TnR two great agricultural products were discovered, according to the re ceived opinion, with the discovery of America corn and tobacco.

Thtre is, in their opln'oo, co cause for imagining that there will ever be any failure of results. In Paris France, the young Duke of Orleans, who is the heir ot the Bourbons and claims to be king of France, was tried for violating the expulsion law which forbids any claimants to the French throue from entering France, and on Wednesday was conricted and sentenced to two years imprisonment. He will not be formally committed to rrlson for a few weeks yet in order that he may have an opportunity to appeal his case. There appears to be Republicans In the House who can see beyond Speaker Reed's term of cCke, and who realize that the temporary advantage which may be gained by bis unprecedented rulings will be more than offset by the disaster and defect whieh is almost Certain to follow. As a consequence there is mutiny in the ranks of the lender majority which just now Is giv ing tLe Speaker more trouble than the so called Democratic obstructionists. The great right Is coming, however, ever the rules, and, as compared with what is In prospeet, the contest of the last week is a little more than a prelim inary skirmish. A vaoazixe rifl is to be served out to the English volunteer force. This, observes the Philadelphia rrts.t, leaves oar army and National Guard the only troops belonging to any civi!iz-d power which are unprovided with a magazine gnn and still cm the antlqna'ed breechloaderto-day aa far behind the times as the muzzle-loader was once behind It. France uses a gun with nine charges, Austria one with five, Italy with twelve and Germany one match ing the rest. Russia is still experi menting and so Is Turkey. Everyone of these powers his adopted a smokeless powder and a bullet about one-third the weight of the one still used by our army, with Its an'.iqnated ideas. The manufacturing capitalists of Massachusetts and all 2ew England, aays the New York Hrrall, had free raw material offered them In Novem ber, aud they rejected the effer with contempt. That is only fifteen months ago. There cannot have rune about in so abort a time so great a charge, each a revolution ia their in dustries, as they now pretend. But If we should be mistaken If Mr. Mom and the other New England capitalists are really suffering they need only to have patience until next November. A new Congresa will then be voted for, and they can vote for, the Democratic candidates, all of whom will be pub'.lc ly and solidly pledged for fee raw materia?. Tue Washington Fort, a Republican paper, in speaking of the new rales re ported for the government of Congreee ty the republican says : "There is one thing about it : if rule of the House are adopted ia the shape report ed by the majority of the Committee. aa they probably will be, the responsi bility of these rales, for good or evil. must rest with the Republicans. If they oven the way to the easier passage of extravagant or meretricious legisla tion or are fonnd to operate unjustly to the rights of the mioority or of indi vidual members, by shotting off meri torious motions and restricting legiti mate discussion, it will be the fault of the Democrats if they don't make good use ot their opportunities and tarn the situation to their own political account. The Kepablicrjjs make the issue. All that the Democrats can do is to meet It courageously, and tbey onght to meet it uncomplainingly. If the Republican side of the chamber shall commit Itself to a serious blander thereby, Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Crisp and his associates should remember that It is a long lane which hasno taming, and it is not a long lane from one Congressional elec tion to another. Ix be SenUe at Washington on Tuesday Senator II oar Introduced a bill to prescribe, in part, the manner of the election of members of Congress, and it was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. It provides that in all States of the Union the re presentatives to Congress shall be elect ed in and for the districts now pre. scribed by law, until the apportionment of representatives shall be made by Congress according t the census to be taken in 1S90, any law of such State hereafter to be passed to the contrary notwithstanding. The bill is evidently for the object of preventing the re districting of Ohio and shows plainly the s" rails to which the Republican party is at last reduced and the devices to which it will resort to In its boar of need. The bill will be passed with the sole object in.view of preventing a just and proper apportionment of the State of Ohio that would give the Democratic party justice. It will be a question however, for the Courts to decide. whether the bill is constitutional or not. We would not be surprised to hear that Messrs, F. II. Barker, of Ebens burg, and George T. Swank, of Johns town, delegates elect to the next Re publican State Convention and in structed to vote for George VT. Dla mater, as the choice of Cambria county for Governor, would resign after wit nesslng the grand ovation to General Hastings, at Johnstown, on Saturday last. Both the gentlemen no douU have a high regard .for the wishes of tha people and In view of the faet that but fony one votes were cast in Johns town at the time of tbe delegate eleo Hon and that fully three thousand en tbutiastie people vied with each other to do General Hastings honor as hi reception, It would seem that the In structions are sadly out of joint with the wishes of the people. Better for Messrs Btrker and Swank to resign call a new convention and let the wldb8 of a majority of tbn voters in the Republican party b- obeyed. The O!ilo Stale Journal, a thorough Republican paper, in commenting on the methods adopted In Congress by Speaker Reed, for suppressing all rights of ihe minority, calls a halt in the fol lowiug manner : "It may be ques tioned.. ' says the Jntmal. "if the new code of rules adopted by the Republi can canens does not go a little too far in the way of rendering the minority altogether powerless to delay proceed legs upon a measure. The minority has rights, and they are jast as sacred and jnst as the rights of the majority. It ia of vast importance to the peop'e that legislation iu this coontrv, and especially partisan legislation, shall not be hasty ; the right of a minority to secure a reasonable dIay in reference to such legislation, or, indeed, in refer ence to any other, cannot safely be abtiged. The Democrats says the Boston Her ald, stand well with the country now, as regards their course in the present Congress. They are sustained by all the precedents of practice there. In cluding those of the entire line of Re publican Speakers. Their coarse Is conservative, and it is in the interest of sound legislation. The Republicans have not only substituted the unau thorized authority of one nan for the power that both precedent and patriot ism gives only to the majority ef the people's representatives, they have opened the door for no end of corrupt schemes and selfish legislation Ly their act. It must almos'. Inevitably com in, and the Democrats, if they contin ue to be wte, will have an immense advantage in folly fixiag the responsi bility for it on the other party. Pkemdent Harrison on Monday signed the proclamation opvutng the Sioux reservation of ll.OOO.OuO acres in South Dtkota. Recently a number of people attempted to s'ake out claims In the new terri.ory, but were prompt ly driven back aeroaa the Missouri, so that the country, u&like Oklahoma, is free from adventurous boomers. Be sides this, the land will be subject to entry under the Homestead laws, and a payment of 11,25 per acre as well as an actual residence of five years, ex cept in the case of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, who are required to obtain a pateor. The region is said to be healthy and fertile, and will soon add to Ihe agricultural wealth of the country. Altoona people are feeling jubilant over the prospective vlau ot President Harrison to their city on a hunting trip. Several hundred hogs that es caped from a freight train on Saturday are running wild ia the woods, near Kiltanulng Point, and as lbs hog, dur ing this Administration, is the royal game, the Altoona people are watching every train confidently expectiog Presi dent Harrison, with his little gun to put, in an appearance. A bald eagle, whose wings were 10 feet acrors, was shot near Louisiana, Mo., by Absalom Davis the other day. The Tan-American Fiasco. It is something more than five months since oar guests from Central and South America arrived in the country, ana some of them are becoming quite anxi ous to bring the Coagress to a close. That they should have grown weary ot deliberations that can end in nothing, either wise or foolish, is quite natural. Since the Pan-American Congress as sembled public interest in its proceed ings has daily declined, until at last a great project, of whieh such high hopes had been entertained, baa come u oe regarded as a complete fiasco. Daring their long eolarn ia the country the Pan-Americans have visit ed its great industrial and commercial centres, and have seen bqucd mat nas commanded their admiration and won der. It is probable that by n means the least cause of their wonder is the fact that a Xatloa so enterprising and progressive, and possessing a land so richly endowed by natnre, should have adopted a policy of commercial jealoasy and Isolation toward tne rest or ice world. While considering this faet, our guest a eoald scarcely be so impressiona ble as to be deceived by one pnrases and glittering generalities about draw ing more closely the bonds ef cooamer cial intercourse among the nations of the Western Hemisphere. They recog nize that under the existing tariff poli cy of this country there could be no serious question, of establishing with Central and Jsoutn America more inti mate relations of trade. In the entertainments, public and private, to which the Pan-Americans have teen invitee they have beard glow ing accounts of the magic influence of subsidity as a means of cultivating in timate relations with their countries. But the subsidy jobbery, out of which a few steamship owners and a hungry Washington lobby may draw enormous plunder, has no attractions for them. They could not. of course, object to ny expenditure this Government might choose to make ia steamship bountiee, but tbey would scarcely recommend such a profligate scheme to the people whom they represent. It is not the Pan-American congress, but the Conzress of the United States. upon whom should devolve the task of promoting mutually advantageous com mercial intercourse with oar Southern neighbors. The first s'ep to this end would be to admit free of duty the pro ducts which Central and South America have in snch abundance, and which are so necesary to the people of this country. For this purpose no negotia tions and no reciprocity treaties would be required. Nothing more would be needed than a few lines ol an act ot Congress. But since the Pan American a e le gates have been in Washington they have seen for themselves how hopeless is the proepeet for this sort of legisIa- tion. Tbey witnessed the crowds o? tariff beneficiaries before the Commit tee en Ways and Means pleading for increased duties on nearly all articles of impart. They know that the Chair man of that committee is the author of the high tariff platform of 18S3. and that a majority in Congress, aa well as the Administration, are fully com mitted to that policy. It is not strange that their delegates from Spanish America should have grown weary of their mission and should now desire to return home. No matter what illusions tbey may have indulged in concerning the otjacts of their visits, thsy cow recognize that the Pan-Amaricaa Congress is a aad failure. rttila. Jitcord.

The total reduction of the det)t for the 20 years of Republi can administration, ending with Presis dent Arthur's term, it appears from the table, was f 1.350,071,925. or an average of f;7,503,59G yearly.

The imposing and enthusiastic recep tion given General Hastings and his wife by the people of Johnstown and vicinity on Saturday evening was a most memorable occasion. There was a spontaneity and heartiness in the the welcome extended to the General that must have made him feel that gratitude is after all one of the well maintaiued attributes of the American people. Many thousands of men, women and children gratefully grasped bis hand and thanked him for bis patient and heroic devotion to the stricken valley in its sweep ot desolation and death and a paper was formally presented to him, signed by 12,000 citizens of tbe city aud county, recording tteir profound appre ciation of his service.. Political machines may steal politi cal delegates from Geueral naaiings in Cambria county and even la Johns town ; but the voluntary demonstration of the people made on Saturday even ing piovea what a mockery of public sentiment are the achievements ot party machines, awd if tbe Cambria delegates respected the uamiatakabie wiahts of the pecp'e they are to represent, they would promptly declare their purpose to vote for General Hasii&gs for Gov ernor. Every other county in the State might offer good or at least plaus ible excuse for not supporting General Hastings, but tbe Camorla delegation can't vote against him without provok ing public reprobation at borne and public contempt abroad.

' Licensed Gambling in orU Dakota. There is every reason to believe the Republican National Committee in tbe nm dential camnalzB had dealings w th the Louisiana lottery and received a liberal contribution, .waaiey is tu w , torney of the swindling company for all lotteries are more or less swindles at Washington, end its agent in Noith Dakota is ex-Senator Spencer of Ala bama, a Republican carpet bagffer, who , Is managing the buinesa at Bismark. the Stale capital, and Is a bird of the same feathar as Quay and Dudley. The Chicago Tribune special of Sunday from liumatk says tbe lottery bill will become a law despite tbe Governor's expected veto. The proposed lottery will ba a branch of tbe New Oileans concern. Tbe fact is the North Dakota people are hard-up and the lottery will give them relief in the anatler ot S-Le taxation. A meeting of the business men of Blsmarz. on Saturday indorsed tbe enterprise as one that wotfld 'sr cure to the S ate a large revenue without di rect taxation, which will enable the State treasurers to meet at once all cur rent obligations and in future relieve tbe State of tbe necessity for neavity bonding aad borrowing." The Dat kotiana are up on a high mountain with the devil, and are likely to dicker with old cloven foot. Of the petitions pre sented to tbe Legislature on Saturday, 1?78 petitioners indorsed the lottery and 1434 opLOsed It. The Bismark Tribune says : "Occasional pietests in response to requests snt out by pastors have been received, but the bulk of the peti tions from over the State favor the measure. It is looked upon aa a busi ness proposition. Tbe moral aide of tbe question receives little attention." Altogether affairs In North Dakota are in a bad way. One ef the legislative remonstrants was tbe Mayor of Fargo, and tbe lottery company at once carried a motion for a committee to inquire into hia licensing houses of prostitu tion and gambling ia Fargo. Tbe lottery bill proposes to pay Into the State Treasury $105,000 annually during the term of the charter, and $75,000 addi:ional far the act. Is privileges are confined to tbe Louisiana lottery, and a motion to strike out tbe monoply was defeated by a deeided vote. Pittsburg Post. 2-een Victoria's Address. London. Feb. 10.

A report was received this afternoon that the proclamation opening the Sioux reservation had been issued and a large number of prospective settlers at once left for tbe west side of the river. Mmy have for many days bad their wagona loaded with lumber and every thing ready to move at a moment's no tice. The settlers were, however, inter cepted by Indian Agent Anderson with Indian police, and returned to tbe east aide of the river. M-jor Anderson, said that, while be fully expected the proclamation this evening or daring to morrow, until definite and reliable in formatiou was received, he couid allow none to enter tbe reservation. For tbe last few days settlers have been arriving in large numbers, usually wltb teams, and they have at once se cured all the necessities for establishing homes iu tbe reservation. The town is now filled with them, and. while order ly, tbey are determined not to allow the grass to grow under their feet when tbe I proclamation is once isaued. The river is frozen over at this point so that a crossing can be aafe'y en ice, and the reservation lying directly wett of tbe river can be reached in short or der.
