The Daily Review. JOSH. T. JAMES, Ed. and Prop WXLMINGTON. N. C. MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1877. VIEWS AND REVIEWS. The cultivation of tobacco in Germnny occupies some 54.4O00 acres, principally in the southern worth about $45,0 States. 1 he crop is 0,000, and in spite of the enormous homo consumption, a con siderable quantity is exported every year. - One of the Harvard Professors was pitched into by a studcnttfhe other night, .who strode up to the Professor in a horse car, gave him a stunning blow, jammed his silk hat down to his shoulders, and escaped before the bewildered Professor conld raise the hat and see who his assailant was. Ned Gaulsby (colored) has been ar rested for burglary at -Atlanta, and, on looking up his record, it was found that he owed the State some service 1 50 years of it, in fact, having four times escaped from jail namely, when sentenced to a ninety-nine years' term for murder and tnrce terms ui miuiy jaio vuvu homicide and two burglaries. It is proposed to build a Merchants' Exchange in Havana. The building is to be of iron and masonry of large size, and handsome .in design. It will receive the telegrams of the Associated Press of New York, and will have a system of telegraphic communication with 6uch of the Large business houses of Havana as desire to have an instrument on the prem ises. King Ludwig of Bavaria is reported to have at his summer residence a little boat covered with mother-of-pearl, built rn the shape of a nautilus shell, and large enough for two persons. It is lined with scarlet Velvet, and tuo rowiocKS are oi corai. Another whim of his is to have in his garden a kiosquc, so arranged with ingen ious candelabra as to cause, when lighted, a reflection of stars ar.d moons on the CeiliDg. 1 Hard times are prevailing in Buenos Ayres. ' Although money is cheap and in abundant supply, hundreds are going down under obligations greater than they can bear.

X Senator Davjs, of West ) Virginia, cer: tainly deserves the unbounded confidence as well as thanks of the country for his persistent efforts to dis cover the frauds in the Treasury Department during the last session of the last Congress. This same indefatigible Senator worked with a will that knew no bounds except where it was f completely overwhelmed by the then Radical majority in the Senate Chamber. He made the bold assertion then that there was a dis crepancy of about $100,000,000 during Secretary BoutwU's administration. On Thursday he comes forward and asserts again by a resolution which heintroduced that there now "appeared to be material differences, alterations, and discrepancies in the financial reports of the Treasury Department", Mr. Davis further stated that this resolution which in the main was to the effect of demanding a rigid inves tion into the accounts of the Treasury De partment, is pimilar to one introduced by him on a previous occasion; He had used all his power to have such a resolution passed, but failed. Continuing, the Sena tor asserted it as his belief "that . there were material alterations in the Treasury account i he might almost siy thtre wre forced balances." i , No wonder Mr. John Sherman swoVe vilelv that Anderson. Cassanave and Weils 7 of the returning board in Louisiana, were entitled to as much respect as any Sena tor on that flor ; he probably measured them by his own standard and that of the dow Senator-elect 'and ex -Secretary of the Treasury Boutwell, from Massachusetts. No wonder, we repeat, that Mr. John Sherman, one of the great lights of the Radical partv during the stinking admin istration of Grant, should swear to the respectability of the Louisiana returning board when upon their testimony depend ed the seating of the Fraudulent Presi dent. No wonder, again .that Honest John Sherman was willing to renounce a seat in tho U. S. Senate to accept a Cabinet position, I when that Cabinet position was the place lately held by Boutwell an- othertbright shining light, of the stinking administration of Gen-jl. Ulysis S. Grant. Now does it seem too harsh to apply these terms to men who haye1 stolen, act ually stolen, the peoples money ty the! million? Wc cannot think eo, and we do not seo how any law-abiding, God fearing patriot in the country can differ with us. ' Facts aro facts and cannot be denied. The country knows tiat Sher man entered Congress a poor maD . l ne people know also his reputed wealth is millions. They know also that; Grant was a poor man, 1 they know that Secor loberson , was a poor man arid they know by the man's own confession that Belknap L . 1 y -m . t 1 is a f tniet and a rogue, ana tney Know urther that'such men controlled the ad ministration cf Grant. Why then be mealy-mouthed ! and not call things by heir right names ? Why do not John Sherman and his confreres use all diligence in bringing to light the frauds of the Treasury Depart ment? Why did be opposo Senator Davis on the floor of the Senate at the list Congress ? Why does he still oppose all efforts looking to the end of an inves- ti?ation in Congress ? The answer is plain to bur mind, but we await Senator Davis' further investiga tion, befpro giving it. In our opinion the time is not far distant when all the facts connected with these discrepancies of $100 000,00Q and the sudden riches of poor ongressmen will be made known to the country. In the mean tme let the good work go on, and Senator Davis will have that reward that comes of a good con science and duty -faithfully performed. SEATING MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE. By special resolution of Hon. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the House of 'Re presentatives, last Monday, the Hon. Alex H. Stephens, of Georgia, Hon. Wm. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvanfa, the oldest mem ber in continuous service, aud Hon. Fer nando Wood, of New York, the oldest member in point of servicewere permitted to select, their seats before the drawing took place. By subsequent amendments to this resolution the Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, was permitted to make a selec tion also, on account of eighteen years of service, and cx-Governor Patterson, of New York, on account of his advanced years. By still another amendment the Hou. N: P. Banks was included in the first resolution but, for what reason was not stated in the amendment, possibly because he was once elect ed speaker under the plurality rule,1 and afterwards served as StoiK waII Jackson's Commissary in- the Valley of Virginia. i Four large London firms have been in vited to compete for the supply of corru gated iron for huts, to contain 100,000 Russian soldiers. They are to be delivered at Antwerp and sent direct thence to Bu charest. Orders have also been issued lot eight railroad stations for a strategic rail road; They are tcbe complete la every respect, and provided- irith u eating CUBA, AND SPAIN. , The Cuban ;''rebellion" is now in its ninth year. According to Senor Cara- nena, every Captain-General sent out from Spain is;bribed by Havana mer chants and contractors, who are pecuni arlv interested in let tin sr hostilities con tinue. Senor Caranena thinks it will take half a million of men to stamp out rebel Hon.nd aSds: - "In 1875 the Spanish force in Cuba was composed of 140.000 troops. This is a large body of men, but a little investigation will convince us that it is not so formidable as it looks. Of the troops sent to Cuba 25 per cent, die from sickness within three momths. Then the soldiers are often as long as twenty months without pay; they are mostly badly clothed, badly fedt and arc other wise treated badly. About 12 per cent of their number desert, 0 per cent, are killed in warfare, and 7 per cent, are in the hospitals. There is only about SO per cent, doing duty, ia guarding the forts "and cities. Thus an army bf 100,- nno men will civc onlv an effective force of 20,000 men for duty over the whole Island. Any nation which believes that the conquest of Cuba can be effected by a few thousand men makes one of the gra vest mistakes." , If Ihere is any truth; in these statements the question arises, not what is to become of Cuba but what will be the fate of Spain ? Nine years of of such a warfare would seem to an outsider enough to bankrupt the Bank or England with all the Rosthschilds; Baring Brothers iud Widow Burdett-Coutts as surities. A Belgian journal says a new process has been applied to the manufacture of artificial black walnut, by which ordinary wood has imparted to it the appearance of the most beautiful specimens of wal nut, adapted to the very finest cabinet work. The wood, first thoroughly dried and warmed, is coated once or twice with a liquid composed of one part by weight of extract of walnut peel, dissolved in six parts of soft water by heating it to boil ing, and stirring. The wood thus treated is, when half dry, brushed with a solution of one part by weight of bichromate of potash in five parts of boiling water, and, after drying t thoroughly, is. rubbed and polished. The color is thus said to be fixed in the wood to a depth of one or two iines, and, in the case of red beech or alder, for instance, the walnut appoarance is most perfect. i m : i The total production of the Chilian mines from 1844 to 1874 amounts to $38G,100,7G1, of which 225,903,592 was exported through, the ports of the province cf Atacama alone. In 1874 Atacama employed l,G05miners, working in 8G mines, &nd producing 18,207,926 kilogrammes of silver. In the province of Coquimbo the 340 mines of copper, silver, mercury and gold have given a gross pro duct of 367,203,361 pounds, or a net pro duction of 905 ounces of gold, 14,370 grammes of silver, and 21,G43X00 kilo grammes of copper. , The Baltimore Sun says myriads oi wild ducks, from their summer watering places, have passed southwarrt over Elk- ton, and the Susquehanna flats arc covered with them. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C., Oct. 20th, 1877. It is very gratifying to read and hear, as your correspondent does daily, the en couraging reports from New York, Penn sylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin and, in fact, from all parts of the country. The late events which have most helped to encourage the Democrats of those States, and to dishearten the Republicans, are unquestionably the great victory in Ohio and the harmonious and temperate action of the Democracy in organizing the House. The re-election of Randall and the other officials by - a substantially unanimous vote was an immense gain to the conserva tive strength of the ccuntr The mod erate yet firm course of Democratic Sena tors and Representatives since the organi zation, has had its beneficial effect also. The only questions of interest so far in the House have been as to the seating of members, and in this matter the majority has been liberal almost. to a fault. In the Senate there ii considerable feeling on the subject of the Louisiana Senators. The case of Spofford, with whom Kellogg comes in contest, was on Thursday referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, by a strictly party vote except that S9nator David Davis voted with "the Democrats against reference. The case of Eusti?, from the same. State, differing slightly from Spc fiord's, was up yesterday, and had the fame reference. It differs from Spofford's in this that the v Senate has already decided that Pinchback, who ir as a claimant for the scat now claimed by Eustis, has no right. Upon the ques tion whether Eustis could be legally elec ted Senator while Pinchback's case was un decided, Senator David Davis wished for further time for consideration, - and hence the referecoe to Committee. An early report is promised, and Eustis, at qleast, will be seated. Probably Spofford will be also. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, pre sented a resolution for an investigation of the Treasury Department, especially as to the accuracy of the monthly statements of public debt, and will this time get a special committee. When- he before presented such a resolution an investigation, was virtually denied by reference to a stand ing committee already ver worked. , It is officially given out that the 2faf York Custom House appointments will be made very soon, and that the parties have oeen agreed upon in Cabinet meeting. Upon these, if upon any nominations of Mr. Hayes, a contest may - be expected. But from present appearances I do not believe there will be any contest. For the confirmation of respectable citizens for such positions thpre can be no objec tions to Democratic Senators voting, and as long as it is certain that v confirmation cannot be defeated I do not believe Sena tor Conkling will make a fight; The pelce of Third Assistant Secretary of State has been tendered to Robt. Lincoln and declined by him. 1 A It will be remembered that in a late in terview Genl. Grat charged Charles Sumner with untruthfulness in short, with lying. Such a charge made by an Ex-President against Mr. Sumner, was sure to arrouse an interest not soon to be quieted. Already Wendell Phillips has given his opinion,- or rather, has spoken on the subject.- He says that on one of the occasions when Sumner s words to GVant had been said by the latter to be untruthful, the General was drunk. It will be hard to prove this, as only Sum ner, Grant and John W. Forney were present, and Sumner is dead, Grant is an interested party, and Forney, in all per son al disputes, always pairs off with bim self. But the story is not in itself un likely. Hamilton Fish has been inter viewed on the subject of Sumner's truth fulness,, and his testimony, in one respect, supports Genl. Grant's. But in the particular case to whieh Fish refers we have only the word of Grant as to what George William Curtis said that Sumner said. Mr. Curtis, who is a blue-blooded reformer and cannot, therefore, tell a lie, should be heard from. This is certainly the most interesting question, of its kind, that has arisen in a generation and its full discussion will throw a great deal of light on the last few years of the- late Adminis tration.
