AMONG the politicians the question o.
the speakership of the House of Represen.
tatives is being warmly discussed, and the
supporters of the candidates that have
been prominently named in this connec-
ton are making a busy canvass among the
members as far as possible A Washing
ton despatch to the Baltimore Sun says
'The friends of Mr.. Randall for Speaker
speak more confidently than any of the
others, and it is very certain that he has
many warm advocated. But strong under
current is evidently setting toward Mr.. Kerr.
A letter received here to-day from Penn
sylvania states that is an error to suppose
that Mr.. Randall has the unanimous sup
port of the delegation from that State, and
also says that Senator Wallace is opposed
to him. For the clerkship, Mr.. George
M. Adams, of Kentucky, has so far devel-
oped the greatest positive strength, but it
is thought that in the event of Mr.. Kerrs
election to the speahership the chance of
Mr.. Stevenson Archer;o of Maryland, for
clerk would be very fair. Mr.. Calkins, of
the New York World, will be pressed by
the New York delegation for clerk"
THE aggressive stand that the Mandarin
element of China has taken toward British
subjects in the empire is nothing more than
their opposition to the presence of foreign
ers among them. Theirs is government
three thousand years old. Their modes of
civilization are original with themselves,
and foreigners are regarded as agents to
destroy their customs or to interfere with
their forms Of government. The coast of
China is we'll fortified, and their navy and
army weltcquipped. A war between them
and Western power would be likely to
prove formidable upon the part of the
Cinnamon, and we are led to think that
,hould England press her claims for repa.
.ation, and China fail to meet them, that a
var Of no slight importance will be apt to
pIlow. =.

THE truck growers and gardeners Of
Anne Arundel and Baltimore, held a
meeting in Baltimore on Wednesday after
noon. The object Of the meeting was to
devise means for their protection in the
sale of marketable goods. An Association
was formed by them year Or two since, at
which prices were named for truck. Sev-
eral of the members, since then, have not
worked in good faith and the meeting on
Wednesday afternoon was to form new
scale Of prices and proclaim good faith to
them. 1t was resolved to sell tomatoes at
thirty cents bushel, cabbage at one dollar
and half per hundred heads, green corn
at eight cents per dozen, and cantaloupes at
not less than twenty-five cents per basket.
1t was the sense of the meeting that much
could be accomplished by concert of action
and the association of the growers was ne
cessary.

During Senator Mitchell's stay in
this city he was the recipien of many
courtesies. Immediately on his arrival
a salute was fired in his honor, and sub
sequently his rooms at the brick hotel
were crowded by citizens who called to
pay him their respects. Our people felt
that in his high place he had devoted
his time and energies to the advocacy of
their interests, and hence without re-
gard to sect or party they voluntarily
came forward to do him honor. Under
ell the circumstances, the reception of
Senator Nutshell was most fiattering,
and well calculated to cheer him on in
his labors.- WdLlG WdLLd Statesman.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY Is an
epitome OF newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded rs an official register of crrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY TO
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed cut
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity Of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body Of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

A BONAPARTIsT MOVEMENT IN FRANCE.
Our readers may as we'll be expecting
at attempt to restore the Empire and
the Bonaparte dynasty in France. We
believe the arrangements are about
complete, and the execution of the en-
terprise will commence at an early day.
The presence of Marshal Bazaine on
Saturday at Santander, a Spanish town
on the French frontier, is probably con-
nected with this undertaking.
1t is not generally known that such
an attempt was to have been made by
the late Napoleon III. Some time be-
fore his death he had borrowed large
sum Of money for the purpose in Lon
don, but finding that his failing strength
was notequaf to the thing he returned
the money to the lenders. A great part
OF the capital for the present effort is
doubtless furnished from a similar
source.
If France had a regular Government
of any sort such an Undertaking could
not succeed. Louis Napoleon himself
tried the experiment repeatedly during
the reign of Louis Philippe, but in
each case his failure was ridiculous.
Nothing but the Republic of lS4S made
it possible for him to get possession OF
France. Whether the Republic of 1870
will prove equally favorable to a SIM
liar plot remains to be determined.-[N.

PAPER IMITATION OF LEATHER "A

is manufactured, according to pro.
cess discovered by Dawidowski, from
parchment paper. It is as soft and
pliable as leather, and resembles il

like it, can be glned, pressed, stamp
ed, gilded, etc. It, therefore, forms
a perfect substitute for the fancy lea.

objections to leather as lining for

-CHAPPED hands and skin cracks are
entirely unnecessary even in the coolest
weather if proper care is observed. Most
of the so-called toilet soaps are caustic, or
full of ley, and act very injuriously upon
the skin. Genuine CASTLE soap is almost
wholly neutral, and is the best for wash
ing with. By rinsing the hands entirely
free from every trace of soap, and wiping
them thoroughly before going out chaps
may be avoided; any that do appear can
be cured by rubbing the affected parts
with cold cream, or what is the same thing
common lard, before retiring.

Fellow Members of the Conservative Car
{ Gus:
As member of the House of Re-
representatives., and one of the fifty
members in whose presence and
through whom a signal assault was
made on the 4th of January, 1875,
upon the rights Of political liberty of
the people of Louisiana, as a member
and duly chosen officer in the dis
charge of my sacred duty at the mem
orable hour when our legislative
chamber was invaded by the soldiers
of the Federal Government as a wit
ness of the expulsion from our body
of five members whom you all know
to have been fairly elected, and the
question of whose election was left
to our body by the Returning Board,
as one who with you refused to re-
main to hear the roll of the House
called by one who was not it's clerk,
nor in any manner it's officer, under
direction of a General of the Federal
army supported by a file of soldiers,
with fixed bayonets, as one who with
you has steadily refused to return to
the Hall of Representatives, unless
We could return to the full and free
exercise of our rights. and as one of
these we have in all solemnity ap-
pealed the cause Of my honored and
much loved native State from the
tribunal of Federal tyranny and local
despotism. l do now with all res
pect for my Conservative associates
most emphatically and earnestly pro-
test against returning to the Hall as
members, under any restrictions with
any compromise, with any conces-
sions, avowed or tacit, implied or ex-
pressed. protest and declare that
you and l have no right to bind our
selves as to our action upon any mat
ter which may come lawfully and in
order before oursbody, protest that
it would be an act of self-stultifica-
tion in US who have once duly taken
our oaths as members to return to
the House from which we were dri-
ven by hostile bayonets and there
renew our oaths of office before one
who falsely claims to be Speaker,
and in the presence Of many who
falsely claim to be members. pro-
test against paying for the privilege
of returning to the exercise of rights
and performance of functions to
which we have been elected by a free
people, at a fair election, by any con-
cessions whatever.
You and I, as representatives of
free people, should stand as an i'm
pregnable bulwark in defence of that
Sacred right fself-government with
in the State which has been set at
by Federal armed intrusion.
We cannot abandon this holy trust
without appearing insensible to duty,
unfaithful to our constituents, and
regardless of the issues and princi-
pies set forth in our late unanimous
protest to the American people.
The advantages to be attained by
such an abandonment of duty are
temporary and insignificant COM
pared with what the cause of civil
liberty would gain by our inhexible
adhersion to the position. we have
heretofore taken and maintained.
I cannot consent to become a party
to any such arrangement as you have
made, involving what / consider to
be recreancy to the duty I owe to a
free people in trying emergency.

GRANT AS K LOBBY AeENr.-Much
of the criticism upon those who hang
around the Hobbies and corridors OF
the Capitol; pressingrimproper tricks
upon the members of Congress, is
well deserved. But in all the philip
pics printed against this class, not
one word has as yet been said of the
greatest lobbyist known in the halls
|of Congress. The sole object of all
the other lobbyists is to get through
some bill to take money out of the
Treasury to observation-disclosures. The
prince Of lobbyists in his efforts with
members of Congress seeks to COM
pass ends SO unholy, and through
means SO Ubiquitous, that the objects
and purposes Of his compeers in the
lobby are virtue itselfin comparison.
This lobbyist is no less person than
the President Of the United States.-
Almost daily he'is at the Capitol en-
gagged in, urging upon members Of
Congress the passage Of measures de.
signed and intended to Cypress al
least one half the country, deprive
its people Of their dearest rights and
grind them in the dust if need be, in
order that his personal ambition may
be gratified. Never before in the
history of the Government has the
Chief Magistrate hung around the
Capitol, pleading, cajoling, and even
threatening members of the, Senate
and House Of Representatives, in the
hope Of bending them to his wishes.

The Caucus Bill.

There seems to be great doubt
whether the bill for the, government
Of the South adopted by the Repub
lican caucus on Friday, and hailed
by the Administration organs DIS a
vital measure Of safety, can pass the
House of Representatives.. Evident
ly it does not command the approval
Of the most respectable members Of
the party, and some Of them declare
that they will not be bound by the
caucus resolution. But it shows so
clearly the purposes of the violent
faction which has taken the control
of the Republican party at Washing
ton, the turbulent and disorderly
persons who make business of up
setting State governments and ma
nipulating elections, that it deserves
a careful scrutiny. r. l.iut a5Hoa
The first section makes it felony

cution Of the laws Of q State or Of the
United States" or to s.'conspire for
such purposes" Under this section
carpet-bag Governors would hold the
opposition at their mercy. Anyikind
of concerted actionby White Leagues
or other political clubs could be con
strued as a conspiracy to interfere
with the due execution of the cleo
ton law or some other statute.
The second section makes it a
crime punishable with $4,000 fine
and two years imprisonment for two
or more persons to conspire or at
tempt to subvert State government.

vides penalties for State registration

permit citizens to vote or register
or ''to allow them sufficient opportu-
mites to register or to obtain proper

the caucus proposal is sufficiently
