TOO MANY BUREAUS.

Pront the ST. Louis Democrat.
II seems that Secretary Boutwell, is opposed
to making st. Louis port of entry, and has
written a letter to the Senate Committee on
Commerce recommending, instead, that
bureau be established in the New York Gus
tom House especially for collecting the duties
ON and forwarding Western goods. bureau
forsooth as if we had not far too many bu-
reaus already. One of our greatest present
evils is that we are governed too much. Why
cannot Congress give the people of st. Louis
and the Mississippi Valley the privilege of
regulating their own trade and governing
themselves little? Are we to be kept in
leading strings to New York bureaucrats like
helpless incompetents who do not know what
they want! Thetrouble with Secretary Bout
, well is that his travels having been mainly
confined to the route between Groton,
Massachusetts, and Washington City, he fails
to realize the extent of this country or the
temper or wants of the Western people. We
don't want bureau or any trumpery trash OF

THE TEARING TRAGEDIAN.

From the Cincinnati Gazeth.
Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, performed
his great tearing act in the House the other
day, in the course of the tariff debate He
held up piece of heavy coating cloth, which
he said was imported from England, in order
to show what stuffs she would sell to our
people unless they were prohibited to buy
His dramatic voice and manner are well
known. He crates the best worn platitudes
and the shallowest fallaciss in Forrestian
tones. He took tragic attitude, like Kirby
when he wraps the American flag about him
in his great dying act He held up the Bri-
tish cloth before him, and gesticulated at it,
as macbeth" to the airdrawn dagger. In re-
tund tones he called attention to its thickness
and seeming strength. Rising with rhetorical
fervor, he opprobriously denounced it as a
combination of shoddy and cows hair. Tear
ing tragic passion to tatters, he suited the
action to the word and tore the fabric in
twain; and, with veins swelled and utterances
thick with dramatic rage, he exclaimed: 'It
is rotten-rotten as it was when the material
was carried from the lazar houses of Smyrna
to the shoddy fields of London to be manu-
featured" And then turning the tempest,
the whirlwind Of his theatrical passion upon
Mr.. Cox, he exclaimed, with indicative finger:
'"The gentleman from New York asks us to
give facilities for the admission of such fa-
brics."
But there was method in all this dramatic
medness. Anybody could tear Mr.. Kelley's
shirt, or his trowsers, or coat in the saino
way. Rhetorically he is always tearing his
shirt. This cloth costs, Mr., Brooks said,
about ~ cents yard in gold, and weighs
2 1-5 pounds yard. The proposed duty is
so cents pound and 35 per cent. ad oGIorem,
making $1'36 yard, equal to 100 per
cent. This is meant to be prohibitory. And
what then? The American manufacturer will
have the whole field for his shoddy and other
coarse wool and hair fabrics, at his own
price. And there is no manufacturer handler
with shoddy than the American. BY this
duty, which with its commissions and the
premium ON gold will reach So and Upward,
he will be enabled to charge $3 for worse
article. Why should any American manu-
facturer desire to improve his fabrics, or to
make good article, or to invest any capital
in improving his machinery, when by means
of legislation he can practise this robbery
1t is this system that draws the energies of
the favored manufacturers away from their
business to the Congressional lobby.

THE DISGRACE OF INDIANA-sTHE DI
VORCE LAW
From the NY. Times.

FT0Rt the ". II. Times.
The trial of Mcfarland will have one good
effect, if no other, in arousing public atten-
ton to the disgraceful nature of our State
legislation with regard to divorce, and espe-
cially of the Indiana divorce laws The
State of Indiana occupies now, in the mat
ter of popular wealth, internal improvements,
and the intelligence and refinement of large
bodies of its citizens, front rank among
the States of the Central West. Yet, in an
evil day, she has admitted into her code a
law which has made the fair name of the
State by-word of disgrace, and which
tendon.

having taken up temporary abode in that
State and presented a claim for divorce on
the most trivial grounds, can, if the Judge 50

Flres In the Woods.


The st. Croix Courier says during the past
three weeks fires have been raging in the woods
on the outskirts of st. Stephen, and good
deal of property has been destroyed. Indeed
fires have been raging all over the country,
and in many cases it is to be feared they have
been set by idle or inconsiderate parties. The
mill belonging to Mr.. Richard Dyer, situated
on Black Brook, was burned to the ground on
Monday night. The house of Mr.. John Flynn,
near the Linton Mills, St. Patrick, was burn
ed down on the same night, and his furniture,
stock and provisions completely destroyed,
the family barely escaping with their lives.
The Kent Mill, on the Linton Mill stream and
the Cook house were also consumed, together
with the Maxwell MILL situated on the same
stream. After this the fire spread to the St.
John road and burned the McAuley Mill, stu
ated about two miles on this side of st. George.
Large quantities of fencing have also been
DESTROYED The same fire surrounded Messrs.
Jas. =. Crangle and Henry Hutton while fish
ing on the Didgeguash stream, and they only
escaped by prostrating themselves on the logs
their canoe by sinking it. truck wagon be-
longing to Mr.. Gould, while passing from the
dam to the foot of Grand Lake stream, was
caught in the fire on Monday evening. The
driver was obliged to disengage the horses and
leave the wagon and some baggage belonging
to Mr.. Adams, of Boston, behind. One
wheel of the vehicle was destroyed and
trunk partly consumed. The horse and driver,
while escaping without serious injury, were
considerably signed. On the Woodstock road,
Mr.. William Pnkertons house, barn and all
the contents were destroyed on Monday even
ing, the family with much difficulty making
sheir escape. Mr.. Stewart GibsoR's barn was
co lsumed on the same evening. We hear
ALTO of the destruction of widow Cooks prop
erty, above Lawrence Station, and that of MIR.
Daniel Cook, and the house and barn of
Mrs. Whey, at Dumbarton.

The annual meeting of the stockholders Of

met here to-day. and adjourned one week
without transacting business.
Citizens nj Letting.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of citizens
in favor of loaning the credit of the city to
an amount not exceeding one hundred and
| twenty five thousand dollars, to complete the
Piscataquis Railroad, was held at City Hall
tonight The meeting was addressed by
several leading citizens, and large commit
tee appointed to attend the polls tomorrow,
when the question is to be voted upon, and
get out the fullest vote possible in favor of
the measure. A heavy vote will probably be
thrown, as the opposition has been actively
at work for some time, and is thoroughly or
ganized.
The new daily paper announced to appear
to-day has come to grief. The manufacturers
and owners of the press, which had just been
set up in the Office to-day, boxed it up and
sent it home, finding as they state that it had
been obtained through representations that
proved to be false and fraudulent, and that
the concern was entirely without foundation.
Mr.. c. E. Lord the man who has been engi-
neering the affair, was to-day arrested and
lodged in Jail. se
