A MICHIGAN bee-raiser has written a
book about the blessed Bees" who
have brought him q fair fortune. But
for his statistics one would have some
difficulty in believing him. He went
into the business as other men go into
merchandise or any other pursuit; he
gave his whole time and thought to it,
and SO superior was his honey that he
could obtain the highest market price
in New York. He is young man, and
urges this branch of industry upon
others with great warmth. The sum
total of the capital invested was $3.50. 81 /;
his income, exclusive of all expense, was
q, 1862.
The I" Bold Mickey Free" the noted
pedestrian who recently died in Jersey
City, was an eccentric character. His
private residence was constructed on
wheels, and was drawn from one unoc-
cupied lot to another as taste or con.
venience ohaneed to suggest. His real
name was Robert Harriott. He was q
Republican, and when Lincoln passed
through Jersey City on his way to the
inauguration, he astonished the "ugli-
est man in the United States" by ex-
claiming, a. he held out his hand, "Oh,
my purity boy. Put it there. I'm the
bould Mickey Free. May our shadows
never be less, God bless u.s." Mickey
was on the winning side in the late war,
and, according to his own wish, was
buried with the stars and stripes wrap
ped around him.

mandate against the abridgment of the
| rights of citizenship and the full exercise of
the elective franchise, the state Legislature
avails itself Of the insidious method provided
IN the Constitution for its amendment, to
engraft provision upon that instrument
which substantially nullifies the fundamen-
tai law of the nation. While the State Con-
stitution expressly dedicates certain reve-
nues to the support of the public schools,
we find the entrusted agents of the State
diverting that fund to another purpose, and
robbing the schools OF their legal and right
ful support.
THESE shameless wrongs are perpetrated
without blush or scruple, and the men
who apologize for and justify them are in
| the meantime clamoring about the inviola-
| bility of contracts, and the paramount obi
CATION of the public debt, representing, in
its present shape, profligacy and impurity
which should invoke the condemnation of
every just man. Where could be found a
more solemn contract than that embraced
in the enabling act Of Congress, under whose
provisions Virginia was admitted to repre-
sentation in Congress; the Constitution of
the United States, which prescribes and
guards the elective franchise, and the Con-
stitution Of the State, which commands
permanent and perpetual provision for
the full and complete establishment of the
Free School?
These, however, are all to be disregarded
and tramped under foot that the Funding
bill, conceived in corruption and born in
iniquity, should stand out as the supreme
law Of the Comm0nwealth-ovc Con-
stitution, and courts and people.

The Grand Master read his journal, which
was interesting to the membership, and was
listened to with much attention. The sub
jects mentioned were handed to different
committees to be reported on during the
session. The Grand Master, in his journal
has the following:
''Our order wages war upon vice, but not
upon the vicious. 1t stretches out broth
er's hand to men in every sphere in life and
draws them towards each other, and finally
uniting them in one common brotherhood,
teaches that to aid our fellow-man is to serve
God. The triumphs of our order are not
married by the groans of its victims, sacri-
iced to slake the ambitious thirst of mon
arch or warrior.

Democratic Craftsmanship.

The Democrats have been unfortunate in
their oor-keepers to the present House OF
Representatives. At the commencement OF
the present session Fitzhugh, Of Texas, was
elected, but he in a very short time con-
cluded that he was ''bigger man than old
Grant," and that Congressman were mere
satellites Pickering around his central sun. He
was consequently asked to take back seat,
and Mr.. Polk, of Missouri, was selected as his
successor. This gentleman, yielding to the
urgent opportunities OF Democratic Con-
gressmen for positions for constituents,
went beyond the law, and had enrolled a
large number Of employees over that al
lowed. Some disappointed applicant, find
ing that he could not secure wha. he want
ed, commenced an assault upon the Door
keeper. Finally, Congress had to take the
matter in hand, with the result of the dis
missal of Polk. AS the expression goes, he
was more ''sinned against than SHINING"
Congressman themselves were more to
blame than the Doorkeeper, but this could
not be acknowledged, and Polk had to SUI
fer.
General Field, of Georgia, Confede-
rate soldier, and late of the Khedive's army,
has been selected to fill the vacancy. Il is
thought he will make good officer, but in a
political sense the chaLge is unfortunate.
General Butler had proposed the name OF
General Shields, the hero of two wars, but
the caucus favored the claim Of Field, giving
the Republicans very decided advantage,
SO far as popular sentiment is concerned
North and West. 1t will be handled with
effect in the fall elections, and cause many
a Union soldier to repudiate the Democratic
party in the Congressional elections.
AS ''reform" party the Democracy has
made poor Roadway since the nomination of
Tilden. That truly moral man was recent.
ly arraigned for Withholding large amount
OF income tax from the government, and the
court has ruled against him, the result Of
which will be that he will have to pay about
$l3s, 900 Of taxes illegally withheld. The diff
culties about the Doorkeeper following so
soon after the admission to powerin Congress
Of. that psrty, does not look very much like
eminent success in the s'reform' line. II
the Democracy have found 80 much Difficult
ty in procuring the right kind of man for
doorkeeper, the inference is reasonable that
the business of running the entire govern
ment properly would be entirely beyond its
capacity.
The present Congress has made bad
record for an active campaign this fall and
we would not be surprised if the result Of
the October and November elections did not
reverse the majority in that body, and give
the next Congress to the Republicans.
On Monday, after hot debate the House
elected Gen1 Field by strict party vote.
After which Gen'l Shields was put on the
retired list with the rank of Brigadier Cen
erai and on annual pension of $4,000.

The Counon Case.

On the 9Th instant the Supreme Court Of
Virginia, Judge Christian delivering the
opinion, made another extraordinary leci-
sion in respect to the Funding Bill. The case
is SUNNI arized by Judge Christian as fol-
lows
This case Is before us upon q 2etition
filed by James Clarke invoking the original
| Jurisdiction OF this Court for a writ OF Adbe-
as corpus. The petition and the record
Herewith filed show that the petitioner
| Clarke is confined in Jail under an execu-
ton (capias pro .fne) issued upon judy
ment OF the Hastings Court of the city Of
Richmond Tor the sum Of $50, the fine as
sessed by said court, and s23.05, the costs OF
prosecution on behalf OF the Commonwealth.
1t Is further shown that the petitioner
rendered to james NJ. Tyler, Sergeant Of the
| city OF Richmond, "a coupon which was due
and past maturity for $50, which said cou-
pom was cut from bond OF the State OF Viz
| ginia issued under the provisions Of the act
of Assembly, passed March 80, 1871, COM
monty known as the funding BILL" and the
sum OF OF S22.O5 in money. that being the
amount OF costs.
THE CITY SERGEANT
refused to receive the coupons rendered in
Poy uSAe VI eho Hac HupOscu NY LHe court
and thereupon Clarke applied to this court
for writ OF habeas corpus, and insists upon
his right to pay the fine assessed against him
by the Hastings Court in coupon Of bond
Of the State and that upon such payment,
with the costs Of prosecution, he is entitled
to his discharge from further punishment.
This record, therefore, presents for our
consideration the single question, whether
fine imposed for violation OF law can be
discharged in coupons, or whether it CANON
ly be demanded and paid in money? -
After reviewing the case, and adopting
substantially the same line of argument
adopted BY the Court in the case of Antoni
VS. Wright, Judge Christian concludes.
It only remains for me to say that the pc
titioner has the right uRder the law to dis
charge tho fine imposed upon him by THE
Hastings Court with a coupon Of bond OF
the State, which the State has agreed to re-
ccive in payment OF ''all tores, debts, dues,
and demands due NE State and that he be
discharged from further custody.
