WILLAM ALLEN, Governor elect of
Ohio, is q native of the State which
has repeatedly honored him, and a
lawyer BY profession. His experience
in Congress was as a representative in
the Lower House from 1888 to 1885;
and he was twice elected to the United
States Senate, serving from 1887 to
1S49. Although somewhat advanced
n years, he retains, in a remarkable
degree, the freshness Of youth and his
usual vigor Of intellect, as fully dem
onstrated in his late admirable and
successful canvass.

Ey-President Johnson arrived IN the
city yesterday from his home at Green
vile. He has not yet fully recovered
rom the effects of his malignant at
tack OF cholera last July, but is con-
valescent. He hopes in short time
to be in the enjoyment of his usual
good health. AS the press throughout
the country has contained various
statements relative to his probable loss
by the suspension of the First National
Bank Of Washington, we gathered the
facts in the case from him, and are au-
thorized to state that when the bank
suspended the ex- president had on de-
post $4,000. He regards it's recov-
cry as a matter of doubt. If it proves
an actual loss, it will not exhaust his

COUNT DE CRAWFORD, whom the
monarchists Of France are trying to
make King, is the recognized repre-
sentative Of the old Bourbon dynasty.
His father was the Duke de Berry, who
was the presumptive successor of Louis
XVIII, and his mother was Neapo-
Titan adventures. The Duke was muir
dered before his son and heir was
born, and the widowhood of the Ouch
ess closed in dishonor. The would be
King is 81 years of age and not much
Of q man at that. 1t is a remarkable
fact that the Orleanists, who murdered
his father, are among his supporters
cr the throne.

eminent lands will be worthless for
ages, but SO soon as the road passes
through them, q market is created and
room made for the thousands Of inllni-
grants that are pouring in annually to
thiscountry from the Old World. These
immigrants come here to secure cheap
lands, but unless the area of conntry
is extended, they will be forced to set
tie where population is thick, and
lands consequently nigh priced. But,
it is hardly necessary for us to com
menf fiirthe.: on these advantages to
accrue TO the Government by aiding
the Northern Pacific Railroad, as the
subject will doubtless be presented in
far stronger terms to Congress than
we are capable of doing. We desire,
however, to contribute our views and
we believe Of this section, SO as to as
sist this great enterprise that is to ac-
complish SO much for the real advan-
tage of the nation.
The approaching session Of Congress
will be highly interesting, and the i'm
portance of it's action on great many
questions cannot well be over estima-
ted. We indulge strong hope that
Montana will receive benefit from the
legislation OF this session. Her posi-
ton demands it, and as her share has
been small III the past, it is but justice
thatsit should lie large now.

A CIRCULAR Issued by one Of the prom.
inent mercantile agencies Of the country
states that last year there were 1900 mer.
camille failures, the aggregate liabilities
being 1921 ,05B,000 Compared with 1871
this Is large increase, there having been
in that year 2,9l5 failures; with liabilities
aggrIgaling SIS, 252, 900. The increase is
said not 10 be chargeable 10 the ordinary
casualties Of business, but caused mainly
by the Chicago and Boston fires. Thus,
in liabilities, Illinois rose from five and
three quarters to eleven and 4 half mil.
lions, while Massachusetts, went from
eight 10 above twenty-five millions; so
thut in these two States nearly two thirds
OF the increase isaCcounted for, and prob
ably, If we could trace the financial effects
Of these two fires outside Of Illinois and
Massachusetts, We would DO able to &C
count for the remainder Of the increase,
New York In each year exhibited about
twenty millions and three quarters Of
losses, her figures thus remaining fixed,
while Pennsylvania rose from seven to
nine millions. The circular states that in
mercantile affairs 1872 was not strictly
speaking, q money making year.
