Henry v.

Shakespeare's beautiful historical play
of Henry "" is now in great demand
as reading matter, on account of its pur.
posed production in Wilmington on the
18th instant, by Rignold, whose great
Speciality it is. The wooing scene be.
tween King Henry and the French Prin.
cess is the most fascinating and strongest
love scene on the stage, as given by Rig.
mold. She who takes the part OF the
princess is a beautiful French lady, and
her broken English and artless bearing,
and pretty tantalizing ways with her
blum, handsome wooer win his and
everybody else's heart.
New improvement.

Contested Election Cases in the
House.

At the beginning of the present Con-
gress thers were seventeen contested cleo
ton cases TO be decided in the House. or
these four have been decided, and in ev-
cry case the decision has been in favor oil
the democratic claimant. The democratic
majority seems to take it for granted that
its chief business in all such contests is to
Increase the number of democrats In the
House. A republic claimant of seat
has no rights that the majority feel in the
least degree bound to respect. His case
may be strong in legal point OF view,
but his politics being opposed to the dom
inant party in the House. his plea for JUS
tice avails him nothing. All that his COM
petitor has to do is to present his creden-
tials as democrat, and forthwith he is in
vited to walk in and take possession OF the
coveted seat.
If the democrats continue in the course
they have begun in relation to these con-
tested seats, they will more than double
their majority before the session closes, but
at the same they will have made record
of partizan injustice SO outrageous, glar-
ing and indefensible, that Il will react up
on them in the coming elections. In the
last case decided, that of Dean VS.. Field,
there were nine democrats in the House
who refused to follow the party leaders
and voted in favor of Field. Mr.. Potter
Of New York, leading democrat, in a
speech upon the same case expressed his
opposition to the course of his democratic
colleagues in these significant words
"Iserved 10 three republican Congresses
/ saw the great abuses perpetrated in cleo
ton cases by the votes of gentlemen on the
other side abuses that made my boil then,
and that still excite my indignation when
think of them. But do not propose TO
get even with the republicans by doing
Injustice in election cases in our turn now :;
OF TO do anything else in these cases than
believe to be exact Justice"
Mr.. Potter's protest did not prevent the
eusting OF Field, and will not hinder far
their contemplated proceedings OF a SINH
lar kind by the democratic majority. The
leaders are bound to make their majority
large enough for any contingency, and OF
such material as will follow them without
asking troublesome questions, and the hall
dozen honest democrats ia the House can
not prevent them. But what contrast
there is between such extreme, inexcusa-
BILE partisan ship as this, and the "no par
ty," "reform," "independent'' sentiments
which the democratic press, speakers and
leaders have been lavishing upon the pub
lie for several years past

In lifetime of labor. 1t is easy for them
to keep alive the hopes OF neighbors whose
losses were smaller. or in part or wholly
ina ginary. and ii has come TO pass that q
large proportion OF the citizens OF the
South. including nearly all the men Of
local influence, consider that they have a
perfectly valid claim against the United
States. Under Republican Administra-
ton they expect not n cent. Under
Democratic Administration, these claim
ants will make it too hot for any Demo
cratic member of Congress who refuses
to support such a bill AS that of Mr.. ii.
G. Riddle, for example. Mr. Riddle OF
the Fourth District of Tennessee, early
10 1876. offered bill providing:
That the Secretary Of War be and he Is here
by authorized to allow reasonable compensation
to all citizens Of the United States for the use or
occupation of their property by the United States
Army, or any part thereof, during the late civil
War in the same manner and under the same
regulations as compensation IS now allowed Tor
quarter master stores used by said Army. Pro-
vided, however, that the affidavit of the claimant,
supported by the competent testimony of any
reputable citlZen shall be sufficient proof to es-
tsbish the fact of the use aud occupation of such
property by said Army.
1t was said that this bill would enable
somebody TO get pay for every bushel of
potatoes eaten, or said to have been eaten,
by Sherman's army in its march to the sea,
and for every tree cut, fence rail burned,
or acre OF ground disturbed by Grants
army in Virginia. The amount Of claims
payable under this bill alone, by Il favor
ing Secretary OF War, would probably be
the amount of the present National debt.
But Mr.. Ii. G. Riddle made his cam
paign openly ON this demand, and was
elected again by SAP majority, his OPP
ponent getting only 3,545 votes. This
measure, though Mr.. Riddle is in Congress
now. is not vigorously pushed at present.
Does not every one know whyP To
press it now would only subject it to de-
feat, and would lessen the chances of
Northern Democrats for reelection. No
Secretary of War that President Hayes is
likely to appoint would serve Mr.. Riddles
purpose. But the $4,000 people who
voted for him expect he will make good
his pledges to press his demand, when
ever a favering Secretary OF War can be
obtained.
This is but sample OF class Of meas
ures which are now carefully kept under
matches. Far more dangerous than any
that are offered and pushed at present,
these will come to the front also whenever
there is a chance Of their success. The
Solid South only asks for about $500, 000.-
900 now; let the Democratic party have
control OF the Government, and its Rid
dies will soon teach the country what
they want.

An Estimate as to the Grain Crop.

The statistician Of the Agricultural Department
has completed his estimate of the condition and
prospects Of the crops for the next season. The
reports from 700 correspondents of the department
show that the area under cultivation for cereals,
which has increased SO per cent during the past
ten years, will during the present season, exceed
in acreage any FORMER year. The winter wheat
crop, which amounts TO sm-tenths of the cereal
crop, will, from present appearances and with a
favorable season, yield 800 900 900 bushels. The
yield, ii is thought will yield, not less than
800, 0OO, 600 bushels.
