Chicago Inter-Ocean: Eastern capital.
lists are getting unduly alarmed at the
shrinkage of values in the west. Particu.
larly is the alarm gratuitous when it has
reference to farm mortgages. The New
York Daily Bulletin puts the matter cor
rectly when it states that loans Upon farms
rest upon a totally different basis from loans
on city lots or speculative property. Farms
proper have shrunk but little comparative.
", and represent solid productive property.
The fact that so many western farms are
mortgaged is not a pleasant one to contem-
plate, because it shows that the farmers are
not so rich as they ought to be, but the
mortgage need ask no sympathy from the
public or go to pltying himself, for it will
probably turn out that he is the best Sc
cured man in the country.

is a complete revision of the national tax
list. A slight reduction is made upon all
articles except liquor and cigars. A Wash

full text of the tariff bill.says:
There are no compound duties, rates being
either specific or ad valorem. There is no
free list. Every article that is not dutiable
is admitted free without specification or
enumeration. The present number of arti-
cles in the tariff Law is reduced to about 500
all told in this bill. All changes have been
made from nd valorom to specific duties
wherever practicable. 1t is claimed that
this bill will reduce the cost of collection
from S ,25O,O00 to less than $S,000,0 600. The
bill proposes to raise $154, GAG, 600. estimated
by treasury experts, upon the average Of

Our readers will doubtless remember the
party of returning freighters that were at
tackled last summer, in which young Meyers.
OF the robbers, and wounded another in the
foot. Sheriff John Manning obtained a clue
to this last member of the gang about three
months ago, but at that time was unable to
effect his capture. About three weeks since
this man, who gave his name as George
Healy, appeared in this city. when Sheriff
Manning got a warrant with the intention of
making the arrest, but before he could per-
feet his plans Healy got wind Of his object,
and skipped" Last Thursday morning
he again appeared in town, and the sheriff
espyiny him through the window of the
bank, Immediately obtained a warrant, but
did not succeed in getting sight OF hi, man
again until evening, when they met in
Reade's dance hall. AS soon as Healey law
the sheriff, lie left the hall, went up the
street to a barber shop which he entered, and
taking off a false mustache, came out and
went into Morton's club rooms and sat down
on one of the tables. The sheriff followed
into the %soloon, stepped up to the bar and
purchased a cigar, at the same time closely
scrutiniz;ng the face of his man; satisfied at
length that he was not mistaken. he arrested
the outlaw and took him to Jail. Amember
of the Meyers party yesterday went to the
Jail to identify Healey, which he did as soon
as he entered the cell, saying, that is the
man that held a cocked rifle to my breas,
while the other portion Of the party tried to
rob the outfit, an was prevented by young
Meyer" The sheriff, 10 make the matter
sure, pulled off the prisoners boot and found
the Enabled wound, but Healey claims the
wound was made by a mule stepping upon
his foot over a year ago. Upon his person
was found an old fashioned burglar safe key.
He is about 10 years Of age five feet nine

looking and we'll dressed. The trial comes

preach in a fine church 10 IL very refined au-
dience.
There was an ominous smile, as he said he
would remember.
Service began. and hymn and prayer we're
not much out of the common save with
more power in them, and the committee of
pulpit supply began to breathe freely, and to
use their fans and handkerchiefs.
1t was time TO preach, and old Newell got
up. He looked all around, and up at the
gallery, crowded with the quadroon and
mulatto nurses and servants of the quality,
and then he began.
II am told l must be careful what ! say to-
day, for this is a fine church and a refined
city, and l am to preach to Il very refined
audience. I have been looking around for
the refinement, and l see it. You refine a
thing when you take it in its coarse state,
like black molasses or yellow sugar, and
load of niggers to this city of Charleston,
and every face is so black it would cast a
shadow on a chimney back, and the hair is
kinky as a theological students ideas, and
the lips are good shelves to lay bacon on,
and flat feet and long heels, and all that.
You keep them in Charleston 100 years, and
to save my soul I can't tell, half the time,
the niger from the white man, nor the
%quadroon nurse from the child's mother, not
the yellow girl from the white, only she
amt go bilious. Yes, l own up to YOU.
You are a powerfully refining people, and !
give you glory for doing it all, for the Lord
amt no hand in it. It's your refinement,
for God Almighty nerer made a muiatto nor a
mule"

slammed a congregation as he ever had in the
tiatwoods of Ebert. But he was not asked
