In addition, ho considers that such laws should forbid preferencos to one ship- per over another in the facilities given for prompt and speedy transportation.

The Times has undertaken to meet this emergency by offering the following rewards: L. The Zimes will pay 1,000 for the first detection and conviction of a “jury-fixer” in Philadelphis, and any one convicted of corrupting, or at- tempting to corrupt, a juror or jurors in any case, will be regarded as a Hjury i 2.

Tur. Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Eepublican makes the following report concerning recent chenges in the interior department: Commissioner of Patents Marble has resigned in order to place his knowl- edge of the inside information of the interior department at the service of the Nurthern Pacific railroad for a big salary. Before he became com- missioner of patents Mr. Marble occupied positions in the department which afforded him facilities for ac- quiring such information, and ho has followed the example of the late com- missioner of the land office, William- son, who resigned to become the land commissioner of a government land grant railroad, having under certain conditions, title to mnearly 2,000,000 ucres of government lands. These even 8 are not without grave wsig- nigficance, 80 far as the interests of the government and the would-be homesteaders are concerned. Men who have had such opportunities in official position as those enjoyed by Marble aud Williamson have at their command, as agents of subsidized roads, resources and knowledge of how to manipulate things such as men who have never been in oftice can 1ot possess. This fully conftirms what Tnr Bee has so often charged concerning the baneful influence of corporate men- cpolies in the general land offico, while under the management of Gen, Williamson. In those days Mr. Mar- ble was acting as the leg Secretary Schurz, and in all probabil- ity he was very useful to the Northern Pacific in that position, and is now receiving his reward. al adviser of Tk mathematical editor of the New York Herald is offhis reckoning when ho makes the following statement: There are 224,000 Indians on reser- tions, and they cost the government eat deal more than 81,000 apieco [anuually, even when they behave themselves reasonably well. The actual cost of our Indian ser- vieo for the past year was $1,267,224, or less than 20 a head. On the ba- sis of the Herald’s figures, the ex- penses of the Indian bureau would amonnt to the extravagant sum of $224,000,000 annually, which is with- in 835,000,000 of the entire cost of our government for the past year. The Herald is better posted on Arctic explorations than it is on government statistics, Tux independent movement against the dictatorship of Don Cameron, which was begun by Charles 8.

He had been ill ten d. for twenty-four hours partly conscious, He 1 ves a widow, two sons George snd Samuel and threo daughters — Mrs. Gustav Wright, Mrs May, and Mrs. Williams, Mr. Law was one of those solf-tnade men of whom Dean Richmond and Com- modore Vauderbiit are other conspicu- ous examples. His parents were small farmers in Jackson, Washing- ton county, and in his_childhood he worked on the farm. In the winter he weut to the village school. At the agoe of eighteen years, with $40 in his pocket, he started out to muke his way in the world and went to Troy, which to his eye was even then a big city, where lhe procured work as a hod-carrier. For the next seven or eight years ho labored as a bricklayer, builder, and mason, let- ting no chance of self-mprovement escupe, and in 1832 ho was appointed, on account of his skill a3y a mason, superintendent in the construction of a lock and dam on the Lehigh Canal, near Easton, Penu. The moment the work was complcted he announced to the foreman his determination to be- come a contractor. “You will fail,” said the contractor. “You have neither the money or the iufluence to succeed.” T will try,” was the quiet aunswer, Hedid try and secured a contract to build a lock and aqueduct. He completed his contract, and with the money received from it found him- self with a cash capital of $2,800. He came at once to this city, went to the store of Marquand, who was then the great jeweller here, and bought a gold watch, for which he paid $300, and which he wore with pride until the day of his death. The following year Mr. Law, who was now 27 years old, and in moder- ately good circumstanics for a farmer's buy who had begun with nothing, was muarried to Miss Anderson of Phila- delphia. He continued to take small contracts on railroads and canals, and in 1834 he determined to tuke a vaca- tion. He had now a cash capital of $28,000, and he decided to go west, a great rush for that region having set i He weunt to Chicago, but was at- tacked by a fever and returned. He now paid a visit to his father at the old homestead. Ho found that the old gentleman had incressed his farm of 500 acres, but that it was heavily mortgaged and he was in danger of losing 1t. He paid off the mortgage and presented the farm unincumbered to his father. Before his vacation was over he secured a contract for build- ing a bridge over the Lehigh River at Kaston, Penn. When this was completed he ¢id a great amount of work on the Upper Division of the Lehigh Canal, between Mauch Chunk and White Haven. TIn these works he was en- gaged for severalyears, and from them he reaped a rich pecuniaty harvest., His reputation as a skilliul~ engineer spread all over the country, he had plenty of money at command, and if he bid for a contract he was pretty certamn to receiveit. In 1837 he came to this city and put in bids for thres sections of the Croton Aqueduct, securing two of them, and completing the work at a great profit to himself. Two years later ho hid for the con- struction of High Bridge, and although his competitors were 1wany and somo of them more wealthy than himself he secured the contract, completed in 1849, and with it ended Mr. Law’s career as a contractor, He was now worth millions, and be turned his attention to finances and railroads. The Dry Dock bank was at this time in a condition verging on insolvency. Georze Lw became. in- terested in the institution, was made its president, and svon reised it to a pusition of financial soundness, The stock of the Hariem railroad com- pany, the capital of which was $2,- 000,000, had become nearly worthles, selling as low as € per share. Mr. Law mvested largely in the stock, secured an extension «f the indebted- ness, bought iron to build it from Wil- liamburg to White Pluins, and ran the stock up to 875, when ho dizposed of his interest, moking another large fortune, Inthe sune way he man- aged the Mobawk rai'road, purchasing the stock at 827 and ruuning it up to &5 by judiciously con- oecting it with “the Utica road, During all these yeirs he had been largely interested in steamships, It was his steamer, the Falcon, which, in 1848, took the first passenger from ity to Califormi, when the gold excitement broke out. He established a regular line of steamers to Cali- fornia, which he sold at a great profit to a rival company. In 1851 he bought a large intere«: in the Panama Railroad Company, which he also suc- ceeded 1n sclling out when the stock had risen to a fictitious value. In the following year, 1852, Law_built the English Avenu. surface railroad, and was alarge cwncer in it at the time of his death. In 1853 he purchased the Staten Island vy for £6G0,000, selling it in 1804 at » large profit. He built the Niuth Avenuo Railroad, and was one of the prncipal owners of that road when he diod, and also of the Grand and Roosvelt street news papers for the 1omination of the knownothing pariy for president, but he did not receive 11, For the last twelve years he pass <t a life of practi- cvl retirement.

Clevelaud L ader, 'T'he little iron Monitor which de- stroyed the Merrimac in Hampton roads at the beginning of civil war, revolutionized naval srchitccture and made the name of its iuventor, Capt. John Ericsson, tamous all over the world. Tue Mouitor realiy beeamo the basis upon which Great Britain and the coutinental powers proceeded to construct their iron-clud fleets, Year after year they had goue on ex- perimenting with wuus and armor, until the apparent conclusion has been reached that the guus are more than a match for uny armor which can be placed upon a vess:l and permit it to float. Under such circumstances naval waifare is simply reduced tv an equality of swift destruction, While the nuval engincers and con- structors of Burope have been thus busy, reaping only unsatisfactory re- sults, the inventor of the Monitor comes forward with a new invention which, according to expert testimony, is again destived to revolutionizs the whole system of navul warfare The vew vessel, which is known as the “Destroyer,” recenily gave a public exhibition of its powers in the New York harbor under the supervision of Captain Ericsson. In brief, the vessel is described as cylindrical, capable of quickly moving “in _either dircction, swift of speed, aud of very light draught, The *‘Destroyer” is only one hundred and thirty feet in length, twelve feet ia its greatest breadth, and draws only eleven feet of water when almost wholly submerged. It is cffe- tively armored, but its principle of safoty is in being put under water so a8 to resist eneciny's shot, and pre- sent but the swallest mark for the battery practice of an opposing vessel. Its destructivenees cousists in_firing an explosive orpedo charged with three hundred aud fifty pounds of dynamite frcm a gun of force enough to penetrate the Leaviest armor that can be floated. The construction is such that the guu can be fired under water. An uautomatic valve pre- vents the adwission of wa- ter to the muzzie.
