Money Order System.

The Chicago Tribune in referring to the
money order system makes the following
very sensible remarks:
The money order system is growing
rapidly into public favor, and only needs
two things to increase its usefulness fifty
fold, viz: cheaper rates and more offices.
1t is perfectly absurd that 833 money
offices are sufficient for the wants of the
people of the United States.
There are 24,000 post offices in operation
IN the United States, with 5000 more to
reopen IN the South. Consequently, there
is but one money order office to every
thirty post Offices in operation. The Post
master General should establish money
order office at each county seat throughout
the Union, whose population exceeds 500
inhabitants. There is a peculiar necessity
for having money-order Office at each
county seat. Those places are the capitals
of their respective counties, where all the
official and much or most of the CONNER
cial business is transacted. Every house
holder has frequent business at the county
seat. Ieither to pay his taxes, attend the
courts, or Board of Supervisors, record
deeds, pay or loan money, buy goods or
sell produce, or mail or receive papers.
the range of post office delivery nearly al
ways extends several miles round about a
county seat. BY making the post office
at the county seat money order office
the people of the whole county will as o
general thing be accommodated. ~

Will Pork be Higher !?

The past few weeks have witnessed an
unexpected decline in pork, whereat many
farmers are inclined to feel lugubrious,
having counted on good prices for their
hogs this fall, which was to help make up
the less from failure in other crops. The
great question now is, will prices continue
to rule low, or will it be safe for farmers
to hold their pork for an advance? We
think the late decline unwarranted by
anything in the situation of the corn crop
this fall or the quantity of pork in the
country. Those who have examined the
agricultural statistics of the country, say
that the hog crop has been over estimated.
It is said that through the New England
and Middle States, hardly dozen fat hogs
can be seen in one neighborhood, t.,d there
is also a scarcity Of meats through Eng
land, Ireland, and good portion ofEurope.
In the West, the number of hogs is prob
ably little below the average of last year,
while having been mostly fattened on old
corn the quality of pork is extra. The
poverty and inferiority of the corn crop
this year must cause scarcity of hogs
another season of pork packing, Every
thing points, therefore, to good prices for
pork during the coming year, and it is
quite evident that the present low prices
are caused by the pork buyers in Chicago
and the East figuring together to rule
prices below what the future prospects will
warrant. Farmers had better barrel their
pork and keep it till January or till next
spring, rather than sell at prevailing rates.
It is estimated that pork by the barrel the
coming winter cannot rule less than from
s25 to $50 per barrel, and lard l3 to 10
cents per pound.

SwINDLERs.- The Madison papers con
tain the particulars of two attempted SWIM
dies, one was by man by the name Of
Geo. Richmond, who has been clerk in
Dickinson & BartePs store during the
last year, and report said was about enter
ing the firm as one of the partners. He
forged and presented for payment two
checks for $1,000 each, one signed with
thr name of Gov. Fairchild, and the other
the name of VIM. Lysaght wealthy far
mer residing in Green Co. They were
Immediately pronounced forgeries, and the
man arrested and placed in Jail on default
of procuring $4,000 bail. The forgeries
were so poorly executed and the action OF
Richmond so strange, that it is thought
he must have been insane at the time.
The other is the appearance of man at
Milton, calling himself, captain St. Jshn,''
and reporting himself an enormously rich
man from San Francisco. He formed the
acquaintance of a respectable young lady
married her, gave her check for $500 on
the 1st National Bank of Madison, which
on presentation proved to be worthless
promised her father $1,000 in few days
left for Illinois On some excuse, and has
not been heard of since.
