THURSDAY. JULY 27. ISW.
TUB CHEAT HE9IEDV.
There is scarcely a day In which wc do not
read of cases of suffering communities In the
South, and of doleful prospects of still more
suffering as the season advances Into winter.
We see. In almost every journal, direful prog
nostications of the dissolution of Southern
society, of a bloody war of races, and a fear
ful reign of barbarism and anarchy, the .con
tinuation of which no man can foretell.
There may be, Indeed, we doubt not, there is
some foundation for the apprehensions that
the people of the Sonth teel, and there un
questionably Is, in limited districts la which
wnr has fiercely raged, the great scarcity of
food that betokens want among the masses.
We can do nothing for present distress save
to contribute our mite to its relief, and to
urge others to the exercise of Christian liber
ality. But we can tell the people of the
South of a sovereign panacea for the more
terrible disasters that they swj glowering
upon them In the future. Our remedy has
the merit of being not only easy of applica
tion, but of unquestionable efficacy. It Is
not only a cure for present Ills, but a proph
ylactic to prevent the occurrence of serial
nud political evils by and by, the apprehen
sion of which is the cause ot svmccb
distress. It la so simple that wc fear
it may be laughed at by those who imagine
that nothin? bat superhuman means can re
t-toie and preserve order In the lately rebel
lious States: but as it accords with the
theory of the divine government of the
worlc, and with the znoei advanced ideas of
social and political science as taught among
men, we do not fear the ridicule cf pur
blind politicians, mousing tricksters aud
p. ddling compromisers who call themselves
statesmen, by stating them in full. It is
this : “ A FAIR DAY’S WAGES FOB A GOOD
DAY’S WORE.”
If ihc jMjoplc of ibc South ■will adopt this
rule aud stick by it, without asking any
questions as to the color, condition -or so*
clal siafvt of those by whom the work is
dote, the Doubles that now afflict the lately
rebellious States will disappear, and with
them the portent* cf evil to come. The
labim* who, In some cases, arc now offered,
as :n ihc days of slavery, ** the lash, instead
o: the cash,*’or who arc, In o*her rases, re
sisting the demand that they shall toil from
sun; ise till dark for five dollars in money and
a bushel of meal and twenty pounds of rusty
bacon per month, will, we have no doubt,
yum? to their tasks with alacrity, and we
stall hear no more of the “ insubordination,”
Ihe ** impudence,” or, to use a much-abused
won], the 44 demoralization” of that class.
The wheels of industry and commerce, that
•renew blocked, w3l begin to move again;
the value of real cerate, now merely nomi
nal, will greatly Improve; where there Is
destitution and unlhrift we shall see
evidences of prosperity and care; cities and
towns will begin to grow with a new growth;
and the whdomsnd justice of the l*w, that
the 11 laborer is worthy of his Mrs,” will he so
apparent that no man will again call it In
question either in theory or practice. Yes,
that is what is wanted in the South —that and
nothing lees. A day’s wages for a day’s
work, being every where the rule, peace will
every where be th* result.
We ask the laboring men of ths Korth, if
this plain, simple and just remedy for the dis
orders with which ths country Is afflicted, and
the greater disorder with which it is threat
ened, should not be tried without further do
l»y? And we ••«, .«- *»-r
willing iu support any jmlicy or any party,
that, in dealing with the questions now at
issue, is willing to dlsregaid that first founda
tion of American Democracy, 44 A fab day’s
wages for good day’s work.” This is the
ipt»jn fact lor them to consider.

By tbe census of 1600 tbe black population

In Alalmma, in' 6 counties ol 55 in Arkansas,
In C counVcs of SI In Florida, In 43 counties

in South Carolina, in 3 counties of 75 la Ten
nessee, In 13 comities cf 151 In Texas, and iu
44 counties of 14S in Virginia.
As members of the State Legislatures are
mainly elected by counties, universal euf
liege would, even on the above basis, give
the colored vole, if it were consolidated
against the white vote, the control of the
Legislatures of three of the States above
named, viz.: Booth Carolina, Louisiana and
Mississippi. Yet the above basis inadeipiately
represent* the numerical strength of the
colored population, as it makes no allow
ance for the vast number of white voters lost, i
b«nishcd and disfranchised by the war, which I
Jor exceeds any local diminution in the num
bers of the colored population. While this
allowance can only be approximately esti
mated, it may safely be inferred that it would
shoa a preponderance of colored over white
counties in two or three of the other Stales.
What Is the inference to be drawn from the
above figures? I* it that If universal suffrage
be extended to the colored population in those
counties they will straightway elect colored
men to the Legislature, and through
that to the U. S. Senat*-, and that hence it
nmst not be extended ? By no means. The
colored men will seek to elect those who
will best protect their interests, not merely
exhibit tbeir color. They will see that in
the State and National Legislatures, a black
repirstniative would labor under disadvan
tages which a white one, of no greater ability,
would not, and thty will not needlessly em
barrass their cause by employing an offensive
advocate. There con be no doubt that In
tbite largely colored districts, white men in
abundance would be f.und, willing to con
sult the interests of their block a* well at
white constituents, as readily, as, heretofore,
Americans have protected the rights of Ger
mbus or Irishmen, and men of auburn hair 1
have represented the wishes, in order to ob
tain the votes, cf black haired men. But
suppose the white population of a single
county be reduced to one hundred white men,
or to five, or even to none at all, should this
handful elect a member cf the Legislature,
or should the district go unrepresented while
thirty thousand colored citizens arc excluded
from voting? This would introduce the
worst form of rotten boroughs into our repre
sentative sysUm. The above figures show how
rotten any system of representation, must bs
which bases suffrage on color alone. The; also
slow bow great a power belongs to the black
population, if representation be based on
numbers alone. Toe evils incident to
both plans are avoided by basing it on intel
ligence. If only those voters, whether black
or white, who can read and write, we. e pa*-
milted to vole, In none of the States above
mentioned, wculd the negroes have at pres
’ ent tbe majority. Yet in all of them their
vo' e would be sufficiently Important to in
sure them protection in all their rights-
While political powerw-uld beaatho.-ongUy
vested In tbe hands of white men as it now
Is, it would be in the Lands of that cbsS of
white men wbfi would sympathize with eman
cipation and with the Federal Government.
At present the reverse is li ue.
If, however, this moderate, just and rea
sonable bas’s of limited colored suffrage be
denied, it is not impossible that the contest
may assume such proportions that noth Ins
short of universal suffrage will be acceptable
to the country. With absolute universal suf
frage, it is certain that in important districts
of the South the colored vote would have a
local political power almost as complete as
that oT Itclr late masters. With these facts
in view, the South will do well to grant lim
ited negro suffrage without strife, as the
surest alternative lo the universal colored
suffrage which must result from any protract
ed attempt to exclude forever four millions
of citizens of the United States from the bal
lot box.

Canada about the course to be pursued." Ac.
—Toronto Vtovc. -
The Globe proceeds to Bay that the “Cana
dians arc loving subjects o! her Majesty, and
by the blessing of God they intend to live
and die under the protection of the British
Ciown,” &c.
And while they feel in this royal mood,
why should they not be treated by this Gov
ernment as “ loving subjects of her most
gracious Majesty f 1 ’ Ko body on this side of
the line, as the Globe felsdy insinuates, pro
poses “ non-intercourse.” We all want to
trade with Canada on the terms accorded to
the ** most favored nation.” We have two
ndes of commercial intercourse, one exists
between the thirty-six States and ten Terri
toriesof the American Bcpnbllc, and Is regu
lated by an instrument known as the “ Con.
aUlnlUm,” which establishes perfect and per*
pelnal reciprocity and Croc trade between
those States and Territories.
The o‘.hcr kind of trade relation! apply to
all Suits outride of the American Union,
and arc rrgnUtcd by treaties with those
“outrider*.” We . hard sich. a , trade
treaty with Great Britain, and similar ones
with France, Spain, Kutflia and other pow
ers. The Canadians, while claiming to be
foulgncrs and aliens to ns, have no right to
expect any better or different terms of com
mciciol intcrconrse than thisß*. public accords
to the “ meet favored nations.”
We shall insist that Canada ehaß be placed
on precisely a* good a footing as the nation
she belongs to. Let one rule of trade apply
to the whole British Empire. Let the colo
nies and “ mother country,” who:-e subjects
they arc, have the same privilege of entering
onr ports with their products. The same
tariff and restrictions and privJeges should
apply to ell British subjects.
The American people are willing, however,
.to give the Canadians perfect reciprocity and
free trade on exactly the same terms they
possess it themselves. Wc can’t afford to
make a third kind of trade rales for the sake
of “ Her Mcjeety’s most royal Canadian sub
jec*s,” allowing them to erjoy all the bene
fits of free commercial Intercourse with this
mighty Republic, and at the same time
escape all its buidajs. No, that is asking a
little too much. We have been good natured
aid foolish enough to try. that experiment to
please our neighbors for some time past, and
find that It don’t work well. We were assur
ed a dozen years ago that If we gave the Can
adians the privilege of selling all their pro
ducts is our markets free of doty, and at the
same lime allow ng them to tax onr manufac
tures as much os they pleased, it would
tickle them so hugely that before the explta
tlon of the treaty they would apply for ad
mission Into the Union. Now, here Is the
effect It has produced, as declared by the
Toronto Globed
“ TLerr i« no Aarcxa' ion party Jn Canada Not
a ting'e cun, bailee Ildar nec cnouehto accome
r-< ve cf a tcwsflup, d a:* pnbhriy to avow bun
erlf sc annexationist.**
If that Is the way “Reciprocity” works, It
is high time the treaty wete abrogated; and
jucghgbytbe feeling evinced towards this
country during onr straggle with the rebels,
wc presume that the Globe describes with
substantial accuracy, the anti annexation
♦cntiuieiit of the “governing classes” of
Canada. TYe repel the charge of the Globe
that it is cither “mean cr foolish” on the
pait of the Americans to terminate the
treaty, and deny that them is any intention
to tet up “nou-mterccnrsr.” It is onr fixed
purjiOfee to trade with them on the fooling
of the “most favored nations.” As they are
“subjects” of a foreign government, this is
the Lett they have any right to expect at our
Lords. If the Canadians want to enjoy the
privileges and pjofita of membership in the
great American family they must Join it. If
they decline the condition, they can Lave the
othrr thing.

last, with all, and more than all the edaS
which I had predicted for It. Never, perhaps,
since the event Itself, which was commemo
rated, took place, has snch a numerous and
brilliant assemblage of Americans met to
gether In a foreign land, animated with snch
truly patriotic feelings, and under dreum
stances so well calculated to ronse the no
th nal enthusiasm. Upwards of GOO ladles
and gentlemen responded to the prlncelyhos
piiali'.y offered them by the Minister of the
United Slates, and congregated in the beau
tiiul grounds of the Tre-Catalan, In the Bols
de Boulogne, to do honor to the occasion. The
entertainment was given entirely at
the expense of Mr. Bigelow, ; although that
gentleman, with a delicacy and refinement,'
and a sice official tact which do equal credit
to his feelir ga both as a man and diplomatist,
placed the entire arrangement of the festlvi
ilvi’.ies in the hands ol a committee. Hiv
ing in fact ascertained in what manner the
day could be observed most agreeably and
satisfactorily for hia country peop e, Mr.
B'gclow claimed as his official privilege the
onerous obligation of playing the host, and
no remonstrances could induce Him to depart
from this ptscrens resolution. The commit
tee, therefore, which consisted of Messrs.
Beckwith, Munrce, Emmett, Evans, M.D.
Phalon, Tucker, R. M. Mason, Van Bergen
and R-chaids, had nothing lor it bat
to submit, and : set about the pleas

could the result which crowned their labors
have possibly nroved more successful. The
weather was ol’tbe very finest Parisian quali

inspiring than the sight of the locality chosen
for the festival, when the company begau to
arrive at it about 10 o'clock. The national
colors Healing in Ibe breeze on every side,
told at a glance into what hands the beauti

it will add much to the prosperity of the I

settle and adjust the conflicting claims of

CURIOUS FLYING EXPERIMENT.
NICOIXVT HoUtB, I
SfnomAroLis, ilinn , Ja'y 2L )
Editors Chicago Tribune:
1 reached this city on Tuesday, IStb last.*
after a month’s tour In Northern Minnesota.
At another time I should bs gird to give
your readers an account of various interest
ing incidents of my trip; hut, to-day, it has
been my good fortune to witness a scientific
triumph so strange and startling that It
leaves me no thought for anything beside. V
will try to describe the occurrence as briefly
as possible.
On the evening of my arrival, while calling
upon Capt. Stephen A. Cobb, an old friend
of mine, late of the United Scales volunteer,
cavalry, he chanced to mention a remarkable
person residing here who has been long en
deavoring to invent a practical art of flying.
a a'T V.iilvn * atrong cariosity to meet odd and
ex trsoi denary characters, I beuged my friend
for an introduction. He assented, aad inn
few minutes we were at the residence of the
gentleman in question. Hia name Is David
K. Smith, and, ior three years pas’, he has
kept a ding score on Bridge itrcct, near First
sucet, in this city. He is an Eastern man by
birth; his father. Rev. Anson 6. Smith, be
ing pastor of the First Congregational So
ciety in Pittsfield, Mass. Mr. Smith received
ns cum teonsly, and wc were soon engaged la
an animated conversation. He spoke with
out reserve of bis efforts and experiments.
Many of the latter were remarkably curious
and Interesting. Mr. Smith is a practical
chemist and mechanician, and a mau of edu
cation and lefintment. He is about thirty
jetrs of age. and unmarried; in person ho
is below medium elz-*, hia weight beiag only
110 pounds. His features have the paleness
•which tells cfhabilUil study ; but the hol
low eye std stooplcg form which usually
accompany it a*e absent. Oa the contrary,
bis eye was bright, and bo informed me that
by caieiui gymnastic training he had
succgthind his musialar system to an unu
raal degree. I waa strongly impressed by
bis pcoa sense, and evident sincerity. “My
frhndsaud neighbors,” said he, “speak of
inj project as * Smith’s Folly.* Meanwhile
I keep mv shop acd my shop hoops me; my
leisure bums arc devoted to the solution of
this problem. I consider it certain that It
w’ll one day be solved. Most inventors have
atendmed it as impracticable, but they have
only examined the subject superficially. Dr.
Laidncr pubfisbid a treatise to prove that
steamships could not cross the ocean; before
the treatise was la pc?s a.steams’aip had
crossed. Many scientific men laugh at the
Idea of fly-ng; but there are more things in
heaven and earth than arc dreamed of in
their philosophy. We know little ns jet of
;ho secictb watch He hid iu the aicana of na
ture. Take fvr instance the subject ol elec
irc.tj. The tucs of this agent arc Infinite,
and us force almost iLcalcu-üblc. Men have
studied It for a centuty, ami are not yet
agitedevenwlmlltis. Oar knowledge ol it
consuls 01 aicwfoitunale guesses.”
Tbe evening rapdij passed, and when wc
arose to depart I was gi trifled by auiurtta
t:on ft cm Mr. Smith to call again. I did so
the mxt day, and found him In his gyinna
fclum, which is in tbe rear of his slo;e.
tett for exercise, his form much resembles
ti at ol Bloudm ; but bU broad lorehtad and
inUlkctu&l eye a e features which Inc hrencn
men cannot emulate.' Adjoining tco gymna
sium is u Üboiatorv, ana beyond it u small
libiory, well stocked with s.-icorific works.
Auicnc than I noticed a few old and canons
tica'iJSt s upta the ait of flying, including that
of Filar Bacon and the Frodrotno of
Falber Francisco Lana. “Tnose wor
thy fellows saw through a glass
darkly,” said ilr, Smith, observing me
looking at the books, “ bat even the record
of thexr errors Is instructive. They were
hampered by imperfect knowledge, and
groped blindly; yet they were men of strong
inteiUct, ana incir works contain many
shrewd hints by which we may profit.” Re
suming his ordinary dress, Mr. Smith soon
jolted me In the library. “Men hare hastily
concluded ” said he, “because we lack the
prdßlctous muscular lorce which is given to
the buds, that wo cinnat sustan ourselves
In their element. But If we obtain the force
it dees not matter whether It bs natural or
artificial- The mechanical appliances arc
tcij simple; the only difficulty ib »o set them
In motion. For tblf, of course, steam power,
or any other requiting fad, is eatirely inade
quate. Sudi may possibly suffice In avonau
lies, which is the art of sailing in the air;
but cannot assist us in what may be called
swimming through tne air. It is uccesiary,
therefore, to discover a very different motive
power fromsny now in use.”
In discussions like these upon ms favorite
topic, an Lour soon passed. 1 bad become
much interested in the man, and in his pro
ject, visionary though it seemed, and 1 called
upon him the following day and the next.
On Saturday he infoimcd me that ho was
about to make an actual experiment in fly
toe. “ The apparatus has long been ready,
said be, “and I have partially succeeded in
seeming the requisite motive power. I can
not, indeed, make a rapid flight, bat I shall
be able to sustain myself, and to advance
slowly.” I eagerly questioned him in regard
to his Invention, bit he checked mo by ob
ecivitgihaiil was a secret he aid not care
to disclose. “Yon shall, however." said he,
“ witness its practical operation;” and then
added, “ One deltct I have not yclovercome,
namely, the inability to rise. But there will
be no difficulty m dt sccmling from the lotti
cst elevation.” “Aye, there’s the rub,” I
remarked, playfully.
“/brhw de*cen»ui acemi ttd rtxocare tjraawn,
liiz Idor, hoeopvKtt." , . .
“Snce you have cited one quotation,” he
replltd with seriousness. “1 will give yon
SRoiher, which la quite as mach to the point,
* yUiQ wnul invtntum «f it perfectum which,
freely translated, means that no Invention is
pu-;ccUd at once. If one can remain sus
pended. or even descend safely, a great point
has been gained.” In this 1 readily acqui
esced, and when Mr. Smith in’omird me mat
he expected to try his experiment on Mon
day (.o-day,).l was on the Up-toe of expec
tion. Ha requested mrtosay nothing ol his
intention, as he did not wish to be impeded
hi .croud of Raping Idlers. Ue taunted,
however, to my request that Capt. Cobb
should be of the party. ....
This morning at eleven o’clock, the hour
appointed, wo were piomptly at Mr. Smith a
sicxe and found him lea-Jj to start. At Uie
dcor there stood two teams and wagons, one
of which contained what X supposed to be a
canvas tent, with poles, &c. In the other we
took onr seals. Tha party consisted of Mr.
Smith and hi« clerk James McLennan. Lap;.
Cobb and mvdclt, PaUlvk RUev and Andrew
Word, the dr.vers; tlx In all. Mr. Smith was
enveloped in a large linen duster, which quite.
concealed his person. During the
ride he appeared rather serious
and taciturn. In two h° ur * w<|
reached a point about twelve miles west of
tbe city, and there stopped. The country
was a rolling pialrie, wholly uocuUlvatcd,
and with no traveled road for several miles on
cither side.. The canvas, &e., wjs taken oat
and spread upon the ground, and 1 found to
my amazement that instead of a tent it was
an UmaenEe kite, made of sail cloth, with a
strong jointed frame. It was of the kind
known as the “house kite," hexagon in form;
and when put together was twenty-five feet
In length, thus containing an area of oyer oW
square feet. Itscoid was about the thick
ne*s of my lllUe finger, but of great streng h,
having been manufactured to order, ina
taU ti the kite was merely a lighl ropelid
der. Mr. Smith now threw off bis linen
duster, and I could scarcely avoid laughing
at his extraordinary appearance. Bcnealu
bßarm pits, and extending around hU b-xiy,
Ibtrs was a copper cylinder, a foot wide
from top to bottom ana about two feet In di
ameter. Hl* ordinary clothing had been re
placed by a Ught fitting suit of
nbbed cloih, made apparently all in
one piece. Attached to bis arms
and bedy wero a pair of webbed wings of
sirens material with a light framework of
steel. TV ben at rest, these wings (if I may
so call them) hung loctely about him like a (
closed uxxibielU; but when his arms were
raised they became extended and gave him
an edd resemblance to the ‘ Green Monster”
In the pantomime. Scores of ordinary blad
ders were fastened to the suit above men
riontd, and equally in every part. Some
were placed close to the body, and others de
pended at various lengths, from one to three
fret. From the mouth of each a hollow,
flexible lube communicated with the cylin
der. These, If extended, would consequently
form a ctl-work cf air tubes. I made these
observations hastily, for Mr. Smith at one®
placed himself upon the rope ladder and re
quested that the site, which had been setup
on a slight elevation, should be raised. The
Captain and mysslf called out together that
he had forgotten his paiachnte; bathe re
plied impatiently that h« did not need it.
We declared, however, that we would
not permit so fool-hardy an experiment
unless this precaution were taken, and after
a little parley he consented. A steady
biecze was n*w blowing from the southeast.
RUiy and Ward took their place in the
wasen beside the coil of rope; McLennan
acted as driver, while CapL Cobb and I re
mained on the ground ts spectators. The
horses were started Into a gallop, and the
kite rose, slowly and heavily, but steadily
upwards. I glanced at my watch; it was
twenty minutes p-st two o’clock. The kite
cc-ntlnnsd to rise, with a slight swaying
motion, higher and higher. It seemed as
though the daring rcronaut must become
sick and dizy at bis lofty height. Suddenly
I was startled by an exclamation from my
companion, and noticed a dark object falling
from the kite and fluttering slowly down
wards. It was the parachute which Smith
had thrown away! The persons In the
wagon, which was now half a mile distant,
did not teem to notice this occurrence.
Obvicnelr Smith’s situation, If his invention
should tail, bad become one of appalling
danger; since it is almost impossible to
brine a kite to the ground without a vio
lent and Jerking lateral motion. It
eetmed equally perilous to stop or to p«h
csed Trembling with anxiety, we watched
with straning eyes, his fast receding form. I
had an excellent field glass, which gave me a
ueifect view of his every morion. And now
we noted that both the bladders and the
win n s bad begun to expand. Htgherhe rose,
but we could detect In his attitude no sign „
of doubt or trepidation. The bladders soon
became distended eoas to almost hide the man
♦Win view He bad now reached an cleva
gSSrSttTM I could judge, of 1 300 to
i cnA feet or about a quarter or a mile. Me
now detached his anSsfrom the ladder, bis
feet remaining upon It, Mi'Jggg 8

For an instant be stood thus, and men. re

with Great swiftness, and be floated
In a horizontal position, withwpparent
Acaln, I glanced at my wa*ch. The hand
pointed to twenty-seven minutes before
three. The kite, deprived of its ballast, bad
sunk to the ground. Wsicbmg narrowly, it
was evident that Mr. Snith was Mowly
log forward. It apptired to me that the
bladder slightly contracted and exploded al
ternately, as one’s chest does in breathing.
Of this I could not feel absolutely certain,
sinco the appearance may hare resulted from
their flattering motion; yet, the Captain’s
opinion coincided with my own. After a few
minutes, (which seemed like hours, ) we per
ceived that Mr. Smith had begun to descend.
Very gradually this was accomplished, and
exactly at a quarter before three he touched
the ground. We ran towardhlm.and found
that he was considerably exhausted. He re
sponded cheerily, however, to our hearty
congratulations. As the wagon had already
rclnrnrd, it did not take long to stow away
the kilo ,d;c., and we then returned to the
city.
Ihave thus given s plain nod exact ac
count of this most extraordinary occurrence.
I will not offer acy speculations concerning
the nature of Mr. Smith’s Invention, and, In
fact, do not consider myself at liberty to do
so But, lam greatly mistaken If the name
of David K. Smith is not soon familiar to the
public as one of its greatest benefactors.

HORSE STEALING AND HORSE INSURANCE.
Dccatub, lIL, July 24,15C5.
Editors Chicago Tribane:
1 notice by jour piper of the 19th and 23d,
this subject is under discussion, and I have
concluded to say a word about it. The evil
is truly a great one, as intimated by your
communication from Washington. Bat the
remedy suggested by ycur correspondent of
Onarga, cannot be made general on the secret
society arrangement. It has not only been
tried and tailed, but near cne-holf of our
best citizens object to all secret organize
Uoijß frem principle. The best remedy I
have heard of is no? in successful operation,
v.'z: The Great Western Horse Insurance
Company. Home oflicc at this town, Deca
tur, 111. Aa lam not interested in Its gains
it losses, I con at least claim disinterested
ness In saying what Ido about it. They
claim to have Inaugurated a th trough system
of horse-thief detection, by hating one or
more acents and detectives in every connty
in the State, whose business it is, not only to
tike applications for insurance, but to be
over on the ulert for tbo detection of thieves.
Nctr this organization has but one fountain
lu fid ct set of (instead of hundreds,
as suggested by Onargu,) has the command
of three or four hundred muu excited to in
tense activity by telegram frem fountain
bead, asoccoficn requite.*. It Is their busi
ness to catch stolen horses acd thieves. It
is true that it costs a few dollars to have our
I roportv protected by this company, but not
more than by the plan suggested by Onargo,
with afar belter security.
Now, as it is not my intention of writing
an ad vertisement fur this insurance com pany.
I will sav no more on that point, and nave
wcndcrodwbyldldnot see iheir advertise
mint in your widely circulated paper, but to
jour correspondents of Washington and
Onaxgo, that I believe this organization rc
ctnlly put in operation at oar place, will
accomplish all they desire in the premises,
will cost loss money and be more effective
than any to ay knowledge. Sanoamo.

TRE WELSH AND TUB IRISH IN THE WAR
StUßoa, Wls., JnIySM&A
Editcrs Chicago Trlboao t
In your weekly issue of July 13th, X noticed
a Utter fiom H. O.ißowlands, entitled, “tho
Wi-lih nation in America,and In the war,” in
which that gentleman makes, to say the least,
some ceriousj assertions. He highly extols
the patriotism of the Welsh, and then their
self-denial! “Iheyweronot selfish enough to
make an tflort to form a brigade or a regi
ment at the beginning of the war.” Certain
ly not. While the Irish were selfish enough
to form themselves into regiments, brigades
and divisions, and tight lor their adopted
count* y. Would it nos be better for bim to
let the Welsh still cxerciso tho virtuous
practice of self-denial, than to rouse their
selfish propensities now, when the war is
over, lie charges that tho Irish, as a na
tion, are “Bccesh.” I deny the charge. It
Is true, we are cursed with a Mitchal and
some more of that stamp. Bui that we have
any more “Coin” or “scccsU” in proportion
to our numbert in the country, than there arc
of Americans cf tbe same type lu the North
ern States, or uf Welsh, If they were not so
very “anselflslf ’ as not to take part on cither
s'de, I deny. I would advise the gentleman
before he tries to bit tho Irishman again, to
study the history of the war, If not 100 “an
ee’ilth” to do ao.
Hoping that you will give this note a place
In your paper,l remain,

ANOTHER LETTER OJi THE SAME SUB
JECT.
jlocst PjjulSjUlt. Racine Co., wu., »
July 17,1305. f
Bftlion Cltlcigo Tribune:
Id jour sots to a letter written by an Irish
man, In Monday’s Tribckii, you state that
not more than 50,000 Irishmen enlisted In the
Federal armies. I think that yon underrate
the amount very much, and In doing bo do a
great h-justlce to a people whose descendants
may yetcontrol the future destinies of the
Republic. The city and State of New York
alone sent fully 50,000 Irishmen to the war.
The brigades of Sickles. Corcoran and
Meagher absorbed at least 15,000 men, more
than nicety per emt of whom were burn on
Iri 4 h ground. TheSTih New York (Irish Ri
fles), known as “Get. Kearney’s pets.” be
eldes the largest poivon of the regiment
known as “ Scott’s Lifeguards,” were com
posed of Irishman. Indcti, fully half of the
men who enlisted from New York city and
Brooklyn were cither Irishmen or tlu sons of
Irishmen: and in stating that *IO,OOO of that
race left the State ol New York ftrthe Union
army, 1 am, 1 feel certain, under the real
amount. Then, sirs, look at Pennsylvania.
The Irish of that State sent Are regtacuts,
beside the numbers they contribute* to
oihtr organizations; and I think the most
patriotic Governor this day in the North Is
one Curtin, who happens to be very clotaly
allied to the Irish race. And when I Slav*
that Generals Geary and Owens, one of whom
is Irish born and the other of Irish parents,
bom in America, are good and - true men, I
am sure yon will not question my statement.
Then, 6lr, lake “ the old Bay State,” a
State 1 honor os much as If I was a descend
ant of a Pilgrim myself. Massachusetts will
never forget the glories of her ninth regiment.
Bull Run Russell said it was the finest regi
ment of infantry that crossed chain
bridge. 1 need not tell you,
sir, * how the 9th fought, or that
their coble Colonel (Cass) died irom wounds
received in the defense of his adopted coun
try. The 2Slh Massachusetts was Irish, and
also one or two of the companies of the oth.
More than fire thousand Irishmen left the
Bay State for the armies of their adopted
country, and I have yet to learn that they
have in any battle proved false or cowardly.
New Hampshire had her Irish regiment, so
had the States of Rhode Island, Maine and
Connecticut. When Gov. Sprague took com
mand ol his brigade, he at once appointed a
Catholic Chaplain, because of the large num
ber of Irishmen In his command. 1 have no
hesitation In declaring that the States of New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the
New England States supplied to the Union
armies one hundred thousand men of pure
Iriib blood.
The Irish race in the West have not been
behind in their duty to the Republic. I think
two Irish regiments were raised in Chicago,
one of which has earned for itself, under the
lamanted Mulligan, a national renown.
There are few regiments from Illinois
that the Irish race is not well
represented in, and I think the
brave Msj. Gen. Eagan, is an honor to his
adopted Stale. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Michigan, Minnesota. lowa and Wisconsin,
all havebad their Irish regiments. The Ad
jutant General of the latter State, has told
me that near four thousand Irishmen went
to the war from Wisconsin. I believe with
yon, rir, that the correspondent signed “an
Irishman,” overrated the number of Irish
men that were in the Union army, hut If he
stated thatover 150,000 and less than 200,000
of his race went to do battle for the Republic,
I think he would he stating the honest truth.
Mr. Rowlands’attack on the Irish people,
was uncalled lor and unmerited. He writes
like a tine Welshman. I never yet met a
Welshman who did not think that the Welsh
people were the greatest in the world. I
have, as neighbors, a number of Welshmen,
most of whom I esteem very much, but they
*are the most conceited people In America.
Mr. Howlands speaks of nine thousand Repub
lican Welsh votes in Wisconsin. I would like
to know where these nine thousand men were
during the last lour years. Wo have not
beanfof them In the army ofthe State. Tbdy
tried to fill one company in this county, but
failtd to do so. He also speaks of seventy
thousand Welsh Republican votes in the
United States. I again ask, where were those
seventy thousand “true men” during the
years of the war! I have not hea*d of
any Welsh regiments, and I am certain
there has been none. I suppose the slxty
ote thousand Cambrians outedo the State of
Wisconsin acted like their co-patriots within
the Slate, thinking “prudence the better
part of valor.” , , ,
*lhe Welsh are brave people and make the

did volunteer, fought as well as other Amer
ican soldiers, and my Welsh friends must not
be offended when I say no better. Mr. Raw
lands speaks of generals and statesmen of
Welsh extraction, but forgets to write down
the biggest traitor since the days of Glen-
dower, namely—Jefferson Davis. Ton state
that the Protestant Irish and Fenians were
the only portion of the 'lrish people that
were truly patriotic since the issuing of the
President’s Emancipation Proclamation.
Such, sir, is not so. The Protestant Irish,
with fow exceptions, are so much attached to
England that they looked on daring the
s’rnggie with the earns feelings as the major
ityoiEnglishmen residing in this country
di*. The Fenians, who are all Catholics, gave
only one regiment, raised in. New York, bat
until recently they were not in a position to
do much. The Irish people though, as a
whole, did their duty during the past four
years, and some of the best men that this
war has brought out before the country, are
men of Irish blood. A Subscriber.

Editors ChlCJffo Tribune:
You are supposed to sec as far In to the mll
millstone as the *ncxt man. Can you
tell me why regiments arc not always mas.
tend oat with some regard to the date of
enlistment, as well as sometimes. For ex
ample, why are the OCth and 9Sth mustered
out, while the 07th, a fighting regiment; is
s till in the “ gall of bitterness,” if not in the
“bonds of iniquity.” Is it because the ofH;ers
are not yet tired of their pay, or because they
biTcn’t influential friends in the right quar
ter! Any baht on the question will be
gratefully rectlTed,

A Hyperborean Oil Fever*
The Bau Francisco Bu&tUn hears from the
far North, by the steamer Shubrich, which
bod visited that locality on business con
nected with telegraphic communication be
tween Russia and America, that at Fort
Simpson, in the latter part of April, a novel
oil fever was at its height. Seven hundred
ranees, containing over 3,000 Indians, had
left on the day previous for the oil regions,
end the excitement was ou the Increase.
It seems that a species of fish abound in
that locality, called Ulicau. They arc about
the size of a smelt, and have ranch the same
Appearance. They are considered quite a
delicacy by the epicureans of the North, but
are prized more particularly on ac:ount of
the oil they contain, wh!:h is extracted from
them and shipped to England, where it is
used as a substitute for cod liver oil, or per
haps sold /or the genuine article.
lire most remarkable feature of these fish
is this: When they are dried they can be
lighted or set on fire, and will bum like a
candle, producing a clear and beautiful light,
equal to kerosene. The idea of lighting up
out’s house with fishes, their heads sticking
Into an appropriately constructed candle
stick, with ibtir tails blazing In the air, Is a
novelty left for the people of the present age
to cany into execution. These fish are re
markably plentiml In the Sieckln river, and
should tnej be Introduced into this market
in largo quantities, it might necessitate a
change iu the rendering of l)r. Watts’ bymn,
as follows:
“ Whl’e thc/»ft holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return. 11
Then, again, they might bo substituted for
cod liver cil (as their cil really is in Engl and),
and eaten medicinally. Invalids might carry
a few dritd fish In their pocke’s, ond when
tiny noticed by the watch borrowed for the
purpose that It was time to take their medi*
cine, might draw forth a fish and take it as
one would a stick of cough candy.

Sterling Price’* Adjutant Killed.
[From tbe St LonU Republican, 25th.)
We learn that A. L. McLean, formerly of
LalWycttu county, Mo., was killed at Wash
ington, Texas, a short time since, by Col.
Robert Weed, son of Milton Wood, of Saline
county. McLtan was Sterling Price’s Adjut
ant General from the outbreak of the rebel
lion. In 1801, and, it Is said, was relied upon
by the General as a chief counselor and di
rector in business matters. He was a Scotch
man by blrlh, of good education, clearing and
courteous manners, and was credited by those
who knew him with the possession of un
doubted courage and skill osanolllcer. The
circumstance 01 his violent death grew ont of
the appU:atlou of Wood for a furlough, which
wss not granted, as lie supposed, on account
ol the objections oi MvLtou. Meeting shortly
after In a saloon, an altercation sprung up
between the two, when Wood shot McLean
and killed him.

Here the parties turned from each other, and
hadpcnc but a few steps when Bright, stop

Accompanying the words he drew a revolver
and shot the doctor, the ball striking him In

Nashville, July 23.—Smith and Camp
bell, candidates for Congress in this district,
addressed their fellow citizens at Nashville,
on Saturday. Campbell took grounds against
the franchise law, but used milder language
than In former harangues. He favored the
colonization of the negroes; opposed the
blacks going to school or sitting in church
with whiles. The negroes should be made
to know their places, or they will cause
much discord and turmoil If not restrained.
Horace Maynard, from Washington, deliv
ered a two hours’ speech Saturday night,
and ably reviewed the former and present
condition cf Tennessee. He spoke pla'nly,
picturing the past outrages of treason—how
mothers taught their childpen to spit at
Gov. Johnson, and tiu women d-d the same
th ng. He asked, “ what cla'm have you on
government? Are you fit subjects lor Exec
utive clemency ?” lie Indorsed the franchise
act. Future security demanded it. Without
it the Congressional elections would be a
farce. He aid not think a majority of the-
American people were determined to estab
lish negro suffrage. Btft continued hostili
ties to the Government would make the
m.arore sure. If efforts to reclaim the rebel
lioiA population fail, tbe negroes will have
the emotive franchise. He counseled obe
dience to the laws. It was a telling speech,
and much applauded.
“Beastiv* Ixtoxicatiox. —Tbe most re
markable case of intoxication we ever heard
of, is related bj the Troy Tima. About a
month ago, an r, licit whisky cistlllery was in
lull blast on Gictn Island, near Troy. One
night—it was a “still” night—the man run
ning the machine haa made eighteen gallons
of whisky, and put it out in the open air to
cool. Along came cow. She was tntaty,
and the beverage looked Inviting. She swai.
lowed every drop—eighteen gallons of unrec*
tided whisky, warranted to kill at forty rods.
The cow has been drank ever since. She
staggered home, and Is now In the fourth
week of a grand old bender. The cow eats
nothing, falls down whenever they try to
raise her up, and has become as lean asacrow
Instead of a cow. This cow, besides, had a
young cslf, whose strange behavior first led
to the discovery of the state of the mother
cow. It reeled round and round, and lifting
three legs and a tall in tbe air, actually spun
on the fourth leg.
Beep Cattleix McLeax Couxtt.— Almost
everybody Is familiar with the bard luck of
cattle buyers and feeders lor eight months
past. These men are of as much use to the
public at large as grain buyers, and, like
them, have suffered terribly by the fall in the
mice of farm products since last December.
Those who purchased cattle last fall, and
bought corn to feed with, have lost heavily.
Some of ourlargeet and best dealers have be
ccme almost rained. Those who have es
caped by losing simply what they made lost
year think themselves well off. We have
beard of several dealers who will lose from
SIO,OOO to $30,000 each. They have done so
much to keep up the well-deserved reputa
tion of McLean for good beef cattle that
they are entitled to tbe sympathy of all
classes of the community. Tne present
price of cattle Is not so high that there Is no
lurther danger of less to dealers.— Blooming

The weather to-day has been disagreeable and
rilcy, sed very onlaToriWe for the harvest, now
in progress throughout the Northwest. In the
latter part of the afternoon, the tain ceased, and
there was some prospect of good weather; but
this was the case lest night, and to-day there was
a complete change.
It la not to he concealed that much anxiety is
felt with regard to the ftte of the crops, on ac
count of the recent heavy rains; but thus far the
accounts are more favorable than could have been
expected.
The unfavorable weather to-day. rendered the
Produce market active and buoyant. Flour ad

The money market to day was unusually brisk
and close. Owing to the eager demand
for groin—particularly wheat—the inquiry for
currency • was parlcnlarly actire, and the
banks la numerous instances had to reject good
comes on account of the supply running short.
This was ao apparent to one or two banks in the
early part of the day, that currency was telegraph*

more life to-day In consequence ot a faw Pittsburgh

Inanities for stock Cattle, batthelrrlews were greatly
