WASHINGTON, April 80. In the Cabinet
meeting yesterday Sec. Sherman spoke
OF the condition Of the national finances
and the gratifying advance in the value OF
four per cent bonds at home and abroad.
Few had shared in his belief that these
bonds would command premium before
the end Of spring, and the sequel shows
the correctness Of his judgment. tits the
Secretary's opinion that they will 90 still
higher, as no more can be issued during
the present administration except such as
are given in exchange for four per cent
certificates, which amount Is limited.
The Secretary spoke OF the rush for
these certificates, and his attempts 10 re.
serve them for tho people aud prevent all
from falling into the hands OF banks and
bankers for speculative purposes. The
Cabinet concurred with him in the be.
lief that tho task OF keeping them out OF
the hands Of banks would be impossible,
and the conclusion was to let them 90, 10
sums not larger than one hundred dollars,
to whomsoever called for them.
The sales Yesterday aggregated nearly one
million dollars, by lar the largest DAVIS
sales yet reported. At the rate they are
going the last OF May will find the supply
exhausted, and there will be no further
chance to get four per cent bonds at par.
Members Of the Cabinet do not consider
the rush for these bonds and certificates
an indication that the long heraIded
spring prosperity Is myth, but that the
surplus capital in the country is 90 enor.
nous that It seeks any safe channel OF in.
yestment that presents itself

THEY are making big effort to get the
Pennsylvania State Fair at Little Wash
ton this fall. A meeting was held theoth.
erday to take steps to secure it. The Re
porter makes the following estimate OF Its
possible value to the place:
The Washington County Fair last fall
had nearly 1000 people in attendance, as
was shown by the gate money. II the
State Fair should bring 10 Washington an
average OF l9, 900 people, they would spend
on an average Une dollar day, or In the
aggregate $4,000, which would be dis.
tributed among hotels, boarding houses,
restaurants, livery stables, stores and
shops. If$72,0O0 are left in this commu.
nifty in one week the butcher, the baker and
the candIestick maker will all get share.
1t is for the reason that every person in
the community is benefited, that every.
body should endeavor to secure the loca-
ton in Washington.

Correspondence Of the In.sll,sencer.
For the last ten days extensive fires have
been visiting the Allegheny and New
Creek mountains, extendingin some places
to the New Creek Valley. The destruc.
ton to fencing and, timber cannot be
estimated, but in the territory from Clays-
vile to Greenland, distance Of twelve
miles, it has been very great. Just now
tan bark peeling Is on hind, also the
farmers are in push with their prepare.
tons for corn planting, but many OF them
are compelled to rebuild and repair a
large amount OF fencing around their
wheat fields, or suffer further damage
from stock. The fire reached some parts
Of the Alleghany's last face, which had
not been burned for several years. A
strong gale Of wind prevailed, sending
the blaze above the tree tops, and when
passing through the large level thickets
the noise was equal to an approaching
storm. The fire being on the Allegheny
and New Creek face at the same time,
gave the fire much advantage, as all land
owners seemed to be in jeopardy at the
same time, consequently large force
could not be collected and their work
concentrated. Many very narrow escapes
OF persons from being burned to death are
reported.
Many Of our farmers wives and -daugh.
tiers are being spoken OF in much praise
for their bravery and efficient acts in
carrying drinking water and provisions
to the fire fighters, and possibly some OF
our elder ladies did more than their phyki-
cal strength can endure. OF course, some
criticisms Of policies adopted to thwart
the devouring flames are adrift, but these
mistakes are expected under such circum.
stances.
1t is claimed, and probably justly too,
that evil designing parties assisted in the
work Of destruction by applying the torch.
II such parties were apprehended 1t is al
together likely that a vigilance committee
would dispense justice. In addition to the
losses we have named Is the destroying Of
the whortleberry crop, which is no small
item, as estimates heretofore made place
the value OF the berries gathered each year
at two thousand dollars. A stable was
burned at Carvil's Mill on Thursday night,
but not from the fire in the woods. 1t Is
understood that the prospects for an aver
age crop OF wheat are very good. 1t Is also
believed that the fruit prospects are good,
although the season Is two weeks later
than last year. But very little oats have
been sown yet

Steubenville Gazette.
Wehave note from our old friend, James
E. Wharton, OF Portsmouth, Ohio, in no.
gard to the discussion among our jefferson
county neighbors on the subject OF turn
pixies and their cost. He says: II pre-
sumo your neighbors Of Jefferson county,
Ohio, are much exercised on turnpikes.
l have recently examined our Commits.
Sioner's books and find that although
our pixies we're built through country
where they were as easily constructed as
they can be in Jefferson, yet they were
costly affairs. We have 1872 miles OF them
and they cost s., $40 per mile, and, in ad-
ditiOn, they cost so 08 per mile per an.
mum to keep them in repair. Narrow
gauge roads would be as cheap II run free.
They may do It cheaper up In jefferson
than here, but no county will try it twice."
-InteLligencer.
Probably the Scioto county pixies we're
built about the time the costly Belmont
roads were made, since it is beyond doubt
that the proposed Jefferson county roads
will not cost above 5000 per mile. Mr..
Wharton may well say that mo county
will try It twice." since q second trial Is
NOT neeQeu Wnen good roads are once
established; their building does away
with the necessity Of sinking thousands Of
dollars in mud holes every year. 1t is
worthy OF remark that from no source
have We heard that pixies were not great
improvementin any community, the only
objections having arisen from the real or
supposed expense to the taxpayer caused
by building them OF the pixies referred
TO by Mr.: Wharton we have frequently
heard, and always in words OF strongest
praise as to their excellence and the gord
they have done the city OF Portsmouth
and Sctoto county. Although they nav
have cost a large sum OF money, vet we're
the residents OF Scioto suddenly bereft OF
them they would be almost certain to be
rebuilt, for It Is only people who have had
pike experience who know the real value
OF such improvement. This fact was
evinced In the letter received BY our Pike
Committee from the Auditor Of Hardin
county previous to the late election, and
much proof OF the same kind Is available
II It Is only sought after.

The ISrELILGgHCER insists that lotteries
are immoral, and that when the State for
bids them, "the morality OF the law in
this case seems to rise above the morality
OF the religion involved" Webster, in
defining the word morality, says 1t Is 1.-THE
conformity Of an act TO the divine law, or
IN the principles OF morals" We chal'
lenge the IETELLI0EHcER to point out the
law OF God, or the principle Of morals vi.
olated by lotteries.
When 1t does that we shall not strain at
the gnat OF lotteries, but swallow the cam.
el OF the INrRLLIoESCER.
The persistence with which the Mirror
returns to the charge on this question
would seem to argue a consciousness Of
great invulnerabllity in its position, a
circumstance that seems queer enough
to those who entertain the commonly re.
ceived opinion in regard to lotteries. What
is this commonly received opinion? Let
the following item in Tuesday mornings
st. Louis news answer the question:
1.-THE City Jail had an extraordinary nc.
cession to its inmates to-day, in the shape
OF tifty.one lottery men who we're fined in
the Court Of Criminal Correction this
morning, in accordance with their plea OF
last summer Of being guilty OF selling lot
terry tickets. Their case has been for a
long time pending, but 1t is believed that
to-dAy's action ends the lottery business
in this city, and entorces the seclusiOn OF
its manipulation for some little time"
Now how comes it, II there is nothing
immoral in Understanding NAHUM in q,
as the Mirror puts it-that the business is
thus hunted down and outlawed in nearly
every State in the Union? We have
quoted the West Virginia law, and shown
that it Is very stringent. but it is not more
so, we presume, than the laws Of the
States generally. Whvare lotteries so'uni-
versally prescribed? Surely our law max
ers must all be Puritans. They must all
be Pharisees who add to mems burthens
that which is unnecessary. This Is the
conclusion to be drawn from the Mirrors
defense Of lotteries. gi
We do not feel called upon TO argue at
length question upon which the
best opinion Of the world is practic-
ally unanimous. The laws suppressing
lotteries as nuisances (they are so
declared in New York and Pennsylvania
have not been passed foolishly and arbi-
trariIy, but as the result OF tho well at.
tested experience of society. Some years
ago lotteries were suppressed in France,
and in January of the next year the addi-
tional deposits in the Savings banks
amounted to so, 900 francs. They have ever
been found to demoralize society by al.
verting attention from patient industry;
by tempting men to use money not their
own in the hope Of acquiring sudden.
wealth; by stimulating feverish and un-
healthy passion for gambling, and by be.
getting spendthriit habits in tn use who for
the time have been successful in their
ventures.
