THK New York Timu of Monday presented an exhaustive report of the report of trade in all the principle lines of business in New York city. It shows a healthy increase in sales at ganerally higher prices , a demand for better goods and little tendency to inflation of credit or overbuying.

ONE of the most freqeuont topics of conversation among delegates to the convention yesterday was the lament able want of hotel accommodations in the city. A large majority of the vis itors , attracted to Omaha by the con * rention , were ooliged to put up with hotel inconveniences which they char acterized in terms more forcible than complimentary. It is & dis grace and a shama to our city. There ii no town of its size in the West which is not doubly as well provided for in this respect. With evsry proposition to hold a large - meeting of any kind in our city , the hotel question.-immediately obtrudes itself. The State fair was about to move itself to Oonha , but people just ly recognized the fact that our accom modation for guests would be totally inadequate for such an influx as would most certainly attend on the occasion. Transient visitors are invariably informad before they reach our town of this state of affairs , and , in consequence quence , their patronage and often their permanent residence is lost. Com mercial travelers representing firms of wealth snd influence often give our city the go-by because they refuse to take the risk of being left out in" the oold for want of hotel accommoda tions. The lasting injury which this stale of affairs is working to Omaha cannot be too fully appreciated. The question cannot be eluded. It presses itself daily upon our atten tion. Will Omaha continue to shut her eyes to this great obstacle , which lie * a * a barrier to her progress ! Or will she opes , them only to find that Ike opportunity-has bsenneglected , " & "commerce hu .literally been JUDGE COBB.

' ' Thorndmraatfo'n'of Hon. frohn L. Carson , of Nemaha , and Hon. Joseph V V Gannett , ofthisTJity KB regents of tfio University meets our unqualified 'approbation' ' Both of'these gentlemen flra.erainentlyr qualified for the su pervision "of the hig'aeat educa- ti nal institution of this State. They possess executive ability of a high order and are known to be earnest friends of a higher education. Tilr. Caison is one of the ablest and most successful business men in South ern Nebraska , and Sir. Gannett's po- sitio'n as auditor-in-chief of the Union Pacific railway system is within itself a guarranty of his superior bus- ineis qualifications. Mr. Gannett has been a member of the University Board for four years , and it is to be honed he will utilize his experience in that body by putting his foot down more firmly and choke the interminable arid disgraceful iquabbla between members of the faculty and the Chan cellor. That was the overwhelming sentiment of the convention , and it is the sentiment of the tax-payers of this State. Tire decision of Judge OhoaU last Saturday , denying another of Mr. Tildon's countless technical objections , brings his famous income tax suit once again before the peopla. The history of this eau'e eelebre is remarkable both as exhibiting tha character of the roan and exposing what Mr. Field calls his "underhand methods of deal ing. " List April the cause was ready for trial but was postponed in order to afford the defendant op portunity to present a bill of particu lars. . Mr. Tilden in turn now asks the prosecution to exhibit their hand , and claims that a bill of particulars of the claim against him is necessary * and material for his defense. Judge Choate very promptly de nied this application , and reminds 3Ir. Tilden of his professed readiness to proceed with his case .last April , calling attention 10 the inconsistency oC. Hi * po tvLw94 > iti vhH k Mj&l.mini that a bill of particulars is necessary to enable him to make a defense. This suit was brought in 1877. The defendant answered that he had paid his taxes assessed without any return of income with the penalties reqairec in default of return. This was deem ed insufficient In every possible way Mr. Tilden impeded the taking of tes timony. Books containing materia' evidence for the prosecution were spir ited off by Sir. Tilden's counsel , anc now that he has failed to compel the government to show its hand and re veal exactly how strong or weak a case it has before going into court , he will doubtless-propose some further objec tion , evidently desiring anything buta trial of the case on its merits , not withstanding his pretended zeal when the government 'was not prepared to peoceed. In none of the contro versics in which ha has been so unfortunately engaged has the hero of "Cypher Alley" appeared to a worse advantage. His great object is not to give the public an opportunity to ac quit a man who flaunts so constantly in their faces his claims for the high est place within the nation's gift , but rather to delay the suit until after the nomination is made by the Democracy. If , in the face of his disreputable transactions , a blinded Democracy should foist him on the people ple as a candidate , and he should gain the object of his ambi tion , the remarkable sight would be presented of the President of the United States defendant in a law suit brought by the government of which bo himself is the head. EACH succeeding budget of news rom Europe indicates that the new alliance between Germany and Aus tria is as clearly anti-Russian as the movement of England upon Afghanis- .an. Germany holds Austria as a shield to Russia's scheme of Euro pean aggrandizement. Since the days of Peter the Great it has bean EUssia's ambition to disintegrate the Suropoan Slavonic provinces of Tur key , and ultimately to entirely aboliih them. Thus , thrusting her power be tween Austria and the Bosphorus , she would place both Turkey and Austria at the mercy of the Czar. The situa tion is still further complicated from the fact th t Austria is & combina- ion of helerogenous races , each , hos- ; ile to the other. Here lies her weakness. .Every at tempt at fusion has proved impracti cable , and to-day , Slav , Magyar , Ger man and Zech stand as far apart as Turks and Russians. It is for this reason that Austria finds herself in need of constant bolstering from other nations , and the nation which is most interested in preventing the ad vance of Russia towards the Danube and Adriatic is Germany. Therefore Jismarck sustains Austria by this alliance against a power which at once threatens the existence of tha Porte the British-Indian Empire , China and the empire of the Hapsbergs.

THE EETJBLIOAN PABTT AT THB _ _ Kew York Tunes. The projected organization of South ern Republicans , wijth the view of in- 1fltfeScTnj6f"'tho ' setion of the party in the. fetidential contest , is character istic and suggestive. People are weary of $ e discussion of a subject that will come IP practically enough , and will even tten be sufficiently nauseating before It is disposed of. It may suit professional politicians to attempt to get up a premature ferment as regards the" * candidate or the policy , or both ; but tha great body of voters care as little for these topics In the present state of affairs as for the traders and busybodies whose motives are at once sinister and palpable. This new move ment at Washington , however , differs a little from the schemes that were previously on foot. Stern critics may call the candor of its promoters impu dence , to be resented without cere mony. Milder natures will be amused at the conception of tha party's chief use which prevails amongs the persona concerned , and at their cool avowai of a readiness to resort to methods not reconcilable with a nice sense of the proprieties of political life. A certain kind of movement in the interest of the Republican party at the South might bo started with a proba bility of yielding substantial advant ages to Republicans resident there and to the party generally. The or iginators and managers should , how ever , be of the class entitled to re spect. They should not be office holders or expectants of office. They should be frea from the taint pro duced by connection with matters which contributed to the discredit and demoralization of the party in some portions of the South , and en tailed upon the party elsewhere a re sponsibility of. which it had good rea son to oa ashamed. In a word , they shonld be men who look upon party as something better than a contrivance for satisfying the ambition of its leidors or the greed of its agents , and whoso antecedents commend them to public confidence. And the declared objects of the move ment should be equally worthy "of re- spact The Southern Republicans proper the men of principle , we mean , as distinguished from the trad ers , the unselfish voters as distinguish ed from the jobbers and cheats have a case to lay before the country which the country would not refuse to hear. It is desirable for them to prevent misunderstanding as to their position , their wrongs and difficulties , the means that are available for the miti gation of both , and the course which m their judgment should be pursued to break down the Democratic despot ism and to secure political independ ence. Reproaches directed against measures that are irreversible are worse than idle. Demands for meas ures that are constitutionally impossi ble would be so much capital in the hands of the enemy. A well- considered effort to keep alive the elements of organization even where Democratic rule is absolute , is , Whether locally successful or not , it would acquire influence enough to make itself felt in the councils of the party and in its struggles elsewhere. Aid miy thus be rendered that will act on Northern opinion and on the national government It will not be possible for Mr. Hayes * successor to undo what Air. Hayes has done ; but it is possible to subject an adininistra tion to the pressure that will toll noon its treatment1 of Southern affairs. Di rectly or indirectly , a genuine organization - zation of Southern Republicans may in this way accomplish good. Its efforts would sustain its friends under difficulties , would insure for them at tention. and would produce an effecl at Washington which the cry of mer cenaries never can. None of these results will follow the working of an organization whose every feature suggests selfishness , whose spirit reminds us of influence : that are co more , and whose avowed desire to control the nomination ef a candidate that can be elected only by Northern votes is as gross an impert inence as can easily be imagined. The authors of the scheme do not dis guise their objects or their tactics. II is their intention to set machinery in motian in order that they may con trol the delegations nominally repre senting Southern Republicans in the National convention. So far as they are able to execute this purpose , the convention will have a "solid South , " acting in obedience to the orders of a set of machine politicians of the in ferior type. At present , the pretense is that no particular candidate is thought of ; but the public will incline to the belief that the whole affair-is in the'interest of one or another of the combinations that are at work. The moral standard of the movement may be estimated by a reference to the published 'expressions in f.ivor of "barter and trade , " if these be neces sary to carry a point Put into plain language , the plan is this : Cer tain persons who are in office and want to keep it , or being out office want to get in , or being hungry desire otherwise to be fed , propose to make Southern Republicanism ajneans of compelling the party to nominate for the presidency the candidaco who mostTfully complies with their de mands. What the North desires is to them a matter of indifference. The jolicy it sustains will be of no moment if it conflict with their interests. It mu t elect the President but these modest Southerners insist that they shall nominate him on a basis of the jargain that suits them best , and , noreover , shall dictate the policy of lis administration so far as the South s concerned. One of the objections to the Demo cratic party is that it is ruled by tbe occh. It might plead in extenua- ion that tha South supplies the votes it requires. The Southern Republi cans who contemplate the subjection of the Republican parly have not this excuse to offer. Unable to supply the rotes , they nevertheless assert a right a rule. We take the liberty of m brming them that their pretensions Are inadmissable. Where the votea are the power will be. and the power hat sustains the party will shape its > olioy. The fact does not imply for- ; etfulnesa of the party's interests at he South or of the just claims of hose who are there identified with its listory and work. Northern Repub- ibans are not indifferent observers of be course of events m the Southern States or lukewarm in their disposi tion to provide remedies for evils that are remediable , , and to bring into ex ercise the auxiliary agencies which Federal authority directs. If their mrposes are to be of any avail , the uccess of the party must not be en dangered by the assertion of claims oat cannot be recognized or by the ) arada of influences that would bring t into contempt. _ The Hills produced last year over $3,000,000 , and the year 1879 will doubla it NOTES. w r fT " ? * * ' * * Philadelphia is about to erect an elevated railway.

The Ohioago , Milwaukee * St Paul have decided to turn' line southwest across Iowa to tap the Pacific Roads at Kansas City. Fifteen General Managers of rail ways in this country have salaries of from $10,000 to $15,000 a year. The position of General Manager appears to be "a good position on the rail. " - New Wagner sleeping'cars are pro vided witn a jewel box built into the panels between the windows. They are provided with keys , and afford an opportunity for the safe-keeping of small articles of value. Only thirty-four miles of track re main to bo laid and two bridges to be built on the Cincinnati Southern rail road in order to complete the road to Chattanooga. It is expected that the work will bo accomplished by the middle of November. The annual report of the .Northern Pacific Railroad states that the con version of bonds up to the 17th inst. amounted to 930,207,100. There are outstanding of those bonds only $529,000. The business of the road , both local and through , is steadily in creasing. Pennsylvania railroads report a heavy decrease in net earnings as compared with last year. Reading shows a decline of § 76,000 for August , Pennsylvania Central increased ex penses enough to wipe out more than half the gain in the net during the preceding seven months. Illinois , projected a narrow-gauge road from Westfield to Olney , has , after many vicissitudes , been placed in charge of eastern capita lists. Subscriptions to the amount of about $4,000 per mile have been voted by townships along the survey ed route in aid of the enterprise. When completed , the road will be one hundred miles long. Experiments are being made in England with portable railways. They are constructed in sections , each of which is the length of tha rail , and is complete in itself , the rails and sleepers being rigidly fastened to gether. Each section has a joint- plate at the ends of tha rails , whieh can be easily and securely adjusted , in hying the track , to the joint-plates of tha next section. The reconstructed Eria is steadily extending its influence and connec tions. The controversy between Mr. Yanderbiltrespecting tha Boston and Albany , and the Erie , respecting the use of the Hoosac Tunnel for the Eastern extention of the Erie Road , has now been adjusted , and there will no further obstacle interposed to the opening of the Erie connections with Boston via the Albany and Susquehanna - hanna Road. The patent bolt for fastening fish- joints , which is the invention of a switchman in the yards of the Oin cinnati Southern road , promises to oome into general use. An Indianap olis manufactory is now making 80- 000 of them. This bolt does away with heads and nuts , the four bolts to each fish-joint being fastened by one iron wedge , which passes through a sloe in each bolt outside the fish-joint iron on both sides of the rail. The annual statement of the Pull man Palace-Car Company for the year onding'July 31 ; 1879 , haa just n * J its appearance. The revenue of the year from all sources was § 2,196,734 ; disbursements , including interest on bends and dividends on capital stock , § 1,850,411. The Company has 464 cars in in service ; their officers num ber fifty-two. The statement- shows their net loss by Charles Angell , in cluding capture , expenses and pay ments of rewards , to have been § 48- , 707.29.In dividends on capital stock the Company paid out $471,056 ; in terest on bonds , $165,890. The dealings in railroad shares on the 29th ult , was unprecedented in the history of the New York Stock Exchange. The sales on that day amounted to 469,100 shares. Tha principal rise was in Erie owing to tbe rnmor that the Erie trustees have ar ranged with Messrs. Gould and Sage to make the Erie the New York outlut of their Union Pacific Eansas-Wabash system. Many speculators , however , prefer to conjure with Mr. Vander- bill's name , and they report that the movement in Erie is the result of a contest between Gould and Vander- biltfor such representation in the Erie as will control the business of that road. The Central Pacific R. R. reports for the year 1878 , contains some in teresting figures. There is nothing new in the figures of the assets and indebtedness but the item of § 3,296- 259.72 for the sinking fund provided for by the Thurman bill , which the company resisted till the Supreme Court decided it constitutional , The company has 1,214 miles of trunk road , with turn-oute , telegraph depots , snow-sheds , etc. , all of which is esti mated at $134,650,527.80 , which gives the averageof § 110,914 per mile. Other assets stated raise the figures to § 187,505,04403 , against a stated com pany indebtedness of $82,772,902 97. The report says the business of the road has increased , but not as much as could be wished. The German Railroad Union , which Is the most thoroughly organized of railroad associations , for some years has given prizes for improvements and inventions which seemed to it of es pecial merit , but has generally , it is reported , given its prizes for inven tions which have never coma into use to any extent This year the first premium for an improvement in road construction was granted to A. W. de Serres , director of construction and of road for the Austrian State Railroad company , for an iron superstructure ( substitute for ties ) which , under the name of the Serres & Battig system , has found considerable favor in diffe rent countries of Europe of Lite years. The prize was about $1,800. A prize of $730 was given for a freight door lock. Corn aa a World-Feeder. Sn Tniidseo Chronicle. The extraordinary deficiency of the wheat crop this year in England and France , notwithstanding the reat surplus in the United States , which will measurably keep down the price of bread in the Old World , chouldfand will attract general attention to Indian corn as a cheap and excellent substi tute for wheat Indian corn , s native of America , has never been , extensive y naturalized and cultivated in Eu rope. In England it cannot be suc- sessfully grown , on account of the too cold climate. Corn requires warm summers , in the niglas well as the day. The Rhone region of France , Hires of Spain and Italy , and some ef , he Slavonic snd Turkish districts are adapted to it , but the people have not yet outgrown a prejudice against the ise of it as bread , probably because hey have not learned the art of cook ing it like Americans ; In the United States , corn , snd not wheat or ootton , is the staple agri cultural crop. We average say 375- XX,000 ) bushek of wheat per yearbut for the last five or six years tha ave rage corn cropihM exceeded 1.200- 000,000 bushel * ; and last Tear it ex- ! ceeded 1,300,000,000 generally conceded that a bushel of corn will go as far a * a bushel of wheat in the supply of bread for a family. If we had cheapltransportation for this article from the State * of the far West to ths Atlantic seaboard , corn could be delivered at English and Me diterranean ports at lass than one- half tbe average cost of wheat And the possible American surplus would be sufficient to meet the bread demands of all Europe ; , for 'there Is hardly1 * limit to our ability to enlarge upon this product Nearly every , corn State could be made -to yield twte * M much as it now does , and there are hundreds of millions of acre * of the best corn land , in Missouri , Arkansas , Kentucky , Indiana , Illinois , Kansas , Texas , Nebraska" , Iowa , Michigan and Southern "Wisconsin , not tomention , the Southern .States , that hare never been cultivated. When wheat is worth 95 cents to $1 a bushel at the western markets , corn is usually considered dear at 35 cents. It is the daily bread of more than three-fourths of tne 30,000,000 people who inhabit the States west of the Alleghany mountains and south of the Potomac. Not from necessity , but from choice. Those who under stand the art of preparing meal for bread prefer it to bread made of the best quality of wheat flour. It is as nutritive , more palatable , twice as cheap and more healthy. It has other advantages which will be more and more appreciated as the demand for American broadatufb in the old world and in our own rapidly growing great cities increase * . The average product of wheat to the acre in England is about 28 bushels. In the iJnited States about 10 or 12 bushnls leas. Probably 10 bushels to the acre would be up to the average in this country for the last 5 years. The average of corn to the acre in the beat corn States .if not less than 45 bushels ; in the worst not less than 30 ; in all the States not far from 40. Mil lions of acres of bottom lands along the Missouri , Mississippi , Ohio , White River , Arkansas , the Illinois , and other Western and Southwestern streams , have for more than a quarter of a century been cultivated every year in corn , tbe crops averaging from 80 to 100 bushels per acre. Oft-re peated successive crops of wheat or barley , rye or oais , exhaust the best soil and ruin it , whereas successive crops of corn lice the hemp crop , rather improve tfian damage the land. There are bottomi along the Little and Big Miami Riven , and the Ohio and Missouri , which Save been cultivated in corn every yea : for forty years and are now producing 80 bushels to the acre. acre.Vhon our inlind transportation shall have been increased and cheap ened by the construction of railways and the improvement of water facili ties sufficient for the shipment of all our corn surplus at paying rates to the producer , and when the common people and poor of Europe shall have learned the art of converting it into bread , as it has for ages been known to the people of the Western and Southern States , this greatest of all American staples will , become the bread of the world , because it will not cost more than half aa much as wheaten bread. And the American. supply will be only limlt 4 > by the { possible demand for it. The'qatat ° p J of its speedy use is one which esffi ' / ally ccmends itself to the manufactar- ing districts of England and'FnMce , where cheap bread is a desideratum every year growing in importaneex and they are beginning to comf ii- hend it , too , as is apparent from.the late rapid increase of our shipments . years _ nt American export diunot"amovnt to 10,000,000 bushels , but in 1878 the figures ban risen to 80,000,000 , and this year they will probably reach 100,000,000. Tbe CUy of Herat The City of Herat , which has sud denly become the scene of a formida ble Afghan revolt , seems fitted by nature to be important both in com merce and war. Its. central position at the junction of several leading commercial highway ? , within a day's journey of the famous caravan depot of Merv , 360 miles west of Cabul and 190 southeast of the great Persian emporium of Rlcahid , makes it a rec ognized market for the wares of India , Afghanistan , and China , on one hand , and those of Persia , Turkey , and Russia on the other. As a fortress , again'it is rendered formidable by tha strength of its walls and its command ing situation on a rocky pla teau two hundred and fifty feet above the sea , advantages which have more than once enabled it to defy the conquerors before whom all the rest of Afghanistan had fallen. The Per sians , who had long eyed it.covetous ly , appeared before it in great force in Nsvember , 1837. The siege , one of the most memorable in history , was protracted till the following Septem ber ; but , owing to the skill and brav ery of Lieut Eldred Pottingar , of the Bombay Artillery the JTasmyth of this new Silistria the besiegers were forced to retire with loss. A second attempt , in October , 1856 , proved more successful ; but the-success was a fatal one to Persia. The British government , regarding the capture of the place as an infraction of the treaty of 1858 , at once declared war , and the Shah , after repeated defeats , renounc ed all claim to Herat by the treaty of Teheran , April 14,1857. Its present population is about 50,000. Tbe Candidate- His mouth is most sweet ; yea , ha is altogether lovely. He taketh me by tha right hand ; while his left arm doth embrace me.
