THE GOOD OLD WAY.-Tho Arizona
Citizen thus describes the way of harvest
ing in Santa Cruz Valley: First the
grain is cut with sickles, then a rope is
attached to a raw-hide and tied to the
horn of saddle; the horse then is ridden
through the field and the grain is piled on
this raw-hide and dragged to some CEN
trail place in the field. Here it is heaped
up and horses are made to travel in a
circle around the main pile until the grain
is threshed. This mode Of harvesting
and threshing grain may seem a slow
process to our Western farmers, but it
has one virtue; it is the same way it was
done l 800 years ago, and with those who
do not believe in advancement that is
sufficient reason why it should be done so
now." The Union can clip this out and
lay it one side to be used as an editorial
when it gets the ox-teams started again
in opposition to the railroads. five have
to retrograde, we had better go all lengths
at once.

The LARGEST CAVERN IN THE WORLD

THE LARGEST CAVERN IN THE WORLD.
At the Hartford meeting of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement Of
Science, Mr. Porter @. Bliss, late Sec
rotary of Legation in Mexico, gave a
description of the Cave of Cacahuamil-
pa, which, according to his statement,
is the largest cavern in the world. 1t
includes a series of broad and lofty halls,
with lateral passages, extended upon the
same level an immense distance into the
heart of lofty range of mountains.
These halls abound in colossal stalactl-
ties ard stalagmites, of every conceivable
grotesque and fanciful form. At a depth
of 200 or 800 feet beneath the cave the
mountain is penetrated by two rivers Of
considerable size, which at their entrance
are about half d mile apart, and, after
flowing a distance, by direct measure
ment, of five miles, emerge from the
mountain in close proximity, and thence
uniting, form one of the chief afhuents
of the Mexicola. The channels In the
solid rock through which these rivers
emerge are said by Mr.. Bliss to be large
enough to admit the Hartford State
House. Fragments of timber and debris
are often hoated through the mountains,
but these subterranean river-beds have
never been explored. Myriads of bats
and nocturnal birds seek shelter or make
their abode in the mouths of the cave,

A ROMANTIC story is told Of tenant
less house at Somerville, Mass. It was
built by rising young Boston law
yer who was engaged to be married.
He had fully furnished the house and
was soon to take his young bride home,
when the engagement was broken off.
The disappointed lover shut up his new
house, just as it was, declaring that it
should not be opened as long as the
would have been bride should live.
That was 20 years ago, and the house
still stands closed, just as it was prepar-
ed to welcome its expectant mistress.

The Exploded Imitation Folly.

The preposterous craze which seized the
Western members of Congress last winter has
been pretty effectually cured by the business
experience Of the country since the adjourn
ment. We are in the midst of the most active
season, and it is found that the banks, both
Of the East and the West have great deal
more money than their customers can employ.
Senator Shurz, who did excellent service last
winter against the imitation heresy, has re-
Gently furnished neat practical refutation Of
the pretence that the West needed more bank
circulation. He wrote to Mr. Knox, the
Comptroller Of the Currency, requesting q
statement Of the mount of addition made to
the bank notes of Missouri under the act of
June 20. Mr.. Knox shows in his reply that
although that State is entitled by law to more
than double its present circulation, and has
free permission to increase it, it has been
diminished by mo1e than million and half
since the passage of the act. Several new
banks have been authorized in that
State, but none Of them have COM
pleted their organization. No bonds have
been deposited and there is no Immediate
likelihood that any new circulation will be
taken out On the contrary, three of the
st. Louis banks have deposited legal tender
notes and withdrawn bonds to the amount of
81, 500, 600, proving that in the estimation of
Western bankers the Western Congressman
raised mistaken cry. Comptroller Knox
states that the quota of bank circulation ap-
portioned to Missouri is SIS, 459, 400, of which
50, 29S, ,S21 remains untaken, although it can
be had at any time by complying with the law.
The ST. Louis Democrat which was an infa-
ton journal last winter, has become convinced
of its error and is doing good service on the
other side. The battle against initiation has
been SO completely won that it will never have
to be fought over again in this country, but
new contests, involving the same principle,
will arise on the question of contraction when
ever serious attempt is made to restore
specie payments

! In the present stage of the discussion we
think the President was clearly right in grant
ing Kellogg's second application, and we in
cline to the opinion-though with more hesi-
tation-that Mr. johnson correctly expounds
the law which ought to govern him. There
is q passage in Chief Justice Taney's we'll
known opinion in the Dorr case that seems to
throw light on this question, although neither
Mr.. o. Conor nor Mr.. johnson have alluded to
it. We refer to the passage in which the Court
states that Congress might, if they had
deemed it most advisable to do so, have
placed it IN the power of a court to decide
when the contingency had happened
which required the federal government
TO interfere" For the sake of illustration let
us suppose that Congress had done this.
What would have been the legal effect of the
decision OF United States court in case
like that from Louisiana? It would have
been judicial determination of the disputed
question OF the Governorship. If federal
court, clothed by Congress with the requisite
jurisdiction had decided that Kellogg was the
legal Governor Congress having made no
provision for an appeal, would the decision or
would it not have the force of final ajudica-
ton? Let us consider the extent of ground
which such decision would cover BY de-
Gliding that Kellogg was Governor the Court
would decide that he was entitled to the Office,
not merely for the nonce, but for the whole
unexpired portion Of his term of four years.
The decision would necessarily have that ex-
tent, for the very point decided would be that
he was Governor by the constitution and laws
of the State, and by the constitution and laws
the Governor holds for definite period. Once
legally in office his term could not be short
ened by the decision Of any court, nor by
Congress itself. The only question would be
whether the first decision OF the Court, from
which Congress had provided no appeal, per-
fected his legal title to the Office. If so, every
department of the federal government would
rightful Governor until the expiration Of his
term. Now, Congress having invested the
President with the same authority with which
it might have clothed court, it is fair
question for jurists whether his decision be
not as permanently binding as that of ju-
dicial tribunal. We have merely indicated
some Of the points which we would like to
see more fully discussed as means of en-
tightening the public judgment. The subject
is one Of the most complex that ever engaged
the attention Of profound lawyers, and when
men Of the ripe experience and pre-eminent
professional standing of Mr. Johnson and
Mr.. OConor maintain opposite views the
question cannot be thought free from diff
fculties.

The Pulpits and Pews OF New York

In the accounts of the sermons we print 20
day there will not be found, we think, single
accident TO O church member. Yet there
were yesterday, in the quiet and beauty Of
still October Sunday evening, when the pure
stars Of heaven looked sorrowfully upon the
sinful earth, eleven wild bulls loose in the
streets Of New York. These savage animals
roamed the city seeking whom they might
gore, and large number OF persons, as will
be seen elsewhere, were found. How much
better would it have been for these victims Of
the bulls had they been faithful attendants
upon divine service. To be ''sate as church.
is an old proverb, which dates from the time
when the altar was place Of refuge, and last
evening even Plymouth church would
have been q good place to attend.

ated bulls pursued had they listened
to the Rev. DR.. Alexander upon the nature Of

the Rev. Mr.. Hepworth's sermon upon 1.-The
Sinners Relation to Christ" and that Of the
Rev. Father Stumpf upon the enemies
Of the Church. The horns Of Moses
were referred to by another clergyman,
and would have been preferred in this
startling dilemma to other horns which were

Hawthorne was installed as pastor Of the
Tabernacle Baptist church, and delivered an
address on infdelty. At st. Brdgets there
was an immense congregation, not brought
together as might be supposed, by the under
standing that Mr.. and Mrs Fitch would be
present, but by anxiety to know how to pre-
vent "The Loss Of the Soul" which was the
subject Of the Rev. Father Moneys sermon.

Broadway Tabernacle, and the Rev. DR..

The Proposed Convention OF State
Governors.

There has been conference at Nashville
between the Governor of Tennessee and the
Governor of Kentucky on the proposition
submitted to Governor Brown from nu-
merous individuals in the Southern States for
conference of Southern democratic Gov
ernors as soon as practicable after the APP
proaching Republican Convention OF the
Southern States at Chattanooga, "with the
view OF meeting and resisting the anticipated
incendiary pronunciamiento from that quarter "
The conference between the two aforesaid
Governors and other persons joining them
was an agreement to recommend meeting OF
all the democratic Governors, or of all the
State Governors of both parties, North and
South, for the purpose of calm, earnest and
patriotic discussion of State rights and State
wrongs under the existing order of things
and the needful remedies for the wrongs COM
planned of. We have no objection to submit
against this proposed conference, for we think
the parties concerned in it will soon discover
that the work before them is too great for any
representative body, except o national con-
vention, representing all the interests of all
the States and all the people Of the United
States.

THE vRGIN1Us CAsE.-The rumor that the
British have effected settlement in the
Virginius case, her government having
received large indemnity from Spain,
seems to have excited much attention in
Washington. We have an official statement
to the effect that, Notwithstanding what has
been concluded in reference to England, "our
government is still pressing upon Spain
the Importance Of an arrangement
which will satisfy our people" We
can we'll understand the difficulty Of bringing
any Spanish government to business dec-
sion, and we must, of course, consider the
unfortunate state of the country in accounting
for the delay. But General Grant must
have an answer from Serrano or submit to
defeat in our diplomacy of q most humiliat-
ing character. To indemnify England and
ignore the United States in matter where
our claims are hundred times more pressing
is an indignity that we should not suppose
that even Mr.. Fish would endure

journals in California, responds to the
HERALD's suggestion that there should be o
national convention of peace and reconstruc-
ton by hearty indorsement:-' con-
vention," the editor aptly says, "would most
surely put down the lies now being circulated
for the purpose ofkeeping up or rather revving
the asperties created by the late war;" This
in itself would be noble result. Most of the
differences and alterations between States
and sections spring from passion and false
hood. There can be no surer way toward
good understanding than communion of the
leading men of all sections in national con-
vention. California especially is perplexed
by the labor problem and Oriental emigra-
ton, problem that already has menaced its
peace. Nothing graver looms up in our
political future; and why not consider it now
in national convention?
