A wRIrER for Horper'S Magazine
a very scientific fellow he appears to be-.
has been on visit to Niagara Falls, and
he gravely tells the readers of that period
ical that 'by examining the character of
the rocks and the dip of the strata, we can
predict the appearance which Niagara
will present for 200 centuries, providing
that in. the meantime no change takes
place in. the present order of Nature.
Thus, in 5000 years the main fall will be
little above the head of Goat Island; the
American fall viii have disappeared, and
Goat Island will be an island no longer.
The height of the fall will then be twenty
feet less than it now is. Another 8, 900
years and the height of the fall viii then
be reduced by forty more feet In 10, :
900 more years the gorge will havelength-
ened back to the head of the rapids, and
all that constitutes the present Niagara
will have disappeared. There will be nc
great cataract, but in its place a rapid,
with descent of $50 feet in four miles. >
1t is assuring that the falls will last SC
long. and that their beauty will not HI
much disturbed during the present gene
ration

WHATISTFO FOR ,

There is snake of monstrous proper
lions in the Indian appropriation bill
passed by Congress and approved by Grant.
The sum actually appropriated by Con-
gress, to feed the Indians, is $1,000,
Dol. 30. The administration asked for but
S5,O48, 1874 81. In 1860 the appropriation
for their benefit was only 81, 991, 124.54,
less than half the sum voted at the late
session of Congress. If three millions was
a sum sufficient to feed the Indians in
1860, when they were much more numer-
Gus than now, why should six millions be
required for the same purpose in 1870?
What is to become of the three million
surplus ? The Indian Bureau asked all
that could possibly be figured up, and
yet Congress, instead of cutting the
amount down, as was usual before the
reign Of Radicalism, actually added q
million to it. The officers of the Indian
Bureau deemed they had given sufficient
margin for the operations of the thieves
who are by courtesy styled 'Gndian
Agents" As this superfuous million is
certainly not to go to the Indians, it will
go somewhere else. There is a suspicion
that while the money is appropriated os-
tensibly to feed the Indians, it is really
for use in the approaching political cam

GEN. JACK HAMILTON, who was tried
and trusted Radical in Texas, until the
Reynolds Davis regime was foisted upon
that State, has become disguised at the
usurpations and outrages of the present
dynasty, and lately made a remarkable
speech at Brennan in that State, in the
course of which he said: "I do not ad-
wise you to rebel, but do say that it is
not only your right but it is your duty to
resist such measures as the militia and
police bills with moral force, and if that
be Intellectual resist NTH physical force
before you will suffer troops to be quar-
tered upon you in time of peace" Had
a Democrat made this speech he would
have been arrested Immediately and tried
by drum-head court martial. 1t is well
enough to find an occasional Radical who
is honest enough and bold enough to re-
mind the tyrants of their infamy.

ENGLAND AND THE BALANCE OF
POWER,

The London Times recently published
an article on the ''balance of power" in
Europe. From that article we extractthe
following passage: 'In urging that any
effort Should be made for the maintenance
of peace, we are moved more by moral
considerations than by those of traditional
European policy. We may say at once
that we care very little about the balance
of power, which, within the last two or
three years, has significantly disappeared
from the preamble to the mutiny act. A
war between France and Prussia would
be war for the left bank of the Rhine,
and would, no doubt, be fought out until
the capacity of the one to conquer, or the
other to defend the debatable land, was fully
decided. Themiitary result of such war
would affect us but little. The time has
passed when it could matter to England
whether any Western power possessed
few square miles more or less, or the
command of this or that fortress. Since
the last settlement of Europe, States have
come to maturity in the world which
threaten to dwarf the ordinary members
of the European system. Russia and the
United States are the powers which the
next generation will look upon as the
most formidable. Moreover, the inter-
ests and attention of England are chiefly
concerned with her own growing colo
MES and with the vast population of Asia.
The result of Franco-Prussian war is of
little moment to us, politically, but we
have an interest, in common with the
whole of Europe, that the two most adj
vanced nations of the continent should
not plunge into a contest, the effect of
which may be to divide them far gen.
Grafton by an enduring hatred. How
much the real strength of civilization may
lose by such a CONFUSION it is impossible
TO foretelL. we can only be certain that the
importance of Western Europe, the princi-
pal field of human progress, win be di-
minished, perhaps permanently, by a
fratricidal strife" This is view of the
question taken previous to the disclosure
of the attempted arrangement between
Napoleon and Bismark, intended to divide
the whole of Central Europe. The Times
doubtless has a contrary idea of the mat
ter now, when all the facts in relation to
the Napoleon-Bismarck game are spread
before the public. The real designs of
France and Prussia can now be clearly
seen. They are bent upon territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Since the war of 1866,
Prussia has added half an Empire TO the
sway of the HohenzOllerns and put more
than one princcly coronet at the feet of
King William. At the same time France
has been scheming for the overthrow OF
Belgium, although Napoleon knew that
England had guaranteed the separate
nationality of this power. The Prussian
flag has also been Haunted in the face of
Denmark and Holland, and intimatien
clearly given that under certain circum-
stances, it would be obligatory upon Prus-
STA to push her column of conquest and
power in that direction.

sD1xor.n the well known WASHINGTON

"DKoy,n the well known Washington
correspondent of the Boston 1dvcrtiscr,
has been q; the pains to classify the va
rious land-grabbing schemes that arc now
before Congress. He thinks they can be
srranged under twenty-one heads. He
concludes his letter with the following
vigorous little paragraph:
That it would be wise to pass some of
the bills no sensible man will dispute:
that at least five-sixths OF them ought to
be rejected will not be denied by any one
giving the subject careful examination.
A few mean business and are intended to
subserve the public good; the great ma
iority are drawn in the interest of mere
Spectators, and are more or less directly
meant to bring great fortunes into the
pockets of those asking the several fran
chises.

THERE is a strange reluctance IN cur
leading financial legislators TO remit taxes
which are not needed for revenue. One
cause of this seems to be desire tomain-
tain an enormous surplus revenue for
sensational financionng policy. The other
seems to be q total lack of perception OF
the fact that the reduction Of the rate of
taxation relieves production and cnlarges
the basis Of taxation, so that this revenue
is not correspondingly diminished. We
are now expressing production by mon
strous scale of taxation that besides sup
porting an enormous expenditure gives a
surplus of near hundred millions. Were
we to remit the most oppressive kinds OF
taxes, and to reduce rates to such a de-
gree as to equal a reduction OF one hun
dred millions on last years collections, 1t
is morally certain that the increased pro-
ductiveness in consequence Of this rellef
would still give us a large and sufficient
surplus.

WHAT no DO WITIH WHITE
MORE.

UEOIAhle
The New York Tribune in recent
number asks the question and answers it
in the following manner:
We see it stated that Mr.. Whittemore,
the rejected Cadet-peddling Congressman,
purposes becoming once more candidate
for the place from which he has been
elected. We should like to know how it
happens that this criminal is at large, to
run for any Office. Who is the District
Attorney in South Carolina, charged with
the duty of prosecuting notorious Offend
ers against the statutes of the United
States Why hes he for months ne
elected this plain case, and how much
longer does be propose to neglect it9
Here is the law which Mr.. Whittemore
has broken:
eff any member of Congress shall, d.
rectly or indirectly, receive any pecuniary
or other valuable compensation for pro-
curing any Office or place under the Gov
ernment, he shall be liable to Indictment
for misdemeanor in United States Court,
and upon conviction shall pay fine not
exceeding 5 $1,000, and be imprisoned in
| the Penitentiary for a term not exceeding
| two years, and be thereafter disqualified
from holding any Office of honor, profit,
or trust under the Government of the
United States"
That the proper officer may have nc
| doubt as to there being sufficient evidence
Of guilt to warrant the promptest proceed
ings, we recall to his attention this al
most unanimous declaration of the House
of Representatives 80
| 'Resolved, That BIZ. Whittemore, late
member from the first District of South
Carolina, did make appointments at the
Military Academy at West Point and the
Naval Academy at Annapolis in violation
Of law, and that such appointments were
influenced by pecuniary considerations,
and that his conduct in the premises has
been such as to show him unworthy of 6
seat in the House of Representatives,
and is therefore condemned as conducI
unworthy Of the Representative of the
people"
Now why has not this notorious of
fender been brought to justice! Why arr
we threatened with the disgrace of an
other canvass in which he shall be ;
prominent candidates Why must we b.
subjected to the possible humiliation o
having this man again presented TO
membership at the bar of the House
We call upon the District-Attorney AM
the courts to do their too-long neglected
duty. And we call upon Attorney-Ge
eral Alderman to see that they neglect
no longer. Open the penitentiary door
for him, and let US have an end 0

Il The people of Tennessee, and especiall
of the first Congressional district, hay
some interest in this subject. For, if tn
laws of the United States should be thu
enforced in Whittemore's district in Sout
Carolina, might they not in like manne
be enforced in Roderick Buffers distric

an eye to pensions, and what would be

THE PUBLIC CREDIT.
The New York World presents to view
be following astonishing little tahnlatinn.

@tAS ~'S'' - S@tA " ~ ~ GASSN~NS ~ Wv
the following astonishing little tabulation:

French rentes.................7235 65.95 6.25 q
COnsols .................. ........G soy 81 sc
Fiye-twenties in London..91 81 II &c
This table is very suggestive. If the
price of funds is an index of peace and
wal, it would seem that the United States
and not France or Prussia are undergoing
the curse of the belligerent condition.
What is the matter with our national
credit Our five-tWenties pay nearly
double the rate of interest borne by the
rentes or consols. Congress has author
lied MIR. Boutwell, TO pay in future all our
obligations, as far as his money goes, at
par in gold. The astute Boutwell, is buy
ing up fvc-twcntics at the rate of hun
drcd and fifty millions ycar-Iilling the
industry OF the country to do so-and yet
here are these PerVcrsc foreigners send

hundred dollars. We repeat, what is The
matter with cur national credit ?' Are

THE New York Express charges that
the majority of people are gamblers by
nature, and that they will lay wagers
upon almost everything, and as evidence,
cites the fact that in one public place of
resort in that city on Saturday night, July
%, bets to the amount of $4,000 were
made concerning the result of the war in
Europe. The majority of people would
object very decidedly to being judged by
New York.

The Philadelphia Age publishes COM
munication "from highly intelligent and
respectable source" stating that at the be-
ginning of the late war, the Federal Gov
eminent supplied itself with an immense
number of hand-cuffs. The Age says
"We know that it wanted to gag the
press, but are at loss to imagine what it
expected to do with so many handouts. ,"
The Philadelphia Press confesses that
these handouts "were purchased to use
in enforcing the draft" That is a sting

procured to fight for ''the best govern
ment in the world"
