Washington dispatch saws Attor

A Washington dispatch says Attorney
General Pierrpoint is laboring hard to
bring the Washington courts up to level
of responsibility. The corruption of the
local courts in the District OF Columbia
is type of the national corruption and
an exponent of the morals and tactics Of
the present Administration. The Attor.
ney-G General is worthy of commentator
for his stated intention to prosecute
Fisher to the fullest extent OF the law.
Prompt and effectual punishment is the
only offset that can be made to the evil
already done, and may have salutary
influence on the rest of the depraved
horde that trade aud traffic in the nation d
honor.

Great Britain PAYS annuallv 81 OaG

Great Britain pays annually 81, 600.
900 for dried bodies of the insect known
as the cochineal, while another, peculiar
to India-gum shellac, or rather its pro.
ductions-is scarcely less valuable. More
than ]. 800, 900 human beings derive their
sole support from the culture and manu-
facture Of the fibres spun by the silk
worm, OF which the annual circulating
medium is about 2OO.OOO,OOO In Eng
land alone, to say nothing of the other
parts of Europe, $500, 900 are spent
every year for the puchsse Of foreign
honey, while the value Of that which is
native is not mentioned; and this does
not include the 10000 pounds of wax
imported annually. Beside, there are
nutgalls, used in making ink; the can.
tharidss or Spanish fly. used in medi-
cine. In fact, nearly every insect known
contributes. in some way, to swell com.
mercial profits. In connection with
this. It is probable that at some day the
cochinesl insect will form Nevada ex
port. Specimens of the coculus cacti
have been found south of here and il
Arizona, pronounced by scientific mel
to be equal to the Spanish cochineal.
