for the five months ending 3Oth November,

compared with S1.O69, ,937 for the corresponding
period in 1874. The falling off in part, no
donbt may be attributed to the completion of
the railway, which stopped the free goods re-
quired in its construction. The exports for the
last five months were $623, ,189 as compared
with S557 902 for the last five months of 1874.
In December, last year, the exports were very
large, while this season they will show a large
decrease.
The value of goods entered for consumption
in the Dominion, exclusive of BrtishC Columbia,
during the month ending Oct. 31st last, was
S9,033, ,97S; of this amount Abs, 1856 were free
goods, $4,775,633 were dutiable goods, on
which duties to the amount of 81 ,O63, 1895. 80
were paid. The value of goods exported from
Canada during the same period was SO, ,12l, ,275;

Gov. TILDEN's lawyer, who has charge of
the canal suits, has had the case of Mr.. Davis
transferred from the head of the calendar,
where it would secure an early trial, to the
foot, where it will not be brought to trial for
a long time, if ever. The canal commission
found that one Mr.. Denison was guilty of
cheating the state out of tens of thousands.
Yet bis Attorney General has not entered an
action against him to recover the money or
bring him to punishment. Mr.. Tilden has
made quite parade of his virtues as a re-

A MARKED difference of opinion seems to
be developing itself in Congress, between the
Northern and Southern Democrats. The
Northerners favor naction, the Southerners
an aggressive policy. The Southern Demo-

in the party councils which they held before
the war, and already have determining
voice in shaping party policy and legislation.

The full text of the indictment found by
the ST. Louis:grand jury against Gen. Bah
cock, stripped of legal verbiage, charges that
Babcock and Joyce, on the first day of JAN
uary, 1874, conspired and combined, together
with others known as the st. Louis whiskey
ring, to defraud the United States of the tax
on one million gallons of distilled spirits
that afterwards. on the 18th day of July.
1874, from each of five distiieries owned by
the parties with whom Babcock is alleged to
have confederated, 10000 gallons of proof
spirit were removed without the payment of
tax. The Indictment is formidable docu-
ment in length, but the above is the sum and
substance of the charges in brief. After
having proved the existence of the conspir-
acy, the government will probably attempt
to show the connec ton of Babcock there

which has yet been made by any African ex-
plorer, has been accomplished by Lieutenant
Cameron, who has crossed the continent be-

to demonstrate that the so-caled river Lual-
aba is the Congo.
