Fresh American Beef In England.

For the crep year ending Novem ber l =
1875 there were shipped from New York
to Great Britain, of pork, 46,947 barrels;
of packed beef, 60, 1888 barrels and tierces,
more than one-half Of which went to
Liverpool. During the same year the
total foreign exports Of pork from New
York amounted in pounds to $500, 100
against 81 ,662 800 pounds of beef. While
most of the beef is shipped from this
eentre-tho total exports. from all other
United States ports footing up only f.
374, ,237-a very considerable amount Of
ports; namely, "a, ,642, ,44S pounds. 1t will
thus be seen that by far the largest share
of the export OF American provision is
transacted here in Now York. Meantime
new branch of the foreign provision
trade has quietly sprung into existence
and taken firm root in this city. We
mean the expectation of fresh beef,
which has already produced the most
satisfactory results to those who first
started the movement by way Of expert
ment, and have now regularly EN- bar k cd
in the business with abundant capital
and first class connection both here aud
abroad. So far four English steamers
have been fitted with what may be cal
led refrigerator ice-housey where the
beef is preserved in uniform low tenn
perature during the passage. The meat
arrives in the English market as sweet,
as fresh, and, as is claimed, even more
tender than when it was put on board in
this harbor. Those who read English
papers will find that fresh American
beef sells WE'LL World.

WHO ARE THEY?-The Babesek
trial is nearing its end ,and the verdict
is awaited with great interest. The
evidence is SO confusing that the re-
suit either way would not excite sur
prise. Should General Babcock be
acquitted, the people would be pleased
to know that the power Of the Whis-
key Ring has net been traced to poiat
so very near the head of the Govern
ment as that occupied by the Presi-
dents private secretary. Should he be
found guilty there will be no great as
tonishment among the knowing enes.
So many queer things have happened
In and about the White House, and in
the ranks Of the Presidents intimate
friends, that Babcock's conviction
would give no new shock to the sensi-
bilities Of the nation. Whatever be-
comes of Babcock, it cannot be doub-
ted that the crooked-whiskey men had
their powerful aiders and servitors at
Washington. A hint of this we gather
from the Presidents deposition in
favor of his secretary. He is speaking
of the circumstances attending the re-
vocation of his famous order changing
| about the supervisors. Had tho order
been executed, as we now well know,
the whiskey swindles would have been
| discovered much earlier. the Govern
ment been saved from large losses, and
the conviction of the offenders been
made easier. But the moment the or
der appeared, tremendous pressure
began to be put upon the President to
revoke it. The President refers to
"most strenuous efforts" made by
"prsminent public men," The names
of these men were net elected, and we
only learn that the President cannot
remember him (Babcock) ever speak
ing to me about it," Whe are these
prominent public men" that so exer-
ted themselves to prevent the change
which would have precipitated crisis
in the Whiskey Ring? We shall pro,
badly never know. They were really
prominent" and able, no doubt, to
to make the President sincerely be-
licve that the revocation of the order
would be for the best. In this state
ment of the Executive we catch q
glimpse of the exceeding unrevealed
strength of the Wbiskey Ring. 1t may
appear from the verdict of the st. Loui,
jury that they had no active agent in
the halls of the White House; but
nothing can make us believe that they
had no prominent" men in their pay
at Washington, the disclosure of
whose names, if they could be obtain
ed, would startle the ceuHtry as much
as anything possibly could in an era
OF corruption.-Jo Jour nal Of Commsrss.

in abundance. The "procesh" was
formed at the school 'ouse at one D.

was just capital. Then came the ban

with evergreens, and the little girls in
white with red sashes, and the boys
with red caps and spears-and and
we can't think of half. All the pari-
phernalia of grim-visaged war was dis
played to excellent advantage-but it
was only peaceful May party. O.,
yes General Morris bestrode his

pony pranced was "tremengus. :"

"true iuwardness" was we'll nigh friz.
Then they marched all over town and
showed their pretty selves, bringing up
to the school 'ouse in good season, and
all as happy as spring lambs, and SO
tired. Well, it was just a beautiful
display and Miss Grace is entitled TO a
world of credit for her effort to make
the little ones happy. The procession
was certainly original, and presented a
most beautiful spectacle.

We are selling cheaper, giving our GUS
