So rs we can't send merchant ships,
we send ships of war to make en-
quirfes, and we have a really inter
esting account by Consul Mathews,
of Tangier, of Il cruise of the u. S.
steamship Quinnebaug, with him
on board, to the western or Atlantic
ports of Morocco. What they learn
there Is what they might have
known before they started, at the
nation which can get that trade is
the nation that can send them the
best and cheapest goods and take
what they have to sell ut the best
price. Our protective system dis
ables us in both respects it makes
the production of manufactured
goods expensive here by Increasing
the expense of living for the manu-
featuring laborer, and so neeeSsi-
tating higher wages for him, and
that prevents our selling as cheap as
less protected nations, and it pre-
vents our giving as good price for
African goods, because when our
merchants get home they have to
pay a heavy duty on them, and, Of
course, can't give as good price foI
them as men who have no such
duty to pay.
Ships of war are not what we
should send there, but American
merchant ships, carrying cheaI
goods on board and ready to take
goods of African production in pay
for them at as good prices as Other
nations give for them.
But that is just what our protect
i've system makes it impossible fol
US to do; so we make drummers 0
our naval officers and they drum vi
no orders.
These are not the differences which
the state department and its report
ing consals intended should b.
made from the present reports, blu
the man is blind who reads thu
reports and fails to make the infer
ences.

Lost Five pays.
Nashville American. ]

Mr.. Hazelwood, living near the
Hyde's Ferry turnpike, in the
Twenty-third district, tells the fol-
lowing story of the disappearance of
his son George, boy IL years old:
On Saturday, Dec. 4, while Mr..
Hazelwood and his son were engag-
ed in the field, dogs attacked one
of his hogs in an adjoining wood.
The boy was sent to call them off,
and, in order to do SO, was compel
led to go some distance in the woods,
and darkness coming on, he lost his
way. The father went to the woods
to hunt for him, but without find
inc him. The next morning quite
a number of the neighbors turned
out to assist in the search, but moth
ing could be heard of the boy, and
he was given up for lost. AS the
bluff on the river adjoining the
woods was from fifty to one hun
dred feet high, it was feared that he
had fallen off this and persisted.
On Thursday last--five days after
young Hazelwood's disappearance
a number of school boys, while COM
ing along the public road two miles
from Mr.. HazelwOod's house, saw
a boy coming out of the woods into
the road some distance in front of
them. Thinking that they recOg-
nized him, as young Hazelwood,
they called him, when he left the
road and ran into the WOO'ts. They
followed him and he stopped, and
in reply to questions, said he did
not know where he was, did not
know his old schOolmates, and new
er saw the road before. He was
taken to the school. house in that
district and voluntarily went home
by himself from there.
When he reached home he stated
that he heard the calls on the night
he was lost and answered them, but
could not find his father. The wealth
err was cold, and the boy kept warm
by covering his body with leaves.
He lived on hickory nuts, wild
grapes and persimmons. He slept
in the ravines between the hills;
the father thinks that the sounds
which the boy heard were the ech-
Oes of the formers calls. Thus de-
ceiving him instead of getting
nearer, got further away from him
all the time.

No millions for the nIoEwen Heirs.

franklin Corr, Nashville American.
Joseph B. Campbell, esq.,, return
ed on the first instant from Scotland
whether he was sent as an attorney
to investigate the statements of
"Prof." VIM. Stanford, of West
Tennessee, regarding the claim of
the McEWen heirs to supposed es
tate valued at several million pounds
sterling, near Edinburgh. With his
accustomed energy he pushed the
investigation and probed the mat
ter to the bottom, only to find that
the representations of "Prof." S.
were founded upon an exceedingly
slender basis of truth SO fine, in
deed, that matters could not be
made f., materialiZe. He caused a
thorough official search to be made,
and if any such will as the one that
has been alleged had ever existed it
would have been unearthed by the
expert employed by them for the
purpose, in the dusty archives of
centuries, carefully preserved at the
Registrars Office in Edinburgh.
This office has records of every viii
ever probated in all the counties of
Scotland. There was, sure enough,
a century and half ago, Mr.. Da-
vid Miller who once lived at Grief,
a town of 1000 inhabitants, sixty
miles from Edinburgh, and he was
probably in fair circumstances for
that day and region, but that he
left the immense estate, and partic-
ularly in the way supposed, was as
certained to be a myth To Mr..
Campbell's skill and research the
widely scattered heirs are indebted
for the settling of the "vexed ques-
ton" and putting their minds at
rest in the matter.

CONSULATE REPORTS.

We have before us a series of Off
cial documents which have been to
us very interesting reading, more so
| from facts which are incidentally.
and, as it were, accidentally brought
to light than from the intended inn
preston the reports were to produce.
AllOur consuls and consular agents
receive instructions from the depart
ment of state to make constant
enquiries and frequent reports as to
the possibility of promoting our
commercial relations with the coun-
tries in which they have their Off
cial residence, and the present col
lection emanating from the state
department is result of such enqui-
rieS.
1t is certain that these reports
were not written with the purpose
of discrediting what is called our
protective system of imposts on i'm
ported goods, but it is easy enough
to read between their lines abund-
ant proof that anything like extens-
i've commerce is impossible so long
as we keep up our prohihitory sys-
tenn against imports.
Our attention has been specially
directed to reports in reference to
the trade of western and north
western Africa. The first point no.
ticed by the reporting consuls is the
almost total absence of the Ameri-
can flag from seas on which it was
once everywhere visible. Why il
is absent is not far to seek. We
won't let our people buy foreign
built ships, and we tax all The ma
terials for building them so high

and impracticable counsel. Thus
Grant is intended to be designated
in the words s'commander-in-ch

Abraham Lincoln was the only
eommander-in-chief Of the United
States armies during the war, and
the United States army has never
had any commander-in-chief at any
time except the president of the
United States for the time being it
can have no other under the consti-
tuition. Rutherford Hayes is at this
time commander-in-chie of the
United States army, and w. L.
Sherman is acting commander under
him. There are absolutely no func-
tions for captain general to fill in
the army which are upprovided for
as things now stand. Moreover,
Gen. Grant has no claim upon the
nation such as is implied in this
recommendation. The office now
held by Gen. Sherman was created
for Gen. Grant and held by him till
he choose to vacate it that he might
become president, ond when he die

MY LAST, LATE ROSES.

Scarce but a month ago,
Before the early snow,
They brought to me a bunch ofroses rare.
They were so wondrous sweet
That I must needs repeat
And the story of their perfectness declare.
A crimson lowered queen,
Nestled lovingly between
Two great cream-colored buds of richest tint
And the glow of sunset skies
Burned in the open eyes
OF the satiny leaves that with the whole was
hlent.
Too beautiful to stay,
Ny roses fell away,
And their perfume has vanished from my
room,
But my memory shall prove
For them tender love
That the wear and toll of life cannot con-

FURrHER ON THE LAST MES
SAGE.

What Hayes may think on any
public topic matters less ut this time
than the opinions OF any prominent
public man; for Rutherford Hayes
is on the verge of retirement into
private life, and he retires I've write
it with regret) covered with the
contempt Of all parties now efficient
in the political transactions of the
day. Fhe democracy despises him
for the hypocrisy of his early pro-
fessiOns, the stalwarts despise him
as man whom they have kicked
and cuffed into sustaining their pro-
gram, and the liberal republicans
despise him for adopting their plat
form in word and multiplying it in
deed. We say that we make this
statement with regret, and we say
so with perfect sincerity, for it has
a demoralizing influence when a
nation despises the men it has ex-
alted to high position. But it is so,
and it was for this reason that we
last week reported his message
rather i'm a vein of pleasantly than
as a serious matter. But on reperu-
sal we find some matters which we
think may be briefly examined with
advantage, either because they illus
trate the history of the recent presi-
dency, or because they indicate the
points in which President Hayes
has surrendered to the less scrupu-
lous section Of his party, who now
seem likely to control the nations
policy.

SOME PARTY LASH.

TO those tender footed Democrats who
are ever grumbling at the party ticket
and who feel that they are asserting their
manhood when they don't vote for this
man and that man on it, we present the
following paragraph from theCincinnati
Commercial of October 23d, to illustrate
how the Republicans of Ohio consider
that kind of breach ofparty discipline:
We, the Republicans of Camp Dennl-
son, are justly indignant at Mr.. Edwin
Edwards for voting for Sam. Hunt in
stead of Hon. Benjamin Bntterworth.
At the beginning of the campaign they
conferred the honor of President of their
club upon him. We then expected, and
had right to expect that he would sup
port the full ticket. BIT he has disap-
pointed us, and we will not overlook or
excuse him for this act. Last night q
resolution was introduced, requesting
him to resign. This is the only course
left him. He has argued around the
bush long enough. As a man of honor,
he is in duty bound to tell the members
how he voted.
