OsE Of the best illustrations of the false
doctrine of protection is to be found in the
now almost universal commodity of the
sewing machine. 1t is emphatically a
Yankee notion, and to this country is the
world indebted for its practical utility. But

notion The three leading machines are

THE typical world-burning is progressing
over large sections of the Northwestern
States. Prairie and forest fires seem to be
absolutely uncomfortable, owing to the ex-
cessive dry weather. Farm houses, fences
and outbuildings, together with mills and
lumber stations, have alike disappeared in
the flames; and even cities and villages
have not entirely escaped, notwithstanding
the combined efforts of the whole popula-
ton. And now one-third of Chicago has
been laid waste by the fire king, leaving
nearly hundred thousand people homeless,
houseless, and without food or raiment,
Truly fearful scourge has befaIlen not only
Chicago, but the State of Wisconsin.

- There are doubtless many who will use
the recent Radical triuinphs in Pennsylva-
mia and Ohio, as argument forthe abandon
ment of the Democratic organization. The
same argument was used with more plausi-
bility and force few years since, when all
the State governments were under the COM
plete control of the Radicals, when
there Were only fory-nine Democratic.
representatives IN Congress. The argu-
ment did not prevail even in those dark.
days. The Democratic party, whose prin-
ciples are endorsed by the people of the
South, kept its organization intact and
struggled on against the overwhelming
odds. In the present Congress we have
over one hundred representatives. -i2.
Who outside of the Radical party doubts
that the existence of the Southern States,
and indeed Of Constitutional government,
depends upon the success of the principles
of the Democratic party9 Who can doubt
that the surest, aye, only way of securing
the success Of those principles is by vigo-
rously maintaining the Democratic organi-
zationP Nowhere in the North, where
the burden of the fight has been,
and is to be, have we seen a
proposal to disband the veteran army,
which has so long and so bravoly contested
the ground with the legions of consolida-
ton and corruption. Shall we of the South,
who are most directly and deeply interested
in the defeat of Radicalism, be the first, by
our dissensions, to carry Encouragement
and alarm to the ranks of our friends?
When the time comes for a change
of front or change of policy,
the faithful and sagacious leaders
all through the North, ever on the alert,
will give to their Southern allies prompt
notice. Until that time arrives and that
notice is given, it behooves the Southern
Democracy to stand steadfast and true.

WHAT TT MEANS.


We published yesterday the address
of the Democratic members Of Congress.
As to its meaning, Washington dis
patch says:
tThe criticism which has been made in
some Radical quarters of the language
of that portion of the Democratic ad-
dress, which calls on all our fellow-citi-
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to carefully protect the right OF
every citizen, to preserve kindly relations
among all men, and to discountenance
and discourage any violation of the
rights of any portion of the people
under the Constitution or any OF its
amendments, is untrue so far as 1t is
intended to make it appear that the
Democratic caucus did not recognize
the validity of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments, or the legis-
lation under them. While the Demo
cratic members did not believe that the
reconstruction acts were constitutional,
nor approve of the way the Fifteenth
Amendment was ratified, because GER
tain States were denied admission into
the Union till forced to ratify 1t, they at
the same time propose to accept both as
of full effect. This was what the tenor
of the debate indicated, and what the
above language of the address was in
tended to convey. Only three members
of the party--two from Maryland and
one from Delaware-opposed i.

pledged the meeting TO fight against a contin-
uance of the Burlingame treaty by every legal
means. The second condemned those parties
in power who introduced coolie slavery. and
pledged the meeting to oppose slavery and the
party in power which win not guarantee its
prohibition. The third held the spectators
in that unholy traffic responsible for all the
evil that may be caused by them. The fourth
calls upon trades unions to unite against the
introduction of coolie labor. After the read
ing of tho resolutions the meeting adjourned.
The annual meeting of tho Brooklyn Yacht
Club was held last evening. Officers were
elected for the ensuing year and reports Of
committees received.
No tidings have been received regarding the
whereabouts of General Lawrence, the abb
sconding Pension Agent for this city. who dis
appeared March 18th. kilograms have been
sent to Paris and London. but no Information
regarding him has been received by his family.
His deficiencies. it is said. are not over fifty
thousand dollars. and his bondsmen have
signihed their intention to pay the Govern
mont claim. No legal proceedings will be
instituted by the Government.

JERSEY CRY. April 2.-At quarter past
seven o'clock this morning one of the wagons
attached to Barnum's show. which had jour-
neyed all night from Patterson. N. j.. ap-
preached the track of the New Jersey Central
railroad at Crawford. There were six men
in the wagon, five of whom were asleep.
The driver was also asleep on the box. As the
horses started across the track the whistle Of
the locomotive startled one Of them slumber-
ing in the wagon, who leaped to his feet. and
opening the iron slide in the door looked out.
Before he could warn his companions of the
danger the engine dashed against the wagon
and crushed it to fire wood. The limbs Of the
sleepers in the wagon were found scattered
along the track. The driver and horses were
literally cut to pieces. Only one man escaped
to tell how the accident occurred.

roRNEY's PATRIOTISM.

Every one who reads newspapers has
heard of John w. Forney. We trust the
little, innocent girls make an exception.
We trust again that they will never, by
any accident, know who he is. He is
not yet warm in his position of Collector
of Customs at Philadelphia. Yet he has
the andacity to say:
In the light of all recent events he is
the fittest person to lead the Republican
columns. His great victories in war have
been repeated in peace; and as he
crushed the first rebellion, so will he
that which now, dark and threatening,
looms up in the Southern horizon. The
power conferred on him by the bill en-
forcing the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution, which yesterday re-
ceived his sanction, will be rigidly exer,,
cised and peace and prosperity restored
to every State Of the Union.
Commenting upon this the Pittsburg
Post one of the soundest Democratic
papers of the North, says: We can
readily understand what is meant BY
recent events" so far as the editor OF
the Press is concerned, but how Grants
great victories in war have been repeated
in peace or how peace and prosperity
are to be restored by clothing the Presi-
dent with the power Of Dictator, we
do not comprehend. The war lasted
but four years; six years have elapsed
since Lee surrendered, and peace is as
remote as ever, which demonstrates at
least that generals and statesmen are
cast in different moulds. Greeley, Of
the Tribune, administers the following
rebuke to the gallant Colonel of the Col
lectors Office:
Colonel Forney is so fresh from sharp
arraignment of the Administration, that
our present high esteem for him would
have been better preserved if he had not
made haste, so soon after taking posses
sion of his Collectorship in Philadel-
nhia. TO renominate General Grant for
the Presidency. We do not think the
time has come for nominating the next
President, and we are very sure that
new and grateful officeholders are not
the men to do it.

VERSAILLES, April 27.-It is expected that
the insurgents will soon evaeuate Fort Issy.
Much damage has been done to the fort by the
steady artillery fire Of the Government troops.
and many of the guns in the fort have been
disabled. The breaches in the walls are ex-
tensiye.
The Northern Railroad Company yesterday
issued an official notification to all concerned
that the blockade Of Paris commenced on that
day. and no further supplies of provisions
destined for the city could be carried.
Theirs has instructed the authorities to
guard against the escape of the Communal
leaders from Paris by balloon. This course
will probably be attempted by members who
have made themselves peculiarly obnoxious
TO the Government. and every precaution is
being taken by the authorities to prevent it.
The Prussian troops are about TO reoccupy
Fontainbleau.
General Paidherbe has been removed from
command by the Government.
The press throughout the northern districts
Of France is disconnected. and demand Of the
Versailles Government what game it intends
to play when only the Bonapartists are well
come. This is powerful indication of the
effect which the operations Of the Bonapartist
agents have had in these districts.

tion Of the treaty lately concluded at Brussels.

The New York Sun publishes report
from Copenhagen, which, if true, de-
mands the attention of the State De-
psrtment. 1t relates to our Minister
(Cramer), who is the Presidents brother
in-law. The Sun says:
Even the diplomatic corps use him
with studied neglect, and fashionable
people in general turn up their noses at
him. These unpleasant circumstances
are due to the report that the Rev. Mr..
Cramer was publicly logged at Leipsic
and did not resent it, and to the remarks
said to have been made about him at the
time when his nomination was discussed
in the Senate at Washington. He is not
only cut in public, but, what is worse
and moro expensive, it is said that he
receives no invitations to dinner.
