Figures and Facts.

From an examination of tabulated
statistics just received from the Chief
Of Bureau statistics at Washington,
We extract the following information:
Tho total value of the imports and
exports of the United States for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1877, was,
in round numbers, sl,176,000,000,
which has been a gradual increase
excepting the two years '73 '74)
since 1880, when the imports and ex.
ports were only s43,500,00O. Tho
contemplation Of this constant aug
mentation of wealth is very satiSfact-
DRY but there is set off to it which
is not quite so pleasing, viz The
percentage Of American bottoms used
in exporting and importing the
amount of merchandise, food, grain,
&C., that goes to make such vast
wealth, has diminished from S9,5 per
cent in 1880, to 900 per cent in 1877.
Or in other words the carrying trade
TO and from the United States, has
been so absorbed by foreign vessels
that that they now control almost
threo.fourths Of II. What an ugly
and scathing commentary are these
figures upon the National legislation
that has thus swept American com.
morce from the seas Of the world.

Tic Recognition OF Mexico.

The Government of President Por-
firio Diaz, we are glad to see, has at
length been recognized by President
Hayes, through Minister Foster
We could not see from the first any
reason for Withholding this recogni-
ton. Gen. Diaz had become de facto
President of Mexico more than Il
year ago, and in our intercourse with
the country we had been compelled
to acknowledge him at its head
This quasi recognition, while the
cause Of much irritation to the Mex
icon people, was wholly unsatislacto-
ry to US. 1t prevented the establish
ment of better commercial relations
with the Republic, and excited
resentful feeling on the part of Mex.
leo very injurious to our future aspi-
rations in that direction. The troub-
les on the Rio Grande, too, for which
we are us much to blame, ifnot more
than Mexico, could not be settled on
any amicable basis while we stood
aloof from the only government the
country had or expected to have. 1t
was SO entirely at variance, too, with
the settled policy of this country,
which has always been to recognize
the government the moment it
seemed sufficiently firmly established
to present a reasonable probability of
being able to maintain itself The
Government of Diaz had long ago
reached this status. 1t is a good
thing this question has at last been
settled, and with the reception ofthe
Mexican Minister at Washington,
we trust new era MAY begin and
new line of policy be adopted in our
relations with our sister republic,
which shall prove beneficial to both
countries, and draw them closer to.

Condition Of the State Treasury

In response to a request Auditor
Miller furnishes us with a statement
showing the amount of the credit Of
the public funds on the LIST of 0cto-
Der, January and April, respectively,
which shows the amount TO the cred.
it of the General State fund, or fund
out of which current charges for APP.
preparations made by the Legislature
are paid, was October l, sS,0T5,06;
January /, sS3,654,37.
This is a very satisfactory exhibit,
and shows that the Trca2nrY, by be-
ing exempt from payments on ac'
count of a Legislative session, has
acquired sufficient funds to meet the
regular demands upon it for tho cur
rent year. If, however, the oxtraor.
binary session had been called, quite
a different showing would have been
made. The charges for per diem and
mileage, and other expenses of tho
session, together with the appropria.
tions sure to have been made, would
have consumed all the available
funds and made it necessary to Dor
row by this time.-Adrcrtiscr.

Organization.

The time for holding the Demo
ratic.Conservatiye County conyen-
ton for nominating county officers,
two members of the House of Dele
gates, and for appointing delegates
to the Senatorial and Congressional
Conventions, is drawing nigh, and
yet there is little or nothing being
done to perfect our organization in
the several districts. This is q duty
resting upon our Executive Com
mittee, and we hope they will lose
no time in perfecting arrangements
for a thorough organization Of the
party prior to the sitting of the Con-
yention; and with good men nomin-
atcd on the 4th of June next, We
need have no fears of the result in
October. We believe the prospect
for the success of our ticket this fall
is better than it has been for years.
With good ticket, a judicious and
positive platform, and a united De,
mocracy, we can't be beaten, no mat
ter what combinations and fusions
the Republicans may succeed in max.
ing, whether open or secret. 1t is
now evident that there will be three
tickets in the field in this county, as
follows; The Working.Mon, the Re-
publican and the Democratic-C onser.
vatiye. Already the Working-Men
have put forward their ticket for
county officers. The Republicans
meet in May to nominate their tick
ct, and the Democrats meet in June,
for the same purpose.
We advise Democrats to steer clear
of all new organizations, for they
have nothing to gain by running of
after "false gods" but everything to
loose. All the evils complained Of
by the working-men, the democracy
will remedy. If Democrats go with
thcselside parties, they only add to
the chances of Republican success
All know what that has been in the
past, and if again returned to power
you may expect to pass through
times doubly more terrible than any
you have yet seen or felt. To the
Republican party alone must be
charged the perilous times through
which the laboring classes and all
others arc passing. The remedy is
only in driving the Republican par,
ty from power, and keeping it out,
and then relief will come.
