REPUBLICAN Congressman Rainey,
of South Carolina, said in a recent
speech: In the South colored people
are gradually acquiring land, thereby
becoming taxpayers. Thus will you
perceive they are not frightened by the
cry of high taxation, which is said by
some to have forced the sale of this
class of property, and in some instan-
ces made it cheap. IF this is a fact,
we rather like the putting on taxes, if
the tendency is to place lands within
the reach of the poorer classes at
cheap rates" tt

$4,000 Worth of Diamonds for His
Own Use. li

New YORK, Aug. 26.-N. L. Lam
caster, of Chicago, returning there for
the benefit of his health, arrived from
Europe Saturday, having with him
thirty thousand dollars worth of dia-
monds, obtained in the gold fields of
South Africa. On landing at the pier,
custom officer Singleton took from
Lancaster a small satchel containing
the diamonds and declared them seiz-
ed, alleging that Lancaster denied
having dutiable goods. The latter
gentleman, however, asserts that he
told the inspector he had diamonds
and accounted for their possession by
saying he had found some and pur-
chased others, in South Africa. He
also claims that there is no duty on
uncut diamonds, and denies that he
made any attempt at eoncealment,
having displayed them among his fol
low passengers and refused offers of
purchase, desiring them for his own
use. Mr.. Lancaster goes to Washing
ton to demand the restoration of his
property, and will bear with him aft
davits of his late associate travellers
certifying to the truthfulness of his
own statements.

The Lava Bed.

Prof. Hayden, the United States Ge-
ologist who explored the lava bed, has
laid before the President maps and pho
tographs of that region. 1t extends ir-
regularly all the way from about the
Three Tillers west to the Pacific ocean,
about 900 miles. They are covered with
sage brush and small vegetation, and
abound in small game, being peculiar
for the multitude of rabbits and large
lizards that take refuge in holes and
erevices of the rocks. The rock is of a
basaltic formation that appears to have
been cast upon the bed of some lake,
and is cracked in all directions, until it
forms q network of assures, varying in
depth from ten to sixty feet. Large
numbers of tributaries of the Columbia
river flow through this region, and the
water washes out the soft formation be-
meath the rock, and great cayerns are
found extending for many miles around
the opening at various places, into the
assures in the rock. In instance q
has been traced some sixty miles
beneath these lava beds, without ever
within sight of the surface.
The sides of the assures in the rock are
generally rough and irregular, SO as to
afford a good foothold in ascending and
descending from the cracks and cav
ems.
Water is abundant, and it appears to
be folly to talk of starving out the Mo-

A Case Decided.

Iowa has offered another warning to
the railroads in regard to the treatment
which they may expect at the hands of
ajury if they persist in excessive charges.
A case of overcharging has just been de-
cided against the Chicago and North
western railroad, at Marshalltown. 1t
has been pending, in one shape or an
other, since 1863. The oyercharge that
was made was but 81. 20 in the first in
stance, but the railroad managers were
obstinate, and contested the case at every
point. At the first term, the dispositions,
which the road had been at considerable
cost to collect, were thrown out on ac-
count of informalities. At the next
term, the entire costs of the suit were
thrown upon the railroad because it was
not ready for trial. At another term,
the verdict of the jury wa set aside,
because it was believed that the attorney
for the railroad had tempered with the
jury. The Supreme Court of Iowa sus-
tanned the position, and the case came
up for a new trial. At last, o jury has
brought in verdict against the road,
and fined it $500, the largest penalty al
case illustrates a principle: Whatever
may be the error of Legislatures in deal
ing with railroad monopolies, the abuses
of which the people complain will be
sure to be punished. If prosecuted
under a statute, there may be moderate
fines, as in the recent Iowa case. If
successfully prosecuted under the COM
mon law, the remedy is of a broader
character, for the practice which is
found contrary to law will be summarily
stopped by the courts on the verdict Of
juries. Statutes are thus apt to be
finally in the interests of monopolists,
but the abuses of overcharging and dis
eliminating unjustly will be reached in
one way or another, and they will at
last be broken down.-Chicago Tribune.

HISTORY is philosophy teaching by
example. The commercial failures in
the United States for 1870, 1871 and
1872 show that the further we depart
from cash principle, the more we run
into danger. The failures for last year
are reported as aggregating $121, 0O0, 900,
against 1856, 900, 600 in 1871. A consid-
cradle part of this increase is known to
be due to the great fires in Chicago and
Boston.

American Poets in Russia.

Russia, writes a correspondent OF the
Baltic Gazette, has often, of late years,
tried to manifest its friendly feelings
toward the United States, but it is
doubtful if she has ever paid homage to
all that is best and noblest in the great
Transatlantic Republic in a more grace
full and dignified manne than in st.
Petersburg on the 18th of March. The
Academy of Russia, an institution
founded by the Empress Catherine IL,
In 1773, and in every respect a counter
part of the Academic Franchise, except
that Acknowledgements foreign writer's
can be elected honorary members, con-
ferred that distinction on the above
mentioned day upon two iuustrious
Americans, the poets William Cullen
Bryant and Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow, after a discussion of their merits,
which did honor to the Russian acade-
micians who participated in it, and which
viii be chronicled as q memorable event
in the records of the Academy. Let it
be stated here that the honor conferred
upon the two great Western poets is not
an ordinary one; for, of the living poets
of England, only Tennyson has been
found worthy of it. France, at present,
is without a representative among the
honorary members of the Russian
| Academy, the name of Victor Hugo
having never been proposed for obvious
political reasons. Germany was hon.
ored some time ago by the election of
| Oscar von Kedwitz and Emmanuel Gel
bel, while the names of Goethe, Schiller
and Jean Paul are engraven upon the
marble tablets of the dead members.
In consequence of this election, the
two new honorary members, in case they
should visit Russia, will be treated with
tho honOra Hua fn OOhlaDnon of the first
rank. Soldiers of the Imperial Guard
would mount guard before the houses in
which they would reside, and at court
they would have precedence of all, ex-
cept the members of the Imperial Cabi-
| net.
