The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-01-13

THE French National Assembly, in
electing the seyentytive life Senators,
according to the London Daily News,
may be said to have made its political
will and testament, and nothing now
remains for it but to die as gracefully
and as soon as possibly. The election
of the delegates from the Municipal
Councils, Councils of Advertisements,
and General Councils, who should
choose 225 Senators for the departments
was announced to take place on the 9th.
These delegates are to proceed to the
election ofthe Senator's on the Odd. The
members of the Chamber of Deputies
will be elected on the Goth of FEBRUARY,
and the two houses meet on the 7th of
March. BY the beginning of March il
is anticipated that the new constitu-
tion will be i'll working order. It, is
earnestly hoped that it may endure,
and that from it may result that condi-
ton OF freedom, stability, and progress
in France which kings and statesmen
have for the past hundred years been
vainly endeavoring to bring about
Inter Ocean.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-01-13

IT is reported that at the late meeting
of the Democratic National Committee
it was agreed to concentrate the efforts
of the party in the South on South
Carolina, and that an agreement was
made that the sum of $1,000, 900 should
be raised as an election fund, on condi-
ton that $4,000 was raised by the
Democrats of that state. Half this
sum, it is said, has been pledged.
What do the pure and sanity Democ-
racy propose to do with this large sum?
Not quarter OF it is needed for run
ming the ordinary machinery OF the
campaign. It is reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that it is proposed to buy
votes where they can be had III no other
way. Iu this connection it will be
interesting to remember how many homi-
lies have been uttered by Democratic
organs upon the alleged corrupt prscti-
ces of Republicans at elections, and the
importance to the country Of q triumph
of the great and good Democratic party.
as the only instrument Of national
regeneration. At this rate it would cost
the Democracy about five and half
millions of dollars to regenerate the
whole country. Where can they get SO
large sum
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-01-13
Seats contested.

Way is it that every branch of the
Government surrounds citizens with
such an unusual parade of contracts and
bonds and minute specifications, SO
numerous and refined, thata compliance
with their letter is usually impossible,
unless it is TO make the business OF
corruption part of the official functions
of Government If man seeks equity
from the Government by ordinary pro-
cesses, he is as bad off as the man who
had pledged pound of flesh to the Jew,
Skylock. The Gordian knot OF super
fuCus specifications and inordinate red
tapeism can never be united, and It only
remains to cut it by addition, division,
and silence" This story, told by the
whisky men now come to grief, is not
new. They only repeat the experience
of almost every contractor who ever dealt
with the Government. Strictly constru-
ed man might far better attempt to
slight railroad" thai a Government
contract, no matter what his case might
be. He meets, as rule, mulish marti-
nets or hypercritical humbugs, or men
on the make. The exceptions are SO
hampered by presidents and prerogati-
yes that they can do nothing. The
whole system ought to be overhauled,
simplified, and purified. 1t is horrible
thing to have system of doing business.

thing it touches.

THE NAVY.
The Proposed Investigation into the
Recent Naval Expenditures.
From the n. Y. Herald.

From the n. Y. Herald.
The friends OF the Navy Department
profess not to be alarmed at the propos-
ed investigation of its affairs by Mr..
Randall. They say that the only of
Tense which can be proved against the
Secretary is that of having created
navy. They assert that, in the first
place, the Secretary will present no de-
fciency bill, and has not presented one
for five years, having been careful to
keep his expenditures within the limits
of the appropriations, and that he has
therefore no money to ask Tor beyond
the appropriations for next year. In
this matter they say the Navy Depart
ment has better record than some 9th
ers. Second, they say that, while ap-
propriat ons have been made in one
sum to different bureaus in the Navy
Departments, this Is the practice in 9TH
e. Departments also, and, ii any one is to
blame for it, It is Congress. Third,
they say that the naval appropriations
for last year were less than in any pre-
vious year since 1870; that the Virginius
year was the only one of excep-
tionally large appropriations /; that the
law forbids the use of money appropria-
ted under any one head for any other
purpose, and compels the department to
turn into the Treasury every year all
unexpended money. Fourth, they say
that with the means granted by Con
gress navy has been created and equip
ped, the active ships of which are fifteen
or sixteen ironclads and forty wooden
vessels, all ready for war service. Be
sides which the navy has large supply
of live oak and abundance of other sup
plies, and has done a great deal of seize
tific service. Finally, they say that,
without extraordinary appropriations,
except in the Virginius year, the navy
has been brought, since 1870, into a
highly effective condition /; that to do
this, leaving out the pay of the navy
and marine corps, which are constant
quantities, there has been expended an
average of less than 81, GOO. 900 per an
mum, and that the manner in which this
has been expended will be explained to
committee of Congress whenever it
! asks. AS there has been good deal OF
talk about the NavyDepartment and the
| probable result Of Investigations, these
statements of friends Vi the depa rtment
seem interesting.

a NORWEGIAN WHALERY.

On small island opposite to the town
OF Wadso, extreme north OF Norway,
there exists an establishment the like
of which is probably not to be met with
IN any part of the world. It's most ap-
propriate designation would be, perhaps,
slaughter-yard for whales; and Mr..
Foyn, its proprietor, conducts the
business of capturing and cutting up
the monsters in manner peculiarly his
own. Instead of fitting out the usual
sized vessel intended to make long
voyages and bring home only the most
usafnl parts of the animal, Mr.. Foyn
employees small-one hundred and fifty
or one hundred Al d eighty tons-screw
ste Gamers, shoots his fish with cannon,
and has them towed back. one by one,
az they are captured, to the shambles at
Wadso. AS the fishing grounds are
within easy reach of the latter, the
steamers, as rule, secure and return
with prize within twelve hours time
With respect to the cannon employed,
it is a gun having a chamber about four
feet long; this is mounted on the for
castle of the vessel, and, being very
accurately balanced, can be easily moved
to allow an exact aim to be taken. The
projectile in use consists of long iron
bolt, having at the extreme end four
harpoons, bound round with line SC as
to be fiat, and close to the harpoons a
FIVE to six-pounder shell. AS soon as
| the steamer has approached sufficiently
| near TO the ashland whales off that
