Division Among Southern Republicans.

Washington Cor. -. Louis Republican.
Among the better class Of Republic
cans both in the Senate and the House
there are frequent evidences that the
dislike for their carpet-bag associates
grows greater every day. The move
ment begun in several If the Southern
States to reform the X epublican party
and accomplish the impossible task Of
emancipating il from the corrupt influ-
ences which have heretofore controlled
it, meets with undisguised sympathy
from many of the Northern Republicans
in both branches, and there is good
reason to believe that the elements are
now shaping for a serious division in
the Republican convention. The
movement begun in Mississippi by AL
corn, continued in South Carolina by
Chamberlain and just about to begin in
Alabama, has the hearty sympathy Of not
a few Northern Republicans, and il is
quite apparent that two wings Of the
party will send representatives from
the South asking admission to the Re
publican Convention. Such undOubted
partisans as Edmunds and Dawes are
certain, however, TO throw their inilu-
once in favor Of the reform wing, no
matter how much of %irregularity may
have existed in the election Of its repre-
sentatives. Senator Edmunds is par
ticularly outspoken in denunciation Of
the carpet-baggers. Referring TO the
pressure for Pinchback's admission 10
the Senate the other day, he said that
he would think there was a ring at the
hack of il IL We're not that senator
Clayton was such an earnest advocate
Of Pinchback's claims. He and other
influential members of the party are m
derstood to have given the Acorn
Chamberlain schismatics Of
their support, and lively times may be
looked for when the convention meets.

Insect Statistics.

In l1S2 the caterpillars of the brown
tail moth were 80 numerous as To de-
foliate the trees Of a very large part Of
the South Of England. The alarm was
SO great that public PRAYERS were
Offered in the churches that the calam-
ity might be stayed. The poor were
paid n shilling per bushel for collect
ing caterpillar-' webs 20 be burned un-
der the inspection OF the ovcrseer Of
the parish, and four score bushels were
collected daily in some parishes. But
on the other hand, the benefits derived
from the labor Of some insects should
not be overlooked; some species feed
only on noNiOus weeds. and others prey
on still more uONious insects. One Of
the greatest friends Of the agriculturist
is the family of ichncumon flies, which
lay their egg, in the bodies Of living
caterpillars, in which they are
Matched, thus destroying them; al
though the caterpillar, after being
"ichneumoned." has still a vo-
racious appetite. The caterpillars
which feed on the cabbage eat twice
their weight in = day the larvae OF some
Of the ilesh-flies eat a much larger pro-
portion than this. The productive pow
ers Of insects vary very much. Some
lay only two eggs; others, such as the
white ant, 40, 1000, laying them at
the rate of sixty a minute. The queen
of the beehive j. capable Of LAYING 3d.
600 in a season the female wasp, 80
600. The majority of insects, however,
lay but one hundred; in general, the
larger the insect, the fewer eggs il lays.
Most insects have two generations in a
year; some have twenty; others take
years from the time the egg is
laid until their death in a perfect state.
But probably not above five per cent. Of
the eggs laid become perfect insects.
Our insectivoyotis birds are diligent in
destroying the awe Of insects, but they
will not DO all latis required; hard la

Bristow Stands Alone.
IFrom the View York sum

ARAA Nf 70 FAh ~4A
Some of the Republican organs are
making a feeble attempt To deny the
truth Of the reports that there is oppo-
sition to Mr.. Bristow on the part Of
Grant and in the Cabinet, because OF
the ~unrelenting wal Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury on the Whisky Rings.
These denials are couched in language
that plainly indicates that there is such
AN assault on Mr.. Bristow in progress.
Whatever they may say, it j. undoubt-
edly true that MIR. Bristow's zeal against
the Whisky thieves has made the Cabi-
net of Grant = hot place for him. We
print this morning a circumstantial a c
count of the efforts of members Of the
Cabinet to checkmate MIR. Bristow, and
10 drive him from the Treasury.
The removal of Mr.. Henderson a coun-
sci for the Government in the st. Louis
whisky cases, caused a breach between
Secretary Bristow and Attorney-General
Pierrepont. which, instead Of healing.
has grown wider since the Indictment
Of Babccck. Mr.. Pierrepont unwar-
rantedly interfered in the prosecution
with a view to saving Babcock. and Mr..
Bristow. like an honest and determined
man who was striving only to do his
duty without regard 10 consequences,
strenuously objected to such interested
interference. Grant, 81 course. n Bah.
cocks hacker, supports Mr.. Pierreponi,
and carries with him in the assault
against the Secretary ~ the Treasury
all the other members ~ his Cabinet.
Bristow stands alone. but his position
IS stronger than ihat If his assailants,
for he i intrenched behind truth andth,
confidence Of the people. while Grant
and the Others are leagued together q

press order Of the President ia directing
tie Comptroller to pass the claims. 1t
Is also asserted that in other Jobs and
swindles which Bristow has inyesti-
gated, such as the Seal Lock ease, the
Alaska Seal Company's contract, etc,
evidence has been found TO the effect
that the corruption involved was made
possible by the action Of the President,
and that he has used his position and
influence in the interest Of the unques-
tiOnably dishonest purposes Of his
friends. The cool politeness on the
part Of the President is extending to
Messrs. Pierrcpont. Fish and Jewell.
Gentlemen who have observed the signs
predict that Bristow will AGATE his
place in the Cabinet at or about the
time OF the conclusion Of the Babcock
trial, no matter what may be the verdict
in that case.

One OF Babcoek's Defenders.
LION bal 81. L6ui. TIme..l

Prom the II. Louis Times.l
The most conspicuous figure among
the array Of Babcock's legal defenders
j. the cX-Attorne General Landaulet
Williams, the very man under whose
auspices the whisky ring began, grew
and iiourished, the very man who
could have made it impossible or
brought it to justice years ago,and there
By have saved the country millions of
dollars the very man who was so no
%toriously corrupt that even a Radical
Senate refused TO confirm him for the
judicial position to which he was nomi-
mated, and whom even Grant felt COM
PEELED To kick out of his Cabinet. Yet
that same "patriot" now publicly and
shamelessly acts a the leading adviser
OF Babcock, sitting next TO him in
court, constantly suggesting the con-
duct of the defense and acting gener al
~ a the leading spirit. If justice had
its way Landaulet Williams would sit
where he now sits in an entirely diffe r
ent capacity. IL the whole truth had
come to light he, too, would be a de-
PENDANT instead Of being a defender.
But then justice is sometimes tardy,
generally capricious. often v~icarious.

A Parrot in Court.

About six months ago a parrot be-
longing to the Sisters of st. Boniface
Convent disappeared and was recently
found in the possession Of Pierre Nal
lett, who lives on L%apeyrouse Street. A
demand being made upon him he re-
fused 10 surrender the bird, asserting
that he had purchased Il, and would not
give il up unless paid an extravaganza
price. The Sisters have therefore in
stituted a suit in the Second Justices
Court to recover their bird, which they
value at 500. Tie parrot speaks Ger
man fluently, and its n say that
they will have no difficulty in proving
their property. Upon the trial the bird
is to be brought into court TO tell what
he knows about kidnapping. The bird
is well known to the pupils who attend
school ut the convent, and Il is said that
a test Of Identification will consist Of
the birds obedience to a certain sign
known only TO its rightful owncr.-Ncw
