Small TrlCkeTy.

The desperate straits OF the Democratic
party require desperate Tricks In Offset.
one Of the meanest is that 20 which Senl-
tor Hale called attention during debate oI
the deficiency appropriation bin. lie said
that It seemed to be the policy of the Dam.
ocrats in the House TO omit necessary itemS
from the lii, knowing that the Repub i
Gals Of the Senate, having proparregard
for the public business, would insert them.
The additional appropriations will then go
before the country in Democratic ora5ory
as Republican extravaganza.
This is not a new trick, and it 1; time
the Republicans took advantage Of the
situation to defeat it. The Democratic
party are responsible for the administration
Of affairs, and they should be held account.
able for any failure. They are willing to
sacrifice the public business 10 order to
gain political advantage. Let them shoul-
der the odium that properly belongs to
their trckery.
The Republicans OF the Senate should he
warned by Senator Iale's suggestion. De.
mocracy has been lifted to power on false
rretInses, and II hopes TO hold power by
tie gOod.natured endurance OF people
whose confidence it daily abuses. The Re.
publicans should let the Democrats do tue
lublic business according to their own mar
row views and suffer the consequences.

For The judiciary Errors ia Italy.

The Honorable John Fdlleta. of Snug.
gia, a prominent member Of the lta'tIn
parliament aud an able ilrecOusIlt from
the ancient province OF Novara, in Pic'-
mont, made forcible speech in the Italian
chamber Of deputies on the argument Of
"iudiciary errors" describing ia prIct!-
cal and eloquent manner the errors male
in the trial Of the famous case Of Amilelr
Cipriani, condemned for life to state
prison In the island OF Elba, OF Napoleonic
renown.
The manly speech of the honorable Fll-
delta has awakened new sympathIcs iu
favor Of the unjustly condemned Amear
Cipriani, who, In spite of his disfranchise-
ment derived from his condemnation to
life servitude, has since been elected three
times member OF parliament by his patri-
otic friends and electors OF the province OF
Romagua, who thus used their political
votes as a protest against the erroneous
condemnation Of their fellow. citizen, Ami
lear Cipriani.
1t was high time that the powerful voice
the honorable Ohm Faldetta be heard In the
Italian parliament for the judiciary errors
III lldIyi tdhiuS IOI tuSLle Jut shu Ch5c Vi
Amilear Cipriani, and with pathetic elo-
quence enumerating and passing IN review
all the cases OF the different victims OF j1-
dietary errors in Italy on record till down
TO the saddest Of all, viz, that of the pOrc,O
.tornNrettO Of Venice (the poor little baker,,
who, in his early morning duty of carrying
the bread to his customers, found a man
dead IN the street from q sti'etto wound in
the breast, and he Immediately tried to eN.
tract the knife from the mln's wound when
the police caught him In the act, and, having
no witness in his favor, and the dead u "a
could not speak, the little baker WAS ar
rested, enormously tlied, convicted, hanged,
and afterward, through the confession OF
the guilty man, was pronounced innocent
but the poor little baker was then dead, on
account Of judiciary errors. Fortunately,
there is no longer capital punishment 10
Italy.
We have perused with much interest the
speech OF Signor Faldetta, in pamphlet
form, and would be glad to see one OF our
able lawyers in the House of Representa-
tIves or n the Senate introduce a bill for
correcting the judiciary errors in America,

NIr. PInmh,s I,esolntIon.

The resolution offered on Monday by the
Hon. Ralph Plumb, Of Illinois, asserting
that the funding law had been changed
after its adoption and asking an investiga-
ton, was referred to the judiciary commit
tee Of the House and will soon be reported
back with recommendation In favor Of
investigation.
The subject is one OF the greatest magni-
tude, and every effort should be made to
change OF the word "forn to "after" was
effected. 1t ought not to be impossible to
fx with certainty the person who did the
deed and those who inspired It,.
The object Of the change is so apparent
that no search need be made for that; the
change was to make the bonds more valu-
able TO the holders,
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has held
since 1t first examined into the subject,
months ago, that the wording of section
3Gg3 fully authorized the payment Of any
bonds issued since the date OF its passage,
Mar. IS, 1860, and still believes that is the
law, in which belief 1t is supported by Con.
gresham Plumb, after the searching inves'
tigation made by him.
But whether this Is so or not the invest
cation should be made, and II 1t is estab
lsttd that the funding law was altered
alter its passage so that the original con
tract. which was the law itself, wt'
charged, then even the doub;ng TnJm ,se:
will have to admit chat the bonds can bC
redeemed at the pleasure Of the Unted
States.
Ky all means let US have speedy an
searching Investigation. No more iulpor
tant question is before Congress. Tner,
need lie no further trouble about the sur
plus, II the fact is established that the bonl'
are redeemable.

The Contest from the Fourth Aiabami
District.


The testimony In the case OF Judge j. V.
McDunle, who contested the seat of tue
Hon. \. e. Davidson, from the fourth dis
trict OF Alabama, reveals state OF facts
that should be known to all the voters Of
the country.
This district is composed of the counties
OF Dallas, Hale, Lowndes. Perry, and Will
cox. In 1850, according to the United
States census, this district contained 5000
white and 23,54O colored voters. The nat
ural increase since that time would be about
20 per cent, so that we may assume that
there are about 10000 white and $4,000
colored voters In the district.
1t is a fact not dlsputable, and In fact not
disputed, that the colored men almost
unanimously and universally in Alabama
vote the Republican ticket. This district, In
the apportionment made by Democratic
legislature, was expected to return Repub.
lican candidate for several terms. Mr..
Shelley, now fourth auditor OF the treasury,
was returned from that district several times,
but, in fact, he was never elected. Iu the
forty-nlnth Congress Mr.. Davidson was the
Democratic candidate, was counted IN,
and the same process has been carried out
IN the lifteth Congress.
Mr.. McDullie has been Tor twenty-tree
years a resident of the district. lie was Il
soldier In the Union army, mustered ont a.
Selma, aud remained there, becoming a
planter, and for time Judge of the pro.
bate court OF LDwndes, where he now
resides. lie married IN that country, has
children born there, Qnl Yet is called
carpet-bagger. Having been cluntel our,
Mr.. McDunlo determiuel 10 contest Mr..
Davidson's right TO the seat, wen Rnowiog
that he lMcDuli"), aud not Davidson, was
elected.
In selma, one of the llrgcs. towns "a
the district, aud largely Republican, there
were hut 300 votes polei; this Is estab-
lisEel by competent testimony. The Re-
puhlicans refused 10 vote because they
knew their votes wou'd not he counted.
The Democrats dId not care to vote, aud
the result was that only about 800 votes
were polled, but ! ,ll5 was the return IN ada
by the counting officers Precinct after
precinct was proven TO have been returned
In the same way, Az one voting place over
500 votes were given out by Mr., M2Duilie's
friends and voted for him, yet he was re.
turned but 30 votes at that place, At an
other precinct the Judge OF election received
the votes from the voters for Mr.. McDuille,
dropped then on the floor, and took David
son ballots out Of his pockets and put them
in the ballot-box. At still another, testi-
mony shows 495 poled for McDune and
less than 50 counted for him. And 50 1t is
through . long line Of fraud from the be-
ginning OF the book to the end--the delibe-
rate robbery Of the franchise.
The Congress Of the United States cannot
permit Mr., Davidson 10 retain Q seat OBJ

The light house board has received a re-
port from the keepers of the Tillamook
Rock light station, Oregon, in regard to
severe storm which visited that coast early
in December. The board considers the re,
port important as being record OF tse
breaking OF the sea at point nearly 1860
feet above high water mark. The storm
lasted seven days, aud was one OF the
severest known 10 the Pacific coast. The
light house IL built on u rock which rises
nlnCtysiX feet above high water mark, and
the focal plane Of the light is thirry.eiIht
feet higher still, During the storm the ac.

water rose at least twenty-five feet above

A New Industry.

The investigation recently made by some
Of our capitalists into the practical work
ing Of the Crawford cotton seed cleaner has
resulted in the forming Of a company, with
sufficient capital subscribed to establish
cotton seed oil mill In this city. 1t Is the
intention to use the English process, as 1t
Is claimed to be the best combined with
the use Of the Crawford cleaner. 1t is esti-
mated that fully five tons OF cotton seed
meal will be manufactured each day. We
have made special inquiry OF practical men
as to their opinion of the value OF Mr..
Crawford's invention, and Mai. Sidney A.
Jcnas, editor Of the Aberdeen (Nliss,) Foam.
htr and private secretary to Assistant Sec
retary Muldrow, Of the Interior Depart
ment, says:
The Crawford cotton seed cleaner Is grand
success. II will increase the value Of cotton
seed in the south immensely. IL removes all
the fiber from the ordinary seed rs they are
taken from the gin with the lint on them with.
out damage to the hull, thus making them
more valuable for commercial use than the
Egyptian seed, which sell in England from so

Cotton seed with lint on them cannot be
