The Crops of 1874.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE PRODUCTION OF GRAIN,
HAY, POTATOES, ETC., IN THIS COUNTRY.
The st. Louis Democrat has pr ocured from j.
r. Dodge, the Statistician Of the United States
Bureau of Agriculture, the footinss of Ills forth
coming statement of the crops Of 1874 as fol
lows:
On the first of January 1874, the number Of
swine of all ages in the United Slater aggregated
nearly 100000, az deducted from returns Of
county correspondents, of which fully 1900, 900
were in the eight States of the Ohio aud Missouri
Valleys. In September last returns were re-
ceived showing the comparative numbers and
condition of fattening hogs. A declie from the
amount of stock fattening III September of the
previous year was reported in every Western
State, amounting to twenty-four per cent in
Kentucky, thirteen in Ohio, eight in Michigan
seventeen in Indiana, fifteen i'll Hin 's, fifteen
in Iowa, seventeen in Missouri, and twenty in
Kansas in these eight States the average de-
cline from last year being seventeen per cent.
Their condition at that date was also low, the
depreciation below a fair average hcing eleven
per cent. The returns were very full, and these
deductions doubtless represent witt reasonable
accuracy the status of swine fattenin5. In Sep
tember last preliminary estimate o; crops make
the principal aggregates AZ follows Corn, 8l2,
900, 900 bushels wheat, 900, ,000,0 0 bushels !;
oats, 27O,000,000 bushels; barley 100000 600
bushels potatoes, 105, 900, 900 bushels hay, 49,,
600, 900 tons.

The Electoral Co IIege system.

SOME OF THE EVILS Az Seen BY MIR. MORTON, AND
UPON WHICH HE WILL ENDEAvoH TO FORCE THE
PASSAGE OF HIS BULL
Senator Morton will attempt to-day it is an
nounced from Washington, to call up in the SEN
ate his resolution and report in favor of chang
ing the mode of choosing President and Vice
President of the United States This subject
which he has heretofore failed to interest the
Senate in, has, since the elections last Fall,
gained a new Importance Under the operation
of the 2lst joint rule of the two Houses, if eth
or branch of Congress persists in it's objection
to the vote OF any State, it must be thrown out.
Precedent for rejecting the votes of States for
fraud or informality have already been estab-
lished. II the returns from enough States
should be rejected to deprive either candidate of
majority of the electoral college, then the cleo
ton will be thrown into the House. If the cleo
toral vote at the next Presidential election should
be very close, as it now promises to be, it
might be necessary to reject the vote of only
one or two States to deprive either candidate of
a majority. For instance, the House, which
will be Democratic, might object to counting the
vote of one or two Southern States on account
OF the interference of the Federal Government,
with the army or by the use of overflow bacon,
or for any other reason, and thus throw the
election into the House, insuring the choice OF
Democrat, although majority of the electoral
votes may have been cast for the Republican
candidate. In such an event no one could fore
tell what dangers to the peace Of the country
might arise. In view of these facts Senator
Morton hopes to excite an interest in his resolu-
ton, and for that purpose has prepared careful
speech on the subject.

Beating the Detectives.
HOW A PHILADELPHIA QUAKEREss AND HER LoyEI
GOT AHEAD OF THE oFFIOERI,

HOW A PHILADELPHIA QUAKEREss AND HER LOVER
GOT AHEAD OF THE oFFIoERI,
Gen. Alfred Storms of Philadelphia, and a
pretty young Quakeress named Kellogg, were
married by Squire Hall, in Hudson county, N.
j., on New Years day. Miss Kellogg's parents
objected to the marriage, because Gen. Storms
was not of their faith, but the General induced
the daughter to marry him Notwithstanding their
objections.
Miss Kellogg quit her home about two months
ago, writing to her mother that she intended
to enter convent, and that 1t would be useless
to search for her. Gen. Storms had made ar
rangements for her reception in cottage occu-
pied by an elderly couple named Steinbrenner,
in Wassessing, N. j., and on Friday they went
before Squire Hall. Detectives were put on
Miss Kelloggs track an on Friday last they
traced her to the little house in Wassessing.
They entered the cottage and produced wAr-
rant for her arrest.
Gen. Storms said that he was her husband, but
the detective would not believe him. At length
the officers, the fair captive, and Gen. Storms
were driven to Squire Halls. The Justice said
that he would like to speak to Miss Kellogg in
private, and she went into back room with
HIM. In moment he called to Gen. Storms to
step into the room. The General quickly obey
ed, and while the detectives paced the floor of
the 'Squire's office Gen. Storms and Miss Kel-
logg were made husband and wife.
When the trio reappeared before the detectives
Squire Hall said that he was satisfied that Gen.
Storms and Miss Kellogg were husband ana wife,
and that was the end of it as far as the de &C.
tives were concerned Gen. Storms and his bride
went to Philadelphia on Saturday.

The lumber trade is said to be next in imp rt-
ance in this country to the iron. The lumber
dealers estimate that $144, 100000 is invested in
this industry, with an annual production of
S210, 100000, affording employment to 100000
men. Pennsylvania ranks first, with an annual
production of S2S 93s. 9S5. New York stands
second producing timber to the amount of 1921,
23s. 22S, giving employment to 400 men. The
amount of pine and hemlock timber yet stand
ing in the forests of the timber States Is estima-
ted at 225, 900, 100000 feet.

Political Notes.

correspondent of the New York Tribune says
there are we'll informed politicians in Albany
who are willing to make heavy wagers that Ho-
ratio Seymour will yet be the next Senator from
New York.
Tho latest gossip about the New Jersey Sena-
torial contest says that the choice lies between
Senator Stockton, ex Governor Randolph, and
Attorney General Gilchrist, with the balance in
favor Of the former.
1t is announced on good authority that Mr.
voorhees, intends, in case he does notreceiye
the Democratic caucus nomination, to go before
the Irdiana Legislature as an Independent can
didate for the Senatorship. He is in favor of
more soft money than any other living man, and
AZ that sort of heresy is more popular in Indiana
than any where else, he is thought to have good
prospects OF SUCCESS.

The Pacific Mail Investigation.

RESUMPTION OF THE INQUIRY AT WASHINGTON
soME RICH REVELATIONS ANTICTPATED-IRwn'
SAID TO BE READY TO " BLOW ON JOHN ROACH.
Especial dispatch to the BALTIC. SUM-
WASHINGTON, January 4.-The subcommittee
engaged during the holidays in taking testimony
in the Pacific Mail investigation having now re.
turned from New York, the investigation will be
continued here by the full committee. Inter-
esting and racy developments are expected, not
withstanding the alleged disappearance Of one
or two of the chief persons the committee were
counting on to have before them. The COM
mittee will, among its first acts, now call Mr..
Irwin to the stand to ascertain whether he is
still afflicted with the nervous proetration which
so suddenly overlook him when they began to
put leading questions. The belief is that even 8
continued refusal to answer on the tpart or Mr..
Irwin, and the fight Of Mr. Schumaker, if he has
really gone to Europe az alleged, cannot prevent
the committee from getting at the main facts.
1t is limited that Mr.. Irwin is now ready to
"blow" about John Roach getting his $2, ,000 600
contract on condition that the subsidy passed
Congress, and that the present board of direct
ors have ratified the action of the former man.
agement, and that he and his friend Stockwell
did lot spend the most Of the $759, 900 in stock
speculations as has been alleged. Enough has
been discovered to indicate, at any rate, that the
committee can, by summoning one or two per-
sons obtain some valuable information. Not q
little uneasiness has been evident in certain
lobby circles during the progress Of this invest-
cation. II Mr.. Dawes will throw off little of
his lukewarmness and go thoroughly to work,
it is believed he and his committee will find all
about the Pacific Mail corruption fund which is
worth knowing. Some OF the members OF the
committee were at the banks to-day engaged in
tracing up the checks which were sent to Wash
ington. The Books OF Jay Cooke 4 Co. being in
the hands of the receiver in Philadelphia, he has
been notified to produce them here before the
committee.
