All tho cars were thrown from the track, and sevoral passongers, none of whom boelong to thia city, soveroly hurt. 1t ia soid that Foster was roprioved in order that Gov. Dix might gain timo to consult the Judgesof the Court of Appeals, although thoy havo alrendy fully roviewed Foster's case, and docided that nothing in the evidence or the con- viction calls for o now triul to disturb the son- tonce of donth. N Sonator Tomoroy's case comes befors tha Kanras Legislature to-day, on the majority and miuority reports of the Committeo appointed to invesbigato tho bribery charged against him, It is stated that tho majority will report the acou- sations woll founded, and that & minority of threo hold them not proven. The aulta of the Chicago, Alton & 8t. Louis Railroad against the trespassing * law-ubldora” are brouglit undor the provisions of the Ku- Klux law. It is proposod that the State Troasury nssumo the legal exponses of the defendants in these suits, A resolution to that offect has boen Introduced into tho Loglslature, and refaired to the Judiciary Committeo, The State Treasuror of BMiunesota, William Seogor, was, somo time ago, charged by o com- mitteo of tho Legislature with mlsappropriation of the Stato funds, and was asked by the Logie- lature to resign. o bas rofused to do so, and s beon imponched by the ouse, Tho Senate will hold an oxtra session to try him. His pre- decossor, Emil Munch—who e also his father~ fn-law--writes from tho snfe distance of 8t. Louls that Lio alono is responsibla for tho dofleit in thd Trensury. Tho moral furuished by tho results of the ro- cont Congrossional investigntions ecems to bo thet thore is nothing eriminal in cheating Qov- ornmont, whothor National or State. Out of all tho cnses of fraud, corruption, and swindling which hiave boen proven, not one has been pun- fshed, ‘Tho only case whioh promises to meot witls n penalty ia that of Judgo Delalay, who s to be lmpenched for intoxication. No material charge of frand or corruption is medo against him. Woe may therefore accopt it, as the Con- gresalonal standard of morality, that drunkon- nous fu o orimo; fraud and corruption sre not, Tho last vostige of Gen.Fromont’s schemo, which Lo prosonted so successfully to the French poople, seoms to have dieappeared with tho failure of tho SBupplementary Incorporation act of tho Toxag F'acifio Railroad in the last Cone now boing orected. Other appropriations, to tho smount of 726,000, are needod for new buildings. The Eye and Ear Infirmary, of Chi- eago, nsk §28,000 forn now building, and tho Board favors ite appropriation, All the public institutions of tho Stato aro eaid to bo managed with serupulous intogrity, although the system of accounts i defectivo, The Staats-Zeilung is much concorned boeauso, a8 it says, T TRinuNE insisted that the law should be stayed in the case of the Temperanco statuto and the Bunday ordinance, and now in- siats that the law shall bodisobeyed in the inter- est of the “Railroad Highway-Robbera" by a non-conformance to the threc-cont statuto. The real concern of the Staats-Zeltung 1s, that Tue TrmoNe did not counsel the rosiatance to tho Bunday law, and doos not now sauction tho occasional attacka that have been mado on railrond conductors to forco their ace coptanco of throo cents a mile, nfter tho courts have decided that tho Legislature had no au- thority to fix this arbitrary rate. Tho Staafs- Zeitung will havo constant causo for complaint it it waits for Tne TRIRUNE to advise the farmors, or any othor class of people, to make violont ro- sistance to establishod laws. —r Ono of the reasons given by Mr. Butler for tho bill increasing the pay of membera of Con- gross was, that horeaftor thero are to bono sub- sidion votod by Congroas, oither in the ehape of money, bonds, or lands. Tho oxnct connection botween tho increaso of salaries and tho stop- page of subsidies is not obvious, unless, indeed, it is to bo inferred that so long a8 subsidy mons- ures are to bo passed by Congress members can afford to live on loss logal salary ; and that,whon subgidies aro cut off, members must lnve an’incremse of pay to ouablo them tolive. If this was Gon. Butler's thought, it has a digbonorable implication in it. Tho man who will accopt money for voting for subsidies will do 8o, no matter what his ealary may bo, and wo do not believe that the addition o $2,500 A yoar to his psy will mako the man honest who otherwisa would not bo so, Not & singlo bill containing o subsidy or land- grant of any description passed during the lato soselon of Congross, This may bo regarded ng the logitimate result of the Crodit Mobilier in- vestigation. Though Congross.domennod itsclt by whitowashing evorybody that had boen con- cernod in the disroputable oporptions of the Credit Mobilior steal, hore ig a palpable acknowl- edgemont of the evils which are suro to follow any Government subsidies, and a confossion that tho interesta of tha people hind becn outraged to tho last limit by bartering off the public lands and the publicmonoys for the benofit of Congress- "mon and lobbyists. Evon tho plausiblo shape in which the Agricultural Colloge job appoared did not ennble it to roach & succossful conclusion. 1t was thoronghly sifted by the proes and found tomean nothing more nor less than giving awny about §74,000,000 of tho people's money, adding that sum to tho taxes for the support of usoloas inatitutions, and dividing nmong & class of mon who havo failedto earn their living without Governmont support. Both Houses had virtually indorsod tho job, but, whon it camo to tho last, noithor dared to take tho responsibility for Its pnsaago, and it failed in the proposition for a conforonce. A momber of tho British Parlinmont, Samucl Plimsoll, has just published a work entitled “Qur Boamen,” which makes n study of Lho causes of shipwreck, and at tho same time maken somo vory oxtraordinary developments, Ile proves in his work thet thero are’ many hun- drods of lives lost annually by shipwreck, and, a4 to the far groator part of tlom, thoy are lost from causca which are onsily provontiblo, 1o daya: ““A groat numbor of slips are rogularly sont to soa in such rotten and othorwlse ill-pro- vided stato that thoy can only reach their desti- nation through fino weather, and o laigo num- ber aro 8o overloaded that it ls nearly impossis ble for them also to roach thoir destination it tho voyngo is at all rough,” and *that from thoso two causes alono (and they applled only to ono portion of onr rmorchant ships), rather moro than a fall bnlf of our losses arlse,” Tho suthor of tho work, who has novor boon able to got this systematic murder of sosmon boforo Parliament, on nccount of tho atrongth of tho shipping intoroats, has at last nccomplichod his purposo by bringing it bofore tho country in bool-form. The indignation of tho peoplo and proas haa at lnst compolled Parliamont to taka somo notion, and n Royal Commisslon is nbout to Lo appointod to nveatigate tho chargos. —— In commonting upon the Russian movement in Asin, the Bb. Potorsburg corrospondent of tho Independence Belge brings out a faot which s not boforo figured in tho complications of tho Enatorn queation. It claims that Russin han 10 othor objoct, in her Asintio oxpeditions, than to protoot hor subjects from brigandago, and that tho really dangorous move- mont {8 smong tho adhoronts of Ielam, prrtionlarly in Asia.

This movement hns its ramifications in Indls, and England knows woll Low terriblo aro tho rovolts of the Hindoos.

Ho estimates that in ordinary good yoars the de- partment producos 1,250,000 ifty-gallon caska of red dud white wino, oxporting about ono-half of that quantity. Like other orops, vintages vary considerably from year to year in quality and quantity, Chateau Linfitto, for inatance, having rangod from £70 per cask to £0 in & bnd yoar. The prico of thoe first-class of classed wines, which is now ready for sale but not for conaump- tion, ho fixes at £16 per cask for rod, and £21 for white, Ho also states that thero is porhaps no wine in the world that for richnoss of flavor and fullncss of aroma can bo compared with tho Clateau Yquom of 1861, and that thoso who dosiro to socuro tho clarob of 1868, o year that hus not beon oqualed sinco 1848, should send on their orders soon. Auothor fact which Mr. wnt stntos is not so pleasant for wine-consumors, Tlo says, of tho red winos annually made at Bor- donux, estimated at 1,000,000 casks, ono-fiftloth part only is from classed vinoyards. Tho rc- muainder concists of about 12 per cont of good tablo wine, 20 per cent of medium, and G0 per cont of low quality unclassed. As ho has atated beforo that only one-half of the vintage is ox- ported, this would loavo but 10,000 casks of first-clags wine to supply consumers out of Frauce por annum. —— Tho fourth annual roport of tho State Burcau of Btatistics of Labor in Massachusetts con- taing many interesting facts rolative to the con- dition of the laboring classes In that State. The classification of wage-laborers shows, under tho olass of ngriculture, malos, 82,865; fomalcs, 81; under profossional and persoual servico, in- cluding clorks, laborers, sailors, &o., malcs, 52,847; fomales, 1,640; under manufactorios, mechanics, and miniug industries, males, 216,- 2503 fomales, 70,861. Tho totnl wagoes paid in tho industrial and mechanical employments was £117,785,001 ; svorago wages of males por day, 2242; fomales, 81.07; youth and childron, 68 econts, Tho avernge yearly oxponso of & family of about five porons 18 209771, Ono of the most interesting fenturos of tho roport ia tho information furnisied rola- tivo to savings banks. The tables show- that the numbor of doposits during the past year was 500,515, the doposits amounting to an aver- ngo of $84.84 to each depositor; that of 85,603 depositors in 36 banlks, 25,000 aro wago-Inborers; that in 96 banks, 178,495 doposits wore mado of $60 and under ; and that 72,208 deposits woro mado bolwoen $50 and §300. ‘Tho roport strangly condomns tho omployment of children of tender yoars, from 10 to 12 years of ago, as barbarous, and also argues for a still furthoer re- duction of the hours of labor, in which con- nection return from ono of tho largest manu- fucturing corporation of Lowell shows & reduc- tion in timo of 18,00 por cout,—n gain of 20 per cont, and an incrense In wagos of mon of 49 conts por day, and womon 39 conts, 3Ir, James tho Union Pacific Railroad, who hold thoir aunual meoting at Boston yosterday, that e had sold his stocie purposoly to disqualify Limeolf from olaction to tho Board of Dircctors, Sinco Con- grons, by its recent action, had declared that o membor could not vote whon his polf-intorest way conoerned, ho lind dotormined to freo him- solf In this way, o that in tho noxt Qongross, of which he i o mombor, ho might voto and sponk on alt questions without suspicion of fmpropor .motivos, AMr. Brooks is caroful to doprlve him- aolf of any oredit for this resolvo by potulantly basing it upon the deoision of Congrosa in-. stoad of his own monse of officlal honor, and by utterly porverting the renl boaring of thin doolslon of Congross, Ho says it would provent mombora from voting on tho tarift with ovon a cost on tholr bnoks, becauso thoy woro affeoted by tho taxes, nnd suggests that the Houso bo rooruited horeaftor from tho dlma- houses of the country, ns paupors moy bo sup- posod to bo froo from intorosts of any kind, and lkely to voto with no sclfish blas, With nll his flippancy, Mr. * Drooks kuows woll onough that ‘o was oonsured not boeawso like all good cltizons, whothor Congrossmen or not, he hnd intorosts involved in tho general intoreats, and, with them, affooted Ly Iogisla- Hon but bocauso, instond of uaing his officlay position to amollorato all, including his own, o prostituted it to soparato and sntagonizo his porgonal and his public intereats, and bocanao, when elocted to ropresent tho people, o chiore to reprosent himsolf, and, as Roprosentative Brooks, to voto monoy to Cltizon Brooks out of tho pockets of his constituents, —— ‘WHAT CONGRESS HAS NOT DONE, The sossion of Congrons that has just ondoed 13 na romarkablo for what It ling falled to do ns for what it has dono, Tho usoful loglalation that it has provided may bo summed up in o par- agraph ; tho loglelation which it ns dofeatod or ignored, and tho important conclusions it has renchedaftor throo months' doliborations, furnish matorisl for & quartor of a year's issuo of the Congressional Globe. The ropoal of tho frank- ing privilogo, tho bill to anariy into effeot tho Troaty of Washington rolatiog to fishorion, the roduction of postago, tho rodustion of tho intor~ nal revenue forco by dropping tho Asségsors, and the bill suthorizing a sult agalnat Union Pacifie, comprige tho principal mensuros of importance whick Congrosa line provided, : Tho most dlenatrous of the many failuros which Congross ns madois to be found, ‘of courso, in its troatmont of tho Oredit Mobiller scandal. On the very firat day of the 'sosslon, Bponker Blaino loft tho chair and moved that o spocial committos be appointed to oxamine tho micrits of cortaln charges which had beon mado iu tho public prass, to tho offect that & number of Congrossmen had beon bribed by shares of Crodit Mobilior stock. Tho Poland Gommitteo was then created, and, from that timo on, tho Intordst of Congress was contored upon tho in- vostigation. As the result has proved, the great quostion was, “How not to do1t.” So abgorbing woro tho dovelopmonts of this ‘‘campaign conord” thai Dboth tho Bomato and the Houso gave themsolves up to waiting for what should como next, and noglected the businoss for which they assombled. The investigation dragged- its slow longth along until it scomod likoly that no report would be made. Stato- meuts wore given only to be contradicted, ro- viged, and smonded. Tho most important wit- nogges could not bo socured st sll. Bergoants- at-Arms were sent trapesing tbrough the coun- try onwild-gooso chnses. Mr. Onkes Amos' memorandum-book was forthcoming only et his good loisuro, and was submitted in parts to suit its propriotor's convenionce. Finally, a report was made, toward the closing days of tho sos— eion, which was instantly voted by the poople to be uttorly impotent, incomplete, and un- sntisfactory. Then it was.that Congrossmen bogan & system of skirmishing, with tho pur- poso of dopriving tho' conclusions of the Com- mitteo of whntlittle forco they had. Tho vote was takon ot lnst, and the final result was o dis- graco put upon the poople, and a shamefal blog fixed upon=tho National intogrity. Tho groat bulk of the time, attontion, and ability of this last Congress haa thus boon concontrated in tho offort mot to expel Amos, Brooks, or suybody elso; not to censure the mon who wore convicted of having taken Crodit Mobilier stock, not to condomn or donounce the practico of using places of trust to defraud the Government, and not to rebuko the glaring corruption thathas been traced to mombers of both Houses, Tho chronicle of what Congross has not dene is swolled by tho rosults of the other investiga- tions to which it has dovoted its attention. Ono committeo, Lolding over from a formor session, oceupiod all of its timo in discovoring how Mr. Clayton might bo found not guilty, Anothor had the subject of Mr. Caldwoll's buying his seab in the Benato, but tool so much testimony that it was found necossary to report this gon- tleman's guilt. The Sonats, howover, grappled with the difficulty succossfully by not taking any action on the roport. Still another commltteo was charged with investigating Mr. Pomeroy's donation of $7,000 to the Independence National Banlk, and found Mr. Pomeroy not guilty. Judge Sherman and Judgoe Duroll wero undor investi- gation, but the rosult was not to roport articles of impeachmont against thom, though the guilt of both was established to tho satisfaction of the peoplo. Tho caso of Mr. Colfax was roforred to the Judiciary Committeo, Which concluded not to impoach tho rotiring Viee-Prosidont. Tho Bonate had o Credit Mobilier Committeo of ity own, which agreed unanimously to roport Pat- torson’s expulsion, But tho Benate was truo tc the Congressional rulo catablishod for the sos- sion, and resolved not to taka any action on tho report, in spito of n demand on all sides, oven Pattorson's, that the roport should not bo passed over in silonco. In addition to what Congross has not dono in tho cnaos of corruption that were brought up bo- fora it, must bo counted tho legislation which tho intorcsta of the country demanded and which Congress has not granted. Mr, Shorman, of tho Finance Committeo, urged tho necossity for taking someo nction with referonca to a ro- turn to spocio pnymonts, and reported a bill which had the gorms of a succosstul plan, This bill was dofented, and Congress dotormined not to devote any further considoration to s mattor of so much importanco. A committes composed of soven Republicans roported against the Toderal intorforenco in the Louisiana olections, and pointod out tho nocos- sity for Congross to take gomo conatitu- tional attitudo that would sottlo tho Loulslana troublos and provont a recurronco of the unwar- ranted invasion of n Btate's soverolgnty, This was ronson enough for Conpress to decido not todoit. Mr, Morton, tho Chairman of tho Com- mittoo on Privilegea and Eleotions, pointed out to Congrogs, in an able manner, the urgent need for reforming tho Electoral systom. He de- goribed dangers, which wera aftorward illus- tratod by incldents in the counting of the Prani- dontial voto, aud insisted that so favorablo a timo for making tho necossary changos, imme- Qlately nftor a Prosldential eloction, could not be found aghn for many years. Con- gress, consoquantly, would K not have any- thing to do with tho matter. Tho call for reorganizing the diplomatic aud ocon- sular systom, and the oustoms' servico, besidos ottior mensuren of present importance to tho wolfdro of the country, woro not allowed to como to n declsion, Thus it will bo seon that all tho investigations and all tho projects which should liavo recoived doclslyo trontmont were passod by in & nogative ‘mannor, For these and many other thinga which the Into Congross did not do, 1t voted an incronso of anlnrios for ita mombers, to talko effcet two yora back. Tho only poaitive thing it id of any groat consequenco, thon, waa to authorizo n robbory of the Tronsury for its own immediate bonofit, nud in componsation for what it failed to ncoomplih, THE PRESIDENT’S VINDICATION, Tho socond inaugural address of the Prosi- dont was not a auccess, olthor in tho choico of subjeocts or in thomannor in which thoy wore dis- oussed. Tho Prosident's roferenco to himmolf boirayod unusual wosknoss. In declaring that the vote of tho peoplo at tho Inet olection was a sufliclont dofouse of himsolf agninst what ho calls “abusannd slnnder searcelyovor oqualed in political history,” tho Prosidont must have had & painful romombrance of what hiad boon said of him, and & grost dread that tho public had boon improssod unfavorably, clso he would not have ventured to claim tho lnst clection as o vindica- {on of himsolf, or of his pollcy, or of anything. He must havo known that tho voto at that olec- tion, instond of boing n vindication of him, was, it ithad snyporsonal significance, o sllent protest of o gront majority of the nation against him and - his ndvisers ond immediate followors. That tho Prosident must have folt that his na- sumption that the vordict of the olaction was a vindication of himaolf was not true in point of fact, and that the pooplo boforo him knew it was untruo, j& shown by his having mado snother, and, undor tho oircumstances, oxtraordinary vindication of himgelf, Notwithstanding ho aggorts that hin re-olection was an amplo vindi-' ceation, ho showa a want of faith in his own state- mont by giving an account of his sorvices from tho “‘oventful firing upon Fort SBumter” to the prosent day. This boing, porhaps, tho first. timo in the |Dhistory of tho country that & President has mado s porsonal dofeuse of himsclf in his inaugural address, it js to be prosumed that it is the first timo o Prosidont.lias folt that such a dofenso wae necossary. Had the Prosidont con- sidorod his own review of his long public sor~ vicos o sufliclont vindication from what Lo calls “ glandors,” ho would not liave claimed that tho clection had vindicated him, and his rosort to both the ‘“vordiot” and his rccord shows that ho dld not considor oither sufficient. His doc- laration that ho fools hio can * disrogard " what bas been said of him is nogatived by the anxioty ho displays in his address to claim, and havo everybody undorstand, that ho hns beon acquit- tod—vindieatod. COLFAX AND NESBITT. ‘Whon Mr, Behuyler Colfax found it necosanry to tell that he hed roceived $1,000 from a Mr. Neabitt, with whom he had & slight acquaint- nnco, and at a still later day romombered that hoLad roceivod $4,000 from the samo porcon, Lo was intorrogated da to Lis relations with Nosbitt, and said : 1 hava no xocollection of Nosbitt obtaining tho cn- ‘volopa contract whilo I was Oboirman of the Commit- teo on Post-Oflices aml Poat-Roads, I bad no connec- tion with 1t; it was & contract given to tho lowest bidder, o nover apoko to mo u 1803, or in any year proceding 1868, or up to tho day of his doath, in rof- ereuce to a post-ofiice contract. e nover asked mo to do anything, dircctly or indircetly, in regard to it ot avy timo. Provious to boing Bpesker, Mr. Colfax was Chairman of the Committoo on Post-Ofiices and Post-Roads, aud Mr. Nosbitt was o contractor for furnighing stamped envelopes. Nosbitt'a contraot run out, but was from time to time ro- nowed without any compoting bids boing asked. Postmnstor-Genoral Oreswell dismissed Zerely, the officer who had been in charge of the Con- tract-Office, and the now officorrofused to rencw Nosbitt's contract. Tho Attorney-Goneral de- oided it could not be done. Zerely wroto an argument in favor of Nesbitt, and Colfax wrote lotter inclosing this argumont to the Postmas- tor-Goneral, and strongly indorsed Nesbitt, ns friond whom ho had long known, and, of courso, urging the extension of the contract, Of all this Mr. Colfax has no recollection when beforo tho Committce; on tho contrary, donied it on oath, PROTECTION FROM THE PRESS, Boveral mombers of Congross, and ospecially Mr. Hoar, of Massnchusotts, opposed tho dis- continuanco of Congressions! bookmaking aud publishing, on the ground that such publications aro absolutely noceseary to protect the roputa~ tions of public mon from dostruction Ly the press, It was orguod that tho independont nowspapers of the country had it in their power to control publio opinion, and that, unless there was an officlal publication to countoract them, that publio opinion would overwhelm Congross. It will bo noted that, in all tho discusstons on this subject, nobody seomed to pay tho slightest rogard to tho influence of the party newspaper press, A Ropublican Sonator, spoaking on tho subjoct, namoed lnlf a dozen indopondont journals, and claimed that, unless their fufluonce was offsot by an ofiicial publica- tlon, thoy could destroy thoe roputations of overy publio man. No ono of these gentlemon scemed to valuo the dofenso by the thousands of party organs a8 of tho lonst coucern, nor that such organs had tho slightest control ovor the popular Jjudgment. The ouly nowspapers dreadoed wora thoso who habitually sposk of men and measures* without roference to thelr party afflilintions, and who expuse and brand fraud and corruption with- out inquiring whother it will hurt *‘tho party " or destroy a party candidato. Tho value of an ofieial rocord doponds upon its truthfulnoss and its justico. When a com- mittoo of Congross endoavors to hide corruption or stiflo investigation becauso tho porsons im- plicatod aro high in party councils, then such roports fail to win publiciconfidonco; and, whon such roports bocomo the rule, then publia contls donco In all such offelal publications ia lost, aud the pooplo look to the nowspapers for the truth, Tho roport of tho Poland Committeo, and of tho Committeo in Pomoroy's caso, are oxamples of this kind, It is not bolioved that the Poland Committeo did more than skim tho surface of the groat corruption; and the report of the Committeo in the Pomoroy caso hns not even thot morit. Tho poople havo looked to tho indopondont press—those papers that . publish the whole truth, and scroon no person—for information, and, having tho truth boforo them, mako up thoir own judg- ment. Tho oxpeotation of countoracting tho ine {luonco of tho independont pross, by officlal pub- lications mado to ordor, is an idloone, Tho whole powor of tho prous depondu on its truth ond fairess. To tho oxtent that it sworves from tho plain truth, to that oxtont it beoomes partisan, and sinks to tho lovel of the moroparty origan, or the whitowashing roport of & partisan committao of olther Iouso of Congross. Tho losson taught by the sucoess and powor of the nowapapor progs is that tho truth, and tho whoio truth, will alone command publioconfidenco, and tho opon acknowledgment that tho more party press is valucloss to defond tho reputations of public mon is n tribute, howover unwillingly mado, to tho ovor-ruling polver of truth, when foarlously told, OFFICIAL TROUBLE IN NEBRABSKA,. "Thero {s a romarkable ofllofal scandal just now dovolopod at Omaha, It appears that tho Aue ditor of Hinte, Mr. Gillosplo, iad chergo of o fund known ag the ** fugitivo from justico fund,” ond that cortain poymonts from that fund amounting to 3,600 woro rogarded ng suspi- clous. A committeo of tho Logislaturo was ap- pointed to oxamine into tho matter, whon Bir. _Gilloapio mado an sstounding rovolation, Ho statos that on the 17th of April, 1871, tho Stato Insone Asylum bullding ot Lincoln was burned down, and on the eamo night tho convicts os- capod from tho Btato Penitontiary. Tho Govern- or of tho Btato offored & roward of $1,000 for the capturo of tho oscapod convicts, but, owing to pomo wuuoxplaned indifforence, oould not be induced to take any notlon to invostigato tho burning of tho Asylum. Mr. Gillospio porsonally invostigated tho facts of tho firo, and bocamo satisfiod that it was the work of an incondiary, and that tho building had beon fired bysome porson within it. Ho pub himself in communication with the Ohief of Polico at Omahs, to got n dotective to hunt up ovidonco of tho orime. After long doloys it was finally conoluded to employ o fomale detective from §t. Loufs. This porson, nfter boing s short timo ot Omaha, was tnken sick, and romatued so for soms months; st n subsoquent poriod, sho waa again prostrated with sioknoss, This ill- noss poatponod tho investigation, and it was not until Beptember, 1872, that ho came in posson- slon of all the faots, and tho names of all tho persona connectod with tho erime. These facts oro stated tobe: 1. That tho building was so badly built, and was sucha fraud, that, aftor first tying it with rods and bolts to koop the wsouth walls from falling down, snd finding this would not do, it was sot on firo and burnod down. 2. Tho- first arrangoment to.firo tho building failed. 8. Throo of the insano inmatos wero burned to death, 4. Much of tho furnituro savod from tho build- ing is now in tho bauda of a'citizon. 5. Tho building waa burned to got rid of it,—tho porson firing 1t making monoy by the transaction, Ho professos that in a very short time ho will bo nblo to furnish tho proofs of all this, and havo the guilty partion arrested. Hosstatos that he used tho fund to pay all tho expensos of this in- vestigation, and intonded to lay all tho facts and ovidenca befora tho Logislature whon complotad, The Committeo of tho Logisiaturo find that tho monoy was illegally expended, and advise that sult bo brought sgainst the Auditor for the semo. In tho moantime, Nobraska has nsonsa- tion over the forthcoming disclosuro of tha mnamos of tho accused porsons. POSTAGE RATES, The roport recontly made by Mr. Farnaworth to.the Houso of Ropresentativos, upon rates of postage, containe nhistory of the reduction of postage in this country which is not generally known. The first Postago mot was passed in 1792, and introduced & highly-complicatod sys- tom. The lowest postago was G conts to placos within 80 miles, and from this it increased in rogular proportion according to distance, until it roached 25 conts to places moroe than 460 miles distant, In 1810, tholowent rato was changed to 0 conts, and tho lowost distance to 40 miles, The 9 rates wero reducod to 6, and 26 conts woro charged for dis- tancos over G00 miles. In 1810, tho minimum rates camo down to G conts and distance to 80 miles. Tive rates woro made instesd of 6, and tho maximum was 25 conts for ovor 400 milos. Thoso rates, with one oxcoption, ‘when thoy were increased, continued until 1845. In that year, tho half-ounco weight was mado tho standard, and 5 and 10 cents tho rates. In 1801, tho single rato wes mado 8 cents for all distauces under 3,000 miles, and 10 conts charged for greater distauces. In 1808, tho pros- ont rato of 8 conts, propaid by stamp, for all distancos, was cstablishod, The presont bill re- duces lotter-postage to 2 cents, and is nccom- panted by a reduction of one-half on the postage of nowspapers regularly mailod by publishers. The Boston Journal males the following esti- mato of tho eftect of the present reduction : During tho last yeor thero wors sold 404,500,000 Scont stamps, sud 03,000,000 S-cent envolopes, As doublo rates are most slways pald by additionsl stamps of this denomination, snd a8 forelgn postago {8 vory frequently paid with two or moro 8-cont stamps, wo oy tako” $160,000,000, tho valuo of 500,000,000 -cent atamps, a8 tho sum to bo offected primarily by tho new reduction, Were tho number eold to bo stationary, tho consequence wolild ba a 1088 to tlie rovenuo of once third of this sum—in other words, s losa of $5,000,000. An o matter of fact, howover, tho natural increass in tho number of letters is about 10 per cent nnuually, and this would mako tho number of 9-cont stamps, aubstituted for threes, for tho yoar cnding Juno 80, 600,000,000, with a value of $20,000,000, and reducing tho loss to $3,000,000, Thero i no doubt of the correctness of tho Journal’s Sgurivg, Exporlonce has shown, in evory inatance, that o reduction of postago hns boen followed by an incronso of lotter-writing, 8o that there is ovory probability that tho rov- enue from tho sale of stamps and stamped en- volopes will suffer littlo, if any, reduction. .- The business of tho railronds in Groat Britain in the yonr 1872 show tho following results, tho figures boing reduced to Fodoral money 3 Authorized capltal Paid up capital, .
