disguise for the purpose of deprivine
another free white citizen of a righl
accorded by the law of the State te
all classes Of persons, as,for instance
the right to make a contract, bring
a suit, or give evidence, cannot b.
authorized by an amendment which
simply prohibits slavery and invol.
untary servitude.
There is another view which
strengthens this conclusion. If con
gress has constitutional authority
under the thirteenth amendment to
punish conspiracy between two
persons to do an unlawful act, it can
punish the act itself, whether done
by one or more persons. The only
way in which one private person can
deprive another of the equal protec-
ton of the laws, is by the commits
sion of some offense against the laws
which protect the rights of persons,
rs by theft, burglary, arson, libel,
assault, or murder. If therefore this
court should hold that section 5519 is
warranted by the THU teenth amend
ment, it would by virtue of that
amendment accord to congress the
power to punish every crime by
which the right Of any person to life,
liberty, property, or reputation is
invaded. Thus under provision OF
the constitution, which simply abol-
ished slavery, we should, with few
exceptions, invest congress with
power over the whole catalogue of
crimes. A construction of the amend
ment which leads to such q result is
clearly unsound.
There is only one other clause in
the constitution of the United States
which can, in any degree, be suppos.
cd to sustain the section under con /.

decided that DR.. Togge should visit

are fetched out of the sea in the Far

thus delineated-if a report in one OF
our daily papers is to be relied upon
alleged to have come from the indi-
vidual most directly interested: II

tween $500 and $4,000 year 10 my
business for some ting pest, | mar,

kind and good looking, but he never
learned any trade, has no profession
and could not average $500 year. |

would not do to depend upea him. so
| kept on with my business. After a
time ! think he got little lazy, and,
as We we're S S;.., away during Tue day,
we could not keep house, and got sick
Of boarding. Finally, proposed that
he should keep house and would run
the business and find the money. We
have now lived very happily in this
way for tive years. My husband rises
aud builds the fire, gets breakfast, and

ness, He does the washing and ironing
and the cleaning, and | do not know
Of any woman who can beat him He
ia as neat as way. and can cook equal

An Adverse Arctic summer.

Nature.
The season of 1882 has, on account
of the state of the ice I'm the Arctic
seas, been one Of the most adverse on
record. Thus, while the Norwegian
walrus and white6sh hunters were
unable to get to the north Of SpitEen-
bergen and the Swedish meteorological
expedition to Mossel bay, no vessel
succeeded In reaching the Siberian
rivers. 1t appears from information
just to hand that the summer along
the coast of Siberia has been unusually
c)ld, while ineessant northeast winds
nave accumulated drift Ice 90 the
shores to such an extent that the est
uaries of the Yenissei and the Obi
were not once navipable in the season.
Thus the small steamer Dallman, Of
YennisSeisk, belonging to Baron
Knop, was unable to get from Yenis
sci into the Obi. When we remem.
Der, however, the reports of Mr.. Leigh
Smith and Sir Henry George Booth
of open water north and east OF
Novaya Zembia, it becomes apparent
that some other part of the polar
basin must have been very free from
ice during the summer. 1t seems to
be the opinion of several authorities,
az, for instance, Baron Nordenskjold,
that any vessel which had attempted
to penetrate by way of Rehring Strait,
would, no doubt, have demonstrated
the practicability of navigating the
Siberian seas every summer from one
end or the other, This year fresh
attempts will be made by Mr.. Sibiria.
kof, Baron Knop, and DR.. Oscar
Dickson to open up trade route with
Siberia from Europe; those, however,
acquainted with the Arctic seasons
would not be surprised to see the ice
in the summer Of 1888 as adverse to
Arctic voyag ng y it was in 1882.

The Demise of an Independent

Chattanooga Democrat.

The demise of the Post. Appeal.
and the escape Of its editor to the re-
sorts of the Northwest, was not I'm
expected, Indeed, that style of Jour
nal could not hope for substantial
support in a city where it played the
part Of an ishmselite. It assumed
the independent role" a lamentably
puny role in this Southern land. at
best, especially when independence"
is supposed to mean license to assault
anything and all things that did not
chime in with the quirks and crotchets
OF the management.
Conductors of newspapers are apt to
fall into the habit of asserting their
private whims and opinions as evi
dence of their independence of
thought and utterance. There is one
paper in the United States that fol
lows that programme successfully,
financially, but for a journal of its
enormous circulation is possessed of
limited influence. We refer to the
New York Herald. The Post. Appeal
attempted an aping Of the Herald. but
its hopes are blighted and its editor is
a wanderer. Should it be revived, we
hope it will come to the front as a
pronounced and able maintainer of
the time honored principles Of the
party of conservative PROGRESS. We
