VERSAILLES, December ION. Ia
chard, counsel for MarshaT Bazine, in
his perOratiOn, said: II deeply SYM
pathize with the valiant soldier, over
whelmej by the terrible accusation
l fear no death for him. He is brave
and fears nothing but the loss Of his
honor, for the sake of his wife and
children. I feel most for France,
which will deplOre the loss of this
valiant soldier Your honor and pa
triotism forbids that yOu condemn
him. You know what political trials
raised a statute to those executed af-
ter such trials
NJ. PourCct replied, demanding
that a terrible example be made as q
lesson to the rising generation.

zaine said: Il have two words in my
breast honor and country; 1 have

motto during forty-twO years Of SER
vice. l swear before Christ that l

After a long deliberatiOn the Judges
declared Bazaine guilty of the capitula-
ton of Metz and the army in the open
field, without doing all that was pre-
scribed by honor and duty to avoid
surrender, and unanimously con-
demned him to death aud to be de-
graded from his rank previous to his
execution.

The taxpayers of the United States
have n cheerful prospect before them.
The old and pernicious stamp tax on
deeds, mortgages, notes, etc, are
likely to be restored. Besides the
duty on tea and coffee is to be raised;
also the tax on WHISTLES, tobacco, rail
roads, insurance, telegraph and eX-
press companies are likely to be in
creased. All this is as much a tax on
the people as if directly levied. The
assertion of the administration organs
to the contrary notwithstanding, the
public debt has increased nearly fifty
million dollars, and the people must
be taxed accordingly. The trath is
the financial policy of the administra-
ton is failure. Reform within the
Republican party is impossible. The
only hope of the country lies in a
change OF rulers. The people should
understand this fact and act accord
ingly.

The great naturalist, Prof. Agass:z,
died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on
Sunday last. He was in his Goth year
and had been a resident of the United
States 81 years. His was one of the
greatest minds Of the century. In an
article on his death the Memphis APP
peal SAYS: "IIis influence in the de
velopment of science i'm the United
States has been profound and far
reaching, and will be felt for years TO
come, perpetUatCd, rs it will be, by

The Secretary of the Treasury has
written n letter to Mr.. Dawes, chair
man of the House committee on ways
and means. The letter is in cxplana-
ton of his report which recommends
increased taxation. In the letter we
find the following significant state
ment:
The public debt was increased by
demands which couid not be avoided
during the month of November to the
extent of over nine million dollars,
and it is apparent that it will be still
further increased during the current
month by many millions; while the
coin receipts are but little more than
sufficient to pay the interest on the
public debt and other coin exPcudi-
lures.
This statement settle, the question
of an early resumption Of specie pay
mcnt, and, shows that the boosted re-
duction of the public debt is mere
myth.

The QUALIFY OF iron.

A most important fact in regard TO the quaaity
of iron has lately been established. Until lately
it has been generally conceded that English IRON
was superior to American, and it brought rather
higher figures in the market
On several OCCASIONS, however, 1t has been
claimed that IRON manufactured in Pennsyl'ania
had been found to be of a tougher and more dura-
be and valuable quality than the English iron.
An additional evidence OF this important mat-
ter has Just been brought to light by the sad mis-
fortune that has befallen the "White Star" line OF
English Isteamers, IN comparing the terrible
wreck OF the vessel which occurred from running
upon rocks with a somewhat similar accident that
befell steamship belonging TO Mr.. Clyde form
erly of this State This ship was run upon the
reefs on the coast of Florida, aud she withstood
he pounding for fifteen hours and was drawn on
almost un,njured' She was built in this city oi
American iron, it is said, chiefly made in Pennsyl
vania.
No doubt the excellency Of the work, as well as
the quality of the ron greatly in favor of the
Wilmington built vessel.
This comparison speaks volumes IN favor q
our citr Here is n lose by bad iron and lad
work. of precious lives that is appalling 10 reflect
upon. and loss OF about a million and half OF
dollars, which perhaps would no; have occurred if
the Atlantic had been built in Wilmington, oi
PENNSYLVANIA iron instead of at Belfast of English
iron.

Usury Laws.

In almost every one Of the United States the
question as to the rate of interest on money in
vested or loaned is now under discussion In
m1ny, the Legislatures have been called upon TO
pass laws on the subject, and some have declared
that the rate sha be six per cent, unless special
agreement makes it eight per cent, or less others
have voted the whole enactment doWn by the
weight Of the county m SmbeFs. This detsfmina-
tion to keep those who borrow money in the
hands Of lenders at ten per cent.-Which rate thew
have perfect right TO get If money is worth ii

"Ihat every actor in and promoter OF the recent
tegisiation which, disregardihg the great burden

now seriously affecting all classes Of business, with

This describes in appropriate language one OF
the most scandalous transactions in our history
There is one fact connected with the affair how
ever which has not yet been presented to the peo-
pie with sufficient force ana prominence. This
TACT Is that President GRANT personally exerted
his influence with members of Congress to secure
the passage of the bull He lobbied for the IN
crease of his own salary. He had agreed to serve
Us President for $4,000 a year, but forgetting
that he was bound IN honor by such agreement,
he went TO members of Congress and besought

what 1t costs to Manufacture Cas-

In England, through the action OF ParliAmen-
tary commissions and gas consumers associa-
tions, great progress has been made in curbing
the extoriouate demands of the gas companics
The first important step TO reform in this dlree-
tion Yas made in lS4S by Joseph Hume, who
moved for returns TO be made showing the prices
at which gas was made and sold, and the dividends
made by the gas companies. Commissioners ap-
pointed hy Parliament investigated the subject
thoroughly, visiting the principal towns ia Eng
land In search of information, and published a
report stating that the cost of making 1000 cubic
feet Of gas, including the cost of transmitting il
from the gasometer To the consumer, and interest
on the capital invested, should not In those DAYS
exceed shillings 2s% pence. Since then inn
provements in the manufacture have been made
BY which II can be afforded at still lower rates,
and shillings per 1000 feet is the price al which
the South Metropolitan Company ia London now
actually supplies IT'S customers. In Manchester
in 1859 the price of gas was shillings per 1000
feet The people got up an agitation, and nlli-
mately succeeded in forcing the price down TO
shillings pence per 600 feet, and at Tue redu-
ced price the profits on this gas Ia the year 1872
amounted TO more than S2G0O0O

ORGANIZING.

The negroes of Philadelphia, have called meet
ings and commenced to organize political nssocia-
tions in each ward. Each association is TO num-
Der 400 voters Wards that do not contain 400 ne
gro voters are to unite with other wards in order
to make up clubs of that number. Their expressed
grievance is that they have been excluded from
their proportiouatc share of the offices. In the
meeting held on Thursday night, tae chief orator
of the evening, after stating the object Of the
meeting and proposing the plan Of organization,
said that while in Wilmington the negroes had
been given the POSITIONS in the Post-ofce as let
ter carriers, in Philadelphia they were only found
as turnkeys. In alluding to the matter the Press
takes the side of the negroes. 1t says:
''The colored citizens Of Pkiladelphis, who have
acted as q body with The Republican party from
the first opportunity they had TO exercise their
political rights, and without whom il probably is
IN a legal minority, have organized to secure
share of the public patronage aud offices. They
complain, and with justice, that they have been
entirely ignored by the politicians who solicited
their services with 90 much anxiety last fall.
While the great numbtr OF good citizens and
honest Republicans care nothing whatever about
the scramble for Office, they also believe in the
theory Of equal righ's in parties as well as in gov
ernments. PTeiadices should have no part in the
distribution of the loaves and fishes" -
What say the Republicans of Delaware to that
sentiment 1t will have to be adopted in Phiia-
dslphia or the negroes will abstain from voting
the Radical ticket. The same course it is likely
viii 10 adopted in Delaware, aud before another
election takes place the eolored element in our
State viii have to be taken into full fellowship or
the Radical party viii cease to exist for without
the four or ave thousand votes which they have
- A.
so hopsles.ly in ths minority that there would be
no hope for success, and Its continuance as a
party IS only caused by the official patronage ii
has to bestoW-patrOnage acquired solely by the
aid of the negro voters Without this aid the
party could not carry single hundred in this
State. RS
