The Blaine Resolution.

The resolution has passed the Senate,
only six democrats voting against it, We
are sorry that this small handful had not
the good sense to give d silent vote, and
that some of them thought it necessary
10 make speeches on the subject. For
tunately the spe. ches were not of suffi-
oient mark or interest TO do much harm,
The majority Of the democratic Senators
judged wisely that it is better to let this
investigation take it's course, and not to
waste the time Of the Senate in debate
which would merely have ob~tructed
business of real Importance The coun-
try is heartily tired and sick of the ever
lasting Southern question, and further
agitation will only deepen the general
disgust at politicians who are wiling to
subordinate great interests to their am
bit'ous hopes. We are passing into a new
era, when questions relating to the ma
terra interests of the country will be the
hinges OF politics. Mr. Blaine is attempt
ing tC ride a dead horse, and it is prepos-
teriOus to consume valuable time in at
tempting to prevent him. He will dis
cover his mistake, and before he gets
through with thus experim, NJ he will re.
greet IL. As no eg.slation can possibly r, =
suit from his investigation it is wise to let
him alone TO discover his folly and ant
of foresight-N. Y. Heraid.

Senator Wallacc's Remarks ON
Blaime's senate Secret
Com nl ttec.

Mr.. Wallace said he would have array
ed the Democrats of the Senate solid
against this resolution, If he could, for it
could bring no results and the people
were sick of sectional and political agi-
tation. The Thirteenth Amendment to
the Constitution has been construed by
the Supreme Court and the remedy these
resolutions proposed could not lawfully
be applied. No good could come from
agitation. The remedy for these alleged
troubles IN the South was by contest for
seats in the other House of Congress.
II all these statements of fraud in the
South be true, IL was very strange that
ont OF LOG members from that section
holding seats in the other House OF Con-
gaess, less than SIX had been contested.
Why raise this Investigating committee?
The practical sense of our business peo-
agitation. The Democrats proposed to
obey the constitutional amendments to
the letter, to educate and elevate the
black, and gently test his capacity for
citizenship. The Republicans proposed
10 take from him representation on, and de-
grade him. 1t was not true as charged
by the Senator from Maine, that thirty
five members had been gwen To the
South since the war by reason of the
negro vote. The act of 1872 only added
twenty. They had misrepresentation for
three-fifths of the colored vote before.
The figures given by the Senator from
Maine were based upon population and
not upon voters, and the same irregulari-
ty that he (Blaine) pointed out in the
South existed in the North.

THE NEED OF LEGISLATION is again
referred TO by the Deldtcdredn. We agree
with it in the main. 1t is no doubt a
fact that small dealers are too heavily
taxed. We hope to see the tax removed
entirely. If any secure mode can be
adopted for collecting the tax more cheap
ly, let it be done. AT present collectors
are required Gin our city especially to
give excessive bonds, and hence poor
man can hardly hope to be a collector,
for he cannot get the appointment until
his bondsmen are offered. These bonds
interfere with real estate transfers, and
are therefore difficult to procure. The
Deld,oarean says:
"We again call attention to some legis-
lation of a general charac which ought
to be had az the next session. /. The
collection of taxes is too costly. Some
plan should be devised to correct this
2. The license system should be revised,
and some changes made therein. Some
occupation, now requiring license, should
be relieved OF that tax entirely, and the
license reduced on others. We have not
time at present to specify, but are sure,
if attention can be given to the subject,
some errors will be corrected in this re-
gard. Persons peddling oysters, and
small dealers in other things, might be
relieved without much loss to the reve-
nues of the State. We simply, however,
call attention to the subject without in
tending TO do more at present"

sively of white men, giving the negro
prisoners no right TO representation of
their own color, so also negro sheriff
may summon juries composed exclusive
" of negroes, giving the white man no
redress. II not why not ?"
Virginia should by statute provide that
none who cannot read and who are not
possessed of properly qualification
should serve on juries. 1t is necessary
for the public good that the ignorant and
disinterested in the State and thriftless
should not sit in judgment upon the
rights and titles of others.

BLAINE's REsoLUTIoH.-The Phila-
delphia Press, of to-day, favors the Sc
cret meetings of Mr.. Blaine's committee.
1t says:
MIR. BLAINE resists the resolution
offered by Mr. Bayard, insrructing the
special committee intrusted with the du'y
of investigating the elections in South
Carolina, to examine the witnesses in
public, simply because he desires TO save
the negroes who are summoned to testify
from insult and outrage. 1t will be a
very difficult matter to get the whole
truth out of q timid negro while a crowd
of bull-dozers are glaring at him from
outside Of the slender railing which, for
the time being, shields him from their
vengeance. Mr.. Blaine has a right to
presume that men who will whip and
murder negroes to prevent them from
voting, will not hesitate to use whatever
intimidation and violence NAV be neces-
Sarv to keep them from publishing their
wrongs TO the world.
Now, that the negro no longer serves
tesustain the Republican party and keep
it III power by the help of the sword and
bayonet, he dwindles down to very
ordinary mortal. A few years ago, when

male and female, were seeming the air
for the blood of Southern Democrats.
the negro was held up as the "coming
man. A white man was, il the listener
believed their lies, and their cruel, heart
less and sometimes disgusting language,
beneath even the half-barharous negro.
All this is now passed, and the negro. as
it appears from the quotation of the
Press, is the most insignificant man OF
the day. He does not even dare to tell
the truth on his oath, although enjoyinp
the freedom and rights of citizen pro.
tected by laws passed especially for his
benefit, and by which the whites were
despoiled of the fruits of their labo,
through the clothing Of the negro will
suffrage. For there is no longer any
doubt that the bestowment of franchise
upon the negro and depriving the white
man OF it, aud the continuance of thi.
state by the use of arms, was the cause
OF the destruction of hundreds of mil
lions Of values in land in the South AN,
all the country over.
Now, We hope never Il see the ueproe
or any other people in slavery. But i
is but just that the people who rushe,
this nation headlong into war for th,
freedom of the negro, should be told @
their errors; of their absurd folly i,
subjecting their own children TO the har,
necessity that now follows, to be take,
and degraded to pay debt they had II,
agency i'll contracting, and the half o
which was put upon them by the thieve
OF the war party.
What is report worth that is mad

OF negroes by committee which take

upon the whites that such a thing shoul
be permitted. The report Of this CON

the old abolition enmities of Enron

produces the nest is called the Salanganr

birds may be seen in swsrms dartirg hithe'

the wealthy Chinese are so foud of? IL is

thing like isipglass. IL was formtly sup

prepared by the bird from seaweed aud
other narine plants. This however,is a
mistake. DIR. Berntein has found that the
glands under the tongue of the birds are of

seen as lasge swellings one on either side

making the brackels. The bird secre es in
