By ihe December report 6'f the De
partment of Agriculture', it appears
that the corn crop of 1870 was only
two per. cent, less than that of 1875,
and fifty per cent, greater than that of
1874; The aggregate is 1,295,000,000
bushels. There lias been an increase
in tho area devoted to the culture of
the cereal. Wisconsin shows the
greatest rate of increase in the North
west, and Georgia in the South. In
the amount of production Illinois
heads the list,' followed by Iowa, Ohio,
Indiana, Missouri, and Kansas. In
the Southern States, Tenuese, Texas,
Alabama, and Georgia are (he largest
producers. The average price of corn
per bushel is Mghest in Massachus
etts and' lowest in Kansas, being
ninety-five cents in the former and
twenty-three in the latter. Corn is
the great staple of the West, nut only
in the amount produced, but as furn ¬
ishing the chief food for all kinds of
stock.'

Columbus, OL'lo' Jarilihry 25. Tho
special committee to investigate tho
Ashtabula disaster, at their meeting
to-day, examined Rogers, of Ashta
bula, who testified ho had charge of
putting up the Ashtabula, bridge. In
the first place, the upper cords of the
bridge were too king, and they were
shortened by planing down the lugs
or bruce blocks. The bridge was then
put up, but it immediately settled
down to almost a straight 1'nc. It
w as then raised up and "shims" were
put in, which lengthened the upper
cords three ami a half inches. Tho
bridge was again let dowil by knock
ing out the wedges slowly, but still
would not bear its own weight. A
second lime it was blocked up! and
new wedges put In It, and thli time it
stood firm.
Gold has fluctuated very materially
during the hist fourteen years. Thu
advance began in June, 1862, when
from two or three per cent, above cur
rency, it rose in July to 113. After
reaching 172 in 1S03, it declined iu tho
same year to 12!. The upward ten
dency again began, and in July, 1864,
it touched the unprecedented figure of
285. The closing qin.taion of thut
year was 214. The end of the rebel
lion was followed fur the most part by
a decline. Iu 108, however, it was
rated higher than in 1867, and on
Black Friday, 1S6"J, it ran up to 162,
a figure not reached since. Through
1870 P.nd 1871 its course was steadily
downward, but in 1872 there was a
temporary rise above 115, succeeded in
the same year by a fall to 108. The
present quotations are almost as low
us in 1862. Willi the steady decline of
gold, &S exhibited during the last few
years, there is good reason to believe
that the resumption of specie pay
ments will take place in 167f, or in
the near future.
Sir. Charles Francis Adams, jr.,
urges through Congressman Garfield
the creation of a national bureau of
statistics tomakespecial inquiries into
the causes of every raUvf-ay accident
that may occur. He urges that tho
public has no protection against the
neglect and carelessness of railway
managers. The railway officials
make an investigation on their own
account but the people have no ma
chinery for inquiry better than a
'erowner's 'quest." He well says
that "in a case of manslaughter we do
not generally leave the investigation
into the circumstances wholly in the
hands of those responsible for the
killing." But this is what is practi
cally done in this county when tin
killing dono by a railroad company.
How important some action in tlm
premises on the part of the govern
ment is appears from the fact that
there are on tho average 3,100 railroad
uccidents in a year, by whicli 1,000
persons are injured and 250 lives are
lost. Such Pgiires tell their own
story. The Ashtabula horror ffll3 the
country with sorrow, but nothing is
done to fix the responsibility for
it where it belongs and provide against
the recurrence of a similar catastro
phe, and nothing will be done till
congress provides the requisite ma
chinery for investigation. Mr. Gar
field represents the Ohio district in
which the Ashtabula horror occurred,
and would be a fit person to act upon
the suggestion of Mr. Adams and in
troduced a bill in congress.
