CORN AND "WHEAT.
The advice is given (says the Balti
more by those familiar with the
state of the grain production ot the
country to raise Indian corn. It is
urged that Uie amount of wheat al
ready exp-fted this year has been very
largely increased, whilst Ihat ot corn,
in consequence ofthe s.arcity, has de
creased in a still greater proportion.—
The wheal, crep, therefore, cannot be
likely this year to come into contact
with the corn, as was the case last year,
and therefore the price of tbe latter will
undoubtedly be remunerative over any
other crop that can now be put in. Tlic
returns of the exports of breadstuff's
from New York from January Ist to
April Ist In the past three years tell the
tale. So far in 1870 tbe exports of
wheat have atnniiiited to 2,101.834 bush
els, against ii.080,9(1- in same period of
1869. and 710,528 in like period of 1808.
while thos4 cf corn have been only 86,
--253 bushels In 1870, against 716.014 in
the same period of 1869. and 2.227.054 In
\ the like period of 1868. Only 19,571
\barrels of corn meal have been export
ed from New York since January Ist,
gainst 39,302 barrels n same mouth ol
1»V On the other hand, the exports
of A*at Hour from the same port haio
lncre\^ t | ) being 350,394 barrels against
239,016\ U lame months last year.—

|C__l» It Is plain that newspaper pce
ple are not the only dead-heads. At
the West, Honerable Judges, ni well
strike for free rides. Last Monday, In
the Illinois Constitutional Convention,
an amendment was proposed provid
ing tbat any Judge accepting a free
pass fro _ a railway company should
torfelt his office—a very proper and
natural provision, it seems to us; but
tho Convention did not think so, for it
toted down the amendment, so that
Judges on circuit can continue to beg
their way,lf tney please to do so. To
be stirs one does not sec, apart from
Other and evident considerations, why
they should not buy tickets like ordi
nary human beings. If they are too
poor to do It, the proper course would
be to raise tbeir salaries.
tCP* Speaking of the case ot James
Jeter Phillips, a letter from Kichmond
in the Lynchburg Virginian says:—
'When the petition was lirst circulated
tkere were scarce a hundred who could
be induced to sign it, but now there are
many who belie.c that he has suffered
more real agony than death by hanging
would have inflicted, and that trie pur
poses and intents ot the law could as
well be. effected by confinement for life
In the Penitentiary. Phillips is said to
present a most ghostly appearance.—
lis has been in jail since March, 1867,
and for nearly half that time in Military
confinement. His [ioor father—and a
worthier man n*ver lived—has met
with many misfortunes of late and his
family are now scattered."
*Cf Returns for the annual lists ol
Incomes and special taxes for 1870, re
ceived at the Internal Revenue fioni
thirty six collection districts, in differ
ent parts of tint country, show an in
crease in amount of a-.essnientsot $84.
--000. As tha districts from which these
returns come, are generally small and
unimportant, the indications ire thut
the lists for the current year will show
a large increase over tlie returns ot last
year, uot withstanding the general busi
ness of the country has fallen off'some,
what, nnd that almost all Incomes are
smallej now than then. The Increase
arises solely from closer assessments
> aad a better enforcement ol the reve
"■"• '-"ws.
*rt_jT It is predicted thst we will have
An summer the most, serious l.idian
war ever know. Vat the ten or twelve
thousand Indians preparing to go upon
# the war path could be easily reduced to
peaceful submission. The government
bas but to spend about one-lourth of
whst hostilities will cost, te satisfy
these savages and make them content
» With the eorsmsnds ol their white rul
ers. But there is not so much profit
for contractors snd ahoddyites in the
peaceful as in tli* -erlik* policy.

DOINGS OF BULLOCK,
What the people ol Georgia are suf
fering by the doings of their infamous
Governor, so-ciilied, some Idea may be
lorincd Irom the following »!:itenieiit»
by tlie Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette.
"It isiin ascertain- tl fact that Bul
lock, ihe Fo-ciil)eil Governorol Georgia.
has already sold to the Adams Express
Company the Western Atlantic Rail
road, better known as l In; 'State Road.'
This road is not only Hit most i npnr
tantand valuable work or Internal im
provement In the Slate nl Georgia, but
is the most valuable railroad In the
southern Stales. This ritad runs from
Atlanta to UttettelMMMpi, Tennessee,
throughout what is known as •t:in-ro
ke* Georgia.* and is I'M miles in length.
This nail supplies and feeds itll the
roads of the Gulf States in Woti-ru
produce, stock, eic. besides b.ing the
great thoro.igliliire of travel.
Before tbe war this rotu! more than
paid the taxes ofthe people <n Geoigia.

for Bullock at a cost of $250,000.
Such schemes of wholesale plunder
and fraud are perfectly intolerable. It
is not to be expected that any people
1 should submit to such outrages without
i a struggle; nor is it simprisiiig that the
people of Gooigia should more enniist

" strictly military government, that they

* A 810 SCARE,
t A procession of about 100 Irishmen
t recently was seen in a Northern city.—
? Forthwith all sorts of rumors about ■

ANOTHER LAND BILL.
. The Osagu Indian Land bill has gone
' through Committee, by a vote ol 18 to
, 59. The bill gives some two millions
. and a quarter acres of (lie public do
, main to a company which has already
received 45,000.000 acres. Tlie debate
at times was quite heated and prolific
. of personalities. Some ot the members
, did not hesitate to denounce the whole
I thing as a plunder measure which pro
posed to'morlgage to the money-lend
ers of Europe more land than would
make up a dozen ol their little king
doms.

charged to me, said Mr. Smyth, in or
der not to break the Sabbath by pay
ing it- from which it appears that Mr.
Smyth regards it as a breach of the
fourth colonial'.lini'iiii to pay his law tui
debts on Siitlday. This is ceilainly a
singular phase of clerical morality; but,
after all. it is what we might expect
from a man who was capable of mixing

The %-c broke oui in the stable at

a lamp. Every effort was made to ex
tinguish it, but the combustible nature
of the material upon which it led. ren
dered all efforts to stay its progress
futile. The sparks from" the stable set
Io the Hotel adjoining which was
a mass ol lurid flames, which
! thence communicated to the jail,
the dwelling of Col. W. E. M.

the power ol appropriate legislation

I DAY OF FAST-NO AMD PRAYI-lt-AD
DSEBB OF CHIEF JIVSTICK -HASE.
Rich aon I), May' 4.— To-day the
churches were lilled and the city pre
sented a Sabbath appearance. All the
churches were crowded.
ln the United Stales Circuit Court
to-day the Chief Justice of iln- United
States, at the meeting of the court, in
I response to Ihe resnlutioi.siif tlu-Hich-
I m .'d bar regarding tin lute calamity,
said : "llu.nai. emotions are but poor
ly expressed by wordi. When the first
vague rumor ot the terrible event in
this oity. whicli lias been co fitly named
the great calamity, went through the
i land, a few days ago, all hearts 101 l a
shock like l hat of a sudden and awful
personal bereavement. Then, as the
tidings came more distinctly over tlie
I wires and the fearful disaster took
shape and form in the minds nf the
people, it seemed for a time to oppress
i all hearts like a night mare. Tlie pulse
• ot life throbbed heavily, and human ut
i ter.mcc faih d under the crti-hing sen
• ss.ion of sorrow whicli pervaded the
land- Boon the currents of leeling be
■ gsu to flow, and now for many days
» heartfelt expressions of condolence and
t substantial manlfcstions of sympathy
• have been flowing towards Richmond
' like a great tide, No right-minded and
. true-hearted man can help feeling this
• vast development of unafl'ecltng gnod
- will, so strikingly devoid ot oveiy.hing
' like sectional or party leeling, as one
- ot those gleams ot radiance which iv
■ God's _ood providence so oiren brigh
• ten Ihe Jai kest clouds of human grief.
When two days since, we took our scut*
■ upon lliis bench, our eyes and hearts
B alike missed familiar faces from the
' bar. Let us thank God that those
8 whose voices were nltenest heard here
I yet survive, May tlie Great Physician
- comfort lheir sorrowing lioisseholdrand
• give them speedy and complete restor
ation. But there weie oilier member*
- of the'bar who will never again join in
honorable contentious. One has gnu*
■ in the ripened luLiicfs of honored
years; another with the distinctions of
B of his pjolessiou clustering thickly up
• on him, having already won those
!hts of public estimation from winch
iscent to tlie highest Seemed ea«y
sure; another younger yet mature,
ding wilh firm steps the upward
i* ot usefulness and honor. How
ibiy does such a calamity as this
ike'our vain expectations! How
•essivcly does it admonish ever
of us to look beyond the shadow
me to the realities of eternity ! 1
id that among those living and
hed vi tier that mass of ruin* there
_ some who could yet exchange ;
faint words iv that teiirfnUnlace
c of them wh'eh have been rescuer
' impressed me so much as that c
mangled and broki n s ilt'erer wln
lotind strength to exclaim : 1, 01
c, where is Ihv victory! 1 Oh dcatl
re is thy sting !" What a tritimpl
that"' "What a testimony to tne
inpaiable worth ot the Cl-ristiui:'
i! So in the very depth or this
il distress and anguish, open
ags of human sympathy and foiin
-sof the subliuien heavenly coin-
Let us take these lessons to our
'his ia a day ol humiliation ami
er. The churches will be lilled
I worshippers. Let us carry into
t not merely the burden of sorrow
ilso Hie consolation* oi faith, ever
•inhering that all is God. If he

THE RICHMO.ID CALAMITY -BENEFIT
AT HOLIDAY 61 BEET THEAT2K,
The benefit at the Holiday street
Theatre on Saturday afternoon, lor the
sufferers by the Richmond disaster.
Mas a complete success. The audito
rium ol the theatre was literally jam- |
cd. The musicians were crowded out
of their places and compelled tv play
s their accompaniment* on the stag*.
Some of the audience were permuted
I behind the scenes. The entire number
> in the house reached an aggregate ol
'. nearly 3,500 Over 3,400 tickets were
s received at two doors; of the number
- present 2.500 werc'isijies and the rest
i gentlemen and chil_.""-u-- Although
-the information "no Standing room —
house packed" was given numbers
bought tickets at the ticket olßce and
- took their chances. It Is not extrava
gant to say that thousands were turn
ed away with tickets, tumble to gain
entrance, though with the consolation
of the benefit being so great a success.
Mr. Ford, the manager r-f-thc llie.ttre,
tinder whose auspices tiie benefit was
tendered, was faithfully seconded by
the members of the police force, whu
car vssed ehe city thoroughly, and by
ibis means have largely increased the
fund that will be credited to the City
of Baltimore as a free offering to em
distressed sister city. The board of
commissioners js'ive the fullest coun
tenance to this atTL'taement, and Mar
shall Gray and Oeptii., Marshal Frey,
with tiie district captains, labored In
def'atigably.to promote rhe object in
view. Tlie sale at the ticket office was
quite spirited, and ouiy ceased whan
the lobbies were crowdad. The piece
