Theartion of t lie City Council, at its last meeting, in serving rotice on ,the"'C!:airman of the. Board of County Coiniiii.-ioners. to have the County Jail JmiiKtliately removed, is a god t,h: This miserable structure, en-one otisly called a jail, has so long ln-en a iiiitsariee. to at lea.-t two of tins senses, that it had almost got to bec(nsid'red H iHcessry evil, which could not le reiuVMl. ami must therefore la; en dured.

It has not 'in e i-ature which in the eye of the law would lermit its existence one day. The f ar of it prevents it from .". irenling a pestilence, as every one shuns it. It is a constant and danger ous menace o the h. altli id the' city, and a disgrace as a place of confine inent, for even the most depraved criminals. The County Commissioners now have every reason to act on this matter, and in short order, and have this outrage on common decency n.-r-manently and forever removed.

Opinions vary, both as to the length of time it will take, and the result of the final vote in the House, whieh will elect the Sjieaker of the Fifty 8econd Congress. The uiimtter of 'candidates for the office, indicates that there must "'be ..some struggle before a Speaker is elected, and the number of new mem bers, m the neigh liorhood of one hun d red, must make any preliminary work already started, or promises of sup port made hitherto, very imlefinite and decideiilv uncertain Wfore the opentng of the next session. The rea son for tins may Ihj found m the desire to Iwon the winning side, hence Con gressmen will not likely consider theuv selves bound by the half made promises of either last winter or summer, espe cially if ly fulfilling such pledges, favors are not likelv to result. Then fore it can safely bit said that promises and pfcdges must Ito renewed, before any candidate can feel certain of votes, or can figure on chances of being elected. What combinations will bo-formed cannot be even guessed at present, although the probabilities are that , the republicans will vote for the dem ' otrat who will grant them the most privileges, while the Alliance members may unite their votes, and endeavor by holding the balanco of power to elect a Speaker whom they may think most inclined towards their principles, Tlie four gentlemen, whose names just now are prominent before the country as aspirants for the Speaker ship of the Fitty-si-cond Congress and who will without doubt lo candidates j t j - t Ior lh-t honor, are Messrs.

Xothing could show more ' eoiicht sively his standing with the present administration, than the recent letter of Secretary Busk, after the success of the department in sec.iring the ad mission of American jsrk into Cer many. Although politically opposed to Mr. Hatch, Secretary Husk did not fail to recognize his services, employed in the same direction, and his appreci ation of these services is fully seen in the following letter of Secretary Rusk to Mr. Hatch, which was sent imme diately after the official announcement as to the removal of the restrictions. It gives me great pleasure to inform 3ou that I have been notified by the representative of the German govern ment in this country that Germany has this day removed its prohibition against the admission of American pork into that country. I feel assured that you, as a representative 'of the farming in terest of this country, will rejoice with me at this event. The thanks of the farmers of the country are due to yon for your efforts- in their behalf, and especially your advocacy before the House of Representatives ()f the meat inspection bill,without which the above result, could not have been obtained. In all agricultural.-matters in his district and State, as well as those connected with national affairs, Mr. Hatch has always taken a lively per sonal interest, and it is very safe to predict that as Speaker of the Fifty second .Congress, the farming interests of this country would" not only be well looked after, but receive a full hearing and liberal treatment. Therefore jossessing the respect of leading republicans, a hearty and sym pathetic worker and believer in the pro-notion of the agricultural interests of the country,a democrat whose demo cracy is unquestioned, Congressman Hatch cannot fail if elected the next Speaker of the House, to worthily and satisfactorily fill the office, co operating with the several different factions for the bnst interests of all. and making a record for the Fifty-second Congress which the country as a whole need not feel ashamed to receive. The election of William II. Hatch, of Missouri, to the Speakership of the Fifty-second Congress, would give the democrats greater strength and influence with the Farmers' Alliance, than the elec tion of any other man within the party. . r THE DEATH OF PARK ELL. The sudden and wholly unexpected announcement of Mr. Barnell's death must have been received in all the communities of ;Ireland, Great Britain and America with a saddened surprise whichdiad in it a sense of severe and unuatural shock.
