W/ Curry, Secretary of State,” for a copy of his annual report—a very interesting and well-arranged document. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS were held in Pennsyl%ani:t last 'ruesduy. The MDemocrats were successful in the cities. of Reading, Altoona, Wilkesbarre, Williamsport and Allentown, while the Republicaus triumphed in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Easton. Tur World predicts that Connecti- - eut will re-elect Goy. Ingersoll by increased majorities, and elect a Legislature which will send to the U. & ~Senate a democratic suceessor to Sen~ ator Buekingham. Tllis would be a glorious achievement, especially if that successor should happen to be exGov. James E. English.: '

THE COMMITTEE to investigate the District of Columbia frauds has once more been 'reeonstructed. It now consists of Senators Boutwell, 7hurman and Allison,' and of Representatives Wildon, of Indiana, Hubbell, of Michigan, Jewett, of Ohio, Hamilton, of New Jersey, and Bass, of New York —five Republicans and three Democrats,” : ¢

IHEeRE +is a - little picture, dmwfln fronr the system of taxation in South C‘arolina: “There is a traet of land in Charleston county which paid for State and county taxin 1867, $4.50; in 1868,. $5.25; in 1869, $26.32; in 1870,

$89.48; in 1872, $41.92. This year it is charged with $114.30, although it is offered for sale for ‘s6oo. This is a tax of 19 per cent. on the full value of property. Think! i ‘

;"l,‘ma COLORED. GENTLEMEN Wwho constitute a majority of the Mississippi Legislature have passed a resolution requesting U. S. Senator Alcorn’ to resign. The reason for this is that Alcorn exercised the right 6f running as an independent candidate for Governor, against the carpet-bagger Ames, and that the darkies have an undue anxiety to elect another of their own color in Alcorn’s place. .

DURING a recent discussion in Congress it leaked out that the government has been paying $200,000 per annum “on account of the moth and mildew process of Geo. A. Cowles,”— that is to say, the government has kept in its \\;a‘f'é:hm}ses‘SOo,o(J()‘g:u'ments for its 30,000 sdldiers, and in order to Keep these garments from being eaten by the moths, Unecle Sam jnugnzminmusly appropriates $200,000 ‘a year for L\lr. Cowles’ patent solution!

~ IT 18 BROADLY HINTED by the Chicago Tribmie that at_the‘ next election in Tllinois the contest will be between the Farmers’ Clubs and the irepublican party, and that there will be no third '(or democr:xtic) 'ticket in the field. The President and Secretary of the Farmers’ jAssociation—W., C. Flagg and S. M. Smith—are organizing their forces and hope to be able to secure the co-operation of the Grangers in their individual capacity. Ar’ majority -of the delrym‘a_t-ic press of Illinois seems to be favorable to such an arrangement.

41 will be remembered that the M:Sssachusetts Legislature, . a little over a year ago, ‘passed a resolution

censuring Senator Sumner for proposl ing the 0111issi01f of the names of battle fields from the army register, in order to prevent the ‘events of our late “unpleasantiess” from being continually brought to motice. The excitement attending the Presidential contest having measurably subsided, and the motives of Mr. Sumner being better understood, the Massachusetts Legislature has sensibly expunged the resolution of censure by décisive majorities. ‘ o |

PHILADELPHIA last Tuesday veelected Mayor Stokeley by about .10,000 majority over Col. Alex. K. Mec-C}in-e3 the independent Reform candidate. Stokeley had the support of the republican party machinery and a formidable army of office-holders who spent their money freely to retatnpossession :of the city government. The one't]'\ousand policemen were each assessed $2O to raise a corruption fund. Col. McClure was supported by the better clas,:; of citizens, but these have long since become powerless in “the city of brotherly love.” With the exception of Forney’s Press and a few unimportant publications, the press advocated Stfikeley’s re-election. Money makes the mare go, so the saying goes.

Tne pEBT of poor South Carolina has been increased $23,000,000 since 1866, 1. e. since the State passed under the control of radical negroes and car-pet-baggers. There is absolutely nothing to show for this vast outlay of the people’s money, so far as the State is concerned ; but the officers who are - running the government machine have ‘Teaped immense benefits.. Gov. Scott, an Adventurer from Ohio, for example, . saved enough from his salary of $3,- . 500 to buy one of the finest places in " Columbia and to form a fund, the in- .- terest of which supports him in luxury. His successor, a sharp little “sheep - cloding man” from New York, named Moses, seems to be doing still better. He spends $lOO,OOO out of his salary of $3,500, and has invested a part of the residue in a palatial mansion, furnished with 11 the magiificence of an eastern prince. Others of the officeholding gentry are building elegant ' blocks with their enormous stealings. At this rate it will not be long ere ~ these fellows will own every foot of ground in that beautifully reconstructed commonwealth. Senator Thurman opposes inflation

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. | The Springfield (Mass.) Republican | suggests the name of' Hon. Charles Francis Adams for President, and the Chicago 7T7ibune seems to be favorably impressed with the suggestion.— The Cincinnati Commercial some time since ' advocated the claims of Hon. Elihu Washburn, our present Minister to France. A number of Democratic journals strongly urge Senator Thurman as the most suitable statesman for that position, while the Goshen Democrat recently proposed Gov. Hendricks as the man whom all op- \ ponents of the administration party | could cordially support. W. C. Flagg, of Illinois, is oecasionally named as the Farmers’ candidate, and the Revenue Reformers point to lon. W. S. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, as superior to all others. Then, again, comes’ the Chicago T'ribune with a yYeminder that “those who are making up their jew“els for 1876, cannot safely lcave out “of their reckoning the name of Goy. “Booth, of California. This is a large “country, and Gov. Booth may not be “well enough known as yet to warrant “any party in risking the chances up- | “on him, but the prestige he has acquired in his notable and successful “fight against a tyrannical and hitherto “invineible monopoly is a not unim“portant c()nh;iderat{ion ~at this junectNire’ :

For ouyr paft we are free to confess

that w'lf‘fie, from our present view of the situaLic}n, we could occord some of the gentlemen above named a very cordial support, we deem it entirely too early tourge the “claims” of particular favorites for the chief magistracy..An honest effort to create a soundpublic sentfinent will be calculated to do more good than the premature *hoosting up” of Presidential candidates.

‘ THE NATIONAL GRANGE. - On the first page we publish the declaration of purposes and principlefi' adopted by the National Grarige. The telegraphic report gives, evidence_s of annoying blunders by the operatér, thus detracting ‘materially from the literary merits of the document; yet it must/be conceded that it is indeed a 'master-pieée of politeo-economical literature. We are ' therein informed that the Grangers mean to cooperate - for their mutual advancement in every way—morally, socially, and industridusly. They propose to meet together, talk together, work toéethér, buy together, sell together, act together,—in short, do about everything together, except vote together. YVery sensibly, evei'y Patron is left free to act with: imy party that he thinks will best carry out his political ideas. They take pains to disown anything like hostility to middlemen or to railroads, but tliey will not have a ‘surplus of the former nor submit to any monopoly by the latter. There is a plea forbducation_ofa practical sort’ in agricultural colleges. The women of the country and their friends have not failed to notice that women have ‘faken part in the deliberations and the committee work of the Grange, and the declaration closes with a pledge that has more promise in it for the rights of woman than any other thing that has béen said or done in her behalf in America. This, as the Chicago Tribune observes, will not be considered extravagant when it is remembered that the Grange, ahich thus ad‘mits woman into membership and position, and binds itself to inculcate a proper appreciation of her sphere and abilities, has a larger constituency than any other non-political organization in the counfry. - .

DAWES’ SPEECH,

Advices from Washington are to the effect that the severe arraignment of the republican party by Hon. Henry L. Dawes has created a decided sensation and excited no little alarm in administration cireles. It will be remembered that Mr. Dawes, on two former occasions, presented some very unpalatable facts which, coupled with his recent utterances, is cited as an evidence of that gentleman’s “morbid desire to create a sensation and startle the country.” His political associates very freely denounce him for “stirring up a muss” in the household. They say Mr. Dawes “does this every. year, and it is always the hardest “thing .we have to answer on the “stump. We shall have to meet and “answer this speech next fall.” A few members seem to be disposed to back up Mr. Dawes, and stick by him in his assaults on the policy of the government. But the members who are not sure of their districts are intensely stirred up by his sweeping statements, and lament the making of them. No matter how well the Massachusetts gentleman may hafi'e been justified, the politicians deem all such candid expressions rank treason.— The free and independent voters, however, will thank Mr. Dawes for the manly stand he has taken in exposing the extravagance and profligacy of an unscrupulous portisan majority.

THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADE,

The telegraphic-columns of the daily papers teem with accounts of the female crusade against the liquor traffic. Detailed statements from southwestern Ohio make it appear that about eight out of 140 places where liquor was sold have been closed since the beginning of the tem perarnce movement. The reports come from fourteen towns and villages. At Logan, Leesburg, New Vienna, Washington, and Blanchester a complete victory has been gained. The ladies now besiege the State-house at Columbus, ‘praying that the Legislature lend a helping hand to completely crush the liquor traffic.. The larger towns and cities are not so easily captured; indeed, the crusade seems to make but little progress in such localities. A ~vigorous effort is being made-to extend the raid imto Indiana. Shelbyville, Muncie, Cambridge City, Logans_port, and Jeffersonville have been gelected as starting points. Meetings ~are daily being held in these places ‘and a number of saloons have already ‘guccumbed, :

CHAPTER ON GOVERNMENT EXPENSES, | - Hon. Henry L. Dawes, a distinguished republican member of Congress from Massachusetts, is chairman of the committee of Ways and Means. Occupying so important a position, he ~may be presumed to have. a yery accurate knowledge of governmental expenses and the financial condition of the country generally.! A statement of facts from such a source will naturally be read with much interest and must necessarily attract the attention of all who do not wholly ignore financial studies. e i On the 12th inst., Mr. Dawes deliyéred an able and very candid speech on the embarrassed condition of the treasury and the proper mode of obtaining relief. Ie showed that the beginning of the fiscal year 1873-74, | there was in the treasury over $131,000,000. Deducting what was due on «call, the available sum 'July 1, 1873. L was $60,000,000, of which over $4B- - gw'gis in coin. The réceipts from July'to Feb. I,.and the estimated receipts to June 30, 1874, were $281,000,000. The expmiditures made and authorized for which the Governmernt is ligble amount to $3903,000,000.° The resources, including the cash balance at the beginning of the year, are - but 55:341,000,"()00, leaving a probable deficit of $52,000,000 on July 1, 1874. Included in'these demands standing against the treasury are sundry balances of appropriations made several years ago, and of these perhaps $%72,000,000 would not be called for. Assuming this, the actual cash 'balance in July next wbuld be $21,000,000.— Even :at this ‘shi)wing, the Government would have $39,000,000 less money than at the be'g,inning of the year. It would, in fact, be still worse off. There were several deficiencies | for the present year, amounting to not less than $9,600,000, leaving the actual cash balance at the close of the year about $10,000,000. Thisstatement did not include any part of the $44,000,000 of treasury notes which the Secretary ‘had issued. The responsibility for this condition of things, Mr. Dawes declared, was upon Congress. In May, 1872, Congress had repealed the tax on tea and coffee, causing a loss of revenue of $25,000,000, without the least advantage to consumers. At a Jater date it had repealed some other taxes, }by' which' $19,000,000 revenue had been lost, or, in all; a reduction of #44,000,000. -

The remedy for this embarrassed conditien of the treasury, Mr. Dawes declared, was to be found in one of three meagures,—by increase of taxation, by a loan, or lwhut@iu;g down expenditures. Tlle opposed increased taxation, declaring that there had never been an stance in the history of the Government ‘when, in time of | peace, new taxes have been imposed for the purpose of meeting cuirent ex- ‘ penses.. The country was emerging ‘ from a system of taxation made necessary by overwhelming necessity.~— From time to time those taxes have been reduced, and, while he had op-‘ posed the removal of the revenue tax on tea and coffee, he was not in favor of restoring them. The industries of the country are just lifting themselves up from the burden of past taxation, and out of a depression ux’xpzfmlleled for its suddenness and severity. = Ie was oppqsczl to renewing any tax already repealed, sé) longi as there was any-other remedy. . I[es<)pposed, also, the idea of a loan in time of peace, when there was no sudden demand on the treasury. Shall the United States advertise to the world that they have no means of meeting current expenses except by borrowing money? Shall they say to the people who are asked to purchase the nationial bonds, that the United States must borrow the money to pay the interest? - : Mr.. Dawes’s general statement of the expenditures_of the Government during the past four years was very striking. In 1870 he said we expended $309,000,000, and paid off $110,000,000 of the debt. In 1871 we expended $292,000,000 and paid off $94,000,000 of the debt. In 1872 we expended $277,000,000 and paid $99,000,000 of the debt. In/ 1873 the expenditures rose to $290,00‘0,000 and only $42,000,000 of the public debt was paid, while f(‘)rQ the present year $319,000,000 -were appropriated and we have paid none of the debt. : = It is:due to state in this connection that Mr. Garfield, in reply to the chair‘man of the committee of Ways and Means, showed pretty clearly that Mr. Dawes had included the sinking fund in his statement for 1873 and the present year, while he had left it out of his statement for the precéding years. Gen. Garfield stated that $27,000,000 of the present year’s figuies were a patrt of the permanent appropriation for the sinking fund, and $11,000,000 for deficiencies, and argued that the proper statement of the case would show that only about $272,000,000 were appropriated for the regular expenses of the present fiscal year. But this does not detract in the end from the general effectiveness of Mr. Dawes’s ;arraignment of the government, as he started out by showing the monstrous deficit which remains to be provided for. : ; [ : S oy

Mr. Dawes also referred to specific items where reform in expenditures might be made, including the abolition of thirty-six ports of entry, with their force of Collectors, Appraisers, etc., where the whole amount of revenue collected fell short of the officers.— The cost of collecting the customs revenue had increased from $4,000,000 in 1866, to $6,500,000 in 1870, and to over $8,000,000 in 1873. Another item of wasteful extravagance was the construction of public buildings, on which there had been expended, since 1865, the enormous sum of $108,000,0001— And yet President Grant recommended in his last message that in addition to all this the government erect buildings for the accommodation of our national legislators!

_THAT CHICAGO AIR LINE. ' The following editorial appeared in

Monday’s N. Y. World: | i - The Western .farmers have long } complained of the inadequacy of the | existing lines of railroad from Chicago | to the seaboard, which has precipitat- t ed a blockade and caused an advance | of rates every winter. They are now ‘ likely to reap a_ double advantage by ; the approaching c¢ompletion of the | Baltimore and Ohio’s extension from | Defiance to Chicago, whereby the sea+ | board will be brought 170 miles nearer, ; additional carrying facilities provided, and a healthful competition insured, thanks to the rivalry between King Seott and King Gasrett. This exten- | sion (which by the way is to be com- | pleted without the issue of any bonds or stock, a laudable departure from the common practice), with the acquisition of the Ohio and Mississippi outlet for St. Louis and the Southwest, .and the projected Chicago and South Atlantic air-line;: furnish three good reasons for refusing to charter any corporations like Mr. Logan’s, or building grand trunk lines with the nation’s money, like Mr. Windom'’s. Whatever enterprises are necessary: and profitable will be undertaken by private capital, and the power of the States isamply suflicient to exercise all needful econtrol and prevent all undesirable abuse, whether from. overcharges, 'coplbixmti()lls. or watering of stocks. | We can’t exactly understand that the completion of the B. & O.road obviates the necessity of constructing the road contemplated by Mr. Logan’s bill. An airline road which \\'L)lflil _bring us over one hundred miles near- | er the seaport than by any - other route, and built by a corporation properly restricked in its cl};u‘tor, would certainly be of inestin}ublo value to the producers of the West. With the constantly increasing - production of the West there is no immediate prob- | ability that two or thade additional through lines would suffer for want of patrenage. -

TAXATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The tax-payers of South Carolina, whose property is fast being absorbed by a system of plundering taxation, have been holding ;L':coxl\'exl_tioxx at Columbia. = The preéiding officer, Mr. Porter, showed in his address by facts and figures that, While "the taxable property had declined from $500.000,000 to $175,000,000, the taxes had risen from $400,000 to over $2,500,000. The people are virtually required to pay tweity times as much as before the war. The bonded debt is trebled, the amount of floating debt unknown, the Legislative expenses risen from $40,000 to $300,000, and the public prinfiing from $5,000 to $330,000. Resolutions were adopted for the appointment of: a standing co\'mmittee, and for the-appointmént of ‘a2 committee to take to‘\V:ishington & petition to Congress for a redress of grievances. Whether that body can or will-afford relief is a matter of considerable doubt. Our modern congressional solons are not noted for such acts of fairness and justice. To perpetuate party ascendency is to them a matter of greater importance.. | ; -

L s e @P—ANOTHER “ LIFE-LONG” REWARDED: - President Grant has rewarded another “life-long Democrat” whose “devotion to timc-hou,o_rea principles” would not permit him to \"nte for Horace Greeley. I'helucky man,in this instance, is one Thos. B. Searight, ot Fayette Co., Pa., whom the Democratshad previously elected to various offices of trust and honor. The slice awarded this gentleman is the surveyorship of Colorada territory. This is a very lucrative position and affords a splendid opportunity for acquiring a hand-some-fortune. 'The gentleman who formerly filled the office, Gen. Wm. Lessig, is said to have become the owner ofi,iztrg_e and valugble tracts of lands, and can well afford to abdicate in favor of another. : .

Tie above looses all its point when it is considered that removing the tax from tea and coffee failed to effect the least reduction in the prices of the same, and hence it is immaterial: to the taxpayers whether the tariff isoff or on, althotigh it is of some moment to the government: The editor of the BANNER knows this as well as anybody.—Elkhart Observer. .

We know that the price of coffee and tea declined after the repeal of the tax, and that the recent adya“nce is attributable to! certain official recommendations to. reinstate tlll.e duty. But this is not the point at w}xicli we were aiming. The question af issue is whether the people shall be taxed on their tea and coffee for the purpose of raising additional revenue to pay the increased salary of the President.— That’s the point, Mr. Observer.

Regulating Commeree Among the R States. ' “An important question came up in the House of Representatives on the 9th inst,, in the shape of a resolution defining the power of Congress in the regulation of commerce among the States. The resolution declares that Congress can so regulate commerce among the States as to proteet that portion of the internal commerce which is among the several States from all unjust or oppressive tolls, taxes, obstructions, or other burdens, whether imposed by railroad companies, by combinations thereof, or by other common carriers. The proposition strips the States of the power which | they have heretofore exercised on constitutional grounds .of regulating freights and tolls on their railroads and canals and removes farther than ever from the people the a.djustm'ent of a matter which they are vitally interested in keeping as near to themselves as possible. The resolution is 8o broad that it can be made to include gravel and plank toll roads as well as canals and railroads. 1t js proposed to invest Congress with such power as will enable it to remove ¢“all unjust and oppressive tolls, taxes,” ete. Gravel-roads would not be congidered common carriers, but their gole revenues are derived from tolls, and as the measure contemplates the protection of internal commerce from “oppressive tolls, taxes,” ete., there is no question but they are included in it. The bill is calculated to bring the federal power to the very doors of the people, anddefn'ive them of their community privileges as ‘sanctioned by State authority and prized as an ines< ‘timable boon, if not inalienable right. The resolution was passed by a vote of 124 to 64. Maj. Sayler and Mr. Niblack, of the Indiana delegation, voted against it.—Hundington Democrat.

~ Notes from the National Capital. - Secretary Richardson reports to the enate, in response to their inquiry, hat it will take four years to have silver enough eoined by the mints to replace the fractional curreney. ~ President Grant has appointed the Court of inquiry to try Gen. Howard.(Gen. Sherman is at its head, and associated with him are Gens. McDowell, ;‘g’opo, Meigs,” and Holt. Maj. A. B. Gardner is Advocate-General. The Court-Martial will begin March 3. | s . , ‘ Sénator Cameron’s plan for the ressumption. of specie payments is to inicrease the circulation of the National Banks. His substitute for Sherman's’ Redistribution Dbill, now before the' siSenate, proposes simply to repeal all L acts of Congress restricting the amount ' of notes for circulation, and establishes free banking. The National Bank notes, Senator Cameron thinks, would take the place of greenbacks. He knew no business man, he said, who thought the country had enough currency. The result of the introduction i of this measure was a virtual abani donment by Senator Sherman of his | bill, and a move to recommit it to the | Finance : Committee, in order that a 1-bill to cover the whole financial ques- | tion might be submitted to humor the | Senate, which seemed determined that | the debate should have that range.— | No vote was reached on the motion to I recommit., . L :

Secretary Richardson has furnished Congréss, on demand, some figures which tell a yery interesving story about the profits of theé Informer bus‘%iurss in New York and Boston. In he Phelps, Dodge & Co. case, Special Agent Jayne; who is the great organizer of the corps of spies and informers, received $65,718, dnd an equal sum went as “spoils” to the Collector, Naval. Officer,. and Surveyor of New York. In about three years and a half, beginning March 1, 1869, Special Agent Jayne has made slo3,oooin this honest industry. Col. Brank Howe, a ‘humble professor of the ignoble art, and two associates, got $£14,450. The total amount of revenue recovered in the 3,500 cases “spotted”. was $4,210,361, and of this sum the informers and Custom-House officers left only $1,914,746 for the National Treasury. In Boston they were still more greedy, and took the leonine share of $305,248, leaving Unele'Sam to .be content with saod 10l & " = o Senator Morton stated in the debate on the redistribution of the eurrency that he was in favor of:equalizing the currency by inereasing it by $80,000,000. He would not withdraw, the $25,000,000 'as proposed from New’ England, but would distribute ‘an extra supply, as above,'in the West and South. Senator Morrill said that he looked with infinite dread on any such scheme. Senator Morton said that even if inflation did cause speculation he favored it because he believed in speculation. Speculation had given us'3o,ooo miles of railroad. Yes; but as another member showed, fifty-eight of these railroads are unable to pay dividends. Again, Senator Morton argued that currency is like food. Ile holds that an abundance. of currency stimulates likelan abundance of food, forgetting that there may be bad currency as well as bad food, and that to stimulate business with paper currency is to act like the man who put green spectaeles on ‘his horse and fed him with shavings, and wondered that the creature died just as he was getting used to the diet. :

Indian Affairs.

There seems to be a general uprising of the Indians in Wyoming Territory. Two officers of the United States Army and an Indian -agent have been murdered, and the Indians have taken possession of the White Clay Agency. The Red Clay Agency has probably been burned. .

- A war with the Sioux Indians now seems inevitable. . Senator IHitchcock, ¢Gtov. Furnas, and other persons residing in Nebraska, called on the Secretary of War and Gen. Sherman on Saturday for the purpose of procuring arms for the citizens of that State and to urge theé immediate necessity of making preparations to meet the attack, | which, it 'is now genecrally admitted, } may occur at any moment; The military authorities at Omahp are doing* all that is possible in antipipation. of probable hostilities. =~ = -~ |

The hostile movements of the Indiais on the frontier, which have been repoited for the last few days, indicate, in Gen. Sheridan’s opinion, that a general outbreak of the Sioux is at hand. He has communicated this view to Gen. Sherman, who orders himfto repress the threatened disturbancé with all the force that hé can collect in his/ department, even if he has to go as far as Fort Repley for cavalry. Every savage that is caught off his reservation is to be held as an accomplice in the murders of Lieut. Robinson and Agent Appleton.

Judge Loughridge,” of the llouse Committee on Appropriations, has been investigating Indian affairs In connection with the Indian Appropriation bill, and finds that the number of red men existing in printed veports is about one-third, greater than those hunting buffalo and scalps on the plains. He claims that there are really but 10,000 Indians between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, whereas the last report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs claims 27,000. Similar frauds in other distriets have induced the Judge to reeommend the reduction of the appropriation by $1,500,000. = ‘

England is to have a sucecessor to Cardinal Wisemdn in the person of Archbishop Manning; but America, as usual, is to be ignored in the distribution of red hats and stockings: ' ITolman Hunt's ‘great picture, “The Shadow of Death,”- portraying Christ as the carpenter’s son, stretching his arms, after a days toil, at sunset, and thereby casting a shadow upon the wall which has the appearance of one crucified, has been purchased by Messrs, Angew, of London, for $52,500, while they hold it at a valuation OESIHOOO. 0.8 : ‘

Chang and Bng arve shown by the autopsy which was concluded on Tuesd}ty in Philadelphia to have been so vitally united that death would have followed any attempt toseparate them during life. The membrane which lines the abdomen was one in both, extending through the mysterious ligament that bound them together,— ‘This ligament was also connected with the liver and the heart of each. Count' de Veroins of France, who has been exdmining lands in Missouri, and other States for months past, hase, just closed the purchase of 40,000 acres. of land on the line of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, in Newton County, Mo., extending from Neosho to the border of the Indian Territory. The Count will erect four saw-mills, a school, chureh, and storeat once, and arrange as speedily as possible for ‘bringing out some 500 people from his, estate in France, and éstablish a colo-’ ny on these lands. In the meantifne, he will offer unusual inducements to American families to purchage farms and settle on this tract. : Biga

Astonishing revelations in regard to an -alledged distillers’ ring, operating establishments at St. Louis and Pekin, 111, are promised by a Washington torrespondent. It is said that it has been the practice of the combina‘tion to ship'whisky to the sea-beard ostensibly uz“’?ex-port; to Europe. Onece in New Y«jr’i{,‘ the barrels were emptied, refilled with-water, and sent across the ocean, while the whisky was repacked and distribtued over the coun-' try, the revenue tax thus being cleverly evaded. The amount of whieh the Government has been defrauded in this manner is estimated at $2,500,000 per year. It is not stated by the correspondent, even : approximated, how, long that sort of thing was going on. 5

Fanaticism, on the temperance question, is rampant in several towns of Ohio, = The women have undertaken to eorrect liguor selling, by acting as missionaries. © When a liquor seller refuses to shut his door to customers or open it to missionaries, the woinen repair to his house with their “Tabernacle.” * It is a small house on wheels, comfortably warmed and: lighted.— This ‘they pitch Wefore the encmy’s door-way, and sing and pray within it walls ad lib. At night, when thirsty mortals try to skulk stealthily into the saloon, the rays of a powerful reflector detect them.. They are personally appealed to, and if they still enter, are made objects of special prayers, which, delivered in fervent tones, ring through and through the bar-room. The “Tabernacle” ramains until midnight, and reappears bright and early' next morning. No man has yet been found who can resist it for three days. - . : s

Grange Matters.

- Inquiry at a large plow factory of 7. Cammins & Co., in Dixton, Illinois, shofws that the number of their ordelgifor plows and cultivators is fully equal to former years. This fact is advanced as evidence that the Grangers have not injured the trade of agricultural implement manufacturers so seriously as has been represented.

How rapidly the organization of the Farmers is proceeding may be learned from the January circular of the National Grange. Since the middle of December there was an increase of 1,566 Granges, and the whole mumber is now over 11,000. The largest increase took place in the farmer slave States, where 565 new Granges were formed, against 459 in the Western States. The national membership of the Granges now number 780,000. -

The platform adapted by the Na- l tional Grange at St. Louis is very generally eemmended by the Eastern | press. - The New York Evening Post says that it reads something like a new Sermon on the Mount. T'he nonpolitical character of the Grange is now pretty well understood. It has been declared by the National Grange that political questions cannot be even discussed in the meetings of thé order, but freedom of political action outside of the order is permitted and encouraged. s e ¢ GRANGERS - and most other people wiill be surprised that the National Grange has adjourned without any utterance on the Cheap Transportation. | question. If the Farmers” Movement | ‘has any definite purpose, any pressing need, it is to consider how the pro-] duets of Western agriculture may be | got more cheaply to the seaboard, but | the Supreme Council f the organiza- | tion has not a word to say théreon.— 1‘ The subject: was not introduced into | the deliberations of -the ~National; Grange until the last hour of its pro- } c¢éedings, and was theén postponed until the next annual meeting, on the %frpund ‘that the recommendations of the Committee on Transportation ‘were too specifie. The Grange then: '\:’%djnfirxfed’ for the year.—Chicago Triune. 3 ke g o
