Trade Of Great Britain

A comparison between the aggregate trade
Of Great Britain may be made from the facts
given below that will be interesting. From
these facts it appears that her foreign trade
amounted for the year 1872 to colo, 00O, goo,
an excess Of fifty millions upon the total Of
the previous year, and Of one hundred millions
upon the total of 1870. The shipping trade
especially has largely increased. Last year
the entrances and clearances with cargoesl
from and to foreign countries amounted to
37,l47 900 tons, the corresponding figures in
1871 being 81, 500 900 tons, and in the year
previous 81, 623, 900 tons. The exports 0!
Great Britain last year amounted to e2j0,-
DOC, 900, and Of this the share Of cotton yarn
and manufactures was $50, 1913 900, Or nearly
one-third. Next On the list comes wooden
yarn and manufactures, which amounted to
.35, 493 900. The exports Of iron aud steel
amounted to f37 900, 600. The import.
amounted to f353, o00, 900, the value Of the
cotton alone being 3,Gl7 900, and the
wheat e26 ,0i6 900; corn, IS 600, 900; timber,
fls, 900. Great Britain pays for the
necsssaries Of life and the articles Of luxury
most commonly consumed with the products
of its mines and factories.

The Louisiana SeRai0rsbtp.

There is one distinct feature In the Louisi-
ana muddle which should have strong points
Of interest for every true Republican, and
particularly for all colored people.
For the second time in the history OF re-
construction a col0red man presents himself
with credentials from Republican Admins
tration, as Senator elect from sovereign
State. Such an appearance at this juneture
is calculated to bring out the best qualities
of all good members Of our race.
Mr.. Pinchback's presence in the United
States Senate carries with it not only guar
antee of ability and force Of character and an
evidence Of extensive influence IN his state,
it also furnishes pledge Of negro fidelity to
the negro race.
Being the only chronological representative
Of his people in the exalted sphere to which
he has been called, mainly by eolored votes,
he will stand, 50 to speak, with his hand on
the latch Of the Senate door TO swing II vide
in welcome TO any other colored senator
who NAV be thus hcuored in States where we
have a majority Of votes. :,
This last fact of itself should exting'iish all

War tpon the Bureau of Educa-
ton.

The iliuetrious Upton, following the bad
example of his deiunct sorc-head brother
Farnsw orlh, of the House, exhibits a mortal
hatred against the Bureau Of Education, il
not against our whole system Of education.
He expressed the solemn opinion in the SEN
ate the other day that the Bureau had done
nothing at all TO promote the cause of educa.
ton. Orcourse the Nebraska solomon did not
condescend to inform the Senate aud the
country upon what ground this sage opinion
VA, based. twill DC safe 10 LAY, therefore,
that h, has no better reason f"r il than the
natural rnmtv Of all such accidents, of all
hour" for popular education and lis alvo-
Gates. They fear nothing 80 much as the in
,elli.cncc If the people. II has been their
ruin.
By loud professions Of patriotism aud hui
manity, he once succeeded in securing their
votes for the position he now holds. But he
soon showed the insincerity Of his character
and his innate corruption by betraying all his
principles and classifying all his pledges. The
intelligence Of his constituents enabled them
TO detect the fraud, and they have practically
repudlated him. The last election in Ne
braska foreshadowed his doom, and warned
him that his political and official life will end
with his present Senatorial term.
Ii Mr.. Upton had studied the reports Of
Gen Eaton, the Commissioner Of Education,
and profted by the high moral tone that per-

where They Biuudcied.

The great error Of those members OF Con-
cress who once owned Credit Mobilicr stock,
no matter how they obtained it, has been in
not frankly admitting the fact and justifying
their right to own it. Then, whatever might
have been thought of its propriety, all would
have given them credit for frankness and
honesty, and this would have been more than
half a victory At the time this stock was
transferred to them it was not believed
that any more legislation was desired by the
Pacific Railroad Company. At any rate, it
may well be doubted whether there was any
more improperly in members OF Congress
owning Credit Mobilier stock than in owning
National Bank stock, Telegraph stock, or
any other stock about which Congress may
be called to legislate.
The outcry that has SO deafened the pub
lie ear has been raised and is kept up mainly
by the Liberal Republican" demagogues,
actively aided by their Copperhead sympa-
tl,izcrs \ little matter has been blown
into mountain Of fraud, and dishonest at
tempt is made to damage the Republican
party. Our magnanimous Republican edi-
tors have joined in the cutlery without stop
ping to inquire how uuch foundation there
is for these charges. The investigating COM
mittee, which, through the generosity Of
Speaker Blaine, has majority of Democrats
upon it, seems to be very careful not to dis.
cover any Democratic speculations in Credit
Mobilier stock. Every hint against a Re-
publican is ut once acted upon, and he is
called before the committee, and his name
at once heraldad throughout the land as hay
ing been furnished by some sort Of bribery
or fraud. And SO they have raised ire
we hope some time to know.

The Police Court.

This court. so ably presided over by Jnia'
"a n. smell, is now and then made the sub
iect fbr lngs BY some of the paParS an ASH
iug,on. Judge Smell has presided with an
ability of which he may be proud he mas
treated all parties. high or low, rich or poor
white or black, with justice. ohe oil i've
loudest complaints against him by certain
Journal that panders tn the TFo-siaVeF!
nerro-hatlng anfe-bslgum tastes OF lis readers
is that the Judge fails to sec that "tite
man is better than n black one before me
law The course Of the Judge in the civii
rights cases that came before him WAS any
thing but pleasing to the enemies OF equal
and exact justice for all men, ana so iney
attennt to cast odium upon the court and
the Judge.
Since the establishment Of the police court
the arrests have fallen of at the rate oil $50
per cent This is probably owing to the
fact that punishment for petty otienses be-
came more certain to follow arrests than when
under the old way the cases were car
ried to the Criminal Court Of the District,
whose docket became so overburdened that
it was impossible for that court to accord
speedy trials. The safety from trial and
punishment no doubt increased crime, and
consequently the number of arrests. Often,
when the time arrived for the trial Of criini-
nails for petty ofTenses, such "a the police
court takes cognizance of, it was found that
witnesses had been tempered with or spirited
out Of the way, so that the criminal would
go free.
Against the uprightness and legal ability
Of Judge Smell there appears nothing, ii we
take the number Of cases tried by him and
the insignificant number of appeals from his
decisions taken by the able LAWYERS that APP
pear in his court. In the police court during
1872 there were tried Of United States cases
? $50, with but IS appeals; of District cases
there were tried 1872, with only 81 appeals.
This shows less than two per cent. Of ap-
peals in all. In whisky cases there were
4G appeals taking these from the }, ~ Dis
trict cases and there are but IS appeals in
other cases, or less than One-half of one per
cent. 1t is estimated BY Deputy United
States Marshal Phillips that the police
court saves the United States, by diminish
ing expenses of the Supreme Criminal Court
annually, SIS, 900; in salaries of magistrates,
81, 400; and So 200 in salaries of magistrate :
paid by the District. The police court has
never drawn one dollar from the Territorial
treasury, but has, during the lasttwo quarters,
after defraying all charges, paid into the Dis.
trct treasury the snug sum Of al,2j0.j2 The
saving to the Government by this court
commends it as well rs does the very few
appeals made from its decisions. There is
really no substantial ground for opposition
to Judge Smell or the police court. The
rights of all are respected far more in this
court than in the Criminal Court as at pres
ent constituted.

Another Wise Act.

All honor to President Grant for his brave
and patriotic determination to defeat the per-
sistent attempts Of Southern men to secure
from Congress an act declaring it the duty Of
Government to pay all claims OF loyal men
for damages during the war. Ii such prece-
dent could once be established by the pay
ment Of ore single claim Of this kind, they
have reason to hope 1t will be followed out
to the end, and that the same measure OF
Justice" will be dealt out to all loyal or pre-
tended loyal claimants. With this view
several desperate attempts have been made
to procure from Congress n recognition Of the
principle by the passage Of bills to pay dam
ages in certain cases. Three such bills have
been forced through Congress. But each OF
them has been vetoed by the President.
The last one was bill to pay to the East
Tennessee University Els, 800 for the de-
struction of property by our troops during
the war. His reasons in this case, as in the
two others, are, that it would set danger
Gus precedent, and cost the nation millions of
dollars, while, according to the laws Of war,
we are exempt from any such obligations.
And the people will accord him all honor
for II

A Question Answered.
The Boston Transcript says:
/.

The Boston Transcript says:
..If the people of the United States were
ever SO much inclined, through Congress
sional appropriations, to pampor the people
of the District of Columbia by relieving them
of the burden of their strictly local eXpendi-
lures. it would be well to ask, before voting
large sums of money, how the people OF that
District felt and conducted toward the people
of the United states when their national cX-
istence hung trembling in the balance. Moth
ing for yengeace, but a little something, II
YOU please, for security
The people of the District of Columbia III
the hour of the nations peri! showed how
they felt toward the people OF the United
States by sending more troops to the Held, III
proportion to its population, than Boston.
Is the Transcript satisfied: Or does 1t want
the proof? Washington RepHjEcan
1t NAV be that the District Of Columbia
sent larger number Of volunteers into the
field in proportion to its population than did
Boston, but it must be remembered that
those volunteers were not considered people
bv the bona .G}s citizens OF the District.
Those volunteers were lespised colored men
to whom the citizen of the District denied
the right to testify in courts OF justice, the
right of the elective franchise, the right to
ride on the cars running through the streets
of the capital they were to defend, and de-
MED them educational privileges, in short,
treated them in accordance with the bred
Scott decision, as having no rights which
white men were bound to respect. The real
citizens OF the District hated the men who
fought for the Union, and voted to deny to
them the citizen right of voting. This IS the
truth Of the matter. This is OF the past and
a little better feeling now exists in this COM
munitv. We in common with many believe
that Congress should assist in identifying
and imDroyinp this District.

4 YiriuOus LegIsIature.

The members Of the Missouri Legislature
having been charged with accepting bribes
from Bogy, the successful opponent OF Frank
Blair for a seat in the United States Senate,
that yirtuous body at once appointed COM
mittee TO examine into the charge and report
whether any Of them had been bought by
Bogy or not. After the most patient and
searching investigation they have not been
able to find that one Of them had received a
dollar from him, and therefore decide that
they have not only not been corrupted, bu,
that they are all incoruptible. This must
settle the question, for who could know bet.

or could be bribed or not? Itisn't TO be pre-

The New York Ring is still too strong for

one Of the rottencst Of the gang, still pos
sesses the power to pack jur.es composed Of
ring tools, and pledged 10 protect It's crimi-
mails, whatever may &c the evidence OF their
guilt. Such jury was packed for the trial
Of Tweed. There were on it dock loafers,
State prison criminals, low drinking saloon
keepers, and other knayes and vagabOnds
who were put there to prevent an agreement
if they could not secure an acquittal. There
was, from the beginning no more prospect
if the Bos. thieis conviction by such
bribed pack Of yagabond- and scoundrel-
than there was that the defendant would be
translated to Heaven bodily. Eight Of them
were for acguittIng him, three for conviction,

vades them all. he would have been very
likely to .hun the act Of bad faith and treach-
cry which has brought suC! disgrace upon
him. and his mind would undoubtedly have
been in a condition to form s0under and
wiser judgment of the Bureau Of Education,
and the nature and value Of the work it IL
doing.
We know OF 10 more profitable employ
ment for Mr.. Upton and his sour-tenpered,
sore headed, and dark minded associates than
a careful study of these valuable reports.
The vast fund of information they contain
upon the subject Of education, As well abroad
as at home, the thousand practical hints they
contain, and the sentiments OF morality they
teach, could hardly fail to exercise benign
influence upon his mind and heart, if read
with an honest desire to reach the truth.
There is probably no equal expenditure OF
the Government Of more real benefit TO the
people than the cost Of sustaining the Bureau
of Education, because there is none which is
the means Of exerting more healthiul lniiu-
ence upon the mind and heart of the people.
But, perhaps, Alr. TiptOn's theory Of the
power and duties of the Government is that
no money should be expended for any such
object, For for any object which is not abso-
lutely needed to keep the whole Government
in motion, and that all branches Of the pub
lie service which does not pay its own ex-
penses should be abolished. Acting upon
this idea he united in the clamor against the
ranking privilege, which was means OF
spreading so much information among the
people, and if consistent would discontinue
the postal service in all parts OF the country
where it is not self-sustaining.
These two reforms" would do much to
destroy the value of Gen. Eaton's report, by
preventing its general distribution. And il
the Bureau can't be abolished, Withholding
from it appropriation necessary to its success
is the next best thing in the opinion of its
enemies. But with all this opposition to the
efforts the Government is making through
the Bureau of Education to promote the cause
of universal education, the people have no
sympathy; and if Mr.. Upton and his " Lib
eral" associates hope to regain the influence
their treachery lost them, by their clamor for
economy" and reform" they are count
ing without their host.
