This fact should be taken into con-

have great weight in determining
the settlement OF this question, not
to mention the many other impor-

up to confront Mr.. Conk!iug and
to convict hin Of falsehood.
Nor is it true that no citizen of
the South was disfranchised by
national authority. The negro and
carpet beg governments could new
err have been imposed on the South-
ern States if tie military satraps Of
the Republican party had not used
the bayonets of the army to dis
franchise white citizens. In this
State no one was permitted to vote
except by the permission of Gen.
Sheridan or his officers. The first
reconstruction act required the reg
istration of all citizens taking the
oath of allegiance to the United
States. Gen. Sheridan refused to
obey this law. He instructed lis
registrars to reject all citizens who
had served in the Con federate ar
my, or who had ever held office un-
der the United States, or under
the State Government, or the city
government, ard afterwards SYM
pathized with the Confederate
cause. Thousands of white citi-
zens were thus disfranchised by
Gen. Sheridan, acting under The
orders Of the Republican party. 1t
was violation Of the law, but it
was a violation Of the law which
was prepared at the instance Of the
Republican party. and under the
shadow of the national authority,
and which at the next session of
Congress was conGoned and legal
lied by a formal act of legislation.
The assertion of Mr.. Conkiing
that no man in the south was dis,
franchised by national authority is
a INDUSTRIOUS perversion of the
truth. No Acknowledgement by
national authority. How was it
then that for from six to ten long
and weary years seven million
white people were put under the
government of four million negroes?
No acknowledgements by national
authority! Why the kistory Of
reconstruction by national authority
is history in which the most
prominent feature is the disfran.
chisement of Southern whites by
military officials, acting in the in
forests of the Republican party
and under the order of the Nat
ional CONVENIENTLY. 0. Pic.

THE FEllCIANA SENTINEL.
ANEODOTE OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

London Journal: FsThc queen
was not twenty years of age when
she assembled the throne. Coming
into possession Of power. with
heart fresh, tender and pure, and
with all her instincts inclined to
mercy. we may be sure that she
found many things that tried her
strength Of resolution to the Utmost.
On a bright, beautiful morning,
the young queen was waited upon
at her palace, at Windsor, by the
Duke of Wellington who had
brought from London various pa
pers requiring her signature to
make them operative. One CT
them was a sentence of the court
martial pronounced against a SOL
der Of the line-that sentence that
no should be shot dead. The queen
looked upon the paper, aud then
looked upon the wondrous beauties
that nature had spread to her view
w hat has this man done?' she
asked. The duke looked at the
paper, and replied: 'Ah, my royal
mistress, that man, I fear is incor-
rigible. He has deserted three
times and can you not say any
thing in his behalf, my lord?' We'll
lington shook his head. oh think
again, I pray you!' Seeing that her
majesty was so deeply moved, and
feeling sure that she would not
has the man shot in any event, he
finally confessed that tho man was
brave: and gallant, and really a
good soldier. But he added,
of the influence Influence = the
queen cried, her eyes flashing and
her bosom heaving with strong
emotion. LET it be ours to WELD
Influence. I will try mercy in this
mans case, and I charge you, your
grace, to let me know the result.
\ good soldier, you said. Oh, I
thank you for that! And you may
tell him that your good word saw
ed him. Then she took the paper
and wrote with a pold firm hand,
across the dark page, the bright,
saving word-"pardoned!" The
duke was fond of telling the story:
and he was willing also to confess
that the giving of that paper to the
paSdoncd soldier gave him far more
Joy than he could have experienced
from the taking of a city"

THE LOCATION OF THE STATE
CAPITAL.

One Of the most important meas.
ares devo|ving upon the constitu-
tionai convention will be the 1oca~
ton of the State Capital. There
mas been less discussion by the
PRESS upon this subject than any
other important measure that will
come before it for its consideration
and decision. This apparent in
difference is not for the want of a
sufficient interest or appreciation
of the Importance of the subject by
the press for the people, but from
;he fact that at the recent election
the people decided and settled the
question by large majority in ia
vor of the location>being made at
Eaton Rouge. This circumstance
taken in connection with the oft
repeated express voice of the poo-
pie since the year lS45 in favor Of
Baton Rouge, until changed by the
Burning of the State House and the
events Of the war, leaves no doubt
of the will Of the people upon the
subject. Under the Radical re-
construction laws which gave rise
to the military and bayonet copsti-
tutions of 1s64land 1868, in which
the people of the State had COM
paratively no voice or representa-
ton. they fixed the seat of govern
snent at New Orleans where it has
ever since remained. Previous to
the last election the question was
deliberately discussed throughout
the State and the issue fully made
at the ballot box upon the merits
and the expcdiency of the location
which resulted as in all previous
expressions by the people OF tie
State in favor Of Baton Rouge.
The clear and indisputable fact
that the people Of the State have
SO frequently decided in favor of
the location being made at Baton
Rouge, should be conclusive of the
whole subject and decisive of the
action of the convention in making
the location accordingly. In adj
dition to the many weighty con-
siderations that influence the peo-
p!o to prefer Baton Rouge fox the

4 FALSE PRETENsE.

In his speech IN the Senate on
the army appropriation bill, Mr..
Conkling said that when the war
was over no man who fought
against.the flag was punished even
by Imprisonment :" and that emo
man was disfranchized by national
authority; and no one man, for one
moment, was denied the right to
vote Or hindered in any other way
The credit tor this remarkable dis
play of magnaninity Mr.. Conk-
ling claims Of course for the Re-
publican party. The logical infer
ence is, that if the Republican par
ty had chosen not to be magnani-
nous. it might have slain or i'm
pcisoned the citizens Of the South
at its will, and mi GIT have disfran-
chised those whom it did not STAY
or imprison without making itself
liable to the censure of the world.
All of which is simply stuff, as Mr..
Conkling we'll knows that there
was no warrant, in international
laws or in the customs Of civilized
nations, for the punishment, as
criminals, by victorious govern
ment, Of the citizens of communities
which have been overcome in war.
II may suit Mr.. Conkiing to call
the confederate war a rebellion,
but it was a war nevertheless-the
greatest war Of modern times. 1t
was a war in which the Federal
government was compelled to ac-
cept, at least in form, the conditions
of war, and in which the nations Of
the civilized world granted beliger-
ent rights to the so-called rebels.
Mr.. Conkling knows that it would
have been simply impossible to con-
vict any Confederate of treason,
and that any other method of pun
ishment would havo shocked the
moral sense. Edmund Burke said
that it was impracticaole to bring
an Indictment against a whole peo-
pie. Garrett Smith said the same
thing in speech delivered in New
York just after the capture of Rich,
mond. Garrett Smith was as good
Union man az Mr.. Conklin; but he
was more Of logic an. He saw
the absurdity of chacgingehe crime
of treason on every citizen among
eleven million people. He knew
what Mr.. Cooking then knew,
and what Mr.. Conklipg knows
now, and what Chief Justice Chase
knew, that no indictment for trca-
son would lie against even Jeffer~
son Davis. The pretension now set
up of great magnanimity on the
part Of the Republican party, in
declining to enter on this hope
less task, becomes ridiculous in COM
trast with the vindictive spirit
shown by the Republicans at that
time. Unhappily the ghost of the
innocent Mrs. Suratt, murdered to
crafty base revenge, and of the
helpless Wirz, assassinated when
he was under the protection of the
United States flag, and with Gen.
sherman's parole in bis pocket, rise

The fruit crop of Msine this year is
very abundant. In 1876 the crop was
light. last year il was still smaller, be
ing almost a failure. Very few or
chards furnished enough for their own
er's use. After two wears of rest the
trees were prepared to give. as they
have. one Of the best crop. OF fruit ever
harvested in this State. This statement
is true. not only of apples, the leading
fruit grown. but also Of pears snd small
fruits. The fruits were enormously
large, and almost every sample perfect.
In those orchards where no iruit was
grown last year, hardly single wormy
specimen was TO he found. This ac-
counts in part for the bountiful crop
The blossoms in spring were not so full
a. Is many times the case, nor did an
unusual amount of fruit set, but nearly
all that did set remained upon the tree
till ready for harvest. There was no
wormy fruit 10 fall. and the season was
entirely exempt from high winds,
which many times do great damage 10
fruit. A. result of this combination
of favorable conditions. we have an
enormous crops of quality never ex-
celled, if ever before equalled.
But prices are low for apples, and
what is still worse, the demand is dull
We have more than are needed to sup.
ply the wants of our own population,
and unless the surplus is taken BY
markets outside of our own State, sales
will continue slow. There have been
some sales made for shipping to Europe
but not enough to have any effect on
the market. The keeping quality OF
our fruit is not excelled by any grown
in any other State in the Union: and
when the superior quality of this year :
crop is considered, it is believed We
can supply as good shipping fruit as
can be found in the country. The
Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening
for winter fruit are grown to a greater
extent than any other kinds. In kenne.
bee county, however-tbe best apple
growing section OF the Staie-the Rox.
bury Russell is grown TO large extent.
In some localities, nearly all the apples
grown for market are of this variety.
Properly handled 1t will keep till June
sound and in good condition, and i.
marketed to large extent as late al
the first OF July. In its favorite 10.
calites the fruit is large. and in flavor
Of high quality of its kind.
The growing of pears in this State is on
the Increase, since we have learned
what varieties 10 plant. PstieEt cult.
vstors have experimental till they have
proved that q succession of varieties
can be grown here that are IS sure 10
reward intelligent effort as is the ap.
pie. There is list of varieties cover.
ing the entire pear season, which are
proving hardy and productive, and or.
chsrdists are planting quite freely
This year the crop on all bearing was
abundant. and, unlike apples, the price
10 high; the usual supply from Massa.
chusetts being cut of by the short crop
in that State. The success of this year
will give increased encouragement to
pear culture; and it is confidently be
lieved that the time is not far distant
when Maine will supply her own de
