The very convenient practice OF
pardoning convicts and criminals
on condition of their emigrating to
America, was adopted many years
ago by many countries in Europe.
1t was a simple and inexpensive
method of getting rid of danger
Gus class of people. 1t was not on
ly expensive to transport their
criminals to their own penal colon
les, but there was the expense of
supported them when they got
there. Emigrating criminals to
America became popular method
of disposition, but as we have quite
a sulhciency of this class, indigen-
Gus to the soil, the expectations in
to the country excited considerable
indignation. OF all the govern
ment to which circumstances were
sent, Great Britain is the only one
that has failed to give satisfactory
assurances. 1t is the duty of our
government to insist upon the OBJ
servance of obligations, which are
dictated by international comfy.

most common business incidents,
confined IN the most ordinary sell
evident rules of right and wrong,
and there would be no more bane-
fnl clashing, no moro unseemly
antagonisms, no moro jealous
watchfumess of our neighbours ac-
tions, but q harmonious grasping OF
hands, generous appreciation OF
each Others claims, and a united
march with power, force and inhu-
ence. TO one common triumphant
end, where all engaged in any part
of the manipulation, will reap
Just proportion of remuneration
for their toll, These ideas are not
Utopian, they are perfectly practi-
cal. Let every man who goes INTO
the convention, go there to learn,
to recognize his neighbor's merit,
to try all points, to offered and hold
fast to that which is good, is true
is praetical-in other words, divest
himself of all class prejudice, local
ambition or individual desire for
ascendcncy. Let the discordant
action of congressional finance
thinkers have a salutary effect upon
them, and we fortcll advances i'll
in t right direction.
We have held many converse

men during the past few months
upon this subject Of association
in the trade, and could with
out disparagement to the class,
say we have been surprised beyond
measure to find so much discor-
dant thought elected at first men

start, toned down in moment and
finally dispelled after few col

pears To be in the total destruction
of confidence in general business
integrity, this sentiment not only
applies to the numbering interests
at large, but it is equally pertinent
TO all other trades and industries,
but most conspicously perturbing
to the iron interests. We think
our pine lumbermen should appre-
ciat well the fact that Wisconsin
and Minnesota will undoubtedly
fall short this season at least two
hundred million feet, that Michigan
will come into the market with n
stock for 1874 below that of 1873,
at least five hundred million feet,
Candaa one hundred and seventy
two millions Pennsylvania Ia noted
log contractor and others inform
us) at least two hundred and fifty
millions, and Maine will scarce be
able to reach her usual stock by
two. hundred millions, leaving other
fields out of the question. Al
together, we have sure deficiency
of thirteen hundred and seventy
two millions, which coupled with
fire loses already reported verges
closely upon one and a half bilious
of feet deficit in the amount for
1873. Then if we count in other
localities from which we have as
yet no estimate for the season, we
think another half billion may
assuredly be added to the de felt
total, making at least two billions
to be deducted from the amount
the United States usually consumes
of pine per annum. When these
facts become in the public mind
"fiXed facts" we think they must
have the effect of at least Stifcaing
prices, and in small measure re-
storing pubic confidence to trade
that never ought to have been
injured by the late senseless panic.
In these statistics il must be remem-
bered We are treating the pine pro-
duct alone.

during the war. He
retained a lawyer named Herbert,
OF New York, agreeing to give him
$4,000 in case he should be sue
cessful. Herbert was informed
that Butler was the general who
couliscated the cotton, so, to pre-
vent any valid defence being made
on part OF the governm mt, he re-
tanned Butler as council. No
defense was made and judgement
against the government was given
for $4,000. This amount was
paid directly to General Butler,
who was in Washington at-the time,
and who retained $4,000, and
handed the balance over to Lamar.
Herbert applied to Butler for a
share of the $4,000 hut was per-
emptorily refused. He then began
suit against Lemar for the $780,
900 according to contract. In that
suit a commission was granted on
Wednesday to Herbert to take
Buffers testimony, and thus the
General may find | nself forced
to answer some disagrceablc ques-
tions.

The conference has agreed on
new currency bill, in shape sub
stantially as heretofore reported.
1t provides for free banking, the
abolition OF reserves on circulation,
except 8 per cent, to be kept at
the treasury; the retiriment Of
greenbacks at the rate of 3 ID per
cent, of new National bank notes
issued, and redemption in gold or
3 per. cent. bonds, January l, 1878.
The report recommending the pas
sage of the bill is signed by Messrs.
Morton, Sherman and Merrimom,
members of the conference on the
part of the Senate, and Messrs.
Maynard, Farwell and Park, of the
House. The report is not signed
by Mr.. Clymer, the remaining
member of the committee. The
bill passed the Senate, but failed
to pass the House, and it is doubt
full if Congress will do anything
with the currency question at this
session. Had Congress let the
finance alone in the first place, the
country would have been in a much
better condition financially to-day
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1874-06-17
A Cheerful View.

The money writer Of the New
York ECeni,,g Post thinks that if
Congress would only define the
status of the legal tender circula-
tion and then take itself away,
there would be general rejoicing
among all classes Of legitimate
business people. "The crop pros
pects," say this authority, "bright-
ems as the season advances, and the
indications are that we shall have
the largest grain crop on record.
The acreage of cotton is smaller
than last year according to the
best resorts, but altogether the APP
pearances are that the crop, while
smaller than last, will be a good
one for the acreage. AS to rail-
road prosperity the receipts have
within month shown consider
able increase. For the expired
part of 1874 the leading roads have
done fully as large and in some
cases even larger business than
during the corresponding time in
1873, during which year the re-
ceipts were the largest on record,
and taking mileage into considera-
ton. Since the panic the roads
have been reducing their floating
debt, and its volumn, like that of
private indebtedness, is now, as
rule, smaller than for years. In
fact, in every department we are
nearer hard-pan than since the
outbreak of the war"

Republican party managers will
have no hesitation this fall in as
session the regular per centage
upon government officials. There
will be no beating about the bush,
nor any pretense that the contriou-
tons are voluntary. The party in
Congress has completely torn the
civil service reform plank out of
the platform ; the farce is played
out, and government employees must
govern them selves accordingly.
They cannot point for their proteo-
ton to the civil service plank Ia
the platform: that has gone over
board, and if they do not do as the
party managers dictate they will
follow the plank.

tom Tie broad charaetep OF the
call that the meeting will esteem its
objects rs of far higher Importance
than itsmethods.'
The Courier cares not rs to the
political designation the elements
which gather to oppose radicalism,
may have borne. If the organiza-
ton bases Itself upon platform
that meets our approval we stand
ready to east whatever influence
Ue may possess in its behalf. a
public journal is supposed to rep
resent, TO q certain extent, the opin-
ion of the community in which it
circulates. From the expressed
sentiments of the leading Demo
Gratis with whom we have conyels-
ed, we are enabled TO assume that
! if the principles advocated in the
new movement are adheared TO,
and the friends of Reform, ire
pective OF past party alhliation,
gather around one common
GARD. for one common cause, with
no dividing issues, there will BE-
v nv little difficulty in arranging a
programme that will be successful.
1t has been well said by a con-
temporary, that sit is one of the
essential elements of the move
m,nt's success that it should be by
it, work, SO far as may be, untram-
meled by the demands or sugges-
tons of existing political organi-
cations. TO a certain extent such
demands and suggestions cannot
be avoided. 1t would be idle to
expect that the Democracy of the
State. with its 10000 voters, will
abandon its organization and enter
new political combination with
out being allowed a voice i'll the
matter; and it would be equally
idle 10 expect either silence or
neutrality from the Democratic
press. The same thing is undoubt-
edly true, though in smaller de
gree, of the other organization
from which are TO come the ele-
ments of the new combination.
But while some such expressions
of opinion cannot be avoided, even
if it were desirable it should be
harmonious action will be impos-
sible if the several elements Of the
proposed combination are to come
together as representatives re-
spcctively of the organizations in
which they now find themselves.
II is very desirable that they
should come together as individ-
als, with q common object, and
consult freely as to the best meth
DDS of attaining it. This they will |
he far less likely to do if the move
shall be made now, or at any time
under the special protcc-
ton of any party organizations
now in existence, or any journal
identified with such organization"
Let the people inauguratc the
movement, and if possible work
out their own salvation. The peo-
pie to the front, politicians il the
rear. is the watchwCrd.
