The Star Route Frauds.
Tiie Washington correspondent
of the Ch irleston News and Cou¬
rier pricks some bubbles and tells
move truth in the following:
Ii is now believed that a thor¬
ough investigation will be made
of the star route scandal, and that
this investigation will be conducted
in the courts. The end ot the in
vestigmon is not yet reached in the
department, ana no information rel¬
ative to the tx'unt of the alleged
frauds or as to the persons involved
will be there given * What, the
out,
public has already received has
been through the medium of the
records before the Congressional
investigating committee and the
committee on appropriations of the
last House of Representatives. The
subject was then thoroughly over
hauled and the appropriation com
mittee unanimously reported that,
there existed at, least a great waste
of public money and a violation of
the spirit if not the letter of the
law. 'Hie report of this committee
was booled down in the House and
in fact, all over the country. It
was the denounced as a Democratic
scheme for tho manufacture of
party capital at the expense
ol the mail set vice of the United
Slates. Even the newspipera now
employed in making war on Liad_\
and the great fraud were then en¬
gaged m denunciation of the Demo¬
cratic party and what was termed
Sam Randallisrn. A Republican
member of that committee says
there is nothing new in the report.
e<l ca-es—they were all so reported
to the II->use.
The post-ofiico department will
shot ly turn the whole matter over
to the courts, where part of it is
alreadv. r l'be department of jus
ttce will sift it to tho bottom, and
several prosecutions nny he coufi
dentiv looked for before long.
1 ell-1 ale Statist ias.
Mr. Frye, in his recent bii'ious
diatribe against the South, took oo
easion to declare that-, while igno
ranee and misery prevailed in the
1 ri’jflit Snnland, the people of bleak
of New England wore the happiest,
and besi paid under vhc sttn. Uu
forttmatelv. the Serator from Maine
either did rot speak by tho card,
or he ir in dense ignoranco of the
real condition of affairs in his own
section, Tho Louisville Courier
Journal, nnfo innately for the gen¬
tleman from New England, ha j cot.
la'ed from the rect-C report of Mr.
Carroll 1). Wright, ot the Ma-sa..
chnsells Bureau of Labor and Sta
tistics, some facts and figures about
labor hours and compensation in
lightened and cultured portion of
the universe, whten hardly sustains
Mr. Fi ve’s assertion.
According to Mr. VVright’s re
port, in the mills of M line men are
paid $7 60 a week, and women gpt
only $6 50, while the linle children
receive from $2 25 to §3 40 in the
woolen mills, which pay the largest
wages. One paper mill in M line
pays men 610 50 a weik and women
$5 50, working seventy-two hours a
week. In New Hamnshire the
wages are much lower than those
paid in Main", and tho operatives
are ii q cireil to »oik -ixqv six Hours
in the week. In r. iodu Island tbe
wages are a little higher, with six..
ty six hours ot work during the
neck. In Connecticut operatives
work ninety hours a week.—fifteen
boars n day for six days—apd the
wages n't; 69 for men, $4 80 b’r
women, $5 10 for male children and
64 50 for female children. The
highest spinners’ wiiges Ate
66. In Massachusetts*from six’v
three to s’x’v-six hours of Tab n- a
week are exacted, and spinners on¬
ly get 61 08 a day; the highest
class of labor in the mills not
coeding $10 to 612 for the men.

Silk Culture in the Soujfji.
Mr. breorga H. Oook, writing
from IvursviHe, Columbia coo it t

might prove Valuable. He also
states that he is impressed with the
idea that the sBk worm would do
well in the cliuato in which he re¬
sides it property cared for, and lie
requests, u's to give him any
in our pn.ascss&A likely to piove
the conlraiy.
In reply to bis first question we
will refer to correspodent to

formation on the subject,
And to the second question, we
know of nothing to prevent the silk
worm from being bred successfully
in Columbia county, Florida, and
indeed throughout that entire sec ¬
tion of ciurtry. They can ho suc¬
cessfully produced wherever the
mulberry or the osage orange fl oir
j ishes, and we believe these trees
grow with little diffii-u'ty through
out that section. As farther proof
however, that the worms can ho
bred there, we have on our table
now a small box containing twenty
, six live coccoons, raise this spring

has d“VoteJ some time to the C'Jl
tu re of tho silk worm, furnishes
practical proof of the adaptability
of the climate of his section for the
production of tho worm and co
coons, and our Florida correspon..
j dent might, doubtless obtain from
1 hint much of the information he

Fish Culture.
It should surprise anybody if tin
culture of fi-li Bhould iiltimalelt
prove to lie the most, prod abb
food-producing industry in tin
world—if all cattle and Mock grow
ing industry should palt> Indore it.
and that ultimately it should fie
come one of tho most common a
well as most money-miiking indus
fried, engaging public attention in
a || p ar t s 0 f the country.
The philosophy upon which these
conclusions rent i* very plain and
conclusive. Fishes multiply at a
rate many thousand tunes greater
than any other animal food product.
In a elate of nature, w hen long ex¬
empt from human depredations,
j they multiply often beyond tho ca.
pacity of streams to hold them. It
is well known to road'Ts that in
j the Columbia river in Ong »n, sal..
