But the bill contains another feature.
After changing the law in regard to sugar
duties in the way that have mentioned it
proposes to diminish the tax upon Bessemer
steel rails, to take off $8 per ton. What is
that to bel Will not the duty of $50 that is
left be In effect equally prohibitorya Does
not every man here know that 800 per ton
is higher rate ad valorem compared with
the present prices of rails, than S28 was
when the rate was first established In 1870?
If you mean reduction, effect it ; but here
you have $50 per ton upon this iron changed
to steel by simple pneumatic process
almost without expense, and you have pro-

duty of S2S per ton was imposed in 1870

Every thing in price is comparative.
Every thing depends upon the results of in

You are not reducing the relative rates of
this commodity in the way of taxation but
you are simply adjusting them at the same
rate or indeed higher rate to existing trade
and business. The tax Of $50 per ton upon
Bessemer steel rails will be in effect pro

either to increase revenue or to diminish
cost to the American consumer. The cost
has been diminished but diminished how

progress of invention, by the facilities which
discovery has given to the production of
this commodity That is what has brought
Bessemer steel to lower price both in Eng

HENsON,s DEADLY AYE.
A Jealous Negroes Desperate Assault
His Wife.


CHARL EsToN, s. c., July ia special
from Chesterfield county says: A most
horrible and brutal murder was committed
yesterday ON the plantation of w. A. Pegues,
about eight miles from Cheraw. A negro
named William Henson, who has been re-
siding on the place with his family had not
been getting on as smoothly with his wife as
he should and had accused her of failure
on her part to keep the marriage vows.
Yesterday he attacked her with an axe but
she fled to the house of her father, where
she was pursued by Henson with an axe in
hand which he began to use freely as soon
as he reached the house striking at those
who interferod with him.
The woman was first struck in the breast
with the axe and atterward received fatal
blow on the head, the axe burying itself in
the skull in such manner that it Is said two
men were required to pull it out. Death
followed instantly, as did also the flight of
the murderer, and up to this time he has not
been captured. The coroner is holding an
inquest over the remains to-day, and the
sheriff of this county and Anson county in
North Carolina, with posse of fifty men
are securing the woods in all directions for

LAST RELIGIOns RITES.
The Burial of Mrs. Lincoln at Springfield
Yesterday.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 19.-By a sus-
pension Of business, public and private and
general attendance at the. funeral of Mrs.
Lincoln, the citizens to-day testified their
respect for the relict of the late President
Abraham Lincoln. The services were held
in the First Presbyterian Church, which
was crowded with people, and the streets in
the neighborhood were blocked with throngs
unable to gain admittance. Governor
Cullom, Judge G.. II. Treat, General John
A. McGlernard, Hon. Milton Hay, Colonel
John Williams, John S. Johns, Hon. James
c. Conkling and Captain John s. Bradford
acted as pall-bearers. The altar was com
pletely covered with handsome flowers and
Grape. The State officials attended in a
body. Secretary Lincoln, two members of
his family and near friends came just behind
the remains, followed by the Lincoln Guard
of Honor. The services were brief, consist
ing of music by special choir, prayers by
the Reys. r. o. Post and T. A. Parker and
sermon by j. A. Reed. The arrangements
were simple, there was no attempt at display
and the minister attempted no eulogy ac-
cording to her expressed wish. The sermon
was largely biographical and very interest
ing in historical "reminiscences.

A FIGHT IN PROSPECT.
Wilson and Sullivan TO Contest in the Eein
for So, 900 a Side. y5T

New YORK, July 19.-The indications
now are that Tug Wilson and Sullivan, the
pugilists, will soon have another set 10.
Wilson's friends are anxious that the two
men should engage in square bare fist
fight, as they are convinced from what
Wilson did on Monday night, that he can
whip Sullivan in square contest.
X. X. Fox, Wilson's hacker, has made a
deposit of 81 900 on his offer to wager
81, 800, but Sullivan's friends say that this
is not enough consideration in the way of
stakes. They claim that their man is the
better of the two, and that if any match is
made 1t must be for 5000 a side.
Since Mr.. Fox posted his money yesterday
the matter has been very generally discussed
by the sporting profession here, and the in
dieations tonight are that Wilson's hackers
will consent to the increase of stakes.

GRANTS AMBITION.
A Likelihood That lie win be Candi-
date for Governor of New York.


PHILADELPHIA, July 19,-An evening
paper publishes the following special
ALBANY July 14.-Prominent politicians
here say that they believe it highly probable
that General Grant will tuin up at the last
moment as the administration candidate for
governor of New York.
It is perfectly understood that President
Arthur is intensely anxious to defeat the re-
nomination of Cornell, but the President is
equally desirous to preserve a non-com-
initial altitude in public for fear of
exciting fresh antagonism, and of having it
said that he did his best and was unable to
cope with the Governor after all. The tactics
of Arthur's friends are to encourage local
candidates in all sections and then to bring
them all to focus when the convention
meets. For this special object Grant is held
In reserve Should Cornell be able to upset
the Presidents calculations he will be re-
cognized from that moment as Arthur's
master.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.

The floods at the West have at
tanned a magnitude, the extent of
which is hardly appreciated, here at
the East. One report estimates the
sufferers who have been left destitute
in Arkansas at twenty-one thousand.
From Little Rock alone comes re-
ports of twelve thousand persons
made absolutely destitute and at
Helena the inhabitants have been
compelled to abandon their homes,
losing everything, and to flee for their
lives. More than twenty thousand
head of cattle have been DESTROYED
by these floods and the destruction
of property has been enormous.
Louisiana and Mississippi have also
suffered greatly. A correspondent
of the New York Herald telegraphs
from Kiverton, in the latter State ::
''Nothing can be seen of the town
except the upper stories and roofs of
the houses. Two miles above River
ton is the once beautiful little village
of Rosdale, a charming little Miss
issippi town, and the county seat of
Bolivar county. 1t had three or
four stores, hotel. one or two sa-
looms, a court house and a PRINTING
office. When the levee broke at
Riverton the water rapidly backed
upon Rosedale till it stands eight OF
ten feet in the streets, The women
and children of Riverton and Rose
dale were carried in skiffs to Terrene.
Miss, where refuge was found in the
freight wharf boat. 1t was sad
/ picture indeed to see thirty or more
women and children cooped up in the
rough quarters there, and only toe
glad to be able to keep out of the
water. AT the landing at Laconis

Circle, some of the government sup
plies were dispensed and grateful
shout of thanks went up from the
half starved sufferers. At Concordia
| saw perhaps an acre of dry land,
the only dry spot except the tops of
the levee to be seen between Helena
and Arkansas City, From many
other points come similar reports !;
and more than this, it is feared that
the present distress is only a begin
ming. The levees are broken in so
many places that the impoverished
communities will be entirely unable
to repair them in times to prevent
overflow when the June rise comes,
and there is possibility that under
the best circumstances the ground
will be in such condition as to de-
lay planting until too late for a good
crop.
The members of congress from the
afflicted States have resolved to ask
for an additional appropriation of
100000, and for an appropriation
to repair the levees at once-a work
which, to be done promptly and eff
fectively, so as to be of service to
the people, would require something
like million dollars.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

The Hour, New York journal of
great ability, commenting upon the
financial situation, reasons that there
is no good reason for expecting an
Immediate recovery in the prices of
grain, provisions, cotton and railway
shares. 1t says that all advance
movements i'll prices since 1879 have
coexlsted with gold importations, and
have been dependent upon the action
OF the banks in furnishing spectators
with money to carry on operations,
and that now the banks have all their
available funds locked up to help GUS
toners carry their stocks, and are
contracting their issues. 1t adds
LAS the season advances, the with
drawal of circulation becomes larger.
and the distress of the holders of Sc
curlties and stocks, of cotton and
grain, will become greater. Secre-
tary Folger favors this withdrawal of
currency on the ground that it will
put stop to mischieyous speculation
and permit the expectation of Amer
lean products. Undoubtedly the
banks will deserve well of the country
if they break down the rings which
are keeping up prices and deprive us
of foreign market; but it will Sc
cure for them the keen enmity of very
powerful interests.

The bulls will not get much comfort
from the administration. 1t is the
money-lending interests of the east,
and not the money-borowing opera
tors of the west, who have the ear of
President Arthur and Secretary Fol-
ger. Any bill, therefore, which looks
to an addition to the currency of the
country, or to bring about higher
prices. will have no chance of getting
the approval of the executive. The
liquidation must 90 on. But the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try are pretty certain to be fostered
by the action of the congress now in
session. We are to have a new steel
navy; so much is settled. Thirty
millions is spoken of as its cost; it
will amount to over a hundred mil
lions, all of which is to be spent in
the coal and iron interests, and will
be especially advantageous to Penn
sylvania and Delaware. Whatever
notifications may be made in the tar
iff will be in the interest of the man
ufacturers. Then there is every
probability that steamship lines to
different quarters of the world will be
subsidized. This will be another bo-
nus to the shipbuilding interests of
the east. A great deal of money
will also be spent upon improving the
harbors of the sea coasts, and the
lakes and the water-courses of the in
terror. 1t is curious to notice, by the
way, how history repeats itself. In
eras of imitation, stocks at the various
exchanges are first affected; then
comes products of the soil, which are
made the basis of speculation gen
eral merchandise and manufactures
are next in order, the end of all be-
ing great land speculation. We
have had our stock frenzy, then the
great speculation in cotton, bread
stuffs and provisions, and now has
come the time for manufactures and
general trade, and it is this interest
which the present congress is dispos-
ed to foster, to the partial neglect of
the railroad and produce manipula-
tors. "-MirrOr and Farmer.

STATE POLITICS.

There are those who are claiming
originality in the suggestion Of Lieut..
Gov. John l.. Barstow for the GOV
ernorship, but the truth is, he was
''named' for the place during the
last session of the legislature. 1t
was then very freely talked among
his friends appearances seemed to in
dictate him as the coming man, and
as ne is farmer and representative
of the most numerous class of our
people, the farmers in the senate
were particularly pleased with the
outlook for him at that time. His
service for his country in the field
and his civil record as assessor of in
ternal revenue and in the legislature,
where he displayed good ability, add
ed to his many fine qualities as man
and citizen, all told very largely in
his favor, and it was set down as
good as settled, ''if nothing happen
ed to prevent" Nothing has hap
pened thus far and there is every
prospect of his nomination by accIa-
nation. And it cannot be said that
it is the work of any particular Gin
fiuence" or ring We do not be-
lieve Gen. Barstow is that kind of a
man. In the outset it was the spon-
taneous tribute of admiring friends
and co-laborers and it has grown to
the present dimensions without effort
on the part of any one Woodstock
Standard.

perfectly frantic for fear that Mr..
Conkling would accept the supreme
court judgeship offered him, now
look around savagely, and want to
know who is going to accept what
Mr.. Conkling declines. There never
has been time, we believe, when
men could not be found to take SUI
preme court judgeships, and we have
no fears that there will need to he a
vacant chair in the supreme court
room for very long. The supreme
court was not harmed a bit by Mr..
Conkling's declination of a seat upon
its bench, and any man, no matter
who he may be, has a right to be
proud over the offer of a place upon
the highest judicial tribunal in the
United States. Mr.. Conkling prob
ably thought he could do better than
to take the place, but it is very puer-
lie folly to insinuate that Mr.. Conk-
ling's refusal of the place has infu-
enced Mr.. Edmunds in his declina-
ton, OF will influence any one else
who is worthy of having the place Of

ONE WAY TO KEEP AMERICA
AHEAD.

We were recently told a strange
story by young American manu-
facturer who has recently returned
from e trip to Europe. On the
steamer on which he returned was
young English manufacturer, not
mole than twenty-five years of age.
The two became acquainted, and in
fact, owing to the crowded state of
the steamer, they occupied the same
state-room. The English manufac-
turer was one of two brothers who
had come into possession of two cot
ton mills in England by the death of
their father. One of them was on his
way to America in pursuit of know
ledge of his business. Every night
the steward brought that young manu-
facturer to his state-room in condi-
ton of hel pless drunkenness. When
expostulated with, he said this was
the custom in England, and employ
er and the employed were alike in
this respect, the only difference being
that the employed got their drink at
one place and the employers at an
other. When last seen the Young
Englishman was on the dock in New
York, possibly waiting for the next
steamer home, which he was plainly
advised to take.
The young English manufacturer
admitted that Is per cent, of the OPP
eratives in his mills are unfit for work
on one or two days III the week, and
it was the general experience of En-
glish manufacturers. Such is one of
| the deplorable results of the general
sottishness that prevails under the
English license system, and it is a
disadvantage that America will do
well not to copy. There is danger
of it, however, where the license sys-
tenn or loose drinking habits prevail.
We were told last week, by Massa-
chusetts manufacturer, that he had
lately discharged nine men because
of their habits of intoxication. "AU
such men must co. he said. II
will not employ any but sober men.
This is the true policy for America
undoubtedly, and if adhered to will
not only give American manufacture
ers the advantage of reliable work
men, but it will operate as a power
full restraint upon the workmen them
selves. When men find thew cannot
hold situations unless they let the
vile poison alone, many will give it
a wide berth who would otherwise
yield to it. Then it becomes the in
terest of industry as well as the secu-
ity of society to give the traffic nc
quarter.-Telegrdpy.
