HL TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2S, 187 L Tgg tates ON CLOTHING. The Pithhnrg Gazette refuses to understand how the tariff on foreign cloths can ho a tax on the clothing of the people, if they us* goods of American manufacture. Comment ing upon a paragraph in this paper, the Gazette says: In the first place the statement la erroneous. Forty millions of people in this country arc not taxed on their clothing, by the tariff, for this would comprise every man; woman and child in the United States, and surely The TiuausE would not maintain that all of these wear imported French broadcloth and fancy silkn. The same paper further insists that, thetas being confined to goods of foreign manufac ture, those who have to pay it, do so “from choice, and in the face of the fact that goods of domestic manufacture arc to bo had for far less money, and of styles far more suit able to our republican notions of simplicity and propriety in dress. The tariff*, therefore on imported clothing, such as flue cloths, poplins and silks, Is a tax on unnecessary luxuries: luxuries which the great mass of our population do not indulge in, and none of whom are compelled to indulge iu.” If the tax on foreign goods does not in crease the cost to consumers of the American made goods, bow is their manufacture ben efited, or promoted} or “protected” by the -tariff? Is not the direct purpose of a pro tective duty to so increase the cost of the foreign article, that the home product may command a higher price f The prices at which domestic cloths are sold are limited only by those at which the imported article can he sold for in this country. Why is there a tax on imported glass, if it bo not to enable the manufacturers to demand more for it than they could obtain without the tax Is not that the beginning and end of protection,—the taxation of the many for -the profit of the few But a few facts Trill sbow practically how this tax on the foreign made goods operates on the consumers of goods suitable to our republican notions of simplicity and propriety in dress.” We give the cost in Europe of a variot}' of articles, •the rate of tax imposed hy the tariff*, and the wholesale prices at which they and American goods of corresponding value and material sell for in New York; TTholesnU Tax, j>cr price in Goods.

Every thing entering into the wearing apparel of men, women and children—everything “suit able to our republican notions of simplicity”— is taxed in the same proportion. It is imma terial whether the goods be imported or pro duced at home, the price to the consumer in cludes the same tax, and the taxes are generally highest ou coarse fabrics, worn by the poorer classes. The workmen of Pittsburgh, pay in addition to the real cost of their clothing and bedding, they may never of for eign manufacture. It is to compel them to pay this tax, to extort from them this bounty for private individuals, that the present tariff* was constructed, and is so desperately maintained. POOH NORTH CAROLINA. The State of North Carolina could hardly be in a worse predicament, financially, if she had invested all her cash and credit in taking fire risks in Chicago previous to our late conflagration. In fact, the time* honored maxim of Franklin, that Three removes 5 are' as had as on© fire.” might he properly varied to suit the case of the Carollnas and other Southern States, and read, Three carpet-hag Legislatures are equivalent to a general conflagration. Gov ernor Caldwell, in his annual message to the North Carolina Legislature, delivered on the 20th instant, embodies a state ment of the State finances which shows them to he in a most deplora ble condition, utterly beyond remedy, ex cept by compromise with the creditors. First there are $10,000,000 of ante-war debt (includ ing interest) and $3,500,000 of Internal Im provement bonds issued since the war, under laws passed before then there are $5,000,- COO of bonds issued to fund accrued interest; $1,500,000 of bonds issued during the war for internal improvements ”;another $1,500,000 in bonds to two railroad companies, under the ordinance of the convention of 18GS; $12,000,000 issued to other railroads (and of which the “Western Division of the West ern North Carolina Railroad Company” got six millions and a half) under subsequent legislative acts: and, finally, $500,000 more of bonds issued still more recently. These last bare, however, been pronounced invalid by the Supreme Court, on account of the unconstitutionality of the act under which .they were issued—in all $34,887,404.45. Of this vast sum of outstanding obliga tions only the ante-war bonds were sold at par. Their validity, and that of the funding bonds ($5,000,000), is undoubted; the others were sold at prices ranging from 10 to GO •cents on the dollar—whatever their forced sale would bring to the railroad speculators or embezzling agents into whose hands they fell. No railroads were built with them, as a general rule, and the only interest-paying securities which the State has to show for the whole $15,000,000 of them is some $300,000 of the stock of the North Carolina Railroad Company, one of the ante-war corporations. Many of thclargcflockof railroad bondswero issued in defiance of an act of the General Assembly ordering the return of the bonds, and giving notice to the world that future Bales would be invalid. Still others woro is sued without the certificate required by law. Confronting such a disgraceful and hope less state of the public financces, Governor Caldwell inquires “Whatistobedono?” He finds the total.property valuation of the State to be.according to the Auditor General’s report,' only $121,000,000, or only three times fhcamonnt of the public debt. In view of this, and the general depression and dissatis faction which prevails, the Gov ernor does not deem it practicable to enforce the tax requisite to pay oven the annual interest upon the debt; much less discharge any part of the principal. Ho therefore recommends a compromise with creditors on such terms as may bo obtained, and a sale ol all tlio stocks of which the fctatc now has possession, for the purpose of realizing as much ready money as possible, aside from that raised hy taxation. Several plans of compromise arc suggested, that which the Governor seems to favor most hemg a funding of all the valid outstanding bonds m 3 per cent bonds, dollar for dollar It is a bad scrape at best, and the outlook is dismal, cither Cor the taxpayers or the bona fide creditors. It seems to be well established, by the sore experience of the Carollnas, that wholesale robbery and swindling of the kind which produced this state of affairs are not, as a rule, wholesome: and it is a great pity that, if the Federal Government is os com pletely the guardian and censor of the local governments as recent acts of Congress and the Executive would seem to indicate, it cannot interfere with a Carpet-Bag act to punish rogues iu State Legislatures .and bureaus, as it docs with the Ku-Klux act, to scourge rogues in the bush.

Dilke has recently made two speeches in denunciation o£ monarchy, and openly favoring a republi can form of government. At the latter of these, wc have heard hy telegraph, there were serious disturbances of the peace; the police being overborne hy the populace. This speech having been given at an out-of door meeting, wo can understand why there was a row raised over it, for Dilke’s talk is highly Inflammatory and revolutionary. Ho proposes, in what is called his “great speech” at Newcastle, to abolish royalty as a useless expense; and he alleges that the expenditures, a great portion of them, are not only waste, but mischief; the super numerary officers, troops, etc., upon which they are bestowed, serving to weaken the government and army, rather than strength en them. Mr. Dilkc is especially severe upon the household expenses of royalty. He computes them at £131,000 sterling per an num, and enumerates a portion of the Q ueen’s pensioners to bo friends in and about the royal kitchen. The list includes three phy sicians iu ordinal}*, three physicians extraor dinary, one sergeant-surgeon extraordinary, two sergeant-surgeons, three surgeons extra ordinary, one physician of the household, ouc surgeon of the household, one surgeon apothecary, two chemists of the establish ment in ordinary, one surgeon-oculist, one surgeon dentist, one dentist in ordinary, and one other physician—or twenty-one in all; while the Prince of Wales has for his special benefit three honorary physicians, two phy sicians iu ordinary,two surgeons in ordinary, oue surgeon extraordinary, one chemist in ordinary, making thirty-two phy sicians of very high rank to attend to the symptoms of one family. In view of this awful array of medical talent, it is not, per haps, to he wondered at that Victoria is gen erally ill, and the Prince of Wales iu a criti cal state of health. And if, as many wise men would toll us, the royal cook is more es sential to the royal health than the royal physician, there should he no need of doctors at all, unless, indeed, under the effect of the law that too many cooks spoil the broth for, entering the royal kitchen (especially on quarter-day), wo find a chief cook and four master cooks, flanked by au impos ing army of pensioners belonging to the Green Office,” the “Ewer Department,” the “Confectionery Department,” the “Table Dietary Department,” etc., bringing up tho rear of the procession which had been head ed by such functionaries as tho Lord High Almoner, Master of the Buckhounds, Clerk of tbe Closet, Exons in Waiting, Lord High Falconer, etc. Belonging to tho household list, but not, perhaps, mustered in the kitch en, are a host of such officials as the Grooms.of the Robes, Lords in Waiting, Gentlemen Ushers, Chief Equerries, Mar- slmls, c/jd jyeiiHg omne, and professional pen sioners, like “Historical Painters to tlio Queen,” “Lithographers to the Queen,” etc., almost without num ber. There are, besides the pal aces, royal carriages, etc., all of which the goYcmment keeps paying for, though royal ty uses them hut little, and quite a fleet of royal yachts, whereon officials are so plenty that one able-bodied man is kept under pay j «untne sole Hutry ing the lion and unicorn on the firo-hnekete! The sum total of the direct expenses of royalty is computed by Mr. Dilko, after, as he says, very careful investigation, at one million pounds sterling per annum. On no portion of this docs the Queen pay any taxes, though a largo portion of it is clear Income. The speaker cites the promise of Sir Robert Peel, In 1542, when asking, on behalf of Vic toria, the levy of an income tax, ho declared that Her Majesty, “promptodhy those feelings of deep and affectionate in terest in the welfare of her people which she had ever manifested, stated to him that if Parliament should subject all incomes to a certain charge, it was her determination that her own income should he subjected to a similar burden.” This insinuation of had faith cannot hut have the effect to prejudice the mind of the sturdy Briton against the sovereign now in power,— a feeling which can easily ho made to tell against royalty in general. Finally, after showing how offensive royalty is, Mr. Bilke harangues his auditors to show them that it is cumbersome in ad ministration and entirely personal in author ity. He concludes (and wo quote the notes expressive of the audience’s feeling also): I confess freely that I doubt whether, if tho charges to which I have to-night alluded are well founded, tho monarchy should not set its house in order. [Loud applause.] There is a widespread belief that a repubuo here is only a matter of education and time. [Great chocring.] it Is said that some day a commonwealth will bo our gov ernment. Now history and experience bhow that you cannot have a republic without vou possess at tho same time the republican virtues; but you answer; Have wo not public spirit 1 Have wc not the practice of self-government i Are wonot gaining general education t [Applause.] Well, if you con show mo a fair chance that a republic hero will bo free from the political corruption that hangs about tho monarchy, I say for my part—and I believe tho middle classes in general will say—let it come. [Cheers.] In short, Sir Charles expressed his con tempt of the monarchy in almost every way, except to renounce his own title of knight hood, which, having been bestowed on his father by Queen Victoria, stomps its pos sessors ns, in some sense, creatures of not merely the snmo institution, but the some individual sovereign that ho lashes so severe ly with his oratory. Notwithstanding tho apparent inconsistency of this omission. Sir Charles seems to have the favorable ear of a largo proportion of tho people and press. The Thunderer gives leader after lender to refntinghis arguments; the VaUMall Gazette makes tbeni tbo occasion of an appeal, in behalf of London society, for a regency under the Prince of Wales; the other dailies are talking almost constantly abont the “proposed-republic’’ (the most of them in opposition, it is true), and so the agitation goes on. The next revolu tionary demonstration of any moment is to bo made at Birmingham on tho Cth ber, when a sort of congress is to con sider these propositions l. Tbn.ttlic hereditary principle In legislation 16 tmwfcc, since it neither insures wisdom in tho individual nor patriotism iu tbo body; and is un just, since it confers upon a class powers whlffj ought to be exercised only by representatives of tho nation. 2. That in a free country tho ultimate deckled upon all questions of government or of tho policy of the State, must rest with representatives elect ed by tho majority of the people; and that some plan should bo adopted in this nation to give con stitutional effect to that decision. 3. That no right to legislate on tho affairs of the nation to bo conferred in consequence of tho profession of any theological opinions, or of connection with anv ecclesiastical estab lishment, and therefore the legislative power of the Bishops of the EsgUsh Church should bo abolished. 4. That a committee be appointed to consider by what means tho foregoing resolutions may be Tarried into effect. Tho parties which arc interested in the movement for reform or revolution arofolly as numerous as tho sects of Dissenters from England’s Established Church; and that which is to meet at Birmingham is desig nated as the moderate wing of tho radical half of the Liberal party.” The Judiciary Committee of one branch of the Legislature has reported a bill provid ing that an agreement of three-fourths of a jurj shall be suflicicnt for a verdict in all cml cases. This is a commendable reform. The reasons which have made unanimity of jurors essential in criminal cases do not ap ply to civil cases. The interposition of a jury in civil cases is merely to determine facts, to balance accounts, to examine claims, and to report tho facts, to which the Court' applies the law. In tho trial of cases where tho court consists of several Judges, unan imity cither in the declaration of the law, or on questions of the admissibility- of evi dence is not required. Why should tho jury The Hon. Horace Greeley publishes a mild request that he be allowed to have bis own opinions on the question of the nest Presiden tial nomination, and to utter them from time to time without being accused of treason, ar son, or bigamy. The request seems to ho a rea sonable one. We hope the New; York Times will allow Mr. Greeley to express his opinions in lus own paper on this subject without bringing him before the grand jury for it. It is unfortunate for Mr. Greeley’s influ ence iu deciding the question at issue that he has allowed his own name to be used as a candidate for this important office. That he has a right to bo a candidate—that anybody has a right to support him—that bo has a right even to run in dependent,” and that several millions if independent American citizens have the right to vote for him—are all propositions too plain to bo disputed. But his arguments against the renomination of President Grant would have more force in this censorious world if ho were not himself in the attitude of a candidate. There are many things to bo sold in opposition to the renomination of President Grant, and nobody could say them with more distinctness than Mr. Greeley if he were not fettered by his own candi daoy. If all the men in the Republican party who Until: that the renomination of Presi dent Grant would be unwise and prejudicial to the best interests of the party and of the country, would say so at the same time, he would not ho renominated. But if they were, or if the people suspected that they were, moved by the desire to get the nomi nation themselves, the simultaneous utter ance of their misgivings would produce very little effect. The second session of tho Forty-second Congress will start out with a fair capital in tbe way of bills and other business, left over from tho short session of last spring. Daring that session, of three weeks duration, there were introduced and referred to committees not yet appointed, no loss than eight hun dred bills, joint resolutions, etc. The calen dar included three constitutional amendments, and bills for the admission of Colorado and New Mexico, and for the creationlof tho Territories of Pembina and Oklahoma. The file is richest, however, In laud-grabbing bills, which fared rather hardly in the last session of tho previous Congress, but which “came up smiling” at tho very first moment of the Forty-second. It is intimated that a new plan for obtaining land grants has been devised, which will bo incorporated in most of the bills referred to, and will bo relied upon to carry through many of them which were otherwise sure to fail. It is thus stated: It is understood this plan proposes that the pro ceeds of a certain number of acres shall bo given to any projected railroad that may bo before Congress for aid; but, instead of giving tbe cor poration lands direct, settlors arc to bo allowed to go on os under the pre-emption law. As each twenty miles of subsidized road is completed and accepted, tho United States Land Office for that district is to give public notification thereof to settlers, who are then to have twelve months’ time to pay for their land, tho prlco being that charged for government sections—l2.so per acre. This process is to be repented until the road is completed, and tbo company is to bo alio wed to raise on mortgage upon such grant. This plan has for its chief merit tho fact that it is not quite so objectionable as a worse one would be—that, for instance, under which the public domain has oceu ou dv» u o. ——»4ca within the past six or seven years. But it will not got through Congress, The American Insurance Company of Chi cago has been published two or three times in the list of suspended or insolvent com panies. This company had very few risks in Chicago, its policies being confined to de tached dwelling houses, hams,farmproperty, churches, and school houses. Its losses by the Chicago fire were less than SI,OOO. It has not suspended or ceased transacting business for a single day. RAILROADS.

Laird Collier, as pub lished in The trituxe, the Chairman of that body has issued the following circular, explanatory of the difficulties with which ho and ms associates are compellcdto cope Dear Sib Wo are being dally overrun with applica tions for relief at this department, sent hero by the pastors of churches of all denominations, which do not belong to the Special Relief Committee, and os it is Im possible that they can receive attention at onr hands, and the result is great additional trouble to iitn, and nothing but delay and dLssppolntmcut to the nnnll cants, we respectfully request that you will kindly give us such assistance os It may be In your power to give to relieve ns of the difficulty, by advising all ap plicants for relief who may apply to yon for assistance that tills committee docs not undertake to attend to the general relief of the city. That work belongs to the various district depots, located In the dlfl'arent parts of the city. This committee is constituted merely to supplement the work done in the other districts, by affording a place where persons who, Imm age, sickness pf the applicant or his family, physical infirmity, condition iu life, and other cir cumstances, cannot apply at the depots in thodis tricts In whicn they reside to obtain the needed Fre- UcL No application for relief by any person which does not come within one ol tho exceptional cases above stated, will be considered at this office, how ever strongly the same may bo recommended by pas tors ol churrlica or by other Demons. Tills com. nuttee finds Itself able only with extreme difficulty, and tho most arduous and continuous labor properly to attend to the an. plicants whoso cases properly belong to its department of work. Nor does It furnish any ground for an applicant who does not properlr belomr tothis special department (according to the rules above stated) to make his application nero that such applicant has applied to tho district depot In which he icsides, and has not been properly treated there, or obtained there tho needful supplies or clothing which he required. If ho Is treated with disrespect or on kindness at any depot, or he fails to hnvo his need sup. plied, that furnishes a ground for complaint to bo made to the Superintendent, Mr. Gibbs, or to the general headquarters, but furnishes no reason for au appli cation to this committee, who ore neither charged with tho dntv or Invested with tho power of Lnveatl- Sting and correcting the abases which may exist in e district depots. If you will give such circulation to the Information above set forth as will servo to cor reel the evil, it will confer a groat favor upon the'com mlttcr, ."rfid very materially aid them In discharging their duties, and also prevent delay and disappoint ment to tho applicant. Von* respectfully, E. C. Lajuneu, Chairman. Chicago, Not. 28, 1871. MINISTERS’ MEETING, Gathering of the Presbyterian Ministerial As sociatlon—Dlncasslon of tbclSabject of Lying- In-Hospitals,’ etc* The Presbyterian Ministerial As sedation met yesterday morning, at 10 o’clock. In the basement of the Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Wabash avenue and Fourteenth street. Abonta dozen clergymen were present. The talking was principally informal, and to no definite question. The matter of insurance companies came up in a general way, some of the reverend gentlemen thinking that in an age of groat moral Ideas these great Swindles should be exposed and bold up to Public reprehension. There were several cner Setio tirades on the subject, but the speakers eemed that it would be too strong meat for the babes of the public. Mr. Walker stated that a physician of bis con gregation desired to start a lying-in-hospital, but desired, before deddiug to do so, to have the opinion of the association upon the subject. He ♦bought of commencing In a very small way. In iris own house, and would subject the place to all proper restrictions. The proposer of the plan thought that such a hospital would be conducive to the interest of morality and religion. He knew of many oases where death had resulted, especially among the poorer classes since the fife because of Insufficient accommodations and care in the few perilous weeks succeeding child birth. It was proposed not to exclude anyone, but to receive all who presented themselves, asking no questions for conscience sake. Xbo subject was discussed with a limited decree of freedom. Dr. Van Dom thought that it was desirable to know from some reliable statistics what the Foundling Homo was doing. Dr. Patterson was not prepared to give any opinion in regard to lying in-hospitals, but thought that any objection to a founOJing'a home would apply to such an institution with equal *°Dr*Von Dom said that he had been told by a Soung physician In charge of a similar Institution i New York city that one day a lady of fine ap pearance came to him and offered him tsoo to pro cure annbortlon. Ho said be would not bo an ac complice in tbo crime for 550.005. Very nice ques tions suggested themselves In connection with this matter, and it would always be a doubt ful question to wbat extent women m delicate cir cumstances, where concealment was desirable, might be allowed to cover their tracks. Mr. Davis expressed the opinion that Mr. Ship man was doing a great deal of good. Dr. Eddy stated that on a recent visit to that v 28, IftTlv i»lnce. hi* bad been informed that It was not pay iiiit, hut Htlll lie thought ifWM dotnsrnn excel Jeiit work and shouufrvo sustained. The matron in clmrgfl told him at bls visit that omirhriodrod urplmua Imd been received jlmw last February. Ue ulluded lo the very decided opposition or i orm-c Girelry, and the New York Obtcroer, to in- Hthr.tious of this kind. Lr. Buttcruoti thought that-a lylog-lu-bospital would he a good or u had thing, according to tno wu/ In which It was managed. Jdr.

After the subject had been discussed at some h ngtb, It wns put npun the docket for future dls* cusmuu. It whs decided In this connection that ’tie meeting next Monday* should be dovorod to louring from each *»f the; pastors, seriatim, a brief address upou the situation since the tire. The discussion of this subject of hospitarv with some general talk in regard to relief mat ters, occupied the entire time of the meeting. BERLIN’S CONTRIBUTION.

To Hi# JTonvr (he Mayor of the City of Chicago: Bin Ihe appalling calamity Kmc has befallen our beloved Chicago, involving such destruction of tno and beauty, of commerce, civilization, and progress as has never been recorded in human annals, has awak ened earnest and genuine sympathy throughout all Germany. Tho homing of our great and beautiful city, the grandest and most conspicuous monument of the genius and enterprise of the American people, under Jree and liberal institutions and government, Ulnstly considered»national, not a mere local, cal amity. 1 1 is felt that a long and cruel train of horrors and sufferings must follow the awtul destruction that has swept over the ill fated city; ami ev erywhere funds have been and are being raised for the relief of the vast necessities of your destitute and stricken people. Being one of your citizens, allied to Chicago by many associations of public service and friendship, and glorying in its marvellous growth, prosperity and splendor, tho horror of the announce, munt of Its sudden destruction by lire unspeakably shocked and overwhelmed mo; but feeling that I must do whatever little there miirht he In my power toward aiding and assisting my fellow-citizens in their dire distress, I promptly took steps to organize a relief committee here, and, thanks to the ready responses to my appeals, we have thus far given orders to Messrs. Hanft Company, of New York, to pay to your order the sum of $25,000 which the committee trust you have promptly received. Amojigthecontribntora to the fund arc found the Emperor and I mpress, the Queen Dowager, and tho Crown Prince and Crown Princess. The Empress, to quote the language of the letters transmitting mo tho donations, giving in grateful remembrance of tho sympathy displayed by America during the late war.” and the Crown Princo and Crown Princess ‘‘ln grate fnl acknowledgement of tho friendly feelings which Araerlcamost efficiently manifested for tho German warriors during tho conflict with Prone©, and in heart felt sympathy for the Inhabitants of Chicago smitten by terrible misfortune.” Our collections are still going on and promise adj ditlonal results. To enable t* c committee to properly, account to tho contributors for the sums received. I am directed to respectfully ask your Honor to make suitable acknowledgement of tho receipt of tho amounts transmitted to you from Berlin. In tho meantime wo all here feel that the people of Chicago, though grievously tried, and well nigh overcome, have not and will not lose hope and heart, and with the help of God, and by their undaunted courage, en terprise, skill, and energy, will rebuild and restore their city, to oven greater wealth, usefulness and splendor.—a consummation most fervently to be de sired and hoped for. I have tho honor to be, sir, your obedient servant. 11. Kreibmank, United States Consul. cncACio, Nov. a, iBTI. H.

On tho 2lst of October I acknowlodgd to Messrs.

For this Jiroof of tho active sympathy of tho people of Berlin or those who wero almost ready to perish, permit us to offer you on their behalf the most heartfelt grati tude. The unprecedented calamity of tho Bth and 9th of October, which stripped 100,000 people of all their worldly possessions, lias still left upon the books of tho Belief Society (which has now the management of this great charity) not less than seventy-five thousand men, women, and children, dependent for their daily bread, for shelter, and for sufficient clotlilng. upon pnblic charity. To care for this multitude, with any efficiency, would have been utterly Impossible but mr tbe generous sympathy and aid which thiq has called all parts of tJIO Civilized world. This Triite-WTOUI it is hoped, will help os without essential suffering; ana ?ur Belief Commit tee. therefore, will understand how thnnkTZl“ v th? ir large contribution is received. A very largo propor tion of tho sufferers by tho firo are Germans, who. especially, will b* deeply scnslbleof tho kind exertions of yourself and tho other members of your committee to relievo their excessive wants.

Description of Campbell’s Donation to the Chi cago Relief Fand* A few days ago it was announced in these col umns that A. Campbell. Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., had donated to the Relief and Aid Society, two printing presses, to be sold by the Society for tho benefit of tho sufferers of the fire. Tho larger of tho two presses is now on exhibition at the office of Messrs. Horton A Leonard, No. 10 North Jef ferson street. We will refer to somo of the advantages possessed by this ma chine. First. Tho moat perfect reg ister" can be obtained. A deficiency in this respect is impossible, as tho bed and the cyl inder are geared-together on both aides, and therefore travel in unison. Second. Two thou sand impressions per hour can be worked with four rollers passing over the form. Third. Tho great consideration iu tho art of tino printing la "rolling.” By a trip” movement, governedoy automatic means, the pressman can "roll" tho form as many times as is neces sary before the impression is taken, and by a simple adjustment of a lover tho press can bo started, and will trip every other impression. Fourth. Tho inking and dis tributing arrangements aro complete. Two ink fountains,*’ one at each end of the press, and tho distributing tables, are used. A good iuk can be kept in one fountain, while an inferior quality can bo kept in the other, so that the machine Is over ready for fine or common work. Fifth. No tapes are used to convey tho sheets to tho fly. By on ingenious device, instead of being carried on to the fly, with tho printed matter rubbing against the bars and tapes, tho sheet runs one with the blank side to the tly, and the printed matter la free from any contact with ft. There are no grippers "to be altered to salt each job. Sixth. No "ountcr springs" aro required, at whatever speed the press may run, the bed being governed at the reversing points by a combination movement that entirely removes the necessity for rebuffing springs; Seventh. Everything possible has been done to old tho pressman in the removal of obstructions to his labor. Tho "feed-board," etc., are so ar ranged that they can be thrown out of the way without disturbing the "guides," leaving tho cylinder free for the manipulation of the oper ator. BOARD OF POLICE, The Patrolmen to be Vaccinated Forthwith-* Kennedy)* Report on the Hickey-Brnab Con fidence Operation* A regular semi-weekly meeting of the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners was held at the Madison Street Station, yesterday! afternoon. President Brown in the choir. Present, Commis sioners Gund, Sheridan, and Chadwick. The fol lowing communication was received from Sani tary Superintendent Bauch: Gentlemen: Invicwof the prevalence of small-pox in tills dtv, and tbo danger of being Infected by the police, 1 would respectfully recommend that all bo vaccinated. Commissioner Brown moved, in order that the public may not be affected by the police, that the police be revaccinated by the Sanitary Superin tendent. Ho afterward withdrew the motion, and the communication was laid on the table temporarily. Superintendent Kennedy, who was requested to investigate the Hickey-Brush case—Brush be ing a confidence man, whom Hickey released be cause the Canadian ho had robbed refusedto pros ecute—made a verbal report in relation to the matter. He understood that the grand Jury had taken cognizance of tho cose, and had had all tbo persons who know anything about it before them; but no bill had been found against Captain Hickey, because the circumstances would not Justify it.. He had endeavored to learn the particulars from the State’s Attorney, but had been unable to converse with him, as he was overwhelmed with business. As soon as he was informed of tho circumstances ho would make a written report. James Morrison, a special policeman, who loft his post without permission, was dismissed from tho force The board then adjourned. xhsuraxcb. ime in GEO. C.
