Tho Cricket Invasion or Nevada

From the Territorial Enterprise, Virginia City
Nevada, June 29th.l
The State has been invaded by crickets.
Vast armies of them have entered the
eastern portion of the State. A week ago
the advanced guard of the devas tating
hord poured down upon Elko, and as they
swept part with their silent tramp, the
people stood appalled, at their numbers
The Elko Independent does not trace their
course eastward. but they evidently come
from Utah, the home of the cricket, grass
hopper and polygamus Mormon, and are
endeavoring to cut or eat their way through
to the green valleys of the Truckee. They
are destructive on vegetation, and their
advance should be stopped by some means.
AS the malarious marshes Of the Ganges
seem to be the home of the cholera. so
does Utah appear to be the birthplace of
the cricket and grasshoprer, plaques of the
Great Basin. For the past eight or ten
years, If not longer, that Territory has
been sorely afflicted with grasshoppers,
and it has sometimes seemed that the
Saints would be compelled to yield their
fields and pastures to these innumerable
and remorseless destroyers. The cricket
pest, however, has been less severe, and
from the habits of this insect, we do not
apprehend that the present invasion will
prove very destructive. They sometimes
appear in prodigious numbers, but they
travel slowly, and their advance is easily
stopped. In 1850. for distance of twenty
or twenty-five miles, in Utah, the whole
face Of the country Was so densely covered
with crickets-large, fat, clumsy, wingless
fellows-that the wheels of the emigrant's
wagon became almost clogged with the
crushed carcasses OF these insects. As their
course could easily be traced, it was mani
fest that they had not travelled far, and
winter probably overlook them before they
swept oyer very wide scope of the coun-
try. They advance steadily, however, and
q hundred and fifty fold each
year. Hence crickets, now that they have
entered the state, may be expected for
some years to come.

A SUMMER DAY.

Sunshine over the meadow lands,
Kissing the crimson clover
And sunshine haunting the lily cups
That the yellow bees hang over:
And sunshine over the hazy hills
And over the dimplng river
And wished that the sun and summer day
Might shine and last forever.
We walked down by the meadow path.

As We walked down through the clover,

enough the succession from the male Beau

Hortense and Stephanie. And here it is
also interesting to note that while Hortense
had none but male children, Stephanie had
none but females. That the French En-

To BISHOP PIR of Poitiers must forever
belong the great glory of having discover
ed new and absolutely unanswerable ar
gument in favor of infallibility. Said this
holy, astute, intellectual and learned pre-
late in the midst of his compeers in the
Ecumenical Council: GAS 81. Peter was
crucified head downward, thus supporting
the whole weight of bis body on his head,
so Pho Mono, his successor, bears upon
himselfthe whole weight OF the church, he
being its head. Ergo, he who SUPPORTS is
infallibIe, not that which is supported.
This wonderful and convincing argument
was received with immense enthusiasm by
the italian and Spanish prelaies. But
there were divers holy fathers from other
countries who looked somewhat glum, in
consequence of not being able TO appreci-
ate this very logical proposition and its Sc
quence.

TRE MISSOURI TEST OATu.

On Monday, Jan. 81, the Supreme
Court decided the long pending Missouri
test oath case of Gen. Francis p. Blair,
Jr., against John S. Thompson and
others, being writ of error to the Su-
preme Court of the State of Missouri sus-
tanning the validity of the oath. In an
nouncing this the Chief Justice said:
GIN the case of Francis P. Blair VS. John
S. Thompson, ct ais, writ of error to the
Supreme Court of the State of Missouri,
the Chief Justice announces that, the
judges of this court being equally divided
in opinion, the decision of the Supreme
Court of Missouri is affirmed" In cases
where the court is evenly divided, no
opinion is made out or read from the
bench. The Judges of course stood four
for Blair and four against the States test
oath. Justices Nelson, Clifford, Greer
and Field, held the oath to be unconstitu-
tional. Justices Swayne, Davis, Miller
and the Chief Justice Chase, sustained
the law of Missouri.
Wecannot speak definitely of the effect
which this decision may have upon the
Radical test oath imposed by Gov. Brown
lows Legislature. But we are inclined to
the opinion that the Constitution of Ten
nessee is different from the Constitution
of Missouri, in this, that the former pro-
hibits the passage Of retrospective laws,
while the lstter does not. Therefore,
what is constitutional IN Missouri may be
unconstitutional in Tennessee.

The only colored member of Congress,
is Senator Reyels of Mississippi. The
only colored minister from foreign Gov
eminent residing at Washington, is Gen.
Tate, resident minister from the Republic
of Hayti, of which Sylvan Salnaye was
the President. But Salnaye has been
captured and executed. We presume
that is the end of the Salnave negro Re
public of HaytI and with it the termina-
ton OF the ministerial duties of Gen.
Tate. The reception of the colored
republican, on his arrival in Washington
by President Grant, was said by Radical
papers to have been all that it should be.
A few days since Gen. Tate and lady
were invited by the President to the nexi
State dinner. The untimely death Of
President Salnave intervenes to prevent
the General and his lady from dining
with the President and his lady at the
State dinner. 1t is doubtless a matter of
deep regret to the Washington Bohemians,
as it would certainly have furnished mat
ter fora column or two of sensation. The
General and lady decline the invitation Of
President Grant in the following letter :
General and Madam Tate have the
honor to present their respectful compi-
ments to His Excellency, the President
and Mrs. Grant, and beg them to accept
their sincere thanks for the invitation
which they have received. While they
feel profoundly the honor which is thus

On Friday las, a Spaniel dog arrived in
Washington City in the charge Of the
Adams Express Company, consigned to
Gen. Grant by a gentleman in Cleveland,
Ohio. The special correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial says the dog was
duly delivered at the Executive Mansion,
and the President upon counsel with a
friend, declined to receive it, on the
ground that dirt was sufficient, and for the
additional reason that there was q bill Of
express charges amounting to ten dollars.
The express driver was last seen going
down the avenue, with the dog in his
wagon, on an excursion to find a. pur-
chaser who would pay the charges and
take the animal away. The name of the
Cleveland donor was not given. The

FRAUDS ON COLORED SOLDIERS.

The board appointed to investigate the
fraudswhich have been committed upon
the negro soldiers in Tennessee has finished
its work and gone to Washington. They
have begun, we are informed by the cor
respondent Of the Gazette, an examina-
ton of the records of the Treasury De
partment and Of the Freedmen's Burcau
for the purpose of tracing out matters de-
veloped by the testimony taken in Ten
nessec. The existence Of a widespread
scheme FOR swindling in the matters of
back pay and bounty is established by the
evidence already obtained, but none OF
the prominent officers of the Bureau are
implicated. 1t was discovered that at
Nashville during the war, when the ne
groes were largely employed in the hos
pitals, although large number Of them
signed the pay rolls every month, they
never received any pay, but that it was ap-
propriated by other parties, and the same
game was attempted with the force of ne
