er gains control of the Government
is we'll set forth in the appended ez-
tract from a speech by ex-senator
Logan:
"What did the South do before
the war, with a backing Of about one
third Of the population? They held
the Presidential chair sixty years out
of the eighty-four previous to 1861;
they had eighteen Judges Of Su-
preme Court to eleven for the North;
they had twenty-four Presidents pro
tenn Of the Senate, out Of thirty-siz ;
twenty. three Speakers out Of thirty
fve;fourteen Attorney Generals out
of nineteen, and eighty-siz Foreign
Ministers, as opposed to ffty-fOur.
The South held a majority Of the Of
fees of the army and navy. They
held the honors and the power, and
the North paid for it. "

Our Foot Wear.

Twenty-Five year ago, in New Eng
land, all shoes were made by hand, and
a man seldom sat at the bench all day,
but usually plies some other trade till
nightfal, and then went to his lasts.
To-day, thousands Of men and women
are employed daily in perfecting a piece
of the shoes by machinery, whilst they
are unable to do any thing on the shoe
by hand. Forty-fve million pairs Of
sewed shoes and fifty-fve million pairs
Of pegged shoes were made and sold by
the manufacturers of the United States
in 1876, and eighty-five per cent. of the
work done on these shoes was done by
machinery. The uppers are cut out by
hand simply because of the variableness
of the quality of the leather in the skin.
The soles are cut out by machinery, and
the binding, FASTING, closing, crimping.
stitching, heeling and polishing, are all
done by machinery, without the aid of
human hands. The strongest sewed
shoes are stitched with a wire screw
thread, each stitch being actually screw
ed in, and the screw cut off by an auto
matte machine the exact thickness of
the sole, whether it be thin, as in the
shank, or thick, as under the ball of the
foot, or still thicker, as through the
heel. Nine hundred pegs are driven in
a shoe in a minute. Four hundred and
fifty thousands bushels of pegs were
used last year. and all made by ma
%chinery. The pegs In four pair of mems
shoes cos one cent. The cost of shoes
is no less now than when made by
hand, because leather is dearer. In
1856 it cost 1925 to make Il pair of
ladies' CATERS of the finest quality.
Now, the same shoes can made for
S1.50. Then females did most of the
binding and stitching at fifty cts. per
day: now they get 81. 80 per day for at
tending machinery. Then men who
lasted and did the sewing got 50. per
day; now they get 50; so. The stock in
such shoes is now worth fifty per cent.
more than it was in 1855. Then, a
man hand, made six pairs of women's
shoes in a day; now, one man and u boy
and a woman, will, by machinery, make
twenty times us many.

Yesterday afternoon as Michael j. Kelly,
ex-Supervisor of the Twelfth Ward, was
riding in q buggy, near the corner OF Fay
lor and Leavenworth streets, he was ac-
costed by his brother-in-law, John a
sell, who was on horseback. A few angry
words passed, when Russell drew o revolt
yer and fired one shot without effect. Kelly
returned the fire, emptying three ham bers
Of his pistol. Russell rode of rapidly "
the corner of Turk and Hyde streets, where
he dismounted and entered a drug store.
An examination showed that one shot had
pierced his left lung. He was shortly al
ter arrested and taken to the City Prison
Hospital for medical treatment. The
wound is considered dangerous. Kelly
surrendered himself. The difficulty arose
from family troubles.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Aid for In Yellow Fever People.

San FRANcIsco, August 80.
Friday morning the sudden death Of
Adeline Guelingen, adopted daughter OF
Pauline and Arthur Guelingen, was re-
ported at the Coroner's Office. An autopsy
was soon after held upon the body and
OF death not ascertained. A jury
was impaneled and viewed the body, and
the stomach was removed and given to o
chemist for analysis, by which it appeared
that eeath resulted from strychnine. The
inquest is now in progress.
The work Of obtaining subscriptions to
the relief fund for the yellow fever suffer-
ers, organized at . meeting Of citizens yes
terday, was commenced in earnest this
morning, and before noon $4,000 we're de-
posted with +. F. Low, Of the Anglo-Cali-
fornia Bank. OF this amount, 81 200 was
subscribed by the Associated Banks, the
remainder being from other sources. With
out doubt, o large fund will be obtained in
. few days. The Yerba Buena Lodge of
Odd Fellows last night raised 500; Abou
Ben Adhem Lodge the same amount, and
tho Pacific Lodge $50. Templar Lodge
has already contributed $500, and other
lodges Of the city are expected TO take sim
liar action this evening. Altogether, about
S., 900 have been contributed in this city,
outside of the amount deposited with Mr..
Low this morning.
The meeting of citizens last evening ct
the Chamber Of Commerce to take steps
raising . relief movement on behalf Of
the plague-stricken people OF the South.
was very well attended. Mayor Bryant, in
calling the meeting to order, said the OBJ
ject of the assemblage was to do something
Immediately for the relief Of the yellow
fever sufferers. He thought San Francis
co should respond in q manner worthy Of
herself. He recognized the spirit ef liberal
ity in the relief Of distressed humanity.
