Tho Way IT Worleed
The clerks in the Office of the department

The clerks in the Office of the department
of quartermaster- general are, without dis
tinction Of party, up in arms against the
form of assessment adopted there. Col.
Rockwell, the next in Command to Gen.
Meigs, is a personal friend of Mr.. Gar
field. He undertook to bring his
offics to time on the assessment ques-
ton in his own way. Calling
his clerks together There we're about sixty
he addressed them in substantially these
words: "Gentlemen, We have enjoyed the
good things of this life from the federal
government for number Of years, and if we
desire continuation of our good fortune it
will be necessary for us to exert ourselves to

applause; but the colonel continued, With an
unbroken fror he line of his logic: "Why,
it is privilege to subscribe to this cam

PeriIs of a Bath.

An accident of an unfortunate, yet not al
together serious, kind recently occurred at
Bridgnorth, in England. For the last two
years the Bridgnorth Rowing club have had
floating bath on the river, and certain days
are reserved for ladies. On the day in ques-
ton the Severn was greatly swollen by
rain, but nevertheless no danger was ap-
pretended, and thirty ladies were there
bathing, when the bath gave o lurch and
commenced to sink. The occupants were
alarmed. and forsaking their clothing, made
for the adjoining bank, and just as they had
succeeded in getting on shore the bath sank.
A cattle-slide afforded the bathers temporary
refuge. Their clothing were lost beyond
recovery, and the inhabitants of neighbor-
ing houses were at once applied to for gar
ments. Every describable costume was
adopted without q murmur, but at last the
stock of clothes available gave out and some
had to wrap themselves in blankets.

THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE.
AS 1t Casts Its Light on the Chicago
Market.

Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Cables continue to hum
the same old sung of "dull and lower" It
has got SO monotonous that people pay little
attention to the cables. They are much more
interested in Watching the weather reports, es-
pecially from your part of the country. Wheat
opened ct about yesterdays closing prices.
Some Of our local operators made big effort
to break prices under the pressure of the
amount thrown into the market, and prices re-
ceded from 8S% to 8SI for October.
There is very strong undercurrent,
however, and as soon as those selling
parties retired the market in few minutes re-
was made to break prices by Singing in the

The close was $3.50 and very firm.
Corn very lively. The pit for that cereal is a
sight. It is continually filed to the brim and
all little cusses who ordinarily MAKE their liv-

FACTS ABOUT THE CENSUS.

Something About the BOndholders and the
Oyster Trade.
The wealth, debt, and taxation division of
the tenth census has begun an Investigation to
ascertain the ownership of registered bonds of
the United States, which aggregate nearly 81,
175 100000. This work is done by force of
census clerks in room in the treasury depart.
ment. The secretary of the treasuryIhas placed
the latest schedules of the quarterly
dividend of interest at the disposal of the
of the census and the ex.
animation in progress, when completed, will
show where the Indebtedness of the Country ia
owned, how much in each State and Ter
ritory, how much in every city containing
more than 10000 inhabitants, and how much
in foreign countries. 1t will also show sepa.
rately the amount held by banks. insurance
companies, and other large corporations. An
interesting feature of this report will be that it
will contain statement of the number of hold.
ers of given amounts of bonda-$100, 81, 900,
SIC, 900, etc., whatever the amount may be;
also the number of male and female holders,
respectively. In order to preserve the secrecy
of the treasury records, the names of the hold
ers are not known even to the clerks engaged
in the work, but only the number and amount
of each account. It is expected that the re-
port, when published, will correct misappre-
hension quite current, viz, that the bulk of
the debt is in the hands of large bondholders.
TAE OYSTER INTEREST.
An interesting feature of the census returns
is the report of the oyster interest of Chesa-
peake bay, which helps to supply the oyster
markets in every part of the country. This
report is made by Richard b. Edmonds, who
has charge of that particular branch of the
census bureau. He dwells On many ways by
which legislators endeayor to better the exist
ing laws on the subject, and the general ignor-
ant character of the oystermen. He says that
it has generally been a favorite idea
of legislators, both of Maryland and
Virginia, that each State shall derive some
revenue from the natural oyster beds belong
ing to 1t. To this end manylaws have been pass
ed, but no satisfactory re-ults have ever been
accomplished The expense of enforcing laws
over such an extensive body of water as Ches-
apeake Bay is necessarily very great. In 1879,
the entire amount received from licenses TO
tong, scrape and dredge in Maryland was less
than the cost of maintaining the oysrer police
force. Since the oyster police force was frat
established, up to g. ptember so. 1879, the
amount collected from dredging licenses, meas
ures, snd fines, exceeded the expenses of the
force by $235, 1866. 50 In addition to this there
Is a county tax upon longing and scraping,
which averages about $4,000 q year. This
amount is by law paid to the public schools of
the respective counties. The necessity for
maintaining police force is shown by the
Rappabannock trouble last winter. In Vir-
ginia there are some laws for taxing oysters,
but as there are no means of enforcing them
they are worth ess. The total amount of IL
cense money received during 1879 wrs only q
few hundred dollars.

Good Repor,s irom the sulphuret.

The GLOBE has chronicled the departure
of @. E. Snandrew for southern Colorado on
visit of inspection to the Sulphuret mine,
In whish several of our citizens are interest
ed. Mr.. Shandrew's visit was for the pur-
purpose of deciding. by personal OBJ
servation, as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
making certain improvements for the de-
velopment of the mine. Judging from the
tone of the following telegram received yes
terday Mr.. Shandraw is we'll satisfied with
what he saw. He telegraphs: "Sulphuret
improving rapidly. will erect a steam
hosting apparatus immsdiately.''
In confirmation of the favorable impress
sion created upon Mr.. Shandrew is the fol-
lowing extract from letter from gentle
man who recently gave the mine a thorough
inspection:
The mine is looking well and is imp, owing
with every afoot. We have both walls, and
there is no more doubt left as to its being a
true fssure vein.

van The Republican Papers Erplatn?
New York Sun.

The electoral votes of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut will determine the
result of the election. It would be Difficult
to name three States whose people are more
industrious, intelligent, thoughtful and
patriotic than theirs. These States
send forty-four members to the
House of Representatives, and they cast
fifty electoral votos. With acceptable can
didates on both sides, and on fair trial of
strength between the two parties, all three
States went for Mr.. Tilden in the spirited
canvass of 1876, by an aggregate majority
of $4,000. It will be seen that
this is an average majority of
more than 1000 for each
each Congressional district, and only little
less than that for each Presidential elector.
With such q popular Democratic candidate
as Winfield s. Hancock, and such tainted
Republican candidate as James A..
Garfield, is there any good
reason for supposing that the result in
these three States this fall will not
be repetition of that of four years ago?
If any of our esteemed Republican contem-
poraries are disposed to answer this question
In the affirmative, will they explain the
ground on which they base their opinion?

Thomas P. O'Connor will preside at the

Der of the Irish members of the house of
commons have promised to participate in the

fused permission for the erection of plat
form in the park.
The Times says it is much to be regretted
that the house Of lords should have rejected
the bill for the registration of voters
in Ireland. It was waste of their
power; when struggles can be foreseen on
matters of great moment, 1t is imprudent
to provoke Ill feeling over trifes. The bill
provided facilities for registration Of voters
in Ireland which were identical in the main
with those existing in England, and the
house of lords might wisely assented to 1t as
dealing with matter peculiarly within the
province of the lower house.

The steamer Hardwick, from Odessa for

bank bill, the bill in relation to loading
grain cargoes and the hayes and rabbits bill.

Arnold, liberal, will move on going into
committee On the appropriation bill that the
rejection by the house of lords of measure

notice of q motion for tacking the registra-
ton bill to the appropriation bill. The
marquis of Harrington suggested it would be
better to move resolution demonstrating
against the rejection by the house of lords
of the registration bill. To this Parnell as
sented.
The house Of commons tonight rejected
the amendment made by the house of lords
to the employers liability bill, but consented
by vote of ~ to 83 to limit the operation
of the bill to seven years.
