Especial Telegram to the N. O. Times
WASHINGTON July 1, 1877.

WASHINGTON July 1, 1877.
At the cabinet meeting yesterday a
letter from Madison Wells, asking
the president to interfere in the mat
ter of his indictment, was read and
the conclusion reached that the gem
cral government was powcrlcss in the
premises. The diff of opinion ex-
pressed by the cabinet was to the ef-
feet that Gov. Nichols doubtless re-
allied that these indictments were
contrary to the spirit of the agree
ment by which matters were a1jndi-
Gated in Louisiana, and that he wonld
bring about an abandonment of the
prosecution.
Prominent cabinet ministers said
to day that tho much talked of an
nrxation of the northern States Of
Mexico has never yet been mentioned
i'll the cabinet
The New Orleans Times, from which
the above extract is taken intimated
in a previous number that Governor
Nichols had said that he was opposed
to tho prosecution of tho returning
board people under the law. We do
not helievc-nay, We feel assured
the Governor is man of entirely too
much sense to entertain, much less
utter any opposition to the enforce
mcnt oflaw.
Mr.. Hayes and his cabinet know
full we'll, if they do not we do, that
this very question of absolving from
consequence Mat Well and Tom An
dcrson was discussed and rejected il
the agreement which relieved us o
Packard. In fact it was forcibl!
stated that these thieves and scoun
drels who have for years past pccn
/ lated and plnudered our propcrt,
and rights, shonId he amenable t
> the law, where they had violated il
for their conduct.
Governor Nichols has nothing t
do with the matter-it is questio
purely for the courts to determine
branch of tho government of on
State owing no allegiance to c'-ordiu
+ ate with, and as high az the Governor
J We are sorry to see leading journa
talking glibly of Governor this, an
|, President that, interfering with I'll
process of our courts. 1t smaks Ell
Q tirely too much of Grantism and Kc
logsism.
! The people of this section, and "
doubt not they express the averae
n feeling throughout the State, are Dc
terminedly anxious that all polite
malefactors should be punished f
violations of law, and more partic'
j. la,ly arc they solicitous that NJ
Wells and Tom Anderson shonld fe
{ the utmost rigors of the law for the
# Outrageous disregard of our rights, al
n the Infamous violation of the We
d" principles of our liberty-the sacre
" ness of the ballot box.
" If we do not punish these fellow
l. then all hope of purifying our Sta
civil service is at an end. Men C.
commit crime in Office with pcrft
impnnity. Our people insist on t
punishment Of all these fellows and
they are condoned BY any person
our party, woe he unto him.

APPLE EATING.

In a charming little book entitled
"Winter Sunshine" is the following
''extract of apple"
"Not little of the sunshine of our
northern winters is surely wrapped up
in the apple How is life sweetened by
its aroma. 1t is a natural antidote of
the many ills that flesh is heir to. Full
of mild acids, what an enemy it is to
jaundice, indigestion, torpidity of the
liver, &c. 1t is gentle spur and tonic
to the whole hillary system. A dish of
apples on the centre table in the winter,
supplies the place of vase of flowers in
IN the summer-a bouquet of Spitzen-
bergs, Greetings and Northern Spies.
"The boy is indeed the true apple
eater, and is not to be questioned as to
how he came by the fruit with which his
pockets are filled Whether he be full
of meat or empty of meat, he wants ap-
pie all the same. He goes to the great
bin in the cellar, and sinks his shafts
here and there in the garnered wealth of
the orchard, mining his favorites, some
times coming plump upon them, or
catching a glimpse of them as he turns
the heaps from right to left
"When you are ashamed to be seen
eating them in the streets; when your
neighbor has apples and you have none,
and you make no nocturnal visit to an
orchard; then be assured you are no
longer boy either in heart or years.
| sympathize with that clergyman who,
in pulling out his handkerchief in the
midst of his discourse, pulled out two
bouncing apples with it, that went roll
ing across the pulpit floor and down the
pulpit stairs. These apples were, no
doubt, to be eaten on his way home, or
to his next appointment. They would
take the taste of the sermon out of his
mouth.
SIN planting homestead what help
it is to have few old maternal apple
trees near by-regular old grandmoth-
ers, who have blossomed and borne fruit
till the very air about them is sweeter
than elsewhere, and who have nourished
robins and wrenS in their branches till
they have a tender, brooding look
There is crop of sweet "reminiscences,
dating from childhood, and spanning
the season from May to October.

ANTI-SLANG PHRASES.

The Reform Club is the title of "a new
organization in one of our towns, organ
lied by young ladies for the purpose of
discouraging the use of ''slang phrases"
in conversation. At a recent meeting,
while member was addressing the Socie-
ty, she inadvertently made use of the ex-
preston "awful nice, and was called
to order for transgressing the rules.
''In what way have l transgressed ?"
asked the speaker, blushing deeply.
"You said it would be awful nice to
admit young gentleman to our delibera-
tions" replied the other.
"Well, wouldn't it be ?" returned
the speaker ouknow you said your
selfno longer ago than yesterday that"
eyes, l know but you said lawful
nice. That's slang"
"Well," said the speaker, tartly, eff
you are going to be so awful nice about
it, perhaps it is; but l wouldn't say
anything if l were you. Didn't you
tell Salle Spriggins, this morning, to
pull down her basque ? y
"No, l didn't" retorted the other,
her face growing crimson; "and Sallie
Spriggins will say didn't. She won't
go back on me-
"ThiS is nice racket you are giving
us, cried the president, after rapping
both speakers to order. ''Let us ask
what is the object of this society?"
"To discourage slang" cried adozen
voices
Correct, said the president, ego on
with the funeral"
A member arose to explain that she
had been fined at the last meeting for
saying lawful nice" herself, but she
hadn't the stamps to pay it now-but
would settle, however, in the sweet by
and-by,
"That'll be all right" said the presi-
dent "pay when you have the ducats. :"
Another member asked ifa young lady
could say, "old Splendid without sub
