Several of the societies here enumerated are
not strictly local in their sphere of operations,
though they have their headquarters i'll this
city, and derive most of their funds from the
voluntary contributions of our citizens. Some
of the largest sums which figure in the table
were, moreover, obtained chiefly from the
Legislature, and can hardly be cOnsid-
cred charitable dOnatons but, on the
other hand, there are many llberally sup
ported institutions from which we have
no returns whatever. For example, no Roman
Catholic establishments are reported except the
protectory yet it is well known that the Cath
olic body equals any other in the number ana
importance of its denOminatiOnal charities: 1t
has in this city thirty or forty charity schools,
two orphan asylums, extensive organizations
for the relief of the poor tract So
ciety, converts, &c, supported mainly by
voluntary contributions. Moreover, out of
the seven or eight millions annually
given IN the United States for the
maintenance of missionary and benevolent en-
tcrprises whose labOrs are not confined to any
particular city, it is estimated that New York
gives the lions share. The handsome total
which appears in the above table is, therefore,
undoubtedly much below the true measure of
our liberality the charitable gifts of New
York are nearer three millions than one. lp the
prevailing corruption OF official circles and the
frivolous extravagance of private life, such
tables of alms-deeds are particularly crafty
ing. Bad as our city is, there must be great
good in it when so much of our substance is
freely given for the relief of the ignorant and
the needy.

An important literary question is about to be
decided in the English House of Lords. The
case of Low agt. ROutledge, in the matter of
Haunted Hearts"-a book by the late Miss
Maria Cummins of Dorchester, Mass, author
of "The Lamplighter," etc.-has come up there
in, on appeal, for final adjudication. ROutledge
appeals from the decision of the Vice Chancel-
lor and of the Lords Justices, to the highest
Court in the Kingdom, contending-against the
doctrine Of the plaintif-that the residence of
the author in an English colony, at the time
of the first publication of her work in England,
did not vest her with copyright. This question
has been twice decided for the plaintiff, in the
lower courts. 1t has since been argued before
the Lords, and judgment is now awaited. The
importance of the point is self-evident. De-
cisiOn for the plaintiff will establish this doe
trine: that the laws of England are paramount,
in cases of conflict, to the local laws of her
colonies. The local laws of Canada give no
copyright TO Miss Cummins, because of that
writer's former residence in that countryside
being an American author But if the decis-
be affirmed by the House of Lords, then Can
ada must allow copyright. in this and in SINH
lar cases, precisely as in the case of an English
authors work and residence in a British col
ony, at the time of publication in England,
will entitle the American or other foreign
author to copyright on his work throughout
that country and all its colonies.

The town of Samarcand, which has recently
fallen into the hands of the Russians, has long
ceased to be the residence Of great rulers like
Tamerlane, and the celebrated High-SchOOl Of
of the Mohammedan world. In the Middle Ages
it had some 10000 inhabitants, and its fame
reached the remotest countries. Large literary
treasures it is said are still to be found therej
but otherwise its glory has departed. 1t is now
a town of about 10000 inhabitants, belonging to
the Khanate of BOkhara.

The Rev. Mr.. Atwood of Salem made speech
in Boston, before the American and Foreign
Christian Union, few days since, in which, as
o conclusion of the whole matter he declared
that in this country Protestants must fight
to the death if need be, and not cease their
efforts until it is demonstrated that Protest
"antism must rule" AS Mr. Atwood had just
been complaining that the Catholics carry New
York by $4,000 majority, we have a right to
presume that his remark is to be taken in
political sense. No doubt this excellent gen.
tleman has a somewhat vagne idea that we
are in danger at some future day of having a
Pope instead of q President, with College of
Cardinals instead of our present admirable
Congress. While confessng that we do not
share in these apprehensions to the extent of
disturbing our slumbers or our digestion, we
are nevertheless constrained to ask Mr.. At
wood, admitting that his fears are we'll
founded, what he intends to do about it7 We
have no more wish than he has for the setting
up of an 1nquisition at Washington, with
branch burning establishments for the COM
bustiOn of Mr.. Atwood and his friends in the
principal cities. The question is, How are we
to indefinitely postpone this consummation so
devoutly to be deprecated 7 Mr.. Atwood would
undoubtedly say We must print millions of
little tracts against the Pope and scatter them
broadcast over our periled land. To this we
have not the least objection, but we do not
see how the Catholics are to be prevented
from also publishing millions of little tracts in
reply. SO long as the contest remains speech
against speech, or sermon against sermon, or
tract against tract, we have not one word to
say but the moment the poemics of either
party begin to talk about "ruling," we shall
fall back upon the Constitution, and beg SEN

,SOVND DOCTRINE.
The Erening Post thus quotes and CONNIE

The Erening Post thus quotes and comments
upon some of our recent romarks
"The policy Of England Is as thoroughly protective To-
not raise enough on that small island 20 supply her
people as she was hundred years ago in levying
tar when her agricultural population WeieIuy
able TO supply her operatives with fOud.'
SO saws THE TRIBUNE Of this moning.- Then It means
hy protection exactly what mean by free trade, ana
the whole dispute between is In word Let us apply
its own argument to another "The policF OF the
United States will be as thoroughly protective when she
admits iron free her furnaces cannot pro-
duCe enough 60 supply the people, as, etc 80 Win
cotton and wooden fabrics with coal and copper II
is sound doctrine Evening Post
Our natural resources for producing iron are
not furnaces but mines. Furnaces are invested
capital and labor. The doctrine of protection
is not that we shall protect those branches OF
industry whose invested capital and labor are
able already TO produce the article cheaper
than il can be imported, for such articles have
passed beyond the need OF protection. But we
should protect those branches which we have
all the natural resources TO produce, but
which our invested capital and labor are as yet
inadequate to produce in so large quantities
or at so low prices as would supply our people
in open competition with foreign producers
The longer the Corn laws endured, and the
increased, the greater became the impossible
ity of her farmers supplying her operatives
with food. The capacity of agricultural land
to produce food is very easily brought to its
! limits The capacity of ineXhaustible mines of
coal and iron TO produce manufactures of every
kind is practically unlimited. So long as Eng
lish farmers, by fully developing their skill aud
labor and the fertility Of their lands could pro-
duce supply of food fully adequate to the
wants of the manufacturing classes, the Corn
laws doubtless had the beneficial effect of
stimulating agricultural production up to its
maximum. This attained. the further attempt
to keep British operatives dependent for food
on British farmers was manifestly absurd.
Free trade in food was demanded by British
manufacturers for their better protection, i. O.,
to enable them TO compete with French manu-
factureTs, whose supply Of cheap food and
cheap labor was unlimited. Have we, then,
the natural resources, viz, the mines, adequate
to produce all the iron our people wantl or are
we limited in our mines as British farmers were
in the quantity of their landY Obviously, our
mines are capable of supplying the whole
world for thousands Of years, and perhaps for
centuries. The number Of furnaces we shall
have depends on the degree of protection we
give. If we protect them as faithfully as
France and England did, the capacity of our
furnaces will soon far exceed the wants of our
people, and bear some proportion to the capa-
city Of our mines. If we withdraw all protec-
tion, we shall soon have fewer furnaces, and
in time fewer still, and perhaps none at all.

Col Morris Of Illinois, prominent Democrat
in Douglas and Anti-LeCompton days, prints
the following letter written to him by Gen.
Grant when that officer was in command of
one OF the great armies of the West.
1t only gives another evidence of the
rare unselfshness, the patriotism the single
minded devotion to duty which animates Gen.
Grant, and which have done so much to endear
him TO the American people The
more thoroughly we study the record
of our candidate the more clearly
we see that the Office seeks the man-nOt the
