rhc Balance OF Trade


The statistics Of our exports and inn
ports for the last fiscal year, show 40 ex,
traordnarly heavy balance Of trade against
the United States. Our imports OF for
eigh merchandise were 1856, $4,000 and
onraexports estimated in gold were $444
046, ,0s6,t showing a balance against the
country Of 1881 ,549,99l. But the value
OF goods remaining in warehouses on the
3Oth of june 1871 was $6S,324, $50,
against $l22,2Il ,266F at the same date in
1872, showing an excess Of the latter year
Of S53 3,ss6,G07 These goods were i'm
ported but had not passed into The trade
of the country. Subtracting this excess,
the balance Of trade against us based on
the actual consumption Of the country
would be reduced TO .sl2s,652,3s4. But
besides this we exported SG6,l32,s45 more
gold than we imported, and deducting this
excess again from the above, the actual
balance Of trade against us on all accounts
stands at $62, ,528, ,539. This large balance
Of trade is due to excessive importatiors
and diminished exports. Tins tue export
Of wheat and flour was $4,000 less in
li1s72 than 10 1871; exports of raw cotton
$37 100000 less Of merchandise over
| $l3O90,000 less, etc! But there was also
q gain on numerous articles, including man.
ufactures Of iron, amounting 10 the aggre
gate 10 nearly ST0,0000O0.

All meeting Of the Caledonian Society,
Mai. iLuxon, Of Kentucky University, in
response to a toast, related. the following
beautiful incidents;
zone Of the best Illustrations Of faith
ftiness ever knew was The remarkable
history Of Scotch terrier of whom the
papers have spoken, He belonged to a
very poor man, whose grave is scarcely dis
cernable; yet for thirteen years he has
kept watch and guard overit, and neither
by coaxlng or by strategem has he ever
been prevented from passing his nights
there. He has been fed regularly. for six
years at restaurant near the churchyard,
going always at noon at the sound Of the
time gan but no matter how rough the
night may be, he has never been known to
desert the grave and When persons have
attempted to keep him within doors. his
dismal bowling has always secured his re-
lease. This seems to me about the most
wonderful dog story l ever heard. They
called him Grey Friars' Bobby"

A Wisconsin paper contains the follow

One who does not believe in immersion
for baptism was holding a protracted meet

Of baptism. In the course Of his remarks,
be said that some believe it necessary to 90
down into the water, and come up out OF
it, to be baptised. But this be claimed to
be fallacy, for the proposition "ihto'' Of the
Scriptures should be rendered differently,
as it doesnot meaninto atall times. "Alo-

EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE SENATE
MONDAY, March n.


The Vice President submitted papers and
documents from members Of the Legislature OF
Missouri and others, alleging corruption i'm the
election OF Mr.. Bogy Senator from that state.
Referred TO committee on privileges and cleo
tons.
Mr.. Wright submitted resolution of INQUIRY
To the committee on rules as TO the expediency
OF providing hereafter that debate shah be con

time for a majority 10 demand the previous
question; that special rules shall be prohibited,

The resolution was laid over under objection
of Mr.. Mefrimon.
The resolution declaring the seat OF Alexan-
DER Caldwell, OF Kansas, vacant, was then taken
up.
Mr.. Salisbury spoke Of the circumstances at
tending the election OF Mr.. Caldwell, and held
that corruption was undoubted. He expressed
the opinion that the Senate should par &c itself
OF the dishonor which had been cast upon IL
and he maintained that the proper and appro-
pirate remedy was expulsion.

tials OF his colleague, Hon. Geo. =. Boutwell,.

was sworn in.
Mr.. Pratt said that after murder. no ether
offence exceeded bribery m enormity. Bribery
sapped the foundations of society, and was
against justice, good morals and public policy
The committee found that Caldwell was guilty
ofbribery; and this, in the opinion of the com
mittee. inyalidated his election. The bargain
with Carney, Mr.. y. characterized as corrupt
and said that II was exactly equivalent TO "A
purchase OF the votes of the members of the leg

INSANITY IN THE ToMBs.-An interesting
examination was made on Friday by Drs. Ham
mond and Cross to ascertain the mental copdi-
ton OF two murderers now confined in the
Tombs, New York, and also to pronounce upon
the alleged insanity of George Francis Train
One of the murderers was pronounced perfectly
sane; the other, Eeahy, who murdered his wife
recently. is attempting the same trick that was
tried by Gaffney, the Buffalo murderer, with as
little effect. By a close scrutiny, both secretly
and in the presence OF the prisoners, the physi-
Clans have conducted their examination, and
appearance of Leahy that he is only feigning
insanity to escape the consequences Of his
crime. George Francis Train Is reported a.
certainly insane. His conversation is discon-
nected, and he is the victim of the most prepos-
ferrous delusions. He declared i'm the presence
OF the physicians that when he returned from
Europe he expected to be elected President OF
the United States, but now he is convinced that
the people OF the country are corrupt, and that
il is going to ruin.
