A REVIEW of the labor market throughout the country published bj The Boston Jloruld ohows that tin cost of all necessaries of lifo has nd- ranccd 25 per cent daring the past year , and rents 20 per cent. Wages meantime have remained almost sta tionary. A. T. STKWAIIT & Go. are adrocatca of early closing. The Chicago branch and the Now York wholesale house Lave put up the shuttorir , and the ru- tail oBtablishmonta will BOOH follow auit. As a business wrecker , Judge Hilton is a success. farmers have planted pota toes extensively , owing to the high prices brought during the past winter. The scarcity of the potato crop was oo marked last that within twelve moths 4,500,000 bushels were im ported to this country from Qrcat Britain , Germany and Canada. SOUTHEHN plantations are rapidly disappearing , to give way to small and neil cultivated farms. In Virginia there are now 118,514 farms in the state , against 83,840 in 1870 , of which 83,531 are ocoupiod by their owners , 13,392 rented for money , and 21,591 on shares.

Ho lias just sold a coal mine near Lircdo , I Texan , to Jay Gould for $2,000,000 The property cost him $20.000 loss than tire months ago , Ir the extra session had cost twice aa much as it did , Nebraska would hare no cause for dissatisfaction. It is worth a considerable amount of money to the state to knnw the shys- tera and frauds who have exposed their hands in the late Lincoln me- nagorir , and the voters ot Nebraska will profit from the experience. TUB printed report of the house in vestigating committee concerning charges of bribery , and ccrruptiou against the members of the house affords ample proof that the abort- hand reporter employed by the committee - mitteo U either incompetent or hai been tampered with by the clique im plicated in the bribery charges. Much of the report has been grossly garbled to smother the facts drawn out dtir- ing the investigation , but the work is oo clumsily done that anybody who was present and heard the testimony cannot fail to detect the imposition. TUB pronounced success of the Burns bill in the senate must bo regarded - ; gardod as due in no small measure to the decisive action of the house , un der the leadership ot Hours. Slocumb , Howe and Wyndham. The prompt passage of the bill tn the house was the result of no small degree of superior , - ior parliamentary tactics , under the leadership of Mr. Church Howe , and to that gentlemen the gratifying result Is to bo largely credited.

The outcome of the invcstigatio : into the charge contained in the affl davit of J. C. Hobburts , chairman c the liouto railroad committee is jut what might have boon cxpcotvd , 15 adopting the majority ropott of th comtnittco appointed at the instanc of Mr. O rns , the senate lias fttullifio itself , and sot an example that mui wo ikon public confidence in the in tcgrity of our legislative bodio : Kvory tnomborof the senate that vote to whitewash Cams was aware of th fact that Mr. Gams had disgraced th lii h office ho occupies when ho a ! lowed himself to become the bcare of corrupt proposals to the attoi noys and officers of a railroa corporation. Discard if you pluas the entire testimony of Ilobbtrts thn charges Cams with making corrup proposals to him on behalf of the rail road and assume that Cams truthful ! ; testified to the exact state of facts , am Mr. Cams stands self convictca as at accessory to ono of the greatest crime : of which a public ofllcer can bo guilty When Cams was on the witness stand ho admitted that ho had consented tt go to Mr. Thurston the attorney ol the Union Pacific railroad , with a de mand from Ilobborta for a largo autr of money as a consideration for hii vote and influence in preventing rail' road legislation. Ou his direct ex amination Mr. Oarna testified as fol lows ; Question. What load you to believe that Thurston was the proper man for himRobberU ) to Bee ? Answer. Because Thuraton was the attorney for tno Union Pacific rail road , and ho certainly would know about these matters. Q. If anybody else had made a sim ilar proposition would you have re ferred him to John M. Thurstonf A , Yes , sir. Q. You were friendly towards the railroads ? A. I was friendly towards the rail roads in BO _ far that I did not wnnt them injured in uny way. Q. Any knowledge that you might have possessed at any time about it that you considered would bo detri mental to the railroad interests , you would have communicated to Mr. Thurftton , would yon not ? A. I don't know us I would have told Thunton anything that was told mo in confidence. Q. Anything that you know was go ing to hurt , or you considered un friendly to railroad interests , you would have counnuiiijatud to Thur- stou , it you knew lie did not know H ? A. Yea , sir ; I would rather use the word unfair than unfriendly ? Q Will you ttito all the conversa tion that look place between yourself md Thursioit in regard to this matter md trhoro it was ? A. It was in Mr. Thureton'a room. My recollection U that I told him that I had received a [ iroposition this evening from n man 2ouuucted with the railroad committee that might surprise him. It surprised no some and 1 thought ho ought to tnow it. I simply communicated thia , o him. I thought ho ought to know t and ho could act us ho chose. Now could any h ono it man pro- louuce Cams blunioleta in the faoa of us own tostimonj ? Suppose Mr. Dhurston had chosen to comply with ho alleged demand of a biibo madu > y Ourns on behalf of Rcbberlu , would lot Cams huvo become a party to the iriberj ? Had ho not on his own ad- mieeion been acting the traitor to the public intercut by being in collusion ivith the railroads in the effort to pro- rent legislation which tno constitution iio had sworn to support required the legislature to enact ? The constitution Df Nebraska expressly itnpoaod the luly on the legislature to en- * ct 'laws to prohibit unjust dia- sritnination , extortion and abases , railroad companiei , and when the legislature sought to enact those laws , Darns made himself the tool and cap per for the monopolies. Ho was in illusion with Thurstun-to obalraot egislation , and prevent , if possible , .ho enactment of the very laws which ivore demanded by the people , and wmmandod by the supreme law of the and. and.But But the people of this state cannot bo made to bollovo that Mr. Cams -old the whole truth on the witness stand in this case. Ilo had concealed the knowledge of the faotH , and shielded ( ho man whom ho charges with a grave crime until the publica tion of the Ilobbortfl affidavit com pelled him to enter upon a defense of ills on n conduct. Ho bad shown on , ho witness stand that ho wai n volun- ; ary co-laborer with the railroad - road lobby that sought by fair noans or foul means to thwart ; ho will of the people. In it precnm- iblo that ho would hesitate to add to , ho crimes ho was guilty of that of icrjuty to shield himself ? View his position from any direction and every mbiasod person mubt conclude that llr. Cams was seriously compromised. Hie committee that investigated was Appointed by acting president Dim- nore , but iU make up was doubtless mggostodby Cams. The report of .he majqrity which the aouato adopt- id exonerates Mr. Cams , but the : iigh court of public opinion , which jannot bo influenced by railroad pres sure , has already pronounced Mr. Darns guilty of the graves offense which a presiding officer of a legisla tive body could commit. Whatever may bo thought of the conduct of Mr. Ilobbertn or the native that impelled him to make the iffidavit against Cams , the verdict of the people condemns Mr. Carui pi a man who has betrayed a high public trust , and relegates him for ever to irivate life , STUBBORN FACTS.

Twenty- three nro illiterate nnd 232 can read nnd write , while fifteen can read bul oanuot write. The obovo exhibit knocks on the head almost every theory which forme the stock in trade of the visionary reFormers - Formers who point to our peniten- .iarioa as the text for their impractical ichomcs. B ginning with John B. tinch , nnd ending with Mrs. Colby , ho champion of female suffrage , wo mvo time and again boon told that gnorant foreigners , disbelievers in the ; ospolfcnnd intemperate people , make ip nino-tonths of the convicts in lur penitentiaries. These assump- ions are flatly contradicted by the tatiatics of the Nebraska poniton- iary. Hero we find that out of 270 ouviohi only 48 are of foreign birtb , ho remaining 222 being native Amor- 3ans. Compared with the aggregate Copulation of the state , that would how the conviota of foreign birth con- idorably below the average ratio of oroign citizenship. Again wo are told that low-bred nd ignorant mon are largely in the aajority in our penitentiaries , whero- a wp find that out of 270 convicts 32 can read and write , 15 can road , nd only 23 can neither road nor rrito. Temperance is claimed to bo an ab > elute preventive of crime , but wo Ind right hero that out of 270 only 17 wore intemperate , 137 rnodoratojiu heir habit , and 48 absolute abstain * to. Religion , or rather the profes- ion thereof , does not acera to keep eoplo in the straight nnd rugged ath of virtue , for wo find hero that lore than ouo-half of the entire umber of convicts were church mem- era. era.Facts Facts nro stubborn things , nnd the lets that are gathered from thu bovo exhibit show conclusively thiit ice and crime nro bred alike among 10 pious nnd among those who disbo- eve , amo'itf these who nro born on .mericin soil and these who are born i foreign lands.

In this country the abund- nco and cheapness tof fuel have not mdo it necessary to utilize the onor- IOUB quantities of coal dust that ao- umulato at the mines. In Franco his dust is now extensively used in ho form of patent fuel or bricks. Ir. Giffrrd , United States consul gent at Nantes , Bays in the April ro ort to the atato department that the atural supply in the yards of the oal merchants in France is inaufll- iont , and that the manufacturers im ort a largo part of their dust from lardiff , Swansea and Newport. The recess of manufacture is very implo , the coal dust being mixed ith pitch , a substance obtained from .ml tar and the mixture poured into Jjw attached to a bolt , each cup con fining juit enough material for a rick of the size desired. In its move- tout the bolt passes this material irough a chamber , where it is ox- ised to hot steam which fuses the two ibstanoea into ono mass. This is aurcd by tie descent of the belt into loulds , where it is subjected to an lormous pressure by a hydraulic ress. The total cost of this fuel is i 75 a ton. It U claimed that the briquettes" are bettor than ordinary ml for exportation on account of leir compact stowage and freedom om dust ; also for use on locomotives a account of economy of space , and ecausa firemen can always determine 10 amount of fuel they employ in a iven time , the exact weight of each rick being known. There is a do- nd for coal in Franco too , from the 'ulted States , to be used in the iinufacturo of thia fuel , REDUCING THE REVENUE Immediately after the disposal c the contested election cases , it is b < liovod that the house of represents lives will take up the bill for the n duction of internal revenue taxci which has been prepared by the committee mitteo of wajs nnd moans with th ndvico and co-operation of Commit eioncr Raum. This measure is muc moro moderate than the ono whicl was sat down upon by the republic caucus. The original propositiei contemplated n heavy reduction 01 the main tobacco and whisky ta : amounting to about $12,000,000 01 the former and $28,000,000 on th lattor. This great decrease ii the internal revenue was atronc ) ; urged by the extreme protectionist in the hope of heading off any movement mont for extensive cutting in the tar iff rates. The present internal rovonu bill provides for a reduction of taxe amounting in the aggregate to abou $24,000,000. Of this amount near ) ; $7,000,000 , taking last year's colleo lions as a baiif , will bo taken off b ; repealing the taxes on bank capita and deposit. , bank chcckc , matcho and proprietary medicines. Undo : the provisions of the bill an additiona reduction of $3,750,000 will bo causei by taking off nearly GO per cent of thi special taxes paid by liquor dealeri and tobacco manufacturers. The ta : onliquor dealers is to bo reduced fron $25 to $12 , and that on dealers it manufactured to tobacco from $5 t ( $2.40. An additional $3,000,000 wil bo caused by a lightening of the tai on cigars from $ G to $5 a thousand. The noocaaily of cutting down oui ouormous surplus revenue is appar ont. No other country in the world would willingly submit to the out ragcoua taxation which the people oi the Unilod Steles endure for the pur pose of piling up each year in the vaults of the treasury department t surplus of $100,000,000 above the cosl of running the government. These baxes upon the people are collected bj the indirect method of a protective tariff , and the war taxes of the inter nal revenue department. Both ore Bxcossivo. In truth there is crying need of reform. The tariff commis- lion is the reply which congress hae nado for the demand for a reduction n custom duties , and the internal rev- 3nuo bill is the answer to the request 'or a lopping off of taxes imposed in ; ho first instance as a war necessity md retained long after there was any : all for their continuance. Ono of the worst features of1 this ixcessive taxation , and the larga sur plus revenues which it creates is the 'act that national extravagance is fos- ; erod and encouraged. Just as long is there is a largo surplus constantly looumutating in the treasury there will 30 a tendency to transfusion in pub ic expenditures and high handed job- ) ery in the capital. The internal ovouuo bill is a step in the right di- ection which must bo followed by a udicious adjustment oi our present mstom duties. Till : Philadelphia Record calls upon ho city authorities to remedy theresa ; rosa injustice of inequality in the natter of assessments. It cccms that Philadelphia is suffering in a less dc- ; reo from the name condition of af- uirs aa that which disgraces Omaha in icr property valuation. The Record ays : There is an injustice in the inequal- ty of assessments on city properties hat is Bcandaloua both in the manner if it and the mattoi of it. Properties n the outlying wards are assessed at aero than actual selling prices , whilst troportios in the heart of the city are .ssossod at b rate of undervaluation hat boars no semblance of proportion o real value. For a property on Jhettnut street , assessed at $10,000 )80,000 ) has boon offered and refused rithin a few days. The loss in taxes 0 the city of Philadelphia in this one 3so is at least $1,000 per annum. The rholo system of assessment needs ovision. If valuations were prop- rly equalized and adjusted , as the nx rate now stands , there would bo lenty of money realized to make all coded improvements , to pay the in- ercst on outstanding indebtedness , nd to makn necessary provision for maturing bands , But wo are con- tantly straining at gnats and swal- ) wing cainola. A man of moderate leans , with a three or a five-thou- iind-dollur house , payii taxes on at mil 75 per of its value , while invos- Jrj in property oantrally situated get Q' with taxes assessed on a valuation f 20 or 25 pur cent. This is an out- igoous perversion of the taxing power 1 well of very bad policy. There can a no worse mistake in municipal lanagement than to overburden ao- vo industry by discouraging and dis- riminating against the owners of nail > holdings. They are the very vos of the city.

But ho nt end to his business , loaves politic to the dogs , and ia rrspocto by his associates. Ou his right oldest in commission of any ono 01 the bench is Justice Miller , round am fat , and sixty-four , a liUlo bald am closely shaven face. On the bench h is as cross ns a hatchet , for ho hate circumlocution nnd shams ( and hal the bar is made of them ) ; but off th bench ho is as jolly and kind am gentle as any man ever saw.

Justice tico Harlan , fourth in rank ( except ing , of course , the chief justice ) , is t specimen Kentuokian a giant in hif way. Big body , bi < ; head , big hands , big feet , long legs , long arms , and long headed , without n doubt. He it at least six feet six inches in hight. He rents a furnished huuso from a friend of inino , and my friend had t < j have made , especially for the great Keutuckian , a nine-foot bedstead , with mattresses , blankets , shoots , etc. , to correspond , nnd also ono for the son of the judge , who is as tall , Judge Harlan was a strong acquisition to the bench , nnd is popular on the bench nnd off. Chow tobacco , did you saj ? Well , I should think so , and ho knows a glas of Bourbnn when ho tastes it. There is not inuoli known of Justice Woods. Ho is u grizzly , slouching man , whosa personal bearing and appearance are not at all striking. He is a jud ' o by appoint ment , but ho doesn't 'look like one. Justice Stanley Matthews ia built on i big model , physically and mentally. As an intellectual foica ho scarsely lias n superior on the bench. Ho is juiot in his intcicourae , and does not mem to care to extend lusacqiint- Mice. Justice Gray is a tall , white- ! iaired , peppery old bachelor , who maps up everybody , nnd had rather Barrel than win a cause. When ho irst camp on the bench here ho was nearly killed with heavy eating nnd Irinking , buk that time is over. As -ho old judges are very tenacious ns to : ho richts of seniors , ho is not likely , o bo popular Justice Blatchford , ; ho last appointment , looks like your > wn George \V. Child" , and is , thore- bro , clean , genial , affable , well-dressed md kindly natured else looks do not ount.
