Street letter-box stealing has began in Chicago. Frakck has no trouble in making a 3 per cent. loan. Austria has issued a decree against the American hog. Tejxessek is in a fair way to settle her financial troubles. Not a man that served on the Toland Committee stands a ghost of a chance to get an appointment under Garfield. So mistake, New York is the Empire State. She has three votes in the United Senate Conkling, Piatt and Arthur. fc'ix HC5DBID Massachusetts clergymen have called a Convention to deliberate upon an ironclad prohibition law, such as Kansas lots adopted. Americans are said to be a fast people, but not so fast as the innabitanta of Sidney, Australiafor when it is 12 m. here it is a quarter-past 3 the next morning there: Elackmailixg Congressmen is a regular business in Washington. One ioor fellow -complains through Forney's Chronicle that he had to pay $."0 when he was entirely innocent.

Thvrmaw and Sherman entered political life twenty years ago, both poor. Thurman retires, as poor as when he started. Sherman is worth $1,000.000. Thurman has had no dealings with the First National Haut of New York. There are G.577,151 colored people in the "United State?, or about 15.153 to each 100,000 whites. In South Carolina three-fifths of the population are colored, and in Louisiana and Mississippi from one-half to three-fifths are colored. Notwithstanding all the facts, Garfield did not select Bruce for a Cabinet officer. The probabilities for an extra session of Coiipresa increase. If it should be called, the Republicans will bo in a minority in the House until the vacant seafe of Messrs. Frye and Conger are filled. On the 18th inst. the innate was privately polled on the subject, and the result was a vote against it of all the Democrats and about twe -thirds of the Republicans. Secretary Blaise takes holdpf the American hog question very much after the style displayed when he bounced the third termism. In Grant and Conkling, Blaine easily discovered political trichina, and raised the alarm. As a result, Grant was branded dis-ei-H-d and unfit for Presidential m?at. Blaine's opinion of the American hog is more favorable. The Philadelphia Times is of the opinion that "the fortunate party in the Mahone trade is the party that has lost Mahone, and before a twelvemonth the Republican organs which are now deifying Mahone will de nounce his failing cause and decline all po litical fellowship with him." In which case, Mahone may have the good sense of Judas, and kill himself. Ix another column we give the voteof each County on each amendment as cast on the 14th of March. Dubois County cast majorities against all the amendments. Starke County gave Beven majority againtt Amend meni No. 1. The total vote on the amend jnents is 172,900. Only about 40 per c-nt. of the electors seem to have voted, taking the last vote tor Governor as a basis. The machinery for hanging men is very imperfect in South Carolina, as was shown a few days since when the sentence of the Court was brought to bear upon the neck of a culprit. When the trap was sprung the halter broke, and the miserable wretch fell to the ground writhing in agony. He was taken up and compelled to wait on the scaffold until a new rcpe'was procured from an adjacent hardware store. With the amount of hanging there is in this Christian land, the business should be done with decency and dispatch. Carlvle, in his reminiscences, sayshesaw in one of the mourning coaches at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington an official dignitary reading a newspaper. Mr. George Augustus Sala writes to the Lo . don Times that Carlyle must have been mistaken, and rdils: "I hope that I shall not ho thought obtrusive in endeavoring to clear away what I imagine to have been a misconception on the part of the eye-witness at Bath House. Nothing, I conceive, is trivial which concerni the life and death of Arthur, Duke of Wellington and Prince of Waterloo, and it would be a pity if in a book like the Reminiscences of Mr. Carlyle, which will live, there went down uncommented upon to posterity a statement calculated to favor the inference that any 'official or dignitary who took part in a most solemn and impressive pageant could be guilty of an act of irreverence to the membry of the illustrious dead." Carlyle was, doubtless, correct.

The funeraj ot the Duke was a magnificent spectacle, no doubt, bat it U not improbable

that some of the mourning coaches contained persons who '.thought more of the news than they did of the funeral. THIS NATIONAL BANK RAID ON CONGRESS. The defeat of the refunding bill, passed by a Democratic Congress and finally de feated by the National Banks through the agency of R. B. Hayes, the perjury-made President, was in all of its parts one of the most infamous outrages ever perpetrated in this or any other country. The simple purpose of the refunding bill was to reduce the burdens of taxation $15,00', 000 a year by reducing the interest on the public debt that amount This proposition was fought all the way through by Republicans; still they could not succeed. The bill passed, but it did not become a law, and the tax was not reduced. Congress was deaf to. the appeals of the banks. It maintained its in dependence. It was proof against bank bulldzing. Not so with Haj es, and now the more the matter is examined the more infamous does it appear. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican lets in a little light upon the nefarious transaction, and it is one that the people should thoroughly un derstand. The man who gave direction and force to the movement was H. C. Fahnestock, Vice President of the First National Bank of New York, and the man who has had more influence with the late administration of the Treasury Detriment than any other person in the country. The correspondent of the Republican ays: In his bank Mr. Moulton, Senator Sherman's brother-in-law, is a large stockholder, and the bank and all its shareholders owe the fortunes they have made through the bank to its connection with the liovernraeat. Its peculiar relations with the Government have ofteu been comment ed on in the newspapers, but the figures taken from the reports of the Comptroller of the Cur rency will give a clear idea of how much profit those relations have been, and how llnely John Sherman has stood by this tetted corporation. The First National was the lending bank of the Syndicate which placed the 4 per cent. loan. It has a capital of föOO.000. not tw-ing one of the large stocked banks of New York City. Its commission for i he sale of the 4s amounted to about 5100,000. The statement In the Comptroller's report khows an entirely unique character of business, resting as it docs ou Government transac tions, Although its capital is only S.XtO.OOO, its resources last year were t20,43'.,CW.80. This figure is four times as large as the bank in New York with the same capital having the next largest amount of resources, and five or six times larger than some banks having equal cap ital. It is from one to twelve millions more than the resources of any bank in the city having twice the capital. Only seven banks exceed it, as follows: Capital. National Park Bank ,uuo.uou National llank of Commerce.. 5.0U0.000 Resources. S.'4,M6,5.'4 26.-J32.760 20,,711 31,442.144 22,3S.7tlö Metropolitan National liank.. 3,000,000 Importers' and Traders' National Hanl l.ISOO.OOO Bank of New York 2 000,000 American Exchange National Bank 5.000,000 21.331.051 Fourth National Bank - 3,-JOO.OOO 29.M1.916 Only one other bank In the city, the National Bank of Commerce, which has $5,000,000, has the large surplus of 82,000,000. This represents an increase of the wealth of the owners of the First National Bank by 400 per ceut., In addition to the dividends which have been declared. In one year, from 1379 to 15W0, this surplus just doubled. Banks with twice the capital are content to count their stored up surplus by the hundred thousand. Banks with tour times the capital have a little more than a fifth of the surplus of the First National. Here we have the same old story of Sher man's pet bank. It has grown fabulously rich ofT of Government spoils, and was finally able, by the profuse use of its wealth, to defeat the expressed will of Congresä in a matter of vital imjortance to the people. If such transactions do not alarm the people, and make them demand that the power of vast corporations shall be abridged, then it way be set down as a fact that they will run this Government. The pork scare is one of the most important events that has transpired in commercial circles for some time past Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, is taking a hand in the business, and the British Embassador, Sir Henry Thornton, does not regard the subject too plebeian for his semi-royal pen. The American hog has rooted an entrance to the Council Chambers of Diplomats, and gained a recognition which Seaks well for his com mercial importance. As might be supposed, Chicago bristles tip on the subject, and is quick to prepare statements, official and semi official, with regard to the swine family of the Sucker State. In a recent report, the Chicago Board of Trade says: The Tax Assessors and Department of Agriculture agree that 1879 arid 183 were exceptionally healthy years. The most authentic figures are as follows: I PerDeaths. Rentage. I 76 1M77 17H 1S7 lH-)0 1 V)2.a' i 474.7.: 17 12 14 6 7 182,577t 227.2Ö9The Board of Trade Committee mentions as a peculiarity of the reports that whether a hog dies of hunger, thirst, lung disease, exposure or of cold, cholera is always named as the agent. This is due to lamentable ignorance among farmers as to the symptoms of hog diseases. In view of these there is very little occasion to question the healthy condition of mature hogs when ready for market, and the Increased health of the animals is due to the better care taken of them of late years. There is no trichinosis whatever. It is not probable that the hog scare will continue for any considerable length of time, and one good effect is likely to result: Federal and State Governments will be induced to pay more attention to the diseases of domestic animals, and the great importance of the subject will be impressed uion farmers and provision dealers. The number of swine in the United States. January, 1879, is set down at 34.706,100 by the Department of Agriculture. Of these the Western pork packing States are credited with 15,725,200, as follows: States. No. Hons.

Things have gone too far to cover up facts. They have been widely circulated in reports issued by

authority of the States and by Federal of

ficials. What Is now wanted 1 for the) United States Government to show European Governmectr that measures have been adopted to prevent the slaughter of diseased hogs, and American consumers are quite as much interested as are the people of foreign countries. Toe-re were in all fifty colored people at the inauguration ball. "Among the nuiu ber," says a Washington letter, "were ex Senator Bruce, ex-Governor and would-be Senator Finchback, Robert Elliott, once a Member of the llouwe from Louisiana; Robert Harlan, , of Cincinnati, who follows running racing meetings for a living and b known to all horsemen, and three or four other colored men who are less known, em ployes of the Government in this city. Each was accompanied by his lady friends. As it appeared to them that they were not being treated as well as they should be, they formed a little party of their own and made up a et for the first dance, a lancers, about twenty feet from where the Presidental set would have danced had Mr. Garfield consented to take iart. There they remained all the evening, taking part in every square dance that was on the programme. Some of the younger of the party all of whom were mullattoes except Elliott and his wife and one little black barber named Elsworth. who works in one of the hotels here essayed to dance the racquet, but somehow they did not seem to 'grab the motion,' and could not make a success of it. Pinch back busied himself escorting his wife around. She is nearly white, and. like Mrs. Bruce, is a remarkably fine-looking woman. Both are well-educated and have an intense weakness for diamonds, as docs Pinchback, who wears a $5,000 'spark' in his shirt-front." There was a fine opening at the inaugural ball for President Garfield and his representatives to have done the handsome thing by the colored people in the way of recognition. The President,. if he did not choose to dance a Highland tling, a hornpipe or a jig, could have invited Mrs. Bruce or Mrs. Pinchback to promenade with him. He could have set the example, which would have been followed by other distinguished Republicans. Secretary Blaiac could have limped around with the wife of the colored barber, while Secretary Hunt could have hobnobbed with the wife of an ex-Congressman. Nothing of the sort was done. The colored Republic ans saw the hollowness of Republican pro fessions, and danced by themselves. Ir the Constitutional Amendments shall be declared constitutionally adopted, which a great many good people, including many eminent lawyers, do not believe, the law en acted in pursuance of the registration amendment, will have to create the regis tration officials. There will have to be one for every Precinct. Will they be elected or appointed? If these registration officials are corrupt men, they can fix up more fraud in one day than the Courts could investigate in a year. What guarantees are the people to have that they will not be the satellites of the "bosses?1 Simply their oath? In numerous instances it might not be worth a baubee. What penalties are to be inflicted if they betray their trusts? Who will be appointed or elected to watch rascals and detect rascality? Who, on the face of God's earth, believes that Republican registration officials would register a majority of Democrats, if by any possibility it could be avoided? There are 1,011 Townships in the State. Say there are an average of two Precincts to a Township, we have 2,022 registration officials. How many days are they to attend to the duties of their office? Suppose a citizen is sick or away on business during registration days, will the law be made so that they can register on election day? Will the law-makers please look into this subject. Thk Philadelphia Times (Ind.) predicts the downfall of Mahone at an early day. It says: Mahone is not to be blamed for his part in the Senatorial dicker any more than a spurned bandit should be blamed for accepting shelter and protection from those who can give it. He rets offices for bis dependent repudiators; he gets vengeance against every able ana reputable Democrat ; he gets high rank on Committees and he will bask in the sunshine of Republican favor for a very brief season. True, his tiiumrh will be of short duration. The Republicans of the Nation will not permit the Administration to enlist under the banner of repudiation in Virginia; the Republicans of the Senate will revolt against thtir own dimgwee before one session of Cougress is over, and he will be deserted by Adminis tration, Senate and organs as soon as he can be kicked overheard with safety. He has cheated Virginia, cheated the Democratic party, with which he once acted as an honest debt-payer; he has cheated the Republicans of the Senate by giving them the least for the most that has ever passed in a political compact, and he will finally cheat himself out of all trust and friendship until even his own self-conceit will recoil upon him. It Is quite possible that the loss of Mahone will prove a Democratic gain in the long run. There is neither honor nor gain in nursing a bad breed of puppies.. Those wl o would comprehend the full measure of moral reformation which pro hibition has secured for MaiDe may learn something from Neal Dow's account of how the liquor trade is carried on in Portland. He says the "dealers have their liquor in a pint bottle or two in the coat pocket, or a tin case made to fit the body, worn under the coat, with a quart ot whisky ; or half a dozen Hat half-pint bottles hidden in the cooking-stove, or a tin case built into the carpentry under the stairs, or a barrel of beer under the hog-pen floor or under a manure hcao." Evidently, Maine is not converted to Neal Dowism yet We are glad to welcome back once again to the presset the State Hon. Dan McDonald Two years ago he sold out the Plymouth Democrat, but recently took once again editorial charge of the same paier. Mr. McDonald is one of the best-known citizens of Northern Indiana popular, capable and reliable, and we have no doubt that the Plymouth Democrat will be kept in her wonted position, abreast of the best State papers. I Italy the lottery businw is carried on to an extent which contributes largely to the revenues of the Kingdom. In a recent issue of the Weiner Allgemeine Zeitung it is stated that, not counting the Island of Sardinia, the lotterr of 1879 brought no less than 67,513,200 lire into the Treasury, a lire

being about 19 cents-oar money. The total

amount of prizes was 32,614,126 ifre, and the rift income to the Government 2,721,613 lire. The sixty-seven chief provincfal towns, with 629 lottery offices and av population of 4,019,420 inhabitants, caused the enormous sum of 43,031,814 lire to flow into the Treasury. The rural district, with 1,102 offices, and 22,143,074 inhabitants, contributed 21,461.454 lire; in other words, the population of the chief provincial towns iaid a voluntary tax of 10 lire 71 centesimi per capita, that of the rural districts only 1 lire 11 centesimi, making an average of 2 lire 58 centesimi for every Italian subject of either sex. If there were no laws in the United States prohibiting lotteries, or if the Government would tolerate them and tax them at the same time, statistics would show that here the people would willingly be taxed quite as heavily a in Italy. To take risks is a human failing by no means peculiar to Italy. The exact facts with- regard to Windom, as reported, by unexceptionable authority, are that "Mr. Blaine controls Windom; Mr. Sherman owns Windom, and had him put in the Treasury in order that he might man age the Nation's finances four years longer through a deputy; Mr. . Garfield appointed Windom as a nobody, because the President wants to be his own Secretary of the Treas ury, borne enterprising reporter ought to interview Windom, or, in Senate parlance, "uncove-" him. M. DxLksseps is not having a pleasant time of it with his Panama Canal, and after spending several millions, may have to abandon his scheme altogether. Lessetxs is credited with a large amount of pluck, but be is encountering troubles which he did not anticipate, besides, it is not believed that he can raise enough money to finish the job. If Lesseps tails, the probabilities are that it will be largely attributed to American jealousies. The New York Legislature has done an exceedingly wise tiling in passing a bill forbidding the use of oleomargarine on hotel or boarding-house tables, unless a placard Kteted in a conspicuous place warns the guests that the so-called delectable mixture is served instead of butter. Now, why can't the Indiana Legislature do some law-making in the same direction? There will only be 1.454 more dam of Garfield's Administration. Let the Lemocracy bear this in mind and keep a stiff upper Hp. Poet-Dispatch. What Democrats w,ill do is not the ques tion. The great questions before the country are: Will Garfield have wine on his din ner table, and who owns Windom? Knuland is getting quiet on the Ameri can hog question. She imports 700,000,000 pounds of American hog products annually, and for six years pat not a single well-de-veloied case of trichinosis has been retried in that country. The Boston Globe repeats the. opinion of a Republican that the secret of Blaine's suc cess is Iiis "long memory for names and deeds," and adds that "we have a man here in Boston, whose name is Mulligan, with a memory that beats Blaine's all out."

Mrs. Windom is a dignified matronly woman, dressing usually in black silk or satin. Mrs. Garfield Is mentioned as having a sincere and kindly manner, which greatly pleases her visitors. She is at ouce unpretentious and self-possessed. Her dress at her first White House reception last Saturday was a ricn winecolored velvet.

A Philadelphia special of the 20th, to the Commercial, gives the scope of a gigantic scheme to ran a sliip- canal tArougX the State of Florida: Now that the Philadelphia capitalists who are about to reclaim the Immense tract of land in the Btate of Florida known as the Kverglades have completed their contract with that State, It is no longer a secret that one- of the .main features of the gigantic scheme te the buildriig of a ship canal acrocs the Suite of Florida. This project is almost equal in importance to that of reclaiming the 12.0u0.000 acres of the richest land in the world south of the frost-belt. A ship canal across the State of Florida has been the dream of engineers for many years. It would not only shorten the distance between the American ports on the Atlantic Coast and all European ports to New Orleans, Mobile and all shipping points on the Gulf of Mexico, but it would avoid' the- dangers to navigation which are exerienced on the countless keys and coral reefa ofT the southern and southwestern coast of Florida. All ship Captains know of this danger, which li often aggravated by hurricanes, which are common to the southward of Florida, but which are comparatively unknown on the west coast, in the region of Tampa Bay. It is well known that a number of New York capitalists have been endeavoring for some vears to get a charter from the State of Florida to build a ship canal, but the Philadelphia Company, with a freat deal of shrewdntss, has got ahead of them, n connection with the Isthmus Canal, now in the course of construction under M.Ferdinand DeLem'ps, the Florida Canal must at once attract the attention of the capitalists not only of America, but of tu rope. A liage IUuaUei, In respect to an extra toaoa ot Congress a Washington ?i erfal-tays:. In all the talk about a called session that is now ao current in political circles in Washington, one fails to find any who really bel'eve that a called session will be anything but a huge blunder. Republicans now regard Mr. Hayes' veto as a great mistake, and the next among them fail to ee how a special aession could remedy that blunder. Jt is all nonsense to talk about au extra session being able to get through with, a funding bill and adjourn within five or six. weeks, aa baa been claimed by some of theadvoeatea of a special seaslon. In the first place,, it will probably take three weeks to organize the House. The new Speaker will be an inexperienced man. and it will take him at least that time to make up his Commltteees, even if the- Republican officers of the House are elected without much opposition. Then the new Houae, made- us largely of inexperienced members, will be very unwieldly and impossible to control. The new members who have their gripsacks filled with bills could not be repressed. If a special seatsiiiu i called it will certainly be here during a greater part of the summer. There is not a business man in the country who desires to sou Cougress in session before next winter. Tho whole movement is confined entirely to the politicians, who think that the failure to pass the funding bill will lose the Republicans some oi: tha clone Northern States iu the coming election. There U nothing more certain than the fact that if. the Republicans had Congress here now. they oould pass no measure of legislation objectionable to. tk Democrats. This whole question of a called seskiou will be decided positively this week. The betting odds now are in its favor. Lee's Swiea-d. A Washington speclaLsays: A Virginia gentleman has written to General Grant asking if It is true that General Lee offered him (Grant) i hla sword at Appomatox, and it was declined. To the kaquiry General Grant replies aa follows: General Badeau's. book will give the exact truth of the matter, referred to In this letter. There was no demaudimade for General Lee's sword, and no tcndero it made. U. S. Grant." ' Employment of Women.
