About Boutwell,.

Ii Mr. Boutwell, leaves Office, says the
Boston Post, it will be by reason Of the
pressure of popular opinion. His crush
ing system Of bleeding the country of
its resources to pay off the debt, when
what all industries demand is relief from
excessive taxation, is proving too much
for the common endurance and the nat
ural result is making its appearance at
the tr a'ury department. The current
scheme of Mr. Boutwell, has been car
ried on in defiance of the popular senti-
ment, which is organizing at last for ef-
fectiye expression. The country believes
that the best mode OF providing securi-
ty for its Indebtedness is to first make
industry prosperous, and thus multiply
and strengthen the general resources. II
Mr.. Boutwell, goes because his mind
c,nnot comprehend SO simply a theory,
he merely leaves place for which his
incapacity is freely admitted.

Re6lstrictlne the state.

One of the duties Of the State Legisla
tiire will be to redistrict the State for
Congressional purposes. Unless Con-
gress shall increase the number of mem
hers, which seems likely, this State viii
lose one member.
But in any event .he Radicals will
make u general Encouragement of the
boundary lines. The general decline of
their party warns them that they have
spread out too tliin--lcft their margins
too small-in many districts of the State.
They propose 10 remedy this by conccn
trating the Democratic counties as far as
pacticabIe,and giving to the Democrats
u majority in one district more than they
now have,and by this means insure Rad
ieal majorities in the remainder
At any rate the whole history of Rad
jcalism warrants the assertion that the
State will be gerrymandered with the
.view Of exclusively bcneiittins the Rad
zeal party, and depriving the Democrats
of their fair ratio of Congressmen.

claims to have strong case-the evil
dence of a Senator Of the United States

the stings which accompany defeat. he

Amnesty Against nay ose.s.

Mr.. GREELEY thinks the Republican
party is butting its head against stone
wall. Alter giving the history of the
political contest in Missouri, the Tribune
closes thus:
ave now ask the particular attention
of General Butler, Mr. Maynard and
their remaining disciples, to the follow
ing officiol returns of the total vote of
Missouri: For Governor-Gratz Brown,
bolter and Democrat, 104. 1874; McClurg,
regular republican, 1886. On restoring
the right OF suffrage to rebels-Yes, ,l27-
SAB; No, ,26S. On restoring TO them
the right to hold office-Yes, l23.4l3 I;
No, 1905. On abolishing the test oath
for jurors-Yes, 13l. 400; No, 10,79o.-
Do we need any mere Of such boiling
and suci voting to convince us that the
day for disfranchisement and proscrip-
ton has passed-that the question is no
longer, Shall these be everthrown !? but,
Shall the Republican party willfully bu-
ry itself beneath their ruins?' They
cost us Virginia in 1869; they have just
cost us Missouri and West Virginia.
Shall they be blirdly upheld till we have
nothing left to loose?" sG',

In addition to sending soldiers into
New York to make war forilis party gen.
orally, GRANT was, at the same time.car
|rying on small civil war in his own
party in that State. There was and still
lis little unpleasantness between the
New York Senator's, CoNxLING and Fen
TON and GRANT, blundering as usual in
his political movements, sailed in ar
IDENTIFY for CoskLING He turned out of
Office everybody suspected of having
been recommended by FEkroN, and by
the sharp practice Of some of his camp
followers, succeeded in having his favor
ite nominated for Governor, but he was
woefnlly beaten at the election.
A. the recent organization of the New
York Legislature another opportunity
was afforded for testing the strength of
GRANT in his own party. In the Radi-
ical eaucas each faction presented cut
and dried list of candidates, and after
much maneuvering and manipulating, a
square vote was had which resulted in a
disastrous defeat of the GRANT CoNK-
LING squad by the FENroNITEs
No man elected President has ever
sunk his popularity with his party more
rapidly than GRANT. Without the Off
cial patronage at his command he would
stand no more chance of a denomination
than one Of his impecunioas brothers in
law.

Protection reduce, waco,

"ln Sweden, the average cost of the
labor employed in iron-making is fifty.
four cents (gold) per day. The question
which seems to US in the premises is
How are we to make iron, or cloth, or
| any sort of manufactures under Free
Trade, without reducing the average VA
Fges' OF our labo. to an equality with
those which rule in Europe :"--N. Y.
Tribune. Nor. 25, 1870.
The Tribune is good authority on the
slavery question. Will it please tell us
what wages were paid to Southern slaves
prior to emancipations We believe
none. Yet which of our industries left
us to 60 South, in times of Free. Trade
or IN times of Protection? Tennessee,
Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia,
all have beds of iron ore of surprising
richness, coal and limestone in a5und-
ance on the very edge of navigable riv-
ers. Yet did they ever smelt iron when
they had workmen in abundance at no
wages at all Did the low wages, or no
wages, paid to Southern slaves '.reduce
the average wages of our labor to an
equality with the wages of slave labor?
In Sierra Leone, where wages are Eve.
cents a day, what industry prevails p
Why do nes the low wages of Sierra Le-
one reduce the average wages of our la
Dor to those prevailing in Sierra Le-
one?
In the Black Forest large numbers of
people toll for sixteen cents q week ma
king wooden toys. They used to be
largely employed in making boot-pegs.
Now New England mechanics at three
dollars day supply-ail the world witi
boot.pegs cheaper than the Black Fores-
ters could at sixteen cents week This
whole talk about lowering wages under
Free Trade is 'bosh." Machinery in
this country produces ten times as much
as man, land makes it possible to produce
almost everything cheaper here than it
can be produced anywhere else, and yet
to pay higher wages to a mechanic be-
cause he is able to use better tools ard ma
chine'y, and thereby produce ten times
as much as his less .skilful, less intelli-
gent, and consequently less well-paid
competitor In Europe. The tariff doubles
and trebles, nay, oaadruples and quinta
pies the price and cost Of machinery for
the benefit Of the IRON and coal and other
monopolists, and consequently reduces
theprofts Of all manufacturers to point
schere they are obliged tos stop aoorhtng or
to locer the ,cages Of their toorkmenS-
