A despatch from Columbus, Ohio
says:
For several days 1t has been appsr
rent that great opposition existed 70 The
prososed consolidation Of the American
Union, Western Union and Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Companies. |,
Is now evident that leading member
OF the General Assembly have been con.
suited in reference to the advisability
OF passing a law which will prohibit
the proposed consolidation. Public
sentiment Is 80 adverse TO the proposed
combination that it is now stated
that when the Legislature convenes on
Tuesday next, joint resolution will
be offered calling for facts, as well ss
an opinion from the Attorney General
as to the power of the Legislature In
the premises. Prominent attorneys
are Of the opinion that the proposed
consolidation OF the interests Of the com.
psnies within the State can be preven.
ted by an act Of the Legislature, and
cite as precedent an act passed seven
years ago which prevented the consoli-
dation Of the Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway
and the ATLANTIC and Great Western
Road. two lines running parallel from
Cincinnati TO Cleveland. 1t is believ-
ed that;an act similar to that which pre-
vented the welding Of these two roads
into one would also be sufficient to pre-
vent the consolidation of three tsle-
graph companies. The subject is at
tracing considerable attention.

Moody aud InKersOIi,

Thurlow Weed, in an able article
contrasts the work Of Moody and In
gersoll in New York City. In 1t b
says:
Hundreds Of drunkards we're re
claimed; gamblers AMI prize. ghter
we're converted. Destitute wives anC
children and desolate homes have beeI
made happy and bright by the rsscu,
and return of reformed husbands snG
fathers. Long and gratefully will tht
advent of Moody be remembered. The
city is still fragrant with tabernacle
memories.
"The Moody and Sankey hymns,
we'll known to the Christian world, are
now sung by native converts in the
interior Of Africa. The sale Of these
hymn books produces handsome sum, =,
which Mr.. Moody devotes to missionary
purposes.
"At his home in Northfsld, Mass,
he has erected suitable building for q
mission school and home fer Indian
girls-some fifty of whom, from the far
West. have already been received.
"And now invite Mr.. Ingersoll or
any OF his followers, to inform the pub
lie how and to what extent they have
profted by his missionary labors in
this city--wbat salntsry reforms he
has inaugurated, or even suggested,
and in what msnrer and to what ex.
tent he has contributed to the general
welfare or happiness of any OF his tel-
low citizsns?"

year at Shreveport, on the 26th inst.
The Conference will be most import
ant one, and matters Of deep interest
will come up for consideration. 1t will
doubtless be determined before the sd.
journnent Of the body who shall be
sent to New Orleans to I'll the pulpit
Of Ames' Church, Of this city, and We
cannot refrain from expressing the
hope that the present incumbent, Rev.
Mr.. BristOr, may be retained In posi-
tion which he has filed with such con-
spicuous ability, and with So much
benefit to his congregation, to whom,
since his ministry here, he has become
greatly endeared.
His scholarly Sttainmsnts, and his
frank and genial disposition have
drawn to him warm friends even from
among those who are not members OF
hls church, and his removal from this
field would be regar led as q misfortune
by the public at large.
Mr.. Bristor came to New Orleans a
stranger, but he has, by his pure and
unblrmished life, by his genuine worth,
great ability, and the innate kindli-
ness Of his nature, won the esteem,
friss dship and admiration OF all sorts
OF people. The Democrat would sin
cereiy regret TO see him removed to

The Physicians Bulletins and the
Facts.


The question of all-absorDing interest to the
country for the past ten weeks has been the
condition of the President. 1t is not too much
to say that it has been as though member OF
each individual household were lying upon a
sick bed and the desire to be fully informed
of the facts has been that of the family and
friends in the ante.chamber of an invalid peril
ously balanced between life and DEATH The
country has been treated in this view as though
it needed to be sustained with false hopes and
soothed with sympathetic generalities, which
belle the absolute knowledge and cause a more
distressing revulsion, when they are not sup
ported by the results. We have already spoken
of the disappointment which has come from
the general language of the medical bulletins,
that the President was Improving" )" "holding
his own," and ''doing WELL" which were given
forth day after day, until the country would
have been less surprised to hear that the Presi-
dent was walking about his room than that he
had been reduced to the last stage of emacia-
tion, and was SO infected with blood-poisoning
and malarial fever that he had to be removed
on the desperate chance of saving his life.
The same false tone to the medical bulletins
is being continued now. We are informed
that the bullet has encysted, when the high
fever and the symptoms of active blood poison
ing give emphatic contradiction to the state
ment, and significant admissions are made by
the surgeons about the change in the location
of the ball. and the possibility of extracting it
under the pressure of necessity. We are in
formed that there is little danger from puru-
lent abscess in so vital an organ as the lungs,
and no alarm is given from the condition Of
the blood, which created it, and which, as is
well known in surgical practice, is in immi-
nent danger Of affecting the liver, the kidneys
and other vital organs in the same way. we
are assured that the President has recovered
his appetite and is taking solid food, when It IS
afterward admitted that reed bird or wood
cock would make him four meals, and the
stimulants have had to be renewed. The Ian
guage of the medical bulletins appears to be
| ingeniously contrived to give as falsely favor
able an impression as possible without being
absolutely untrue in facts and it is only upon
the admissions wrung out by the persistent in
duires of the newspaper correspondents that
the country has been able to obtain from the
physicians a true understanding of the case.
The Portland daily press., 1881-09-19

In his address before the New England
Agricultural society at Worcester, Monday,
Commissioner Loring presented some note
worthy statistics with regard to the increase
of agricultural wealth in the United States.
Ten years ago the amount of Indian corn
raised in the country was 760,944, $40 BUSH
els. The census of 1880 shows a growth in
1879 of 1, ,754, ,449, ,435 bushels. OF wheat, in
1870 there were raised 2S7, 7,745, 1926 bushels;
in 1879, 459,667, ,043 bushels. Of oats in
1870 there were raised 2S2, ,107, 157 bushels;
in 1870, 40, $4,000 bushels. OF barley in
1870 there were raised 29,761,30 bushels;
in 1870, "A, 113, ,495 bushels. Of rye, in 1870
there were raised 16,918,795 bushels; in
1879. Is, ,S31 ,621 bushels. The tobacco crop,
which. in 1870 amounted to 262,235, ,341
pounds, in 1880 was estimated to be 473, ,107,-
573 pounds. Exports of domestic mer-
chandise have increased since 1879 from
$685., ,O42, ,07S, to SSS3,915,941, and the
proportion Of agricultural products, S724,-
4s9. Alb, or S1.96 of the whole amount
entering into that sum, is maintained in
the vastly increased exports OF 1850. Our
cattle exports rose from s13,OOO,OQo to s14,-
100000; wheat from $167, ,69s,OOO to $780,
$4,000; flour from $35,000,000 to
45,o0O,OO0; cotton from $2O9,S 900
to $245, 5,534, ,339; beef from S7,oOO,-
900 to S12,O0O,0O0; lard from s2S,06S,-
900 to $35, ,226, 900; cheese from $12,000,00O
to S16,O0O00o; and pork from $5,O00,000 to
to $S,O0O,0OO. From these figures it is
shown that in the last decade our produc-
ton of important cereals has increased near
ly 100 per cent The cotton crop has in
creased fully forty per cent. in
the same period, and the production of live
stock shows constant and steady develop
