just as the sun was rising over the blue

August, 1922, three small vessels, two of
them without decks, but with forecastles
and cabins for the crews, sailed from the
little port of Palos, in Spain, under com

OF new world. 1t seems almost Incredible
that only 200 years ago science had made
such slight attachments that council of the

the crown, should have declared the asser-

Caustio but Truthful Obituary.

The forty-second congress, which has Just
ended its inglorious career by grab on the
treasury of Sl,jO0,OO0, after having fattened
every other treasury plunderer who could pre-.
sent plausible scheme that had money in it
and was willing to divide, is thus cenotaphcd
by the " Sun:
This has been Sccor Robeson'S Congress.
This has been brothcr-in-law Casey's Con.
gresS.,
This has been brazcn.browed Pinchbacll's
Congress.
This has been drunken Judge Durclls Con-
gress.
This has been the Congress of the French
arms swindle.
This has been the Congress of Grants New
York Custom-housc whitewashing.
This is the Congress which looked approx
ingly upon Harlan'S acceptance OF Durant 5
checks for $4,000 to aid him in purchasing
his Senatorial seat
This is the Congress which saw Ben Butler
overawc one of its committees because it al
lowed it to be proven that Ben took $4,000
from the Union Pacific railroad for drawing
upa contract
This is the Congress which has cOndOncd
ColfaX's perjury.
This is the Con gress which let POmeroy out
at the back door Of the Independence Bank
dodge.
This is the Congress which furnished Prof
Patterson with IL coating of wLicwash to go
home in--but very thin, though.
This is the Congress which, in the face of
the damning proofs Ex-senator Clayton frauds,
said to that shameless scoundrel, "Well done,
good and faithful servant
This is the Congress which dared not turn
out Caldwell for buying his seat in the Senate,
because the Senate feared that in response to
nearly every vote in the affirmative the cul-
prit would rise up and say, You're another"
This is the Congress which bound the sins
and iniquities of Coltax, Patterson Allison,
Logan, Wilson, Kelley, Dawes, Blaine Bing-
ham Garfield and we know not how many
other tainted Senators and Representatives, up
on the shoulders of Cakes Ames and James
Brooks, with intent to send them as scape-
goats into the wilderness, but failed to do so
because it turned out that there were not
enough virtuous member in the house to eX
pei the corrupt ones.
This is the Congress which great railway
corporations owned and used as their needs
required, and which avenal lobby bought and
sold day by day.
This is the Congress which some Macaulay.
of the next century will describe as more in
famous than the Parliament which originated
Laws celebrated Mississippi scheme, and
more corrupt than those parliaments which
Walpole used to purchase as he bought Meri-
no sheep and Flanders mares to stock his cs-
tate in Sussex.
In fine this is the Congress which the
American people yesterday as the clock struck
10, hooted out of the Capitol.

Chickens Coming Home,

When the farmers OF Illinois were throwing
up their hats and singing paeans to Grant and
the continental congress for passing such
strngncnt KuKlly laws to punish traitors,
did it occur to them that in comforting such
extraordinary powers on the national executive
and Judiciary they might be forging letters
for themselves. 4 few weeks ago, a dozen or
so of honest farmers in central Illinois con
cludcd that rs the laws Of this state made 3
cents per mile the legal rate of fare on our
railroads, while the railroads themselves de-
manded cents mile, they would test the
question whether the law OF thelegislature or
the railroads was supreme. They took a ride
on the railroad and paid their three cents,
and then said TO Glc railroads. Now 20 to the
courts and see if you can get any more" The
railroads accepted the challenge in a way
these unsophisGcated farmers little dreamed of.
Instead OF commencing civil suit in the To-
a fair trail by an honest jury of the vcinagc,
the railroad companies proceed against them
rs rioters, criminals traitOrous disturbcrS of
the peace under the ku-Klux laws of the Uni
tea States, in [. s District Court, where the
farmers have les if any acquaintances and no
friends, and Where the expcnscsof defence
are simply ruinouS tomcn of moderate means.
Hitherto il had been n sort of notion in this
country, that when man committed an Of
Tense against Che peace and dignity of the state
of Illinois, it Gas an affair which concerned
nobody outside n Illinois, and could only be
punished under and pursuant to the laws OF
Illinois. Certainly the government OF the
United States had no more right under the
constitution as hitherto understood, To step in
and assert Jurisdiction to punish men for cont
hitting "rios' ut Lexington, Illinois, than
England or France could step in and claim
such jurisdiction But under radical ideas
things are woni crfully changed. State rights
are played out, and when a man begins to
talk about the constitution it is pretty sure
sign that b. is traitor,n

Justices Of the Peace---Must Elect in April.
The dictHm of the judiciary committees OF
the two houses Of the Illinois legislature, mcu
toned by Us last week, that no election OF
justices of the peace, under the law of the
last legislature can take place at the town
elections in April 1873, holding the act of tn,
last legislature to that effect to be Imconstiu
tional, is ovcrruled by Attorney General Ed
sail, who, in an elaborate opinion, now bcfur,
us, shows conclusively that the act of the last
Legislature directing justices TO be elected at
the coming April town elections is constitu
tional and in force, and that the justices thus
elected will be duly commissioned The
ground on which the attorney Gencralmakcs
this decision is that, although, under the new
constitution the justices elected in 1870 do
not go out of Office until 1874, yet The lcgisla-
turc is pot limited in the number of justices
il can order to be elected and that, therefore,
the justices elected this spring will be in adj.
dition 10 the former justices, and not in lieu
of them. I'm cases, however, where the pres
EN- incumbents are reelected under the new
Law. there will, Of course, be no increase OF
the rumbern
While the election of justices next April is
thus imperative, the law of 1872 says nothing
about Police Magistrates and constables. and
they viii be elected, as heretofore, under the
law Of 1854, which is not repealed, their next
election occurring, therefore in 1874, 1873,

"Shc hove and sot, and Sot and hove,
And high her ruddcr flung
And every time she hove and sot,
A wllSscr leak she sprung"
A Lame Defence.

Some of the retiring congressman, ashamed
of the 5000 grab they made on the treasury
at the close of the session, have paid report
cr of the associated press to send out plea
of justification in their behalf, to the effect
that their object was not to increase tlcil
own pay, hut to cqaali-e the pay between the
members. Thus they say, the California and
Pacific slope members got from $4,000 Il
$1,000 more pay in the shape of mileace than
those living in the vicinity of Washington
while the bill just passed gives the member,
$4,000 year all round, and allows them in
lieu of mileage simply the actual travelling
expenses. This is Il shallow dodge. Would
not the equalization have been the same
if the "actual expenses" had been substituted
for the mileage, and the increase Of $4,000
omitted? There is no escaping the ugly
point in the busincss,-tha these members of
congress had gone to Washington with the
full understanding that they were 10 receive
$1,000 year rs salary, with mileage, station
cry and other stcalings thrown in; and that,
at the close of their terms, when the service
had been performed and the pay received, of
their own motion, like set of greedy thieves,
they saw an opportunity to make final grab
at the treasury of million and a hall, and
they made it, Even at half of 5000 year.
we doubt whether many Of them will ever
again have an opportunity to waste their
precious talents and energies in serving the
people at Washington.

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.

The n. Y. World calls attention to what
must be regarded as one of the most singular
phenomena of the age-the abrupt manner in
which the redoubtable ku-kluX-klan folded
their tents like the Arabs and stole away i'm
mediately after the presidential election.
Says that journal;
| The mysterious disappearance of the ten
tribes of Israel is scarcely parallel to ii, for
that great departure was hcralded BY prophc-
cy and succeeded by solicitude and inquiry.
| The ku-kluX ha Q completely gone, and left
behind them not even IL sui phureous stencil,
nor SO much of trail as a foX-hound could
follow Nothing remains of them, indeed
but the thirteen bulky volumes of reports and
testimony, which, like children and other
Injuries, have to be paid for, and sundry
written but unuttered speeches of members of
congress, which lie folded away in the desks
like bridal garments never worn
The formidable conspiracy which threat
cncd the existence of nine states; which ban
ished the loyal men of the South by the
hundred thousands" which exhausted the en-
ergies of the department of Justice, and occu
pied Il large part of the army of the United
States: which fired the northern heart once
more, kept the executive sleeplcSs with many
cares, and induced an APPALLED, congress to
drive wagon-rOad through the constitution;
which forced Judge Bond to whet the sword
OF justice until it was sharper than serpent's
tooth, and filled the Albany penitentiary with
crackers and sand-hillers-this mighty con
spiracy vanished in single day, and so COM
plctcly that it is not necessary to have
memory as trcaCherous as Mr.. ColfaX'S, or
needing TO be so often refreshed as Alr, Oakes
Amcs', for one to doubt if the thing really
ever existed, even in imagination. The troops
which were imperatively needed to defeat
tie traitorous designs of the 100000 rough
riders are suddenly withdrawn TO avert the
certainly subordinate peril likely to ensue
the country from Captain Jack and his two
hundred Modoc braves, The heads so in
discriminately chopped off by Bonds rude

What does this mean, can it by any chance
be possible that presidential proclamationS,
congressional investigations, and suborned
testimony OF interested or ignorant witnesses
do not really make what pOsterity Is wiling
to accept for history? Can we be expected
