The Forty.seventh Congress left undone
some things which It ought to have done
that Is the habit Of every Congress-but
II did more conspicuously good things
than any previous Congress had done Tor
years. The Speaker was justified in say
log in his validictory to the House, that
the Forly4eventh had been peculiarly .
business Congress" as on the opening day
he had predicted it would be. ..
Through law passed by that Congress
the country says to the Mormons and to the
world that polygamy is an otfense to be
dealt with, andth law provides the means.
The Mormons profess to stand in no fear
and Of the law, but there has been
little time 10 develop it's terrors or its
weaknesses. A three per cent bond bill
was passed, and the funding Of a large part
Of the public debt under its provisions is
already working a great saving in the item
OF interest al
Another financial measure Of Importance
was the provision to extend the National
hank charters, that the best banking sys'
tenn the country has known might go on
without interruption. Letter postage has
been reduced from three cents to two
cents-a reduction Of one.third, saving
to letter writers and an encouragement to
hrainess and the spread OF intelligence.
This is reform which the people will ap-
precate every day.
A very great break has. been made In in
ternal taxation, and whether the reduction
under this head shall be sS5,OOO,OOO or
$i50OO,OOO, more or less, Congress has leg
islated in the. right direction. With the e1-
ception Of the spirits tax and one'half oil
the tobacco and cigar tax, and the bank
circulation tax, the system OF internal rev.
eaue war taxation has been swept away.
Aad it is to be borne in mind that to
g.in SO Just and polite an end it was
good legislating to pass the tariff bill. II
oae fell both fell, and all reductions with
them. 1t is to be regretted that injustice
to any interest should have been put in
the tariff bill, but it is some consolation
to know that defects Of legislation can be
remedied, the more glaring the more likely
to move Congress to remedial action.
The ISrELLIoEScEB has found many
things in the action and inaction OF the
Forty.seventh Congress to criticise, but the
certain good that was accomplished will far
outweigh the possible i'll. The Speaker well
said, "All legislation has been in thenature
Of relief"
It was certainly a clean Congress. II
Jobs were put through they were too small
to attract attention. II we except the
River and Harbor bill Of last year, about
which there are honest differences OF
opinion, and the unsupported free trade
accusations against protectionists, there
were not even charges Of corruption. Hon
esty OF intention ought to count for great
deal. .....

Love and murder In siam.

Even in Siam the course Of true love
does not run smooth. A siamese paper
tells the following cover true tale" Of that
distant land: "Ai Saun, aged twenty.one,
became attached to Ambaang Waun, and
reGuested elders to solicit the girl in mar.
riage from her parents. The parents de.
clined the proposals. saun, however,
knew that Amdaang Waun was attached
10 man in the priesthood, named Chu'ey,
and. therefore, entertained bitter enmity
to Chu'ey. On August II, 1881, Saun,
Sang and Raut embarked in boat and
concealed themselves at the temple Wat
Lab. Raut was stationed to watch the
boat, Saang was stationed by the wall Of
the temple to watch the passage, while
Saun, with his flint-lock gun, loaded with
shot, advanced to the room Of the priest
Chu'ey, and fired upon him. The priest
survived the wounds inflicted only one
day. The criminality OF all parties was
proved in Court. Raut and saang were each
sentenced to sixty strokes OF the rattan and
confinement in the penitentiary. saun
was sentenced to ninety strokes OF the
rattan and decapitation at the temple Of
Wat P'laplachai. He was executed on De-
cember Is, 1882. l.4e.f

simply say, that if either party nominate
men holding the views as expressed by tbs
votes of one of our Representative in

ton of granting to bis constituents the
right to vote on "local opt iou," they will
not receive the support OF the citizens of

cRIOLE SUMMER NIGHTS CARNIVAL
NOVELTIES.
Baltimore evidently takes to mystic
pageantry and its attendant splendors
with a vim equal to that manifested in
Mardi Gras jollIties in New Orleans, and
an enterprise never before equaled any,
where in such sort of things. The prepare
tions, for this years festivities, which will
embrace the three days from September
l1th to 18th inclusive, have already
been actively under way for two mouths
or more. In the way of pageant, it would
be difficult to imagine more extensive or
brilliant programme than that laid out
The number Of tableau cars will b. double
that ever before attempted in any single
parade elsewhere, and in dimensions, COR
geouS construction and superb finish will
certainly bear off the palm of the world,
The wonderful strides which have of
late been made with electric light will be
turned to striking advantage, as this char
acter of illumination will be introduced in
many novel forms. The first nights dis
play, made in honor of the arrival
OF Lord Baltimore, will be as unique as it
will be magnificent. 1t is proposed to arm
the military with electric lights in at least
ten different colors to place the powerful
electric focus light at many points to
fairly turn night into day, and in many
more ways make the night a memorable
one.
The feature OF this years Oriole will be
the night displays, and it has we'll been
termed a Summer Nights Carnival. Al
usual, the r., & o. is foremost in making
every possible arrangement for the trans.
portation Of it's patrons, and in nothing
will there be facility lacking to insure
the utmost comfort ana complete satisfac-
tion. The rates by the Baltimore 6 Ohio
will be down, way down, and the limit of
exacting eau demand. 1t will be well tn
lot down the date in some ccnvenient
place September 18th, 18th and 18th.

it's base. 1t is sixteen miles east Of Rom
ney, and about twenty-five miles north Of
Winchester.
There is scant growth of trees and
brush on the western side of the noun
tain and near the centre for a mile it is
entirely bare. At this point the mountain
is covered from base to summit with loose
sandstone boulders blush gray in color
and very porous, varying in size from an
egg to bushel measure. Along the base
OF this vast stone heap, cold air constant
" issues with sufficient force to sway a
handkerchief when held close to the open

rushes out of the mountain side, clear as
crystal and almost as cold as ice. The
temperature OF tins spring is 80 degrees
Fahrenheit by actual test.

a .NAMELESS PARTY.

1t is amusing to read the calls of the
Malone County Chairmen in the Whio for
county and senatorial conventions, and
must be- puzzling to the faithful ally who
attempts to find out what party claims his
allegiance. In the 18th Senatorial dis
trict, the call is for the "Readjuster-
Coalition" party. In Brunswick, the
caller is the Republican Chairman" In
Buckingham, the call is for s. Read usters. -
In Manchester. the ''Coalition Party" is
called together. In Botetourt, Judge
Nays county, the call is for "Readjusters
Independent Democrats and Liberals 1t
would greatly simplify the matter to the
voters comprehension if all the chairmen
would simply call for the Malone party.
Any name is better that the miscellaneous
titles that are now confusing the faithful
allies of all hues.

Pri maries for Members of the

tom and it had many prejudices 10 over
come. Its conspicuous fairness, however,
and its!reedom from many of the objections
alleged against conventlo MS, or caucuSes,
overcame al! obstacles, and tie people ac-
cepted it as the way to chouse their stand
ard bearers; and polled in the primaries a
vote nearly as large as that rolled up on
the regular election day.
This emphatic endorsement, at first
blush and under adverse circumstances
should commend the plan to the party
leaders in future elections. The objec-
ton that it IS cumbrous and not necessary
IN cases when only one officer is to be
chosen, like for instance, the coming cleo
ton this Fall. when We select ouly can
didate for the House of Delegates,) does
not hold good. These positions are al
ways important ones, and the persons who
ill them should truly represent the feel

One-fourth of our Democratic voters have
in the past been present at them, aud they
have been attended by excitement and
contests that have seriously impaired the
efficiency of the party. On the other hand
the primary election plan avoids all the
dangers surrounding the convention. 1t
is practically an election in which only
Democrats vote, and the man maj rity
OF the party want to represent them is
certain to be chosen. With good. discreet
men to conduct the primary land they can
easily be obtained) there can be no wire
pulling, no trickery, no trading, and no
packing. Every Democrat has an equal
voice in the selection Of his representa-
tive, and he can unreservedly and without

majority of his brother Democrats, fair
