Francisco. Even the Insignificant town of
Waldoborough, Maine, exhibits more ton.
mage than Baltimore, being credited with
III 900. so, too, the shipping owned at
Belfast. in the same state, town of seine
5000 Inhabitants, aggregates $4,000 tons,
or more than the joint merchant navy of
all the southern seaboard states, with the
exception of Louisiana Passing to New
owned in North Amboy exceeding that of
New Orleans. and that of Great and Little
Egg HARDER larger than the united quota of
Georgia and the Carolinas. Indeed, Little
Egg Harder alone, of which it is probable
few natives of Alabama have ever heard,
is shown by the official report to own more
tonnage than their whole Estate, including
the city of Mobile.
That portion of the report which gives
the details of lake and river navigation re-
veals some curious facts. 1t appears that
larger amount of tonnage is owned by
the inland city of st. Louis than by San
Francisco, the official figures being 40, 900.
Among other cities prominent in the river
trade, Pittsburgh is credited with 1877, 900,
an amount nearly equivalent to the foreign
and coast tonnage of Baltimore. Among
the lake cities Buffalo, as might have been
expected, stands first with quota Of 161,-
900 tons; next comes-not Chicago, nor
Milwaukee, nor Detroit, but another New
York port-Oswego, with a tonnage OF
$4,000. Chicago is credited in the official
table with only $4,000, or the precise
amount assigned to Belfast. Maine The
tonnage of Milwaukee is $1,000; that of De
troit, $4,000, both ranking below Cuyahoga
Ohio, which has $4,000. And finally, we
may mention that the shipping owned 10
the district of Huron, Michigan represents
larger amount of tonnage than that as
eribed to New Orleans. We may note,
also the broad fact that the shipping owned
on our Northern lakes now aggregates MOI
less than 100000 tons, while that on ouI
Western rivers is set down at 400, 900,
To measure, at glance, the vast impor
lance of our lake and river navigation, VIZ
may point out that its joint tonnage would
exceed that of al the vessels belonging tt
the Atlantic and Gulf States and engaged
in foreign or coasting trade, should we ex
clude from the latter category the single
state of Maine and the cities of New YorI
and Philadelphia.

The Division of the old Parties.

There is no party division on the silver
bill. The vote on it in the senate, iuclud.
ing those who were absent and paired,
stood: 26 Democrats and &c Republican for
it, and 10 Democrats and IA Republicans
against it. Some of its most active and
earnest supporters, both in the senate and
in the house, were Republicans, who
contributed at least full share of the
arguments in its favor. Nothing, there
fore, could be more absurd than the appeal
of some of the New York journals to Mr..
Hayes to make it a Republican shibboletb
and rally the party on it

ton, Bayard, Hancock, Wallace, and many
others, are men against whom the breath of
suspicion cannot rest. They are men Of
independence of character who would insist
upon being apprised of whatever means were
being employed in their interest, and would
frown upon any measures that savored ever
so slightly of dishonesty. Such man Mr..
Illden is not He has evidently acted upon
the theory that it was better that he should
know as little as possible of the devious
doings of those working in his
interest, 80 that, when the emer-
gency arose. he might deny knowledge Of
them. Whether he would, like Hayes, have
rewarded the scoundres who gave him off e,
we can only infer. But certainly such man
is not safe incumbent of the Presidential
Office
In order to satisfy the public fully, we pre-
sumo an investigation into the matter of the
cipher dispatches will have to be ordered at
the coming session of Congress. We care
not who is injured by whatever developments
may result. An effort must be made to pu-
rify our politics by driving from public place
those who would PROSTATE the ballot to their
own selfish purposes. Be the transgressors
Democrats or Republicans, the people will
demand that thoy be thoroughly exposed and
promptly punished. The Democratic ma
jority in Congress must attempt what the
Republicans have never sought to accom-
plish, and be the result what 1T may, they
will lose nothing in the public esteem in con-
seduAncA.

SOUTH AMERICAN MAIL FACILITIES
Nearly All the States to Agree to the Bern

Nearly 4lI the States to 4gree to the Rerne
Postal Contention.
The secretary of state and postmaster
general have each received long reports from
j. w. Fralick, sent in the autumn of 1877,
to the Central and South American States to
induce them to enter the postal union, and
to report upon the condition and movement
of internal and external commerce of those
countries. The report to the postmaster
general is confined chiefly to postal matters.
That to the secretary of state relates in the
main to the commercial branch of the inves-
LEGATION. SIhe report upon postal affairs is
of great interest to all classes interested di-
rectly or indirectly III improving inter
course with these countries It con-
talns detailed information in regard to de-
lays In mail communication, and the pros
poets which exist in each case for an i'm
provement of the service. Nearly oil the
principal States of South America either
have given, or soon will give notice of their
agreement to the Berne postal treaty. All
these States were found DESTROYS of increas-
ing commercial and postal facilities with the
Unl4ed States, and some were growing FESTIVE
under the foreign monopolies which now
exist.
The report to Secretary Evarts gives valu-
able information hitherto difficult to obtain,
of the methods of conducting internal COM
MERGE and the means by which the mer.
chants of other nations gained SO strong a
hold of the Southern American commerce.
The two reports will be sent to Congress at
an early day,

Alexandria douglas County, Newsl
Tuesday afternoon party of half dozen
men were out in the Crooked lake woods
near Alexandria, hunting deer. Two of the
men, Ole Sward and Peter Oleson, were sta
toned on a runway quite close together, but
not in sight of each other. Sward heard the
dogs coming in chase of deer, and pretty
soon heard the deer making toward Oleson's
stand. He. Immediately started and ran
toward Oleson, and when pretty close the
latter fred at the deer, which Just
then came out in sight of
him. Oleson's gun was loaded with
three buckshot and bullet on top. When
Oleson fred he killed the deer, but one of
the buckshot unfortunately struck Sward in
the right side, and passed through him. He
was wounded at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and was carried home and medical aid sum-
moned, but he died about o'clock. DR..
Denniston, who was called to see the wound
ed man, arrived only to find him dead.
Sward made dying statement, in which he
eyonerated Gleson, and, in fact, the circum-

shot. Deceased leaves wife and six chill
dren at home and one married daughter.
