Albany, Ind, is stll in progress. Since its COM
menccment about 5O7 persons have been adj
ded to The Methodist Churches. and l75 to the
Presbyterian Church. The United Brethren
and Christian Church have also shared largely
in its fruits. The Ledger says the saloons OF
the place are very poorly patronized, on ac-
count of the number of their patrons who have
been converted. ALI the policemenin the place
have signed the temperance pledge. --.

ligious awakening. and they travel many miles
to attend the meetings. H.4.e. ..

umn of the Telescope, of this week, is 1900.

amount of money taken from the Treas
ury of the United States for the support
of the Bureau is s3,s46,954. He has
been asked to name the aggregate a.
mount of appropriations made by Con

answer to that he would say that the ag-
gregate appropriations amount to s1O,.

Mr.. Eliot said that the Bureau had
come in possession of property abandon

Bureau had been allowed to retain poss.
ession ofsuch property, it would not

The Senate Finace Committee had a
long debate to-day on the bill which was
passed by the House yesterday repeating
the duties ON industrial pursuits. The
Committee, while anxious to relieve, as
far as possible, the articles indicated, ap-
pear to doubt the propriety of including
so many articles in preliminary bill. 1t
is estimated that the bill. if passed, will
take from the Treasury from $70,ooo,ooo
$SO,0OO,0O0, and Senators are divided in
opinion on the advisability of making SO
large reduction at this time. The
Committee, however, will give the
scheme further consideration, and will
confer with the Secretary of the Treas
ury and Revenue Commissioner. 1t is
very probable, however, that the Com
mittee will report the bill to the Senate
substantially as it passed the House.
Mr.. j. Ross Browne and Mr.. Tucker
man of New-York were confirmed TO-

was finally appointed by a large majority.

ERIE Ran Rom wAn.-six suits are now

ERIE Ran. RoAD WAR-Six suits are now
pending in the Drew Vanderbilt struggle for the
control of the Erie Railway. On the Commo-
dores accession to the Presidepey of the New
York Central, be found his old steamboat an
tagonist Daniel Drew, one of the sharpest old
brokers in the city, at the head of the Erie
management, or SO deeply interested in it that
he virtually controlled it. The New York Cen
tral, with the Hudson River and consolidated
Lake Shore lines, constitute the great narrow
gauge route from New York to Chicago. The
entire line may be said TO be under the control
of Vanderbilt and his associates. Its great III
val is the bread gauge line, OF which the Erie,
Atlantic and Great Western, and the Ohio and
Mississippi railways are the separate links. But
this broad guage line has no connection with
Chicago, and the impending opening OF the
Pacific railway from San francisco to Chicago,
moyes the Erie combination TO project an i'm
mediate connection with that city. This is to
be done by q branch from Akron to Toledo.
Thence a third rail on the Michigan Southern
and Northern Indiana roads viii make the
broad guage line complete 10 Chicago. To de-
feat the new enterprise of the Erie, Vanderbilt
and his party have essayed to buy it; to de-
feat them, Drew and his confederates attempt
by the issue of new stock to keep the prize
from their grasp. How the war will terminate
remains yet 10 be seen.
The last move is the removal by small
boat in foggy morning, of the archives, and
valuables of The Erie Co., including 6, ,OOO, 900
money, across to Jersey City, to be out ofreach
of New York officials. '

The Independent recently made an editorial
thrust at indecent publications and pictures.
Strange to note, the same issue contained a
vulgar advertisement, worse than the obscene
pictures and papers exposed at news-dealers
stores. "Eusebius," in the Christian IrateLli-
gencer, says he was chagrined, mortified and
vexed, and was in proaer mood TO wiring the
neck of the ignorant manager and proprietor,
and slap the smooth face of Theodore the

The box which was disposited in the Treas
ury Department in 1857 for safe keeping, and
which the Secretary of the Treasury was recen-
tly authorized by resolution of Congress to open
was subjected to an examination yesterday.
The scontents consist of the following des-
cribed articles of value, namely: .--..E -,
One bottle containing Otter of Roses, and
and supposed to be worth some $1,000; one
vial containing pearls; one vial containing dia-
monds one gold plate inside lining of muff
box, presented to the United States Minister at

tanning gold ornament and silk tassel be-

u. A TOWNSEND writes from Wash

case now before the Supreme Court. -
The cash to conduct the trial was
raised by subscription in Mississippi
The lawyer helping Jerry Black is old
Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, an ermined
kidnarper, CT infamous report in the cele-
brated Sharkey decision, which he made
thirty odd years ago. Perhaps you re-
member that case; how Mississippi
planter, Id love with beautiful slave,
carried her to Ohio and married her.
by will LIE bequeathed her child ard his,
nearly white lad, the whole of his for
tune. After his death the heirs at law
aided by Judge Sharkey's decision, seiz-
ed the property and sold the devisor's
son in the slave shamblcs. The story of
Uncle Tom is not true, but this is, and
which OF the two is most Of story?
Here, PERMITTED to live almost life
time after his unholy verdict, hong after
the bones of his victim are worked out,
Judge Sharkey, one OF the most lecher-
ous-faced men l ever saw, comes to
stand by the Constitution ~. .
The feeling is. strong here that the
Supreme Court will pronounce the Re
construction acts Of Congress unconsti-
rational, and Immediately rebellion will
leap to its feet, not armed with its mus
let but with its cowhide whip. Let us
anticipate what follows.
Civil war in the South in dreadful sort
follows this decision. The breath of free
..oln, now three years received, has not
been idly enjoyed by the blacks. If Mr..
johnson be president when the decision
is given, he will at once withdraw our
armies from the South. The rebel and
liis late slave will tLen be face to face
mutually exasperated. The scenes of
Sherman's march will be happiness COM
pared to the destiny of the South when
these elements overflow each other.

Wade's defenders, who vote for making him

terest, all say for Ohio, " Each State is entitled
to two Senators under the Constitution. " '.'
Where, then, are the twenty Senators from
the ten Southern States ?-Nea0 York World.
The last We remember of the 8. twenty Sen
ators" was when they took their hats and re-
tired from the Senate Chamber, " in obedience
to the will Of their sovereign Siates.". We are
not aware of their places having been supplied
by legitimate, or even pretended, elections since
Ample opportunity has, however, been presen-
ted since their war on the Union failed, tor
these States to he represented, if they so desir-
ed. The Voluntary absence of twenty Sen
ators at any time would no more disorganize
the legislative department ofthe Government
than the temporary illness of a single Senator

the rebel Senators left, nor has there been any
pause for their return.-Cin. Chronicle. '--.,~

Sarah is still feeble, yet hopeful, and on the
whole has been gaining slowly since the 25th
ult., the weather having been dry and warm,
SO much SO, that the roads are dusty and farm
ers are blowing and sowing like summer. Ga
dens are generally made, and vegetables up,
and peas hoed out, and it is SO warm that sit
writing with my coat of, no fire, and doors
open. Yet can see snow upon the mountains
and can, at almost all times.
We are located 20 miles from Sacramento
City, and at the county seat Of Yolo county, in
the Valley of the Sacramento. The valley is
as level as The western prairies. No timber e1-
cept scrub oak and but little of that Pasture
and meadow land need irrigation, wheat does
very well without. Hay here is made of vol
unteer crops of oats, wheat and barley-that Is
the second and third crops from one sowing,
and this has TO be thinned out by narrowing
the ground, and will give two to three crops in
one s5ason, and two tons to the acre at that, of
the very best quality of hay Chill clover is
the only grass that will stand dry weather here,
and that is better for irrigating. Wheat here
yields from 40 to 80 bushels per acre, and is the
crop of the country. Some are producing
grapes for wine, but more for raisins, as many
as 20 acres are in single field, the fruit is very
fine, and makes the best Of raisins, with less
labor than is required to dry apples in Ohio
They arc excellent for table and other uses
The weather here is mild during the winter
months We landed here the 1st day of Dec.
after which it rained much of the time up to
the last week in January and none since then.
