THE investigation of the sale of cadetships,
and the accompanying excuses, have disclosed
the remarkable fact that some of the innocent
and unsophisticated Congressman were not
aware that it was wrong to sell these appoint
ments. The plea is also set up that when
their feet wandered from the paths of recti-
tude it was only because they were misled by
the lures of wicked newspaper correspondents.
How much these theories will tend to heighten
the popular appreciation of the standard of
Congressional reotitude remains to be seen;

melodrama, and TO make melodramas of
Shakespeares tragedies cannot bnt be offensive
10 any cultivated Englishman or American.
Mr. Fechter's peculiar accent, or accents, for
hehss two one picked up In Paris and the other in
London, produce a somewhat ludicrous effect
at times, and are very unpleasant at frat. The
audience soon gets accustomed TO this defect,
however, and II only merits passing notice, as
II has nothing whatever to do with the real
excellencies or defects of the performance.
Mr. Fechter Is supported by Miss Carlotta
Leclercd, lady of prepossessing appearance,
who acts some portions of the part of "0phe-
liza" very much in Mr., Fechter's manner. Some
of her attitudes, gesticulations, and grimaces
are utterly beyond comprehension. Miss Le-
clercq, however, plays the mad scenes finely,
and proves herself thereby to be an actress OF
real ability.
Dir. II. c.. Bangs, another supporter of the
''star, gave spirited performance of "Laertes,"
and the leading members of the company rom
dered the principal remaining characters in an
acceptable style, the "Claudius' of Mr.. Morri-
son and the "Polonius" of Mr.. Bailey being
particularly entitled TO commendation.

NEW INDIAN OUTBREAKS.

AS SPRING approaches the old story of pro-
bahle renewal of Indian hostilities on the
plains is repeated. In winter, when the
lages, and when they cannot make
marauding forays without running great
risk of being frozen or starved,
they are always willing to buy the
hatchet But as soon as the elem ents permit
them to attack white men with comparative
safety they are sure to dig it up again. They
break the most solemn treaties ON trivial pre-
texts, and one renegade white murderer, by a
few artful Misrepresentation can quickly undo
the work of half-a-dozen peace commissions
They have been taught from their youth to
regard robbery and murder as the great ends
of their existence, and nothing but the pre-
sence of a superior restraining force will pre-
vent O renewal of the scenes of rapine and
slaughter which have made the Plains and
contiguous settlements the dark and bloody
ground of our modern history. General
Sheridan says that ''the problem to be solved
is, who shall be killed, the whites or In
dians p and this is substantially true of
all the tribes which have not been thoroughly
humbled by a succession of defeats. In
spite of all that the Quaker agents can do
among the semi-civilized bands, and all that
diplomacy can effect among their wilder
brethren, the savage instincts of the red
handed marauders of the West can only be
held in check by a consciousness that swift
and terrible retribution will follow every
attempt upon westward-bound emigrants OF
frontier settlements.

WOMENS RIGHTS AND BARBARTSl

WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND BARBARTSM.
IT is q significant circumstance that while the
advocates of womens rights make but slow
progress in civilized communities, they win
brilliant triumphs in the rude and barbarous
sections of the country. The right of suf-
frage for which gentle Anna Dickinson vainly
pleads in Pennsylvania has been freely ex-
tended to the women of benighted Utah,
where polygamy prevails, and where de-
graded people willingly submit to the des-
potic authority of that prince of impostors,
Brigham Young. In Wyoming, the widest
of the new Territories, q woman was recently
appointed justice of the peace, and yester-
day the classic ground of Laramie, near
which grizzly bears still prowl and savage
Indians lie in wait for scalps, immortalized
itself by swearing in ''the first panel of lady
grand Jurors in the world" Among some
tribes of the merciless aborigines similar
triumphs of women's rights have been
achieved. It is not uncommon for Indian
women to turn warriors, and to hack and hew
at the enemies of their tribe as vigorously as
their male associates. Indeed, in some of the
assaults of our soldiers on Indian camps they
have found the ''squaw" fighters more dan
gerous than the 'bucks. In return for
such military service, or for other
reasons, the right to participate in important
councils or to exercise q positive influence on
tribal policy has occasionally been granted to
the Indian woman; and thus various portions
of America have, from time to time enjoyed
the delights of the system which mischievous
modern agitators are vainly endeavoring to
establish in civilized States. They do not
seem to be conscious that the project is anti
quated and savage rather than modern ard
refined. The fshwomen of Paris became
as powerful politicians as Susan
Anthony wishes to be, when that city was con-
vulsed by the bloody scenes of the French
Revolutions; but when order was restored the
nation gladly dispensed with their partisan
services. So, too, queens have ruled from
time to time, but so rarely with mercy, wis
dom, or impartiality, that experience has de-
monstrated the necessity of the Salic law.
To repeal it and to create myriads of female
sovereigns in this country would be retro
graduation instead of advancement. Let the
L. women reign forever as queens of our hearts
and homes; but it will be better for all con-
cerned to permit the men to fight out as best
they may the battle of the ballot-boxes.

Democratic and Conservative
State Convention.

The citizens Of West Virginia who favor the
repeal of all proscriptive laws now in force in
this State and the enactment of such measures
as will give the State character abroad and har.
mony and prosperity at home, are requested TO
meet in their respective counties or townships,
at as early q day as may be practicable, and
choose delegates to State Convention to be
held in the town Of Charleston, Kanawha coun-
ty, on
"wednesday, the Sth dny Of June, 1870,
to nominate candidates for the offices Of Gov.
ernor, Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary Of State,
Attorney General and Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
Each county or delegate district will cast ten
votes in this Convention for every representa-.
tive in the House Of Delegates 70 which such
county or district may be entitled.
The effect of our proscriptiye system in driv.
ing large numbers of useful citizens from West
Virginia and in preventing immigration from
other States, renders the speedy abolition Of
that system necessary to the public good. This
call is therefore addressed to all liberal-mindsd
men, whether Democratic, Conservative or Re.
publican, who desire to promote the welfare of
the State and vindicate the rights of her citi'
zens by appropriate legislation.

Eastern Prosperity.
From the Now York World. /

The Democratic members are making
some very good speeches in Congress
now. They are short, which gives them
q prime chance of being read by their
constituents, and full of facts and
figures, rather than mere rhetoric, which
makes them effective when read. Mr..
Morgan, of Ohio, has, among those who
have lately spoken, done special SER
vice. He shows that the Tariff act of
1889, which first imposed duty on salt,
extended the bounty, or drawback. sys-
tenn, now restricted to the tish-packers
of New England, equally to the fisher
men of the East and the pork and
beef. packers of the North and West,
but that for many years past
the man who packs meat q. e., the man
out of New England) has had no draw
back on salt, while the man who packs
fish q. E., the New Englander) has had,
and still has, such drawback, in the
shape of what is termed fishing boun-
ties. How this works is made appa-
rent in the statement that, in 1869, the
salt bought, duty free, in Gloucester,
Mass, District, for a single quarter,
cost the New England fish. packers but
the first price-S9307-whereas, had
New York or Ohio meat packers desired
to buy there, the same salt would have
cost them not only the first price, S93O7,
but the duty, or Sl4,44O % in addition,
thus making the Western packer
pay S23, ,747 .95 for what only costs the
Eastern fish packer S93O7.

enormous defect in the bringing up and
education of the generation which is
so soon to take an active part III
the affairs of life. The reins of home
government are held far too loosely
for the welfare of the youths of
this country. Boys are permitted to
roam the streets at night, and visit bill
lard and drinking saloons, and young
girls patronize night entertainments,
where the first steps are taken in that
road which ends in the ruin of charac-
ter, body and soul. Ifareform of a real

Patent Cider,

A curious case is on trial at Cincin-
natl, the parties TO which reside IN
Miami Township, near Moth Bend.
Sarah Pierson seeks to recover $1,000
from Matthias Blank and Eliza Nc
Donald for the loss of time and service
of her husband, Charles D. Pierson, AID
for labor expended upon him from the
six months succeeding the l4th of
March, 1869. She alleges that on the
day in question the defendant. Nc
Donald, sold her husband five drinks of
intoxicating liquor, and that the de-
feudant, Blank, sold him three drinks,
and that he, becoming unable to control
himself, fell and broke his legs. The
defendants deny all liability on their
part. During the examination, Mr..
Balsley, who testified in relation to the
condition of Pierson when he called at
his house on that evening, was asked If
Pierson had not drank some of the wit
uess's patent cider, and replied that he
had not; the witness added that that
article was not Intoxicating, and he
was not manufacturing at that time.
This brought up an inquiry in relation
to the components OF the patented
article, and the witness was asked to
state of what they consisted. He re-
sponded: "Well, sir, if you want to
know the whole, there are four pounds
of brown sugar to one pint OF molassess,
one ounce and half of tartaric acid,
aud the balance of water. | paid TOR
that receipt, sir, but you have got it for
nothing" Great laughter succeeded
this description of the new method of
making cider without apples.-Clereldnd

The English planters at Singapore are
said to be much annoyed by wild hogs,
which destroy the crops of rice and
corn, and which have been hitherto
kept down by the tigers. The tigers
ale fond of wild,hogs, and also of China
men and Malays. Their relish for these
last has been carried to such an extent
that they have long been in the habit
of swimming acrO.s to the Island and
helping themselves to Malay or n
Chinaman every night in the year
Lately the natives have taken to shoot
ing them, and the result has been 4 de.

the wild hogs, much TO the disSatisfac-
tion of the English planters, who pre-
