A Republican Form of Government"

The New York Nation Ia Republican
paper) says, with commendable ardor;
I'VE think we shall,before long see the
public in full concurrence with Governor
Robinson. Of this state, that state which
has a returning board like that OF Loulsl-
ana does not possess Republican form Of
government" That is the gist OF the
whole Louisiana controversy. The Re-
publicans, who are splitting hairs with a
great show of fairness over.minor consti-
tutional points of technical interest, for
get that at the bottom of this whole un-
happy dispute lies the great fundamental
wrong that the government of the United
States does not guarantee to the state of
Louisiana Republican form of govern
ment, as the constitution requires. What
is the use of splitting hairs over the right
Of the president of the senate to cast the
vote, or the power of the two houses, or
the duties Of the tellers, while back of all
the machinery of counting the vote lies
the one appalling fact that the people of
a sovereign state have no means of saying
how their vote shall be cast2 The consti-
tuition of the United States makes every
possible provision for protecting the right
Of state to make its will heard in the
choice of president, but the trainers of
that instrument did not contemplate for a
moment such a condition of affairs as
exists in Louisiana The people of that
state elected McEnery, governor, and Kel
logg was counted in; they elected Nichols,
and counted Packard was counted in; they
cast their vote for Tilden, and it was coun-
ted for Hayes. Year alter year their
voice has been stihed, This is not a Re-
publican form of government; it is not
government at all. 1t is usurpation and
tyranny.
Do you think this language too sweep
ing2 Hear what the man says who
framed the law under which the Louisi-
ana returning board acts, Judge Hugh L..
Campbell. His view, impartially stated
by the Nation, is that "the ballots put in
the boxes are merely ballots until the re-
turns are made up by the board. In the
eye of the law the board is constructively
present at all the polls, receives all the
ballots, and purifes and asserts them, but
they do not become UoteS until the board
has passed upon them. In fact, the board
casts the vote of the states and properly
holds the state elections" Is this what
you call a Republican form OF govern
ment?

The May-Bennetu Duel.
Ernrn ~ Nelr YnrL Trihnna tqth

FROM he NeU YORK Tribune 19h.
The article protesting to give the truth
about the May Bennett duel. which appear
ed in the local columns of yesterdays Tri,
Gune. now proves to have been derived
exclusively from the warm partisans Of
MIR. Bennett-a fact which ought to have
been stated in the article itself. Every
substantial allegation in it is denied tpoint
blank by the Mays, and untruthfulness
has never been one of the vices of that
family. We print this morning a letter
from an.authoritative source, giving GER
tain facts concerning the duel, which we
have no doubt are accurately stated. Let
tiers from one of the seconds in the duel
have also been exhibited to us, which
make the following facts clear:--(D That
May, as the challenged party, having the
right to akchoice of weapons, chose cavalry
sabers; ~ That Benefits friends OBJ
jected, on the ground that this gave May
an advantage; ~ That Mays friends
yielded their choice, and assented to
dueling pistols; (4l That the distance was
twelve PAGES; (5) That no witnesses were
present, even the surgeons remaining at
distance, and the only persons on, or in
sight of, the dueling ground being the two
principals and their seconds; (6) That the
word was given thus Ready, fire, one,
two, three, stop" the parties not to move
their pistols from the perpendicular until
the word Fire" was pronounced, and
not to fire after the word Stop" was pro
nounced, and the seconds having the
right to shoot down either man who DISC
beyed this requirement; CD That Ben
nett and May fired almost simultaneously
at the word One" (Sl That neither was
touohed;(9) That Benefits friends then
professed themselves satisfied; and (IO)
that the parties straightway separated the
whole affair scarcely having occupied ten
minutes. These, We have reason to lbe-
lieve, are, 80 far as they go, the exact facts.

UPON THE coNsTITUTIoNALITY OF THE
BILL

BILL
he said:
The matter is one in which the powers
of congress and the methods by which
they should be executed are not definitely
prescribed. 1t may be compared to the
admission of states into the union. The
constitution confers upon congress the
power to admit new states, but does not
prescribe the methods in which it is to be
exercised. Hence, congress may act
through coordinate department of the
government, as was recently done 10 the
admission of state presidential procla-
nation,
Reporter-Yo do not regard congress
as abdicating its powers, then?
Mr.. Hendricks-Not at all. The power
of congress to count the vote and decide
upon on all questions that arise in the pro-
gress of count is exercised directly by
itself, and through the agency which it
creates, with final supervision and con
troll by an agreement ofboth houses.
Mr.. Hendricks had no. information as to
whether the bill would pass congress or
not, except what he gained from the news

YouNG FOLKS IN New YoRK.-Boys
and girls who live in tho country some
times tell OF the rare good times they have
in the fields, by the brook, in the barn
among the mounds of hay, and in the
woods. There are the lanes bordered with
berries, the orchard with pizes of dropped
apples under the trees, the spring viOlets
in the meadows, the nuts dropping down
in the woods. the glorious swims in the
pond in the Summer, the more glorious
skating in the Winter. All the poets and
story-telers have told and sung of these
things many times over, till the city boy
and girl have learned the story by heart.
Now, really, this isn't fur. Country
children do not have ai the sport in the
world. There is sure to be fun wherever
boysand girls live, even if it is Il city. New
York is not all paved streets, stone side
walks, and brick houses, and the children
who live there have their good times after
their own fashion. There are no big barns
and piles of hay berry bushes are not very
thick on the Fifth Avenue, and boys never
90 nutting on the sidewalks, but there are
wide and grassy Fairgrounds, donkeys to
ride, goat-carringes with fiery steedS, and
swans and boats and monkeys, lions and
bears and sheep-dogs, wooden horses that
speed around aud around as if they were
alive, and-and- there is no end to
the Jolly things in New York. 1t is very
good of the poets to sing about the sports
Of the country. They should come to town
and see how city boys and girls play, and
then they might sing Il new song of the
gay goat-carriage, the amiable wooden
horse, the lively owls in the deep, dark
cave, and the atfectionate donkeys that live
in Central Park. City children have also
their good times in their own fashion.
There is not much fun to be found in the
streets. but in the Park are sports without
end.-ChurlcS Barnard, 81. Nicholas for

JEWISH SETTLEMENT OF PALESTINE
We have Just met with an article in your
paper of April 26, writes Minister Deliass
to the New York Christian AdrOcate, on
the re-peopling of Palestine by the Jews,
which contains some statements that need
correcting; this one in particular, that
the population of Palestine is double what
it waJ ten years ago" If this refers to
the Jews, it may be true, but OF the entire
population it is not true. This country,
owing especially to the heavy drain upon
the able-bodied men to keep up the army,
is rapidly being depopuhted and impover-
ished. Deserted villages are everywhere
to be seen. There is less wealth among
the people, fewer camels, horses, and stock
of all kinds, than ten years ago. Fruit
and forest trees are also disappearing.
Carmel was almost stripped Of her timber
for the Suez Canal and us any trult-tree
is taxed, whether it bears or not, few are
now planted Everything here appears to
be finished; there is no progress, no I'M
provement Of any kind.
There are about thirty thousand Jews
in all Palestine. They are mostly from
Russia, and do not corle here to work ol
develop the country, but to die, that they
may sleep with their fathers in holy
ground. They are generally aged ano
poor living on the charity of their people
in Europe and America. 1t will require Il
different class of emigrants altogether tc
recover this cursed land, 1t is true there
are new houses going up outside the city

EARLY AUTUMN IN THE COUNTRY =
Nearly every one comes from the cOun-
try when they ought to be going 10 it. On
the farm in summer you see the heat ris-
ing from the hilsdes and the dusty roads,
and nature, dry and parched, is in her
working clothes and mood, but in the
sweet September days you see the glory of
the year. You, who have only beheld the
suburban show of autumn leaves, can form
little idea of the magnificent display of
color that will greet your eye on every
side if you are in the country in the an
tumn. The naples and oaks, the sumacs
and elms, are atlame, the roadsides and
fields are filled with brilliant ferns, till
YOU learn to imagine that Il golden sunset
has dyed the earth with IL later splendor,
land over all is spread the glory Of Il
dream" The sweet beauty Of such days
you will never forget, the peace and rest
they bring to the mind and body after II
year of care and toll And as you lie on
the grass, lazily looking at the distant
mountains bathed in the misty light pecu
liar to the autumn time, in Il silence un-
broken, save by the rustling leaves, the
falling apples, or the CHEEKY voice of the
good farmer us he comes home with heavy
loads of squashes and pumpkins, you say,
Well, this is life. Those poor city fell
lows, uncertain whether to wear Il scar
sucker or an overcoat, in their striving to
dodge the east wind and sun, those tramps
over the heated pavements, how | pity
them" And us the never-neglected sum
mons of the supper-bell is heard you rally
with promptness that, applied to month
" payments, would surprise your credit
ors. And such feast creamy biscuit
and honey, baked apples and cream,
doesn't it make your mouth water to think
of it while you are sitting ut your city
table? The early evening is chill and
sharp, but it gives you an added pleasure
to draw around the farmers cheerful fire
place. Can't you see the picture, oh,
country boy, settled now i'll your fine
house with all the modern conveniences!
Gandma in one corner, with her knitting,
the kitten playing with her ball of yarn,
the farmer buried in his paper, the mother

ing-bees not yet obsolete, thank heaven,
with their social joys and uproariou>
fun. How little they seem like the close

TALKING ABOUT BRAss.-When was
in business, said Major Whitlle, lady
came to me and said, My husband called
the other day to talk with you about reli-
gion
thought II moment, and remarked that
he came in II week before to sell me some
brass-two or three tons Of brass filings to
melt mp for castings.
That was only an excuse" said she.
" He came in to talk with you"
| remembered then that hp came in and
talked as much as twenty minutes about
that brass, without coming TO any point.
He wanted me to speak to him concerning
his souls salvation. made up my mind
after that, if any man came to me to talk
about brass or anything else would say
a word to him. and find out if he didn't
want to talk about his salvation. When
was under conviction myself | went to
the store of II man who was Christian,
hoping that he would say something to
me on the subject of religion. | hung
around that store two hours, waiting to
have him speak TO me, but he never said
Il word to me on the subject.
There are u good many persons in these
days who are talking about brass, and gold.
and silver; or railroads, and stocks, and
bonds; or fashions and folies and real es-
tate; but who beneath it all have deeper,
more solemn thoughts of God, of Christ,
Of truth, of salvation; they feel the hunger
of the prodigal in the flr-ol1 land. They
weep in secret places; and their hearts are
burdened with unutertble longings which
only Christ can satisfy. They faint for
the bread of life; they thirst for the living
waters, and they come into the presence
Of Christians, who know the grace of God,
shyIy, timidly, shameftcedly and hcsitat-
ingly, and begin TO talk about brass
When fisherman sees IL fish swimming
around in the vicinity of the hook, he be-
gins to take measures for his capture;
and with patient, skilfull, gentle endeavor
he very soon secures him. A great many
persons who are talking about JrGsS want
to talk about Christ. Win you, Christian
reader, see that your conversation touches
something better than brass, and that those
who come to you talking about brass, and
wood, and hay, and stubble, may hear
from you something about gold wel-tred
in the fire, something about the pearl of
greatest price?-We AImory

PETs.-I once knew an old man who
lived in a lonely spot near the woods, who
made pets of nearly every creature living
near him. lie would not allow them to
be Gagged. The squirrels would come at
his call to get the acorns and nuts he new
er forgot to stow away for them. The
birds knew where to look for crumbs he
always saved for them, Even the mice
were tame enough for one to eat from his
hand; and although they meddled with
his scanty provisions, not one OF them
would he harm.
One gray squirrel, that had been tanned
in cage and freed, built his nest year
after year in the tree shading his door;
apparently no mate could be persuaded to
share his nest with him, for although
SQUIRRELS of his kind were in the woods
near by, the nests never had any occupant
but himself, and were finally destroyed by
wind and storm. Yet Bunny seemed to
enjoy building them. 1t was pretty
sight to see the little creature running
with the leaves in his mouth with which
to make the nest, or springing from the
lower branches to his friends shoulder
sometimes pausing in bis play, or work,
to take the meat from nut or acorn, in
his def and graceful way.-H II. D. Z"

PAIN The PENALTY OF SUPERIORITY
The ideal perfect life that men imagine
is always one in which pain forms no part,
vet curiously, in all the life we know, pain
is forever the penalty paid for superiority.
The higher the organism in the scale OF
being, the greater its capacity for pain;
this is the universal rule. Mutilation,
such us an insect bears without apparent
inconvenience, will kill II reptile. A fish
or reptile disregards injuries that would
be quickly fatal to IL mammal through u
nervous shock. A savage laughs at
wounds that would rack the system OF II
civilized man with acutest agony. Thus
in every instance capacity for pain is the
measure of development. Evolution be-
inc attended by an ever-increasing COM
plexity and delicacy of nervous organlza-
tion, it is inevitable that increasing liabll-
ity to nervous arrangement must marx
every upward movement in the scale oil
being. Will the price of elevation ever
rise 50 high rs 10 put IN end to progress IN
this direction? There would certainly
seem 10 be u possibility of such a result,
when we consider the fate of those mos'
admirable persons who are, rs we say toe
finely strung for this rude world. The
acuteness and delicacy of their sensiblli-
ties make them at once The highest mora
and intellectual types oil humanity, an[
physically the most unfortunate Ano
they rarely or never leave behind them
vigorous family.--ScientWc american.
