The wealth Of EngIand.


The Manchester Courier states that the pie
thora of capital in Great Britain is at the pres
ent time exceedingly heavy in consequence of the
payment of numerous dividends of various
kinds, amounting for January, 1871, to over
sos $50 000 derived from the following sources
From dividends on English government loans,
S33, 800 600; Australian, Canadian and Indian
government loans, 81 500, 900; English railway
debentures, SS750,O0O; foreign government
loans S44 100, 900; and English joint stock banks,
mining and miscellaneous shares, 50, 100000. The
Courier asserts that there is reason to believe
that the total paid on stock and shares during
the whole year amounts to over 100000, 900.
A clearer indication of the wealth of Great Br-
tain, it is argued is to be obtained by consider
ing the amount of capital stock in which deal
lngs take place in the London stock exchange,
OF which the following is given as an approx
mate estimate: British government stock, S4,-
600; government stock in the British
possessions and colonies, including Canada.
Australia and India, 100000, 900; French gov
eminent stock, $2,70O,0O0,000; stock of other
European states, $4,000, 900 900; stock of the
United States government and of other states
of North America, 50, 150, 900 000 stock of South
American states, $40 900 900; and stock of the
Central American States and of the West Indies,
Sl1O,O0O,O0O making total of S13 260 900 900
worth OF government stocks that changed hands
either nominally or really during 1870 In adj
dtion to :hese there were 50 $50, O0O,0 900 worth
of railway shares, and bank telegraph, mining
and miscellaneous shares, the total of which
can not be Appropriated. During 1870 there
were placed on the British market 1905 900 600
loans and SS5,OOO,0O0 of joint stock enterprises,
the latter comprising S50,000,O00 of Russian and
$30,0OO,0O0 of Spanish railway stocks. 1t is also
estimated that the surplus capital and savings
required to be reinvested annually in England
amounts to one thousand millions of dollars, of
which one-half is invested in land, houses, and
old and well.known stocks and shares, and the
other half in new loans and joint stock enter
prises. AS another mode OF obtaining the fnan-
cial operations in Great Britain, the bankers
clearings on the twenty-four regular sitting days
on the stock exchange are given. From these
figures it appears that the stock operations of
1870 amounted to S3,174570 900; Of 1869, to
1882 $4,000, and of 1868, to $2,616, 745, 00O
As to the extent of the trade and commerce of
Great Britain, the bankers clearings on the
fourth" day of each month gives balances of
$3.50 6S5 900 for 1870 of Ss4S, GAS 900 for 1869,
and of S775, 340, 900 for 1868. Taking the whole
range of bankers clearings, exclusive of stock
exchange settlements, it is stated that sum of
SIC, 1896 $50 900 was used in the banking business
alone during 1870, and of S07 ,255OO0 in 1869.

the governor, how far weeds are noXious. If
the soil will grow nothing but weeds, is II not
best that the weeds should grown Many OF
them are very nutritious, and are eaten down
closely by cows and other stock. White daisies
are generally considered a nuisance, but they
are better than nothing; and lift were not for
these and many other weeds, which seem to
spring up almost simultaneously on our eX-
bausted soil the lands, as at present managed,
would soon become as barren as the desert of
Sahara or the Holy Land In our exhausted
pastures, they are constantly springing up,
many of them unobserved by our farmers, and
il is fair question how much of the richness of
our old pastures is due to what would be popu-
lary termed weeds. Lichens, often COMPOUNDED
with MOSES, are very nutritious. In Lapland
vast herds OF reindeer live on them; and we i'm
port Iceland moss, so valuable as food for con-
sumptives, because of its nutritious properties.
How far the lichens and some of the MOSES
proper give value to our old pastures, has never
been ascertained They are low-growing and
unobtrusive, and may be a valuable unrecog-
nized blessing to our farmers. II is well known
that some excellent pastures, before being
plowed, have never been restored to their origi-
nal value since the pillow was run through them,
destroying the natural grasses, lichens, moses,
and weeds. Cultivation has greatly modified if
not entirely changed the character of the feed
on them; and intelligent farmers, who have eX-
celent old meadows and pastures, are growing
more and more cautious how they pillow them

The editor of the Utica Herald reports a long
conversation on agricultural matters with Ho-
ratio Seymour, who is said to be a very intelli-
gent and successful farmer, whatever NAV lie
thought of his merits as politician. A part of
the conversation, or rather monoogue, for the
editors share in it is not reported is thus told:
"The tendency TO theorize and to jump TO
hasty conclusions on few facts, bnt imperfect
ly understood, was dwelt upon quite earnestly
by the governor. Effects are too often mistaken
for causes, and farmers fight the effects, as doc
tors often doctor symptoms, instead of getting

1t is, also, noticeable fact that she resolved to
deliver her lectures in New Jersey Gin the very
towns where were situated the several houses OF
the convent with which she had been connect
ed She was living in Boston, at the time
when her purpose to bear testimony in lectures
was formed; but she would not begin there, for
she desired TO address her "former coreligion-
lists, in the very community where she had spent
most of her convent life"
Reading her book has given us view of her
motives somewhat different from that to which
we were previously inclined. Her story will
strengthen, in great many minds, the convic-
tion that converts are not desirable institutions.
Without speaking of abuses to which they are
liable it must be said that no institution is
good which substitutes authority for reason,
tradition for truth and obedience" for con-

CICERO AND THE DAILY PAPER. When
Cicero in ancient Rome launched his fiery in
vectiyes against Catalina and delivered his grand
defense of the poet Archias, small indeed must
have been the circle of those who had concep-
ton Of his eloquence. But let us suppose that
by some inscrutable means a communication
could have,been established between the world of
that day and the world OF modern times, aud that
an accomplished reporter of our daily press and
one of Hoes steam printing presses could have
been quietly Struggled into the Rome of Cicero's
time. We will suppose the stenographer silent
ly to take down in his manuscript those noble
examples Of ancient eloquence as they were ut
tered; we will suppose the steam press TO per-
form its Office. We will suppose the reporter
early the next morning to visit the orator with
copies Of his ortaion. He might say to him
" Mr., Cicero for your genuine journalist is
ever courteous, as is shown by some notable ex-
amples-" Mr.. Cicero here is your yesterdays
speech: You suppose that the manuscript in
one OF the pockets of your toga is the only
copy OF 1t in existence but here you see are sew

The people of Hartford are taking measures
20 erect monument to DR.. Horace Wei, in
honor of his memory as the discoYerer of
au@sthesia. The state has appropriated $4,000
for the purpose on condition that like sum be
raised by private subscription; and the city of
Hartford has been authorized to appropriate
S5000 A meeting was held in that city, We'd
nesday evening, to devise measures for raising
the money, and an executive committee was ap-
pointed. 1t is seldom that man so well de-
serves monument as DIR. Wells whose great
discovery has been so widely appreciated. At
one time, there was a strenuous attempt TO de-
prive him of the honor of this discovery and
give it to another; but this failed and is nowise
likely to be removed. His right to it is now ac-
knowledged by the National Medical Associa-
ton; and it was never uncertain in the mind OF
any man acquainted with the history of his eX-
perimen:s. Interest in this movement to erect |
an appropriate monument to the memory OF Dr.
Horace Wells, will not be confined to Hartford.

The MAID OF SARAGossA.-Augustina the
celebrated Maid Of Saragossa, was handsome
itinerant lemonade-seller, twenty-five years of
age She arrived with food for the soldiers at
the moment when the battery had been swept
clear of every defender. The people, daunted
by the sight, hung back. The brave woman in
stantly rushed forward over the dead and dying
and snatching lighted match from the hand of
the dead artilleryman, fired off a twenty-six
FOUNDER. Then jumping on the gun, as Wilkie
represents her, with disheveled hair and stormy
eyes, she swore to the Virgin never TO quit the
gun alive while the siege lasted. The people,
encouraged bythis woman's almost supernatural
daring, rushed back into the deserted battery,
opened tremendous FIRE and repulsed the
French attack. When her husband fell wound
cd at her feet she discharged his cannon at the
enemy to avenge his fall. She also frequently
led tue sortes, and, sword in hand, with her
COAX wrapped round her, fought daily in the
streets; When the city surrendered, Augustine
was taken prisoner, but catching the fever, was

The KukIux Troubles.

The New York World oyerhows with pity for
thewhitepeople of South Carolina, under therule
the carpet-baggers, who it says have organized
the deluded negroes into militia, and have
persuaded them, not difficult task we imagine
that the whites have designs upon their freedom.
The whites in some of the upper counties have
been "driven to despair and desperation" and
hence collisions have taken place, in which peo-
pie have been killed on both sides. This is the
view which the World chooses to take of the
troubles in South Carolina, and it suggests that
those who are urging congress to pass the ku-
klux and military supervision bill should task
themselves if their kin and color in the south
are not better entitled to sympathy and protec-
ton than the New England squatters and their
black allies" There can be no difficulty in
answering this question. Those who need pro-
lection are entitled to it, regardless of color or
kinship, and those who are oppressed deserve
sympathy and aid. No legislation that is pro-
posed or suggested for the south is of such a
character that it could not be made available to
punish outrages committed by blacks as
well as by whites. Because the white demo-
Gratis do not need protection, and are
engaged in oppression and outrage, they protest
against the passage of laws designed to secure
order and personal safety to all.
mo rogue ere felt the halter draw
With good opinion Of the law"
Whatever opportunity there may be for max
ing the Worlds view of affairs in South Caro-
lima seem plausible, there is none for charging a
similar state of things in Kentucky or North
Carolina upon colored people or carpet-baggers.
The democrats have complete control of both
those states, and we see what use they make OF
it, and what protection they afford to peaceable
citizens. Some one in Kentucky has had the as
surance to ascribe the outrages there TO radicals
in disguise; but the Courier Journal, demo
cratic paper, ridicules the idea, asserting, what
no one can doubt, that the democratic legislature
would in that case make short work with them
instead of looking on with indifference.
The problem presented by the present condi.
ton of the south is very difficult and perplex-
ing 1t would be relieved of its greatest difficult
ties if northern people of all parties would,
looking at the facts as they are regard the ques-
ton as social and not a political one, and
unite in insisting that the people of those states
whether democrats or republicans, shall con.
duct themselves as members of civilized com
munity, and allow everybody to exercise freely
all his political and civil rights. So long as it i,
one of the ayowed or secret principles of the
democratic party that its political opponents
have no rights that its members are bound to
respect, the laws if just, cannot be in theory or
in their practical enforcement indifferent be-
tween the two political parties. If democratic
papers and politicians, north and south, would
regard these matters as the Louisville Courier
Journal does, the kuklux would be very short
lived.
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-03-17

Among the reasons given by Mr.. Butler for de-
Ginning to act with the committee to investigate
the state of affairs at the south is, that this
measure was forced upon the republicans
against the decision of majority of that party
in duly called caucus" In his remarks in the
house yesterday he insisted upon the same
reason for condemning the action of those
members who voted for the resolution. This
theory OF the obligations of party discipline is
new, or, if propounded before, it has never been
generally accepted. II would transfer the power
of legislation to a majority of caucus, which
might be a small minority of the whole house.
A caucus to make nominations stands on very
different footing, and the obligation to subordi-
nate individual preferences to its de-
cision rests upon other grounds, though
even this obligation is sometimes found
too onerous to be borne. caucus to
consider legislative measures is only a council
in which views may be compared, and, if posi-
Bile, harmonized, unity of action secured, if
that can be DONE and if not, at least such an un-
derstanding arrived at as will make it appear
whether the contemplated measure has a pros
pect of success in any form that can be given to
it, or whether the party is SO divided in their
opinions of its merits that it must be abandoned.
In his attempt to enforce the decisions of a eau
Gus in such matters, by the obligations of party
discipline, General Butler had no supporters,
and the attempt failed, as it deserved.
