Something about One Hundred and
Ten Thousand Dollars,
rom the jackson (Miss.) Pilot.D

1t is a ter of some interest to the
public TO know exactly how a recent transac.
tion ofGovernor Powers's was finally consun1-
mated. 1t looks quite plain on its face, but
there might be a cat in the meal tub some
where, and the late auditor, in his report, ap-
pears to know as little about it as the outside
world-that is, he has an unofficia statement
that, without his agency, the small SUM OF
one hundred and ten thousand dollars passed
into the State treasury, to the credit of the
New Orleans, jackson and Great Northern
railroad, and the very same day passed out
again, as due and payable to the Vicksburg
and Ship Island railroad company. Would IL
not have been the better way for the vouchers
in this little business to have been made pub
lie with other financial measures of the State,
at the close OF Governor Powerss term of

CORN AND H0GSs
Comparative Figures Compiled By the
National Crop Reporter from she
northwestern States.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, February L.
The National Crop Reporter contains esti-
mates in relation to the percentage of the last
cTop OF corn remaining in the hands of pro-
ducer,s up to January 18th, and estimates
OF the number OF stock hogzin the hands of
feeders up TO the same date In comparison
with the quantity and number on hand for
the corresponding time OF 1873. In relation 10
corn, it states that Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Ohio and Missouri, which produced in 1873 up
ward Of 49,, 0O0 bushels, the average amount
on ha nd at the date named Is estimated at
traction less than fifty per cent. on an ap-
proxiinate quantity OF l80,00O,0Oo bushels. The
average consumption is very uniform In ali
the States, being higher in Wisconsin, sixty
per cent. The unusually mild weather In all
localities has aided largely in Keeping down
the home consumption, and the condluon OF
the stock generally is better than was antlci-
pated month earlier. The estimates upon
stock hogs are for the States named ABOVE,
and indicate an average falling on OF twenty
one per cent. from the number on hand q year
ago. The condition of the same Is consider
aoly below the average, the high prices paid
oy packers and the scsrcityof corn having
caused an outflow OF the marketable hogs,
