SECRETARY BOUTWELL, has expressed his
intention of retaining experienced lghtkeepers
in the lighthouses in future instead Of remov-
ing them on frivolous pretences at the instance
of collectors Of customs, as seems to have
been habit heretofore in order to make room
for favoritcs. The idea that such positions of
trust and experience, by no means lucrative,
and requiring the endurance Of great hard
ships, usually, should be made political foot
balls, is especially repugnant to all notions Of
q sound system Of government

Lucius Robinson accepts the democratic nomi-
nation for Congress from The New York Twenty
fourth district. John e. Seeley is the republic
can nominee. The republican candidate in
ninety-one majority. There is not much hope,
therefore, for the democracy in this district.
Mr.. Robinson, however, is highly commended
by many republicans, particularly those of the
free trade, metallic currency stamp.

INTERIOR REPUBLICANS RAsPING THEIR
METROPOLITAN FRIENDS. The Albany Jour
nal, republican organ, says the proceedings
of The Republican General Committee OF the
city of New York last Saturday night
revealed state Of facts anything but COM
plimentary to the integrity of majority of
that body" Can't the interior republicans
speak one good, kind word for their me-
tropoltan republican friends? AT present
they all seem split up like 50 much yellow pine
kindnng wood.

The War situation-The Threatened Bonn
bardment Of Paris and the Move ON
Tours.
Paris remains as it was. No bombardment
has commenced yet, and French accounts
state that the fire from the French forts is so
sweeping and iacessant that the siege guns
cannot be brought near enough to reach the
city. The heights Of Msudon and ST. Cloud,
however, are undoubtedly in possession of the
Prussians aud they look down, as II were,
upon the city ITSELF Bellevue is said to be
mounted with battery Of siege guns, aud
several shots have already been thrown
into the streets of the capital. The
conclusion seems to be inevitable that
Paris can be bombarded, and it may be
that the well-iounded apprehensons OF Bis
marck as to the verdict of history are alone
staying the vandal blow. A persistent and
steady rain Of iron on the devoted city, how
ever, cannot be kept up 80 long as the guns
OF the French forts are effectively worked. A
concentrated fire on the siege batteries from
the guns of Fort Mont Valerien, if ii does not
deInolish the batteries, will at least discomfort
the Prussian artillerymen to such q degree
that tho fire must be very irregular. The
best move to prevent the lombard
ment. however, Is sortie in force
With the large number OF men that
General Trochu has inside the walls his
failure to make desperate attack en- nsasse
on the besiegers is verging almost on crimi-
nalty. We have had dispatches again and
again announcing such sortie, and we have
another to-day, but they have been 50 readily
denied, and have evidently been SO barren of
results, that we cannot give them full credit.
A grand sortie, not all around the line, but in
force at some one point, would tell its own
story beyond the power of false bulletins to
discredit Therein lies the most promising
hope Of Paris.
The movement southwark continues. Large
forces OF both armies are concentrating near
Orleans, and another great battle seems to be
imminent. So far the French have contested
this southward movement with great courage
and endurance. II is questionable, however,
Wnetner goOd generaisntp on tnelr part, instead
of presenting strong front to their enemy as
he moves forward, would not rather take him
ia the rear, when he had moved some distance
from his base at Paris, and attempt to crush
him between two armies. The move is evil
IDENTIFY upon Tours The particulars Of the
battle Of Bagneux record the same intrepid
daring on the part of the French,
the same desperate heroism displayed at
Soissons-a heroism and desperation that sug-
gest the probable renewal Of the deeds of the
national wars on the peninsula-deeds that
make the blood sometimes run cold with
horror and again thrill with enthusiasm, but
deeds that were consecrated by the purest
love Of country and cnnobied by the most I'M
selfish sacrifices.

ANOTHER FALL IN GoLp.--Despite the
speculative opposition to the downward
movement in gold the price of the pre-
cious metal underwent further decline yes
terday, touching at its lowest 1l2i. This
movement was all the more unexpected for the
reason that the cause which produced it--viz.,
the prospect of peace in Europe-had begun to
be regarded as cause for an advance on the
hypothesis that a cessation of hostilities would
produce such an activity 10 the foreign money
market as would call home the capital which
found its way here during the war. The in
ference of course is now that peace or war
cannot change the natural drift of the pre-
MUM, which is but one way with the steady
reduction Of the national debt and the in
creased prosperity of the country.

WENDELL PHILLIPS is conducting his politi-
cal campaign in Massachusetts with great
vigor. In speech at Music Hall last even
ing he arraigned both the democratic and
republican parties for having no living idea to
propose. Therein he strikes both parties, with
their continual harping upon dead issues, a
square blow. They must act in the living pre-
sent; let the dead past bury its dead. Massa-
chusetts has never before had such stirring
campaign as Wendell Phillips proposes 10
inaugurate; for, having no fear of the elcc-
ton before his eyes, as he evidently does not
care whether he is elected Governor or not,
he does not hesitate to tell political truths.

Busy TIMES AMONG THE POLITICIANS. III
What with registering for election day and
the Tammany and republican primaries. and
the appointment of United States election
inspectors, and the mysterious movements
Of the Young Democracy, and the rows
and squabbles among the republican factions,
our city politicians Of all parties and cliques
and creeds and colors have been over head
and ears in business for the last two or three
days, and have been warmed up for the work
of lively campaign. From these beginnings
we look for hot shot and bombshells and
great fuss in the interval to the all-important
day of November, when the issue at the polls
is to be decided between all the parties and
factions and clques concerned

DIsHoNEsT ELECTION RETURNS. Phila-
delphia 1czegro4h, republican, speaks thus
dsparagingly of the reported democratic net
gains in Congressmep at the late elections: -
The reported democratic net Congressional gains
have dwinded down 10 two in Indiana and proba.
by not more than one in PENNSYLVANIA. II Schonck
and Morreu successfully contest ther seats the net
democratic gains IN PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio Indiana,
Iowa and Nebraska VIII probably not be more than
one member.
When will partisan papers learn to tell the
truth! But in regard to closely contested
election districts, one party is as bad as the
other, and the result depends altogether upon
which party has the fastest counters or upon
the honesty Of the investigation Of the Con-
gressional Committee on Contested Elections.

DIscoRD IN THE REPUBLICAN, RANKs.--f
the republican party expect to make any head
way in the coming election the members of
the General Committee apd the active leaders
must take some lessons from Chesterfield,
rather than adopt the style Of the leading
radical organ. AT their recent meetings it
would seem that decency was altogether
banished. Offensive language was banded
about as freely as compliments at Christmas
time, and in many instances some arguments
stronger than words were severely threatened.
This conduct was hardly to be expected from
q party claiming to have risen upon what they
deem the ruins of democratic yulgarity.
Nothing, in the olden days Of the ''hard-
listed" when ancient Tammany Hall--no
more the abiding place of the tribe-was so
often the scene, at one and the same time, of
Ciccronian eloquence on the platform and
gladatolial agility on the floor, excelled the
dscordant scenes at the late republican meet
inrs. This will not do. 'Let us have peace"
is the motto Of the republican chief Why do
not his followers put the precept into practice?

Correspondence of the Belmont Chronicle.
CINCINNATI. o., April 26, 1870.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. J. R.
Albertson, connected with the house,
we were shown the magnificent estab-
lishment of Duhme & Co.. Manufactur-
ing jewelers. and importers of watches,
diamonds, bronZes &C., corner of Fourth
and Walnut Streets, this city; and if
have the descriptive power that would
convey but faint idea of what 1 saw
my letter will prove interesting to the
many readers of the BELMONT CHRoN-
ICLE, and nothing but the beauty and
magnificence ofthe establishment could
induce me to notice it in the cores
pondent's column. Beginning at the
cellar we were shown the engine (16
horse power which is used in running
the lathes, dies and other machinery.
Here we find the furnace in which the
silver is refined: The workman places
the crude silver in pots or cruciblss of
clay which are baked in the furnace
until the silver is melted, when the
pure metal sinks to the bottom of the
vessel; the crucible is then broken,
the silver extracted and the pieces of
the broken crucibles thrown into huge
mortar and reduced to an impalpable
powder. This dust is then put through
a chemical process termed washing, by
which the small globules of silver which
penetrated the pores OF the vessels are
the smallest grains.
There are two drops" for "die". work,
the hammer of that for stamping silver
weighing 400 pounds, and that for gold
work $50 pounds. By means of these
drops and dies any raised or depressed
design is worked upon the surface Of
the gold or silver. There are two rollers
for working the silver into the form of
sheets and bars. Wewere shown sheets
of coin, sterling, and real, Is inches
wide, one-eighth inch in thickness and
about three feet in length. Coin silver
is used in manufacturing forks and
spoons, watch-cases &C.; sterling, for
making goblets cups and all,,kinds..Of hol-
low ware; real, in plating and orna-
Bars, sheets and clippings of
silver were strewn promisciously upon
the floor. The amount of silver always
on hand and kept as working stock,
independent of manufactured articles on
sale, is from 4l6 to 6665 pounds. We
seen 6 silver bricks from the Cooley d |
Gilpin mines valued at S4 $50. We now
ascend to the basement: Here we find |
q number of workmen, some are en-
ployed in manufacturing forks and
spOons-others gOblets, pitchers, cups
and all articles of silver known to the
trade. Some are casting the feet and
handles of vessels: others in engraving,
polishing and furnishing. Here we
saw men with Euge sledges pounding
upon the silver bars as the blacksmith
does upon the iron and the pieces of
silver lay strewn around as thickIy rs
the Blacksmith's SCRAPS. One little bar
Of silver must pass through the hands of
many workmep before it assumes the
