When disabilities had been mainly removed,
the fallacy was still Rugged that the Admin
istration ought TO sustain these Northern
rogues in order to prevent the South from
falling under Democratic control; in other
words, it was the duty of the President and
his friends in Congress to take care of the
local elections in New-0rleans, and Charles
ton, and Montgomery. Thus we see in
Louisiana a combination of the principal Fed
eral officials to set up legislature, and q
governor, and courts, and other machinery OF
administration; in Alabama we see legisla-
ture organized in defiance of law for the pur-
pose of electing the Federal candidate for the
| Senate; and in all the distracted States we
see one party or the other running to WASH
ing for aid and comfort, asking for troops
begging for the Presidents intervention.
In some instances lately the President has
refused his aid. This is wise and proper; but
| the wisdom comes late. If so much AID mao
not been given heretofore, If Congress had
not interfered so busily in the thankless TASK
of protecting the South against herself THESE
scandals could never have arisen. Paterna'
government does not agree with the Aiheri-
can constitution. Let us have no more OF IT,
Whoever NAV be elected to the Senate, who
ever NAV get the Gcvernorship, whoever may
sit in the Legislature, let 1T be understood
that Alabama, and Arkansas, and Louisiana
and South Carolina must settle these quarrelt
Themselves, in tho courts, or by whatever local
tribunals the law provides, and that Congress
and the Federal Executive must keep aloof.

The disagreement of the jury in the case
of Nelson, charged with purloining the bust
ness secrets of Messrs. Phelps, Dodge g. Co.,
was not upon question of guilt, but its de-
gree. Certainly the testimony was clear
enough, and warranted conviction. At any
rate, it is to be regretted that some example
cannot be set fixing the punishment for this
new kind of Offense.

The Rev. Father OConnel Of Norwich, Chenango
County, had rather an extraordinary present for
priest tho other night for he found upon the door
step of his parsonage a basket. and in the basket
was a female baby, aged about six weeks, and with
the baby was a bottle of soothing syrup" There
was also note requesting the reverend Father to
baptize the child by the name of Mary. which, we
suppose like coed Catholic, he made hot haste TO
do. The small wait was accommodated Of the par
sonage during the night, and but for the soothing
syrup q sweet time Father 0'COnnell would have
had of it. The next day he sent tho babe to of
his parishioners with strict injunctions that it
should be taken care of. pretty bOtheration this

Additions are continually made to the
already appalling list of marine disasters for
the year. Gales have swept the coasts of the
British American Provinces, wrecklng many
vessels, but, so far as heard, causing no loss
of life. A dreadful calamity is reported
from the North Sea, where an American-bound
ship from Hamburg, laden with emigrants'
has been stranded. The loss of life Is very
great; eighty persons are reported to have
been swallowed in the sea, thus adding another
tragic item to the mournful record. The Ger
man Consul-General has found it necessary to
appeal to the sympathies of Americans for the
relief of the distressed German residents OF the
Baltic coast. Their story is one of great want
| and suffering.

of the Presidents Message relating to Cuba

therefore resent every reference to it, The

The Grand Jury of the Criminal Court Of Chicago
came in recently with most melancholy present.
ment The jurors told the Court that it was almost
useless for grand jury to find an indictment against

hearing it, will be glad to examine it's bold
assertions and conclusions, as well as to enjoy
Its beauty and grace.

Col. McComb is reported to have said that
he is ready to tell the Credit Mobilier lnves-
tigation Committee all he knows of bribing
Congressman but he must be interro2ated-
he will volunteer nothing. He does say, more
over, that he knows of one undeniable case
of bribery in Congress. Thsre will be pain
full curiosity to know who is to be affected by
his evidence in that particular. Speaker
Blaine, on his part, is reported to have denied
all connection with the Credit MObiler trans
actions, quite as explicitly as he did during
the campaign last Summer AS the investiga-
ton 10 conducted in secret, it is obvious that
correct conclusions cannot be drawn until the
summary of evidence is published.

We see it stated that the Boston Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has raised $1,000,
with which proposes to lobby through" Congress
"Bill to Prevent Cruelty to Animals while in Tran
sit by Railroad" We have objection TO tho Bill,
but we have great objection to the spending OF
$4,000 OF $1,000 or any money at all in getting the
Bill through Congress. 1t may not be exorbitant
price to pay for a good measure. but Congressman
are already handsomely paid for doing their best,
and neither they nor their lobby hangers-on are en-
titled to any extra gratuities. We have cudgeled
our brains in vain TO discover how this money can
be properly spent in forwarding the proposed egis-
ation and if the Society has much sympathy for
men as it has for animals it will be cautious how it
helps to establish precedents which viii bear heavily
upon poor petitioners in Washington.

In the midst of alarms, it is agreeable to
sec that the speck of war which disturbed
Brazil and the Argentine Confederation has
disappeared. The quarrel arose out of the
objection made by the Argentine Confedera-
ton TO the course pursued by Brazil in pri-
vstely concluding separate treaty with Para
quay, at the close of the late war. The Allies
are now placed on an equal footing, and the
Brazilian treaty is not disturbed. For time,
at least, this insures peace.

The closest scrutiny and investigation will
probably fail to establish the origin of the

and should be.

ena of the life matrimonial What queer story is

Taylor wife of q cooper, elopcd with his clerk
young man of 10, and also with the cOopefs money
and jewelry. The absconding pair were absent for
week. when they came back of their own accord.
Then it was that the injured husband showed that
he was of mighty forgving disposition, for he re-
ceived the wicked wife and the unfathful clerk into
his house again. Then came the constable and ar
rested tue clerk, at which his master expressed the
greatest grief, sending him bedding to the police
station, and sending him also the frail Mrs. Taylor
to comfort him. Then he withdrew the action and
offered to bail the prisoner which he allowed to
do when this singular husband left the court appa-
rently much relieved.

A most remarkable case Of conscience comes TO us
from Boston. From doorstep Of that most con-

pitcher containing pint Of milk. What pangs of
remorse the thief suffered we can only infer fom
the fact that upon subsequent morning the pitcher
returned to it's accustomed place and in it were
found four cents, the value of the stolen milk which
the thief had probably drank for his breakfast and
no could not return. We should really like 10 know

It is not exactly clear why the Attorney
! General of the United States should be called
in to settle local quarrel in Alabama. But
as the basis of settlement which he furnishes
the contestants is, in the main, just, and
characterized by strong common sense, we
need not be over-particular in scrutinzing Its
antecedents. Be it remembered that there
were several contested seats in the Alabama
Senate and House Of Representatives. Certifi-
Gates of election were gwen to some OF the
contestants (who were ConservativeS and
were refused to others, who were Republicans.
Those who had no certificates, joined by some
of their own faith, whose election was not
contested, organized a Legislature OF their
own they then took in many persons who
had not even been candidates in any election
case; and thus they secured quorum. This
is the Legislature which Gov. Lewis has
recognized and which has reelected Senator
Spencer 1t is now proposed by Attorney
General Williams that both Legislatures sur
render their organization and begin de novo,
the contested seats being filed by the action
of the respective branches of the Legislature
in which they occur, and after due hearing OF
| both parties to the contests This is substan-
tally the so-called compromise. 1t is what
should have been done in the first place; but
the Republicans, having made up their minds
that they would not get justice, never asked
for it, but summarily and incOntinently boited.
While the case Of the alleged usurpation of
authority by the U. s. Circuit Court of Lou
isiana is in the Supreme Court, the President
has recognized Mr.. Pinchback as Acting Gov
ernOr of Louisiana. No decision has yet been
reached in the Supreme Court; arguments
were made yesterday by Messrs. Phillips and
Ogden for the WarmOth side, and Messrs.
Caleb Cushing and Carpenter for the Kellogg
party The whole matter hinges on the ques
ton of the jurisdiction of the Court which so
summarily swept aside the State Govern
ment Of Louisiana, and thereby substi-
tuted that of Kellogg and Others. Could
Kellogg have any standing in the U. S.
Circuit Court before his alleged rights had
been invaded by the Inauguration of his COM
petitor in the late election7 Was he to wait
until McEnery was actually in Office before
commencing proceedings to Gust him; or
should he begin proceedings forthwith, in
order to prevent-by injunction-the official
declaration of the vote which was to be given
to McEneryf The Supreme Court will tell us
whether only one or both these courses were
open to Kellogg. The constitutional disability
of Kellogg, who is Senator and also claims
to be Governor-elect, is yet to be tried in
some other Court. Meantime Mr.. Pinchback,
who also claims to be COngressman-a Large,
is Acting Governor. 1t does not appear how
the President can decide who is Governor of
Louisiana on the mere presentation of q
query.
