HMtrakl Exiled The Lincoln AdminUtratiou have finally got rid of a trub!aBK customet Caul 3chi u is beatahed to Pobtvual where be can do no harm to the Governi l. At that Court the; eis next to nothing to do, end Mr. Skwabd has got the ri ght nan ia the rtt place. We notice that some of Republican press are compUing that the Rapobüean pert have leet the service of Sen um for the next four years, but in the loss te hove the gratification to know there is a on open sarion. for tboj will save thereby a good saay four hundred dollars foe the labors of this dMaiorestod lit-iBs.. of " freed om." Mlf-stacrtfictw-x Patriots. The Washiogtoo oorrtopoodeat of the Journal pitched into Cam. 8carmx rerr severely a lew devs ago, charging that he was paid at the rate of $400 per n ook for his service during the last can rasa, and indignantly repelling the idea that "glorious old Cash. Clat, who has fought the common foe without por for forty years" should be pushed aside for a mercenary like Sen rax Another corrospondesit of the Journal justifies äcarns ou the gronnd that "the laborer is worthy of hi hire,'' nod goes on to state that he "Amours th..t Mr. Clat received from fifty to one hundred dollars each for the speeches delivered him by in this region of our State." So "glorious old Cah. Clav," it appears, has not fought the common foe without pay for for forty year., but has olso been well paid for his disinterested services on behalf of freedom! W here the Biff (-retire. The Kepoblieane denounced General Twioos as a traitor, an Aixold, for having surrendered his roeaeaartd to a superior force of Texan, thus siting them from wholesale butchery. What loe.i old Abk do under circumstances similar, but io comparison favorable to General Twioos? As Commander in Chief of tbo American Army and A ivy, with its whole torce at his disposal, he urrenders Fort Sumter to the "rebels" of the South era Confederacy? If General Twioos is a traitor for having yielded, surrendered, when resistance would have resulted in the total destruction of the force under his command, is old Abe any less a recreant, or traitor, for the surrender of Fort Sum'.er and the control of the Government property n Charleston harbor? Is there any excuse that ill justify President Lincoln in his official conduct that will not apply with equal force to i lerier.il Twita7 We say "what is sauce for the goose Limcolsj is sauce for the gauder" ToiPQjaO Krpublirun Legislation. Some of the Republican papers have raised quite a bowl over the contemplate 1 legislation of Fome ot the Southern States in reference to the collection of debts. If they will look nearer home, they will find enough of that kind of legislation to denounce. For instance that staunch Republican sheet, the Chicago Tribune, thus denounces the legislation of the Republican Legislature of Wisconsin: Wincoxsix Fash Mortgages The Legisla ture of Wis -on -tin Ii is passed the bill politely de nomiti ite I "an act concerning the proceedings in conn in certiin eases," to impair the obligation of contracts m ide and entered into by farm mortgagors. Th it the bill violates the Constitution of the 3-ite in particulars is abundantly shown, by the minoritv report of the select committee of the Assemblv to which it was referred. That it I . " t r , , -.1. violates the comm. uiest principles of public taith and public policv. is apparent uront to everv man not I totally devoid of private faith and utterly ignorant cf the laws governing capital and afTecting the prosperity of the States. Under the te ichings of the new school of Schckz and his fellows, it ie not surprising that constitutions are held in contempt. Thev believe in the "higher law." What though the Constitution of Wisconsin declares that "no tx pott facto hws, cr laws impairing the obligation of contracts, shall te peeved by tle -:'ature." they care nothing for constitutum. Tue re 1 ru e of anarchy is their dominant idea, and the will of the pre sen t majority, regardless of constitutions and lie rights of the minority, their law. They are W re tained, wherever they have the power, to force npon the minority their agragrian dogm is and anarchie:il rules. Republican Franoni). The Republicans are a very economical party before the election. They are great on reform and retrenchment then. Lot us see how well they tick to the "text" afier election. The last Congress appropriated $25,000 to refurnish the White-house for old Abk, and we notice that there is quite an animated contest going on for the job. Old Abk will have a grand time of it! The tniguificeut lace curtains, elegant sofas, lounges, chairs, etageree and costly carpets, bought only four years ago, and which are almost as good as new, save in the east room, where the carpet is slightly worn, are not fine enough for a Republican President. All this costly furniture must be thrown aside, and twenty-five thousand dollars worth of new furniture purchased for the economical "hero" of the "prairie land" ! An J even in this State, where the Republicans of the last Legislature became so wonderfully economical that the refused to publish the agricultural re iorta of the State Board, or to recognize a purchase for $900 of the fence and house on the State military ground, made conditionally by the State Librarian, which had been heretofore occupied by the Board for its fairs, or to make them an appropriation of $5,000 to relieve them fronf indebtedness incurred for the purchase and improvement of the fair grounds, they could, however, while refusing appropriations in which the whole Slate was interested .appropriate $1,500 to purchase near furniture tor his Excellency, Governor Moaros ! They did more ; they raised the appropriation of the contingent fund from $3,000, the amount heretofore allowed, to $6,000, so that his Excellency might have plenty of money to draw on to refurnish his house, if the $1,530 was not enough to furnish it in a style suitable to his recherche Ua to ! In 159 the amount of the contingent fund expended was $1,679 87 ; in I860, $2,153 67. This was under a Democratic Administration. Under Republican economy for lfc61, $6,000 is appropriated. In 1p59 aad i860 $2,068 67 worth of furniture was bought for the Governor's house, bat still it is not elegant enough for our Republican Governor, and we have another appropriation of 1,500 for new furniture more suited to the refbied and polished ideas of hie Excellency, Qovmor Moiton ! Scoh is Republican economy after the election! Who was deceived '. ejiialin wittn (Sie "Rebels." It i reported that old Ast: has commenced ne gotia-.ions with the "rebels" of the Souüieru Confederacy and an armistice has been agreed upon between the high contracting parties for ten day. What a letting down ia this! But a few week) ago the Republican party, big and little, were denouncing Mr. Bi-chaxan for not arresting the Commissioners from South Carolina for high treason, and it premised that under a Republican ft ilmioietrntini n liters would be different. Weil they are. Mr BrcBaxa. refused to receive the Commissioners from the "rebels" and hold any communication with then, but Mr. Lincoln, the em'Adiment of the Chicago platform, receives the of Mr Davis with the most distin ation! Caa there be a deeper hu miliadon than this? A change has taken place with Mr. L15001.S. The " noise and confusion " is too great for him. He has evidently arrived at the conclusion that something is the matter; that somebody is hurt, and that the crisis is not an artificial one. "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." Wo hall not he surprised before many days to heer that Mr. Liscolx has concluded a treaty of SSBSty and peace with the " Confederate States of 5orth America " Thus tar the Administra tion of Mr. BvemawsN in all that relates to the present political difficulties of the country rises in m ignihVent proportions in comparison with that now CafBut little interest is taken by DelxeB At ... . 4 fM K- L Smith m the present rush for office, as they think their present crative Real Estate A.eucy offics enough for tbem.

We rind the aggre.sratc weights of an equal" number of hogs, at all the places from whence the weight was furnished, for both seasons, to be as follow: 160-1 TVs. 4T9.313.S30 1860-60 tts. 410,654,361 Increase this year Ih. 0,60.1,24 This is equal exactly to I4fc per cent., so that , by deducting the decrease in nuuilier per cent., ( from this, we have a net increase of 5?a tier cent ; as compared with the previous season. The crop then compares with some previous years, us folows 5 per cent, greater than 1850-60. do U"l BO 3J. do do do 1S57-S. The vield of lard per hog has been, generally, better than last ye ir. but notwithstanding this, , owing to the decre.se in the number of hogs packed, the increase in the quautity. as comp iled with last rOOr, is not as large SS might be at firs' , supposed." The following figures show the comparison and the result, being the aggregate yield I for each season, in pounds : 1 -60-l n ",i.-o4 .siO 00 -a-- 66.406,71 MIHI in Ib .540.226 The a v ernte yield er hog. this year, was 39 lbs., and last ve."ir2Sf4 lbs. As we have already dated, the net increase in the supply of hog product this season, a? coinpure! with last, is 5--. per cent., which is Sqoal to 135 ,393 hogs ; but then it must lie roooUoetod that a portion of this increase, equal to about 4 lbs. per hog. is in lard. ThegreU deticiencv this year is south of the Ohio river, and this deficiency is far greater and more important thin our statistics would indicate, because, in addition to the hogs packed at the regular places, in Kentucky and Tennessee a large number have been usually picked by firmer for their own use, and a considerable amount of this came to market. TWs StOSOl this h i-not been done in a large portion ob Kentucky, all Tenne-. see. ami we miv add Arkans.is ami a portion of Missouri, so that tlie-e sections, instead of having a surplus for export as heretofore, will have to buy largely to sup-ily their own use. thus greitly increisiiig the are to be supplied, and if we add to this the increased foreign demand, the wa" lu "c upi.u -nw --k - - cer than tor several tears ; imicvl looking at the 5 : . .. ; . . ,:'cw ' lMi wa u,e su one The crop of pork this season came upon a bare market and the consumption began at once, and so far. the quantity taken bf the Southern St ites has been largely in advance of other seasons. The shipment oi' pork from Iowa, Northern Ilii Mil and W isionsin, to the Knsieiii cities.

'1 here has leen also a large quantity shipped South from the line of the Illinois Central Riilw.iv; and from this city the shipments have bec largely in advance of last ye ir, as will be seen by referring to our bibles, and the stock now in this market, ofall articles, is much less than it was at this date last ye ir. From New York the exports of bacon and lard to foreign counties, from January 1st to March 10th, this year and last compare as follows: 1.161. ,.145.976 12.901 ,400 37.-'47.376 1-1.H75.744 1160. 8.699.744 3.G76.IHM) Baron, lbsLard, lbs... 12,37;.7s4 Increase 24,171,632 Here, then, we find that neirly twenty-five million pounds of the product of" the hog, thisse i son, has been exported from New York since January 1st, more than last season, and if we add ' the increase in the exports of December, w e find an idditional increase of three million BOOXBSS. There is, however, a decrease in the foreign export of brl. pork from that port, equal to two million pounds from the 1st of January, which should be deduc.tel. leaving the net iucre.ise about twenty six million pounds. It should be stated, in this connection, that a portion of bacon shipped to Liverpool this sea son, went by way of Portland, but what amount we can not say. There is no increase in the ex ports from the Atlantic ports. The following is a detailed statement of the packing in Indiana: ISSKSS. 4.012 2. von 4,000 . 1.-...MK . ia,oi7 .1,300 .
