Editor Rerieqc:
The weather, after storming last week. has finally

The newspaper correspondents are all out
spoken in characterizing as it deserves the
long and almost intolerable series of wrongs
which Speaker Egan imposed upon the Re-
publican minority in our late Legislature
The correspondent of the Patterson Press has
the following, and it is fair specimen of the
way in which they all talk:
No man perhaps ever occupied the Speak
er's chair who has made himself SO unpopular
as John Egan. He is not altogether to blame,
for be can't help it. His make up Is that of
avarice, vanity, and trickery IL not treaehery
His political life has been maiodorous. His
private room from the opening of the session
to the present time has been headquarters
for the harpies of the lobby, and has reeked
with tho fumes of liquor and tobacco. His
personal bearing has been tyrannical and Of
fensive. His rulings have been unfair, and,
at times simply outrageous. Losing control
of the House early in the session, he has stood
before his colleagues and ranted and scolded
like fsh-woman.

The following is from the Richmond DIS.
patch, an able Democratic paper and one OF
the strongest supporters of Tilden during the
Presidential campaign. The Democratic pa
pers hereabouts might perhaps come to the
same conclusion if their editorials were not
furnished by the New York Sun,
MONTGOMERY BLAIR's LAST HOPE. One
OF the most absurd things in politics which
we have known in our long experience is the
attempt made by Mr.. Montgomery Blair, of
Maryland, to unseat President Hayes and put
Mr.. Tilden into his place. We said truly some
time since that George Washington had not
clearer title 10 the presidential chair than
President Hayes. His title was indeed ques.
toned, but it was adjudicated by the Eeotor-
al Commission, tribunal almost equal in
dignity to the Supreme Court, and passed up
on and affirmed by both houses of Congress.
Mr.. Blair attempts indeed hopeless thing
when he seeks toget some State &c. appear as
complainant against Hayes 1t has been as
serted that State can have no standing as
complainant in such a case, and that only the
claimant to the seat could be allowed to bring
his claim before the court but the right of
Hayes is too clear to permit feven a respect
full consideration of such an application as
that conceived by Blair,
1t is surprising that the Legislature of Mary
in which Mr.. Blair is foundering. We sus-
pect it was rather a joke, which the Maryland
alligators thought would be some relief to
the tedium of the duh process of elaboration
at Annapolis, whose proximity to Baltimore
and to Washington makes life and legislation
at the Maryland capital the dullest of all dull
things They must have fallen into humor
resembling that of the youth of the big cities,
who are registering and rollckng over the APP
pearance of George Jones as a sort of relief
from the stupor of the most spiritless drama
tic season that we remember. If those leg
islators sought for little joke, they had it,
They have completed and handed it over to
Mr.. Blair and now, in the name of Bulwer's
novel g what will he do with it P''
Mr.. Blair's project is absolutely hopeless
1t is one that takes notorious place in his
tory, and although it has no earthly chance
of making any money for anybody, it rivals
the Jennings-estate" exploit in its hopeless
ness. Mr. Blair elevates himself to title to
place in the society of the claimants of the
" Jennings estate,' and history will associate
the two delusons as amongst the most re-
markabls tlrat have ever takou possession of
the human mind.

THE METRIC SYsTEM.-The bill (which pro-
vides for the introduction of the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures throughout the
State of New Jersey, has passed both houses
of the Legislature, and only awaits the sigma
ture of the Governor to make it a law. AS
soon as that shall have been done, Supern-
tendent Apgar intends to begin Immediately
to introduce the system in the public schools,
by the use of the most simple instruments
that it is possible to procure.
This system is not intended to snpplant the
old tables, but the object of itsintrodnction is
to have it thoroughly familiarized, so that
when it becomes national system the revolu-
ton will not be confusing.
When we pass the city schools in Summer,
when the windows arc open, instead of the
dolorous "tw-i-ess one are tw-oo,n " tw-iess
two are FOUR" we expect to hear the metres
and grammes of the handy decimals.

contemporary notes that it is just getting
through the wool of the average Republican
that the decision of the Louisiana Supreme
Court in the ease of Anderson, pronounced
that Tilden had 5000 majority over Hayes
For the COMMISSIONS returns gave that re-
suit the electoral vote for Hayes was not
based OH those returns, but on the consolidate
ed returns, which the court decided were not
legal documents, for forging which Anderson
could not therefore be held. Now suppose
the Electoral Commission had looked back of
the Governors certificate to see upon what
the returns we've founded 1t would have
found that they were based upon the CONSOLE
dated returns which the Supreme Court de-
cded possessed no legal validity in the deter
mination of the election And it would also
have found that the returns upon which the
certificate should have been based showed
large majority for Tilden. -Democratic pa
per.
And if the Commission had looked little
further back they would have found that in
parishes in which there had previously been
several hundred Republican majority, there
were but three or four Republican votes poll
cd. They would have found that Republican
voters were intimidated by shot gun and
pistol, and by every other foul and villainous
HttuS. hny ueccut beinoClab ou3ho w piuoii
when he talks of " Returning Board frauds"
Frauds why the parish returns that gave
Tilden majority in most cases we're reeking
with frauds. If the Returning Board did in-
correctly alter returns (Which we by no means
acknowledged it was only !" fighting the devil
with fire. A fair and honest election in
Louisiana would have given that State to
Hayes by several thousand majority.

Value Of Second Crops.

Market gardeners make 1T "A
point to obtain two crops each year
from a large part of their land.
Early potatoes, peas, and some
other early crops, are taken off a.
soon as they are salable and the
land is sowcd to turnips and other
late crops. To some extent the
farmer night p%rofitably follow
their example. He can grow =
supply of turnips, ruta ba9as, and
late cabbages for his stock on the
land which has furnished him with
peas and potatoes. The value Of
these crops for feeding purposes Il
considerable while the labor of
growing them Is very slight. The
land from which two crops are
taken should be quite rich n else
should receive a special application

and prevent dcritoratlon OF the

also tends to keep the land FIRE"
from weeds. When no other crop
