THERE is a decided turn in the matter Of
sur exports. It'll true that for the nine
months of 1882 they fall short of those in
the same period of 1881. The figures are
$134.512,779 against SLIT ,452, 1888. But for
the month of September, were
ss4,50e, OCT against $40, 947, 433 for Septem-
Der, 1881; and for the quarter ending Sep
tsmber Both, 1882, they were $69,656, 53s
against $65, All, 721 for that quarter of 1881.
That is, we are now exporting more than we
were at this pc. iod year ago, and the rate
of excess is increasing.

THE PRESS.
FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20.
The Next Congress-

OF the 18th Congress thus far 80 mem
bers have been chosen, II Republicans and
Is Democrats. Five States. Oregon, Yer
mont, Maine, Ohio and West Virginia have
elected delegations. In 1880 the Republl-
cans had % members from these States, and
the Democrats 8. We have lost 8, and the
Democrats have gained Z. All the losses by
election are in Ohio. In Vermont We lose
one by the new apportionment. The Maine
delegation is one less than two years ago,
but the Republicans have four now against
three then. West Virginia in 1880 had three
Democratic Representatives. The new APP
portionment gives it another member of
Congress, and itnow sends to Washington
three Democrats and two Republicans. The
present Ohio delegation consists of Is Re-
publicans and Democrats. The next will
stand ID Democrats and s Republicans
Thus it will be seen that the consrol of the
next House is not yet determined. 1t uIay
be in Republican or it may bein Democratic
hands. The November elections will settle
that question.
The political complexion of the Senate
will not be materially changed. The Re-
publicaus lose Senator in Louisiana and
gain one in Oregon. The Republican Sen
atcrs whose terms expire next March are
Kellogg Of Louisiana; Chilcott of Colorado
McDill of Iowa; Plumb of Kansas; Frye of
Maine; Hoar of Massachusetts; Ferry of
Michigan; Window of Minnesota; Saund-
ers of Nebraska; Rollins of New Hamp-
shire, and Anthony of Rhode Island. The
last named senator has already been reflect
ed, and Wilson, Republican, chosen to sue
coed McDill. The Republicans may gain
seats from Illinois and New Jersey, the
terms of Davis and Mcpherson expiring in
Z the Spring. If they have the good fortune
to succeed in those States they will control
the Senate.

upon which their petitions are borne
to the all-hearing ear. Their religion
is sacriticial, though | believe they
have no bloody sacrifices; and its GER
emOnies are always attended with the
sacred dance. They believe in witch
craft and punish it with death, though
not without warning.
Their government is one in which
justice prevails to a remarkable degree.
Once, during Mr.. Cushing's residence
among them, a bitter enemy of the
governor was awarded full compensa-
tiOn for injuries; and, so far as he can
learn, personal feeling is never an ele-
ment in their councils of Justice in
deed, none are chosen as governors or
chiefs who have not shown themselves
capable of perfect self-cOntrOl under
the most trying circumstances. Capt.
tai punishment is administered by Il
kind of UigildnteS. After one is tried
and found guilty, he is warned, and if
there is not improvement in his char
acter, he is said to have grown ashamed
and died; one thing is certain-he is
not to be found.
Beside the sacred history of which
have spoken, they have also fables
which compare favorably with EsOp's,
each having a pointed moral. There
is one of the turtle and the grasshOpper
which is aim )st the exact counterpart
of the tortoise and the hare. The tur-
tie, as he undertook the race, chad a
strong heart and confidence in the
Father above" Though he seemed
sure of defeat and derision, floods Of
rain fell and he was the victor. at is
the strong heart and confidence in God
which gives the victory"
Such, briefly, is the civilization of
three thousand years ago, brought to
our very doors. Such is the culture,
the religion and the government of a
people whom we count as having no
rights worthy of our respect. If | am
rightly informed, that spirit of broth
erhOod, of which we have been boast
ing these eighteen hundred years, has
more vital power among the Zum In
dianS to-day than among the American
people, yes, than in the church of
Christ militant. | do not doubt that
with the dissipation of their myths,
their religion will perish; neither do |
doubt that, though they have been de
luded in intellect, their hearts have
been illumined by the light (which
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world
If we, the Christian people of Amer
lea, are worthy of the mantle which
has fallen upon us, it is our duty, like
Paul, to preach to these our brethren
in our very mi st-"what" they "wor-
ship in ignorance :" not to destroy
their faith in their religion nor in theil
God, but to correct it. One cannot
hear the sentiment of their prayers, sec
the perfect faith which makes deatl
happy and triumphant, without believ
ing that God winks at their ignoranc,
and the Spirit of Christ abides witt
| them.

A Shocking Story.

The committee appointed by the
Kentucky legislature to visit the con-
Wet camps of the state has Just made
report, and the showing is perhaps the
worst ever known in the punishment
of crime in this country.
The condition of the men is simply
that of horrible slavery. They are in
sufficiently fed and clothed, are work
ed to the last point of endurance, and
inhumanly punished by irresponsible
persons, and are given not even toler-
able comfort when sick. In one rail
road tunnel, where the air was so bad
that the committee could not stay for
even five minutes convicts were COM
PEELED to work 10 hours at stretch,
with but a few moments allowed for
the scanty lunch, and this was some
times continued Sundays and all. The
men are whipped with strap, lashed
with twisted line of fuse, kicked and
beaten with ''swab- stick at the will
of any ''boss" employed by the CON
tractors. They are often disabled by
the punishment, and the story is told
of one convict, too i'll and faint to work,
actually pounded to death in spite of
his pleadings. Testimony was taken
as to the management in the past and,
says the report, sit was an unbroken
narrative of cruelty, brutality, beat
ings and death" In one case the men
were driven into Il caving tunnel
where no one could be hired to go, and
were there crushed and manned. The
dead are thrown into the railroad en-
bankments like dogs, and it is impos-
sible to find their number even. In
deed everything is so at loose ends
that it was impossible to tell how
many living convicts the camps con-
tanned, but the number is in the re-
giOn of 235, and the committee esti-
mate the death rate at the frighttul
proportion of 20 per cent. I'm the pen
itentiary, where the condition of things
is reckoned very bad, the rate is 2f
per cent.
The story is Il horrible one, but there
can be no doubt as to its exact truth,
and it will be strange if the legislature
fails to at once act in the matter.
There is hardly pretense made by
the contractors of Obcying the law, and
some of the state officials are plainly
derelict in their duty, but the system
itself should be OverthrOwn. EXpe-
Iience in the southern states shows
that cOnvicts cannot safely be hired to
contractors in scattered camps. 1t is
practically impossible to guard the
men against the contractors, abuses
crop in and grow worse and worse, un-
til finally the practice comes to be as
the committee says in this case, "cruel
and inhuman almost beyond belief."-

The Old Crows Lament.

An old crow sat, one winters morn,
High up on a sapless limb;
There was no refuge from the storm
That worried and pelted him.
His eye was dim with unbidden tears.
And chattered his beak with cold;
His plumage was torn by the wear of years,
His talons were weak and old.
In low sad notes he made his plant
To the bowling of the blast;
he scarce was heard-his voice was faint
By the rude winds whirling past.
They lifted his plumage to the sleet,
And shrieked with demoniac glee,
Pressed him to leave his cheerless seat
Oh, wretched and sad was hel
Il merit" said he, "a better fate.
I've kept the creed of my kind;
Have ever provoked the farmers hate,
And strewn his hopes to the wind;
Il pluck his corn that springs from earth
l gather the wheat he sOws;
Have pestered him from my very birth
And that's the religion of Crows
