ABOUT "CRABs. .'-Geo. Pittman, Full ton Co.,, Pa., has discovered that springs winch generally dry up in summer, may be made to run all the time by turning in some crabs. We suppose he means craw-fsh; or fresh-watercrabs. He says these animals follow up the streams beneath the ground and make an outlet for the water. Thus even crabs or craw- fish have their uses.

ToBAoco.-The Ways and Means Com mittee of the United States House decided to report bill fixing the tax on to- bacco at 16 cents and 24 cents. The tax on smoking tobacco is therefore un- changed, and that on chewing tobacco is reduced from 32 cents to "A cents. The Committee were not unanimous in their report, but there is no doubt that it will pass the House. The meaning of it is that smoking tobacco is regarded as not being able to stand the higher tax.

WHY IS NOT THE BRITISH CASE PUB- LIsHED.-The American Government has published it's case in the Alabama dis pute. That exceedingly clear, simple, well-argued document is in the hands not only of Americans, but it has been sent to many Englishmen-to the more important English journals, for instance. Accordingly we all know what the Ameri- can pretensions are, and how they are supported. But the public knows noth- ing of the British case. We gather from the columns of the IEmes, indeed. that the editor of that journal has seen it, but he tells us very little about it's contents, clear. Is there any reason why we should also i? Of course, if propriety or eti- quette forbids its publication, there is no more to be said but we can hardly suppose that any such difficulty now stands in the way of our knowing what the Government is doing in so momen- tuous matter, and the publication of the American case is of itself reason why the British case should not be with held from public knowledge.-Eaaelsh Paper.
 SHOOTING aBUFFAnoEs.-The following letter has been received by Mir. Bergh in reference to the slaughter of buffaloes, from Lt.-Col. Brackett of the United States army:
 SIR: have read with great deal of interest the letters of Gen. Hagen to you respecting the needless killing of buffa- 'loes. What he says is strictly true, and there is asmuch honor and danger in killing Texan steer as there is in killing buffalo. All the reports about fine sport and good shooting are mere gam mon it would be equally as good sport and equally as dangerous to ride into a herd of tame cattle and commence shoot ing indiscriminately. The wholesale butchery of buffaloes upon the plains is as needless as it is cruel. Hundreds and hundredssof them have been killed in the most wanton manner, or for their tongues alone. It is time that something should be done for their protection, and I trust you will make on effort to have Congress dnterfere in their behalf. It is an abuse Eof language to call the killing of harm less and defenceless buffaloes "sport." !"

even approximate amount collected from
taxes. We say 80, Mr.. Union. upon
your authority and that Of Gov. SCOTT,
which should be relied upon by you, at
least.
Last winter, during tho session of the
Legislature, you excused and justified
the issuing of bonds by the Financial
Board, upon the ground that the extra.
VACANT expenditures made by the Gene.
raj Assembly necessitated the raising OF
additional funds by means Of the hypo-
thecation and sale of bonds. Gov. Scott,
in his message. says in substance the
same thing. 1t was poor and invalid
excuse. Mr.. Union, but you and Gov.
Scott made it. Now, if Parker returned
the money advanced by Kimpton, when
the taxes we're paid in, allowing, for the
sake OF argument, that he had the pro-
per authority to do 80, what is TO become
OF the S11,O0O,000 of bonds issued
Where has that money gone to. Mr..
O"ion9 Will you please answer us. We
defy you to show it. Do not try now to
avoid the issue, but come squarely to
the point. Our charge is, that if Parker
paid Kimpton from taxes. as you main
tain, then the proceeds of the 81, 600, 900
of bonds we're unlawfully applied. or
stolen by Parker and the rest of the
ring; and if Kimpton was not paid by
moneys received from taxes. then Par
ker and the ring have stolen or unlaw-
fully disbursed $4,000. 600, plus the sur
plus received from the sale of the bonds
over and above the amounts advanced
by Kimpton. You may we'll say, Mr..
Union, though you utter it in jeering
tone. that the taxpayers ought to
move" We will conclude this by re-
marking, and when the taxpayers do
move, you and Parker and those of your
kind will haze to move, and that right
briskly.

GREENyILLE, 5. C., Aug. 5, 1872.
EDITOR PHOENIX: A very large con-
course of Democratic Liberal Republi-
cans, from oil parts of the County. as-
sembled in mass meeting, to-day, in the
Court House. DR.. o. B. Irvine was
called to the Chair. and G. G. Wells was
appointed Secretary. Spirited resolu-
tions, confirmatory of Greeley and
Brown, and for organizing vigorous
campaign in their favor, were introduced
by Col. 8. s. Crittenden. Stirring and
pertinent speeches on the resolutions
were made by ex.Gov. B. F. Perry, z.
P. Jones, Gen. Nj. o. Butler, J. W.
Stokes. James P. Moore, T. O. Donald
son, Rev. A. @. Stepp, j. b. MoOul,
Tough and T. B. Ferguson. The resolu-
tions and speeches were received with
enthusiasm.
During the meeting, our eminent fell
low-citizen Mr.. Edward T. Stokes, of
Baltimore boiling memory, found it con-
venient to hsrangue the outside crowd
in the street from the steps of the old
Court House, Immediately opposite the
grand meeting. Having delivered him
self of what he calls q Democratic speech,
in which he denounced Greeley, he re-
ceived the plaudits of and was kindly
taken in charge by the adherents of
Grant and Wilson. As he has chosen
his own position, perhaps no harm will
ensue either to the State or nation, or to
the forthcoming Louisville Convention
whose nominee for Vice.President he
has been generally understood to be.
The Federal Court will probably con.
vene Wednesday. NJ.

knee at the Court of Csnute Ulysses
spoke to the people at Wilmington. He
said:
"Give us victory here, and We will
carry twenty-seven of the States. I con-
fess it fairly, if you Republicans will
give US victory here, that there will be
no more fghting-we will canter over
the field. But if you allow Demoora-
tic victory, you will put burden bn our
shoulders which will make us stagger.
We may stand defeat. but it will cost us
months of labor and toll to recover, and
IL aoin then afford a substantial eoidence
that there is dissatisfaction aoith the Admi-
nistrdti0n.
Out Of their own mouths, we will &C
cept the verdict. North Carolina has
spoken; and her thunder tones have bid
the ribnld Canute fly before the sea of
angry freemen he has hidden stand.
The lesson to the cruel despot and his
bringing satellites is too plain to be
missed; and in their pride of place and
their power of money they still must
feel that the words are spoken that shall
rise and swell into roar to deafen and
alright them, until few short months
hence, it changes to the joyous p,can of
victory.

The NEXT ELECTIONS. The next State
elections of Importance are those in
Vermont on September 3. and in Maine
on September 8. In the former State,
in 1870, the Republican majority was
21.3O9. upon a total vote of 45. 1926. In
Maine. in 1871, the whole vote was
1o6.883, and the Republican majority
1851. Vermont is expected to go Re-
publican next month as usual; but Maine
may be carried by the Liberals, if the
desertions from Grant continue. It is
too early, however, to make any positive
calculations as to the chances of the
fight. Elections will also be held in
New Mexico on the 1st and in California
on the I'd of September.

CAMPAIGN NOTEs.-Senator Sumner
has had several thousand copies of his
recent letter to colored men printed for
distribution among his friends, numbers
of whom have sent to him for copies. 1t
is printed in pamphlet form, the title
page bearing the following appropriate
text: II will say to the North, give up;
and to the South, keep not back. -
Isaiah xiii. s. The Liberal Republican
Committee are having the letter, accom-
panied by Gen. Banks letter, printed
for distribution in Maine, where also the
Radical committee are extensively oirou-
lating Speaker Blaine's reply as set-off.
A letter from Petersburg, Va, says the
colored people are reading Summers let
ter with eagerness, and that it will have
great effect upon them.
1t is curious question what has be-
come of all that 1926, 900 sent to North
Carolina. Did they cave part against
November, or spend all on the State
election, calculating to spond as much
more in the fall? AS things stand, they
will hardly think it worth while to spend
anything moro on that ground. All the
fertilizers in the Augean stable at Wash
ington won't make the soil of North Ca
rolina sprout pens in season for thePre :
sidential picnic.
Horace Greeley's life is insured for
$3.50, 900. It would take more than that
to insure his election Radical paper.
Grants election was insured for 1926
600 in North Carolina, and how much
elsewhere will never be known any more
than the precise condition of the Con-
federate finances; for there will be re-
gular Chicago burst-up among the in
suranoe rings in November.
Twenty of the gentlemen whose names
were used at the late Cooper Institute
Grant meeting oppose Grant, and favor
the election Of Greeley. They may OK
pect soon to see their names in the Times
black list.
Aivices from Nashville assure us that
Greeley will sweep Tennessee by tho
lurgest majority any man ever obtained
in the State.
Advices from Texas report the canvass
as unusually quiet, for the apparently
good reason that zone may travel whole
week and not find Grant voter" Except
