The committee was authorized to prom.

The Erening Gazette. OF Terre Haute,
Ind, publishes a lengthy interview with
Senator Dan Voorhees,, Of which the fol-
lowing - 3 brief summary: He says
that the Presidents recovery might ex-
tend through his entire term. In this
case the question Of inability cannot be
left 70 the Vice President, who might,
if he were too aspiring, refuse to turn
over the Office, should he be required TO
do so. The Cabinet has no right, under
the Constitution, to declare the Presi-
dents inability nor to invite the Vice
President to act in his place. Mr.. Voor.
hees proposes that Congress shall create
q commission of five members, com
posed of the Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, the Secretary OF
State, the Surgeon General of the army
and two attending surgeons, whose duty
shall be to determine whether the Presi-
dent is unable to assume his duties or
not. The same commission should also
determine when he will be able 70 return
to his post. Such an act Of Congress
might become a law without the Presi-
dents signature It he did not veto it
within ten days.

The Engligh harvest being disastrous
ly damaged by lengthy rains, the Eng
lish papers are earnestly asking how
much grain can this country export.
The question is, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, dor them unfortunately and
for us fortunately, not new one, for
during the last several years England's
teeming population has been largely de-
pendent upon this country for its chief
articles of food, and so it is likely to
continue TO be; for a succession Of bad
years, of poor crops and enormous con-
sequent losses haye disheartened the
British farmers even to the extent OF in
ducing them to abandon their holdings,
or to the less extent Of causing them to
change their entire system of farming.
Not only thousands, but tens OF thou
sands of the most experienced and
skilled of English agriculturists have
hidden farewell to the country and to
the homes which had been held by them
and their ancestors for centuries and
have come to the United States to enter
into competition with their late neigh
bors IN raising wheat to sell in English
markets

Since the attempted assassination of
Gen. Garfield Washington not only has
been flooded with "crsnks," but certain
lunatics from other cities have been en-
deavoring to prove that Gen. Taylor,
who occupied the Presidential chair but
about a year, was also sssassinated.
These characters insinuate that the vene.
rable Chief Magistrate was poisoned. and
several very prominent names are held
up to suspicion. This is rather late
day to make such damaging accusations,
for Gen. Taylor has been in his grave
over thirty years Besides, it should not
be forgotten that some of the names
mentioned by the reverend aecuser are
borne by men who would have shrunk
with horror from the thought even Of
such crime.

The Springfield Republican, of the 7Ih
inst, pointing out that the receipts from
public lands for the last fiscal year were
$2.201. 1853, twice the receipts Of the pre-
ceding year, or of any year since 1875,
but only half the receipts of the highest
year preceding the panic, 1869, says:
$50 the receipts of 1869 were half the
highest year, 1865, before the panic of
1857, and the receipts of 1865 were about
half the size Of the highest year, 1886,
before the panic of 1887. Before each
of these panics, 1887, 1857 and 1873, the
land sales rose with jump about four
years before, in 1884, 1854 and 1869,
went on at high figures for three or four
years, and then the business of the
country, which had been loaning first its
surplus. then its savings, and then its
credit, to enterprises engaged in develop
ing these new lands whose sale had
swollen the government land receipts,
came down with crash.

The Coming Winter.

Professor Gather, the Alabama weather
prophet, has contributed an article to the
Southern TURNER'S Monthly for October,
froai which we make the following ex-
tract in regard 10 or fall and winter
weather. He says:
"a few weeks back l announced an
early fall and an early opening of cotton.
l have since characterized the beginning
of autumn as favorable. l feel sure that
many Of your readers are even now
specializing on the coming winter. My
adgice 70 them, and to all others in
terested is, not to Eely ca the assertion
going the rounds Of the newspapers that
the indications for the coming winter
look pleasing They look anything
else but pleasing to me. On
the cortrary, a rough winter may
be expected Aorth sRd South,
and in Europe. do not assert that the
coming winter will be in every particu-
lar similar to that of 1880 81; but there
Will be much similarity. The point Of
difference, l think, will be in the fact
that while the cold intervals may be more
moderate. yet they will be more pro-
tracted, with much Eain, sleet and alter
mating freezing and melting in the North
towards the close, and considerable wet
weather about the same time South"
Upon this representation, Professor
Gather advises farmers to push forward
their preparstions apd email grain SOW
ing in the early autumn, while the
weather promises to be favorable. "Fore-
warned, fore. armed"

The Graveyard Insurance Swindle.


The graveyard insurance companies
have, it appears, extended their opera
tons to Ohio. A case has just come to
light at Steubenville, showing how the
nefarious system is being conducted. An
old and infirm negro named Jordan, who
had been in dying condition for more
than year, died recently, and his wild
ow, few days later, purchased proper
ty worth 1880, and paid for it in cash.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
Jordan's life had been insured for some
$50, 600, the widow receiving 10 per
cent. of the amount and the remainder
going into the pockets of the sharpers
who effected the insurance. The man
ner in which these operations are effected
is similar to that adopted by grave
yard schemers in Western Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The companies are
on the mutual benefit plan, hundreds of
stout, healthy persons being policy
holders. The officers of the company,
who, of course, are swindlers, then COM
municate with men in different cities,
who take out policies for large amounts
on persons who are afflicted with disease
and are sure to die at an early date.
When death occurs, the notice is sent in,
the assessments collected, and the
he, CO. in h
them divide it up. giving the friends Of
the deceased a small amount for the
privilege Of effecting the insurance. By
this means the legitimate policy holders
are numerically swindled. This is the
way the Jordan case was conducted.
Several citizens of Steubenville were
interested in it. Such system is, of
course, bold-fseed steal.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has written to
the Springfield Republican to the effect
that while the Legislature of Georgia was
prevented by constitutional provision
from making an appropriation to the
Exposition, yet that the Georgians had
done well. He says: THE support has
not come mainly from the North, but al
most wholly from the South. The peo-
pie Of Atlanta contributed 500. 900 the
day on which the subscription books
were opened. The people of Georgia
have not shown the cold shoulder, but
by individual subscriptions, now being
obtained to make up for the defeat of
the appropriation asked of the Legisla-
ture, will fully sustain the Exhibition,
and there is no fear of adequate means
being wanted to sustain il"

Mr.. Morley on the Irish Land Bill
and Other British Matters

ANU III 1881 2naNtNAo
Mr.. Samuel Morley, who represents in
Parliament the Quaker city of Bristol,
and who, like Mr. John Bright, is an ad-
vanced Liberal In politics, is now in this
country. AS philanthropist Mr.. Nor
ley has long been widely known in this
country for his liberality to the English
Door and his constant efforts throughout
a long and honored life to improve their
condition. OF course so prominent an
Enplishman could not reach New York
without encountering that shrewd and
active attache of newspapers who makes
il his business to interview everybody OF
any note, whether he be native
and to the manor born" or OF
foreign extraction. In the course
of the conversation that ensued Mr..
Morley expressed himself as highly
pleased at the action of Mr.. Dillon in
withdrawing from the Land League and
thus Indorsing the land bill, even in the
shorn condition in which it came from
The House of Lords. He was of opinion
that the agitation in Ireland 'was now
practically at an end, and that cit would
be wise for the agitators not to make any
more demands in the face of the conces-
sions already made" In this view, how
ever, it is not probable that Mr.. Parnell
and his followers will concur. They do
not regard the land bill as a concession.
They look upon its prospective operation
with suspicion, and, at the best, consider
| il but as a surrender Of a small proper
ton of the rights that the Irish peo-
pie claim to have been wrested from
them, and of which they demand the
restoration. In respect to the Brad
laugh case, Mr.. Morley spoke of that
much harrassed gentleman as Every
popular in England among large class
of people" and as ell treated by the
Speaker of the House" This, too, not
withstanding Mr. Gladstone has caused
| him to be decorated with the grand cross
| of the Bath for his recent services in
Parliament. But Mr.. Morley holds that
for his subsequent conduct Mr.. Brad
laugh himself is to blame. "He set,
he said, 1.-THE House at defiance, and his
notorious speeches on infdeIty were
made for the one purpose Of creating
trouble among the representatives. " Still
he was of opinion that Mr.. Bradlaugh
was entitled to the seat to which he had
been elected. The oaths bill stood, how
ever, in his way. He believed that
but for Mr.. Bradlaugh the parliamenta-
~ oath would soon be abolished, but
hoped that Tue custom of regular prayer
at the opening of each daily session
would be maintained. Mr.. Morley, him
self protectionist of the earnest Cob
son stamp, does not think that the new
cry of ''fair trade" will gain many ad-
! herents in England, or that the tariff
system OF the United States would dc
for her, because she must always remair
an open market for such products as We
have to sell. To balance this trading in
breadstufs, Mr.. Morley said if England
could not and buyers Of her manufac-
lures in the United States she must seek
them in her colonies. But the colonie:
also impose customs duties on British
goods, and how England is going tC
change that fact Mr.. Morley did not at
tempt to explain.
