A SETTLEMENT.-We hear that nine-tenths
in namber, and $4,000 out of $4,000 in value
of tie creditors of j. Winslow Jones have
agreed to accept a per centage of their debts.
1t is to be hoped for the benefit of the mass of
hard working farmers who have supplied Mr.
Jones various corn factories, that this small
minority may not plunge Mr.. Jones estate into
bankruptcy, thereby probably depriving the
majority of any dividend whatever, and entail
ing lasting injury upon those towns which the
corn factories have done so much to build up.

LOUISVILLE, Mar. 1O.-The Courier Journal
to-day, says in double loaded editorial:
I'VE have taken the trouble to review care
fully the case of Mr.. Colfax as recorded in the
Congressional Investigations and compare it
with the elaborate defence delivered by the late
Vice President at South Bend last Saturday.
The result of our research is that he has given
a successful and satisfactory explanation of
the entire matter. 1t will require closer an
alysis than that which we have made or are
capable of making, to alter our opinion that in
this business Mr. Colfax has been very much
abused and wronged, and we are the reader to
allow this since we have never been tempted
and could not be induced to sacrifice the private
character of any man to partizan interest or
prejudice. In doing what we deem to be an
act of personal justice, we desire to be full ex-
plicit and ungrudging, and therefore we shall
not shallow congratulations which we have to
offer conspicuous political adversary by any
of those minor disparagements which might be
sanctioned by q less generous criticism.

RE-vALUATIoN OF REAL ESTATE.
For the past three years this important sub
ject has been presented annually to the atten-
ton of the City Council. Thus far no definite
solution of the matter has been reached.
When fist presented in 1870 an Order was
| passed to elect Commission of three citizens,
who should be authorized to make a re-valua-
| ton. The City Council did not agree on
selection of men, therefore no action was
taken.
Last year the Assessors prepared and rec
commended plan by which a new valuation
could be made by them in connection with
their present duties, which plan, together with
such explanations as may be deemed necessa-
ry, will be laid before you at an early day for
your consideration, and if acceptable to you.
an appropriation should be made to carry it
into effect.
Large amounts have been, and will here
after be annually expended by this Depart.
ment.
Total appropriation last year, $4,000
Expended in ii months, 65,479 "a
of which upwards of $2S, 900 was for labor.
There have been, for several years past,
many complaints made by our citizens against
the management of this Department. A feel
for the large expenditure made. A petition was
presented to the former City Council looking
to radical change in its control. l admit
| the Importance of some change being made,
yet am not prepared at this time to recon-
mend any definite plan. but my best efforts
snail be given, in conjunction with the Com
mlttee on Streets, to devise such measures of
reform as will secure to our citizens an i'm
proved condition of our streets, without an
increase of appropriation.

largely upon the efficiency of our Committees,

OF the City Council the i'm.
por'ahce OF prompt attendance at

Inc afiairs of the city can and should be
conducted on business principles. Let us a,

OF the several Departments of the CITY. and
before making our annual appropriations. lei

what amount will be required to be expended
by them and thereafter confne their expendi.

MINERS NATIONAL CONYENTION.-The
coal miners III National Convention as
scn1bled in Youngstown, Ohio, last week,
adopted the subjoined declaration of p1in-
ciples
WHEREAS, 1t is Il well established fact Il
fact demonstrated by bitter practical expert
euce, that there is no portion of the indus
trial classes III the Enited States whose la
Dor is so uureqUitcd, "a who are so much the
victims OF the heartless demands of corpora
tions or aggregated wealth as the miners aud
laborers about the mines; and
WHEREAS, Il is only by unity of purpose
Ga unity OF interest already eXists), hy con-
certed and concentrated efforts that these
evils can be removed or grievances re-
dressed and in order to accomplish this
purpose 1t is essential that Il national or
ganization should be formed, the primary
objects of which shall be as follows:
First-To organize under a common ban
ner-f"r the purpose of mutual protection
the entire mining population of the United
States.
Second-To afford pecuniary and moral
support to its members in all districts where
ever they may De forced to the alternative
I of n strike.
Third-To secure the passage of such laws
as our safety demands, and the report of
such laws which bear uniustly on the work
ing classes in general or our craft in par
/ ticular.
Fourth-To shorten the working hours in
i lLt mines, SO as 10 secure lne miner more
time for social, mental and philosophical
improvement, believing as we do that the
success of our republic depends on the in
telilgence, patriotism and Independence OF
the masses, and that justin proportion as the
hours of labor have been reduced have vice,
pauperism and crime decreased
In brief, to secure a thorough orCaniZa-
/ ton, an Interchange of opinion between the
various districts and practically illustrate
the truth of the principle that in union there
is strength.
All which appears to Indicate a deter
mnation on the part of the miners to in
! troduce the question of politics into their
organization, and support for public Office
only such persons as are avowed Labor
Retormers. The miners constitute veIy
large body, ana their vote, if cast as a unit.
would undoubtedly assure the success of
the party securing it.
