American Goods in England.

One day last week a correspondent of
the Times brought a great discovery to
the notice of that journal in the follow
ing letter: 81 CHANGED lately to go into
a village shop where cotton goods are
sold. On the counter lay a large piece
of cotton cloth OIL calico, on which was
stamped an eagleon a rock, occupying
ten inches, with the words: This
cloth was made in American and a
second piece, also American, with the
name of an English firm as agent, both
a penny a yard cheaper than the Eng
Gsh of the same, or rather inferior
quality" We must say that it takes
our ''enterprising'' daily contemporaries
a long time to find out what is going on
in u W country. Nothing more
important has ever happened in the his
tory of English trade than the threat
ened displacement of our cotton manu-
~facturers- by those of America. Yet
we have for months looked in vain for
a word in the leading journals IN the
subject. Piece-goods from the Lonsdale
Mills, of New York State, are now sold
in every town of England at a lower
price and sf better quality than Eng
lish goods of a nominally corresponding
grade. Is not the falling off of our
Lancashire trade very mysterious?
People who go about the world with
their eyes shut think it is. The fact is,
that the Americans are beating us in
our own field-a fact which may take
the political economists and city editors
a long time to digest, but which, unfor-
tunately, will soon be brought home to
us all by the spectacle of thousands of
workingmen thrown out of employment
and the hopeless paralysis of u chief
source of our commercial prosperity.
The disaster might still be warded off
if our manufacturers would only bestir
themselves to meet and dislodge their
rivals; but they are told by the city edi-
tor of the Times and other authorities
that it sis only a passing cloud;'' and
although they have been told the same
thing for three or four years, and the
cloud has not passed, yet they go on
believing it, and presently will be rude
ly shaken out of the TOOLS paradise in
which they have been slumbering. We
repeatedly told the public last year in
these columns that American manu-
featured cotton would be bought better
and cheaper in London than the pro-
ducts of the Lancashire mills. 1t has
taken the Times till July, 1877, to find
out the same piece of news. How long
will it take our contemporary to appre-
bend its full..meaning and significance?

AMERICAN BANKERS.
The Official Call for Their Annual Con.
yentiOn.

The official call for the annual conven
ton of bankers of the United States
which is announced to commence al
Association Hall, in New York city, or
the 18th of September, was issued on
Monday and sent to the $500 banks
which are expected to be represented
The call, which is signed by James
Buell., the President of the Importers
u Traders National Bank Of New York
sets forth the urgent necessity of full
attendance on account of the magnitude
Of the subjects to be discussed. It re-
fers to the heavy and discriminating y
taxation under which the banks are
placed, and states that united effort
will be necessary to obtain a repeal OF
the present laws. It then continues
+" Besides this vital question of tax re-
peal, which is SO necessary for the pros
perity of business and for the very ex-
lstence Of our banks in many parts OF
the country, there are other practical
subjects to be discussed. Prominent
among these is the unrestricted power
to issue municipal, county, and other
bonds, by which heavy burdens of tax
alton are being foisted upon the peo-
pie. These burdens are now so heavy
that they are frequent menace to our
public credit at home and abroad. I'm
less some judicious restrictions can be
devised to stop these reckless issues of
bonds, the outcry in favor of repudia-
ton will be oftener heard in the future,
although it is evident to any rejecting
citizen that the issuers of such bonds
are the men who should be punished,
and not the honest men who have given
their money in good faith for them"
The convention will last for three
days, and during the session the ques-
tons of the reconciliation of silver, the
resumption of specie payments, and
the union of the banks for the refund
ing of the debt will be discussed

The NeZ PerceS.

A Salt Lake Associated Press telegram
of August 23d says, Towards force in
pursuit of the hostile Indians passed
Pleasant Valley, Idaho, on the 10Th on
their way south. They went as far
south on the stage road as the Dry creek
stage station, eight miles south, then
turned eastward toward the head of
Camas creek. The hostile Indians had
crossed the range some fifty or sixty
miles to the westward, and had arrived
upon the stage road on the 18th, taking
possession of Hole-in-the-Rock, stage
station, twenty-six miles south from
Pleasant Valley. The Indians destroyed
the telegraph line in the vicinity, and
stopped stages and all travel upon the
road, and were in the neighborhood of
this station for three days. The Indi-
ans had been for nearly two days with
out water, when they arrived upon the
stage line, and the stock was much
scattered and in bad condition. They
stopped to gather all the loose stock
and feed the animals, using Or destroy
ing all the grain at the station, and de-
stroying all the property there, includ-
ing some twenty sets of harness. The
Indians left Hole-in-the-Rock station on
the 10Th or Goth, on the approach OF
Howard, going east or northeast. and
surprised Towards men who had

tain volunteers Capt Norwood and
Col. Sanford followed the Indians
with three companies of cavalry
and overlook them about six miles
distant, when there was a skirmish, in
which one Of the soldiers was killed
and six wounded. The soldiers were
taken to Pleasant Valley station, where
one named Samual A. Glass, has since
died. Howard has been reinforced by
Capt. cambridge, from Fort Hill, with
one company and about fifty Bannock
Indians, and are at present in pursuit Of
the hostiles, who are supposed to be
making for Henry's lake, which is about
sixty miles northeast from the stage

Eccentricities of Wheat.

The Monroe IN. c. Enquirer says:
Mr.. G. A. Winchester received a small
package of wheat from the Agricultural
Department last fall, which he sowed.
While it was growing he noticed that
two grains produced a different kind of
stock from the rest, and when ripe he
gathered eleven heads from these two
grains, and has saved them for planting
again. The size and shape of the heads
are the curiosity. They measure one
and half inches in length, about one
fourth of an inch wide and one-third of
an inch thick, the grains being in two
almost separate clusters, the whole head
having good deal the appearance OF
an ear of corn with about three rows
shelled out on two opposite sides. The
heads average about eighty grains each.
He wishes to find out the name OF the
wheat, if any one has any knowledge
of it.

ANOTHER SEA SERPENT.
: A Monster In Rice Lake, Canada.


HARDWOOD Cor. aug 1o.) Cobourg Ont. Sentinel.
The most intense excitem ent has been
created here by the appearance Of q
monster in the waters of our lake,
which, according to the descri ption
given OF 1t by those two have seen it,
rivals any of the specimens of the great
sea serpent. Two American gentlemen,
who are enjoying the lovely scenery Of
our lake and the good sport which it
affords, were out yesterday on fishing
excursion, and when off Whites Island
they noticed an unusual commotion in
the water, looking toward the north
shore. There surmises and doubts were
soon set at rest on discovering the un--
dulating portions of the body of mon
ster which was making his way up the
lake toward HARDWOOD. They at once
gave chase and were rapidly gaining on
the creature, when their courage was
tested by the monster turning around
and making directly for them. The
view they had Of it, and it is described
by them as having a head almost like a
horse, but twice as long, eyes fierce and
glaring, the color of the skin dark gray,
the gullet pink and having large but
apparently soft fins or long hair along
its back as far as SEEN They could not
see more than about twelve feet Of the
animals body, but think it must be over
sixty feet long. They succeeded in
reaching Idyl Wild, the monster having
disappeared before they got to the shore
This was about II o'clock in the morn
ing. At l o'clock two ladies and two
gentlemen standing on the piazza of the
Lake View House." saw the monster
pass the north side of Tick Island going
in the direction ofSpoeke Island. With
a good opera glass they were enabled to
notice more accurately the movements
of the monster serpent, for such now it
appeared to be, and in a short time it
had passed behind Spoke Island and
made directly for the mouth of the
when in that part of the lake which is
considering the river channel, and has
not since been seen from here Cap
tain Brady got his yacht, the Slug,
under way at once, and cruised around
the island for some time, but could dis
cover nothing of the alarming visitor.
[ will let you hear if anything further is
seen or heard of his snakeship.
LATEsT.-A gentlemen just arrived
from Cores Landing says the monster
was seen disporting himself between
Sheep Island and the shore. A party is
being organized to attempt its capture.
Two sportsmen fired at it. when it at
once disappeared.
am told that the ladies and gentle
men who saw the monster are about
making affidavit Of the fact before a
Magistrate In the meantime every
effort is to be put forward to effect it's
capture. [ will not fail to let you know
any further particulars that may learn
about this wonderful visitant of our
lake. [ understand the Indians are SO
alarmed that some of them intend re-
moving from the borders of the lake for
a short time at least, on until they are
better satisfied Of their security from
the horrid monster now in their vicinity.

American Navigation Laws.

The National Board of Trade adopted
on Wednesday a series of resolutions
demanding the repeal Of the Navigation
laws. Twenty-six members voted for
the resolutions and nine against them
The odious nature Of the laws was fifty
characterized during the discussion,
which, although it developed no new
points, was high testimony to the intel
Hgence of some of the speakers One
member called attention to the fact that
ships and obscene books are the only
articles the importation of which into
the United States is absolutely prohibi-
ted. The defense of the laws underta-
ken by Eastern members was feeble and
inconsistent. The speakers attempted
to prove at the same time that the repeal
of the laws would not result in the pur-
chase of foreign vessels by American
citizens; and that it would cause the
ruin of our shipbuilding interests; and
that we have no shipbuilding interests.
Any one of these propositions would be
difficult enough to maintain, and it is
not surprising that the persons who at
tempted to uphold all three of them
came to grief.
The American Navigation laws are
the product of dog-in-the-manger pol
icy which has been dictated by Eastern
shipbuilders, and has ruled in the ma
tional councils ever since the war. The
shipbuilders took advantage of the
transfer of the American merchant ma
rine to foreign flags during the war, and
have refused the enactment of laws
permitting the retransfer of the vessels.
Congress was deluded by the plea that
the ship-owners who had transferred
their vessels We're unpatriotic and ought
to be punished. The shipbuilders sup
posed that the operation of the laws
would be to cause demand for home
built vessels to supply the place of those
transferred. They were mistaken No
demand arose. The laws in short
time transferred our commerce as we'll
as our vessels to foreigners. For years
