DEFERRED ITEMS.

The British steamship HISTORIAN, on her last
VOYAGE from Liverpool, landed at Baltimore,
among many other passengers, $50 from the
agricultural districts Of England, who at once
started to Nebraska, the intention being to
form colony near Lincoln in that State. 1t
is said that during the winter months the eml,
grafton agents Of the State of Nebraska, and
the agents of railroad company who possess
extensive land grants in the State, have travel
" through the agricultural districts, and have
rot together the Englishmen who arrived in
the HISTORIAN.
The Washington police have struck rich
vein, which, says the New York Journal of
Commerce, if thoroughly worked, might pay off
the National debt. They have taken to arrest
Ing people for profanity and for loud talking,
and about half the business of the Washington
Police Court is harvesting fines from the pro-
fame and vociferous One days report men
tions five persons hailed before that tribunal for
swearing, and mulcted in sums from one dollar
to three dollars-the amount being adjusted
probably according to the number OF syilableS
in the oaths.
The bill introduced by Mr. Wood in the
House of Representatives INTENDED to pre-
vent stringency or contraction IN the money
market. either from designed or accidental
causes, provides that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall set apart from the coin 10 the
treasury the sum of $40 100000, and issue e-
gal-tender notes of the denomination OF one
thousand dollars to the amount OF S25, 900, 900,
to be distributed at the principal cities, &c:
for loan.
The Baltimore Sun says :-"While the dry
goods trade has been active in Baltimore, New
York merchants complain that it has been
largely below a reasonable average, attributed
to the backwardness of the season in the inte-
rior. Stocks are reported full, and buyers eau
tious in taking up further supplies from manu-,
facturers. Owing to the high prices OF wool
there has been run on cheap shoddy woolens
by the clothing manufacturers.
Mr.. Speer, of Pennsylvania, has introduced
in the House of Representatives bill provld-
ing that hereafter no person unsuccesstully con,
testing the seat Of member or senator shall
receive any allowance whatever as costs, coun-
sci fees or expenses. The bill was referred to
the committee on the judiciary. ln the event
of the passage of a bill of this character quite a
saving would be made to the treasury.

cities ofthe West, with the view to run up the

It is the old game of buying and holding all

Tn LOUISIANA UsuRPATIoN.- despatch
from New Orleans to Attorney General Will
liams states that the Supreme Court Of Louisi-
ana will soon render final decision on the
legality of the Warmoth Returning Board of
Elections. The State government defeated
by the people, but forced into power through
the orders of a federal. Judge backed by
federal bayonets, having abolished adverse
Courts driven from the bench all independ-
ent Judges and filed their places with par
isans, now desires to create the belief that
its cause is in the hands Of the State judiciary.
The people will not, however, forget that
Louisiana has been rsvolutionized by federal
power and that the federal usurpation consum-
mated in that State, if suffered to pass unre-
buked, may be practiced in New York four
years from now.
