The recent discussion of the new census bill in the House sufficiently developed the feeling of that body relative to the clause providing far an increase ofthe number of its members, to indicate the certainty of its adoption. The strongest argument yet advanced in its favor is that the strength of the Senate has increased in more rapid proportion than that ofthe House under the present ratio of representation. The bill v^ili he hurried to final action, and undoubtedly be passed- by both houses within the coming fortnight for the reason that the old law Avill be rcvived if anew one is not adopted before he 1st of January.

spunky little husband, who has recently set up for asocial reformer. In

The Sun's

opinion "Mr. Sprague is a man of talent, almost of genius. His skill in making money is proved„by his success. His mind is strong and fertile, though defective in intellectual discipline and if he had more heart and iriore imagination he would be a great man. But his aspirations and his character are oppressed by the love of wealth. He has not yet shown that he can cut loose from the passion for getting money and be a free man in the full sense of the word. Will he ever truly appreciate his own remarkable saying, 'Nothing is so cowardly as five hundred thousand dollars, except it be a million?' And the words of Scripture, 'Ye cannot serve God and Mammon?"'

Gonerai, A. II. Terry, in his admirable report, shows that there is, practically, no government in Georgia, the most heinous crimes are committed, and i)o effort is made to punish the perpetrators. The Kii-Klux Ivlans are numerous, active, and have the sympathies of the local magistrates. Good citizens deplore the outrages committed by the desperadoes, but fear the criminals so much that they will not inform against them, being apprehensive of their vengeance, and have no confidence in the power or dispo" Bitio'n of the civil authorities to afford them protection and the criminal minorty, therefore, rule and disgrace the State. General Terry says he knows of no way in which Georgia can be redeemed from its present anarchical condition, except by an exercise of the powers conferred on military commanders by the reconstruction acts. Of this, Congress will, of course, have to be the judge meanwhile, the Unionists and frcedmen of Georgia are at the mercy of their unprincipled, reckless and bloodthirsty persecuters.-

Commenting on Senator Drake's bill in regard to the Supreme Court, the St. Louis

Democrat

remarks that if the meas

ure is designed only to limit the power of the Court in dealing with acts of a political character, it may reach a very grave difficulty, and may have real merit. At any rate, Republican papers should not be in haste to censure it until they know what it is. One thing we hope it docs not do—we hope it does not propose to deprive the Supreme Court of the power to determine whether State acts or constitutions are at war with the Constitution of the United States. For such a tribunal is absolutely necessary to give effect to the anti-slavery and civil rights amendments, and to other provisions of the Constitution. Indeed, we cannot suppose that the bill goes to that length, for if it did, Mr. Drake would be asking the Senate to prohibit the Court from deciding a case which he, as a lawyer, has been arguing before it—the one involving the constitutionality of the test oath. If so, men would justly say that the Senator proposed to shape legislation for the purpose of protecting that oath, and we do not think his own State would wish to cling to a measure which could in no other way be saved from an adverse decision, v*\

Danger in a Night Lamp. Miss MetticBulhand, of Meridian, Cayuga county, had a very narrow escape from death by suffocation, last week, under the following circumstances: She took a common kerosensc lamp and went to her sleeping room, and, as she expected a younger sister to follow her soon, she turned down the wick partially, and went to sleep. The younger sister followed her in about half an hour, when she found the room filled with a suffocating vapor, and the blaze streaming up from the lamp, threatening explosion. With remarkable presence of mind she took the lamp and handed it to her father down the stairs, and he succeeded in throwing it out of doors. The lamp thuS'Safely disposed of, on returning to the chamber they found the daughter lying in an unconscious state eyes wide open, with a death-like stare—and she could not be aroused. They immediately removed her from the room, and after some little time, under the treatment of a physician, she was restored to consciousness, but suffering a severe pain in her lungs. We give the particulars of this case at some length, becausc there arc thousands of our readers, we doubt not, who are in the habit of going to sleep with kfer&enc burning in lamps at the side of their _bcds.—-Roches

Foreign Trade of England. The foreign trade of England is enormous. In 1868, reduced from pounds sterling to dollars in specie, it was as follows Imports .....SI ,470,000,000 Exports 1,140,

exports. 5330.000,000 The foreign trade of the United States for 1867 was: Imports S3S9.924.977 Exports 1385,722,450

ITo ta 1 $775,647.427 Besides the above, we imported $22,30S,345 in specie, and exported $55,116,384 making our total imports and exports $853,072,156. It will be seen that we have not one third so much trade as the old parent country, the area of whose territory is but little greater than Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. It will be seen that there is a balance of trade against England in the above of over $300,000,000, or three fourths as much as our whole imports. And this excess of imports over exports appears to be steadily increasing. In 1867, the excess was $250,000,000^ in 1860, it was $285,000,000 in 1865, it was $265,000,000, and, in 1S64, it was $330,000,000. But the exports being valued always at the home rates, of course the profits realized on their sales abroad are not counted in the above figures. Then the profits on the immense carrying trade of Great Britain is not included in the figures. These profitsjmuft be very great. The whole tonnage of Great Britain is not now less than 7,500,000, which at $100 per ton would represent $750,000,000. At 5 per cent, per annum net profits, the income on tine commerce would be $37,500,000. But it is undoubtedly much more than this.

These figures will give ionie idea of the vast trade of Great Britain, and what an immense workshop for all kinds of manufactures she has come to be. No wonder that she is able to bear the enormous load of taxation under which she groans, but which nevertheless her statesmen are constantly laboring to dimish.—Chicago

BontTrell's Argument.

The report of Secretory Boutwell, as compared with those of his predecessors, is very brief. The reason is that there was.no necessity for a long and labored eflort to set himself' and his policjtright before the country. Any Secretary of the Treasury who reports a large monthly reduction ofthe public debt makes a con-clu-ivc defense of his official course, and the 'Government is saved the Jxcavy expehse of printing foV him ^n'long annual report. While Democrats like Voorhecs and Pendleton have been seeing nothing but bankruptcy and Tuiu ahead, and have declared the people, utterly nnable to pay the debt or even the interest on it, Secretary Boutwell has every month brushed the cloud from before the pubjic vision by reporting a decrease of the debt at the rate of seven to twelve millions of dollars a month—making in nine months an aggregate reduction of $73,000,000, an average of over $8,000,000 a mortfr, just, abqgat SWIff,000,000 a rear.* I^t'^cretan' Bbfltwell conti jnent
