PUNISlIING BREACH OF TRUST
The Board of Trade of Baltimore is in
augurating measures to provide for the
punishment of breaches Of trust as larce-
nies. The committee appointed to take
charge Of the subject arc considering
the propriety of sendinga a petition to the
State Legislature, asking an enactment
to that effect. The Gazette complains
that men have hitherto robbed their
best friends and spread wholesale ruin
throurhout the country and then escap-
ed Justice by reason Of the confidence re-
posed in them, and adds: "He who
takes wilfully what is not his own is
simp!ya q fc!on, and the crime is not
lessened because the property has been
entrusted to him for safe keeping.
Should Maryland teach this lesson. it
will ada greatly both to commercial i'll
tcgrity and the public good"

l.. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OER
Nc,O Fra says of the
Abbcviic Jail and its inmates: The jail
j. well filled. We understand that there
are about twenty-five imprisoned, III
most instances on the charge of larceny.
What II heavy expense the County is
subjected to from this quarter! At Il
cost Of twelve dollars per month, which
we are told is the amount charged, the
monthly aggregate is $500. We think
our Grand iurics should urge upon the
LEGISLATURE the necessity to reform the
prison system in such way as to compel
the prisoner to earn his support, and
thus +Ive the County from the double
prnaily of suffering from the commits
Sion of the crime, and then maintaining
the criminal free of cost to him. Hl5
suprort is, in MANY INSTANCES, prime
object in going to Jail, or at least it is a
fuil equivalent for the temporary re-
straint imposed on him. Let him have
a different experience, if We would nave
thr law and its sanctions respected"
We fully endorse what IS sad above,
and would urge that if mprisonment be
thn punishment, it should be imprlson~
mrut at hard labor. 1t is a mere mock
crv to entertain prisoners at the puoic
cXpcnsc, and thus offer premium lor
The commission Of crime. In cases OF
larceny, we believe the whipping posi-
should be resortcd to as the most ciiica-
cjous and cheapest punishment. we
know that such has been the opinion OF
some of our most eminent Judges.
Bring back the whipping post.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.

Gen. Joseph l.. Johnston has return
ed to his home in Savannah. The dd-
ucrtiscr says that he received, about six
years ago, an offer from the khedlVe,
and "of course it was not accepted" "
FTe has received no other offer from the
Khedive, and does not expect or want
one. In other words, he senslbly pro-
poses to spend his days among people
who respect him living, and will honor
his memory when he is gone.
The Nctc York Hc'WId pays The fol-
lowing high compliment to the distin-
ruishcd Confederate leader, called forth
by the mistaken idea that General
Johnston had accepted u foreign mill
tary position.:- ,, -
Johnston, the distinguished Conledcrate
commander, has accepted the position OF
imauder-in-chief of the Egyptian
army; that he will receive a bonus of
one hundred thousand dollars and an
annual salary Of twenty-five thousand
dollars, and that he now accepts the
post after repeatedly refusing it. If this
report be true, the khcdivc has secured
the services of Il most accomplished and
capable soldier, and if victory should
not favor his colors in the wars he has to
apprchcnd, it will not be for the want
of military talent in his commander.
General Johnston is not only the ablcst
living soldier produced on the southern
side i'm our great war, but in the opinion
of persons who have closely studied the
conflict, he is the ablest soldier that ap-
peared on the scene, from first to last,
in support of the southern cause
With the many admirers of Johnston's 5
talents as soldier his character also
stands high, because he fought, as he
understood it, for his country and free
dom. Different views may he taken
now. as he seems to become mere sol
dier of fortune in an Oriental service ;
but against the antique prejudice on this
point it tends to become more and more
recognized that war is an inevitable fact
in the progress of nations from old to
new conditions, and that it is one Of the
more humane economies to have it con-
ductcd on scientific principles. There
will. moreover, be 10 wars there but
such as his friends might envy Genera!
Johnston the chance to assist in; ; for the
Khc1ive will do no fighting OF consc-
uuencc till he is compelled to defend
against Turkey his own declaration OF
independence"

The Patrons Of HI nsblndry.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times,
writing from Louisville, KY, the head
quarters of the National Grange, Patrons
Of Husbandry, furnishes the following IN
terestng facts in reference to the men,
bership, financial standing, and other
matters of interest in connection with
the order:
At present the grange contains tritte
over $4,000 oranges, with membership
estimated at l,5O0,0c0, the estimate Of
81 mem bers to each grange being mod.
crate one, as, though in new territory, or
in places where the grange has been too
much organized some oranges arc numer-
ically weak, but few have been organized
for the past two years with less than the
fnll complement Of charter members
first 30, recently 40 and there are
oranges by scores, notably in Michigan.
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, which
count from 80 to $50 members. Of these
about 100000 are women. The minimum
age is Is, but proposition has recently
been made to establish subordinate de-
gree or order the Cadets Of Husbandry
so as to let in young people, say down
to IL. The latest official statement Of
the strength of the order, as compared
with the showing Of 1864, is appended:
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-12-01

there were heavy arrears owing by the
State oranges, on account of dues. Ac-
cording to thu arkansas Weekly Grange,
when the State Grange received its quota
from Washington, che amount Of its
arrears was deducted. If this. rule has
been followed in all cases, it will not be
surprising to learn thatythe $4,000 has
never left the national treasury. i;
In any case the Patrons are resolved
now to cmasculate the National and State
oranges in the matter Of finance. The
presence Of large surplusesis considered
a source of danger, and it will unques-
tionably be- arranged, to distribute the
funds now on hand and reduce the dues
and fees so as to prevent any similar accu.
mutation in the future.
In this connection it is but just to say
that the accounts of the National grange
are correct. They were audited but a
few days since by the executive commit
tee.

The Treasury Secret Service.

washington Correspondence Cincinnati Com
mercial.l
The Country is being treated to the
regular annual accounts, through the
Western Associated Press, of the capture
fcounterfeiters, with their plates, and
the work by the Secre: Service force of
the Treasury Department. This force is
gone through with every year, just before
the meeting Of Congress-, in order that
such showing may be made as will
induce that body to make ample appro-
priatlons for the maintenance OF the force,
while for all practical purposes it is not
worth picayune. 1t is not believed
that one.fourth the stories told of the
work performed by these fellows have
any foundation. In fact, in many instan-
ces, the arrests are but rut-up jobs Of a
similar nature to that which came to
light in New York last week. where it
was proven that the members of the
Secret Service force had deliberately
persuaded certain persons to pass coun-
terfet coin, and then arrest them for
doing so. The Judge promptly released
the prisoners and severely repriman,lcd
the detective. The Secret Service force
Of the Trea>ury is, under Washburn,
more efficient than before, but in the
last ten years it has been a costly and
useless incu brance to the transaction of
public business.

Detectives are in pursuit of Robert j.

the office Of the United States district
clerk. Jackson left he city suddenly
last week, and it being discovered that bv
forgery, raising notes, and a fraudulent
auction sale, he got off with several hun
dred dollars. The worst feature Of the
case is the impression that important
documents and papers bearing on the
whisky ring and vital to the prosecution
of the indicted parties are also missing.
This is denied by government officers, but
1T is looked upon as altogether unreason-
able that Jackson has thrown up good
position and salary for few petty hum
dreds. when thousands we're within his
reach. The dcfaulter has been traced
through Chicago to Detroit, and informa.
ton was received tonight Of his arrival
at Toronto. The impression of missing
documents is strengthened by the dis
covery of papers in an important case

From this it will be seen that in the
south and the States of Tennessee,
Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio. Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin. and Minnesota the grange is
practically identical with the az.
r;cu'tural population. In the east where
farming is on larger scale, and the agri-
culturists feel less powerfully the need for
combination and cooperation, the order
is not so strong numerically, though it is
possessed Of d powerful influence.
The progress of the order is shown in
the following table:
