The Criminal Law and POlifl.
cal Knavery.
Galveston News. |

1t is great pity that the con-
viction and sentence of Thomas G.
Anderson were preceded by any
circumstances calculated to sug-
gest the possibility of a parts
an incentive having had much to
do in the institution of criminal
proceedings against him on account
of returning board frauds. The
lesson OF punishment, by sentence
to hard labor in State penitenti-
ary, iaficted on such a culprit as
Anderson, would be far more effec-
tive as a warning and far more i'm
pressive as reinsurance, If it had
been clear and uhquestionable
from first to last that no influence
operated outside oil the criminal
law administered by faithful Of
licers of the law, and supported
by a public opinion solicitous only
to see condign Justice awarded
under the law. The lesson as it
stands, however, is signal one,
whose general purport is in
righteous direction. That the sight
OF snch u person as Anderson-a
presidential Warwick, a trusted
and valued agent in executing the
giant and decisive fraud in the
mighty game of parties in 1876
brought by the cluthes of the Lou
isiana criminal law to the door of
the penitentiary, is narrowing to
John Sherman and to others of his |
sert, can not be questioned. When
such men grieye, all who detest |
every kind of political knayery,
and who want to lift politics and
the administration OF fpubIic affairs
out of the mephitic atmosphere OF
return ing board merals, have ex-
celent reason to rejoice. We trust
that the people at large will recog-
nize in the fate of Anderson the
naked force of the criminal law
proceeding to it's perfect work in
the ;nfiction of penal iufamy and
penal disability upon criminals
whose devices, practiced with i'm
punity for the most part, have for
years been oyerlaying the whole
elective system of this country with

Congress and the Cotton Worm.
Galveston News.

The bill reported in Congress on
the 10th ult., by Mr.. Steele, of
North Carolina, to inquire into the
origin, habits and best means of
destroying the cotton army-worm,
provides for the appointment of
commission as soon as practicable,
to consist of three persons skilled
in the natural sciences pertaining
to agriculture, to be selected from
the States of Alabama, Louisiana
and Texas, who are required by
the terms of the bill to make such
practical and scientific experiments
AS may be necessary to carry into
effect the objects Of the act. The
bill asks for an appropriation of
ten thousand dollars toward this
purpose, the members of this COM
mission to receive an annual COM
pensatlon not to exceed fifteen
hundred dollars each for their SER
vices. That the government should
seek to check the ravages of this
cotton pest by every means ut its
command is no more than the inn
portance of the cotton interest de-
serves. The crop of Texas last
year was cut short at least $4,000
bales by the various animal para
sites to which the plant is subject
ed. An injury of this extent to the
agricultural interests OF the coun-
try needs attention at the hands
of the government, but we fear
that the appointment of scien-
tific commission to look after the
subject will result in no practical
good. Such body would doubt
less stick to the task assigned it
until the last red cent appropriated
had disappeared. If the army worm
had not, and then, as in the case
Of the grass-hopper scientists,
would probably put in an appear
ance for more. But beyond dis
cursive contributions to the liter
ature of the patent Office, it is
much to be apprehended that there
would be no immediate results.
Better take ten thousand dollars
and offer it as consideration for
any one who will discover q per-
nanent remedy against cotton
worm ravages. This would set the
whole country to work, scientific
md unscientific, and would be apt
o secure the end desired if any
hing could. Ten thousand dol
ars is enough to stimulate any
mount OF individual research, the

Until success had been achieved,

FREEBOOTER CRITICISM.

The Post-erior which affects to speak for
the Democratic party, and which, If it does,
only shows the degencracy Of that party,
casts a bucket of its nastiness ut Senator
CoNKLING and his matchicss speech at
Saratoga. If it intended its effort rs Il cTiti-
csm, it is an abortion, for il is simply Il
tissue of tergiyersatiOn, mendHcity, billings
gate, aud traductiOn, and reminds one Of
COLTON's characterization of bad criticism,
than which, like bad champagne, nothing is
more cxecrable. This effort of the PO.i-crior
is meagre muddy, yapid, aud sour-ilt only
to cngender collie and wind and offend
the refined sensbiltics of friend or foe who
are not lost to every sense Of deccncy and
propriety. The assault on Senator CoNT-
LING by the Post-crior is no criticism of his
speech, hut an cbullition Of petty spite, Bit
ter malice, illy-selectrd epithet, and undig-
niiicd abuse, mixed with Unliluted billings

WHAT Is DUE TO THE SOUTH.

When Southern Republicans complain to
thcir Northern political friends that there is
no chance in the South for free and fair
election, on account of the violence exer-
cised by the Democrats toward them, IN Or
der TO iutmidate and prevent them
either from voting or compelling them to
vote the Democratic ticket, the question is
asked what can he done 70 prevent this
state Of things? The Northern Republicans
say General GRANT used the army to pro-
tcct the Southern Republicans in their cleo
tive franchise, but il failed; that President
HAYES has resorted to cOucilintioa TO avoid
this state of things, and has even obtained
from the leaders Of the Democratic party in
Louisiana solemn pledges, ratified by rcso-
lutions Of the NICHOLS Legislature, and
has given important appointments TO Demo-
Gratis in the southern States toward that
end. lut that this las failed So the qucs-
ton rccurs, what can be done in those
States to secure a flee and fair election?
1t seems 10 MS the only ciicctual remedy
for this universally ell WRONG has been
strangely overlooked By the Government
that the only remedy that ought ever to
have been thought Of to accomplish that
end has been ,tIdOusly avoided or over
looked 1t is very simple, and the oniy
thing that is thought Of elsewhere to cor
rect evils or disorders in the country. 1t is
