HON. vANH. MANNING.

With each successive speech this dlst1n-
quished member Of congress from Mississippi
adds 10 the reputation he has already made
as one of the most efficient members Of con-
gress. The speech of Mr.. Manning on the
census bill, in which be advocated the ap-
pointment Of the supervisors by the Slate
governments, instead of the Federal govern
ment, is one OF the ablest and most compre-
hensive arguments delivered in the house
during the present session OF congress. 1t IS
a model of cool, constitutional argument, re-
aecting honor upon Mr.. Manning, the State
he so ably represents, and upon the whole
south. In reading Mr.. Manning's speech We
almost forget the tines in which we live, and
the puerile speechs which so often lumber the
congressional poceedIngs. The Washington
Post says: "The speech Of Mr.. Manning, Of
Mississippi, on the census bill, which appears
in the Record of the twenty-second, Is a very
able one; creditable not only to his Democracy,
but to his learning and legal acumen as well.
Mr.. Manuing's position is that it Is clearly
within the province of congress to delegate
to the governors of the different States and
Territories the power to supervise the census
taking and appoint the enumerators. That
it is the most practical and sensible plan
almost everybody will admit. Mr.. Manning
as we have said, deals with the constitutional
question entirely, and, as any candid person
will acknowledge who reads his closely knit
argument, has presented his view of the case
so strongly that it Is doubtful if it can be con-
troverted."

THE wall OF ANOTHER CITY.

Wilmington, Delaware, Is about to initiate
the example Of Memphis. The papers OF
that city are discussing the indebtedness Of
the city and the people are crying aloud for
relief from onerous taxation. A newspaper
published at Wilmington, called Ere,y
EUening, says:
We give elsewhere a brief history of the
growth of our city debt, which we advise all
our readers to cut out anu keep for reference.
Those who intend to make any systematic ct
fort for the improvement of our municipal
government must take some little trouble to
tamiharize themselves with the facts, but we
intend to make the task rs light to them as
possible by careful researches OF our own
Meanwhile, the main facts are patent and
alarming. Twenty years ago this city, which
had been in existence for more than a cen
fury, as a borough and city, owed but lit e
over two hundred thousand dollars, all told
Now 1t owes bonded and floating debt of
about one a half million dollars. Mean
while, the taxes have not lessened, but
steadily increased. If, twenty years ago, in
stead of levylng taxes to carry on the city
government, the council had begun borrow
ing money for that purpose, we should have
some understanding of the causes for the
trighttul increase IN our debt; but the facts
have been that the cash expenditures have
steadily increased, while the debt has been
accommodating. But there Is mo use IL cry
ing over split milk" We have nothing to
show for the greater part Of this enormous
debt, out we have got to meet the interest on
it, and provide In some way for paying the
principal If its increase can be stopped
right now and here, both these things can be
accomplished IN due time, but the time has
come when we must stop the increase or 90
downward consciously toward bankruptcy
The people IN the past have not comprs-
hended how this burden has been increased
but they now have their eyes open, and it
shall be the mission Of ECery Erening to
keep them open. We tell them now. how
ever, as we ever have told them, that moth
ing can be accomplished of a permanent
character for good municipal government till
city affairs are taken out Of politics. and
those who vote at city elections are COM
PEELED to pay their snare of the municipal
taxes. Both OF these things can be done at
this time If men we could name will agree
IN good faith 10 80 10 work for them.
This is just the way the people Of Memphis
talked few years ago, but such gasconade
did not stay the hand Of the remorseless tax
gatherer, and to prevent the confscation Of
real estate, they were forced to repeal the
city charter. Wilmington is a small city,
and the debt with which she is wrestling in
poses an enormous tax. Various subterfuges
will be Tesorted to for the purpose of pro-
crastinating payment and to save the tax
payers from bankruptcy and ruin. But as
the delinquent tax payers will increase, the
burdens upon those who promptly pay Will
be increased, and they Will seek some means
by which to escape inevitable ruin. Without

Gold and Silver Discoveries in Upper
Hnl

MILWAUKEE,, March ii. J. Hagerman,
of this city, who is largely interested in the
iron mires on the Menomee range in the up
per Michigan peninsula, has just returned
from that section, whittier he went to inves-
tigate the truth of the report recently tele-
graphed from Madison, announcing the dis
covery near Menomee Of iron ore, containing
gold and silver in paying quantities. Mr..
Hagerman says that intense excitement pre-
wales at Wancedap, where Emmett & Bren 8
mines are located After an investigation of
several days he found that the average of the
three samples of iron ore from the above
mines, which had been sent to Chicago for
analysis, was about SIX dollars of gold and
sixteen dollars Of silver per ton. These are
the facts as stated by parties interested 1t
will be very difficult matter to separate gold
and SILVER existing in such small quantities
from these iron ores, and the expense would
be enormous. Mr.. Hagerman predicts q
speedy hattening out of the excitement that
at present prevails

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun is authority for the statement
that the President, in conversation on We'd
nesday last, indicated very plainly that in
case an extra session of congress is necessi-
tated by the failure of one or more of the
appropriation bills, he would not call it till
the last possible moment. This determine
ton settles it that there will be no session
during the summer, as all the present appro-
priations run to the thirtieth of June.

FIRE tonight, including its contents, consist

The loss will be between eighty and one hun

The fire was evidently the work of an incen-

Five fires have occurred tonight, and the

concerted effort has been made by thieves to
burn the eastern section Of the city, so as to
allow plundering in the other sections.
