A case was decided by the United
States Supreme Court some days ago,
which will, no doubt, create sensation
among holders of confiscated property
in the South, many Of whom nude their
purchases without fully understanding
the law en- the subject. The case is that
of Bigelow vs. DeForrest, in which GER
tain real estate in Virginia was seized,
under the confscation laws, and sold its
owner being adjudgad guilty of treason.
That person having since died. his heirs
brought suit in cjectment to recover the
property. The claim was resisted on the
ground that the title of the original
owner was forfeited by his treason, and
his rights in the property thoroughly
divested. But the United States Su-
preme Court decide that it was only his
estate during his life which was divested,
and since his death his heirs may re-
cover the property. The decision is in
accordance with clause two, section
three, article three of the Constitution
Of the United States, which says: "Con-
gress shall have power to declare the
punishment of treason, but no attainder
Of treason shall work corruption of
blood or forfeiture, except during the
life OF the person attainted.

FGrIo1DE.-Dr. Hopkins, of Utica, n
Y, has collected with great care and
published, statistics concerning the
growth and prevalence of the crimo of
foeticide, which are of most startling
character. Taking New York city as m
index, the Doctor shows that the in
crease OF procured abortions has been
alarmingly rapid. In 1906 the ratio to
population was l to 1858; in 1849, to
$40; in 1856, 1 to 10; in 1869. l to a.
These figures represent o state of morals
which challenges the grave consideration
Of legislators and teachers Of religion.

GRowLER. is class of men in
every community who 60 about with
vinegar faces, growing because they are
not appreciated as they think they should
be, and who constantly quarrel with their
destiny. These men usually have made
O great mistake in. their estimate Of their
abilities, or are uamitigated donkeys.
In either case they are unfortunate. If
people despise you, do not tell it MI over
town. If you arc capable, show it. If
you are right down clever fellow, wash
the worm wood off your face, and sh ,w
your goodwill by deeds. Then, if the
people feel above you, go right off and
feel above them. If they swell when
they pass you in the street, swell your
self, and if this does not ''fetch them, "
conclude very good naturedly that they
are unworthy of your acquaintance, and
pity them for missing such capital
chance of getting into good company.

PRooREss. s.-The Washington CORES
pondents of New York pupers inform us
that Senator Revels, John NJ. Langdon,
Frederick Douglass and other prominent
NEGRO" orators, are making arrange
ments, in view of the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment, to stump the
Northern States next fall in the interests
OF the Republican party. In order that
the latter party may get the full benefit
OF the negro vote in the Northern States
it is understood that tho Union League
of America will soon set about establish
ing secret leagues among tho negroes Of
that section, so as to prepare them to
vote at the autumn elections. With the
aid of the negro, the Republicans expect
to carry all the Northern States by largo
majorities, and to reclaim States like De-
laware, Maryland and New Jersey.

several miles in breadth. To all appear
ance, cattle, driven along this long di-
vide would be out of everybody's way,
and injure nobody. If permitted by
act of the Legislature, the trails would
meet on the south side of the Arkansas
ne& the mouth of the Walnut, cross at
that point, and Immediately ascend the
divide of which we have spoken. 1t
would be met by spur of the railroads
some three miles southwest of this
place. There would be the cattle-yards.
Emporia would be the shipping and
Quitting point. 1t is difficult to imag-
inc the enormous impulse which such q
trade would give to business i'll Empo-
ria, and the growth in wealth and pop
ulation which must follow. We can
probably secure all this by making the
proper effort. Shall it be done! Is
there any reason why it should not?
