Call Wallace Calhoun.

AS we stated some time since,
Wallace Calhoun, who killed negro
in Mexico April 2, 1882, although
discharged by the grand jury of the
June term without a true bill being
found, was to be re-arrested. Last
Saturday, Sheriff Woodward REAR
rested Calhoun, who lives near Lad
donia. He gave bail to the amount
Of 81 100000, and is now at home on
his farm. His preliminary examina-
ton is set for tomorrow. He will
without doubt waive examination, and
await the action of another grand jury.
States Attorney Trimble had CAL
houn re-arrested because he thought
that justice had not been meted out
as the law anticipated. We await
developments before saving more.

How do You Like il.

To thr Editor of the LEDGER:
Under and through the present
tariff the Bessemer Steel Association
with capital of twenty million doll
ars made profit in 1880 of fourteen
million dollars if this just and fair
the government should guarantee the
profits of every farm, or pay bounty
to make the percentage profits of
farming at least equal to that of this
assoslciation. Each farm costing
$1,000 should be guaranteed to pay
clear of expenses, $500.
One costing 1000, should clear
So 800.
One costing $4,000, should clear
ST. 100.
One costing $4,000, should clear
81, 200.
Or, if considered only in numbers,
the government should select a favor
ed few, the friends or relatives of
congressman, as itdoes select favored
manufacturers, and should, by law,
enable 2S, 900 farmers to make with
out work $500 each.
100000 farmers to make without
work 500 each.
10000 cattle raisers to get without
work 81 400 each, Or to pay 5000
dairies more than their products will
sell for, 81, 800 each.
How false it is to say farmers are
grumblers when they endure, without
a murmur, all the burdens that manu-
facturers. care to heap upon them,
they endure without even dissatisfac-
ton. War taxes twenty years after
the war has closed, and now when the
tariff is doubled on knit goods and
some iron products they never vince:

TARIFF.
TIE FIRST OF SERIES OF ARTICLES On
THE TARIFF BY A ''STUDENT'
OF THE SUBJECT.

If there is one question of all the
questions of q political character that
is off nterestto the producing classes Of
of the United States, it is this question
of the protective tariff. There is no
one question that so materially affects
the pockets and the interests in every
way of material character as the re-
suits of the protective legislation i'll
dnlged in by congress. And after a
thorough investigation of the subject,
if such laws are found to be beneficial
to the majority of the people of the
United States as is claimed by the
protective tariff advocates, then such
laws should be continued and increas-
ed. but on the other hand, if after
such investigation they be found to
initiate against the interests of ma
jority of the people affected by such
laws. then they should be abolished
and forever swept from the statute
book. When we use the term pro-
ducing classes we mean the farmer,
or any persons engaged in the cultiva-
ton of the soil, whether he raises
grain, cotton, meat, or tobacco, &C.,
and by the protective tariff, is meant
the duty paid the government of the
United States by the manufacturer of
foreign goods for the privilege of i'm
porting the same into this country and
putting them on the market here. and
in contradistinction to the term pro-
tectiye tariff, we will use the tern
free trade, which is understood to be
a removal of all restriction on the ex
change of commodities and services
except such as governments aftel
careful inquiry may deem expedien
to institute for the sake of revenu,
only, Or for sanitary or moral consid
erations. There are two stand point
from which this subject may be dis
cussed. one from theoretical or alb
stract principle. the other from spe
cific or practical application, and il

THE AWAKENING.

THE AWAKENING.
The leaders of the Republican party
everywhere, and especially at Wash
ington, seem to be awakening at last
to the heavy responsibility that at
taches to unnecessary increase Of
popular burdens. But for the coming
elections, they might have gone on
s9uandering the revenue and prevent
ing, by continued lavish appropriation,
the reduction of Indebtedness and
diminution of taxation. Just what
will be the outcome of all this flutter
remains to be seen. The difficulty
seems to be how to harmonic eastern
demand for protection, with western
persistence for relief from the heavy
burdens of the past. Boss rule also
is tottering to its base. In New
York. the revolt is against COnkling,
who advocates reform; in Pennsyl-
vania. it is against Cameron, who
demands higher duties and warns his
party of the consequence of neglect
ing to impose them; in Illinois, it is
against Logan; in Maine, the admin
istration heads war on Blaine. Such
conflicts can neither be settled or
deferred. Betrayals here and there
amount to nothing. The great mass
of our populations will be true to
their convictions. Leaders may sell
themselves; but they will pssfs Be- able
to deliver the votes Contracted for,
and the loss of single Republican
state, at the present crsis will nut
an end 70 the rule Of hartv that has
so long been sustained hv corrrption
and force.
The wonder is, that thc Pcpublican
leaders :, ) ~ - t.ssooncr aroused &c tho
consequences of the courses lie, Il: =
beenpursuing Had they heen possess
ell of real patriotism, their fears would
have been excited long ago, and they
would not have frittered away the
session until through a partisan speak
er and by league with faction, if
possible more corrupt than themselves,
they have grasped uncheckable con-
troll of Congress by overriding popu-
lar sentiment as expressed through
the ballot box.
1t is well that the Republican party
now balks at its contemplated use of
legislative power, acquired through
contempt of 10th law and precedent.
Nothing however but regard for them
selves is at the bottom of their unac-
customed cautiousness, which after
all may result in little or nothing.
Clippings of taxes on perfumeries and
other luXuries of the rich will not
benefit the poor. The proposition to
reduce stamps on matches will not
help the consumer. Lessening of
bank taxes will not reduce the cost of
tobacco and cigars, neither will it re-
licve that great product of the
withering incubus of monopoly of
trade in it; and in view of our inn
mem>e corn crops, whatever fanatical
comment might follow, the tax on
whi>l,ey had better be entirely re-
moved. As that tax is managed it is
of special benefit to few distillers
only, who are incapable of suppress
sion through prohibition. The great
trouble, which Republican politicians
encounter in their hasty preparation to
meet the questions that will be put to
them when they confront their con-
stiluency and ask for reelection, is
the reckless and eXtravagant appr0-
pria,ion already legalized, which will
make the present congress infamous
forever.

Senator Blaine and His Interviewers.

1t is said that interviewing" is the lion in
the path of all eminent public men. Certainly
it consumes their time and patience, and has
drawn many of them into almost absolute silence.
Senator Blaine, has often been subjected to the
InterViewer's wiles and devices but successfully
evades nearly all of them. One of them got the
better of the Senator n short time ago. Most
insinuating in approaches and quiet in style and
manner, the interviewer had Mr.. Blaine in the
tolls before he knew it, and he was almost tort
ured for a time before he got out thereof

concerning the Senator'S experience, the follow
ing reportorial notes from a long article in the

ton Senator James G.. Blaine has been O

past, and / had been informed that he had been
using st. Jacobs Oil. In order to ascertain the
facts of the case, 1 called at his residence, No.
S21 Fifteenth street. / was unable to see the
Senator, but had a brief interview with his
private secretary Mr.. Sherman, a courteous
gentleman, who informed me that the Senator
had a supply of St. Jacobs Oil on hand, but had
not used any of it, from the fact that he had
recovered before the great German remedy came
to hand, and that he did not require any other
remedy. The Senator, however, has a supply of
st. Jacobs Oil on hand in case he has another
attack of rheumatism.

Civil Summary Court.
BEFORE Il. I. BIckrRroN.

Yesterday, the Chinese firm of Hang lung Kee
X Co, having their place of business at ~
Hotel-street. brought a suit for 500 damages
against Police Officers Marcos and Oadt-who
searched their premises on Sunday, November
5th, for opium.
Mr.. Hartwell appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Mr.. j. VI. Davidson for the defendants.
1t was claimed by the defendants that their
defence would be that they acted lawfully in
the execution of a legal search warrant from Tho
Police Court.
At the opening of the case, Mr.. Hartwell
stated that in his opinion, the Police
Magistrate was not competent TO decide this
case, inasmuch as il was by his authority this
the search warrant was issued. Mr.. Hartwell
failed to see how a judge could try a case with
out prejudice in which he is himself interested.
If the Magistrate decided for the defendants, he
was deciding for himself. Very grave questions
might arise on this point, and he (Mr. H.) spoke
in the interests of all concerned. lie thought
it was one of those eases that the Police
Magistrate ought not to try.
His Honor said, that he was in no way IA
party to the defence, although he had signed the
warrant.
Mr.. Davidson remarked that if His Honor
had taken any part in the execution of the war
rant he would be n party to the defence, but not
otherwise.
By mutual consent the case was continued
until to-day.

tate of the late w. l.. Moehonua was offered for

rate plans and surveys had previously boon pre-
pared by Surveyors Brown and Monsarrat, and

Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court. Priorl
10 commencement of the sale, "A protest was en-
tered against il taking place, but this was over
ruled by the Chief Justice, and the Aucticneer
accordingly announced that purchasers would
be legally entitled TO their lots, and the laimants
could claim only for tho amount realized.
There was n large attendance at the hour nm
nOunced for the commencement Of the sale,
including many relatives of tho deceased and
heirs to the estate. Ii had been estimated by
experts that under the present favorable condi-
ton Of affairs In this Kingdom, tho whole
estate would probably realize $35. 900. Though
this was considered to be the maximum, the re-
suit proved that the value Of land during tho
past six months, under the regime Of the pre-
sent wicked Ministry" has increased 80 TO 40
per cent.
This sale realised S57, 375l The most valu-
able lot OF all proved to be n fsb-pond Of &C
acres, with a sea-fshing right Of 265 acres.

acre.
The purchasers comprised natives, foreigners
and Chinese. There was considerable excite
meIt among the former, and though the prices
paid in n few instances might be termed exorbi-
tant. it still showed that they did not believe tho
reports about the depreciation Of prop
erty. The Auctioneer announced that the terms
of he sale were @ Cash, - and also that the ne
cessary deeds would be ready within n week.
