The Two Bayards.

l WILMINGTON, Delaware, January 49,
James A. Bayard was elected to-day by
the Delaware Legislature US United States
Senator, to serve until March 4, and his
son, Thomas Bayard, for the full term OF
six years from that date"
Says the New York Tribune of the TWEEN.

| In the State of Delaware there occurred
yesterday an election without parallel in
the history of the country. On the same
day, and by the same body, father and
bis son were both elected to the United
States Senate. The nearest approach to
this Eeaping of honors upon successive
generations is in the Adams family, but
there long interval occurred between the
advancement of the different members to
| the same Office.
The Hon. James A. Bayard. now holding
a seat in the United States Senate by exc
cutive appointment, was yesterday elected
by the Legislature of Delaware to serve
ont the term which expires on the fourth
of March next, and his son, Thomas Bay
ard, was chosen on the same day for full
term OF six years, commencing on the
fourth of March with the Forty-first Con-
The BayardS are a notable family IN Della
ware, and arc said by malicious persons to
carry the little State in the family pocket.
James A. Bayard, the father of the present
Senator OF the same name, emigrated from
Delaware to Pennsylvania in 1896, and APP
peared the following year in Congress from
that State, where he gained n high reputa-
tion asia constitutional orator and champi.
on of the federal administration of John
Adams. Subsequently he served two
terms in the United States Senate, and
was one of the commissioners sent out to
negotiate treasy of peace with England
in 1913. James A. Bayard, the present
Senator, is an eminent lawyer. and served
with distinction in the United States SEN
ate from 1851 to 1864. He was elected for
still another full term, but resigned his
seat in January 1864. In April, 1867, he
was appointed by the Governor of Della
ware to fill a vacancy caused by the death
of George R. Riddle, and has served to the
present time under that appointment.
During the war Mr. Bayard was courtly
Copperhead. He is a man of much intel
lcctual power. and great dignity of charac-
ter-one who wears the Senatorial honors
as though created especially for him.
Thomas Bayard is the son of his father,
and, like him, has the reputation of being
q clever lawyer. We believe he has not
yet achieved greatness in the domain of
politics. Both the Senators Bayard are, of
course, Democrats. of dignifed, conserva-
tive, but ultra typo.

ALEXANDRIA, La:

D The New Orleans Deutsche lei
tung, speaking of the election of Carl
Schurz to the Senate of the United
States, says, "Schurz is the first native
German and the first foreign born citi-
zen of the United States that ever sat
In the Senate Our German contem-
porary is mistaken. While Mr.. Schurz
may be the first German, there have
been several other foreigners who have
been elected to the Senate. Mr.. AL
bert Gallatin who was native of Swift
zerland, was elected to the Senate from
Pennsylvania in 1893, but his seat was
vacated the next year by a resolution
of the Senate, because he had not re-
sided in the United States the nine
years required by the Constitution
General Shields who was Senator
from Illinois and afterwards from Min
nesota, was born in Ireland. Of the
Senators from our own State Judge
Porter was an Irishman and Mr.. Soule
land, we believe, Mr.. Destrehan also)
a Frenchman. We would here remark
that we have the misfortune to differ
very materially with the Zeitung on
the subject of General Schurz's qualif-
cations for seat in the United States
Senate. III. i

Report Of the Board Of Registration.

We acknowledge, says the n. O. Bee,
the attention OF George A. Fosdick,
Esq. 10 sending US copy Of the report of
the Board of Registration to the Legisla-
ture Of the State. We may hereafter ex-
anime this document, but in the meantime
We can publish only the addendum or min
ority report, made by MIR. Fosdick. 1t ia
we'll known that Mr.. FOsdick was one of
the three members Of the Board, and that
on account ofhis connection with the
Democratic party, he was out-voted ind
overborne in the Board by his colleagues,
Messrs. Baker and Ferguson, whose sole
mission seemed to be to turn everything
to the advantage of the Republican party,
Mr.. F0sdick is by birth Northern man.
His testimony cannot therefore be rejected
on the ground of that Partially, which
might be charged against native South
ern man.
Mr.. Fosdick in his minority report:
II concur in the above report only go
far as the figures show the result of regis
tration, and the expenses incurred in &C
comprising the same. 1t is we'll known
that was deprived by the majority of the
Board Of all voice in the selection Of Reg
istration, and that they we're selected en-
tirely from the ranks Of the Republican
party. ard that the rules, as prepared by
the majority Of the Board Of Registrars for
the guidance of Supervisors, necesitated
Q public protest from me. In fact, Mr..
Baker stated to Governor Warmoth, in
presence ofour entire Board, that it was
the intention Of the majority not to show
any favor to the Democratic party, and, to
use his own expression, to crush them out
if possible.
THAT every impeachment was thrown in
the way of the white people to prevent
them from registering is wella known to all
and it was only after legal process was in
voked that the Supervisors reluctantly con-
sensented to do them justice. / believe
that every man, white or black, had an OPP
portunity to register, and that he could DO
so without molestation, and the best an
swer to the averments of the majority of
this Board, as to acts Of intimidation and
violence, is the undisputed fact that not
one OF their appointees has been in any
manner injured orr even attacked. The
election for Presidential Electors, held
Immediately after the close of registration
was one OF the most peaceful ever held in
the State. and every man, white and col
ored could have voted if he so desired; that
the colOrcd men in some of the parishes
did not do SO is attributable to the fact
that it was generally understood that or
ders were given by the leaders Of the Re-
publican party to abstain from taking any
part therein in the hope of making up q
case to aid them in maintaining the power
OF the Government in their hands. The
members Of the Legislature know ms well
US myself that the people of Louisiana arc
as peaceable aud loyal to the General Gov
eminent as those OF any State in the Union,
and could not in justice to myself, per-
NIT this SANDER on the State to go forth to
the State to 60 forth to the country un-
answered"

Illegality of the Law Relative to
Public Printing,

Tho minority report of the Senate Judi.
ciary Committee sets forth two reasons
why the law of July "a, 1868, relative to
public printing, should be repealed
These are:
FTst-Becanse 1t does not express its oh.
ject or objects in its title, as required by
art. ia Of the Constitution.
Second-Because undcr art Al no Sena.
tor or Representative can be appointed to
any civil Office of profit in this State which
shall have been created, or the emoluments
of which may have been increased during
his term of office. The State printing was
conferred on A. L Lee while he was a
member of the House of Representatives.
II the law be open to the above stated
Constitutional objection, then no rights
have been vested in A. L. Lee, and it would
not be impairing the violation of con-
tract for the Legislature to repeal the law,
as the majority of the committee are of
opinion would be the case. a.s,sl
The minority report, signed by Senators
Blackman and Futch, concludes thus:
1t was evidently the intention of the au-
thors OF the printing law to evade this pro-
vision of the Constitution, aud to do indi-
rectly what they could not do directly
is, confer the State printing on Hon. A L..
Lee, who was then and is still member
OF the House of Representatives. The
state Printer has always been regarded as
an officer, and as such he conld not remain
as member of the Legislature and fill the
position OF Public Printer, which office
was created and the emoluments of which
were immensely increased during his term
OF service in office as q legislator
Your committee, differing from the ma
jorty as to the construction and proper
Interpretation OF the provisions ofth Con.
stitution above referred to, would respect
fully recommend that the law be repealed,
and let 1t aiterward be the subject of judi
cial investigations. We think the Legis-
lature would, in the case even of doubtful
legality, be justifiable in doing away with
such agigantic monopoly, that certainly
operates to the injury of the State and to
individuals thereof No act of the Legis-
lature, even of a partisan character, has
given so much dissatisfaction to the people
OF the State as the present printing law /;
and your committee entertain the hone
that the members of tho Senate, looking
to the general good of the State, will re.
peal a law SO odous, so unjust, so oppres-
sive, so subversiye of the rights and inter.
ests of private individuals, and which law
ishes such an immense bounty on few at
the expense Of the public treasury.

UThe weather, the most of the past
week, has been decided Improvement
on the hor1id spell of the last six weeks.
Our planters have taken full advantage
and many pillow has been in full blast
during this good spell. But, as we
write, with. the dawn of February,
generally the fairest month in the year,
the elements indicate any thing but a
continuance of good weather. The
roads so-called are moro than horrid,
md impossible. A competent nauti-
cal man has sounded several of the
main holes, on our most public road,
and reports mark twain in the shallow
est of them. 1t is to be hoped that our
Police Jury, now lin session, will take
some practicable and effective steps in
the appointment Of Road syndies, and
the laws and regulations regarding
working public roads, will be enforced
to the letter. We have naturally the
best roads in the world, and little
work can keep them in perfect order.
We sincerely hope this will be done
and that never again will it fall to our
lot to record such roads.

LOUISIANA LEGIsLAroRs.-A legislator
who, last year, made q contract to vote for
a big bill on consideration Of ten dollars
down and forty promised in . written
agreement, found out that the agreement
could not be enforced and that the forty
dollars wouldn't be paid.
Hi J" was his expression, " Deg eoteh
me once; cash down next time"
Another one remarked to lobbyist,
who showed him hundred dollar bill in
consideration for vote:
"'Fore de war sold for 6ftses huD-
dred dOllars-you tink I'm going 10 sold
now for hundredi I'm as good DOW q ]

Both disappeared in . mixed coffee
house to "talk it over"
Another offer was that made By N ex-
perienced hand.
"I1l give you twenty FIVE dollars after
you vote for it, twenty-five after it passes
the House, twenty-five after it passes the
Senate, and twenty-five when the Governor
signs it"
mo"
FIFTY dollars when It passes through
both bodies, and ffty when the Governor
signs it,"
"No."
Fifty dollars down, and fiity when ~

looks like bixness"

What Send Little Children to the
Devil.

The child that is not taught to be use-
full, and industrious, and henefcient, and
that sclf-indulgence is low and vulgar, will,
unless it be early taken home to heaven,
stand chance to be overcome and taken
captive and enslaved by evil, long before it
shall get half way on the road from the
cradle to the grave.
Goodness Of heart, not sharpness OF in.
tellect; strength Of character, not brilliau-
cy OF accomplishments copious treasure
laid up in heaven, not vast accommodations
OF this worlds goods; the fear of God, not
the applause Of men, are what keep young
people and old people also, from going to
the devil.
To sum up the whole matter: Young
people are sent to the devil by lack of SYM
patty and Of understanding, by lack Of
study Of children's natures; by lack Of de-
votion to children's welfare. by sel6shness,
bgotry, cruelty and tyranny on the part Of
the parents. In short, by whatever makes
the human fatherhood, the reverse OF the
Divine Fatherhood.
It will be admitted by all, that TO train
up family of children in the way they
should 60, is one of the greatest achieve
ments within the compass of mans ability;
and yet, how little of thought, or study, or
ingenuity, or effort, or time, OF travail Of
soul, is given to the subject, especially by
fathers. Could any business under heaven
be carried on successfully, ifno more atten-
ton were given to it than is usually be-
slowed on the training up Of family Of
children Certainly not. Not even . lit
ter OF prize pigs could be raised with such
q feeble outlay Of time, or exercise Of
brains.
A man who wonld train up his children
in the way they should 60, must associate
with them continually, and study them
up, and in the best sense, be their guide,
philosopher and friend.
This cannot be done without much and
persistent effort. It must often be done
when the parent is oppressed with LASH
tude OF body. sickness of heart, and weari-
ness of soul. Sometimes. when his whole
nature cries out for rest, he must rouse
himself and nerve himself to hear q story
of childish grief, and to feed some stricken
little heart with the love and syplpathy
for which it hungers.
To do this effectually he must put up u
prayer to God for help whenever ho turns
his face hOmcward, and ask for yrace to
meet his family with steadfastness and Sc
renity of soul. If in his heart his prayer
shall always be, as he draws near home
Father of mercy, help me to. receive INV
children as wish to be received by thee
thy kingdom come, thy will be done in
my heart as it is in Heaven, and forgive
me my trespasses as forgive my children
their tresspasses" sand then does his best
to realize his prayer. it is safe to say that
his children will not be among those sent
to the dewitt Packard's Monthly.
