District Of Columbia" This grabbed
to long and angry debate, extending
over several days, in which Garfield
was the chief defender of the Ring.
Under his lead the Republican majority
voted down restrictive amendments
and opened the door to greater plumber.
With this foundation laid, the Ring
next turned to the Senate TO prosecute
their vcnal plans. The Sundry Civil
bill was pending on the 1st of March,
1878, one day before the adjournment,
as Sunday interviewed. Effigy Sargent,
was Chairman of the conference CONT
mittee, and tool of Boss Shepherd.
He reported four amendments for the
Ring asgregating 2,l99, ,5S3. Great in
dignation was excited in the House at
this coercive proceeding. The bill was
postponed till March ), 1873, when
Congress would adjourn. Mr.. Holman
and Others made an effort to reopen
the conference; but it was too late. The
report was sustained under Garfield's
lead. ....,.. -...
Between the Sth of january aud the
81 of March, 1873, Garfield obtained
appropriations for tho Ring amounting
to SO, AL 1882. Who will say he was
not faithful to his contract and did not
earn his 'sfee' of $4,000? Chittenden
value of his position.
1t is a remarkable conincidence that
this barcfaced corruption is legislation
was going on day by day and week by
week, while the Poland committee was
investigating this and other Christian
statesmen, and that Garfield swore as
freely before ihc Glover committee in
regard to the $1,000 bribe in 1877, as he
had sworn before the other in 1872 in
regard to the ton shares of Credit
Mobilier. AS u daring swcrcr in his
own behalf, even with tho official re-
cords to confound his perjury, Garfield
has had few equals and no superiors.-

TIE RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
tNew Orleans Democrat.1

' tNew Orleans Democrat1 I'D. cd.
| In the Democrat yesterday morning
was printed an interesting letter from
our representative in tho national
house, L. w. Robertson, in regard to
what was done by Congress in the
matter of legislation In favor of i'm
proving the Mississippi river. We
know that most of our representatives
have worked hard to secure favorable
action, and Mr.. Robertson deserves tho
thanks of the people of tho whole
! State for the energetic and persistent
manner in which he has endeavored
to overcome the adverse sentiment in
Congress, and to secure aid, not only
for the river, but for tho leVccs, which
are necessary at!juncts to any practical
bic method of improving its naviga-
ton; but it has seemed to US, as year
after year has passed and loft us with
our shattered hopes and dispelled illu-
sions, that something was wrong SOME
where. We have seen an ample and
steady stream of the public funds flow
ing from tho treasury to build up and
improve the North and East and
West; to erect lighthouses, dredge out
unheard of creeks and build costly
breakwatcrs, and we have come to the
conclusion that :he representatives from
tNS toOulu, hOV sAOl1 A/OuAoANuh uAOuCS
are perhaps too modest and shrinking
in their demands. The South has ut
least the right to ask for simple Justice
in the distribution of the funds of the
general government.
If her representatives would take a
decided and determined stand and de-
cline to vote millions for tho other Sec
tions Of the Union until their own Sec |
ton was properly recognized, it Is not
improbable that the effect would be
similar to that which occurred when
Mr.. Reagan, annoyed at the refusal of
tho House to vote for some reasonable
measure for the benefit of Texas,
cvinccd his disp1easure by causing the
whole Texas delegation to vote against
some pet measure of tho majority. Tho
result was almost electrical, and the de-
feated measure WAS suddenly reconsid-
cred. u. ..'
We do not mention this matter in
any spirit of disparagcmcnt of the Of |
forts Of Louisiana's representatives in
Congress; they have not been idle, as
the letter from Mr.. Robertson concIu-
sively shows, but simply to point out
the necessity for change OF policy as
regards securing fair and proper
share Of the funds Of the general gov
crdment for the Improvement of our
streams ana horDOr5, the construction
of lighthouses where they are needed
on tho Southern coast, the creation of
navy yards, etc. ..
We have, ii seems TO us, been humble
and patient suppliants long enough,
and tho time has arrived when wo
should stand for Justice. Being equal,
under tho constitution, with the States
of the North and West, we arc enti-
tied to all the rights and privileges
that they enjoy, and should not per-
nit a discrimination in their favor |
when it comes to the distribution Of
the common funds in tho interest of
commerce. For fifteen years we have
stood quiet while the moneys of tho
government have been poured out for
improvements in other sections, and 1t
is time we insisted upon fair play in
this most important matter.

Effects of Paying Bounties on Fex
and Mink Scalps.

For some months past, says the Phil
adelphia Press, the mysterious disap-
pearance of cats and yellow dogs in
Sunbury, Northumberland County, has
b cen the cause of much discussion.
Venerable cats that were, so to speak,
family heirlooms, would be seen dream
lily reclining on Sunbury porches in the
afternoon, and, in spite of every pre-
caution, would have vanished by sunset,
as if they were of the famous Kilkenny
breed. Local Swans wrestled with the
problem in vain. The Sunday-school
lyceum discussed the matter, and the
local papers were filed with columns of
communications on the subject-but no
light was thrown on the cause. 1t is all
clear now. The County Commission
ers' reports show that over $500 had
been paid out in few months for
bounties on fox and mink scalps, and
returns from several townships show
that the per capita amounts paid just
about equaled the number of missing
pets. Several school districts in remote
parts of the county are yet to be heard
from. There is much excitement over
the discovery.

gree of moisture is essential to Matching
eggs. Setting hens will leave their
nests for shorter periods during the
spring than during the hot weather in
summer.
Chickens Matched in April make bet
ter and more useful birds than those
Matched in July and August. They will
be large enough to broil in midsummer,
at which time they will command the
highest prices. Chickens Matched in
early spring win sell for more when
three or four months old than late
chickens will after they have been fed a
year. The earlier chickens are Matched
the sooner they win be ready for the
market, and the sooner they are in the
market the more money they will bring.
Chickens Matched in April will be more
hardy than those that leave the nest
late in summer. They will learn to take
care of themselves long before the ap-
proach of cold weather, and will often
commence to lay by Christmas. The
first eggs laid by fowls in the spring are
almost always fertile and generally pro-
duce very vigorous birds.-Chicago

Leap-Year Hints.

Girls know only one-quarter as much
about counting as boys, because they
have only one year in four in which they
are allowed to practice.
As a matter of course, leap-year finds
them poorly prepared to "step in and
win," and we will give few hints as to
how it should be done.
First, fix up in style, black your boots
carefully, heels and all, and if the
ssshine - don't come in a hurry, slat
| the brush across the floor into the cor
ner, quoting what scripture you happen
| to know.
Twill be big job to put on your
collar and necktie, and the chances are
that there will be more looking in the
glass than in the case of fellow coming
to see you.
Stroll down to the barber-shop and
get shaved, and have the barber "oil
up'' freely, otherwise all efforts to
grease the wall paper will be futile.
On the way to &c his house speak to
all the fellows you know; this is a good
point and the only way to pay him back
for flirting with the girls for three years.
As you near the house, cross the street
and pass by it. This will give you a
chance to see if the parlor is lighted and
to surmise if any other girl is calling.
If, when you step up and pull the
door-bell your heart is not in your
mouth, you've struck the wrong house.
Inquire if the young gentlemen are in,
and-don't forget and wear your hat,
hang it up on the piano or the floor, or
some other place.
Chew cloves assiduously during the
call; otherwise she - may think you've
been drinking.
If he is a little timid blushing thing,
talk about the weather, his ma, his pa,
and other distant subjects.
If he plays and sings, stand up like a
little man and turn the music-we don't
refer to an orguinette.
He'll probably yawn and cover up an
immense cape with his jeweled hand;
but don't take the hint.
Playfully turn the gas down, he'll
probably say 6 Oh, you shouldn't" but
recollect how he "doused the glim" last
year.
You don't need to say much at this
point. Conversation is apt to be a
nuisance at critical junctures.
Previous experience will doubtless
suggest the course of events for the rest
of the evening.
When the old lady calls out "It's 10
O'clock don't mind it, wait till she
calls II and II, in fact stay till you hear
the milkman rafting his cans.
Ask for match to light your cigar,
linger at the door half an hour longer,
make him think that he is your own and
only-and 60 and see another fellow the
next evening.-New Haven Register.

American watches.

The American Watch Company of Waltham
received last week an order from the British
Government for 372 watches, intended for the
use Of conductors, engineers, station-masters
and other employees Of the state railroads of
India. This is the third large order received
by the company from the same source, and,
like the former ones, was obtained in public
competition with foreign manufacturers. The
London ''Jeweller and Metal-Worker," in its
issue OF January Is, observes, in reference to
this order:
"The contract for watches, to be used by
the officials on the Indian state railways, has
again been secured by the American Watch
Company. This is the third time Messrs. Rob
bins Il Appleton have received this distinction,
which is not barren one, for it must be evil
dent to the most prejudiced individuals that
the timekeepers supplied on the previous oc-
casion must have given satisfaction, and an
swered the tests required of them. This is q
Notifying fact for Englishmen, especially for
those who believe that were manufacturers
here to show more enterprise they would be
able to compete advantageously in the manu-
facture of all grades OF watches. "-Boston
Advertiser.
