The Massachusetts, intellect has wrestled
with mighty problem, and has thrown it
1t was nothing less than how many pea
beans there are in a barrel. The question
was raised by Lowell merchant, and after
numerous guesses it was settled by count
ing the beans in pound aud multiplying
the result by the number of pounds IN a
full barrel. And thus it was ascertained
that there were $4,000 beams in full bar
rel. But mechanical mathematician was
not satisfied. He insisted that the method
wassnnscientilic. He measured bean and
then measured the barrel, and found that
a barrel would hold only $4,000 beans.
Which is right? is the exciting question.

Change. I'm voting Population

The Springfield (Mass) Republican, in
publishing the vote of New England,
makes suggestive comparison with the
result in Louisiana. From q table which
| it gives, which is entirely complete in
every case, save that of Maine. where a
few small plantations were omitted, the
total vote has largely. increased-from
5l9, go in 1872 to 636, ,993 in 1876, gain OF
| 147, ,723 votes, or trifle over % per cent
| The democrats gained by far the largest
| share of this increased vote. While the
republican vote has grown in the four
years mentioned from 337 ,532 to 3769S3
| or 80, AL votes, the democratic vote has
gone up from 181 ,23S to 2S9, $3.50, gain of
108,092. In other words, while the re-
publican vote has increased about II per
cent, the democratic has increased about
TO.
The Republicans has had the curiosity
to figure out what the result would be in
Louisiana if the republican and demo-
cratic votes of 1862 in that State has in
creased in the same ratio. There are
of course no trustworthy returns of the
1872 election-that Gigantic fraud, as
Grant finally styled tin Louisiana.
But suppose that the about 5000 votes
which the boards figured up so different
ly that, while one gave Greeley 6, ,492 ma
jority, the other gave Grant 14,G24, We're
really about evenly divided. On this
suppostion growth of IL per cent in the
republican vote would make it now II $50
and an increase of GO per cent. in the
democratic would make that 102, ,400-a
democratic majority of 30,720 If, how
ever, we take the Custom House board
(Kellogg) count, which gave Grant Il 1853
and Greeley 81 ,029, and apply II per
cent. increase to Grants vote and a 60
per cent. to Greeley's, the result would
be so, ,251 for Hayes and 81 ,246 for Tilden
"a democratic majority of 1895 or
about two thousand more than is claimed
We suppose there are not very many
people who believe that the republican.
party in Louisiana is less likely to have
lost strength in the lpast four years than
the Republican party in New England.

MIR. HEwrr's LETTERS.

EVIDENCES THAT THEY HAVE BEEN OPEN
ED-soME SPECIAL POINTS.
A Washington despatch to the World
"By a somewhat curious coincidence
Mr. Hewitt's mail this morning from
New York came without single opened
letter forlthe first time since the election.
Two letters received from Western post
offices. one in Illinois, show plain marks
of having been opened by steam and re-
sealed. The fay is puckered slightly,
and is soiled in the resealing. which
shows its traces in smears OF mucllage.
Resealing the letter by the writer will,
of course, produce this appearance. But
when, as has happened in the past three
or four weeks, out Of thirty or forty let
tiers received by Mr.. Hewitt nearly all
have shown the same traces, it Is impos-
sible to conclude that this can have &C.
cured anywhere except in the Post office.
The first signs of this practice happened
shortly after the election. Since coming
here it has been observed for the most
part only in the letters coming through
the New York Post Office On them it
has been practised steadily and with
enough system and method to prevent
delay in the transmission OF the Letters
which have reached Mr.. Hewitt with
reasonable promtitude. In addition to
the palpable signs of having been open
ed, in one instance the writer of IL letter
wrote his name across the hlp and body
of the envelope. On being resealed the
lines of the signature failed to tarry per-
fectly-p palpable proof that the letter
had been tampered with. No purpose
to obtain aquaintance with MIR. Hewitt's
correspondence from any particular part
of the country has appeared. Letters
from all,parts of the country have been
opened, through their contents do not
appear to have been disturbed. 1t was
not at any time Mr.. Hewitts intention
to make complaint, as he considered the
discovery OF the culprit an impoSslhi.lty,
to say nothing of the impossibili;y Of
proving by legal evidenc4 taat the letter
was opened in the Post Office and no. 10y
any one of the many hInds through
which the letter passes. As result,
few OF the envelopes have been preserved
and those that have been constitute a
highly suggestive study. In most cases
they appear to have bren opened hy par
ticular dirty hands. u many the line
made by the flap, when first gummed
down, is distinctly apparent. In others
the ua:iase and wrinkled flap are the
best proofs of the practice. Watcher
the letter, Of othef persons in position
have bgea opened has not yet apeared,'

a RATIONAL NIEw.-The Pail Mall
London) Gazette seems to be capable OF
drawing just conclusions from conceded
political facts in the Southern States. 1t
remarks'that the republicans have given
the colored man his suffrage under the
protection of the ballot-boX; they have
passed stringent laws to exclude the pos
Sibility of intimidation; they have placed
federal officers, political and executive,in
every State to see that the law carried
out, and they have sent down an army OF
federal soldiers Mt the crisis of the elec-
ton to secure the preservation of the
peace. The Gazette concludes that "h',
after all this, they complain that the ma

must not expect to receive any atten-

CATION of the Congressional joint rules
The caterer in the saloons inside theCapi-
tol astonished some of the tempera nee
Senators and Representatives n few days
ago by displaying decanters filed with
wines and liquors on his counters and
shelves, together with cut lemons, bot
ties of bitters, glasses filed with mint,
saucers containing coffee and spice, and
bar. As this was novel feature in the
Congressional refreshment rooms, the
salt of liquors being prohibited, an n
quiry into the meaning of the infracton
was made, and elected the discovery
that the restriction was contained in the
nineteenth Joint rule, As the joint rules
are void of course the caterer finds that
he is no longer compelled to forego the
most profitable branch of his business.
