Merchant Thinks u Can be Made So.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: i was
much Interested in the leading article in to-

which believe only needs to be alluded to to be
corrected. 1t was said in the article that we
could con- pete in "all classes Of goods tcxcept
woocn and linen fabricsl which 90 to South
America and Mexico" wish IL was so. but 1t
il not and cannot be so long as we have so high
protective duty on raw materials entering in

in those countries. How can we compete in
hardware and machinery. for example. when

To be sure we do il in some classes OF agricul-

The Rev. Mr.. MulIer's PRAYERS.

The Rcv. GEORGE MULLER Of Bristol
England, who is now on u visit to this coun-
try. is In the habit Of making some remark
able assertions respecting the results of his
prayers. He has for many years been en-
gagged in carrying on immense charitable
institutions at Bristol, and he AYERS that he
has got the means needed for the purpose,
not by asking benevolent people for them In
the usual way, but solely and simply by
praying to Cop for help when he wanted
1t. In answer to these prayers donations
have been sent him; and he has thus
raised, he says, altogether. s3.750,000, of
which $4,000 came in during the past year
alone.
1t strikes US that the facts Of this case are
Of sufficient importance TO merit more
thorough investigation than. 40 far as We
are aware, they have yet received With
out In the least questioning Mr.. MuL-
LER's truthfullnss, we may still doubt
whether he il fully informed Of all the cir
cumstances attending his experience, and
whether he is entirely justified in asserting
that the contributors to his charities OBJ
tanned no knowledge Of his necessities
by natural means. We should like to
have their testimony as to the steps which
led them To do as they did. Ii may turn out
that, while Mr.. MULLER was praying, in
full faith that no other agencies were at
work. the friends Of the institutions for
which he wanted assistance were likewise
quietly soliciting it by written appeals and
by word Of mouth. IL would be important
To know likewise, how much publicity had
been given by the pulpit and the press TO
bo iafa nft hn anita ~,
Quoting and their claims upon the bounty OF
the charitable Full information on these
points is Indispensable to the formation of a
satisfactory opinion concerning the matter.
Besides, surprising that the facts should
prove, on investigation, 10 be- exactly as Mr..
MULLER relates them, and that numbers OF
people have, without any human interposi-
ton, been impelled 20 send money, provis-
ions, and clothing to institutions Of whose
condition they knew nothing, and whose
merits had never been laid before them:
must we. therefore, infer. as Mr. MULLER
does, that there has been special SUI
pernatural Intervention in his behalf
When the telegraph operator in America
manipulates his instrument so az TO send
n message To England, and the mes
sage goes, nobody regards the result as a
special miracle. Why should the fact, sup
posing it to be a fact that a man earnestly
desiring other men To do a certain thing,
can impress that desire upon their con-
sciousncss without speaking or writing TO
Them be- accepted rs proving that GoD-we
say 1t with all reNeronce-was the telegraph

be equally n 20, q religion and much better
science to conclude that some natural me-
dium IT cumnunica'i lion, resembling the mo
dium oi light. had been brought into play:
These are questions ia which men of every
creed are Interested and We trust that Mr.
MULLER may he the occasion Of having them

complain both Of treaty violations and Of
personal injuries. They dread being sent to
the Missouri river reservation because they
know by experience that it is unhealthy.
They complain that the supulations Of the
Black Hills Commissioners were not carried
out. RED CLOUD saws that his horses were
taken away by the soldiers. There seems.
in short, to bc n uniform experience in our
Indian diplomacy Promises are made to
the red men earelessly, to be broken culpa-
bly,. TO repair the wrongs thus done We
either have to make humiliating and expen-
sive concessions, or else still more humili
ating and expensive wars. Which Of these
results will come from the pending negotia-
tions remains to be seen; but at least the
Sioux are shrcwd in choosing the moment
when our troops have their hands full in
taking care Of JOSEPH and SITTING BULL, to
push their own claims. Tho true result,
also, Of the Washington pow-wow is not to
be determined by any hullabaloo Of success

be known from the conduct of the chiefs

MONTREAL. Sept 2j.-The directors Of the
City and District Savings Bank are endeavoring
TO find out who sent from here last Friday what

They are very anxious. for fear q panic may
arise. owing 10 the rumors in circulation re-

The Constitutional Amendments Killed
BY their Friends.

The action Of the Republican State Con-
ventim has settled the fate OF the proposed
new amendments to the State Constitution.
4 resolution declaring that they ought to
30 adopted was three times offered 10y Mr..
FOIsTIR Of Westcho-ter, hut it was first re-
ferrcd, then oyerridden bya call for the pre-
vou- question and finally tabled without a
division. The Republican party has, there
fore, practically pronounced against the
amendments, and as the Democrats have
been hostile to them from the first, their
rejection by an overv helming majority OF
the people j. assured.
For the causes which led 10 this result we
have not lar 10 look. The amendments had
some mcritorious features, but they were
proliX and complicated and fatally weighted
with an absurd provision restricting the
right Of suffrage in cities to persons paying
rent or taxes To- q fiNcd amount This pro-
vision was prepared by a commission Of
which Mr.. EyAKr5 was tho loadmg spirit,
and It's condemnation by the Republican
party another proof OF th" -mallc-t"cm in
winch hc il held by that organization.

cumstances not unlike those Of tho present
conflagration. the assigned cause was then,
as now, spontaneous combustion Fraudu-
lent claims had been passed and fraudulent
contracts had been made, which could be
traced by the official records. Investiga-
tion was impending and the short way to
escape detection was To burn those records.
The new House of Representatives will
certainly overhaul the Indian Bureau and
the Land Office rascalities. which have here
tOforc only been imperfectly exposed. The
parties Interested had, therefore, n motive
for the recent spontaneous combustion"
This fire excites no surprise whatever, for 1t
was long ago confidently predicted as among
the means which rogucs would employ TO
cover their tracks whenever danger was i'm
minent to their persons or their property.
Now that Mr. SCHrRz has his hand in, per-
haps he will favor the public with a scen-
tiiic essay on " spontaneous combustion" as
applied to public plundcrers.
The same sort Of fire Is likely to attack
the Treasury Department.

There is nothing new in the resolution on
