The corn crop of tbe United States
last year showed an increase of 30,
000,000 bushels, barley increased
15,000,000 bushels; of oats there
was a large increase ; potatoes foil

year to 124,000,000 bushels.
The Xew York Tribune says : j
Tbe first month of resumption turns i
the laugh against tbe croakers k I
prophesied dismal things aboui the
exhaustion of tbe stock of gold in the
Treasury. Though twenty-Sve mil
lions have been ;paid out, there is
actually mere gold in tbe Treasury
than there was, and it U now ordered
that tbe Febiuary intereet shall be
paid in coin.
Ex-Secretary Cuampleu now
seems certain cf returning to bis old
seat in tbe Senate. II is successor,
Cbristiauey, was one of the civil
service reform failures. Old Zacb's
chief fault is that be is aa uncompro
mising Republican of the straightest
sect. Next to that is the fact that
Le is a rank protectionist.

The Legislature bas got down to
work, and tbe usual number of biiiB j
are being incubated in both Houses,
tbe large majority of which will go
to the committees, rua the gauntlet cf;
discussion and be killed, to be again
resurrected at tbe next session. Mr.
Shrock furnishes us with a pending

other live stock from running at

Senator Louan, of Illinois, is tLe
only man of any prominence in the
Union army, who will be in tho next
Senate. Senators Piumb, of Kan

d for a short time, but never be
came prominent. Oa tbe Demo
cratic side, however, there will be,
in the next Senate, no It.-s tbao
seventeen Senators, all Brigadier
Generals of tbe Confederate army.
This is a marked change indeed, and
will serve to indicate tbe drift of
things. The North will sooa need a

There are estimated to be 4,500,
00 barrels of petroleum in tbe tanks
in the ".oil region of Pennsylvania.
Tbe United States can light the
world. Tbe yield of this product in
this country is seven tirne3 greater
than in all the world beside. Petro
leum is found in Japan, Persia, Si
beria, France, Italy, and was used
by tbe ancients 2,000 years ago, be

use before the Christian era. The
first borings for oil in this country
were in 1859. That year the pro

it bas increased uQ'.il now it amounts
to from 8,000,00 to 10,000,009

Marshal MacMauox has re
signed tbe Presidency of tbe Repub

5ooked upon as an assurance thai
Republicanism is firiily fixed in

It is becoming every day more
evident, that tbe Southern Chivalry
can "lay all over" the Tammany
thieves in financial ecoundrelism. The
latest case, where a law was specially
enacted for tLe purpose of defrauding
creditors, comes up from Memphis,
Tennessee. Joha W. Garrett &
Sons of Baltimore, and other credi
tors of the city of Memphis made ap
plication to the United States Court,
for tbe eppoiniment ol a Receiver
for the city, in conformity with tbe
la of the State, and to provide for the
pcyment of the debts of tbe city out
of its ecscls. No sooner was this
done, than aa Act was rushed
through tbe Legislature, ddw in ses
sion, repealiog tbe charter of the city,
and thus its creditors are defrauded
of their claims. A sharper or more
raseally trick, cannot he found ia tbe
sua bis of crime.
Senator Gbady of Philadelphia
ha? introduced a bill in tbe Sena'.e
providing for a material increase of
tbe salaries of tbe Judges in this
State. Just .now, when a general
reduction of salariei and the fees of
officers, is bsing enfjreed all over the
country, v.hea the people every
where are demanding retrenchment,
when our Legislators will have to
provide additional sources of rev
enue, or increase the present rate of
taxations to provide for tbe expens
es of the State, is not a good lime to
increase tbe salaries of the Judiciary.
It is true their labors arc very ardu
ous but since the adoption of the
new Constitution, whereby about
forty more Judges were placed on
the bench we thick they are in no
danger of bciag crushed under the
weight, and, on the whole, we are
inclined to think, they can connive to
suslcin existance on five thousand
doLcrs a $&r, until belter times
dawn. We cbser.e moreover, that
none of them are ,orcei jo resign,
because of tLe present pittaaca itbey

HOW ROT TO DO IT.
Th. ii vhit iKa Tiit.nf PomaifH'
tee is trying to demonstrate. It has
succeeded very well so far, and if
some ot ibe" Democratic members
can belp Mr. Potter and General
Butler to talk against time until
about the fourth e March, the com-
mittee win nave completely Demon
strated "bow not to do it." 'It was
to be expected that a Democratic
committee would first try to discover
crookedness outside of the family.
Nobody objects to that ; and if the
life of tbe committee were to outlast
tbe Congress that created it, nobody
would care if it dilly-dallied over
suppositious dispatches from tbe
time till next December. Mr. Pot
ter is a man cf sense, aad Ciust know
that an innocent man alxays de
mands a trial at the earliest moment
after the defence is prepared. But
what is Mr Tilden's friend and vin
dicator doing! Ia he pressing for
trial? Is he not rather employing tbe
committee's time in dilatory moiioos,
seeking, in fact, to stave off the in
vestigation into tbe matters c barg
ed It looks remarkably like lawyer
work when tbe lawyer ba a tough
case. Km nere lue puouc i iue
plaintiff, and tbe offence is against
party lutegnty ana gooa morais.
Tbere is but one aspect or toe case.
It ia not a matter bere doubts are
t be resolved, unless it is assumed
that Mr. Tilden was the author of
tbe scurvy bosiaess done by his
agents in Oregon and in the koutb.
That has not yet b?en charged and
bis friends, and some others, Dave
said tfcat in all probability Mr. Til
den never knew anything of tbe de
tails ot the plot. Let that be as
sumed, then, and for tbe time let Mr.
Tilden retire from the scene. That
will make the investigation less par
sonal. Put Mr. Tilden ont of the
case, and what remains? This: the
allegation that Mr. Tilden b agents
didrafter tbe election in lSfQ, con
spire to defeat the will of the people
of Oregon, South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana, by corrupt means
That is tho remainder after putting
Mr. Tilden out of tbe ease That is
the real question to which tho com
niitlee is expected to address itself.
But every hour spent in trying to find
out how the plot was revealed is lost
time. Yo matter about that. . Was
there a eoctpir&y op tjie pari of re
sponsible axeats of the Democratic
party to bribe election officers to do
anything whatever :
It seems to be Euluctent for some
of the geutle men who are dreadfully
shocked at Republican rascalities to
say that at tbe worst Mr. Tilden's
agents were only trying to induce
election omcers Jo do their duty
Others comfort themselves ta saying
that us nobody was bought by Pel-
ton. Marble k Co.. tnere was no
wrong done, lo tbe hrt oj ttiese
casuists the reply is that the reason
of the law against bnberv baa note
iog to do wuh tbe motives of tue
person bribing or the person bribed.
To offer an officer money, or any
other valuable consideration, aa an
inducement to the performance of his
sworn duty is to corrupt that officer,
and not only to corrupt buu but to
become corrupt on the part of the
offerer. There is no difference of
opinion about this amoutr honorable
persons, aud we are dealiug only
with such. It is not fa-bioable to
Lire public cffi ;ers to do hat thy
are sworn toad not in tuts country.
It sometimes bas been doa to Kus
sia and in Mexico at least that is
the universal testimony ; but not
here. We bear of legislators voting
ar or no upon some particular meas
ure for a consideration. But tbe
man who votes right, in the public
view of duty, am! ;is found afterward
to have been influeiiceii by money,
is not excused. No, Mr. Potter ; you
cannot afford to miseducate tb
American people by leaving them to
iufer that it is no crime to bribe of
ficials, unless tbe act required, and
lor which money is paia, is wrong
Tbe motive of the offer cannot be
pure. Wben, as in this case, the
moral standing of the agents of bri
bery is lower than that of the yer
sons to whom tl e bribes were ouer-
ed, it can hardly be assumed that
case of corruption is made out against
the election officers. The first thing
in order is to determine whether tbe
cipher djsnatches are genuine, and if
tbey were or were not the woik of
Democrats acting ia (he supposed
interest of Mr. Tilden. There pan
be no ohjection to tbe production of!
Republican dispatches of a similar
nature ; but M. Tilden csnnolbe vin
dicated by trying le prove that some
body else is not ss honest as be
might be. Mr. Tilden's agot3 are
already convicted, unless tbey eaa
furnish seme other explanation of the

proportions in that city; and from
Ceara, dated December 2nd, it was
raging with tbe most frightful inten

province. In Fortaleza, the capital
of Ceara, 1,077 persons died from it
oo tbe 2Sih and 29tb ultimo, and
from the 1st to the 2th the total
was about 6,20. That city has a
normal population of about 23,000,
tut its actual present population va,

Boston, Jan., 28. Additional par
ticulars of tbe tragedy at Montvil'e,
Waldo Couuty, Me, on Saturday
evening la-t, state tbat the grand
daughter oz Jobs -Merer iand, was
not killed. The victims were John
McFarland and bis wife Salina, eacb
about 70 years old, and George Bow-
ell, about 40 rears old. Tbe place
where the murder occurred is aboui
IS miles from Belfast. McFarland and
his wife and owe!l and bis wife and
two children lived togetuc;, itowtll
having married the widow of McFar-
land's son. On Saturday evening
Bowell had some words wub Mcrar
land, during which he struck him
and threatened to take bis life. Mc
Farland and bis wife and tbe two
children left tbe bouse for a neigh
bor's. As they were going away
tbey were met by Alonza Baynes, a
neighbor, who was coming to Ale tar-
land's benso. As be nearcd tbe bouse
he was fired upon by Bowell, who
was in the bouse, bat was not bit.
Turning, Baynes ran back home,
passing McFarland and bis wife, who
were walking through tbe ' snow.
Bowell followed, with the empty gun
in bis band, and, overtakiug the old
couple, killed them boih in tbe read
with the clubbed gun. breaking Mrs.
McFarlandV neck, and crushing the
skulls if both in a horrible manner.
Leaving bis victims in the road, Bow
ell burned on in pursuit of Barnes,
who, witb the children, had entered
bis bouse, closed the doors, and armed
himself with a double barreled shot
gun. Bowell burst in tbe panels of
tbe door and repeired a charge from
B syne's gun, striking bim o tbe
groin and inflicting what proved to
be a fotsl wcund. Baynes bound
Row til with a rope, end, wiih a lan
tern, hastened to learn the fte of the
old couple, finding tbem botb dead a
short distance from his door. On bis
return to ibe bouse Bowell was also
de$d. Rowtll was' undoubtedly in
sane at 'the time of committing tbe
deed. He had been considered 'so
occasionally for several years, but
was quiet and considered harmless.
He was a l.irge aad powerful roan,
and very dangerous when deranged.
At the Coroner's inquest to-day the
verdict w?3 tht McFarland and his
wifa' csjae to" ' their deata by th?
hands of Ue rge' Bowell, ind that
Baynes killed Bowell in self defense.
