aItorether without authority OF law.
The scid elections have no more
validity than If they had been held in May
or june, or any other month. IheY were
held in contempt OF the law OF the United
stotes. and ought to be treated by the Clerk
as mere nuliities. We say by The Clerk; FOR
If after the House is organized it shall APP

elections were fair, and expressed tue Will Oh
the people, it will be within its powers 10

law.
The precedent which Mr.. ADAMS, the
present Clerk, will be governed by II he
takes the course whlch be ought to take,
was made by Mr.. MCPHERSON, one OF the
best rarlamentarians Though this IS ont
side of the natter and ablest clerks which
the House OF Representatives ever had;
and he is a stalwart Republican, too. He
excluded all the southern representatives.
elect from his list in 1865, though they
were regularly elected, and, at the
times fixed by law. We do not
choose to argue the question OF his
right to do as he did. Suffice it to shy
that he was fully justified IN it by the Re-
publican House, and that all the evils OF re-
construction were due to that one act OF
Clerk Mcpherson. IL does not lie in the
mouth OF any Republican TO say one word
apai.st Mr.. AGAMs's right to exercise the
samc.power. Let the Democrats object If
they will, but let 10 Republican open his
mouth Oh the subject.

A sense of duty often causes some ludicrous

A sense of duty often causes some ludicrous mistakes, as the following story will illustrate: Near Dumfries lived pious family who had adopted an orphan who was regarded as half witted. He had imbibed strict views on reli- gious matters, however, and once asked his adopted mother if she did not think it wrong for the people to come to church and fall asleep, paying no better regard to the service. She replied, she did. Accordingly, before go- ing to church, the next Sunday, he filled his pockets with apples. One bald-headed old man, who invariably went to sleep during the sermon, particularly attracted his attention. Seeing him at last nodding and giving nasal evidence of being in the Hand of dreams" he struck the astounded sleeper blow with an apple on the top of his bald pate. The minis ter and aroused congregation at once turned round and gazed indignantly at the boy, who merely said to the preacher, as he took another apple in his hand, with sober, honest expres- sion of ceuntenance ''You preach; I'll keep lem awake"
