WHY GARyEY REPURNED.-The Times says
a friend of Garvey in high official position,
had conversation with him upon the subject,
the other day. Garvey told him that when he
left the city he went to Europe with his wife,
and they both travelled to Switzerland. After
short sojourn in Europe, Mrs. Carney became
home-sick, and leaving him behind, sailed for
New York Carney then went on an extern
sive tour of the Continent travelling every
where, he says, under his own name, and being
separated from wife he loved dearly, he was
wretchedly unhappy. About four weeks ago
in response to the call of Mrs. Garvey, he re-
turned to the city, and since that time has been
living in retirement in his house in Forty-sey-
enth-street, near Fifth Avenue. Garyey as
sured his friend that he had had no personal
understanding with Attorney General Barlow.
or any of the prosecution but had simply de-
termined to tell all he knew and give up every
dollar he owned if necessary to insure the priv,
ilege of living in the home Of his childhood,
with the woman of his choice in peace and hap
piness. Said he: II can go back to work
again at my trowel if should lose all that l
possess, and | am now perfectly resigned to ac-

The proposal to establish a bank in New
York, with a capital of from five to ten millions
of dollars, to be subscribed by the National
Banks in the country, and having special ref
erence to furnishing facilities for moving the
crops and produce, is looked upon by not few
to be big scheme to monopolize the grain and
provision trades, and to leave the people at the
mercy of a knot of thirty-tive to fifty per cen
tiers connected with banks and railroads. The
apprehension is very probably just one.

IT would be singular spectacle to see great
maritime nation like the United States pur-
chasing its ships of other countries, and leav-
ing its own shipyards to go to ruin. And yet
this is what we are coming to unless Congress
can be made to see the necessity of relieving
the great industry Of shipbuilding from the bur
dens laid uponit. Tired of waiting for revi-
val of our commerce, tired of seeing our carry
ing done by foreign bottoms, many are getting
ready to accept the alternative of purchasing
instead of building. And yet more suicidal
policy could not be pursued. Think of the folly
OF giving this great industry to foreign nations,
and buying of them what we could better build
ourselves! AS well might our farmers let the
fields go unsown and look to other countries

The following editorial by Mr..
Forney, written Immediately after
his late return to. Philadelphia, is
regarded there as the most signii-
cant OF any since bis resignation
| Glittering audiences always attend
the Senatoria! drama, and General
Carl Sclurz attracted an unusual
crowd in his display Of Tuesday. Be-
sides, we must remember that WASH
inyton city is filled with 81 large body
of rebel citizens. The truth is that
the former Southern society has re-
turned to its old haunts, and any
thing that operates against the Re-
publican party and its success is sure
to attract them. We are far from
believing that General Schurz is i'll
sympathy with the Democratic par
ty. He is too old and too brave /.
soldier against slavery. That his
animosities have carried him astray,
We have no doubt that he is dis
posed to look at the alleged sale of
arms to the French government with
unusual jealously is natural. B t
that, with all his free trade and oil =
nesty proclivities, he has ever inten,
ed to join the political enemy, we 10
not believe. The present agitati n
in Republican circles is simply the
clearing Of the atmosphere no il
dication of weakness, but good
sign Of strength, of reorganization,
that can permit the fullest investiga-
ton into alleged errors. even into
the errors of those who are accepted
as its leaders. Suppose the Demo-
cratic party in the day of it's suprem-
est power had invited as full an in
vestlgation into the acts of its Lead
ers, how long would it have lasted?
1t should be remarked in reference
to the exciting proceedings at Wash
ington, that all the committee of in
vcstigation have been originated by
Republicans, and that no Republi-
can has yet been found willing to de-
clare himself against the Republi-
can nominee for President in 1872.
In every case there is Difference to
the ultimate tribunal. They ques-
ton, they even quarrel, but no one
Republican with all his suspicion
and hostility to General Grant or
to his Cabinet ministers, or his pri-
vate secretaries, has yet been found
bold and brave enough to declare
his readiness to oppose the next
nominee for President.

Farmers Club.

We copy the following timely ar-
ticle from the Union Record, and
hope to see the advice, contained in
the same, followed by our planters
and farmers
In the Claiborne Aduocate, we no.
tico proposition from one Of it's
subscribers to form u farmers club
at Homer. We have suggested q
similar club here, and elsewhere in
this parish, years ago. There should
be such a club in every farming
community both to interchange
views and discuss different crops,
and the modo Of culture, as well as
to consider plans for united action
in many matters relative to their in
terest. While farmers are the main
pillars of society and the support of
the world, it is Il fact that their cal
ling is behind every other in progress
and improvement. Every other
trade and profession has its organi-
cations, its rules concerning work
and prices. its cooperative unions,
but us Il general thing, the farmers
move along, every man for himself,
with more or less prejudice against
experiments and new things, and
thereby frequently suffer from COM
binations of other callings against
them. This does not arise from IL
lack of intelligence, for farmers, us a
class, are, generally, intelligent men :;
but it arises from lack of enterprise
and IL proper appreciation of the inn
portance OF united action. Farmers,
too, are more welded to custom and
precedent than other men. Show

Dor, and he will at once try it, and
ii it is Il success, he ut once adopts
it. But SHOW a farmer !. new pillow,

No man is SO wise, but that he
may learn something from any other
man. Now, Il Saturday evening,
spent once or twice Il mouth, which
is frequently spent far less protitably,
could be turned to good account by
the farmers Of every community, in
discussing and giving their several
views aud experiments i'll raising
their different crops, stock, etc.
Such q club as this would need a
suitable constitution and bylaws,
president, secretary treasurer. In
this country, lack Of experience in
these things, might prevent the put
ting OF these things exactly in "ship-
shape ut first, but experience would
soon suggest the necessary amend-
monts and alterations. The appoint

| as great change ns did that of iron
The immense strength Of steel admits
of corresponding reduction in
weight SO that u steel steamer will
carry twice as much dimension.
Thus II very few iron and steel ves-
sells do as much transportation us IL
large fleet of wooden ones did Il few
years ago; there is, therefore, u small
ler demand for vessels according to
the well established laws of supply
and demand. Another very impor-
tant fact is that we manufacture here
ut home q vastly increased proper
ton of what we consume than for
merly, consequently we import less,
and there is II smaller demand for
vessels than formerly, as a matter Of
course.
Steam and iron have entirely
changed the nature of commercial
matters, and with the severe check
given us by the late civil war our
ocean trade has experienced the de-
cine which we are now suffering.
