The industrial exhibition at Willard
Hall, given under tho auspices Of the
First Mission School of Cookery and
Housework, Washington School of Cook
cry, ST. Marys Industrial School and Met
ropolitan Industrial School, is receiving
good patronage, which gives encourage
ment to those responsible for its manage
ment Mrs. Bancroft Davis and Miss
Stanton have general supervision, while
many other ladies are giving attention to
the detail work. In fostering and bring
ing these schools to tho successful stage
that they have now reached only those
who have labored with them know how
much watching and painstaking attention
has been requisite. Those intrusted with
their management have borrowed largely
from home time and duties and bestowed
it on these schools. Having gained the
point beyond which failure Is left behind
and submitted the result of their system
to public scrutiny and criticism, they are
now receiving that Endorsement they
so well deserve. These exhibitions
were proposed aud given In order that
the citizens might sec what has been done
in the schools and how valuable they
have become in atfording opportunities
for boys aud girls TO become educated in
manner useful to themselves hereafter,
and put thom in possession of the way to
earn their own livelihood.
THE attendance at the exhibition yes
turday equalod that Of tho day previous.
Tho tables were not SO heavily loaded
with saleable articles, as the many pur-
chases made the day before had reduced
the supply. Among tho specimens of
handiwork attracting attention at tho
tables of the Metropolitan Industrial
School was pair of pants made by a boy
10 years of age-his second effort. He
was furnished with the pattern and did
the cutting and making without immo-
diate instruction. The job is nicely done,
aud the stitching, especially around the
button-holos, would do credit to much
older person.
At the cookery tables during the day
the girls found many customers, and as
all the baking and cooking was done In
sight, and the viands were reliBhed, IL is
good proof that the food WAS appreciated.
In the evening an "old folks concert
was given, the stage being filed with
young people in the costumes of their
grandfathors' days, and the programme
rendered was well received.
This will be the last day of the exhi-
bition. From IL to . o'clock tho admis.
sion will be Free and fine lunch served
for very moderate price. In the even
ing there will be concert by the Selika
! Quartette.

The polygamy case of Ru1gcr Clawson
against the United States, which has been once
before the Supreme Court at the present term
upon the question of the prisoners right to be
released on bail pending an appeal, came up
again yesterday for argument upon It's merits
Clawson was indicted for polygamy at tho
April term, 1884, of a district court Of Utah.
and after due trial was found guilty and sen.
fenced to a term of imprisonment. lie ap-
pealed TO the supreme court Of the territory,
and that tribunal in January last affirmed the
Judgment of the court below. lie now brings
ground that the grand and petit juries by
which he was indicted and tried were illegally
constituted, The alleged illegality in the con
stitution of the grand jury consisted In the
exclusion upon challenge OF persons who be-
leyed they had right 10 have more than ono
uudiyOrcod wife living at the same time. The
illtgulty In the case of the petit Jury consisted
Ill tne drawing of Jurors from an open
venre" after the whole annual Jury list of 200
had been exhausted through the exclusion OF
pOlygamists. The question presented was
whether Jurors thus impanelcd were legally
competent to lndlct and try the prisoner for
the ofiense charged.
Counsel for the prisoner maintained that the
| discriminating challenge provided for In the
Edmunds act was not applicable to the iul-
/ paneling OF grand jury, but only to the
| special case OF prosecution for bigamy oI
| polygamy under statute OF the United States.
! As regards the petit jury, counsel argued that
there was no statute, either congressional or
| territorial, which conferred power on the
| the marshal TO summon jurors under 1t.

On the tariff, on the silver question, on

Gen. Lawton-The Fourtocnth Amend
mcnt.

II is hardly conceivable that the Presi-
dent has yielded 90 Mr.. Bayard's reck-
less argp"-ent that Gen. Lawton-a
graduate of West Point and afterward
un officer in the confederate army-can
hold Office under the government OF the
United States without having his politi-
cal disabilities removed.
The fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution declares that mo person shall
hold any office, civil or military, under
the United States, or under any state,
who, having previously taken an oath as
an officer of the United States, or as a
member of any state legislature, or as an
executive or judicial officer Of any state,
shall have engaged in insurrection against
the same, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof. But Congress, by vote
of two-thirds of each house, may remove
such disability"
1t is understood that Mr.. Bayard now
holds that Andrew johnson pardoned Gen
| Lawton for his treason, aud therefore the
fourteenth amendment does not atroct
him. Mr.. Bayard must know than An
drew johnson pardoned perhaps 10000
Just as he did Gen. Lawton. His pardon
is, no doubt, good against an indictment
for treason, and could be plead in bal
against prosecution therefor. But Mr.
Bayard ought to know further that Con
gress, without in the least disturbing
such pardons as Gen. Lawton holds
proposed an amendment to the constitu
tion, and the states adopted it, by which
q new qualification was enacted for hold
ing office. This qualification does no
interfere with President JohnsoD's par
don, nor does President Johnson's pardon
interfere with 1t.
We advise Mr.. Bayard that he woult
do we'll to observe the constitution whicl
he swore to support. Gen. Lawton's ap
pointment may, in Mr.. Bayard's Wow, b.
very important but perhaps not i'm
portant enough to warrant contemptu
Gus defiance Of the government OF tn
United States. The fourteenth amend
ment is, no doubt, very offensive to MI
Bayard's tastes, but that will hardly b
sufficient excuse to the people for its ia
violation.
Finally, Nr. Bayard would do we'll,
he appoints Gen. Lawton, to explain Il
the public why all those who have hith
erto sought federal office, with Andrew
Johnson's pardon in their pockets, hav
been required, in addition thereto, t.
have their disabilities under the four
teenth amendment removed by Congress
Can Mr.. Bayard give the name of one o
this class who has been inducted int
office under any other conditionsP

This day the 9th Of April, is, next tc
tho natal day of the republic, tho most
important anniversary in our national
history. 1t is tho anniversary of the
surrender at Appomattox.
Twenty years ago to-day the storm oI

tho land with wreck aud ruin, blasting
hearts and hopes, spreading desolation
on every hand was brought TO n close.
The dark clouds broke and rolled away.
and tho bright sun Of peace shone down
on land drenchod in blood shone, too,
on republic that had vindicated its
right to live, on the ashes Of the fatal
doctrine Of secession, on tho corpse ol
tho peculiar institution whose existence
had engendered that sectional hate which
eliminated in our great civil conflict ;
shonc, too, on a people who had beon
strengthened by suffering, and on Sec
tions which had been taught respect for
each others sincerity and courage in the
hard, cruel. but not utterly useless
school of war.
Aud on that calm spring morning
| twenty years ago to-day, the sun Of peace
( smiling through the riven clouds Of war
shone on country possessing grandei
/ possibilities than any other land on earth
/ and on people educated by heroic en-
durance and fitted by fiery aflliction tc
appreciate their opportunities and Il
make their possibilities realities.
At such n time as this let us recall tha
scene at Appomattox with malice to

just and to pay due tribute to the leader
ofthe Union armies to that quiet, modes
man who, although the chief actor in {

seemed utterly unconscious Of the great
