&" THE CALLED JADE"

Mr.. Louis J. Jennings, the unnaturalKed
English editor of the New York TINES. is
in hot water. The effect Of TIE National
REPUBLICANS criticisms on his ineompe-
tency and ignorance Is coming back TO the
Times Office in the shape Of disguised senii-
ment and reduced subscriptions. People
who felt thst there was something wrong
In the Times have discovered through the
exposures Of The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
Just what II was. Already the sentiment
Is so strong that he has been compelled for
his own comfort TO avoid the Union League
Club, of which he at one time vsinly es-
sayed to become q member.
But the fellow proposes to retaliate!
Just as though, in mean and cowsrdly
way, he had not begun the very contro-
versy Of which he now complsinsI And
how does he propose to retaliatei Let Us
uncover the editorial ostrich and reveal his
little game. He declares In private, We un-
derstand. and he supports the declarations
by the illusions to certain people In his
articles, that he means to shut of The
NATIONAL REPUBLICANS criticism; that
the President, General Babcock, and ex.
Governor Cooke and Governor Shepherd
can control u, and If they don't stihs our
criticisms, he win attack them. This pro.
grsmme he has already begun to carry out.
Yesterday ne attacked the President and
Governor Shepherd in his malicious and
cowsrdly way, for the purpose. apparent on
the very face, of evoking their Influence In
his behalf He virtually says in yesterdays
Times, Gentlemen, you see to 1t that TEE
I" NATIONAL RBRUBLIcANce ceases its assaults
" on me, or win use the Times as Q club
with which 70 assal your .-s.5 +
We shall see. ANY stupid fool. who has
any knowledge q the character Of the gen.
tlemen named, would know enough NOS 70
approach them in that manner, And 4
Mr.. Jennings thinks they had anything 70
dowith our course toward him Let him pro.
cesdin this direction until he discover bis
mistake. One word more. Does Mr.. Jen.
nings really want Us to write history q
personal corruptioni If 50 we know Of a.
editors career commencing In tits city
about the year 1885 which perhaps he would
not enjoy seeding In print. :

"a TRIBUTE TO ". W. cORCoRAN."
We have upon our table-received from the
publishing house of Porter & Costes, Of Phila.
delphia--a monograph, entitled "a Tribute to
W. W. Corcoran." It is neat In execution,
printed upon tinted paper, and contains an
admirable likeness of Mr.. Corcoran, together
with excellent autographs Of "The Louise
Home" and "The Corcoran Art Gallery p
The matter Is from the graceful and sprightly
pen Of our fair fellow-eitizen, Mrs. N. z. p.
Bouligny, already most fayorsbly known to
the world of letters as the suthoress Of an en-
gsging book of travels called " Bubbles and
Ballast" as well % numerous sketches, all
bearing the impress Of her beautiful mind.
Mrs. Bouligny makes rapid sketch OF the life
Of Mr.. Corcorap, of his many noble acts Of
charity, aai gives quite full description OF
the Louise Home and the Art Gallery and itI
treasures. Throughout its perussl we feel the
glow Of q good woman's heart, embalmed In Z
poets fancy, painted By an artists hand.

THE prompt appropriation yesterday by
the House Of Representatives, on motion of
Mr.. Garfield, of 500, 900 for the immediate
relief of the sufferers by the Mississippi
foods will meet the sincere and hearty COM
mendation of the people everywhere.
Calamities occasioned by the elements,
which no human foresight can guard
against appeal most strongly to the sympa-
thies Of mankind. 1t Is fitting, therefore,
that the representatives of the people in
their collective capacity should act as the
slnoner Of the nation, and in the fearful
exigency presented give Of their treasure q
due proportion TO alleviate the distresses Of
those citizens who at this time happen to be
the victims of disaster. A poll tax of two
mills per capits Of our present population
win pay the appropriation. and the relief
viii be effective because it viii be at once
available. -

Mn. GARFrELD's EXPLANATION In the
House yesterday of the expenditures pro-
vided for by the general appropriation bill
was 30 forcibly put as to deserve the undl-
vided attention which 1t received. 1t Ia
absolutely impossible, however. that one
man should be able to comprehend the en-
tire scope Of the bill, and It Is not impossi-
BILE that the committee Of which he Is a
most competent chairman has overlooked
some important points. While we believe
that as whole the bill has been carefully
drawn. and prepared with the sole object
of reaching desirable economy. 1t is evident
that the provision, giving to the Official
Gasette, hybrid Patent Office publication,
all Of the Government advertising is capable
of such a construction as to make the Gov
eminent liable for the payment of q larger
sum Of money than the aggregate amount
paid to all the newspapers printed in the
District Of Columbia during the past six
wears g.

Since the election of Mr.. Jewett presi-
dent of the Erie Railroad, some speeula-
tions as to his successor as Vice Presi-
dent of the Pan Handle have been cur
rent. Sould an Eastern man be elected,
it is said that the General Ticket and
Freight Office will be removed from
Columbus TO Pittsburgh.
An investigation into the charges against
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, is TO be forth
with made, at the request of Mr.. Beecher
himself Mr.. Beecher, at last, has taken
a very proper course in this matter for
many charges may be brought against
public man which it is his duty to pass
over in silence, there arc others which it
is equally his duty 10 answer. Mr.. Tilton's
accusations seem to come within the latter
class. The public will be surprised, and
not altogether pleased, to learn that Mr..
Beecher has named the men by whom he
wishes the inquiry TO be conducted. We
should expect one perfectly innocent, and
confident of his ability to establish his in
nocence, to lay the whole matter unre-
servedly before his church and society
and leave the result with them. Accused
persons, are not, in ordinary cases, allow
ed to choose the jurors who shall pass
judgment upon them and we are unable
to see in what respect Mr.. Beecher's case
is so peculiar as to demand departure
from usage. Another feature of the inves-
tigation which will be unfavorably COM
mented on, is the delay of the committee
in citing Theodore Tnton. He stands in
the relation of prosecuting witness, and
should have been the first man summoned
TO give testimony.
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-07-18

A FIRE occurred at Wehawken,
n. ]. the location of the N. Y. d
Erie oil deposits, on the morning
of the 18th, and all the oil in tanks
was destroyed. A gang of two hum
dred men were put to work, at tear
ing up and laying track. The fire.
men managed to save the brick ware
house, and Superintendent Sweet
expected to ship.oil by the next morn
ing. A temporary dock is being
built about one hundred yards above
the old wharf. The total number
of barrels burned was eighty-hve
thousand and about sixty thousand
barrels of naptha, and Watson, the
hook keeper of the Erie Company
intimates that 100000 will cover
the total loss.

wheat Growing in Nebraska.

This State is now attracting considera-
bic attention as one of the best fields for
settlement in the Union. In climate and
soil it meets the conditions required for
the successful cultivation OF all the pro-
ductions of the temperate zone, and also
ofthe sub-tropic.
1t is not often that corn and whea
thrive equally well in any country but
as it is In Nebraska, corn is the first staple
crop, of course, but so soon as the farmer
is well settled upon the land, he puts in
wheat. The wheat of Nebraska is in good
favor and in the st. Louis and Chicago
markets its price averaged several cents
per bushel more than the wheat OF the
nelghboring States can command. In
bread making qualities the wheat of
Nebraska only ranks second to that of
California, with which it does not come
into completion.
The agricultural triumphs which have
been achieved in Nebraska are the work OF
little more than ten years, and, as the
the country is settled, and the position of
the farmer becomes easier, wheat ranks
highest among the crops of the country.
In 1860, when the population was twen-
eight thousand the wheat crop amounted
to 147, 1857, bushels or about 514 bushels
per head and, in 1870, when the popula-
ton was 122, 900, the wheat crop was q
I24,Os6 bushels, or little under 171z
bushels per head.
The population of 1878 can only be es-
timated, and therefore it is best not given;
but the wheat crop of that year (which
was an unfavorable agricultural year,
amounted to 100000 bushels. The
record is therefore still one of advance
ment for the young State; and 1t is to
be remembered that stock raising, fruit
culture, corn growing, and all their ag-
ricultural work advances equally with
wheat raising. Nebraska is therefore a
promising State for the settler; and the
more especially since it has good mar
kets both east and west and south.
