More About the Tariff Of '57.

A correspondent writing to the
Pittsburg Times corrects some mis-.
statements aud erroneous ideas that
have been floating around through
Democratic papers of the State Of
late. He saws:
The Post makes a savage attack on
Congressman John Dalzell predicted
on quotations from the free trade
Philadelphia Record and James 6.
Blsinc's Twenty Years 10 Congress I"
The facts of history amply vindicate
Mr. Dslzell's interview to which The
Record and Post take exception. 1t
is true that Nathaniel P. Banks, who
was subsequently, identified with the
Republican party, was Speaker of the
House of Representatives which pass.
ed the tariff act Of March 8, 1857.
He was, however, a minority Speaker,
having been elected on February 2,
1856, after three months struggle
under an agreement by which the
candidate having the highest vote
should be declared elected. The vote
was Banks 103, Aiken 100, Fuller 6,
Campbell 4, Weller not voting, 20.
The house was composed of Demo.
Gratis, Wings, Free Sellers, Ameri-
cans and Republicans; Meth.
er the House nor its com.
mittee was controlled by the last
named party. 10 fact the party was
hardly born, its first national conven
tion having been held on the 22d of
February, 1856, in Lafayette Hall,
Pittsburg, three weeks after Banks
election. Banks himself was elected
to Congress as a Democratic. free
Soiler and native American. The
house was in fact controlled by the
Democrats and the members of the
other parties from the South and the
representatives of the importing in.
terests OF the Atlantic cities. The
Senate was strongly Democratic apd
the President, franklin Pierce, was
of that faith and was controlled by
Jefferson Davis and his colleagues of
the Cabinet, as Mr.. Dalzell asserted.
The tariff bill was in truth as be says,
an administration measure.
Mr.. Blaine in bis Twenty Years
in Congress-" quoted by the Post,
says:
The one excuse given for urging
the passage of the act of 1857 was
that under the tariff of 1846 the rev.
enues had become excessive and the
income of the government must be
reduced. Bot it was soon found to be a
most expensive mode of reaching that
end"
In six months after its passage the
country had the panic of 1857, the
effect of which continued till the
breaking out of the war and the pas.
sage of protective legislation. The
revenues of the government fell of
and its credit sank below par. The
bad effects of the tariff of 1S46 were
not felt when the act of 1857 was
passed. They were felt most bitterly
in 1847 aud 1848 with the result that
the Wings elected their President,
Geu. Taylor, who died before any
change could be attempted. and the
discovery of gold which followed 10
l049, aud the Crimean war, gave the
country a great temporary prosperity
which received its quietus by the tar.
if of 1857 That act was opposed
by all the Republican and Whig
members from Pennsylvania and was
passed in the house by 124 to II.
Men like Seward, Morrill, and Colfax
bitterly opposed its passage and pre-.
dicted the results which actually fol-
lowed. Mr. Dalzell is as usual right
and the Post as usual wrong.

Interesting Case.

In ESQ. Maddox's Court, yesterday
was heard the case of Grace Turnipseed
against Alfred Carmen. When Grace
was babe her mother died. Garments
wife adopted the child. Later, Grace's
father died at the Soldiers Home, leav.
ing her some pension money and other
small property interests. Then Mrs.
Carmen died.
Grace continued in the home, doing
the housework. Within a year or so,
she came of age. Her guardian, Davis
Vance, gave her check for balance
due her of $12277. She and Carmen
drew it from one bank and deposited it
in another in Carmen's name. He says
she gave it to him. She says she did
not. In another transaction involving
some land he got $50 from her. These
amounts she asked judgment for.
Carmen brought in a bill against her
for over thousand dollars, more than
eight hundred dollars being for board
as far back as the statnte of limitations
would allow. Other items were for
clothing, etc. One charge of $25 was
for the use of a buggy which Grace said
she had used only three times, and $50
was for help in getting the estate set.
tied.
Attorney Morrow asked if he charged
the girl tor securing her money for his
own use. This was a strong point
against him.
The jury returned verdict of $173.49
for plaintiff. Defendant gave notice of
appeal.

COxeyites.

One of the most excrutiatingly funny
affairs seen in our city lately was the
march of the impromptu Coxeys to the
hard times social given by the Kings
Daughters Thursday evening. The mot.
ley "army" headed by a typical hard
timer with big bass drum. was the
observed of all observers. They were
given an undisputed right of way. It
would be an enormous task to attempt a
description of the costumes of the Gel
ebrities represented. 1t would be hope.
lessly impossible to repeat the emphatic
remarks they uttered when, upon re.
turning to the club room, after their
triumphs abroad, they found their good
clothes were either missing, or that the
sleeves and legs had been tied in in
Vulnerable knots and beaten to make
them hard. 1t would have been bad for
the scoundrels who did this, if they had
appeared upon the scene while their
tattered victims were "chawin' green
apples" and muttering cuss words.

The Juvenile Disappointment.

Some time since, the NEws-HERALp
procured from the manufacturers a pic
ture of our proposed new fountain. That
picture was souls delight. The artist
knew his business. The whole com.
munity was on tiptoe OF expection to
see the original. 1t is here now, and in
position, but if there should be a group
around it, no one would ever suspect
there was fountain near. After all,
though, we should not be too exacting.
Much of the lack of effect is probably
due to the fact that it has been set down
on level with the esplanade. 1t is the
general belief that if the basin of the
fountain was raised foot or so, and the
figure was also raised two feet or more
on pyramid of natuaral boulders, the
whole affair would look hundred per
cent. better. Then, it is not painted,
and appears only in the red coatings
put on to preserve it from rust. And
the surroundings are not favorable. The
tall band stand SO close by diminishes
the effect of the fountain. Then, the
dirt and debris about, are not pleasant
associations. Give the boy chance.
Raise the basin, by all means. 1t is now
just convenient height for boys of all
ages and colors to use as a setee. 1t
should be elevated to higher purpose
and altitude. We did think once, that
when Wilmingtonians and Washington
ians and Greenfelders came oyer here,
we'd march them around and stand
them up in front of our fountain. But
now-well, we'll wait few days, if
"you'd just as rather!"

Ditchfd.

AS the $40 train on the G., P. q V.
was leaving this city yesterday morning,
the locomotive and tender ran through
an open switch and tumbled over the
embankment, just beyond the Bell
Foundry. Fortunately the open switch
was seen in time for the engineer, John
Sullivan, to reverse the engine and jump
from the cab. He landed apparently
right under the falling engine, but,
alighting on his feet, sprang out of dan.
ger. 1t was narrow escape. Fireman
George Heiner jumped from the oppo.
site side.
Conductor Sam Carr and brakeman
w. L. Pugh say the train was terribly
shaken up
The engine lies on its back. The ten.
der is standing up on one side. None
of the couplings we're broken, and the
engines complete turning over checked
its forward movement and prevented
the cars from following down the EN-.
bankment.
Mrs. Branson Worley and her little
son and Mrs. A. A. Kennedy were
among the passengers in the coach.
The accident, it is said, was due to the
! forgetfulness of section man who
| opened the switch to run his handcal
off the main track, and neglected tc
close it again.
Trains are running again today.

A Little Too Interesting.

Charles Hughes and Reece Roberts
were before his Honor, Mayor Davis,
Monday morning charged with assault
and battery. The evidence showed that
they had assaulted couple of colored
men in Matte Maher's saloon Saturday
night. Hughes pleaded guilty and Rob.
erts stood trial. Both were bound over
to the Probate Court in the sum of 5000.
James White, Jake White and Frank
Hughes who were also charged with
assault and battery, growing out of the
same trouble, waived examination and
were bound over in the sum of 5000 each

A Running Skirmish.

Saturday there seems to have been an
epidemic of unpleasantness. Whether
this was the result of bad streak in the
whisky or some atmospheric condition,
might be an interesting question for
scientists.
Soon after dark Ide Day, who is rather
a dark day, fred shot at Frank Thomas,
who was lodging into the grocery store
OF H. Strain & Co. The bullet came
very near striking Clint Doggett and
buried itself in candy jar. Day then
started on a run across Main street,
in the direction of Carroll's Carriage
Works. Officers Huston and Cooper
were promptly in his wake. They chased
him down the alley to the vicinity OF
the Kramer stables. On the run Hus.
ton called on him several times to stop,
and then fired twice. Just as the officers
came up, Day whirled on them and fred
at Huston. Immediately both officers
grabbed him, and on wrenching the gun
from his grasp, found that he had
cooked it, ready to fire again.
Evidence developed at the trial shows
an old grudge between the two, growing
out of the alleged attentions OF Thomas
to the sweetheart of Day. The men had
met twice within half an hour previous
to the shooting, and harsh words had
passed between them.
On Monday morning Day pleaded
guilty to assault with intent to kill, and
was bound over to the Common Pleas
Prosecutor Garrett will call special
grand jury for this case, in order tc
obviate the expense of maintaining Day
in the county prison until next term O

Not Enough Water.

During the past week the capacity of
the wells at the pumping station has
been sufficiently tested to indicate that
the million-gallon standard can not be
reached without more wells. But this
need not cause any uneasiness, as the
contractors are bound to supply the
million gallons per day if it takes forty
wells, and they are already preparing to
put other wells down. Mr.. Wagner,
the gentleman who supervised the put.
ting down of the present wells, is a very
sick man, with little hopes of recovery.
He is at his home in Dayton. Another
gentleman is here to put down the nec
essary additional wells. While the sup.
ply of water would now be more than
sufficient for all demands for years, per.
haps, it must be remembered that the
works are being built for the future,
and it is hoped the day may come when
the full capacity will be demanded.
Hence, it is important that the contract
requirements in this respect should be
fulfilled. There need be no fear that
the works will be accepted until this is
done. The city still holds $4,000 of the
contractors money, which will only be
paid when the required amount of water
is produced. Besides this, the bonds
men of the contractors are also liable for
any failure to fill the requirements.
The contractors are not trying to
evade these conditions at all. They
have evidently worked in good faith
throughout, and intend to make splen-
did job of this plant.
The pumps were some twenty
hours filling the stand.pipe, which holds
about 100000 gallons.
Our impression is, and has been, that
eight wells, instead of being placed in
two rows straight up and down the creek
valley, should have been ranged across
the valley, reaching outward on either
side OF the creek, thus tapping broader
area in the current descending the val
ley. AS it is, it would seem that the
first. four pumps would about exhaust
their frontage of water, leaving nothing
for the other four. This, however, il
mere theorizing, and might not prove
true in practice. Some thinks there il
a basin and the lower wells are only or
the edge of it.
1t is thought by some that air is get
ting in around the wells, and that there
is really plenty of water.
We shall soon know, as there will b,
thorough tests made in all respects.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
An Explosion Of Blasting Powder at
the Rucker Stone Quarry. Four
Men 1njured-Two Of
Them Fatally.

About five o'clock yesterday afternoon
terrific powder explosion occurred at
the stone quarry.
The holes had been drilled for num-
ber of blasts, and John Emery was
standing over one of them pouring in
powder from keg. In group about
him were Tom Mccormick, the foreman,
Billy Jefferson, colored man, and
Henry Beard, the water boy. Near by
were two other kegs of blasting powder.
They were investigating one of the
charges on account Of it not going off,
and while at work re.charging it ex-
ploded. The keg in Emery's hands ex.
ploded and with it the two kegs near by.
There was general rush Of sixty or
seventy workman to the scene, and the
poor, blackened victims we're found in
terrible condition. Their clothing was
on fire, and, though the open explosion
had not mutilated them, they were ter.
ribly burned.
Emery sustained the worst injuries,
being burned about all over, except a
part of one leg. There is very little, if
any chance for his recovery. Emery is
probably thirty years ofage, unmarried,
and came from about New Market. He
was taken to the Office of Drs. Holmes
& McQuillett, who did everything pos
sible for the alleviation of his sufferings.
Mccormick was terribly burned on
both hands, the left arm and shoulder,
and about the face and eyes. His in
juries are very serious, though not
necessarily fatal.
Henry Beard, the water boy, was fear.
fully burned. His right side, from foot
to head, including part of his back and
his right arm are roasted. His ear is
charred and his face and scalp burned
to crisp.
These victims we're placed in charge
of Drs. Brown, Glenn and Nelson, who
soon had them in as comfortable condi.
ton as possible under the circumstances.
The boy, Beard, will probably die.
Will Jefferson, the colored man,
escaped more fortunately than the
others. He sustained severe superficial
burns about the legs, arms and on side
of his face. His injuries are very pain.
full, but with good luck, DR.. Russ, who
has his case in charge, thinks he will
pull through all right.
At the time of the explosion boy
was approaching, thirty or forty feet
away, with an armload Of dynamite in
the shape of sticks. A minute later he
would have deposited them by the
powder. They were all capped, anG
that they did not explode when shaker
from the boys arms by the conclusion
is wonder. Had their force beer
added to that of the powder no one car
calculate what the effect might have
been.
The report OF the accident spread like
wild fire. Hundreds hurried to the
scene, and willing hands were eager to
do everything possible for the unfortu.
nate victims.
l. This is the firstserious accident which
has occurred at the quarry under its
present management,
