party had plurality. Whether one
result or the other shall come to pass,
will depend mainly upon the degree
of vigor and fidelity with which the
Republican party performs its duty.
AS matters now stand the Republican
party is in a minority in Maine, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois and
Wisconsin, and has but slender and
insignificant majority in Iowa over
the Democratic and Greenback vote
combined.
''Taking those votes in each State
which appear to indicate most cor
rectly the division Of parties, we find
that 3.173 900 votes in the nine States
named were divided as follows:--Re-
publican, 1.475 900; Democratic, L.
PAT 200; Observation-Disclosures, 45l 900.
But the Greenback-Labor vote is
really a little larger, because all the
votes cast for Smith, of New Jersey,
and Wright, Of Pennsylvania, ARE here
counted as Democratic votes. More
than Is per cent of the whole vote
cast was for the Greenback-L Labor
candidates. The Democratic and
Decentralization vote together ex.
ceeds the Republican vote in each of
the States, and by 224,O0O in the ag

the vagabonds who brought us thestrange and
shameful evangel OF carpet-baggery. It is not
an expression of the free and honest will of
the people, but the edict of military satrap,
thrust upon us against our will, and not even
by our participation. Let us wipe it out for
the sake OF honor and manhood. Let this
question be made the test in every nomina-
ton for the Legislature, and let only those be
placed on the ticket who are pledged to the
calling OF a constitutional convention. The
Baton Rouge convention may think it mex
pedient to submit the question directly to
the people, but let this circumstance have no
weight Whatever the action of that conven-
ton may be, let the people determine the
question for themselves and select as their
representatives In the next Legislature men
who will carry out their views.

The report Of the grasshopper commission,
appointed some months ago to study the
Western locusts, alias grasshoppers, and re-
port some means of Kidding the country of
them, Is not very flattering and promising.
A number OF means are recommended bv the
committee for destroying these pests such as
narrowing, blowing, drowning, burning and
trapping; but these, the commission con-
fesses, will only have the effect of slightly
mitigating the damage done, and will not
prevent visits from the grasshoppers in
future. The only way in which the locust
pest can be effectually and permanently
stopped Is by carrying the war into Africa.
The permanent home" Of the grasshopper is
beyond the limit of arabic land, and they
only leave this permanent home in conse-
quence OF over-population. Swarms thus
crowded out may produce second genera
ton, but these always die out from parasites,
disease or human agencies. To destroy the
grasshoppers, therefore, it is only necessary
to attack them in their permanent homes, de-
stroy them there and they will never attack
the crops Of the Western farmers
1t is to be hoped that this commission when
1t takes up the question Of cotton worms and
caterpiilars, as it has been authorized to do
will present some more satisfactory solution
and discover some certain, practical and
cheap way OF getting rid of this insect nui-
sance now and forever.
