wood, hard earth, or little images Of their

to cover the substance with pearly deposit,
which hardens and forms an artificial pearl

great extent at Ningpo, and the articles thus
obtained are considered very little inferior

Ordinance No. e5.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me, in a few
words, to criticise ordinance No. 95 of
the city Of Seattle, which, without any
further preliminaries, unhesisatingly
pronounce, a piece of 'highhanded i'm
position and injustice upon certain
classee of our citizens, who are compar-
atively poor and hardworking men. who
perform all the drudgery of the city, ex-
posing themselves to all inclemencies OF
the seasops, and who have hard enough
time to make living for themselves and
families without being subjected to such
invidious, Unjust. and class burders,
which this ordinance imposes on them
1t is the legislation Of ,redlth against labor;
and none but abject slaves will willingly
submit to it. TIE only source from
which revenues for the support of gov
ernment can justly come is through
direct tax on the wealth of the people.
But ordinance No. 95, SO far as it goes.
exempts wealth from taration and i'm
poses it on labor.
To CARRY out the principle of license,
why not impose it on the Druggist. the
Butcher. the Grocer, the Hardware mer-
chant, the Dry Goods merchant, and
every other occupation as we'll? Why
single out the comparatively poor and
hard working men and impose burdens
on them who have already mole than
they can conveniently carry? 1t seems
to me this ordinance was passed with
but very little consideration; and the
sober second thought of the city fathers
ought to lead them to its immediate re-
peal. F. H. NJ.

REPUBLICAN APPEAL FOR AN
HONEST COITNT.

The following Isl copy of the appeal
being circulated among New York bank
ers, business men and others who voted
for Hayes.
Inasmuch as tho present condition OF
public affairs, growing out of the recent
Presidential election, creates great and
general distrust am ong the people, which
has already seriously disturbed business
and is likely to disturb it still more seri-
ously for months to come, unless the can
vass Of votes in certain disputed States be
conducted with the utmost impartiality
and fairness, so as to convince the whole
community that the will of the people, as
expressed by their ballots, will be carried
out and not defeated by partisan contri-
vances.
We, members of the Republican party
who voted for its national candidates,
unite in urging upon all who are entrust-
ed with the responsibilities bearing upon
the result to discharge their duties prompt
ly, impartially, fairly and in the presence
Of representatives of both parties, through
out the entire proceedings, so that by an
honest count and true return of the
votes actually given the agitation of the
public mind may be calmed, the paralys-
is of trade arrested and our traditional
confidence in the integrity and efficiency
OF Republican government be preserved.

Impeachment of Grant.

The New York Herold, of to- day, an
gues that Grant should he impeached
upon his own understanding of the law
as acknowledged in his message upon the
Louisiana outrage last year. The Herald
then says:
"lf the law Is such as he described il he
has clearly made himselfliable 10 impeach-
tnent by this new interference with State
Legislature. Unfortunately for him the i'm
pesching power is now in the hands of his
enemies, and there Is no reason why they
should not exercise IL. We presume the first
business OF the House of Representatives,
when il assemblies next week, will be 10
vote for his impeachment and appoint a
committee to draw up the articles. 1t will
easily be made to appear that President
Grant has not only violated the constitu-
tion but sinned against knowledge. The
passage we have quoted from his message
leaves him without excuse

torial on the outrage in South Carolina.
says:
"The House of Representatives, fortu-
oately, meets on Monday. Charges against
Tho President must forthwith be prepared
and presented by the House to the Senate
Tor violating the law and his oath of Office
by ordering his Secretary of War, Mr.. Cam
cron, to send troops to South Corolina for
the purposes specified in his order. With
these there must also be prepared and pre-
scented charges against Secretary Cameron
'or executing an order against which it was
his duty To protest, and which it was his du-
iy to have resigned rather than execute
Similar charges also should be prepared and
presented against every Cabinet Minister
who can be proved to have counselled or
aided in preparing the order.
If it can be proved that neither President
Grant nor any member of his Cabinet gave
orders justifying the uses to which the
troops were put at Columbia, then every
officer responsible on the spot for the con-
duct of the troops must he put on trial by
court martial.

The Situation.

To-day is unchanged as to the main de-
sire of the people to know certainly who
will receive the electoral vote necessary
TO elect the President.
But the conduct of the Democrats in
South Carolina under the influence of
Gov. Wade Hampton is the admiration
of all parties. Even his political foes de-
clare he deserves to be Governor and they
would prefer that he should se if they
visited the Palmetto State.
The Count in Florida shows clearly
that all the efforts oftheReturning Board
cannot conceal the fact that Tilden has
carried the State.
In Louisiana the Returning Board are
determined to consume time and delay
count until the time arrives for them to
declare to give the vote to whom they
please. Tilden will be President. There
is little doubt of this, and that too by
fair count of the Senate and the House.

Grants Carpet Nag Rsbeliiss.

The corrupt sowing in Louisiana in
1872 and again in 1874, that is now bios
soming so luxuriantly in that State and
Florida, ripened in fruitful harvest of
revolutionary violence in South Carolina
yesterday. In 1872 the first step was
taken In usurpation and military despo-
tism by President Grant when he sane
toned the now undisputed fraud that
made Kellogg Governor, and employed
the army and navy to maintain govern
ment that has since been formally con-
demned by two Republican Congresses.
In 1874 the second and more advanced
step was taken when Sheridan entered
the hall of legislation which has bayOnets
and forcibly elected men who were sub
sequeatly declared elected and re-seated
by Mr.. William A. Wheeler and his fel-
low Republican Congressman.
These usurpations, violent and alarm
ing as they were to the great body of
men without earnest protest from the best
Republicans of the North. 1t was these
dangerous precedents to breed more ap-
paling usurpation in the future that call
ed out such men as William NJ. Evarts,
William Cullen Bryant, George VIM.
Curtis, Whitelaw Reid, Carl Schurz and
the whole Republican press that had an
aspiration above dependent organism, to
protest against such assaults upon the
most vital attribute Of free government.
In South Carolina the President has
advanced but single step beyond his
last. Louisia'a employment of the sword
to overthrow justice, but that one step
brings the American people TO the very
brink of the terrible precipice where they
can see the anarchy in which govern
ment of liberty and law is about to be
plunged. In Louisiana corrupt court
was chosen to corrupt the law and thus
give plausible preteXt for the subver-
sion Of the government of the people; but
the one step that the President has ad-
vanced in South Carolina yesterday, cuts
loose from the least pretence ofrespect for
law, and precipitates an entirely peaceful
State into the..hopeless anarchy oflawlcss-
ness and violent military despotism.

Senator Morton has had an interview
with the President, and 1t is said he be-
lieves in stern measures, and assigns as a
reason that ''most of the Southern States
have been in quasi revolutionary condi-
ton ever since they were reconstructed"
The true reasen for all the trouble and
for most of the poverty and distress is in
the fact that such politicians as Mr..
Morton desire to grind them down by
heavy taxation imposed by officers foist
upon them against their will, and who
seek to array the blacks against the whites
and thus foment discord and trouble, and
upon the excitement thus occasioned, ride
into power through the aid of federal
bayonets.
