The subcommittee Of the Committee Of
Reconstruction in Congress, of which Hon.
Charles II. Porter is member, we see by
this mornings dispatches, have reported
unanimously in favor of the repeal of the
test-oath. We are glad of this, for we
were the first paper in the country to
advocate that greatest measure of amnesty.
In goodly number of articles during the
past two years, we have asked Congress to
repeal that oath, and relieve the more
humble citizens of the South--those who
bore arms in the ranks--from their dis
abilities.


We rejoice. too, that Mr. Porter has
taken this liberal course, which is in keep
ing with the declarations made by him
during the last canvass, and which re-
ceived bis concurrence when adopted as a
principle of the Republican party of Vir-
ginia by the last State Convention We
hope there will be no difficulty experienced
in passing it through Congress. 1t will
place ninety-fve- hundredths of the dis
qualified class in the South on an equal
footing with their other fellow-citzens in
the country, and cannot but have the hap
piest effect in restoring good feeling, by
removing the cause of much complaint,
hatred, and unfriendliness.


The few who will still remain under the
ban of the fourteenth amendment, can
AFFORD to await the action of Congress in
their cases as necessitated by the require
ments of the constitution, unless, as we
think the best course a law shall be passed
authorizing the United States, courts to re-
ceive and consider applications for relief


With the test-oath repealed, and a law
passed which shall give to every citizen
charged with an offence against the State,

A recent writer offers the following suggas-
tion to parents:


1--WE must not forget the importance of
striving to cultivate frank confidence and
sympathy in the relations of home. 1t has
seemed to me, in many cases to which have
given some study, that the great privileges and
opportunities which parents enjoy, are often
destroyed by their allowing great walls Of
spiritual distance and alienation to rise between
themselves and their children 1t is sad to
see the children Of family growing up into
manhood and womanhood as we often see
them, having as little acknowledged commun-
ion OF religious life with their parents as if
they were a parcel Of bears cubs never
hearing from father or mother simple, earnest
ayowal of religious faith, much less the simplest
words of worship trained by their parents
reserve to keep in their own bosoms whatever
religious emotion the spirit of God may have
quickened there and finding the first SYM
pathy and mutual confession which will fan
the faint sparks Of worship and conservation
on their hearts altar into blazing flame,
finding this, for the first time, after they have
gone from their childhoods home. While |
appreciate the power Of a religious atmosphere
and of religious obseryances in Christian nur-
ture, it seems to me that this habitual religious
confidence is the most efficient and indispensa
ble Gain the perfect trust and affection Of
your child, in the early years when it looks tC
you with such religious awe as you look tc
God, and, when the quiet home is its only
temple, opens its heart to yours in the deepest
religious confession, and keeps it open through
the changing years and you can accomplish
everything with that child for nurture ant
blessing. No Aladdin's wonderful lamp, nC
magician's potent wand could be more soyer
eign in controlling the spirits of the vas
deep, and in working miracles of beauty ant
majesty, than can the simple power of you
hold upon the child's love and confidence
become, in controlling its most turbulent pas
sions, and building up in its soul the lovelines
and grandeur of Christly character"

With the dropping lids fast closed

PoTATo FARINA.-A recent Report of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture says there is a great and increas-
ing demand and unlimited market for
farina or potato -four, which is simply
the dry, evaporated pulp of the ordinary
potato, the winter and more free from
black specks the better. 1t is used for
sizing and other manufacturing purpos-
es, and with the aid Of precipitation and
acid is converted into starch. In Eu-
rope it meets large and increasing de-
mand in its primitive state as potato
-four; and in Lancaster alone 10000
tons are annually sold, and as many
more would be taken if put into the
market. When calcined, it is used
largely for silk-dressing and other pur-
poses.


Atthis time the quotation for potato
farina in Liverpool is a little over cents
a pound, while wheat -four is about 2
IL cents pound; so that the potato
flour is worth nearly double that of wheat
at the present date. Consignments to
Liverpool are solicited by the brokers
there who promise to take all that can
be furnished.

The contractors for the State House
foundation at Des Moincs are losing
money on their contract. They pro-
pose to try and get the Legislature
To reimburse them. The people
should spot" every member Of the
Legislature who supports such a pro-
position. We hope twill receive no
favor in the Legislature or out Of it.
1t would be simply a premium on
swindling; a bonus TO Ring specula-
ton. II would be an outrage on the
people of Iowa. Did one ever hear
of contractors for State or National
work, no matter how inordinate
their profit, ever paying over to the
State or Government any part oi
their gains: Never. But II they
don't make as much out OF their
work as they expected they invarla-
bly, expect the public treasury to
make up the deficiency. It's time
to make an end to this business. We
hope the Legislature will not allow
the losing contractors one cent.


a very honest friend Of ours said
To us the other day that he would be
willing to reimburse the State House
Contractors for what they might
really have lost on their contract for
the foundation stone: that this seemed
only fair. This Is an improper way
to look at this matter. This build
ing is for this State, and should be
put through on the same principles
that prevail in individual business.
The State wanted n certain work
done. II invited bids for this pur
pose. 1t didn't ask men to put ir
estimates for which the work cOuldn't
he done: it wanted the bids Of mel
who would fix their price and thef
do the work for ii. There wereplen
ty OF responsible parties, having good
stone, who put in bids and would
have done the work for what they
stipulated. The State should moi
permit bids which are simply sub

who don't expect to do the work foi

1t is better for you to pass an evening
once or twice week in lady's drawing
room, even though the conversation i;
slow, and you know the girls songs by
heart, than in club, tavern, or pit of s
theater. All amusements of youth to
which virtuous women are not admitted
rely upon it, are deleterious in their ma
ture. All men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions, and are stupid, land
have gross tastes, and revolt against
what is pure.


Your club swaggerers, who are suck
ing the butts of billiard-cues all night
call female society insipid. Poetry is
uninspiring to yokel; beauty has nc
charms for blind man; music does not
please poor beast, who does not know
one tune froih another; bat, as true
epicure is hardly ever tired of water,
sauce, and brown bread and butter,I pro.
test | can sit for whole night talking to
well regulated, kindly woman, about
her girl Fanny, or hef boy Frank; and
like the evenings entertainment.


One Of the great benefits man may
derive from woman's society is that he
is bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your morals
men, depend upon it. Our education
makes us the most selfish men in the
world We fight for ourselves, we push
for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we
light our pipes and say we won't go out,
we prefer ourselves and our ease and
the greatest benefit that comes to man
from woman's society is that he has to
think of somebody to whom he is bound
to be constantly attentive and respect
full.
