Although conscious of our
mess of the encomiums paid us, we re-
turn our sincere thanks to our friend
Of the Virginia Enterprise for his kind
ly expressions of sympathy and mani
festation of personal esteem; and we
can assure you, Charles, my boy, that
notwithstanding our political differ
ences, by no one il your worth more
appreciated, or your friendship o
cherished, than by ourself. 1t is true
that we recently experienced a slight
touch of the dart Of the ghostly mes
senger, and for a brief period imag-
ined that we could distinguish the
faint whispering of the angels about
U couch; but, thanks to the mercy
of Divine Providence and the skill OF
our medical attendant, we are again
able to toddle about, and, although
scarcely in a condition for q fight or a
foot c we humbly hope to be spared
for yet a little while to enlighten the
world through the columns of the

vance,, and to engage in many a polit-
ical bout with our esteemed friend Of

upon Louisiana affairs than write

following letter in acknowledgment Of
a couple of boxes of clothing, etc.,

WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the White Pine News.

BOLD RoBBERY.-On Sunday even
ing last, t,etween the hours Of six and
eigh: o'clock, the store of f. w. Clute
Il Co., on Main street. vas entered and
the money-drawer robbed of about
$50 in small change. The clerk left
the store about six O'clock, locking tile
doors as usual; he returned about
eight o'clock and found the door un-
locked, and upon examination dis
covered that the contents OF the money
drawer had been abstracted. Informa-
ton Of this bold robbery was imInedi-
ately given the officers, and Sheriff
Raum, together with Chief of Police
Hager and Constable Morton, started
out to hunt up the perpetrator Of this
daring robbery. Although diligent
search was kept up during the night
by the officers no trace could he found
of the thief. The entrance to the store
was effected by unlocking the front
door with a skeleton key, and it is
limited that it was done by some per-
o familiar with the premises.

the Watson mill started up on Mon

THE FORCE BILL.

dams banditti " dispatch, and Grants
truculent message on the Arkansas
matter, the majority Of Republicans
in Congress, in obedience to orders,
framed and introduced q measure de-
signed to place in the hands OF the
President the power to control affairs
in the Southern States SO as to perpet-
uate Radical rule and insure the cleo
toral vote Of that section to his re-
election for q third term. This meas
ure las acquired . celebrity Of infamy
under the title of the Caucus Force
bill. With its main features our read
ers are already familiar. 1t gives to
the military arm of the Federal Gov
eminent control over State elections;
it makes it a felony to carry arms on
the day of any general election-usurp-
ing the functions of the courts; it
pretends to give a legislative interpre-
tation of the term rebellion as used in
the constitution, by defining what acts
or condition of affairs shall be held to
constitute a rebellion; and it author
ICES the President to determine for
himself whether such a condition of
affairs exist, and if so, SO to declare by
his proclamation, and ~thereupon to
suspend the habeas corpus and place
the entire civil power and the machin-
cry of State government at the feet of
the military. The bill as framed in
caucus and introduced in the House,
applied to the entire country, but des-
perate as are the Butler-G GRANTEES in
tho House, it was felt by many that
this was going too far, and that the
passage of such a measure would be
equivalent to political suicide. BY a
vote Ut l64 to 100 the operation Of the
section authorizing the President to
suspend the habeas corpus was con-
fined to Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Arkansas, and was limited to
two years from date. The bill thus
amended passed the House last Satu =
day. under the operation of the new
gag rule; but for the honor of the
American people, we are glad to be
able to say that thirty-one Repub-
licans voted with tho Democrats against
the infamous measure. Among these
Republicans whose love of justice is
stronger than party ties, or whose po-
litical foresight teaches them to be-
ware the coming storm, are the two
,Hoars, Phelps, Poland, Foster, Gar
field, Hale Of Maine, Dawes of Mas
s~achusetts, and Hawley of Connect
cut. Thus by a vote Of 135 to ia has
the Republican majority in the House
sought to lay tour States of the Union,
bound hand and foot. at the feet of a
mar who first apologetically whined
his sympathy with Sheridan's ban
ditti programme, and then, grown
holder, openly asked to be clothed
with dictatorial powers that he might
by force of arms place Brooks in the
chair of the Governor of Arkansas,
and dragon the entire South into a
support of his administration with all
its tyranny and fraud.

How 10 destroy the devastating millions of
grasshoppers has become a serious question
in the west. y dispatch from La Crosse.
Wisconsin, says that manyOf the farmers
are using Paris green with success so far as
killing the hOppers is concerned. The trouble
with this poisonous agent, however. is that
il is said to Kill the soil about as efIectually
as il does the grasshopper. Prof. Riley, of
Chicago, who has just returned from a tour
of the counties in Illinois most afflicted with
the insect. and who has given much thought
to the subject, says they can be caught by the
bushel by means of ropes conveying screens
and nets, and that if bounty had been Of
fered some time ago most OF the pests could
have been captured. Last winter, when the
legislature was in session, he suggested that
Law be passed Offering a bounty for the
eggs These eggs, he says,.are laid in dry
sunny and especially sandy spots, and never
placed in the ground more than an inch deep,
and On number of hilisideS the ground is so
completely full of these eggs they could have
been Takej UP and collected by hundreds of
bushels. If there had been any inducement
Tor people 10 collect them.

The recent material reduction in the fare
between Washington and Baltimore on one
OF the lines connecting the two cities has had
a tendency 10 greatly increase the travel be-
tween the two cities, and the railroad COM
pany making the reduction doubtless finds
the experiment a successful one. As rule
the prices charged for short excursions both
by rail and steamer are much too high TO
come within the means of thousands who
otherwise would frequently indulge in pleas
IRE trips. With the reduction of fares is sure
to come large increase of travel, and while
he railroad managers and steamboat owners
are pretty sure to gain by the operation the
general public is accommodated, and persons
OF limited means are enabled to occasionally
ifhale the pure air OF the country or the
EealthfUi breeZes of the river.
