Two ambassadors and their sec
retaries are now on the way to this
country to present the protest Of
the government of Madagascar
against the illegal invasion Of its
rights by France. The appeal OF
Madagascar to the United States is
significant as expressing the con-
viction of the people of the old
world that this country will turn a
deaf ear to the story of oppesion
and wrong from any land. The
khedive of Egypt and Arab both
testified that the only nation which
seemed to be disinterested in its
saiendrhip for Egypt was the Uni
ted States, and the appeal from
Madagascar indicates thai the peo-
pie of that island have equal faith
in our disinterested devotion to the
cause of humanity. Fortunately
for them, nations which will be dis
will aid them in assisting
the usurpation of France. 49,,

Suppose congress does remove
the constitutional inhibition and
permit suits to be brought against
a state, will it not be ez post facto as
to Tennessee and therefore inopera-
tivep The constitution itself stands
in the way of its enforcement, and
even if that specific clause is abro-
gated, still the rights are vested I'M
der contract entered into when
these saving clauses were in opera
ton and to annul them would be to
violate the obligations of the con-
tract. Moore's proposition there
fore is only an advertisement of his
own assininity and cheap meth
cd Of abusing the south. One Of
the features of the times is the dis
position of public men to pose in an
attitude of incorruptible honesty
while they grab every thing in
reach. This incident illustrates
the danger of setting up obscure
men in trusty places.

Polk in Jail.

1t seems from the following, taken
from Tuesdays Banner that Elk
Treasurer Polk has not been feed
ing upon the fat of the land since
his incarceration, but is treated but
little better than other prisoners
The banner says:
There have gone out reports that
Col. NJ. T. Polk received his meals
from the best restaurants in the
city and that his cell was furnished
with fine carpets and furniture
From the following testimony of the
taller, this is seen to be a mistake,
1t would be to the credit of his
friends and family if such comforts
could be given him; for it is shown
by the attending physicians that
his health is fast failing and likely
to be entirely destroyed through
damp, stone floors and walls. I'm

He had been in charge of the
Jail since the defendant had been

placed on the floor of his cell. De
PENDANT remained in his cell all
night every night, but generally sat
around the yard or in the Office of

in conversation with his attorneys.
In reply to interrogations from

prisoners, and required in all res

placed in his cell, and a piece of
carpet put down on his floor, the
latter he supposed for the purpose
of stepping on from the bed to the

One View of the Tariff Question

The iron producers of Alabama
held a meeting at Calera last Satur-
day and memorialized Congress as
follows, in favor of protection
That we, as the iron producers OF
Alabama, have a vital interest in
the pending tariff legislation; that
the distance from the markets for
our products neutralizes the advan-
tages we may have of cheaper pro-
dnction; that we need the tariff to
secure the American markets to
American producers; that with En-
glish wages we could defy England,
but that paying as we do double
her wages, we cannot compete with
her, even in the markets of our own
state. That the whole sums paid
IN dividends on capital invested in
pig iron making in Alabama and
Georgia have not amounted to five
per cent of the capital sunk and lost
in the same business during the
past Is years. That we earnestly
urge the passage ola tariff bill this
session, not less protective than the
commission bill, and that we shall
seriously deprecate any attempt to
defeat the will of a majority of con-
gress by factious opposition. That
we positively dissent from the re-
Gently published statement of an
official of an Alabama Iron Compa-
ny, that iron is being made in Ala
bama for 50 per ton, as differing
from our own experience with equal
facilities, by 80 to so per cent, even
for the cheaper grades of iron, and
that it is our opinion, based on ten
years. experience in iron making,
chat the cost of making pig iron
in the south. will increase rath
er than diminish"
