pockets of the people is to be pre-
seryed, there will be no copyright
law, for the people want cheap
books, and cheap books cannot be
had if they are copyrighted. When
a book is copyrighted it means that
the buyer mast pay tax to the puo-
Usher above the actual cost of
bringing out the work, and another
one to the author. Hence American
copyrighted books, like Mark
Twsin's and those of some other Of
our more noted authors, are three or
four times as expensive as they
would be if American publishers
could steal them from some foreign
author. The cheapest books that
we have in this country, and hence
the books best suited to the wants
and pockets of our multitudinous
classes, are those pirated from for
e'gners. American editions of En-
glish and German books are cheaper
than the home editions, fer the rea-
son that Our publishers do not have
to pay royalty to the authors. II the
peoples pockets and wants were
consulted al copyright laws would
be repealed, and especially would
there be no international copyright
law:; but when peoples consciences
are touched, and right and justice
are appealed to, copyright laws
are not only submitted to, but
The author has pros
perty In his books as much as the
broker in his stocks and bonds or
the inventor in his invention, and
should be equally we'll protected
with them; and this protection
ought not to be confined to the au-
thor's own country, for as literature
is universal his property is no less
circumscribed. But it seems to us
that Mr.. Henry c. Lea has made a
stronger argument in favor of piracy
than Of honest copyright.

CoNKLING INTERVIEWED.

The other day, at dinner party
in New York, ex Senator Conkling
talked freely on political matters
with a minister. Among other
things the distinguished statesman
said the Republicans had dismissed
their leaders and were going into
the Presidential campaign almost
without brains. For this reason, he
declared the Democrats have it in
their power to name the next Pres
ident; and that he (COnkling) did
not care how the contest went. He
als1 took occasion to "rosst" His
Fraudulency, the husband of Mrs.
r. B. Hayes, pastime in which
the New Yorker seems to take espe-
cial delight. The good and pious
minister deemed it his duty to note
down the points in this converse
ton, and the same day telegraphed
to st. Louis paper a long and ex-
ceedingly interesting account of
what was said. AS matter
of course Mr.. Conkling de-
mics the correctness of the
report, but does it in a way which
tells plain enough that he is rather
pleased than otherwise that the
matter has gotten into print. He
says the conversation was private,
and certainly not intended for pub
LEGATION, and that he regards even
the garbled account Of Whist he said
as a breach Of social confidence and
trust. The ministerial reporter re-.
plies to the effect that he did not
think he was doing anything wrong,
and that he entertains holy horror
of the professional interviewsr's
style and system. The public Is
not interested in the controversy
going on as to the manner in which
the matter got into print, but is en-
joying Conkling's talk amazingly.

We have received, presumably
from the author, Mr.. Henry @. Lea
OF Philadelphia, an "open letter" to
Congressman Randall, in which the
gentleman is professedly in favor OF
international copyright law, bat
his argument is for a law that will
preserve the manufacture of books
in this country in forms and styles

makers Revelations.

The confidential clerk Of the First Comp
troIIer Of the Treasury. J. J. Barker, who
lately resigned his place in the Treasury
Department, is making revelations that
are very unpalatable to the Republicans.
The First Comptroller passes upon all
claims in the Treasury Department about
which there Is any question, and Barker
had ample opportunity to see the methods
which were employed to get money that
was never earned from the government.
He enumerates a good many cases in
which fictitious claims were allowed and
paid. For instance, he says that $4,000
was allowed to the Marshal Of the Eastern
district Of New York, who presented
vouchers showing that he had paid that
amount to supervisors and deputy mar
shals in the Presidential election Of 1850.
The supervisors and deputy marshals
were paid for days instead Of ! day, as
the law contemplate.
With reference TO tie expenses Of the
star route trials Mr. Barker says that the
country has not yet learned the truth
about them. Enormous sums were paid
out, Of which no account has been pub
lished. Mr.. Barker says that he is ready
to prove. by the vouchers on file in the
Registers Office Of the Treasury Depart
ment. that N lions Of dollars have been
wrongfllly taken from the Treasury.
There is no doubt that he can. Con-
| gresham Post showed pretty eonclusiyely
that the Republican party has stolen
4 $50. 600 900 since II took charge OF the
| government, ard it is more than probable
that Mr.. Post did not discover the whole
trutA.
It's true that the First Comptroller has
denied the charges Of Mr.. Barker, but it
must be remembered that he is a good
| deal Of a crank. and that he is 50 CON-
| pleteIy absorbed in making law in the
| shane Of decisions that he hardly knows
what he does.
| II is related, that not long ago he was
arguing a case before the Supreme Court.
In support Of one Of his propositions he
| quoted a decision in First Lawrence. Tne
| Chief Justice asked him what report that
was. as he was compelled TO acknowledge
that ne mad never heard Of it. With con-
siderable show OF pride the Comptroller
replied that 1t was the first volume Of his
own decisions as Comptroller Of the
Treasury. The Judges smiled as If 70 IN
dictate that Lawrence's decisions might
contain law good enough for the Comp
troIleT, but would hardly be accepted by
the Supreme Court.
If the Democrats get hold Of the govern
ment the developments thatrwill be made
in the Treasury viii doubtless cause the
| greatest sensation Of the age.

The Outlook in Virginia.

The situation in Virginia is exceedingly
promising for the Democrats. MahOne's
white followers have abandoned him in
large numbers, and his chief dependence
is upon the negroes. A very effective
campaign has been made by both parties.
There has not been 50 much public speak
ing as formerly, and the brass band and
torchlight have not been a feature Of the
canvass Of either party. In every county,
however. agents have been at work among
the people, both white and black, with the
purpose Of getting them 70 90 the polls Oh
election day Mr. Barbour, who is man
agin, the Democratic forces, does not be
Iieve in throwing away much money on
speeches. music and torchlights. He be-
Iieves in hunting the voters in their homes.
and he has spent the money AZ his disposal
in that way. II is certain that he viii
succeed in getting out the largest Demo
cratic vote that was ever polled in Viz
gina. Malone has been forced TO follow
his tactics in a great measure, for. two
reasons: First. because he has not been
well supplied with campaign orators, and
second. because the negroes have not
shown a very marked disposition To at
tend political meetings. He has, how
ever. been very active, and the Republi-
can vote will be large. There is no prob
ability, however, that the Republicans

Drumming Up Republican Voters in the
nenarfmenta


The various State associations here,
saws Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun of Oct. "a, have made arrange
meuts with the railroads, wherever practi-
cable. for reductions Of fare to voters in
tending to 90 home to take part in the
Mover Der election. Stronger efforts have
never been made to bring the Washington
reserve into action than at this time, and
any one of the government clerks or en-
plOyes who can by any means put in a
vote in any State and fails to 60 there for
that purpOse will be spotted. Hundreds
and thousands of government employees
in Washington have been in office for
from ten to twenty years, their
families are here with them, they
never expect to return to the States from
which they came, they have no domleIl
there and no possessions, and yet they
are sent off in every Presidential year
like a pack of slaves and compelled to
vote the Republican ticket, whether such
is their desire or not. Particular pains
are taken at this time to drum up every
one who has the least shadow of claim to
a vote in either Of the States Of New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana,
and those who profess to be too poor to
nav the reduced fare will not be per-
united to beg of on any such plea.
The Republican managers are not well
pleased over the unexpected turn in the
political situation in Ohio. All their
forces HAYES have been withdrawn from
that State and concentrated elsewhere,
under the belief that the October election
made the State safe beyond peradventure
for November. But the vigorous work
instituted by the Democrats, and the
evident purpose Of that side to make
stronger fight in November than in Octo-
Der, suggests the doubt that the status
of Ohio may not be so certain after
all. Letters reached here to-day to the
effect that the Independent Repuoll-
can vote in the State has received
numerous accessions on account OF
the disgust experienced by the frauds
which were practiced, and the infamous
conduct Of the Deputy Marshals. 1t is
said that a reversal of the Hamilton
county majority would not be surprising.
A committee of the most prominent citi-
Zens Of Cincinnati has organized with the
determination to leave nothing undOne TO
bring To justice the offending Deputy
MaTshals, their aiders and abettors. 1t Is
asserted that it can be proved that the
United States Marshal said to them,

Quite a sensation was created on the
east side Of New York Thursday morning
BY the death. at the Union Market Police
Station. Of a man named Leonard HOefer,
a German shoemaker, residing at Us
Broome street, whose resemblance to Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler was so striking that
it was difficult, except for an ex-
pert, to tell one from the other
apart. 4 great crowd gaZed at the
remainss The poor man had been
drinking to excess, and his death IN
doubtedly was from disease Of the heart;
but il was not his sad end that drew the
curious throng, bat the remarkable per-
sonal resemblance alluded to.
Benjamin F. Butler, although not a dead
man, is politically dead. bis career in
politics is about ended. His last per-
Torrance is in keeping with his whole
career, and is tie most disgraceful Of
all his performances.
