All of the railroads leading eastward
have adopted what appears to us to be a
very foolish policy in recently advancing
the rate eastward. Prior to this advance
there was corn going East; now the flow is
checked entirely, and the switches for
many miles eastward along nearly all of the
lines of railway are said to be full of empty
carts. What nonsense this methOdOf doing
business IS! A rate which will attract ship
ments should be adopted and adhered to
throughout the season. This bObbing of
rates up one week and down another ap
pears to be anything but business.like.

WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Gen. Grant has
addressed letter to the manufacturers of
Philadelphia in reply to an invitation TO
visit their establishments, saying he can
not at present, but will at q later day when
the excitement of the political campaign
has passed. He will take great pleasure
in making the visit. He closes as follows
''I feel a very great interest in the success
of the manufacturing interests of the coun-
try and their development, looking at their
growth as necessary to the sOlvency of the
nation by keeping down the balance OF
trade against us and in dignifying labor
and making it remunerative. You have
my best wishes for the success of your re-
spective interests, and the interests of all
manufacturers and producers the land
over, until our productions by home labor
for export exclusive of promises to pay
equal our impOrtations or exceed them. "

Reading the Springfield Republican,
one of the most influential Liberal pa
pers, which says:


cit is evident that the tide of public
feeling is now setting against the Liberal
candidates, and that their chances of
success will depend upon the introduc-
ton of some new element into the cam
paigu, or upon some turn of affairs which
shall do as much for them as the last
FIVE weeks have done for their Oppo-
nents


The above question presses itself upon
our consideration.


The verdict of the people of eight
States, every State that has voted ST nee
his nomination, must certainly satisfy
him that his action is meeting with its
due reward-utter defeat. Greeley is as
famous for exciting great questions as he
is for abandoning his propositions at
early and repeated reverses. We are
fully satisfied, that personally, he would
abandon his strife for the Presidency to-
day, were it not that he is fettered by
his greedy supporters. But bound as he
is, it would be almost the first time in
his political life if he should carry on the
fight to its bitter end. We have no
hesitancy in saying that his withdrawal
of his claim, the abandonment Of his
sinking cause, and its surrender into the
hands Of O'Conor is more than probable
and may be expected at any time.

The foreign policy of Pres. Grant has
been one Of the greatest sources of fault
finding and vituperation by his oppo-
neuts ever since his occupation of the
White House at Washington, and its
final success in the Alabama question en-
titles him to one Of the highest positions
in history which party strife may retard
but will never be able to prevent.


England is utterly beaten. She has
come out of the arbitration convicted of
crime and condemned to pay the penalty
fixed by tribunal entirely disinterested,
and without any partisan feeling. The
Chicago Evening Post, speaking Of
England ID this connection, says:


TO have induce nation with such a
history to pay an honest obligation with
out fighting over it. is an achieve ment
Of Republican diplomacy whose splendor
can only be measured by The unsacrlhced
thousands of lives, the undesolated
homes, and the undiversion of treasure
from the legitimate channels Of trade
This achievement is to be credited oil
rectly to President Grant. No candid
man, whatever opinion he may hold of
the home policy of the President, will re-
fuse to him the measure of credit to
which his foreign policy is entitled.


England sent to Geneva a fiat denial

most accomplished statesmen; her ablest,
most polished, and most eloquent advo-
Gates She instructed them TO cavil to

cavled. 1t was of no avail. The ver-
diet was ours. Our amateur statesmen,
at whom it was the privilege of the pub
lie to smile few months ago, have car
ried their case and are coming home
with their spoils. The amount of DANA
ges may not be as great as we are enti-
tied to- but 1t was not part OF our du-
ty to assess It, Neither England or the
United States have fixed the sum.
Whatever it is, it is so many million dol
lars more than England wanted to pay,
more than she declared she was under
any obligation to pay. We have settled
the principles of arbitration. Under a

DIR. Holland diseourses in Scribner's
ON American manners, as follows
''Fine manners will not become univer-
sal and characteristic of American life
for many years. The absorption of the
American mind in the development OF
the resources of the country, in the
prosecution of its indutrial interests,
and in the pursuits of wealth, fOrbids
that aesthetic culture whose natural out
growth is fine manners. Good man
ners, which we already possess, and for
which we hold the only Legitimate and
reliable basis, need simply to be refined.
The refinement of good manners will
not come to us through the pursuits of
fine manners as n fine art but they
will come as 4 natural outgrowth of
general asthectic culture. As the ma
ton becomes more refined manners will
be only one of the forms and modes
through which the growing idea of
that which is graceful and beautiful
will express itself. The man who feels
finely will act finely, provided he
mingles sufficiently in society to act
freeley. There is no value in any form
of fine art without fine feeling, and
there must be something better than
the character OF typical Latin on which
to base style of manners worth pos
session or emulation. Managers pur-
sued as an art for their own sake will
become artificial, and thus react upon
character in very disagreeable and
dangerous way.

''One of my friends has kept his horse
sound through all the epidemic by feed
ing boiled potatoes and meal, as hot as
it could be endured, and also by keep
ing buck goat in the stable. This an
imal is very valuable as a preventive OF
equine disease, and it would be well if
this fact was more generally known.
The very efiluvia of the goat, unpleas-
ant and even disgusting to humanity,
is said to protect the horses from many
of the diseases to which this animal is
subject" Whether this story is true or
not, the experiment would cost little,

Yesterday morning the case OF the United States

Shipping act, particulars OF which have been fully
reported In the HERALD, was resumed Testimony
In the case being closed


Mr.. Robert Andrews, counsel for the defendant,
proceeded 10 sum up the facts OF the case and also
to draw the attention OF the Court to some ques-
tons OF law. II appeared from his statement that
the defendants went out in boat to a German
vessel that was lying IN the bay Ihey boarded her.
One OF the prisoners got on the deck and the
other was on the rail- when they were arrested by
police oficcr. At the time OF the arrest the cap
tain OF the vessel WAS not on board, but the ship
was under the control OF the mate, and counsel
argued, therefore, that in the absence OF pcrms-
sion from the captain tere was no refusal on the
part OF the mate TO allow the de,endants to go on
board. he also urged that the vessel had not
rea he'd her destination at the time she was
