Results similar, and possibly even more

AFRANK PLEA FOR PROTECT. On

We have received from the Manufact-
uring Chemists Association of the Unit
ed States a circular setting forth their
claims to "equal rights" under the pro-
tectlve tariff system of this county. 1t
is novelty in the literature of its kind.
1t does not attempt to justify the lmpo-
sition of the teriff on chemicals and me-
dicinal preparations on the familiar theo-
ries of the protectionists. Nothing is
said about the necessity of encouraging
'infant industries" There is no intima-
tion that the manufacturing chemists of
the United States would not be strong
enough TO go alone, under tariff proper
ly revised aud made for revenue only
They expressly shirk 'any discussion of
free trade or protection to home indus
tries'-an evasion which is very signifi-
cant. Their sole plea is this-tbat as
long as protective tariff is maintained
for the benefit of American manufac-
lures, they have as good right to its en-
joyment as men engaged in other BRAN
ches OF industry. And who shall say
them nay? Such an argument is logical
and strong, and as long as the manufact-
uring chemists OF the United States stick
to that their position is impregnable... The
.arif discussion is simplified very much
when all the old specious reasoning is
thus abandoned by the protectionists,a and
the whole question dwindles down to the
right of A to the same favor which the
tariff extends to B aud Q, who have no
better claims to the patronage than A.
The sturdiest free trader will not deny
justice of the complaints made by these
parties. They have an undoubted right
to grumble over the proposition made in
the last Congress-to be renewed it is
said a. the next session-to put chemi-
Gals, &C., on the free lists, while the pro-
ductive duties are still to be kept up on.

~. Il. BanAs and Others.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The particu-
lars of the connection of General Banks
with divorce case, is as fellows: John
Q. Thompson. an Indiana newspaper
man, brings suit for divorce against his
wife, who has been employed in the
treasury Department here, charging.
among other things, that she has at divers
Times and in sundry places committed
adultery with Gen. n. p. Banks and
others, specifying several occasions during
the years 1872 and 1873. lie also charges
that Banks obtained for her position in
the Treasury Department, and that while
there she lived as his mistress. Mrs.
Thompson had previously brought suit
against her husband for divorce, alleging
that he has failed to provide for her sup
port for the last five years, and has been
anfalthful to his marriage VOWS This
suit came on during the Special Term of
the Supreme Court, sitting with equity
jurisdiction for the month of July last,
and Justice Wylie made decree grant
ing divorce to Mrs. Martha s, Thompson
from her husband, John @. Thompson.
The declaration of the petitioner showed
that the parties were married on Christ
mas day, in the year 1858, and that two
children were the result of that marriage
She alleged that he had neglected to sup
port his family for the past five years,
spent his earnings in dissipation, treated
her with cruelty, and was the cause of
her being discharged from Government
place. The day succeeding that OH
which the decree was made Judge Wylie
granted an order setting aside the decis-
ion of the previous day, on condition
that answer was filed by the defendant
within ten days.. This was done on
Tuesday, and The husband recites that
the complainant instituted similar suit
in the State of Indiana, and said that she
was resident of that State. He charges
that she has failed to observe her m marriage
VOWS, and accuses her of improper con-
duct with Eddie Julien in 1862; with
Miles Hubbard Thompson, clerk IN the
Treasury Department, in November, 1864
at the Metropolitan Hotel; at house on
Thirteenth street, between | street and
New York avenue, and on Sixth street.
near d street. He also discovered a
correspondence carried on between her
and M. II. Thompson in December, 1867
which was wrong and for wicked object
and which Thompson admitted was So.
The husband further alleges that she was
guilty of improper intercourse with
Nathanal +. Banks at different times,
and with one Joe Kendall, at the resi-.
dence of her mother, in Shelbyville, Ind
in the years 1872 and 1873. He asks the
Court to dismiss the bill in so much as
granting divorce from him.

pamphlet of forty pages, containing ex-
tracts fro m the Official Report on Hor-

Prof. ia mes e. Watson, Professor of
Astronomy at the University of Michigan
Member of the Board of Judges for In
struments of Research and Precis ion and
Chairman of the Committee of the Board
of Judges on Chronometric Apparatus,at
the Centennial Exhibition. ...
These extracts include full tables of
the performance of all watches entered
for competition, giving detailed and
careful account of the thorough tests that

report presents, in clear and indisputable
terms, conclusions which are of the ut
most Importance to all who would pos
sess themselves of trustworthy time
piece.
The following quotation is made from
page 26 of the Report: ...
at is not the purpose of this report to
make direct comparisons of the produc.
tions of different manufacturers The read
er who is curious in such matters will find,
IN most cases, the requisite data under the
heads of the report relating to the exhibits
In question. But in order to convey to the
general reader an idea of what the system
of manufacture under consideration has
made possible in newly developed indus
try fnthis country, it is proper to state here
that the reporter has compared the results
of the trials as heretofore given with those
furnished for all the first-class fully -ad-
Justed watches in the International Exhi-
bition, and that it is clear beyond question
that the chronometerS numbering 670,04
67O0s2 and go O95 (Waltham Watches) are
altogether superior to any other exhibited"
An Appendix contains extracts from
the address of NJ. Edouard Favre-Perret,
Commissioner from Switzerland at the
