We have before us the first number of
the Blacksmith and Wheelioright, new il
lustrated paper devoted to the interests of
blacksmiths, wheelwrights, carriage and
wagon makers, machinists, etc. In size and
general appearance it resembles somewhat
the Scientific american, being handsomely
printed on fine paper and filled with engrav-
ings illustrating the different subjects treat
ed. We notice articles on "Tempering Steel
Springs" "Heating Steel" Scientific Horse
Shoeing," "Letter from Robert Bonner"
"King Solomon and the Blacksmiths," )"
"Welding Compounds, ,""Ohio Horse shoers'
Convention" "Growth of Carriage build
ing" Seasoning Timber" and much other
valuable matter of practical character. A
prominent feature is a Veterinary Depart
ment, in which subscribers will receive ad.
vice concerning treatment of sick horses and
cattle free of charge. The terms of sub,
scription have been fixed at the low rate O.
Sl.O0 a year, and the publisher announces
that the paper will be sent on trial for threC
months for 25 cents in postage stamps. Ad

When the Emneror William

When the Emperor William received
the news of the attempt on the life of the
Gar he became, it is said, very serious, and
after remaining silent for some minutes, he
said, in tone at once melancholy and ener-
getic "If we do not change the direction
of our policy, If we do not think seriously
Of giving sound instruction to youth. il we
do not give the first place TO religion, if We
only pretend to govern by expedients from
day to day, our thrones will be overturned
and society will beeOme prey to the most
terrible events. We have no more time TO
lose, and it will be a great misfortune il all
the Governments do not come to an accord
in this saluiary work Of repression.

OFINTEHEsT TO SOLDIERS.

On the second day of the present session
of Congress, Gen. Harry White, Of Pennsyl-
vania, introduced bill TO regulate soldiers
bounty. A great many bills Of this kind
have been proposed heretofore, and from the
fact that they have not subsequently been
heard from, we must infer that the interest
of the movers subsided, or that the provis-
ions were impracticable. The bill here re-
ferred to is of a different description from
any that have preceded it and we commend
the following synopsis to whom 1t may
concern.
1t provides for the payment Of eight and
one-third dollars per month for all the time
for which non-commissioned officer, artifi-
GER, musician, WAGNER, private soldier or
sailor and marine, actually served between
April 18th, 1851 and May 9Th, 1865. That
in case of the death, before or after the pas
sage of this act, of such soldier, the allow
ance provided for shall be made TO the wild
ow if she has not remarked, and there be
no widow, or she has remarked, TO the
minor children of such soldier. That in
computing such bounty there shall be de-
Quoted therelrom all bounties paid under the
United States and State laws.
This bounty shall not be paid TO substitutes
nor to such as were discharged on their own
application prior to April 1865, except fol
disability, or promotion which has been ac-
cepted and served. No attorney or agent
shall receive for prosecuting any claim for a
bounty under this act, a fee greater than ten
dollars. No soldier shall transfer or sell his
discharge, so that the assignee shall receive
this bounty, and all sales Of discharges are
avoided
Provision is made for cases where dis
charges have been lost. All claims must be
made within five years from the passage o.
the act. The bill is carefully guarded in al
its provisions.
Gen. White, the author and introducer o
the bill was an old soldier himself, having
gone into the service in 1861. He takes {
deep and practical interest in all Legislation
that is designed to benefit the soldier, ant
no one, better than he, understands and ap
preciates what is due to the class whom thi
bill is designed to benefit. We understand
that it is his intention to urge its passage,ant
we need not remind the soldiers who enlist
ed at the earlier period of the war wthou
the pecunary inducements which were sub
sequently offered by the general and loca
governments that they can materially pro
mote Gen. Whites success by promptly for
warding to their members petitions urginl
the passage of this just measure.

Chief Of State Police this morning
learned from one OF the interpreters that
the men propose to take into their Gus
tody Contractor Driesbach, remove him
to their barracks and hold him as o hos
tsRe until their claims are satisfied. Vi
course any such attempt will be prompt
ly met by vigorous action on the part
OF the State force and special police
sworn in by the selectmen. The ltal.
isus promise good behavior. and there
is no reason to apprehend any lawless
acts directed against public or private
property unless hunger should render the
crowd desperate. The food on hand
will probably last two days. It 10 fur.

condition OF the enterprise, that unless
Fisher, the chief contractor, advances
$500, 900 before the 25th instant bis
contract is forfeited and the control OF
operations rsverts to the company, which
thereby saves $1,000, 900 margin. This
result is what President Goddard 10

Democracy and the Tariff.

NEW York, October 2l.-Rsferripg to
the recent efforts Of the Democratic
leaders to stem the popular tide against
them on account OF the tariff issue In the
pending campaign, the Commercial Buls-
tin says: The Democracy have tacitly
conceded the one-sided argument Of the
other side, and contsmptiGly turned
their backs on their principles BY pre-
tending that they have not made free
trade an issue in the election. Such
shamefuluess and recreancy to party
principles has never been exhibited in
the history Of our political contests. It
10 not merely that q Senator. deemed
worthy OF o nomination for tho Presi.
drncy. had spoken mincing words to
propitiats the protectionists, nor that
prominent party organs and party lead
ers have shirked the issue and skunk
away from their standard; but their can
didsts for tho Presidency has belied his
party platform and Its immsmoriai pol.
icy by declaring, In response to Q local
clamor, that hs virtually favors protec.
ton as much as the rival candidate. A
party whose spokesmen can thus adjust
its Fundamental principles IN the face Of
a contest that boldly challenges those
principles. has sunk to the last stage Of
decentralization and declared itself unft
10 be iutrustsd with the representation
OF any great issue In national politics.
