Mr.. BinGhams Bill Relating TO In.
surance Companies.

WASHINGTON, February IA dis
patch saws the defeat of Judge Bing-
ham bill relating to Life Insurance
companies, was occasioned by the
opinion held by many members that 1t
proposed an unwarrantable interference
by the general government with
the right OF States TO regulate
the privileges of corporations. The
bill provided that no penalty shall
be imposed on any Life Insurance com
panv which is authorized by the laws
Of the United States, nor shall any tax
or other condition of doing business be
imposed upon any such company which
is not 10y the same. authority imposed
upon all Insurance companies. The
last clause would prevent a State from
any discrimination in favor OF ms trance
companies organized in such State. In
many of the Western States there Is
talk Of adopting legislation to compel
Eastern Insurance companies to invest
the profits arising from their business
in the State whence they derive it. 1t
Is stated $S,O00,0O0 are annually drawn
from Ohio, and $7,000.O00 from lndinia,
as the profits of the Eastern Insurance
companies, and from all the Western
States there is large and constant
irain of money to the East to pay
insurance.

islature to-day a bill was introduced
providing for the election Of Street Com
missioners by wards in cities of second
class. A resolution was adopted in the
House asking Congress to pass law to
give all soldiers and sailors who served

At a meeting of foreign representa-

proposed to modify the suggestion so
that it should apply only to natives
living at or visiting open ports, but he
was overruled. 1t is doubtful whether
his proposition could be carried out.
That agreed upon is. simply

to state that the victims of the outrage
endure their sufferings with manly for

pate in the wild clamor for retribution.
1t is apprehended that the English peo-
pie will attach too great an Importance
to the unfortunate affair, and that, fol-

WASHINGTON, February IL.
The Vice President presented the
credentials of Mr. Salisbury, Senator

laid on the table.
Mr.. Wilson, from the committee on
Military Affairs, reported without
amendment House bill to protect the

poses; also, without amendment bill
introduced by himself recently to pro-
vide for the selection Of cadets for the
military and naval academies.
The legislative, executive and Judicial
appropria,ion bill was then proceeded
with.
Mr.. Sawyer moved to amend the re-
pealipg provisions inserted in the legis-
iative appropriation bill last year, on
motion OF the Senator from Missouri,
Mr.. Drake, which prohibited the ad-
mission as evidence in the Court Of
Claims, of Presidential pardons.
Mr. Sawyer's amendment authorizes
as evidence in that Court any pardon
or amnesty granted before the suppress
sion Of the rebellion, under the proclama-
nation of the President issued in
pursuance Of the act Of July L., 1862,
known as the confiscation ac', and
before the restoration OF the rights
of property, where the conditions in
said acts and proclamations have been
faithfully complied with, and the oaths
of amnesty and allegiance maintained
inviolate. This is not to apply to suits in
said Court other than those arising
under the act Of March II, lS62, to
prsvide for the collection Of abandoned
property and the prevention Of frauds
within the insurrectionary districts.
Mr.. Sawyer advocated his amend
ment in lengthy speech.

Cheese or Butter.

The Rural New Yorker relates an incl
dent of much interest in itself. and also
of value from it's suggestlveness. The
boiler of a cheese factory in Herkimer
county, n. Y, needed repairing OIL
Sept. 10, 1870. There was no other
convenient apparatus for heating. 70
prevent the total loss of milk received
that day it was allowed to stand twelve
hours, the cream then taken off and the
SKINNED milk fed to the pigs. The
weight of the milk received was 1000
pounds. From it 200 pounds OF butter
were made, worth 40 cents pound, or
$50. Allowing nine pounds of milk to
one of cheese, the amount Of cheese
that might have been made from the
milk is 444 pounds; estimating this at
IA IL cents q pound, its value would
have been $643S. Instead of a loss, the
accident to the boiler caused a net gain
of 1882, and whatever value the
SKINNED milk possessed over the whey
as food for hogs.
AS Mr.. Willard says, this incident in
dictates that it would be we'll for the pro-
prietors of cheese factories to have at
hand facilities for butter making, so that
when from unusual richness OF the milk,
a decrease in the price of cheese, or in
crease in the price of butter, it is more
profitable to make butter than cheese,
the necessary facilities may be at hand.
Mr. Willard also suggests that where
the milk is Of unusual richness, or as
rich as it frequently is at the close Of
the season, the cream may be removed
from the nights milk, still leaving the
milk rich enough in cream, when mixed
with the mornings milk.

Renovation Of WOrn-Out Lands.

A wonderful improvement has re-
suited in the past twenty years, from
the contagious example Of few persis
tent men, despite the sneers Of the
GLOW pressure" farmers, who brought
upon their old fields the curse of bar
renness. Dry, bare, hard and intracta-
BILE was the soil of this land, which was
a drug in the market at 81 to S. per
acre. In whole neighborhoods these
lands, in Montgomery county, are now
green with clover and other grasses, and
smiling with agricultural plenty, selling
freely at $50 to $50 per acre. One Of
these farms was originally purchased at
$205 per acre, and the friends Of the
purchaser thought he had paid too
much by just s. per acre. The agents
in this renovation have been lime, plas
ter, ashes and poudrette, bone-dust and
guano, to start the grasses; then cattle
feeding, green manuring and systematic
rotations, in which green crops held a
large place. The low pressure fellows
were afraid to use fertilizers, lest they
should g fire the CROP or if they did
venture to try them, would only employ
them in producing greater exhaustion
by larger crops of corn and tobacco.
Who cannot see that the personal
contact with these pioneers of progress,
an peculiar observation Of the continued
results of improvement, and free con-
sultation upon the peculiar status and
present wants of local agriculture, are
necessary to the most efficient and
beneficial action Of this advisory and
experimental branch Of the govern

MILWAUKEE.
Grand Gift Enterprise,

In placing before our readers the
grand gift enterprise inaugurated by the
Musical Society of Milwaukee, Wis, we
wish to recommend the merits of the
scheme to their careful consideration.
The originators of. the enterprise are
widely and honorably known through
out the country, there being very few
musical organizations of equal merits in
the United States. Within the twenty
years Of its existence, this Musical So
ciety has gained the universal esteem
and support of Milwaukeeans as one of
their most prominent institutions. For
this reason the most widely known
business men of that city, foremost
among whom is the Hon. ALEXANDER
MITCHELL, President of the Milwaukee
and St. Paul R. R., and Representative
in Congress of the First. District Of
Wisconsin, have not only given their
endorsement, but also their active int1u-
ence to this enterprise, which is to take
the last obstacle of the society's future
away, by ameliorating the state OF its
financial affairs. The scheme so in
dorsed cannot but meet with confidence
and universal favor. Eighty Thousand
Dollars in greenbacks are to be distrib-
uted, among which there is one prize
of S25, 900, and many others, amounting
to large sums. The tickets are sold at
50. Mr.. H. N. Hempsted, the we'll
known music dealer of Milwaukee, is
the general agent of the enterprise.
