BEEcHER ON FREE TRADE.-Rev. Hen
nv Ward Beecher, delivered a speech
ore the Brooklyn Revenue Club ON
Wednesday oflast week, which smacks
strongly Of free-trade. The Plymouth
preacher said:
The protectionistsare always want
ing protection TO enable them to com
pete with somebody in the protection
Of something. They cannot be satis-
fed with developing shs great resour-
ces that are at hand all around them,
but they want to compete with some
thing affair Off There are, some pro-
tectionists who even propose to raise
tropical fruits better and cheaper
here than the same fruits can be
raised IN the tropics. In other words,
they propose to compete with old Sol $
best work by raising fruit under a
glass hoase. if they only have protec-
tioh. Mr. Beecher said that if for
eign ministers kept coming over to
10 this country TO compete with the
native article he should go in for a
higher tariff on ministers. 'Serioas-
ly.r Mr.. Reecher said, "the ques-
ton to be. considered BY all intelli-
gent and patriotic citizens is whether
under the false pretense Of tariff We
should continue 10 pour millions and
millions Of dollars into the hands of

BRCTIER CoLToK S COUNSEL. The
= Marylafd r publican-Geo. Cotton
at the bat-adlnonishes the Mary
land Democracy that it has come
upon trOublous times and needs both
harmony and astute strategy to ex-
tricate it from the breakers ahead.
1t is how, says Brother Cotton, a mat
ter Of measures-not mere men. II
ourpolitical timber has grown weak
er than it ought, we must condemn
it and bring to the fore young and
more active blood and brains. The
young democracy, he goes on to say,
should be afforded an opportunity to
prove its knighthood. He counsels
that the elders shall retire to the anx-
ious bench and pray for the veal
OF the party, as 1t appears hopeless
t. reconcile them to each other.
Brother Cotton evidently intends 10
include himself in this ''self-denying
ordinance" as lac says, though he
hopes to die with his political har-
hess on, he is fully aware that even
tue best horses have 10 go to grass
l It'll A.tely" and he suggests in this
connection, that the greybeards who
have ouIliyed their usefulness shall
retire aud give place to youth and
vigor. Anyway he says, there is
no choice left to the Maryland democ-
racv.| 1t is either this or worse.
And he concludes thus: 1.-The com
mon enemy has crcpt upon us like
a thief in the night aud is contesting
every point Of orr vantage ground.
Unless we thoroughly unite our dis
jointed factions, the next November
election will hand us over to the Phil
istines."

Oh THE WARPATH.-At a meeting
OF colOred men. known as 1.-The Le-
giOn Of Invineibles, " in Baltimore last
week, addresses were made and reso-
lutions passed calling upon colored
voters to come boldly forward and de-
mand a recognition of the rights of
the colorsd people of the city and
State, and declaring their determine
tion to no longer submit to dictation
from "so-called party leaders" The
meeting also called for city conven-
ton to meet on the 18th instant to
appoint an executive committee for
the city to manage the business of the
the colored voters.

Gov. BEN Buffers INAUGuRAL.-
The following is the substance of tie
late Inaugural Address of the new
Governor of Massachusetts
After brief statement regarding
the State debt, which amounts to $50.
5ll,68O, the Governor passes at once
to the advocacy of the various Iiber-
al popular measures. He objects to
the capitation tax as a qualification
for suffrage, and says by the present
law the State practically offers
bounty of from one to two dollars TO
any citizen who will stay away from
the polls. The poil-tax might with
rropriety be assessed by the cities and
towns for their proper benefit, but
not as u State and county. tax" In
short, the Governor favors free suf-
frage. which he claims is a right
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States, and confirmed by the
iourteenth amendment. He reckons
that the repeal of the DISTINGUISHING
laws at present in force would add
possibly as many 1857 to the num-
Der OF voters in the State, the number
OF persons at present practically dis
franchlsed and not voting being sos
per cent. of the entire population en-
Titled to the franchise. Voters would
be less intimidated, he thinks. we're
their ballots inclosed in envelopes.
Registration should also be untram-
ineicd, continuing to the day of cleo
tion. The process of naturalization
shoul be facilitated, the authority to
grant naturalization papers being ex-
tended to every court in the State,
instead OF, as at present, being confined
70 the Superior and Supreme Courts.
Woman suffrage has no horrors for
Governor Butler. He is of the opin-
ION that the right to vote is given to
women by the constitution Of the I'm
tied States. lie quotes from the re-

the State officers. The present in

Several national banks in New
York city have lately surrendered
their charters and gone in opera
tion as State banks. The ipmeiiate
reason for this charge'is thel restric-
ton against the ''over-certihcation"
aud acceptance" Of checks, resulting
from the law passed by Congress in
July last and the late opinion of the
Attorney General. Other features Of
the national system have also had
their influence in inducing the change.
The heavy reserve of % per cent
against deposits and onerous taxation
more than counterbalance the ad-
vantage derived from circulating
notes.
