they may no longer be subjected to the dis

There seems to be no doubt that q. Wash
Jones, of Texas, who was elected as an indie
pendent Congressman from that State, will
act with the Greenbackers in the next Con-
gress. Mr.. Jones SO announced himself the
other day while on a visit to Galveston. He
was Greenbacker, he declared, and would
act throughout with that party. He claimed
that from twenty-five to twenty -seven mem
bers Of the Forty-sixth Congress would act

the States. Nevertheless. Congress consented
TO modify the law, and accordingly In 1873,
before the act went into effect, 1t amended tho
foregoing section 80 as not to apply TO any
State that has not yet changed Its day OF
election, and whose constitution must be
amended In order to affect change In the
day of the election OF State officers"
In Iowa the day OF election, neither Tor
State officers nor for members OF Congress, Is
fixed by the constitution Of the State, but
merely by I'm act OF the Legislature, and con
seauently may be changed at the Legislative
will. In fact the time for holding these cleo
lions was changed In 1874 by an act OF the
Legislature In order to make them conform to
the act of Congress Of 1873, and the members
Of the just expired Congress were voted for
and elected In 1876 ON the Tuesday following
the first Monday Of November OF that year. In
accordance with the act OF Congress. What

other day than that named In the act OF Con-
gress would be- Illegal null and void. The
Governor, however, persisted and refused to
call an election In November. In view Of the
| fact that Congress ls the sole Judge Of the
election Of It's members, and that the then
sitting Congress had passed directly on this
question adversely to his position, his action
was truly inexplicable.

The Khedive of Egypt is a bold, If not a
wise, potentate. The consuls Of England and
France recently sent him a joint note to the
effect that although the reappointment to
Office of the recently deposed minister, Nubar
Pasha, was not absolutely demanded. it was
very strongly desired, and If the wishes OF
the powers were not respected, and the new
ministry proved a failure, the Khedive would
be held responsible for it. This responsible
ty the Egyptian ruler promptly accepted and
refused to return Nubar to Office. An early
occupation OF the country by the English and
French troops, and a parceling of it out
among the invaders is, therefore, among the
possibilities of the near future. 1t may safe
Iy be assumed that their warning was in

either of them TO overtake him. 1t is true
that Ennis Is steadily lessening the distance

The Greenbackers have set about their
scheme of capturing the organization OF the
new House. They claim to hold the balance
of power, and under many fine phrases fail to

goes right along. 1t is we'll established now
that the party caucus will name the Speaker
and other officers, and, as may be expected,

the Greenbackers are in the field. The adj

the bugs are likely to be found. Then take a
pan or kettle half full of ashes. and put a shovel
full of hot coles on top of them. Throw into the
coles one tablespoonful of cayenne pepper. Let
this remain in the room you wish to fumugate
about an hour, being careful to close all the doors
and windoes and do not leave any living thing,
either plant or animal in the rooms, that you do
not wish killed. Two or three thorough appli-
cation of this kind will rid any house of bed
bugs, no matter how badly infested. 2. Take
one pint of turpentine, one pint of alcohol, and
one ounce of gum camphor dessolSe the camphor
in the alcohol, and then add the turpentine,
shaking well before using use Jorge size sewing
