t .According to the latest official
data the debt of tho District of Col
Bfn'Mii now approximates twenty
million dollars. In view of the fact
that the National Treasury has con
tributed very largely to all the pub
lic improvements in the District we
can form some Idea how much of
.tsM twenty millions went into the
, capacious pockets of corrupt officials
- aad their allies, the rascally con
tractors. By the amended postal act
Omaha, Des Moines, Davenport,
Keokuk', Dubuque, .Leavenworth,
St Joseph, and other Western
cities that cannot muster 30,000 in
habitants, will be deprived of the
Metropolitan luxury of tho free de
'llvery system. This change will of
coarse curtail tho carreer of the
liveried letter carrier, but it will
also force an increase in the clerical
force in the respective postoffices.
According to the Chicago Tri

has fallen back upon this arrange

Rochefobt did .not meet with a
very cordial reception on landing
upon Brittishsoil. According to our
cable dispatches from Queenstown,
he had a very narrow escape from
lynching at the hands of a crowd
of roughs, who, anticipating his ar
rival, had congregated on the
wharf. This turbulent demonstra
tion was probably gotten up by
some of the Bonapartist sympathi
7ers who are quite numerous in the
various cities of Ireland.
A bill defining the qualifications
of Territorial Representatives in
Congress, passed the House Tues
day. The principal feature of this
act is the provision disqualifying all
persons guilty of bigamy or poliga

course was mainly In tended to cover
the Utah case, but, inasmuch as the
last clause of the act exempts sitting
delegates from the operation of the
law, the Mormon Apostle Cannon
will still retain his seat until Ills
present term of office expires. This
is a commentary on Congressional
consistency. m Cannon has openly
confessed that he has been, and Is,
a polygamist. He is, therefore, liv

Herald is lavishing its aooumuktesV
stock of choicest billingsgate upon
this model public servant of Platte
county. He is denounced as a cor
rupt legislator, and unreliable offi
cer, and last but not least, as a po
litical renegade. Tho cause of this
remarkable change seems to be Mr.
Hudson's refusal to endorse the
Greeley departure in 1872, and his
action in connection with the con
test for the clerkship of Platte ooun.
ty. Now the Bee has no inclina
tion to Interfere in a purely local
affair, but when the Herald reminds
Mr. Hudson that ho owps his bread
and breath for years to the Demo
crats of Platte oounty, we would re
spectfully remind tho Herald that,
according to Its own repeated dec
larations, no man in Nebraska ever
earned his official bread more cred

he was in office.
POLITICAL NOTES.
Senator-elect Eaten of Connecti
cut has resigned his seat In the State
Legislature.
Governor Allen fills the inflation
Democracy of Ohio with sorrow by
warmly indorsing the President's
financial "memorandum."
Congressman A. It. Colton of the
2d Iowa district is in trouble. He
desires a re-election, but tho ma
jority of his constituents seem to
think he needs rest.
Tho St. Joseph Gazette, which is
good Democratic authority, an
nounces Senator Thurman as the
coming man for the Presidency.
The leading journals r Illinois
and Indiana do not appear to be
very much impressed with the work
of the Independent or farmers' con
ventions which were recently held
in those States.
The only Republican journal of
standing in the State which openly
opposes the renomination of Gov.
Dix is the Albany Express. Its
preferences are manifestly for the
Hon. A. B. Cornell.
The Illinois Staats Zeltung thinks
that the only contingencj' by which
a third term for Gen. Grant is pos
sible, would exist if he would be, In
1876, the representative of specie
payments and the national honor as
opposed to inflation and repudiation.
In such an event, the Zeltung thinks
that even Carl Schurz would bo
compelled to support him.
Tho Indianapolis Sentinel de
nounces tho platform of Its "new
party" as a mess of "gibbering fus
tian," and an "affront to civiliza
tion." This is the worst year for
new parties we ever saw.
The tlii d section of the second
article of the constitution should be

conflict Hie most important
lesson ot the struggle,'he thought,
was the almightiness of truth.
Another lesson was the duty of still
further extending the right of suf

periment of negro suffrage had not
been a remarkable success, but the
trial had only been partial and un
der the most unpromising circum
stances, and would finally succeed.
Republicans of Iowa are discuss
ing the financial question, and try
ing to decide how to treat it in their
State Convention, which, meets on
Julv 1. Of course there is a great
diver itv of opinion. TheBurllng
ton 1 law k Eye, which has a faculty
of ndking sound sense on a good
many subjects, goes straight to the
bottom of tho question when It says
that there is really no need for any
discussion on the subject It recalls
the action "of the 8t-te and Na
tional Republican Conventions in
1872, declaring in favor of a speedy
resumption of specie payment, and
asks if thero Is any reason to sup
pise that they have changed their
minds. "If .not," it continues,
"will some of tho wise advocates of
inflation explain to as -how we are
to reach a speedy, resumption of
specie. payments by an expansion of
the currency of the country. The
Republican party can much better
afford to dlea decent death, fulfill
ing its pledges and promises, if die
it must, than it can to give up the
ghost by attempting the suicidal
exploit of upending its own record
and trying to make it something it
Is not."

In a letter to the Rochester Denie

cross-ways of the river and drift
down with the tide until it changes.
For the last three years shad are a
good drift; they are nearly all sold to
dealers anil when there comes a glut
dealers cut the price down on fisher
men, and keep the price up on the
country dealer. There have been a
few days In each year for the last
three years that shad have 'been
sold for $5 per hundred, andjno one
got the benefit of the increase ex
cept the people who lived near the
river and the dealers. And that is
not all. The dealers along tho riv
ers buy the fish and sell all they can
at retail. They are spread on their
tables anil the shad are picked until
their sale is over, and I never
knew a man to take a
small one If he could get a large
one for the same price. Then' he
fills his orders and sends his culls to
the country dealer, and he gets
them one day longer out of water
than lie ought to. I have under

shad, what they have never had
before. I go to the fishermen and
buy the shad. They are sold

are as fresh as the freshest shad
sold in the Albany market I have
been obliged to do this' to give the
people living away from the river,
that helped pay for it, the benefit of
it, and teach the dealers how to give
the people a cheap, fresh shad. 1
can make the same difference with
white fish in the great lakes, when
the Canadian government will join

I have had shad in the Hudson and

THE GROWING CROPS.
Favorable Report from all Sec
tions or tie Country.
The crop prospects in the Middle
States west to include Ohio are
good for wheat, with local excep
tion:). Spring grains of all kinds
look well on the ground. Corn
planting is pretty nearly or quite
completed, and but little .replant
ing has been done, the early plant
ed coming' up and doing well,'
Grass as a rule is reported excep
tionally good as compared,with the
promise at the same date the past
two seasons. Potatoes are receiving
the attention of the Colorado
potato bcotls in Ohio, Western
Peusylvania, -New York,- and its
appearance as far east as New Jer
sey and Massachusetts has been
noted. To what extent it will af
fect the crop it is impossible to pre
dict, but inexperience in the modes
of destruction which have been ap
plied successfully in the west and
the neglect of hand-picking, by
which means it has been successful
ly fought on some farms, may well
cause apprehension for the safety of
the crop.
In New England it Is too soon to
determine what the small grain crop
will De. anu u is or not mucn im-
for the percentage of this class of
products grown there is small. It
is gratifying to note, however, how
uniformly favorable are the -reports
concerning the grass crop. Fruit, as
in the Middle States, promises to be
abundant.' The more northern of the
Southern States give us good reports
of the wheat crop, which will soon
be ready for the -harvest. The re
