in the House Of Representatives. So, in case
of error or dispute, or verifcation, it is il.
keeping that the House and Senate, or the
whole body Of the peoples represent
atives should decide" The PROPOSE
ton that the executive should be
elected by the House or by Congress
was specifically and in terms defeated in the
constitutional convention, as well as one that
the election should be by the people direct.
That any intelligent person should say what
the News does, in the belief that the House of
Representatives, acting as House, has any
thing whatever to do with the election of the
President, only shows what a vast deal of ig-
norance and loose thought there is aaoat on
this subject; and the more ex cathedra the as
sertion, as rule, the denser the ignorance and
the looser the thinking

The New Albany Ledger, stanch Demo
cratic, is not pleased with the action of the
Democratic majority in the Legislature, which
has voted that there shall be no investigation
of the affairs Of the State Treasury. It says:
"The Ledger has good deal of confidence
in the present Legislature, and in those at Che
head of both the Senate and House. and these
remarks are made by way of kindly warn
ing. Ugly rumors are flying over the
State, some of which. if, true will prove very
damaging to the State, to the Democratic
party and to individual members thereof. The
present Legislature has it in its power to make
the State securely Democratic next year, or to
give Senator Harrison or soma other Repub-
lican, another term in the United States SEN

THE Sullivan Democrat saws:

cit occurs to us that the Democratic major
ity has committed an error in not prosecuting
the investigation to the fullest extent GAS to
effectually silence all charges or even insinua-
tons, on this subject in the next campaign.
The public is exceedingly sensitive on the
subject of the safety of its treasure A voter
must have confidence in the integrity of the
man who receives and counts his ballot and
in the honesty of the man who has charge of
the public treasury; and a bold charge iii the
next canvass that the public moneys have
been misappropriated, or that favorites of the
State Treasurer have gambled away the peo-
pies money in the Chicago market will be
damaging to the Democratic party"
This is the view of all sensible men. There
are few Democrats here and there who are
smart enough at least to see the "nine hole"
in which the caucus has run the party. For
day or two there seemed to be probability
that Senator Johnson's resolution would be
taken up and promptly passed, but that APP
pears to have blown over.

GENERAL WoLsELEY wants the special cor
respondents of London papers recalled from
the Soudan on account of the scarcity Of
rations. That is. short supplies is the osten-
1ible reason; but it is very plain that the COM
mander Of the English army is not highly i'm
pressed with the value and importance Of his
literary attaches or he would find means to
fetual them. Perhaps he is right in dis
,ensing with their services but it is great
pity that he cannot have access to American
newspapers. If he failed TO learn how to con-
duct the Egyptian campaign successfully in
loo different ways, he would at least find
cut some surprising things about warfare that
had never entered into his studies before.

Some one suggested that Whites name be added,

MoNsIGNoR CAPEL has been generally re-
a scholar, little of prelate, little Of a
dilletanti and little of dandy; but he has
some good ideas, or utters some, at least,
whether they are his own or adopted and
adapted. He says the desks in our schools
are so constructed as to force pupil to choose
between round shoulders and bad sight. They
lie so nearly level that the body must be bent
down to them to get the head within reach,
or if the body be kept erect the eye is un-
naturally and unwholesomely strained to
cover the unusual distance So he argues very
sensibly, to our thinking, that the proper con-
struction of school desks would set the
inclined top at an angle of forty five degrees
or more, so that while the body is kept in an
upright position-just that indispensable to a
proper exercise and development of the lungs
the eye is yet allowed to approach close
enough to the book on the desk to see it
clearly without straining. The piano maker
learned this long ago. He sets the little
music frame almost perpendicularly in front
Of the player, so that the eye looks straight at
it, while the backbone is kept as stiff as can
didate's in close campaign. The painter has
had the lesson thoroughly impressed by uni
form practice since easels were invented.
The only reason the clergyman
has not applied 1t is that the
light of the desk before his face would
hide it, and make him talk like the priest of
an ancient oracle from sort of hiding place.
The printers case is nearly horizontal because
he knows the places of his letters without
looking. If he didn't, he couldn't make his
salt The wisdom of the world has uniformly
Strengthened and shortened the distance be-
study, so that the eye could maintain the
longest and steadiest contemplation with the
least fatigue, locally or generally, ex-
cept in school desks. These are all fat, and
adapted only to a horizontal posture which,
however studious is not capable of convenient
use in school-room. They are an anomaly
of awkwardness and misftting construction in
land of practical sagacity, that promptly lays
hands upon every device to save labor and re-
duce the wear and tear of the system.

RELIGIOUS insanity seems to be of an I'M.

scss one, but being bachelor was forced to
crafty his murderous propensity by going to

LORD WoLsELEY, commandments of the Brit

ireland, in 1888. His full name is Garnet Joseph
Wolseley. Entering the British army in 1852, he
served in Burmah, in the Crimea in India during the
Sepoy mutiny, and in China in 1860. For several
years after in 1867, he stationed in Canada and
was knighted for his services in suppressng the Red
river rebellion. In 1874 he brought the Ashantee
war to successful conclusion, and made amajor-

with considerable opposition from property holder

extra fair price for it, which Croker agreed to
give. Then the price doubled and Croker ac

the grounds with good taste, and then fenced
