With vagueness that recalls wildly the sound
ing promises that were made in tile easly days
OF Tho war, and not unlike those wo used to
hear from the Army Of the Potomac, "All quiet"
&c, "army fast inproving," Il anuouuces that
"ygorous measures have been decided upon"
and that "large re-enforccmcnts arc going for
ward 10 tho army from all parts Of the South Of
France" To what army these forces are ad-
vancing there is no word vouchsafed. "Several
French victories" the dispatch continues, "arc
announced" Who has gained them, when they
were gtined, the government keeps TO itself.
The further information is giveu-and how un-
important the news Is that THEIRS is at Dor
arx, and GANBETTA is with the army. Poor
France! Learning nothing from her most bit
ter experience, deluded still by brave words
broyed up by fair promises, decciyed by her
rulers, she enters on what will probably be the
last stage Of war, under the auspices OF leaders
who no more dare tell her the whole truth than
did those in authority under NAPOLEON.

An attempt has been made in the U. s. Sen.
ate by McCREERY, Of Keniuekey, to disaunul the
oonGscatug the property belonging to the de-
ceased Commander-in-C Chief, of the late rebel
army, Gen. II. Il. LEE. The following remarks

Senator McCrery, Of Kentucky, has stepped
forth from the obscurity which he has been so
gracefully filing to propose n series Of resou-
tdns looking to the removal of the Union dead
from the National Cemetery at Arlington and
the restoration of the estate t. the widow OF Gen.
Ice. The duty seems to have been both self
suggested and selfimposed undertaken, it is
hinted, in the expectation of endeariug himself
to his Kentucky constituents. In the refusal OF
the S nate to entertain them, the Senate has only
given expression to the all but unanimous voice
of the North. The discussion that Is so fully
reported in our dispatches this morning shows
that moro was intended than a rebuke to dema-
gOuge. II was a distinct affirmation by the
highest legislative body Of the land, anticipating
the verdict of history, that To Robert e. Lee no
other place can be as igned than that Of q trait
or that TO the soldiers who fought under the
Confederate flag the nation may offer iorgiy-
ness, but ii never can offer honor.

HOW Protection AFacts Fan River


The following suggestive letter appears in the
Providence Journal:
Ia ae Elitor o'he Providence Daily Journal:
was much pleased with the article in your
paper o. yesterdays date signed Zone Who
Has Built Machinery" drawing attention to the
manner in which our present tariff discrimlnates
against labor In the building Of machinery.
II is we'll known that during the last six years
machinery to the yalae of several m lions OF
dollars has been imported from England for
nanHfac acturers in this city, Fan River and else
where, which machinery might have been built
by American machinsts.
few days since the writer was assured by a
gentleman of Fall River that II was in cOntem-
aon to,build three or four mills, all tie machin-
rrYGor which would be imported
Now, il requires no argument to convince any
candid pers0njhat a tariff which taxes the rae
material double what ii does the article manu-
iactnred from Il, is wrong: and it seems very
singular that all the machinists in the country
have not long before this united in protesting
against the injustice thus done to them, and
which, il continued, threatens TO close All the'r
shops. The remedy is plain either increase
the duty on machinery to one hundred PEI cent.
ad yalorem, or what would be much better, re-
dee the duty on pig. bar and other iron andIsteel.
Articles like these, Of universal and ndispensa-
ble use should be subject to only moderate
duty twenty-five per cent. ad valOrem in addl-
tion to the cost of freight insurance, importers,
profit, etc., ought certainly to be proteot'oD
enough to the American iron masters. Unless
the duty is largely reduced ON iron and steel,
it is idle To hope that our American mechanics
can compete with those Of England in building
machinery. vessels, etc. requiring a large
amount Of these articles. Yours, respectfully,
FAIR PLAY.
