ouaee assumes that invasion can come only

guage assumes that invasion can come only
from an exterior source, and that Congress con-
templated no invasion except by foreign ma
ton or some of the Indian tribes on our from
tier. But even conceding that the eonstitu-
tional provision includes the invasion OF one
State by the inhabitants of another, the gross
absurdity still remains of considering two per-
sons as an 'invasion" Itcan easily be proved,
however, that an irruption into one State
by the inhabitants of another was regarded by
the trainers of the constitution as case OF
domestic violence, to be put down by the State
authorities, if they are strong enough and II
not, by federal assistance duly applied tor;
It is not probable that this bill will get
through the Senate but the fact that it has
passed the House is an alarming symptom OF
the degeneracy of the times and OF the decay
of the spirit of liberty. All free governments
have been subverted by stealthy and gradual
approaches, and the most portentous feature
Of the present situation is the apathy with
which encroachments on the constitution have
of late years been submitted to by our people.
This lowering of the popular tone and this
torpor of the Jealous regard for freedom which
was so active and vigilant in the earlier periods
of the Republic, justified the vigorous notes of
warning raised by the Herald on the subject of
Cesarism. When vigilance for liberty is qui--
etly laid asleep some usurper will soon see and
seize his opportunity. The public apathy un,
der so many assaults on the constitutional
guarantees of freedom would soon create a
Caesar if there were not one already in train
ing. The spirit of abject submission and SER
Witty to power, so unworthy of freemen, soon
ceases to be odious if the people permit them
selves to get Injured to it.
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Encroachments on liberty must be met on
the frontier at their earliest approaches, or else
public feeling becomes so deadened that it can.
not be reused to resistance until the weight OF
oppression becomes intolerable. 1t is mortify-
ing and lamentable that, while republican SEN
timents have been making great progress in
the Old World, the spirit of liberty is sinking
into decay and gives signs of approaching
death in this country. We trust it is not yet
too late to arouse the people to sense of their
danger. The fact that so many of the Repub-
licans of the House voted against the Force
Bill is a good symptom, and if they and the
press of their party would assume bolderr
tone, and denounce the new tendencies toward
arbitrary power with the true spirit of freemen,
the seductive cup which is presented to the
lips of our Caesar might easily be dashed to the
ground.-N Y Herald.

EARLY Corn AND SUMNER DRoUeHTC
There are those who question the proprety OF
planting corn at all. 1t does not pay, they
think, and can hardly be made to pay on our
ordinary cotton lands. We do not advocate
the planting of any crop which does not pay
and cannot be made to pay, and we are not
prepared to say that corn can be made remu-
nnerative crop on every cotton plantation, but
we do feel warranted in saying that there are
but few farms which have not on them more
or less suitable corn land and the crop is in
dispensablc and should be grown at home, till
by more direct communications with the great
corn growing West, and cheaper transportation
we can more proftably buy it. In our hot Gil,
mate, where droughts are severe and frequent
during the summer, corn should be planted
early, so as to avoid in part at least, the danger
from that source Early planted corn may, it
is true, be seriously injured by drought, but it
is less liable than that planted later: Some
early variety may be planted with advantage
for a part of the crop. On level lands we
prefer to plant corn in checks, but on hilly
land, the drill system is preferable as, if the
rows are run around the hill OH level, as they
should be, the ridge prevents washirg.-Ru-

The Science Of Botany

While turning over the leaves of an old
book INV eve fell upon an article headed
v.Rotan;cal Wonders" On reading the piece,
r found it truly interesting, and the question
arose in nv mind why is it that out OF the
yreat number of men who devote their time to
the study of the liberal sciences, so few OF them
turn their attention to the study of the science
of Botany? frequently we hear men discuss
ing different departments of science, ana Varl-
ons products of nature, and often they are
,,ersons who delight in the study of nature
vet it is very seldom one can be heard to speak
Of the uee.of Botany. Is it because Botany
is an inferior science? Surely 1t cannot oe
that, for the trees, plants and flowers are tne
baant;6ers of our earth. They display rich
variety that cannot fail, at times to attract the
notice of the most uncultivated.
One man thinks there is no money in 1t, ana
therefore the science does not pay How ao-
surd !, Was man placed in this world simply
for the sake of money? But in the study ana
cnlture of flowers there is something better
than refined gold. The man is refined ana
that is far better than the money that perlsheth
with the using. Flowers have refining IN
fuence. This needs no proof The unsociaoie'
the uncultivated, and the unlearned, as gen.
eral rule, have no taste for flowers. DO" sell

Wrapped in his own isolated, stern nature, he
would live ina world without flowers or sun
shine. if there was not magic power behind
tho throne of his sel6shness that now and then
touches his finer sensibilities. The truly cultl-
waited lady in mind and heart, over whose pure
brow the fragrance of flowers love to linger-
whose nature is continually being refined by
the ouiet influence of sweet flowers as they
silently whisper the praises of Him who arrays
them in finer yesture than ever priesty klng
or potentate shall Wear-they, through her
gentle influence send back this message to

To cultivate and stady the flowers, which are
the only things that have the appearance OF
being left untouched by the blighting hand OF

the silent heavens bathe them with nightly
tears, while the morning sun stops to kiss them
into life again. The soft zephyrs steal the ira
GRANGE, and watt it home to "Flora." Inc
wintry blasts sweep over them-one by one the
leaves fall off, till at last the decayed stalk,

JAY GOULD AND TIE ERIE RAIL
WAY

When the Erie Railway Company instituted its ia
$40, 900 suit against Jay Could the latter it
is said caused estoppal to be put tho suit by
transferring stock and other property aggregatng in
value pretty nearly the full amount Of the claim. II is
alleged that he entered into agreement with the
company to make further transfer to tho
total Indebtedness 1t is claimed, however, that
he has failed to fulfil this agreement and suit has been
brought by the company against him TO compel him to
transfer to them ST. 200 900 worth OF stock and
other property There quite argument in the
yesterday in Supreme Court Chambers, before
complaint the prayer for specific performance Of con
tract.
Mr.. Shearman, on behalf Of Mr. Gould insisted that
the latter could not specifically perform agreement
10 convey portions of property onehalf of which was
owned BY the widow of the late James Fisk, Jr. He
claimed that the agreement could only be specifically
performed by the consent OF Mrs Fisk who
to do with the agreement and that the only action
properly to be brought one for damages to be
tried by jury and not for specific performances TO be
tried by court Of equity He cited various authori
ties in support Of his argument
In response Mr.. mcfarland contended that tho
thortes cited in support OF the motion had no bearing
whatever the case, and did not affect the issue. He
conended further that the complaint contained many
things, including call for an accounting; that the
of action arising out of the agreement in
question: that the motion properly brought; that
the prayer is appropriate and that there rule by
which judge in Chambers can determine whether
party entitled not to specific performance, and
strike out prayer for relief
Judge Donohue the argument being concluded, took
the papers, holding his decision in reserve.
