THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There mover was time in the history Of on
country when'a greater necessity existed for cir
cuIating pure Democratic documents. Radica
legislation has made a grave yard and desert Of
half of our country; our liberties have been in.
irlnged upon to an alarming extent; overwhelm-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load Of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the SCOT and by-word orforeign nations; dispis
ed at home and derided abroad, it is oyerhang
| ing the very brink of destruction the departure
Of our people from the glorious precepts Of the
past has led them into labyrinth Of anarchy
from which many SEQ no escape bat in military
despotsm. The New York Imperialis,, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire:
Its efforts receive the countenance of high gov
eminent officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs ofthe East; we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship of State There is no
nope Tor the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their Liberties arc placed.
There is but one way to redeem the country from
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg-
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
Of the fathers Of the Republic, drive
from places Of trust the spoilers fattening upon |
the life blood Of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be
change in the government within the next four
years The people must choose between Democ-
facy and Imperialism The struggle has already
The Democratic party will be
ound, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people
circulate the documents.
With this object in view we have determined

heproject of laying telegraph wire
to China by way of Siberia and Russia
makes progress The scheme is feasible,
because line already crosses the great
er part of the Russian empire, and it re-
mains only to connect the extreme east
of Siberia with China by sea. 1t is said
that the Russian government has granted
to certain parties in London the conces.
sion Of the right of laying submarine
cable, with a monopoly for forty years,
from the mouth of the river Amoor, in
eastern Siberia. The cable is to run to
Japan, and thence to Shanghai, the gov
ernment undertaking to complete as far
as the mouth of the river, the land line of
the telegraph wire, which already cross>
es the greater part of Siberia up to a
point within eco miles of the coast. When
this undertaking is complete, and better
communication established with India,
there will remain only one very great
telegraph enterprise to be accomplished
"a cable from England to Australia.

RUTLER ON GKANT.

Ben. Butler is "tired of calling drunk,

Gen. Grant was in Boston, to attend the
jubilee, it was announced that he would
review the military on the common, un-
der the command of Ben Butler, at q
certain hour They waited four hours
for him, but he came not The Bangor
Democrat says:
Butler was there, surrounded by
such notable officers as Howard, Cham
berlain, etc, sweating and swearing in
his saddle, and rolling that baleful eye
with the venom of an anaconda; while
Grant was at the St James, munching
sardines, putting Havanas, and sucking
Heidsick through porcelain quill The
affair was either deliberate insult, and
so intended by Grant, or else his delib-

THE SUNDAY LAW QUARREL IN
PITTSRURG

Pittsburg has been very much excited
for many weeks over a new and very
stringent Sunday law The Germans
are particularly enraged at what they
call its unjust restrictions, and war is
raging between the Teutonic population
and the ministers, with their supporting
parishioners A committee Of taverns
keepers and brewers has been formed for
the purpose of enforcing the entire law
as rigidly against all who break it as it is
enforced against themselves. This, it
seems, will enable them to stop the glass
works, printing offices, street cars, and
even carriage owners and drivers attend
ing funerals on Sunday. They threaten
to sue the Mayor for misdemeanor in
Office if he shall in any way interfere
with the committee, or fail to give them
his official support All the suits will
be brought before him, and if he doesn't
treat them according to law, he will be
prosecuted. The committee has decided
to delay their enforcement two weeks on
account Of the coming Fourth. The
newspaper proprietors have determined
to 90 on and meet the law and its penal-
ties. Last Sunday Omnibuses, passen-
ger cars, etooeGEere running as usual.
The religious bHIies are moving in the
matter, and warm times are anticipated.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
GA, COTTON FACTORY.

The following interesting statement of
the operations of the Augusta, Ga, cot-
ton factory, we find in the Chronicle, Of
the Both ult. 1t is extracted from the
annual report of the President of n the
company, and from it we learn that the
total earnings for the year have been
Sl69,763 IS; the expenses have been
$49,046 SO; the net earnings have been
$l20,7l7 34 the quarterly dividends of
five per cent have amounted to $4,000;
the balance of profit over dividends is
$7l7 SO; which, carried to the credit of
profit and loss, make the accrued undi-
vided profits amount to $225 SIS GO, on
a capital of six hundred thousand dol
lars
The capital invested in this factory
amounts to six hundred thousand dollars,
and the stockholders have received
quarterly dividends amounting in the ag-
gregate to twenty per cent, on the capi-
tai invested.
This, taking into consideration the
high price of the raw material and the
low price of manufactured goods, during
the past year is highly gratifying ex-
hibit and should be an incentive for the
establishment of manufacturing enter
prises in other parts of the country.
We venture to say that this Augusta
factory has done better during the past
year than l9-20ths of those in the North
ern States. F
The report concludes with the follow
ing statement of the cotton consumed,
ETC.:
Cotton consumed (equal to 6, 1862 bales)

Pudding on the Irish Church Bill.
LONDON, July The Daily News ssys
the Irish Church bill will leave the House
of Lords with e very different character
from which it entered, and much less ae-
ceptable to the country. 1t will be quite
impossible for the House of Commons TO
accept the amendments made by the Peers,
and il will be their duty TO restore the bill
in its originality. They have done their
best to spoil its measures, and prudently
abstained from rejecting it, and Commons
must transform the deformed.
The London Times, commenting on last
nights debate, says by their last act the
House of Lords have completed the trans
formation of the ministerial Rcheme. They
have refused BY majority Of seven to ap-
prove the clause appropriating the
surplus funds of the church, and have
preferred to reserve the question for future
consideration. The meaning of this vote
is not obscure. The Duke of Argyle
condemns it by an attempt to reserve the
vote by which the Duke of Cleveland's
amendments proposing concurrent en-
dowment was rejected, and although
we agree with the Marquis of
Salisbury, that Lord Cairns can scarcely
have provisions for the Catholic priests at
heart. We must acknowledge The justice
of the Duke of Argyle's general conclusion,
that the vote unquestionably reverses in
spirit, if not in form, the decision against
the Duke of Cleveland's scheme. The
Times believes the country ia ready
and willing to support the grant
for ecclesiastical residences to the
Catholics and Presbyterians OF the oppor-
tunity 10 make il is rejected. 1t will be
because the governing powers being una
bic above the catch words of party dare
not look openly and courageonsly at the
truth.
