NO CHANGE TO TAKE PLACE At PRESENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--It can now be stated posi-
lively that there is no present probaoil-
ty that Attorney General Downs will re-

it of advantage to the Government that no change
shall occur at present; and while General DeVenS
has had offered to him the position of the First Cir
cult Judgeship he will defer his own wishes IN IT,
gard thereto and remain in his present Office

The New York Public has recently published a
careful comparison of tue prices OF Il aiding staples
and the amount consumed, which it complies an

Must Anderson go to Prison?

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Some members of the
Cabinet entertain the hope that Gov. Nichols will
pardon Gen Anderson This belief is not shared
by most of the democrats in Washington.
The friends of Gen Anderson are carefully in
vestgstng the possibility Of reaching his case
through action by the Supreme Couit of the
United States. Those who have conducted Ger
Anderson's defence in New Orleans have at every
stage Of the proceedings, called attention TO and
reserved all points that could make tse case one
for the United States courts. Thut far no method
of Interference by the Federal courts has been dis
covered which will take the case out Of the State
coults before 1t has been carried up to the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana and has been appealed
from that to the Supreme Court tf the United
states. The fret st,p IL thi. inquiry has brought
out the TACT that under the laws Of Louisiana
there can be no int, rerence by courts after sen

In iai linus II appears that II VIII be impos sible
to release Gen. Anderson except through pardon
granted By Gov. NicnOlis until the case has been
carried up TO the sup eme Court of the state. If
then an appeal Is taken TO the supreme Court OF

Louisiana holds that q sentenced man must still

The Ohio democrats show signs of un-
easness over the title of the national par
ty. They say, with great truth, that ev-
erythiDg that is asked for in the Toledo
put in control Of the government. Give
US the power, say they, and we will give
everybody precisely what he wants. The
democrats in Maine don't feel bit un-
easy about the greenbackers. They have
gobbled up the whole concern, what there
is OF it, in this State, and propose to utilize
it as a net to catch republican votes for
democratic candidates.

loud complaint comes from Toledo
that the recent national convention was
captured by Cary. Mullett u Co, and run
in the interest of unlimited greenbacks
rather than of the laboring men. The
labor party claims that it has not sufficient
recognition of its wrongs and its demands
in the platform. This is a startling init
nation that the platform is not so bad as
1t might have been. Nobody even
dreamed that it could have been made
worse - Tribune.

A recent statement by the Chief OF
the Bureau Of Statistics, presents some
surprising facts as to the actual owner
ship of our mercantile marine. As was
to have been expected the State OF New
York stands first in the list. being credited
with more than one-thrd OF all the shipping
owned in the Atlantic or Gulf States, or
l,073 900 out of 3,0SS, 900 1t would nat
uraly be expected that Massachusetts,,
with her immense Boston interests, or
Pennsylvania, which includes the second
commercial city on the continent, should
come next in order. On the contrary
however. we find the State of Maine
standing second ON the list, being credit
ed with 632 900 tons, against 43S, 600 for
Massachusetts and sos, 900 for Pennsylva-
mia. all of the latter amount being owned
within the customs districts of Phiadel-
phia. Maryland is fifth on the list, own
ing 1877 900 tons, and New Jersey is sixth,
owning 112.000 tons, in addition to the
large amount OF tonnage owned in Jersey
city which is credited to the city OF New
York. The total shipping OF the Pacific
coast amounts TO but $4,000 tons, OF
which San Francisco owns 139 900, which
is less by II 900 than that owned in the
city of Bath in this State. Wa!doboro',
Maine, owns l2l 900 tons. which is more
than is owned in Baltimore, and Belfast is
credited with $4,000 tons, or more than
the joint tonnage of all the Southern sea-
board states, excluding Louisiana.
The portion OF the report which gives the
detail of lake and river navigation places
the shipping owned on our Northern lakes
at 760, 900 tons. and that OF our Western
rivers at 422 900 tons; in all LISP 900 |
tons.
