HERE is what naturally follows a
prohibitory tariff that has killed
American shipbnilding; of course 1t
is from the Tribune:
The bestway to encourage Amer,
can steamship building is to offer and
pay so many dollars per ton for every
first class ocean steamship that may
hereafter be built, mainly of Ameri-
can materials By American workmen
In American ship yards. IF those
who profess deep interest in Amer :
lean commerce and shipping will
unite with US In asking Congress to
favor this policy, we shall hope for its
adoption.
First raise the cost of materials and
labor SO high by prohibitory duties as
to kill our shipbuilding, and thereby
take money from the pockets of the
people and give it to class. Then
dip into tho pockets of the. people
again to pay bounty on shipbuilding,
to restore it to life. And thus the
people are to be ground between two
mill stones. And where will this
most corrupting system Of bounties
or subsidies end? 1t will begin with
corruption and expand in corruption.
There is an honest way, and this alone
will be of any avail The New York
Herald has recently quoted two of
those who were the largest shipbuild-
ers as saying that, with free materials
they can build ships 10 competition
with England. Relieve shipbuilding
from its burdens and it win revive

A TERRIBLE tragedy was enacted in
the Christian Church, in the village of
Bellview, in this county, on Saturday
night last. The version of this hor-
rible affair, as related to US, is about
as follows: Some person or persons
were disturbing the worship of the
congregation by whispering The night
previous during service. aud a young
man by the name Of Tanner was ac-
cused as being the offending party by
a Mr.. Virgins On Saturday night,
after the meeting was dismissed, and
while the congregation was passing
out, Mr.. Virgins came IN close prox-
unity to young Tanner, who was ae
companied by a young lady, some
words ensued between them. when
Tanner drew a knife and fatally stab
bed Mr.. Virgins through the heart.
Mr.. Virgins was about fifty years of
age, and leaves wife and some eight
children to mourn his sudden and
tragic end. Young Tnnear immedi-
ately mounted a horse and effected
his escape. Both parties are respecta-
bly, conneeted.--Oa0eRsbOro Monitor.

The New Albany Commercial says
the House Judiciary Committee has
authorized Mr.. KERR, Congressman
from the Second District, to report
formally on his bill to establish Dis
trict and Circuit Courts at New Al
bany and Evansville The recon-
mendation of the Judiciary Committee
will go far towards securing the pas
sage of the bill through Congress un-
less it meets with opposition from
local interests in other States, who
may think they are as much entitled
to such courts as cities of the size of
Evansville aud New Albany. How
ever, if the friends Of these advan-
tages in the two cities exert them
selves the bill can be pushed through.
1t will be of great Importance. With
the establishment Of a branch of the
United States District and Circuit
Courts at this point, Local Board
of Inspectors, and making the city
port of entry, we are ultimately good
for new Custom House and Post
Office building, to say nothing of the
advantages to be derived from concen-
trating so much business Of the Gov
eminent here which has heretofore
been transacted at other points.

CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 9.-At the last term
of the Supreme Judicial Court for the coun-
ties of Merrimac, Hfllsboro and Belknap,
there were eighty applications for divorce
granted Telegraph.

number of divorces granted in all the
late slave States in the past ten years ?

Tom BOWLING is talked of for
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. His claims will
no doubt be strongly advocated by

State with the old Wabash & Erie

however, DICK BRIGHT would be
equally acceptable to the conspira-

Our readers have not forgotten, we
dare say, one RICHARD TREvALL1cK.

visited our city on two or three occa-

speeches. On one occasion he can

RYAN, Democratic candidate for
Treasurer of State, and an aspirant
for nomination to the same position

degradation of labor, and the at
tempt of the Republican party to put
white laborers on level with negroes
Alas. for the mutability Of human
affairs! TREvALLIeK has made new
departure. He actually attended the
Colored Labor Convention, recently
in session in Washington City, which
he addressed at length. He said
among other things. that only by the
bringing together and recognition o.
all, without regard TO race, color OF
sex. and uniting them in common
effort, could the security of freedom
be maintained, and the progress o.
laboring millions be assured" We

will desire to sustain the claim tina

assertion. But if the Amendment
fails, Mr.. TREyALLIcK will not b,

Q. What is the most terrible op-

ever compelled to submit?
A. The odious Temperance Sunday
Law.
Q. Why are these laws so Cypress
i've?
= A. They empower an inquisitorial,
irresponsible Grand Jury to pry into
private affairs. and prosecute men for
" imaginary offenses."
Q. Who enacted this atrocious
Law?
A. The Democratic Legislature of
1859.
@. At whose instigation is this law
so bitterly and unrelentingly enforced?
"A. The Judge of the Criminal
Court, who is clothed with a little
brief authority"
O. Who desired his appointment to
that position?
