ANOTHER LIBEL CASE.

From the cincinnati commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The case of
Buell. who was arrested last night at the in
stance of Senator Chandler. for alleged IL
belOus publications in the Detroit Free
Press, will come up for trial in the police
court Tuesday next. The defense will de-
ny the jurisdiction of the court here.
From the Louisville Courier7Journal
The prosecution of Mr.. S. B. Buell. be-
fore the police court of this District, for an
alleged libel upon Senator Chandler, will
involve the legal question whether that
court has jurisdiction, there being no right
in it to a jury trial. In the case Of Chas. A.
Dana, Judge Blatchford, of New York, re-
fused to let him be brought here for trial in
tina court, holding that the Constitution
gave every man a right to a jury trial. 1t
is thought that the present proceeding is
part OF a policy to bring all correspondents
from this city under the jurisdiction Of this
police court, where there are no Jury trials.

THE PRESIDENT AND HE INFLA.
90 TIONISTS.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The spirit
of Cancellation n~oticeably e7inced by the
iniationists In the Senate during the
last two or three days, is accounted for
by the assertion that is made here with
a great degree of po~sitiveness, that
President Grant would certainly inter-
pose his veto against any financial
measure which failed to make provision
for the redemption of greenbacks, and
return to specie basis. 1t is limited
that the knowledge of the above fact
had much to do In bringing about the
withdrawal of the several monster in
fation propositions that were attempted
to be foisted on the Senate early In the
week, while the inhationists were over
joyful and elated at their evident
strength, and supposed ability to cram
down the threats of their opponents
the most Objectionable boluses. They
drew In their horns considerably, how
ever, toward the last of the week, and
were willing to accept,as a compromise,
the Merrimon proposition increasing
the National bank circulation forty-six
million dollars, instead Of others in
volying an increase amounting To from
hundred and ten tonearly two hun
dred million dollars.

Prosperous Condition Of Our Foreign


The United States Economist New
York; of the 4th inst. says: The compare
tive statistics of foreign commerce for
1928, respectively, as prepared by the
Bureau of Statistics, published in another
column of tO-day's Economist, presents
many gratifying features. They come in
good time to inspire confidence in the
future of business. 1t seems that our total
exports, exclusive Of specie, for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1873, amounted to a total
in round numbers of $550,O00,O0O, an in
crease of no less than $9S,OOO,OO0 on the
previous year. Our specie exports last
year were $6,0O0,000, a reduction of $780,
100000 as compared with 1872. The i'm
port trade also exhibits satisfactory results,
amounting last year to S595,000,0O0 or S60,-
100000 less than in 1872. These figures
show a satisfactory state of affairs in u
foreign trade, and also establish the fact
that u country is now selling more than
she buys. The export trade of last year
was absolutely immense, but it is likely to
be eclipsed by that of the present year.
The mere movement and handling of
nearly six hundred millions of dollars
worth of produce added to the return
merchandise purchased in exchange for it,
would alone impart activity to business.
The opening of navigation, now a question
of days rather than weeks, will impart a
new impulse to commerce by Inangurating
the grand forward movement of cOmmOdi-
ties from the West to the seaboard.

"ASRES TO ASHES.
An Association o COrpse-Burners
Organized I'm New York.
From the Chicago Times.

| OEkunAXcu IN New NOEk.
From the Chicago Times.
New YORK, April 3.-Some fifty
gentlemen assembled tonight in As
ISOLATION Hall to form a society to ad-
vocate burning instead Of burying the
bodies of the dead. Numerous letters
were read, speeches delivered, and es-
says read. The most distinguished of
those who gave their assent to the
movement by letter, were Col. Alcott
and Rev. DR.. rockingham. The idea
running through all the letters was
quick destruction of the body-"that
loathsome thing" as Mr.. Bergh, Pres
ident of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, called it,-and
by the action of pure fame saving
the survivors from the thought Of
loved forms in the condition Of the
dead knight, Orlando:
1.-THE worms crept in and the worms crept out
bis eyes, and his nose, and his temples abodt."
The writer's also insisted on the pro-
priety of reviving that ancient and
poetic practice of cremation, in the
health point of view.
HO oPCCOA VI bAC ChC1AuS was QcEN-
cred by Ellis B. Schnable. He deplor-
ed the wastage of 130,000.000 of bedies
every year buried deep into the ground,
which ought to fructify the earth. He
was not only for burning the bodies,
but for scattering the ashes Owe the
fields to fructify them; and thus as he
said, gourmands could rejoice In the
idea that their elements would fructify
plants; oxen would eat the plants, and
men eat the oxen, and fat, Jolly mems
elements would live again IN other men.
He declared that the man who buried
away the elements of his body is a thief.
A dead mar is no more than any other
dead animal.
Mr.. Henry Bergh warmly applauded
the last speaker, and went for total an
initiation of the body after death.
Various committees were appointed
to report to a future meeting, and those
present were called upon to put down
their names.
As it may be interesting to the Amer
lean public to know who are the men
that first put down their names In IA
vor of burning their bodies, ! give a
list of the signers: Samuel Sexton, John
B. Pomeroy, Hugh NJ. Brown, F. G.

Chambers of Commerce, in the Southern ans
Western States.
DEAR SIR As one of the consult
ing and cooperative committee" con
sisting of the Governor of the State
Presidents of Railroads and othel
Transportation Companies, Mayors O
cities, Presidents of Boards of TRADE
and Chambers of Commerce, to aid II
the establishment of the Liverpool
| Savannah and Great Western Trans.
p~ortation Line" you are especially and
earnestly requested to meet the conven'
ton, in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, in Atlanta, Georgia, on
the first Tuesday in May next, at II
O'Clock A. NJ.
The Transportation Line has been
| formed by an agreement Of railroads,
from Savannah to several points on
and beyond the Mississippi river, and
includes a daily line of steamboats, on
the Mississippi river between st. Louis
and Vicksburg. The agent appointed
by the railroad companies to establish
this hne-Nelson Tiff, of Georgia
will leave for Europe about the last OF
May, to secure the necessary steamship
to complete the line, and it is expected
to be in full operation in time for the
growing crops, or the 1st of October
next.
The object of this meeting of the
committee is for general consultation
and final determination on all the i'm
portant subjects connected with the
enterprise. Among them, the ques-
tons to be determined by the railroad
interests viii be, the characters of the
ships to be employed; the terms of
their employment or union with the
line; the appointment of an executive
committee, and prescribing theirduties;
the manner of appointing agents for
the line on both sides of the Atlantic,
their duties and compensation the
facilities required for handling and
shipping Western produce, grain, ETC.,
at the port of Savannah, etc. Other
important objects are to bring together
such local and general information as
can be obtained regarding the amount
and character of the business which
would be done over this line when es-
tablshed-exports, imports and pas
sengers; the probable demand for i'm
migrant passengers; the opportunity for
favorable investment of foreign capital
in the various industries of this coun-
try, etc. All important facts bearing
npon any of these subjects will be use
full and are solicited.
The effort in which we r engaged
to establish direct trade with foreign
countries by a regular line of steamships
from a Southern Atlantic port, is
worthy of our best energies and of such
sacrifices Of time and money as may be
necessary to success.
In consideration of the Importance
Of the meeting to which you are invited,
we respectfully request that railroad
companies Will pass you free to and
from the meeting, on the certificate OF
the body over which you preside.
Very respectfully,

The Coffee Trade

From the New York American Grocer, April 4
The market for Brazils has ruled quiet
during the week, but at the close, prices
having declined lie gold, buyers show
more disposition to stock up for a short
time, evidently believing that the present
low prices will attract interior buyers and
u a temporary advance. But with a
large stock at Rio and also large daily re-
ceipts at that port, and the fact that the
coming crop will be a large one, an advance
nov would probably be but temporary.
The following is the last Rio telegram,
dated March u, and advises: Sales since
the 9th inst. $4,000 bags; shipments 1900;
stock 10000; average daily receipts 5000;
price 10l7OO; exchange 26id.
The receipts at this port this week have
been large and increase the stock to upwards
of 100000 bags, while the steamer Merri-
mack, with 10000 bags, now long overdue,
has been heard from and will probably
arrive before Our next issue We quote:

Progress OF the CrinoIine Crusade


From the Greeneyille Union, April2
On last Thursday night there was so
much disorder on the street, about mid
night, that persons called upon the town
constable TO restore quiet. From some
cause or other the devil seems to have been
unclaimed in Greeneyille.
One thing the crusade has done-it has
arTayed the country against the town and
is fast carrying of the business Ofthe town,
The reaction has come, and the cause of
temperance proper is sadl Y injured in our
country. And a few days 9 we saw
what we never before witnessed in our
town-"seyen' Of the citizens ofthis town
intoxicated at one time.
On Saturday night, Mayor Snapp very
prudently put out q special police force to
preserve order.
PANDEMONIUM.
The scene at Campbelrs saloon, last Sat-
urday evening, was both humiliating and
suggestive. 4 large number of drinking
men having collected there, the lady cru
saderS were reinforced till most of their
number, aud many of their gentlemen
friends were there. The drinking men
drank until two became beastly drunk, and
more than a score were intoxicated, white
and black. The crusaders drew their lines
closer, sung and prayed. Campbell had
some men engaged in breaking rock and
repairing the walk directly in front of the
saloon. Thus within an area of a few feet,
at n and the same time, were breaking
rock, shOyeling dirt, playing the fiddle,
dancing, cursing, Safeguarding, singing
wicked songs, and praying! The crowd
was excited. Men, We are informed, were
armed. At one time a regular street fight
seemed imminent. One blow and it would
have been like a spark in a magazine of
powder-lives would in all probability
have been lost. Six O'Clock came, the sa-
loon was closed, the crusaders left, and the
drunken, maddened crowd dispersed.

Poverty of the Blood.

If the blood be thin and watery, the whole sys-
TEN is impoverished. The flesh is labby, the
muscles lack hardness, the nerves are relaxed,
the internal organs but imperfectly perform
their functions, the brain is inert; and, in short,
the entire body is only half alive. The stomach
is mainly responsible for this wretched condition
of the human machine. Stimulate and tone that
organ with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and a
marked change for the better will soon be appa-
with this potent and genial tonic will be the con-
version of the food into rich, pure blood, ana
as the blood is the raw material from which
flesh, muscle, brain, bone, and every membrane
tissue and ligament Of the body are manufac-
tured, all those components of the material
frame will be gradually regenerated and inyigo-
rated. This is sound doctrine, and X is sustain
ed by the logic of facts, APP

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.

PITTsBURG, April 3.-John ]. Hart,
a resident Of New Orleans, has entered
suit here against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for 100000. The
plaintiff claims that in September last,
while on a train on this road, near Al
toona, a locomotive attached to a train
following, came up behind and dashed
into the rear car in which Hart was a
passenger, wrecking it. The plaintiff
was pitched out and received injuries
of a serious nature, so serious that he
alleges they are incurable. The case
will probably be tried this term of
court.
