SPrrEFUL AFFIDAvITs-SJ0l- Bal
Among the reforms insugurated by Judge
Houghton, in the First District Recorders
Court, NAV be mentioned one that was long
needed, that is in the status of men Offering
Themselves as bondsmen. For years past
straw bail was always in the front, and the
business reduced to system. This rascal.
IT, has been crushed to death By the new
Recorder, who will accept only such bonds
men as can qualify to the sum demanded
beyond doubt. STRAW bail, and all its
attending train of evil is banished, and the
reform wss easily inaugurated; the simple
VII was all that wae necessary. The other
Recorders Courts work on the same plan,
and Justice is now furthered.
Scarcely a day passes that affidavits, EN-
bracing sill grades Of crime, are not made
through unadulterated malice, the maker
not intending to prosecute. his only object
being TO satisfy his spite by seeing the op
ponent iucarcerated. The chances are that
no proof can be produced to make good the
accusations, and the prosecutor does not
appear on the day fixed for trial. This evil
is to be remedied directly and indirectly.
When warrants are issued in trifing cases,
the person complained of will not be
arrested after dinner, to remain in cell all
night. The officer will execute his warrant
IN the morning in order that accused can be
arraigned without the necessity of locking
him up IN cell. In almost every instance
this arrangement will subserve every need,
wh.le those persons who seek to crafty
petty revenge must so away unsatished.
AS all six Recorders are men of capacity
and excellent standing in society. citizens
may rest assured that justice will be meted
out to all speedily, and with as little cere-
mony as possible. Abuses have been quite
thoroughly reformed, so that now people
must expect proper treatment IN these
courts, and the most refined need not shud-
der at the thought of being called into
them either as prosecutors or witnesses.

EDUCATION AND SUFFRAaE.-Mr. Bout
well, in his speech at the late Republican
demonstration in Washington over the
adoption and proclamation of the fif-
teenth amendment, Justly said that 1.-The
general welfare of the whole people can
only be secured by the establish ment of
a universal system of education, with
which this country would become an ex-
ample of the strength Of Republican 60
vernmenEt
This point Of the necessity of educa-
ton to the safe exercise of the franchise
is one which cannot be too strongly en-
phasized. That lending Republican pa
per. the New York Times, Justly says
that ''to give the vote where there is no
capacity to use it, is to put edge-tools in
the hands of an infant" It goes on to
add that the education indispensable to
the enfranchised classes is not merely
school-book learning. but to teach the
capacity of self-reliance and of taking
care of themse!vss. Henceforth, being
citizens. the freedmen should neither be
patronized nor obstructed. Being no
longer the "wards of the nation" but
themselves recognized part of the ma
tlon. the Freedmen's Bureau should not
henneforth be required. The Times says:
Wnu1 "e ueeu 10 40 lOf the freedmen,
therefore, is not to feed them with the
Government spoon, but to welcome them
heartily into their franchise, and to en-
courage them to use it veil" There can
be no question that if the freedmen would
remain in reality free, it must be by vir.
tue of their own wills and Intelligence.
This is certainly more sensible than the
plan of Wendell Phillips. whose scheme
is to furnish outright, at public expense,
to eaoh negro or negro family furm, a
plow, mules. n seasons supply Of food
and forage, seeds and agricultural tools.
thousand dollars cash, and for aught
we know, an extra bank account to draw
upon. This preposterous plan is actually
advocated, and its result would be to
educate the freedmen in the path of pa i
perism. iSun.

EFFECT OF THE FAMINE IN JERUSALEM
A letter has been received in London
from the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem,
which corroborates the statement made
on this painful subject by Sir Moses
Montefiore. The Bishop, in his letter,
says:
"a small donkey's load of water costs
Cd to the poor Jews, whose family in
come is Is Id per week. Many Moslems
and nominal Christians are in the same
position. What is most dreadful to con-
template is the fact that the springs near
Jerusalem are drying mp. But there is
another more terrible calamity still. The
locusts are spread over the mountains of
judah and Samaria, in the valley of :Jor-
dan. and in the plain of Sharon and Cali
lee, having come to 10y their eggs, which
will be hatched before the harvest, and
as the Arabs say that each couple lay 200
eggs, countless millions will appear, eat
ing every green thing, poisoning the
ground, and thus preventing grass grow
ing for the cattle"

The JEFFERSON FAMILY.-A remarka-
able incident occurred in Washington
recently, connected with Mr.. Jefferson's
engagement ut the theatre. His grand
father, the first Jefferson, it will be re-
membered, was at one time manager of
the National Theatre there, and at all
times q great favorite. His father, the
second Joseph Jefferson, was nlso in his
time a manager of the same place. The
incident was. that on one evening the
grandson, the present Mr.. Jefferson, his
son, Charles Jefferson. "a great grand son
Of the first,) and little Bessie Germon,
the great great grand daughter of the
first Jefferson, and grand daughter of
Mrs. Germon. all appeared in the same
play. Three generations of one family

tions had appeared.

THE TROUBLES AND P1UNpERERs OF
MExIco.-Advices from Mexico, March

are snbsiding. These disturbances seem
to be like wheels within wheels, and as
numerous as the bandit chiefs who act
as leaders. and levy upon defenceless
population at will, robbing churches and
plundering cities with like impunity. A
despatch from the city of Mexico, ola
Havana, says:
"Generals Cadeni, Huerta, Martinez,
Aquerre, Toledo aud others OF the insur.
gent leaders are still in the field, with
troops and ammunition, fighting and

JEFF. DAVIS SEAT.-A correspondent
In Mississippi asks: ''Is it true. as some
of the Northern papers continue to as
sert, that the negro Revels occupies Mr..
Davis old seat in the Senate?" No; it
is not true. There was an effort made to
secure it for him. hut it failed. It was
intended that the history of the times
should record, as ''the grandest provi.
dence of the nineteenth century," that
the humble negro Hiram Revels occupied
in the United Estates Senate the seat in
which once sat the arch- traitor Jefferson
Davis. And in order to bring it about,
Sumner, Wilson and half dozen other
negro-worshippers approached Senator
Ross, OF Kansas, and said to him, "Arise,
exchange seats with the man and bro
ther, Revels, that history may tell, to
the perpetual confusion of Southern Chi
valry, that a despised negro occupies the
seat of the traitor JEFF. Davis" Mr..
Ross looked mp from the sheet of paper
upon which he, was writing. $50 this, {"
said he, ''is the seat in which Davis used
to sit?" "Yes," replied Sumner, sit is. %
"And you and the negro you've got here,
want me to get out of itand let the negro
get into it. doyou?" "We do" answered
Sumner. 'Then," said Ross. taking up
his pen, "I'vea aonly to say, that I'll see

it came to pass that the 'grand provi-
dence" for which the radical muse of
history stood waiting. failed to take
place.

There is man in the vicinity of Cedar
Keys, Florida, who has twenty two chill
dren living. The family subsist prnci-
pally on fish and oysters. They have
never had plate nor cup and saucer
in their house. In lieu of cups, they
use gourds and shells. They help them
selves to the cooked fish or oysters from
common large dish, and each member
OF the family uses his or her own jack
knife for that purpose. Those articles
of diet are spread on corn bread, which
they make themselves, and then they
consume the plate as we'll as the food
