THE "TINEs'' OPINION.
The "Times" deprecates too much impor-
lance being attached to the early summon
ing of Parliament and points out numerous
instances in which cabinet actions have been
misinterpreted even by their own support
ers, as for instance Ire sending Of the Ie.l
To Bi-cay Bay
OF ANY PREVIOUS
cabinet had summoned parliament thus
early, natural inference would have been
drawn that they were about to demand a
grant Of money TO support Of some steps
taken by the Queen, ON advice of her minis
ters The Times" thinks such a conclu-
sion in this case would he far in advance Of
the truth. Parliament will not meet to

Guilty Of Granddaughter.

CINCINNATI, December ls.-The jury in
the Creighton murder case, after delibera
ton of twenty-six hours, returned a verdict
of manslaushter at II o'clock to-day. Ii is
considered a compromise verdict Particu-
lars of the murder are substantially these !:
On the second of last January, Henry
Creighton was found dead in his house by
his neighbors, aroused his wife, who con-
fessed to having killed him in self defense,
there being no witness but Eddie Garland,
her twelye-year-old son, by former hus-
band. His wife WIS believed, according To
her testimony, To have married his proper
ty more than the man. She lived in con-
tinuous warf re. On the morning of his
death, she says he had chased her about
the house, shooting at her, and finally. with
a broadaxe, she decided To defend herself,
when she killed him with an iron
mortar and nail puller \ motion for a
new trial bs her counsel is now being enter
tanned by Judge Wright

replied this mornin. he had ordered all
available troops to the scene Of the diff
Guilty. 1t is thought that troops from Fort
Stanton, have already reached FL Paso,
and will probably be able to relieve the
militia surrounded by the mob. Troops
from Fort Bayard, will no doubt reach San
Elizaric tomorrow, and with those from
Fort Stanton will be sufficient to keep peace.
The affair is purely local and no serious
complications are anticipated.

Vi this vast amount OF annual products
the Eastern and Middle States are entitled
to nearly three-fifths of the manufactures,
while the other states and territories should
be credited with still larger proportion OF
the products of the mine and the farm.
THE MORAL OF THESE FIGURES
is that the nation has wealth enough 10 in
sure the par value Of twice the present
amount of circulation. and that such in
crease is absolutely needed TO restore pros
perity to the lansuishing industries OF the
country. Amongst the resources of the
United States are the immense silver mines
of the southwest, a portion Of whose pro-
ducts turned into coin and made Il legal
tender for all debts, would place the debtor
class on level with the creditor, and with
out any injustice to the latter, allow the
former a chance TO recover from the evils
inflicted by the ruinous policy OF the last few
years.
NEEDS OF THE WEST AND SOUTH.
The South and the West proper, embra-
cling the territory fIom the eastern boundary
Of Ohio and Maryland, to the western coast
OF California, and from the fortieih paral-
lei down to mouth of the Rio Grande, COM
prises about two-thirds OF the territory Of
the United States, and constitute the grand
est empire Of industry in the world. Their
capacity for production is almost limi less
and embraces, not only every variety OF
farm popducts with cotton, sugar and rice
added, but such stores Of mineral wealth
as have hitherto been unknown to the civ
ilized world. Extending as they do, over
SO vast an area, nearly two million square
miles, they suffer great and constant loss on
account of inadequate facilities for placing
| their products in market. The grain pro-
ducing districts West of the Mississippi
suffer more in this respect than any other
portion of the country. The Mississippi
river in the present INSTRUCTED condition OF
its channel. is entirely inadequate to the
demands of internal commerce. An earnest
movement is now on foot to secure the i'm
provement OF this great natural channel OF
trade, but even with the great river and its
principal tributaries made navigable, they
cannot do a tenth part of the work of trans
portation needed now or in the near future
for the west and southwest. These districts
have already constructed about ten thou
sand miles OF railway but must add largely
to this investment b, fore their people in
each market without sacrificing their pro-
ducts.
Give to the. West and South easy access
to the ocean, and thence to all the markets
of the world, and their prosperity will be-
come perpetual as the stars, and Astounding
as the waves of the sea-" j. l.. L.

SIZE OF THE NATIONAL HOMESTEAD
Leaving out Alaska, fE oniv for hears,
seals and savages, the thirty-eight states
and ten territories Of the United States Gov
er an area OF 100000 square miles, or l.
926, 10000 acres. No similar area IN the
world has 50 much fertile soil, such excel
lent climate characteristics, or Is capable
Of such varied and valuable productions.
The ten eastern and middle states cover an
area Of III ,1SS square miles, or a little more
than one-twentieth OF the whole territory,
and about two-thirds of the area occupied
by the single state Of Texas Tn il recent
ly, the ten eastern and middle states pro-
ponderated over all the other states and terri
tories, both in population and wealth But
westward the course Of empire takes its
way" and this condition OF things is now
reversed. The West and the Southwest to-
gether now hold the larger share, not only
OF population, but OF political power and
actual wealth.
AGGREGATE WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY
Taking the value given IN the real and
personal estate of the country, by the CEN
sus of 1870, and allowing for the same pro-
gress as was made during the war decade,
from 1860 to 1870, the property OF the peo-
pie oil the United States at this timex
Guiding Government property-amounts to
the enormous and incomprehensible sum Of
ffty-four thousand millions OF dollars.
ANNUAL PRODUCTS.
In estimating the amount Of products of
the country, have consulted the carefully
prepared statistics of the Agricultural De-
partment, and when these were wanting,
have depended upon other equally reliable
resources OF information. These estimates
are for the year 1876. According to these
the natural and art products oil the country
for 1876 were as follows:

The CHARLTON Courier thinks that

Our friends over in Jackson are

II is claimed that the counterfeiters
who operated so successfully through
out the Southwest some thirty years
ago, procured all their metal from a
mine in Jackson county, The ore it
is said, was very rich. Parties have
been trying to lease land in the vi
cinity, but so far the farmers have
refused to give any leases, and the
prospecting parties, who are Harri-
son county men, as persistently re-
fused to give any information or
make further search, and the farmers
are trying to discover the mines
themselves.

The truth is that both Hayes and
Packard were beaten in this State
fairly and legally by majority aver
aging 5000 votes. The difference be-
tween the two is that the American
people, including, Messrs. Tilden and
Hendricks, were willing to acquiesco
in the fraud, and so acquiesced in the
Inauguration of Mr., Hayes, while the
people of Louisiana were resolved not
to submit to the fraud, even if they
had to resort to revolution to defeat
it, and hence it was found impossi-
BILE to inaugurate Packard without
the aid oftho army and navy. This
is the sole and only difference be,
tween Hayes and Packard. Let
Hayes say what he may, Packard
was as fairly elected Governor Of Lou
isiana as he was elected President;
and let Packard say what he may,
Hayes was elected President as fairly
as he was elected Governor. Both
are frauds, the difference being that
one got away with the swindle, and
the othcr failed to do so.-Nc0 Orleans
