New-York tribune., 1877-11-09

Whether from design or not, President Mac
Mahon is trying the patience of the Repub-
liCan deputies to the utmost. 1t may he, that
acting on the pernicious advice he constantly
receives, he retains the De BrOglie Ministry
in the hope that the Republican Deputies, by
invalidating Conservative elections, will pro-
woke the Senate to make common cause with
the Administration. Without this support he
must submit, unless he follows the counsel of
reckless adventrers who would appeal to
force. So far, the Republicans have given no
reason to fear that because they are strong
they will be unjust. The Senate may show IL
similar spirit.
New-York tribune., 1877-11-09

Further controversy in regard to the formal
tiles which Americans will have TO OBJ
serve in preparing for the Paris Exhibi-
ton will be avoided, if Congress acts
fayorably on the bill which is to be
reported next Monday. Had the last
House of Representatives accepted the French
invitation, no misunderstanding would have
arisen, and we might, by this time, be as well
prepared as the Canadians, who will soon for
ward their exhibits. According to the telegram
this morning, Congress must now authorize
Commission, or the country will be unrepre-
sented at the industrial display.

There is no occasion TO find fault with the
storm. 1t is an old-fashoned one, and gave
fair notice OF it's coming so that 1t was
predicted nearly forty-eight hours in ad-
vance. 1t is not moro violent than the
average of its kind, and the speed with
which it came hither from the distant
West is not so abnormal as that Of the two
previous storms. There is only one way 70

New-York tribune., 1877-11-09

Many interesting facts have been drawn out
by the recent circular to Consuls, issued by
the State Department, in regard to encourag-
ing foreign trade in American goods. 1t is
plain that the markets of South America are
open to us whenever we are prepared to take
advantage of them: but that hitherto, through
supineness on the part of our merchants, this
trade has gone principally to England. In Bnt-
ish Guiana American goods are popular; but
they reach that country only by way of England,
although the United States is Il large consumer
of DemeTara sugar. If the trade with Guiana
can only be increased by changes in our tariff
according TO the well-knOwn free-trade the
orv-the logic OF the situation would seem to
point TO a reduction Of the duties on sugar.
There will be less difficulty in augmenting or
trade with the Argentine Republic, since the
Consus' circular has awakened hearty responses
there. Also, certain tricks are now exposed, by
which inferior English goods have been palmed
off as American, after going through the
Argentine Custom House ut low valuation.
But if the reduction of our duties encourages
direct trade, how does it happen that our
commerce with that Republic has increased so
little since coffee was made treel
New-York tribune., 1877-11-09

II appears from the locality OF the recent
attack on the defcnccs of Kars that the Rus
slams are resolved upon reducing the intrenched
camp on the plain, southeast of the city. This
incosure is about a mile and a half square, and
is protected by five redans and two redOubts
1t is one of the weakest positions at
Kars, and requires large force to guard
properly its dcfences. The Turks have rec
gonized this fact by endeavOring to prevent the
Russians from establishing siege works before
it. But as the OttomaDs were driven back,
and one of the forts was actually entered by
the Russians, the prospects of the besiesed
garrison are considerably clOudCd.
New-York tribune., 1877-11-09

Yesterday the House discussed, for the most
part with moderation, the Army Appropriation
Bill, dragging in, of course the question OF
reducing the force, without, however,
coming to any conclusion. Mr.. Black
burn, of Kentucky, whom the country
has learned to know as rather an empty
headed person, seems TO have made speech
to the galleries marked by more than the
usual degree OF buncOmbe. The Blackbums
never remember, when they are getting
little cheap applause from the mot
lev crowd in the galleries of the House,
that the great, silent audience outside
hears them with unanimous contempt.
Meanwhile the officers of the army are losing,
as Mr.. Foster told the House yesterday, $4,000
day III interest, and all branches of the SER
vice are suffering for want of their pay. The
majority Of the House should heed the advice
Of such respectable Democrats as Mr.. Hewitt
and Mr.. Clymer put a gag on the Blackbmns,
and vote the suffering soldiers their hard
earned money.

I 1--we in San Francisco. and am a

strange one, and possesses certain fas-
cination, rendering it one of the most
agreeable of pursuits. Many who fol-
low it see nothing in it but labor-think
of nothing but its returns in gold and
silver. To me it has other charms than
the money it produces. am called
upon almost daily to open doors and
peer into long-neglected apartments; to
spring the stubborn locks of safes, and
gloat upon the treasures piled within !;
to quietly enter the apartments of ladies
with more beauty than discretion, and
nick the locks of drawers containing
notwithstanding missives. that the dan
rerous evidences of wandering affection
NAV not reach the eye of husband or
father, in possession of the missing key ;
TO force the fastenings of cash boxes,
and repositories of records, telling of
men made suddenly rich. of corpora
tions plundered, of orphans robbed, OF
hopes crushed, of families ruined. Is
there no charm in all this? no food for
speculation? no scope for the range OF
pleasant fancy? Then, who wonld not
be locksmith, though his face is be-
grimed with the SCOT Of the forge, and
his hands are stained with rust?
