The December Vide A~ake will be
specially interesting to its readers because
il contains fine portraits Of two lady artists
who have long made pictures for its pages
Miss Jessie Curtis and Miss l.. b. Humph-
rey--she latter ut work in her studio. The
engraver's work on Miss Curtis portrait is
notably fine. "Kip's Minister" the opening
story, is both funny and pathetic A beauti-
fully illustrated paper follows about the
''Boston Day Nurseries, instituted by Mrs.
Quincy Shaw. "Saarchinkold." long. six
page, funny poem, is also very fully and
strongly illustrated. Three other poems,
"Annis Vane--A. ID. 1865" Miss l.olli-
pops Housekeeping, and "A Pair Of
Heroes" are also admirably illustrated
MIR. Benjamin's closing paper in ''Our Amer
lean Artists" Series, relates to the LADY
Artists of America" and is proGlsely illus
trated with portraits and drawings. Another
paper. probably Of more interest to the BOYS,
is about "Joe, the Chimpanzee," the remark
able little creature for some time the centre
of interest in the British Geological Gar
dens- There are several capital short sto-
ries, "kip's Minister" The Torch Light,
Brigade. the Night-cap String" .How
Freddy's Tooth Was Pulled" etc. The two
serials end the record Of Five Little Pc :
pers.' and Two Young Homesieaders; :" o
this latter story the boys accord the praise
of being the hest serial story ever published
in "HIde irdkc." The attractions for 1881
are very great. and everybody is asked to

The writer also claims that ''the Sen
ate must assert and exercise its undoubt-
cd constitutional prerogative of inquir-
ing into the election of legislative as
semblies, whenever the question is rails
ed in deciding the right of claimant
to seat in the Senate" undoubtedly
a legislative body, seated by fraud and
violence cannot give clear title TO a
seat in the u. :. Senate. 1t is the be-
lief of many of the best men in the
country that the iniquities of the Dem
ocratic party in many parts Of the South
can be- overcome in this manner with
out another appeal to arms and in this
manner. IN time, secure to every citizen,
black and white. the right to cast his
vote as he plcascs and TO have that vote
honestly counted.
When that time comes there will be
more hope of the success of our rcpub-
lican Institutions.

We have been accustomed Ia regard

b. b. REED.

Hon. George :. Boutwell, has furnish
ed an article for the December number
of the North imsricaH Rerieic. on The
Future of the Republican Party. which
undoubtedly expresses the views of the
great majority OF the party at the pres
ent time.
Ostensibly he saws. Gen. Garfield
has been elected on the tariff issue and
this must be leading topic of thought
and oflegislation by the in coming admin
i,tration until the system i perfected
and firmly established in the policy OF
the country" He claims that it is the
duty Of the Republican party to so per-
feet the system a. TO provide revenue
and furnish protection to our industries.
The southern states have always opposed
a revenue designed 10 protect and en-
courage the industry of the states and
this opposition will continue. A. a
National measure il Is liable TO conflict
with their ideas Of the rights of the
State and while the manufacturing in
terests are almost wholly in the North,
the South will oppose any measure
which tends 10 increase the already great
wealth of the North. The writer claims
that il is the imperative necessity Of the
Republican, to break the Solid South as
a means of preserving the industries of
the North.
1T may well be said also that the
time is past for concessions, eosnpro-
misses. Cancellation. We de-
mand full. free vote and an honest
count. Each House of
Congress i. the Judge of the election of
its own members. and a practicable and
not unlikely sufficient remedy for the
ouirages upon the balio:-box in the
South may be found in the consistent.
speedy. and resolute rejection of claim
ants To seats whose record is tainted
with fraud or stained with crime. When
ever il is understood that no person can
be admitted to a seat ia the Senate or
House unless the record of his election is
clear. the character Of the canvasses in
the Gulf States viii undergo change.
1t is too much to anticipate free vote
and an honest count at once. but new
methods would be substituted for the
existing ones. and the change could not
he for the worse. Whenever it is IN
derstsod in the South that an election by
fraud or force will not count in the gov
erament of the country, the South will
be vsrepresented in part, Democratic
districts and Democratic STATES will be
represented, Ssd Republican States aud
Republican dstriets viii be unrepresent-
ed Thus something viii be gained.
