OF blankets, then tho corn, which In the first
placo had a value Of 20 cents por bushol, ls re-
duced to loss than IL cents por buaho1. The In
creased consumption OF corn by tho mon engaged
in tho woolen mill is discovered to be q dolu-
sion, because it is found that people cat as
much under Iono tariff as under another
whether working in wooden mill or out OF it
and that it makes no difference to the farmer
whether his market is at bis own door or on the
other side Of the globe, provided he sells his corn
and gotB his blankets.
But tho cost Of transportation Bays some one.
Well, the moment tho cost Of transportation be-
comes greater than the cost Of the tariff (dls-
tance and tariff being simply two obstacles be-
tween producer and consumer, tho one natural
md the other artiaciaD, that moment the home
manufacture will spring up. The theory Of tho
tariff is, that, after paying all transportation
charges, there is still 50 to 80 per cent advantage
in exchanging tho corn for the foreign blanket
which must be offset by d tax. II the farmers
are in earnest thoy will strike for this 90 or 8o
per cent and get it. It is their earnings Why
shouldn't they hare it?

Judge Lawrence has been asked, in letter
signed by nearly every lawyer i'll tho thirteen
counties comprising lis district, to allow. his
namo to be presented az candidate for re-olec-
ton to the bench of file Supreme Court. The
Judge, in his acceptance, refers to tho proposed
Convention at Princeton to nominate his sue
sessor, and says that, whatever his personal
feelings might he, he has no choice but to.
accept tho denomination. For the first time III the
history OF the, elective. Judiciary Of this
State, it is proposed that Judges shall. bo'
elected BY one class Of the people for the
arowed purpose Of. deciding particular quos-
tions in a preodained ray II this ia to become
the rlo Of Judicial elections, judicial purity and
with it ali onr civil rights, must disappear. He
says the great body Of: farmers must already
have become convinced that the decision in the
Chicago & Alton Railway case was just, and
that they of all classes must not seek to
degrade the judiciary. As the exponent Of these
views of. the Independence of the Supreme
Court, he consents to become candidate again.

The failure of the New Haven banking firm OF
E. s. Scranton t. Co., proves, now that all the
facts have come out, to be, one OF the worst and
most criminal that we lave had in New England
for years.. The trustee who was appointed to
examine tho books, made his report On Saturday.
It shows plainly the rise and f11l OF the house.
The firm commenced business IN January, 1869,
With a capital OF only 915, 900, but, possessing
the entire confidence Of the community, their
books for the next three years showed con-
stantly increasing: surplus, until the capital
stock; last July, with the surplus, showed assets
Of $228, GOO. Within tho next six. months, how
ever, this entire capital was extingutshed, and
not only this, but $82, 900 more. Where had this
money gone tor These figures tell the story =:
Loss BY speculation in Union Pacific, 9142, 900 !;
Rock Island, SO, 600 Western Union, $40, 900,
DC. Since Jan. there have been mora heavy
losses, and their liabilities to depositors are
about $500, 300, not over s per cent Of which
probably can be paid. Could there be more con-
vinciug proofs Of the folly, not to say the wick
edness, Of stock gambling7 But the worst
feature OF the failure is not the gambling; i is
the fact that knowing the condition Of their
business, the firm continued to receive deposits
up to the very time OF the failure-not from their
friends among the business men Of New Haven,
but from the poor people who trusted implicitly
In their honor. What aha1l be thought Of 4 firm
that, knowing itself on the very eve Of suspen-
sion, received the S700 which constituted poor
colored man's whole fortune2 .

fhE CREDIT EoBH1ER SYSTEM OF RAIL
;. (; ,c.WAY CONSTRUCTION,

There is g prospect that the Credit Nobilier
system Of building railroads ill soon be aban-
doned, There are influences working on all sides
which will combine to this end. The system in
brief Is that which Lissignol. one Of tho Paris
brokers in Nemphis i Ell Paso bonds character-
lied, in his testimony in court, as in
famous, and unknown in Franco,-mort-
gagipg what does not exist. Tho man.
ner ,,of building the Union Pacific Railroad,
which is universally regarded as fraudulent, has
been the prevailing custom in the construction
of American railroads Of late years: First, Il
charter; second, a construction ring; next, tho
ieeuo Of. stock and bonds, which are turned
over to tits ring; then disposal Of the bonds
at discount, with which to obtain funds to
build the road; and, finally, il the road is ever
IN issue Of stock; and so it is found
that th road has been constructed wholly from
money obtained from one set. of men, and
is owned by another set of men. II
the road is successful. it.: is expect
ed to pay the interest on tho bonds, which repre-
sent it's actual cost, and then interest on Tho
caDital stock which never was paid for. but which

The prices obtained Mt the booE-t1ade sale
which is now progressing in New York have de-
ye1oped some curious facts with regard to the
tastes OF book-buyers, and also show that Amer
ican works are not undervalued, in comparison
with foreign, in the estimation Of American
readers at least In osgood & Co.'s publica-
tionB, Longfe1low'a Dante brought the highest
price, and Whittier's Snow-Bound the noxt high
est. It is stated that Edward Everett Ha1e'a
novels ranged with Dickens, and above George
Eliot. Bret Harte brought about the same prices
as Do Quincy, and Howell sold higher even than
Thackeray. Emerson's proso essays sold very
high, bringing s1.5o per volume, while Forster 3
Life Of Landor, much larger work, went OF at
S1.45. These facts rebound as much, however, to
the credit of American patriotism US to Ameri-
can literary taste.

II. Louis Joseph Buffet, the new President Of
tho Chamber, elected, u few days since, in tho
French National Assembly, has been distinguish
ed as a statesman and fnancicr for many years..
In 1850, ho WAS Minister Of Public Works, and
one OF the leaders of the Corps Legisatif, but
Withdrew to private life in 1851, after the coup
d. etat. In 1868, ho was elected to tho Corps
Lcgislatif, although Napoleon violently opposed
his election. He was also at one time Minister
Of Finance, as the successor Of II. Magne. Ho
is represented to be very wealthy, very indus
trious, and very influential.

4 movement has recently been started in the
English Parliament by Lord Houghton, himself
literary man, to establish an order OF merit
for arts, literature, md Bcionce. Tho movement
originated in motion made by Lord Houghton,
asking that literary men bo allowed to wear for
eign decorations. Tho motion aroused the Brit
ish pride somewhat, and gave rise to an Interest,"
ing discussion, In the courAo OF which Lord Stan
hope formerly Lord Mahon, the historian, urged
that tho Crown Was the only fountain OF honor
in England, and that Her Majesty should
be urged to establish an order Of merit, in which
literary ability should be recognized. The
proposition has boen received with considerable
favor in both Houses Of Parliament. There 'are
at present but two orders in England which
carry any special honor with thcm, end to
neither Of these Gun literary men gain adn1is-
sion simply By their literary ability. The
Garter is open only to foreign potentates and
native Peers, and the Bath is monopo1ized by
naval and military heroes. Tho literary men
in England, like Bulwer, Macanlay, md
Herschel, who hare been ennobled, obtained
their reward more by their possession Of landed
estates, and the value of their political services,
than by what they had achieved in literature.
The question which will first suggest itself in
this country is, who, outside the ranks Of the
scientists, with the exception Of Tennyson md
Carlyle, are to receive admission into the new
English Legion Of Honor? Science has some
votaries like Herbert Spencer, Tyndall, Darwin,
Huxley, and others, who are worthy to wear
knightly spurs- But Dickens, ~Thackeray,
Bnlwer, and Jerrold are dead. Who
nre their successora " Would men
like Charles Reado, Wilkie Collins, and Edmund
Yates, who follow these ut such immense dis
tances, be candidates for the decorations of the
new order. II only those who have achieved
great literary distinction vera admitted, the new
order of knighthood would have but sorry fol-
lowing Of knights.

American interests are threatened az well as
those of tho Home Government by the eedition
among the spaniards in Cuba, which the Cap
tain-General fears will end in revolution and the
overthrow Of his power. These spaniards
hate the American Republic only less
than the Spanish Republic, and if they
get the upper hand will, far as they dare, make
it share their hostility against Cuban insurgents
and spanish Republicans. Washington dispatches

BREADSTUFF5 AND BLANKETS.

The Protectionists tell the fa1merB; You
raise corn which you sell at 20 cents bushel.
We erect woolen-min to make cloths, and
blankets, and shawls, and employ in TINT mill q
number Of men, women, and children to run the
machinery, who will all be consumers Of your
corn. But WOODEN cloths, and blankets, and
shawls arc nude in other countries, and can be
sold to you at your nearest town for so cents q
pound; that is cheaper than We can afford to
mako them, and wo haro asked Congress to
place on Buch foreign goods tax OF so per
cent, which will prohibit their sale un-
der 90 cents per. pound. We can thero-
fore mako md sell you cloth, blankets,
and 'shawls at 85 cents per pound. You can then
bring your corn to our mill and exchange it for
blankets, receiving a pair Of blankets Weighing
9pounds for as174 bushels OF corn, which corn
We pay out to-our operatives at q small advance,
in return for their labor, and nc thus furnish
you home market Of actual consumers for your
corn. Tho protection Of 80 per cent you have
votodto uB against the paupcr labor Of Europe
enables us to build mp home industry, give you
home market for your products, and add to tho
ganeral prosperity. The farmers who we're
whced!ed BY this proposition In 1867 are beginning
to inquire into tho relative advantages of this
arrangem The prico Of their acm remains
precisely the same, the home market Offering
no more for it than is offered elsewhere and
they think that if they could get pair Of
blankets weighing pounds for s4.50, or 2211G
bushels Of corn, in any market, it would be q
better price for their corn than if they gave s8A
buahels for the same blankets. II. the home
market can only give . pounds Of blankets for
38A bushels Of corn, and some other market
offers them 1915 pounds Of blankets for tho
same amonnt Of corn, then the other market
offers them o decidedly better price for their
corn. The value Of corn is to be computed by
the quantity OF other things it will buy. II 100
bushels Of corn will buy 40 pounds OF blankets;
and Congress 1evies tar whereby it will require
ITO buehels Of corn to purchase the same Feieht
