Legislative bodies now in session in
many of the States are being canvassed
on the Presidential question. In New
York, of one hundred and fous Repub-
lican legislators. Grant was the first
choice OF forty six. and the second
choice ofa.l but one man. This creates
no surprise, as the members of the Leg
isiature were generally selected by
Conkling,. who. at tho time they were
nominated, was an avowed third term
er. An expression Of opinion ON the
part Of the California Legislature last
week shows an entirely different feel
Ing on the third-term question. The
preferences of the members OF the As

( will be observed that one. Republican
prefers Thurman to any candidate yet
named by his own party, while four

aged at Hong Kong. According to the
provisions OF an Act of Congress, no
Chinese are permitted to sail from
China to the United States unless the
United States Consuls at the ports Of
departure certify that they Voluntarily
leave the Flowery Kingdom. The Con-
suls are authorized to collect fees for
giving certificates to that effect, por-
ton Of which are to be credited to the
United States Government. Mosby
writes that the ceremony of examining
the Chinese emigrants was a. farce, and
merely means of collecting fees which
the Consuls pocketed. Ga the day be-
fore a vessel with Chinese emigrants
was to leave, the Consul was informed
that at certain hour tae emigrants
would be ready on board for examina-
ton. At the appointed time Peter
Smith, an illiterate keeper Of a sailor S
boarding house, appeared on the vessel
with a Consular seal, and the en1igrants
were marched before him in review,
and each ones ticket stamped with the
seal, to certify that he was voluntarily
leaving his native land. The farce was
generally concluded in less than an
hour and the coolies, with tickets show
ing that they were voluntary emigrants,
sailed for San Francisco Mosby fur
ther asserts that the Act prohibiting
the importation Of Chinese lewd women
into the United States was simply
made cover for exaction, it being
generally understood that any woman
could procure a Consular certificate by
paying the Consul premium of ten or
fifteen dollars.
Mosby has shoxn that dishonest OF
ficials at Hong Kong have materially
aided Chinese immigration to Califor-
MIA, and that the traffic in lewd women,
who are shipped like cattle to San
Francisco TO be sold to the highest bid
der, can be greatly restricted, if not
wholly suppressed, by the Unised
States Consnls. if they enforce the Laws
of Congress.

A DEADLY ENCOUNTER On
Tuesday Charley Chenoweth had
an adventure, which but for his
cooluess, might have been Sc
rious affair to him. A large "three
prong buck" was driven in by
the hounds to the stand" where
Charley was located, and coming
in easy range he opened fire, the
first shot lAking. effect in the neck.
But the gun having been loaded
with bird shot the wound did not
prove fatal. The deer retreated
and Charley followed and kept
firing away until he had shot four
times. By this time the deer was
goaded to madness. and turn ing,
charged down upon its euemy
with deadly intent. Alone in an
open field with no friendly trees
in reach and his gun unloaded,
the situation was critical. To run
was to be overtaken and treated
to a thorn" or two that was not
at all desirable. In this emereen-
cy Charley stood his ground and
when the deer was jus. ready to
elevate him in life, he brought his
gun down on his head with force
enough to knock it down, and be.
fore it could recover, he had COM
pleted the work with his knife.
The gun was pretty seriously
demoraIized. - Randolph Enter

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY.

1t is not long since the Jeanette
steamed out of the harbor of San
Francisco, bound on the benevolent
purpose of rescuing human beings
imprisoned and perhaps starving in
the ice of the Arctic Ocean. The
Jeanette had fine, gallant crew,
whose lives were as valuable to
themselves and their relatives and
friends as the lives of any on board
of the lost whalers. But they gen.
erously placed their lives in jeopardy
on the remote chances of affording
relief to the Arctic prisoners. But,
so far as is known, the Jeanette
has not succeeded in accomplishing
the purpose it had in view. Instead,
it is itself prisoner, and presumably
in need of relief. A good many kind
hearted people want to fit out an
other relief ship to go in search of
the Jeanette. Now, these relief
expeditions are very fine in theory.
AS a practical question, however,
there is room for argument as to the
propriety Of encouraging such costly
exhibitions of devotion. The dollars
and cents that may be wasted will
not be lost to industry, but thought
should be given to the brave men
who may be induced to offer their
lives sacrifice by the appeals of in
considerate humanitarians who will
take good care to remain at home.
The enemy it is proposed to fight is
not one to be overcome by numbers.
The Arctic Seas can hold a hundred
Jeannettes as firmly and as easily
as one. The relief falls into the
same deadly trap as those for whom
relief was intended. The hope Of
affording relief is at best remote,
while the certainty of mourning like
dangers is as absolute as death itself
Relief expeditions have been con-
Quoted somewhat on the lost sheep
plan. The ninety-nine in the fold
have been held as valueleSs compared
to the one which had wandered off.

The Dog Law. Again.

We have frequent instances Of
the destruction of sheep by uogs
in this county. We hear of one
farmer losing twenty-five, another
fOrty-seven, another ten and 9TH
erS less number. Cannot a stop
be put to this? Sheep husbandry
is among the most valuable de-
partments of agriculture. Berke-
ley county is admirably adapted
to that industry. We know that
we have been retarted in this
county by fear of dogs. Cannot
the sense of self-interest and coun-
ty pride be sufficiently awakened
to give proper protection to this
important industry. - MARTINS
BURG INDEPENDENT.
Such facts as are set forth in the
above paragraph ought to be sutfi-
cient to inspire another agitation
of the question of a dog law, this
winter.
West Virginia is just now TAX
ing fresh start in the business of
sheep husbapdry. Some very cost
ly specimens have been imported
into the State within the last year
or two-too costly to be subjected
to the risk of being destroyed by
worthless ours.
The disposition Of our people to
engage largely in sheep husband
ry starts up periodically, and as
often gets backset by the whole
sale destruction of their flOcks -
The same result may follow the
present boom, unless the dog law
is made effective We don't think
the present law is regarded as suf-
ticient, and it would not be amiss
to take a firmer grip upon the des-
troyer's throat at this session of
the Legislature Wheeling Regis

CONTESTED SEATS.

1t is quite time to adopt new
rule to govern proceedings in refer
erence to contested Congressional
seats. The custom now is to pay
both OF the claimants and seat the
one who is in political accord with
the majority. In cases where the
equities are so evidently on the other
side that vote could not be obtain
ed confirming the claim of a party
associate, the matter will be com.
promised by letting the case remain
in the hands of a committee until
just before the expiration of the
Congress to which both claim to
have been elected. The complaints
Of the rightful claimant, who has
been kept out of his seat, will be
silenced in most cases by allowing a
liberal mileage'and bill of expenses,
besides full salary for the time he
was kept out. The other party,
meantime, had the vote, which was
all they cared for. In the next Con-
gress there will be a large number of
contested seats. AS the Republi-
cans are certain to control the or
ganization, none but Republicans or
Greenbackers will enter notices of
contest. In a list Of ten or twelve
seats to be contested there is not one
Democrat who proposes to present
his claim to a Republican House.
The Democrats know that they gave
their opponents no show when they
had majority, and expect no mercy
now. A set Of rules might be adopt
