JOURNAL, |

THAT the prosecution of single in
dUstry alone, even though that industry
be agriculture, tends inevitably to i'm.
poverishment, is conspicuously shown
IN the history of California, as it was
previously illustrated in the fortunes of
the Southern States. California ex.
ports large quantities Of wheat every
year TO Liverpool, and thirty or forty
millions Of the precious metals to the
specie consuming nations Of the world.
But she buys nearly everything that
she uses except meat and breadstufTs.
Producing 100000 pounds of wool
per annum, she sends all bat fraction.
al portion of it away, and buys SIS 0OO,.
600 worth of wooden goods per year.
Having all the necessary materials for
making the best of leather, she exports
100000 hides year, and imports 49,
732 cases of boots and shoes, worth
S4,000000. With the best facilities
all over the State for making soap aud
candles, the refuse of animals is wasted
or exported in its raw condition, and
$4,000 boxes of candles are imported
each year. The material for making
cordage, namely hemp and fla, grows
almost spontaneously, but not a yard of
rope is made, while 10000 coils are an
nually brought thousands of miles to
supply the needs of the people. And
so on. During the last ten years the
manufactures of California have actually
decreased in value, while those of the
rest of the Union have more than quad
rupled. Yet California pays in freights,
commissions, and profits on exports of
wheat and imports of goods what she
could make just as well as not, four
times as much as she did ten years ago,
and twenty times as much as she ought
to pay. Her farmers cry out, and With
justice, at the high rates of freight on
their wheat in going to market, and at
the high cost of the Decessares of life,
but do nothing toward establishing a
market at their own doors
The result is exactly what might be
expected, and what will surely befall ev.
cry community that confines itself to
one pursuit. All accounts agree in
representing the State as suffering from
excessively hard times. 1t is stated
by the San Francisco journals that.
there is at the present time more pow
erty and destitOtion in that city, more
poor people seeking work and unable
to get it, more men working at hard
wages which just enable them to live
from hand to mouth, than are to be
found in any other city of the United
States. The hotels suffer from lack of
patronage, and stores and houses are
paying only nominal rent, and this
in spite of bountifuI crops and fair
average yield Of the mines. ST Paul

Credit MObiler.

The Credit Mobiler," about which
we hear so much recently, is simply
the organization which built the Pacific
railroad. 1t was incorporated in 1854
as the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency,
and allowed to sell railroad bonds, ad-
vance money to railroads and contractors,
etc, in short, TODD anythingexcept bank
ing and the issue OF bills. In 1864 it
was fraudulently sold to Twain, Durant,
etc, and by an act of the Pennsylvania
Legislature changed its name to 1.-The
Credit Mobilier of America" The sum
received by this organization, from the
Government, was very large, and it is
thought excessive to the amount Of SIS
10000 1t is charged that portion Of
the excess at least was used as fund TO
aid in securing the favorable legislation
from Congress, giving it larger powers,
in 1867 and several prominent men Of
the Radical administration are mixed up
in the affair Thefacts may possibly be
ELECTED by an investigation which is to
be pushed forward in Congress.

The Mercury says in reference to the
lack of Of organization and fire apparatus.
We hope our own and neighboring
towns will take warning: zone engine
would have been sufficient to suppress
the fire that originated in Campbells
q Spencer's store. just one engine would
have been the means Of saving thousands
Of dollars worth Of property. But we
had no engine, and the ruins Of ten bull
dings is the result Of our indifference, or
whatever it may he called. A good en-
CINE, suitable for small towns like Car
Isle, can be had, as we are informed by
Mr.. W. w. Pike, of Maysvillc, at eight
hundred dollars. The purchase of such
an apparatus would certainly be good
investment Make it business transac-
tion-view it in the matter Of percentage
it would be a good investment. Do
not say we may have no more large fires.
Such expressions are childish, aud should
not be INDUCED in. Let the lesson taught
by Sunday morning'sfire be enough. Let
us act upon it. To be forewarned is to
be foreamred."
In reference to insurance the Meruy
says: "The advantages of insurance are
at this time very sensibly felt in Carlisle.
The sufferers who, through false sent-
ment of economy, refused to pay the
small premium which would have pro-
tected them against loss, are now mourn.
ing over their loss, are now mourning
over their folly, while those happy individ-
uals whe we're insured suffer only tenn
porary delay in their business and no
material injury"

thirteenth time in getting in Jail. He
has been issuing. recently, aweekly paper
the last copy of which fell into thehands
Of Anthony Comstock-the man who
has made it his business to~uppress OBJ
scene literature. Trains paper contained
his letters of coincidence to Woodruff and
Claim while they were in the lookup,
aud editorials denunciatory of the bible.
He was examined and consigned to the
Tombs without bail as he did not want
any bail.

Carlisle. Kcnsuc,sx. Rurncd.

The town Of Carlisle, on the Maysville
and Lexington railroad, was destroyed
by fire on saturday night last. The fire
broke out in the Masonic Bank, and
swept away about seventy-fve thousand
dollars worth of property. The dispatch
says; "The town was poorly supplied
with FIRE apparatus, and although line
of Buckets was formed and every effort
made to prevent the spreading of the fire,
it could not he checked until the best
past Of the town was in ruins" We re-
greet exceedingly that the office Of our
excellent cotemporary, the Carlisle Mer-
curry, went down with the flames.

TIE sorrsrsNA CASE.

The condition Of affairs in Louisina is
somewhat better and the people breathe
freer than for several weeks past. Not
outstanding the threats Of Pinchback
and his hungry horde, the warmoth
Legislature was permitted by the order
Of the Attorney General to peacefully
assemble on Monday last, supported by
thirty thousand orderly and determined
citizens. A movement is now being in
aururated for a thorough investigation
of the case the Senate Of the United
states, AMI faint hope is INDUCED in by
the people that the proper redress will be-
made. Almost nc entire pres. Of the
country condemns the course Of the Pres
idcpt in sustaining Judge Durrell in his
acts of Infamous usupation Of power. IL
is considered the most direct step towards
an empire yet made. 1t has resulted in
paralyzing all business and crushing the
hopes and prospects Of the people in
all their individual enterprises, by giving
their State over into the hands Of the des-
perate gang of thieves which now infest
the halls Of the Piachback Legislature.
The suffering people call for an immedi-
ate and thorough investigation, and the
punishment of the wrong-doers whoever
they may he. Will Congress shrink
from the task of an investigation and say
that the Republican party has achieved
great victory and there is now no nee
esity or policy in wasting time over the
downfall of Slater five have reached
that point when an open exposure of the
usurpations Of a. party, and one Of the
most daring aud dangerous stretches of
power which has ever occurred in the
history of the country-when a single
man can with impunity subvert State
government and wipe out State court
by the mere breath Of his mouth, and
hacked by the Supreme Magistrate and
soldiery of the government, take forcible
possession Of the Legislative halls, set
up bogus law-making power, thereby
bringing public insolvency and financial
ruin upon state.-If this will not a.
waken the people of our country to a
realization of their danger, or avail any
thing with Congress that boasts that in
point Of ability and integrity it is the
peer of any of its predecessors, then has
arbitrary government indeed already
won a victory. The questions involved
in this Louisiana affair should rise above
prejudice. If Grant had been elected by
unanimous vote the fact would not
have made the acts of Durell, Pinchback
&Co., one whit less culpable.

The second trial of Edward S. Stokes,
for the murder of james Fisk, Jr, had
been in progress for the past few weeks
without creating much interest in the
minds Of the public, and consequently
the public was considerably shocked upon
the announcement that the jury returned
a virdiet Of guilty of murder in the first
degree" on Saturday last. The jury
was out only a few hours. He was sen
fenced to be hanged on the 2sth Of Feb
ruary next. Stokes is no more than any
other man found guilty Of taking the life
of his iellow-man, and so long as thegreat
crime Of murder is punishable by hang
Ing by the neck until dead, he should 50
die according TO the sentence. The
verdict is generally approved throughout
the entire country.

In the suit by an attorney against his
client for fees, one item Of account was
in these words: Legal advice to place
your property beyond the control of your
creditors, $780," The proof shows that
the advice, as charged, was to enable the
client to convey fraudulently his proper
ty beyond the reach of his creditors.
Held-An attorney is in one sense an
officer Of the court, and owes duty to
it and to the law, as well as to the client.
He violates this duty in advising or in
structing those applying to him for coun-
sci or instruction to attempt dishonest
evasion Of the law. His official oath
binds him to discharge the duties of his
Office according to law" Fidelity to
the client neither requires or excuses ad-
vice leading to violation of the law, nor
the commission of an act or acts involv-
ing moral turpitude. When such advice
is given, or when the client is instructed
as to the means by which his creditors
may be defrauded, the attorney is not
discharging the duties of his Office, SAC
cording to the law" but in direct viola
ton of it, and promise upon the part
of the client to pay for such advice will
not be implied, nor will an express con-
tract to pay for it be enforced.

The Growing Crops.

The July report of the Department of Agri-
culture, says q Washington dispatch, repre-
sents an Improvement in winter wheat, but q
decline in the prospects of spring wheat on
account of the unreasonable weather in some
quarters, and the insect enemies in others
The average in corn is increased IN West Vlr-
ginia and Minnesota, and decreased in all the
other States, except Florida and Arkansas,
where it remains the same as last year. Corn
planting was everywhere retarded by the
weather, and in many cases the corn has been
several times replanted. The universal COM
plant of defective seed is made in all parts OF
the country.
The condition of cotton has been previous
1y given. The reports up to July 1 indicate
the crop to be s9.5 per cent. of avearge, not
including Virginia, where the culture is yet
mainly experimental.
The prospective yield of oats declined dur:
ing June in New England and the Middle and
Northwestern States except Wisconsin. II
was enhanced in all of the Gulf States except
Mississippi.
Winter rye improved in Rhode Island, Con-
n~ecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, North Caro-
lima, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. 1t remained
stationary in Georgia, and declined in all the
other States. Spring rye was below the aver
age in all the States but five, the minimum, z,
being found in California, and the maximum,
Ito, in Nebraska.
Winter barley generally declined in the
South and West, where the heavy rains pre-
vailed.
The grass crops have generally improved in
New England and the Middle States. How
ever, they were greatly shortened by the
drought.
The late winter told disastrously upon the
fruit crop. The injury to the apple trees was
more extensive than was apparent at the last
report. Vast number of peach trees were
killed. The condition of the grape crop
ranged from 81 in California; to 127in Nebraska,
100 representing the average.
The average in potatoes remained the same
as last year, or increased in twenty-five States
and decreased in all the others. The Colorado
beetle has extended it's ravages eastward, being
reported for the first time in several counties
of New York. 1t was still devastating in the
West, but the farmers had learned in many
counties how to destroy it effectually. The
maximum condition of the crop, Ill, was
found in Georgia, and the minimum, 76. in
Delaware.
