Bickering and quarreliDg would soon
break off love afflirs; consequently
lovers indulge in such only to very
limited extent. But some people
men and women both-when they
have once got married, think they
may do just as they please, and it will
make no difference. They make d
great mistake; it causes all the differ

fonder and women more devoted at
ter marriage, if they have the slight
est idea of being happy as husbands
and wives. 1t is losing sight Of this

DRAWING FORA VERDiCT.-A Gu
rious way of reaching a verdict has
just been discovered in the case OF
Thomas A. Pike, the alleged wife
murderer, who was on Wednesday
found guilty of manslaughter at
Portland. After the jury retired it
was discovered that they stood eleven
for conviction OH a charge of man
slaughter, and one for conviction on
a chare of assault and battery. AT
ter some eight hours session and ear
nest discussion, it was agreed that
eleven ballots marked guilty" and
one ballot marked "not guilty" should
be put into hat, and the juror in IA
vor of conviction for assault and bat
terry was to draw one. If he drew
the ballot mot guilty. the YER
dict was to stand as it was, eleven to
one; but if he drew guilty the
verdict of convection for manslaughi
ter was to be rendered. He drew
the latter, and the verdict was so rem
dered. The matter being brought
to the nutice of the court. the YER
dict has been set aside and new hi-
al ordered.

There is blue outlook for the Re-
publican party in both these States.
In Illinois the party has been demOr-
allied by its leaders, and the leaders
are now demoralized by the party.
Having been told by their Senators
and Oongressmen that the stagnatiOn
of business is due to lack of curren-
cy, many of their voters will now drift
away to the party which promises to
give them more currency. With what
face can Logan and Oglesby entreat
them to stand by the party when the
party itself has gone back on Logan
and Oglesby? Then the financial
crisis, which is still grinding its dreary
grist everywhere, will grind hard
against them, for panics always tell
against the party in power. The long
list of exposures of official corruption
has produced disgust and lcathing in
the public mind, and this, too, will
send dismal account of stay at-homes
on election day-enough to topple
over many Congressman who now
fancies himself safe. In Indiana the
same causes will operate upon a con-
stituency so evenly divided that there
is no margin to come and go. The
farmers movement in both States
means business, and in both will make
a desperate push for the Legislature.
1t will be distracting conflict, in the
midst of which the Democratic party,
encouraged by recent successes in New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Oregon,
will put in an appearance, in all prob
ability, with a hard money platform
and, if the infationists are divided,
will have large odds in their favor

/ From the Richmond Enquirer.l
! The following prophecy, which has


been nearly literally fulfilled is from an


address of the Southern delegates in


Congress to their constituents in 1919,


Hon. John c. Calhoun being the au-


thor:


"lfemancipation should ever be ef-


fected, it will be through the agency Of


the Federal Government. controlled BY


the dominant power of the Northern


States against the rcsistanceands strug-


gle of the Southern. 1t can then only


be effected by the prostration of the
white race; and that would necessarily
engender the bitterest feelings of hos
tihty between them and the North.
Owing their emancipation to them,
they could regard them as friends, pa
irons and guardians, and center ac-
cordingly, all their sympathy in them.
The people of the North would not
fail to reciprocate. and to favor them
instead of the whites. Under the in
fiuence of such feelings, and impelled
by fanaticism and love of power, they
would not stop at emancipation.
Another step would be taken TO raise
them to political and social equality
with their former owners By giving
them the right of voting and holding
public Offices under the Federal Gov
eminent.


We see the first step toward it in
the bill already alluded toto vest the
few blacks and slaves with the right to
vote on the question of emancipation
in this district But when once raised
to an equality they would become the
fast political associates of the North,
acting and voting with them on all
questions, and by this political union
between them, holding the white race
at the South in complete subsection.
The blacks and profigate whites that
might unite with them could become
the principal recipients of Federal Of
fees and patronage, and would in con-
sequence be raised above the whites in
the South in the political and social
scale.


We would, in a word, change con-
ditions with them-a degradation
greater than has ever yet fallen to the
lot of free and enlightened people,
and one from which we could not es-
cape should emancipation take place |
(which it certainly will if not prevent
ed, } but by fleeing the homes of our
selves and ancestors, and by abandon /
ing our country to our former slaves,
to become the abode of disorder, an /
archy, and wretchedDess.

The following graphic description of
the real jewels of the fair South is Civ
en- by paper printed in the State of
Georgia: Among the many visitors
who came to our city Saturday last to
sell their country produce, was young
lady from an adjoining county who ha,
chickens, eggs and butter for sale. Her
beauty was of transcendant excellence;
Bright, flashing Intellectual eyes, aud
face round and rosy, while her calico
dress was plain and neatly made, and
fitted beautifully Her rich black
hair hoated in luxuriant richness.
Highly educated, she conversed fluent
ly, and deported her self with beeom-
ing modesty. She wore no false bus
tie or purchased complexion had no
top-knOt on her head, or false fixings
to present, but stood in the majestic
beauty of created intelligence that
would not yield to the despotie die
tates of frivolous fashion. 1t had been
a long time since we gazed upon such
a sight. The young men crowded
around her wagon with curiosity in
their eyes and admiration in their
hearts. The old men wept for joy that
there was one who had not bowed to
Baal. She sold her country produce,
went home, MIXED the cows, cooked
supper for ten farm laborers, and went
to church that night with her sweet
heart.

WASHINGTON, Sept II, 1874.


Your correspondent. being at Annapolis this
afternoon, called upon Governor Groome at the
Executive Mansion. The Governor is a short
thick set man, with a very pleasing expression of
countenance, and at the first glance gives one the
impression rather OF an easy going country gentle
man than OF shrewd and active politician and
chief magistrate of one OF the original thirteen
States. In the course OF brief conversation 1
seemed to avoid, as it were. He said tnat the
deposition of the Kellogg government and the SUBJ
stituton OF that OF McEnery had been sudden,
and the reports from the seat Of the disturbance
so meagre. that he did not feel at liberty in his
position to give an opinion which subsequent
events might very materially modify or
change altogether. He expressed himself
guardedly upon the subject. He thought that
Louisiana affairs were in miserable muddle and
this had been brought about by the foolish action
of President Grant and the criminal inaction Of
Congress at time when the whole matter could
have been adjusted with credit to themselves and
unspeakable benefit to all classes in the State OF
Louisiana. There were lew instances where op-
preston had been bitter IN its consequences as
on that untortu rtunate State. The Kellogg govern





cruelty made use OF the power it had been enabled
to aggregate to itself through the overshadOwing
influence OF the administration. Business was at
a standstll, taxes were SO high as to amount to
practical confscaton OF property, and through
the machnatons OF scalawags and carpet-baggers
stirring up strife among their neighbors, Lille had
become almost burden. Was it to be wondered
at that people goaded by such oppression should
rise up as one man and shake or the incubus that
bore them down. The policy or the legality OF their
actions were questions upon which he did not offer
an opinion The action OF President Grant, under
the circumstances, he deemed absolutely neces-
sary to preserve his own consistency. He had
again and again acknowledged the Kellogg gov
ernment, though apprised OF its fraudulent char
acter through the medium of a Congressional
committee, and Congress had refused to relieve
the citizens, though they had pleaded pite-
Ousy for Intervention and rescue Congress
had thereby given quasi recognition to the gov
ernment, and 1t would be an une xampled exhlb-
ton OF inconsistency and regeneration Ia the
administration to withhold Its support, now that
Kellogg and his minions were threatened with
annihilation


The Governor at times spoke with much feeling,
but never seemed to forget the responsibility
which devolved upon him as Governor OF Mary
land, and the Importance which mig MT be attached
10 his utterances while in that position. 1t was
evident throughout The interview that his sympa.
thies were with the oppressed people OF Louisiana,
and that only official position prevented HIM from
characterizing more strongly the role played by
the administration in the affairs of that State.

We are sorry to see our little eve

AIDS prosperity so seriously to heart.
While we know that the Express is

influence, or even a small share of
public patronage or confidence, we
have avoided all allusion to the fact
preferring not to kick thing when it

Still if the ill natured little concern
insists on a comparison of it's puny
self with live newspaper it must be
accommodated. We have never sent
anyone to find out how many quires

probable that more copies of the
HERALD are distributed every morn
ing than there are copies of the
Express worked in q week. Our
full kilograms are taken from
the San Francisco Eueniag Bulletin
and the Express does not usually take
any considerable amount from any
source. The facts show that the
HERALD prints nearly double the
amount of matter that appears in the
Eapress. Yesterday morning the
HERALD contained $4,000 ems reading
matter. Last evenings Express was
an unusually large paper, yet it con

THE Los Angeles and Pacific Rail-

day and decided to make an immediate
preliminary survey of their road. The
line of this road is directly through
the lands of the Centinela Land Com
pany and will reach the water at the
SaltfWorks, where short wharf will
give them water of sufficient depth
for large sea-going vessels. IL is pro-
posed to connect this road with the
Main Street Railroad at the western
limits of the city and run the ears in

As the Los Angeles and Pacific Rail

It is stated on good authority that
the lighterage by which we receive
our goods costs Los Angeles $500, 900

of Los Angeles has become so great as
to be beyond the power of the railroad
