TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The number of attorneys en-
ployed by the Pacific Mail Company is
something marvellous. Even Col For
ney got $4,000 of that subsidy fund
for his services as attorney"
IT is estimated that during Deem
Der last two hundred newspapers
daily and weekly-suspended publica-
ton in the United States, and that dur
ing the entire year of 1874 no less than
$4,000, 900 were lost in the newspaper
business.
THE House of Representatives at
Washington has passed general law
granting to railroads the right of way
through the public lands of the United
States. The bill provides that the right
of way through the public domain
shall be granted to any road duly or
ganized under State or Territorial law
to the extent of 100 feet on each side
of the road.
THE King Of the Sandwich Islands
has paid his promised visit to Chicago,
and of course all the toadies, big and
little, focked to see him. AS it is the
first time real live king ever set foot
in the Garden City, a little curiosity on
the part of the people to view one of
royal blood is perhaps pardonable.
The Chicago papers state that the
dusky monarch bore himself with be-
coming dignity.
Don CARLOS, the pretender to the
throne of Spain, persists in his rebel
ious movement, Notwithstanding the
restoration of Bourbonism under Al
fonso. The Carlist army continues to
maintain it's warlike attitude. This, a
threatened war with Germany, and the
continued instruction in Cuba, will
give the young King enough of bust
ness to keep his hands full for some
time.
The quarterly statement of the con-
dition of the eighteen Chicago national
banks shows that these institutions
have nearly regained their ante-panic
position. It exhibits an increase of
loans of 81, 040,0 900, and a decrease of
deposits of So, 100000. This last item
shows an increased activity in bust
ness; il proves that people are not
boarding their means in banks, but are
putting it out where it will do the most
good, in their estimation. There has
been slight decrease in circulation
from the previous quarter.
THE late Capt. E. B. Ward, of De-
troit, died leaving property valued at
the sum of $5,250,OOO By his will,
which has lately been admitted to pro.
bate, he leaves the bulk of his property,
III real estate and bonds, to his widow
and children, and DEGREES that the rest
Of his assets shall be devoted to pro-
viding an income for the children and
family of his first wife. He remem-
bered number of old friends, Ben
Wade among them, with a gift of
$4,000 EACH.
In the year ending June 80, 1873, we
exported breadstuffs to the amount of
1913 3l8,599, and in tile year ending
with last June the amount was $780,
985,421 an increase of 1868, ZOO, 600.
Provisions and petroleum were about
the same in both years, while cotton
fell off SIS, 100000 in the last year, and
tobacco increased $8,0OO,OOO. On the
other hand, the imports for the year
ending with June, 1874, were reduced
1868, 100000, thus showing that are we
finally getting the heavy end of our &C.
counts with other climes, on our side.
The great scandal suit of Hilton
against Beecher, now in progress at
Brooklyn, bids fair to be one of the
longest and most celebrated trials of
the age. The first week was consumed
IN choosing a jury. Judge Morris,
Leading counsel for Tilton, devoted
three days to his opening address, and
over week was consumed in the exam
ination of the first witness, Moulton.
AS yet no testimony further than that
contained in the celebrated estate
ments" oflast summer, has been brought
out. 1t is the opinion of counsel that
the trial will be protracted through the
winter, and possibly far into spring
Gen. S. V. BENET, Chief of Ordnance.
