The report of the minority of the Teller
investigating committee reviews the te5ti-
mony of ninety-one Witnesses in Louisiana
and one hundred and seven in South
Carolina. 1t states that the frauds in
South Carolina were by the use of tissue
ballots and extended TO every county in
the state but one, and between thirty and
forty murders were committed in Louis
iana. The committee say that there APP
pears to be Widespread determ' nation in
these states to restrict freedom of speech
AS to political questions, upon the claim
that the discussion of the relations of Ia
Dor to capital and employers and employees,
and other kindred subjects, is calculated
to array the colorel people against the
whites, and thus endlnger the safety OF
the people. All attacks made on colorcd
people have heen attempte to be excused
on the ground that colored people made
threats against the whites. No prosecution
has been instituted by South Carolina
against the violntors OF her laws and no
effort has been made to punish the men
who thus wanionly outraged her citizens
In Louisiana boh violence and fraud were
extensively used In South Carolina fraud
was more largely relied on. In both states
these agencies were used not only against
the candidates Of tho republican par
ty, but ais, against all candidates OPP
posed to tho regular democratic candi-
dates. The committee declare that the
time has come when congress should
exercise the power it clearly possesses in
by law for fair and free cleo
lion of members Of congress.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1879.
The Coming Session.

Though the country has failed to make
an Oliver of itself and "cry for more " Of
congressional work and talk, it is to have
an extra session of the forty sixth con-
gress to be called probably to meet on the
18th of this month.
This session is made necessary by the
failure TO pass the legislative and army
appropriation bills. OF course each party
accuses the other Of being the cause of the
failure. The democrats insisted on certain
things such as the repeal of the test oath
law and some of the laws regarding cleo
tons. These things the republicans OPP
posed when tackled on other bills and
pointed to the fact that n republican Sen.
ate had sent 10 the House this very winter
a bill repeating the test oath law.
1t is said that the president will veto the
river and harbor bill and SO for the present
kill the jobs contained in it. And the
Chinese bill the president has also placed
his veto upon and when it went to the
House the vote upon it, 100 10 95, failed tc
pass it over his veto. The Roach subsidy
bill for Brazilian steamers was also killed
in the House.
The failure Of the two great appropria
ton bills, and the veto of the river and
h1rbor bill together with the increasing
tendency to bitter political discussion will
make the coming session an interesting il
not profitable one. The democrats will
have coutrol of both Houses for we have
no faith in the statements that any green
buck combination or dissatisfaction with
Speaker Randall in his own party will
prevent his prompt reelection as speaker
or the full control of the House by DEM
ocratic party vote or any question where
party lines are drawn.
The bitter debates in the Senate neal
the close of the last session, In which sew
oral ex-confederates saw fit 10 say that
JEFF Davis was guilty of nothing beyond
what they had themselves done are very
likely TO renew themselves in a session
coming SO soon upon the close of the pres
ent ono. All this will satisfy love of ex.
element but will do tie country little
good.

1t is now stated that the population Of
China is 347, 1856, 900. living on an area o.
1,354,000 square miles, which counts 25t
persons to square mile. The fertility Of
the soil greatly SURPRISES that of New
England; and with the fragal habits of the
Chinese, it is certain that their numbers
might be greatly increased without
exhausling the capacity of the soil. The
famine which prevailed there last yea,
was exceptional, and is now nearly at an
end.

ssWfthOut Malice,

During slavery owned one of the blacklist as
we'll as meanest negro men in South Arkansas.
He was known in the neighborhood as Crow
Sam. / used to thrash Sam about twice o week.
Steal! He'd steal from himself, and then deny
it. Well, when the war came on be was one of
the first to turn against me. He went into the
army and served till the surrender. After peace
was made moved over into an adjoining Coun-
ty, and went to work, trying to repair my brOk-
en- fortune. One day negro that had work.
ing for me knocked down one of my horses,
which SO enraged me that struck him several
times with my cane. He went away and return
ed with q constable, who summoned me to ap-
pear next day before the magistrate. Officers
were not quite SO numerous then as now, and
the magistrates Office was several miles away.
Well, sir, when got there, who should see on
the bench but old Crow Sam. When everything
had been made ready, court was opened, and
old Sam, giving me a searching look, remarked !:
"'Pears that I've seed you afore."
"Look here, SAM" said, II don't like to be
mixed up this way. Try to settle this affair
without malice"
"De law is gwine to bab its direck course, "
said Sam. Things hab kinder changed since
we was in business together, but the principles
of de nigger haven't revoluted. Dis nigger is
as big rascal as l used to be, SO Mars John, III
discharge you, flinging de black ape in de cost"

A Wonderful story.

A Kansas man makes known through the me-
dunn of the press that one IF his heus recently
laid an egg containing the legend, "war $780,
Some persons out there think the man lies-but
he doesn't. Hens often lay such prophetic eggs;
hehs il will be believed when We state that a
Norristown hen laid an egg ten inches around
the waist, which not only prophesied general
war in 1885," but contained very elaborate
and artistic war map, battle scene on the 9TH
er side, aud picture of newspaper cores
pondent writing up the battle for the Herald on
the taperng end The hen is doing as well as
could be expected under the circumstances, and
so are we. Persons who doubt this story can
see a feather of the hen by calling at this Office
after business hours. Business hours, from u.

train from Euston square sat two gentleman, up
to that time, and probably since, strangers to
each other. The elder lived near Crewe, the
younger, EN- route for Ireland, intended to sleep
at Chester. The conversation between them
grew animated. Saith the elder presently,
"Give up your idea Of sleeping at Chester, aud do
me the honor of passing the night at my house,"
The offer was accepted with grateful effusion.
On leaving in the morning, said the guest, San

KING CHARLES THE SIMPLE AND HIS Fool
This good fellows influence was great. that
Charles, King of France, once remarked to him,
that he thought they had better change places.
As Jean did not look well pleased at the propo-
sal, Charles asked him if he were content at the
idea of being a King. ''Oh, content enough, was
the reply; "but should he exceeding ashamed
of having such fool, 1t was this fool who
once tried his masters pereve, by rushing into
his room one morning, with the exclamation
"Oh, sire, snch news! Four Thousand men have
risen in the cityr' .sWhatr' cried the startled
King "with what intention have they risen 7"
swell, said Jean, placing his finger upon his
nose, probably with the intention of lying
down again at ed-time."

FROST BITTEN-Frost bitten plants may be
revived if properly treated. The proper way is,
when the frost has been partially drawn out Of
them, naturally, to drench them with cold wa
ter from fpe-nosed watering-pot, and imme
diately cover again and let them SO remain IN
til they regain their natural color. When they
arc removed, clip off all such parts as are black
ened. As soon as it is discovered that plant
has been touched by frost, remove it to . cool
dark room, and on no account suffer the sun to
shine upon it, If they can be covered so as to
exclude air as well rs light, it is better still.
Dshlias and the like need not be removed until
the frosts are severe enough to blacken the
leayee.

CRANBERRY JELLY.-Put one quart of cram
berries, which have been carefully picked over,
to boil in one pint cold water; have ready in a
bowl ops pint white sugar; when the cranber-
ries are perfectly soft, mash them while hot
through q colander into the bowl which con-
tains the sugar, and stir until the sugar is dis.
solved then pour into molds and set in cool
place for at least twenty four hours. If the
cranberries are good, and no more water is
used than the receipt calls for, this way of
cooking them makes beautiful molds for the
table,
