II the government of the United States has
within Its constitutional domain no authority to
proyide against these evils bribery and corrup-
by corruption or controlled by violence and on :
rage without legal restraint, then, indeed is the
country In danger, and its best powers its highest
purposes, the hopes which 1t inspires and the
love which enshrines it are at the mercy of The
combinations of those who respect no right but
brute force on the one hand, and unprincipled
corruptonists on the other.
This is the language of the Supreme Court
OF the United States in the case of State VS..
Marlborough, case involving the right of
Congress to interfere to prevent intimida-
ton and fraud at an election for members
Of Congress. 1t was concurred in by the
entire court 1t not only practically affirms
the right of Congress to make or alter regu-
lations for the election of representatives,
but 1t afirms that such power and the exer
else of it may be necessary for the preserva-
ton Of republican government.
1t is difficult to see how, in the face of this
authoritative declaration from the highest
judicial body in the land, constituted es-
pecially for the purpose Of defining the pow
ers of Congress under the constitution,
Democrats can have the assurance to argue
that federal election law such as is now
before the House Of Representatives, which
applies entirely to the election of congress
men, is beyond the power of Congress to
enact. Nothing could be palmer than that
the court considered the power not only one
which Congress might exercise, but also one
that 1t ought to exercise whenever it deemed
1t necessary to secure pure elections.

Every year the people living along the
New Englandcoast are treated to an exhi-
bition of the enterprise of Mr. Leary of New
York and the Joggins. That gentleman dis
plays fertility of resource, in his attempts
to beat coasters out of the price of freight
money ON his logs from the Joggins to New
York, that il applied to the New York aoue-
duct or some other great work of engineer
ing would push it through to completion in
very short order. His projects for moving
luhDer IN bulk however have not been uni
tormly and. completely successful AS will
be remembered the first raft made went to
pieces in transit and tfioated all over the
broad ocean, while last year'sin the shane of
a cigar reached port after fashion This
year Mr. Leary conceived the idea of making
his raft up in series of sections like train
of cars, hitched together by chains and towed
by two immense tugs. The logs were set
aioat all right and for time moved well,
but IN the Bay of Fundy the raft, as freight
trains often do, broke.apart, and two Of the
IL sections each rs feet long, 35 wide and -
deep went astray. As it was in fog and
heavy sea no attempt was made to pick them
up again and they are still astray. Mr..
Leary deserves credit for his ingenuity
which will probably result in the safe trans
portation Of Is sections of the raft to New
York. But the two sections that went adrift
are likely to occupy larger place in the
minds of those who go down to the sea in
ships. 1t is not known whether they have
held together or have split up into individual
logs and timbers; but whichever is the case
there is room for the pertinent question
whether this annual menace to navigation Is

Another person who has reason to ponder
on what the Springfield Union calls the
"suchness of fame" is Sir Richard Burton,
who is lying dangerously i'll, neglected and
alone at his lodgings in London while Stan
ley is being feasted and honored to the last
degree. And yet Sir Richard. when plain
Captain Burton, penetrated into the far
country and made all of Stanley's greatness
as well as that of Livingston, Gordon. Emin
Pasha and the other lesser lights possible
1t is doubtful If there are many people who
could now tell as glibly as they can of Stan
ley, the facts Of Burton's romantic journey
10 the guise of MoSlem traveller to Mecca
and Elahedinah, and through Berberah TO
the sacred city of Harah, where no other in
fidel foot had ever trodden. Perhaps it is
the feeling that all Of the enthusiasm dis
played over him is merely the passing fancy
OF an hour, that makes Stanley so Indifferent
as be is said to be to it all. Such fame as ex-
plorers win is not that which is the same
yesterday ana today and forever.

Prof. Bayley In his articles on the value Of
Typographical map and the method of Sc
curing one, has, we are inclined to think,
ignored altogether too much the work of the
coast survey. A good deal of the work that
Prof. Bayley thinks ought to be done has al
ready been done by that survey, and done
too with great skill and accuracy. 1t is more
than forty years now since the attaches of
that service, which is generally conceded to
be one of the most accomplished in the gov
eminent, began work in Maine. 1t has sur
veyed the coast, or large part of it, and
prepared maps which for accuracy cannot be
surpassed. Its work has also been extended
inland, and some of the attaches are now at
work in Aroostook county. 1t may be a
question whether the coast survey is not do
ing the work which Prof. Bayley recon-
mends as rapidly as is demanded. That is a
matter, however, about which there will be
difference Of opinion. We do not propose to
argue that point. We simply call attention
to these facts, because they seem to have
been too largely ignored in Prof Bayley's
letters. 1t may be added that the work done
by the coast and geodetic survey is far more
accurate than that Of the geological survey.

before the united literary ocieties of the
University of Georgia sounded note of
alarm over the rapid progress of the negro

that the negro has been advancing in this
direction twice as fast as the white, and
unless white supremacy is soon to be a thing
Of the past, he thinks something must be
done to check this progress. But what
shall 1t beP Mr.. Patterson answers Dis
courage education among the negroes. But
howP By devoting the taxes paid by the
whites entirely to white schools, and appro.
priating for negro schools only the taxes
that are paddy the negroes. Mr.. Patterson
considers an educated negro dangerous
man, because he will inevitably begin to
think for himself, and then he will vote the
Republican lticket. Mr.. Patterson is GER
tainly to be commended for his frankness,
but from party point of view the Demo-
gratis of the House who are just now pre-
claiming with great vehemence that the me-
gro is treated fairly at the South and that
elections there are free and pure, will regret

Measuring the Flow of Tides.

A young scientist connected with the
United States steamer Fish Hawk, which
Is used in eSnfFi 9s w 1ae ag jhsy ths s9upa
measuring the tlow-of the tides. 1t is;
mado OF sheet copper in the shape some
what of fish, and ID about four feet
long. 1t is, when iD use, suspended
from the end of twenty foot spar rugged
to the side of the steamer, aud extending
at right angles with her, TO make the
action of the machine entirely indopend-
ent of currents that might be caused by
the steamer. The head of this mechan-
ical fish consists of o delicatelY made re-
volving screw or whell, not unlike in
construction and shape the propelling
screw of the steamer. When this fish is
lowered into the.water, it turns its head
toward the current, and is held in that
position by the tail, which serves the pur-
pose of rudder. Within the body of
the fish is placed delicate machinery,
which registers its revolutions made by
the revolving screw, and the rapidity of
the revolutions is transmitted to the
laboratory on the steamer by an ingeni-
thus recording the fSpidIsy of the cur
rent. An interesting fact ascertained by
the Government observers on this vessel
Is that at the extremities of the sound
the tide begins to flow inward near the
bottom one and one-half hours before it
begins to flow in the same direction at
tho surface of tho Water.-Neo York
