Gen. Buffers Individual Report.

General Buffers individual report upon
the Potter investigation makes a document
of some 200 pages. He maintains that the al
pointing of Judges of the Supreme Court up
on the Commission to decide the late Presi-
Dental election has done moral harm to the
cause OF justice by impairing the reverence
people have always justly had for the fnteg-
rity of the decision of that Court, and the ex.
pertinent ought never to be tried again; that
the counting in of Hayes was obtained by
series of gross and unjustifiable irregularities
and frauds which can not be too strongly
condemned and reprobated; that if any title
to the GovernorSuip of Louisiana resu ted
from the late election in that state to any one,
it was to Governor Packard, who was legally
elected; that the act of Hayes in appoin ing
aud sending the McVeagh Commission to
Louisiana was an act wholly unauthorized
by the Constitution, and not within the scope
of the Executive and specially reprehensible.
as irs purpose and motive was to carry out a
corrupt political arrangement and agI cement
on his part, made by his friends, with his
knowledge and consent, the fruits of which
he is still enjoying without right and against
law.

Hooks and Eyes In Religion.

Down in Washington County, on its
northern border, lived a religious sect
known as the Amish Church, with Pc
culiar views. They discard all show IN
dress and living. The men wear no
collars on their coats or buttons on their
clothes. The women wear no buttons.
They are considered devices of the devil.
Only hooks and eyes were tolerated by
either sex. Their preacher, Benjamin
Eicher, a learned and progressive man,
became imbued with the spirit OF the
age, and made an innovation on their
tenets by declaring that the acts of men
were of more Importance than what
they wore. This was the beginning of
a division and the church divided itself
into hooks and eyes and buttons. The
controversy was bitter. The hooks and
eyes were headed by one Conrad, who
denounced the buttoners as heretics.
The preacher one day came to his pull
pit with collar and buttons on his
coat. This was an objectionable sin
with the Conrads. He had daughter
who was educated and refined, taught
music and also was teacher in the pub
lie schools. A son of the elder Con-
rad. brought up in the faith of his ia
! ther, in the heat of the contest made re.
marks against the virtue of the young
lady. She brought an action against
him for slander, and last week the case
was tried, resulting in verdict for $500
against young Conrad. 1t was plainly
apparent that the scandalous words
were the result of mistaken belief that
4 because she had departed from the hook
and eye faith she was infamously bad.
AS she sought only a vindication of her
good name, she will not demand the
money.-IoWa Letter 10 ST. Paul lNisan }

German Socialism.

From the earliest movement of the
Socialists the Government endeavored
to the utmost to make its leaders their
own instruments. In 1S47 Socialist
still living was asked by the Govern
ment to write communistic articles for
a popular journal, but declined to do so
under such auspices. Similar overtures,
though often repulsed, were never dis
continued, and it is not more than 10
years-if indeed so much-since the
Government which Prince Bismarck
controls or constitutes was paying, with
the enormous secret-service money of
Prussia, for the maintenance of journals
advocating identically the same doc
trines in which he row reads direct
indictments TO disobey the mandates of
the Supreme Being. Without such sup
port, given lavishly and with ill-kept
secrecy, the wild writings of SweitZer
could never have been set afloat, and
hundreds of other communistic out
pourings would have died unnoticed
before a still uncertain public. But
Prince Bismarck, with splendid cunning,
saw from afar the inevitable outcome.
He saw that if the poorest and most un-
educated classes had Socialistic itera-
ture thrust continually upon them, they
would in time grow desperate in
their rage against all that capital
ist class whom they were taught to
regard as luxurious spendthrifts, en-
joying the pleasant idleness made
possible by the ceaseless, unrequited
labor of the poor. That rage would
soon be the terror of the classes imme-
diately above the poorest of the small
er capitalists, the great middle-class
population. And not of these only. 1t
would clearly be easy to persuade vast
majority of the whole population that a
| terrible revolution was inevitably brew
ing; that they who declaimed against
the capitalists were bandits who meant
to plunder every one possessed of world
ly goods at all. Then there would arise
cry for help against the new Red Ter
ror, and, in the general scare, who could
refuse the Government all support to
kill the grim apparition threatening
every peaceful homeP Who could com.
plain of reaction or of tyranny if he saw
security from the immediate peril
Events went just as Prince Bismarck had
forseen; the people believed in the por-
trait he gave of the monster his own
hands had helped to shape, and even
the so-called Liberal Party gave him
support in his efforts to kill the thing
he had once so providently called into
life. The two great apostles of Social
ism in Germany have been men of very
different type. Ferdinand Lassalle wa:
a savant who became politician; Car
Marx has changed from politician tc

aimed at fostering the spirit of nation
ality; Marx, cosmopolitan, seeks tt

Tampa (FIa.) Tribune. Thursday of
last week it was discovered that a sink ,hoe
mad formed on the telegraph road between
here and Fort Meade, about ten miles from
here. The road ran near about through the
center OF the sink, which is about forty feet
in diameter and as round as a circle. A pine
tree, fully seventy feet tall, that stood by
the road, went do IN, and its top is few
feet below the surface OF the ground. The
SINK has hlled up to within six or seven feet
OF the surface of the surrounding ground
with water, out of which the tree top stands
some three feet There seems to have been
shifting also OF the surrounding ground
for distance OF fifty yards all around the
margin OF the hole. The water which has
appeared in the sink is OF deep azure
color and very clear. This is not the first
sink that has occurred in this region, which
is noted for the number of its beautiful
lakes, within the last few years, another one
having formed few years ago, about a
mile from this one. On account OF the light
rainfall since last autumn the lakes in that
region are getting low, and it is supposed
that the water support to the vault OF some
subterranean passage from the nearest lake
being no longer present, the earth gave way
and dropped into the snbterranean vacuum.
