SINCE the beginning Of the extra Scs-
sion Of congress in October, there have
been introduced in the senate more
than three hundred bills for old claims
Of almost every conceivable nature ana
have but the ono object, that Of secnr-
ing grab from the public treasury.
These private bills for the payment OF
individual claims and personal accounts
aggregate nearly four millions Of dol
lars. Besides this amount there nre
two Texas bills which design to spring
leak in the treasury to the extent 81
$G,700,oO0 This last amount covers
five millions Of reserve fund kept
back when Texas was admitted into the
Union, and which it is now proposed To
pay up, and ~ 100000 to reimburse the
State Of Texas for the expense incurred
in rcpclling Indian attacks. This grab
taken MS whole foots mp over 0,5O0,-
600 Aside from this there are several
other bills such "a that introduced by
Paddock to provide for making good
the losses sustained by reason Of Indian
dcprcdations that for the settlement
Of the account Of certain railroad com
panics. Besides these there are in all
probability twice ns many more which
hive Ind their origin in the house, with
an unlimited number yet to be intro
d,Iccd during the wintcr.

TELEGRAMS from ConstantmOpe show
that the assembling of parliament IN
England is reviving the spirits Of the
Turks, who ngaln believe that England
will soon extend the long looked for as
sistancc. lii this respect the assembling
Of parliament will have n bud effect
upon the Turks who are already making
efforts to continue the war. The Rus
slams do not look upon the attitude
of England in any different light
from that taken by the Turks. a
telegram from st. Petersburg says
the effect of the call is looked
upon MS almost equivalent 70 y dcclara-
ton Of war. Russian sentiment wei
comes the English challenge, because it
il thought Russia is more powerful now
than England and thatwar viii give al
opportunity to oblitcrato the disgrace
of the Crimca In the field Russian
military officers rather rejoice ut the
prospect Of getting into war with Eng
land The officers are bitterly offended
Nv the arrogance and unlricndly COM
mcnt of England dumg tho present
contest They believe England can
secure no allies, and that, with their
armies Of seasoned veterans, they arc
more than match for any force Eng
land can put in the field, They also
believe Tint the action Of England re-
moves the last moral obstacle from the
seizure Of Constantnoplc, and tho par
tition Of the Turkish power III Europe.
The Russian generals assert that Eng
land is no match for Russia ON land rs
She cannot raise thCmen, Someot the
shrcwder Russian linanelCrs and states
men Mt home take different view Of
tile power Of England. The whole
world is experiencing great depression
and millions of laborcrs can not secure
the labor necessary u buy bread. Eng
land has more wealth than MI tile con
tincnt Of Europe. She has the gold
and that will insure her armies which
will exceed those that Russia has yet
put in the field against Turkey, Rus
sian statesmen who have no doubt
about tho ability ol Russia to exhaust
the power of Turkey, can see Il very
different antagonist in England

FARMERS AND MERcHANTs.-The
dull times Of last few years have
discouraged many farmers, and
induced them TO seek other EN-.
ployment. Farming, as a rule,
is a slow way of making money,
but it is much more certain than
mercantile business. OF l,l2O
bankrupts in Massachusetts last
year only fourteen were farmers
and in New York, of 1850 bank.
rupts, but forty six were farmers,
though farmers constitute fully
hall the population. According
to tho report of the New Ilamp-
shire Board of Agriculture there
are in that State over 1000 de.
serted farms 20 completely wore
out and impoverished that no one
can be found 10 work them fol
the crop. The immediate gains
IN mercantile pursuits seem large
in comparison with those of farm
ing, hut when we consider the
risk all who buy and sell mus
continually take, it would seen
the dictate of wise forethought tC
stick TO the farm - Nebraska

When sent alive they are packed
in boxes and barrels, without food,

Between the months OF Septem-

Those put up in cans are boiled and
then hermetically seoled, the same

common way of packing them is
to tie them by the feet around the

keeps the birds separated, and
leaves a space in the center fol

ducks is generally placed in g

The same judge now thinks 1t quite
proper to sustain Il combination OF
villains, acting under cover OF these
same forms OF law. in wrestling from II
people their dearest and most essential
rights by forgery and perjury. The
question involved In that case was the
mere stealing OF u railroad. The issue
now resting In the hands OF these judges

maintain their hold upon the respect OF
the people or shall become an object OF
contempt and adherence to the con-
sciences OF oil honest men. In view oil
the high moral tone OF the opinion rem

some OF the same judges In the Florida
contest, We are forced to exclaim, "Oh

THE HOARD or TRADE.

We publish In another column IN In
tefestine communication relative TO the
proposed bill for the creation Of n Board
Of Trade with very large powers Tor tho
regulation OF the standard, and for tho
weighing. gauging and Inspection OF
certain articles Of commerce in this
city, particularly flour. grain and pro-
visions.
In our Sunday issue We presented. In
n concise form, some OF the arguments
used IN favor OF tho bill by merchants
who favored it. and some OF the objeo-
tions urged against 1t. The eommuni-
cation printed this morning seems TO
proceed upon the theory that The less
government NEEDLES with tho business
concerns Of the citizen tho better 1t 10
for oil concerned. There IL great force
in this view. but. on the other hand, the
experience Of tho other largo CONNER
eial cities Of the country seems to have
shown that associations like the pro-
posed Board Of Trade arc very useful,
II not Indispensable. In tho develop
mspt of business and / 20 attraction OF
custom, by substituting method for
looseness In tho classification OF arti.
Giles and providing facilities OF various
kinds. the want OF which operates as u
serious impediment TO trade.
SO far rs we have been able TO learn
tho merchants Of this city, as n class.
have not rs yet taken as lively IN inter
eat in this matter as Its Importance
| would seem to demand. They are the
ones whose views and interests should
BIO considered by the Legislature up to,
but not beyond. the point where their
demands would transcend The Legitimate
purposes OF such an organization. or
infringe upon tho rights OF others. We
are free to say that while, as % general
proposition. VIC favor the incorporation
of tho Board OF Trade SO far rs 1t will
tend to facilitate and devolope business.
the bill now before the Legislature is
altogether too broad and sweeping In
its terms. and demands such amend
rnents M u careful study OF It's legiti"
mate objects will readily suggest.
