in the government refused representation,
in defiance of the solemn guarantees Of the
compact of union. The Constitution is held
as a rope of sand. assailed, divided and tram

of retaining political power in the hands of
set of Jacobin desperadoes who were
thrown to the surface as the scum Of the
revolution, and who disgrace, the Offices they
hold.
Every check and balance Of the Constitu-
ton is wantonly thrust aside. The attemps
is going on to destroy all power in the Exec
utiye and Judicial departments, and concen-
trate it in the hands of Congress The re-
served rights Of the States are contemned; !;
the creature has become greater than the
creator; the President is threatened with
impeachment, and the Supreme Court with
emasculation. Barrier after barrier between
the rights of the people and absolute des-
potic power is falling before the fierce on
slaughts of the uuprincipled men who now
control the legislative department How long

Infallible Rules for Measuring Corn
in the Crib.
IF MEASURED IN FEET

IF MEASURED IN FEET:
L SHUCKED CoRN.-Measure the length
width and depth of the crib in feet multi
ply these three dimensions together, and
their product by S; then cut off two figures
to the right; those on the left viii be so many
barrels, and those cut off so many hundredths
of a barrel
II. UNsHUoKED CoRN-Multiply the three
dimensions in feet as in Rule l. and their
product by 5 2-3; cut two figures to the right,
and the result viii be barrels, as in Rule l.
IF MEASURED IN INCHES:
Ill SHUCKED CoRN-Take the dimensions
in inches and multiply them together; take
one half of the product, and divide it by
2l50, and you have the bushels of shelled
corn, which divide by to reduce to barrels.
" UNsHUCKED Co N-Multiply the di-
mensions as in Rule 3, and then take one
third of their product, and divide it by 2l50,
and the result will be as In Rule 3.
These Rules have been often put to the
most critical tests by the most thorough as
well as the most practical mathematicians of
the southwest, and the people using them
may rely upon their being accurately correct.

The nert CoRgress.-It is generally con-
ceded that the next Congress will meet, by
law, on the 4th day of March The terms
of the present members from our State will
expire on the day previous, which creates
the necessity for law authorizing special
election. We presume the Legislature will
pass such a law. In that connection we no
tiee that the Bolivar Bulletin suggests the
name of our present able and efficient rep
resentative, Hon. Jno. w. LeftWick, for re-
election We can conceive of no objection
that can be offered to this distinguished gen
tleman- His political status is well known,
and is satisfactory to the constituency who
returned him. He possesses industry, en-
ergy and ability, and win labor at all times,
and under all circumstances, for the interest
of the people who have trusted him. We
presume there Is no serious intention of
contesting his election. Other gentlemen
there may be who are equally as able and
patriotic, but it is due to him to accord a re-
election to one who has exhibited so much
disposition and earnestness in serving his
constituents, and against whom no man can
bring suspicion Of infdelity or a charge of
ineficiency We think it due to Mr.. Left
wick that we should frankly inGite these
words of tribute to his capacity as Repre-
sentative. In doing 50, we express the hope
that all may harmonic in giving to him that
support and that confidence which be has

Facts about Tobacco.-There is no climate
where tobacco is not used, no nationality
which has not adopted it European, Turk,
Chinaman, Indian, African and Cannibal
Islander, all use this wonderful vegetable.
Botanists state that there are forty distinct
species of this weed, which seems highly
probable. The weed was first introduced
into France in 1900, and since that time has
gradually come into use among all nations
The total annual production of tobacco has
been estimated at ?, 100000 tons. The whole
amount of wheat consumed annually IN the
British islands is four and one-third millions
Of tons, SO that the tobacco burned and
chewed in the world annually weighs nearly
as much as the wheat used to feed the pOpu-
lation of Great Britain

On1inoats nescs from Europe-The threat
eTed Destruction Of Ittrkey-PrOSpect Of a
General Wdr.-Dhe cable announcement
that the Turks have made levy of 10000
troops to suppress the Greek revolt, confirm
the previous news that the insurrection of
the Greek subjects Of Turkey, which began
IN Crete, was spreading, and had broken out
In several of the insular dependencies in the
Archipelago, as we'll as in Thessaly. In fact,
the whole Of the Greek subjects Of the Sui
tan, as well as the population of the Greek
kingdom itself are thoroughly excited and
aroused by their sympathy with the strug-
Cling Cretans, and it seems impossible to
restrain them longer from taking part in the
war against the Turks.
But it is not only in the Greek portions Of
the Turkish Empire that the spirit of revo-
slution is rife We have a dispatch to-day
that an insurreetiOn is on the point of break
ing out in the Province of Bosnia and we
learn by the latest mail from Europe that
Roumania and Servia are preparing for the
Opportunity-which the present insurrec-
tionary movements will give them-tO shake
off the last shadow of allegiance to the power
that rules at Constantinople In fact, in
every part of European Turkey, and among
all its Christian peoples, Sclavonian as well
as Hellenic, there is an agitation which is
too profound, and has already gone too far,
and covers too much surface, to have any
other ending than in such a war as win break
down and smash up the tottering Turkish
Empire.

the most critical he has seen during all
