THE GARNET CRISIS.

The multiplicity OF recent rumors
have attracted quite a number Of Con-
gressmen to Washington, anxious to
press the claims Of ~favorites or to pro-
tect their pets in the departments
whose ohieftains may be decapitated.
As n poison is sometimes used to
kill another, so it is said that Nipple
Mitchell and Ben Halliday are work
ing to GUST Delano, the motive as
signed being that he refused to .coun-
tenance some schemes Of theirs in con.
nection with the Black Hills furore.
The Washington Star, of Monday, has
the following bearing on this point:
1t is now said that the efforts to dis
place Secretary Delano from President
Grants Cabinet, arise from a combined
movement IN the part Of Senator
Mitchell, Ben Halliday, Rufus ingalls,,
and others, who desire him to be sue
ceeded by some person who will Join
with them in securing TO a corporation
already formed, and IN which they are
interested, the Black Hills Indian
country.
Delano is very poor material to make
a martyr Of for conscience sake, and
this story is "too thin" A dispatch to
the Nel0 York Sun says the public need
not be surprised if MI. Robson and
Mr.. Belknap should be stricken down
with the "resignation' epidemic. Both
have been suddenly concerned about
private business, with which neither
vas much troubled before going into
the Cabinet. They probably see be-
fore them the alternatives of returning
to obscurity, OF confronting an investi-
CATION that might affect Robes5n's d.
gestion and Belknap's grandeur. In
fact, the new House Of Representatives
is acting as a great political Alternative
nine months before the meeting Of
Congress, and there is no knowing how
seriously it may affect the whole adj
ministration.

A CONTRACT completed on the 18th
inst. between BIr. Patterson. Of Den
yer, and the Wharf Company of Gal
weston, Texas, for the immediate build
ing Of a grain elevator in the latter
city, probably marks the beginning Of
a new era n the history Of the grain
trade west Of the Mississippi river. It
Is difficult for commercial people in tire
East TO realize that the railroads COM
pleted within the past two or three
years have brought almost every point
IN the United States west Of the Mis-
sissippi river nearer to Galveston than
to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, or
Baltimore. Already some branches Of
Western trade have shown a tendency
to turn toward the South. Pro
priet5rs Of Kansas City packing
houses shipped last year considerable
QUANTITIES. of beef and pork into Texas,
aud the trade, which was found to be
mutually advantageous TO tie Missouri
packers and the Texas planters, viii be
much larger the coming season. An
experimental cargo Of grain was also
sent to Liverpool by The way Of Galyes-
ton, and with the completion Of the
new elevator, early in the coming sum
mer, enabling the transfer Of grain
directly from the cars to vessels, this
branch Of trade may be expected to re
ceive a great impetus. In return, Gal
weston merchants believe that with
favorable rates of freight upon the
railroads they Will be able to compete
successfully, not only for the trade Of
a large part Of the west IN West India
and south American goods, but also In
manufactured goods from Europe.
Westward freights from many Of the
leading European ports to Galveston
are always low, since a great number
Of vessels come out every year in bal
last and return with cargoes of cotton !

COmPTRnLLER,s WAnn,nnr

We publish this morning a commu-
nicatiOn from one Of the most inteIh-
gent subscribers Of the UNION AND
AMERICAN, requesting information as
to the purpose and effect Of the act of
1875, chapter 81, "To authorize and
regulate the issuance of warrants"
The Comptroller is absent from the
city and we have not conferred with
the Treasurer as to the proper con-
struction of the act. There does not
appear TO us to be any difficulty or
doubt upon the subject. The act of
1875 does not change the law as to
Comptroller's warrants except so far
as it directs the Comptroller to have
them engraved in denomina-
tons Of one, two, five,
ten, twenty, and fifty dollars
on good bauk note paper, payable to
or bearer. No more than $780, 600 Of
these warrants, 50 engraved. shall be
outstanding and unpaid at any IA
time. They are to be issued forcuTrent
expenses only, just as now. They are
net redeemable or payable in currency,
but only as C~omptroller's warrants
now are, for taxes or other dues to the
State. All Comptroller's warrants
over and above the $4,000 so out
standing, and all for odd dollars and
cents have to be issued in the same
manner and form as heretofore.

THE London Times, which is gener-
ally supposed to be strongly German IN
It's s~ympathies, gives the following x
PLANTATION Of the course adopted by
Germany toward Beigium-an ezpla-
nation which is certainly ingenious if it
rs not absolutely correct:
The feeling that secretly aDimates
her present legislation is that religious
liberty is the liberty Of charlatanism
and imposture, which should be re-
stricted by the State in the intellectual
and moral interests OF the community.
BUtthe Germans must be content to
make experiments IL this direction on
their own soil. They may succeed in
establishing new principles, and the
word may come to them forlesscns, as
it did three centuries ago; but until
they have demonstrated the sOUndness
Of Their policy by its success, the other
nations are likely TO keep to the old
ways.

Col. De VALLIERE, head Of the
Swiss School OF Artillery, figures out
the annual cost, on a peace standing,
Of the armies Of Germany, Russia,
France, Austria and Italy at Sl,34l,-
100000. This is allotting only $780,
600 to Russia, her Asiatic forces being
excluded, as not Ikelyto participate in
a European war. The aggregate force
of the five powers named Is 100000
men. The annual expenditures Of
Russia, Germany and France for their
maintenance averages S350,000,O00,
while tlose Of Austria and Italy are

rible drain on the productive indus

MONDAY morning last, at a very
early hour, all the approaches to Lou
isviIIe were guarded by the police, who
took from each incoming milk wagon a
sample Of its contents. The search
was a very thorough one, and it is sup
posed that all the milkmen were repre-
scented, their names and result Of the
analysis of their milk being given by
the local journals. It seems NE milk
''panned out pretty well, only one
dealer being served with a warrant.
Few Of the samples fell short morethan
four or five points in a thousand.

NOTWITHSTANDING the well-sustain-
ed clamor Of hard times, we suspect
that the following remarks from the
Richmond Enquirer Of the 23d apply
with equal force in Tennessee:
We really believe if the facts could
be ascertaIned and a complete account
taken Of the wealth Of every individ-
ual in Virginia, including the ready
money he has on hand now, It would
be found that, leaving the single mat
ter of slave property out Of the ques-
ton, the people Of Virginia are better
of to day than they ever We're IN "a
worldly point Of view. There is plenty
Of money throughout the State, and
every person has a little Of it. and is
IN comparatively good circumstances.
It is more equally divided than it was,
too; the pooI being richer and the rich
poorer. We suppose it would be diff
cult to find a man who works, or Is in
business at all, that could not show a
very fair purse; and there are more
people at work than We get credit for.

THE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.

The New York daiies present a Curl
GUS diversity Of opinion in summing up
the commercial developments of last
week. The Times tells us "the week
which ended On Saturday last was one
Of reviving confidence" and cites the
improved bank statement, showing an
increase Of 3d. 300 in legal tenders,
which have flowed in from the country
in payment Of spring purchases. The
Tribune, on the contrary, says "a ON
mercial review of the week presents
scarcely a single feature of an encour-
aging nature, and laments that the
export Of specie has been resumed, at
tributing this movement to "untimely
speculation which has maintained the
prices of many Of our great staples
above the exporting point" 1t argues
that u surplus products should be
unloaded, holding that prices are only
Of secondary importance to the general
welfare. The Times perhaps lays too
much stress on the influx Of currency,
and the Tribune on the shipment of
specie The one about balances the
other, and the Herald probably comes
nearer hitting the mark than any when
it says:
During the past week the CONNER
cial and financial situation has not
been disturbed by important changes.
Nor can 1t be said that anything has
occurred to modify the faith that is
expressed ID the developments Of the
future and their influence upon the
general trade of the country. Though
cur growth be SLOW it is not the less
certain. Though 1t may not be felt its
various processes are still at work; and

were 1t not for the disastrous competi
ton at present existing the earnings
would doubtless be more encouraging

There is another element which perhaps
has not been fully considered in this
connection. Wherever our great news
papers circulate the laboring classes
are being educated, and the agitation
Of questions involved in the issues be-
tween capital and industry has brought
these issues more than ever prominent

Delano is unpleasantly situated. If
he goes out of the Cabinet now It Will
he charged that he retired before grave
accusations of peculatiOn IN his high
Office, and if he don't go out Con-
gress will probably prove what ischarg-

Gu pump meets everything Objectionable in
other pumps brings up a stream one and one
half inches in dismater almost without effort, Is
simple, durable and cheap; it cannot get out OF

and ten months without any perccptible wear in
either buckets or tubing. They produce the
most perfect agitation 30 necessary to pure
water. This pump applies the principle Of at

suction, by using the endless chain with but
three buckets in a well OF cistern. so arranged
as to keep one in tube az a time, causing a con
slant flow Of water, thus raising twice as much
water in a given time as the common break
