GENIUS Is

The death of Longfellow sadly re-
minds us that the brilliant galaxy Of
American authors, in which he shone
with so bright and serene a ray, is
rapidly sinking below the horizon. Bry.
ant and Longfellow are gone. and those
who remain. Holmes and Whittier,
Emerson and Bancroft, have declined
inso the vale of years, and cannot in the
order of nature remain with us q great
while longer. But by whom their vacan.
cies are to be filed does not yet appear.
There are many minor lights of beauty
and brilliancy shining in the literary
armament, but no star Of the first mag
nitude has arisen above the sky line.
The development of literary genius is
periodic. and its time seems to have not
yet come. Singularly enough, it is the
same in England. and when Tennyson
fails there will be no one to wear his
mantle.

HOW MOVIE?

The Anti. Polygamy bill has passed,
and will be a law for Utah. 1t is an
heroic remedy for a desperate disease,
and as such it meets with the approval
OF the American people. But the surest
test of the physicians skill is sometimes
the application of the remedy. Care
should be taken by Congress to make the
law wholesome. by proper means to en-
force it. We have certain fundamental
principles of our Government to con-
slider, and we must not lose sight of them
altogether in the endeavor to root out a
local evil. Hence, prudence in dealing
with the Mormons should be strictly OBJ
served. The law of Congress enables
five men and their agents to be selected
in q great measure on account of their
hostility to the people concerned, to
punish, as for crime, by d~isfranchise-
ment, the whole population, or any por-
ton of il. without presentiment. indict-
ment, trial or conviction. This is a
frightful power. In the hands of the
wisest and best of men it could not be
exercised without the infection of the
grossest wrongs; and in the hands of
sceh as are likely to have it here,
the possible abuses cannot be con.
templated without deep concern. These
i've men not only determine
who shall vote, but they canvass the re-
turns aud declare the result according to
their pleasure. The avowed object Of all
this is to procure a Legislature composed
exclusively Of alien adventures to deal
with the people and property of the long
settled and wealthy Territory. The bill
will accomplish this. 1t may give up
Utah to pillage; it may subject a vast
amount Of tempting property, slowly ac-
cumulated by the patient toll of the
fanatics. to spoliation or destruction, and
it may put a stop to many profitable in
dustries, which have heretofore enjoyed
the protection of honest government;
while it is to be feared that it will pro.
duce no effect whatever upon the prac-
tice Of polygamy unless possibly to con-
firm and increase it.

AN ENRAGED ALLIGATOR
How He Captured a Cow and stage,
with Her.


While on our way home from Savannah
on Friday morning last Conductor F. NJ.
Duggar Of the Macon & Brunswick Rail-
road related to us the following account of
the freaks Of an enrased alligator: On
last Wednesday morning DR.. Blaine and
James Wright of Glenn County went out
deer hunting, carrying with them two
young puppies unused to tracking or hunt
ing deer. After remaining out in the
woods several hours, they heard the pup
pies running through the swamp and bark
ing furiously at some kind of an animal.
After a few minutes the animal was bayed
by the dogs in water the depth of three or
four feet. The two gentlemen hurried to
where the dogs were and found the animal
to be q COW Mr.. Wright then waded to
where the dogs were in order that he
might quiet and carry them away and
just as he reached them a monster alliga-
tor attacked the dogs. Thinking he
could brighten the monster. away,
and save his dogs, he picked
up a cudgel lying near by and struck at
the monster several times, but without
any effect towards dispelling his presence,
and only to enrage his alligatorship to
such an extent that he made several
desperate lunges at the COW, and finally he
succeeded in seizing her by the neck and
pulling her under the water, and drowned
her in a few minutes. The alligator then
disappeared, and the gentleman returned
home for the night. Next morning Mr..
Wright went down to where the COW was
drowned the day before, and there beheld
the alligator. the eonqueror OF the COW,
lying beside his victim, as if guarding her.
Mr.. Wright fired five or six shots into the
alligator and finally killed it. When meas
ured, the monster proved to be nearly Ia
feet in length, one Of the largest ever seen
in that section of the country. Mr.. James
Wright is one of the most responsible men
in Glynn County, and he related this to
Mr.. Duggar himself.

THE TWENTY YEAR CLAUSE.

John r. Swift, one Of the Commis-
sioners to China who secured the present
treaty, tells a reporter in San Francisco
that the evil We complain Of was better
understood by the Chinese than by our
selves. He says this part of the negotia-
ton was thoroughly discussed and that
the Chinese authorities expected that
the suspension of immigration would be
for at least one generation or 80 years;
and that had the term been fixed at 90
or more years the Chinese Government
would have been satisfied and would
have regarded the arrangement as proper
to carry out the understood purposes OF
the treaty. Now, Mr.. Swift is a man
who is familiar enough with public at
fairs to speak accurately and advisedly.
The presumption is decidedly in favor OF
the correctness OF his statement. What
then comes of Mr.. President Arthur's
chief reason for vetoing the Anti-Chi-
nese bill? He must have known the cir
cumstances attending the negotiations
of our Commissioners to the Chinese
Empires; either this or he has gone great
/, out of his way to find a poor excuse
for his act for which there is no good ex-
cuse. He certainly understood all the
circumstances of the case perfectly. His
veto is q middle Of poor excuses which
are not as good as none. The tact 49,
looked at from any point OF view, we
have every advantage OF the Chinese IN
the way of and otherwise.
We could cut off all relations with them
and be unaffected in any material degree,
while their dependence upon us, the bal
ance Of trade being largely in our favor,
places them ct a disadvantage in case
they seek a quarrel with the United
States. But this is all bosh. Personal
and partisan considerations, which do
not find graceful mention among the OBJ
iections in a Presidential veto OF a bill,
actuated Mr.. Arthur to disapprove the
Anti. Chinese bill. His actual motives
will appear Enthusiastically before long.

A SCARE.

supreme security by reason Of their sep

among our cousins, however, since the
great tunnel under the Channel has

French will slip through the hole some
night and scatter over Britain from its
mouth as did the Greeks over Troy from

more recently by flying across the chan
mel in a balloon e to Calais. They

SAN FRAScIsco, April 5.-The Call pub
fishes an interview with John F. Swift, ex-
Treaty Commissioner to China, who says
regarding the 20-year suspension clause
of the Chinese bill, that the Commission
ers Of both countries contemplated a con-
siderably longer period when discussing
the terms OF the treaty. The Chinese
Commissioner understood even better
than we did the problem Of over COMPETE
ton in labor, and were willing TO argue the
means of relief. The time Of suspension
was thoroughly discussed, and it was
agreed that q suspension of 33 years, or
one generation would be necessary to rem
edy the evils complained Of. / fully hoped
the suspension could have been proposed
for 80 years, and the Chinese Government
would not have considered the faith of the
treaty trespassed upon II it had been made
so years, or even more.

There is more money in good poulty
raising considering its cost by one half,
to be had annually than can be realized
from the pigs or sheep on farm. And
yet the latter are fed and housed and bred
everywhere to the entire neglect, almost
of fowl stock. Our farmers will do well
to look into the merits Of this thing. Good
fowls of any Of the improved breeds may
now be had at a reasonable price. And
we sincerely recommend this matter TO the

the facilities at hand to rear good poultry

elected this well paying branch of rural
