Henry Clay ON 6 Tenure of
Office,1,

We call the attention of cold Clay
Whigs," many of whom are now so
conservative, " to the following section
of a bill introduced, Tor at least sus-
tained,) by Clay in Congress on the
18th of February, 1885:
"Be 1t further enacted, That in all
instances of appointment to Office by the
President, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, the power of re-
movsl shall be exercised in concurrence
with the Senate; and when the Senate
is not in session, the President may sus-
pend any such officer, communicating
his reasons for the suspension during
the next session, and if the Senate con-
cur with him the officer shall be re-
moved, but if it do not concur with
him the officer shall be restored to
office"
This is almost in the language of the
present "Tenure of Office" bill, so stren-
uously attacked as unconstitutional, yet
its enactment thirty years ago, was sus-
tanned by such statesmen as Clay and
Webster, as a reference to the debates
in Congress of that day will show.
There are so many who can remember
the history of the world but for month
or two, that we deem it proper to refer
to this fact to show that the principle
involved in that law is not ga new
thing under the sum- Cleveland
Leader.

NewspaDer Decisions.

The following legal decisions in rela-
ton to newspapers, from the highest
authorities, we wish every postmaster
and every subscriber to newspaper
throughout the country, would take
the trouble to read carefully:
l. A postmaster is required to give
notice by letter returning the paper
does not answer the law when a
subscriber does not take his paper from
the office, and state the reason for its
not being taken; and a neglect to do
so makes the postmaster responsible to
the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper
regularly from the postoffice, whether
directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is
responsible for the payment.
8. If a person orders bis paper dis
continued he must pay all arrearages,
or the publisher may continue to send
it until payment is made, and collect
the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the office or not.
4. Ifa subscriber orders his paper to
be stopped at a certain time, and the
publisher continues to send it, the sub
srciber is bound to pay for it if he
takes it out of the post office. The law
proceeds on the ground that man
must pay for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take newspapers aud periodi-
cpls from the post office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facie evidence of intentional fraud.

CoIored Congressmen.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes as follows:
3" Many people, both North and South,
are much puzzled by the question as to
whether we shall have colored Con-
gressmen or not. By reading the Con-
stitution they viii find this question
definitely settled. 1t provides that no
person can be Senator who has not
been nine years citizen of the United
States, nor any person Representa-
tive who has not been seven years a
citizen. 1t makes little difference, at
present, whether the citizenship of the
blacks dates from the proclamation of
emancipation or from the abolition of
slavery by the Congress. At least two
years must yet elapse before any Rep
resentative of color can be admitted to
the halls of Congress.

Population of the World.

In the first volume of DR.. Behm's
Geographical Annu0l, lately published
at Gotha, there is an interesting article
on the population of the earth. This
was estimated by Busching, in 1887,
at 1000, ,OOo,O 900; by Fsbi and Stein,
in 1900, at 100000, 900; by Horschel-
man, in 1888, at s72,OOO,OO0; by Die
terici, in 1858, at 1928, 100000; and
by Kolb, in 1865, at 1920, 100000.
DR.. Behm estimates it at 1850, 100000,
thus distributed Europe, 285,0o0, 900;
Asia, 796, 600, 900; Australia and Poly
nesia, S,s5O,OOO; Africa, 1ss,OOo,O0o; };
and America "A, 100000. At the same
time he acknowledges that it is impos-
sible to arrive at anything more than an
approximate notion of the population
in Asia and Africa, there being no cen
sus OF other accurate means of ascer-
tanning the number of inhabitants in
those continents.

A Democratic Outrage,

On Wednesday of last week, Hon.
Thomas c. Jones, Senator in the Ohio
Legislature from the Sth district, was
elected from his seat by the Democratic
majority, and his place given to Henry
NJ. Onderdonk, his Democratic COM
petitor. The Commercial fitly says:
"The pretext for thus oustiDg the
chosen representative of the people of
the Eighth Senatorial District is, that
bis majority was composed of votes cast
by persons having a visible admixture
of African blood, the decision of the
State Supreme Court that such persons
in whom white blood predominates are
legal voters under the constitution, be-
ing ignored or defed. Acts of this
character are utterly defensible, on the
poor plea of present expediency. They
are as atrocious in principle, and sure
to prove as proftless to their perpetra-
tors, as raising the black flag in war.
Self-interest, as well as self-respect
should impel all parties to unite in re-
|pudiating precedents so pregnant with
mischief"

sEI,ve Done the Same Thing,
Often,

A Mr.. John Smith, who is described,
evidently without reason, as 'fast"
taIker, gave the following description
of the EOwing up of steamboat on
the Mississippi: 81 landed at Helena
for a minute to drop some letters into
the postofice, when all of a sudden |
heard a tremendous explosion, and
looking up, saw that the sky was for a
minute darkened with arms, legs and
other small bits and scraps of my fellow
travellers. Amongst an uncommon
ugly medley l spied the second clerk,
about one hundred and fifty feet above
nv own level. l. recognized him at
once, for ten minutes before l had
been sucking a sherry cobbler with
him out of the same tumbler. He
came down through a shoemaker's
shop, and landed on the floor close by
the shoemaker, who was at work. The
clerk, being in hurry to go to the as
sistance of the other sufferers, jumped
up to 60, when the "man of wax" de-
manded five hundred dollars for the
damages done to his roof. 'Too high"
replied the clerk, "never paid more
than two hundred and fifty dollars in
my life, and Tve done the same thing
often"

for Lincoln on the home vote was only
2,182; and with the soldiers vote ad-
ded it was but 1000. AT this prelimi-
naro battle fought on Tuesday, the Re
publican majority is but few hundred
short of that given in 1864 for Lincoln,
inclusive of the vote returned from
the field by the soldiers. Impeachment
and reconstruction are thus triumph
antly sustained and endorsed in the old
Jacksonian and Democratic State of
New Hampshire.
This magnificent victory, won against
such fearful odds and adverse circum-
stances, determines the result next fall,
and ensures the State to General Grant
by more than double the present ma
jority. The thanks of the Republican
party of the Union are due to the noble,
unpurchasable, steadfast freemen of
the Granite State.-C Chicago Tribune.

Wanted-A Printer,

Wanted--A Printer, says an adver-
tiser. Wanted, a mechanical curiosity,
with brain and fipgers-a thing that
will set so many type day-a ma
chine that will think and act, but still
a machine being who undertakes
the most systematic and monotonous
drudgery, yet one that the ingenuity
of man has never supplanted mechan-
ically. That's Printer.
A Printer yet for all his sometimes
dissipated and reckless habits, a work
er at all times and hours, day and
night, sitting up in close and un-
wholesome office, when gay crowds are
hurrying to the theatres later still,
when the street jewellers are gone and
the city sleeps, in the fresh air of the
morning, in the broad and gushing
sunlight, some printer is at his case,
with his eternal and unvarying click
click!
Click Click! the polished types fall
into the stick; the mute integers are
marshalled into line, and march forth
as immortal print. Click and the la
test intelligence becomes old: thought
principle; simple lead living senti-
ment.
Click! click! from grave to gay, of
scandle, a graceful and glowing senti-
ment, are in turn closed by the mute
and impressive fingers of the machine,
and set adrift in the sea of thought. He
must not think of the future, nor recall
the past; must not think of home, of
kindred, of wife, nor of baby; his work
lies before him, and thought is chained
to his copy.
You know him by his works, as
your eyes rest upon those mute evi-
dences of his ceasel9ss toll. Cores
pon1ents, authors and advisers, who
scorn the simple medium of your fame,
think not that he is Indifferent to the
gem of which he is but setter; sub
tile ray may penetrate the recesses of
his brain, or the flowers be gathers
may leave some of the fragrance upon
the toil-worn fingers. But when you
seek a friend, companion, adviser
when you want Judges, Legislators,
Governors and Presidents-O, We peo-
pie, advertise:

With few exceptions, everything the
farmer produces brings good round
profit on the cost of production, show
ing that the business can be safely ex-
tended. We think, as a rule, our
Northern farmers do not employ as
much labor as they ought to make
their business profitable. They are
content to run along, just supporting
their families, when they might do
this and have handsome surplus by
using more labor. 1t costs very little
more brain-work to direct the labor of
six men than the labor of one. If
there is profit in in hiring one man,
there is six times the profit in hiring
six, other things being equal. Of
course it requires more capital and
more care. There can be no doubt
that farming pays with present prices,
and we hold that land is profitable
just as we expend labor and capital
upon it. If any man has any doubt
upon that point, let him plant an acre
of corn, applying fifty dollars worth of
stable manure, and giving thorough
cultivation, and compare the result
with little or no manure and poor cul-
tivation. Labor is much higher than
it used to be, but farm crops sell
enough higher to make up the differ
ence, and leave margin for profit.
We have no doubt that multitudes
of our skilltiul farmers would greatly
improve their fortunes by using more
labor and enlarging their business.
They have skill enough and capital
enough, if it were put in the right
place. The markets show clearly
enough that we want more hay and
grain, more beef and butter, more pota-
toes and poultry, and that all corn crops
pay well for raising. The manufactu-
rer and merchant are very much in
doubt about their ventures now, and
some are failing. The farmer has no
solicitude of this kind. He may extend
his business and thrive. Get skillful
labor if it can be had, but if not, use
tie emigrant. Many who come over
have been trained to farm labor, and
very soon adapt themselves to our
methods. If the farmer can be in the
field with bis help the most of the
time, skill s.of less importance. One
of the best hands we ever had began
work with us the day after he landed,
and stayed with US six years. If a
green hand has aptness he will acquire
skill, and after few months will be as
serviceable at most kinds of work as
the best hand. There is no difficulty
in getting emigrant labor, in any guam
tity, and at reasonable prices. Thous-
ands of them come to our shores every
month, and are eager to secure places.
Give them a chance to earn their
bread, and to make homes for them
selves upon land of their own.-Amer-
ican Agrieultwalist.

The New Hampshire Victory.

The result of the New Hampshire
election is a sad, bitter disappointment
to the Copper-rebel party, South as well
as North, and on no one does the blow fall
more severely than on the apostate who
stands indicted before the bar of the
Senate for "high crimes and misde-
meanors." The people of the West lit
tie know of the efforts made by the
Copperheads to wrest that State out of
the hands of the Republicans. Fed
eral patronage was employed to the ut
most. Every officeholder was obliged
to work for the election of the Copper
head ticket with all his might, or sub
init to dismissal. Secretaries McCul-
loch and Welles, and Postmaster Ran
dali, used their whole official influence
against us. At the Portsmouth Navy
Yard every workman was compelled to
support the Copperhead nominees on
pain of discharge; every alien was
hunted up and naturalized, and many
imported for that purpose. All sorts
of appeals were made to the liquor in
terest, and whatever party capital could
be grubbed out of the humbug of pay
ling off the national debt in greenbacks
was derived from that source. But
this was not all. A black mail assess
ment was levied on every ofiiceholder
in the Atlantic States, from Washing
ton to Bangor, to raise money, and tens
of thousands of dollars were thus pro-
cured. The rich men of the party bled
Iprofusely, and the municipal office
holders of that corrupt and disloyal city
disgorged immense sums. John Nor
rissey is said to have given his check
for $4,000, and Belmont for twice that
sum, and other magnates in proportion
to their means. The money was used
to perfect the organization of their par
lty; bring to the polls the last vote pos
sible; buy back those who had left them
and to purchase any venal Republicans
who were in the market at whatever
price they might depand. Any Re
publican could get from one to two
hundred dollars for his vote; it was
standing offer.
The excitement ran high; meetings
were nightly harangued in every vii
lage and school district; scores of
stumpers were imported from abroad,
and documents, handbills and roor-
backs were scattered over the State
thicker than fallen leaves in October.
1t was deemed absolutely essential to
the future prospects of the Copperhead
party elsewhere that New Hampshire
should be carried at all hazards and at
whatever cost. 1t was the opening
gun of the campaign. If the State
was won it would be Justly claimed as
popular condemnation of impeach-
ment and of the Republican plan of re-
construction. Hence the necessity of
success. What then must have been
the chagrin and disappointment of the
Copperhead leaders when the crushing
news came to them on Tuesday night
that they were routed horse, foot and
dragoons,- and that too by as large
majority as they were beaten last year,
when they did not half try to win.
At the Presidential election of 1864,
when the political current ran strongly
on the Republican side, the majority

THE RIVER OF TIME.

Oh, wonderful stream is the river Of Time,
As it runs through the realms of tears,
With a faultless rhythm and musical
rhyme,
Aad broad ming sweep, and surge sub
lime,
That blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of
snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the year is the sheaf-so they come and
they go,
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it glides through the shadow and
sheen.
There's musical isle on the river Of Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And a song as sweet as vesper chime,
When the Junes with the roses are staying
And the name of this isle is Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there
There are brows of beauty and bosoms oi
There are heaps of dust but we love them
There are triukets and tresses Of hair.
There are fragments Of songs that nobody
sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and harp without
strings
There are broken vows and pieces of rings
And the garment that she used 10 wear.
There are bands that are waved when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air
Aud we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar
Sweet voices, we heard in days gone before
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remembered for aye be that blessed
isle,
All the days of our life till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closed to slumber a while
May our greenwood " of soul be in sight

TIE Boston Journal Of Chemistry says that
pencil writing may be fixed almost as indel-
iibly as ink by passing the moistened tongue
over it. Even breathing slowly over the
lines, after writing, renders them much less
liable to erasure than when not subjected to
that process.
