UNDER the fifth paragraph of the first sec
tion of the second article of the constitution
of the United States, mo person except a
natural born citizen" can be elected to the
Presidency. This being so, Mr.. CAssERLY
one of the Senators from California, who
unfortunately is an Irishman, and Gen.
SHURz, a Senator from Missouri. who first
saw the sun i'll Germany, can never aspire
to that office under our present constitution.
1t is far different with REvELs, FRED DoUG-
LASS, or JoHN NJ. LASGsToN, either Of whom
under the late fraudulent amendment to the
constitution, can become an aspirant for the
highest office il the gift Of the American
people. This is plain distinction of color
and race, and an amendment ought to be
proposed by some Radical leader to wipe
out this obnoxious clause in the constitution.
But as Casserly and Shurz belong to the
despjsed and inferior white race, their polit-
cal disabilities are Of small account, and
they and hundreds Of others like them must
be content to occupy position subordinate
to the native born negro. Great is the king
dom of Africa

A PRnMINRNT Radical paper in the west

nouncement that there are fourteen prospec-
tive candidates anxious for the next Repub-
lican nomination for Cover nor. The names
of these self-sacl ificing patriots. as published
by the editor. include such renowned heroes
and statesmen as WHITE and ToDD and

We are indebted to the Hon. Francis
Jordan. Secretary Of the Commonwealth,
for a pamphlet copy of the general laws
PASSED by the last Legislature, from which
it appears that .torty-nine laws Of a public
character were enacted. Many of these gen.
eral laws are of the most trihing nature.
and do not at all effect the public welfare.
When the pamphlet laws are published. the
number Of private bills passed will be found
to equal that of previous sessions-say
twelve hundred. 1t is in these private bills
that the frauds and corruptions of legislation
are concealed. The grst of laws ground
out annually by the respective State Lesis-
latures, and by Congress, is fearful to con-
template. and realizes the old adage, that
''the world is governed too much"

A few days ago the Senate had under
consideration bill, most infamous in lisp ro-
visions, to enforce the fifteenth amendment.
The question of general amnesty became
prominent in the discussion and was bitterly
opposed by MoRToN. DRAKE. and others OF
their stamp, whose ideas of craftsmanship
seem to be embodied in one woTd-ren-
oeancc Gen. FERRY, one of the Radical
Senators from Connecticut, aud who fought
the rebels in the field while such sunshine
patriots as MoRroN and DRAKE were in the
pursuit of Office. made a vigorous speech in
favor Of the removal of all political disabil-
tiles from the Southern people. in which lie
did credit tn his head and heart by INTERIM g
the following broad and statesmanike senti-
ments:
Rut, saws the Senator from Indiana. history
Is against the Senator from Connecticut !; histo-
~ shows that YOU can do nothing bv conciliating
"a vaI auished people. Does it sir? What little

history. l believe it to be Gods handwriting
on the fac c of this earth of Ours a4d what
does it tell us ? In the first place what does
international law tell Us is the first duty OF the
victor and the sole right-yes, sir, the right OF
tory teach us of the effects of disabilities and
test acts in other countries with whose story
we are familiar g? Why, rir we onght all to
be familiar with That old English story. 1t
has come down to us from the hooks of our
boyhood What has England gainei by five
hundred years of disabilities and test-oaths
for the people of IrelandT Has It created or
raised Up there Il loyal generation loving the
crown and reudy TO rally around the Union
Jack No. sir. Ireland tells the story to,
day of disabilities and test oaths. y
What have they done for England herself I?
They were tried after the revolution of 1858.
Go look at the statute book of the reign of
William III. On every other page is diSa-
bilty bill OF test act and the throne of viii
liam and Anne and the Georges tottered year
by year upon its foundation for two genera
tons, and twice the erupIions broke forth In
l7I5 and I745. Cannot we learn something
from history /!
What did Austria make by her pains and
penalties and disabilities in hungary Moth
ing but smOthered rebellion nothing but
ourbreakihg revolution. At last she gave
Hungary a free constitution and free represcn-
tation. and peace regns throughout the land
| might go on, sir but such monstrous
perversion of history the argument of the
Senator from Indiana seems to me to need no
further reiutatIoD.

EIGHTY THOUSAND DEMOCRATIC MAJOR
ITY-The Albany A1gus claims eighty thou
sand majority for the Democratic ticket at
the last election. One of the most remark
able political somersaults was that in Or
leans county, the lifelong residence of the
Democratic candidate for Chief Justice of
tee Court of Appeals, Sanford E. Church
At the election last fall Gigel, the Republi-
can candidate for Secretary Of State, carried
the county by nine hundred and fortythree
majority. At the last election Judge Church
swept every town, with but one slight ex>
ception, and received seven hundred and
eghty-six majority. This is one of the most
remarkable changes on the political record
"a perfect "wheel about and turn about"
1t shows that man can be prophet in his
own country. If the rural Democracy keep
on in this go-ahead way they will be able to
swing the State without the aid of the metro
politan Democracy.-Neac York Herald.

TO all who have predicted. or are prog
nosticating, short peach crop. we give the
cheering intelligence that the peach orchards
of Maryland have not only bHdded and
blossomed. but that almost every blossom
bids fair to produce two peaches, and many
even more than this; so that as far as
Maryland is concerned the prospects are
fair for superabundant crop of the most
toothsome of our summer fruits, and Mary>
land is pre-emineutly peach growing State,
though Delaware and New Jersey also take
high place in the statistics for the number
of peach trees under cultivation.

SINGULAR APPROPRIATIONS The Sacra
mento Union says: A gentleman residing
on street, near Second street, is the owner
of cat, which, few days ago. gave birth
to five kittens. A day or two afterward an
old hen that had been making the usual in
timations of desire to set, found the nest
of kittens during the absence of the cat, and
Immediately appointed herself their mother,
probably under some vague notion that they
were new brood of chickens, or that chick
ems were generally out of shape this year.
When pussy returned. the hen flew at
and made her retreat, and kept possession
of her proteges all day. Her master, not de-
string to have the kittens starved to death,
took them from the hen and gave them to
pussey /; but the next day the hen found
them and again took possession, and has
continued to reclaim them from day to day
when they have been taken from her.
1t is described as very amusing to watch
her earnest efforts to keep them quiet when
they become hungry and incline to crawl
away. Whenever Que gets from under her
wings she gives few "clucks," and then.
she promptly retrieves them with her bill
and then tucks them carefully away in her
feathers

of the vote by counties, which show the
Democratic majority to be 64.850. Com

THE "HoRsE- HEAD" CHTLD-A REMARKA-
DLE EXHIBITION In the back room Of the
house No. III West Twenty seventh street,
there is on exhibition a malformed infant,
which is an exceptional demonstration cf
4 well knowp law of nature. The child was
born on the 81 Of April, and the mother IS
a poor German woman, who then resided on
North William street. between Meecker ave-
nue. and Herbert street, Brooklyn. E. D.
When the child was born, the malformstfon
was not very distinct, but as the infant
grew older it became more apparent, so
that now the face of the child very much
resembles that of horse. The forehead Of
the infant is Ike that of other children, but
the whole front Of the upper jaw is lacking.
and there is no palate or roof to the mouth
The nasal bone and cartilage extend down
over the lower lip and end in an oval shaped
feshy protuberauce, resembling as nearly as
possible the lip Of horse. The child does
not nurse. but requires to be fed, and APP
pears to be gradually wasting away.
The father and mother of the child are
very poor, and though no fee of admission
is required, yet any contributors from Wis
itors are gratefully received. The mother
is thirty-fuur years OF age. has been married
three years. and this is her first child
Some time before the child'S birth she was
shocked at seeing dead horse on the street,
and this caused her infant to be marked in
this terrible manner.-lN. Y. Times.
