THE correspondence between Secretary
of State, Fish, at Washington. and Grants
lats minister at London, MIR. Motley, is
published. 1t was brought out by Senate
resolution. Mr.. Motley's. first letter says
that he received on the 18th of July, 1870,
a note announcing that the President wo'd
give him an opportunity Of resigning, no
reason being assigned; that as to resign
would give him the appearances of pleading
guilty to some dereliction, he refused; that
ON the 22d of November, 1870, he was in
structed to present the Queen his letter OF
recall, and did SO on the It'll of December
following. The ostensible occasion OF his
recall Mr.. Motley gives as an alleged va
ration from his instructions on the Ala
bama claims, which variation he In sub
stance denies; the true cause being he as
serts to punish his friend Senator Sumner
for procuring the defeat of the San Domin-
90 treaty, that defeat occurring on the 3Oth
of June, 1870, and the letter saying he
would be allowed to resting bearing date the
next day. July !. In reply Secretary Fish.
under date of December 80, 1870, writes to
Mr.. Moran, temporarily officiating in the
English mission. that "a paper from MIR.
Motley has reached the State Department,
setting forth the facts above related, but
that the facts are that Mr.. Motley violat-
ed his instructions, and tended by his con-
duct as Minister to foment anew the Ala
bama question which the President desired
to subside.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL.
COMMITTEE

Met in Columbus, on Tuesday. In at
tendance also were Hons. L. D. Campbell,
]. f. Mckinney, Col Geo. w. McCook,
Geo. H. Pendleton, c. L. Vallandigham.
Gen. Thos. Ewing, and Gen. Durbin Ward.
A full interchange of views was had,
and the time of the Convention was fixed
for the FIRST DAY OF JUNE next at CO.
lumbus. Several members voted for the
Convention to be held at Cleveland. We
suppose they voted so merely for fun.
At the evening meeting, Messrs. Pen
dleton and Vallandigham made some
lengthy remarks. Mr.. Pendleton told the
Democracy to be of good cheer, and re-
ferred to the many signs of promise.
Mr., Vallandigham adverted to the
school books being ~despoiled of choice
specimens of American oratory to give
place to the utterances of Schenck, Bing-
ham, Sumner, Phillips, &c. He urged
caution in opposing Grants San Domingo
policy, not to turn our backs on the old
policy of proper and fair annexation. He
did not believe in a quiet campaign. 1t
was never intended by the Almighty that
the Democratic party should sneak into
power. Mr.. V. also discussed the justice
of sinking all but living issues, and well
coming every n to the Democratic fold.
He wanted a living President in 1872, no
matter what he had been five years ago,
and General Ewing followed in a startling
exposure of the enormities of radical rule.
General Durbin Ward made a few clos
ing remarks in favor o q thorough organi-
cation.

The Lowest Type of Humanity,

The following extract is from an article
on "Barbarism and Civilization" in the
Atlantic Monthly.
On the Island Of Borneo, there has been
found a certain race Of wild creatures, o.
which kindred varieties have been discov-
cred IN the Philippine Islands, in Terra
Del Fuego, and in South America. They
walk usually, almost erect on two legs,
and in that attitude, measure about fouI
feet in height. They are dark, wrinkled
and hairy. They construct no habitation,
form no families, scarcely associate to-
gether, sleep in caves or trees, feed on
snakes and vermin, on ants eggs, on mice
and on each other. They cannot be tanned
or forced to any labor, and are hunted and
shot among the trees like the great Gorilla,
of which they are q stunted copy. When
they are captured alive, one finds with
surprise, that their uncouth jabbering
sounds like articulate language. They
turn up a human face to gaze at their cap
tor, and females show instincts of modesty.
Are these wretched beings human?

THE New York Journal of Commerce
has the following in relation to an
apostate Democrat noted for his violent a
buse of every thing Democratic
"Itis understood that Mr.. John ". For
ney, who has supported the present ad-
ministration since it came into power,
has abandoned President Grant. 1t Is
told by reliable authority, that he had an
interview with the President on Thurs
day, when the latter insisted upon his adj
vocating the purchase of San Domingo.
This, it is further said, he refused on the
ground that he is opposed to it, and that
he would not write against his convictions
for a person lUho had neuer substantially
recognized has labOrs an the pGrty.,'
The Cleveland Herald reproduces the a.
bOve, and says:
I'VE fancy the italics give the secret Of
the matter. Forney ties to- to a party
or q man. just as long as it pays What
he means by its paying is the dollars and
cents realized. The substantial recogni.
ton Forney looks for his in patronage

Pennsylvania fellows that think politics

BOUTWELL, AND MCCULLOUGH.

The World digs out of the last state
ment ofthe Secretary of the Treasury the
following comparison, by no means favor
able to that official 1t appears that Mr..
McCuLLoCH, Mr.. BoUTwELL's predecessor,
cancelled of the national debt in three
years-1S67 to 1869 inclusive-$l65, 1872
959,75, on which he paid a premium Of
49, ATS, 1904 and that as an Offset he
received during the above three years $40,
TAG, 450,9 81 as premium on gold sales. In
other words, counting as offset the pre-
MUM on such sales, Mr.. McCULLoCH
managed to buy n hundred and eighty
five millions of dollars ofbonds at the rate
as near as possible, of "a cents on the dol
lar. But far different has been the inan-
ciering Of Mr.. boutwell,. In 1870 that
gentleman cancelled $lO7, 779, 1891 Is, Of
debt which cost him, as he states, premi-
UNI on loans and purchase of bonds, $15,-
900, 555,60 while the receipts of premium
on gold sales and loans were during the
same periOd. SIS, 1875. 643,76. Thus it will
be seen that not only has he been paying
our debtin gold but has actually paid a
gold premium to buy it up. If we had paid
the $lo7, 769, 1868 outright in gold
from the Treasury instead of selling the
gold,iwe would have been a little over
100000 in pocket.

Soap, candles, tape, and button blue.

He answered slowly, IT'S no go,
But what s the reason, l dunno"

And tell me how yon made your money
