Ladd and Murch.

The Boston Journal says of an Ala
bama contested election case
There is one matter in connection with
this case which is entitled to passing no
tice. Mr.. Lowe, the contestant in this
case, is a Greenbacker. He has acted
with that party for several years In the
House from Maine are two gentlemen
who claim to be Greenbackers, Messrs.
Ladd and Murch. The former was in
Washington when the case was taken up,
but instead OF voting with the Republi-
cans and Greenbackers to make the
quorum necessary to consider it, Mr.
Ladd acted with the Democrats. Could
he have had his way, this Greenback
contestant, fairly elected by 600 majority,
would not have been given his seat during
the session. Mr. Murch the other Maine
Greenbacker, was in Maine, without leave
of absence, it said, attending the Green
back State Convention and 'loOking after
his fences" How longwill Maine Green /
hackers who are hostile to The Bourbon
Democracy vote for these men upon the
assumption that they are of their faith
Mr.. Lddd is us good Democrat as there
is in the House, and MI Murch can al
ways be relied upon to break a quorum
to promote Democratic interests.

Garfield and Blame.

Editor Hastcad says in the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial-
The Boston Herald should be above printing
such mess of trash as its last Sunday Washing
ton letter concerning the relations of Garfield
and Blaine. The very day preceding the fatal
shot of the assassin, President Garfield spoke to
the editor of this paper about the injustice that
was sought to be done to Blaine in the matter
Of interfering with the appointments of the adj
mlnlstraton He said that no member of the
cabinet meddled with other departments less
than Blaine; and, in regard to RobertSon's ap
pointment to the cOectorship of New York the
President declared that he had made up his
mind to appoint Robertson before he left Men
tor and before Blaine had an opportunity to
suggest it or hint il. The enemies Of Blaine try
Very hard to separate him from the friendship
and confidence of Garfield 1t is an idle task.
They try, moreover, to make it appear that
Blaine sought the position of secretary of state.
This is also an idle task. A cloud of witnesses
can testify how earnest Garfield was from the
hour Of his election to secure Blaine for the
head of his cabinet
In the House May 3lst, the discussion of the
Mackey-Dibble contested election case was fin
lshed and the resolution seating Mackey adopt
ed, 100 to 3. Mackey then took his seat. A res
oution censuring the Speaker for his ruling last
Monday was offered by Mr.. McLane, and laid
on the table by vote of IA to So, after scenes
of great confusion. 1t was voted, 149 to =, to
consider the Florida contested election case of
Blsbee vs.. Finley. Thursday, after arguments
on both sides, the resolution declaring Bisbee
entitled TO the seat was adopted 14l to 8, and he
was sworn in.

The population Of the United States is
estimated to be at the present time about
53,200,000. The increase has never been
less than three per cent, except during
the Rebellion, when it was q per cent.
per annum, compounded. At times it has
run above three per cent Since 1866 the
growth has been rapid, probably restor-
ing the three per cent. ratio. There are
but three countries Russia, British India
and China-with populations greater than
ours. But the United States may safely
assert its right to the first place among
nations in respect of numbers, wealth and
influence. Should the present rate OF in
crease continue, by the time the United
States is two centuries Old it will number
38l 100000 people, or 10000, 600 more
than the present entire population of Eu
rope.

(Sugar-Planter.]


After passing bill to provide for
their mileage and per diem, about the
first thing our modern legislators 40, Is
to tackle the printing bill, when they
know as little of the value OF printing
as they do of the general run OF iegls-
latiOn. Such has been the experience
of the last fifteen years and our more
modern Solons have not profited by
the bad example. Not more than a
dozen of those profound law makers
would have emerged from their obseuri,
ty-in fact would never have been
heard of-but for the power OF the
press, and, among the first things they
do when in power is to kick away the
stool upon which their diminutive, sta.
ture may be seen over the heads OF
more lofty men. It is generally men
Of this stamp who worry over the coun-
try printing as if it were bonanza In
the hands of every man able to own a
rural newspaper. Why this is so, we
have never been able to discover, al
though we have been in the business
for nearly forty years. II others have
been more fortunate, we hope they will
enlighten those whom Fortune has not
favored.
If, as a rule, the country press had
been exacting, arbitrary or disposed to
assume unauthorized power In any
manner, perhaps some legislation might
be necessary, from time to time, TO
keep all such under restraint so far as
the price for public work is concerned
and the same can be said for legal
charges, but beyond the points men
toned, any interference with prices Tor
printing is unwarranted by the Leglsla-
nt1 11rARpnf
rates for such work is already too low,
and, to further reduce them, will result
in destroying many of the best country
papers of the State. Their great neces-
sity in disseminating information in the
parishes is SO well recognized by wise
legislators, as well as the general public,
that none but the small fry desire them
annihilated. Why are they interfered
with in their business more than the
merchant, the lawyer, the mechanic,
the butcher or the baker9 They all
have mouths to be fed and ask only the
privilege of charging reasonable
price for fair labor performed. Is there
| anything unjust, unreasonable OF I'M
proper in thatg We opine not.
It is unfortunate that there has been
no concert of action by the Press Asso-
citation in this matter. To us it appears
| that there should be no further delay
At the annual meeting in Alexandria,
next March, we shall endeavor to
arouse our somewhat apathetic brethren
of the press to sense of their bounden
duty in the premises. With proper ac-
ton we can insist upon being let alone
and maintain it, and that is about all
we want. In the matter OF prices we
should have as much to say as that pro-
found body-called by courtesy the
| law making power-of this terribly
mismanaged State of Louisiana. We
commend the Importance Of this matter
TO the attention of our contemporaries
