A BLUNDER, OR A FRAUD.-A yery
extraordinary fraud, in connection
with Attorney-Gener Stanberry's
opinion, has just been discovered by
Virginia paper. In that document,

occurs the following sentence:
''Alunicipal officers-that is to say.
officers of incor. rated cities, towns

men, town councils, police, and other

published the summary in which the
above section occurs, we were eua-
bled to supply the omission.

UPHILL BUSINESS. One Of the
slowest, and hardest, and most IN
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is
for man to build up successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or a hundred years ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and the facilities for getting adver-
tiseEents before the public were not
so good; but in the jostle of modern
competition, those who sit down and
wait for customers are almost sure
not to get many of them, while by
Judicious advertising man may, in
six weeks, make his name and bust
ness as familiar to the public as those
OF his competitors of twenty years
standing.

pENNsYLHANLA DEMoCRAcY

The address of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Pennsylvania has one merit-lt Is
short. But, brief as it is, it contains almost as
many false assertions as sentences, and Is o
specimen of the very worst kind of political
trickery. All the evils of the war-the loss OF
life, taxation debt, high prices, paper currency
are enumerated as the direct work of the Re-
nublican party. Not word is said OF the
Rebellion. We wonder what stuff Democratic
State Committee can be made of which gravely
submits such an argument as this to the people
II is true that we have great debt, which
bears as heavily upon Republicans as on DEM
ocrats; it is true that we are severely taxed 10
pay it it is true that prices are high, that the
currency is deprecated. All this we know and
lament but it is also true that we owe these
evils. first to the Rebels, and second, to the
Democratic party, and wholly to their COM
biped efforts to destroy the Union. 1t seems
almost absurd to repeat these truths,
for no ingenuity will ever conceal the
great fact that the South rebelled, that the
Democratic party sympathized with rebellion,
and that the Republican party directed and
maintained the War for the Union, and brought
it to q triumphant end. 1t is notorious that the
Rebels depended for aid upon the Democratic
marty that the official action of that party was
hailed in the South as an encouragement TO
persist in rebellion; that if it had not
been for Democratic opposition the
war would have ended years, perhaps, before 1t
did, and that the debt and all our national evils
would now be immeasurably less. There Is
nothing palmer than that the Democratic party
next to the Rebels-is responsible for the
war and the misfortunes that have followed it.
We repeat, therefore, that to compare the rate
of taxation in 1860 with the rate in 1856, in proof
that the Republican party has mismanaged the
finances, without word of reference to the
war, is simply the meanest kind of political
trickery, and certain to damage the cause 1t
was meant to help This address is insulting
| to the intelligence Of the reader, and slander
of the North, for the Republican party and the
North throughout the war were one and ndl-
visible. 1t is all the loyal States that this
Democratic Committee accuses of tyranny, and
| hatred, and corruption.

Our readers will remember tho particulars OF
the murder of the captain and crew OF the
American bark Rover by the abOrigines OF tho
Island of Formosa, in March last. 1t was ap-
parent, from the letter of our special cores
pondent, printed few days ago, that the
Chinese authorities on the Island were un.
willing or unable to repress the barbarities Oh
the natives, and, notwithstanding fair promises
had no intention of bringing the murderers 10
Justice. The Island was visited the 2Sth OF Aprii
by Mr.. Legendre, the American Consul at Amoy'
in the limited States steamer Ashuelot; and by
Cable dispatch which we print this morning We
learn that the men-of-war Hartford and wy
oni were ordered to the scene OF the out
rage early in June, and had fight with the
natives which lasted over five hours. Lieut.
SIideIl Mackenzie was killed and fifteen OF the
officers and men composing the attacking party
were sunsifuck. The security OF American
seamen sailing in Chinese waters requires some
more practical measures than desultory fight
with savages; and we hope the return oil INC
war steamers to Shanghai may not indicate a
purpose to leave the matter rest.

PROPERTY IN RR1INS.

The production of "Caste" at the Broadway
Theater has led to legal proceedings, which are
ended for the present by Judge Barnards
decision in favor of the defendants. The
facts in the case are these: "Caste is an En-
glish comedy, written by Mr. L. w. Robert
son. 1t was first acted on the 9th of last
April, at the Prince of Waless Theater in
London. 1t made hit at the outset; it was
subsequently acted many times; and it was
generally conceded to be good and q
successful play. Mr.. Robertson, a citizen of
London, copyrighted his play under the laws
of England, retaining it, however, in manu-
script. Except for its public performance
which the law describes, we believe, as limited
publication--it was never published at all. To
protect himself still further against piracy, and
10 reap, in the United States as well as at
home, the rghtful reward of his labors, Mr.
Robertson avaled himself Of the opportunity
to sell a copy of his manuscript to Mr.. Lester
Waack, the manager of Wallacks Theater In
this city-it being agreed between them that
Mr.. Wallack should have the exclusive right to
represent it in New-YOrk and Brooklyn In
the mean time Mr.. w. j. Florence, making
visit to London, wherefrom he has just re-
turned, procured a copy Of Caste" which he
has brought out at the Broadway Theater,
without the authors consent, of course, and in
direct defiance of his expressed and known
desire. Thereupon action was brought by
Mr.. Lester Walack to stop the representa-
ton of the piece, and prevent the violation
Of bis rights of property. From our point
of view it is perfectly clear that injustice
has been done both to Mr. Robertson and
to Mr.. Wallack. In the shameful absence of
an International Copyright Law, Mr.. Robertson,
of course has no copyright on his play, in this
country. None the less, however, has he rights
Of authorship which gentlemen are bound to
respect. He has done the best he could, not
only to protect himself, but to protect the
American purchaser of his play in the enjoy
ment of rights of property, fairly and honor
ably acquired. Mr.. Wallack recognizing the
law of honor, which Is binding upon gentlemen
everywhere and at all times, has obtained the
play by purchasing IL from the author. In what
manner Mr.. Florence has obtained it, his pub
lished affidavit shows. He claims to have at
tended its representation in London, to have
committed it to memory, and subsequently to
have written it out Upon the probability of
that statement there is no need OF present re-
mark. If literally true, it gives MIR. Florence |
no right to appropriate to his own use and |
advantage tho a property of another man.
The law On this point, we believe. Is yet |

Order No. 40 of Gen. Pope afiiIms that he is

tiOn by denunciations and threats He there
fore directs that all State or municipal adver-
tisements shall hereafter be given to those
papers only which do not oppose the laws of
Congress, or incite opposition to the civil Off
GERS appointed under their authority. This
order is sweeping, but we do not see that it is
unjust. That it will provoke storm of abuse
throughout the South is inevitable.

to be properly settled The point of Justice Is
perfectly clear To steal an authors manu-
script is admittedly wrong. To commit Its
contents to memory, and then to use it, is to
whip the devil round the stump in very inge-
nious manner While we lack an International
Copyright Law, everything that can be done
should be done to carry into fullest execution
the laws of honor We know not what legal
rights of literary piracy may exist but to our
minds the production of "Caste" at the Broad

have stated is clear case of breach of equity
and moral obligation.

Lopez, the betrayer Of Macmillan, is said to
have been assassinated at Puebla If the news
is confirmed, few, if any, will lament him. The
only thing by which he ever made his name
known, was fraud and treason When he first
betrayed his own country, the French rewarded
him with the Cross Of the Legion of Honor,
but Bazaine never trusted him. Recently his
treason was the immediate cause of tho can
ture and death of Maximilian; but great "a

Republicans in Tennessee are convinced that
the disfranchisement of white voters might be
to great extent repealed with general ad-
vantage. Prominent men at Nashville are urg-
ing Gov. BrOwnlOw to convene the old Legis-

has already expressed himself in favor of am
nesty, there is good reason to hope that Ten
nessee will speedily prove that the triumph of
Justice is also the triumph Of charity.
