In chamber old nnd oak en-,

Half dozen words were spoken,

From the New York Herald of Yesterday
A Letter from Vice Pres.
ident Wilson,
He Would Relieve Sheridan.
THE SOUTHERN TROUBLES DIS
CUSSED.
oFFrcE-HoLDERs MAKE THE PARTY oDrous

WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 1875.
LETTER FROM THE VICE PREsIDENT-HIs
ADVICE TO THE PARTY AND THE PREsI-
DENT-THE THIRD TERM AND THE
SOUTH.
Vice President Wilson has written
letter to Mr.. Samuel Bowles, of the
Springfield Republican, in reply to a par
agraph in that journal asserting that
the Vice President openly gave up the
republican party as beaten and certain
of defeat at the next election. Mr.. Will
son replies in effect that he has not said
this, and does not believe it; that he
thinks the republican party may get in,
and that necessity exists for ITS contm-
uing in power. He admits that it is in
danger but asserts that its peril comes
not from it's own fault, but from the mis-
conduct of men who have obtained high
positions in it. He believes n change OF
policy necessary, and goes on to state
what charges, in his opinion, would re-
establish the party in the confidence and
affection of the people; 1t must, he
says, at once and explicitly, declare
against third term, and thus relieve the
public mind of painful apprehension and
put to rest at once and forever fear
which does more than aught else to
ALLEVIATE the people from the party. 1t
ought to remove many of the oiiice-hold-
| ers, high and low, and especially some OF
the higher officers of the administration,
whose mismanagement of affairs has be-
come offensive to the people, and who's,
conduct, both in their departments and
in general affairs, makes them and the
party odious 1t must adopt q concllla-
tory. though firm, policy in Southern al
fairs, avoiding any irritating federal IN
reference and taking off the heavy hand
of the government. The equal rights CT
the blacks must be defended, but uncon-
stitu tional acts and measures OF doubt
ful constitutionality ought to be avoid
/, ed, and the public opinion OF the North
must not be offended by violent acts or
language toward the South, w,
There is no doubt, from what MT. wal
son freely says in conversation, that II
his adv ice were followed General Sheri-
; dan would be ut ouce recalled from New
Orleans and the South; and that also he
would urge very conciliatory pohcy III
the Southern States, and one winch
J would throw the people OF those States
7 largely OH their own responsibility, re
c moving federal interference, ana caliin8
| upon them to keep order anu punsh dl
: order. with the understanding that Ii
there were any there that did not tn,
, federal power is always strong enough te
= resume it's interference. Mr., Wilson
c sees that by such policy the blame o.
D Southern disorders, if these continued
would fall upon the democrats and not
b upon the republicans rs now, and he be
= lieves that, while the blacks must nave
eoual rights Us the constitution guaran
q tees, and as justice and humanity de
n mand, the irritation consequent upoi
such acts as those recently in New Or
~ leans is dangerous and of the most eyl
" tendency.

within. its legitimate sphere. They
seek only to define that sphere by
Fsystem and habit of constitutional
Interpretation that will both develope
its extent and save it from encroach-
ing upon the prerogatives of the people
and the States"
The highest considerations of duty
and patriotism require that the sound
principles of Constitutional interpreta-
lion by which the powers OF the Fed
eral government ought to be measured
shall not be overthrown for the pur-
pose of enacting laws, which enforce
social equality, or enable Federal
officers to control State elections or in
trude impertinently into the regulation
of the local institutions and internal
affairs OF. the States. ........
Happily the desire and demand of the
people, rs emphasized in the recent
elections, seem to be in accord with
these views, and to justify the belief
that, with the advent of the second
century of our Independence. there
will dawn new era of liberty and
prosperity during which the rights of
the people shall be perfected, the re
served powers of States preserved, and
our 'matchlcsss system of government
perpetuated in all its perfection of pro-
portion and harmony of movement.

We have one word to say to those
Republican journals throughout the
country who are determined to support
this Louisiana wrong through thick
and thin. 1t is this Just so far as
any reputable Republican paper de-
fends or countcnances this outrage, it
makes the Republican party response
bic for it, and just so far as the party
is made responsible for it, just so far
is it weakened in the estimation OF
every citizen concerned for the pre-
servation of the sacred rights OF citi-
zenship."
The daily gazette., 1875-01-19
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

This outrage consisted in the forcl-
BILE election by the soldiery from their
seats of five members of the Leglsla-
ture of Louisiana. Those members
may or may not have been legally en-
titled to their seats. Either way, the
outrage was not less an outrage, as
Louisiana is sovereign state, and the
business of the army of the United
States is not to decide upon the legal
ity of election certificates, or to make
or unmakc Legislatures.

AUSTRALIAN statistics show that insani-
ty of violent kind prevails to frighttul
extent on that continent, especially in
South Australia, with its population of
100000. In 1861 there were 161 inmates
of asylums in that part Of Australia, being
one to $50 inhabitants. In 1870 they num-
bered $40, and at the close of 1871 there
were as many as 1924, or one to 524 of the
population. These figures do not repre-
sent the entire list of the insane, but in
clude only madmen and other inmates Of
asylums. The cause of this great preva-
lence of insanity can only be surmised, as
no authoritative explanation of it is given.
DR.. Patterson, Director of the Insane Asy-
lum at Adelaide, does not think that alco-
hol is the principal cause. One explana-
ton is that it is produced by the weaken
ing effects of the climate and by the rest
less, anxious lives led by English colo
nists, who are often made mad by repeated
failures in business.-Lsppincott's Maga-
zine.

Grassh0pper Corn.

There is great deal of mammoth corn
mammoth in the yield per acre and in
the size of the ears-in Missouri this year,
but the very finest, probably, is in that re-
gion where we should least expect to find
1.-THE grasshopper counties. 1t was too
late, after the insects took their departure,
to SOW small grain and grass, and it was
too late, too, according to the rules of
good farming, to plant corn, with the GER
tainty OF having it mature before frost !:
still, planting corn was all that the dis
heartened farmers could even attempt to
do, and so they set about it with all their
might The earth helped them, and the
result is crop that is a constant wonder
to themselves. A few weeks ago the Bank
Of Holden, johnson County, offered q
prize of $25 for fifteen ears of the best
corn raised by one farmer in the grasshop-
per counties of johnson, Bates, Henry,
Lafayette and Cass; this was increased by
the merchants to $50. There were fifty
three entries, and the award was made last
Saturday. "Such corn was never seen
BEFORE" is the. brief but comprehensive
report we hear of the display; and the
wonder increases when it is stated that
nearly all the seed-corn in those counties
was begged, and not planted till the Goth
Of June. The first prize of $25 was
awarded to William UT, of Centerview;
the second, Of $12, to Samuel Rice, Of
Pittsville; the third, of IS, to J. w. Cox,
Of Holden, and the fourth, of S., to J. J..
Taggert, of Rose Hill. All the premiums
went to johnson County, which contrib
uted nearly all the entries. A private pre-
MUM for the five best ears, offered by q
citizen of Holden, r. T. beaverton, was
awarded to B. Claunch and William UT.
Some of the choicest ears exhibited are to
be sent to the st. Louis Merchants Ex-
change, and afterward to the Philadelphia
Centennial, to let the world see what the
western counties of Missouri can do in the
way Of corn raising.-St. Louis Repu6li-

The Troubles Of q Heather Deity.

Juggernaut seems to be in . bad way In
India, owing to the dilapidation of his
pagoda at Pooree. An immense block of
stone fell the other day from the central
dome OF the temple. It is fortunate that
no one was killed, for the stone, it is
stated, is ten feet long, five broad, and
four in depth, and belongs to the inner
cornice of the temple. The damage is
imperceptible 10 the eye, owing to the in
tense darkness in the interior Of the edi-
flee, but the fall of the stone is q serious
matter for Juggernaut for this reason:
There is, it seems, prophecy that when
the first stone is unfastened the temple
shall not stand. The repairs, 1t is esti-
mated by the Oriaks, will take at least
fourteen years to complete, and during all
this time mo- public worship or festival in
Pooree is allowable. It is, however, not
surprising that the temple Is little out
Of repair, for it was built by Rajah Anan-
gabhima Deva, of Orissa, In the middle
Ct the twelfth century, before the days Of
scamping'' contracts, and during the
last 700 years not . trowel has been laid
upon it for the purpose of repair. The
dome is composed Of immense blocks of
stone, not kept together by cement or
mortar of any kind, but made fast by an
elaborate process of dove-tailing, the slabs
being arranged In horizontal layers mar
rowed toward the end, covered by huge
head-piece carved and ornamented.-PaA

Innocence and Obstinscy.

The other evening a Detroit Joker
slipped little pink love.letter into the
pocket of staid old citizen as they were
riding on the street-car. Of course the old
citizens wife made q dive for his overcoat
pockets as she passed through the hall,
and when she had digested the love-letter
she determined to commit suicide. While
going upstairs after her bonnet she got
mad and changed her mind. Walking
into the room where he sat before cheer
full fire, she exclaimed:
" Loves you better than her own life,
ehl' 80 -.
Who-what !" he inquired.
"And she wants to know how that bald.
headed wife of yours gets along, ehp'
II really-I can't -"
"And she wants fifty dollars to buy her
. set of furs, does she?"
+" Why, Mary-why, what are you talk
ing about?'
aOhl it's come out-I've got the
proofsv' she shouted, making dash fol
his hair.
The worthy man has sworn the most
solemn oaths to his innocence; offered to
let her employ detective to shadow him
accounted for every hour Of his absence
during the last year, and furnished fifty
theories In regard to the letter, and vet the
wife coldly remarks that she is staying
there solely on the children's account
