THE GENEVA Cross. The report that a
member Of the Red Cross Society had been
killed by the Turkish soldiers and the arm
on which he wore his badge cut off will
scarcely surprise those who remember that
the Turks have no reason to regard this
emblem with peculiar favor. Between the
armies of civilized nations these Red Gross
men have gone with impunity, indifferent
in the discharge of their ambulance duty
whether they fell into the hands Of one side
or the other. from a confidence that their
emblem and their function commended
them alike to the good will of every side.
But all that implied the Christianity of the
armies. Now they fall into the hands Of a
foe who sees in the cross not sign Of good
will and charitable duty, but the chosen
emblem of oil that he is taught 70 hate. L.
might be we'll fo- members of the society
to put on their arms small copy Of the
British standard as the only thing in the
world the Turks are likely to respect.

Justice for tho 1nnoccnts.

We are promised from Washington
speedy and full disclosure of wicked con-
spiracy on the part of Secretary Bristow and
his friends against the reputation Of Presi-
dent Grant and his administration, the
enormity of which will, il is thought, excite
the astonishment and in1ignation of the
country. The revelations, we are assured,
will be substantiated by the voluntary state
ment of one of the principal officials in
charge of the secret service arm Of the gov
ernment, leaving no room to doubt their
truthfulness. We must admit lack of con-
fidence in the testimony of these secret SER
vice gentlemen, who have evinced surpris-
ing facility during the late investigations in
giving evidence to suit the side to which
their interests have for the moment attached
them Nevertheless if this ''insidious and
astonishing conspiracy actually existed it is
proper that it should be exposed, and the
exposure cannot be too promptly made. 1t
may not be gratifying to the self-esteem of
the republicans who attached themselves
SO warmly to the cause Of Mr.. Bristow
to learn that they were imposed upon by
pretended reformer, whose alleged exposures
of frauds were only the fruits of wicked
conspiracy. But it must be remem bered
that some men who were prosecuted under
Mr.. Bristows administration are undergo
ing the pains and indignities Of imprison-
ment for their share in defrauding the rev.
enue, and that others who held honorable
positions about the Presidents household
are in disgrace in consequence Of their sup
posed completely in such offences. Of
course Mcdonald, Joyce. Avery and the
rest were tried in court of justice and con-
victed on what we must suppose was sufi-
cient evidence. At the same time this con-
spiracy may have extended far enough to
procure suborned testimony, or to conceal
explanatory and extenuating facts, for con-
spirators are very unscrupulous, and justice
to all who have been prosecuted or prosecuted
through Mr.. Brstow's instrumentality de-
mands that the facts should be made public
without any delay.

States is shown by the help Of some very
interesting figures given by Mr.. Wells. The
tendency Of all our laws affecting industry,
since 1860, has been 20 draw population from
agriculture to manufactures. We believe
Mr.. Wells is the first to point out how great
has been this change. He shows that If we
apply the rates Of increase in our chief agri-
cultural products between 1850 and 1860, to
the period between 1860 and 1870. and then
compare the result with the actual product
by census we shall find that we produce
actually less corn by twenty-six per cent,
less tobacco by twenty-seven per cent, less
pork by thirty-two per cent, less butter by
twenty nine per cent, less cotton by seventy
four per cent, according to Mr Wells,
than we should have produced had We
gone on at the previous rate OF in
crease. During lS50-ls60 improved land
increased forty-fo.r per cent in lS60-lS7o
only sixteen per cent. and we had in 1870
actually nine hundred thousand fewer neat
cattle, eight millions fewer swine and nine
hundred thousand fewer working oxen than
in 1850, with falling off also in the number
Of horses and mules. That is to say, large
part of our agricultural population had been
drawn off by the force and tendency of laws
largely.
The result is shown in the increase Of
manufactured produc:s-ffty-two per cent
in the period Of 1860 -1S70-with an increase
Of population Of only twenty-three per cent
Not only did more people go to manufactur-
ing, but their capacity to produce in this
direction was largely increased by new and
ingenious labor-sav;ng machinery. Thus in
1860 nine thousand persons in Cincinnati
engaged in manufacturing produced On aver
age value Of one thousand i've hundred dol
lars per head, but double the number in
produced a value of two thousand three
hundred dollars per head. Three men
can now produce as many stoves as six
in 1860. In dressing yarn one man and
boy now do the work which eight
men did in 1860. Similar results have
been obtained in great many branches
of manufacture. Unskilful legislation the
result Of ignorance and carelessness in our
rulers, has first impelled more men to manu-
featuring industries our native inventive
skill has at the same time greatly increased
the productive power of these hands, and
then our laws have disabled us from selling
the largely increased surplus product
abroad, where alone, of course, surplus can
be sold.
We should say, therefore, that this coun-
try, differently from others, suffers now
mainly from plethora of products that we
are too rich, rather than poor and that if we
could have sound currency and sufficiently
liberal revenue laws and thus revive our
foreign trade, and sell our surplus products,
our taxes, our war losses and our losses from
fires and bad investments would not seri-
ously trouble u.s.

mated Governor Rice yesterday without
much opposition. The Convention was har-
monious and the proceedings possessed
little interest apart from the speech of Mr..
boutwell, the Chairman. Mr.. Boutwell's re-
N ,rks are clear indication Of the promi-
neucc the republicans are giving TO the
southern question in this canvass. The old
battle between the sections is being tough.
over again. The real point in Mr.. Bout
wells speech, however, is the admission that
the result of the Presidential election de-
pends upon the vote Of New York. and this
confession makes the blunder of the Demo
cratic Convention at Saratoga all the more
hsinous.

GOVERNOR TuDKNs ADDRESS to the Confer
ence of Charities at Saratoga yesterday was
one of those philosophical efforts with which
he sometimes surprises the commu unity. II
is amusing, perhaps, to hear a Presidential
candidate trenching upon the domains of
biology in the very heat Of the canvass; but
Governor Tilden does well in forgetting for
. time the requirements of the campaign by
suggesting the enforcement of scientific
methods in the treatment of pauperism, in
sanity and crime.

The we.ther-An Approaching Storm.

Yesterday the area Of high pressure now
central over the lakes advanced q short dis
tance to the eastward, and, as q consequence,
We experienced clear. cool weather, with
partial cloudiness at intervals during the
day and brisk winds from the northwest
ward. 1t was noticeable that the light
clouds became speedily absorbed by the
dense dry atmosphere, and toward evening,
when the temperature fell. they disappeared
altogether. Southwest of and closely follow
ing the area of high pressure is decided
depression, which is central in the Lower
Missouri Valley and in which the barometer
has fallen below 20. 60 inches. The curva-
lures Of the isobars of this area show that its
line Of advance will be southwark fthe lake
region, and that it will reach the Allegheny
Mountains near Pittsburg and 80 bring US
storm Of considerable severity. Its arrival
at New York may be looked for by
Thursday or Friday next but many
causes combine to render its prog
ress eastward somewhat uncertain. The
wind will shift from northwest to north and
northeast in the meantime and finally to the
eastward. with a rising temperature, as the
storm draws near us.
Rains have occurred at all points in front
Of the low area from Fort Sully in Dakota to
St Louis, Mo-, and extending eastward as
far as Grand Haven, Mich. Brisk easterly
winds have also prevailed along this front.
especially in its northern portion. In the
Gulf of Mexico the indications of disturb
ance continue to present themselves, and
we may regard the existence Of storm GEN.
tire moving westward through the Caribbean
Sea as certain. In the extreme northeast
the area of low barometer still remains
on the Nova Scotia coast, but will soon
move into the ocean before the pressure Of
the high barometric area that follows it. The
weather in New York to-day will be slightly
warmer, with slightly increasing cloudiness
and northwesterly to northerly winds.

named Childs had gone to her
residence at the corner OF Bienville and
Franklin streets, where he found her In
the room OF Fourot. Fourot having or
dered Childs away, the latter complied,
but returned In few moments armed
