Weather is mild and seasons nice.
Our farmers seem to have done
more work this spring than we have
ever known in one spring before.
Corn crops look favorable. Cotton
has come up the best and looks the
strongest we have seen in several
years.
Judging by the past and present
we will have a grand harvest this
fail, for the planters have used more
homemade manures and done more
work than ever before. and at this
time crops are in good condition.

We do not know why the Democrats in
the national House of Representatives did
not on Tuesday last refrain from voting
and make the point Of order that no quo
rum had voted. Upon the motion of Mr..
CANNON to lay on the table Mr.. BLAND's APP
peal from the decision of the Speaker the
vote was-ayes 149, noes 1876. The Repub-
licans lacked II of having n quorum Of
their own; but the needed quorum was
made up by the Democrats, and the out
rageous decision of the Speaker was sus-
tanned by the House Of Representatives.
We take it for granted that the Demo-
Gratis in the House had what they consider
good reasons for their course. What these
reasons are we cannot imagine.
Again: There are lGl Democrats in the
House of Representatives. Only 1876 voted
on the appeal above mentioned. Why not:
Where were the other twenty-five Demo-
Gratis? II fourteen of themissing ones had
been present the Speakers decision could
have been ovcrruled. When II requires a
two-thirds vote 10 pass resolution or bill
In either house of Congress the pairing of
one member with only one Is not con-
sidered fair. There ought to be two
50 one in order that the pairing
may be fair. SO in the case under
consideration The Republicans ought to

cause il the Democrats refuse to vote. and
make the point OF order that there was no
quorum voting, they viii need the support
Of only one fifth Of tho members present
10 entitle them TO demand the yeas and
nays. In other words the Republicans
must have lG6 votes in order to enable
them by their own votes 20 pass any reso-
luton or bill or adopt any motion. whereas
the Democrats need only one fifth Of the
members present in order to demand the
yeas and nays-that is, to flibuster sue
cessfully. In the case Of Mr. CAsSoN's
motion 81 Democrats were all that were
required to demand the yeas and nays.
This statement of facts shows that tho
Democrats in the House of Representa-
tiyes cannot afford TO pair member with
member with the Republicans when it re-
quires lG6 votes 20 constitute a quorum
aud only, say, 81 to demand the yeas aud
nays.
