BREAKFAST CAPS.

Breakfast caps are worn by all mar
ried ladies, and are becoming even 10
the youngest matrOn. At some of
the best French houses the fine old
thread lace called Malines is used for
these caps, associated with a small biz
of linen cambria and rich faille ribbon
of the palest tints. Ladies with small,
delicate features wear the corOnet cap,
with full ruche in front, while large
featured, broad faces look best in fiat
FancheOr, with Marie Stuart point
above the head and forehead. These
coiffures are for ornament only, and
display, rather than conceal, hand
somely arranged hair. The widows
cap has a large crown that covers the
entire cignOn. Fine white Grape, tar
latan, or Grape lisse is the material for
widows caps.

Too long and too diligently have they

OF society, taking relaxation by fits and

they might as we'll ask themselves why
they continue to tell, to speculate, and to
rack their braina, when life of compara'

Buffers Trick Defeated.

That clause of the Ku-Klux act which
suspends the privilege of the writ of
habsas corpus expires by limitation with
the present session of Congress. At the
time of the passage of the act Mr.. Trum.
bull, in the Senate, objected to the sus-
pension of the writ in the manner pro-
posed, on the ground that it was uncon-
stitutional. Other eminent jurists have
expressed similar opinion. Gen. But.
ler, however, thinks that any sort of Leg
islation is good enough for the South, and
that the more stringent it can De made
and the lotger the machinery of despOtism
can be kept employed, the better the Pur-
poses OF the Radical will be served. He
wants the authority to suspend the writ
Of hab.as corpus continued until after
the next Presidential election, and thenee-
forward just as long as be can find hackers
as malignant as himself. To keep the law
in force as it stands, he moved on Thurs
day last that Congress should not adjourn
sine die at fixed time. as is customary,
but that it should stake recess" till the
last of November. The House, however,
rejected the proposition by a large ma.
jority, and now, unless special act shall
be passed, the right of Gen. Grant to sus.
pend the writ at his sovereign will and
pleasure will cease before long, never, let
US hope, to be again restored.- Baltimore

Now for Morton.

The Democracy Of Connecticut have
shown their power and tested the siuceri,
ty of the Liberal Republicans of Con-
necticut by uniting their forces and de-
feating Governor Hawley for the United
States Senate, the caucus nominee OF the
Grant Republicans, and re-electing Sen
ator Ferry for six years to represent that
State in the upper branch of Congress.
This result shows what can and will be
done by men desirous of bringing the
Government back to its old usages and
practices, aild striking down those who
have been active IN pervsrting the Gov
ernment from the design OF it's authors.
Let this defeat of the Grant caucus in
Connecticut be the keynote OF the cam
paign inaugurated in the Cincinnati
movement. Let US next dispose of Nor
ton, of Indiana, the most INSCRIPTIONS
and corrupt man in the United States
Sc nate. Let the Democracy through
out the coSntry unite their forces with
those Of the Liberal Republicans, and
weed out the corruptionists from both
Houses of Congress.-Cm. Enquirer.

STEALING THE RECORDS.
Campaign Reports Carried Oh.

Washington, May 2S.-An astonishing
revelation was made to the House Mill.
tary Committee TO. day. The inVestiga-
tion of the War Department records have
prepared them to believe almost anything
about the state in which the mutilation
and abstraction, that has taken place for
four years, have left the official history of
the war, but they were staggered when
credible witness testified that all the
brigade, division, corps, and army head.
quarters reports, made during the war,
the witness Mr.. Cunningham, a clerk in
the War Department, who is in charge of
the files room, where the records were
kept. He asserted positively that the
reports were all done, and that he beliey-
ed Gen. Adam Badeau had taken them
away. He will be further examined to.
morrow, and will produce copies of let
ters written to Badeau asking a return of
the papers, and Bsdeau's replies. This
evidence produced such an effect upon tie
Committee that some members who had
tacitly consented to Mr.. Coburn's rule
that the proceedings should be kept Sc.
crot, determined to make an effort to pass
in the House resolution directing the
Committee to opeu its doors and publish
the testimony taken. A resolution to this
effect was prepared by Democratic men,
Der, but no opportunity occurred for pre-
senting it to-day. 1t will probably be
offered tomorrow. Mr.. Cobum is under
stood to be strongly opposed to its pas
sage. The importance of the revelations
made by Mr.. Cunningham will be under
stood by all men who served in the war.
The headquarters reports comprise the
only official accounts of campaigns and
form a complete history of the war writ
ten by the prominent actors in it immed-
ately after the occurrence of the events
described. Their loss is an irroparable
one, for with them perish the most valua.
bic and authentic material for future his.
torians of the great struggle for the Tn.
ion; and tamperiug with them is poisoning
the very fountain of history.

Farmers Convention,

The Philadelphia Inquirer, Of a re-
cent date said;
Knoxville, Tenn, has in its midst at
present farmers convention. Upward
Of two hundred agriculturists are i'll
council, and that their interchange Of
views will rebound to the benefit OF the
region which they represent, there is
not doubt Farmers conventions are
excellent institutions and should with
out delay be provided for in every State
Of the Union. Merchants, and even
editors assemble to compare notes, and,
from the sum total of individual expe-
rience, learn how best benefit the COM
munities among whom they labor.
There are many and good reasons why
the worthy tillers of our soil should
periodically meet together, compare
notes, exchange experiences, and let the
cities and towns know something OF
the manner in which our great but mod
est agricultural interests are furthered
and fostered. In this matter our far
mers cannot move too soon.
Let them choose the season OF the
year most convenient to themselves.
First organize in county, and then in a
State convention; and should the latter
body honor Philadelphia with its sit
tings, the cultivators OF the Keystone
States broad acres may feel certain OF
receiving right royal welcome. Let
our farmers agitate this interesting sub
ject, and next winter, after the turmoil
of the Presidential campaign, meet in
Philadelphia, and, from the metropolis
OF the State, dispense wise words OF
counsel to every county and township
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware.
