GEORGE ALPRED TOWNSEND writes
from a Newport hotel as follows: "In
the great empty Office where the visi-
tors were few enough to keep desk for
the attaches, stood in Il moment, un-
easily, in the presence of that impene-
trable person, the hotel clerk. He shot
me through the body with one lofty re-
gard. Then he looked at fly on the
ceiling and pushed me "a pen while he
whistled softly. 1 would have given
away the art to write my name for one
smile. There came to me belief that
away back in tie past, in some Pytha-
gorean stage, I must have owed this
man money. Else why this tiutter of
nv pulses, this consciousness OF in
equality, the mysterious magnetism of
his quilts, ringlets and diamond pin!
oh, Providence, bury US not beside the
hotel clerk. Death would be conscious
any where near him. He takes no note
OF the name entered, wheels a key oil a
peg, and looks Mt the fly with one eye
shut again. I take courage. Bed
me in cockloft! but 1, too, will have a
look at this remarkable fly. find
nothing remarkable aboutit. Perhaps
a pen behind my ear might improve
my view. So took up pen from the
rack and gravely followed with my
own the eyes of this noble entomolo-
gist. Immediately three other visitors
looked up. Five walters with whisks
turned their observations the same
way. A terrier did the same and
barked.
"'What do you see, sir p says one.
"'I see a t1v-the same that the clerk
here was looking at two years ago.
Thought 1 would wait till he found time
"Glorious Jove! 1 had the victory.
There was positively a blush on that
cold, imperial brow; then flush of
wrath.
"'Go on, Sam, with the mans carpet

IT is instructive and sometimes profit
able, as well as curious, TO examine the
way In which the cost ofa commodity is
piled up between producer and con-
sumer by freights, handling duties, ex-
change, and the commissions and
profits of middlemen. Tea, for exam
pie, is sold by the grower in China and
Japan at various prices, from about
fifteen to thirty cents a pound. With
freights added, it is said to cost when
laid down in any of our principal sea-
ports an average of fifty cents in gold
a pound for superior brands or "chops."
Taking this as a. starting point the adj
ditional charges before it reaches the
table of the consumer are said to ac-
cumulate as follows :-Original cost of
rency 10 pay for IL, 20 cts. duty in
gold. 25 cts; discount on currency to
make up the gold, Is cts. contingen-
cies, 10 cts. profit of importer, 12 cts. /;
profit of jobber, 13 cts. profit of re-
taller, say 20 cts. Total, 81 "a. OF this,
fifty-tour cents are comprised in three
profits, thirty-five cents in exchange
for gold, twenty-five cents in duties
and Ten cents in contingencies (; in all
one dollar aud twenty-four cents, in
addition to the cost on board ship at our
wharves. Before the war the cost
would have been about as follows:-
Original cost, imported, so cts. ten per
cent. for contingencies, cts. profit of
iobber, 8 cts. profit 10 the retailer, II
cts, Total. so cts.

WE are accustomed to amuse our
selves with the errors made by igno-
rant persons who endeavor to express
themselves with ga pen in hand" We
laugh at the idea of person attempt-
ing to write poetry who cannot spell;
and 1t seems ridiculous for one to essay
a prose composition whose diction vio-
lates rhetoric and grammar. Yet there
may be a noble literature in an age ut
terly illiterate. Macaulay, in his ia
nous chapter on the Scotch OF the time
OF William I'LL, says:
The arts of poetry and rhetoric may
be carried near TO absolute perfection,
and may exercise a mighty influence
on the public mind, in an age In which
books are wholly, or about wholly, I'M
known. The first great painter OF life
and manners has described, with vi
vacity which makes 1t impossible to
doubt that he was copying from nature,
the effect produced by eloquence and
song on audiences ignorant OF the al
phabet. It is probable that in the High
land councils men who would not have
been qualified for the duty of parish
clerks sometimes argued questions OF
peace and war, of tribute and homage,
with ability worthy of Halifax and
Caermarthen, and that at the Highland
banquet, minstrsls who did not know
their letters sometimes poured forth
rhapsodies in which discerning critic
might have found passages which
would have reminded him of the ten
derness OF Otway or of the vigor of
Dryden.

MANY of the planters of Tennessee,
acting upon the advice of the Memphis
Avalanche, threaten the colored people
whom they employ WITH dismissal I'M
less they consent to vote the conserva-
tive ticket. This injustice Is the greater,
as in numerous cases the colored men
crops. The matter was brought before
General Carlin. who directs the Sub
Commissioners to instruct the freedmen
10 vote as they please, and to keep an
exact record of all cases of dismissal.

THE New York Financial Chronicle
contains long column of figures ofthe
Indebtedness of the principal cities in
1860 and 1861, from which we condense
the following interesting summary: In
the list which includes fifteen cities.
Baltimore appears to lead, her debt be-
ing at the rate of $9l 7S per head of the
population. Boston follows, owing
S66 so per head; San Francisco owes
SOL "a; Philadelphia is next, owing
$50 So per head; New York owes 1853;
Louisville, Sal l8; Brooklyn, $3S Al: st.
Louis, 27 62; Chicago, S26 SO. Tha ratio
of Indebtedness per head has most
largely increased, comparing 1865 with
1860, in New York, where it has risen
from S2s 81 in 1860 to $40 S3 in 1865; in
Philadelphia it has risen from S42 49 to
$50 so; in Baltimore FROM sS4 % to S9l 73;
in Boston from S62 81 to sG6 so. In Lou
isville and Cincinnati it has decreasedi
in Chicago it has risen from $l9 Is TO
S26 93. This additional Indebtedness,
however, affords an imperfect cri-
teriOn Of the real augmentation.
Not only has the interest ac-
count been increased to an extent
corresponding with the above shown
increase of debts, but the local expen-
lItures also have been eXtravagantly
augmented. Running to the tax list
for evidence of the weight of our pres
ent burdens compared with those of
1860, we select the only six cities pre-
santinp complete returns.

A large number of the journeymen
carpenters of the city were yesterday
on a strike, the difference between them
and the employers arising from the fact
that the jOurneymen demanded the
privilege OF ending their days work on
Saturday at P. NJ. The bricklayers
have already such an arrangement, and
to make the same demand in the course
of few weeks.
FroBI The Baltimore american.
For several months past there has
been engendered an ill-feeling between
the master workmen of the various
branches of the mechanic arts and their
EMPLOYEES, which at first originated in
the demand for an increase OF
wages, and then the privilege OF
disseminating work at four o'e1ock TIH
on each Saturday afternoon. Ihis
latter determination has proven
very objectionable to the builders and
house-carpenters, and hence they have
held several meetings and resolved not
to yield to the demands OF the journey
men. The following are the rates which
are paid to the journeymen of the var
ious branches per days work of ten
hours: Bricklayers, 81 90; house car
penters, three grades, viz: $3.50, S2.75
and So; plasterers, 81; painters, So;
grainers, so much per Job; hod-carriers,
g, so recently demanded and paid at
present; laborer, with horse aud cart,
81. so: cellar iiggers, excavators and la
borers generally, $3.50; timers, S2,s5;
blacksmiths, 81; plasterers, best hands,
$3.50; and plumbers at least that much,
The daily pay of stone and marble cut.
ters will average about 81 90. In regard
to the pay of the bricklayers, IL should
be stated that these men cannot possl-
bly, average more than eight and half
months in the year.

From he PTeIton County Journal
.l,, fan, of onr State


We notice that "A few of our State ex-
changes are urging upon the Republi-
can party the propriety of holding
State Convention this fall. We cannot
but believe the proposition to be ILL
timed, and that there Is no need for a
Convention until one is held for the
purpose of electiug delegates to the
National Republican Convention for the
noniIation of candidates for President
and Vice President, which will prooa-
bly, be next summer.
we know of nothing claiming the
special attention of the republican
party of this State, through State Con-
yen;ion, for it is not year since the
party through their Parkersbur9 Con-
yention enunciated their principles,
and nothing hns certainly transpired
in the political world since, that re-
duires fuller declaration of our faith
and principles, or the insertion OF any
new planks in our platform. No State
officers are to be elected this year, but
the annual election for Delegates and
Senators is an occasion of sufficient i'm
portance to arouse the party to action,
preparatory to the great conflict next
year. In support of the proposition
for Convention, the Fdirmont Vedette
says: ..
ave have a new Legislature to elect
this Fall. The position of every man
who desires election by Union men
ought to be well defined. No man
ought to be nominated or voted for
who will not stand square up" on the
platform and pledge himselfto carry
out the principles of the party"
We have a new Legislature to elect
every Fall, and if the principles of the
party were not sufficiently known, or
if the platform needed a new plank or
two, there might be some ProPriety in
holding State Convention. We war
rant that "the position of every man
who desires election by the Union men"
lciu be defined, and that the party in the
different counties will see to 1t that only
such men are voted for as will "stand
square up on the platform, and pledge
themselves to carry out the principles
OF the party" which principles are
"known and read of all meni" hence
we think there is no good to come of a
State Convention.

IMPEACHAIENT-GRANT's TESTING
Mt was with some difficulty the
General was brought to the stand,
lof the impeachment committee, |
believing, it is said, that some effort
would be made to draw from him his
political views. After a weeks de-
lay, the General was sworn, and testi-
fed that he was consulted by Presi-
dent Lincoln on the subject of
restoring the State of North Carolina
to her former relations to the Union;
that Mr.. Lincoln read to him pro-
clamation he had prepared on the
subject, and that the proclamation
issued by President johnson relative
to the State of North Carolina was
identically the same as the one which
Mr.. Lincoln had read to him Just
prior to his death. This becomes
important, in view of the fact that
the advocates of impeachment rest
their case r-;cc;is;a.iiJyupon upon ttihe policy
Of the President in restoring the
Southern States. The judiciary
Committee, it is understood, stand
five to four against impeachment,
and the majority report will be made
by the Chairman, Hon. James Will
son, of Iowa.
