Meat.

The Cincinnati Price Current makes
an estimate of the amount of cattle, sheep,
and lambs consumed in the United States
during a year, in all the cities and towns
containing over 5000 inhabitants, deduct
ed from the statistics of the New York
market. 1t gives these towns an aggre-
gate population Of about four millions of
inhabitants, and sets them down as con-
suming 100000 head of cattle, and two
and half millions of sheep and lambs,
besides three millions of hogs, the whole
valued at seyenty-one and half millions
of dollars. Two-thirds of this entire
product is said to come from the States
in the valley of the Ohio The estimate
made for Philadelphia in the Price Cur
rents statement is l01 900 head of cat
tie, and 3l3, 800 sheep and lambs

The Fort ElcHemry Case.

The Fort McHenry case, in which the
death of soldier named Loup was al
legged to have been caused by cruel pun
shDent, has been investigated by mill
tary Court of Inquiry, and the facts elic-
tied are published in the Baltimore Pa
triot. From them we learn that Loup
was drunk and disorderly, and getting
into a quarrel with the Sergeant, drew a
sabre upon him. He was then confined
in the guard house, but made so much
noise that Lieut.. Griffin ordered him to
be tied up and gagged. This was done
by his being tied up to the flag staff by
the wrists and legs, and his mouth gag
ged. He succeeded in getting the gag out
twice, and make noise again whereupon
the Sergeant made the third and fatal
gag, which is thus described:
"The sergeant made third gag, by
doubling piece of the flag halyards and
wrapping a part of his blanket around
the middle Of this doubled rope. The
blanket part was about six inches long,
and from one and quarter to two in
ches in diameter, and was secured to the
rope by small cord wound spirally round
and tied to each end of the blanket.
"The sergeant then placed his gag in
Loup's mouth; tied the ends of the rope
behind his head, and called the sentinel
at the guard house.
"The sergeant then directed the seDti-
mel to return his sabre, take hold of the
ends of the rope-gag and hold on, and
prevent Loup from getting it out of his
mouth. If the gag came out the sentinel
was directed to replace it. This gag
stopped up Loup's mouth completely, and
the only noise he made after it was put
in, was suppressed sound, which could
be heard only short defiance from the
flag staff"
Loup struggled desperately for about
half an hour to get out this gag, but was
prevented by the sentinel pulling strongly
and keeping his head back. After that
his body relaxed, his knees sunk, and he
hung by the wrists, dead, as was ascer-
tanned some hours afterward Surgeon
McDOugall, of the Army, examined the
body specifically, and was of opinion that
Loup had died Of CONGESTION of the brain.
Such, also, was the opinion of the Coro-
ner, DR.. Benson, and the physician call
ed in by him, Dr. Webster.
The Court exoDerated Lieutenant Grif-
fin from blame, his order being accord
ing to regulations, but not intended to
mean that the prisoner should be tied up
to the flag staff or gagged in an unusual
way.

Illinois.

This State has increased in population
and wealth with wonderful rapidity. On
the 18th April, 1918, bill was passed
by the House Of Representative, almost
unanimously; for the admission of Illinois
into the Union as State. The Senate
concurred by large majority. The new
State contained thirty million acres of
land, being one-ffth larger than Ohio,
and the population was 10000. Inl85O
the number of Inhabitants was 6,O34.
The first Senators were Jesse B. Thorn as
and MiDian Edwards; the first Represen-
tative was John Mclean. The State
has now nine Representatives, and the
present population must be over one mil
lion.

Is there nO Need of "a He'll.

The facts of most unequalled piece
Of villaiDy by State Official at Albany,
n. Y, have just became known. A man
named johnson perpetrates forgery, and
is sentenced to the State Prison. The
prisoner has a beautiful wife, to whom the
Governors Secretary makes dishonorable
proposals, in return for which he promises
to procure pardon from the Governor.
The poor woman, it seems, sacrificed her
honor, and the price promised for it, was
paid, johnson was pardoned out.
The man, however, ascertaining how
his wife had been ruined, grew desperate,
committed another crime and was sent to
the State Prison. The WON an meanwhile
is cast off by both husband and paramour,
and comes before the Courts, broken
hearted, to claim support from the Gov
ernor's Secretary, for offspring of the
criminal intercourse. The transaction
from its conclusion, stands almost unpa-
relleled in the annals of villainy in high
places. Morals in official circles at AL
bany are indeed at lowest water mark.

From Oregon.

By papers received by the last arrival
from the Pacific we learn that the report
brought by the last preceding steamer
from California, that majority of the
people of Oregon had voted in foyor of a
Convention 10 farm q State GoUernne1t,
was incorrect. Such was supposed to be
the case at first, but the very large vote
cast against it in jacksonville most
southern county in the Territory, border
ing on California-effectually defeated it
for the present. The people of Jackson
have twice defeated the proposed State
organization, from hope, it is said, that
a new Territory may one day be made
up of the southern counties of Oregon
and the northern counties of California.

on Friday last. The counterfeit is, how
ever, easily detected. BY examining the

The Know Nothing Organization has
produced some singular changes among
the Southern politicians. Ex-Governor
Foote, formerly of Mississippi, but now of
California, has joined the Order, and
mounted the stump in its behalf. Ex-
Senator Jeremiah Clemens, politician
of the same stripe, has also published a
long letter, taking decided ground in fa-
vor Of the new party. These were the
two pleading Union Democrats in the strug-
gle of 1850. On the other hand, Judge
Gone, of Georgia, and many others, who
were secessionists in that contest, are now
active Know Nothings. But, in place of
these, the Democratic party has at this
time the aid of some who were the lead
ers of the whig party in their respective
localities, such as John Kerr, of North
Carolina. W. B. Preston, of Kentucky,
A. Ii. Stephens, Robt. Toombs and Chas.
jenkins, of Georgia, and James c. Jones,
of Tennessee. In fact there has been
general break up and construction of
parties at the South, as in the West and
North, the masses having been seized with
the same changing spirit which has actu-
ated their quondam leaders Whether
the present arrangement of parties at the
South can last is extremely doubtful; but.
whether it does or not, all parties in that
section appear to agree in sentiment upon
questions of national policy, so that the
separation is merely nominal.-North A.
