Taking Ground Against the Gag Law.

The Hon. Charles J, Faulkner, formerly
Minister to France, announces himself a
candidate for Congress- in the Harper 5
Ferry district in Virginia. In long and
carefully prepared address to the voters,
he says:
Il am opposed to the act recently passed
by Congress, vesting certain judicial pow
ers in the courts Of the District of Colum-
bia, in conflict with the freedom Of the
press aud the liberty of the citizen, and
would vote for its immediate repeal.
Both principles and policy will lead many
other candidates to follow the example so
promptly set by Mr., Faulkner, and COM
nit themselves unequivocally for the re-
peal of this law. The question is too vital
For any one seeking popular support to
evade it or seek to occupy neutral posi-
ton toward it, This act must inevitably
ultimately share the fate Of the old Alien

plete and circumstantial statement, soon to
be made to the committee, will wholly clear
him from suspicion of wrong. The only ap-

tends te have witnessed, in long years Of
close intimacy, Mr.. Beecher pronounces
utter and diabolical falsehoods. In every.

people of the world, are the committee

innocence. To-day they rejoice in the clos

Locusts and Grasshoppers,

The New York Heruld, of the 9Th inst.
has the annexed article on the subject o
the pests that are pers ecutng some of tn,

al authorities and claimed to be safesuard

less, sends the farmer to some simple and
mechanical means of contending with the
evil
1T is questionable whether the invasions
OF grasshOppers can ever be prevented in
some portions of the West. These insects
are bred in myriad numbers on the Rocky
Mountain slopes ana protected by the
snow covering OF the soil until the genial
weather OF spring arrives and they can 60
forth on their deprcdations. In their
breeding places they cannot be reached.
But when a colony has moved eastward
and deposited its eggs in the soil they may
be attacked. 1t is said that in the South
west the spring crop of grasshoppers has
sometimes been cut off by deep plowing
and turning over the layer of soil upon the
eggs to crush them, This expedient. es-
pecially il repeated, may be etfectual But
the great aim of the agriculturist ought to
be to expose the soil and subsoil to the
freezing temperatures Of winter and spring
Were it possible to remove the snow, so
that the intense cold should penetrate the
earth, the deadly effect on all insect life
lying dormant there would be very marked.
1t is not necessary in the Northwest that
this should be done in midwnter, for the
March and April winds are frigorifc
enough. 1t appears likely, therefore, that
the farmers who can turn up their fields
while the cold weather lasts would have
the best prospect of escaping the ruinous
presence of locusts.

The Port Byron Equalization.

that they cannot send supervisor who

either from torgetfulness or inability, the
Board of Supervisors made no effort tC

with adjoining out lots or lands, and Port
Byron people suffered more severely than

was perpetrated great outrage, by which

to pay more than their share Of taxes
This year Port Byron suffers again, in
the same way, notwithstanding that town
sent supervisor who was particularly
charged to attend to that matter and look
out for the interest of his people. But he
failed to secure for his constituents a fair
and satisfactory equalization of town lots
with outlying lands. Perhaps his atten-
lion was so absorbed with the momentous
question of beer that he had no time or in.
b study any other matters. And
on the beer question he voted against the
written instructions or petition of major
