Pork Packing.

The twenty.6fth annual report OF
the Cincinnati Price Current presents
some interesting statistics in pork
packing in the Western States for the
winter season beginning November lst:
1878, and ending March lst, 1874.
1t seems that the total number Of hogs
packed in the Western States for the
season of 1874, amounted to $780,.
200, against 5.410,Sl4 Of the previous
year Though the number of hogs pack
Ell during the season 1874 WAS larger
than that of 1923, yet the average
weight and the average yield of lard
was less, the average weight per hoe
being y per cent. less, and the aver
age yield Of lard per hog being l2S
less. The cost Of hogs this season
was s5.43 per 100 pounds net, an
increase of 163 per cent. on the Year
1923. According to the report, the
pork packing interests gravitate West
ward. The Western States show :
gradual and steady increase in this
important branch Of industry. The
statistics, however, present Missouri
behind for this season, and Kentucky,
once So prolific in hogs, is rapidly de-
clining in this particular, other indus
tries being more profitable ior her.

an Ixs,s,ortu,st Matter.

Four or five weeks ago We called
the attention of the people Of Newber-
ry to the resolutions Of the Tax-pay-
ers' Convention, providing for the Or
canizstion of Immigration bureaus Ill
I'll the Counties of tire State, snd urg-
"a the i,Inieliate formation Of a Eu-
rsau in this County. For some fea-
son or other no step III this direction
has been taken i'll Newberry. The re-
ouest Of Mr. +. MclchcrS, State Conn
missioner Of Immigration, who wishes
this subject brought prominently be-
fore the plblic. snd the grest lmP0F-
tance of the matter itself, are sufficient
reasons for again returning to it.
Az yet, .l..sc resolutions have met
with very meagre support ON the
part of tie people: very few Of the
Couuties having had meeting for the
purpose Of csFsying them out 1t
seems that the ma; 1rity Of men think
that when the Convention passed res
olutious and adjourned, the work 10
better our condition was done. But
this is an error The Convention was
hat the starting, directing power; 1t
vet rests With the people to execute and
accomplish what ispropcseS apa be-
gun.
The spirit of the Convention should
actuate the men who are represented
BY it, and who gave 1t existence
Without this support it is like the
form of man without vitality.
Now. this matter Of Immigration
should not be let to grow cold. 1t
ought to be acted upon at once, and II
there is any value in the proposed
plan, we ought to find it out by put
ting it to the test
It is supererogation in us to urge
the Importance Of immigration at this
late day. when everybody who th;uks
has talked about it, and believes it to
b. certainty. Nobody questions the
fact that We need immigrants. But
many differ as to the plan Of securing
them, some preferring it to be done by
individual effort, and others through
sn organization like the contemplated
bureau Both plans have merit, t!is
former probably better securing quail
ty, snd the latter better securing quAn-
tity, aud yet We See no reason why r'-
thcr way, under proper management,
may not attain both objects. Nor need
the our l.4sasSarily exclude the other.
The question presents itself TO rs,
however, in this light. Here is plan
proposed by body Of men, whom We
| all believe to b. wise and PATRIOTIC
1t seems easy o1d feasible. It looks
like it would be cheap and Efficient
! It will secure concer. in action, and
sys!ematize effort. Now let us try it.

We are in receipt of a pamphlet, con-
tanning the speech of the Hon. Norton
P. Chapman. of the District of Colum-
bia. in the House Of Representatives,
Feb. 90, 1874. ably discussing the reil-
tons Of the District of Columbia to the
General Government, whether Wash
ington city is the capital of the United
States, or the capital Of the District of
Columbia, and the duty of the nation to-
ward its capital. The proposition which
he forcibly argues and endeavors to cs-
tablish is, that the history Of the loca-
ton of the capital. the declarations OF
its founders, the provisions of the deed
Of conveyance made by the proprletors
of &hc sale, the contemporaneonS acts
the plan of the city, and the legislation
Of Congress. shows distinct and unnlIs-

to offer Immigrants, none will come, as
