FIRST COMPTROLLER LAWRENCE,
says a Washington special, has sus'
pended the accounts of ex. Revenue
Agent A. t. Wimbcrly, Of Missis-
sippi, ono Of Chalmers's appoint
ments, against whom sworn charges
have been filed To the effect that
he made public boast that his du,
ties were mainly political, and
that Ito had not performed any
work. Judge Lawrence considers
this sufficient ground for an inves.
tigation, as he does not propose to
pay for services that have never
been rendered. Mr.. Wimberl,
will be given n hearing at an ear.

the charges are unfounded he will

GROWTH or NJ

A census bulletin Just issued
shows that the number Of farms in
the United States has increased
from 100000 in 1870 TO 100000
in 1850, or ut the rate Of 81 per
cent. Compared with the increase
Of population, which was about 30
per cent during the same period,
the agricultural development du.
ring the past ten years proves to
have been rapid and extensive.
The most stiking increase in the
number Of farms has taken place
In Che South aud the Northwestern
aud Pacific States. The increase
is shown 10 be 100 per cent. in
Alabama, 81 In Arkansas, il9 in
Florida. 9S in Georgia, 70in Louis
lana, 80 in Mississippi, rs in North
Carolina, 81 Ia South Caroline, GO
in Virginia and los In Texas.
Those are at once significant aud
apparent. They indicate the social
and industrial change that has
taken place since the war, and
show the extent to which its once
great plantations have been cut
mp into email farms. In Iowa
there has been an increase Of 50
per cent. In the number of farms
IN Minnesota, %; in Nebraska,
4i5; in Oregon, ia, aud in Cali
fornia, 81. The greatest multipli.
cation has taken place in the
Territories. the rate of increase
ranging from ~ per cent. In Mon.
tslna 10 upward of 900 In Dakota.
Tho marked growth Of farming
shown BY the census returns in
tho Territories and the Western
States Is obviously due 10 tho rapid
settlement Of that part Of tho coun-
try By immigrants aud others.
