/. LITTLE GIRLS GooD-BY.

Good-by, daisy, pink, and rose,
And snow-whlte lily too,
Every pretty flower that grows,
Here's kiss for you.
Good-by, merry bird and bee;
And take this tiny song
For the ones you sang to me
All the summer long.
Good-by, messy little rill,
That shivers in the cold;
Leaves that fall on vale and hill
Cover you with gold.
A sweet good-by to birds that roam,
And rills and flowers and bees;
But, when the winters gone, come home
As early as you please.

OK Saturday last three companies
of /. :. soldiers under the command
of Captain Thomas left Gen. Gillem's
camp for the purpose Of ascertaining
where Capt Jack and his fifty or sixty
Modoc warriors had located themselves
after leaving their former stronghold
in the lava beds. Capt Thomas and
his men were very soon and unexpect-
edlv given a bloody solution of the
question, for they had not proceeded
more than two miles ere they were sur
prised by the Modocs in their rocky
entertainments, and lost nineteen men
killed, including several officers, and
eight men wounded, many of whom
were left en- the ground to the tender
mercies of the savages, the tt oops lie
ing unable to bring them Off This is
a sad and unfortunate beginning of the
war of determination against the nu-
merically contemplate tribe of In
dians. As to when and how this Mo-
doc business will end, we have not the
most remote conception. 1t forebOdes
u vast deal of trouble as well as i'm
mense expense to the government.

GOVERNOR HARTRANFT's political
conscience revolts at the iniquities of
the Congressional Apportionmcnt bill
passed by the last Radical Legislature
and he has not yet signed it. He is
of course aware that this State will
not elect members of Congress at the
next October election and that there
fore there is no necessity for him either
to sign the bill or veto it before the
meeting of the next Legislature. He
went into the veto business very cXten-
sively during the late session, and if
he believes that the minority has rights
which a majority is bound to respect,
he will never permit a bill so unjust
and outrageous as this to disgrace the
statute book.

WHEN the Constitutional Convention
consented % listen to address Ses by u
hevy of strong-minded women in favor
of providing III the organic law of the
State for female suffrage. we almost
abandoned the hope that any good
could come out of Nazareth, or that
the work Of its hands would prove ac-
ceptahle to the people. Since, how
ever, it has ceased to be annoyed bv
the platitudcs of these restless and
perturbed agitators, it has gone vigor-
ously to work to perfect the business
set before it. The three most impor-
tant subjects which have thus far en-
gagged its deliberations are the State
Treasury, Rail Roads, and the Judici-
ary-thc last mentioned, and by far
the most important, being now under
consideration. On this question it is
to be hoped that the Convention will
make haste slowly, and that nothing
definite will be adopted until after the
most patient and exhaustive debate.
The great danger to be apprehcnded
is, that the Convention in its zeal for
reform may attempt to do too much,
anu iJItSClJt ~ lIG lCOIiC a N'IiNIltSl-
tion So weighed down with multiple
city of new and in some instances I'M
wise provisions that they will prefer to
suffer present ills than fly to Others
they know not of The more concise
n constitution is, the more easily will
IT recommend itself to popular appro-
val. y man of Judgment will appre-
ciate and be convinced by a short SEN
tentious speech, directly to the oues-
tion at issue, rather than by an elabor-
ate display covering a score of pages
most of which is mere sound and fury
signifying nothing" 1t is idle, how
ever, to speculate Oh what will be or
will rot be done by the Convention.
When its work is finished and spl cad
before the people, they will be able to
arrive ac an Intelligent conclusion as
,Us merits.

FROM the report of the condition of
the wheat crop, just issued from the
Agricultural A Department, it appears
that in the Middle States a great inn
provement upon the showing of last
Spring is everywhere conceded espe-
cially III New Jersey and Pennsylva-
mia The prospects in the States south
of Maryland is less favorable than last
wear. and there are indications of di-
minishing area in the cotton States.
In Kentucky a more checkered show
ing is maze, giving a present appear
ance of decidedly unfavorable cast,
with Indications Of future improve
ment as the weather becomes settled

GRIMES always takes the hues and
aspect of the country in which they
are committed. They show not only
guilty men, but a guilty people. The
world holds those nations to be de-
based where crime abOunds. 1t does
not merely say that the laws are de-
fective and the judges corrupt, but
charges the guilt home to the whole
society. This is just, for most of the
crimes which disgrace us could not be
committed if there were not an indif-
ference to their causes on the part of
the community. As certain plaques
which sweep men into their graves
cannot rage without foul air, so many
crimes cannot prevail without wide
spread moral malaria. 1t is the greed
for gold, the love Of luxury in the
American people, which have caused
the legislative frauds, the municipal
corruptions, and the violations of trust
which excite alarm in our land. 1t is
the admiration of wealth, no matter
how gained, which incites and embOld-
els the desperate speculator in COM
mercial centres to sport with the sacred
interests Of labor, to unsettle the busi-
ness of honest industry by playing
tricks with the standards of value
Those who use the stocks of great cor
poratiOns as machines for gambling
schemes are more deliberately and art
fully dishonest than the more humble
swindler who throws his loaded dice.
Many of the transactions of our capi-
talists are more hurtful to the welfare
of our people than the acts of the
thieves and robbers In the better
days Of American simplicity, honesty
and patriotism, these things could not
have been done No one would then
dare to face people indignant at such
rapaciOus greed. Such influences have
led to frauds, defalcatiOns, breaches OF
trust. They have filled our prisons
and overwhelmed many households
with shame and sorrow Yet the au-
thors of such things are hOnored for
their wealth, and we ask with eager
ness how rich do they get, and not how
do they get riches.

He is THE MAN.-Gen. Garfield has pub
lished 4 long letter in reply to the resolu-
ton of a recent Republican Convention at
Warren, Ohio, calling upon him to resign
from Congress because he had voted for
the retroactive salary bill. If he ex-
claims, in concluding his letter, 1.-THE dele
gates believe the retroactive salary clause
is So infamous that l ought to resign for
voting for the appropriation bill to which
it was attached, will they follow out their
logic and insist that the President ought to
resign for signing it? My vote did not
make it law. His signature did"
This is all perfectly true, and it is not the
whole truth. The President not only
signed the bill when there was ample time
for him to send it back to Congress with
out his approval and have the back-pav
clause stricken out-and this would Ger
tainly have been done had he intimated
that he was opposed to such an act of plum
der-but worse than this, he lobbied for
the clause before it was adopted, evincino
more anxiety for its passage than even
Gen. Butler himself, the oStensible father
of the measure before the country and all
this President Grant did notwithstanding
that he had but just got himself elected
President upon the express condition that
he should receive SIS, 900 a year, and no
more, during his four years of office. AND
everybody knows that if this proposition
to give him $50, 900 year had appeared in
the platform of his party during the can
vass, not even the purchase of the Demo
cratic leaders i'll North Carolina nor the
unparalleled election frauds in Pennsylva-
mia could have saved him from crushing
defeat.
OF course Gen. Grant will not resign,
however great the indignation of the peo-
pie against this act of plunder may be but
the fact should not be forgotten when the
next election comes around.-N. Y. 4Sun.

THE country was somewhat startled
a short time ago by the announcement
that John G.. Fremont had been tried
before a French criminal court for
swindling or obtaining mOLey under
false pretences, and having been CON
victed, was sentenced to Imprisonment
for seven years. Gen. Fremont had
no notice of this proceeding. for the
reason that from its commencement to
its close he was in this country I'm
der fiction, however, of the law of
France, a man can be prosecuted for
criminal offence, even though the wide
Atlantic intervenes between him and
the tribunal before which he Is tried.
} The accusation against Gen. Fremont
was that, some years ago, he, acting
/ as President of the Memphis and Fl
! PasO Rail Road Company, had sold
bonds OF that Company to the amount
/ of over four millions of dollars to Ger
/ tain capitalists and bankers in Paris
/ that they were worthless, and that he
! knew it at the time of their negotiation.
/ \ very recent decision, however, of the
! Supreme Court of the United States
! would seem fully to vindicate Gen.
Fremont against any charge of dishon-
esty in the transaction. 1t appears
that in 1858 the Legislature of Texas
granted to the Memphis and FL Paso
Rail Road Company the exclusive
right to locate the land certificates of
the State for distance of eight miles
on each side of said road, from the
eastern boundary Of Texas to FL Paso.
After this an ordinance of a State Con
vention was passed, granting these
lands to actual settlers and repudiat-
ing the railroads grant of 1853. Gen.
Fremont finally got the disputed ques-
tion before the Supreme Court at Wash
ingtOn. whose decision sustains the
validity Of the original grant by Texas

THE following is the text of the
act increasing the pay of members of
Congress:
'And the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives shall, after the present Con-
gress, receive i'll full, for all his services,
compensation at the rate OF $4,000 per
annum; and Senators, Representatives,
and Delegates in the Forty second Con-
gress, holding such office at the passage of
this act, and whose claim to u seat has not
been adversely decided, shall receive s., 800
per annum each, and this shall be in lieu
of all pay and allowance except actual
individual travelling expenses from their
homes to the seat of Government and re-
turh, by the most direct route of usual
travel, once for each session, of the House
to which such Senator member, or Dele
gate belongs, to be certified to under his
hand to the discussing officer, and filed as
Il voucher Prorided That in settling the
pay and allowances of Senators, members,
/ and Delegates i'll the Forty Second Con
gress, all mileage shall be deducted and no
allowance made for expenses of travel"
The bill also contains an appropria-
ton of $l25 for newspapers and sta
! tionery for each Senator, Representa-
! tive, and Delegate i'll Congress. Each
member, therefore, is to receive a sala-
/ ry of 81, 500 a year, payable monthly
from the 4th of March, 1878 is to re
ceive his expenditure for travelling ex
! penses to and from his home, and $l25
! for newspapers and stationery. IT
| point of fact, therefore, the law gives
/ each member his actual mileage, OF
cost of travel, in addition to increased
! paw.

to the Memphis and FL Paso Rail Road
Company. The total amount of the
land grant is eight millions Of acres,
which entire amount passes to the Rail
Road Company conditioned upon 100,
Geo acres being set apart for the re-
demption Of the Memphis and FL Paso
bonds, which is regarded as amply suf-
ticIent for that purpose Whatever
failures Gen. Fremont may have made
i'll his political and military life, his
services as a pioneer in certain hazard
Gus enterprises are mquestioned. So
far as the sale by him in Paris Of these

rests upon his character under the de-
c;siOn of the Supreme Court above re-
fcrred to.
