Tesreal estate brokers have more memoranda o e wants of investors on their bocks mow fan they bave bad at any time for several caihs, A large number of these inquiries are ts3 eopitalists who are desirous of buying hezess property at “low prices.” But there i 1l & conciderable dewand for firsi-class wiiences, This has eprang up within the last tedays, 38 iwo weeks ago ecarcely anybody w2 ialk about buying this class of gmperty.

No Representative of the English- Speaking Cutholics Among the Num= ber. London (Dec. 15) Correspondence of the New York Greplic, Am 1 wrong in suspecting that in Roman Catholic circles in America there is to-day—as I know there is here—a feeling of bitter disap- pointment, amounting almost to indignation, at the nows that at the approaching Consistory in the Vatican on tho 22d of this month, only nine Cardinals are to be created, and that no repre- gentative of the English-speaking Catholics througtious the world is to_be smong that pam- ber? “The College of Cardinals is the supreme council or senate of the Catholic Church; its members are the adviscrs of the Pope; and at his desth they elect his successor. Now, the Clurch of Rome is not only ‘‘Roman” but Catholic; it extends over 2ll tlie earth; accord- ing 1o the estimates of Catholic_statisti- cians thero are to-day not less than 250,000,000 Cathotics in the world. Thbe College of Cardi- nals, if full, would consist of seventy members; and if representation upon the basis of popula- tion weze the rule each Cardinal would represent 8 coustituency of sbout 8,500,000 souls. Upan this basis Italy would bave seven or eight Cardi- | nals, France ten, Belgium two, Austria six, South America and Mexico eleven, Germany five, the United Btates and Canads threo, Grea! Dritain and Ireland two, and soon. But the Collegs is now roduced to forty-four Cardinals. Thurty-three of these are Italians, three -are Germans, thre: are French, one is Austrian, threa ars Spaniard, and ome is Irish. When the nine now Cardinais are named on.the 22d, the Italian element in the College will be incressed to fitty. Hungary will have a_represontative. Portugal will have one, and Austria will have two. There will still remain geventeen vacancies; and Ifancy that the Eoglish-speaking Catholics of the world will inquire with anxiety why they are still x- cluded from any representation in the sacred college other than that afforded by Cardinsl Cullen. It is certainly no eecret that the Arch- b:n!m{) of Westminster has long been promised ared hat. It hos often been asserted, and never denied that I am aware of, that at the close of the Vatican Council two of your American Arch- bishops were informed that they might expect this promotion. In England, Ireland, Austrelia, Canada, and the United Btates there cannot be lexs than 18,000,000 or 19,000,000 Roman Cath- olics. These are cortainly mnot the least zealous, intelligent, and influential sons of the Church. Why ebould they be excluded atthis crisia in the affairs of the Church, from an adg- quate representation in her genate 2 The whole number of Roman Catholic Bishops aad_Arch- bishops in the British Empiro and in the United States is 139. Is it to bo belioved that only one of theso is judged worthy of being called to represent ths English-speaking Catholics in the senate of the Church ? There is o curious interest attached to the modern records of the College of Cardinals. JTight of its present members were created by Pope Gregory XVI., who died in 1846. The present Vops, who Logan his reign on the st of June of tnat year, has witnessed the death of ninety-eight Cardinals, appointed either by bhimsolf or by his predecessors Leo XIL, Pius VIIL, aud Gregory XVI. Thore aro thirty-six Cardinals sppointed by the pres- ent Pope who are now living. He created Antonelli, his Sacretary of State, in 1348; one of the other thirty-fiva was sppointed 1n 1850, two in 1852, two in 1853, one in 1855, three in 1856, four in 1858, three in 1861, seven in 1863, four in 1566, and exght in 1668. ' Five years have clapsed since any Cardinal has been appointed. und now nine more are to be made. In all hu- man probability, the fifty-three Cardinals who will constitute the collego after the 22dof this month will have to_elect the successor of the prescnt Pontiff, 3uch will depend upon the choice thus made. 'The Roman_Catholic theory 18 that the choice is determincd by the will of God, acting upon the will of tho Cardinals. But, bumanly speaking, 1t may boregrozted that from the College tho ropresentatives of the English- speuking Casholics of the world continue to be excluded. e el ILLITERACY BEFORE CONGRESS. A Scheme for National Education. Tashinaton Dispatsh te the New York Times, The Times, i a recent editorial article, has shown that the chiefl nced of the South is edu- cation. A prominens citizen of South Carolina declered at a late convention in that State, *that probably three-fourths of the children are grow- ing up in mental darkuess, and many aro learn- iug nothing but how to do eviL.” The Timesalso rhowed that, from the etatistics of the last cen- sus. it appears that in 1S70 thero wero in the United States 4,433,206 persons of the ago of 10 vears and upward who wero ot able to read. ’Fhis illiteracy is mainly confined to the follow- ing sixtcen States: Alabama, Arkansas, Dela- ware, Florida, Georgis, Jentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, i, North Carolina, “South_Carolina, Tennmessee, Texns, Virginis, and Wesk Virginia, In theso States’ alono, 8,550,424 oft Le whole number of illiterate eisons were found. A bill has already Fia reported to {he House of Repte- sentatives which is desizmed, in some measure, to remedy this evil. Itis thebillintroduced by Hon. George F. Hoar, of Maesachusetts, ““to ostablish asystem of netional edacation, and to apply the proceeds of the sales of tho public lands to the education of the gca)fls." ‘This bill has been “unanimously reported from tho Committco on Edncaiion and Labor, and the Commutteo. by right, hold the floor in the House for its discns- sion in the first morning hour after the holidays. The bill is substantially the same that passed the House last session, but which failea of pas- sago in the Senate, owing to the opposition of the friends of the Agricultural College bill. The President, in his message, calls attention to the objects which it is the purpose of tis bill to accomplish. 1t is ono of the purnoses of this bill to place the influence of the National Gov- ernment on_the side of education. The friends of the bill, taking counsel of an eminent French statesman, bave agreed that “it is cheaper to buld school-houses than to build prisons.” The bill is based upon the ides that suflrage is dangerous, if no: intelligent. It pro- poses a remedy for tha very great increase of immorant suffrage incident to our liberal natural- ization laws, aud to the extension of home suf- frage. The bill, it is claimed, ** seeks in a con- stitutionsl and practicable way, to establish schools by national authority where the States would not, without inte: i that would do it for itsel right o pass such alaw, it is mai ; be found in the simple’ proposition that **the pources of power being in the people, free schools and the general education are essential to good government and tho perpetustion of free institutions,” and that schools 2re as necessary to Republican government as courts. Sinco the United States, as charged with the duty of guaranteeing Republican government in every BState, might interfere to establish courts where the edministration of justice was denied, Bo, it is od, the General Government might interfere for the establishment of schools where o State rafused, oris unable, to provide means for education. ‘The mechanism of the bill 18 very simple. The bill * forever consecratos and sets apart the pro- ceeds of the public lands to the education of tho seople, as follows : One-half the receipts of Lmd.a after deducting expenditares, i to be distributed among the Statcs, Territories, and District of Columbia; the other half is to be invested, and to create a fund whose income is, in like manner, to be dis- tributed.” The distribuzion of the first ten yearsis to beon the basis of illiteracy. This ‘yould give the greater portion of the fund for the firss ten years to the Southorn States. It is claimed for the bill that it would put an end to the waste of public lands. It is expressly rovided, however, that the provisions in the Piilshallin no wise interfere with the opera- tions of the Homestead law, or with the laws nting bounties to goldiers of the lste rebel- on. 1t is estimated that the future net pro- ceeds of the public lands will amount to £2,000,- 000 annually.

A cheerful feeling perviles nearly all dopart- ments of trade and industry. now, except some branches of manufacturing, which are slow to pirtake of the general revival of activity. The genoral belief is now, that money willto sbun- dant,‘and this belief makes it 50. - Some of the banks report money working very close, but this is the case only with banks having & good many customers in the grain trade, to whom they are advaucing largely to carry grain in store. Some of the other bavks. report money pleaty, and are i all the prime paper offer- ed.. The ,suppfy of “money to loan seems to be stesdily increasing, but this fact stimu- lates epeculation and investment of. every kind, and 80 absorbs the money.: The increased sup- ply‘of money in the past week has helped to cause the recent large advance in the prices of grain, and also to make au investment depiand for local atocks. as Now York exchange is still very scarce, and gells at 60c to 75¢ per'£1,000 premium. There is an active movement of currency from this city to Now. York, and also to zbe country.

We are desired to say that, if any information of that kind be needed in Chicago, it can be obtained from the books of our Warehouse Registrar, without go- irg to another eity for it. ‘Tho leading produce markets wore rather less ‘aetive fe-day. and averaged lower. 'The reason for the easier fecling in grain was principally the aileged discovery that the “ ticker” quoted other marsats too high yesterday, and the state- ment produced a revulsion of feeling which was not favorable to firmness. The receipts, too, exhibited o slight iucrease. The markets wero weak, however, there being a fair demaud, at a lower range of prices, in wheat and corn, and a flrm feeling all around towards the cloge. There vero no new developments in the dry- goods market. Trade was reported fair at firm and unchenged prices. Groceries sold to a large aggrogate, aud the general market was again firm and buoyant, Coffees aro still unsetiled and advancing, and sugars, sirups, molasses, and some other lines are also tending to higher prices. In tho butter and checse markets thero swas fair activity, and both of these staple arti- cles were held with pronounced firmness, the former at 20@33c for common to fancy, and the latter at 15@17c for good to prime. Canned Roods sre etill somewhat neglected, snd tho ad- vance which has seemed imminent for somo time post hos not yet taken placs. Holders, however, aro confident, and aro_ rofusing to fill orders at any conceesion. The dried-frust trade continues active, with prices firm at the late ndvance. Domostics have mostly boen bought up by speculators, who are bolding for still Iugher figures, and in apples, peaches, and black- beiries a further sdvanco is looked for. Nothing uew was noted in the- fish market. Dealers re- port steady improvement in the demand, and for 1moet descriptions the marlkot is gradunlly work— ing firm. Leather met with & moderate inquiry at former quotations. Bagging was quiet and firm at 34 for Stark, 82i4e for Lowiston, 52 for Oiter Croek, nod 29: for Americanand Amos- keng. Pig-iron, tobacco, paints, coal, and wood | ruled dull as previously quoted. Oils wero rensonably active acd generally firm. The ad- vance in carbon, lard, and linseed noted yester- day was fully sastained, and there is a proba- bility of a furtber upward movement. Turpen- tine is aleo firm, with an advanciug tendency. Lumber remains quiet and unchanged in its general features. The movement is light and coutined principally to the comwon grades. The demand for iron, metals, and nails is improving, and prospects are favorabls for an early and act. ive wpring trade. The metal and iron mariccts are firm. Wool wasin good demaud and quite firm owing to light stocks. The trade in broom corn is chiefly in a retail way, but stocks aro not large, and all grades are held with firmness. No changes were rcported in hopsor hay. Both murkets are dull and not particalarly firm, Seeds were quiot, and, under large offerings, clover, millet, and Hungarian were s trifle lower, while flax was firm, and timothy steady. Poultry and game wore rathor more active at_ about Fridey's 1ange of prices, the large offerings preventing auy material advance. Hides werein fair de- mand and firm. Highwines wero quiet and Jc higher, with free byers at 96, and sellers asking 961/@97c per galion. Bales were limited to 50brls at’ . New York was unchanged. Dressed hoga were dull, and 15¢ per 100 Ths lower, shippers being out of the market, whilo packers wanted but few. The range was £6.00 for soft and odd lots, and £6.1214@G.25 for heavy, in good order, the inside for all under 200 Ibs. “The mariet closed dull with several lots held over. Sales were reported of 100 at 36,2 856 ot £6.123¢ ; 67 at $6.10; 120 at 6. dividing on 200 Ibs, ai £G6.124@ 1,250 head. Provisions were rather quief, but firm, with little change in prices. The marlket for live hogs was quoted * off ” to the extent of about 10c per -100 1bs ; but this was becauso the packers had ceased buying, and it was generally understood that the hogs now comiog in are not fat euough to make mess pork, or to yield much lard. Still the packers have cut up over 90,000 head this week. The poor qual- ityof the receipts indicates that they aro * on sweepings.” It does not make much difference in rogard to pork, a8 we have on hand already more than enough to run a couple of the Willlam Young corners ; but it threatens & reduced yield of lard, and meats are already m lieht stock. Hence Loldersof lard and mests were indifferent ubout selling, and the firmuess in thosa articles reacted to some extent on mess pori. which closed a shade firmer, while lard advanced 10@ 20c per 100 Ibs, under a rather sharp demand. We yet need to pack about 270,000 hogs to eqaal the work of last geason ; and it dos not uow ook as if that task can be performed.

The Lerant Herald gives the following account of a recent robbery of £80,000 from the Impe- rial Ottoman Bauk. It seems to have been car- ried on during a period of four years by a stale contrivance which, naderany ordinary system of vigilance, conld scarcely have been pursued fora single week without discovery : “The_principal event has been-the discovery by Mr. F. W. Smythe, tho Chief Cashier, of gigantic theft committed upon tho Impe- rial Ottoman Bank by a certain Afixirditch * Simonovitch, an Armenian, one of the under caebiers. The culpmt is the younger . brother of the Chief Assistant Cashier, who haa been for seventeen years in tho bank, and who has slways enjoyed the fullest confis donce of the Directors. The defaulter was not bighly paid, receiving only £120 - year, but his duties gave him access to the cash “balances of notes and coin, and he appears to have been ad- dicted to speculation in the fands. The robbery began, according to the confession of - Simono- vich, about four years ago, and was mainly nc- complished by extracting 300 pounds from the 1,000-pound bags of gold snd filing up the bags with the exact weight of 800 pounds in gilver coin, 8o that ncithay the extérnal’ ap- co mor the weight of tho bags was in any way altered. The Imperial Otto- man Bank is the only establishment in Constan= tinople which has u large turnover of coin, snd that bas been known to amount to half a miilion in the course of a dany. Consequently thia young man, trusted as he was by his brother, and on bis brother's reputation, 8 well a8 his own, by the superior officrs of the bank, was able to pass tho bags he had tampered with from the service balance into the reserve, and to enbati- tute genuine for adulterated bags, as theso latter were drawn from the reserve. Latterly, Simono- vich had extended his depredations to notes and securities, but the system of the bank did not lend itself to plunder in thosedepartmants, and the robbery was discovered by the Chief Cashier checking the service balance of notes. The totzl amount of which the bank Las been plundered docs not; as far ag our information goes, fall short of £80,000, including £25,000 of securities. Without prejudging the case, thore seems to have been some lamenfable defect in the rela- tions between the cush service department, under the control of the Chief Cashier, and the reserve de;;’mmcm under that of the direction, for the robbery appears to have been rendered practicable by the want of a proper system of checkin the daily process of transforring large amounts from the kecping of the Cashier fo that of the direction, and vice versa.” —_——— [A! Pennsylvanian 111 Years Oid. From the Philadelphin Press, George LaBar, born_at Mount Bethel, North- ampton County, Pa., in the aatumn of 1763, is etill living at Spraguoville, Monroe County. in lus 11ith year. His biographer, 3r. A. B. Burrell, hos scon him several times, ard gives us the' following particulars: * He bas voted for every President since Washington; hasvoted the Democratic ticket always. When he was born there wero 1,000,000 of peoplein the United States; that has grown to 40,000,000. He Ly ten grandchildren and cighty great grandciiildzer. e bas & son who had the same nuinber of grand- clildren. ;> The following curious incidonts are taken from Mr. Barrell's book : * Mr. La Bar has had fonr- teen children in all. But, if we throwaway three-sevenths for deaths aLd casualties, we wiil Dbave four-gavenths, or eight of the fowteon, lefs 88 produciog members. He iiad ten such. but we will mako eight the producing atock, sad tho result will show an army of 12,270. This may be too high, but we shculd remember that wo have been counting for four generatious, wherow there havo been ot least five geuerations since ths original brothers went ont from their bach- elor cabin. Again, Georgo's eight producing children increased by o ratio of eight, and wo Lave sixty-four grandchildren ; then throwing away the three-zevenths, wo haye four-sevenths, or thirty-seven left, which increased agsin by _our ratio, we have 296 gieat grandchiloren. Deducting _and maltiply- ing aa before, we have 1,360 great great grand- chrldren—most of them yet to be! Of course one-half of the La Bar descendants have many different names, coming from the femule side, which is changed by marriage. I find -the La Bar blood reaches into almost every family in Mount Bethel and Monroe County, and scrogs the river into Warren County, Now Jerses. George Le Bar's oldest child was' born in 1791, and is therefore 79 years of age. He was mar- ried at 21 to a girlof 13. _Their oldest cbild is now 56, This is Mr. La Bar's oldest grandchill. Tha old son and his young wife aro still liviog, having raised a large family—so it seems to healthy for & girlé(r) marry st 13. ;?agfll;ldfi: child is leas than fiftcen years youn f mother, and his head is far whiter to-day <han } his old grandfather's of 111 years.
