The Davenport Gazette says"A poor GRIP
ple ex.soldier whose name we were unable
to learn, was going about our streets yester-
day on his knees, trying to and some U. s.
surgeon to amputate his limbs, both OF
which are Notifying, and are black as Tar
mn "a the knee. He said he had come from
California, that he has papers from the Ad'
iu.ant General of that state, showing that he
| served in the late war against the rebels
that he had been directed. to Adjutant Gen.
Baker at Des Moines, who sent him here with
letters to Post No. ! G. A. R.; that he could
find neither G. A. r., or U. s. sergeon to
amputate his legs. He had just secured an
express wagon to take him over to the
arsenal on the Island. lie is German anc
we presume that his anxiety to have hi
legs taken off arises from the consciousness
that that alone may save his life, as TIT
modification is gradually extending up

HOW NOT TO UNDO IT.

The New York Times in recent issue
expressed the apprehension that the outgoing
Congress would let the present session stand
as an example of chow not to do it." 1t
would have been q great blessing to the coun-
try if legislative assemblies, both State and
National, had, from the beginning down to
this day. studied assiduously show not to do
it" as the paramount consideration to be con-
suited in their deliberations But, in the face
of the immense accumulation of laws that
were conceived either in folly or wickedness,
of laws that are both superfuous and per-
nicious, the supreme study of Legislative
wisdom-if there be such quality extant in
concrete form-becomes, instead of show
not to do it," how to undo it.
The one formula is the logical
sequence Of the other, and in fundamental
principle signifies the same thing. Whether
the first or the last should be adopted as a
rule depends upon the accomplished facts of
legislation. If they constitute a statutary
heap of trash and corrupt and noxious mat
tiers, then the instincts of depraved legisla-
ture will tend inevitably to the perversion of
a good general maxim by setting an example
of show not to do it AS Congress has done
in the session just expiring. at had
choice" says the New York Times, "of sew
eral plans of action on converting last Decem-
ber-to push through good legislation-to
push through bad legislation, or to give both
good and bad the eo-by. and to do as little
general legislation as was conveniently posi-
ble." Now it would have required something
like supernatural genius for evil to devise
worse than the past legislation of Congress
over the whole field of public af-
fairs, financial, civil and political !;
and that body seems to have
lost its ready communication with the cacode-
monial world since the departure of its great
medium Thaddeus so it very naturally chose
the last Of the three courses mentioned in the
Times 1t could not conveniently do worse,
and it concluded to turn conservative and
confine its ambition to the work of maintain
ing the superlatively bad. This point it has
carried, as might have been expected, for
there is no conservatism so tenacious as the
conservatism of the successful Radical who
has in his clutches the spoils of revolution
and usurpation. And it may also be expected
that the Radical portion of the next Congress
will be equally conservative in the way of re-
sisting measures of reform, and will be
equally sssiduous to set an example of
how not to do it" in so far as
such an example may illustrate the rule of
how not to undo it In short, it will be in
spite of the strenuous opposition of the Rad
icalism which will transmigrate from the out
going into the incoming Congress, if the tenure
of Office law which organizes civil corruption
and inefieiency, if the protective tariff which
plumbers the masses and repels commerce, if
the internal revenue system which for every
dollar that it pays to the government with
