The California papers claim that,
in proportion to its size, San Francis
co is the busiest city in the world.
The annual exports are about $40, 900
600; the imports nearly as much; the
manufactures are worth nearly $780,
100000; the real estate sales amount
to sI2, 900, 900, and the cash value of
the land, buildings and movable prop
erty of the city is about 5000, 1000, 900,
although assessed for taxation at only
$4,000, 900. 1t sends away about for
ty tons of silver and six tons of gold
every month.

IN the State of Louisiana about FIVE
negroes to one white man have been
registered under the act, not law, OF
Congress. Such an act is not law.
And if the people of this country are
not greater sneaks and towards then
ever appeared before on this earth, the
time will come when all such acts OF
Congress as this one, to take the Gov
ernment of the country out Of the
hands of the white people and give it
to the negroes, will be pitched into the
sea, in company with those who pass
them.

"THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY rs DEAD"
How often do VIC hear the above assertion
falling from the lips Of those who. If the
Democratic party is dead, as they assert,
are trembling in their boots in very fear of
the ghost of that dead party, even when
The sun is at meridian But il the party
dead Let two millions and half of real
live Democrats answer. Is the Democratic
party dead If 50. il il the largest and
most lively political corpse ever seen 10
this country, aud the Radical leaders will
tind, if they undertake to cofiiu aud bury
it, that neither boards. nor bolts. nor bars,
nor even fctiers Of steel, can contIe its re-
mains Dead No. no think not that
because for time its leaders were exiies,
or confined IN bas,ilcs, and suffering under
the ban and iron heel Of tyranny, that the
party died-ihat it no longer has vitality.
If the conspirators at Washington have
thus beguilcd themselves while attempting
the destruction Of the white mans govern
nicnt-the white mans liberties, and the
yery existence Of the white race on this
continent, by their fanaiicism aud intend
ed mongrelism, let them be at once unde-
ceivcd. for so sure as God liyeth they will
yet find that party power in the land
that will consign them to their proper
sphere, and save the liberties and govern
meut Of the people Dayton (0.) En-

AWFUL D1sEAsE.-A western
exchange notices the prevalence
of new diseose called the pip.
syuipsy, and thinks it peculiar to
that section. We do not know
that the exact disease has made
its appearance here, bnt the rem
edy is in general use. The dis
ease is ribek as follows: A
sudden PRECISION of the collip-
sis dindix, a caving in of the
spinality Of the backbonibus, q
a feeling of slimness in the medi-
ate vicinity of the diaphragm,
may be regarded as symptoms
that the complaint is coming on.
The following remedy will afford
instant relief: Spirits vini Otard,

bus coolus, q. r.; shakistie vio-

We have heard it said that it is
worth while having the disease
for the sake Of the remedy.

In the Government printing office
at Washington may be seen one ofthe
most wonderful pieces of mechanism
ever devised by man. 1t is Bullock
printing press, which prints in one
hour 10000 sheets of sixty-four pages
of document matter. While doing
this, it feeds itself, the paper being in
rolls, vets the paper, cuts the sheets,
folds them, and by dial attached to
the press, keeps tally of the number OF
sheets printed. OF course it is an
American invention.

WHO DELAYS THE TARIFF BILL'

We have never known the Free Traders more
active than in their opposition to the proposed
Tariff. 1t is a military principle that the
smaller the force the greater should be the
energy, and just in the proportion that Free
Trade loses credit with the people, it increases
its efforts to postpone the consideration OF
the Tariff by Congress. Against the over
whelming proof the statistics OF business for
forty years afford, the Free-Trade argument
cannot stand; and though its organs continue
to send out pamphlets and handbills in which
protection to American industry is held up as
the parent of all evil, they scarcely hope to
reverse the decision of the country. They can
not succeed with the people. They turn to
Congress, not hoping to convince Its lnteill-
gence but only to delay its action. we look
TO the majority in both Houses, who believe In
Protection, to disappoint these schemes
The failure to pass the Tariff bill in the
Senate last year. its dangerous postponement
in the Honse now, are probably results OF free
Trade intrigue which, unable to light the Dill
on general principles, would kill it by continual
amendments. For six months it has been the
policy of Free Trade journals to excite jealous
les and rivalries among our manuiactu-
rers They have sought to set industry
against industry and as there can
he no bill framed that will exactly
suit everybody, they have to some extent sue
cccded. Still, it is the almost unanimous demand
of all branches of American industry that the
Tariff bill shall be passed Nine-tenths OF the
people are opposed to giving up all protection,
merely because One-tenth imagine they
will have too much or too little.
The country demands the passage OF some
Tariff bill by this Congress, and we warn the
House that in attempting to make the bill
better by series of little amendments to
which there seems no end, it may end by
making no bill whatever. The sculptor who,
in the vain wish TO make his statue perfect,
clipped the marble away, is bad example
for our legislators.
Mr.. Conklng, on Saturday, vainly tried to
induce the House to finish with the Tax blll
that it might consider the Tariff to-day. NO
new principle has been introduced by the
amendments of the Committee OF ways ana
Means. and no important discrimination has been
made. Had Congress months to discuss these
details. we should not object but as 1t has but
a few days we caution it that every Free Trader
is laboring to prolong the debate. There are
plenty of gentlemen in the House, who would
gladly discuss till the end of the session the
duty on buttons or brass tllimbles, but we ap-
peal TO the majority which does believe hon
estly in Protection to press the bill to vote,
without waiting another day.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-25

"in this House, We cannot imagine how the
Speaker got his information; and lest the House
should take comfort in its disorder from this
unhappy remark, we beg to inform both the
head and the heels of that body, which are quite
too often TO be seen on the same level, that the
House of Commons is usually quiet and
orderly asscmblage, where every speaker is
easily heard, unless the House is determined
not to hear him, which really occurs but seldom;
and where nothing whatever is permitted to go
on at any time, except the business before the
House. Not document, not a newspaper, not
pens or paper, not anything whatever, is per-
mtted in the hands of any member, excepting
only the printed order of business for the day
Conversation being likewise prohibited, as well
as the peanut and apple trade, it follows that
no public legislative assembly is or can be more
quiet and decorous in their demeanor than the
House Of Commons. AS a matter of sober fact
though it seems pity to despoil the poetry Of
the amiable Speaker, our House of Representa-
tives is den of bowling Devishes beside 1t.

Mr.. DJsRAELrS reform SPEECH

Oir mail adyices from England show that the
interest of the Reform drama is increasing. On
the nth inst, Mr.. Disraeli, in an elaborate
speecb. a portion of which we reprint this
morning. announced the intentions of the Gov
vernmcnt. and described the nature
of the resolutions they intended to in
uoduce on the subject of Reform. The
speech. il appears, has created great dissatis-
faction, and the course of the Government is
generally condemned by the press. Even The
Times pronounccs it unsatisfactory, and some
of the papers hint at the probability of a
Ministerial crisis. or a speedy break up of the
Cabinet from internal dissensiOns.
From Mr. Disraeli's labored speech it is clear
that the teachings of experience have had no
salutary effect upon the Tories. They are
blind to the signs of the times, and seem rs II
they cannot believe that the people are in ear
nest in demanding their rights. Mr.. Disraeh
boldly reterates the old Tory doctrine that
the elective franchise is popular prlvi-
lcge aud not democratic right and
he makes "a ridiculous attempt to prove
that universal suffrage means class domi-
nation. His reference to the United States and
our House of Representatives is most unhappy,
and betrays IN amount of ignorance astonishing
in a statesman of his accomplishments and
reputation. IL is laughable to hear this
great Tory chief telling the Commons of
England that the American House of
REPRESENTATIVES SIS elected by one class"
and to find such a statement received with
cloud cheers" from his followers. Surely he
ought to know that our House is elected by
the whole people, and that it represents every
Al. 10
classes. He ought to know that in the sense
in which he employs the term, in the
sense in which it is understood
by his arstocratic compeers, we have
indeed no class in the United States. With
us the majority rules, and, according to the
popular principles underlying the British Con-
stitution, it ought to do so i'll England likewise.
There however, the Constitution has been per-
yerted TO subserve the interests of the few at the
expense of the many, to put power i'll the hands
of the minority, and enable them to override
the will of the majority. The Reformers are labor
ring to restore the Constitution to its pristine
simplicity and purity, and they are resisted by the
Tories because il is felt by the higher orders"
that success in that work will lead 10 the down
fall of class legislation, and will place the en-
tire people of the country where the COnstitu
tion intended they should stand-on the same
political level. 1t is evident from the
tenor of Mr.. Disraeli's reference Ia
the United States that the Tories are still
haunted by the dread of the Americanizing"
influence in remolding the institutions of the
country. If they were not blinded, they would
see that what in our political system is most
Objectionable to them, is the very foundation
of the Constitution about whose merits and
glories they are SO boastful.

We are almost sorry that the provision in the
Indian Appropriation bill that no money
for the Indian service in Colorado should he dis
bursed by the present agent. Mr. Alex. Cum
mings was stricken from the bill, though there
were obvious and good reasons for doing so. We
are more interested to know that Mr.. Sherman
regards the whole of the patchy and ragged
treaty system AS ruinOus farce Sixty pages of
this appropriation bill are made up of Items
each of them heavy enough, we presume-for
treaties 80 years old and mOldy, made with tribes
which are now dead Mr.. Sherman regards the
system as farce we think it is a swindle, and
most extensive one. But, at all events, there
is a general understanding that the curious sys-
tenn which we support in order to make our In
dian wars as chronic as possible, should be put
an end to speedily.

true peace, we cannot quite forego the hope
that he will sign it. And we will thank any
one who has his ear to remind him OF this
anecdote:
When Mr. Douglas had canvassed Illinois
against Lincoln in 1853, and won his reelec-
ton as L. S. Senator, he came on to Washing
ton, and, like a good Democrat, called on the
head of his party, President Buchanan. After
mutual greetings had passed, the President was
first to broach the all-absorbing topic: " Mr.
Douglas, what can we do with this distract
"ing Kansas-L -Lecompton question y why
"Nr. President responded the Little Giant,
Il can imagine that ue should have some
"trouble with that matter up at the Capitol !;
"but l don't see how you should have any
"For the Constitution says, Congress shall
"make all needful regulations respecting the
Territories : but it says nothing about the
" PRESIDENTS making any"
Surely, when the People have decided a
matter on appeal, and have affirmed the judg-
mcnt of Congress, the President may justly
feel discharged from further responsibility

which underlies the proposition to wait fT the

taking any steps to secure that result, means
indefinite suspension. And the proposition 70
