§ailj Jtrantift Journal AUGUSTA. MONDAY MORNING. April *0. 1874. CURRENCY AND PAR TIMS. The vole In Congress upon the currency queetion creates speculation as to the ef fect which financial issues will have upon existing political parties. It is observed that no attention is paid to parly lines by members voting on the subject, and that division upon it is geographical and sec tional. An analysis of the House vote on the Senate currency bill shows the follow ing fact!: In favor of the bill, 103 repub licans, 36 democrats, 1 liberal, total 140; against the bill, 63 republicans, 36 demo crats, 3 liberals, total 102. It is evident at once from these figures that members voted without regard to party considera tions. The republicans gave a larger per centage of their rotes for the bill than the democrats, but the latter were divided ex actly in the middle. Upon examining the vote with regard to locality it is found that of the 140 votes cast for the bill 124 came from States west of the Alleghanics and south of the Potomac, and only 16 from States east and north of those boundaries; while of the 102 against the bill only 34 irera cast by the west and Bouth. In a re-cast of parties then upon the currency question, if such were to occur, the division would be geographical and sectional, a form of things political which is objectionable to all prudent and far-see ing men. Issues and parties based upon sectional lines will therefore be avoided if possible. Again, will the west and south dare to take the field under the banner of virtual repudiation, of national dishonor, which they mast as the advocates and defenders of more inconvertible paper. It will be very doubtful indeed if a single Slate in the Union has the audacity to place itself up on raoh ground. Besides the dishonor which inch a party would incur as the party of repudiation, the precedents for such a course are far from encouraging in the way of success with the people. The prospect is that the party would be badly beaten as well as disgraced by its princi ples. The people of the country are hon ester than those who clamor for more cur rency. It has been tried and proved in former elections that they desire govern ment to pay its debts, to fulfill its contracts, to redeem its notes according to promise. They do not like the sound of repudiation in any shape, are strenuously opposed to carrying even the faintest odor of it upon their garments, and no patty can stand before them pledged to dishonesty. There is no probability therefore that lie currency question will be made an issue between parties. Neither of the present parties will favor the issue of un limited currency, both will oppose it and favor a return to specie payments. Those congreseional districts which desire more paper will send paper advocates to Con gress, but no effort will be made to organ ize a national party upon the basis of re pudiation. Parties will stand upon other issues. The vote in Congress upon the currency bill shows that party lines are not potential upon that matter in the pres ent Congress, bat it does not indicate that new parties are probable with finance as the leading issue. VICARIOUS CHARITY. Ths refusal of Miss Charlotte Cushman to fire when invited a gratuitous repre sentation for the poor of a certain city, sho alleging that she gave yearly some two thousand dollars in charity, and that the representation would be a one sided affair as between her and the individuals ot which her audience would be composed, sinco she would give some four or lire hundred dollars while they would give but a dollar Apiece, has called ont some com ments from the press about the fondness of some people for bestowing charity vi cariously by suggesting and allowing somebody else to do the work or pay the money. Country doctors are a class who do an enormous amount of unpaid, un known and unrecognized work. They give more time and labor, and sacrifice more comfort and health without return, even in thanks, than almost any other class of people. Newspapers have done, and still do an amount of free advertising for charitable and kindred purposes, which is seldom considered, and still less often gratefully remembered. “Every one thinks,” says the Springfield Republican, “his private concerns something worthy of ths editor's absorbed study and prompt publication. The sweet unconsciousness with which persons daily present their special axes to grind would be exquisite if it wore not so vexations. In the matter of public charity the remark Is peculiarly apropos. Probably a chief reason why the public ask, and are ready to accept without special gratitude or consideration, tka services of these classes, is because they do net fully appreciate the fact that the things they give are their property and merchandise. They would not think, for Instance, of inviting the merchants of a city to club their special lines of goods, and announce a grand jamboree of three hours, during which every cent taken should he distributed to the needy. Yet ths thing is the same in principle, if not, «**•*?"_ TOR LOST STEAMERS. A landsman familiar with the vessels of the French line attributes the loss of the Eo nfeesi Amerique wholly to the unskillful wwk 1* the process of lengthening, which was has at Newcastle, England. They ere originally street and seaworthy, bet were* weaheeed by lengthening. Daring the leri voyage of the Europe, her officers freely SAprwaaed fear* that the Amerique would never reach Havre, ao confident were they that she had been crippled by the bung ling manner in which she had been length, eeed. The officers of the Greece also com merited upon the same defect in the Europe. Mr. Lererett, superintendent of the Morgan Iron Works, which repaired the Amerique's boilers on her arrival here from her first voy age, says the iron of the hull was inferior, and the workmanship decidedly bad. A captain of one of the vessels of the same line, had said te him the Amerique leaked after leaving Newcastle, and all the way trom Havre to this port. Mr. Leverett added “You can fancy the condition of the ship when I tell you a fact that of a large consignment of silk forming part of her cargo, nearly five hundred boxes were destroyed or damaged, and when she got back to Havre on the return voyage, aha had six feet of water in her hold, and the leaking was not confined to any particular part of the vessel. It is the same way with all vessels built at New Castle. Mr. MacKenzie N. Y. agent of the line says the Amerique was not loaded heavier than usual, and must have been by reason of con sumption of coal four hundred tons lighter than on the day of her departure. He had never heard either the captain or office com plain ef the ship making any water during her three trips across the ocean, but on the con trary they had spoken of her as being partic ularly dry. POLITICAL. During the present year eighteen States will elect Governors, thirty-five Congressmen and twenty-five U. S. Senators, besides vacan cies yet to be filled in Louisiana and Massa chusetts. The leading republican members of the na tional House of Representatives are of the opinion, it is said, that the session can be finished by the first of June, while the Sena tors incline to think it will last to the first of July. Members of the Society of Friends in dif ferent States are obtaining signers to petitions to Congress asking that the death penalty for crime in the Territories may be changed to imprisonment at labor for a term of years or for life. The Eastern Railroad having declined to •ell package ticket* to Portsmouth passengers, a number of merchants in that city are moving to have a steamer run between Ports mouth and Boston, carrying freight for Ports mouth and Dover at low rates, and passen gers for fifty cents between Portsmouth and Boston. Ex-Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, who is re turning from a several months’ journey threngh the Southern States, recently said to a Chicago reporter: “I don't know what can be done for the South. Its life is gone. It seems hopelessly ruined. Ooe sees little but waste in the country, empty habitations and stores in the cities, and hears nothing but the refrain, “Debts, debts, debts.’ A night mare broods over the whole South, and the people cannot shake it off." The London Athenssum announces the death on the 18th ult. of Mary Wilson, the sec ond daughter of “Christopher North,’’ and the widow of the late John Thomson Gordon, sheriff of Midlothian. Mrs. Gordon's life of her gifted facher, published in 1862, wen1 through several editions. Few men who wrote so much ever left behind them such scanty material for biography as did Professor Wilson. Mrs. Gordon’s elder sister, the widow of the late Professor Ferrier, survies her. The Grand Trunk Railroad for the six months ending Dec. 81, earned $5,805,985 Tbe net earnings were $867,490. This sum was ample for the payment of obligations to all leased roads, interest on bonds, etc. The increase for the half year was over nine per cent, as compared with the corresponding months of the previous year. The earnings would have been still greater but for the tem porary disorganization caused by a change of guage. The panic also reduced receipts. The working expenses are 65 per cent, of the receipts. For the six months ending Dec. 81st, 150 new locomotives and 800 new cars were among the additions to the road. The Grand Trunk Railroad now has a total invest ment of one hundred and forty-five millions of dollars. The expenditures for steel rails( changing guage, new rolling stock, etc. pre vent any dividend this year. The stock holders are consequently dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction led to Mr. Brydges’resignation. There was to have been a meeting of stock holders on the 9th inst., in London. GENERAL NEWS. The Canadian House of Commons lias voted to expel Riel. Motto of the whiskey crusaders—“The horn of the ungodly shall be put down.” The wife of Marshal Bazaine has become heir to a great fortune in Mexico. The colored people in Washington celebra ted the anniversary of the emancipation proc lamation Thursday. In Quebec now common laborers arc paid only half a dollar for a day of ten hours. The late James Bogardus, the practical scientist and inventor, of New York, was buried Thursday at Greenwood Cemetery. Among tha Americans outward-bound dur ing the coming season are named Dr. McCosh, George S. Boutwell and Henry Ward Beech er. A flower-pot with a promising slip in it is a much more fashionable thing for a lady to carry in the street than a poodle. The defalcation of 1*. P. Henderson, late Treasurer of Warren county, Iowa, amounts to more than 832,000. Rev. Dr. J. G. Bartholomew, a prominent clergyman of the Cniversalist denomination, died in Newaik, New Jersey, Tuesday morn ing. It is said that the New York petitioners for 'a vote of the inflation hill represent 8350,000 000, almost as much us the whole greenback circulation. Och! said a love sick Hibernian, what a recreation it is to he dying of love 1 It seta the heart aching so delicately there’s no tak ing a wink of sleep for the pleasure of the pain. The House Pension Committee has decided with but one dissenting vote, that there was nothing in the charges against Commissioner Baker demanding investigation. A cat at Barnesville, Pa., having been robbed of her kittens went into the woods, and finding a litter of youog foxes carried them heme and has adopted them. Gen. Bptnner, as the result of calculations made at the Treasury Department, says that there will be a contraction of more than seven million dollars effected by the Senate bill. A New York hotel man is negotiating with the heirs of the late John L. Seavey for the purchase of the Elmwood lot in Waterville. 1 It i* proposed to build a hotel that will cost about #80,000 A party of men bare purchased 1G00 ac res of land in Winconsin for the exclusive pur pose of raising muskrats. Last year they captured 4000 of the animals, and anticipate 1 a take of 6000 this year. The skins sell at' thirty cents each. In reference to that Maine man who pre ferred to be a Portland lamp post rather than live in Chicago, the Detroit Free Press ssvs that almost anybody would rather be a three wheeled omnibus than live either in Portland or Chicago. The total gross revenues of Great Britain last year, ending March 31, were £77,335,000; the total gross expenditures, £7G,456,000, ex clusive of the Ashantee war expenses. Esti mated revenue for the currentyear, £77.995,* 000; expenses, £72,503,000. That the Chinese in California are advanc ing rapidly in civilization is shown by the fact that newspapers in that region contain adver tisements in the Chinese character very fre quently. Ah Sin finds out the secrets of the Melican man's success very quickly and uses them. Tom Dollar, an American born negio, so distinguished himself as a scout in the Ashan tee war, for which he volunteered, that Sir Garnet Wolseley means t® secure him a good berth under Government, if possible, lie was wounded in one of the fights, and altogether was a soldier of note. The Itev. Dr. Thomas Carlton, late of the Methodist Book Concern, died at his residence at Elizabeth, N. J.. Thursday morning. lie j had suffered from a complication of diseases. j Ha was treasurer of Elizabeth at the time of his death. He was sixty-six years old. During the reception of Queen Victoria at Bologne, a few years ago, some English ladies in their anxiety to see everything, pressed so closely against a line of soldiers that the lat ter were forced to give way, when the officer in command called out, “One roll of the drum —if they don’t keep back, kiss them all.” After the first sound of the drum the ladies took to flight. “If they'had been French,’’ said a Parisian journal, “they would have re mained to a woman.’’ LOVE’S SONU. Together, my lore and I, sang we; sang to her, she aiingTofme; A little bird in the tree above Took up again our song of love. And cheerily sang we three. Weary and waiting I still sing on; The little bird has long since flown, And 1 think that she in heaven above Takes up again my song of love, As I sing it here alone.—The Graphic. NEW PUBLICATIONS. The March number of the National Quar terly Review, edited by Edward J. Sears, L. L. D., contains several interesting and impor tant articles. Tba opening article is upon the subject of “Corals, Coral Reefs and Islands." It is devoted to the discussion of the question how the large reefs and islands are [formed. The old theory was that they were doe to volcanic formations in the bed of the ocean, but the later theory and that which the writer adopts is that they are occasioned by a gradual subsidence of the land where they are found. The description of some of the coral lagoons and grottoes in the southern seas is beautiful. An article upon Mill and Agassiz, draws a companion between these two great men, in which their leading char acteristics are portrayed and contrasted. A readable article is one entitled “The Acci dents of Sublunary Immortality,” in which many instances are presented to show what a bubble fame is, how little worth striving for, and how many havo it thrust upon them by chance. There are articles upon “Herr Strauss and his Pantheistic System;” the “Glacial Period, its Cause and Influence;” “Institutes, Academies and Seminaries of the Hudson,”—an article which tells hard stories about some of these institutions; and a clos ing article upon “The Salient Characterises of Washington.” We hare examined this number with much pleasure. The April number of The Republic contaius a large amount of useful political matter. The topics presented are such as are now attracting the attention of Congress and political parties. The tone of this periedical is conservative on most questions, and it strives to be candid as well as cautious. An appendix contains the speeches of Mr. McCrary and Mr. Hoar on the Transportation bill.

Had the police known how good a temper ance speech Mr. Pillsbury was going to make at Brunswick Fast Day, perhaps they would not have probed so deeply tbe innocent keg of printer's ink, that came to him for the Standard by express on the morning of that day.

After lie had ex hausted himself in his unbridled language he took his seat. Then Mr. Thurston arose calmly, opened the Bible and rend distinctly from James 1:2G. “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridieth not his tongue, this man’s religion is vain.” Mr. T. then dismissed his audience. The people were greatly pleased, but Bishop was dis comfited.—A'orth Star. Rev. O. F.

Baker, Esq., over Northern National Bank, ho made a misstep at the head of the flight of stairs, and fell to the bottom, cutting bis head and face considerably, and breaking the bone of bis left shoulder, besides otherwise bruising his arms and body. It was an almost miraculous escape from instant death. Mr. Sherburn is seventy-six years of age, and has been tetally blind for the past fifty years, lie is also a very fleshy and heavy man, and was entirely unable to help himself after once losing bis balance. We learn that his recovering from the severe shock, and will probably soon be able to take his accustomed walks along our streets. On the same day another of our cit izens, Mr. Oliver Tapley, fell down some stone steps near his residence on Lincoln street, without sustaining material injury. He is eighty-three years of age, and remark ably smart and active for one so far advanced in life. A horse attached to a wagon came down Winthrop bill with a rush on Saturday after noon, without waiting for a driver.

Hslp others when you can, but never give when vou are not able to, simply be cause k is fashionable. Loam to say “no.” No necessity of snapping out dog-fashion, but say it re spectfully and firmly. Have but few confidants, and the fewer the better. Use your own brain* rather than thoso ef others. AND DR. GRAVES’ HEART REGULATOR WILL DO IT.

Printed from new type, and Illustrated with Several Thousand Engraving** and Maps. Tue woifc originally published under the title of The New American Cyclopedia, was completed in ia«J. .since which time the wide circulation which U hu* attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a uew edition entitled Tub American Cy clopedia. Within the last ton years the progress of discov ery tn every department of knowledge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pare with ihe discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience aud reiiuemer.t of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have o«* curved, involving national changes of peculiar mo ment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ol the old work uppearcd,hub happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity ha-* been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge nave been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result ol the lapse ol time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, aud ol whose lile every one is curious to know the partic ulars. Great battles have been fought and impor tant sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications ot the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. lu preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim or the editors to oring down the information to llie latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent dicccveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest iuvenlions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original iccord of the progress ol political anil historical events* The work nus been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, und w ith the most ample resour ces lor carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with Die same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been sug gested by longer experience and enlarged knowl first time lu Die present edition have been added not for the sake ol pictoral effect, but to give great er lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science an*! of natu ral history, and depict the most famous and re markable features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well a* the various processes ot mechanics and manufactures. Although intended lor instruction rather than embellish incut, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will lind a welcome reception as an admirable feature of Die Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume.
