rebate and drawback operates Snow
said man might engage five millions
bushels of wheat in Chicago, and on
this receive rebate of three cents per
bushel in transportation. This was
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. This rebate enabled the purchas-
er to pay one cent more per bushel
than the ordinary purchaser, and TAX
ing the wheatto another market, and
sell 1t at one cent cheaper per bushel
than anybody else. Having one cent
remaining on each bushel he would thus
realize fifty thousand dollars without
perhaps having spent dollar. Such
things might go on for a few years,
when all other great staples Of the
country might be controlled in trans
portation by railroads and their spe-
cial friends.

As to Regulating Inter State Commerce.
Washington, Jan. 24.-The senate
subcommittee on commerce, consist
ing of Spencer, Mcmillan and Dennis,
heard arguments on the house bill reg
ulating inter state commerce and pro-
hibitirg unjust discrimination by COM
mon carriers. Large numbers of gen.
tlemen from various parts of the coun-
try interested in the measure were
present. Mr.. d. Woods said he az
peared here to represent some of the
merchants of New York interested in
transportation. As he understood the
bill, it didn't undertake to regulate
charges, except in 80 far that they may
be uniform. He had memorial nu-
merously signed by merchants, shippers
and ship owners, saying that the pas
sage of the bill would destroy the arbi-
trary rates of transportation now ex-
acted, and confer great benefits on the
country. He read letters from Cali

The Government seems deter
mined to put down the germs of
treason and disloyalty at all hazards.
Young men who now enter West
Point Academy are required to take
some very strong pledges as a pre-
caution against future infdelity.
The temptations incident to the life
of an active statesman and boliti-
clan are, nowadays, very great,
and hence the new programme of
college naturalization lisa most pru-
DENTAL one. These pledges conf
prise five distinct articles or clauses,
and according to an Eastern journal,
the following are among the prin-
Opal points in the case: One re-
quires a denial that the candidate
has ever been engaged in rebellion
against the United States, or has
given aid or comfort TO any one else
in rebellion. Another clause denies
the right of State to secede from
the Union, and allegiance to the
General Government is promised in
case of such rupture. The fifth clause
is as follows: "In the event that
the State in which you claim citizen
ship shall at any time attempt to
withdraw from the Union, will you
regard it your duty to adhere to the
United States and obey the orders
of the President as your Commander
in-Chief, or would you consider it
right to withdraw from the army
aud go with your State?"

GOLD shipments continue to come
in from France and England and it
is comforting to know that these vast
sums are mainly to be paid out for
American breadstuffs. Egypt used
to be called the granary of the world.
Let anybody compare, on map of
the world, the valley of the Nile
with any of our larger grain-growing
States, and he will be enabled to
judge of the claims of our country
to the title offered centuries ago, to
Egypt.
