Sound Doctrine.

Gen. J. r. Davis, in the Seashore Gazette.
There Is a feature in the organization of this
Union well nigh, if not altogether, forgotten
in these days OF centralism, which it behooves
Democratic Congress to restore To view. The
representation OF the States in the Senate is
too well defined and clear-cut principle to be
denied or explained away without destroying
the very letter of the Constitution, but not so
with the relations OF the representatives in the
lower House to their States. We often hear it
loosely stated that they the representa-
tives of the people, by way of distinction
from the Senators. They are indeed repre-
sentatives OF the people but OF the peoples of
the several States-not Of the consolidated
people OF the United States.
This is mere abstract, impractical dis
tinction. 1t involves a vital principle, and is
clearly recognized in the Constitution. The
House OF Representatives is composed OF
" members chosen every second year by the
people of the Sererai StdteS''-not by the people
of the United States. The Representative
must be " an inhabitant of that State in which
he shall be chosen" Representatives must be
" appointed among the SeUeraI States" When
vacancies happen in the representation from any
State" provision is made for filling them.
Fractional excuses OF population in any State
are not united with similar fractions IN adjoln-
ing States to form constituencies for addition
al Representatives, but g lag supertuous,
distinct, and apart from each other, until the
to increased representation When the cleo
tors fail to make choice of President in the
ordinary mode, the House of Representatives
elects the representation from each State hav-
ing one vote" A quorum in such cases con-
sists of " a member, or members, from t'cc-thEds
Of the States"
In short, the Constitution is full of proof
positive and proof negative of this principle,
that the representation in both branches OF
Congress is a representation of States 1t fol-
lows that the election of representatives Is
matter exclusively under State control, except
in so far as is otherwise expressly provided,
and the Federal Government has no more claim
to supervision of these than OF other State
elections.
it's to be hoped, therefore, that the present
Democratic Congress will regard the repeal OF
this usurpation its chief duty, and that IL
will leave no lawful means unemployed for its
accomplishment. If it cannot be done by di-
rect repeal let there be no hesitation in attach
ing it as a condition to the appropriation bills
Ii the arbitrary interposition OF Presidential
veto, or the factious resistance of a Republic
can minority, should threaten to defeat or him
der this purpose, trust that rather than
Weld, they viii protraet the session until De
cember or even until the close OF Mr.. Hayes

A BOY WHO GAVE HIS NOTE.

A Boston lswver was called on a short
time ago by boy, who Inquired If he
had any waste paper to sell. The law
yer had acrisp, keen way Of asking ques-
tions, and Is, moreover, methodlcal
man. So, pulling out a large drawer,
he exhibited his stock of waste paper
"Will you give me two shillings for
that?"
The boy looked at the paper doubling
" moment and offered fifteen pence
g Done, said the lawyer; and the pa
per was quickly transferred to the bag of
the boy, whose eyes sparkledas he raised
the mighty mass.
Not till it was safely slowed away did
he announce that he had no money.
No, money! How do you expect To
buy paper without money!
Not prepared to state exactly his
plan Of operations, the boy made no re-
ply. ,a,,
i"Do you consider your note good|
asked the lawyer.
" Yes, sir.
+" Very well if you consideryour note
is good, I'd just as soon have it as the
money; but fit isn't good don't want
it,"
The boy affirmed that he considered
it good; whereupon the lawyer wrote
note for Is pence, which the boy signed
legibly, and, lifting the bag Of papers,
trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow re-
turned, and, producing the money, an
nounced that he had come to pay his
note.
"Wen," said the lawyer, that is the
first time that / ever knew "a note TO be
taken up the day it was given. A boy
that will do that is entitled to note and
money y" and, giving him both, sent
him on his way with "A smiling face and
happy heart. ,,,
The boys note represented his honor
A boy who thus keeps his honor bright,
however poor he may be in worldly
things, is an heir to an inheritance which
no riches can buy-the choice promises
of God.

THE TRUE HEAVEN.
PAUL II. HAYNE-

The bliss for which our spirits pine,
That bliss We feel shall vet be given
Somehow, in some far realm divine,
Some marvellous state We name a heaven
Is not the bliss OF dangerous hours,
glory OF calm, measured range,
But life which feeds our noblest powers
ON wonders OF eternal change;
4 heaven of action freed from strife,
With ampler ether Tor the scope
OF an Unreasonable life
And unbafiied, boundless hope;
A heaven wherein all dscords cease
Self-torment, doubt. Distress turmoil,
The core OF whose majestic peace
Il god-like power OF tireless toll
Toll without tumult. strain or jar,
With grandest reach OF range induced,
Unchecked by even the farthest star
That trembles through infinitude
In which to soar to higher heights
Through widening others stretched abrod,
Till in our onward, upward flights,
We touch at last the feet of God
Time swallowed in eternitvl
No future eyermore. no past,
But one amending Now, TO be
A boundless circle round Us east.

Brookhaven Ledger.

Brookhaven Ledger
1t is just vitality important TO the welfare OF
the Democracy to make nominations now as II
was in 1873 or 1876. Ii we would succeed, we
must stand firm and together. To keep the
party alive effective organization is necessary,
and there can be no such organization with Oui
forces scattered. Concentration is needful, and
without nominations it is impossible LII this
"open field and fair fight delusion is adopted,
it will be the sure disruption of the Democratic
party. 1t will result, in many instances, IN
putting in Office the very worst men. II
will probably be, the loss of Mississippi eight
electoral votes to the Democracy in the Presl-
Dental election of 1850. Such state OF al
fairs can easily be prevented. All that Is nee
essary is to nominate for the various othces
that are to be filled at the coming election good
and competent men. This done the Democrat
ic party is safe, the right kind Of men VIII oe

votes secured TO the Democratic Presidential
nominees in $780,

Gambling Women.

FOrney's Progress.
IL At first the women of
France we're obliged 30 keep their habit
a secret, but during the reigns Of Louis
XIV and XIV they become less timid,
and the wives of great men engaged in
the deepest play at their own houses.
s'Such women" says La Brugiere,
"make Us men chaste; they have moth
ing Of the sex but its garments" 1
have myself seen women at the gaming
tables in Europe; one who was young,
handsome and elegantly attired would
be so absorbed in the play that her face
became rigid and the eyes fixed, and we
are told that there she sat, day after
day, not even excepting the Sabbath.

Enormous Consumption Of Tobacco.


Boston Cor 81. Paul Pioneer Fre5s.I
I was surprised, recently, on being in
formed by prominent tobacco merchant
that where one dollar was spent for
bread in this city eight dollars were
spent for tobacco. OF course I knew
that the consumption Of tobacco was
immense, but l didn't suppose the
proportion between the amount spent
for bread and that spent for the weed
was so striking.

The Resurrection.

Mr.. d. l.. Moody on Thursday even
inS::presched TO an unusually crowded
audience in the First Presbyterian
Of Baltimore, on the resur-
rection Of the body. The Apostles, he
said, built on four corner stones-the
death, burial, resurrection and a.cen-
sion Of Christ. He had met with a
great many people in Baltimore who
believed that death ended all, and II
that was true, what could have been
the object Of the Apostles preaching
the resurrection Of Christ! If there was
no hereafter, what reward could they
have expected by stealing His body, as
was said Of them' If Christ has not
arisen those who have died in the faith
do not exist any longer, and were simp-
ly the victims Of . delusion. II there
Is to be no hereafter w would rather
hate people than love them, and 1t
would bs cruel Of God to give US our
friends for = short time and then take
them away from US forever. There is
no better emblem Of the resurrection
than that which is going on around us.
Death has reigned all winter, but a
life has come at last, and
there will soon BE- nothing but bloom
and fragrance. We ought not to bs
earthly minded and full Of the world,
but should remember that . glorious
morning will yet dawn upon US Every
thing We see teaches US this doctrine.
The butterfly that springs from the
worm, the oak that grows ont Of the
acorn, have been given as if to show
us the truth of the resurrection. We
cannot afford to grov-l in the dust and
cliag only to the dross of earth. The
crowning time and the reward are to
come, and We should press forward to
them. There will be many crownless
christians in Heaven, who barely get
in, but who will receive no reward
TLis is not the place for rest, but for
toll, and the Christian will have all
in which TO enjoy rest.
