INTIMIDATION.

That was clever and stunning hit which
Mr. Schurz gave the administration polite.
ians when, in his able speech on Louisiana,
in the United States Senate, lie said: 81 can
not forget that as to the discharge Of labor
ers from employment for political cause, a
most seductive and demoralizing example is
set by the highest authority in the land Mr..
Schurz referred to the allegation that colored
laborers in Louisiana were threatened with
discharge from their employers if they re-
fused to vote the conservative ticket and the
" seductive example the administration set
the Louisiana employers IN this matter was
the discharge of the operatives in the |. 5.
navy yards, armories, &c, TO say nothing OF
the army of public officers for e like reason.
The President, in his message to congress
on the Louisiana muddle, blunders into the
same double.edged charge Of intimidation,
upon which the n. y. Eceatag Post, a rcpub-
lean paper, comments as follows;
II must be said, that the examples mention
cd by the President scarcely establish the re
nubiIcan theory of intimidation" We are
told that Shreveport merchants resolved not
to employ persons who should vote the rad
zeal ticket" and that other merchants pledg-
ed themselves not to advance any supplies
or money 10 any planter who should employ
"lsborers who voted the radical ticket" on
course this was all wrong, but did it justify
federal interference? 4: is no secret that in
this and other northern states contractors and
manufacturers employing large number OF
men have often influenced their votes IN the
SIR, report fashion. L2borers in streetclean-
inc and on city works and in navy yards have
heretofore often held their places and drawn
their wages upon the understanding that they
should vote the ticket OF tho party which con.
trolled their appointment; bat We never heard
il suggested that this system, bsd as 1t was,
supplied pre,cNt for setting aside iile eitc-
ton at which votes were So influential.

STARTLING

Observations Of the recent transit of Venus
tend TO show that we are some eleven mill.
Ions Of miles nearer the sun than our old as

be sure eleven millions of miles would be con.
siderable-"a right smart distance" the

vast measurements Of the skies 1t IS nothing.
Calculation Of the American Astronomers
based on the last passing of Venus across

The following remarks of Andrew johnson,

mules, and you had as well try to address an
argument TO mule as to most of them.-You
cannot effect "A lodgment in their heads
thought AT first that this would shortly wear
off, and they would divide upon questions
like white men, and vote understandings
But they do not and fear never will. They
go in drovcs, or might say in ono drove. To
attempt to address an argument To a crowd
of them Is like talking to So many mules, so
far as eifectng anything is concerned. You
cannot reach them by any reasoning pro
cess. | fear we have calculated too much
upon the iuca that we could, by education
and development, make an intelligent citizen
