COyFPSSED ATLAST.

L. has been charged repeatedly that tie
gro .sest of corruption has been practiced in
the management! of the government of the
District of Columbia. Bat the Republi-
cans we're always ready with denial, and
had a very plausible way Of putting their
denial. But the thing was too rotten to be
thus covered up. The Washington CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes,
July g:
"a morning Republican paper makes a
strong attack on the District Legislature
and the Board Of Pubhc Works, charging
that some OF the best members OF the Leg
islature disclaim auy knowledge OF what
was really passed through at the close OF
the session; that the sewerage ill was pass
ed By a violation of the rules of ore
hous", and Ell tales an addition of two mil
lion to the debt The debt Of the District
is represented as having been through late
enactments, run up to seventeen II Hons,
although it was claimed that the excess OF
the debt above ten millions, the limit al
lowed by organic law, would be betrayed
by appropriations of the last Congress.
Many debts due from the board continue
unpaid, and it's paper is at heavy discount.
1t Is claimed that as Congress forced this
government upon the District without It's
consent or desire, il ought 10 replace 1t by
putin the government into honest and
competent hands, and suggests a board OF
army engineers"

GERMANY AND TIE POPE.

The recent illness Of the Pope excited no
little comment touching his successor in
the event or his death. 1t was recently
mentioned in cable dispatch that Bis
maTck had dec AIRED Tie purpose Of Ger
many to lie to abstain from interfering in
the election Of . Pope, but TO Judge for her
self as to the fairness Of the election when
it shall have taken place. The exact ian
cusce which he used on the occasion is
furnished by mail advices, ard is as follows:
ave shall refrain from all interference in
the selection Of Pope. We shall OF make
even an attempt. In the interest of
public order it IS very desirable that
the election should be made in favor Of
modeI ration; that the angry, militant side
Of tie pspacy should not BE- made
prominent when reconciliation s the thing
10 be desired. But il is not cur mission to
mix up ourselves in these matters. IL can
Cnly be or office, when we have been no.
lifted that al election las been flushed, to
examine for ourselves whether, in cur Judge
meut, II has been conducted with perfect
fairness, so tnSt the person elected is, in our
opinion, entitled 10 exercise in GERMANY
those rights which undoubtedly sppertain
to a legal pope"
1t will be observed hat he spoke with
even more thsn his usual cautiousuess; but
the announcement that Germany assumes
tie right TO review the election and pass
judgment on its legality, may naturally ex.
cite some alarm al the Vatican.

GEN. HOWARD,s CASE

The effort to wEitewash Gen. Howard, of
Freedmsn's Bureau fame, is still kept up.
Tho Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says, July G:
cat a meeting of the Board Of Trustees
Of the Howard University, held yesterday,
a report was sent by Ere derrick Douglass, 10
reply TO the recent charges about the insti-
IN ion being CVeTwh lined by debt. The re-
port se-s forth that q debt of about 500,
900 had been contracted, hut it is claimed
that there are assets that will fully meet this
amount. Nothing was said / the report
made by Mr.. Douglass about the back pay
alleged to have been voted How
ard as President If the Universe by the
Trustees. Gen. Howard himself was pi es-
cnt, and made a statement on this branch
of the charge, wherein be claimed that he
had paid to the University, or for its bene-
Fl, IS much money IS lie ever received
from il. BE produced 4 bl! Of items in
support Of this statement, among which
were the expense Ct a lunch 10 The Board

Gen. Howard,is represented by anti er

he had entered into bocds TO return his
back pay within certain number ofyears.

THE NATIONAL DISEASE.

II is claimed that dyspepsia is cur nation
al disease, and yet the census returns re
port only S4l deaths in 1870 from dyspep-
q, out of total If 492, 263 deaths, while
there was $50 deaths from this disease in
1860, ont Of a total OF 394,15 This would
indicate that dyspepsia is on tho decline in
America, but observation, 10 say nothing Of
facts ,disproves this proposition. But the facts
are at hand to show that dyspepsia is on
the increase, and tina. fesrfully. Thus the
New York World enters Into ali examine
ton Of a group of diseases of the dyspep-
nc class, which forms 4 long list, in the
census returns, and couciudos that at least
one-third of the deaths enumerated under
it were from dyspepsia. On this basis it is
found that the deaths resulting from dlsess-
es of the digestive organs have
increased 100 per cent 10 proportion TO the
total number 81 deaths over those Of 1850.
Coriirmatory statistics are found in the in
crease of the produc OF dentistry, which is
200 per cent over those Of 1860. The use OF
this illus T ton is warranted by the effect of
dyspepsia on The .eeth. This is also true of
the consumption Of patent nostrums, which
a-e large Y used for Uyspeptic affections aud
which are found TO have increased 200 per
cent over and above the allowance for en-
nancement of values. or intimate connec-
lion with This suhjecr is the fact that one
person ont Of every l25 is homeless, and
the probability that half Of the homeless
people live in boarding houses, which are
nutoriously promoters Of dyspepsia. Other
curious suggestions are made show that
dyspepsia is of much greater prevalence
than The mortality statistics Of the census
would indicate.

The Raleigh, N. c., Sentinel, discussing
the abuse of power by the Radical party in
the South, says: "Look at this State. What
is the condition? Our University dead,
our common schools almost dead. Shame
upon the men who did it. So far from re-
suscitsting, they have blasted; so far from
extending the blessings Of education, the Y
have curtailed them. In South Carolina,
GRANTEES either equandered or stole the
common school fluid, so that there are but
few schools in operation. In poor Louis
lana they have done worse-,hey have
abolished the Stree school fund" But this
is enough. We see how unfaithful they
have been TO the people--how untrue to
their own promises. The day Of reckoning
will yet come"

FOURTH OF lilly ORAVIoN

Ex-Governor Jno. M. Palmer, OF Illinois,
delivered an admirable address 10 some
5000 farmers aud others in Springfield on
the 4th inst, Of which we find full ,ele-
graphic report in the Chicago Times. A
new order of things is briefly and truly
stated ia the following paragraph:
"Free conscience is {. essential TO TIE ex-
isteICa OF civilized societies. The DAYS of
rural quiet and felicity are gone forever,
and the farmer Of the praiFies Of Illinois is
a manufacturer Of products which now
compete wi the agricultural industry Of
the whole world. The farmer can 70 lonse or
retire from the busy competition OF trade
if he would, for they are brought to his
door, and the revolution in his Ii e is al
ready accomplished"
Only a few comprehend the fact that
science has made the man who raises corn,
wheat, cotton and meat, "a much a 'smanu-
lacturer" as any one who fsbricates cloth,
leather, hats, or any goods whatever.
This state of things thus originates:
The fabricator Of goods manufactures one
thing out of another. Thus he mixes pig
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-07-09

metal from ore, castings and bar iron from
''pigs," good steel from common iron, and
a thousand tools for cutting purposes from
steel. In every instance raw materials are
unavoidably consumed in all possible PRO-
ducts of mechanical skill and labor. Il al
ways takes something 10 make something,
whether in wood, iron, silk, wool, cotton
or leather. This rule applies to all
crops OF whatever name or nature.
No plant, animal or farmer is able to give
existence 10 an atom of new m tier. In
all cases, life on the farm where things grow
consumes something in forming something.
Hence human labor manufactures bu5hel
of wheat or cora as much as pound OF
nails. Man does not make the iron in the
one case nor the minerals in earth, air and
water consumed to form wheat or COIN, in
the other. When the elements that make
bone in grain are exhausted in the The soil,
no grain will grow, no more
than nails come without iron
The fabricator of crops consumes fertility
alike in Illinois and Tennesse; and sooner
or later he must have plant food or abandon
his trade on exhausted fields. 1t is not Ia
Dor nor capital that produces, strictly speak
ing, either corn or cotton. Such an idea Is
absurd as new creation in the world. La
Dor only changes the form of matter, and
to do this skillfnlly, the directing mind
should understand the laws of matter in
connection with vegetable and animal life.
As suggested by Gov. Palmer, the farmer
has unconsciously changed his position in
the civilized world. 10 Gen. Jackson's
time, thirty million dollars supported the
Federal Government year. Now the ap-
preparations by Congress for the current
year exceed three hundred and eighty mil
Ions, the Army and Navy consuming
nearly fifty-three million dollars. Over
two hundred million dollars of our nat onal
tax comes directly from DEPICTED fields with
no res tuition. American soil is damaged
more in one year of Grants adm Illustration
than il was in twelve years in the time OF
Jackson and Adams. How little does The
man who has contrived to obtain from the
Treasury fifty thousand dollars year for
driving fast horses at Long Branch, care for
the general Impeachment of American
soil By excessive taxation! Every voter
should see the very places that lose the
S3US,O0O,O0O a year with no restitution.
Those denuded places are becoming tre-
mendous sores on the body polite.

THE Constituent COMMITTEES of the
Spanish Assembly has completed the draft
of the Federal Constitution, in pursuance

divided in.o eleven S stes, while Cuba,

difference being that the committee adopts
