Fun AT HoME.-There's nothing like
it to be found-no, not if you search
the world through. I want every pos
sible amusement to keep the boys at
home evenings. Never mind if they
do make a noise around whistling
and hurrahing! We would stand
against if we could have a vision of
the young men gone to destruction
for the very reason that, having cold,
disagreeable, dull, stiff fresides at
home, they sought amusement else
where. Don't lot them wander be-
yond the reach of mothers influence
yet awhile. The time will come, be-
fore you think, when you would give
the world to have the house tumbled
by those very boys; when your heart
shall long for those noisy steps in
the hall, and their ruddy cheeks laid
up to yours; when you would rather
have their jolly whistle than the mu-
sic of Thomas or the songs of Nilsson:
when you would gladly dirty carpets,
aye live without carpets at all, but to
have their bright, strong forms beside
you once more. Then play with and
pet them. Praise Johnny's drawing,
Nellie's music, and baby's first attempt
at writing his name. Encourage Tom
to cut off his stick of wood, and Dick
to persevere in making his hencoop.
If one shows talent for figures, tell
him he is your famous mathematician;
and if another loves geography, tell
him he will be sure to make great
traveller or q foreign minister. Be-
come interested in their pets, be they
rabbits, pigeons or dogs. Let them
help you in home decorations; send
them to gather MOSES, grasses and
bright autumn leaves, to decorate
their room when the snow is ell over
the earth. And you will keep your
self young and fresh by entering into
their joys, and keep those joys inno-
cent by your knowledge Of them.

GLASS SNAKES AT THE AQUARIUM. -
Some very culiors reptiles have jus:
been reccive.! n the New York Aqua
iinm. They are named glass snakes,
and come from the wilds of Asia.
They have the head of lizard, with
well formed eyes and distinct eyelids,
and serpentine body, are entirely
harmless, as may be guessed from
their mild expression, and are about
three feet long. A curious feature
of this animal is that when struck
with stick Or other light weapon
they Immediately break into pieces
from four to six inches in length,
hence their name of glass snakes.
they are exceedingly brittle from the
middle OF the body to the tail, aud
are probably the first that have ever
been exhibited in this country.

EDIToRs CLARION: Ii may not be amlSs
to call the attention of the present ieglsia
ture to the enactment of law amending
the law of evidence, so as to allow parties
charged with a violation of the crlminai
law. to testify of their own motion In the
cause.
Our system of jurisprudence is progress
siye 1t is within the memory OF perhaps
the youngest barrrister in the Legislature,
when the common law rule when promo :
tied parties in interest from testliylng IN
civil cases was repealed, yet in this brief
neriod of time it has been demonstrated to
be one OF the wisest laws upon our statute
book.
Why should not a man be allowed to tes-
| tify in his own case in criminal prosecu-
ton against him and leave the jury to
| Judge of the weight Of his testimony
| How often does it happ2n in these degene-
| rate days that good man Il the victim OF
| some malicious scoundrel. who can institute
| criminal prosecution against him, and get
up in the court and swear away his chafac-
! ter. his liberty. or his life; while he sits a
prisoner with his mouth sealed Where is
the justice or the wisdom OF such rule !
Let the Legislature answer.
| For the information of those who may not
have looked into this subject it may be sta
| ted that several years ego the rule was
adopted in the State of Maine, allowing
parties, defendants in criminal causes, to
testify, and since that time the
following States have adopted IT. Califor-
mia, Colorado. Florida, Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New I'll tmpshire, New
Jersey. New York, Nevada, Ohio Pennsyl
yania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Wisconsin. and believe Missou-
ri, but am not certain.
This question is now being elaborately
discussed in England and is favored by
some of the wisest Jursts of that Realm.
Let the Legislature investigate this mat
ter, and let the law of evidence be Sc
amended as to place Mississippi sice by
side with the most advanced views of the
age upon the subject of Criminal Jurispru-
| dence jus.

The Electoral F1ac.

Referring to this new tangled plan of
the Joint Committee, the N. O. Democr 1t
says: "Tf the Democratic party of the
West and North have not the manhood
to assert their rights at all hazz lr,ls--
rights accorded to them by popular m I
jority of nearly three hundred thousand
voters and twenty-three electors; if they
are so much concerned about their m tie
rial interests that they can calmly con-
template submission to usurpation and
dare not face the dread alternative of
war, because of the losses it might entail,
then we have no doubt that they will
gladly embrace the opportunity presented
to them by this plan of escaping from
their dilemma"
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1877-01-24

THE Joint Committees plan of arbi-
trating the Presidential question pro-
vides that when only one set of returns
is presented from State any objection to
their reception must be sustained by the
concurrent vote OF both houses. If the
contrivance is adopted this provision will
have the merit of destroying the plan of
the conspirators to prevent the votes OF
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina and other Southern States,
from which there are but one set of re-
turns, from being counted. The objec-
ton of the Senate will amount to moth
ing, as 1t will require the concurrent ac-
ton of both houses.

The Conference Plam-For and
Against.

The following resolutions concerning
the Conference plan of counting the Elec-
toral vote, pro and con, have been of
fered in the Tennessee Legislature
Mr.. Freeman offered the following Joint
resolution which was laid over under the
rule:
Resolued, That the report of the special
committee appointed by the Congress of the
United States TO devise means for counting
the electoral vote meets our hearty appro :
baton, and our Representatives and Sena-
tors in Congress are requested to give the
same their earnest support, and to use all
hone rable means to secure its adoption.
Resotued, That we will cheerfully acqui-
esce and abide by any peaceable adjustment
OF the PRESIDENTIAL complications; that we
deprecate all expressions of violence as
tending to beget feelings of disquietude and
discomfort, thereby tending to impair and
destroy that sentiment of loyalty. without
which no peopl, can be prosperous and
happy.
Mr.. Porter offered the following bopsa
joint resolution, whdh was laid over under
the rule:
Resolred, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed, and our Representatives be
requested, to do all in their power in a
proper, legitimate way, to prevent the COM

RESOLUTIONS of the Democracy of
Maine.

ResolUed, That W demand that Congress
shall honestly and partially ascertain the
result of said election upon the same princi-
pie and through the same processes by
which the result of all previous national
elections have been ascertaned and declar-
ed since the foundation OF our Government
and TO the popular will thus ascertained and
declared, the sixty thousand Democrats of
Maine Will render willing obedience, an d
they will imperatively demand the same
from every citizen of the Republic.
RESOLVED, That if conspirators are now al
lowed to succeed in reversing the actual
vote of two or three States and counting
them for candidates against whom there is a
clear majority, u similar proceeding at any
future election can be applied to ten or any
number of States necessary TO retain power
IN the hands of the ruling party, and cleo
tive government in this country would be
at an end.
NoTE-This is very fine, and very
high-sounding but what does it amount
to, if Congress, after "ascertaining the
result" and knowing as it positively will
that Mr.. Tilden is elected, shirks it's
responsibility, and submits the question
as to who shall occupy the Presidency to
a board of arbitrator unknown to the
Constitution. aud who will decide accord
ing to their partisan predictions +?
Why not have devolved the election at
once upon ten members of Congress and
five Supreme Judges, without all the
turmoil, strife and cost of an election in
the mode directed by the Constitution |?
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1877-01-24

SINCE Congress is to call upon the
Supreme Court to perform its political
duties, why may not the Supreme Court
return the compliment by asking Con-
gress to relieve it of its judicial RESPONSE
bilities? True the Constitution declares
that the Legislative and Judiciary de-
partments are separate and independent
of each other; but if the pre-.
cedent is set in the one case why not fol
low it in the other? 1t is poor rule
that don't work both ways.

colored, of Fayette Jefferson County,
Mississippi, testified that he had heen
magistrate and member of the Missis-
sippi Legislature, and was three times
elected Sheriff of Jefferson County, but
before he had served the whole OF his
third term the office was declared vacant
by the County Board of Supervisors, and
Democrat was chosen in his place. He
testifes to numerous instances in which
intimidation had been used to prevent
colored Republicans from holding politi-
cal meetings. and threats made upon
their lives by armed Democrats. The
witness left Mississippi four days before
the last election, as he considered his life
in danger. He is still afraid he would
be killed should he return to his home at

IT is said that the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States, il
selected by the four Associate Judges
who are on the Electoral Commission, to
serve in that capacity, will decline to dc
so, on the sufficient ground that the
duties of his Office are judicial, not pollti
cal. 1t is to be hoped that the other
members will take the same view of the
subject.
