A Democratic Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Gen. Rosen-
Grams is the reputed author of a scheme
for the organization of the Democratic
party for the next presidential campaign.
He proposes to divide the Democratic vote
into sections of tens. fifties. hundreds,
thousands, ten thousands and twenty
thousands, each section to have a chief
whose duty it shall he to see that the vo-
ters under him shall be in line for party
service at the polls, or elsewhere. in ODE
dience to orders received by him from the
head centre.
The chiefs are also to be entrusted with
the duty of collecting campaign funds and
distributing campaign documents, as well
as the management of campaign work
within their jurisdiction. The National
Committee. under this system. would is
sue its order to State Committees, and
they in turn instruct chiefs of twenty
thousands. etc., down to chiefs of tens.
1t is understood that Gen. Rosencrans
proposes to raise campaign funds by vol
untary contributions of five cents each
from every enrolled Democrat in the Or
ganizatiOn. He estimates that the returns
from such a subscription would amount to
ST. 500, 900 per year upon the basis of the
still greater extent. 1t proposes to APP
portion 0ne-half of the million and
half dollars, to be received annually,
among the States for use in local and con-
gressional campaigns. while the other
$750,O00 shall be stored in the vaults of the
Democratic National Committee for use
in close contests, and to he distributed as
William III. Barnum and William l.. Scott
direct. The great beauty of the project
lies in the fact that it will forever place
the Democratic party beyond the necessity
OF applying to corporations OF monopolies
for assistance in the stress of political
weather.

Judge Harlan Sustains the Civil
Rights Bill

A Washington telegram Of the 18th gives
the following summary of Judge Harlan's
dissenting opinion in regard to the action
of the Supreme Court in annulling the
civil rights bill
Justice Harlan, of the United States SUI
preme Court in dissenting upon the opln-
ion in the civil rights cases, says: The
opinion in these cases proceeds upon a
ground entirely too narrow and artificial.
The substance and spirit of the recent
amendments to the constitution have been
sacrificed by subtle and ingenious verbal
criticism. The constitutional provisions
adopted in the interest Of liberty, and for
the purpose of securing through the ma
tional legislature, if needs be. the right in
herring in state freedom, and belonging to
American citizenship, have been so conStru-
de as to defeat the ends the people desired
to accomplish. which they attempted to ac-
complish and which they supposed they
had accomplished by changes in their fun
damental law. The court has departed
from the familiar rule requiring in the in
terpretation of constitutional provisions
that the full effect be given the intent with
which they were adopted. The power
conferred by the thirteenth amendment
does not rest upon implication OF infer
ence, and the power to enforce by appro-
pirate legislation was expressly granted
Congress, therefore, may enact laws to
protect the colored people against the de-
priyation on account of their race Of any
civil rights enjoyed by other freemen in
the same State, and such legislation may
be of direct and primary character, OPP
Grating upon the States. their officers and
agents and upon those welding power UNI
der the State. The national legislation may
without transcending the limits OF the
constitution. do for human liberty and the
fundamental rights of American citizen
ship. what it did with the sanction of the
Supreme Court for the protection OF slave
~ and the rights of masters OF fugitive
slaves In every material sense applicable
to the practical enforcement OF the four
teenth amendment railroad corporations.
keepers of inns and managers OF places OF
amuSementS, are agents OF States, because
amenable to public regulation and denial
by these instruments of State to citi-
zen because of his race of that equality of
civil rights, secured by him under the law,
is denial by the State. The supreme law
of the land has decreed that no authority
shall be exercised in this country upon the
basis of discrimination in respect to civil
rights against freemen and citizens because
of their race, color OF previous condition
of servitude. The assumption that the
general government cannot i'll advance OF
hostile State laws OF State proceedings, ac-
lively interfere for the protection OF any
rights, privileges, immunities secured by
the fourteenth amendment, is unauthor-
lied bV it's language.

A Queen 8 Opinion.

What peculiar feeling is experienced
by Americans the first time they gaze up
on royalty. Here, in this free country,
where every citizen is king and every
mother queen, a peep at royalty OF titled
princes and potentates does not come very
often. Morbid curiosity often leads our
citizens to act in a manner unbecoming
their high estate. Peruna is fast making
its way throughout the land and is becom-
ing known. Everywhere that it is used by
the sick and afflicted. it makes wonderful
ctres, and is given all the praise for its
good work.
j. M. Queen writes from Johnstown, w.
Va, that he has been sorely afflicted for
several years, but he was urged to try Pc
ratfaG, which he did, and he now feels that
he is over his trouble, and considers it the
greatest medicine in the world. He says he
has to go or send distance of fifteen miles
to obtain Peraaa, but it will repay him for
this. Ask for it at the nearest drug store

the farmer. For-ilfths OF the lapor put
on the present crop would have produced a
crop one-seyenth larger, II the yleld mad
been ike that IN 1879.
Turning TO the gross value Oh lhe crop
and It's relations TO consumptloh, me result
is no more favorable. In the SIX years
prior to 1881 our domestic consumption
averaged l.S5O.000,O 900 bushels annually.
The great reduction in swine IN 1857 has
prevented consumption from increasing as
rapidly as 1T would otherwise, but the de-
mands OF the current crop year are not
likely to be less than L, DOT, OOO, O0O bushels,
substantially the present crop. This appa-
rently leaves no margin Tor export, but the
surplus OF the last crop IS more than
enough to furnish the 42,OOO,0Oo bushels
which our exports have required IN the
years 1873, against an average OF $4,000
600 in the three years lS7S-S0. The pres
emit crop, therefore, gives no room for the
heavy exports which figured In the three
years mentioned. Its quality makes 1t
| improbable that it will produce the large
| yield OF pork to which the country owed SO
much OF its prosperity i'll those years.
Under the circumstances, a yield larger
than in the year ending with last October
is not probable, OF 9,90S, 040, OF which 50
per cent was Summer packing.
| High prices often make up lori small
crops with the farmer; but this make
weight does not this year exist, When
prices are low. The aggregate value OF the
wheat, corn and oats grown this year at
current New DIRK quotations is vi ,6l5.

Philadelphia Times The fixed conclusion
Of European statesmen and journalists ap-
pears to be that Ell Mahdi, the victor OF
the Soudan, must in some way be con-
quered. The impression is ginning that If
left alone he will sooner OF later march up
the Nile and drive all foreigners out Of
Egypt. Already the stirring effects OF his
victory are felt through all the provinces
Of Northern Africa. And France is said
to be growing as anxious as England lest
the population of the whole Mohammedan
world should conclude That the False
Prophet is after all true prophet and
should revolt in his favor against all other
temporary rulers. 1t was thought that
this condition of things would come during
Arabi's rebellion, but it is everywhere adj
mitted that the probabilities OF such an
uprising are greater now than they ever
were before. And the question that is at
this moment pressing on the attention OF
the Old World is not, Will the French at
tack Bac-Ninh? bu5, Who shall capture
Ell Mahdi ? All told, the present strength
of the British army forces in Egypt is be-
tween 5000 and 1000 men. The recreant
Khedive, at last we'll scared. wants Eng
land to send an army to annihilate Ell
Mahdi and threatens to ask the French
and other nations to do it if England will
not. The French are quite willing to take
a hand. The Sultan would send 10000
troops to conquer the fanatics, but Eng
land is afraid the Sultans troops would
turn fanatics too and fight with El Mahdl,
not against him. In a word, 1T begins to
look as if the fire was kindled that would
light the wide world with flames OF war,
and in any outlook from this hour the
fates seem to favor the despised Prophet
of the Soudan.
