When the revolution of last Fall swept
away Ihe Administration majority in the
Ili use of Representatives, the defeated
party took consolation in the thought
that its arvondencym the Senate cookl
I in no event be disturbed. The elections
| of the past few weeks have shown how
) severely this laefc prop of a tailing party
j has been shaken. It is perfectly snfe to
| say that had there been a half dozen more
States to elect Senators, the Opposition
world have secured a clear majority in
the Senate. On tho 3d ot March next
the terms of 2-3 Senators will expire. Of
these 17 are A lministrafi n, aud 8 Op
position. Twenty-two States have elec
ted Senators, and in throe, Minnesota,
Florida, and West Virginia, a result has
not yet been reached. Of the new Sena
tors 15 are safely to be placed in the Op
position, and to theso may be added
those whom West Virginia and Florida
will elect This, with ihe lo Opposition
members holding over, gives the anti-
Administration party a total of 33 mom
hers, and leaves the Administration with
only 41, giving them the successor of
Senator Ramsey iu Minnesota, aiul.coun
ting the vacant scat for Louisiana in
their favor, although it clearly belongs on
the other side.
There is an instructive lesson in this
showing for those persons who- see in
every fresh exposure of crime in high
places a sure fore-runner of the Republic’s
death. Their favorite argument is that
tho people look upon exposures of cor
ruption and the exercise of unconstitu
tional power with indifference. Tlmy
charge the public conscience with lethar
gy because it docs not cry out with more
vehemence against such wrongs. But
the surer test of the public mind is the
ballot-box. Tie American people is not
indifferent to corruption and usurpation
on the part of its officials. It makes up
its mind deliberately, but surtly, and
sooner or later the thieves and repro
bates are thrust aside, never to be seen a
gain. Let those who are coming into
office reflect upon this truth. It has
borne them to power. It can as easily
take them away from it.

Indian SrlGUnds ’Shielding Their
Treasures!
Last night as w e were putting our
fmiuul sheet to press, wo were startled
by the appearance of M? Alexander Xer-
Hafpx Homes.—We pity the man, how
ever prosperous his pecuniary condition,
or however great his fame, who has not
a happy home. A happy home is the
hoaven of this life.—-Tet many of our
most distinguished men have not been
fortunate in this respect. They have
been made to feel how unsatisfactory was
the world’s applause, of the position of
official power, while all was cold, heart
less or unsympatkizing in their private
homes. And these unhappy matches have
not always been made from motives of
ambition. They have seemingly been the
misfortune of chance. But what a terrible
misfortune! All the distinctions in the
world afford no compensation for such a
deprivation. There is something inex
plicable about many unhappy matches.
A young couple many from actual pre
ference for each other, and from no mo
tive but sincere affection ; but a want of
congeniality is subsequently develo2>ed,
and a wretched home for life is the result.
Blessed indeed, and more highly favored
are they whose homes, from beginning to
end are always happy.
Good Morning.—Don't forget to say
good morning!” Say it to your parents,
your brothers and sisters, your school
mates, your teachers—and say it cheer
fully and with a smile; it will do you
good, and do your friends good. There
is a kind of inspiration in every “good
morning,” heartily and smilingly spoken,
that helps to make hope fresher and work
lighter. It seems really to make the
morning good, and to be a prophecy of
a good day to come after it. And if this
be true of the “good morning,” it is also
of all kind, heartsome greetings; they
cheer the discouraged, rest the tired one,
and somehow make the wheels of life
run more smoothly. Be liberal with
them, then, and let no morning pass,
however dark and gloomy it may be, that
you do aot help at least to brighten by
your smiles and cheerful words.

The Academy for the Blind.
1 ho committee from the House of Rep
resentatives, who recently visited the
Academy for the Blind at Macon, sub
mitted the following report:
Ycnr committee have made their visit
to the institution for tho blind, and are
gratified to say that so far as we could
ascertain, tlic institution is in a prosper
ous condition. Tho principal, W. D.
Williams, understands his business, and
impresses your committee as being an
attentive, sympathetic Christian gentle
man, and it is truly fortunate for the un
fortunate inmates that he lias charge of
the institution. Ho is doing great good.
We talked with the pupils, ami saw
them at the table- All seemed happy
and contented. Tho institution is an
honor to the state, and
A BLESSING TO THE BLIND.
There arc in the institution at this time
two teachers, three assistant teachers
and forty-seven pupils, making a total of
fifty-two.
On tho female side of tho house, girls
are taught in the branches of domestic
employment. They do plain sewing,
knitting stockings lor themselves, and
socks for tho boys; and some hare ad
vanced into the region of handicraft.—
The work is conducted by the girls
themselves, under the direction of one
of the pupils.
In the male department of handicraft,
the boys are taught broom making, eane-
scating, and mattrass making. This work
is conducted in favorable seasons and
spare hours, with tlio design of giving
every boy a trade during his course in
school.
In ihe literary department two modes
of instruction are pursued—the tangible
and oral, and it was with wonder and de
light that we witnessed the progress in
this department.
The importance of the musical de
partment of this institution cannot be
overestimated. It is the most striking
part of the work of the academy, ami is
affording much pleasure to them series
and others, through life, and also the
means of ready, self-sustaining employ
ment as teachers, organists of churches,
societies, &c. The professor in tins de
partment deserves much credit re
commend that one thousand dollars be
added to tho appropriation of last year,
to be invested by W. D. Williams and
trustees, as they may deem proper, for
the benefit of the institution.
Clover.—After the middle of the
month clover seed may be sown on
small grain. Roll the seed in piaster and
mix with sifted ashes—ten quarts of seed
with 20 of ashes. As soon as old clover
shows a new growth top dress it in moist
(not rainy) weather with one bushel of
plaster per acre. Lucerne or alfalfa
should also be sown the last of this
month. Unless the land has been very
thoroughly cleansed of weeds and grass
by autumn crops, it is best to sow in
drills 15 inches apart, to allow coltiva-
tion sad keeping down of other growth.
2!hc President in Trouble.
Gen Grant is : ill complaining of C'on-
grer-p, and insisting that it shall invent
some scheme of legislation to get him
ont of his Southern scrape without
wounding bis self-esteem. “His inten
tion of no longer shouldering the entire
responsibility of sustaining Governments,
of the legality of which tbere is so much
dispute, is well known.” So telegraphed
our well-informed Washington coito
spondent The other day. And now we
find the President haunting the Capitol
and urging his adherents to lose no time
in making mere laws for the South and
relieving him from liis unpleasant predi
cament. They are ready enough to ex
tend the Enforcement laws and vote dou
ble appropriations for the army, but with
regard to the real difficulties of the sit
nation, like the problem of Louisiana,
they are quite as much embarrassed as
his Excellency, and not at all inclined to
take any responsibility which they can
get rid of.
Gen. Grant need not try to obscure
this matter by fussing about tho Senate
corridors. There is no question that
Congress has been guilty of gross neg
lect of duty in refusing to aot npqp ilia
Louisiana case, but the last man in the
world to rebuke it for that is the Presi
dent of the United States. The only ac
tion required of Congress is a correction
of the wrong committed by the President.
Congress had no hand in tho establish
ment of the Kellogg usurpation in 1872:
that was the work of Gc-n. Grant alone.
Congress had no hand in dispersing the
Legislature last month; that also was the
work of Gen. Grant alone. If he had
confined himself to his constitutional
functions Louisiana would have been at
peace two years ago under a government
of her own choice, and tho massacres and
other crimes which have marked her re
cent history would never have been com
mitted. And no man knows better than
Gen. Grant himself that he Ms had it in
his power at any moment to correct his
own blunders.
The greatest fault of Congress in con
nection with this matter has been its cow
ardly subservience to the President’s
dictation; and if it is disposed now to
repair its own and his costly blunders, it
may as well recognize the important fact
that it must give up the attempt to save
liis reputation and his self esteem. The
disorder of the South lies right at the
surface, where everybody secs it except
tho Federal administration. It is not
disloyalty, it is not turbulence, it is not
antipathy of races, it is not any difficulty
in determining who has been elected; it is
simply the lawless interference of the
Washington authorities with the con
cerns of the States. Stop that, and we
sha’l have peace.—A'c to York Tri~
hune.
mils, a gentleman living cn Dunn’s Lake,
Vfho excited out attention by his extraor
dinary nervous and pale appearance, and
who held within his hands specimens of
what appeared to be crystalized copper,
lie held them forth to us asking if W8
new what they were, and then related
the following seemingly incredulous sto
ry:
“I have a tract of about one hundred
acres of land, upon which thero are seve
ral Indian mounds. For some weeks
past, with the assistance of three men, I
have been clearing a portion of this land
with a view towards planting orange trees.
This morning one of my colored men
while clearing away brush from one of
these mounds struck upon some hard
substance that seemed to givo a light
back and called to me to come and see it.
I at onco discovered what I think is a
rich gold nnd copper quartz rock. Upon
digging deeper I found the specimens
that you now see. I called my other
men and opened the mound, finding ^he
remains of what seemed to bo Indians,
but from their great length of bones, and
peculiarly shaped faces I should think
belong to a tribe not in the memory of
man. One skeleton in particular struck
me to be remarkable for length and size
of bone: it was at least nine feet in length
and the knee joints aro about seventeen
inches in circumference. In the cave or
mound I also found peculiarly shaped
bones and arrows, the heads of the
arrows having been sot with a substance
resembling tiie nickel of our present day,
but time has so corroded these arrow
heads that I cannot tell of what nature of
metal they are.
“There were some other things found
in this mound which you will pardon me
if I do not at present reveal, but I was
anxious that you should see these quartz
specimens. I do not believe that they
were formed sinco tho building of this
mound; my opinion is, that in tho build
ing of the mound they were thrown up
and unnoticed by tho tribe. I will givo
you further information when I have time
for further research.”
Hero i.i your chance now, all yon who
have Indian mounds upon your places, to
find hidden treasures. There was an old
tradition among the Seminoles that Flor
ida had been at one time inhabited by a
civilized or semi-civilized race, and that
they were mostly artisans, although great
in war, and that they had amassed great
treasures which were always' buried with
them. "Wo do not feel at liberty to givo
Mr. Xermus statement in full, but wo do
wish that we had a few Indian mounds to
open.—Balath• i Herald.

Its Prospects in the Senate;,
Under date of Mtaviiy the Baltimore
Sun has a special from “Washington, say
ing the civil rights bill of the House will
be taken up by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee for consideration at once. It is
urged by some of the friends of the bill
that it will be reported back without
amendment, but some of the extremist
advocate tacking on the cemetery aud
school clauses rejected by the House. It
is demonstrated that the bill Cannot pass
tho House with these sections in it. It
is very doubtful whether it can pass the
Senate at all in the time left of tho ses
sion. One Democratic Senator says. he
has sixty amendments to offer, on every
one of which he will call tho yeas and
Governor Setmottr on the Situation.—

in Washington recently, and on bis way
homo to Utica stopped- for mi evening in

upon him at his hotel that the Republi

en with suicidal blindness. Though it
has fallen into disfavor in the country,
its managers have so lost their heads
that they persist in doing everything
that will increase the popular distrust
and drive the party towards its destruc
tion. There are a few wise men in the
party in Congress, it is true, but they
are as chips upon the furious torrent, and
have just about as much power to check
its course. Tho Governor likens the
party leaders to a demented mitg- deter
mined upon suicide. They refuse to
avail themselves of a single opportunity
to save the life of the party/ ! -* -

His name it is King. Printed in full
on the ballot of the intelligent Minneso
ta voter, “William S. King.” To news
paper Itotv, Washington, “Bill King.”
To unfriendly persons, “Old Bill King.”
To Mr. Sergeant-at-Arms Ordway of the
House of Representatives he is a mis
sing man, lurking in hidden places
with information in him for which the
Committee of Ways and Means has s
consuming thirst, and tho Chairman, Mr.
Henry L. Dawes, hungers unceasingly.
The Sergeant-at-Arms has hunted tho
country over with lantern and candle; de
puties have been sent out, descriptions
of him have been published, he has been
exhorted to appear and unbosom himself;
all to no purpose. He is still “Bill King,
the “missing witness,” somewhere in hid
ing with much valuable information in
him. There is a prevalent impression,
which in his prolonged absence is deep
ening into conviction, that the Hon. Wm.
S. King of Minnesota, Postmaster of the
last Congress and Member-elect of the
next, knows what he did with tho trifle of
$125,000 which the Committee is quite
curious about. It may be that he does
not know what he did with it. The
Hon. Mr. Schumaker had $300,000, and
not the slightest idea what became of it.
Still it seemed to cheer the Committee
to bo informed of so much as that. Now
if King would only come forward and
say he did not know what had become
of his $125,000, it would be refreshment
and comfort to a great many sincere
searches after truth.
The suspicion has been whispered that
King used a portion of this money to de
bauch Congress. Of course it can’t be
true, and King ought, in justice to him
self, to come forward and say so. It may
be that he is in retirement somewhere,
scratching his head and trying to remem
ber about it. If so, the Committee, no
doubt, will give him time, and the coun
try will suppress its cariosity and wait
in patience till he emerges. It would be
a very considerate thing in him, though,
to give the Sergeant-at-Arms notice that
he still lives, and relieve the painful suss
pense of that industrious official. For
the Sergeant-at-Arms has been greatly
exercised about him. He has heard of
his being at Minneapolis, Rochester, and
Elmira, in Canada, Washington, and var
ious other places, and has been skipping
about (he country by deputy in liis pro
secution of the search till he is almost as
weary as he was two years ago looking
for Gen. G. W. Dodge of Iowa to testi
fy beforo the Credit Mobilier Committee.
It has been reported two or three times
that King was on his way to Washings
ton in great haste to testify, bo it was
reported two years ago that Gen. Dodge
Wiis hurrying to W ashington from all
points of the compass by several air-line
routes in order to get there before the
adjournment of Congress. Deputies
were scattered over the country in search
of him too regardless of expense, but
some sort of centrifugal force kept at
work on Dodge so that the more ho hur
ried to Washington the nearer he got to
the Rocky Mountains. Possibly King
,y be working towards "Washington
uii ler the same disadvantages, and will
only succeed in reaching the Capital just
after the adjournment of Congress. The
most remarkable things keep happening
to people who are hurrying to \Vashing
ton full of information for investigating
committees.
We certainly hope nothing serious has
happened to King, but that he will ful
fill all the expectations of his friends and
respond to the call of the Minnesota Leg
islature, which has just waved some reso
lutions in the form of an incantation
over the place of his disappearance, and
summoned him to “Appear! Appear!”
May he soon turn up with memory un
impaired—a memory which, like the mem
ory of the just, smells sweet and blos
soms in the dust.—A r . Y. Tt ibuna.
