In the former production is evoked to the furth- est limit. There is a universal spirit of thrift and ore ry, Sa ed highest = gree, and the its Of property never qu tioned. In relat we ana alow state of pro- duction, chronic discontent anda want of in- dustry and thrift. This contrast is due to the very itmited ownership of land in Ireland. For centuries the law and custom have tended to discourage the existence of a numerous proptle. tary in Ireland, and_to accumulate land in the hands of thefew. The cost of emigration, in- stead of being borne by the British government, is really drawn from the Irish laborers in Amer- ica, who, in twenty years, remitted to Ireland $65,000,000 In aid of relatives in poverty or desir- ing to emigrate to the United States.

The affidavit states that in all the cass where Morgan is alleged to have accepted bribes the commissioners rendered the decisions which the parties giving the bribes desired. It recites Specific cases. MEXICAN AFFAIRS.—Col. Strother, U. S. con- sul general in Mexico, in his dispatch to the de- partment of State, dated Dec.

The regu- lations make a good-sized volume of 146 pages. One of tha new regulations is that numbered 366. Itisas follows: “Receipts accruing from the proceeds of sale of all property belonging to the marine hospital service shall be deposited as miscellaneous receipts.” A sow caused the adoption of this regulation. She was a common sow, too—in early life a low-bred Missouri swine. She was bought by the medical officer in charge of the reyenue marine hospital at St. Louis for use aS_a Scavenger. An aged darkey living near the hospital was induced to part with her for the sum of $2.25 cash down. She was wanted to devour the refuse of food around the hospital. She fulfilled her pari of the contract most admirably. It should be stated that she was purchased out of the hos- pital funds. She had very little hair on her when she was driven into the hospital yard; it having disappeared by reason of dogs’ teeth and her having been for six months the ani- mated target of every small boy in the neigh- borhood who was perfecting himself in the art of stone-throwing. She had not fed on gov- ernment pap long, however, before she became sleek and comely; her hair Eppsares again. She developed into a’ high-toned sow. A man liv- ing just back of the hospital had a number of hogs; and the hospital scavenger was allowed to associate with them in order that she might not be too lonely. All went well for some time with the officer in charge of the hospital who congratulated himself upon his useful purchase. One morning ke woke and found that his pey had become the mother of nine healthy pigs. ‘This was more than was in the contract, and exactly nine more than was desirable. It was concluded to keep them, however, until they were large enough to be of market value. While they were growing they were kept in the Jot of the man who was the owner of hogs, and who became so fond of the young porkers that he made an offer for them. His offer, after be- ing raised a little, was accepted. Everythin; seemed serene again. The officer congratulat himself upon having increased the hospital fund by $51. He of course made a report of his sale to Washington, and requested that the money be placed to the credit of the hospital fund. The question was raised whether it should not be turned into the Treasury on ac- count of “miscellaneous receipts.” The officer St. Loufs became slightly indignant. Section Sof the Rev Statutes, provides that the proceeds of the sale of all old, abandoned or damaged property of the marine hospital ser- vice shall be turned into the Treasury as miscel- laneous receipts, not to be taken out without an appropriation. In other words, the money de- rived from the sale of property purchased by the merchant saflors who support the hospital service bya tax of 40 cents a month each, shall revert to the government and not to the hospital fund. It was contended that these plgs did not come within the pale of this law. ‘The question, in the absence of tie First Comp troller of the Treasury, was referred to Deputy Comptroller Tarbell. That officer, after a full consideration of the case, held that the proceeds trom the sale of the progeny of the St. Louis sow should not be turned into the ‘Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. ‘The money he held rightfully belonged to the service generally, and should be credited to its ‘The doctor én St. Louis felt better when he heard of this, although it is stated that he began to feel uneasy and wonder how an inno- cent sow could be the cause of so much trouble. But the question was not yet settled. It went to Judge Porter, the first Comptroller, upon his return to the city. A full legal consideration was given. It was some time before a decision was reached. The result was that Judge Porter overruled the decision of Judge Tarbell and held that the monoy from the young porkers and indirectly from the sow should be turned into the ‘Treasury under the section of the Revised Statutes referred to, and not credited to the hospital fund This was done and upon Judge Porter's decision the regulation quoted at the beginning of this article was adopted. It will be noticed that the regu- Jation says ‘‘all property” instead of “old, dam- aged or abandoned property” as the is in the revised statutes. The medical officer in e of the hospital at St. Louls still keeps his it does not allow her to either make calls or receive visitors. Naval ORDERS.—Lieutenant J. H. Coffin, to equipment duty at the Washington navy yard; Lieut. H. O. Handy to the receiving ship W: bash; Boatswain Francis But!and, from the On- ward, and ordered to the Pensacola, relieving Boatswain J. A, Brisco, who willreturn home to report arrival. RENTS PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT.—The com- mittee on expenditures in the public buildings held their first meeting to-day, and referred to a sub-committee, with instructions to invest!- gate and report the resolution offered by T. furner, of Kentucky, and adopted before the recess, instructing the committee. to inquire into and report what rents the U. S. Govern- ment is paying fdr buildings and grounds, and whether it is for the interest of the United States to continue to pay such rents or to erect ce buildings demanded by the public need. On AccoUNT OF THE DELICATE SUBJECTS that will come up, Secretary Schurz has decided to make the examination of the Ute Indians, when they arrive here, secret. There will thus be no public pow-wows. THE STAR ROUTE SERVICE INVESTIGATION.— ‘The sub-committee of the House committee on appropriations, consisting of Representatives Blackburn, Blount, Cannon, Clymer and Haw- ley, held a meeting this morning and discussed the programme to be followed inthe proposed investigation of the Star route service of the Post Office department. DELAYED STEAMERS.—Postmaster James, of New York, to-day notified the Post Office depart- ment that all ocean steamers on their New York from Europe are sive days overdue, and the outward bound steamers carrying the mails are delayed.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION. ‘There are twenty-five United States Senators whose terms will expire on the 3dof March, 1881. Of these fourteen are democrats and eleven are republicans. The democrats are Messrs. Eaton, Bayard, Jones, of Florida, Mc- Donald, Whyte, Cockrell, Randolph, Kernan, Thurman, Wallace, Bailey, Maxey, Withers and Hereford. The republicans are Messrs. Booth, Hamlin, Dawes, Baldwin, McMillan, Bruce, Paddock, Sharon, Burnside, Edmunds and Cam- eron, of Wisconsin. Three elections for Sena- tors to take their seats March4, 1881, have al- ready taken place, and a fourth will occur next Tuesday in Siississippl. Of these four the re- publicans gain one in Ohio, the democrats gain one in Mississi va and hold their own in Mary- land, and poss ly the democrats have lost one in Virginia, as nobody can tell how General Mahone will vote. Of the twenty-one Senators who remain to be chosen there is no chance for the democrats te gain a single one, while the probabilities are that they will lose at least four in the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The legislatures in all four of these states are now ‘ly republican, and that party has every assurance of maintaining its hold. ‘In New Jersey and Connecticut the republicans possess a very decided advantage in having a majority of the senators who will hold over. In New York all of the present state senators will take part in the senatorial election next winter, audof the 32 the republi- cans have 24, so that the democrats will have to elect very large majority of the representa- tives in order to overbalance the large republl- can preponderance in the senate. In Pennsyl- yania the republicans have controlled the es islature for several years past, and it is hardly probable that they will lose it next fall. CERTAINTIES AND PROBABILITIES. The republicans are cerfain to elect senators to succeed Messrs, Hamlin, Dawes, Baldwin, McMillan, Paddock, Sharon, Burnside, Edmunds and Cameron of Wisconsin. The most enthust- astic democrat cannot count upon a gain in either of the nine states represented by these senators. The combination of democrats and reenbackers might have caused the result in Maine to be regarded with doubt had they sub- mitted to the result of the recent election. But their counting out scheme has made Maine sure for the republicans at the next election. No- body doubts that now. The democrats are certain to elect Senators to succeed Messrs. Bayard, Jones (Fla.), Cockrell, Bailey, Maxey and Hereford. The chances in Indiana, too, are favorable to the democrats as the legislature will be chosen at the presiden- lal election, and the entire strength of the pany will be put forth. California may fairly be classed as doubtful, with chances in favor of the republicans. In the present legislature of that state the republicans have a very small majority, but in that of last year the democrats had a mnajority of 43. The influence of the pres- idential election will probably have the effect ot uniting the democrats of California, and if that is brought about they may carry the legislature. In fact negotiations looking to a union of demo- crats and workingmen in the coming fall elec- Uon have already been entered into with some 3 of success and therefore the republicans lose a Senator in California. A SUMMARY. To summarize: Of-the 11 republican Senators to retire next year, that party is certain to re- place 10 of them, with all the probabilities in favor of their gaining at least4. The demo- crats are certain to elett seven Senators in place of the 14 they will lose. The seven certain ones will be from the states of Delaware, Florida, Maryland, (already chosen.) Missouri, Tennes- see, Texas and West Virginia. They in Mississippi, which makes 8 in all. e Sena- tors whose terms will not expire until after bet ae 51 ee Re ee _ are gemo- erat republicans, and 1 independent, (Ju Davis.) Add the 8 the democrats ae certain of to their 28, and that makes them sure of 3. ‘The 10 that are certain to be republican, added to those remain- ing, will give that party 32; but with the 4 they are almost assured of gaining added, they will have 36; equal to the democrats, This leaves the two doubtful states of California and Indi- ana, together with General Mahone. from Vir- ‘nia, and Senator = of Illinois, to hold the alance Or power. Should the democrats carry Indiana, which is very pone and the repub- licans California—equally probable—then Sena- tors Davis and Mahone will have it in their power to determine the political complexion of the Senate. Men who profess to know General Mahone’s sentiments say he will stand with the democratic party in Congress, and Senator Davis has frequently demonstrated that his par- tialities He in that direction. THE DEMOCRATIC CHANCES. Therefore, the chances are that the demo- crats will maintain their ascendency in the Senate, but by a very slender majority. Should the republicans carry Indiana and California, it will ere them 38 Senators—just half—and then in all political matters the Vice President, who would have the casting vote, would give the control of the body to the republicans, Of course it is possible for the democrats to carry the legislature in one or more of the four states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and if they succeen in cari but one of them it will make their hold the Senate secure until 1883, at least. COMMITTEE CHANGES. As a new Administration will be installed on the 4th of March next year, the Senate will, no doubt, be ealled together in executive session The committees will, of course, be reorganized, but as the rule of promoting the Senator highest on the committee list is always observed, it 1s easy to point out some of the changes that will take place. This can be done as far as the Senators who have already been retired are concerned, at least. ' Sena- trying upon tor Ransom will have the choice of Tang the Cua isn of the committee on printing, now held by Mr. Whyte, but as Mr. Ransom is chairman of the committee on rail- roads he may preter to retain that. If he chooses the printing committee, then Mr. Lamar will become chairman of the ratfroad conimittee. As Senator McPherson is chairman of the naval committee, he will not be likely to aban- don that to take the chairmanship of the committee on. (pensions to be vacated by Mr. Withers, and this will put Mr, Groome at the head of the latter committee, Society Notes. ‘There was as much visiting In the rain yes- terday as on the first three days of the week.

Taking as its text the bill recently intro- duced into the Senate by Judge Davis to secure the erection of a statue to Chief Justice Marshall in Judiciary Square, tn this city, the New York Evening Post strongly urges the adoption of the joint resolution offered in the House some time ago by Hon. S. S. Cox, to establish a permanent national councilon art. This measure, it will be remembered, provides that to this council, of five persons, shall be submitted, in connection | pile! the joint a sou Careers all de- | is and proposals for paint or statues or- dered by Sonera. snk that @ majority of the body so constituted shall decide as well w the artist to be selected as upon the subject matter of such designs or proposals, except when otherwise expressed in the law authoriz- ing the same, The effect of such a commission or council, if properly made up, could hardly fail to be advantageous, both te government and the cause of art, and the resolution auther- izing it ought to be passed without delay. — The second number of the American Art | Review, the new Boston magazine, has a local interest for Washington, because of the fine illustrations it contains of Ep designs for completing the long-delayed Washington monu- ment. These designs are five in number,—that of Mr, Searle having spared in the first pum- ber of the Review. le some of them are very beautiful and elaborate in an artistic point of view, and in that respect more pleasing to the eye than the simple shaft originally con- templated, it is likely that the great expense of carrying them out would prevent the adoption of any one of them, however desirable it might be considered. It is altogether probable, therefore, that the old design will be substantially ad- hered to. And on the whole it is perhaps best that it should be so. — It is understood that a few friends of Mr. ‘Max Wey! propose to offer him the compliment Of Aglittle’ farewell “send off,” prior to his de_ parture for Europe, in a quiet way, some ever- ing next week. It is pleasant to know, by the way, that Mr. Weyl’s departure has been post- poned beyond the date originally fixed, in order to enable him to fill several commissions for pictures which were given after his purpose to leave shortly became publicly known. Whether these orders came because of a desire to possess some of that gentleman’s work or from a belief that it would have a greater commercial value hereafter,—that his prices would go up after achieving the European reputation which most certainly awaits him, in other words,—the cause of the delay in starting cannot be otherwise than gratifying alike to Mr. Weyl and his friends. — The illustrated entertainments to be given by Prof. Cromwell in Lincoin Hall next week, will afford to those unable trom any cause to travel through Europe the best ible oppor- tunity of becoming acquaint h the art treasures of the old world. As the “Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” happily phrases it, “a journey with the professor is the grand tour, minus the passport and the bills of exchange, the voyage and the accidents, the tavern keeper’s reckoning, the swoop of the custom- house, and the incubus of guides and ralets de plac Prof. Cromwell’s previous entertain- ments here are well and favorably remembered, and he can hardly fail to draw good houses as long ashe stays. —A French writer interprets the two words “Hors Concours” frequently appearing on pic- ture frames to the great mystification of the uninitiated, to say: “Gentlemen and ladies, this canvas needs neither praise nor rewards. He who sven it fortune, glory and fame—the just recompense of genius universally appreciated.” Briefly, it may be added, the term means “out of competition.” ._ — A Memorial statue to the late General Frank . Blair is projected in St. Louis. The commit- lee in charge of the matter are advised to get rst a good design by paying for it, and then to entrust the execution of it to an acknowledged master of sculpture. —Prof. J. Leonard Corning, whose discourses here on art a couple of winters ago gave so much satisfaction to his hearers, is engaged to deliver a series of lectures on the same subject before the New York Association for the Ad- vancement of Science and Art on successive ‘Tuesdays at Association Hall, in that city.

I also think the opinion of the judges should be entirely disregarded. We must hold the state government at all events if it can possibly be done fairly.

AvevsTa, ME., Jan. 10.—While one of the night watchmen was on his rounds last night he discovered armed men in the middle library, which is situated in the a pe story of the state house. Two were first vered and after- wards eight. The men were caret sec secure from ordinary observation, and were surrounded by a large amount of arms and am- munition ready for use. Excitement im A tee This intelligence causes con: rable excite- ment, and the Augusta police force will refuse to act until the secreted men are removed. ‘They claim that in case of disturbance a few desperate men, with the appliances at hand, could do an incalculable amount of harm. The men have been promptly removed by order of Gen. John Marshall Brown. The rumor that has found its way abroad, that the governor’s room had been seized, is false. The crowd at the state house was greatly diminished. The house was in session but a few minutes. All is quiet in the city. Most of the members will remain over during the Sabbath. NEW YORK NOTES. The Bogert Defalcation. NEw YorK, Jan. 10.—There were very few frésh facts-this morning concerning the defal- cation of Benjamin C. Bogert, late treasurer of the Produce Exchange. rT. Foster, counsel for the Exchange, stated that later investigations showed that the amountof defalcation was about $34,000. The bondsmen of Mr. Bogert ould make $30,000 of that sum, and the xchange would have to bear the loss of $14,000. There had been no hp of either board of managers or finance committee to-day. Mr. Bo- gert made a monthly statement of bis affairs to the of managers, but Superintendent Grant declined tofurnish the last monthly re- port that gentleman made for publication. His funeral is expected to take place from his iate residence In Hackensack, New Jersey, on Mon- day next. : ga A Boy’s Suicide.
