The auction sale fthe undevised effects
ex-senator Sumner called together large
crowd ofhis admirers and trophy gather
ers. His furniture, it is said, was of the
most ordinary kinds, with few exceptions
but it brought prices, IN many instances
ten fold its intrinsic value. The colored
hotel keeper, a friend and admirer OF
Mr.. Sumner, took the lead in bidding.
and so far outra his pale face compeIi-
tors as to shame them into defiant bidding
He purchased the dead Senator's entire
dining room out-fi t and it is said will fit
up Summer dining room" The Sena-
tors stock of rare old wines and brandies,
very naturally inspired the most spirited
bidding. These were ranged op tables
extending the entire length of his dining
and sitting rooms and brought from four
to twenty one dollars per bottle. Fred
Douglass and Geo. T. Downing. were as
watchfully alert as Wormley, that none
of the Senator's cheering beverages should
go on at any OuI INC mOst eAOl OllaHI
prices. OF course these liquors were
mainly purchased for "mementOes' rath-
er than for tipple. 1t is estimated that the
entire sale netted near twenty thousand
dollars, whereas the intrinsic value of all
the property sold would not exceed five
thousand. Wormley's bids more than
quadrupled in extent and iberality, any
other purchaser.

Pronts Orsheep Farming in Nebraska

The farmers who settle on the fertile
prairies of Nebraska, should make live
stock" a watchword. A correspondent in
that State sends us the following encour-
aging showing" made by Mr.. Myres, of
Gage County in the Southern portion OF
the State and branch of the Burlington
& Missouri River Railroad runs through
ii The land is good and the natural
grasses sweet and nutritiVe; but it is no
more than a fair average of Nebraska,
south of the Platte.
Mr.. Myres thus Figures" the problem
of sheep farming in Nebraska, with a
flock of 1 900 head :-one hundred tons OF
hav. consisting of $500 per ton for putting
M. $500 five hundred bushels of sheaf
oats. 800 shcpherding for 8 months,
$3.50 wages for one man four months,
do. one month $50; washing, shearing
and packing wool, $500: salt, $35 she'd
ding for winter, $50; losses at two per
cent, $70-total, $l,035; 400 lambs, at
$3.50 $1,000 total, $500.
Mr. Myres considers his allowance for
expenses very liberal. He charges hay
at too Dlgn ngure ana tne percentage
ofloss is not generally so large as stated,
as sheep are subject to no disease what
ever, on the Nebraska prairie. One man
also could take charge of q flock of q
thousand during the summer months; and
in winter, one boy could feed them, and
1t is best to let the sheep run to the hay
all the time. and the oats are to be fed in
the sheaf Mr.. Myers further claims that
if farmer will do most of his work him.
self, hiring help only when it is necessary
for harvesting hay, shearing, &C, the
sheep.will pay him $500 per head, as
against $500 when help is hired liberallY.
Mr.. Myers estimates his sheep to be worth
$3.50 each. On 900 sheep the investment
would be So 300 and, as the net profit
shown above amounts to 1865, the re-
turn On the investment is over 90 pei
cent.

The New York Times has a compe.
tent correspondent investigating the sub
ject of taxation in South Carolina. He
makes it tolerably clear that taxation is
enormously high, amounting in many
cases to actual confscation. The average
rate is four and half per cent This up
on a fair valuation would be very high
twice that of New York city but the
facts cited by the correspondent go to
show thai the valuation of property for
purposes of assessment is very high,
reaching, in some instances many times IFS
cash value By this means a tax nomi-
nally of four and one fifth per cent. may
become tax of seven or ten per cent
When taxation reaches any such proper
ton as this, 1t swallows up the entire in
come from property, or even more, and
becomes conhscation.

A genuine sensation was caused on
Tuesday morning last by the appearance,
of letter from the President to Senator
Jones' defining the financial views of the
Executive. By most it is viewed as a
sort Of veto Of the supposed agreements
of the Committee of Conference on the
dIsagreements of the House on the Fl
nance Bills. There is little doubt but
that it was drawn forth at this juncture
by little artiice on the part of certain
leading coniraetionIsts. The Presidents
opinions are tersely stated, and men o.
equal honesty and ability, take directly
opposite views Of the soundness of his po-
sitions. There are out at this date, one
hundred and eighty eight millions OF the
Governments promises to pay, below the
denominations of len dollars. To at once
Withdraw this circulation with any hope
of at once replacing so vast an amount
with gold and silver is simply impossible.
The repeal of the Legal Tender Act
would at once thump everything down
upon specie hard-pan, and where is the
nation and the Bank TO get the five hun
dred and more millions, required for the
sudden Transformation. Some more prac-
iicable plan than the Presidents must be
devised, for that can't be made to work
without radical alteration.

CELESTIAL DIsTANCEs.-The United
States, England, Russia, Germany. France
and some of the English colonies in the
South Pacific, are all on the point of dis
patching expeditions to the OF her side of
the globe to make observations of the
transit of Venus across the suns disc, on
the 9Th of December next. The United
States war steame Swatara left New York
on the 9th, with the American scientists,
for the South Pacific. The transit will be
visible in Asia, Australia, the East Indies,
and part of Africa. The object of the OBJ
servations, as is by this time well under
stood, is the determination of the exact
solar parallax so as to rectify all previous
calculations as to celestial distances.
The United States will send out eight
expeditions, five of which sailed on the
Swatara. The first will occupy Crozet, a
rocky island 1900 miles southeast of the
Cape of Good Hope; the second, DesoIa-
ton Island, 900 miles eastward of Crozet;
the third party will leave the ship at Ho-
barts Town, Van Deiman's Land, about
5000 miles eastward from Desolation Is
land; the fourth will be left at Auckland,
New Zealand, about 1900 miles from Ho-
bart Town, and the fifth at Chatham Is
land, about 900 miles from Auckland.
Here the ship will remain as protection
to the party, the natives of this and the
neighboring island of Cornwalls not being
absolutely trustworthy, as they are some
what strangely suspected of cannibalism,
and the party will make their home upon
the ship.
In addition, our Governm ent sends out
three expeditions by way of San Francis
co, v adlrostock, Russia. Pekin, China,
and Nsgasaki, Japan.

The Treasury Department has under
gone some changes Of late Solicitor
Bantield resigned. The President nomi-
mated Secretary Richardson as Judge Of
the Court of Claims, and General Benja-
min d. Bristow. of Kentucky, as Secreta-
ry of the Treasury. Both were confirmed
on Tuesday Of last week. 1t is under
stood that Secretary Bristow only con-
sented 10 enter the Treasury on condluon
that Mr.. Sawyer should retire. and his re-
signation is expected speedily.
Only personal friends of Judge Richard
son can feel regret at his retirement 1t
!. the almost Universal verdict that he
has failed. The error ofiudgment or neg
Iect of duty which suffered the Sanborn
contracts to be made and carried out,
with SO much detrlment to the country
and scandal upon the administration,
made his resignation inevitable. But this
was BY no means his only fault He was
weak in administration, undecided in pol
icy and totally lacking in the knowledge
requisite to originate and carry out any
comprehensive measures of finance. de
gained the confidence neither of the in.
aatiouists or of the hard money men
He inflicted a wrong upon the country
by reissuing a part of the Cancelled debt ol
the nation under the false plea of ire
serve" He brought ridicule upon him
self by the wonderful scheme of resumlne
silver payments. Having made Oao
bargain, be tried to shelter himself from
blame by asserting that he made it only
as a matter of routine, and that his po"
ers were limited. He has done no'nins
n the Treasury that will be rememoere q
| to his credit
The now Secretary makes no pretentlon
70 rrest requirements in economic SCI
ence but in this he is an improvement on
his predecessor, who ignoraDtly tancied
bimselfa great fnanc cier. But General
BristoW has reputation as lawyer oil
high character, extensive learning and
signal ability. He has all that the most
"loyar" could ask in the shape of war
record. He was Solicitor-General, or
First Assistant Attorney General while
the now forgotten Akerman was at the
head of the Department of Justice, and
won universal praise. When Mr.. Will
hams was nominated for Chief Justice,
General Bristow was to succeed him as
Attorney General, hoped for that change
at least. He is usually popular with men
of all parties, is believed to be thorough
ly honest man, and received the compll-
ment of an unanimous confirmation by
the Senate.
