The foreign trade Of the United States,
judging from the returns of the port of New
York, has not suffered so severely this year
from the effects of the financial crisis as was
anticipated. and the decline has been only
in the imports. The aggregate exports of the
first nine months of 1874 are largely in excess
of those Of the corresponding period of 1873
In some articles the export has this year
been very much ahead OF last year, this being
particularly the case in -four, wheat, corn,
peas, oats butter and cheese, tallow, tobacco
and petroleum, which are all leading articles
Of export The wheat export thus far this
year 10 nearly double that Of last year, whilst
nearly fifty per cent increase is shown in the
corn trade. There hAs been . decline in the
exportatisn Of lard and cut meats, but the
rest u The provision trade shows an increase.
The cotton export from New York shows a
oouGdesNble decline, rs it is becoming more
and moro the European custom to draw their
cotton supplies direct from the Southern ship
ping ports.

Government met at Newport, r. l., on the 4th
of May, 1912, one year after On the 18th OF
Nav. 1874 Thomas N. Dorr, the Governor OF
the suffrage party, attempted to capture the
State arsenal, but failed !; they attempted again
to overthrow, by force the charter or old gov
eminent, which had existed since the grant of
the charter by Charles H. In his they failed
and were completely dispersed by the State
troops. The President recognized the old
charter government. and justly considered
that Dorr had no right as Governor.
The Dorr affair was purely rebellion, and
the charter government OF the State main
tanned itself against the force OF Dorr.

A Nos-PARTIsAN POLICE. he London Po-
lice Board ascribes marked decrease Of mis-
conduct in the police force of that city, during
1873, to increased efficiency on the part of the
police az q body. During the year, out of
1858 men on police duty, only seventeen were
charged with offenses before a magistrate
Twelve Of these were convicted, but only two
had committed more than minor offenses Of
the seventeen, there were twelve who had
served ON the force for less than two years.
and few if any of the remainder had served
more than Ave years. The policeman of Lon
don, however, occupies position which is
calculated to invite faithful performance Of
duty Political considerations do not dictate
the choice of policemen, nor would political
success OF defe at affect in any way their terms
of Office. By faithful service, the policeman
becomes, after term Of years, entitled to an
increased rate of pay, and when inca
pacitated by injuries, long service, or old age,
from the performance of police duties. he is
retired ON pension, sufficient to support lite.
Last year over 200 members of the force were
thus pensioned.

The opening of the Italian opera season at
the New York Academy of Music on Monday
night, was marked by an incident, which, as
the indication of q fashionable revolution, was
even more notable than the first appearance
of Strakosch's new company. The Graphic
tells MS that the singular sight was presented
of all female heads appearing shorn of CHG
non, rat, friz. and all the many, to man at
least, nameless contrivan ses with which now
for several years, the female mind has CAPT
tally adorned its crown" We may imagine
that men were simply frozen in establishment
ut the disappearance of the towering coifares,
the monuments of hair, ribbon, lace and
feathers, that were wont to obscure the view
of the stage, AMI the substitution of heads
that were quietly and chastely glorified with
natural h sir alone. A modest flower or an
unobtrusive ribbon were the extremes of deco
ration, but the grace of flowing or plated
locks alone constituted the charm Of the ma
iority. The ladies seem to have jumped from
one extreme to another, with an extraordinary
but characteristic agility.

Texas DeacOrs.
From the N. Y. Tribune


We might have evolved from the depth Of
our inner consciousness the truth that Texas
is bad place for deacons. One OF these
humble servants of rel, gion experienced the
melancholy trut. the other day at protracted
meeting at Norsworth's. The good were there
to be made better; the had were there enjoy
ing themselves, and the deacon was there ex-
horting ind preserving the peace. Certain
maidens of the church, it appears, had some
what backslidden,,' and had therefore been
requested to occupy back seats in the congre-
CATION. While the deacon vas eloquently
holding forth. his special topic being the
lapses of these little sisters, what was his hoI-
ror and il d,gnation at beholding them on the
back seats al, re>aid, actually laughing, chat
tering and flirting gener lily with those dan
q ,ons wild beasts sometimes called "felle's.'
Poor gir]s, they don't look in the least tn
happy, nor did they seem to cure one dot
for the deacon or his discourse
The good old man naturally lost his temper.
Possibly, unless, the matter should then and
there be stopped, he foresaw Investigate Ms
and statements, and epistolizing, and trials,
and affidavits and heaven knows what else
| beside aud all without end. He was equal to
the emergency. As the Spesker Of the House
OF Commons "names" refractory members,
so the Deacon named these reckless lassies.
l.
ed behavior he stigmatized. Their future
fate he set forth with all its fiery and sulphur
| Gus peculiarities, in way calculated to make
their .ir stand on end-at least all of it which
| they could truly call their own. Their che
valiers were also included in the DeacOn's
warm prophecies, and naturally these cheva-
l,ers didn't like it ; not, OF course, upon their
own account !; they could stand it but for the
Deacon to say such things OF helpless young
women was an offense against gallantry not to
be forgiven.
| So it happened that within four and twenty
hours the Deacon's physiognomy underwent q
striking change into something rich and
strange. 1t Was wickedly done. They asked
the Deacon for a private conference in the
grove. He thought them peni ent, and went
to meet them, expecting them, of course, to
say they were sorry. Well, they didn't In
fact, as it they didn't feel that they had quite
enough sin on hand yet for good, rousing,
wholesale repentance, they fell afoul Of the
Deacon and did SO hammer, maui, brulse,
pound, pummel and otherwise assault him
that he lett the sacred grove the worst bat
tered and most variegated deacon in all Texas.
1t is not likely that he will hereafter be so per-
sonal in his remarks. We favor good, strong
preaching We have not the least doubt Of
he pressing need of it in Texas, or even in
New York. As rule, we can not approve Of
flirting in sermon time. Still, we question
the right of deacon, or even of regular pas
tor, to mention members of the congregation
by name in his exhortation. Such liberty
leads to unpleasantness. 1t hurts private
feeling. 1t Las a SAVIOR of impudence II
would hardly do here-it is certainly o spe-
ciaIly dangerous business in Texas.

Elizaheth'S PHOTOGRAPH.

offered $1,000 for a photograph. There are
but two known ones in existence. One of
these MIR. Tilton has, and keeps on his parlor
mantel When any one speaks of his wife he
takes it down and shows it. The other is held
by a distinguished New York photographer.
He ha, resisted the glittering offer Tor the
picture He regards the disposal OF it as a
breach of faith that would hurt his business.
Nothing that has appeared gives the slightest
idea of the now famous woman. She is
small, Fragile WON IN. dark complexion, low
in statur4, girlish in look, her hair parted in
the centre and falling in rnglets behind
looking more like school girl OF eighteen
than matron Of forty. Up to the publica-
ton of the letter to DR.. Bacon, Mrs. Tilton
moved in her accustomed spheres. Every
Sunday afternoon she led the singing at the
Christian Association Rooms besides eugag-
ing in general Christian work. Since she left
her husbands house she has lived quite re-
tired. During the summer vacation she was
greatly annoyed by the curious who crowded
on her privacy. She vent from place to place,
and was even called by another Lame to es-
cape attention. But all in vain. She came
home early from her summer trip to enjoy the
quiet seclusion of a friends house.

The New York Ndt;on-calm, dispassionate
in its discussion OF public affairs says Of the
Louisiana emeute:
''The Northern voters can insist on that
which violates no political tradition, which
involves no concessions or pledges, no ex-
penSe or trouble, and which religion and
humanity and the general safety imperatively
call for, and which reused and indignant
public opinion can bring abo1t viz. the abb
solute and immediate withdrawal of Federal
countenance and support from the Snaves
who now have the upper hand in Southern
politics, and the illug OF Federal offices at
the South with new and better class
of men, who will serve as mission
aries rather than panderers and con-
spirators The success of the ieves in
South Carolina and Louisiana, as well AZ else
where and their hold on the ignorant masses
whom we have enfranchised, are mainly due
to the tact that our Marshals, and Collectors,
and Surveyors and Postmasters are their con-
federates, and keep them assured of the sup
port of the authorities ut Washington, in case
the worst comes to the worst. This ought to
come to an end, but it will not come to an end
unless the public takes the matter in hand
There is enough stolid and selfish insensibility
at the White House, and enough lazy indiffer-
ence in Congress to stand dozen such broils
as this in Louisiana with perfect equanimity.
The President is probably glad he has not had
to kill ths people or lombard an American
city in order to leinstate Kellogg, but he is
probably not sorry that he put him in power
in the beginning, and does not care how long
he stays in it. I"

Governors and Misgoverners.
[Chicago Tribune.]


Six Southern States have recently been
thrown into confusion by instruction or fears
of it. In Louisiana, Kellogg, Republican
usurper proved utterly powerless, and had to
send for the Federal bayonets which originally
foisted him upon a long-suffering people. In
Mississippi, Ames, q Republican carpet-bag-
yer, was 8 } scared by a cock-ard-bul story OF
trouble in Vicksburg that he hastily tele-
craphed for Federal troops was instantly ~
buffed, and became the laughing stock o. the
country. In South Carolina, Moses has just
passed through the same experience. While
these three Governors, who have no back
ing from the wealth, or the intelligence. or
the honesty of the States over which
their helpless inefficiency, their utter
inability to execute the State laws without
Federal aid, three other Southern Governors,
placed in circumstances more trying than
those of Ames and Moses, have been showing
what an Executive who really represents the
people can do In Georgia, Gov. Smith h I'd
TO deal with dangerous disposition to send
troops to the help of the New Orleans citizens.
A few humorous and satirical speeches by the
Governor finished the feeling. He marched
through Georgia as VIGOROUSLY as Sherman
TIE danger was soon over. In Kentucky.
Gov Leslie has called special session Of two

six months, if necessary, and has placed at
their disposal militia in sufficient numbers to
make the necessary arrests and to enforce the
sentences The result is Il sudden diminution
in the crime that has been disgracing the
State.
In Tennessee, Gov. Brown has followed up
the Gibson county lynchers with vigor. Re-
wards have been set upon their heads. Some
of them have been already arrested. One has
been induced to turn States evidence. There
is good prospect of the conviction OF the
whole gang. Such decisive action by the State
authorities has put a sudden stop to the out
break of hatred which the civil rights bill
threatened to cause. Tennessee is again at
peace. White and black are safe within heI
borders.
| The sharp contrast between the action OF
these two trios of Governors may we'll excite q
suspicion, even in loyal Republican breasts
whether it is worth while to keep on endors
! ing and sustaining Southern Governors who
must sit on Federal cannon and keep row o.
Federal bayonets between themselves and
their constituents in order to stay in power.
