A bill to tax church property is
before the Illinois Legislature and is
likely to be passed.
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

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.
