We publish t;iis morning the bill which
has inst passed tho Esicral House Of Rep
rcscntatiyes 70 enforce the fifteenth smend-
ment. Itmight more truly be entitled a
bill to destroy free government, and CEN
tralize all the powers Of government in the
hands Of Congress and its agents. IL the
northern people we're not blind they would
put down the Radical party for proposing
such bill. But the Senate bill is still
worse than this one; and We know not what
cnormitics the act will contain when Il shall
have passed both Houses.

A general idea holds ground that large
heads mean large intellects, that weight Of
brain indicates mental strength. But this
notion is false one one fact will disproyc

proportion to which his brain bears to his
body. When we come 10 animals the diff
ferences are very striking. A continental
physiologist has been guaging the skulls Of
different quadrupeds. and weighing their
contents. There are beasts whose instinct
approaches to reason, and we style such IN
telligent; their high instinct is not how
ever commensurate with their cerebral de-
velopmcnt. To range few Of the CONF
monest animals in the order Of brain

weight Of nerve centre in proportion to the
capacity Of their bodies, but they have on
Iva sixth part Of that CT the first on the
list that Is To say, the cat has six times as
much brain in proportion to her size as the
horse has in proportion to his size. The
pig has more than the horse, the sheep
moro than the pig. Who would have
thought it! The fact almost set us won
dering whether the brain has anything to
DO with the intellect atall.

soy-The monthly report ofthe Com
missioner of Agriculture for May
shows that the acreage of winter
wheat is nearly five per cent. behind
that of last year, while the quality of
the grain is superior. Winter barley
is about as last year, and the spring
sowing has been increased. Grasses
are generally flourishing. Fruits
promise an abundance. The cotton
acreage is materially increased in ev-
cry State, and the crop is generally
growing well. Since the returns
from which the Commissioner makes
up his report were sentin, the wealth
er has been unfavorable in many To-
calities, and so the report cannot be
relied on implicitly. His report for
the month of june will be of more
value, as it will probably give with
considerable accuracy the condition
of the crops at the present time
which will be decisive, as the wheat
crop will not be likely to change
much after this month, either for bet
ter or worser.
