The Louisville Courier Journal Is still
vcxing its lamb-like soul over the possi-
bility of having a regiment of artillery with
brass band stationed at the arsenal in
this city, and threatens to have congress
still further reduce the army of the United
States if such an outrage shall be perpe-
trated. It is too bad 70 have the C-J
kept in such n fever It is cruel, and ii
General SHERMAN has any bowels of com
passion he will abandon q project so
ffeightcd with fear TO tho tender lamb who
threatened to have 100000 men on the spot
to seat TGLDEN in 1871. We notice a para
graph in the CT to this effect:
The republicans Of the north can mover at
tain their full growth until they learn to prac-
tice the virtue Of minding their own business
and leaving other folks to mind theirs.
We commend this advice TO its author
for the reason that perhaps, when it learns
the lesson It inculcatcs it may attain a
fuller growth than in any other way. Let
this monitor now learn to practice the
virtue of minding its own business and
drop this intermeddling with the army Of
the United States and this illumination OF
threats that congress shall further reduce
it if regiment of artillery with brass
band shall be stationed in the arsenal at
the national capital. 1t is not at all prob
able that the general Of tho army will pay
much attention to these threats of one who
is the most brave where there is no danger
The paper which, like a cowardly boy, calls

IL 1876 business interests were severely
depressed, capital and labor were TO a
great extent unemployed and the republic
can party was held responsible. In 1850
business is brisk, capital and labor are
actively employed, and as the republican
party was held responsible for adversely,
it should be credited with all it has
done to produce prosperity. We are conf
dent that the masses of the capitalists and
laborers Of the country will show by their
votes in November that they arc content 10

ELSEWHERE DR.. BLAND manager of the
Greenbacl Press association in this city,
asks us why the republicans have not sup.
pressed bulldozing. He reminds us that nm
unbrokeu possession of executive power by
one party for twenty years has not resulted
in protecting American citizens in their ox.
ercise of the franchise. We sorrowfullyad-
nit that the republican party has not done
hitherto its full duty in the matter. 1t is
to be remembered, however, that this sin of
omission came from willingness, or
rather an eagerness to believe in
the fair pretenses and promises Of south
ern democrats When the republicans had
full control ofhouse, senate and executive
they allowed magnanmity toward cx-rebels
to sway thom aside from the path of duty
to the white and colored unionists and re-
pubicans of the south. 1t is also true that
for six years the majority in The house OF
representatives has been in sympathy with
tho bulldo2crs and false counters, and that
during that time the system has been
brought 10 perfection to make the south
solid, When an indignant people
shall have spoken in November, we hope
that experience win have taught therepub-
licau majority lesson, and that they will
be just before they are generous. We also
expect TO find that our grecnback friends
have learned somethin E, and that they will

DIR. P. II. WANDER WEYDE has written for
the Soia.'.se .tnaeI7con paper on DIR. Tanners
fast in which he draws from the doctors sue
ccssiul method of rccuporaton the deduction
THAT the customary treatment of persons who
have been suffering from starvation to give
them but small quantities of milk and brandy
at long Intervals is all wrong. 1t is u fact
that many die under this treatment after they
have been rescued. This has been ascribed to
disorganization incident to the long abstinence
from food. 1t now appears more likely that it
is the erroneous treatment, that in such cases
there is no time to be lost, and the stomach
should at once be filled with pure milk, fruit,
meat and other kinds of wholesome food, when
Il will DO able to resume its functions at once
in place of being stimulated with brandy,
which, by the way, contains no nourishment
whatsoever, and is not even a tonic

FIGURES rRoM SOUTH CAROLINA.

According to the published census returns
South Carolina has increased her popula-
ton since 1870, POI, 215 being an increase
since 1870 of about AZ per cent
In the same time. to correspond with the
increase in population, there should have
been an increase in the value of her real
and personal property. Instead of this
being so, if we may trust the official reports
there has been a decrease in wealth almost
as remarkable as the reported increase in
population.
From the auditors report TO the legis-
liture, made in November, 1870 for the year
1863 we learn that there were returned for
taxation 15,915,322 acres of land valued at
SCI, 400 1907 upon which there were 12l SAG
buildings, valued at s14371, 55s; making
the total value of real estate in 1869, not in
incorporated cities and towns, to be S5l, Si0'
SOS.
The comptrollcr-Gcnera's report of 1850
covering the assessment of 1879, gives the
same items rs follows: Land, not in in
coporated cities and towns, 1G,625,l70
acres valued at $il,392, 415; upon which
there were 1885 buildings, valued al
S6,6O3,lsO making q total value Of real
estate except that in cities and towns Of
S5O,995, $50.
These figures show decrease in the value
Of land to the amount of 500, O7G, 502; de
crease in the number of buildings of 2,GlO
and decrease in their value of S7,76S, 37S
being a total sdecrease in the value Of al
real estate, not in towns and cities, Of $50,
s45,270.
The taxable value of real estate in citic
and towns has declined, according to th,
same reports, from $34, 44G,574 in 1869 t.
S25,5Ss 271 in 1879; decrease of 50, s55, Cos
uH.~ tots.I NV. oGaU III vuIue OF all the rca
estate in ten years is, therefore $40, 7O3s7a
1t will be seen from these figures thai
the 990S24 inhabitants of 1879 live il
2,Gl0 fewer houses than the 7O5,GO6 inhab-
itants Of 1863. The fact is also apparen
that the said houses are worth S7765 81
less than were the greater number returned
in 1860. It is thus evident that while yer,
great attention has been paid to the pro
duction of population there has been N
time to build houses or keep them IN repair
In the same time the taxable value o
al personal property in the state ia reduce,
from SG3l06, 100 in 1869 to $36,574, s5S i
1875 a loss in ten years of $26531 1862.
Some of the losses in personal propert

chants bankers, manufacturers and labor
ing classes do not want, the one thing they
most dread and have reason to protest
against, is change in the policy Of admins
tration at Washington. The bright and
encouraging outlook that to-day greots the
eye in every direction would soon grow
dark and forbidding again if the democrats
should win control of congress aud the ex-
ecutive, aud begin the endless tinkering
with the tariff and meddling with the
finances which the country has every rea-
son to expect at their hands. The bulk of
the democratic members in every congress
for the last ten years, including the present
one, have been radically unsound on all
financial and industrial questions and the
commercial and manufacturing interests of
the country have everything to lose and
nothing to gain by intrusting the mighty
responsibility of managing tho affairs of
the nation to the hands of men committed
to all sorts of crude and crochetty theories
and wholly without training and experience.

THE traffic returns of the Sue2 canal for the
seven months ending July l, 1880, we see it
stated, were S4,s900O0, as against 3,5O3, 200
during tho same period of 1870 and $3726,000
in 1873. Tho gross receipts for the present
year as cOnsorvatiyely estimated will be
50, 0G0GG0. Deductng from this the oxpendi-
lures, 50, 735, 6G5, including So per share inter
est, we have g, $50 935, from which 5 per cent.
must be deducted for the statutory reserve,
namely, 311 SAG, leaving profits available for
distribution to tho amount Of g, 2l4,350. The
statutes of the Suez Canal company provide
that all net earnings in excess Of the per
cent. interest on the shares shall be divided as
follows: Fifteen per cent. to the Egyptian
government 10 per cent to the Founders
shares, por cent, to form an invalid fund for
the employees of the company, II per cent. MS
dividend on 100000 shares and per cent. to
the managing directors. The distribution Of
the foregoing amount would therefore be To
the 400 900 shares 81 ,572 PIG; to the Founders,
$221 ,l39; to the Egyptian government,
5 332 1853; to the invalid fund, a44,2ss; TO tho
directors $44, 25s; total, S2,2l4,3S0. This Is q
result which the most sanguino could not have
anticipated some years since, and it affords
striking evidence Of the soundness Of financial
views, apart from considerations OF policy,
which dictated the purchase by the British
government of the large interest which it now
holds in the Suez canal To persons interest
