This certainly ia something Of new idea
in this country. Harpers' Monthly for that
lcrgth of time mus: contain the main points
OF interest in the history of the country,
ard all the volumes for that period, with
most intelligent index, would be conye'
nicpce for gen:lemqn who needed facts for
tne preparation Of essays or editorials. Hnr'
pers' Monthly has been bitter party and,
what is worse, sectional paper; but. then,
one may discriminate between its opinions
ID its facts. HARpEEs, who are church.
leaders, may, as is the way OF the
day, apologize for their unkindly ard
urcbristianiy hatred, and, what is even
worse, their ruthless misrepresentation, by
coa,endpg that unless they gave pquancy
to their Monthly it would not have been
supported. That may be so; and they
had The wise cunning to give the richer part
Of the Union the benefit OF that piquancy
and that richer part sustained them. These
little matters are for settlement according to
that higher Ia " which HAMPERS great men
SEWARD and the like -were accustomed to
appeal TO. Nevertheless, we say that the
volumes, with all their wrong and malice,
accompanied by. this ample index, will con-
slitu,c an Invaluable addition to the Libraries
that are arranged with special regard to in
formation and the convenience Of its ascer-
tainmeut.

The Tobacco Inspection Laws.

Copy of resolutions offered by Mr.. James
A. Scott, and adopted by the tobacco trade
ut meeting held July 81. 1875:
RESOLVED, That the President Of the Agri-
cultural Society be respectfully requested to
select from each tobacco market in the Slate
three persons namely, one commission
merchant, one manufacturer, and one ship
per, also three planters from each judicial
district interested 10 the growth OF tobacco,
TO whom the preses.s inspection laws shall be
referred for the purpose Of so altering or
amending them a. 10 give more satisfaction
to the agricultural and commercial interests
of the State; also, TO inquire whether d total
abolition Of these laws would, in their opir-
ion, be acceptable 10 all or a msjorisy of the
people interested in the production and put.
chase Of tobacco, and in c9nsonance with
sound State policy.
RESOLVED, That these gentlemen be re.
qIested to present the result Of their delibe-
rations to the mex! General Assembly.
ReSoIoed, That the president Of the asso-
cation communicate The above to the presi-
dent Of the State Agricultural Society.
The foregoing resolutions were adopted

tradesmen and manufacturers of Richm n ;,

Is worthless without the latter, and each is

PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Last Monday, when Judge Kelly adjourE-
ed for dinner, the candidates for the Senate
from Russell and Scott took the stand and en-
gagged the attention Of the people for about
three hours. Messrs. w God, Horton, lessee,
Queen, and Richmond made speeches. Mr..
Richmond withdrew from the canvass, sub.
ject to the action of convention if one.
should be held. s-1g-.-s-sE
There were several issues made between
the candidates. None of them favored 7epu-
diation. yet no one was in favor OF paying
the public debt. Each ore had bis method
of compromising with The boDdholders. Mr..
Richmond favored the Prepayment OF the
capitalion tax before the party should be
allowed TO vote. Mr. Queen opposed this
measure. We hear. the various candidates
advancing, their views as to q compromise or

Cincinpati-HerS Southern Railroad.

Cincinna ti-Her Southern Railroad.
The Cincinnati Commercial speaks Of the
Southern railroad, from that city to Chatta
nooga, as one Of the enterprises into which
Cincinnati has put millions; aud it speaks
with faint hope of it thus: "It is hoped
that the Southern railroad will do something,
but men Of ssgacity do not look upon the
Investment as a good one." Unquestiona
bly, not, in our opinion. Cincinnati would
be wise and do much to Offset the loss from
bad speculation by improving at once her
intercourse eastward on the mean line of Iati
tude followed by the Ohio river. That would
b. her salvation--her projection against the
heavy draw upon her from the North.

been in the Work-house innumerable

times.
ANTHONY HUMPERT, who halls from
Peppertown, Salt Creek county, Indiana,
arrived in the city this morning in search
of two confidence men. Anthony is q
business man in Peppertown, and yes
terday was visited by two mep IN a
buggy, who, under pretense Of being
short of money and desiring to buy some
goods, obtained $l05 on two worthless
watches, which were alleged to be gold
ones. The men, after they received the
money, departed and bought tickets for
this city. Anthony's suspision was
aroused and he followed them. He
placed the matter in the hands OF our
police, who are certain that they know
the confidence men.
ALDERMEN THOMAS and Fake held a
conference with Messrs. Neare and
Grossius last evening in relation of de-
termining why the contract for the prison
labor at the Work-house had been trans
ferred from Miles Greenwood to Perrin,
Gaff &c Co. The Trustees made state
ment that it was the best they could do
at the time. The price paid Tor the labor
is thirty-siX cents per day. The Trus.
tees considered the transfer as legal and
did not feel empowered to readyertise
for proposals until the expiration OF the
contract with Miles Greenwood. Capt
Neare was in favor that the city take
hold of the shops itself, as this would
without doubt, make the institution
self-sustaining. No action was taken
by the committee upon the subject.

SuROcUled,

A singular accident, which resulted in the
death Of one person and the partial su1ocatlon
OF three others, occurred at Che Gas works, on
Front street, about O'Clock this morning.
The victim was man named Frank A.
Lunke, a carpenter, residing at No. J8 Oehlel
street, and in the employ Of Duncan n Blanten
house builders, who at the time were erect
ing coke and coal elevator for the Gas
Company. On the premises of the Gas
WORKS there is mandatory carried
on by Mr.. S. Fales for the preparation
OF sulphate of ammonia, which, is attached with
considerable danger to the lives Of the en-
ployes, and for that reason no other person Is
allowed in the building. At stated times dur
ing the day the sulphuretted hydrogen gas
which is particularly sullocating, is allowed t(
escape, anu takes about twenty minutes Dur
ing that time no one is allowed IN the building
About O'Clock this morning, when the acc
dent happened, the deceased went into the
Ammonia Works to get some carpenters tools,
anu while there was suffocated, and died before
sufficient aid could lie brought 10 him.
Two other men, who attempted to enter tC
rescue him, were also partially suffocated and
rendered insensible, but were carried out IN
time TO save their lives. The Cotoner held an
inquest and u verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the facts, and attaching no blame to
any one.

AS AN ENGL1sHMAN SEES IT.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-A letter to the
Times, dated Catarro, Dalmatia, Sept.
9th, says: "The Importance OF the in
surrection in Lower Herzegovina dimln-
ishes on near approach, while in Bosnia
there Is nothing worth mentioning ex-
oept a panic and disorder, with an exo-
dus of women and children. In that
part OF Herzegovina lying west OF line
drawn from Nikshik to Ulostar,
the insurgents appear only as
bands without conference, discipline or
purpose. They are even without commu-
nication with the eastern portion of the
province. The Herzegovinian parts of
these bands are more Inclined to pillag-
ing and petty thieving than fighting.
Even the foreign volunteers, who make
the fighting nucleus, suffer from the pre-
daceous propensitles. They number in
all apparently between one and two
thousand, but the majority are generally
absent during the fighting, and only re.
appear when there is some booty 10 be
taken. OF the bands nominally under
Jubobvatics, not above three hundred
men mean fighting"

Leather and its manufactures are grad
ually becoming valuable article OF ex-
port from the United States. During the
last fiscal year we sent abroad nearly
seven and half millions in value Of
leather and leather goods, and this was
an increase Of nearly three millions on
the expectation of the year before. Much
of our leather goes to Germany, where it
actually undersells the German article.
The Chamber of Commercefat Frankfort
has asked for an increase in the import
duty of leather from six to sixty marks,
''in order to protect the native industry
from the competition of the cheaper
American manufactures" as Frank
fort newspaper announces. A few years
ago there was no sale abroad for Ameri-
can leather, it being maintained on the
Continent that our tanners did not know
how to make leather. The first exporta.
tion appeared in 1869-70, barely 100000
dollars, and year by year it has since
grown, and with it has come an improve
ment in the quality of the leather corre-
spending with the improvement in the
cattle which furnish the hides.
