- work of undoubted authenticity:


1t must in fairness be considered that many
companies have failed from time to time, wip-
ing out not only profit but capital; and these,
if allowance were made for them, would re-
duce tho average of dividends materially. In
other cases, mills which cost S1,OOO,OW having
failed, the wreck was bought for onc-half to
one-foulth of its cost, and the subsequent diyl-
dends were paid on the reduced crazeed)
capital, though this was less than half the cost.
In all cases where stock dividends were made,
these are counted as cash.
Estimated by decades, the profits of manu-
featuring in NewEngland, thus sweIcd in ap-
pcarance, not in truth, were as follows:
From 1920 to 1890, shade oyer....-.- n per cent.
From 1890 TO 1870, just .-.---lO per cent
From 1910 to 1850, hardly. u per cent.
From 1850 TO 1860, fraction over. 81 per cent.
From 1860 to 1870, not quite. per cent.
We suggest that this table be preserved
for reference. 1t is important that the truth
should be known.

We pray Congress to take no half measures
in their restoration of American Commerce
No measure can at once restore what is lost,
and satisfy the interests and the dignity of the
nation, which will not create an instant and n
permanent demand for American ships in
every port OF the world whence dutiable goods
are sent to the United States An American
Navigation Act, the counterpart of the British
Navigation Act, will do this oflcctually. 1t
will within twelve months restore commerce
TO the United States, and within ten years
give the Americans supremacy in the COM
merce OF The world.

No more significant evidence of the disinte-
grafton of the once powerful Iammany org ~
ization could be presented than that aiiofded
in the curious phases of the Democratic pm
mary elections to-day. There are two for
midable rival factions in the city, and, IN
some districts, three tickets will be run. The
fight for the leadership is likely to be bitter
and heated.

Tho editor of Tie Animosa (IOwal Eureka com
placently INDUCES in "Reminiscences In 1884, "hch
a vote was taken in Iowa on the question Oh aIlo"-
ing colored citizens the elective privilege nc adVo
Gated their enfranchisement to the great disgust
of numerous Republicans" Only two hundred
votes were given in favor Of the right I'VE suppose
in Jones County,, and only one township Wayne,
cast majority for it, And now the State OF Iowa,
which voted down negro suffrage in 1884, sends
colored man, Alexander Clark of Muscatine, as
delegate at largo to the Philadelphia Convention.
1t may possibly be discovered, in good tn'e,
that the negrophobia which SO long controlled
all our social arrangements had, after all, lts origin
not in any normal repugnance to the African race,
but in tho contempt which theinstutlon OF slavery
necessarily engendered. Men asserted the dignity
and excusiyeness of their own personal freedom Dy
despising those wbo for generations had been en-
slayed or if not actually in bondage, had been de-
barred from political rights and the opportunities
Of social success If the prejudice shall ultimately
disappear, with what wonder Will our descendants
read Of the malicious obstinacy with which 1t was
cherished

Whatever may be thought of the scheme of civil
service reform proposed by the Hon. George W. Nc
Crary of Iowa, there can be no question that Mr..
McCrary has pretty good idea of the nature of
civil service abuses. The worst evil of the present
system is not incomp0toncy, bar political proscrip-
tion 81 hold" says he, that the power of making
vacancies at any time and without cause in order to
fill them with personal friends or as reward for
services to party, is the great source of all the diff
fculty" He proposes, therefore, an amendment TO
the Constitution providing that all civil officers ex-
cept federal judges heads of departments, and those
whose duties are OF temporary character, shall
hold Office for four years, unless longer term be
fixed by law; that postmasters and certain others
may be elected by tho people; and that removals
shall be made by the President only for cause. Mr..
McCrary objects to competitive examinations alto

In Pittsburgh, Pa. last Sunday evening, the Young
Mems Christian Association held religious meeting
in the thea.er, and singular sort of sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr.. Van De Mark. God"
said this gentleman, has given to man two means
Of exhibiting emotion not given to any other being,
viz, laughing and crying; an endowment with these
gifts warrants their exercise" The stage properly
regulated, the preacher considered mot only the
best vehicle of amusement but less Objectionable
than many others which very strict folks
tolerate" He alluded TO games prccticed III what
is called good society which "necessitate oscula-
tory exercise" and which he considered repre-
hensiblo than any theatrical performance. The
dram atsts he thought. in Il majority of cases. ncul-
Gated good morals, for they punished wee and re-
waried virtue. He insisted that theaters with all
their faults, would continue to be moro attractive
than the churches. until preachers learn to throw
into their words and actions earncstness equal 10
that displayed by actors In short, Ar. Van DE
Mark preached such sermon that we think the
manager Of the theater ought not TO have charged
ANYTHING for the Use Of the house.

The death of tho Hon. Erastus Corning
closes the career of one of the most remark
able men who have made New-York their
adopted State. His enterprising spirit con-
tribu,ed to the advancement of her industrial
resources and to the completion of that great
railroad system which has so largely promoted
preGmineDce Of this Empire City The senti-
ments of the people are appropriately ox-
pressed in the respect to his memory by
various public bodies Of the State.

The oucrulOus complaint that the Senate
Committee investigating the sales of arms to
France elicit nothing worth attention must be
modified Here we have one of the Presidents
numerous military attaches acknowledging to
the ownership Of stock in an arms manufac-
turing company; and Mr. Peek, an arms pur-
chasing agent, brings forward lady, ono
Mrs Mason, who was reputed to have great
influence in the Ordnance Bureau and VINO
did actually make an application i'll his behalf.
We have already heard Of Mrs. Davis as
lobby agent both ladies were failures, 1t ap-
pears; but the story unwillneiy told by Mr.
Peck suggests new vein of inquiry, and we
are in fair way to find out what manner of
influence is most used at the Ordnance Bureau
Most of the reports 2f the Committee Of
Fifty of Brooklyn on the pubic Affairs OF that
city have been merely suggestive, bat pain
fally so. That on the Bridge, which we tpub-
lish elsewhere, is not singular in this respect,
and contains intimatiOns of what may prove,
in the thorough investigation which we hope
TO see afOo without delay, serious frauds.
Managed by The great municipal Rings OF the
cities at either terminus, it was hardly to be
expected that corruption would not creep in.
Enough is already indicated to warrant imme-
date inquiry in order to relieve those impi-
Gated OF suspicion, or the two cities, which
subscribe oiDe-tenths of the capital and have
only a minority representation III its control
Of the Directory which mismanages the affairs
of the bridge and misappTopriates, as is
alleged, the capital Of the Company.

The Rerier printed by the undergraduates OF the
College in Wiamstown is wise enough TO say:
Young men in crowds, the world over, though per-

characterized by an utter lack of respect either
for themselves or others. This is
especially observable in College" This Is
opinion to which even,a Professor of Logic would
feel no inclination to object, do to the fol-
lowing conclusion nrrived at by the Hon. l.. c.
Benedict, in the same number: 1t is sometimes
SAID with much emphasis, that there are too many
of these degrees conferred. Why too manyf Are
there too many BechelorN of Arts This depends

tlIe recent tromb.ings of the earth in the
Pacific States of this Republic and in Syria
with the present eruption of yesuvus, though
the data on which any plausible theory can be

The report on the Judiciary Investigation,
presented last night to the Bar Association
and published on another page, sets forth
with startling distinctncss the enormities
committed by Judges Barnard and Cardozo
and the baneful effects which have resulted
from their ma1administraton of justice. 1t is
difficult to SEQ how the Judiciary Committee
can fail to advocate the impeachment OF men
guilty of such abuses as nave been proved

Whatever NAV be true of other charges
AGAINST the Navy Department-and not one

have been specifically made, but, like oil the
Others emauating from the same source, they
have utterly broken down. 1t scarcely needed
Yesterdays evidence TO establish this fact.

HIGH FREIGHTS.
NEW YORK, August IA, 1872.

NEW YORK. August IA, 1872.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your issue OF this morning you call the alton
ton of our merchants and capitalists to the great
lack OF cheap facilities for bringing grain to our
market, also to the great rivalry which other and
much lesser cities are exertng to get this trade.
II is well known that the rates OF freight from the
Far West to the metropolis by rail are so enormous
as to exceed In amount the price which the pro-
Queer realizes for his grain when one-haf this rate
OF freight should suffice to bring It to u.s. This ID
owing partly to the mOnOp0lies to which some OF
our incoming railroads are subjected, and partly to
the inactivity OF our business men to arise in their
might and use their endeav0rs to protect the West
ern shippers, which last should he our pride. for
they are most certainly our friends and those TO
city.
our boards of trade should have committees
continually upon the alert to obtain the very lowest
possible feights making occasional reports OF their
observations and successes to the different orga-
nza t which they represent and by this means
and shipper, but alike convince them that we were
attempting to work for their interests. We should
not then be subject to the derisive remarks rs to
our utter indifference TO their welfare.
Perhaps but few have become aware OF the i'm
mense amount OF grain and -four which other cities
have within the past lew years drawn away from
New York. and you do well to call attention TO this
matter. and all our journals should call public at
tentiOn to this state OF AFFAIRS and the Immediate
demand for this great work-the Niagara ship
canal
You call attention to the city or OswegO, which
has large facilities for handling grain, having ten
immense elevators, with storage capacity OF
100000 bushels and has In past times been very
large shipping port from the lakes to New York
The Canadas are now mOnopOlizlng this OswegO
trade. and IL all passes through their own canal
the Welland-around Niagara Falls through their
own ports to Liverpool, via Quebec. am told that
In one elevator in OswegO, which last year received
dui Ing the month OF juno thirty-twO carg0es OF
but an item, but must impress upon your mind the
necessities OF business men of New York looking
about them and exerting themselves to keep what
they have got and increase the Inducements for
Western men to pour the golden grain into our
hands. g.
