There is ono branch of industry which this conn
try is opposed to protecting in any way, and that
is the internal machine business.
1t was only last year that Mr.. Pocketbookwalter
ceased being Republican and became Democrat.
The reason for his change was that he is Free
Trader, and he voted for Hancock because he stood
on Free Trade platform. He is tr ying to conceal
this fact now by saying in the most beautiful and
lncomprehensble manner that he is in favor of that
kind of tariff system which will make every body,
employer rs well as laborer. rich and happy. Per-
haps he fool the voters of Ohio into the mistake
OF eecting him Governor, but the prospect seems TO
be against 1T now.
The Greenback party of the State Of New-York

There is likely TO be brisk and significant
struggle between the Bourbon and Liberal Gle
ments of the Mississippi Democracy for the con-
troll of the State Convention which meets at
jackson to-day. The Bourbon candidate for
Governor is Colonel Barlisdale, editor of the
Democratic organ at the State Capital, aud long
an active politician. He had strong support
in the last Senatorial contest, and was the lead
ing candidate on tho baloring until the com
bination was made which elected Judge George.
Against him the Liberal Democrats will prob
ably support Governor Stone, the present in
cumbent man of moderate views, who has
made n prudent and honest executive. 1t is re-
ported that Stone has the influential backing of
Senator Lamar, who is expected tn make n
speech in his favor to the Convention The
proceedings of the Convention will DC watched
with interest for indications Of now drifts in
the political currents of the extreme South. If
Bourbonism is losing its grip on the influential
classes in the Southern States as we so often
hear asserted, there should appear somo signs of
new order of things in representative gather
ings such as that which meets in Mississippi
to-day.

Tho appointment of Mr. John J. O'Bren rs Chief
of the Bureau of Elections is occasion for alarm
to The Uortd newspaper, which calls HIM scan

ton Of him. Says The Hortd: With u Republican

with n Republican superintendent OF Police who
details policemen to the polls with a Republican
Chief Of local elections like OBren, with a Republi-
can Chief Supervisor of Federal Elections like
Davenport and Republican Marshal who appoints
deputy marshals at elections, IL would seem that
tho Democrats have the greatest need of harmony
and compact organization" And the inference does
seem very natural 1t might have been added that
in addition to " harmony and compact organization
they need uncommon slyness and cunning TO get in
their work without being caught at it, Still as
election frauds in this city notoriously are and al
ways have been the work of Democrats, and the
functions of tho officers named are simply to prs-
vent and punish frauds of that character. the gen
cral public will Wow the situation with great com

President Garfield continues to gain steadily.
In fortnight more, if all goes well with him,
he will probably be able to sit up and give
some attention to the business which awaits
his action. He is still very weak, but when
the healing process in his wound is well begun
he will no doubt gain strength rapidly.

Hartmann, the Nihilist, will not enjoy read
ing the report of an interview with Assistant
Secretary Hit which we copy from The Phil
adelphja Press. Mr.. Hit says the plea that
the murder of the Gar was political act
would not avail here to prevent the extradi-
ton of anyone concerned in attempts on his
life. OF course, the proof of q criminal act
would have to be conclusive, but our Govern
ment would make no distinction between SOW
ercign and subject in the case of murder
committed attempted. This is clearly right.
1t would be manifestly unjust when we deliver
up the assassin of an obscure Russian citizen
to refuse to hand over to justice man who
has taken or sought the life of the ruler of
the Russian Empire. A life is life, no matter
to whom it belongs, and a murderer must
be treated such without regard to the rank
of his victim If Hartmann is really dan
gerous character, and has played the role he
pretends to have played in Russia, he had
better make himself a good deal less conspic-
uOus. Americans have no tenderness for
assassins.

The electric light is more used in the Bowery
than in any street in this city, and presumably
more than in any street in the country. From
the expressions of opinions gathered by q
TRIBUNE reporter among the merchants using
it there seems to be no question as to its pop
ularity as great Improvement upon gas. One
special advantage beside its great Illuminating
power and the clear, steady white light it affords,
is naturally much commented on this hot
weather-it does not generate heat. Every gas
jet is a little fire heating the surrounding air,
but the electric light produces no perceptbe
effect upon the temperature. The difference in
this respect between the two lights is perhaps
nowhere more noticed than in The TRIBUNE
composing-rOom, which in spite of its lofty
position at the top of the Tribune Building
and its high ceilings used to be an uncom-
fortably warm spot on sultIy nights before the
electric lights were put in. Now it is one of
the coolest places in the city.

A queer announcement comes from Madrid.
The Spanish Finance Minister says no will
henceforth publish the truth about the condi-
ton OF the Treasury. He begins by stating
that Cuba has an unliquidated debt of about
ninety millions of dollars of which the
Spanish public seems not to have been aware.
Cuba is the richest possession of the Spanish
crown, but her affairs have always been badly
If not dishonesty managed.

The terrible Fenian who has been telling a
Peoria reporter all about the Internal machines
destined to destroy the British Navy talks alto
gether too much for a desperate conspiratOr
such as he would like to have people think
him. He is probably harmless lOafer seeking
notoriety. 1t would be interesting to know,
however, if he really has letters from O'DOnO-
van Rosa Boosting that no English vessel will
be safe after September /. That bellicOse per-
son has been chiefly active in collecting money
from his fellOwlrishmen in this country for
the indefinite purposes of the " diminishing
fund" but he is of sufficient consequence to
attract the attention of the British Govern
ment. All sensible and really patriotic Irish
men should use their influence to stop the
mouths of the dynamite idiots who are
talking about blowing up British ships. They
will probably fire Off nothing more explosive
than their bombast bat they are doing the
cause of Irish reform deal OF mischief.

dition, was once reached in the competition
between two rival lines of steamboats, running
from this city to Albany. One line offered to
carry passengers for nothing. Whereupon the
other announced that it would not only collect
no fares, but would give each passenger
dollar. Perhaps we shall one day see the
ticket agents trying to hire people to take
free ride to Chicago The performance would
be only little more absurd than the present
cutting of fares.

Postmaster-General James has just brought
to light practice which is not at all to the
credit of the Canadian postal authorities. 1t
seems that United States mail bags sent to
Canada with letters are detained there and
used In large numbers for the local mail
service of the Dominion. Inspectors sent to
look into this matter estimate that many
thousands of our pouches, costing $5 apiece,
are in constant use in the Canadian service.
number were found which had been re-
paired in Canadian shops and furnished with
the Canadian official lock, showing that they
had been deliberately appropriated. This is
certainly a curious and extraordinary in
stance of pilfering. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve that the higher postal authorities in
Canada have had any knowledge of this dis
honest practice on the part of their subor-
dnates.

Morals of Congress Of 1850.

The Hon. George W. Julian q
member of the Thirty-First Congress
writes a sketch of it in the Interna
tional Review Of August. We make
an extract:
Political morality was at very low
ebb during the period covered by the
Thirty First congress. The Wings,
now that they were in power, saw
nothing amiss in tie spoils sys-
tenn inaugurated by general jackson,
which was in full blast. The presi.
dent had declared that he had
no friends to reward and no
enemies to punish" but under the
party pressure he totally lost sight of
these words, and seemed almost as
powerless to withstand it as did Gen
eral Grant in later years. Thousands
Of officials were turned adrift for no
other than party reasons, while poht-
ic:l nepotism was the order of the
day. Under the brief administration
of General Taylor unprecedented po-
itical jobbery prevailed, both in the
Legislative and executive departments
of the Government, and these evils
seemed 10 be aggravated by the ac-
cession of Fillmore. and 10 gather

Some idea of the benefits to San
Antonio and western Texas, derived
from the construction of the Interna-
tional r. r. west of this city is gained
from the statement that the checks
cashed on contractors accounts, TO
meet expenses of labor, provisions,
tools, etc, for the month of June last,
amounted to $4,000, while the adj
ditional amount paid out on account
of officers, engineer corps, operating
employees of the road, etc, will
amount to at least 100000 more, to
say nothing Of the right of-way ex-
penses. All Of this money is expend-
ed in San Antonio or west of here.
In addition to this is the outlay in
construction of the Sunset extension,
which must be nearly us great as
that of the International-San Anto-
MO Express =

"a Living Monument"

There are some noble men among
the old Texans. One of them is Col.
Grant, of Huntsville, a gentleman OF
wealth and position. We heard of
him before we left Indiana as friend
of education among white aud black,
and rs maintaining an industrial
school, under charge OF amember of
the Society Of Friends, from Ohio
The editor of the st. Louis Journal
of Education, who recently lectured
before the State Normal School, re-
lates this beautiful uad characteristic
anecdote:
1t was Col, Grant who, when il was
proposed TO erect n monument over
the honored grave Of Gen. Sam.
Houston. whose remains lie entombed
at Huntsville, said. "Yes, let us build
n monument. but LET II be a Hiring
monument Let us donate TO the
State our college and its grounds for
a Normal School, and let Us cal it

The suggestion Of Col Grant was
at once adopted. and nch men and
