CoHsuMPTroN OF SNArLs IN PARIS. The
consumption Of the escuryot, or common
snail, has within the last few years increas-

they enter into serious competition with

covered with linen veil, into his presence,

been kept ready for the purpose, and strikes
his daughter once or twice, saying :-"Lo !!

E- The decision by the U. S.
Supreme Court in the matter of the
application of the State of Georgia
for an Injunction to restrain Secretary
Stanton, Gen, Grant and Gen. Pope
from carrying into effect the Recon
struction Acts of Congress, is very
important at this time, because it IN
dicates that the Judges of that high
tribunal do not intend to tarnish
their judicial records by giving de-
cisions on matters which are not
properly within the scope of their
duties. The application was dis
missed on the sole ground that the
issue involved was a political one,
and therefore one with which the
Judiciary department of the Govern
ment has nothing to do. The unan-
unity of the decision in this case
creates a strong presumption that
other matters which have been
brought before the Court for the
purpose of getting q decision on
questions purely political will meet
with the same fate.--Cin. Gazette.

The Election Fraud in Ports.
mouth.

Our readers will remember the
notable fraud committed in the first
ward Of Portsmouth, at the election
last fall, whereby over fifty Repub-
lican votes were taken from the bal
lot-box and democratic votes substi-
tuted. The democrats denied being
the perpetrators of the fraud, pro-
fessed great horror over it, and ap-
peared anxious to have the guilty
ones brought to punishment. 1t is
now proven that the leaders knew
all about it, and were, indeed, the
guilty ones themselves.
Aaron Noel, the democratic can
didate for County Treasurer, who
was elected by means of this and
other frauds, was on the witness
stand few days since, and was rigid
ly examined as to his knowledge OF
the author or authors of the fraud,
and he implicated person by the
name of Higgins. Noel testified
that Higgins told him of the fraud
on the night of the election! Noel,
it seems, kept "mum" on the subject,
until the fact was forced from him
on the witness stand! What hor-
rer he must have of frauds!
Higgins is prominent democrat
In Portsmouth, having some years
since been the candidate of that par
ty for Justice of the Peace. Hig-
gins was arrested, and. after an ex-
animation before Justice, where
the testimony of Noel was confirmed
by another witness, he was bound
over to answer to the Common Pleas
Court.
The democracy, last fall, seem to
have been generally engaged in the
business of frauds upon the ballot
box. Here, the plan was somewhat
different from that in Portsmouth,
but in both cases the means used
and end sought were the samoan
attempt to cheat the majority out ol
their rights as such. by the means OF
illegal votes.

Speech of Hon. J. T. Wilson.

We have received a copy of a speech
delivered in Congress by our Represen-
tative, Hon. j. T. WILSON, on the all inn
portant question of finances. This
question of our finances, and the mode
of paying the National debt, is one of
great difficulty, and has given birth to
many theories for its proper solution, a
few good, but very many bad or indif-
ferent. But Mr.. Wilson's plan as de-
veloped in this speech, has much good
sound sense in it, and commends itself
to the reason of any one, who studies
it, as calculated to settle our financial
troubles, if not in the best, at least in a
safe and satisfactory way. We regret
that we have not space to publish the
speech full as we would be glad to
have it read by every citizen of Gallia
county. We can only give brief sum
mary and extracts, however.
Mr.. Wilson, steering between those
who are for forcing specie payment,
and a funded debt of long standing, and
the reckless advocates of unlimited
greenbacks, holds that specie payment
should not be forced on the country,
before it is prepared for it. and advo-
Gates a general and early payment of
our national debt. He expresses his
views on the leading questions Of finan-
cial policy. advocating the payment of
bonds in gold. if so expressed in the
contract, but if the contract is silent on
this point, in lawful money. He also
