The Louisville Courier-Journal asks if President Grant haa-"curtailed the number of public rogues?1' It strikes ue he did some pretty effective work in that line during.the la,te unpleasantness.

now known that for the six

months ending January 1st our imports exceeded our exports only $3,500,000 nniiMbAafed^ for the flame 5 three mtirtths our exports have exceeded our imports.

The Tribune wants what possible excuse Senafor Howard haa for proposing to print the usual' number of the 'voluminous report of testimony taken by a Sab-Commjttfie relative to fhe Southern &U^foI»tki Who except the officers of the Company cares for the testimony at all, and how many of these-will ever read the report if published? Unfortunately, this proposal if, not more absurd than hundreds of others which are acceded to, and whicji swell £he Lr^f|^b^p4tin|to |n extravagant sum Which the people are oppress

ively taxed to pay. Workwomen'sstrikesare startlingly &n'fKe'iiicreaSte in Prance.' The foundrymen, molders and tailors of Paris have followed the example of the employes at La Cruezot. This looks bad for the parental Government of Louis Napoleon.-— He can hardly fine and send to prison al tlieae'tfwusands of ^piflgnen, as|e does unfriendly journalists, and Ollmer will not be able to set^e the .difficulty with his high-flown speeches. Nor will it do 10 force thekfrHfei'to retafrn to-work at the point of the bayonet, that favorite weapon o? five'master of JVAAce. Things are Wfifring^ very troubled look in the Empire, whose founder proclaimed it to be one of.pew»'- Us affairs have certainly been anything rather than peaceful for two years past—and the outlook is stormy.

bplieved-thnt the income tax will

be continued, though with some modifications, as hertofore. Gen. Schenck made an enePgfetic rfml convincing Speech in favor of on Saturday, and was followed on the same side by Messrs. to-

linois, -MqCarty, of lowa.and others. Even Tffr. '^oorhees came to' the rescue, delat ing that in his opinion the most unpopular thipg the House could do would

lae to abolisii this tax. The whote number of persons who now pay an income tax, according to Gen. Schenck, is 272,813. More than one-third of this number, 107,000, pay $20 or less. To raise the exemption to $2,000 would exclude this class altogether. Those who pay between $20 and $50 number 09,184 those paying from -50 to $100 are 41,196 from $100 to $200 &?& 46,000 and the smallest class, of those paying over $200, numbers only 9,464.

jury bilTj

is now before the Leisl a

ture of New York, which has some new features in it. The New York Times, speaking of this much-needed measure, says that the absurd spectacle of hundreds of men, summoned to perform one of the chief duties of citizenship, and pet-hap^half iw&ozcii beihg found "qualified," has been exhibited long enough.— The loose manner in which many people excuse themselves from serving is also highly reprehensible. The constant remission pf fines for noi^att^Janee when HUt^mdne^ifljnn^t todjiej-ohiniura^ at large? In short, the whole system at present in vogue has fallen into great disrepute, and the administration of justice is impeded by it to an intolerable extent. The pending bill proposes to remedy all those evila,. It give* the Judges aole power oVerfjuried and* relieve the Commissioner of a great source ofannoyancein the shapfe df Constant application for indulgence. Jurors are, moreover, to be fairly paid for then time, and persons whose occupations render service impossible witliout public injury are exempted.

The Election Laws.

here seems to be a misapprehension in the minds of persons in^relation to the existing lawi governnsg jpJecfaobs in this State, it doft not to be generally known fthat the registry la*, has been repe%j^d Mid is no longer irt fivrce.

In cities and iacorpfcrated towns, elections arc held as heretofore in May. All township elections, heretofore held in April, are now held at the general election, on the 2d Tuesday in October, biennially, which gives township officers 4efms of two years.

All the provisions of the law of 18o7 have been repealed except the following: Rut: Persons most reside in the township, city-or ward, twenty days prior to offering to vote.

Secondly. There shall be no adjournment nor recess taken, until the votes are all counted and the result publicly announced.

Thirdly. All ballots shall be written or printed on plain white paper without any distingusihing marks or embellishments, except the candidates, names and the offices voted for, and all others shall be refused. Voters may write their names orftHiir tickets.

The law of 1869, makes a very impor tant change in the mode of receiving and keeping the ballots. The Inspector is required to number the ballot on the back to correspond with the number of the voter on the poll book kept by the clerks. The officers of elections must be chosen in equal numbers from the two leading political parties. In case a vote is challenged, the voter is required to swear to his residence and his right to vote, and that he has not voted at any other precinct that day, and some freeholder of the precinct is also required to swear to the right of the applicant to vote, and their affidavits must be attached to and returned with the poll book to the County clerk. O'

Any officer of elections willfully violating any of the provisions of the law, or guilty of arty fraud in the ele«*ion, shall £e deetned guilty of a felony, and be punished by imprisonment in the States prison for not less than two years.

The second important inquiry in refer encefor the development of our Western iron interests is the extent of the block coalfield.

Thtee of the furnaces visited by the Clay Aranty excursionists use the coal di rect from their own mines, without any cost for railway transportation. A fourth the fine establishment at Brazil, is com pelled to carry its coal by railroad sever al miles, at a cost, at present, of four dol lars per oar, or about one dollar per car less than the same could be delivered at Grteencastle or Terre Haute, and perhaps one third the cost of delivery by railroad ,to Louisville or Cincinnati.

If now it can' be shown that the atlvan tage of^low freight on Missouri ores to Cincinnati, Louisville and Evansville will oftset the necessary additional cost of coal, it will be proper to expect that part, at least, of the future development will accrue to the direct advantage o' these centers of trade by the establish ment of furnace^ on the Ohio river

If to the advantages of cheap ores it fonnd on further examination that the block coal region extends southward along the entire eastern outcrop of the Indiana coal fields, crossing the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad near Washington and'the Ohio near Rockport, then it be comes a matter of the greatest importance to the prominent centres of trade on the Ohio to extend and perfect these facilities, both by water and rail to this region

By some it is claimed that the block coal is confined to the section north of White River, but by others, with equal confidence, that it extends to and beyond the Ohio river.

A careful survey and report of this section, including a pile test of the native ores of the Green River country, in Kentucky, seems essential to a proper appreciation of the proposed railroaJ route to Rockport and Owensboro from some convenient point on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.

Statements have been furnished me that theso ores are scarcely inferior to the Missouri ores, and that large deposits of block coal are found south of White river, which, if accurate, makes this improvement of more adyantagc to Cincin nati than any short line now proposed in any direction to add to the business of the city.

The northern limit of the coal fields in Indiana is south of the Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad, and it is not so difficult a question to decide as to location and development of this section southward.

Our present definite knowledge shows that abundance of the purest and best eoal for smelting iron is found within narrow belt, not to exceed five miles in extent, lying east of Brazil—its center at Knight8ville, running thence northward to Carbon, on the new Terre Haute & Indianapolis Road, and yet farther north, possibly into the center of I'arke county, and extending also southward along the eastern outcrqp of the coal fields into Martin, and then perhaps onward to and across the Ohio.

The further examination of this belt will be looked to with great interest by all interested in our mineral resources.

Prevention of Spring Diseases. It is an indusputable physiological truth that if the instincts of nature were yielded to in the spring were cherished in her desire to take less and less food as the weather grows warmer, a.s they are yielded to in the autumn in taking more, a very large amount of the diseases of spring and summer would be avoided. The great practical lesson to be learned in reference to the subject, a question of health and disease, yes, in multitudes of cases a question of life and death, is simply this: as the winter passes, and the balmy spring-time comes on, do nothing to iucrease the appetite eat no more than is called for do not be uneasy because you have little or no relish for your food eat less and less and less every day. The very best way to increase your pleasure of "eating is to change the quality of the fftod* nse articles less carbonaceous ltss warming send fr«n your table the pork and bacon, and fat meats and oils, and sugars and starches, and sago and the tapioca pudding, and the dumplings and the rich pastries get hold of the early "greens," the spinach, the salads, the turnip-tops,"the radish, the'early berry and the early fruit, and lean meats pay increasing attention to the cleanliness of the skin be"more in the open air, sleep in better ventilated rooms, let your Endows be raised higher at night, and your inner doors be left.wider open.—Hall'? Health by Good Living.

Verii.Y the New York Tribune is becoming obstreperous H. G. pauses in the midst of his highly entertaining agricultural" articles to mildly intimate that the New York Times "lies deliberately, willfully, wickedly, with naked intent to defameandimalign," and that "its lie is utterly without excuse or plausibility." A series of articles on what the editor knows about blackguardism would be "mighty interesting reading" just now.

Very Unnsnal Negro.

From the Lexington Gazette.] !j At tho l:ut meeting of (he Loxinj Presbytery, sitting iu Versailles, a negto applied for license to preach, and it wai accorded to him, but not until' after a most searching examination, during which he showed himself familiar wilh Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and all the text-books required to be studied by Presbyterian theological students. The negro is a singular compound of physical deformity and mental activity, being dwarfed and distorted in body to a degree almost painful to look upon, and with a very large head,out of all proportion to the rest of his person. He is a reputed son of the great lawyer and orator, S. S. Prentiss, at one time member of Congress from Mississippi, where he was looked upon as a perfect prodigy of eloquence and mental attainment. This son of his seems to possess his father's peculiarities in an exaggerated degree, and may yet prove as marvelous in mind as distorted in body. His appearance so prejudiced the members of the Presbytery against him that they would have refused him a license if he had shown any deficiency. He was required to deliver a sermon of his own composition, and the matter of it was not only good, but the manner of de livery was composed and admirable. We have not heard to what field he has been called.

From Ik*GifBnVttle (&P Uller^oa^^^^Hn^Niller^' Wilson 8hanPton,|gon of jnlius Shannon, each in tfieWfeventh year of theif were at Mrs. Ullery's playing, and coming across a- root which they supposed to be &n artichoke, proceeded to eat it. Just at that time Mrs. Ullery had, gone over, |o Mr. ^odl^s,® fewf j-wfe oply 4*^ residence, and while there the boys came ,ip, Tj|v, PT* George remarking to his mother that the root did not taste like artichoke, /or it was bitter aiid, burned their mouths. His mbther.told him to throw it away for it might make him sick. He auswered bade that he guessed not, an he had already eaten lots of it witb salt, and it did not hurt hfm, at the safae titne. starting home in obedience to the command 'of his mother. But the little:fellew did not re^ch his home before he was severely attacked with spasms. He was taken into the house and medical aid summoned, but, there was no relief, and spasm after spasm followed in rapid succession, and in a few hours death relieved fhe little sufferer from his terrible a^ony.

Before George died Wilson was taken sick, ant^for se^aral Jiwtt* Was.subject to severe spasms, one alter another, until about ten o'clock at night, when he became better, having cast from his stomach the poisonous root'he had eaten. He is still improving, and is now considered Wbf danger.

The attention of Hardware Dealers, Car and House Builders and owners is respectfully invited to the PATENT NEVER FAILING SELF-LOCKING

"WINDOW PAST."

This is decidedly the best and most important invention of modern times. Its simplicity and wonderful adaption both for HOUSE and CAR WINDOWS is perfectly astonishin accomplishing everything that can possibly be desired, and yet being cheaper than any other window fast. For house windows it dispenses with weights and pullys, operating equally well on top and bottom sash, allowing either to be raisea or lowered as much or little as wished to secure ventilation,and yet be locked securely at every point, from the intruder or burglar, and will never get out of order. It has the peculiar element of locking itself in whatever position you leave it.a For steam or horse car windows they are finished in a variety of styles, making an elegant finish.to the oar windows, and the only arrangement ever introduced that oan never fail.

The House Fasts for sale by all Hardware Dealers. Liberal inducements to Agents.— Send for descriptive circulars and prices, &c.
