In the Illinois senate nineteen bills
are pending for the regulation of gas,
express, telegraph, and other compan-
les, in most of which the power of the
legislature to regulate, suspend and
oversee, as we'll as to fix specific rates of
charges, is asserted in the most decided
terms.
A RICHMOND, Va, dispatch says the
state-debt-paying party in the legisla-
ture was forced to yield, and the bill was
killed. Nothing can therefore be done
toward paying the debt until another
legislature is convened. 1t is thought
the governor will call an extra session.

March 1st says a respectable German

LITTLE ALICE.

Glad, sweet summer, thou art with us,
And thy zephyrs gently sigh
Through the shade-tree whore we're sitting,
And tear-drop dims our eye.
This bright morning we are gathered
Meath this shadG-tree, only four;
A year ago while we were sitting
Here, We numbered just one more.
Since then all the leaves have fallen,
The sands have changed upon the shore;
The pale rider OF the white horse
Has tied white Grape on our door.
Since then from our numbers taken
Our dear Alice, angel fair;
Now all we have is her sweet picture,
And a lock OF golden hair.
And when on these treasured relics
We fix our eyes and thoughts so fast,
We swell with grief; they tell that Alice
Is something only OF the past.
Oh! yes to-day we're sad and lonely,
While gazing DER earths sunlit strand,
We fain would call our da, ling tous
From out bright heavens summer land
While the zephyr's softly signing,
Lisping gently through the tree,
1t seems to be Our Alice asking:
Mamma, Papa, think OF me.

All the Western States are expecting a
good crop this year, but none furnish
more favorable reports of the prospect
than Minnesota. The st. Paul Pioneer
Press predicts that Minnesota will har-
vest this year a crop of fifty million
bushels of wheat and possibly as much as
fifty-fve millions, which would be by far
the biggest crop ever raised by any State.
1t expects that the farmers will get S40,-
100000 at least in exchange for this crop,
and more if the European wheat crop
proves short, as is now expected. This
doesn't look much like hard times.

What Need of Greenbacks ?

The New York Times of the Och has the
following plain statement to show that there
is no need of greenbacks as currency for
the transactions of business:
In previous articles we have shown the
enormous increase in the volume OF money
since 1860, an increase which can be con-
clsely stated thus: In 1860, the paper and
specie aggregated $780, 600, 600; on Nov. l.,
last, the bank paper alone was 1922, 470, 900,
besides S347, $751; 900 OF greenbacks and sun.
dry amounts of fractional currency and
coin. The paper alone was thus 1868, 00O.-
900, against 500,O00,000 of all money In
1860 against this great increase OF l2o per
cent. during the Is years must be set the fact
that population has increased but 50 per
cent. and imports and exports 30 and 80 per
cent, with no increas' in general prices, land
that there has been an enormous develop
men5 in the rapidity OF exchanges, as
well as in the uye Of settlement by bal
ances. We have also sought to show
that. even assuming the large volume
of S60O,OO0,O0O to be desirable, the nat
ural working OF the banking system, as it
stands, might be expected to furnish notes,
as far as needed, were the greenbacks grad.
ually withdrawn. If this position is well
taken. it follows that retention of the latter
cannot be urged on the plea that they are
needed to maintain the adequate volume
OF circulation. Nobody has ventured tC
claim for them any superiority over bank
notes as currency, and ii necessary circula
ton car BE- had without them. we may prop
erly inquire what reasons can be found tt
Justify their retention.

The Revolutionary Programme.
The Washington correspondent OF the

New York Tribune has the following:
The Democrats make no concealment of
their purpose in the extra session. first to
pass their political measures through both
branches of Congress as independent meas
ures, and if they are not signed by the Ex-
ecutive then to attach them to the two APP
preparation bills which will be held back for
the purpose land refuse all supplies of money
for the necessary expenses of the Govern
ment until their political schemes are ac-
complished.
The sentiments expressed by Republicans
of all degrees and all shades OF stalwartcy
or liberalism with regard to these revolution
ary projects, is such that the President will
feel that for once at least he has aunited and
nc st enthusiastic party behind him. There
is no possible ground for doubt that the
President will veto the repeal OF the Elec-
ton laws in whatever shape they may come
to him. No more empl. attic opinions were
expressed on the floor Of the Senate during
the remarkable debate upon this subject on
Sunday night, than are openly expressed by
some of the Pre- ident's Cabinet advisers,
while the President himself, although MAIN
tanning decorous reticehce with regard to
his future official acts, manages to leave no
fear in the minds of those who approach
him that he will fail to do his duty.
The opinion Is quite prevalent that the
extra session will be long one, and from
political point of view, an interesting one.
Whatever it brings forth, it can hardly fail
to be disastrous to the Democracy, for the
very fact which calls the session into exis-
tence bears such close kinship to the dom.
| ineering and revolutionary attitude of the
| party in the days which preceded the rebel
lion that patriots everywhere must recognize
the treason which Turks beneath. The long
er the session, the more solid must the Norti
| become.

THE LABORER.
WILLIAM D. GALLAGHER.

Stand up-erectl Thou hast the form
And likeness of thy God!-who more?
A soul as dauntess mid the storm
OF daily life, heart as warm
And pure as breast e'er wore.
What then?-Thou art as true man
As moves the human mass among;
As much o part of the great plan
That with Creations dawn began
AS any of the throng.
Who is thine enemy? the high
In station, or in wealth the chief?
The great, who coldly pass thee by,
With proud step and averted eye?
Nay! nurse not such belief.
If true unto thysef thou vast,
What were the proud ones scorn to thee
A feather, which thou highest cast
Aside, as idly as the blast
The light leaf from the tree.
No! uncurb'd passions, low desires,
Absence of noble self-respect,
Death. in the breasts consuming fires.
To that high. nature which aspires
Forever, till thus checked;
These'are thine enemies-the worst;
They chain thee to thy lowly lot:
Thy labor and thy life accursed.
o, stand erect! and from them burst
And longer suffer not!
Thou art thyself thine enemy.
The great!-what better they than thou?
As theirs. is not thy will as free?
Has God with equal favors thee
Neglected to endow?
True, wealth thou hast motifs but dust!
Nor place-uncertain as the wind!
But that thou hast which, with thy crust
And water, may despise the lust
OF both-a noble mind.
With this, and passions under ban.
True faith and holy trust in God,
Thou art the peer Of any man.
Look up, then, that thy little span
OF life may be well trod!

The store OF Charles X. Walton, at Yam
ceyville, Louisa county, Va, was burned
Sunday, the proprietor perishing in the
flames. The people attracted to the scene
were deferred from rendering assistance by
the knowledge that powder was kept in the
store. When it exploded one side of the
house was blown out. WaltOn's body was
found minus legs, arms and head, which ha d
been blown off. 1t is believed that Walton
was murdered for the money he had in the
store, and the building then fired. Much ex.
element prevails. Walton was popular
young man, and belonged to one of the most
respected families in. the county.
