A dispatch from Charleston, South
Carolina, announces the death of the
eminent novelist, William Gilmore
Simms, in the Gath year of his age. He
was the author Of "Yemasee," "The
Partisan and several other works that
had a great run of popularity in their
day His works, like the Leather-s stock.
ing stories, were connected. For many
years Mr.. Simms has furnished but little
for the press.
The Old and New for June contains
an elaborate article on the case of Gen.
John Fitz Porter. Old and New is q
Radical publication, written aud edited
by prominent members of the strictcst
sect of New England Republicanism.-
Nevertheless, the writer of the article in
question, after careful review of the
evidence in the case, comes to the con-
clusion that "Gen. John Fitz Porter was
not guilty of any of the charges of
which he was convicted"
Rev. Bishop Simpson, who, with his
wife and daughter and Rev. DIR. r. S.

Effects of Contraction,

The table / hold in my hand illustra-
tes the effect of this contraction. ] ad
dressed a note to the. commissioner of
agriculture for certain information. In
reply he furnished this table, showing
the average price per bushel of wheat in
the States of New York, Ohio, Illinois,
and the United States generally, during
the years 1866, 1867, 1868, and 1869:
find that In the state of New York in
1866 wheat was worth 50 81 per bushel !;
in 1867, 50 "a in 1868, 50 0S; and in
1869, 81 81. Tn Ohio in 1860, a BUSH
ell of wheat was worth 50 So; in 1867,
80 So; mi1S6S, 81 IS; and in 1869, 81
O3. In Illinois a bushel of wheat in
1866, was worth 81 93; in 1867, 81 81
in 1868, 81 20; and in 1869, seventy
six cents. So that one bushel of wheat
in New York in 1866 paid So 81, while
in 1869 it only paid 81 81 Of taxes
That in Ohio, in 1866, one bushel oi
wheat Paid % 81 of taxes, and in 1869
only 81 0S of taxes, That in Illinois,
in 1866 one bushel Of wheat paid 81 SO,
and in 1869 only seventy-six cents OF
taxes. Hence, that In consequence of
the contraction which has gone on du-
ring the last four years the farmers OF
New York have lost on their wheat 81
80 bushel, the FARMERS of Ohio 81 40
a bushel, the farmers of Illinois 81 II a
bushel. And, as the farmer pays his
taxes with his wheat and other products
of the soil, through the agency. of his
labor, and as it required more than
twice the amount of wheat to pay his
taxes in 1869. that was required in 1865
it follows that in the interval of time
between those years taxes upon the far
mers have been practically doubled

1he Supreme Court OF the State, al
Though it has reversed the decision OF
the lower court in the Montgomery
county contested election case, and re
manded the case for new trial, has de-
cided that the inmates of the Dayton
Soldiers Home are not entitled to vote
upon the ground that they are within the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States, and are not residents of Ohio
within the meaning of article 5, section
III of the constitution of Ohio. Chiei
Justice Brinkerhoff rendered the opinion
The following is syllabus of the points
relative to the vote of the inmates OF
the Soldiers Home:
l. Asylums fer disabled volunteer
soldiers of the United Stotes, ,are among
the "needful buildings" for the erection
of Which the government Of the United
States, through the medium of a corpo
ration created by itself or otherwise
nasy purchase and hold territofy, under
the provisions Of article L, section oi
the constitution of the United States.
2 When territory for such purpose is
so purchased by "the consent of the
legislature of the state in which the
same shall be-" the government of The
United States is invested, under tht
provisions of the same section, with tex
elusive jurisdiction over the same and
its appurtenances" in all cases whatso
ever.
3. The inmates of such an asylum
resident within such territory, being
within the exclusive jurisdiction of ;
government other than that of the stat,
within whose boundaries such asylum
or territory may be situated, are not res
idents of such a state, within meaning
of article 5, section /, Of the constitu
ton of Ohio; and where the constitu
ton of such state confers the electiv'
franchise upon residents thereof alone
the inmates of such an asylum, residen
within such territory, are not entitled t.
vote at any election held within, and un
der the laws of such state.

"There Is no question but what this
San Domingo treaty is one of the mos
stupendous and corrupt jobs ever de
veloped. Since the row over Hatch ii
the Senate, hints of what occurred in
executive session begin to be rumored
about, and the extent of the corruption
may be gathered when one remembers
that the treaty of annexation sticks, and
will probably be defeated, although the
entire weight Of the administration is
exerted in its favor, to say nothing OF
the desire inherited by every American
to steal all the adjoining territory"

give all the land the government owns

The only redress the people have is to

condemnation upon all such monstrous
thefts, by electing Legislature that will
