AN APPEAL 10 THE REPUBLICANS IN
1CoNGREss.-It is nearly six years since the
last rebel laid down his arms. Is it not high
| time Tor the country to return to the old waysa
for Congress to work within the constitutional
limits. In these six years we have had much
wild and dangerous legislation; is not time for
care, prudence, for the use of strictly consti-
tuti0nal means, for the severest Limitation of
authority to the boundaries prescribed in the
supreme law of the land7 The country longs
to return definitely to constitutional ways.
Every thoughtful man feels the danger of tho
paths we are treading. The fate of Mexico
and France lies before us. Congress is pre-
pairing the way for anarchy-for if Congress
violates the Constitution, if the law makers
turn law breakers, if the guardians of the
Constitution tear it in pieces, what remains
but endless and yearly increasing disordera
If the checks, the division of power and author
ity, the limitations and guards SO wisely placed
in the constitution, are once broken down and
swept away, as is attempted in the proposed
Force bill, we can end only in Capitalization,
which means despotism, Imperialism the crush
ing out of individuality. of liberty, and of that
political education which our institutions Sc
cure. and which is one of the chief promises
of our continuance as a free people. Free
dom cannot exist under a centralized govern.
ment. Take from the states those local and
municipal powers and duties which the cOnsti-
tuition secures them, make the Federal courts,
the police courts, the federal marshals, police
men, detectives and spies; give the federal Ex-
ecutiye authority to interfere at his will with
soldiers or with his civil officers, in the inter.
nal affairs of the states. and you break down
the only safeguards of liberty, and prepare the
way for an imperial despot. But, good men say,
are life and property to remain insecure in the
Southern States? Shall not the Federal Gov.
ernment protect its friends wherever they area
We reply: The Federal Government has pow
ers and duties strictly defined and limited in
the constitution. We cannot safely permit it
to act beyond these. 1t is not within its con-
stitutional power to interfere ia the internal
affairs of the states and it ought not to be. Po-
lice and justice within the states, and between
the citizens of state, must be left and ought
to be left where the constitution placed them,
with the state authorities, who have the right
to appeal in prescribed form, to the Federal
executive for help. What then is to become
of the prosecuted loyalists!'' If they are un-
comfortable where they are, they must remove
to pleasanter localities. That is what tens of
of citizens in northern states do
every year. Why do New Yorkers remove to
New Jersey Is it not because they are made
very uncomfortable in New York by high taxes,
Jobs and bad governments Would it not seem
TO them absurd to be told that they ought to
call upon the Federal Government to interfere
in their behalf against the Ku-Klux Klan Of
New York IN. 7. Ereniag Post.

PICTURE OF THE LOUISIANA LEGIsLA-
TURE-A SCALY SET.-In 1865 the debt of
Louisiana was about S5,000,000; it is now, in
cluding the so-caed accruing debt, comprising
endorsements on worthless railroad ship canal,
and other bonds, over 100000. A New Or
leans correspondent of the Springfield Repubi.
can has sufficient faith in the people of Massa-
chusetts to believe that if the body called a
Legislature, recently adjourned, chad done to
the people of Massachusetts, what they did to
Louisiana, they would have never left Boston
alive" The same correspondent describes this
Legislature as having been composed of igno-
rant blacks, carpet-baggers from the North, and
small minority ofthe meanest Southern white
trash, men without "last piece Of residence"
soaked with whisky, living with negro women,
and smelling like wet dogs as they elbowed
about the lobby openly selling their votes Un-
der these circumstances he thinks it unreason-
able to expect the planters TO talk with the en-
thusiam of the olb flag, or to consider the Coy
ernment which upholds such Legislature 'the
best the world ever saw"

THE sales of lands belonging to the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,, on the Back Bay
of Boston, have amounted to nearly three and
half millions of dollars, or considerably more
than double the cost of filling the whole terri
tory belonging to the State. The unsold land
is worth at least a million and half more; so
that the Commonwealth will realize more than
three millions net. besides donating liberal por-
tions of land to the Institute of Technology,
the Society of Natural History, and other pub
hc objects, and creating taxable property for
the city of Boston amounting to many millions
of dollars

A Patent Medicine.

We had lieutenant in our company by the
name Of P. lie was genial, noisy fellow
but he was not much in the way ofreliability.
In fact it might have been said with grea;
truth that lie did no duty at all. if we except
the drawing of his pay with strict punctuality.
Whenever movement was to be made, P
moved himself upon the "sick report"
One day it was rumored that the regiment
would march to the front the next morning. L
AS usual appeared at the surgeons tent.
ooh doctor" said he'll feel very sick"
whats the matter'" asked the surgeon with
sly leer at those present.
"Oh great pains in my bowels" replied P
land giddiness in my head. "All right"
said the surgeon, an put you on the sick re-
port, and send you some pills. Take them a.
one dose"
P-went to his tent and commenced to
smoke his pipe. By-and-by some brother Of
icers came in, and after awhile the hospital
steward came over with box containing three
large pliis WHICH tHo SUI bcVu hou h"H"'"Ss"s
ed out Of gunpowder. "Better put thom in
your pipe and smoke them," said Captain IL
-;"hang me if I'd take Them"
P-hesitated for moment and then said,
sit would be good joke, believe III take
your advice"
Picking up the pills he droppedthem all into
the bowl of bis pipe. The next instant an ex-
plosion took place that shattered the pipe into
thousand fragments, and sent P--'s friends
flying out Of his tent. The next day he met
the surgeon and accosted him thus:
81 say doctor, what effect did you intend
those pills to have on me p
"75 clear you out" growled the surgeon.
Faith" replied P, "they were very
eficacious, for If they didn't exactly clear me
out, they did a half dozen Of my visitors"

A Word to Husbands.

Make allowances for your wife's share OF
the great inheritance of human nature. DO
not expect her to smile in. unmoved serenity
when children are ungovernable, servants are
in high rebellion, and husband comes home
cross and hungry. Ifshe is little petulant,
do not bang doors by way Of soothing her
temper. Just remember that pleasant word
or two, the touch of kindly hand, or the
light of a plying eye will act like oil on the
troubled waters. Even men are known to get
out of patience sometimes, therefore he not as
tonished at woman's occasional lapse OF self
control!
: Do not suppose it at all derogatory to your
dignity to remember the small, sweet courte-
sizes Of life where your wife is concerned
Why should a man be ashamed Of politeness
to bis own wife, when he would step forward
in an instant to render like service to any
other lady?
Because man has married woman does
it necessarily follow that thenceforward he is
exonerated from the duties Of ordinary civili-
ty toward her? BY all the wedding rings in
Christendom, no
If your wife pin fresh rosebud in your
button-hole when you go forth to business in
the morning, be careful to present her with
heart-ease on your return at night. Some
men grow suddenly ashamed of an unassum-
ing pot of fragrant mignonette, if wealthy
friend happens to present them with few
flowers from his conservatory, and hide it
away in some obscure corner to make room
for the brilliant but scentless exotics. Wives
are not unfrequenty treated after similar
fashion and perhaps it would be well for
their fastidous lords and masters to jot
down the following lines upon the tablets OF
their memories
GAS the myrtle, whose perfume enriches the bewcr,
Is priced far beyond cen the gaudiest flower;
So wife, who household can skillfully rule,
Is jewel of price TO all men-save fool"

Is There Any Mother Here.

A little girl once followed the workmon
from her fathers grounds, when they went
home to their dinner, because she was very
fond ola kind old man whe was one Of them.
When he looked from his door he saw her sit
ting on log, waiting for him, and invited ben
to go into the cottage. She looked in and saw
thestrangefaces around the table, and besitated
When he urged her, she raised her sweet little
face and inquired:
as there any mother here?"
"Yes, my dear, there is mother in here, be
answered.
"Ob, then III 90 in, for I'm not afraid il
there's a mother there!'
Her child experience had told her she should
place confidence in a mothers sympathy
A home may be small and mean, but if it j:
the shrine of mothers love, it is happier
place than palace would be without this bles-
sed presence.

Too Smart.

A mechanic in New Orleans has constructed
a safe which he declares to be burglar proof
To convince the incre iulous Of the fact, he
placed thousand dollar bill in his pocket, had
himself locked in the safe, aud declared that he
would give money to the man that unfastened
the door. All the blacksniths and burglars in
the State have been laboring and beating at the
safe for week the man is in there yet. He
has whispered through the key-hole that he
will make the reward ten thousand dollars il
somebody will let him out. Fears are enter
tanned that the whole concern will have to be
melted down in blast furnace before he is re-
leased, and efforts are to be made to pass in
through the key-hole fre-proOf jacket, to
protect the inventor, who swears that If he
once gets out he will in future always try the
experiment with rival patentee inside.

Earl Fitzwilliam and the Farmer.

A farmer called on the Earl Fitzwilliam to
represent to him that his crop of wheat had
been seriously injured in field adjoining GER
tain wood where his lordship's hounds had dur
ing the winter frequently met to hunt lie
stated that the young wheat had been so cut
up and destroyed that in some parts he could
not hope for any produce. "Well, my friend,
said his lordship, al am aware that We have
frequently met in the field, and that we have
caused considerable injury; and if you can pro-
cure an estimate of the loss you have sustained
| will repay YOU" The farmer replied, that
anticipating his lordship's consideration and
kindness. he had requested a friend to assist
him in estimating the damage, and they thought
that as the crop seemed quite destroyed, fifty
pounds would not more than repay him. The
earl Immediately gave him the money.
As the harvest, however, approached, the
wheat grew, and in those parts of the field
which were most trampled the corn was strong
est and most luxuriant. The farmer went
again to his lordship, and being introduced, said
81 am come, my lord, respecting the field oil
wheat adjoining such wood" His lordship
Immediately recollectcd the circumstance
"Well, my friend did not l allow you sufficient
to remuuerate you for your loss?' "Yes, my
lord, find that have sustained no loss at all
for where the horses had most cut up the land
the cropis most promising, and | have there
fore brought the fifty pounds back again" "Ah'
exclaimed venerable earl, "this is what like
this is as it should be between man and man.
He then entered into conversation with the far
mer, asking him some questions shout his fam
ily-how many children he had, &c. His
lordship then went into another room, and re-
turning, presented the farmer with check fol
one hundred pounds, saying, "Take care OF
this. and when your eldest son is ofage, present
it to him, and tell him the occasion that pro-
duced it," We know not which to admire
most the honesty of the farmer on the one hand
or on the other, the benevolence and the wisdom
displayed by this illustrious man; for while
doing noble act of generosity, he was handing
down lesson ofintegrity to another generation
