THE SUGAB AND TOBACCO CROP—MARTINEZ CAM- POS AT MATANZAS, Havana, Noy. 7, 1878. The coming sugar crop promises to be excellent, the cane being finely seasoned through a succession of northern winds after abundant rains during the summer. It is estimated that the yield will reach 700,000 tons, taking into consideration the fact that much of the last crop of cane remained uncut in the fields. No contracts for the new crop are reported, owing to the dull and stagnant market. Several plan- tations commence grinding this month, The prospects for the tobacco crop of Vuelta Abajo havé improved since the rain ‘which has recently fallen there. The reception of Captain General Martinez Campos at Matanzas was attended with great festivities. Cam- pos formally opened for public traffic the newly built ridge at that place.

During years Congress has utterly failed to enact efli- cient or enforce existing laws for the abolition of this great crime, and we believe that more ‘of these ‘uniswful and unhallowed alliances have been consum- during the past year than ever before in the history of the Mormon Church.

Considering all our surroundings pol: aioe never taken such de- grading and debasing form in any nation or among any People above the condition of barbarians as in Utah. it is degrading to man and woman, a curse tochildren and destruction to the sacred relation of family, upon which the civilization of nations depends, and there are things that cannot be printed or repeated that re- duce the system to the lowest form of indecency. ‘That it should be practiced in the name and under the cloak of religion, and that an apostle polygamist with four acknowledged wives is permitted to sit.in Con- 01 adds to the enormity of «the crime and makes it more pevalbng: te our common Chris- tian principles.

England Asks Canada for a Fishery Statement. THE KID GLOVE SQUABBLE. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 1878. COST OF THE INLAND MAIL SERVICE. The annual report of General Thomas J, Brady, the Second Assistant Postmaster General, for the aacalg year ended June 30, 1878, has been prepared for the Postmaster General. It appears that the cost of in- land transportation for the year was $16,034,021, The increase of the number of railroad, steamboat and star routes over the previous year was 683; in the aggregate length 9,146 miles, and in the annual cost $649,126. The appropriation for the railway mail transportation during the year was $9,250,000, The actual cost, so far as adjustments were completed, was $9,566,595, which is at the rate of $316,595 per annum in excess of the appropriation. The difficulty, amounting almost to an impossibility, of preventing s deficiency of this kind is explained by the report. It is the duty of the department to provide for the transportation of all mailable matter which may be presented in the form prescribed by law. By act of Congress certain rates of compensation are to be paid for certain average weights of mails per day, and also certain rates for the compensation of railways. As the Postmaster General has neither thes) authority nor the power to limit the amount of mail matter to be forwarded, which represents about ninety Per cent of the cost of railroad transportation, and as he does not prescribe the rates to be paid, there are only two ways in which he can reduce the expendi- tures for this purpose to the amount appropriated. These are—first, by discontinuing the mail service on certain roads, and second, by discontinuing lines of railroad post office cars until the cost is reduced to the required figure. But owing to the laws which regulate the distribution of mails over new rail the cost of new service is not determined until the greater part of the fiscal year has expired. The neces- sity of reweighing mail matter in many instances is another difficulty. It is therefore not easy to prevent a deficiency. The amount appropriated for the current fiscal year is $9,100,000. It is definitely ascertained that $400,000 additional will be required to cover the cost of service for 1879. If no further funds are supplied by Congress service to the above amount must be discontinued. It is . estimated that $10,250,000 will be required for 1880. The ldrge im- migration into the undeveloped farming and mineral lands of the West, Northwest and Southwest, creating a necessity for railroad and the facilities for construct- ing railroads cheaply at the present day, will doubtless cause the amount required for carrying the mails on newly constructed routes to be greater than it has been for the last three years, as the increase from this cause was 5.66 per cent in 1877. In spite of the hard times it is considered that the increase for 1880 will be nearly eight per cent, and on this theory the esti- mate is based. Reference is made to the dissatisfac- tion of the railroads with the reduction of five per cent in the rates of compensation recently made by Congress. The greater number have entered formal protest against the reduction, claiming that a corre- sponding decrease in service should be made, and as- serting that they continye to perform the service tem- porarily only on account of the inconvenience which their refusal would cause to men of business of their respective lines. General Brady recommends that the delivery of the mails from railroad stations to passengers be performed by the government. He does not concur in the suggestion of the Postal Com- mission that some arrangement can probably be made with the railroad companies to perform this side service for a sum not exceeding $750,000 per annum. He says large savings in such service have been made in the past by inviting competition and it is believed that the most reagonable rates can be obtained by pursuing the same plan in the future. General Brady mentions with approval the proposed law to make “space, speed and frequency” the joint basis of railway mail compensation instead of the present system of making Weight alono the basis. It is suggested, however, that a gauge expressly stating the smount of space. to be used will be necessary, and that its establishment should be the work of Congress. An elaborate plan of gauging the space is submitted for the consideration of Con- gress in connection with the bill. The aggregate estimate for mail transportation and the items inci- dent thereto during the next fiscal year is $20,790,000, The total amount appropriated for the current year is about $2,000,000 less. 2 CONDITION OF THE NAVY. e ‘The Secretary of the Navy has begun the prepara- tion of his annual report. It will show an improved condition of the navy over last year, that the appro- priations have been confined strictly to the law and that no larger sum than that appropriated for the present year will be required for the next fiscal year, THE TERRITORY OF OKLAHAMA. Senators Patterson, Grover and Garland, the com- mittee appointed under the resolution of Senator Voorhees, looking to the estabjishment of the Terri- tory of Oklahama, will meet at St Louis this weck, and, with Senator Voorhees, will go down to the In- dian Territory for the purpose of making observa- tions and taking testimony as to the condition of the Indians, &c. Senators Paterson and Grover left this morning and Senator Garland will meet them in St, Louis, They will take a clerk and two stenographers with them. THE FORTUNE BAY PISHERY DIFFICULTY. ‘With the exception of certain provisions as to fish- ing on Sunday the provisions of the consolidated statutes of Newfoundland, enacted in 1872, referred to by Captain Sullivan in his report to Lord Salisbury in regard to the attack upon our fishermen a¢ Fortune Bay, in January last, are found under title 27 chapter 102 of the “Coast Fisheries Laws.” It is expressly provided by section 18, chapter 102, that ‘‘nothing in this chapter shall affect the rights and privileges granted by treaty to the subjects of any State or Power in amity with Her Majesty.” The Depart ment of State has no information other than news- paper statements as to the colonial government hav- ing been requested by a cable despatch from the Foreign Office in London to send a statement respect- ing the Fortune Bay trouble. i. CANADIAN INJUSTICE TO AMERICAN SEAMEN. Secretary Sherman has addressed to Secretary Evarts an official communication setting forth the injustice of the Canadian authorities in debarring American seamen from receiving the reward which is given to the captains and crews of vessels coming to the relief of vessels in distress and towing them to as place of safety. This position of the Canadian suthorities is based on the rights which it is claimed belong to the seamen of each nation on the waters of their own country. It is therefore insisted that the rewards of such service in Canadian waters belong exclusively to the Canadian seamen. As this distinction is not ob- served in American waters, our seamen aro naturally indignant that they should be refused the reward of their bravery on the ground that they are not Ca- nadian seamen. The Secretary in his letter points out the custom that has always prevailed in this respect, and submits the matter to the Department of State to be brought to the tion of the Dominion govern- ment through the proper diplomatic channels. THAT TROUBLESOME KID GLOVE APPRAISEMENT. Assistant Secretary French, in his report (which has been approved by Secretary Sherman) upon the kid glove case, holds that section 2,931 of the Revised Statutes, which gives an appeal to the Secrotary from a collector's decision upon the “rate and amount of duties,” does not relate to the question of vgiue, but only to the classification of goods. He also argues that this section does not apply to “the tras and ac 1 tual market value and wholesale orice” upon which | ORRIN ba duties are to be assessed. He says “that price is to be fixed by sppraisers under section 2,902, with an appeal under section 2,990 to s mem chant appraiser and « general appraiser or to two merchant appraisers, and in case of their disagree- ment by the decision of the Collector. Such decision, - made according to law in absence of fraud, is abeo Iutely final and conclusive. No appeal Mes to the Secretary giving him jurisdiction to inquire as to the correctness of such decision, and no evidence is ad- missible in any court to prove that the value of the merchandise is greater or less than that fixed by the appraisers, with the decision of the Collector ber tween them in case of their disagreement. CHARGES AGAINST BROKER MOULTON, Charles H. Moulton, formerly extensively engaged as a real estate broker in this city, was yesterday acquitted on the criminal charge of forgery, the jury agreeing with the Judge that the offence for which he should have been tried was fraud. There are other indictments against him, including false pretences and embezzlement. Some months ago, after the ne ture of his business transactions had been discovered, hé fled to England, but subsequently returned to Washington to meet the legal accusations against him, CONDON RETURNING THANKS. 2 Mr. Condon, accompanied by s committee of Irish- American citizens, called on the President to-day to thank him for the Executive influence exerted in his behalf which secured his release from # British prison, thus restoring him to liberty. The President remarked that he was happy to see Mr. Condon, hoped he would soon recover his health, and made particular inquiry about members of his family, with whom, it seems, he was acquainted. Mr. Condon ales called on the Secretary of State to express his thanks for the interest manifested by the Secretary in his be half. HOTEL ARRIVALS, Senator W. H.
