THls is what Senator JOHN A. LOGAN,
Republican, thought of the Louisiana
Returning Board, when its villslny was
discussed before the Senate in March,
1873:
"The governments. or pretended gov
erpment now set up with Kellogg, as
now, for Governor) is one that has no
existence IN fact, founded upon fraud,
without returns. without votes, without
snything except 8 mere desire on the
par, of q combustion 70 establish gev-
srnmsut. They have done SO BY calling
to their aid force and power, and o'y
that force and power they have estso-
iished a government there, and reign
over the people contrary 70 their rights
and wishes, IN face of the law and in
violation of the Constitution"

A Proclamation.

BY the President of the United States
From year to year we have been accus-
toned to pause in our daily pursuits and
Get apart time to offer our thanks to
Almighty God for the special blessings
He has vouchsafed to us, with our
prayers for a continuance thereof. We
have at this time equal reason to be
thankful for His continued protection,
and for the many material blessings His
bounty has bestowed. In addition to
these favors accorded to us as indi-
viduals, we have especial occasion to ex-
press our hearty thanks to Almighty
God that by providence and guidance
our government established century
ago has been enabled to fulfill the pur-
pose of its founders in Offering an
asylum to the people of every race, Sc
curing civil and religious liberty to all
within its borders, and melting out to
every individual alike Justice and
equality before the laws. It is more
over especially our duty to offer our
humble prayersto to the Father of all Mer-
cies for continuance of His divine
favor to us as nation and as indi-
viduals. --..
BY reason of all these considerations, /,
Ulysses s. Grant, President of the Uni
ted States, do recommend to the PEOPLE
OF the United States to devote the thir-
tieth day of November next to the ex-
preston of their thanks and prayers to
Almighty God, and, laying aside their
daily avocations and all secular occupa-
tions, to assemble in their respective
places of worship aud observe such day
as day Of thanksgiving and rest.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this twenty
sixth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-six, and of the independence of
the United States of America the one
hundred and first. U. s. GRANT.
By the President.

The Freedman's Bank.

United States District Attorney Wells
has commenced two suits in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia against
General Oliver o. Howard, as commits
sioner of refugees, freedmen and aban-
doned lands, and as trustee and lawful
custodian of The irregular or retained
bounty fund, the first for $3.50, 900,
which it is alleged General Howard has
failed to account for, and the second for
the sum of $4,000, which the complaint
states is the balance and interest due for
premium and interest on United States
bonds belonging to the government and
appropriated for the use of the Freed
mans bureau, which have not been paid
over by General Howard nor expended
Tor the use of the bureau. The COM
plants are dated as of the twenty sixth OF
October and the defendant is required
to plead within twenty days after the
service of the papers.

Four Little Red Toes,

A ragged, starved faced elf of seven
or eight, having weather beaten basket
on her arm, searching for bits of coal
and splinters of wood around the docks
in New York. You may have seen such
sights every day. The gaslight made
her pinched face look all the more sor-
rowful, and somehow it seemed as if
her ragged dress looked more forlorn
than in the broad glare of day. As she
moved here and there, searching as
carefully as men look for gold, four lit
tie red toes peeped out from one dilapi-
dated shoe. They had been bruised
and hurt and frost bitten and stubbed
against stone and plank till the poor
child limped YEARLY. Her white face
provoked no sympathy, her futteripg
rags were unnoticed, her forlorn look
called forth no word, but the eyes of q
dozen men who loitered about the wharf
watched the four little red toes moving
here and there, and every heart grew a
bit softer.
"Five cents would buy more fuel
than she can pick up in week, whis-
pered brawDy rivorman as he felt for
his wallet.
The four little red toes were at the
edge of the wharf. The black waters
cast up their shadows and blinded her,
and a shrek and splash startled the
men who had been watching. They
ran up aud down, peered into the dark
ness and called out in trembling voices,
but the river gave up only the oldbrown
basket. -Four little red toes were drift
ing with the current, past wharf and
boat and slip, and white pinched face,
wearing q look of terror, wds turned
this way and that by the eddies. In
some bare room, up long flights of dark
stairs, mother waited and waited till
she fell asleep in her chair, but there
was no clatter of pair of old shoes on
the stairs to arouse her, and when day
dawned she lifted her head in startled
way, thought for an instant that she saw
four little red toes over by the door, and
then sprung up to cry out {:
The long night has passed away,
and the poor child has not come home II
Four little red toes, washed by the
waves to snowy whiteness-a white face
growing more ghastly as the weeds and
grasses set it in frame of green and
in some book in heaven was recorded
"Another soul is treasured here"

The Consumption of Lead,

The United States consumes 60, 900
tons of lead year. We last year inn
ported 1000 tons of lead; producing
at the same time $4,000 tons. Two
countries only, Spain and Great Britain,
are producing more lead than the
United States. 1t would only require q
slight increase of lead to give us sur.
plus for export; nor can any limit be
placed on future production. We dc
not need any protection. Lead can be
produced in this country as cheaply as
any other. Lead has become an Incl
dent of silver mining everywhere west
of the Rocky mountains. Argentiferous
galena is found everywhere. A few
years ago the miner did not know what
to do with this base metal. Now he
wants nothing better than to find that
his silver mine is carrying large pro.
portion OF lead. The day is not fal
distant when 50, 900 tons of lead will be
annually shipped from the port of Sar
Francisco to Europe. Lead will be
parted from the silver and both products
will be sold in the market. The con
sumption of lead in the civilized world
is enormous, aud it is increasing rapidly
The cheaper it becomes the more general
will be its use.

An Unfaithfui Wife.

A man in Wisconsin has applied for
a divorce, upon the ground that his
wife had married him under false pre-
lenses. He says she. told him while he
was addressing her that she could hoe
an acre of potatoes and split two cords
of wood between breakfast and dinner :;
and she had proved herself fearful
fraud, because she could only split half
a cord, and hoe three times across the
field. 1t seems hard that men are con
tinually to be made the victims of these
designing women. Why will wives trife
in this manner with the tenderest affec-
ton of their husbands? Why will they
shatter their heartstrings9 How much
happier would have been the home of
the Wisconsin woman if she had emu
lated the example of Shoshone sqnaws.
One of them goes out and digs turnips
all day, and then wheels them home at
night in a cart, while her self-sacrificing
husband, in the depth of his unspeaka.
BILE love, sits on the front doorsteps
smoking Long Jack tobacco and medi-
tating upon the number of drinks of
pyrotechnical rum he can put in h s
jug with the money he gets when he
sells that squaw. True love is always
hopeful o. the future.

Guiding even consumption. 1t seenis hardly
necessary to diate at length np1n the virtuss
Of this favorite remedy for all diseases Of the
lungs, throat and chest. 1t was introduced to
the public by DIR. Wister nearly half century
since, and by the wonderful cures which II
performed, gained an immediate and enviable
reputation, which to this day ii has fully sus-
tanned. From the gu'f Of the st. Lawrence to
the shores Of tho Pacific, and in many coun
tries abroad there are few villages or hamle,n
without living testimonials to the rapidity
and certainty OF it's curative effects. The pro-
prietors mindful of their responsibility to the
afflicted, exercise the utmost care in the eelec-
tion and compounding of the various ingre-
dients of which the Balsam is composed and
the sick are assured that the high standard of
excellence on which it's popularity is based
will always be maintained.

The Electoral Vote.

Senator Morton, of Indiana, in q cor
versation with reporter in reference to
the electoral vote of the United States,
says In 1865 the twenty second joint
rule was adopted. II worked as follows:
When the Senate and House assembled
in joint meeting to count the electoral
vote, If any objection, no matter how
trivial, was made with regard to the vote
in any State, the two bodies separated
and vote without debate was taken.
II either of them supported the objec-
ton the vote of that State was cast
out. Recognizing the suicidal policy of
this rule, l battled against it until it
was finally repealed. then introduced
bill providing that, in the event of an
objection being raised to the vote from
any State, that objection could only be
sustained by a confirmatory vote from
both houses. For three years 1 strug-
gled to get this bill through, and it did
pass the Senate twice. On the first oc
casion it was quashed in the House, but
on the second, last winter, Senator
Thurman, who had been its strongest
advocate, moved that the vote be recon-
sidered, and the bill went to the wall.
Just before the close of the session
members became alarmed at the situa-
ton, and were anxious to have prompt
action taken in the matter, but it was
too late. And now we are thrown back
upon the rule, or misrule, which pre-
vailed prior to the twenty second joint
rule, thus leaving the power entirely in
the hands of the Vice President. This
custom of leaving the decision to the
Vice-President arose from casus
OnaisSus in the Constitution, and the
effect was made evident by the case of
Wisconsin in 1857. Owing to severe
snowstorm the Presidential electors in
Wisconsin failed to meet on the ap-
pointed day, but cast their votes on a
later date. When the electoral vote was
being counted by Congress an objection
was raised against Wisconsin on the
ground of non-conformance to the law.
Vice President Mason, of Virginia, re-
fused to entertain the objection, and the
vote of Wisconsin was counted, as he
alone had the right to throw it out. So
you see we are in precisely the same
position to-day, and must depend upon
the Judgment and impartiality of one
man. L grant you it is too great q
power to be vested in one person, and
therefore it is that tried to remedy it.

JOnsOnby's Failure.

A discussion in the Jonsonby house as
to who should get up and light the kit.
ohen fire terminated in favor of Mrs.
Jonsonby. "If you would like to spend
the winter in Bulgaria, DEAR" said Mr..
Jonsonby at the breakfast table, speak.
ing as pleasantly as he knew how, and
with faint glow of hope lighting his
face, 81 will buy you ticket and get
you all the clothes you want" "And
where is Bulgaria." demanded Mrs.
Jopsonby, sharply. "It's famous
European watering place; heaps OF COM
pany there just now, hear; most OF
'em going to stay all winter" replied
Jonsonby, with guilty sinking of the
heart. Mrs. Jonsonby said she'd find
out something about the place before
she decided whether to go there or not,
and Jonsonby rose from the table and
left.
