UNLESS some specific charges are alleged
against Mr.. Kilbourn, upon which to base
the demand that has been made for the
production of his books and papers. he
cannot IN reason be compelled to yield to
that demand. 1t follows as natural con-
sequence that his present imprisonment is
not sustained by any reasonable pretext,
and that he naturally will have recourse
against some one or somebody for false i'm
pr:sonment.

Yesterday the Public Ledger, Of Philadel-

prietor, entered upon the forty-frst year of its
existence, and came to us enlarged from
thirty-two to thirty-six columns, and in other
respects specially improved. The Public
Ledger has attained eminent character, and is
regarded as a most useful and valuable SER

phia, but to the country at large. The purity

TIE Democrats having given up all
hcpe Of making President, it is to be
hoped that the gag will lie taken out of the
mouths Of Messrs. Hill and Tucker, and
that those gentlemen will edify the coun-
try, not only with Constitutional disserta-
tions, but by the delivery of the eulogy
upon JEFF. Davis which Mr.. Hill has so
long had in store for propitious occasion.

The United States Fleet.

The United States home feet, iron clads and all, is centering at Port Royal. This movement, a Washington letter says, is in pursuance of general plan of the secretary of the navy to make that place the headquarters of the North Atlantic station, as it presents many advantages over any other port on the Atlantic coast. The writer adds:
 The climate is very healthful, and the harbor offers every facility for the exercise of naval tactics, so that the service can be kept in thorough disci- pline. On one occasion only during the late war was the yellow fever there, and then for only very brief period, while at Key West, the former headquarters of the station, it was often epidemic and caused the vessels at that place nearly every summer to be ordered to Ports mouth, N. H., or some other Northern port where supplies, repairs, etc., could be furnished without delay. The geo. graphical position of Port Royal makes it the central point for the North Atlantic station, and vessels rendezvoused there can reach Cuban waters and the gull, Wu6T0 our 1uG0T0SGS most n06d GO be looked after, within forty-eight hours. It is the policy of the secretary of the navy to make our home squadron larger than any of those abroad, because he pbelieves in being prepared for any emergency which may arise out of the present difficulties on the island of Cuba. While there is no official announcement in regard to the condition of affairs be- tween this country and Spain, it is be- ieved in well informed circles that the uncertain tenure which Spain has upon that island may cause that government to become involved in difficulty with the United States when it sees it can no longer hold the island and then parts with it as 8 matter of necessity. An, other reason why vessels will be ordered to Port Royal from Northern rivers and harbors where they have been laid up is to free them from the ice during the approaching winter. In case of any difficulties arising it would not do tc have these vessels frozen up at League island or some other Northern port where they could be of no service
 hence the secretary deems it advisable to have them at Port Royal, where there is no danger of an ice blockade, and in case of an emergency they could be used with effect

Happy New Year!

While the bells were ioyously ringing in the new year, and while the merri- ment was highest in many 8 happy home, says St. Louis paper, weary, sin laden soul, but filled with great joy at it's happy release, was winging it's flight into eternity. The scene was in one of the houses in St. Louis, where all that is most beautiful and holy in woman is trampled under foot. In the lonely room were gathered mother and a sister of the dying girl, and minister of the gospel who labors in the highways and byways, and if their eyes were dinned with tears, their hearts still felt throb of joy in the joyful thought that the dy- ing sinner was prepared for death. Why doesn't God take mel" said Jenny Ross, the unfortunate 1; and God did take her, in obedience to her prayer. Jenny Ross has seen nothing but sorrow from the time her father and brothers were slain in the war. Through dreary years she drudged al her uncle's for the pittance of her board. She felt deeper misery still when she wandered into the city, and fell, never to rise again. A sweet disposition, kind and peace -lov- ing mind, made her beloved by all her companions.

American Parlor Organs Abroad.

In :he year closing June 30, 1875, the
 United States exported to foreign coun- tries, as shown by custom house re- turns at Washington, parlor or reed or gans to the aggregate value of 1868, 132. The exports for the previous year were s292, 151, showing some increase. It is remarkable that more than half of these exports in each year were the cabinet organs made by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company, whose exports in 1875 were $1S5, ,820, and in 1874 were $163, 169. Considering that there are in this country from two hundred to two hun dred and fifty makers, this fact that more than half the instruments exported are from this one company, shows in what high estimation it's work is held
 abroad.-N. Y Commercial Advertiser.

The FirSt Cart.

An interesting incident in the life of the late Dr. Howe is told in the Boston Herald:: After the war he taught the Greeks in the arts of peace, and the first cart ever made in modern Greece was built under his direction. Twenty years afterward, when he rode alone into Greece on horseback, he was seen and recognized by peasant woman, who spread the intelligence of his arrival. He was immediately surrounded and borne upon the shoulders of the people into the neighboring city, upon the site where he had founded a village. At this time the Greeks were in the enjoyment of fresh triumph over their ancient op- pressors, and in the right mood to vel come their former ally and friend. This incident in the life of Dr. Howe was de rived from Greek newspaper of the tino

After the Sea Lions.

Just outside of the Golden Gate, and at the termination of the famous drive from the city of San Francisco, is a group of rocks in full view of the shore cliffs, on which the seals, or sea lions, or sea wolves, disport themselves. These playful and noisy creatures are, for some reason not yet revealed by local oracles, protected by State statute, which posi- lively forbids their being killed. Un. der this security the animals have null
 tiplied and increased. Their gambols in the surf and their groupings on the rocks are watched admiringly by the residents, and the sight forms one oi the show places to which the Eastern tourist is directed. Now it is claimed that the sea lions eat up all the salmon, and statute is to be passed allowing the seals and sea lions to be killed off.

The mines in the States and Territor- ies west of the Missouri river, including British Columbia and the west coast of Mexico, show yield of $80, ,889, ,O37 dur ing the present year, being an excess of nearly $6, 500, 900 over that of last year. Nevada, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, British Columbia, Montana, and Arizona increased. California, Idaho, Utah and Washington decreased. The decrease in California was due to want of water. The increase in Colorado and Nevada was very notable. The latter yields more than one-half of the whole.

 The most marked effects of the pressure of the times are to be found in the frequency with which failures have been reported. Both because there have been more casualties to report, and because the newspapers have given more than usual prominence to this class of items, the public have been made more familiar than ever before with these oc- currences. The consequence has been to exaggerate in some degree the number in public estimation, and to create more apprehension than the actual circum- stances justified. We are therefore glad to be able to present to our readers the exact figures from most reliable source the mercantile agency of Messrs. R. G.

 The number of failures in all the United States show large increase as compared with those of previous years, while the proportionate liability is somewhat less than the average. The following are | the figures
