all who owe anything would find
their debts increased over thirty per cent,
while their means would be diminished. II we
consider the number Of debtors, in one way or
another, through commercial liabilities, mort
cages on property and in other ways, We must
see that the mass OF the community would be-
come bankrupt This would be the case espe-
cially in The West The bulk Of the property
Of that section, In Its fine Cities flourishng VII
lagos, and beautiful farms, would pass into the
hands Of Eastern capitalists Forced resump.
tion and bigh tariff together would utterly
ruin the Western people. II really seems sur
prising that any considerable boly Of men can
be found in Congress to favor such partial, sec
tional, and ruinous legislation. The power Of
capital u great everywbere. We know. bvt II b

8ho Trihsne's Charity for thc Poor.
Unlike the gentleman in Washington who
aspeils several sheets Of handsome government
paper in anding fault with the 1ribsne," we
shall not spoil moro than page or 80 Of fools
cap in complaining 81 that journal In connec-
ton with the subject Of the salaries OF govern
ment clerks. Yhe single merit of the Tribsme
is consistency. In its advocacy of high pro-
tective duties and crushing tariffs the Tribune
is consistent in unwearied efforts to make the
rich richer ana tho poor poorer. 1t is emphati-
cally the organ of the rich, and puts its foot on
the neck of the poor. On its own confession 1t
helps other people into fat offices which they
could live without, and labors to keep them
there; but the moment clerk complains of in
sufficient salary all its energies are bent to
have him removed. All its sympathies are
enlisted for the rich man; it struggles to get
him fat Office. Tho poor man with family
to maintain, who has never been able to scrape
together the first thousand dollars-the most
difficult thing young man undertakes when
he starts in life-is an object of scorn to the
Tribune. In the benevolent estimation Of that
worthy Of consideration because he lives on
salary. Against this class the Tribune wages
constant and cruel war in every title of its
financial and political system OF belief and
conduct. To the poor man, in every condition
of life, it is a direful scourge to the rich man
q prop and a consolation. Protection to the
rich manufacturer, the cotton and wool factor,
the iron founder, the wealthy proprietor in
every branch Of trade, means higher prices for
the poor. The very workers in factories, the
men, women and children who toll at the loom,
the furnace ana the mill, are no more exempt
than Others if they consume the fabrics prepared
by their hands. Higher prices for goods mean
more pinching, more Agonizing attempts ut
economy, more scarcity Of comfort, more tight
ening Of the screw generally to the poor man.
1t il perfectly consistent that such journal
should lift up its voice against government
clerks. It is the rich mans paper. With the
poor it has no fellowship. Yet it fancies itself
good newspaper. aThe public," it says,
"wanhng good newspaper and instinctively
knowing one when 1t sees one" most assuredly,
we say, do not buy the Tribune in preference
TO alLothers, as the last balance sheet Of the
concern amply proves Yes, the public does
instinctively know good newspaper; but the
public does not yet fully know the sour, narrow
philosophy Of the Tribune, how little Of the
milk Of human kindness it possesses, how false
and fatal is its pretended philanthropy. and
how dangerous and subversive journal it is
and always has been.

reasonable to expect that under our republican
and popular forN of government the people
would be protected from outrageous monopo-
lies and class legislation. We shall see whether
the present Congress has the sense and courage
to defeat tho Infamous schemes Of the wealthy
manufacturers, bohdholders and national banks
to fasten upon us high tariff and to force
resumption Of specie payments. One thing IS
certain-if they should succeed and thus bring
unparalleled trouble upon the country. the
party in power will be submerged in tho gen.

The newspapers are making an unnecessary
fuss over the communication to the State De-
partment which led to the resign alton of Mr..
Motley, our Ministe at Vienna. We have no
doubt that most of the statements contained in
it are correct, and if they had been forwarded
to us from any of our foreign correspondents
we should have had no hesitation In publishing
them. Nothing is more common than the re-
mark that a. soon IS they get into the atmos-
phere Of foreign courts our citizens are but too
apt to adopt the ideas and spe the funkeyism
that prevail there. IF there Is one thing more
than another that our shoddy parveuus aim at
when they 60 abroad 1t Is to marry their sons
or daughters to the scions of decayed nobility.
We do not quarrel with these tastes in those
who choose to indulge them, but we certainly
do object to their finding expression in the
manner complained Of In Mr.. McCracken's
letter. Whatever may be the opinions of such
men ~ Mr.. Motley and Mr.. Hale as to the con-
duct Of the President and the administration,
common propriety, - we'll as selfrespect.
should dictate their retaining them to them
selves. They should recollect -that- they are
representatives of the government, and that as
such it b unbecoming in them to indulge in
structures calculated to lower it In the estima-
ton Of foreigners. When men holding Official
positions are in the habit of committing such
indiscretions they must not only expect that
they will be closely watched, but that dis
agreeable consequences will ensue.

MIschieveus Publicasieu -Encoura&sment for
Burglars.
One Of tho New York Sunday papers gave m
Its last issue list Of the persons in New York
who own diamonds, with statement Of their
value. Now this could only have been obtain
ed from the jewellers from whom the orna-
ments were purchased. In the case Of some Of
the parties named, made up a. the list is with
ont regard to social distinction, its publication,
se.far as their feelings are concerned, would
be OF little consequence, for they have NO OBJ
lection to seeing their names In print; but
to nose who are differently circumstanced
nothing could well be more offensive. We can,
not understand how tho tradesmen who have
been favored with the custom Of our old famj-
lies could have been betrayed into such vio-
lation of their confidence; but apart from this
consideration there is another which should
have prevented them from being instrumental
to the publication Of these details. They are
positive incentive to burglary, and by sup
plying them they have exposed the families
that deal with them to the danger of being
robbed and assassinatcd. 1t is probable that
as soon as the list reaches the other side 1t will
bring upon US such an influx of expert
cracksmen from the European capitals as has
never before been witnessed in the experience
Of our police. Their notions Of republican
simplicity have hitherto protected us from
their inroads; but as soon ~ they get an ink
ling that New York Is such fruitful field for
their operations we shall unquestionably be-
come conscious of their presence.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS Tuesday night last,
according to the cable despatch, Lord Derby
answered an inquiry Of Earl Russell by saying
that Lord Stanley, the Foreign Secretary, had
asked Mr.. Seward to state plainly tho points of
the claims on which an adjustment by arbitra-
tion was desired by the government Of the
United States. Thus England shows y dispo-
siiion TO settle the matter as soon as . clear
bill Of claims shall have been presented by
Secretary Seward. II Mr.. Seward has not
already sent an explicit statement Of the claims
in question he should send II without further
delay. Let him make ont the little bill at
once and enclose 1t in an immediate reply to
Lord Stanley. The sum total Of the Alabama
claims is but mere bagatelle in comparison
with the vast interests in common between
Great Britain and the United States, and the
imperative necessities for peace and mutual
good will which unite the two nations.
