CONCERNING FRENCH INTERVENTION.
From n Journal des Debats, Sept .

We have been very much surprised to see
large number of English papers Fastening to pro-
test beforehand against any species OF interview
ton in Spanish affairs. France Is the only power
that could possibly interfere. Now, France has
too loudly proclaimed the principles of nationsii-
ties to think of preventing the Spanisrds from
choosing such form Of government as may please
them, or from intrustng to whom they please the
difficult task of governing them We once did for
had no reason to congratulate ourselves up, n
having done 30. Nobody in France, we are fu ~
persuaded, will conceive the unlucky idea OF seno-
ing to spain the soldiers that have only just re-
turned from Mexico.

Under the above heading the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times gives
an amusing account of the several unsucess-
full attempts of Johnny Logan to speak his
piece, in the senate, on impeachment; and
says: zeaa
This snubbing of the grand commander
of the g. A. r. begins TO assume the shape
of cruelty to animals. Just look at the facts
in the case: Logan gets up this speech at
great expense, and at the loss of seversl pok-
er.parties which he has been IN the habit of
holding with Schenk and others at Wizards
hotel, and at which he has doubtless made
his "pie" during the winter. AT any rate,
Schenck complains of having suffered to a
greater extent than is at all agreeable. Lo-
gan engaged the services of two amuenses,
who are more than ordinary good speech,
makers. He must have paid well for the
use of their brains and their pens. And, f.
nally, he went to the expense of having the
whole thing printed in the best style of the
art. Yesterday he rose in the court and
modestly asked permission TO "hle his brief
But leave was once more most cruelty refus
ed. So that the speech las is the case in
many instances of kittens or puppies which
nave Uccu pfoukut iuto shto "fShOo Woftu
was mercilessly drowned before its eyes were
even opened. The only thing see now left
for Logan is for him to take each individual
senator by the button-hole, beginning al
Dick Yates, and recite that speech to hin
until all have been compelled to listen to it
In this manner, if he failed to get his speech
before the country, he would at least have
the satisfaction of being revenged upon
the senate. When Logan asked leav,
to "file his brief" yesterday, | noticed that
Mr.. Evarts' lip very perceptibly curled, Will,
Mr.. Curtis mild blue eye flashed pity upor
the unfortunate young man.
''There is probably one more chance fol-
Logan to get that speech in. His friend.

Judge Nelson Of Tennessee, to speak, if tn,

to have Judge Nelson speak, as he is one o

WIN NOT R1DUcT mn rARIfri

There is no principle to which the democ-
racy of this country stands more distinctly
pledged than to low taiffs on articles of gen.
eral necessity. As near an approximation
to free trade as the financial necessities of
the government viii allow, has been one of
the articles of faith in the democratic creed,
the wisdom Of which has been approved by
time and experience. It is to-day one of
the most important questions before the
American people. The recent important
act of congress exempting from the opera
tons of the internal revenue law certain
manufacturing interests, mainly located in
New England, has the speeious appearance
of reducing to the people the prices of the
fabrics enumerated il that law, but its oper.
alton will simply be to transfer the sum Of
$60,000,0 900 thus taken of, according TO
Secretary McCulloch's estimate, to the peck
cts of the manufacturer from the govern
ment treasury. Without corresponding
reduction of the import duty on these same
articles, these manufacturers have the ques
ton of prices in their own hands until theiI
figures shall reach scale equal to the for
eign value of the goods with the tariff add
ed. Of course no one is so silly, or is so ig'
norant of the laws of trade, as to believe thai
| they will reduce their prices one farthing be-
low the point which will enable them to sup
ply our market to the exclusion of the for
eign article. The advantage to the consum-
| er viii, therefore, be just nothing without
| reduction of the tariff On the contrary
| the national treasury viii suffer, according
to the estimates of Secretary McCulloch, te
the amount of 100000, 900 in loss of reve
nue. from this legislation, which must be
| made up on the already overburdened con
sumers of the country at large. This is rad
ical legislation. This is the way the resour
ces of the country, and especially the agri
cultural energies of the west, are used an
exhausted to force labor into enterprise
where it would never naturally 60, and tt
maintain New England supremacy. Their
is no relief from or abatement of these evil
except through the triumph of the democrat
ic party. 1t is the only party which hold
out hope to the west.

Initiating Candidate int the Good Temp
lars,


From the Syracuse Courier and Union.
The method of initiating q candidate into
a Lodge of Good Templars is but a slight
improvement upon the same programme so
long in vogue by the ancient and honorable
fraternity of the "Sons of Malta" A "chap''
was taken from lager beer saloon, where
he got slight" without knowing that lager
would intoxicate, and was put through cold
water treatment by the Good Templars a
few evenings since. He peaches" on the
Templars and gives the following expose OF
their initiation ceremony, for which, NO
doubt, he will be put through another course
OF cold water Sprouts" at the next meeting
of the lodge.
In the first place the victim for initiation
is blindfolded, bound hand and foot and
thrown into q cider press, and pressed for
five minutes. This is done for the purpose
of clearing his system of "old drunksn He
is then taken out of the cider press and BY
means of q force pump gorged with cistern
water, after which a sealing plaster is placed
over his mouth and he is rolled in barrel
four or FIVE times across the room thechoiI
at the same time singing the Geld water
song. He is now taken out of the barrel
and hung.up by the heels till the water runs
through his ears. He is then cut down and
beautiful young lady hands him glass Of
cistern water. A cold water bath is then
furnished him, after which he is showered
| with cistern water. He is then made to read
| the Water Works act ten times, drinking q
| glass of cistern water between each reading
| After which the old oaken bucket is hung
| around his neck, and fifteen sisters, with
| squirt7guns, deluge him with cistern water
ne Is then forced to eat peck of snow,
| while the brothers stick his ears fun of lei
clss. he is then run through a clothes
| wringer, after which he is handed glass OF
cistern water BY a young lady. He Is again
gorged with eastern water, and his boots
| filled with the same, and he il laid away IN
a refrigerator. The initiation is now almos,
concluded. After remaining in the refrirer.
ator for the space of half an hour, he ia
again taken out and given glass of cistern
water, run through clothes wringer, and
becomes Good Templar.
