for the boatmen at the foot of West
Twenty-third street who have the
lions share Of the work OF carrying
between the shore aud the
steamer Dessoug. Two hundred WIS.,
itors were ferried over to the
steamer during the day and a party
of twelve we're taken on board by the
Harbor-Master in his yacht Annie L. |
The boatmen, Of course, are rejoic-
ing over this unexpected windfall and,
in q majority of cases, improve it by
stipulating that the passenger shall
not remain on board the steamer
more than fifteen minutes without
paying double fare. Trusting that
the steamer may remain at her an
chorage until Monday, the boatmen
are counting on Sunday as likely to
be busy day, and one of them said
he had engaged some ten or twelve
boats and made preparations to carry
1000 people between the hours of .
a. M. and 80 p. m. On board the
steamer the crowds of visitors and
boatmen tried the patience of MIR,
Alfred Partridge, the energetic young
officer in charge. Constant demands
were made on him for ''some one to
show us the obelisk." Ali SuIiman,
the body servant of Commander Cor
ringe, watched the crowds with amaze
ment, and said to a reporter: '"Meri-
can people pleased with obelit. i'eo-
pie in my country no care for it un-
til commandants como to take it :;
then raise hub-bub, but all no use."
The living curiosities, with the ex-
ception Of Ahmed Hassan, the Arab
boy, have left the steamer. The
white donkey, which Hassan used TO
ride up and down the deck to the
amusement and cost of the visitors,
was taken on shore at high tide in 9
steam-tug and sent to Mr.. Within,
friend of Commander Gorringe, al
Staten Island. While the donkey
was being removed Hassan made
such an Outcry that he was sent be-
low, and he remained there for sever.
al hours looking sullenly at the floor.
Later in the day, however, he was as
frisky and lively as usual and made
much sport for the visitors. During
the afternoon the two horned sheer
which Commander Gorringe present

fire is a mystery as there was no way
of its taking FIRE except by careless

craft. and one of the shrewdest politici-
ans in the State-Col Elias Calkin-,
is thoroughly disguised to hear the
ConfederateS clamoring for Hancock,
and in a Ion" and strong article, pre-
diets that Hancock will be greatly
damaged by such support. The Tele-
graph says:
1t has been an impression among
mankind for fifteen years that the ''con-
iederates We're most damnably whip-
ped in the war -hich they made OH
the government. For fifteen years,
the public opinion Of the world has
been that no confederate was help
or an ornament to any good cause
that the less he said about the past.
and the more completely he sundered
the links which bound him to it, the
better citizen and the better patriots he
become; that by participating in
great crime they had committed
shameful act which had not been con-
doned but had simply been covered bv
an act Of oblivion, which it was an ina
measurable mercy in the Government to
extend in that direction, and that the
only atonement and reparation which
he could make was to encourage US to
| forget In fact, as we had done in legal
effect, the tragical events which he had
precipItated on the bleeding land
But now the ''confederatc" comes and
wants 10 go IN as ''confederate" in
the political parades and duties of the
! country. lie wants to faunt his uni
form, his flag, aud his treason anew in
our faces. His colossal folly and stu
pidity prompt him to imagine that he
can aid , party, candidate and poiiti-
cal cause by tearing aside the veil Of
fifteen years Of 1troubled peace. and
revealing, all the horrors OF the civil
war, as it ragged from Bull Run to Up

inspiration from the scene to confae
the destinies of the country to a party

A GENERAL QUIETlN THE NEWS MART.

As evidenced by the telegraphic re-
port, dullness relgned supreme in the
news market yesterday. All business
was shut down; even the casualty and
criminal occupations were abandoned,
and everybody took a good loaf, includ-
ing the telegraphic operators.
Apropos to the season OF Thanksgiving
and things politically, tine REGISTER is
happy to remark that the country
breathes freer after the Presidential
campaign. The States are at peace.
After the months of tension, repose is
grateful. 1t is comfort to know that
tn business is settled. We are to have
no Electoral Commissions, no visiting
statesmen, no returning boards, none OF
the unseemly controversy which brought
Hayes into office and threw a stain upon
what otherwise would have been fair
administration. The Republicans are
satisfied because they have the Presi-
dency, the House and possibility OF
the Senate. The Democrats are satisfied
because they made close and brilliant
fight, showing that the time-honored
party has vitality enough for dozen
campaigns. General Garfield has the
supreme privilege OF selecting one pace
and throwing away two Others.
He is perhaps the first Ameri-
can who can say that he resigned from
the House and declined the Senate 10
accept the Presidency. General Han
cock should feel happy to know that he
has passed throush the severest ordeal
that can await an American citizen with
a loitier and more enduring fame, and
especially happy that he remains in the
army. lie will have no reason to COM
plain OF his treatment by the new ad'
ministration, and we trust there are
many opportunities OF usefulness before
he closes what thus far has been an
honorable career

MlLwAUKEE, November 25.-There
are prospects OF a terrible fuel famine III
the Northwest along the lines OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and 1t. Paul and
Chicago and Northwestern Railroads, on
account of the cold weather setting in
six weeks earlier than usual this year,
and the continued freight blockade.
All OF the railroad companies are suffer
ing, notably the St Paul: but the great
est pant OF tho suffering is experienced
by the people living on the prairles
along the railroads, being almost
deprived, as they are, Of the means
o: keeping warm. SO great Is the
suffering along the st. Paul road that at
Britt, Hancock county, Iowa, last Sun
day, fifty farmers armed with revolrers
made 4 raid on the coal-shed at that
point and took possession OF the coal.
On Monday several other coai-sheds
were similarly v taken possession OF at
several points along the road. The peo-
pie are reported tearing down fences,
out-buildings, and even stealing the
railroad ties for fuel. Owing TO the
freight blockade and the scarcity OF cars
the hundred thousand tons oi coal de-
livered at this point cannot be delivered
to the suffering people. A terrible state
OF affairs exists.
The st. Paul papers give an account
OF the sudden death Of Miss Annie Shea,
well known young lady OF this city,
who went to Minneapolis a few weeks
ago to meet and marry a lover. Her
lover was Gale to New York, and dur
ing his absence, while Miss Shea was
out .or walk one day, she imagined
she saw the ghost OF her aiii snced. The
strange hallucination so worried the
love- worn girl that she lost her mind,
and on Tuesday swallowed dose OF
poison and died in convulsions soon
after.

repeal of the law imposinga tax on cap.
ital and deposits, and the two cent
stamp upon checks.
The amount collected by the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue during
the whole fiscal year, with the excep-
ton OF Sll ,096, i64, is shown to have
been derived from tax on spirits, beer
and tobacco. The Comptroller says
in this connection: "Were the entire
tax on banks and bankers OF the coun-
try, including the two cent check tax
upon matches and upon patent medi-
cines removed, the amount of revenue
received by the Government from the
tax on spirits, beer and tobacco, would
be alone sufficient to meet its expenses
and reduce the public debt at the rate
OF a hundred millions annually" The
principal reason heretofore urged against
the repeal OF these taxes, has been that
the amount produced was necessary for
the support OF the Government, and
this reason, it is stated, has ceased to
exist. The amount of taxes paid by the
national banks to the United States for
the year ending July lst, 1880, was as
follows: On capital, s319, ,424; on circu-
lalion, S3,l53635, and on deposits,
S,05s,1l0. The amount paid by the
banks, other than national, ID the Com.
missioner OF Internal Revenue for the
fiscal year is shown to have been, on
capital SSll ,i36, on circulation $751;
and on deposits - ,ol0,175.
