Eugene Hale, of 3faine, * | ANNOUNCEMENT Is made In the dispatches“ this morning of the death of the lon. George Sintth Houston, United States Senator from Alabama, aged 63, Mr, Houston was elected ‘ug a Democrat to succeed George F. Spencer, Ropublican, tuking his seat Mareh 18 of Inst year, and his term would have expired Mureh 3, 1885. He had been in publie life for avout * forty-five years, having served in Congress as a Representative from Alabama almost continuously from 1841 to 1861, the only break being Inthe Thirly-first Congress, when he -declined to bos candidate. Hoe was a mem- der of the House up to and Including the “Thirty-sixth Congress, when te resigned tn January, 1861, and followed Alabaina out of the Unton. In 1865 ho was elected United States Senator, but was not allowed to take Ils seat, and two years Inter was elected Governor of Alabama, ~ Tiere Is reason to believe that the agita- lon of the New-Year’s wine and Iattar ques tion this year has induced a very Inrge pro- portion of the Chicago Indies who are receiv- ing to-day not to offer anytiing tocallers that “ts stronger than coffee, ‘The Influence of fashion {s so strong that many will, on this > aecount, decline to offer wine who would j otherwise do so, and its, one of a few cnses -In which fashion Ison the rightalde, With- out any reference to the genural question of abstinence from drink, itis certain that the custom of serving wine to New-Year'g callers. “Is "more honored in the breach than In the ob- ‘y servance.”* A large proportion of those who make numerous calls on New-Year's Day aro young men, and the number of thelr calling- > Places, a8 well as thelr youth, Isa good renasun ‘why thoy should not bo asked to drink any * thing of an Intoxleating nature, Every lady ‘who passes the day without proffering wine {| -or Iquor te gentlemen will be the bet- , :ler satisfied with herself when tho day is ‘ pvor, and every gentleman who abstilus from | drinking will be a good deat the more cum- fortable to-morrow morning, ' Avren hia numerous professions of nbso- Jute contidence tn the soundness of his pus!- , ,Uon, and declaring repeatedly that the action : tot himself and Counell was nut subject to } “fudicial review, Gov, Garcelon hts weakoned | atthe last noment and consented to frame a ‘Mat of questions to be submitted to the Su- ‘ preme Court, The precise form of these THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, anestions he has taken tho utmost pains to Keep o secret, declaring that they shall not be made public until the Court shall give them to the world;. but it is perfectly well known that the category anbniltted by Garceton will contain none of tho concise and stiupto interrogatories pro- posed by Goy.

The Court may deeling to put Into its month the gag Garcelon, has whittled so cleverly, ———— Tne shooting and probable killing of the little girl Ryan by her brothor adds another to the already long list of crimes that might properly be elassifted and punished as “ne- eidental murders.” Here was 9 Ind of 15 flourishing n loaded pistol which he liad bought on Christmas, and the most eharita- ble version of the affair fs to the effect that, having forgotten there was no ball tu the pistol, he asked his little sister, “May I shoot you?” and when she gave consent he pulled the trigger and sent n builet crashing into herskull. Whether the child live or dle,—and there fg senreely s ehance of her recoyery,—there {is nerime in this ease which calls for something more than a yer- diet of “accidental shooting,” aud then the dropping of the affair, This Ind of 15 Is ald enough to know better than to fire n pistot® full in the face of Is child-sister; le 1s too old to be held guiltless of her blood. ‘The toy-dleater who sold him the deadly weapon and the mother who permitted Ihn to have it and to practice shooting at amark, both are guilly of ashare in tho little one's mur- der if she dies of her wound, and It is a de- fect in our laws that ought to be remedied that there is no way in which the two adult accomplices enn be punished adequately, CHICAGO IN 1879, We print this morning the full record of tho business of Chiengo during the year 187, the record belng brought down to the close of business yesterday, The exhibit in its totalities and In it details is, exceedingly aratifying, One year ago we announced that the grain trade of 1878 liad reached a maxl- mun which had never previously been at- tained, and which ft was hardly expected would bo maintained. But the receipts and shipments of breadstuffs during 1878, un- precedented as they were, have been ex- ceeded by those of 1879, ‘The comparison Is natriking one, The figures for breadstuts thus compare; Receipt, Shy hyp 1870, bushels... 157,024 BSS 1878, bushels... 34 bie tis 2280 Increase, bushels, .... 538208 11176,254 ‘The total farm produce received in 1870 had a welght of 5,475,000 tons, against a Weight of 5,210,000 tons in 1878, The value of farm products received in 1879 was $25,000,000, against a value of like products In 1878 of $218,000,000; an Increase of 1 per cent, - Cousitering the fact that there are n great many places In the country each clalining to he the grentest primary market for bread- stutfs in the world, we reproduce tho figures for 1979, that they may be distinctly known and remembered: 137,624,833 bushels of grain reeelved In Chiengo In the year 1879. ‘This record has no equal. ‘Tho wholesale transactions, independent of breadstuils, reached $'311,000,000, and thesales of goods immnifactired In, Chicago aggre gated $235,500,000, Making acloso estimate of these transactions and excluding duplicate sales, when such were included undeF both heads, the joint sules during the year at wholesale of manufactures and other mer chandise aggregate $412,000,000, ‘The grand total value of breadstuffa, merchandise, and mmanifactured goods reached the handsome sim of 3704,000,000, un Increase. over 1878 of 17}4 per cent, Yor tho detalls of all branches of this trade Uuring the year, we refer the reader do the general review, but a summary statement of the receipts and shipments of certalp articles is Ineluded In the followIng tables WECKIPTH, wie] | BIHUMENTH, 13, B 18, AUTICLES, Flour, bris.

Tho trade with Franee Is matnly carried on directly from this city, the purchases being mado here at first hands, * In reading this review of Inst year's bust- ness it must bo remembered that tho great business revival was not felt to the extent of affecting general figures until Inte in the year. September had fatrly set in before there was any genoral advance; and oven then it was confined mostly to fron and kin- dred branches of business, The grand ox- hibit of Chicago’s share in the genern! re- vival of trade and the great Inerease in pro- duction will not be made until it appears as part of the business history of 1880, Wo comment this review of tho business of the year to tho readors of Tue Trinung be- eause of the great Inbor, intelllgenee, and fidelity with which It has been complied. Ac- curacy, truth, and comprehensiveness have been aimed at, and tho results may be con- fidently depended upon, 50 far as earnest aud faithful labor could necomplish the work, THE OLD YEAR, To-day we enter upon a now decade as well fs 1 new year, and a new count will be made of our population, resources, and growth, It is, therefore, a fitting time, before we set up the stone to the memory of 1879, that we should examine the retrospect and seo where we stand this Jan, 1, 1880, ns compared with Jan, 1, 1870. The year, as 9 whole, shows gratifying progress, abundant prosperity, advances in all departinents of bustness, society, religion, literature, selence, edueation, and the arts. In no direction Is this more marked than in our financial improvement and business re- vival. The resumption of suecte-payments, the general good health of the people, and the abundant harvests have combined to re- vive every branch of business, and inaugn- rate a boom” that shows no signs of abate- ment. It has influenced every fleld of Inbor, and awakened a demand for every product of industry. It shows itself in the con- stantly-increasing volume of our export products, especially of food for those coun- tries In Europe where industry 1s diverted from its proper sphere of operation, either hy unjust laws or by military necessity; fn the. reopening of long-closed shops, and the con- struction of new ones; in the building of new rallronds; in the reéstablishment of con- fidence; in the steady and regular operation of the Jaws of trade; and in the hnppler and, more contented condition of our people, In this aggregation of prosperity and activity there Is every incentive for present effort and every hope for 0 successful future. Wile there is scarcely 2 nation in the Old World that Is not involved in dangerous po- litteat complications, we itre at peace, our foreign relations are not disturbed, and our domestic relations are such that we enter upon the year of an exciting Presidential election with nota thought or fear of trouble, imiich less of war, Onv of the most striking Incidents of the year has been tho exodus of negroes from the South, hoping to better their condition in the North. Probably 10,000 of this class have Ieft thoir homes,—not a large muinber ns compared with tho total: negro ‘popula- tion, but suMetent to warrant Democratic Congressmen In appointing ® commilttea to ascertain the causes, which Ie so near the surfava that any chit can see them. Since the world was created men have migrated to better thelr condition, and the same causes which impel forelgners to our shores are urging the negroes to the North, only in the latter cage the causes are more urgent and pressing, ‘Tho negro In the South has been reduced to a serfdom whieh is slavery under another nanie, Tle las been stripped of his political rights and rabbed of his citizensh!p.

Congress, Democratia In both branches, sought to coerce the President; but, by the fearless use of the voto, he held thetr pollcy in check, and in the fall these {sues wore pissed upon In the State elec- tlons, resulting. In oa splendid array of Re- publican victories, foreshadowing 0 Natlonal victory next fall, ‘The year has not been so satisfactory In the Old World, In Trance, it opened with a sweeping Republican victory, but before the close of January a complication had arisen inthe matter. of.military commands which resulted {n the resiguation of President Mac- Mahon and tho choles of ML Jules Grévy as hixsnecessor, Svveral Ministerial changes followed during the year, but not of extrar- dinary consequence until the present time. Another Cabluet crisis fs now pending grow: Ing out of the Education bi and Amnesty Taw, which will end in the resignation of the Prewlor, M. Waddington, and the organulza- tlon of a new Cablney under the leadership of M. Freycinet, England has-suffered from anoxtriordinary depression of her manu facturing industries and agriculture, from which she Is slowly emerging, only to be confronted by an agrarian com- pileation in Ireland of a very so rious character, owlng to the oppress ive Land Jaws and the porsccutlons of tenanta by tho English landholders, She has had two foreign wars, conducted at great expense and ‘serious losy of life, tho first In Zululand and the second In Afghanistan, both of which have resulted in her favor. In Germany tho Government was successful in the elections, and Prince Bismarck succeeded in forming new combinations, which made the Ultramontanes his allies, indicating a more pacific policy towards the Vatican, and hopelesly rent the Liberals, Tho Socialists have been crushed out, temporarily at lenst; 0 strong protective tariff las been passed; many of the railroads nnd insurance com- panies hnve passed under the control of tho Government; an alliance has been formed with Austria, ostensibly agatnst Russian age gression; and steps have been taken towards tho formation of n great Zollverein tnit- ing the Teutonic races, ‘The. only nd- ditional feature of fnterest In Austrin has been the extension of her territory to Novi- Daaar, indicating its future extension to Sa- Toniea, on the ZEgenn Sea, for the purposes of.a commercint outlet, Russia tins been kept in turmoil the whole year with Nihil- istic fucentlarism, ngasinations, and plots which haye twiee been almed at tho life of the Czar himself, Meanwhile the people have suffered untold misery, and, though thou sands have been exited to Starla and many executed, the conspiracy against the Goyern- inent has gained such headway that at last the Czar fs contemplating resigning the con- trol of home aifairs to the Czarowlteh, who fs very liberal and reported to be in favor of representative form of government. ‘urkey hag gono from bad to worse; J4 completely bankrupt, and on the verge of dismeinber- ment. ‘The Khedive of Egypt hag been de- posed, and the administration of affairs Is in the hands of his son, ‘Tewhk Pasha, under tho immediate supervision of England and France, Italy has been quiet. A new Min- istry hag been formed in Spaln upon the questlon of reforms, and a bill forthe gradual abolition of slavery 1s now pending tn the Cortes, Death has been busy during the year, and many of the prominent workers of the world have dropped out of thelr various fields of Inbor. ‘The Church has lost, among many othors, such men as John Weiss, Bishop Fo- ley, Bishop Ames of Maryland, Bishop Oden- helmer of New Jersey, Rollin IL Neale of Boston, James De Koyen of Wisconsin, Dr. Budlngton of New York, and “Bishop Whittingham of Maryland, Selence is called upon to mourn the Joss of Gervals, tho great naturalist; Elihu Burritt, the Learned Black- sinith; Rowland Hill, the inventor of the English penny-post system; Dove, the Ger- man meteorologist; M, Chevalier and Henry Carey, the political economists. Among prominent editors who have died are Morton MeMichact of the Philadel- phin North simerlean, Tlornee L. Hyde of the St. Louis Republican, G. A. Wright of the Richmond (Va.)

In the world of Royalty, Prince Henry of the Neth- erlands, Shere All, Willlam Prines of Orange, and Prince Louls Napotcon are no more, It only remains for ‘Ti Trune to advise its readers not to make any resolutions to- day unless thoy are golng to keep them, to enter upon the New Year with renowed faith In man and God, to so conduet themselves that they will be better and moro useful men and women a year from to-lay, and to wish thon all n Happy Now Y¥ car, THE BUSINESS POLITICAL YEAR. A good deal of sentiment fs naturally associated with the opening of a new yenr, whether It takes tho form of a intdnight meeting, of good resolutions, or social calla, It isncommon turning-polnt on which re- volvo reflections as to the past and hopes ns to the future, ‘Those who nffect to hold sen- timent in contempt ito not pause to consider how large n space it really oceuples in human Jife, and how Important an Influence it exercises upon all human actions, Its scope Was never more broadly Mlustrated than during the year which has just closed, when sentiment was a most potent agent in reviving business activity and material pros- perity. In this caso 1¢ was the sentiment known as “confidence” that shed sunlight upon withered efforts, and brought into full bloom the buds of hope and ambition, whose fruits had long been despaired of, ‘his con- fidence was tho direct result of one of the grandest of Nutlonal achievements, wrought. out by peaceful and honorable menns,—vi tha resumption of specie-payments after a Jong period of suspension and after tho vielssitudes and ‘excesses inseparable from an Irredeemable and depreciated currency. Tt was just one year ago to-day that re- sumption was formally decreed, It had been reached by preparations so complete, sud by popular hardships so heroleally borne, that, when it came, there was no shock nor dis- turbance, but a universal sigh of rellof that the Jong agony was over, and assurance that A ew era of stable values and active enter- prise had heen opened to the country, From that very day the signs of recovery were marked. Suspleion and dread gave way to confidence and hops, The men who had been hoarding thelr means began to look about for inyestinents, Mills and factorics which had been Idle, or running on short thine, were sot in full operation. ‘The fron- furnaces wore started up, and new railroads reached ont into new fields and after new re- sources, The march of improvement and In- dustry was renowed with giant strides, Re- sumption proved to be expansion, as tts frlenda had promised 1¢ would, and expansion of the currency on 4 ‘sound Dasis proved to be the very tonic the business of the country needed, Men who had been dolug business on a falling ‘market, and whose losses had taught them to proceed with great caution and niggardly methods, svon discovered that they could best serve tholr own Interests, under the new condition of things, by a liberal policy, Confidence became contagious, and within the past few months there has been a rivalry fn onter~ prise where for years before there had been acommon despondency, The laboring-men have come tn fora ful) share of the benefits that have attended the new departure, ‘The 1880-SIXTEEN PAGE wage-fund has grown enormously In propor- tlons; every man who fs able ant willing to work finds employment readily, and wages aro no longer Himited ta the baro necessities of life. Thomonster, Communism, has halted in hls course across this continent, and we hear but rarely of tho tromp-outrages that had become ao frequent qnd appalling. “The renewed prosparity which has followed a restoration of sound money has a siguifl- eant political bearing. Tho triumph fs 0 Re- publlean trlumph, It was the moral force and steadfast purpose of the Republican party which saved tha policy of resumption from the furlous attacks that wero, made upon it durlag the four years of preparation. No man, whether Republican or Democrat, ean honestly dispute Uils if he will go back over tho political ovents of tho Inst few years, ‘The Democratle party everywhere and at all times was ready to seck party advantage through a compromise of hard-money prin- ciples or an alliance with. the fanatics and demagogs who played upon the doubts and tho sufferings of the people. ‘The Republic- ans who became infected with the flat here- sles wers compelled to seek new political attachments for an expression of thelr theo ties, but Democrats simflarly inclined were enaily persuaded that thelr own party, if suc: cessful In securlng complete control of Na- tonal legistation, would yleld to the design- ing and the thnorous, who worked together for ® perpetuation of an irredeemable cur- rency. Party losses iu certain sections of the country dit not cause the Republicans to deviate from the straightforward course they had ntapped out, and they itnally found are ward for thelr courage in the brilliant sue- cesses of Inst fall, foreshadowing the Na- tional vietory of next year, ‘There has been but one bight upon the Republican party poltey with reference to the finanees,—viz.: the wntimely recommenda- tlons made at the opening of Congress by the President and the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, looking to the demonetizntion and extinction of the National cttrrency. ‘The Republican party had accomplished the work it hnd set out to perform in this matter; If had made the National currency ns good as gold; tt had restored publle confidence and lubricated the wheels of commerce Into now motion, A. attgeestion for new agitation, coming at the very frultion of long and steadfast effurts, was like the chill of the first frosts of the fall, and tt would haye lind a blighting effect, perhaps, had not the ruling elements of tho Republican party promptly repelled the offictous Interference and reassured tho country, There is to-day 0 universal beliet that Congress will not tinker the currency in any way; tho President and Secretary of the Treasury haveadmitted as much after noting the reception of thoir suggestions; and there will be no occurrence Nkely to deprive the Republican party of the popular respect and wratllude that It may fairly clalin for its itnanciatl polley. Two events. of the past year aro destined tomake 1879 memorable in the political and commercial history of this country. Wo te- fer to the practical demonstration that the amber cane for the manufacture of sugar can be grown in tho northern and western partof this continent and to tho invention of “Clement's Attachment” to the cotton-gin, which takes the cotton from the seed-boll and turns It out in allver or thread ready for spinning Into yarn and other manufacture. Tho Intter Invention, once suecessful and generally introduced, will add three or four cents a pound to tho yalue of the cotton as produced in the Southern States, and giva employment to a millon of idie whites, ‘The former discovery will add a hindred millions a year to tho ngricuitural resources of the Northern States. ‘Thotwo together will ena- blethe people of the United States to declare commercial as well as politient Independence of all the workl, and enjoy a favorable balance of trade so Jong as Internal jieace, freedom from famine and plague, and reason- able industry shall prevailinthe land. These additional resources will add to the politica! strength and National cohesion of the United Statey, as well as to the material prosperity of the American peopte. ‘rhe new turn marked by the year 1870 1s a bright promise for the year 1890, ‘Lhe Amer- jean people during the present year need only to avoid polltical disaster and speculative excesses to assure themselves « Inger prog- ress in wealth and comfort than has ever been experienced In any preceding year. ‘The National census, which is to be taken in 1880, will record o popula- tlon not much short of 50,000,000 souls, which make a goodly family of three gener- tons In growlh, ‘That same census will show Chicago to be the most vigorous youngster of the group. It will discover In this elty, and In the suburbs which are made up of Chicago people, not fewer than 500,000 souls that unite In the cardinal belle that, their city 1s to-day the most enterprising, and destined to be the biggest, on the continent, It will revyenl a wealth of resources and a promise for the future that cannot fail to inflame the pride and stimulate the ambition of nll who share this city’s greatness, In the grand and prosperons future which the new year opens to America, Chicago will claim the most conspicuous, the most useful, and the most onvlable place, _———— THE NECROLOGY OF 1679, * Below wo present the revord of tha prominent doucd of 187), classiflud ucoording to the departe nents Ju which thoy Inboreds POLITICAL WORLD, Robert W.
