as L eQeTSl representatives WIFI power 10
arrest and virtually to control the elec-
tion in the interest of the party that ap-
pointed them. But when the Constitu-
ton says in so many words that Congress
may regulate the time, place and manner
of holding Federal elections, &c., does it
not admit of some doubt whether the ap-
pointment of Federal witnesses to attend
the polls on days of election is unconsti-
tutional, said witnesses representing the
two contending parties! And these two
supervisors who are admitted as witnesses
on the days of Federal elections are moth
ing but witnesses with no other power
except to sit and look on, and must by
law be representatives of the two prevail
ing parties.
If this is not satisfactory to you, sup
pose the Democratic members from 4
closely contested State, where the vote is
so nearly equal that it is doubtful in
majority of the districts, even to the day
of election, whether Democrats or Re-
pubicans will be elected, were to insist
that the very presence of Democratic
supervisor was of great value to the Dem
ocratic party on election days, to prevent
ballot-box stuffing and the like by Re-
publicans, would you not consent that
the Administration should appoint these
two witnesses? This is exactly our sit
uation, and this was reason urged by
some of our Democratic friends from one
or more closely contested States. Not q
Southern Democrat favored it, but they
all acquiesced. AS to myself would
have many Inisgivings about the Democ-
racy of the man who would receive such
an appointment from Republican ad-
ministration.
Can you form any idea when Congress
will adjourn from the data furnished you
by your correspondents? If you can,
please advise your readers, for it is much
more than can do. PICKET.

ENGLISH LAND, AND THE MEN WHO
OWN 1T.-About two years ago the
British Government had returns pub
lished in what are known as "The New
Doomsday Books" showing how the
country was divided. These returns
were made for Conservative Govern
ment, and are very misleading; but,
even taking the figures as correct, they
show that four-fifths of great Britain is
owned by 12,700 persons; but the figures
are very far from being correct. Many
of the large land owners are counted over
and over again. The Duke of Buccleuch
for instance, is returned as IA land own
ers, because he owns land in II diff
ferent counties. The Dukes of Cleve-
land and Devonshire, Earl Howe and
Lord Overstone are returned as A land
owners, as these four noblemen have es-
tates in IL different counties. Mr.. Ar
thur Arnold, writing in the Nineteenth
Century some time ago, upon "The
Abuses of Landed Gentry" computed
that the ownership of four-fifths of
Great Britain is in the hands of about
1000 individuals, and even this assertion
needs qualifying, for it is estimated that
rs per cent. of the land in this country
is entailed, SO that the present own
ers really have nothing more than a life
interest in the property. A "dead hand"
stretches over their estates, and DEGREES
that they shall pass on, intact, to the
"heirs male forever" Even where pro-
perty is not entailed, the law steps in
and seems determined to prevent the
subdivision of an estate. The old feudal
customs of this country are established,
confirmed, and encouraged by the force
and operation of law, which declares in
every county Except Kent in this
island, that if landowner die intestate
the eldest son shall inherit the whole
property, and that his brothers and
sisters shall be dependent upon his boun-
ty. Sooner or later, this law will be
changed; sooner or later, this law of
entail will be broken, and we shall have
free trade in land; some day there will
be more than 25 per cent. of transferable
land in England; but things move slowly
here, and many men are beginning to
ask themselves whether monarchical
form of Government is best suited to the
requirements of the age, or whether the
present advantages peculiar to the Gov
ernment of Great Britain can not be en-
grated upon a Republic.-Correpon-

under the Constitution

Senators under the Constitution
are elected.
The true intent and meaning Of
the Constitution may, therefore,
be briefly summarized as follows:
The first election of the Senators
provided for in the Constitution
that is from the new districts-will
be in the Fall Of 1882, at which
time there will be elected forty
Senators; twenty of whom from
the odd numbered districts will go
out of Office at the end of two
years. (Sect. S, Art. IV.)
In the meantime twenty Sena-
tors will be elected this Fall under
the existing laws to hold for three
years. (Td., and also Sec. 10. Art.
XXIT.)
The Senators now In Office will
remain until the end of their terms
In 1881. "And until their success
ors are qualified, (P. c., Sec. s79)
which will be at the meeting of the
Legislature in 1888.
In the election of 1880, as there
Is no provision either of the exist
ing laws or of the new Constitu-
ton for an election Of Senators,
there will be none elected.
We therefore, in view of these
facts, cheerfulIy give credit to the
Convention for degree of con-
servatism which we have not here
t,fore accorded to Ii.

cious drug for the qualification Of
morbid appetite for siimulants is
costly luxury, and that, conse-
quently, the habit of opium.eating
Is almost necessarily confined to
the intelligent and the refined, the
question of enacting such laws as
will prevent its abuse is being Sc
rlously agitated, but up to this
time nothing definite has been
reached on the subject. Once &C.
quired the habit is incurable. For
the drunkard there is hope, but for
the confirmed opium eater none.
Having acquired a fondness for the
besotting drug, the victim must eat
or die, and hence the necessity for
such restrictions in Its sale as will
prevent persons procuring a suffi-'
Client quantity to create that appe-
tite. But just where to begin is the
question, for the opium eater soon
learns to know that there are va.
riety of forms in which it can be
used to produce the same result. 1t
may be taken ia its pure state, or
In the form of Munn's elixir, or as
laudanum or morphine, and the
hyperdermic injection is also used.
Under these circumstances all at
tempts to control It by law must
prove as abortive as those made to-
reform men by legislation. An
able writer on the subject says:
"If philanthropy and law have
failed to alb olish alcoholic drunk
enness, law will assuredly fall tn
abolish opium eating. for law is a
gauze barrier against the attack of
money, and the druggist who will
not sell the most profitable article
Of his stock because legislature
forbids, is a man above the average
of tradespeople. If fsuch law were
passed, a special policeman would
have to be placed in every drug
store to watch the druggist, and a
detective to watch the policeman
but who should watch the detect
i've? Even detectives will take
money, drink whisky and eat
opium.
"rhe spread of the habit is es-
p ciaIly to be deplored because it's
victims are, as rule, persons
whose intellect, means and POSI-
zion, If controlled by principles of
reason and usages of sound morals,
would be Of benefit to society. Only
the medical profession can check
the evil by compelling druggists,
under the pain of exposure and
the withdrawal of patronage, to
cease selling 1t; and by exercising
In their practice caution which is
alarmingly absent now-which,
while employing opium when alb.
solutely necessary and emitting it
whenever possible, will gradually
curtail the vice."
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-18
The Abuse Of Opiasn.

The use Of opium In the United
States has become much more
prevalent than ever before. The
s,Ies Of tha drug in it's various
forms have Increased enormously,
and unless something is done to
check the disgusting and debasing
practice, fears are entertained that
IL will become much more general.
Close inquiry into the subject has
revealed the fact that women are
moro addicted to the use of opium
than men, and that in consequence
Of Its cost, its votaries are mainly
among what are knewn as the bet
ter classes of society.
Various speculations are in.
dulged in regard to the causes
which have led to the alarming
growth Of this dangerous habit. By
some 1t is attributed to the great
Influx of Chinese. By Others it Is
laid at the door Of physicians, who
lay the foundation for it when
they administer opiates for the pur-
pose OF soothing pain. 1t is said
that cases in which opium eating
has become q fixed habit can be al
most infallibly traced to the door
Of the doctor, who prescribes 1t In
cases OF nervousness, and In such
attractive forms. with such sooth-
ing effects and 80 perseveringly
that, before the patient is aware of

longing which becomes next to in

MORNING SESSION.

WASHINGTON, May 16th-SEN-
ATE.-The President pro tenn. laid
before the Senate q message from
the President of the United States,
In reply to the resolution OF the
7th instant requesting information
relative to alleged unla wful occu-
patton Of q portion of the Indian
Territory. He transmits copy of
his proclamation and copies Of the
correspondence and papers ON file
In the War Department touching
this subject.
Pendlston reported bill author
izing the Secretary of the Interior
to deposit certain Indian funds in
the Treasury In lieu of invest
ments.
On motion Of ingalls,, 1t was re.
solved that the Secretary of the
Treasu v be directed to report to
the Senate what amount of legal
tender notes has been presented
and redeemed in coin since the 1st
of January last, and what amount
of coin he considers himself
authorized to retain in the Treasu-
ry to maintain specie resumption.
Consideration was then resumed
of the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Appropriation bill.
Eaton, speaking on the Appro-
priation bill, defended his former
assertion that this is a confederacy
of States. The war did not change
the Government nor abolish slav-
cry. The Emancipation Proclama.
tion did not free the slaves. 1t re-
quired the independent action of
certain number of sovereign States
to work those changes in the Gov.
ernment of this confederacy of
States. The late struggle was a
war of sections, and the present
reckless denunciation of Southern
men was unwise and wrong. Let
the past bury its own dead, and let
us 60 on as brothers.
HoUsE-A resolution was report
ed from the Committee on Rules,
ny Frye, for the appointment of y
Standing Committee, to which
shall be referred all bills, resolu.
tions, petitions, etc., affecting the
traffic in alcoholic liquors. An ar
gument in opposition was made by
Fernando Wood, on the ground
that, under the proposed authority,
this Committee might arrogate to
itself powers which did not belong
either to 1t or to Congress, and
might, under the plea of morality,
undertake to interfere with the
revenue Of the Government, de-
rived from the tax on spirits. He
had no objection to having the
whole subject referred to the Com
mittee.
The resolution was advocated by
Frye and Stephens, and opposed by
Regan.
Garfield advocated the resolution
and disposed OF the constitutional
objection by saying that Congress
had exclusive Jurisdiction over the
District of Columbia (where there
were q thousand rum-holes under

The Hoid.Oyer senators.

The Sacramento Bee, in an edi-
torial quoted in our issue of yester-
day, undertakes to show that there
is no warrant in the Constitution
for the opinion that the hold.over
Senators are turned out. AS the
Democrats have a majority of
twelve to eight Of these officers, 1t
will be matter Of congratulation
to them il this construction is we'll
founded; and upon consultation
with members of the bar In whose
opinions we have confidence, we
are glad to learn that there can be
but little doubt as to the correct
ness of this construction.
By the fifth section of article Nv.
Of the Constitution 1t is provided
that "the Senate shall consist of
forty members to
be elected by districts as hereinaf.
ter provided" and by section sixth
1t Is provided that "the State shall
be divided into forty Senatorial
Districts to "be
numbered from one to forty =
. commencing at the northern
boundary Of the State aud ending
at the Southern boundary thereof"
and that the census of 1880 "shall
be the basis of fixing and adjusting
the districts"
From this it Is evident that the
first election Of Senators provided
for by the Constitution, cannot
take place before the election of
1852. For they can only be elected
after the formation of the districts
provided for, which cannot be ear
lier than at the session of 1881, the
frst election thereafter being In
the fall Of 1882. At this election,
by the nfth section, forty Senators
will be elected, of whom twenty
are to 60 out of office at the expi.
ration Of two years.
In the meanwhile the election Of
Senators is provided for by section
l of the schedule article XXII.,
which reads as follows:
"All laws in force at the adop-
tion Of this Constitution, not incon-
slstent Herewith, shall remain in
full force and effect until altered or
repealed by the Legislature. ="
The provisions Of laws which
are inconsistent with this Consti-
tuition shall cease upon the adop-
ton thereof, except that all laws
which are inconsistent with such
provisions of this Constitution as
require legislation to enforce them
shall remain In full force until the
first day of July, 1880, unless sooner
repealed by the Legislature"
Now 1t is evident from the Sec
tIons we have quoted that the pro.
visions of the Constitution In refer
ence to Senators do "require legis.
lation to enforce them;" namely,
laws providing for the formation
of the new districts. Hence 1t is
plain that the present laws as to
the election of Senators remain in
force until July 1st, 1880; that they.
and they alone, must govern the
election of Senators this fall; and
that, therefore, only twenty Sena-
tors are to be elected. The only
change being that Section s. Arti-
Gle IV-these are to hold Office for
three instead Of four years, SO as to
