- The Senate committee on elections
last Tuesday voted to report in favor OF
giving the scat of Senator Kellogg Of
Louisiana TO Spollord. The testimony
in the case shows that mono of the
charges of bribery against Senator
Kellogg were sustained, and hence
the ousting of Mr.. Kellogg is simply a
wanton and reckless abuse Of voting
power for the sake of strengthening the
Democratic side of the Senate for des-
perate work. Whom the vote on the
matter was taken, Senator lIoar, who
is "a member of the committee, in a
brief but emphatic speech denounced
the act as one of the greatest outragcs
ever proposed in civilized country,
and that it was Of a piece with the 9TH
er great Democratic crimes, the firing
on Fort Sumter, the cipher conspira-
cy, and the attempt TO steal the state
of Maine. 1t was, he said, 4 Gisclos-
ure of the lengths to which the Demo
cratic party are willing to 90 to get in
TO absolute power, aud it doubtless
formed part of tho conspiracy which
they had already entered into to steal
the next presidency. The next move
on the Democratic program will I'M
doubleday be 10 steal The seats Of Repre-
s,ntatives Orth Of Indiana and Wash

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

A right to watch when others sleep,
To soothe the bed of PAIN,
To cause the weary, troubled heart
To wake to hope again.
To bring soft influence to bear
Upon earth's bitter strife,
And strew with flowers of Paradise
The beaten tracks of life.
To make of home beacon light
In sorrows stormy day,
Where tossed and troubled ones will
turn
Fond thoughts>when far away.
To guide the early steps of youth
And chiIdhood's budding years !;
And, like her Lord, with gentle hand,
To dry the falling tears.
Who would exchange these charities
For any glittering crown,
Or covet in their place debate,
Or plaud1ts long and loud?
Not in the earthquake nor the wind
Was felt the moulding power;
Twas in the still small voice it came
In that calm, solemn hour.
Noiseless the root1ess grow apace,-
We see them not nor hear;
The dew tails silently, the sun
Shines, and the flowers appear.
Brave hearts, bear up, be patient now
The reaping-time will come;
Root up the weeds, sow the good
seed
In that dear field, your home.

A Nice Law Point.

The next sitting of the Supreme
Court will be called upon to de-
cided the folio wing perplcxing
question arising in our late term
of Superior Court. Jacob Webbcr
died few minutes before the Jury
returned a finding of all issues in
his favor in his absolute divorce
suit. When his attorneys drew up
decree in accordance with the
finding and offered it for the Judges
signature, objection was made to
his signing, by attorneys for the
defence, on the ground that it was
personal suit, died with the plain
tiff, and that plaintiff, being "a dead
man, was not in court.
Plaintiffs counsel responded
that by fiction Of law a plaintiff in
in court on the first day of term
remained therein that all jndg-
nents and DEGREES were taken as
the first day of the term.
Adroit and able arguments were
made by both sides, but Judge

cabinet to-day there was quite y
lengthy discussion as 10 the accu=
INFLATED silver in the treasury, tho

that there were now over forty
millions of standard silver dollars
in the treasury vaults and 1t was
accnlating at the rate of about a
million IN o n h. Secretary
Evarts, who is a good deal of ~

ont was to pay it out. Mr.. Sher=
man said they had tried all plans,
but that the silver streaul pouring

the stream they had been ahle to
direct outward. No conclusioH

Recently an English Missionary
in India has published book, call
ing attention to the course pursued
by the Imperial Government as
tending to foster anj propagate
Hindu Idolatry. In all the Gov
erpment schools, he says, "the fol.
lies and filth of one OF the most vile
and vicious histories of the god
Krishna" are freely taught, and
very often by Brahmiu employed
by the Government. But, while
the heather gods are thus honored
in all the Government educational
institutions, the Christian Bible is
excluded and every "Chlistian al
lusiou" is carefully weeded out OF
the Government school-books. The
Missionary also complains of the
frequent absence of an allusion to
God in the Governments dealings
with the beatben population. and
denounces the authorities for then
disregard Of the Sabbath in per-
mittipg work on Government

The Spread of Mohammedanism.

In Africa the Arab missionaries
are indefatigable; they penetrate
into regions which no European
has. ever seen, and they convert
whole tribes at once, raising those
tribes, it should be added, decided
ly in the scale of civilization. A
Houssa, for example, is far hey yond
any other negro Of the western
coast. There is more than posi-
bility, a strong probability, that
they will before many generations
have elapsed, have converted all
the remaining Pagan tribes of At
RIGA, and have made that continent,
Abyssinia excepted, Mussulman
from the Mediterranean to the
Zambesti, and possibly, though
that is different question, have
built up very extensive Kingdoms.
In Arabia the creed tends constant
ly to become more fanatical and
earnest. In India, as is now well
understood from the census records,
Mussullnan expansion never ceases.
Their peculiar philosophy, with its
sovereign. deity unbound even by
his own laws, soul source of right,
as we'll as sole claimant of loyalty,
attracts the Indian minds; while
their dogma OF equality within the
suffer day by day from the pressure
of the social hierarchy. A pariah
who becomes Mussulman becomes
respectable man. 1t was stated
J forty years ago by very acute mis-
sionaries that Islam gained more in
India than it lost in the remainder
of the world Sir George Camp
bell officially declared that Bengal
was becoming Mussulman prov.
ince, with Hindus interspersed
and in Madras whole villages be
come Mussulman at once.
There must be more than 50,-
100000 Mussulmans In India
the conversions have gone OIL
throughout the great Hindus revi
val which has attended our rule
and the possibility that all lndia
might become Mussulman has beer
repeatedly discussed. Our owl
J imCression is, we confess, tha
this will be the case; that this form
Of theism has for dark races az at
traction which the Gospel has no
and that the death blow of the old
est Paganism will cone not from
It Christianity. but from tie onl,
form Of monotheisn u which Indian
seem able both to comprehend an,

"Negro- National Republican Com-
mittee" has issued an address re-
garding Senator Bruce and the
vice-Presidency. 1t says:
''Tn presenting the name of Mfr.
Bruce for the yice-President we are
confdeHt that his nomination will
bring strength and success to the
party. You should support him, not
because he is a negro gentleman, but
because his record is consistent
For years he has been the only Re
publican Senator from the Southern
section where the party has lost con-
troll and hundreds of thousands OF
citizens arc on the verge of disfran-
chisement, who occupies his place
without question, and that his official
conduct is without reproach and ap-
proved by all parties, while his po.
litical vote bas been Invariably cast
with the Republican party, is fact.
His nomination would raise the issue
whether or not it is possible for the
Democratic party to lay down the
unconstitutional premise year after
year that minorities compel MAORI
ties in eleven States, forming an en-
tire section Of the Union. His nomi-
nation would give new life and vigor
to 100000 Republican votes in the
Southern section. 1t would give en-.
thusiasm to the balance OF power oi
$4,000 Republican voters in the
State of Ohio and to.a similarly sig
niticant Republican element in the
pivotal State of New York and in the
States of Indiana, New Jersey, Con.
necticut and so on. The nomination
of Mr.. Bruce would culminate the
ilea of Horace Greeley, of Thaddeus
Stevens, of Abraham Lincoln, o
Charles Sumner. Ulysses Grant, oil
James G Blaine, of John Sherman
and, indeed, of the great Republican
party-and relieve the nation at once
Of the question Of caste in American
politics. Horace Greeley said of tn.
finance, the way to .'resume is tt

derstand that the way to execute thu
Constitution and tho laws Is to show
determination to execute them. Thi
we say to the party and the nation

The Cincinnati Southern Rail
way company have made a general
reduction of passenger rates, to run
until July 9th. Fares throughout
the line are to be two cents per
mile. This reduces the rates to all
points in the South, and may be
the beginning of war of rates
between the Cincinnati Southern
and its competitors.
