The removal of whites from Usage reserva-

The world knows no victory 10 be
compared with the victory over our own
passions. The struggle of life is be
tween the flesh and the spirit. and one
or the other finally gains the ascenden-
cy. Every day and every hour Of the
Christians life is the contest going on.
and sad is it to think how often it IS
that victory is declared in favor of this
earth with its sinful passions. The
Apostle Paul. after having labored long
and earnestly in his Lords service-at-
ter having done more for the spread OF
the truth than all the other apostles,
still felt that lie was human beng.
and liable at any time, through the
weakness of the flesh. to loose all. i
keep under my body" says he. "and
bring it into subjection. lest after hav-
ine preached the gospel to others. | my
self should be cast away. If this
watchfulness was needed on the part Of
this aged and long-tried servant of God,
what care and diligence ought We to eX-
excise, lest we should lose all in an un-
guarded hour? Our pathway through
life is thickly set with snares for
our feet. The allurements Of vice. things
to rouse our anger and stir up our
hearts feeling, await Us at every turn Of
life's devious ways, blessed indeed is
that man or woman who meets them all
without harm.

Don't crowd: this world is broad enough
For YOU as well as me;
The doors Of art are open wide
The realm of thought is free
Of all earths places you are right
To choose the best YOU can,
Provided that you do not try


To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can


count


Your piles of golden o-e;
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from his door!
OF willing hands and honest hearts
Alone should man be proud
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try to crowd.
Don't crowd, proud Miss, your dainty

Because it comes iii contact with

This lovely world was never made
For YOU and me alone

The pathway to a throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your


heart,


BY fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had ;
Be each day record such one,
That You may well be proud
Give each his right-givc each his room,
And never Try to crowd.

COLUMBUS, January l3.-This morn
ing resolution was offered providing
for committee to inquire into the
conduct Of Governor Hayes in not
ordering special election in the Third
District. A warm discussion ensued,
after which the resolution was referred
to the committee on Federal Relations,
Republicans voting yea, Democrats nay.


In the Senate petition was presented
from the Chamber of Commerce OF
Cincinnati asking that free trade in
money be authorized.


A bill was introduced in the House
to reduce the rates Of toll on turnpike
roads to what they were before the war.


The bill to abolish the Office oi
Comptroller Of the Treasury was post
poned until the second Tuesday in
February.


The Governor sent a communication
to the Speaker Of the House, this after
noon, assigning his reasons for not
ordering special election to fill the
vacancy in the Third District, caused
BY the resignation Of r. C. Scbenck.
He claimed that legal notices Of such
election would consume nearly the
whole time Of the vacancy, and that
the election would be vain and a use
less expense. He is sustained in his
view Of law in this matter by the At
torney General.

election is not yet fully heard from,
but it is understood that there are FIVE,
and perhaps six, out Of seven members
of Congress Democrats, thirty thousand
or forty thousand Democratic popular
majority, and a majority Of the Legis-
lature ample TO defeat the Bullock job,
but not enough to impeach and remove
him from Office. The last Legislature
played a sharp game on the people by
passing law that the next Legislature
should not meet till the coming winter
year hence. They will not thus be
able to elect . Senator in place of Mil
Ter, whose term expires on the 4th Of
March next. The State will thus be
with only one Senator, or the State may
be given to the notorious fighter, Blodg-
EFT. The latest talk is that the Senate
will recognize Avill and Miller as legal
ly chosen Senators, but it is very doubt
full. The Administration party in the
Senate will stop at nothing for power

WHEN Andrew johnson was Presi-
dent he refused a splendid turn out in
the way of carriage and horses and
rode along Pennsylvania avenue in the
common street cars. On this point the
Louisville Courier-Journal says:


No man, since the death Of the Car
diff Giant, could stand up in the Presi-
dency under such selfapplied pressure
as that, and we are not surprised to be
told that, instead Of occupying some.
thing resembling gorgeous Long
Branch villa, johnson is now living in
a one horse two story brick house that
stands Immediately on the street, with
out the sign OF a front yard. He saw
that all the rest OF the Presidents made
a point of refusing things that were
offered them, and it would seem that it
never occurred to him but that he ought
to do go too.


Grant has more sense about such
things than all the other Presidents put
together. lie has no idea Of running
the Government exclusively for the
benefit of other people. He is not the
man to fool away his time as the rest OF
them did, from Washington down.
Consequently, if you lay anything on
the steps of the White House at night
anything, at least, except Cleveland
pup-you may rest assured that it will be
taken in before morning, and, if you ac-
company it by sufficient proof OF your
utter incapacity to fill any office what
ever, the chances are that you will very
soon find yourself appointed to one that
is very difficult to fill. In two years
Grant has accumulated a fortune OF
more than quarter Of million. Six
years more OF Executive speculation
will bring him out a million easily
enough. No wonder Old Man Grant
thinks his son is the smartest man that
ever lived except Washington"

The Message is officially assured that


the executive committee of the Northern
Pacific Railroad will visit Puget Sound
during the latter part of May or early in
June, and while here viii decide questions
of grave Importance to the road and to the
people. The official information, as pub
lished, is, however,. very riticent as to
what important questions those decisions


will relate. The people are waiting for
something more tangible than this, So
called, official innuendo but it is not
likely that the company will discommO9e
itself very seriously TO crafty the general
desire. When the proper time arrives the
end of the road win be designated, regard
less Of the iiberality and pretesiations Of
John Doe or Richard Roe, just where the
interests Of the road will demand it. But
there is no doubt that liberal donations Of
land and money wilrhas;en the completion
of the road to any given point on its route.

BEssEMER STEEL.-The Indianapolis
journal makes this statement: 'It is not
fact generally known that the Indiana pig
iron can be used to better advantage in
making steel by the Bessemer process
than any other metal in the country. The
steel works at Johnstown, Pa, in the very
midst of the best iron producing region of
that State, are counting the cost of plr-
chasing and freighting Indiana pig iron
from Clay county, Ind, to Johnstown
Pa, with view to its consumption in the
manufacture of steel rails at that point.
Now, that it has been demonstrated be-
yond question that the raw block coal of
Indiana is the best known fuel for the
manufacture of steel, capitalists will begin
to inquire if the steel rails cannot bemade
and sold more economically and profitably
in the locality where the best coal and the
best pig iron lare produced side by side"

The watch trade is cited as an illustra-
ton of the reason why women cannot earn
the same wages as men, although possess
ing equal mechanical ability. In Eng
land it is stated that many of the work
men had tried to instruct their wives, sis
ters and daughters to follow the business,
but that the nervous power ofwomen was
inadequate for work requiring such strict
accuracy as matchmaking. The watch
trade, it was asserted, had gone to Switz-
erland because many persons were not
particular as to the variation in the rate of
their watches, and therefore purchased 3
cheap and inferior article, the product of
the labor of the Swiss women.

Fifty times at least, the official Spanish
reports have come to this country to the
effect that the insurrection was subdued-
the insurgent leaders shot or dispersed-the
rebel strongholds all taken-and the tone
and sentiment of the country entirely favor
able to the retention of Spanish rule. AL
this has been repeated so often in the space
of two years, and still the insurrection ap-
pears to be lively and vigorous. 1t is true
that the Cubans are generally beaten in the
battles, but it does not appear to hurt them
much, and they turn up next day as ready
for the fray as ever. The number of them
who have been killed, appear from the Off
cial sources, to considerably outnumber the
entire population of the island, but even
that does not seem to be very serious mat
ter as they were in the beginning. All their
strongholds were reported as taken from
them, but they occupy as many now as ever
they did. The real truth is that Spain has
spent great deal of money in carrying on
this war--using up all the regular resources
beside running in debt between thirty and
forty millions of dollars-has employed
over hundred thousand soldiers of one
kind or another-has practiced enormous
cruelties upon the prisoners her troops have
captured, but they have made little if any
progress in putting down what they consid-
cred mere mob of the rabble of the popu


lace. If the Cubans are persistently in
earnest they can worry out their freedom
by mere force Of protraction, and unless the
Spaniards can do better than in the past
such result is about a certainty.

Matters in this unhappy country appear
to be steadily gravitating toward strong
government Anarchy appears to be the
only resultof any attempt at self govern
ment by Jhis mercurial and inhammable
people. At the time of the first revolution
when me Bourbon throne was put down by
the words of an unfuriated populace, and
washed away by the torrents of blood from
the lives of an ancient nobility it was
thought these excesses resulted from the
long continued oppression of the people,
and that another attempt in after days
would develop new traits Of character,
which should create an Republic that would
rival if not surpass our own. All this how
ever has failed. France has had years of a
liberal monarchy, but manifests the same
traits of unfitness for self government as in
the days agone. Whatever may or may
not have been the faults Of Louis Napoleon,
he certainly so far yielded to what he deemed
the force of circumstances, as to liberalize
the Empire, in the laws he made, and to
gradually enlarge the liberties of the peo-
Pile. Whether the end would have been a
closer Tightening of the chain of his dynasty
or further relaxing, as rapidly as intelli-
gence and public virtue would allow, can
not now certainly be told. Probably how
ever, the plan of Napoleon was to seize the
favorable opportunity, which he supposed
would be created by tho glory which should
attend his expedition into Prussia, and per-
feet a system of despotism which, like the
ancient Roman Republic, should have all
the names of freedom and all the realities
of tyranny. The chances of war have not
realized this conception, and France is left
without even such repressive government as
Louis gave to it. The rule of M. Theirs is
as mild and free as it is possible to make it,
but the Parisians revolt from it, and rush
madly to death to trample it down. 1t is
probable that in the end the Government
will put down it's civil factions but the fact
that they must be put down, is proof that q
stronger government is needed.

A missionary employed by prominent
religious organization, in the State of New
Jersey, reports away at Ocean County in a
manner which would seem to indicate
special spite at that unfortunate region.
According to his lately published account
the people, very many of them live in the
most primeval state-men-wome en-chil-
s-cows-horses-all sleeping to-
gether in the same room, and without the
slightest regard for either character or de-
cency. The marriage rite is said by him to
be practically unknown, and religious in
struction is in state of utter destitution.
This will be news to the intelligent people
of that county, and if we mistake not will
stir them to an appreciation of that mis-
sionary which will be more forcible than
pleasant. When the fact is remembered
that in the last few years years the Metho-
dists alone have built fifteen churches in
that county, it will easily be seen how much
reliability is to be placed on his statements.
We forbear to give his name.

SECRET POLITICAL ORGANTZATIoNs.--
A copy of the Constitution belonging to
one of the secret political organizations of
the South has been published in the jour-
nails of the country. 1t purports to cover
the State of South Carolina, with Charles
ton for its central point of operation. The
usual signs and Symbols as well as grips of
secret societies, are observed, and are well
calculated to subserve the purposes for
which they are instituted. The main fea-
ture of the organization, and the one upon
which all its significance depends, is found
in the fact that the political conscience and
action of its members is in the keeping of
the Supreme Council, who is its head.
Whatever political action is prescribed by
them must be followed without reserve.
Votes, labor, effort, must all 60 that way.
Indeed there is no restrictive limit placed
upon the commands of the chieftains, and
what they may, is unconditional. 1t is this
latter fact no doubt, which, in the hands of
bad and unscrupulous men has led to the
unenviable notoriety of the Kuk-Klux"
clans. 1t is not likely that the leading
Southern men instituted these orders with
the view of rapine and murder. 1t is not
probable either that anything further than
political and social prescription was in
tended. In these ways the holding of office
and construction of society would fall nat
urally into the hands of Southern men, and
men too who still in their convictions, held
on to State rights as opposed to an enforced
national unity. Some time or other in the
changes of events the lost cause might come
up again, and if it did the sentiment of the
people would be ready for it. This was no
more than wouIu nave been natural, and we
at the North could not reasonably have
looked for anything less. Still, it would be
equally apparent that such organizations,
under pledges of fullest secrecy and obe-
dience could not exist without sometimes
getting into the hands of bad men, and
there is little doubt that in this manner the
outrages upon Northern and Southern men
of Union sentiments have occurred. We
do not believe the body Of the Southern
people to be responsible for these outrages.'
We do not believe that they desire them
But, it is evident that they are unable to
suppress them, and therefore the employ
ment of the national police is eminently
proper until the Southern people can enforce
order themselves.
