IN ODIOUS LAW.

The extra session of Congress will begin
week from tomorrow, and probably the
first business it will transact will be to re-
peal the odious supervisors of election law,
upon which there has been such deter
mined contest for the past few weeks of the
session that has just closed. The law is 80
utterly repugnant to all Republicans that we
marvel that men have been found to enact
or maintain it, even in times of great public
excitement. The constitution of the United
States specifically gives to the several States
the right to hold and control elections, but
even if it did not the duty would so mani
testify belong to those organizations that
there ought to be no question whatever as to
its exercise. This law has not only violated
constitutional provision, but it is also dis
tasteful, monarchical and despotic in it's oper-
atoms. Any ten men have the privilege of
requiring federal judge to appoint men to
oversee the election who are invested with
extraordinary police powers--the right to ar
rest citizen at their own option, without any
formal complaint or without any reasonable
evidence more than mere suspicion to war
rant it. They and the marshals who assist
them are simply authorized and paid can
vassers for the party that now happens to be
dominant in national affairs, who have the
power to imprison arbitrarily any person
who shall refuse to obey their behests.
Besides being an unrepublican system, the
supervisors of election law is expensive. The
figures of the so-called department. of Justice
show that in 1876 this little engine of the
Republican party cost the country the snug
little sum of $275,OOO. Of this amount
more than 100000 were expended in the
Northern States-in New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, California, Illinois, New Jersey and
In none of these States is
there any pretence that rebellion,
save against the Republican party, existed.
Where, then, was the necessity for the ap-
pointment of these special policemen, at an
average cost of fifty dollars each? Certainly
not for the purpose of having fair election,
for the local authorities were abundantlv
able to attend to this matter without federal
aid. They have not, either, assisted the To-
cal authorities in carrying out the laws re-
lating to the conduct of elections. They
have merely acted as spies and informers,
and in this capacity have perhaps earned
what they have received. They have paid
dlllgent attention to the way men have voted,
and if the information they have thus
cleaned turns out to be of any advantage for
either revenge or other partisan purposes, it
is freely used, and more than one person has
experienced the inestimable benefits of this
system of espionage greatly to his sorrow.
If the Congress that is about to meet shall
accomplish nothing more than the repeal of
this obnoxious law, it will deserve the graft
tude of the whole country for ages vet to
come. So utterly subversive of true democ-
racy is the idea upon which the system is
based, that any means adopted to get rid of
it will be fully approved. It is one of the
few cases in which the end iustifes the
means

election to the Senate, over Loveland, Chat

careful yet rigorous tests, satisfied his mind
upon every question, and now boldly de-
clares that two years hence there will be no
California gulch, no Leadville, no Carbonate

curse their luck. The Denver papers also
manifest little soul, and, while they abstain
from an expose of the gigantic scheme, OF
censure of those who created it, they quietly
advise against an immigration, at least until
the snow shall disappear lin June), and the

Pity After the Fire.

We feel for the Detroit Post and Tribune. We do more-we pity every editor on the paper, from the gray haired gentleman who writes those awful political lies down to the "special' who steals his local items and then swears he was OF the spot. We have this feeling because the Free Press was bottom side up and both sides baked year ago now, and we had just such surroundings as the Post and Tribune has to-day. It seemed like old times to look in there yesterday and see editors, ink bottles, insurance men, cockroaches, old files, scorched books, paste cups and sympa- thetic visitors all mixed up in heap.
 Their sorrows have only just begun over there. The real desolat1on will not finger their heart strings until the edi- torial rooms have been repaired and re- furnished. They won't be in their new quarters ten minutes before somebody willsscome up stairs, look around, and cry out:
 sWell, now, what blessing that scorch was !"
 The next man will exclaim
 ssSo you had fire We'll it was lucky, eh ?"
 The third man may not have his speech written down, but will content himself with:
 "Got all settled again, eh? Phew but you fellers ought to burn out about once more and then you'd have things right ?"
 The fourth man will be an original thinker, funny chap, and he will aim to say something new when he says:
 s'I thought I'd wait till you got all settled and then call and ask you who set the office on fire."
 Every five minutes in the long day some one will come up stairs with some. thing to say, and the lapse of days and weeks will make no difference with the tread of feet on the stairs. It will be years before the subject will grow old and decade must pass away before tht last newsboy who first saw the fire breal out will grow weary of relating his vivit experience.

In New England.

In the New England States, says re- port from that section, there has obvi- ously been a considerable revival of agriculture. While, for many years, the young men of these States have sought better returns for their labor, ei ther in mechanical pursuits or in trade, or in farming at the West, there is now 8 perceptibIe tendency to get back to the tilling of the land. In the neighbor- hood of cities more small farming is be- ing done, not producing any thing for shipment, but supplying in part de- mand which has for long time drawn upon other sections. In the strictly ag- ricultural portions of these States there has been good deal of change in the ownership of land, and larger farms are forming under the control of men com- manding more capital, whose b etter-di rected management is producing better results. As to the specific crops, it may be said that, while miscellaneous cereal products and fruits promise we'll, the grass crop, with it's attendant products of the dairy, is decidedly increased Probably it would be safe to say thai
 New England will contribute at least 1( per cent. more of hay, and of butter
 cheese, and stock, than last year.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

In icing cakes, dip the knife frequent ly into cold water.
 A little ginger put into the sausage meat improves the flavor.
 If your coal fire is low, throw on 8 tablespoonful of salt, and it will help it very much.
 In boiling meat for soup, use cold water to extract the juices. If the meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge in boil ing water at once. .s...
 To prevent meat from scorching during roasting, place basin of water in the oven. The steam generated prevents scorching and makes the meat cook better.
 You can get bottle or barrel of oil off any carpet or woolen stuff by apply ing dry buckwheat plentifully and faith fully. Never put water to such grease spot, or liquid of any kind.
 Broil steak without salting. Salt draws the juices in cooking; it is desir- able to keep these in if possible. Cook over hot fire, turning frequently, sear- ing on both sides. Place on a platter i; salt and pepper to taste.
 Beef having tendency to be tough can be made very palatable by stewing gently for two hours, with pepper and salt, taking out about pint of the liquor when half done, and letting the rest boil into the meat. Brown the meat in the pot. After taking up, make gravy of the pint of liquor saved.
 YORKSHIRE PUDD1Na.-Two eggs, one teaspoon of baking powder, and flour to thicken to the consistency of soft bis cults. Drop by the tablespoonful in the pot with baked meats.
 LEMON PIE. E.-One cup cold water, one cup sugar, one cup chopped raisins and one lemon, squeeze out the juice and then chop the other part bake with two crusts. This makes two small or one large pie, and is the best lemon pie I ever saw that could be made without eggs.
 BEST CORN BREAD.-One cup sugar, one cup sour or buttermilk, pour the milk on the sugar add one teaspoonful of ginger, one do. lemon and one-third cup of butter dissolve one teaspoonful soda in little milk and add then stir in half cup flour and Indian meal enough to make stiff batter bake in moder- ately slow oven.

Lest a Fortune.

The Nevada Reveille says: A san- guine prospector was sinking hole in Iowa gulch one morning. When he came to his shaft he found therein a dead cat. This greatly surprised him, for dead cats are very scarce in Iowa gulch, and being superstitious man he was inclined to look upon it as an evil omen, which idea troubled him so that he could not work, and after many vain efforts he finally threw down his tools and concluded that he would go to town and try to divert his mind little. Ac. cordingly he went to town, where he got as drunk as lamp-ighter and continued so for several days, during which time some men who had started a hole close to his shaft struck mineral and surveyed him in, whereby he lost fortune.

 Tt is fact worth remembering that it does not take half as long to make wound as it does to heal one.
 No man ever lived who had only one fault. A single fault has both sexes in itself, and is sure to beget 8 large family.
 Luck is good thing, but one ean- not always afford to wait for it. Pluck is better thing, because it is always ready to begin.
 It is remarkable fact that great many people in this gossipy world who never had their ears pierced, have, alas ! had them bored times without number.
 It is curious fact, and one which has not been made as prominent as it's i'm portance deserved, that the parlor is the place where the most of our matches are made.
 Tt may be, as some one has com plained, terribly monotonous for man and wife to live together for thirty years without quarrel, but it is an ex- perience in which very few couples have indulged themselves.

Queer D0ings for a Cent.

The Pittsburg Telegraph says: The interesting story" which was supposed at the time to be connected with the att tempt of a young lady to jump into the river from the railing of the Hand Street Bridge last Wednesday night came out this morning, and certainly presents queer commentary on the credulity of oll-keepers and policemen. It will prob ably be recollected that the young lady passed out on the bridge and was soon after followed by young man, who, in the most excited manner, stated to the toll-keeper and policeman that she was bent on suicide. He then hurriedly went to the rescue. It seems that the young man and lady were in company, and were on the way to their home in Allegheny when, as they were nearing the bridge, the escort found that he was without tile penny with which to pay the necessary toll. This was certainly a ridiculous position to be in, but as the young man was upon very familiar terms with his companion he did not hesitate to tell her he cause of his perplexity. Then the young lady stated that she, also. was in the same position, having left her purse at home. What they were to do under the circumstances was discussed for 8 moment, and then with ready wit the young man suggested the suicide experi- ment, trusting that under the excitement of the moment nothing would be thought about the toll. The young lady agreed to the proposal at once. The attempt was made, the toll-keeper and policeman were startled beyond expression, the morning papers were furnished with g sensation, but the young man and his devoted companion passed over the
 bridge.

BAD TREATMENT.-A Chinese paper gives an account of the cruel treatment to which the coolies are subjected, who are employed in the Dutch Islands in the Straits to clear land and plant to- bacco. Every man, on his arrival, is tattooed on the cheek, and once arrived they are never released. No letters are allowed to be transmitted; if one is sick no medical attendance is furnished !; they are dressed in cocoanut bark, and have for food one pound of rice in the husk daily and a little salt fish. On &C., count of the unhealthiness of the climate nearly half die the first year, and the to- tai number of deaths since the trade be- gan is more than 10000. Such rig orous watch is kept upon them that no one has ever been known to escape.

An Aversion to Blood.

A striking incident in MT. Lincoln's official life is related by Judge Cromwell of Denver, who visited the White House in March, 1865. MT. Seward and sev- eral other gentlemen were also present, and the President gradually came to talk on decisions of life and death. All uother matters submitted to him, he declared, were nothing in comparison to these, and he added: "I reckon there never was a man raised in the country on a farm, where they are always butchering cattle and hogs and think nothing of it, that ever grew up with such an aversion to bloodshed as have !; and yet I've had more questions of life and death to settle in four years than all the men who ever sat in this chair puttogether.
