It Is a curious fact developed by the last New York census that there are in that State over 12,000 families living in log cabins. It is averred that a five-cent nickel costs only a cent and a quarter, and that they were legalized only for the benefit of the owners of a New Jersey nickel mine. . Governor Porter, of Tennessee, ays in his message, and every good citizen of that State will say amen, that jail breaking and lynching must be put a stop to by the prompt enforce' nient of the law. A candidate for the Lientenant- Governorshfp of Kentucky is eulogized as "the man who put one hundred and thirty-six bills through the Senate In one night, and let 'the boys' out before the barrooms closed." The governor of Montana, in his message, says he has an offer from a responsible person to take the entire bonded debt of the territory $74,000 now drawing 10 per cent., at 6 per cent, free from taxation, or 8 per cent, if taxed. South Carolina, with its two one legged Senators, is outdone by Hills dale county, Mich., which has a life long cripple for Register, a one-legged man for Treasurer and a one-armed man for Judge of Probate, while the City Tax Collector of Hillsdale has but one arm. A counterfeit Ave dollar gold piece is in circulation. It is gold on the out side, is full weight, and rings well. It is a little defective in milling, and the 8 initial for San Francisco mint is Imperfect, yet the imitation is good and only an expert Is able to detect the counterfeit from the genuine. The Potter Enterprise of last week says: "The pipe line company are at work making ready to lay their pipe. From the Allegheny river to near the turnpike the route has been cleared ten feet in width. It is reported that the company will commence hauling pipe from the railroad in a few days." Dr. Gracelon, the new governor of Maine, not only received the fewest votes cast for any candidate there last September, but he is even In agreement with the minority of his own party in the State on the currency question, being a hard money man and not afraid to call the cheap silver dollar a fraud. Of vessels belonging to, or bound to or from United States ports, 00 ure reported as lost or missing during the last month. Forty-one were wrecked, 11 abandoned, 2 burned, 1 sunk by col lision and 1 foundered. Four are miss ing. The total value of the vessels, exclusive of the cargoes, is estimated at $910,000. One hundred and sixty thousand dollars of Reading Railroad scrip has so fur been redeemed by the company. It is believed that before the day of payment arrives the script will be nearly all redeemed by the company, the small amount remaining unre deemed being held by persons who will keep it to make the interest of six per cent, on- it. During the snow blockade on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad, it is estimated that the loss to the company will amount to about $45,000 per day.. The company have about five thousand freight cars, and freight enough was collected at the various depots, it is estimated, to have loaded Ave thousand more cars. If these cars had been put in one continu ous line they would have reached from Erie to Buffalo. A very lively interest has been excited In Cincinnati by the appear ance of $75,000 in bright silver halves of old date. One theory was that the money was debused coin of Jackson's time, another was that it was stolen money. It proves to be the saving of the Rappist Society of Heaver county, Pa., which had the cash buried Jn 1861, and has just concluded that it is safe to dig it up. The loss in interest by the prudence of the association Is about $100,000. An exchange says the Assessors to be elected in the various towns and townships in February next, will be, to property owners, the most impor tant officials selected during the year. They will decide on the assessed value of all real estate la the county, and this valuation will hold good for three years. The greatest care should be taken in selecting persons for this po sition, and none but those of good Judgment and common sense selected. The position of assessor is one of the most important to be filled at the en suing municipal election. The Globe-Democrat' a Jefferson City special says : The Democrats In the caucus Wednesday night nomin ated General James Shields for the Senatorial short term, over David H. Armstrong, by a vote of 88 to 87. General Shields will be remembered as having represented Illinois and Minnesota in the United States Senate. After more than two hours of filibus tering and several motions to adjourn were voted down, the matter of nom ating for the long terra was postponed till Thursday night by a vote of sixty- five to sixty-one, and the caucus ad journed- Washington Letter from our regular correspondent. Washington, D. C, January 8, 1879. But little of Importance has trans pired at the capital the past week. The time of Congress has been again occupied with the burial of Its dead, and its sessions broken by the cere monies of mourning. The mortality among Congressmen this session Is really alarming.. Four members of the House have dropped out of the arena, within the short space of three weeks, nil of them Democrats, and three of the number among the most useful and highly esteemed members of the body to which they belonged. It was reported three or four days ago that the venerable Alexander Stevens had shuffled off this mortal coil, but it proved only one of the rumors that are so readily started upon the slightest foundation at sueh a time. Alex's little withered frame still forms living casket for one of the brightest intellects the country has produced, and their is no telling how mony stout, apparently healthy men he may out wear. The Female Franchisers ended theii annual pow-wow, and went home after resoluting ambitiously and dis coursing eloquently to moderate audi' en ces in Lincoln Hall. The meeting can not be said to have accomplished anything directly, beyond a whole some agitation and it takes a power of preaching to rouse much cnthusl asm on this subject, even among the women themselves, The weather was stormy, and Mrs. Stanton tookoo casion to remark that it was fitting that suffrage conventions should in variably meet on rainy days, while the heavens wept over the wrongs of women. This matronly and magnifi cent lady is the one over towering pillar of strength to the movement for women's disenthrallnient. The con vention comprised a fine lot of girls, old and young. If there is still a popular delusion that the suffrage women belongs to a distinct species, that she is acid and bony and dowdy, let that delusion hide its disgraceful head before the facts. They are neither all "old maids" nor all men haters, though they do sometimes give the sterner sex particular fits. But as a rule they are womanly and refined, and seldom go back on the gospel of good gowns. For instance, Lillie Devereux Blake, blonde brilliant, etaccuto, stylish. She is the woman who "dares" to wear the most pro nounced whim of millinery and look pretty in it. Mrs. Stanton, in matron ly siiks and softly fulling luces ; Miss Anthony, in rich and rather sombre black, relieved by a tint of white lace ; Mrs. Gage, with white hair a la Mar tha Washington and suit of garnet silk and velvet ; the professional women, in dresses that were fitting, graceful and individual. The brightest and prettiest of them all, Miss Phoeby Cozens, was not present this time. Doubtless she was too much occupied with her law practice is St. Louis. The administration of Justice in the District of Columbia is becoming a serious matter. It seems impossible to punish capital crimes here. Two con victions lor cold blooded murder have been found within a few months and have resulted, not in the hanging of the murderers, but in new trials, and finally hung juries. The second ease occuring this week. A negro who, had been tampering with another man's wife conclules to put the hus band out of the way, and turning up his coat collar to avoid recognition, walks out in broad day light, meets him unawares and deliberately shoots liim dead in the street. There were no words, no quarrel and no provocation. He is tried and convicted. His coun sel obtained a "new triul,"fixes up a jury partly colored and they disa gree, ten for conviction, two for ac quital. The same record has been made in other cases, notably a trial for one of the most heinous crimes on the calunder. All this is the result of negro juries, and an in sufferably weak or corrupt administra tion of the laws. And coupled with this we have a drunken judge, whose decisions urc alike a hurlesqeon law and an outrage upon decency. His name is Huni phres, and it is no libel to say that he Is habituully drunk on the bench. He is one of the judges of the Dist. Su preme Court not U. 8- Supreme Court and comes from Alabama. It ' is said Senator Spencer got him ap pointed during Grant's administration to get him out of the State. It has been his custom to get liquor from a neighboring restaurant, brought in by a colored attache of the court in a glass set in an empty cigar box. He is often in a maudlin condition us early as 10 o'clock in the morning, and caeates a good deal of amusement, when he does not make a too pitiable exhibition of himself and retards justice. Two or three years ago an attempt was made to impeach him, but politics defeated it. If the Democrats elect the next President he will be put out. A mem ber of the bar recently told me that the judge now gets his liquor in a smoking tobacco box, and when It ar rives he retires to a little ante room, ancT takes his refreshments like a true Alabamiun. Preparations for taking the Census nest year, are occupying the attention of Cougress, and the bill introduced by Mr. Cox, of New York, is a well de vised measure. Since tli passage of the act of 1850, under which three censuses have been taken, the condi tions of the country have changed, better methods of enumeration' have been devised, and there has been un increasing public demand for a greater variety of statistical information to be obtained in connection with the cen sus. It is important that the work be thoroughly doue. and that it may furnish a fresh array of "Aggers" on various subjects from which a good deal of illumination, so as to speak, may be drawn. The argument from statistics is a powerful one in this matter of fact age, but such argument is powerful only for evil, unless the statistics are acurate and complete. Should the Cox bill pass it may be a little hard on St. Louis and Chicago as the plan of instantaneous enumeration, rini not allow sufficient facilities for eountimr early and often. There is a suspicion that certain directories will be found to have been enormously padded. Don Pedro. A solid or cubic inch of gold weighs 10.15 ounces troy, and is worth frJOfl'84.
