surplus Of Grain In the United states.
Oourier-Journal.1
The impending strife in Europe, and
the probable suspension OF the impor-
tnnt grain trade OK the Black Sea, upon
which England and Western Europe
largely depend to make up the Dell
oienoy Of their own production, are
watched with deep interest In govern
ment circles. A carefully prepared
statement from the Agricultural Depart
ment shows that the whole product OF
the United States last year was nearly
400. oOv, 600 bushels. Taking the average
OF the past five years as a basis, 1t Is
shown that the amount required Tor
home consumption will be about 20O...
600, 600 bushels, leaving q surplus 9.
100, 0O0. 900 bushels for export.
l'he average export mas been about
creased to 100000. It Ia estimated
that about thirty million bushels Of last
years surplus is yet In the country. and
will be ready for prompt shipment
should the foreign demand increase as
anticipated, through the effect OF the
European war upon the foreign sources
of sr1ppIv. The latest official returns
of the Department OF Agriculture show
an increased acreage OF winter VIII eat,
which now presents favorable pros
pect of q full average yield. LII the
lr. sent on look be realized, portion
of the crop will yield fully 1eo, o0o. 600
bushels.
At this early period in the planting
| season, 1t Is impossible to state what
will be- the acreage and prospective pro-
duct OF the spring wheat. with the
prospect of a large demand fromabroad,
| Il is believed at the department that the
acreage OF spring wheat will be largely
Increased. Much OF this class OF wneh'
lis grown In the sections subject to visi.
tations OF grasshoppers. and ills thougn a
tnat this may deter farmers from IN
creasing their acreage OF this crop. I'm
/ der favorable circumstances It is ex
pected that the aggregate yield will ex
coed former years; and Ia the event O
a protracted war, Europe will afford {
ready market for all the surpius avail
able for foreign consumption.

Life Insurance Rascality

In the whole history OF life
insurance in this country there
has never been such a sickening
exhibit as that which the state
superintendent makes of the af-
fairs and transactions of the Sc
curity Company. This is not a
case of mismanagement or mis-
fortune, but of downright swim
ding and perjury. The officers
of that concern deliberately fall
sifed their accounts by entries
that they knew 20 be wholly fc-
titious, and then as deliberately
made oath TO the falschoCd.
Bad as was all this, it was not
enough; they added to it sys-
tematic process of fleeing their
unfortunate policy-holders by
inducing them to accept new
policies for old ones, thus relin-
gushing their claims for the re-
serve which had accumulated on
their policies. BY this specious
rascality the officers were in
hopes to build up the company
and cover their own crimes.
The exposure comes none too
soon. Let us hope that the
punishment will be proportional
to the ofense.-Nelp York Irib-
une.

RI Jere Black voices the
popular opinion when he says
"no man who has ever perform
cd judicial duty with a show
Of fitness or propriety, will
shock the common sense and
common honesty of the nation
by deciding that q fraud is as
good as the truth merely be-
cause it comes wrapped in the
forms of law" No one will
dispute this proposition, and no
one acquainted with the facts
and forming an honest opinion
upon them, should deny the fur
Their statement Of Blacks that
"this tribunal knows, and can
not shut its eyes to the fact that
Hayes has no title except a t.
tie founded on plain, palpable
fraud and falsehood. The judg-
cs can not look with the least
degree of allowance upon such
an infamy."

reason am / compelled to give
assent to any declarations, which
have been or may be made on
this floor, that the Tilden Elec-
tors were truly elected in Flor
ida, and that only by ways that
are dark and tricks that in this
case have not proven to be vain,
where these Electors, and ma
jority of the people of the u
nited States, defrauded out of
their fair and lawful victory"
Mr.. Purman described at
length the manner in which the
canvass was conducted, and
charged that Cowgirl, a men,
Der of the Board, was personal
ly consulted on the fact of frauds
having been committed, and
that he gave his assurance in
one instance that if it were
plausibly covered before them
for adjudication, it should suf-
fer no scrutiny or discount al
his hands. Mr.. Purman con-
Guided as follows:
~ thank God and the good
people of our State that Flori-
da does not present the alarm
ing spectacle of two rival gov
ernments upon her soil, both
claiming to represent the SOW
ereign will of her people. No
one can foresee the future mis-
fortunes that may befall the
States of South Carolina and
Louisiana in consequence of
their dual governments, though
it is my opinion that, whether
Gov. Hayes or Gov. Tilden will
succeed to the Presidency, in
neither event will the RepuRli-
can claimants be able to main
tain their authority, whether
rightfully entitled to it or not.
The pressure win be too great,
both on them and on the Presi-
dent, and the policy of the Re-
publican Administration neces-
sarily will be 10 secure peace
and reconciliation at the price
of any concessions involving
the rights Of Southern Repub:
licans."

The Dog.

After all the fuss and talk a.
bout "King Dog" and the re-
peal of this law which has been
in the way of his Majesty eat
ing all the sheep he wanted, and
whenever he wanted, the Leg
islature has got the matter in
such a twist that it will be i'm
possible for two years to repeal
it, as will be seen from the ap-
pended article from the -Ameri-
caR:
To recur amid the falling
ruins Of the Republic and the
wreck of constitutional liberty,
to the dog law: On Friday
last-of all days in the week
on that unlucky day, the dog
repeal measure was, so to speak,
hanged. Hangman's day proved
too much for the measure which
is SO dear to many a heart. On
Friday two bills for the repeal
of the dog law were rejected.
There are plenty OF bi Is left, and
no doubt that consideration in
duced the friends of the repeal
measure to permit two bills to
be consigned to oblivion.
The Constitution Of Tcnnes-
see, however, provides that
CATER a bill has been rejec-
ted, no bill containing the same
substance shall be passed into a
law during the same session"
The Constitution also pro-
vides that "each house may de-
termine the rules Of its pro-
ceedings." Under this power
the House has adopted u rule
that when a question is carried
in the affirmative or negative,
it shall be in order for any men,
Der voting with the majority to
move a reconsideration thereof
at any time during the same
days of actual session.
A reconsideration could have
been moved on Friday, or Sat-
urday, or Monday. Under the
rules, the bills are now finally
rejected, and under the Consti-
tuition no bill having The same
substance can now become a
law. and we have no doubt so
well posted a Humanitarian as
the Speaker will so decide when
it becomes his duty to pass upon
it.
There is no help for it and 70
way out of if. Whether for
veal or woe 20 dogs or men, the
dog law cannot be repealed this
session.

9 Tie law creating the
Louisiana Returning Board
reads:
SECTION 2. Be 1t further em-
acted, dc, That five persons, to
be elected by the Senate from
NIL political parties, shall be the
Returning Officers for all cleo
tions in the State, a majority Of
whom shall constitute IA quorum,
and have power to make the re-
tnrns Of all elections. In case
OF any vacancy by death,
resignation or otherwi-e, by
either OF the Board, then the
vacancy shall be filled by the
residue Of the Board of Return
ing officers. The Returning
Officers shall, after such cleo
ton, before entering upon their
duties, take and subscribe to
the following oath before a
Judge Of the Supreme or any
District Court:
al, \ B, do solcmnly swear
Tor affirm) that l will faithfully
and diligently perform the du-
ties Of a Returning Officer as
prescribed by law; that ] will
carefully and honestly canvass
and compile statements Of the
votes, and make a true and cor
rect return Of the election; sc
help me God
In order to do a lawful thing,
the Board itself must be Il law
ful Board. If the letter and
the spirit of the law giving the
Board the right to do any thing
are totally disregarded, the acts
of the Board are void. 1t is
peremptorily commanded that
the Board consist of FIVE per-
eons. 1t consisted Of but four.
Give persons shall be the Re-
turning Officers" says the law.
Clearly four can not be. They
shall be "from all political par
ties" says the statute. They
were from bit one, and by that
token could do no lawful act.
The "vacancy shall be filled"
Gags the law. The vacancy was
not filled, and by this fact also
The Board was a lOwless one,
and could not perform a lawful
net. These facts confronted the
Commission before they reached
the question whether or not the
return made by the Louisiana
Returning Board was "truc and
correct"
