INTERESTING STATISTICS.
Financial Condition of Towns,
Counties and Cities.

CHICAGO, June 23-The forthcoming
Princeton Rerjcw will publish some i'm
portant and interesting figures COM
piled bv Robert p. Porter, journalist, OF
this city, regarding the financial condi-
ton ofthe towns, counties and cities
of the United States. In former arti-
Gle he gave the financial condi-
ton of one hundred and thirty of the
principal cities down to 1873, and the
present investigation is brought down
to the close of 1878, and includes the
counties, cities and towns OF the entire
country. The municipal list Of one hun
drcd and thirty cities is found to
be in the year 1876, SGi4, SIS, ,663; in
1866, SOL, ,3l2, ,OO9; assessed value Of
property of the same in 1876, 81, No.
0S2, ,l5S; in 1866, s., ,45l ,6l9,3Sl; annual
taxation of same in 1876, Sll2,7ll,225
in 1866, S6i0G0,9l4; population OF same
in 1876, S,576,249; in 1866 5,9l9,9l4.
The per centage of increase is, debt,
200 per cent; taxation, So per cent;
valuation 70 per cent, and population
ton only 33 per cent. The munich
pal debt alone of l30 cities, repre-
senting population OF only
5.766,2 ,24q, exceeded in 1876, by over
SOS, 900, 900, and the county, town and
city Indebtedness OF these cities had ex-
ceeded by over S3l6,0O0,0O0 the bonded
and floating Indebtedness of all towns
and cities in the United States, which,
in 1870, accOrdingto the census, amount
ed to S5l5,Sl00OO. From eleven States
complete returns have been obtained.
These States are New York, Massachu-
sets, Illinois, OHIO, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Kansas, Connecticut, Georgia
and Rhode Island. In these the total
aggregate local debt in 1873 was
S546, ,2S5, ,52S, and in 1870 it was S2S6,-
l79OGO. The assessed valuation OF
property in these States was 7,l72, l4S,-
l79 in 1870 and S9,333, ,5l5 in 1873.
Although bad enough the second in
vestigatiOn shows a better condition
of affairs than they did at first and the
chief danger lies in the cities
and not in the counties and towns.
The increase in the cities was at the rate
OF 200 per cent and by adding in the
county and town debts the increase Is
less than 100 per cent. The returns
from the rest OF the States are incOm-
plete, but are as complete and correct
as possible TO 10 be obtained until after
the census Of 1880 is taken. The total
local debt Of the country at the close OF
the year 1873 was 81 ,05l, l06,ll2 ex-
clusiye OF State debts.

Consccration of a Bishop.

PITTSBURGH, June 23.-The consecra-
ton of Rev. Henry Chauncey Riley as
Bishop Of Mexico, which takes place at
Trinity Church tomorrow, may be re-
garded as a notable event in the his
tory of the Episcopal Churchin America,
inasmuch as 1t Will be the extension OF
this denomination in a hitherto almost
wholly Catholic country in the interests
Of the natives who, born Catholics,
have been converted TO Professionalism.
The services. which begin at 10 o'clock,
will be of a very impressive character.
The Right Rev. DR.. Cox, Bishop OF
Western New York, will preach the ser
mon, and Rt. Rev. Alfred Lee, ID. D.,
Bishop ofDeIaware, will preside. Four
teen bishops and other well known dig
nitaries Of the church will be present.
It's understood that Rev. DR.. Riley ex-
pressed his wish to have the consecra-
tlon take place in Pittsburgh, in recog-
milton OF the fact that he had received
more contribution to his workin Mexico
from this than anv other diocese.
