SPEECH OF
HON. JOHN F. HOUSE.
DELIVERED IN THE U. s. HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,
FEB. 20, 1877.

Mr.. HOUSE. Mr. Speaker, The Louis
lana returning board is the most hap
PLY constructed and nicely adjusted
political machine that partisan ingenu-
ity has ever invented TO control pepu-
lar elections No party iu this coun-
try, that hopes to win success. can af-
ford TO DE without one. in the iiands-
of men possessed of sufficient skill to
do justice to the genius of its inven-
tors it can be made to count IN votes that
never were given wtha facility equalled
only by its power o count 0m those that
we're actually ca>t By legal voters. 1t
thus adds to the votes of one party
while it substracts from the strength of
the other-a process which cannot fail
to grind out victory for those iu whose
interest it is run Its manipulatioDs of
ballot-box eclipse in brilliant mysti-
fcation any Slight-of- f-haud perform
ances with which the most expert and
practiced juggler ever amazed and be-
wildered an audience. B!itz, in wit
Messing it 10 full operation, would have
hung his head in impotent shame; the
dark sednces of the Davenport brothers
would pale their Intellectual fires be-
fore it, and the science of mathematics
stand appalled, at It's power TO count.
Many gentlemen, who discussed the
electoral bill when that measure was
before the House, endeavored to de-
fine the meaning of the word count"
as used in the clause of the Constitu-
ton which provides for counting
the electoral vote, but if they have
any ambition to attack problem that
will make their heads swim, let them
rise and undertake to explain what
that word means in the vocabulary of
the Louisiana returning board. The
law which created it provides that
In case of any vacancy, by death, resigna-
ton, or otherwise, by either of the board,
then the vacancy shall be tilled by the resi-
due of returning officers,
The term of Office is unlimited, and
the power to fill vacancies runs on and
on to the end of time. 1t is not with
out beginning Of days, for there was
time when it had no existence, but it
may be without end of years. for when
once set in motion it is ended with the
power of self-propulslon, 0d intinitun1.
By its own inherent force, without the
whatever, it can run for a thousand
years, and at the end Of that period
have no less days to continue
its Spontaneous revolutions than when
it first began. When the world
is trembling in the throes of dissolu-
tion the legitimate successor of }.
Madison Wells can stand out on the
last crumbling fragment of time, and
clasping the returning board to his
his heart, like Campbell's last man

In case ofany vacancy, by death, resigna-
ton, or otherwise, by either of the board,
then the vacancy shall be hlled by the resi-
due of returning officers,

About Tea.

Tea is rapidly rising to an important
place in the list of English imports
from British India. Less than is, 900, 900
pounds Of Indian grown tea were i'm
ported in 1854, whereas in the year fol-
lowing the amount had increased to
%, ,OOO. 900, the value of which amounted
to $ll ,000, 900. The cultivation of tea
is rapidly increasing in Bengal; the
crop proving renumerative one. The
best laborers come from Nepaul, and
their relations with their relations with
their European employers are satisfac-
tory. The average yield of an acre in
the Darjeeling district, according to
the latest returns, was 325 pounds. The
tea plant was introduced into India
about forty years ago. The China va
riety Is the hardest, but has the draw
back Of slow growth and produces a
very small leaf. The Assam variety,
which is preferable in these respects,
requires more sheltered situation and
richer soil, the kind best adapted to the
locality being produced by cross be-
tween these two.

The other replied, 81 have not got

On tLis weIghty cause they went to
war. After they had exhausted their
armies and resources, and laid waste
their Kingdoms, they began to wish to
make peace; but before this could be
done il was necessary that the insult
ing language that led to the trouble
should be explained.
"What could you mean," asked the
second king of the first, "by saying,
Send ME a blue pig with black tail,
or else-'T
"Why," said the other. "I meant
blue pig with black tail. or else some
other color. But what could you mean
by saying, I have not got one and if
had-'fr
why of course, if I had l should
have sent it."
The explanation was satisfactory,
and peace was accordingly concluded.
The story of the two kings ought to
serve as lesson to us all. Most of the
quarrels between individuals are quite
as foolish as the war of the blue pig
with a black tail.

GOOD COOKERY. "Jennie June's"
chignon is level on the subject of good
and cheap cookery, when she says: If
had the time to be philanthropist, /
would go into the penny tract business,
and turn out millions on what to eat
and how to cook 1t. l would be the
apostle of oatmeal and soups. A pot
OF warm comforting oatmeal and q
pitcher of milk, would take the place of
the piece of bread and cold pork, or cup
of weak tea, which now does duty in so
many poor houses for that meal. If
poor people could once learn the value
of oat- meal, and how to extract all the
good from such meat and vegetables as
they can afford to buy, the knowledge
would be worth more to them than a
rise of wages or a reduction in the
hours of labor, and worth more to the
labor of the whole country, by improv-
ing its quality than any change which
politics could effect.
