emOlument and honor, there is a great
inclination to control the suffrage of vo-
tiers, and though many of the best secret
societies, by strong bylaws. deny to
their members the right of using the
power Of the lodge for political purpOs-
es, there can be no doubt but that this
Is often done. If two men equally fitted
for a place are in nomination, it would
be consistent for members of lodge to
vote for that one who wore their badges.

that so generally abound all over the

anything of secret order, except by its

stand on their merit If there are or

here urged for the general good of the

On the I'd of March. twenty-six men,
consisting of nearly ali the men in the
little fishing village of St. Mary's on
the coast of Newfoundland. went out
upon the ice to examine a brig which
was frozen in the ice, about two miles
from the shore. Upon their return they
found that the ice had parted from the
shore and that they were ahOat upon it,
the space between the land and ice then
being half mile wide and increasing.
Escape was impossible. The party, on
discovering the opening, just at night.
ran along the edge of the ice in hopes
Of finding some means of escape, until
they were nearly exhausted. They were
but slightly clad, and not prepared for
the terrible cold which soon set in At
first it raihed until they were all wet to
the skin. The rain then turned to sleet
and snow. The wind then veered to the
northward, and the cold became intense

A Chicago editor, Wilbur F. Story of
the Daily Times. was sentenced last
Monday, by Judge Williams of that ci-
ty, to ten days Imprisonment for alleged
contempt committed by his paper, the
charge growing out of certain structures
made by the Times ON the grand jury.
All Chicago, particularly the press. were
indignant at the judge. and united in
condemning his action as a blow at the
freedom of the press and the liberty of
the~cItizen. The editor was released at
midnight on a telegraphic order from
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
since which, the Times has been making
it hot for Judge Williams.

THE MIsCHIEFs OF VENUS.

whose vision reaches farther and wider
and longer than the government pets,
"Old Probs." Prof. Tice seems TO be
on singularly intimate relations with the
starry universe and Its mysterious infu-
ences, and not an old astrologcr could
use the language of planetary prophecy
with greater facility. His extreme ia
miliarity with the spots on the sun first
attracted attention, some years ago. and
1t is now well known that he can, with
the briefest preparation. turn on a storm
at any particular spot on the surface of
the earth or, which is very much the
same thing, tell in what region storm
ought by rights to be raging.
Prof. Tice predicted, for instance, in
February, the entrance of the earth
within the Venusian cycle, and conse-
quent atmospheric perturbations within
the period of her equinox. The equinox
happened, March 9TH, and every form
Of disturbance he had foretold, occurred.
There were earthquakes in Tennessee,
San Francisco and Mexico tornadoes in
Missouri, Mississippi. the Carolinas and
Georgia fierce gales on the Atlantic
and over the country east of the Rocky
mountains; and heavy storms of snow
and rain in the same regions. The same

SOUTH CARoLINA.-The administra-
ton of Governor Chamberlain in South
Carolina is thus far justifying all that
was prophesied by his friends and sup
porters. He has grappled with some of
| the most powerful of the corrupt cliques.
and his frank and decisive veto of the
Floating Debt Bill seems to be as bold
as 1t IS wise and honorable. In his eff
forts to expose and defeat frauds and to
secure to his State, recently so sadly
mlsgoverned, order, economy. and conf
dence, ne deserves the most cordial sup-
port OF honest men everywhere and he
seems to be receiving it, for the Charles
ton Neacs and Courier, the leading Dem
ocratic paper in the State, warmly sus-
tains him.
We state also, and with great pleas
ure, that the State Treasurer. Mr.. Car.
dozo, who has been constant and
stanch friend of the Governor, and who
was charged in the Legislature with
fraud, has made clear and conclusive
explanation-so decisive, indeed, that
the address asking for his removal ha:
been emphatlcally rejected by both
Houses of the Legislature. 1t is re-
suit upon which the Treasurer is to be
sincerely congratulated Even the Neaos
which can be suspected of no partisan
sympathy with him. says: 1.-The Treas
ury is In safe hands, and the result O.
the investigation into the operations Of
that important department must be an
increased confidence IN the ability anc
inhexIbility Of the Treasurer-Harper'
Weekly.

THE BLACK HILLs.-General Ord has
at last called 'halt" to the crowds of
adventures bound for the Black Hills,
and the tone of his order shows that he
means business. United States troops
and scouting parties Of hostile Indians
are to combine for the purpose Of pre-
serving inviolate the treaty with the
Sioux. The General states that his or
ders are to arrest the parties. confne the
leaders, burn the wagons and destroy
outfits. This is summary method of
meeting the case, and foolhardy, indeed,
must be the miner, prospector or adven-
turer who dares to defy these stringent
regulations of the army. But it must
be remembered that the government can
not permit its treaty stipulations with
the Indians to be annulled. That treaty
must be kept in good faith until it is
cancelled, and the rush to the new Ell
dorado Will be compelled to wait for a
little. In the meantime, the Interior
Department will send out party, herd
ed by frst-class miners and biologists,
to make thorough exploration as to the
mineral wealth of those regions, and re-
port the result to the country. This
course will prevent those helter-skelter.
and, too often, not only proftless but
ruinOus rushes to new mining fields
The government has taken the only
proper action in the case, and miners
themselves will doubtless recognize the
fact, and wait with patience for the
proper cancellation of the treaty, and

Harper's Ferry Property.

From the Wheeling Register we learn that
on Thursday of last week, in the United
States Court at Wheeling, Judge Jackson pre-
siding, the case Of the United States and F.
C. Adams VS. the b. & 0. r. Il. Company was
called up for argument by Gen. Golf, District
Attorney.
Hon. c. j Faulkner being present in Court,
expressed his earnest hope that the case just
referred to would be disposed of during the
present term. lie did not consider himself
professionally connected with the case, but as
the Representative in Congress from the Second
district, he felt decided interest in seeing the
case disposed Of Its pending in Court was
a heavy incumbrance upon the interests of
Harper's Ferry, and locked up from active
employment the valuable water power of that
place. The interests of Harper's Ferry, as
we'll as the interests Of the State, had suffered
much from the delay which this case had pro-
duced, aud even Congress had hesitated to act
until some of the questions here involved had
been decided lie felt but little concern how
the case was decided, his great desire was to
see this law suit ended aud the rich advan-
tages of Iarper's Ferry again brought into
active use"
His Honor expressed himself in favor Of
taking up the case at the earliest moment,
consistent with the other business Of the Court.
