brief farewell speech, told the refractory volunteers
that all WAS lost. He said.
When L arrived in this island I found i it in a

SCANDINAVIAN EMIGRATION.-An unusual flow of
Scandinavian emigrants has been remarked through
Hull OF late. There has also been a similar,
although smaller. movement through Newcastle.
This state of affairs has not. however, checked the
stream of Scandinavian emigration to the United
States vid Leith and Glasgow, which has been
going on since the middle of March at the rate of
about $50 per week. The movement does not pre-
sent thus far any symptoms of abatement. This
unusual Scandinavian emigration has been occa-
stoned, it is understood. by a partial failure of the
crops for the last two seasons in Sweden aud
Norway.

STEAM PLows In the proceedings of the New

now three thousand steam plows in use in Great
Britain on the Fowler plan, and four hundred in
Egypt, on the level plains near the Nile. Each of
these plows cultivates 100 acres Of land. Our farmers
will sec from this what changes are taking place in

REPORTED ADVERSELY.

The Postal Telegraph project is dead
for this session, the Chairman of the
House Postal Committee having report
ed against it, This has been foreshad>
owed for some weeks, it being a subject
that would involve extended debate in
both Houses, and all the available time
of the present session being less than is
requisite for deliberate consideration of
appropriation bills and other important
matters. This WAS the expression on
the reference of the measure to the Com
mittee. Another feature against it was
that while making vast reduction on
private dispatches, it would many times
increase the cost on news dispatches,
and, as we understand the bill. have
largely diminished the amount of dis
patches which even a Metropolitan pa
per could afford. This we think seri-
Gus error in the plan, and to it is undoubt-
edly owing in a great measure the heavy
current OF opposition that set in recent
ly from the principal papers of the coun-
try. The Western Union thereby allied
with them an influence which few Com
gressmen care to contend against The
main features of the bill are worthy and
Government Postal Telegraphy viii yet
be an unqualified success in this coun--
try. The bill was the crude idea, con-
tanning some things Objectionable, but if
the press instead of making an on>
slaught on the entire measure, and con-
cealing the motive had pointed out and
opposed these minor defects, the result
would have been better. Having taken
form and its agitation shown popular
approval, its present postponement can>
not prevent It's early temperance on
the scene in the Forty-First Congress.

FINANCIAL ABUsEs.-It is reported
by Secretary McCulloch that the gov
ernment has. since 1860, realized $29S,
7S2,329 of currency, by the secret sales
of gold; $117,S14,747 by the secret sale
of 7-30 bonds; $454, ,724, ,096 by similar
sales of 5-20s; $163 940, 800 from 1O-4Os;
making total of $,035, ,261 1892, as the
gross secret operations of the governs
ment, besides $95S, ,342, 900, part of which
were secret and part open transactions
This shows the extent TO which the Sec
retary has been manipulating the mark
ct. On these immense snms the CONS
missions to brokers have been literally
thrown away, since they might have
been saved by properly advertising and
selling directly from the Treasury.
OF all the 5000, ,450,378 negotiated
during the past few years. only 1000
OOOO00 have been done as a business
man would have managed, to wit. by
inviting the best proposals tor taking
loans. Beside, the plan that has been
pursued has opened wide door for Of
hciai speculation and official enrichment.
How much has been mkde in these offic-
ial transactions it is impossible to know,
until the great books that we read of
shall be opened. Mr.. Conklin's bill Is
designed to prevent this abuse.

THERE is little doubt now that Gen-
eral George w Cass, of Pittsburgh, will
be the Democratic nominee for Govern.
or OF Pennsylvania. He is a man of
great business ability, as has been dem>
onstrated in his management of that
immense corporation, the Pennsylvania
Central, and has as fair a character as
is available for use in the Democratic
party. The Republican majority in 1868
for HaTtrauft, Auditor General. was on
ly 9,677 in a poll of 653, 1856. although
Grants was 2SS9S. As it has always
been found an utter impossibility to poll
two full Republican votes in successive
years in Pennsylvania. the nomination
of Cass, with the powerful railroad in
terest TO back him, will require the best
man the Republicans have, a-successful
national administration, aud untiring
effort on the part of the Republicans, to
keep the succession in the party of Cur
tin and Geary.

1T is stated that in 1867. tax was paid
on one gallon of whisky in every four
in 1868 only on one gallon in every ten.
In 1867 the revenue derived from this
source was $2s,29s, 900; in 1868, $13, ,492,
600. SO, although the manufacture ins
creased, the revenue decreased. The
tax was then 90 per gallon; now it is
80 cents. 1t is required to raise $7O,-
100000 from whisky and tobacco. To-
bacco paid in 1867, $500, 900; in 1868,
$17,s9S,7S2. This will require over
$50,000,000 TO be raised from whisky,
unless the revenue from tobacco is in
creased. The product for this year is
estimated AT 10000, 900 gallons, Special
charges increase the entire whisky tax
to GO cents, so that If all were collected.
it would give less than $44 100000 If
this is the case, a subsequent Congress
will be necessitsted to again impose
many of the taxes repealed by the press

ISIT ADVISABLE

The Cheyenne Argus has new hand
crat, and withal a logical thinker and
able writer. He has started off on the
proposition that the Territories should
have practical representation in Con-
gress; that it is a right and should not
be withheld. Several Territorial papers
approved his views. some, and among
others the Posi-. having urged the mat
ter before. But this cordial unanimjty
OF sentiment has had bad effect. The
ARGUS man becomes feverish with de-
sire and seeks TO iuoculate the Territor-
les with virulent disease, for which
ten full grown States were recently bad
ly punished. He would initiate the
monkey in mimicing his masters shaw
ing, and thereby adding to the history
of the monkey tribe, the sad story of one
with a badly severed throat. He says I:
Since then they have no vote in the matter,
since a:so they have vast hardships to con-
tend With in overcoming the obstacles of ma
ture, and need every dollar they can command
TO build themselves up as communities, lt
would be but a simple act of justice, which
the people at large would approve, 20 de>
vote ali the net taxes collected In the
Territories, to the making of roads, the eree-
tIon of public buildings, and the performance
of other matters, so far the funds would
go, to assist their people In the work of civil
IEation.
The premise upon which the above
''act OF justice is argued, is that the
Territories Fay more taxes TO the gov>
eminent than they receive in return.
This is an error. Wyoming having on
ly been organized July %. 1868, and not
having even a Delegate in Congress, yet,
is too young to rebel and also to young
to furnish any statistics of revenue or
expense to the government, but we are
very well satisfied from the following
appropriations that Dakotah, then in
Guiding Wyoming, did not pay one>halt
into the government Treasury that was
appropriated for its expenses and ex-
penditures within that Territory. The
following is made up from the various
appropriation bills of 1868.
