The Governor recommends a more thorough
system Tor obtaining statistics OF labor for general
Information, upon which subject he remarks as

pravcst and most vital Of the times They cannot be
thrust aside they will be heard they must be discussed
they Justly insist upon practical answer.
The Governor devotes considerable space to the
subject OF the new State Prison, which should be
constructed with view Of classifying the inmates,

The Cholera Advancing.

Tho Cholera which has been reported at New
Orleans for several weeks is now rapidly advanc-
ing up the Mississippi River. 1t prevails in all
the towns along the River as far up as Memphis,
where it has existed for about ten days. The first
cases of it there were pronounced cholera morbus.
by physicians. But they are now reporting It Us
sporadic" and "Asiatic' cholera. It's ravages
have been chiefly among the cOored and labor
ing classes, aud there being no organized Board
of Health in Memphis, the percentage OF fatal
cases is not accurately known. The physicians
say that, if promptly attended 10, the disease
yielis to treatment Among its latest victims are
George Moore, of the Memphis and Louisville
Transfer Company, and Henry E. Hudson, Q. S.
Attorney for Western Tennessee. Judge Hud-
son was taken I'll at midnight Of Friday, and died
al noon on Wednesday.

PoIYRamY.

The news from Utah is that the Mormons mean
to the next time their delegate to Congress,
practically polygamous representative, and
Speaker Blaine declares that no such mau shall be
allowed to take his seat. Great Britain seems
threatened with a kindred outrage. The Shah of
Persia is on his way to England with all his Cabi-
net and three wives. 1t will be a nice question
tor, we presume, the Cabinet 10 decide which of
their Maiestles shall be invited to Windsor, which
to BalmOral, and which to Osborne.
The Shah, however, takes the precaution to come
with his pocket full. He GENES, like CrGsus, with
all Pactolus for pocket money. The telegram an
nounces that he has set apart I've millions sterling
tor his European journey. How the hearts OF the
jewellers OF all Europe must futter at such an an

beautiful, and such as all may observe with earn

at Loudon Park received every attention, and there
was no lack of the exhibition of the feelings which
are so proper and becotIing upon such occasions !;
but last year the decoration was meagre and even

oARELEss USE OF MATCHES.

On Tuesday afternoon a fatal accident took
place in West Chester. A child Of John Carroll,
proprietor of the West Chester Hotel, aged two
and half years, was temporarily left alene by its
mother in a room in the second story, when she
was alarmed by its terrific screams Upon hasten-

stairs and its clothes on fire from head to foot
In her attempts to extinguish the fire by wrapping
CARPET around about it she burned her hands very
severely, but did not succeed in her efforts until
some parts Of the child's body were burned to q

matches, add IN playing with them set IRE TO its
clothes. The little sufferer survived about two
hours, during which time its screams could be
heard over the entire neighborhood.

The Clayton House At WIImIngGSn,
lelRVVnFe.

The structures Of the EAGLE on the manage
ment Of the Clayton House, we learn from dlGer-
ent persons, have had very good effect. Instead
of tough beef steaks, poor butter and weak coffee
and poor table generally they now have the best
of meats and game, good sweet butter, splendid
coffee and q very good table throughout. This is
right The Clayton Hotel is large well fur
nished building, a credit to Wilmington, and the
idea now being abandoned Of running ii on the
starvation principle il is entitled TO success. We
ale glad that the demands Of Its guests, made
through the EAGLE, for a good table have been
acceeded to. Nothing will break down a hotel
quicker than poor table, and new hotel like
the CLAYTON House which starts out with mean
and poorly cooked food, no matter what its other
appointments are, cannot succeed. The nebulous
consfstence which was served ont at the Clayton
House before the EAGLE spoke out, will not do
in a progressive city If the table Of the Clayton
House should hereafter degenerate, We will OF
course hear it, and c-itciss accordingly. One
thing we desire TO say, IN all kindness TO the pro-
prietor that he should dead-head no one, and II
an editor should want free meal, kick him out.
No independent man will sponge of of another,
particularly the proprietor Of a new hotel.-Rrad-

The Eagle is rather hard on the Clayton House.
II certainly must have fallen into some error or
its structures could not have taken this turn

The Kilboarn Dan, Bill.

On Friday, the 2Sth inst, the bill
To repeal the Kilooarn Dam charter
came up before the Senate, elieiting
much discussion. Senator Jones pro
tested against the passage of the blu,
alleging that the rights of citizens, and
Of the manufacturing interests at Kill
bourn City, would DC eacroached upon;
forgetting, however, to state that the
numbering interest had suffered thous-
ands of dollars annually, by what they
term their great necessify. Senator
Scott advocated the passage Of the bill,
and referred to the vast damage sus-
tanned by the lumbermen every spring
and fall in the transit of lumber to the
Mississippi market. Senator Potter
referred to the report Of the committee
having the bill under consideration,
which stated that the dam was q seri-
Gus obstruction and ought to be remoV-
cd. The question'arising as to the pro-

lAt tU.U Oh SUnsure.

The resolutions repor,.>. by the Po-
land Committee relative to the expu,-
sion from the House Of Cakes Ames
and Mr.. Brooks came up before the
House on the 9th inst Mr.. Sargent
offered substitute, avering that the
House had No right to expel a member
for an offenc, committed before his
election to the present congress ING
in his preamble mat the alleged often
e',S "ere committed five years ago, and
that two elections by the people had in
the meantime interviewed. The substi-
tute for the resolutions of the commit
tee, presented by Mr.. Sarjent was a set
resolutions simply condcmning Messrs
Ames and Brooks and severely censur-
inc their action. After a spirited de-
bate the resolution Of Mr.. Sarjent CEN
suring Mr.. Ames passed the House by
a vote of III yeas to - nays, and the
SPECIAL committee were relieved from
further consideration Of matter which
has engrosSed the attention Of both
Houses, and agitated the public mind
for so many weeks.
The faulc Of this grand force points
its own moral. Of course ifthe leading
spirits in mighty scheme for dcfrauci-
ing the government are to escape with
only the odium of mal-feasance attach
ing to them. the lesser fry whose skirts
are only bedabbled with the filth must
necessarially be let most severely alone.
unless possibly they may be presented
with rewards Of merit for their abne-
cation in not having robbed the treasu-
~ when they might have done it so
politely.
The simple truth probably is, that
there has been so much of fraud that
the hands of nearly all the influential
members of the august body are not
clean, and to severely punish one for a
crime In which many are involved would
be only TO open the door to a stricter
investigation and consequently more
damninr shame. 1t Is notable fact
that to get into congress neccssitatcs
the expenditure Of sums of money vast
~ greater than the lawful remuneration
OF the position. When man pays
fifty or or hundred thousand dollars
to reach position that pays him only
a nominal sum, the fact that corruption
and fraud must be rcsorted to to make
whole the deficit becomes conclusive.
That such amounts have been expended
Is a fact that is proven by recent deyel-
opments in more than one s.inyestIga-
ton the past four months. Official
purity is a misnomer The official po-
sitions once occupied by pure men in
the days Of the earlier administrations
are attaintcd. and the stencil of crime
akin to treason pervades the very at
moSphere Of our national halls Of leg
islation. 1t IS satisfaction however
to note the fact that the party whose
representatives are contaminated if not
guilty, openly regulates their action,
and has thus far become the instrument
evolving their guilt. The republican
press throughout the nation with the
grandest unanimity have scourged the
offenders adding nothing in extenuation
for their crimes, or Iisping a syllable III
palliation of their offence.
