him to the adoption of means the most des-
picable to attain the summit Of his ambi-
ton. Lincoln gathered about him as his
confidential advisers and appointed to offices
Of trust men whom the country had reason
to believe were honest, patriotic and capa-
BILE. His successor has surrounded himself
with men whose only recommendation is
that they are skilled and have been success
full as political tricksters, and has appointed
as our representatives abroad the creatures
who, as his agents, performed the dirty
work and were parties to the infamous crime
of placing him in the highest Office in the
land.
Does it not look, in view of this state of
facts, that the heroes who lie buried at Get
tysburg, and on every Southern battle field,
have indeed died in vain, and that govern
ment of the people by the people and for the
people has persisted from the earth? If there
still remains a chance for the full redemption
of the country and a restoration of the peo-
pie to their lost estate, the emergency de-
mands the utmost vigilance, the most search
ing inquiry into and thorough exposure Of
the means and men who threaten our iber-
ties: and the condign punishment of the
! miscreants for their misdeeds.

ENGLISH GRAIN MARKET.

Growing Crop Prospects Decidedly Unfa-
vorable, But notwithstanding, the Enor-
nous Shipments From America Send
1ings.
LONDON, June 4.-The Mark Lane ErDyess
says by the most hopeful observers it can
scarcely be said that the state Of the wheat
and barley on low lying land is other than ex-
tremely critical. Crops are weak, discolored
and rotten in some places from the prolonged
immersion, and even on light lands the harvest
prospects are two or three sacks per acre worse
than month ago. If the rain speedily ceases,
and long spell of dry weather succeeds, some,
but not all of the damage may be repaired.
Such an unfavorable change in the prospects of
the English wheat crop would once have had a
marked effect upon prices. but SO independent
has this country become of Indigenous grain
that the reverse has actually been the case, and
values have receded I to 2 shillings all ovci
the kingdom, both for English and foreign
produce. The Immediate causes Of this depres-
sion are the enormous shipments from Amer
ica with the splendid prospects Of an abund
ant crop this year and a feeling that onr differ.
The result is general stagnation of trade, which
has moved within narrow limits throughout
the week. Wheat and maize are only saable
at shilling reduction, and even then only in
retail quantities. Quotations are now at g
peace level. 1t is not impossible that the re-
vival of continental demand may occur tc
rally prices somewhat against the depressing
effect of heavy prospective supplies from
America and Russia. Sales Of English wheat
last week were 1855 quarters at 81 shillings
I'd, against 29,573 quarters at 66 shillings Cd
last year. Imports into the kingdom for the
week ending May 25th, 9:504 cwts Of wheat
and 9,908 cwts. of -four.

NEW OFFICI4LS.

The Council yesterday did what ihe peo-
pie expected and desired in electing VIM.
Dawson Mayor. Mr.. Dawson has had many
years experience in the city government, is
thoroughly familiar with the city business,
and thoroughly honest in all his transac-
tions. BY virtue of his position as Presi-
dent of the Council, he has for some time
discharged the duties of the Office which he
is now formally chosen to fill. That he will
continue to discharge the duties faithfully,
and that he will prove an excellent Mayor,
is settled beyond peradventure.
Aid. Rhodes promotion to the presidency
of the Council was an appropriate act and a
compliment to one of the most watchful and
careful members of the city government.
The vacancy in the Council owing to cleo,
ton of Mr.. Dawson to the Mayoralty was
most excellently filled by the election Of
Norman w. Kittson. MIR. Kittson is among
our Oldest settlers, large property owner.
and just the kind of man to be entrusted
with public affairs. The Council could not
have made better selection.

TITO MEN.

Almost the last public utterance of the
martyred President of the United States,
spoken over the graves of the thousands of
brave soldiers who laid down their lives on
the field of Gettysburg in defense of free
! government, was an invocation to all within
the sound of his voice to join with him in
! the pledge that ':a government of the people.

pie shall not perish from the earth.'' II

that solemn occasion and ponder these words
full of meaning, as if Mr.. Lincoln foresaw
that Republicanism was soon to be AGAIN
put OH trial, and that the thought filed This
great, patriotic soul with unutterable sad
ness. His big. manly heart was wrung with
agony at sight of the graves of SO many
brave men, his mind filled with apprehen-
sion lest they should have died in vain.
How soon has Mr.. Lincoln's prophecy,
suggested rather than expressed, come to
pass! Twelve years after his tragic death we

Republican on principle. He believed with
his whole heart in the right of the people to
govern themselves, and he scorned any at

CHARLES NonDHoFF, one of the fairest as
as well as one of the ablest of the Washing
ton correspondents, no doubt reflects the
opinions of large number of the best peo-
pie at the capital when he writes regarding
Anderson's testimony:
1.-THE documents brought out to-day, especi-
ally the agreement between Nash, the coiored
candidate for Congress, and Anderson taken
in connection with Anderson's testimony, have
certainly produced strong impression
not only on Democrats, but also on
many Republicans, that the Democrats
rightly carried East Feliciana and some other
parishes enough to have entitled them to the
electoral vote of the State. On this point An
derson has produced deep impression and 30
far the investigation has undoubtedly to-day
been marked success for the Democratic side.
and the Republicans will have difficulty in
overcoming that impression"
9 This testimony, from one who has always
heretofore been supporter of Mr.. Hayes
Pretensions, is worthy Of consideration.

THOSE who still pretend to believe that
Freebooter Sherman still retains spark of
decency, say he might have given an en-
phatic denial of the authenticity OF, his letter
to Weber and Anderson, but he chose to be
indefinite SO as to encourage his alversaries
to show all the evidence they had. In other
words, he is trying to play the fox. The
pretense is too attenuated, and won't go down
with the thinking public. The truth of the
matter is that Sherman knew he wrote the
letter, and did not dare to deny it through
fear of adding to his crimes that of perjury.

Df. DCnDeT Gets Back on DR.. Witttdnts.
To the Editor of the Globe:
DEAR SIR: see by your issue of Saturday
that "T. D. Williams, NJ. d. is still alive,
and is full of the desire as ever to mislead
the public in regard to cinchona rubra tine
ture as curative agent in drunkenness.
He sends you reply of mine to letter
sent me from Chicago, and signed 81. P.
Stranger who is evidently the redoubtable
ct. D. Williams, M. Dr. himself, and who
thus desired to get out Of me, by trick or
fraud, my full method of treating dipsoma-
mia or drunkenness, which method is creating
such stir in Chicago by its success; but he
neglected to send you copy of the letter
written me in which he says he wants
the medicine to send to his mother
in England, to be used by her on his drunken
father, &c. Having pity upon him, put a
pint of the remedy at cost-$7.4O per
pound. Quinine is S72 per pound-also
made from pure bark-and added the very
moderate fee of $5-little enough, you must
admit, for treating so distinguished q
drunkard.
In replying to the hundreds Of letters I
am receiving, do not imagine their writer's
to be knaves hence it was that in answer
ing the one IN assuredly the effort
OF rascal wrote as would have done
TO any honest young man trying to save his
father from drunkard's grave.
The chagrin and disappointment met with
on the part of ct. D. Williams, III. d. is
very plain to me and will be also to the
public, when informed that, in quoting from
the United States Dispensatory, page 1928,
"Infusion of Cinchona," he leaves out the
very important statement that the infusion
is only useful in cases where the full power
of the bark (cinchcnD is not required
Drunkenness not only requires the full
power OF the bark, but q good deal of that
power.
I really should not notice this trickster,
"T. D. Williams, N. d." whom nobody
who evidently has had the col
umns of the Times of that city closed
against him, on account of his ignorance of
the subject matter upon which he appears
anxious to spread himself, but your paper
being sheet of responsibility and weight.
some reference to his eEusion eeems called
for.
In conclusion. allow me to say this that
the tincture of cinchona rubra cortex is now
being used by very many physicians through
out the country, and very successfully and
also this: that the man who will, for trick
or fraud, sign a fictitious or any other party's
name to business or professional letter,
would not hesitate long to afix another's
autograph to bank check. Yours truly,

WASHINGTON, May s1.-The committee on
expenditures in the treasury department., in
their investigating of the affairs of the bureau
of engraving and printing, having looked
into the expenditures from 1870 to 1876 on
the secret process whereby the paper where
on greenbacks were printed was sized and
said to be made waterproof Mr.. Glover
furnishes the following statement of the ex-
penditures by the bureau for this purpose
taken from the books of that concern:

IT is thought that the exposure of Stanley
Matthews has cost him the seat on the
supreme bench shortly to be made vacant by
the retirement of Judge Swayne. His sin is
not so much that he entered into the scheme
of bribery to defraud the people of Louis
lana out of their electoral votes, as that he
was caught at it. The administration is
somewhat like the Chinese: who regard it as
no sin to steal, but tho crime of being caught
at it is punishable with death.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-06-05

Of this about $25O,OOO was received by
John III. Williams, family connection and
former partner of the then chief of the
bureau, George B. McCartee. The sizing
was made of animal glue, salt, CASTLE soap
alum, white wax, paraffine and water, costing
about five cents gallon, and is charged on
the books of the bureau at seventy-two to
ninety five cents a gallon. The material was
furnished by Williams and cost $4,000 OF
less, SO that the profit which his former
partner allowed him secretly to obtain was
about $235,000, or over fifteen hundred per
cent. While this was going on it was stout
~ maintained that the bureau was in DOS
session of a valuable secret, which was pro-
tected by patent, and which no one must
be allowed to know or test, as this would en-
able others to compete with the bureau,
The custom of allowing visitors to view the
operations of the concern was even discon-
tlnued, till at last the banking and currency
committee advised that the value of the pro
cess be tested by a commission of semitic
experts. This commission, after an extern
slve examination, reported that the process
was practically worthless. Beside the $780,
600 paid to Williams for his interest, and for
process which he admitted afterward was
not protected by patent, the bureau spent
$2Oo,OOO for labor in applying the process
for which there was no need. The committee
on appropriations. while Garfield was chair
man, do not seem to have inquired into the
nature of this expenditure, and reported APP
preparations covering the fraud to the ex-
tent of nearly 100000. Mr.. Glover says
the bureau has for years spent over mil
lion of dollars annually without properly ac-
counting for the money and without pro-
per responsibility, and that not a dollar
should hereafter be appropriated to it unless
the price of all service therein is fixed by
law and unless the estimates are presented
in full detail. He denounces the whole
transaction with Williams as an outrageous
swindle, and says it is amazing that it should
have continued SO long.
