The Frost and the Grass
hOppers.
From the New York Times.

The old proverb which says it is
an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good is being verified in man
ner most acceptable 10 the people
of Kansas and Nebraska. As our
readers are aware, these States
suffered very much from grass
hoppers last year. Many of the
settlers seriously thought of gath.
ering up their modest household
furni.ure and farming implements
and removing elsewhere. But for
the liberality displayed by the res
idents OF other States in helping
them TO pass through the winter,
and to get ready for another battle
with their enemies, a very extern
sive migration would have occurred.
Supplied with food, fuel, clothing,
and seed, their sorely-tried cour-
ace revived. We have no infor-
nation in reference to the nature
OF the means they have employed
for destroyingthe eggs of the grass
Loppers. but there is no doubt they
have done everything they could.
The fact that they had not been
entirely successful we have learned
from the Geographic reports of
the past lew days. In both of
the States mentioned, it is said
that the frost and cold rains have
killed the young grasshoPPers as
fast as they have. been matched,
and. better still, that the crops
have remained uninjured.

according to the latest telegraph, Ming
of Spain, has pursued his cousin 10Y
alleged crimes committed in SPAN, ana
has demanded the fugitive from the King
of Prussia, who has commanded the au-
thorities to capture the Infant Don Al
phonso de Bourbon and Este, and de-
liver him to the demands OF his royal
cousin OF Spain We are astonished at
the obtuseness of the Time. One Of these
fellows would in the United States be
known as Al. Bourbon and the other as al.
0. Bourbon. This unlucky infant seems
to have had 6 very lively chase Of It, but
as he has reached Austria he IS perhaps
safe for the moment which leads US to
remarl; in the slightly amended words OF
Byron:
| Ungrateful. pe,ured baroaycus Dor Alphonsc,
Pray tell the public why you Will so on 80
We are indebted 70 the pretended init
macy Of the Times with the pedigree OF
the Spanish Bourbons for slight insight
into the happy domestic relations OF the
kings from those who really know some
thing abou. them. The admission that
one OF the blood royal Of the Bourbons
has been charged with the serious social
ofenses mentioned by I ibei.ge is pretty
good evidence that Kings are no better
than other people. L may afford a salu-
tary lesson to those degenerate Eepuhli-
cans VINO think the best government the
world ever saw is to be found IN the cor
rupt, efete and unprincipled blood royal,
We suppose the Times will now knuckle
down and admit that no american can
pretend 10 be acquainted with any
Of the Bourbon family, except the
Whisky Bourbon, branch long since
established IL this part Of the continent,
and greatly esteemed, until demoralized
by imitation and adulteration We espe-
cially condole with the Times, since we
We're arrested the other day upon charge
Of circulating false French. 1T is as
easy for US to conquer the kingdom as to
speak SO much more French.
We now take our seat, to await the de-
Tense OF the Times for having gone about
pretending to be intimately acquainted
with the Spanish Bourbon, when it ap-
pears it car nos tell one Alfonso from
another

of the course pursued by the President to
suppress the Ku-Kluz, White League and
other unlawful organizations that have
attempted by violence to usurp the gov
ernments OF the States OF the South. The
same was said of the United States
bayonets employed by President Lincoln
to suppress the wholesale violence ct
tempted by the Democratic party of the
South under the lead OF Jefferson Davis.
Therefore we leave the people to Judge Of
the justice and propliety Of the opposi-
ton in arraigning Republicans for main
tanning the laws and integrity Of the
country. If the Democratic party
has determined to fight i: ont on this line,
has determined to make the conduct OF
Republican administrations III suppress
ing large and small rebellions, the issue OF
the next presidential election, the Tepub-
ican party will 10. refuse to meet the
issue fairly and sqUarely before the Amer
lean people; that portion Of them that
have never 1altered in their devotion to
their whole country and have always been
found true to republican government.
and, IN conclusion, We vii! remind our
tellow-countrymen that to 2 four years
civil war, commenced to extend and per
petuate slavery, belongs all the suffering
and poverty that has befallen the South.
Tie Democrats Of the South are clearly
responsible for having brought Oh that
war, and they and not tie President are
the authors of al the suffering that now
exists IN the Southern States

these bloated British bondholders have
had the audacity to cone over and de-
mand their money from several Southern
States-ou. own among the rest. We
know one alien who represents nearly a
million Of dollars of foreign debt
We need a new industrial policy. Mr..
Beck may repudiate the blcated bond
holder, but that will give no permanent
relief. Here our people want wages,
which means bread, clothes and rent.
What good will it do them to repudiate
old debts, and destroy the faith OF capt.
talists in the bonds for the railroads and
leyees which we need?
Let us take some measures for the pGr-
pose Of employing our people, so that if
capitalists will n longer lean US dollar,
We can at least have something to live OF

The Times is unnecessarily unhappy
about something which has probably gone
wrong with it and its small band of non
working men, that has not yet been laid
before tie public. It gives the EEPUD-
LrcAS snap as i. passes, n he following
manner:
Some time ago, vixen the REFUBLICAN
took deep interest in seeing a little lob
safely through the School Board. it was the
opinion of that ever faithful organ that this
plea OF poverty among the people was all u
humbug.
We deny the above allegation, and await
proof The REPUBLICAN has never mani
tested the slightest interest in seeing any
job through the School Board; has never
known that such a thing was pending be-
fore that body, and this Journal has never
expressed the opinion that the plea Of
poverty among the class OF people who are
ont OF work is groundless.
We merely refer to this mistake Of the
Times to set it right upon matter Of
local history. The REpJBlIcA,' is not of
that class Of papers that goes backward.
When We recommend q measure, 1t is be-
cause we believe in it. and do not recol-
lect ever to have urged the adoption Of
anything by the Legislature, the Council
OF any other body, which We did not
think at the time to be for the interest OF
the public or in discharge Of a simple
duty. Every statement IN the above ex-
tract is incorrect in spirit and il letter
Let the Times prove one OF them, and
we will bow an appropriate concession to
its superior powers of memory and knowl-
edge OF or local atfairs.
