The New York Times says: AS was most
natural, the celebration of Independence
Day all over the country was mere form
wherever it was observed, and, in many
instances, instead OF the usual military
and civic festivities and parades, there
were solemn religious services, the offer
ing of prayers for the stricken President
and the Nation, and an exchange of opin-
ions of grave and thoughtful citizens con-
sidering the great crisis in the history OF
our times. Anxiety was depicted upon
every countenance. Instead of mirth and
jubilation there was sorrow and apprehen-
sion. All thoughts were directed to
the bedside of the smtten chief magis-
trate Under the current of every mans
thoughts ran the gloomy tide of a great
sorrow There was only one topic of
conversation and only one point from
which news was sought for or expected
1t will long be a memorial day. Let us
hope and pray that the Nation will never
see again so gloomy an anniversary

Senator David Davis, speaking on the

Of the day are darkened by this deep shad-
ow Of national afIliction, but in the con-
summation of an individual crime. having
its origin of execution in the mind and pur-
pose Of single individual, horrible as it
is. we are relieved by the reflection that
no party, no section, no creed, no race OF
men, is responsible Tor the innocent blood
OF this fearful tragedy. 1t is not the pre-
monition of a coming storm, the fury of
which is to shake the fabric Of our gov
eminent and TO disturb the repose Of our
society all over this broad land, in the
city and on the plains. In the homes and

Speaker Sharpe offered on behalf of the
whole house, a series of resolutions, denounc-
ing the attempted assassination of the Presi-

pathy and respect also to his heroic and de-

gard. Messrs. Hayes, Brooks and Award
spoke in terms of horror at the crime, and
their sympathy is with the victim of it.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously.

Phillips on the question of privilege, pro-
nounced as false the published statement
that the proposed conference. was a trap, and
proceeded to say it was a proposition of an
organization, with himself, in good faith
He found here two factions holding each
other at bay, and it was his hope to bring
them into unity of action.
The chair had read a notice announcing
that in accordance with call signed by 65
members, the republicans would meet in
conference this evening to endeavor to agree
upon candidates for United States Senators.
The convention then adjourned.
The Bribery Case.
The testimony taken shows that no money
was used upon or offered to any other MEM
Der of the legislature than Bradley. 1t is
positively sworn to by Bradley that this money
was rendered to him and he accepted it. 1t is
nowhere shown that the money was refused
or rejected.
Brooks submitted the minority report in
which they say if the charge is true great
crime has been committed. The report then
rests forth the constitutional provision against
bribery and corruption, in order to show the
enormity of the crime and dwels upon this
point. Bradley it says, received the money
with the understanding that he would vote as
requested. He gave up the money at the
proper time and to the proper person, but it
would have been far better if he had refused
to accept the money at all. The law and
constitution both make bribery felony, and
fix the punishment, which is imprisonment
in the state prison.
The statement of the offer of money by
one side is as circumstantial as the denial on
the other, and upon the souls of one of these
men rests the stain of perjury. and God alone
knows who is guilty of pergury, and whether
one is guilty of both bribery and perjury.
In conclusion the committee submit a re-
port that the only evidence of his using money
was that of paying Bradley $1,000, that
though Sessions drew from his bankers &c.
GIG. and that nearly $4,000 was drawn and
used by other parties. there is no evidence
of anv being used in influencing voters

FINE WHEAT OUTLOOK.

CHICAGO, April 2O,-Reports collected
within ten days from every county in
Kansas regarding the crops, show that on
the whole the winter wheat crop is in excel
ent condition, better than usual at this
season. Everything now depends on rain.
The past few days have been exceedingly
hot and windy, and in some places the
dirt has been blown so as to expose the
root of the wheat to the scorching sun but
little damage has been sustained as yet.
A good warm rain would be Of incalcul-
able benefit. Farmers say with favorable
weather the crop will be the largest ever
harvested in Kansas. The spring wheat
crop appears to be in an unfavorable con-
dition. In seventeen counties it's condi-
ton is fair; in forty three it is a poor crop
and little confidence is felt in it. The ag-
gregate acreage of rye is rather limited
and the reports as a whole are quite ia
vorable.

EVIL EFFECTS OF THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT.

An unexplained objection to the cleo
trio light arises from its alleged evil eff
fects .on the eye. European observers
state that the frequent variations in in
tensity to which the light is subject give
rise to sudden aid frequent changes in
the pupil and, consequently, in the
accommodation - of the eye, by which
is meant that that alternate contraction
and dilation Of the pupil, by which
it suits itself to the variations of light.
Such light, therefore. causes not only
muscular fatigue, but also considerable
blurring and indistinctness in the re tinal
image. The eye suffers both when the
light is too dim and when it is too bright.
In the former case the object must be
brought close to be clearly seen, and an
increased accommodative effort is called
for, which in most cases results in near
sightedness. In the latter case, the simple
intensity of the light produces undue con-
traction of the pupil and an increase of
tension within the eye.

THE ROMAN GHETTO TO BE
LEVELED.

Another relic of medieval narrow
mindedness and bigotry is about to van
ish from the face Of the earth II has at
length been resolved by the municipality
ofRome that the venerable Ghetto shall be
leveled with the ground, in order that
a number of stately houses may be erect
ed upon IFS SITE The huge group of sordid
buildings thus sentenced to destruction is
the most ancient of its kind in Southern
Europe. 1t existed long before the reign
of Julius Caesar, and during that of the
Emperor Augustus was occupied by near
ly eight thousand inmates. The orr ginator
of the Ghetto is said to have been King
Herod, who caused palace to be built
near the Pons Janiculensis for the accom-
modation of his sons and diplomatic en-
voys when visiting Rome. When the
Apostles Peter and Paul came to the
Eternal City, there to preach the gospel,
they abode in he Ghetto Ten centuries
later it was the residence of the celebrat-
ed Israelitish jeweler Elganan Diedado,
who became a Christian, and whose
grandson, under the name of Aneclete H.,
occupied the papal throne from 113O to
1148. The Ghetto has long been phys
ical as well as historical reproach to the
Italian capital l.-LondOn Teleqraph.

THE MISSISSIPPI METHOD.

Boston, April 1S.-The Advertiser will
tomorrow publish statement from Chas.
Heath, now residing in Maiden, this
state, who is the person referred to by
Senator Dawes in the Senate debate as
having his property in the South DESTROYED
by an incendiary. Heath's plantation
(about one thousand acres in extent) was
in Caldwell parish, on the Ouachjta river,
ten miles below Columbus, La Heath
states he, with his brother, who is a New
Orleans merchant, bought the place thir-
teen or fourteen years ago and had estab-
lished upon it a gin-house, grist mill and
repair shop, fitted up with improved ma
chinery, under a white overseer, and were
not seriously interfered with by their
neighbors. The first difficulty, says Mr..
Heath, was in 1877 or 1878, and was on
account of a decision that we would not
employ white men as overseers. From
that time, as the statement intimates,
Heath's troubles begun, and neighbors
and'others accusing him of willingness to
divide the land with negroes avowed their
determination to prevent it. The troubles
in which negroes on his place were NAL
treated are recounted in the statement,
but Heath says he got along very well
until last Christmas, and upon Christmas
night his whole place was burned. He
says i: "The whole place with improve
ments was worth $4,000. They burned
up my tools, wagons, grist mill and black
smith shop, repair shop, everything clean.
I got out about $400 or $500 worth of
goods in about 20 minutes. We had to
work, and we came within an ace of be-
ing burned alive. The only thing that
saved us was, the wind blew the flames
away from the building in which we
were sleeping"
Heath's statement alleges a series of
outrages perpetrated upon negroes in the
parish where he was located He says he
is assured by his friends, some of whom
are strong Democrats, that he had got in
to the worst part of the State. Heath
says he shall go back to New Orleans
where he has real estate, this fall. The
negroes on this plantation pay him for
his land and mules employed. His brother
went to New Orleans in 1S4S, and has been
a long time a merchant there, and was
appointed mayor of the city by Gen.
Sheridan. He says the firing was not
alluded to in the papers, and he made no
secret in New Orleans ofhis disposition to
investigate the matter.

WOMEN ON THE ROAD.

It is the verdict of merchants that fe-
male clerks deal better than men with fe-
male customers. They are more compre
hensive and patient more sympathetic
with the gush and true inwaldness lavish
ed upon the fnery which fires the enthus-
iasm of the softer. Consequently there
are numerous advertisementssthis season
for women to travel in the interest of
mercantile houses to secure female patron
age. This opens new field of industry
well adapted to those women who have
had experience with county customers in
city stores. Lady clerks who have grown
popular with patrons out of town will find
it both pleasant and profitable to seek and
take their orders under "their own vine

NO.. 28,
LONGSTREET, MOSBY AND NOW
MAHONF

The fate of the Southern Generals, no
matter how brilliant their career during
the war, who have ventured since the
peace to entertain opinions disagreeable to
their fellow citizens, many of whom re-
mained at home during the conflict, is
not a very pleasant one.
First, we have Longstreet, a soldier of
approved valor and superior renown, who
was second TO Lee in the command of the
army of Northern Virginia. He gave his
blood to his cause. Longstreet, at the
close of the war, believed that the South
could do better than by following the
dismal lead of Bourbonism. From that
hour until the present he has been de-
nounced and renounced by the South.
There was no more brilliant partisan
leader in the South than Colonel John S.
Mosby. The history of the war shows
that Lee expressed the highest admiration
for Mosby's skill, energy and devotion.
At the close Of the war Colonel Mosby
ventured 10 think a Virginian might do
as well under Republican Government as
under the government of the men who
brought ruin on her fields and disaster on
her fres;des From that hour. to this
Colonel Mosby has been an outlaw in
Southern society.
And now Malone. General Mahone's
record in the Southern army is part of
the history of the Con. .ederacy He be-
gan with the beginning, he fought to the
end. When the end came it found him
on the side Of Lee, trusted and brilliant
subordinate. General Mahone's name
was then and for some time after an em-s
bodiment of devotion to the cause of
the South. So long as he remained in
sympathy with the Bourbons he was the
darling OF the Southern Democracy. When
he discovered that possibly there was a
better way to serve Virginia than keep
ing her under the heels of men who had
done so much to wound the old Common
weaths, he found himself an outlaw and
held up to scorn by men who were hiding
in bomb-proofs while he was fighting
through the Wilderness.-N. Y. Herald.

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND EDUCA.
TTON

The Republican party has no prouder
boast than that it has always been the
friend and promoter of public education.
Always devoted to progress and the anne
Iteration of the human race, it has been
consequently solicitous to provide the
children OF the Republic with every IA
cility for instruction, rightly holding that
the safety and perpetuity Of free institu-
tions rest on the intelligence and educa-
tion of the people. 1t has labored to Sc
cure equal educational advantages for
ri h aud poor, and for every race and
color, and its success in this respect is one
of its grandest monuments, and will furn-
ish one OF Its strongest claims on the graf
ltude OF future generations. The Repub-
lican party has been singularly unani-
nous in supporting it's leaders in their
efforts to further the cause of education
it's enemies. Who ever heard of a Repub-
lican who l,as opposed to the cause of
popular education On the other hand,
while many Democrats are warm and en-
thusiastic ffiends of the public schools, it
is also true that all the enemies of the
system are found in the ranks of the
Democracy. 1t is for this reason that
even the Democratic friends of popular
education have more confidence in the
Republicans than in their own party
when the interests Of the public schools
are in any way at stake. 1t is an undis-
puted fact that the great mass of the peo-
pie are in favor of popular education and
it is compliment to the Republican par
ty that the friends of the common schools
trust it rather than the Democracy in all
cases where the cause of public education
is affected. d.-AHon (Hl.) Daily Telegraph.
