WHATEvsR else is not clear concerning the
radical re: cality OF the presidential canvass
of 1876, there is no doubt whatever that the
radical returning boards OF Florida and Lou
isiana were in the market and for sale 10 the
highest bidder, and there is, moreover, no
doubt that whatever ''dickering' may have
been gong on in relation 80 the electoral
votes of Florida and Louisiana, that the par

pies the presidential chair in Washington

THE sOvEREIGArY OF TIRE STATES.
The supreme court Of the United States
recently made the following decision:

The truth IL, states and cities. when they
borrow money and contract u pay IL with in
'ereSt, are not aciiDg a. soveiriguties. They
come down TO the level Of ordinary )ndividu-
ais. heir contacts have the same meaning
as that OF similar contracts between priva G
persons. Hence, ins'ead of their being iu the

a reserved right To deny ear change the eff CT OF
the prouise, is an absurdity.
Here we have the statement distinctly
made, that when states borrow money they
are not acting IS "s)vereignties;' that the
act OF borrowing money, IN some way rot
explained, divests them of their sovereign
prerogatives, and tba. they come down TO
the level of ordinary IndIviduals." This
decision is evidently intended 10 strengthen

LUBIG's theory of the near relation of tha
love Of intoxicating liquors and the use OF
animal food has been put TO q severe test by
Charles Napier, an English scientist. Lub'g
conteDded that diet of farinaceous food

drunkard for liquor, but would destroy it
after II was or &c formed. or would prevent
fits formation il use d carefully and constant
ly. vegetarian is rSrely ever drunsard
the exception being so rare as not TO destroy
the force of the rule. He has no desire for
liquor, but bis stomach rejects IL as nsu-
seous, and the smallest amount produces
sickness and disgust rather than exhilera-
ton or stimulation. Acting on these well
known principles, Napier subjected twenty
seven liquor drinking persons to the test of
the theory of Lubig, and its truth was dem
onstrated and valu 1ble information gained
for the guidance OF those wishing to refoGm.
Principal among these are the articles Of
food most likely to aid in this work: Maca-
ROM, cried peas, lentils, haricot beans and
highly glutinous bread. The macaroui and
vegetables should be we'll boiled ard
plenty OF olive oil or butter used in the pre-
paration OF them for the table. Care must
be exercised that the bread be perfectly
sweet, any scidiy being liable to incite the
desire for Alcoholic drinks. Salt and sailed

the men who was q striking example of the
change from a diet OF animal food. to one

curious calculation" published by
the Commercial, suggests other curl
Gus and serious calculations, not
quite so catering to the radical party.
They relate entirely 10 the amount it has
cost the people 10 advance greenbacks to par
with gold. Admitting that the ''apprecia-
ton of the greenb ick has reduced the pub
'hc debt and the amount OF interest an-
Kually paid by the government, still there
are other facts connie ted with the process
in which the people take more lively inter
est. To advance sreenbacks to par with gold
required a contraction Of the currency, and
from 1866 10 1873 The contraction as s'eted
by radical authorities, amounted to 81, 069-
65S e53.
The number of failures reported for the
same period was SO, 1902. entailing Losses
amounting to 1889, 474,443.
1t is estimated that the failures for the last
half of 1878 will reach 10000 entailing
further loss of 81, 000, 0O0,000.
1t is estimated that contraction of the cur
rency has produced shIinKage OF values
equal 20 40 per cent. of the property of the
country or, in round numbers, S., 900 100000
1t is estimated that contraction. by virtue of
which the purchasing power OF the green
backs has been advanced, has thrown out of
employment a, least l 100000 working peo-
pie. whose earnings. at one dollar per day,
would now reach, since 1873, s., 700, 900 900
It's stima'ed that there are in the United
States 100000 working people employed,
either on half time or half pay for whole
time, equal TO 600, 600 persons out Of en-
ployment at say one dollar rer

The bill proposes to repeal section 1912 of

so as to confer the same privileges upon Off
GERS of the regular army as were conferred
by it upon officers Of volunteers.

The senate of the United States has under
consideration the bill to repeal the bankrupt
law, reported from the committee on judici-
airy. A Washington correspondent says:
The bill repeats the act of March 2, 1867,
and all acts amendatory thereto. 1t is pro.
vided that the repeal shall in no manner In
validate any case in bankruptcy instituted
and pending in any court prior to the pass
ageof the repeal bill, but to all such pend
ing cases the bankrupt Law shall continue in
force and effect until the same shall be fully
disposed Of. Mr.. Matthews proposed a sub
stitute for the bill of the judiciary commit.
tee, which establishes a uniform law on the
subject of bankruptcy. The substitute pro-
vides that any person becoming insolvent,
who shall make an assignment according to
the laws of the state or territory in which he
resides or carries on business, of all his
property for the equal benefit of all his cred
itors, shall thereby be declared a bankrupt !:
and when his assets, upon distribution BY his
assignee, shall have paid to his creditors,
within two years after his assignment, SO
per. cent. of the amount of their claims, the
bankrupt shall thereby be discharged from
all further liability, and all property &C.
quirod BY the bankrupt during the two
years subsequent to the date of the assign
ment shall be exempt from seiznre upon ju.
diciat process upon claims existing at the
date thereof. The discharge and exemption
shall not extend to obligations contracted
fraudulently or incurred by means of breach
of trust. The action of the senate on these
two distinct propositions is uncertain, but it
is believed that the bill reported by tie ju.
dietary committee will be supported by the
majority.
