An Investigation Republicans Do Not
Like. |
The New York Iribatue saw /:


up to this time it would be difficult to pick
out any single fact discovered by Senator
Voorhees, which tends TO show that the exodus
had political origin, or that it ia matter
which a Congressional comnaittee has any good
reason for Investigating"
To call things by their right names,
this is an impudent falsehood. One
witness, colored Republican, and ed
itor of Republican paper in Wishing
ton, testified that he assisted in the
organization of the Emigration Aid So
ciety in that city; that at meeting
held soon after the organization =
speech was made urging the sending of
the emigrants to Indiana, because :"
would be close State next fall;'' that
this speech was indorsed by the major
ity OF the managers, and the witness
left the society on that account. His
statements have never been denied,
much less refuted. Another witness
testified that he was told by a promi-
nent Republican of Indiana, whom he
named, that enough negroes would be
brought into the county-a doubtful
one-to beat the Democracy at the next
election. This statement has never
been denied, much less refuted. An
affidavit of a colored emigrant was pro-
duced which declared that he had re-
CcIFCel lHSCl CluCtIouS W SoG dS 1lldHt
North Carolina negroes into Indiana
as possible by the 1st of June, so that
they could vote in November. This
affidavit has never been denied, much
less refuted.
Here, then, are three facts s'discov-
cred by Senator Voorhees, which
prove the political origin and object
of the exodus beyond any reasonable
doubt. The public does not forget then
as easily as the Tribune thinks; and we
may remark, the public is thoroughly
convinced that the exodus is g a matter
which Congressional committee ha,
good reason for investigating.'' The
trouble is with the Tribune and othe
Republican organs that the investiga

exodus, and showing that for purel,
partisan purposes the engineers of thi
movement are willing to thrust car

A Native American Elephant.

On Wednesday of last week one of the
seven large performing elephants be-
longing to circus whose winter quarters
are at Philadelphia, gave birth to female
baby elephant, which is alive and doing
we'll The event is remarkable not only
because it is the first case of the birth of
an elephant in this country, but it is
comparatively rare for one to be born of
domesticated parents in any country.
They are usually caught wild and sub
dued. The newcomer is thirty-five inches
in height, weighs 2134 pounds, and
measures four feet six inches from base
of trunk to base of tail, and three feet
eleven and half inches around the body.
The mother and father are aged respect
lively twenty-forr and twenty-six years,
and weigh about 7,900pounds each. The
youngster, whose commercial value is
estimated at high figure, is strong and
active, and it is believed can be raised.
The mother seems proud of her offspring,
and is nervous and excited when it is not
by her side. 1t takes its nourishment by
the mouth and not by the trunk, as many
would suppose who have seen elephants
drink.

Newly Married Couples.

IT Is the happiest and most virtuous
state of society in which the husband
and wife set out together, make their
property together, and with perfect SYM
pathy of soul, graduate all their expen-
ses, plans, calculations and desires with
reference to their present means and to
their future and common interest.
Nothing delights man more than to
enter the neat little tenement of the
young people, who, within, perhaps. two
or three wears, without any resources but
their own knowledge of industry, have
Joined heart and hand, and engage to
share together the responsibilities duties,
interests, trials and pleasures Of life. The
industrious wife is cheerfully employing
her hands in domestic duties, putting her
house in order or mending her husbands s
clothes, or preparing dinner, while, per-
haps, the little darling sits prattlng on
the floor or lies sleeping in the cradle,
and everything seems preparing to well
come the happiest of husbands and the
best of fathers when he shall come home;
from his toll to enjoy the sweets of his
little paradise.
This is the true domestic. pleasure.
Health, contentment, love, abundance
and bright prospects are all here. But it
has become prevalent sentiment that
man must acquire his fortune before he
marries; that the wife must have no SYM
pathy, nor share with him in the pursuit
of it-in which most of the pleasure truly
consists sand the young married people
must set out with as large and expensive
an establishment as is becoming those
who have been welded for twenty years.
This is very unhappy; it fills the commu-
nifty with bachelors, who are waiting to
make their fortunes, endangering vir-
tue, promoting vice; it destroys the true
economy and design of the domestic in
stitution, and it promotes inefficiency
among females, who are expecting to be
taken up by fortune and passively sus-
tanned without any care or concern on
their part, and thus many wife be-
comes, as a gentleman once remarked,
not ''helpmate," but "helpeat. ~

The Infamous Election Laws.

The following is q summary OF
Justice Fields dissenting opinion upon
the United States election laws, whose
constitutiOnality was recently sustained
by the Unit3 States Supreme Court:
He maintains that the United States
Circuit Court never had jurisdiction to
trv the prisoner Clarke for the alleged
offense of which he was convicted; /;
first, because it is not competent for
Congress to punish State officer for
the manner in which he discharges the
duties imposed upon him by the laws
of the State; and, second, because it is
not competent for Congress to dele
gate any portion of its legislative
power to the States. In support of the
first position, he maintains that, al
though Congress may adopt law of a
State, the adopted law must be en-
forced as a law of the United States.
In the present case there is no pretense
of such adoption. 1t is for the viola
ton of State law, not law of the
United States, that punishment is pre-
scribed, and the judicial power of the
United States does not extend to a case
of that kind. 1t extends only to
"cases in law and equity arising under
the Constitution and laws of the
United States" and to certain
other cases which the Constitution
enumerates. 1t may be applied to
new cases as they arise under the
Constitution and laws of the United
States, but it cannot be enlarged by
Congress SO as to embrace cases not
enumerated in the Constitution. This
limitation of the Congressional power
would seem to be conclusive in the
present case. But, he argues, there is
another view of the subject, which is
equally conclusive against the jurisdic.
ton of the Federal Courts. The act oi
Congress asserts power inconsistent
with, and destructive of, the indepeHd.
ence of the State in matters over which
their authority has never been surren.

punish violation of the laws of State,
it may also punish obedience to Them
and graduate the punishment according
to its own Judgment of their propriety
and wisdom. 1t may thus exercise {

Nervous Men.

Although women are usually con-
sidered to be more nervous than men,
they certainly fdget less. Put an
equal number of men and women to sit
for half an hour upon arm-chairs with
loose chintz covers and antimacassars.
When the women rise the general ap-
pearance of their seats will be little
altered; but when the men leave their
chairs there will remain visible evil
dence of a screw-like action upon the
chintz, and it will be a miracle if half
the antimacassars are not torn from
their places; or, if lady and gentle
man converse together beside draw
ing room table covered with knick-
knacks, the former will not touch them,
but the latter will select some object
and nervously play with it in mean
ingless manner. One of the most
wearisome and provoking forms of
fdgetiness is that known as pacing
the quarter-deck,s ~ in which the offender
traces and retraces short space of
ground or carpet like a wild beast at
the geological gardens when feeding
time draws near. In this habit, and in
many of the other ways in which man
can show that he has got what children
term GO the fidgets in the legs he has
the powel. of making an intolerable
nuisance of himself. The arch-fdget
of history was the great Napoleon. Not
only did he pace up and down, but he
whitfield chairs and tables, and did
other naughty things for which a judi
cious nurse would have tied up his
hands in fingerless gloves. Such habits
are but forms of nervousness, and it is
certain that Napoleon was essentially a
nervous man. OF all minor forms of
the malady the most serious in its re-
suits of social torture is that which
manifests itself in what is vulgarly
known as "the DEVILS tattoo" Who
shall describe the horrors of this evil
habit? An organ grinder is an enemy
to mankind, but the tattoo beater surely
owes his origin to something worse
| than human. For such criminals, and
indeed for most men who are given to
making morning calls, we would sug-
gest that digitoriums should be pro-
vided in every drawing room. These
harmless instruments might then be the
means, like scientific toys, of combining
amusement with instruction.-Art In

bore him seventeen children. She pre-.
scented him with twins in the first yeai
of their marriage. The next yeas
another pair Of twins was born. Every
year for four years thereafter Mrs. Hep
ner gave birth to triplets. The seventh
year was signalized by the birth Of
only one child to the couple. Mr.. Hep
ner's seventeen children, the oldest
only 7 years Of age, were taken in
charge three months after Mrs. Hep.
ner's death by young German lady,
who became the second Mrs. Hepner
The first Mrs. Hepner died in Fsbru-
&,y, 1S4s. In February, 1919, her sue

boy. Oh Christmas day of the same
year tho nineteeSth child was added to

years afthcsfward the family was in,
erased by twins, and for three years
after that one child year was born to
Mr.. Hepner. The last three were born
in this country, Mr.. Hepner having
emigrated from Germany in 1854. In

ried nine years. Of the thirty-two
