FACTS woRTHY OF ArTENFaoN.

To the Editors OF the mon anu AmerlcaM
In Yesterdays Banner, an editorial aP-
peared under the head Of Penitentiary Pro-
ducts, would probably (unintentionaf) lead
many astray as to some statements. In
order to correct the same, the writer would
say that the article Of stoves have been and
can be male at a much less price than the
Banner represents. If the prices mention
ell could be obtained it would furnish
employment for all the capital in our
State. Their present price list is ON an ay-
erage of SS.5} per stove in lieG o. $50. The
parties who have been making hollow
ware have been compelled to suspend ON
account of the 1convicts' products, being
at suclnprices as to defy honest labor COM
peting with theirs. Stoves and hollow-ware
can be made in Tennessee as cheap, N not
cheaper. than in any ''sister State, but not
as cheap as il can be made IN the Peniten-
tiary. having the whole capital Of the State
TO back il, win or lose The same parties
who have been manufacturing stoves have
now some three orfour thousand dollars dead
capital On hand. SO on an average is con
sidered to be an exOrbitant price for stoves,
such as are made at the Penitentiary. An
other branch is the manufacture Of fIrni-
ture, which is given at nearly so per cent
higher price than il IS sold for. Altogether

4 OniciaI Account Of the Gloucester Ku.
The Collector of Customs at Gloucester
has officially notified the Secretary Of the
| Treasury of the seizure Of the schooner
Edward A. Horton by the Dominion cutter
Sweepstakes for alleged violation of the
\ Canadian fishing laws. The owner went to
Guysboro 10 look after his vessel and found
her lying at the wharf. He quietly and
peaceabiy took possession of his vessel and
sailed for Gloucester. There has been
[no?l condemnation of the vessel by the
English courts.

Butler's Plan TO Grcumvent Greeley.
Special to the louisville Ledger.
During his recent visit-here, among other
things, Butler developed plan to Grant,
which the latter thinks will head off
Greeley's presidential movement, and bring
harmony generally to the Republican party |
in New York. Butler is of opinion that !
Fenton should be nominated for Vice |
President, which position he. thinks the |
latter could be induced to accept. He as
serts that Conkling could find no fault with /
this proceeding, as the Vice-Presidency is a |
mere honorary position, without influence,
and is generally fatal to the man who oecu- |
pies IL. But even If the Utica Statesman |
hould grumble at this arrangement, Butler |
affirms he would not dare to break friend
ship with Grant, as his only strength now
consists on the support given him by the
Administration. Butler is of the opinion
that Greeley has no substantial political
strength whatever, and this arrangement
would also force him to follow Fenton's
political fortunes under the banner of
Grant. 40 ----t'-

Loss of Virginia to the Republicans.
The Radicals give up the impending cleo
ton in Virginia as hopeless. Several of the
leaders, such as Porter and Platt,
have got into quarreling among themselves,
and, as in other Southern States, have ap-
Dealed to the administration for support.
MARSHALL SHARP, tie Presidents brother in
aw, who farms his Office here in this dis
.rict for $4,000 year, has not been con-
suited in the present canvass, and perhaps
his may account for the confusion in the
Radical camp.

EUROPEANS INVESTING IN THIS
C0VNTRX-


The New York Nea0s says the recent re-
port that the Emperor Napoleon is negotiat-
ing for an estate on Long Island may not
be true, but it is very probable that his ex-
Majesty has been investing his surplus gains
from time to time in American securities
and American real estate. In doing sO
adds the Nelrs, be would only be following
the example of almost numberless royal
personages and people of quality in the Old
World. Ex-Queen Christina, of Spain,
mother of Isabella, it is known has several
millions invested here, and some Of her
money is in large mandatory near Phila-
delphia She is said to. be treating for a
valuable piece Of property on this island,
which the owner holds at S4,0000O0. The
statement was made years ago that Prince
Albert and his wife owned blocks
of houses in New York, the deeds
staEding inthe names of confidential agents.
The same has been asserted of the Orleans
family and the Imperial house of Russia.
The inducements to royalty to salt down
their money in America are net only the
larger rate of interest derived from invest
ments here, but the certain security from
the storms which blow over the monarchi-
calcountries of Europe, carrying confiscation
In their sweep. In these troublouS times
but few of the Royal families feel that their
coronets are safely ON their heads. The
first rude disaster TO their dynasty or their
country may drive them forth stripped not
only Of crown, but home and property
How comforting the assurance to them
must be that beyond the ocean there is re-
treat for which they will have to be behOl-
den TO no man.
