testing the validity of the action of the Legis-

placing the ballot-boxes in the hands of men
who are in no manner responsible for making
fraudulent returns; and that in the exercise of
these rights there Is no power in, or duty in

the fact as to whether State government has
been legally abrogated and another substi-

This resolution fairly embodies the law
and recommendation contained in Judge
Poland's report. 1t is just what he asks
Congress to declare to be the law of the
case. and just what would be the law of the
case if his report and suggestions should
be adopted by Congress. We have pre-
scented the issue in nutshell to the end
that the wsyfaring man, though a fool,
cannot err as to which side of this question
he should array himself upon.

BARNES "ANERIcAN eoVERNmENr.n

I" The American Government Biographies
and Portraits of the President of the United
States, the Vice President, the Heads of De-
partments, Judges of the Supreme Court and
third Congress" By William Horatio Barnes.
New York Nelson & Phillips, 1875.
This magnificent work, in three quarto vol
umes, is the most elaborate attempt which has
ever been made to present the personnel Of the
biographies Of all the members Of the several
departments of the Government. No one of
the sketches occupies less than page, and in
the instances Of the President, the Supreme
Court and some of the more prominent Sena-
tors and Representatives they extend from ten
to twenty pages. The sketches are authentic
in their facts, and are very well written. Mr..
Barnes has much experience in writing, both
as q journalist and an author. The ability
and literary taste manifested in these biogra-
phies justify the so6riqTst, american Plu-
tarch," given him by some of his reviewers.
Mr.. Barnes first work in the field of Ameri-
can politics and biography was his "History Of
the Thirty ninth Congress" published by Har-
per & Brothers, in 1858. He subsequently pub
lished still more elaborate works relating TO
each Of the succeeding Congresses. These
all have been favorably received by the public
and were noticed with the highest commenda-
ton by the press.
The work now under notice, however, 10 by
far the most comprehensive that he has issued,
including, Is 1t does, In addition TO the matter
contained In previous publications, the num-
Der Of the executive and judiciary departments
Of the Government.
The most remarkable feature Of this work
consists Of the fine steel portraits which It con-
tains. They are engraved BY New York and
Philadelphia artists, from accurate photo
graphs. They are % life-llke a. photographs,
even finer As works Of art, and are much more
enduring. Indeed, there Is no style Of por-
trait equal to q good steel engraving.
We sincerely hope that the public will look
with remunerative favor upon this praise
worthy and successful attempt TO preserve for
the interest Of people Of the present and the
instruction Of posterity the portraits and lives
Of the leading statesmen Of the American Re-
public during President Grants second term.
As book for the approaching Centennial It
must have great value and interest. No work
could give, both TO our own people and TO for
eigners who may visit us, more adequate
view Of the progress Of our country than this
splendid work. 1t is sold only by subserlp
ton.

the war broke out he enlisted rs q private in the
LIST Louisiana volunteers, (White) Gen. Butler
having organised two colOred regiments the same
year, he was appointed captain Of Company A,
and served till September, 1884, when he resigned
on account Of some difficulties in regard TO the
colored soldiers. He was highly spoken OF byh Is
commanding officers for meritorious service dur
cal life in Alabama In the fall Of 1885, where he
delivered severalBpeeches which tended to arouse
the colored people TO . sense Of their rights The
first token Of their appreciation was his election
to the Constitutional Convention Of the State Of
Louisiana, In 1867, which formed the present con-
stitution Of the State.
In November, 1858, be was elected to the State
Senate for the term Of four years from the Second
Senatorial district. He was also . delegate fer
convention which nominated General Grant for
President. In December, ISL, he was elected to
I'LL vacancy caused by the death OF Governor
Dunn. December he became acting Governor
Of the State by the Impeachment Of H. o. War
moth. He continued 70 act In this capacity till
the 18th OF January, 1878, when he was elected on
the first ballot TO the United States Senate for
ever elected for the long term. Governor Pinch
back is quite prepossessing in personal appear
ance, being q little over the medium height, and
having quite o healthy olive complexion illu-
mined by piersIng black eyes. Taken altogether,
his career has been q remarkable one, and when
we take into account the discordant elements
with which he had TO contend during his whole
In Louisiana, there is nothing to debar one from
thinking that his future may be even moro sue
cessful than his past career, as Il Is certaiRly
more propitious, and he is removed from all the
evil influences which were brought to bear upon
him during his connection with local politics.

TEERE are no Republican members of
the House who deny the existence of a
condition approaching anarchy in some of
the Southern States, or that their fellow
partisans in those States are subjected to
persecution, intimidation and assassination.
1t is said that few of them are opposed to
the caucus bill to protect electors. Now,
let these gentlemen who acknowledge the
necessity of such bill tell US exactly what
they want We believe the bill will be-
come law unless it is talked to death in
the Senate; but meanwhile let us have some
thing tangible in the way Of another
remedy from the discontinued or nerveless
minority of the party.

THE ATTENTION Of the so-called indie.
pendent Press, which was 50 prolific In Its
abuse Of Judge Poland for his action in
reference 10 the revision Of the laws, and
especially for his efforts TO amend the act
defining the jurisdiction Of the Criminal
Court Of this District, is invited TO the re.
port Of the judiciary Committee presented
TO the Senate yesterday by Judge Ed
munds constituting the law commonly de-
nounced as t,e "press-gag law" 1t is
suggested that common courtesy requires
the press in question should make, SO
far as is possible, the proper amend to
Judge Poland in this matter. The report
fully vindicates the Interpretation given to
the act by Judge Poland during his can
vass for reelection or in his letter Of with
drawal from the second canvass in his dis.
trict. The press used its own interpreta
ton Of the act for the defeat of Mr..
Poland-an Interpretation evidently in
spired by guilty consciences. This injury,
if such it can be deemed, to the JUICE and
the country, by depriving it Of his eminent
services in the next House, is beyond
reparatiOn; but that is no reason why the
proper apology for personal abuse and i'm
putation Of bad motives should not be
promptly rendered him by these
"Rogues who ne'er felt halter draw

THE New York Times appeals to Senator
Conkling to know eff he really believes
that the measure or measures said to have
been agreed upon last week in the Re-
publican caucus are calculated to tran
"quilize the South or to permanently ben
" eft the North" We are not authorized
to speak for Senator Conkling as regards
this matter, but from what we know of the
man we are led to believe he has wis
dom enough to see the necessity of meet
ing force with force. The idea of ''tran-
QUILTING" armed White Leaguers, except
by the stern application of rigorous law in
securing their punishment for crimes COM
mitted in the past or to be committed in
the future. is simply ludicrous. By the
way, as the Times is SO prompt in de-
bouncing all the tranquilizing measures
that have been preached, why does 1t not
present plan Ct its own, or does it really
intend that nothing shall be done in the
premisesi If the answer to this latter
question be affirmative, let US mark the
Times down at once as the ayowed enemy
Of Republican success.

THE New York Tribune has renewed its
dalliance with Mr.. Speaker Blaine. Hav-
ing learned that he is opposed to the sus-
pension Of the writ of hGbeas corpus as a
part of the Southern policy of Congress, it
attempts to persuade him to go further and
oppose the entire scheme. But we believe
Mr.. Blaine will be able to Withstand this
bold attempt at political seduction. 1t is
nevertheless wise that public attention
should be called to the efforts of such polit.

reason that other men not go strongly en-
trenched in their partisan loyalty as Mr..

THE Louisiana compromise suggested by
Mr.. Wheeler may not be acceptable to a
large'class of Republicans who insist that the
State should be returned to military rule,
or that q new election should be held, but
as it will probably be ratified by both par
ties in that State. and as Congress will
probably avoid doing anything to remedy
the condition of affairs there, it may be
adopted as the best measure that can be
carried out under the circumstances.

If THE caucus bill to Protect Electors
should happen to fail, as the enemies
of good government seem to desire, what
would be the result? It's failure would
certainly be attributed to the Republican
party in Congress, and the White Leaguers
would accept it as proof of the indifference
of that party regarding the condition of
affairs in the South. They would thereby
be encouraged to believe that their raids,
murders and prosecutions may be con-
tinued without fear of punishment.

of the career of Governor Pinchbsck, of
Louisiana, who will, no doubt, be admitted

from Louisiana. The career of such citi-

publication pending the discussion of his
case in the Senate, is a matter of general
public interest. Mr.. Pinchback gives prom

THE New York World has a great deal
to say about military despotism in the
Southern States. 1t does not seem to COM
prehend, however, that the military des-
potism which really exists in that section
is sustained by the Democracy, and that
its supporters are composed of armed
White Leaguers. 1t is for the suppression
of this partisan despotism that Congress
proposes to legislate.

FRENCH METHOD OF RAISING To.
MAToEs.-As soon as q cluster oil
flowers is visible, the stem is topped
down to the cluster, 80 that the flow
ers terminate the stem. The eject
is that the sap is Immediately i'm.
PEELED into the two buds next belo~
tie cluster, which soon push strongly
and produce another cluster of fow-
ers each. When these are visible,
the branch TO which they belong is
also topped down to their level, and
this is done successfully. By this
means the plants become stout dwarf
bushes, not above eighteen inches
high. In order to prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows,
so as to keep the plants erect. In
addition to this, all the laterals that
have no flowers, and after the fifth
topping. all laterals, whatsoever, are
nipped of. In this way the ripe sap
is directed into the fr1it, which &C,
wires a beauty, size and excellence
unattained BY other means.
