And on the subject of the general friendli-
ness of the house toward us, Mr. William IL.
Aspinwal gave about the same time the 1ol-
lowing valuable testimony:
When sent abroad with Mr. John NJ Forbes OF Boston,
with reference 10 the roncads then being hted out by
Mr. Laird of Liverpool, applied to Messrs Barring
Brothers Co. for the necessary TO carry out the
object OF our mission. These gentlemen unhesitatingy

Government thus showing most exceptional degree OF
confidence and sympathy at period when the public
feeling in London almost universally in favor OF the
South. and when United States Fvetweny bonds were
unstable there even at about forty. From motives OF
decacy public mention has been made OF this honor
abe act which certainly other house in Europe I'M
aided could have would have done.
These facts of course were perfectly well
known to our Government when the fiscal
agency was given to Mr.. Henry Clews i'll 1871,
and the "unfriendliness' of the Earrings was
alleged as a reason for the extraordinary
change SO that not only was the money and
credit of the Government recklessy Imperfect

prospect that the secrets of that combination

the tclcgraphic dispatches gently stated the
case, "intcrested parties" paid the trustee
$4,000 for the benefit of the creditors and
the suit was dropped. There are some things
which the Administration, OF its next friends
must keep dark, at any cost.

likely to make new friendships after that date
as enduring as the old nor will the wife mar

4 SHElF or CAMPAIGN ISLANDERS

At the outset of the campaign i'll this State,
when il was apparent that both parties had
made comparatively unexceptionable platforms
and had put up tickets very far above the
average, we warned the partisans OF
both sides that this would not be II
good year for throwing dirt. But the
old stagers felt uncomfortable and could not
he easy until they had started the campaign
in the good old fashioned way. 1t ia about
time for them to take an account OF stock,
and see how they have Jared, as far az they
have got.
One of the earliest stories was that Gov.
Tilden was breaking down,-was already in
fact paraiStc. The paralysis he has seems
TO be catching and on the whole it distuIbs
the thieves and his other opponents more than
it does him.
Another story was that Governor Dorshemer
was On the verge of some awful exposure
which was to destroy him from the face OF
the earth. Well, the exposure has come,
and the upshot of it is that the Governor,
like an honorable citizen, relieved himself IN
the proper way from the trusteeship of prop
erty which he held for the State, before enter
ing upon state office. His record in the case
seems absolutely clear, and the only effect of
the attack is to show the sore straits of the
party that makes it.
The Canal Commission, we were assured
was about TO fall to pieces. One of the Re-
publican Commissioners, Mr.. Orr, was Mortified
at the fact that the Commission censured ke-
publican and Democratic thieves with even
handed impartiality, and was unwilling longer
TO give his countenance to any such paItl-
san machine. Unwittingly the liars showed
the extent to which the reports of the
Commission were hurting them, by the I'M
mense importance they attached TO this alleged
retirement of one of its members. But Mr..
Orr has no bowels of pity. lie calmly rises to
say that he is not going to retire, has not
thought OF retiring, and that the whole story
is a pure fabrication
There was % tremendous catter of hard
names, accusations of bad faith and the like
because Mr.. BigelOw declined the Republican
nomination and accepted that of the Demo-
Gratis Some happy moralist APPLY hkened this
TO the conduct of the blackguard who re-
venges himself on the woman who rejects his
offers by aepersing her virtue The whole
State has seen the point, and contented itself
with laugh at these modern reyers Of the
sour grapes they could not reach.
The Democrats began by abusing Gen.
Spinner In so far as this has had any effect,
it has been only to commend the sturdy old
General more effectively to the good will of
the people who have long known the honesty
and fidelity with which he has served them,
and are not unwilling to let him see it.
On the whole. the dirt throwing hasn't paid.
Campaign lies are even shorter-ved than
usual this year.

Last Monday, in calculating tho political forces
which would determine the result of the Ohio cleo
ton, THE TRIBUNE arrived at the conclusion that
so far rs could be judged from the data accessible
Gov Allen lacked $500 votes of the number neces-
sary to elect him. On Wednesday morning, out Oh
the confused and sometimes contradictory returns,
we reached the estimate of 5000 as the Republican
majority. which was much below the figures of most
of the other papers And now it turns out that TIE

actual majority for Hayes is between 1900 and

Already the prediction is fulfilled that was
made when the tax bill was rushed through
at the close of the last Congress. 1t was gen
orally believed that the chief effects of the
additional tax on whisky had been discounted by
the large dealers, and that little revenue would
be derived from it until the large stock, prepared
before the new tax took effect, should be ex-
hausted. The whole income realized from this
measure fails several millions short of what Its
projectors estimated, and although an improve
ment in the revenue thus obtained now begins
to appear, the purpose for which the bill was
nominally passed-that of providing large
sum for the immediate needs of the Govern
ment-has not been accomplished. what the
bill has principally secured is large proht
for the whisky operators that took advantage
of it's passage.
Another move in the defense of the Tweed
case has been defeated. The object was to
delay the trial so that it should not come up
during the November term. An appeal has
been taken from the decision of the General
Term that Mr.. Tweed was not entitled to
bill of particulars The defense asked for
stay of proceedings till the appeal was de-
Cided Judge Lawrence refuses to grant this
delay. The ground of refusal is that there is
no reason to believe that the appeal will
amount to anything. There is reason for con-
graduation on this opinion and decision. The
motion for stay of proceedings and the ap-
peal. are of piece with the original demand
for bill of particulars-a demand of intOler-
able insolence, when it is considered that the
defendant was party to the destruction OF
the vouchers from which the particulars in
question might have been CLEANED.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
1t is Necessary to Proceed in Order to Pro.

The Lessons LOuisianians Should Learn
from the Progress of Our Sister State.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 30, 1875.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 20, 1870
this progressive community, to sustain ones
confidence in the business energy and enter.
prise of our own population.
1t is in vain we boast of our natural advan-
tages. We lag in their development There
is little room to doubt that, if one-third of
the capital, enterprise and energy that has
been expended by st. Louis to induce Texas
and Southwestern trade in this direction, had
been PIT forth by New Orleans, to-day we
would have undisputed sway in that direction.
Political debauchery does not satisfactorily
explain the difficulty. A great many OF our
merchants proclaim their entire exemption
from all political craftsmanship. Even those
whose unselfish devotion has contributed so
much to hasten the day of our delivery, grow
weary of well-doing That plundering taxa
ton and fraudulent expenditures OF the pub
lie funds have well-nigh drained our re-
sources is true 1t becomes, therefore, all
the more vitality necessary that our resources
should be husbanded and extended rather
than that they should be abandoned and cur
tailed
The lesson taught by st. Louis, then, is
support to railroads to the West from New
Orleans will eventually succeed. The mere
starting of these enterprises checks and i'm
perils the progress of our competitors.
Let our merchants send out more "drurn-
mers," and show our old friends. who have
SO long dealt with us, that we will at least
strive for their continued patronage. Let
them offer inducements, sell at small profits,
or no profits, till we offer all the facili les
of our more prosperous neighbors of the
North or West We find many of our former
clerks and solicitors, well known to the
former patrons of our city, who, driven
away from home, to-day carry their influence
with them in this direction. I hope no one
will take SO narrow view of this very seri-
GUS matter, as to desire to close the eye of
our people to these plain facts. We must
look the matter squarely in the face, and pro-
vide remedy. Those who second the intel
Igent and public-spirited efforts of Mr.
Wheelock are pointing the way in which all
should follow. Yours, D. l..
