The Best Suggestion Out.


The following brief editorial from
the National MteNige1cer contains an
excellent suggestion. The Recon-
struction Committee, if they visited
the South, would find that we are
not savages, and that they would be
treated i'll such q manner as might
induce them to abandon their fierce
and oppressive programme for ruling
the South.
Few of the members, we believe,
are at all familiar with the people, or
with their actual condition, and
trip down here, during the holiday
recess, might be the most effectual
step towards an honorable restora-
tion-that is, always providing they
have any sense of honor or manhood
left. We append the hteRigsncer's
remarks:
eve respectfully suggest to the
members Of Congress that, before de-
termining positively on the line of
policy enunciated by its present
leaders, they pay visit in person to
the South. We do not believe that
after personal communication with
the Southern people in the midst of
their destitution and suffering, their
sincere attachment TO republican in
stitutions and to the Union, they
will feel at liberty to pursue the
harsh policy which so many of them
seem resolved upon. They could
not do their country a better service
than BY ascertaining, by personal
contact with the people, what is
their true spirit and feeling. The
Christmas holidays might be more
pleasantly spent at home, but two
weeks passed amid the people Of the
Carolinas, of Georgia and the Gulf
States, would do more to enlighten
the representatives Of this great ma
ton as to their true duty than all the
talk with loyalists Of the Hamilton
and Holden stripe that may be col
lected from Norfolk to Galveston.
We think if they went unhera1ded,
and in squads of two or three, it
would be much better. No man
nHO Ht1o HO1 oeeH OOutH Is quallIleu
to speak Of the true state of things
there, and if gentlemen would just
leave their prepossessions and parti-
san preludices behind them, and see
with their own eyes the terrible
straits of the Southern people, and
learn by personal communication
their feelings and wishes, we believe
that the result could not fail to give
wise direction to Congressional legis-
lation."

s.Punishmcnt of Treason

A bill was reported in the House
of Representatives, by Mr.. Lawrence,
Of Ohio, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, repeating provisions of the
law of April, 1890, so as to prevent
treason and capital offences from
being barred by the statute of limit
alton, when MIR. Rogers, Demo
crat,) of New Jersey, delivered the
following manly address against the
bill:
There We're serious objections to
tho passage of q law Of this kind, not
only on questions Of policy, but on
questions oflaw. It would be within
the meaningof the Constitution an e.c
post .fdcto law. 1t was against the
genius Of the republic, and against
the spirit OF our Institutions The
time had come when people should
turn their hearts from bloody war to
the contemplation of peace, and when
Congress should begin to legislate as
well for the benefit OF the South as Of
the North. The people of the South
were being trodden down by Con-
gressional tyranny, which he thought
would be q reasonable excuse for re-
bellion. He protested against ty-
ranny and despotism in every shape,
and he warned the people of the
United States that their liberties were
about to be taken away by set of
crazy fanatics, who had been sent
here, as they supposed, by the will
OF the people, for the purpose of
trampling the Constitution under
foot, and depriving the people Of
their rights and liberties. He was
Tor amnesty and general pardon, and
there were men in the Republican
party who we're for the same. Horace
Greedy, the leading white Of the
Black Republican party, was for
general amnesty and general suffrage,
and if he could not get general suf-
fraSe, then'he was for general amnesty.
Horace Greel Y. had offered to so bail
for Jefferson Davis, and wanted him
released from imprisonment. The
conduct of Congress was worse than
that Of the Long Parliament of Eng
land. 1t was such as disgraced and
degraded the people Of the country.
Laughter all over the House. So
long as God Almighty gave him
breath, he would raise his voice
against such despotic conduct. The
whole object of legislation here ap-
peared to be to punish the South.
The first principle of charity or mag
nanlmlty had not been extended to
the South, except by few. None of
the late rebel States were represented
IN Congress except Tennessee, and
that was State which had no repub-
lican form of Government, but was
governed by q despotism. The people
of the South were now in the same
condition that made the American
colonies rebel against the mother
country-heing compelled to submit
to taxation without representation.

WooLEN MANUFACTURES IN THE
WEST. The st. Louis Republican has
the following notice of the Eagle
Woolen Mill, in operation in that
city:
''The extensive establishment
largest West Of the Allegheny Noun
tains-is five stories high, and sixty
feet in width by $50 in length. The
machinery is all new, and of the most
elegant and complete description,
embracing the very latest improve
ments. 1t employs $50 hands, and
is prepared to furnish additional
work at any time to any number of
good weavers, at good wages. The
amount of wool consumed by it an
nually is from 100000 to 200, 900
pounds, and farmers will always get
the highest cash price for it. The
mill runs 1850 spindles, which can
turn out 100000 yards of cloth, cas-
simere, fannels, blankets, &C., per
year. Some specimens of its fine
cloths, which we saw, are quite equal
to any imported fabrics, and show
that American manufacturers can
compete with any in the world"
1t is by such establishments, that
st. Louis is destined to become. ere
long. the chief manufacturing city OF
the United States, and we cordially
wish it all prosperity.

The ENGLISH ROYAL Family

The ENGLISH ROYAL FAAuLY.-A
London letter, of October 20, SAYS:
Her Majesty: who has enjoyed her
Highland holiday very much, and is
iii very good health, intends return
ing to Windsor Castle on orabout the
Sd of November next. Preparations
are already being made there for her
reception. The Prince and Princess
of Wales have been at Marlborough
House, during the past week. They
came back thus early to town to re-
ceive visit from the King and Queen
of Denmark, who have been passing
a few days with their royal daughter
and son-in-law. The visit is of a
strictly personal nature, SO that their
Danish Majesties were not received
with any OF the customary honors.
The Duke Of Edinburg, who often
goes by the name of ''the sailor
Prince" is about to set up ship of
his own. He has purchased the we'll
known schooner yacht Viking, which
forms one Of the Royal Yacht Squad
ron, and it is said that he intends to
take to yachting with as much zeal
BUSINESS as his elder brother exhibits
in hunting.

1t is said that the Government

18th inst, granted the State Depart
ment q considerable sum Of money
with which to prosecute these suits to
o conclusion; and also, to defray the
expenses OF hunting up and capturing
John FL. Surratt.

The Richmond Dispatch says: Rev.
John A. Broadus, of Greenville, S.

President or with CONGRESS? Thaus the quas-
ton, and the only question, which anybody
thinks it orth wolfe TO raise.
N,ris e allowed to have any opinions of bis
own which do not agree wi one or the other
OF these Contending factions. Either The Presi-
deut must be wholly aud entirely right, or
utterly and Intentionally wrong; either Con-
press must be supported or denounced, without
qualification, modification, or reservation OF any
sort: or else the unucky man who ventures 10
form and express an opinion on the slDJect Is
set down as being on both sides as holdlne Two
or three opinions, or yaci'latlng from Que
side TO the other, from some dishonest anu us
graceful motive - probably because ne Is u
''Rebel al heart" or else because ne Is III pur-
suit of 'bread and butter"
All this is nexpressbly narrow aud intolerant
ard when applied to such man as Mr.. Beecner
# is insulting and arrogant. Mr.. BeecheT is

cal topics, worthy OF respect, rs the grogsnop

Law down the law of party action Tor oDedlent
journalists and whippersln. His opinions are
quite as likely TO be disinterested as those OF
the writer's in the World; and his rlght 10 form
and utter them would seem to be quite as clear
and unmistakable. But unless he echoes the catch
words OF party unless he repeats, parr0t-ISe,
SIS creeds and declarations OF falth-unleSs he
exalts It's supporters and viliies and denounces
all who hesitate at any OF its enormltes, he ls
himself branded q traitor and held up to
general scnTn and contempt. We are not in the
least surprised at tn in the World, but we look
for better things in the Boston DAILY AdUerf,ser.
A party which can tolerate no independence
o. opinion cannot long maintain its ascendancy.
Certainly party which cannot permit man
like Mr.. Beecher to express his opinions freely
on pu bllc affairs, without binding himself to a
rigid and inheXlble adhesion 10 some special
party, or faction, or man, does not deserve a
success which il would certainly degrade and
abuse.

Tyranny of Party.
From the Times

from We Itnes.
The Boston DailsI Advertiser, commenting on
Mr.. Beecher's recent political action, says;--
'When Mr.. Beechers Cleveland letter APP
peared, it was understood by its general tenor
that the writer opposed Congress and desired to
be enrolled among the friends of the Pre-
sident Then came the letter to Plymouth
Church, and here Mr.. Beecher expressly de.
claTed that he occupied a position midway
between the President and Congress, that he
would not become partisan, and that be would
adhere to his opinions. On Monday evening
MIR. Beecher delivered an elaborate address al
the Brooklyn Academy of Music before large
assembly of his ellow-citizens, and here he ad-
yocated the principles of the Republican party
so plainly and emphatically that he received the
hearty endorsement OF even the editor OF the
Independent who spoke after him"
And the World appends the characteristic argu-
ment' Here is Mr.. Beecher occupying three
different positions in as many weeks. This is q
fair illustration of the style of criticism applied
nowadays by political journalists to public men
Not word as to the principles which MIR
Beecher maintains; not syllable as to wbetbe,

From the Tribune

From the JftOUHe
sydney Smith once said of dinner party that
ut was remarkable for several brilliant hashe5
of silence:" and in the same way we may affirm
that the President has illustrated his personal
annals by not making speech When the great
temperance procession the other day, pald MIN
the honor of marching salute, ne merely
''bowed his Acknowledgements" H. upon ms

Perhaps he was struck dumb by tue extra
ordinary circumstance of temperance process
sion calling upon himself, and feared, Ii he
gave his visitors the smallest announcement,
that they would bring out the pledge and ask
him TO sign it, But we VIII not speculate
unon motives. We accept the encouraging
TACT. The President might have made speech;
he did not make speech; and he is ent
tied 10 the credit of his reticence. One who

THE HUBBARD COMBINED
M 0 WI Err AND REAPER,
DORSEY SELF RAKE.

DORSEY SELF RAKE.
This valuable patent having been bought by
the "Syracuse Self Raker Co.," and several
valuable improvements added to il by years of
experiment, is now known as the SYRACUSE
SELF RAKER," and after an experience Of
three harvests in experimenting ourselves in
all kinds of grain from the shortest oats and
barley to the tallest rye, and on the toughest
ground and steepest side hill, we have found
the "Syracuse Self Raker" infalfible in work
as well as the most simple and convenient of
any Rake in existence. There are several Self
Raking machines in the market, which without
any legal right to use the Dorsey, embrace it's
leading principles with slight variations in con-
structon, but in none of them is the element of
it to all conditions of grain, heavy and light,
making it necessary in almost every case to
either double or divide bundles, which is both
expensive and troublesome
We warrant this Combined Machine to be as
good mower as the
HUBBARD LIGHT MOWER,
for which we claim the following advantages I:
lst.-It has proved itself to be the lightest
draft Mower ever made.
2d.-It has fully proved itself to be the most
successful Mower in cutting the marshes of the
great West.
3d-It is the only machine that can stop and
start in wet and tangled grass.
4th.-The only successful double drive Wheel
Mower in the country.
5th.-It is acknowledged by all to be the most
simple, durable and easily managed in the
world, and is the only successful ono for NOW
ing uneven surfaces, stumpy or uneven land.
If you have single doubt, call on one of our
agents, get a machine, try it, and if it does not
suit you, take it back.
