TIE Chicago Tribune, the leading Radl-
cal organ of the Northwest, in long re-
view of Morton's last ''great speech, says:
Senator Morton viii meet with very few
of the subsidized class on his stump
inc tour in Indiana. They may be
noisy, but are not numerous-menac-
ing, but not dangerous. If he I'M
dertaken to shape his campaign to placate
this class Of bounty-esters, he will most
surely turn his State over to the Democrats.
The remnants Of high-tariff whiggery in
the Republican party cannot come within
tens of thousands ofcsrrying Indiana on their
selfish, plundering platform. If the Repub-
hcan leaders advocate a revenue reform
tariff they can save their close and doubtful
State; but, if they give aid and countenance
to the existing system Of oppressive and
grinding tariff bounties to special interests,
they will be 'scooped out next October,
from Michigan City to the Pocket, and
richly deserve to be. Senator Morton
must abandon his role of MIR. Facing Both
ways, and stick by the doctrine of reve-
nue. tariff, to be high on Injuries and low
on necessities, such as coal, salt, lrmber,
iron, steel, leather, clothing, machinery,
implements and ships"

Rulings of the ChIef Justice.

RALEIGH, N. O., July 3O.-Geo. William
son, a citizen of Caswen county, went to
serve writs of habeas corpus issued by
the Chief Justice in behalf of Hon. John
Kerr and other citizens of Caswell, who
were arrested by Col. Kinks militia. Kirk
ordered him to leave or he would have him
fred on. williamson made a return in
accordance with the facts.
The Chief Justice has decided the writs
not properly served, first, because vii
hanson was not appointed by the Chief
Justice to make such service. Second,
being a citizen of Caswel he was an in
surgent there and could not serve the writ.
The Chief Justice reafirmed the opinion
that the babeas corpus act was not sus-
pended, and ordered the Marshal of the
Supreme Court to go to Caswen county
and serve the writs.

The Gloucester AdUertis6r turns the
laugh on those who have been enjoying
the story of the fish-wifes salmon that took
in ballast, by solemnly asseverating that
fish do take in ballast, and says: 1.-THE
ston es are placed there Intentionally by the
fish itself, not by the seller; and in most
fish will be found more or less gravel and
large stones. Our Georges fisherman al
ways finds them in cod and halibut in the
spring, and it is q common expression to
say fish is well ballasted to leave the
bank. II is supposed they swallow the
stones for the purpose of aiding digestion. "

Gen. butler i'm Trouble.

Horatio Ames, the inventor of the Ames
gun. has filed bill in the Equity Court
of this city, severely duplicating BENZ amin
F. Butler in fee while a member in Con-
gress and on committee investigating the
contract of said Ames and the course of
the chiefs of the army and naval ordinances
regarding the same. The bill recites that
in consequence of unjust acts towards him
and others, Congress, on March 80, 1867,
ordered through investigation into all the
transactions of said chiefs, by reason of
which, before Jan. 20, 1870, there had been
presented to and was then pending before
the Military Committee of the Senate q
charge of conspiracy against Gen. Dyer and
other official persons, charging them with o
conspiracy 10 conceal and cover up all the
personal offenses and official acts of NAL
administration with which said Dyer had
been accused by the Joint Committee on
Ordnance of the Fortieth Congress. And
that as a member of the Ordnance Com
mittee B. F. Butler had become familiar
with the circumstances and facts in con-
nection with the business OF Gen. Ames,
and shortly after the charge of conspiracy
had been submitted to Congress, January
10, last, respondent called at Gen. Buffers
Office for the purpose Of consulting him,
and was there and then informed by Whit
new. the clerk Of Gen. Butler, of desire
and disposition on the part of Dyer to
make an amicable arrangement through
Butler with all persons making charges or
complaints against him, and that for the
sum of s.. 600 he (Butler) would undertake
to secure the withdrawal of all opposition
by the said Dyer to the payment of the
claim of the respondent (Ames) under his
contract and he would procure through
DYER the receipt of experimental test and
sale of the three additional cannon, steel
bores. provided that respondent (Ames)
would cause to be withdrawn from
Congress the charge of conspiracy. He
further states that, being much embar-
raised by the non-payment Of his claim,
and to terminate the unjust resistance to
the legitimate prosecution of his business,
he sicnifed his willingness to accept such
a proposal. and Whitney made the memo
randa set out in the original bill, inserting
his own name and requiring payment of
$3.50 as earnest money, promising that if
the arrangement was not carried out and
accomplished in every particular to return
it. He charges that, although D. B. Whit
new appears to be the contracting party,
yet the real party is B. F. Butler, and that

THE TONNAGE TAx.-Capt. C. II.
Barrett, of Camden, writes on board
his ship Windard at Shanghae, to the
New York Journal of Commerce as fol-
lows, concerning the reports which had
reached him III China in the middle OF
January:
The measures proposed BY the com
mittec who have been investigating the
matter viz: to relieve all ship materials
from duty, and allowing our people TO
buy ships from abroad aud come under
the full benefits of the flag. free of duty,
will do much to help us gain our lost
ground upon the sea: but there are 9th
cr things that ought 10 be done, which
also will help along.-There is tom
mage duty. yes a tonnage duty levied on
our own Ships. and that during the war,
when they were doing con paratively
nothing, and seeking refuge in every
dark corner of the globe, from priva-
tcers. from whom the nation was pow
eiless to protect tn, IN. | don't know
whether 10 call this madness or folly: il
looks very much like the spite that kicks
"A man when he is down; certainly il
was grossly inconsistent measure.
This tonnage duty should be abolished
n hastily as it WAS levied. | hear. too,
that there i a law compelling ships 10
pay duty on repairs made abroad. Ii
this is 50. il looks like an effort made to
expafriate the ships. and certainly ils
natural tendency is 10 keep them from
home ports altagcther.-This is like tax
ing the soldiers Tor their wooden legs.

The New Crime.

The PORTLAND ADVERTISER SAYS,
Governor Chamberlain has signed the
new liquor law Yielding TO the apparent
unaniInity of the legislature. He does
not think itclearly for the best to give
50 much power into a few hands, but
most especially questions the propriety
of the section which creates "A new crime
on the part oftown officers who neglect
to prosecute.
The PORTLAND ARGUS in reviewing
the report oi the Valuation Comns>-
toner's thus speaks of progress in Maine:
The increase in valuation of estates
amounts to 35 per cent. for the decade.
In the decade from 1850 to 1860 the in
crease is put down at nearly filtv-tive
per cent.
The increase in polls is little short of
II per cent. giving assurance under the
circumstances, that the ratio of increase
of population is somewhat above that.
For the decade preceding, lie, from 1850
to 1850, the population of Maine increas-
ed during the past ten years more rapid
~ than during that proceeding, the val
ne OF estates has not increased so muci,
by nearly 20 per cent, Notwithstanding
the present valuation is in currency.
