More About Germ Sugar.

The Chicago I.Sb'as states that sugar
has been obtained in that city from corr
and by very cheap process;it is, however,
that variety kno"n as starch sugar" not
grape, or ''cane,' possessing but half the
sweetening power of the latter
According to the Tribune the process was
discovered by Mr. Hirsch of Chicago, who
states that he can obtain 6U pounds of su
gar, or 70 pounds of syrup from 100 pounds
OF corn meal, the chief expense being for
fuel.
This again loses about 80 per cent in the
refining process. The sugar thus obtained
would cost three or four cents pound
Doubling this for the additional quantity
required to equal the sweetening quality of
cane sugar, and we have seven to eight
cents as the equivalent of pound of cane
sugars wide difference between this and
twenty seven cents. The Tribune learns
that company is about 10 be started in
Chicago for the manufacture of corn sugar.

The GOVERNOR OF DELAWARE REC oMMEN
DING EMANCIPATION Gov Cannon, in his
annual message to the Legislature of Dele
ware, again takes strong ground in favor of
emancipation in that State as he did his in
augural address. He repeats that Delaware
is connected with the free States by geo
graphical position and commercial necessity;
that the products of Delaware find their
markets in the North and thence come the
immigrants who give increased value to
real estate; that IT,. result of constant utter
course with the North is gradually to assm-
late the institutions Of Delaware to those of
the free States az it has already identified
their interests; that slavery in Delaware
being merely nominal, is worthless sg an
element of labor; that emancipation of Ma
rylandHhas surrendered Delaware with free
soil, inviting the escape of slaves on all
sides, as there is no law requiring their
rendition

Legislative i.

We copy from the Madison Journal its
Legislative Summary for Friday and Sat
urday of last week 1t will be noticed that
tire same old routine of tinkering the ReVis
ed Statutes and the laws Of the several SEES
sions has been commenced.
We notice resolution was introduced in
the Assembly requesting the Secretary of
State to prepare list of all amendments of
the Revised Statutes. That is what we
should call Herculean labsr, for their name
is truly Legion" The cleaning of the
"Augean Stables" was nothing but ''child's
play compared with that job.
That was good Resolution adopted by
the Assembly, not to receive any local bills
the object of which might be accomplished
by general Law. Hope it will be carried
out.
On Monday the session of both houses was
quite brief. In the Senate bill was in
troduced to so amend the soldiers suffrage
law az to allow soldiers to vote in hospital
or wherever there are as many as ten cleo
tors. That is right, we hope to see it be-
come a law.
The only act of the Assembly on Monday
was to table the resolution in regard to a
return to the former system Of county gov
eminent. The old system was undoubtedly
the best, but we are opposed to frequent
changes. Let US try the present system
until we prove it either good or bad.
On Tuesday several important matters
were introduced. That in which we are
most interested was bill in the Senate
increasing printers fees for legal notices tt
80 cents for first insertion, and 40 for sub
sequent insertions. No mere just or humane
act will be introduced this winter, and we
hope it will pass Our members may con
slider themselves instructed and requested t,
labor for it. Tile bill was postponed two
weeks.
In the Assembly a joint resolution was in
troduced and referred to the Judiciary com
rnittee, providing for amending the constitu
ton 80 as to provide for Biennial sessions o
the Legislature, and increasing the per di
EN- of members to $400 per day for sess
ion of 80 days. This is a measure that VI
have advocated for ten years past We mop,
the Judiciary committee will report in favo
of its adoption, after being amended SO az t.
limit the pay to a session of 80.

very badly injured. Thus you see some of
