The PrOtectionists and the Tariff.

The battle of general American in
dustry against favored interests" the
New York Times (Rep.) says, must, in
the long run, be fought out before the
people, in the press, on the platform,
and in Congress. 1t cannot be left to
commission, no matter how adroiuy
composed. The extreme protectionists
feel this, and acutely. To them the com
mission is simply a device for delay.
They hope by its appointment to obtain
the means of serving their own ends.
Thus their convention, to be held on the
30th of November, has its programme
on this question already marked out
for II. 1t IS to consider the appoint
ment of a competent commission
to recommend such tariff legislation as
will be protective in character, consist
ent in all It's parts, and adapted 10 the
present condition of the business of
the country There is no admis-
sion, it will be noticed, that the commits
sion by any possibility can come to the
conclusion that tariff legislation, protec-
tive in its character, is not adapted to
the present condition of the business of
the country in other words, that there
are interests now protected which
ought not to be, and whose protection is
oppressive to other and large interests.
The interests which enjoy gov
eminent favor at the expense of the con-
sumner and of other industries will
gradually be forced to explicit definition
of their claims. They will not be
allowed to rest forever on the formula,
The saints shall inherit the earth, and
we are the saints They will be re-
quired to face rival claims and to com
pare their usefulness. their extent, the
employment they make of the privileges
granted to them, with the tax imposed
on the public for their benefit.

The success Of ex-senator Conkling
in carrying the primary elections at
Utica. against all the influences that the
administration Republicans could bring
to bear against him, is proof positive
that so far from having withdrawn from
politics. he is still in the field and pow
er that is bent upon making itself felt in
the State Convention. He is a very
healthy ghost and viii not down. He
has secured the backing of his own city
vnd under circumstances that make the
event a signal and significant triumph.
His restless spirit maintains the same
imperturbable defiance that has always
characterized it, and there is little doubt
tbat he has entered the lists with the de-
termination to win Of the State at large
that vindication which was denied him

The people of the West still cling to
their sorghum idol, and find sweetness in
the thought that its juice will probably
granulate under certain favorable cir
cumstances. A St. Louis exchange,
among other facts regarding sorghum,
publishes the following:
Professors Scoville and Weber made
report, embodying experiments in obtain
ing sugar from the juice of amber cane.
They obtained an average of 600 pounds
of merchantable yellow sugar to one
acre of cane, besides 600 pounds of syrup,
all of which experiments were highly
satisfactory. The above professors ex.
pressed themselves that sugar could be
proftably made from the sorghum cane.
Making it, they think, will ultimately
become great industry"

The New Orleans Times says: Con
siderable cotton that used to come here
from East Tennessee, North Mississippi
and other portions of the cotton region,
now goes TO Savannah and Charleston.
The reason of this is, it is SAID, that the
rates Of freight from those ports to I.iv-
erpool is one-sixteenth lower than from
this port. While there is not much diff
ference in the distance the port charges
at the ports named are considerably less
than those of this port, which enables
vessels to carry freight at areduced rate.
There does not seem to be any discrimi-
nation on the part of railroads, carrying
cotton from the localities mentioned,
against this city"

A few days later the New York
World published as complete refuta-
ton of all the charges and innuendoes
against General Hancock, both those in
the Fowler interview and those of the
Inter Ocean interview, the full text of
the official correspondence which led to
General Hancock's retirement from the
command at New Orleans. The facts
shown by the correspondence were that
General Sheridan had ordered, under
date March %, 1867, that no elections
should be held for State, parish, munich
pal or other officers, until the provisions
of the reconstruction acts should have
been complied with. On the 28th Of
January, 1868. General Hancock learned
that the Board of Aldermen were about
to elect q Recorder of the Second
district of New Orleans, an officer
falling within Sheridan's prohibition.
In an official communication he called
the attention of the Mayor to 6heridsn's
prohibition, and the Mayor sent the
communion to the Aldermen, who
nevertheless voted by a majority of
one to go on with the election
of Recorder; but before taking the
vote two members retired from the room
and left the body without quorum.
General Hancock thereupon removed the
majority from Office ''for contempt of
the orders of the district commander, !"
and appointed others to take their places.
General Grant directed him to suspend
the order of removal, and he replied in
two kilograms which General Grant says
cost about $3.50. Eventually General
Grant directed him to reinstate the re-
moved Aldermen, which he did, and on

They are made to operate, not by
working the arms, as is supposed,
but by ingenius machinery to
which a pedal is attached, and
which is worked by the foot like

used when desired to ascend. AS
soon as the proper altitude is
reached she flapping of the wings
