And raging plague has sent

But alcoholic drinks,
A pest moro deadly far,

THE CENSUS.
A Bill to Prevent Fraud
Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean.

Special Telegram TO the inter Ocedn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The Senate to-
day passed an important bill, designed
to prevent fraud in the taking of the
census. Its chief provision is the re-
quirement that each enumeration, upon
completing his work, and before for
warding the result to the Supervisor.
shall file in the Office of the clerk of the
county court list of the names, with
age, sex, and color, of all persons emu
merated by him, which he shall certify
to be true, and for which he shall be
paid at the rate Of-cents for every 100
names. He shall further give notice by
public advertisement that he will be at
the county court house on the fifth and
sixth DAYS after filing the list, to correct
enumeration by striking out or adding
designation of persons Improperly emu
merated or omitted, and on those days
he shall correct, on such reliable inform!
alton as he can obtain, all omissions
and mistakes, and in so doing may
swear and examine witnesses, making
known the result of his inquiries, and
the whole number of persons enumerat
ed to bystanders within the next five
DAYS: he shall make full copy of all his
schedules, and forward, with the origin
al, as duplicate returns to the Superyi-
sOr, who shall forward one set to the
Census Office, in Washington, and file
the other in the Office of the Secretary
of State of his state or territory. The
bill further provides that the enumera-
ton shall be commenced all over the
country on the first of June, and be COM
pleted in cities having over 10000 peo-
pie within two week.

THE House Committee on Indian At
fairs agreed upon bill that will estab
lish the authority of law upon the reser-
yatiOns which hitherto, for the most
part, have been the theater of unbridled
lawlessness. The bill provides that the
law of the respective states and terri
tories for the punishment of crimes of
the graver class shall have effect in the
reservations, and shall be enforced by
the United States courts. Over the In
dian Territory, except within the bOun-
diaries of the Five Nations, in like man.
ner, the laws of Kansas for the punish
ment Of crime are extended. The bill is
one that long since should have been
law. If enforced, it would do away with
much of the frontier lawlessness.

THE Clearing House returns for the
last month, which are reported in the
daily papers, show that at New York
the aggregate volume of business was
greater than for any month recorded,
except last October. The exchanges, ex-
elusive of those for stock transactions,
were twenty-fOur hundred millions. For
the corresponding period last year they
were but fifteen hundred millions. The
increase in the clearings at the other
leading cities, except San Francisco, in
dictate corresponding activity through
out the country. The local causes which
have operated to depress business on the
Pacific coast, apparently continue to be
felt, and exchanges at San Francisco for
the month show falling of. The re-
turns from all other business centers
disclose that the extraordinary business
activity which set in last fall continues
with no perceptible abatement, and that
payments generally are being promptly
met, which furnishes the best assurance
of healthy commercial condition.

GOVERNOR SIMPSON, of South Carolina
called an extra session of the Legisla-
ture of that state to assemble last Tues
day for the purpose of remedying blum
ders made at the regular session last
December. Since 1876 it has been the
boast of the citizens of that state that it
had been redeemed. Republicans, carpet
baggers" and "niggers" no longer held
sway. Simon pure white Democrats, to
the manor born, elected to legislate for
white men were there to make the laws
and hence 1t was to have been expected
that these heightened representatives
would have made no errors. At the De-
cember session tax law for state pur-
poses, called the supply act" was pass
ed; but the Supreme court has decided
that the first section of the act is uncOn-
stitutiOnal and void, because, as ratified
and published. it does not agree with the
act as passed by the legislature, and the
record shows this fatal variance. Some
state official, not a Republican carpet
Dagger" or niger" but a representative
Democrat. thought he was greater than
the Legislature and made some altera-
tions in the law to make it conform to
his ideas, and beside, these intelligent
white men neglected to have it read the
requisite number of times in both Houses
before its passage. The second section of
the act, making provision for Charles
ton military organization, is also uncOn-
stitutional and void, never having been
agreed to by the House of Representa-
tives. Really it would seem that few
"carpet-baggers" or even a few intelli'
gent ringers" in the legislature would
have been good thing for the state, and
might have saved the expense of an ex-
ira session.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1880.


Il.
Time is fast passing and less than
sixty days are left in which the offer of
the State Board of Control granting T.
$50 acres of swamp land to any company
organized under the state law for the
improvement of Black river, the COM
pany to have subscribed not less than
$4,000 and 25 per cent of that amount
to be paid in, can be made good. The
stock books have been open for subscrip-
tons since Monday, the 10th day Of jan
uary, but we regret to say so far there
has been but little interest manifested,
in the way of subscribing to the stock.
In the enterprise, Why this is so we
cannot conceive. The enterprise is GER
tainly one that should commend itself to
the citizens of the county as of utmost
Importance to the future of both the vii
lage and the county. We have so fire.
quently shown the great benefits to the
county and village, arising from the
opening up the inland route through
Mullet, Burt and Crooked lakes and the
rivers connecting them, that it seems to
US that every person must admit the ad-
yantages resulting from the completion
of the work. 1t seems also clear that a
like result would follow the completion
of the Black river improvement.
Already there has been expended a
very considerable amount of labor, time
and money in carrying the work forward
SO far as it has gone. The state, through
the Board Of Control, made liberal offer
of swamp land to aid in making the i'm
prOvement and it does seem, in our minds
to be the height of folly to lose not
only what has been expended in the
preliminary measures necessary to gel
the matter in shape, but also the benefit
to the county of the liberal aid which
has been offered by the representatives
of the State simply for the reason of g
lack of interest in the matter and the
folly Of not looking far enough ahead tt
see the great benefits to be derived from
the completion of the work. Can it be
that there is not a sufficient amount Of
enterprise in Cheboygan county to take
hold of the matter and furnish the com
paratively small amount of capital
necessary to secure the grant from the
State to aid the work. Is there so little
faith in the future development Of Oul
county among our citizens that they will
not do something to help along the en-
terprise. 1t will require but small
amount from each, if every person in.
terested in the present and future pros.
perity Of our county would take stock in
the company. Take some stock in il
and then you will be interested in it and
work with others to have it completed
There is not much time to be lost. The
stock should be taken, the organization
of the company perfected and arrange
ments made for commencing the worl
at as early day as possible. 1t is fOl
our citizens to say whether or not THU
important work shall go on. AS WI
have already stated the conditions upoI
which the aid is offered by the State re
quires that stock to the amount of SIS,
900 be subscribed in less than sixt,
days.

The decadence of Ireland under the
present system of land-tenures and alb
sentee landlords is exhibited with apall-
ing distinctness in the statistics cited
by Sir Stafford NorthcOte in speech in
the House Of Commons. The aggregate
crop product is stated as of the value of
but twenty-three millions for the past
year, the potato crop being but twO-ifths
that of the season preceding. These fig
ures alone would tell of starvation. But
they do not result merely from crop fail
ures. The figures show that the area of
land under cultivation is less than any
time during the last decade. The dimi-
mutton is the result of the system which
rewards the farmer, after his crop is
raised, by taking it from him and turn
ing him out for non-payment of the re-
mainder of the rent-charges.

THE platform adopted by the Penn
sylvania Republicans declares for
letting the currency alone at present;
for avoiding financial agitation which
will disturb business; for supporting the
American system of protection to home
industry, for free, fair, and honest cleo
tiOns, and an honest count of the votes;
against any attempt by returning boards
or officers to set aside the will of the
people as expressed Though the ballot
box, either because of technicalities or
otherwise; and against any attempt to
regulate tariffs through commercial
treaties. In these respects the platform
is sound. The convention passed q reso-
luton instructing the delegates from
that State to the National Republican
convention, at Chicago to vote for Gen.
eral Grant as candidate for President. by
vote of 1873 to 1l3.
