spoken of. When he was sent for by
the Board he went to the slaughter

his son, who informed him that the ami

Mr.. Gawthrop was creditably informed
that there were persons in this city who
searched the cattle trains for just such
animals as the one spoken of. A farmer
of Chester county had told him on Sun
day that it was notorious fact that the
butchers of this city came in his neigh
borhood and searched tor all the diseased
cattle they could find, as they purchased
them very cheap. He had been inform
ed that this was the outlet Tor dis ased
cattle, as the owners could not land them
in Philadelphia. fu.
Mr.. Bailey had also been told by a re-
spectacle butcher of this CITY, that there
were butchers here who made a business
of buying just such cattle.
Mr.. Munson-lt is a strange thing that
the clerk of the market did not know
thai the ordinance was passed, but still
he remembers distinctly that $500 was
taken off of his salary. He was informed
to-day that short time ago COW was
slaughtered there, and when cut open
the stencil was so bad tiiat three butch

offspring was lying there in decompos-
ed condition.

Starting In Life.

A good many of our young men, these
hard times, find it best to leave their
homes and home associations in ord r to
get start in business life. Among these
we may mention Mr.. Maxwell Ocheltree,
son of NJ. b. Ocheltree, Esq. of this city.
Young Mr.. Ocheltree is practical II e.
chauic, we'll educated, and very compe-
tent to conduct large business. He has
recently taken shop ana entered into
business at Chester, Pa, where he pur-
sues his trade, that of ctrriage building.
He has had st-ict moral training by reli-
gious parents and is gentleman of NOR
al habits, being attached to the First
Presbyterian Church in this city He
deserves encouragement and Will use his
utmost exer ions to give his custom rs
entire satisfaction. His carriages arr very
highly spoken of for excellence of finish
and substantial build, while h. figures
down price as low as possible to Sc
cure good work. Mr.. Ocheltree served
his time in the large factory of Cooling &
LLOYD, in this city. We hope soon to
hear of a revival of trade in carriage
build ng and that our young friend has
had to enlarge his factory. to accommo-
date the trade he is so worthy to receive.
Our neighbor, Mr.. John Sparks, has
also son in business in Chester, Mr..
Edward SPA, ks, who is conducting the
hardware store in the firm of Hudson q
Sparks. Their store is near the railroad
and may be seen from seat in the cars
as they pass. He has the best wishes OF
many friends here for his success in busi-
ness. We regret to part with our young
and enterprizing men, but 1t so often
happeus that strangers among our own
people appear to find out the avenues OF
success when those born among us fai

will find it profitable aid advantageous
to themselves to encourage these young

A Dangerous Leak

England imports more than she ex ports.
We of the United States export much
more than we import. England, accord
ing to prevalent notion, ought to be
getting poorer and and we richer. Yet
the fact is that though both countries are
affecred by a general depression of trade,
ia England since 1873 pauperism has
con ,tautly decreased; in this country it
has rapidly increased There are several
reasons for this curious and important
difference. Ons of them is that though
we export an enormous quantity of ag-
ricultural products we sell but trifiing
amount of our manufactures abroad. We
have no foreign commerce and cannot
get rid of our surplus products.
But there is an additional reason,
which is brought cut Incl ientally by an
English writer. Professor Fawc-tt, IN an
inquiry into the causes of the comm er-
cial depression which troubles all the
world. He remarks that though England
Imports much more than she exports she
does ali n own Carrying trade and al
most all that of the United States aud
many smaller countries, and thus earns
vast amount of money yearly, even upon
the produces We send her. He remarks
that III 1876 the United States exported
agricultural products to the value OF four
hundreG aud sixty-tve million dollars
but that Eng land, doing the most OF our
carrying trade, earned Jhe freight money
olralmost all this vast sum. Thus, he sa s,
for the quarter of wheat which is I'M
ported iuto Liverpool from New Yerk
and which is entered as forty six shil
ings, England has TO pay the United
States only forty shilling.; the rsmainiDg
six shillings is rec lived by the English
shipowner and importer. Here is certain.
ly an important leak, which We ought to
be able TO stop, and which We can stop
as soou as Congress allows Americans 10
buy ships where they can buy them most
cheaply. Before 1860 between seventy
five and eighty per cent of our commerce
was carried in American ships; in 1876
less than thirty per cent was 80 carried
the great remainder was borne in for.
eign bottoms. aud the freight was earned
by foreigners. We lose probably not less
than fifty millions year by our folly
EnglIshmen are allowed by their laws to
buy ships wherever they wisL. Why
should not Americans enjoy the samt
rights? Why should we continue to lose
the great sum which England earDs by
doing our carrying trade? Let Congres,
give Us free ships and stop an exhaust
ing drain en- our resources.

The Reason why.
FROM the Delawarean,

ROM blO btldWatN"hs
The Republicans in this State assign
as AN ex, use for giving up the contest
thi- fall, that he negro voters of their
party h I'VE been retu ned largely as
uelinquents, and cannot vote. Whose
faul Is this Q Not certainly the fault OF
the Democratic as essors AMI collectors,
for the law prescribes clearly their
duty in the assessment and collec ION
of taxes, applying alike to white and
colored persons. We have heard of no
instance in which there has been any
omiss on on the part of these officers to
do their duty under the law. Nor is 1t
the fault of the law, for that secures
to every man-wh,te and black-the OPP
portunity of qualifying, by the payment
of a tax, as an elector. The constitution
made nearly half a century ago, requires
the payment of tax as qualification
for voting and the law, regulating the
manner Of assessing and collecting the
tax, make no discrimination between
white aud colored men, but secures TO
all an oppor unity 10 be assetsed, and TO
nav the tax assessed against them. III
the Republicans will not pay their taxes,
and white Republicans will not assist
them to do so, is no fault of Democrats,
and our Republican friends ought not TO
com lain. The fact IS, when the he-
publican parry of this State TOOK the
negroes as political allies it drove away
a large number of white men from its
rauks, and encountered itself wi a
troublesome and expensive element
Tne negroes will not pay their own tex
rs, r. ~ and v ~hite Repubhcans, with little
hone of securing success thereby, nave
tired of paying taxes for them. This Is
the true solution of the matter, and
every Republican knows it. Pay up,
gentleman, and vote your negroes. Don''
throw up the sponge.

Fire Yesterday Afternoon.

There were no less than four alarms of
fire yesterday, all of which with one ex-
ception proved 10 b. false.
That exception consisted of slight fire
at the residence of James Redmond,
No. 10S King street, which was caused by
one of the boarders who was sitting at
the back window of the Third story, en-
gagged in smoking a pipe, and after he
had finished he threw the fire and ashes
out of the window, ana the fire alighting
on some clothes that were hanging on the
flat, igniteh them.
The fire had been burning some time
before discovered, and then was put out
by Mrs. Redmond who had the presence
Of mind rush to out upon the fl 1T and ex'
tinguish the flames. Before she done so,
howe, er, the flames had destroyed 6
sheets, dozen napkins and half dozen
pillow slips. The window 81 Il aud blinds
had also become Ignited.
