 the property chiefly of local residents. It is understood that tins stock was most ly placed in Cleveland, Ohio, and that the company management will probably be transferred from New York to that city, upon election of a new board of officers.

TIE New York Press, notably the World, is going for Hayes Secretary of the Interior, Carl Schurz, on his record in relation to lapsed railroad land grants. We do not know whether the fact that the gentleman is now editor of the Eve ming Post has any thing to do with the sharp criticism he is receiving, but pre- sume it has. His wonderful assump- ton of superior virtue, and civil service reform makes him an object of attack.

A RELIABLE gentleman just returned from California states that the cry for rain is almost universal, and which un- less soon had, a general failure of crops and a consequent ruling of high prices must necessarily ensue, the light local showers materially affecting nothing. The warm snow fall in and about Los Angeles and from which much good was expected, was entirely nullifed by the effects of a north wind which left the country dry as it had previously been.

THBoUGH lack of appreciation, the good efforts of the R. R. Company in en- deavoring to establish a literary and reading room for the benefit of its en- ployes, are liable to come to naught. Their good intentions being nullifed by the indifference of those whom they originally intended to favor. Ofthe many books now in the library not one is in circulation, and the reading room, at first supplied with magazines, daily and weekly newspapers of mechanical, so- and political tendencies has now not one upon its lists. No fees were paid and the company did not feel justified in maintaining an institution in which no interest was taken.

BAD NEWS ABOUT DE LONG.

The last news about Commander De
Long is to the effect that when last heard
of he and his party had gone some distance
up the banks of the Lena, and then struck
off into the wilderness, in what direction
nobody as yet knows. But as the region
into which he then entered is said to be
almost destitute of game, and as the whole
country is covered with snow, and as the
party was very short of provisions, the
worst fears must be entertained. Unless
one of the search parties should have come
upon the wanderers the prospect of their
escape from the wilderness seems very
poor. They were not in coed condition to
begin with. They had but just escaped
from a most desperate situation, and were
still suffering from priyation and the effects
of the climate. And now they appear to
have plunged, without guides, and perhaps
without supplies, into a trackless desert,
destitute of game, snow covered, and vast
in extent. And it must be remembered
that the last heard from them was in o.
tober. Three months, therefore, have
elapsed since they left the Lena to go in
search of aid, aud the absence of all further
Intelligence is suggestive of the worst.
Knowing the danger in which De Long and
his party were three months ago, the
world will most anxiously await the next
news from Danenhauer and Melville.

RUSSIA AND CoREA.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
Russia contemplates the annexation OF
Corea, on account of the insecurity of her
Pacific possessions and the warlike DISPOSE
ton of China. This is as lucid an expla-
nation of Russian policy as if one should
say that the United States contemplated
the annexation of the Sandwich Islands
because of the warlike disposition of
Japan. Corea has no connection with
China. 1t is an independent kingdom
pursuing a policy of rigid exclusion, and
offering no offense to any power. But
Russia is no doubt as ready with excuses
for her high-handed aggression as was the
wolf in the fable. The truth is, that she
has long been preparing to reach out for
more commanding position in the Pacific,
and that while the rest of the world has
been paying little or no attention to her
proceedings in that region, she has been
establishing herself in the most formidable
way along the frontier of Manchuria and
in the Amoor country. Conveniently
placed behind the island of Saghalien she
has built up military and naval colony
which is already well able to hold its
own, and in the little. known harbor of
Vladivostock, situated almost at the
junction of Manchuria with Corea, she
has a naval station which is second to none
on the coast for its accommodation and
equipments. There, in a completely land
locked port, of the most spacious dimen-
sions, she has quietly built naval dock
yard with arsenals and magazines on CO.
lossal scale. Among the many expensive
structures at Vladivostock is hydraulic
dock capable of accommodating war ships
Of ten thousand tons burden. There are
formidable batteries armed with the heay.
lest and newest guns. A telegraph line
connects the settlement with st. Peters.
burg A large force of workmen is con.
stantly employed in pushing the numerous
improvements. In short, it is evident
that Russia has ambitious designs on the
Pacific, and that at the rate she is making
her preparations it will be too late for prac-
teal opposition to her when she throws off
the mask.
She has been increasing her feet ever
since the termination of the Crimean war,
and it is questionable whether at the pres.
ent time even England can compete with
her in these waters as regards number and
size Of ships and weight of guns. The
annexation of Corea would give her most
commanding position as regards not China
alone, but the whole of the North Pacific
region. She would be co tally well placed
for aggression upon China, the Sandwich
Islands, Hongkong, Japan, or California.
The Amoor country is well supplied with
coal of gcoi quality, and timber in mex
haustible quantities. The climate is suffi-
GENTLY temperate to produce many of the
cereals and fruits, and the Amoor River

SOME MYSTERY.

There appears to be some mystery about
the political changes just made in the
Chicago Custom-house. One account states
that Spaulding, the new Collector, is
ga creature of Logan" and that he is dis
charging employees in Logans interest.
Another account states just as positively
that Spaulding is friend of Arthur, and
that he is fighting Logan, and that the
recent changes have been made in Arthur's
interest. But however the truth may be
as to Spaulding's inspiration and objects,
there can be no doubt on one point, namely,
that the summary dismissal of public
servants without cause, and for parely
fractional reasons, is scandal and dis
grace to the Republican party. Whatever
else he may be his recent conduct proves
that Spaulding is machine politician
of the most unscrupulous type, and such
man cannot prove very useful or avAila-
Bile supporter to any public parsonage who
desires to retain thu confidence and ap-
proval Ct the people.

TRUE MoRMoNIsM.

The Mormon Church is divided. One
faction favors polygamy, and the other
condemns it. This fact has just been
brought to the attention of the country by
an appeal from the anti-polygamous Nor.
mons against their opponents. The value
of this situation lies in the fact that it
disposes effectually of the difficulty of
attacking polygamy as religious institu-
ton. The true Mormons, as they style
themselves, declare that the practice never
was sanctioned by the founders of their
Church, but that on the contrary it has
always been condemned by them. OF
course it will be impossible for any of the
Mormons after this to pretend that they
are bound by revelation or Divine COM
mand to take plural wives. Their own
co-religionists have declared against the
peculiar institution" and henceforth
they must stand in the category of simple
breakers and criminals if they persist
in maintaining polygamy. This new de.
psrture will tend to simplify matters very
much, for of course the " true" Mormons
are, SO far as the outside world is con-
cerned, quite as trustworthy representa-
tives of the religion Of the Latter Day
Saints as their polygamous brethren. And
the !" true u Mormons are quite as eager to
have polygamy put down as the Gentiles
can be. They look upon it as mischiev-
GUS corruption of their faith. and they are
not only prepared to wage war upon the
polygamous heads of the Church, but they
have even pointed out to Congress how
their opponents can most efectually be
dealt with. With such help from the in
side it ought no longer to be impossible TO
suppress the evil.
