According % this statement the only
short crop this year is tobacco, the
Weld of which is placed mt 3S4O59,6j9
pounds, OF p per cent, less than last
year,
The estimate Of the wheat crop is the
largest vet made, but is doubtless based
on fuller and moro accurate data than
bv other authorities. Ii the depart
ment is right in its present computa-
ton it is difficult to see how wheat can
be forced much, if any, above its pres
ent price, or even kept there during the
winter
Contrary to the widespread reports
at the West that the corn crop is less
than last year, the Washington estimate
puts the yield for 1870 at LOCI, l5l $40
bushels, or over 25O,OOO,0O0 more than
in 1878. The most remarkable increase
in any crop, however, is IN potatoes,
l24OOO.OOO bushels being produced last
year against Isl, &693iO this season. In
view of these estimates, il accurate, the
general price Of provisions can scarcely
bemaintained at their present advance
for three months To come. As for next
years crops, the increased acreage Of
wheat already sown Overland above that
of this year is variousiy stated at from
25 TO 30 per cent. in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, the largest estimates coming
from the last State.

MErr1Na OF CONGRESS.

The Forty-sixth Congress is again IN
session. The attendance at the open
ing, yesterday, was quite full in both
branches, and the usual formalities OF
waiting upon the President, receiving
and reading the message, constituted
about the only features of the session
Yesterday. Senator BURNSIDE alone
seemed to have an eye TO business. His
move for the early consideration OF
bill for the construction OF an
interoceanic canal may have more
political significance than APP
appears on its face. 1t is true that
Blaine and Sherman 10 not appear, as
vet, as patrons OF the bill, but it is safe
to wager that they will never appear as
its opponents. Grant must be fixed, and
that right soon. The session must not
be allowed to pass without some provi-
sion being made for swallowing him up.
II not i'm canal, then in Captain-Gen-
eralship. This scheme will form an in
teresting part OF the proceedings OF the
session.
1t is said that it will he a President
making session. Doubtless, the most OF
the measures brought forward for dis
cussion will be shaped with view OF
aiding or placing the political parties at
disadvantage in the campaign OF 1850.
But they will also be OF grave import
ance to the people. There are issues
pending before Congress that will create
universal interest. The election laws
bid fair to occupy the attention of the
body for the greater part OF the SEES
sion, as upon them depends free
and fair election. 1t is not
improbable also, that some change in
the rules for counting the electoral vote
will be made, and elicit warm discus
sion. Moreover, the entire rules OF the
House have been revised during the
vacation and will come up for discussion.
There is fortunately not much proba-
bility that any radical legislation will be
had upon matters OF finance. There
will be some contest over the coinage OF
silver and the retirement of the
grcenbackS, but there Is 4
general confidence in the belief that no
new measures OF finance are likely to
prevail which will in anywise disturb
the business Of the country.
We believe it will be a long session,
however desirable it may be to cut it
short. When there are questions Of
such a character as those to be consid-
cred, are brought forward, the range Of
debate is almost without limit, and men
will be sure to take advantage OF it.
Business, il business it can be called,
will progress slowly, and nothing less
than the hot summer months will be
sufficient to drive them home, even if
that accomplishes it.

An exchange says that DIR. VI. NJ.
VI. GRIFFITH, OF Bradford, Pa, reports
some astonishing results obtained by
the administration OF crude petroleum
to consumptives. He claimsthat out OF
twenty-five cases OF well marked tuber-
culoss so treated, twenty are to all
means OF diagnosis cured; the rest have
materially benefited, and none have
been under treatment more than four
months. The nausea attending the use
ofordinary crude petroleum led him to
adopt the semi-solid oil that forms on
the casing or tubing OF wells. This
made into three to five grain pills by in
cooperating any inert vegetable powder,
was administered from three to five
times a day in one pill doses. The first
effect, ne says, is the disappearance OF
the cough; night sweats are relieved,
appetite improves and weight is rapidly
gained.

which is now in many ways dependent

into national organization, in which
the leading newspapers all over the
country shall have something approach
ing an equal representation. The agita-
ton in favor of this change has been
started by the journalists in the West,

that they should have larger share
than is at present given to them in ar
ranging for its collection, and in select
ing the points TO be covered and the

OPENING OF THE BIZ 5. w. RAIL
ROAD.

The narrow-gauge railroad from Bel
laire to Woodsfeld was completed last
week, and on Saturday trains ran be-
tween the two termini. The formal
opening Of the road, however, has been
announced to take place to-day, andthis
morning at hali-past seven, an excur-
sion will leave Bellairc for the capital Of
that mysterious country popularity
known as "thc Dark Hills OF Monroe"
This name, however, il it ever applied
properly to Monroe county, does
so no longer. The completion Of
this railroad marks the COM
mencement Of a new era in the history
Of the section which it traverScs, and
the celebration to-day has, therefore,
peculiar significance for large part of
two populOus and fertile counties.
The hospitablc and enterprising citi.
zens of Woodslield have arranged pro-
gramme for the exercises after the ar
rival at that place which is in keeping
with the nature Of the occurrence cele-
brated. and will no doubt be carried ont.

in the quality of currency. On being

currency so as to meet the demands Of
trade and relieve the depression that
has existed up to the present year
Gold would answer the same purpose rs
greenbacks, but gold We did not have.
We have had bOuntiiul crops during
the past year, which have been sent
abroad, and foreign gold has flowed
back in return. That has extended the
currency up to the required limit, and
has brought prosperity and better times
which was what the Greenback party
was striving for"
