Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-11-27

In South Carolina, and several of the
other Southern states, suggestions have
been made that the Presidential electors
should vote for Garfield, and in one or
two instances it has been suggested that
they should vote for Grant. The idea
which lies at the bottom of such sugges-
tions is that it will be accepted as ten
der on the part of the South of its desire
that sectionalism and sectional solidity
shall be done away with. The idea may
be good enough in the abstract, but it is
not likely to be carried into execution,
and if it should be, it would likely fail
in its purpose.

From the Inter Ocean.

FROM tne luter Ocedu
A Washington telegram to the Inter
Ocean mentions the satisfaction
which the Democratic members of
the present House of Representatives are
contemplating the fact that they will
have the app0rtionment for the next
Congressional representation if the SUI
perintendent of the Census completes
his returns, as he now declares he will,
by the middle of January. The dispatch
says:
They have confidently counted upon so
arranging matters that the proportion
of Southern Congressman should be very
largely increased at the expense of loyal
New England, while the West should
maintain about its present relative
strength.
1t Is rather difficult to see how any
particular advantage is to be gained by
fixing the appOrtiOnment; and that the
number of Southern Congressman shall
be largely increased at the expense Of
any section is practically impossible so
far as the simple matter of such appOr-
tiOnment is concerned. If any advan-
tages is, or shall be, gained it will be
though fraudulent census returns, and
not fixing the basis of representation.
1t may be possible, by close calculation,
to give few additional Congressman to
any section, but this will be chance
merely, and is hardly likely to amount
to much. For illustration, suppose the
population required for representative
is as now, 131, 425, and it is found that
some lesser or greater number will divide
more evenly and advantageously to the
South, such number might be fixed upon
and slight gain secured; but as the same
rule would apply to all the States it would
be singular if this plan proved of much
consequence.
As the matter of fact, allowing the
census returns from the South to stand
without correction, that section will
gain slightly in the next House. If the
present number of representatives is to
be maintained, division according to
population will result in a gain of about
three to the South and seven to the West,
while the Middle and Eastern States will
lose ten, net loss to the North Of three.
The loss and gain will probably be dis
tributed among thelStates about as fol-
lows.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-11-27

1t is to be borne in mind, however,
that though the North may lose in num-
Der it is likely to gain in quality as in
deed it has done in the recent election. 1t
has exchanged many of its northern
men with southern principles for sound
representatives, and thus obtains work.
ing majority in the popular branch of
Congress. 1t is also to be observed that,
even allowing the south gain of three
members, that section will then have
but 10S out of the 292, leaving majority
in the north of seyenty-six members,
which ought to be enough for all practi
cal purposes for quarter of the century
to come.
There is some talk, according to the
Washington dispatches, of applying the
terms of the fourteenth amendment to
the notorious Acknowledgement of the
southern voters, and reducing the repre-
sentatiOn Of that section in proportion
to the number of citizens so diSfranchiS-
ed. The amendment declares that when
the right to vote is denied or in any way
abridged, except for crime, "the basis
of representation therein should be re-
duced" in the proportion named. 1t
would be just and no doubt effectual
remedy for southern fraud and BULLDOG
ing if representation could be cut off in
the manner indicated; but it is pretty
well settled that the denial or abridg-
ment of the right to vote must come
through state legislation, and cannot be
held to apply to individual acts of fraud
or intimidation. Indeed the twenty-sec-
Ond section of the United States statutes
seems to put this Interpretation on the
constitution, for that section says:
SHOULD any state deny or abridge, etc"
then the number of Representatives shall
be reduced. The prohibition might be
made much more effectual if the former
Interpretation prevailed, but it seems
that it does not. So far as the arrange
ment of the new representation is con-
cerned, of course it must be done fairly,
or it will not receive the approval of the
President, and will be laid over till next
congress. There is scarcely any need
for hurry in fixing the new appOrtiOn-
ment, and if Mr.. Walker should not COM
plete his statistics in time for action at
the present session of congress there
would be no particular damage done. 1t
can hardly be a matter of much cOnse-
quence, however, and if he has his fig
ures ready we know no reason why the
Democratic house should not be allowed
to exercise its ingenuity upon them.
With the reins in the hands of Repub-
ican President, there is hardly danger
of our Democratic brethren running
away with anything.

QUESTION is raised as to the eligibility
of Congressman-elect circuit, of the Third
Vermont District. He was born in
Canada, and has never been naturalized.
He claims his case is saved, however, by

Wonderful Spiders.

A SHORT distance from Buena Vista,
is cave inhabited by spiders which are
different from other spiders by their
enormous size, and quite useful to the
needy people of the vicinity. The cave
was discovered last December by a.par-
ty of sight-seekers, and the spiders and
their work witnessed. On entering the
cave one is struck by the funny-looking
webs that meet their eyes. They are
worked for all the world like webs OF
other spiders, but every fiber is ten
times as large as the ones woven by or
binary spiders. On passing on farther
into the cave the spiders are encoun-
tered. They are about the size OF small
birds and make a strange sound while
weaving their web. The webs are SC
tough and the fibers so large that it is
almost an impossibility to break down
a web. Some four weeks ago whit
looking at the cave miner got to ex-
aiming the webs. Their strands were
about the size of No. II thread, and
he thought that they could be used fol
thread. Having needle in his posses
sion he broke off one of the strands and
found that it just fit. Sewing on loose
button to test the efficacy, he found il
as strong as silk thread, and that il
answered his every purpose. Since
then the people have focked in and
carried away hosts of the webs, but the
spiders do not appear to object in the
least. There is some talk among CAPT
talists of starting thread factory there
and using the webs for thread. Chdfee

And, horror stricken, to the house fly.
A scene of desolation greets the eye:
The carpets up, the curtains down, fires out,
Furniture all upset and piled about;
While, back and forth, with heads in towels
With skirts topped up a foot above the
ground,
And arms all bared-"l fly" creatures-can

Tearing about in these outrageous buds,
And stirring up this awful smell of suds,
While in their eyes there CLEANS dangerous
Great heavens. tits they Oh, what dread

The dog, once scalded, from them keeps

The cat has sought for safety on the roof
And in the dining room, where had thought
To find n toothsome dinner, they have got

A whitewash brush and spatter every thing.

GARDEN-LORE.

EVERY child who has gardening tools
Should learn by heart these gardening rules :
He who owns gardening spade
Should be able to dig the depth of its blade
He who owns a gardening rake
Should know what to leave and what to
take;
He who owns gardening hoe
Must be sure how he means his strokes
to go;
But he who owns gardening fork
May make it do all the other tools work;
Though to shift, or to pot, or annex what
You can,
A trowers the tool for child, woman or
