STARTLING FIGUREs.-At q meeting OF
the American Social Science Association
held in Boston recently, q paper upon
municipal Indebtedness was read by Ro-
bert P. Porter, OF Chicago. 1t says that
the total increase of debt ofone hundred
and thirty cities in ten years isupwards
of S420, 600, or an annual increase OF
$42, 900, 1t continues:
With these facts staring Us in the
face, it is not an exaggerated statement
10 say that the United States haye to-
day debt of 81, ,0O0, ,000, 900, half the sum
of the national debt; and an annual ex-
penditure of 500, 900 within $4O,-
100000 Of the national expenses. The
liabilities are increasing AZ the rate OF
100000 yearly, involving an addi-
tionsl charge Of $500, 900 upon the tax
payers. Allowing for the great shrink
ing in values and continued depression
in business, we find that the property OF
taxpayers has already been actually
mertgaged for Is per cent of its value,
and as this debt has increased at the
rate OF 81, ,0O0, 900 yearly, the mortgages
will continue 10 increase at the rate OF
one per cent annually, and in another
GCN4AC VAL aLA0ALN W per
cent of the assessed valuation ofthe pro-
perty. The total State indebtedness oil
the United States 10 tS69, ,l70,976, while
the municipal Indebtedness Of one hun
dred and thirty cities is upward ofS275,-
000, 900 more than the entire State debt.
The vast bulk Of municipal debts is To-
Gated in the Eastern States, and Of State
debts in the Southern States. OF NUM-
cipal debts, New York, Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maine
carry probably about $4l7, 600, 900, leay-
ing by far the lightest proportion to the
great Western States. State debts are
distributed about as follows: Western
States, $3.50 per capita; Eastern States,
IS per capita, and Southern States $22
per capita. 1t is folly to propose a reme>
dy less radical than either absolute dis
franchisement Of the non-taxpaying
population, or the election of a second
body Of men by the taxpayers of q city
to represent the property interest and
curtail reckless disbursements Of public
funds"

THE GREAT FAMINE IN CHINA

London, Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1873.
In an editorial article The Times says
1t is stated on authority, which cannot
be questioned, that 100000 Of human
beings are now starving in the famine
stricken provinces ofNorth China. The
Imagination fails TO cope with 30 gigan-
tic calamity. We cannot doubt that if
the Chinese have found their way to
America from the comparatively pros
porous eastern provinces in thousands
that they will pour forth in myriads
from the fanine-stricken districts OF the
North as soon as the way is opened To
them. The Chinese difficulty NAV
speedily become greater menace to the
future of the United States than the ne
gro difficulty was at its worst; for the
negro immigration was never volunta-
ry and ceased with the oboIition of the
slave trade, while, if the Chinese tide
once begins to flow in force, it is difficult
to see where and when it will stop"

would make difference of Sl7 2jO1I In favor of

said, that the County Commissioners have been
accustomed to borrow large sums of money on the
credit of the county, aggregatlng about $4,000 in
short space Of time, for which their individual
notes were given, drawing eight percent interest,
when seven per cent, bonds were eagerly sought
for and, in fact, commanded premium here and
elsewhere.
On May 8, 1876, 1t is charged the Commissioners

So, ,lG7 30, The money paid to lift this note, 1t is
claimed, belonged partly to Mr., House and the
balance TO the General Fund Of the CRY of War

when an order was drawn on the County Treas
ury in payment, amounting to s. 1926 as the rec

Of course, recommend that he covers this amount
back into the Treasury but whether ilagrant
malfeasance in office like this will be allowed to
pass unnOtiCed remains to be seen.
Already the investigation into the doings Of Re-
publican officials is creating anuneasiness intheir
ranks that threatens an overthrow of the party
supremacy in this county, and 1t is thought great
efforts Will be made to throw the entire blame
upon George b, Kennedy, as the most convenient
scape-goat to answer for the crimes committed.
The revelations are causing no little comment
here to day among all classes Of citizens. Treas
urer House has always sustained the highest rep
utation. The charge that he has been using the
county funds for his own personal benefit can not
be disregarded,
