AMERICAN GOODS ABROAD.

The extension of foreign markets
for American goodsis encouraging in
the highest degree to the skilled indus
tries of this country, The State De
psrtment at Washington has lately re-
ceived report from the American
consul at Amsterdam which. mentions
that an American house which at one
time largely exported leather, princi:
pally tanned calfskin, to the United
6tates, says 1t 10 now no longer export
ins, but imports from the United
States not only leather, but has begun
to import New England shoes, and
shat European, manufacturers cannot
compete either in price or quality
with the American, The house has re-
GENTLY sent d large order to New Eng
land for shoes, aud the junior, partner
was about leaving tforl the United
States to perfect and enlarge their
business relations. The extensive toy
making regions OF Germany are also
now In a state of great depressionloN-
ing to the superiority Of American
made tois. while in every other
branch of manufactures our mechan-'
les are rapidly outstripping all Ger
man competitors. y p.N toiusEan , ID.
An English trade journal of q. recent
date reports among Its items, of news
from Germany that many American
articles of household use are rapidly
superseolng in Germany all products
OF a similar but inferior character
hitherto used. For instance more at
tention has been devoted to new de-
signs for stoves and ranges in the
United States than in all other nations
combined, and the steady progress in
this direction has been accompanied
by corresponding improvements in
every domestic utensil. American
hard ware and cotton goods are attract
ing the notice of people in South
America who have hitherto depended
upon English supplies. The superiority
of American arms, sewing machines,
locomotives, cars agricultural imple-
ments, and nearly every description
of tools has long been acknowledged
In many portions of the world. The
Chinese and Japanese, who have
heretofore been flooded with England
cotton goods, now show tendency
toward American cottons as being
more durable and more elegant, in de-
sign. The people of Japan show a
strong desire to extend their business
relations with this country. Wc take
fully three fourths of all the tea Japan
exports. 1t is thought reasonable to
suppose that considerable portion OF
.England's export trade may fall into
our hands. The United States, ,estima-
ted by the bulk of its products, ranks
second among the manufacturing
countries of the world.-Balt. Sun.

Col. David Fl. Armstrong, just ap-
pointed United States Senator from Mis-
souri, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Bogy, is native OF
Nova Scotia, and of Scottish decent. He
was born in 1912,an settled i'll st. Louis
forty years ago. For many years he was
a teacher in the public schools of the
city. He took an active part in politics,
being democrat, and was elected comp
troller, and was afterwards appointed
postmaster under Buchanan. During
tie war his sympathies were with the
South, and being outspoken in his senti-
lnents was arrested and sentenced to
banshment for disloyalty. The sentence
was annulled, however, as bis alleg-
ed offence consisted only of imprudent
words and no overtact was charged against
him. On the return of peace he found
his party in hopeless minority, but he
did not despair, and Kept up the organi-
zation of the central committee through
every discouragement. In 1871, when
Jhe Republican party became divided
and placed in the field two sets OF candi-
didates for State officer, Col, Armstrong
lnaugurated the "passve policy" and
uad the satisfaction of seeing the State
Oass into the hands Of the democrats. He
vas elected to the charter convention,
and was subsequently appointed police
commissioner, position which ne still
occupies. Col. Armstrong is said to be
ali earAest advocate Of a government
subsidy to the Southern Pacific railroad.

The Chicago Times says that "Conk-
ling's motive in deliberately rupturing
the party and casting away his own
future prospects is net easily OWNED" A
perception of the fact that the question
with Conkling was whether he should
subside quietly or die a-6ghting will help
able editors to q proper understanding
of the great question.
The Cincinnati Commenced says: "The
unanimity of the whiskey ring for Sena-
tor Conkling is somthing touching. We
have not heard from the timber thieves,
but they are no doubt deeply affected"
This is not quite fair upon Roscoe. He
himself was not in the rings, but be to
lerated them as spots upon the glorious
sun of Grantism.
Blaine sends greeting to Conkling. His
organ, the Bangor Wing, says: at is
enough now to know that the republican
convention of the Empire State has
enulated the 'stalwartness' of Maine
and Iowa, and refused to hoist the STARS
and Bars' above the flag of the union to
'coneiliate' the gentlemanly white leagues
and rifle clubs of the South"
"The mission of the Democratic party
in the present Congress-" says the st.
Louis Times, "will be to hold po osition
of armed neutrality between the contend
ing republican factions, and give an in
dependent support to the administration
in its task of reforming the civil-service
and of allaying sectional bitterness and
antaP onism."

Georgia has two characters in Alexan-

Toombs (aged 81, They have figured
in politics for many years, and generally
acted together in politics. They are
born leaders,. Both were old-line- Wings
until the rebellion, which they supported
and both are now decided Democrats.
They have great and deserved influence
Stephens is in Washington preparing to
take his seat in the called Congress Oc-
tober 10. Toombs, who is not in public
life, is in Baltimore after now nearly IT
years absence. They were interviewed
by the Baltimore Gazette last Saturday,
and it will be noted by extracts from the
report that they reject with contempt the
effort to invalidate the title of President
Hayes, and pay the highest credit to his
Independence and patriotism. Toombs
says he is a better man than Tilden.
Stephens takes bold ground in favor of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, and
Toombs explodes the old story that he
once declared she would live to see the
day when he would call the roll of his
slaves on Bunker HILL" He declares 1t
to be falsehood that he has repeate, ly
yet vainly corrected. Like many 9th, r
fabrications, it is still repeated and be-
lieved.-Press.

THE TRAGEDY NEAR RICHMOND
KENTUCKY.
A DESPERATE KILLED BY GEN. cAssIUs


N. CLAY.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-Hon. Cassius M.
Clay yesterday morning shot and in
stantly killed a colored man named
Perry White. Gen Clay had employed
Whites mother as cook, but finding she
had been robbing him of silver-plate and
other articles, had discharged her. Yes
terday morning he started from his farm
six miles from Richmond, KY, to visit
colored church in the neighborhood for
The purpose OF hiring another servant.---
While on the way he discovered a loose
horse in pasture near the road and the
man Perry White endeavoring TO conceal
himself behind the animal. White had
threatened Clay's life, aud was known as
desperate character, and upon preceiv-
ing him Clay Immediately leaped down,
confronted White, and ordered him to
leave the place, and telling him that If
he moved from his position until he
(Clay) was remounted he wouldkill him.
AS soon as Clay started for his horse
White rushed after him, but Clay turned
suddenly, fired twice, hitting White in
the neck and breast. Gen clay then
rode to town and delivered himself to the
authorities. The feeling OF the commu-
munity is entirely with Clay.while White
had reputation of being bully ana a
dangerous man.
The following is the corners verdict
in the case: "Perry White came to his
death by pistol shot wound inflicted by

A dispatch from Iowa City on Satur-

ty, was shot and killed by Miss White
for alleged SANDER. She met Hollings-
worth and presented him with a writ

sign it. He denied the charge and re-
fused to sign the paper, upon which she
drew a revolver and shot him, not fatal
ly. He ran and she pursued firing a
second shot, which took effect. He
climbed upon a fence when overcome
by his wound, he fell to the ground.
Miss White then came up, placed the
muzzle of her pistol to his head and fired
third time, killing him instantly. Hol-
lingsworth was a middle-aged, well-to-
do farmer and leaves wife and family.
Miss White is a young lady of good
family who has always borne a good

adopted the taxpaying qualification
for voters. 1t requires all persons
on presenting themselves to vote to
swear that they have paid all taxes

OF course this debars all who fail or
refuse to pay a poll>tax. and it will.
therefore, have the effect of Practi
cally DISTINGUISHING a considerable
body of colored voters, for the col
ored voter in the South is generally
averse to paying all taxes. 1t was
argued in opposition to the measure
that it was an infringement on the
inalienable rights of freemeni but
this was answered by the remark
that freemen have certain inalien-
able duties TO perform. among which
was tax-paying, for the support of

H All the legislation of the
American Congress for the last ten
years has been directly in favor OF
the rich man and against the poor.
The bond-holders own the great bulk
of the wealth of the country and pay
no taxes. The labor of the country
is heavily taxed that a few may live
in luxury and ease. The working
men are not going to bear this state
of things much longer. Ii there 10
not a change in the policy of the
Government by which taxation is
equalized and money put in circula-
tion among the people, the recent
labor strike up North will be only as
q gentle breeze compared to a tor
nado. Four or FIVE millions OF fran.
tic men madly crying for bread, or
blood. is not a pleasant thing for
the bond-holders to contemplate.
