And when there, his movements were
not chafactetifed by nervous haste.

his bsotsg4in tho waste basket, and
replace them with roomy slippers.
Thon, .eleyating his slippered feet to
q comfortable cushion on the ex-
change papers (their only qegitimat
use in his estimation), it was his
wont to lay back in his chair, swing
ing himself lahily on its pivot, and
tell stories of wit and wisdom by the
hour to the associate editors. This
was vastly pleasant. to all CONCERNED
but somehow it did not work in tho
way of making newspaper, and at

the conclusion that publishing anews.

ever, retained his interest IN the Ex-
press for about year and half,

part in the 'aotive' management for
more than six weeks. Mark married
the daughter of TJargis Aargdon, of
Elmlra, New Y York, tho heaviest hs1sr1 coal
operator in the West. His property
was valued high as $50, 100000 in
his life, and had he lived to get all
his irons out Of the fire, perhaps that
amount might have been realized
but leaving everything by the ends,
there has been great rshrihkage' (the
word, Ibelieye) in The value of assets.
Still there is enough left to divide a

that can be claiIned by Amos over Fisk,
so far as money matters are concerned.
Both had colossal irnpudence. One of them
bribed ut Albany and the other at Washington.
But, with all his sssuYance, James Fisk, Jr, new
er had impudence enough, when he was taxed
by opposing counsel in his numerous suits with
the manner in which ho had made his money, to
pretend that he had conferred great public
benefit upon the country, and therefore was not
only e1cusuble, but ought to be admired, and
ought to have public monument.
We ehall not overlook, nor underestimate,
any o; Mr. A,nes services in the construction Of
tho Pacific Railway, but We insist that the risk
ho ran in that enterprise has boon reduced to =
negative quantity in the light thrown upon it by
the investigation. If Amos is entitled to credit
for bringing Alley md other capitalists into it,
then is Durant entitled to greater credit for
bringing Ames in. When tue investigation
reaches the door OF Durant, if it gets 80 fat,
no venture to say te will not proffer his claims
to public monument as an offset to charges Of
bribery and corruption.

the nuisance farther away. It is no greater
hardship to be compelled to move fourteen
miles now than it was in 1867. Having become
an intolerab1e nuisance, this establishment
must bear the fate Of all such bad neighbora,
and move on. It's products arc sold at the East,
and each mile its factory mo7es eastward it will
be that much nearer to market
Tho talk about sacrificing the business OF Chi
cago by breaking up this nuisance in HYDE Park
is idle. There was q time when this olfa1 vas
thrown into the river, and it wss then declared
that to stop that nuisance would be to drive the
packing businesa away. But tho law was en-
forced; then came tho factory at Bridgeport,
and at last the one at Ainsworth; aud now, in
the progress Of the city's growth, is tho require
mcnt that it go further of. But admitting that
We have no choice, and that VIC must endure this
fearful nuisance or stop killing arimals by the
million, tho question with which We begin thia
article arees whether hog and beef killing ia the
chief end Of MANI and whether our moral and
physical health, comfort and enjoyment, must
be subordinated to the privilege Of a few por-
sons to slaughter animals and dry their
offal in the open air7 Is that tho end for which
We vera brought into tho world? Are the
health and comfort Of tho 10000 people OF
Chicago and its suburbs nothing against tue
great charter to slaughter animals and convert
their offal into manure?

The Soldiers Bounty Land bill, now pending
in the Senate, is bill to confer the smallest
possible benefit upon tho soldiers, ut the lnrgest
possible cost to the country. The Government,
long ago. Offered it's public lands (by the Home
stead law to actual settlers, including soldiers,
for nothing. Thin bill virtually repeals the
Homestead law, for it Sweeps away the entire
public domain. II the Homestead act was
wise and beneGcent measure, this Bounty bill is
al ,1nwise and nefarious one. We lay down tho
proposition as indisputablo, that no man needs to
get land for less than nothing. ANY soldier
can get 160 acrcs Of land for
nothing. He ought not to have it my cheaper.
If it is the monoy-value of the lnud that is
wanted, then far better would it be to appro-
pirate the amount from the Treasury, and renew
the incomo-tn1 to raise it, for the land is fixed
and limited quantity, while tho money TINT can
he raised by taxation is practically without limit.
II the amount of money which the soldiers
would actually get ont Of the Bounty Land bill
could be accurately estimated and separated
from the expected gains OF spectators, it would
not require an enormous appropriation to satisfy
their claims.

The Davenport Gazette advocates an appro-

more Corn at the mouth Of the Mississippi is as

This principal market Is not Europe, but the
Eastern States Of America: The Northern Lakes,

are precisely on the line OF this market. The
Mississippi River, with without the st. Philip
