il should he settled by reference only 10 auincnl'c
and original documents. Such documents are
now before the State Department in this city, ana
al 4 proper time and before long, they VIII &c
made public. They will show, il am not mnch
misntormed. that the result of British interlrf-
ence has been disastrous and thrown some as
credit upon its object.
Mr. A. Edwards, US. Consul at Rio de janet

from Mr. Wise, in relation ~ inc hi'e"' N

can't J, denlorablc piclure of the extent and MISE

which have resulted from British interference
These documents 20 10 show, that the system

British naval officers, at the expense OF IN

Africans are stolen by British connivancc IN Inc

INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY OF GUANO.

Many our farmers have been deferred from making
of guano from apprehension that the supply might fail and
that powerful stimulus would inure the soil unless the
substance could be annually applied Erroneous this
last notion is it will perhaps be less entertained until
repeated experiments shall have shown in this country,
others, that its tendency is permanently nvgorating.
The fear that there will not be found ample supply

States will with those who give credit TO official

shed Lima under the authority Of the Treasury Depart
ment Miuserio de Hacienda This report gives the re-
suit of survey made by order Of the Peruvian Government

Of guano which abound the coast of Peru and Borva TO

upon the origin and nature of guano states that from adea

circuit Court--Criminal Law--Reform.

In the last annual message of Governor Whitcomb,
we find the following short paragraph which is full
of wisdom. Our last circuit court has most fully I'M
pressed US with this truth. Gov. Whitcomb says:
sit is submitted whether the cognizance of minor
offences punishable by indictment, Under existing
laws, might not be adyanageousy transferred to JUS
tees of the peace, where the fine imposed would come
within their jurisdiction and yet be regarded
adequate punishment. This course, if found practi-
CABLE would afford the circuit courts time (gen-
orally much needed for the consideration of more
important business, relieve many persons from bea-
Wy tax upon their time witnesses IN these courts,
for which, in criminal cases. by the present law, they
receive compensation; exempt the defendant from
higher bill Of costs, which independent of the fine,
makes the punishment dlsproportionate to the offence,
cause more prompt and general execution of the
penal laws of that grade, and tend to extent to
relieve the supreme court Of Its heavy and increasing
labors.''
In addition to the reasons assigned by Mr. Whit
comb for the Withdrawal from the circuit courts OF
these petty offences, would add the following;
As State cases have the preference in point of time
for trial, over CIVIL it usually happens that multi
tude of these petty dollar criminal cases crowd
off from day to day, civil cases, in which witnesses,
often in large numbers are compelled to attend from
day TO day. order to be ready whenever the cases
may up, whereby great loss of time accrues to
the witnesses and parties and heavy bills of costs
cumulate.
Another reason is the number of these trivial Of
fences now ndicable and for which courts rarely fine
over dollar leads the Prosecuting Attorneys to low
and contemplate resorts at speculation in their Offices
by hunting up and prosecuting for the sake of dock
ct fee, trfng which should never the
inside of Court House, and which the public justice
is disgraced in prosecuting. We hope the next Le-
gisature will carry out the Governors recommends
tons on this subject well in regard to the public
