vi TX. KINGSBURY'S SKETCH OF
CHIEF JUSTICE HENDERSON.

One of the most interesting portions
of Mr.. Kingsbury's centennial address
delivered in Oxford on the 4th of July
was sketch of the late Chief Justice
Henderson of this state, and we have the
pleasure of announcing to our readers
that its author has kindly promised to
send it to us in time for publication in
the JOURNAL this day week.
Persons desiring extra copies of the
paper on that day will please notify us
in time. It is needless for us to say
who Chief Justice Henderson was or
who Mr.. Kingsbury is.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Journal writes "Presi-
dent Grant has headed a campaign
subscription with one thousand dol
lars, being two per cent. on his years
salary, and Allen Rutherford, of
North Carolina, is giving the names of
the departments, asking al who draw
pay to give two per cent. of their
years wages. AS Mr.. Rutherford is
not now in the public service this is
not violation of the recent enact
ment against levying contributions
for political purposes. No, but it is a
very petty evasion Of the statute.

The Executive Committee of the
University have been looking about
for some weeks to find Professor
competent to teach practically Zoo
logy, Botany, Geology. Mlneralogy,
&C., in other words Natural History.
They have found him in the person of
Professor w. H. Smith, late of the
University of Michigan. who has made
these studies a specially, and has a
reputation for great proficiency in
them.
The University of Michigan has a
high character with'i its extensive, num-
erous and learned Professors, for turn
ing out men skilled in the branches
relating to agriculture, and as We hear
that Professor Smith is young, enthu-
siastic and hard worker, we look for
new departure in this direction at
our University.

Upon these figures which are the
best exhibit the Radicals can present.
the New York San makes the follow
ing comments: "There are in the ag-
gregate 500 electoral votes; therefore
it will require 1876 votes to elect. Ac-
cording to this table Tilden will require
81 votes from the doubtful States to
give him majority, while only % are
wanted to elect Hayes. And hers is
where the peculiar significance of the
''doubtful'' list comes in. No one sup-
poses that either Louisiana, MISSISSIPPI
pi or North Carolina would go for
Hayes unless overcome by Federal in
timidaticn, but it will be observed
that these three States alone would
supply the wanting 20 votes for Hayes
and four over. Hence if the Repub-
lican managers find themselves COM
PEELED to give up all hores of carry
ing New York and Indiana, we may
expect to see vigorous use of the
bayonet in the three Southern States
named, in order to secure the indis
pensable % votes. This shows a very
nice prospect for the Republican tick
ct, admitting Zachariah's estimates to
be correct; but, long b fore the cleo
ton, he will fnd his Hayes column
so fearfully demoralized as to effectu>
ally upset all these profound calcula-
tiOns."

VERMONT. d MT EXPECT 1T
ILL., 4o4 l.

WEIR MONT. I'D N'T EXPECT HI
The State election in Vermont takes
place next Tuesday, and being the
first Oh the list of elections to occur
before the final effort to be made in
November, it is attracting far more at
tention than it deserves. The Radicals
are straining every nerve and making
the most strenuous exertions just as
if there was really something to be
made or something to be lost there
on that day. The object of all this is
simply to create false impression
next week when the election returns
shall be published and we warn
our readers in time what the
game is. The State of Yer
mont has a voting population of
only about 10000, of whom never as
many as 200 have voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, leaving the Radical ma
jority in round numbers at 80, 900 ! OF
course under these circumstances YER
mont will go Radical, and overwhelm-
ingly Radical. The Democrats will
get some $4,000 votes and the Radi-
Gals will get some $4,000. If we shake
Vermont from these figures, Hayes and
Wheeler may as well shut up shop at
once and go straight home, or as old
DIR. Mitchell, of blessed memory, used
to say in dismissing his congregation
'to the several places of their respec-
tive abodes.''
Bear this in mind, good reader, and
be not alarmed because the Radicals
carry Vermont.

THE FORCE ACT ITNCONSTITU-
IEONAIl.

The New York Herald calls the at.
tention of the President to the fact
that the enforcement act, under which
he assumes to issue his war manifesto,
has been declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United
ment stands precisely now as if no law
had ever been passed for its enforce
ments IN the way in which Don Cam
eron and Zach Chandler propose to
enforce it. The decision ct the Su-
preme Court was proposed only in
March last. and it covers the whole
ground Oh which the action of Grant
rests. It will be remembered that the
fifteenth amendment declares that the
light to vote shall not be denied or
abridged on account of race or color,
and provides that Congress shall
have power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation AMI the
enforcement act so-called was
passed for the purpose of making the
article as effective as Radical inge.
uuity and partisan hate could we'll
make it. But this act the Supreme
Court declares to he unconstitutional
in the following language;
"We are not able said Chief JUS
tice Waite, in delivering the opinion
Of the court, 'to reject part which is
unconstitutional and retain the re-
IL
separate that which is unconstitutional
fr 3m that which is not" "Within it's
legitimate sphere Congress is supreme
and beyond the control of the courts;
but if it steps outside of its constitu~
tional limitations and attempts that
which is beyond its reach, the courts
are authorized to, and when called up
on in due course of legal proceedings
must annul it's encroachments upon
the reserved power of the States and
the people. To limit this statute in the
manner now asked for would be to
make new law, not to enforce an old
one. This is no part of our duty. We
must therefore decide that Congress
has not yet provided by appropriate
legislation for the punishment of the
otfense charged in the indictment"
This settles the whole question as
authoritatively as it can ever be set
tied by judicial determination and de-
cision. The unconstitutional provi--
sions Of the act are declared to be so
intertwined and interviewer with its
constitutional features that they cannot
be separated by the court, and there
was 40 alternative but to declare the
which the court did. It remains to be
seen how Attorney General Taft will
wriggle out of this judicial dilemma.

Trenton Letter.

TRENTON, Wis. April 18th, 1876
Ed. Grange Adrance:-We are now
having our busiest time. Farmers are
sowing and preparing the ground for
seed. We notice considerable clearing
going on in the woods, which betokens
wealthy farms in the future.
Probably there is no section of coun-
try as far north as this better adapted
to raising Indian corn than Trenton
prairie and it is a mystery to US why the
farmers thereon do not raise this staple
altogether. The only reason we can
think of is the market. The city of
Red Wing seems to be poor market.
for if farmers should rush in corn as
they do wheat, it would fall ten cents a
bushel every day, till it would have to be
given away. The trouble is no one
with capital will take hold of it. Surely
there is money in it more so than wheat.
In the fall Of '73 and "a corn sold at
forty-6ve cents per bushel, and in the
spring of each year it sold for seventy
five cents, and late in the season for
nearly double. Last fall it brought but
forty-6ye cents, and is but that now. in

$500 per hundred, two bushels of corn

fore the season is over. Now the far
mer has but oae general pay day, and
that is in the fall; and if he has corn he
must sell it then at half the price it
would bring in the spring, in order to
get means to pay his expenses.
Every one seems to care nothing for
wheat and cry out hard times. Take q
load of wheat into Red Wing to-day, and
not less than seven, but generally eleven
wheat buyers will endeavor to purchse
it, three or four will get on the load,
pass their judgment on it, and if it looks
clean and is large berry, they will bid
fair; but the question we are coming at
is, are not the wheat merchants carry
ing their business little to far? Is
this necessary? Are people blind?
Can not the farmers find the warehous
es with out half dozen runners?
There may be few farmers who like it,
but it is not upheld by them generally.
Could not some wheat buyers make
arrangements to buy corn? There are
a few feedstores that deal in that line,
but to limited extent. It is true that
they do not rush on the street to buy.
There is no need Of it. Almost anyone
can tell feedstore when they see it.
We do not wish to criticise, but it
would be great help to farmers if
some one would take hold and buy corn
in the fall, and another thing would be a
help, if some one would start a corn
starch factory; there is splendid OPEN
ing here. Think this matter over ye
