it is feared by the farmers that another

the nature Of the country there seems no
reason why swarms of locusts should moi

fact that the locust ravages rs far west rs

OF the Yellowstone National Park. to tn,
Hon. Secretary OF the Interior.
After many suggestions us to the neces

"A pressing necessity. is the const,uc.

The building of this, and other roads

very expensive. No long. but several

would have to be built: also some lonu
causeways across miry places. especially in
the upper Fire Hole valley. In buldin,

THE passage of the Danube by the Russians
seems to have created about as much excite
ment in London as in Constantinople. The
ease with which the crossing was accom-
plished appears to have been wholly unex-
pected and the anti-Russian papers are cast
ing about for explanations of it. Discussion
Of British interests has been revived with re-
doubled zeal, and those journals which pro-
fess to believe that all of Russia's assurances
to the British government are simply to in.
duce England to postpone interference till il
IS too late, consider the Cars proclamation a
revolutionary manifesto, indicating deter
mination to annex Bulgaria, and call excit.
edly for preparations to protect the honor
and interests of the country. The anti-Turk.
ish newspapers are very guarded and con6ne
their attention chiefly to the discussion o.
Russia's probable attitude.

r. H. HAYDEN, editor of the insurance
journal, writes to the Hartford Courant that
the report Of thespecial commission which has
examined the condition. OF the Charter Oak
Life Insurance Company is justly open to
criticism both for what it says and what it
omts. Admitting the valuation of the COM
mission to be correct, Mr.. Hayden believes
there is nothing in the report which should
cause any uneasiness to any policy.holder
as to the safety of his insurance. In his
opinion the Charter Oak is abundantly able
to meet all its obligations, its policies are
perfectly good for their face and will continue
to be, and the most effect their report can pos
sibly have will be to frighten the holders o
policies in the Charter Oak into discontinu
ing payment of their premiums. Mr.. Hay
den believes that the managers are doing
their best to retrieve their errors, and he
therefore counsels his fellow policy-holders to
keep cool.
The Portland daily press., 1877-07-03
Central Railroad of Iowa,

The bOndholders OF the Iowa Central are to
be congratulated that their property is really
advertised for sale pursuant to the decree OF
October, 1877, the enforcement of which
has since been delayed under various pretexts
invented for the purpose of exhaustlng in
litigation the hopes which helpless bond
holders were entertaining of acquiring
possession of their property and regaining a
partial return from the investmeD
This decree was entered on the principle
that the authorized act of a representative is
binding on the real parties, when they tn en-
selves are not present to object. When an
appeal was first brought Judge Dillon denied
it on this ground, adding that he need not
consider when there would be justification
for an appeal at the instance of three bond
holders when there were holders of several
millions to be consulted who were acquiesc-
ing in the decree.
Between December when an appeal was re-
fused from the decree on the ground that it
was entered by consent, and January, when
an appeal was actually allowed, i. seems to
have been determined that new receiver
whom we do not stop to describe, should be
appointed. Shortly before the January term
a commissioner was sent to examine the
management of the road on complaint OF Mr..
Gilman, who had been President of the road
at the time when the Farmers Loan Trust
$4,000 to the mile of finished road. So brief
was the time given for this examination that
the Commissioner was obliged to sit through
out Sunday into Monday preparatory TO re-
porting to the court, as he did on Tuesday,
that the Receiver was faithfully manag ing
the road. Notice was privately given the
Receiver that he would be removed if he did
not resign; he refused to resign, and Judge
Dillon removed him, remarking that in max
ing the change the courts conclusion to do
so did not rest on any doubt as to his capaci-
ty and that the change was not made by
reason of complaints against him.
After the Supreme Court had determined
there was no legal obstacle to executing the
decree application was made for its enforce
ment, when, .disregardng that. opinion as
well as the terms of the decree itself specify
ing execution forthwith, Judge Dillon held
that the right to execution resided, land solely,
in the discretion of the trustee, and that the
trustee should consult the interest of all the
bondholders. Refusing to execute, the
trustee claimed it was obstructed by Judge
Dillon. There would be less reason for COM
ment if this opinion had been delivered
before Judge Dillon opposed the trustees
considering this same minority, implying that
the decree properly excluded the minority
from further power to defeat the majority
especially as the decree had been entered by
consent.
We understand the counsel of the Trust
Company objects to our publication Of
fact from his letter stating the offer Of Hon.
Hiram Price, Judge Dillon's father-in-law,
to purchase the road at 80 cents on the
dollar, and complains that it will injare his
relations with Judge Dillon. We hope it
will; we shall know better when we learn
the amount of fees Judge Dillon allows.

THE people of Georgia are deriving a
good deal of consolation from the..repudia-
ton vote of Minnesota. For example the
Savannah News says: "We thought
ignorance only cast its dark shadow over
the benighted region Of the South, and that
the dishonor of reputation was confined to
the people of Georgia and other states who
refuse to recognise the bogus bonds fraudu-
lently issued in their name by carpet bag
knaves and plunderers."

of Rustchuk shows that it was pretty bat
affair. A somewhat comical feature of it,
however, is the frown of pious indignation
with which the Turks disapprove of the bar
barity of the Russians in firing on the town
Having forgotten all about the 10000 wretch
ed people butchered in cold blood thirteer
months ago on the south side of the Balkans
the Turks are holding up their hands in hor
ror at the bare idea that anybody could
have the wickedness to fire on mosques and
hospitals.
