Soon every bird shall sing ;

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.
The House Committee on Louisiana
Affairs have returned to Washington, and
may be expected to make an early report
of the results of their investigation. The
special committees who have taken testE
mony in Alabama and Mississippi are al
so expected to report within a few days.

Wortham Comments on the Arkan*
Troy (N. Y.) Times, Radical.
We are inclined to the opinion that
the President has erred in suggesting
Congressional action with a view of a-
bolishing it (the existing State govern
ment in Arkansas) altogetfiL, and substi
tuting the old Constitution and reestab-
is already published. These reports will j Asking the former State officers that
bring up the whole southern policy of ! were elected under it. Better let these

anything is to be done. Serions and
critical as the matters are they must be
disposed of sommarily or left* to seethe
and fester through another year. The
subject is not simply a party question of
supreme moment, but its relations to the
peace and prosperity of the country are
so immediate that it will be the height of

that way be irregular.
[Springfield (Mas.) Republican, Republican.
If there has been any charitable donbt
hitherto as to the nature of the political
ideas and purposes at present entertain
ed at the White House, this fire-brand
of a message tossed into Congress ought
to shed a glare of illumination on the
subject The Republican party is in-
damation. If there is any disorder in
Arkansas after this it will be of his caus
ing. He labors under a vague and mis
ty notion that if this new Constitution
is allowed to stand some other Southern
State may be encouraged to make a new
Constitution, to the great injury of the
office holders and the consequent dimin
ution of the Republican vote. “What is
to prevent?" he askf. What indeed?
Congress might perhaps forbid any State
to change its Constitution without the
consent of the President, but even the
turbulent and disorderly person who is
threatening to upset Garland has not yet
proposed a measure like that.

“Yon meet a remarkably motfesf* and
timid-appearing young lady to-day, and
yon notice that her hat lias a meek and
shrinking indentation in the crown. It
looks as if it wanted to shun the wicked
world and hang itself up in a nunnery. To
morrow you meet the same lady, and
what a change! She appears as daring
as Joan of Arc and as independent as the
President of a Woman’s Congress. And
her whole appearance is thus altered by
pinning up the front of that hat Next
day she appears like a brigand. The
brim is flattened out and her eyes gleam
furiously from underneath, as if watch
ing an opportunity to order you to stand
and deliver. You see her again, and the
rim is turned up behind, while it is very
flat in the front giving her an appear^
ance of a female Solon Shingle trying to
find a customer for that bar’l of apple
sass.” Again, and it is pitched on the
extreme back of the head, reminding you
of Toodles in his cups, when he is assur
ing the ‘sailor man’ that when his father
heard of the sailor man’s death ‘he went
broken-hearted to his grave, and died
there.’ With all these advantages it is
no wonder that the reigning hat is pops
alar. It is comfortable to the head—so
they say—and it is an ornament or dis
guise as required. It is demure, jaunty,
meek, saucy, bold, sly, obstinate, concili
ating, tender—whatever you please—
everything by turns and nothing long.
It is the hat of the period, cunning and
deceitful, but above all things desperate
ly wicked.”

Write, Wright, Hite, Ri^ht*
A school Superintendent gave to a
teacher the following sentence to write:
A cynio by the name of Wright, in
Wrightville, Wright County, out West,
recently writing on woman’s rights, said.
That it ia so seldom that women do
write what is right concerning their rites,
that it is no more than right that when
they do write what is right of each rite,
men should willingly acknowledge that
it is right.” Now if Mr. Wright is not
right, then he has no right to write the
above; and it would be better for him to
work at his trade, aa every wheelwright
should do.
A Kitten in Church.
It is possible that kittens may receive
as mnch benefit from church-going as
some young people, who are neither 60
quiet nor so attentive as a kitten describ
ed by the Baltimore American:
Whilst a preacher was earnestly ex
horting his hearers, a little black kitten
entered the door, and after taking a calm
view of the scene, walked leisurely up the
aisle until it reached the upper part of
the church, where it espied, for the first
time, the minister vigorously gesticula
ting. Pussy viewed him with much cu
riosity for a while, and then, apparently
for the purpose of making a closer ob
servation of what she seemed to think a
singular spectacle, stepped within the
railing and seated herself directly in front
of the reverend gentleman, giving every
indication of the deepest interest. When
the preacher was near the conclusion of
his sermon, she suddenly arose, as if she
had heard enough, trotted down the aisle,
and left the church.
“Xn the Spiritual Line-”
Rev. Dr. Hayman, formerly Head Mas
ter of Rug by School, England, ia a grave,
dignified and somewhat pompus gentle
man, with exalted notions of his own im
portance. A laughable story is told con
cerning him.
While returning, recently, from the
Brighton congress, a fellow passenger
undertook to draw him into conversation,
and so far succeeded that the reverend
gentleman asked him to what profession
he happened to belong.
“Oh,” said tbe layman, cheerfully, “I
am in the Manchester line.”
‘Oh, indeed,” remarked Dr. Hayman
urbanely; “there is a good deal of busi
ness going on there just now, I under
stand.”
“First-class,” said the layman, with a
cunning smile; “and may I ask what is
yonr line?"
“I,” said the doctor, patronizingly,
with the nearest approach to a joke he
was ever known to perpetrate, “I am in
the spiritual line.”
“Well, well, if I didn’t think so,” ex
claimed his companion knowingly; and
putting one hand on the doctor’s knee,
he leaned forward eagerly and added,
with an indescribable wink, “but I say,
what a fine old price you have got gin up
to!”
Dr, Hayman instantly collapsed.
Charity.
One of the most beautiful results of an
advanced civilization is tbe -dispensation
of eharity. A practical religion that sees
a brother or a sister in every sufferer and
recognizes the claim of the weak upon
the strong is one of the finest illustra
tions, while it is the strongest proof, of
the divine origin of revelation. The re
ligion which consists of a regular and
punctual attendance upon the services of
the church is doubtless valuable. The
Sabbath, with its rest and quiet, ite
sleeping commerce and ite closed doors
and barred windows, is an invaluable
conservator of the public morals. But
that other kind of religion which is the
embodiment of obligations and duties,
which likes loadstone, draws the gold
of the rich toward the cheerless hearth
end empty larders of the poor, contains
ah element whioh works like magic on the
general health of the community. The
Christianity of a creed is well, bnt that
of a noble life is the true evangel that
charms the dullest ear with its refrain,
“Peace on earth, good will to men.”

1861 there has been a subject before
Congress requiring to be considered and
settled as a pure jquestion of constitus
tional right and patriotic duty this is
such a question. The attempt to settle
it upon any other basis will be sure to
entail incalculable mischief, and must
fail.
If through misinformation concerning
the facts, or rash mistakes, or culpable
neglect, the Republican party has hereto
fore gone wrong, it has nothing to gain
by persisting for the sake of consistency
or for the sake of saving anybody’s feel
ings. Its plain duty is to face about
without delay, confess its errors, and
earnestly set about correcting them.
Whether or not at this stage of the case
such a course will save the party, it is at
all events the only chance of salvation.
The people are now so aroused to the
ominous significance of the present con
dition in the South, and so resolved to
know tbe very truth, that it is vain to
imagine they can be pacified by misrepre
sentations. At the grand assizes of the
national election they will sit in judgment
on the case, and the whole testimony
from all sources will be heard.—If the
representatives of the Republican party
are anxious to have their work stand in
that trial it must be so reasonable and
just that it will deserve to stand. It is
idle to expect the present excitement to
blow over. No compromise will put it
out of sight. No settlement will avail to
prevent a reopening of the issue unless
it be so clearly right that it cannot be at
tacked without attacking the common
rights and common security of all the
people under the Constitution.
By force of circumstances Louisiana
occupies a representative position.—The
Republican policy will be judged by
what it attempts for the rectification of
the situation in that State. It matters
little what may be done in other States;
until Louisiana is righted there can be
no peace. It is of little nse to say the
President has thrown the responsibility
on Congress, and Congress has neglected
its duty. We have a Republican Execu
tive and a Republican Congress. Wheth
er the one or the other is responsible, or
they share the responsibility, the Repub
lican party is responsible and cannot es
cape, nor ought it to expect to escape,
being called to account. One thing is
certain—that either the President or
Congress could at any time have correc
ted the mistakes committed in Louisiana,
and neither has done it. Foisting the
blame from one to the other does not in
the least relieve the Republican party
from its predicament. The past negli
gence is shamefuL Continued negligence
will be fatal. The American people are
not yet so indifferent to their heritage of
constitutional liberty that they will stand
by unmoved if a State as independent in
its self dominion as any other of the thir
ty six is repeatedly foreed by the army
of the United States to submit to the
fraudulently-imposed rule of the minori
ty. No excuse or apology for such acts
is of any account when it is not accom
panied by, a prompt correction of the
wrong done.
The Republican party and the country
is now looking to tho committee which
has just left New Orleans for either am
ple and conclusive proof that Kellogg is
by right Governor of Louisiana, and that
the Conservatives returned elected to the
Legislature were rightfully debarred by a
legally-constituted authority from taking
their seats, or the proposal of a direct and
efficient measure to disposses the usurp
ers and restore the offices, executive and
legislative, to those to whom they belong.
What the person so restored may do is
nothing to the purpose. For their con->
duct in office they are responsible only
to the people of Louisiana, not to the
President nor to Congress. "What meas
ure the committee shall propose it is not
for us to say, but for them. We know
there are great perplexities and embar
rassments connected with this question.
The difficulties are vastly greater now
than they were two years ago, but less
now than they will ever be again. In
our judgment the simplest way is the
best, and the simplest way would appear
to be an instruction in Borne form to the
President that in the judgment of Con
gress the use of the army to sustain in
office men who were not elected, or to
keep out of office men who were elected,
is repugnant to the principles of republi
can government and to the sentiment
of the nation. H it is necessary to desig
nate the particular cases, let it be done.
The Republican majority in Congress
is restricted to the alternative of showing
that the grievances complained of by the
people of Louisiana have no warrant in
the facts, or of redressing these griev
ances so far as the National Government
is responsible for them.—The politics of
these people have nothing to do with
the question. The Republicans of Louisi
ana acquire no rights on account of their
Republicanism, and the Democrats lose
no rights on account of their Democracy.
It is not for Congress to consider what
stripe of politicians the people ought to
have chosen for legislators, but who, in
fact, were legally chosen. We should
have been glad if the people of Louisiana
had chosen a Republican Governor, and
so we should have been glad if the peo
ple of Massachusetts had chosen a Repub
lican Governor.—But we believe that in
both instances they failed to do it, and
we no more approve the imposition of a
Governor not chosen in the one case than
in the other. If such a thing has been
done the sooner the vreric is undone the
better. H the Republican party has
been guilty of doing it, and sustaining it,
no matter by whose agency or under what
provocation, every consideration of patri
otism, and of party policy as well, re
quires it to take the back track.
The President in his annual messages
has invariably uttered just and concilia
tory statements concerning the Southern
situation. The difficulty is that when
the occasion for patting them in practice
has arisen he has been led, we know not
by what influences, to act in contraven
tion of these sentiments. It rests with
the Republicans in Congress to insist
upon the policy sanctioned by his better
judgment, and to point out the way of
enforcing it

The English of the message]is, “Author
ize me to make war upon the govern
ment and people of Arkansas in the in
terest of my third term.” The response
of Congress to this statesmanlike and
patriotic request will be awaited with
lively interest We do not permit our
selves to have any doubts as to what it
will be.
[Utica (X. Y ) Herald, Radical, Congressman Rob
ert* organ ]
The President has made a grievous
mistake in recommending the interfer
ence of Congress in the affairs of Arkan
sas. * * * We cannot conceal our
sin-prise that the President should have
felt called upon to issue this message.
[Bouton Transcript, Radical.]
The people of the country at large will
be inclined to agree with the committee
that is is entirely (inadvisable to re-open
the Arkansas troubles.
[Philadelphia Telegraph, Radical]
The circumstances attending the for
warding of this message are peculiarly
aggravating, and its tone is dictatorial
and objectionable in a singularly high
degree. It is most devoutly to be hoped
that Congress will turn a deaf ear to the
message; that it will not so obstinately
persist in driving the Republican party
to ruin as to yield & moment’s considera
tion to its peremptory instructions.
[Philadelphia Press, Straight-out Radical.]
We do not believe that after the re
port of the House Committee adverse to
interference, and the very general con
currence in it by the Republican press,
there is any chance of action undoing
the present Arkansas constitution and
government. The whole matter ought
to be quietly dropped.
[l\ adhington Correspondence New York Hera!d>
10th.]
The alarm and indignation excited here
among Republicans as well as Democrats
by the Arkansas message of Hi« Ex
cellency begin to bear fruit There is
good authority this evening for the state
ment that the President said to-day posi
tively that ho did not mean to be under
stood as intending to interfere in Arkan
sas unless Congress should direct him,
and that if Congress chooses to give him
no policy or directions, he will not inter
fere in any way in the State. This state
ment does not rest on rumor, but on the
word of a prominent Northern Republi
can, not a member of Congress, who saw
His Excellency the President to-day and
whom His Excellency said this to. Tho
Star also this evening has a semi-official
statement to the same effect It says:
•‘If Congress adjourns without deciding
the questions at issue it is more than
likely that the President will consider
that Congress acquiesces in the present
political status of Arkansas and leaves
Governor Garland to manage the affairs
of that State. * * * *
This denial of revolutionary purposes
comes none too soon, and it was said to
night, in Republican circles, that if the
President were well advised he would
send in another message to explain the
first, or at least take some derided
i .~ans to reassure the public and Con
gress; for there has been, during the
last two days, a growing feeling of deep
uneasiness and alarm on all sides. The
President was understood by everybody
to mean that he intended to interfere,
whether Congress gave him direction or
not, and “the logic of that policy is,"
said a prominent Republican to-day, “that
though he may wait for laws to be enac
ted, if none are enacted, he will act with
out law.” This was the universal im
pression and belief, and for, perhaps, the
first time in oar history Congress felt
authority slipping out of its hands, and
began to think how a President could be
curbed who, men were persuaded, had
declared his intention to act whether the
law-making power gave him authority or
not. What added to the irritation and
the alarm was that it became known to
day that the Arkansas message was not
only not submitted to a Cabinet meeting,
but was not even shown to any member
of the Cabinet. Even Attorney-General
Williams was not taken into counsel. *
It is not impossible that the whole
Southern question may come up for dis
cussion in the South by way of the Ar
kansas report, and it is possible that an
attempt may be made to secure non-in
terference with the established govern
ment, for there are a good many Repub
lican members, and their number is in
creasing, who will not now be content
with a mere private declaration from the
President that he does not mean to act
without warrant of law. “We must re
cognize the Arkansas government in the
clearest manner,” said one of these men
to-day, “else we shall have revolution as
soon as Congress adjourns.” “The na
tion which the President pats forward in
his message that no reconstructed State
shall change its constitution is mon
strous,” said another. “There is no war
rant for it anywhere.” On the whole, it
may be said that tbe Arkansas message,
so "far, has done good. It has shown
tnoughtful Republicans toward what an
abyss they were drifting, and has done
more even than the New Orleans affair
to excite alarm and opposition.
[New York Herald, editorial.J
Instead of “peace" his administration
has brought increasing elements of dis
turbance. The condition of the Sooth,
politically economically and socially,
compares unfavorably with its condition
at the date of his first inauguration. He
has brought the business of the oountry
to stagnation, the National Treasury to
the verge of bankruptcy, and has re
duced his party from a victorious and
seemingly invincible majority to a hu
miliating minority in most of the States
that have recently held elections. The
industries of the county, the tranquility
of the South, the condition of the Treas
ury and the prospects ef the Republican
party are so different from what was ex
pected from President Grant that even
he must preoeive that his administra
tion is a political failure; and by the
sound rule of judging a tree by its fruits
he ought to see that his policy has been
a stupendous mistake.

Feep Into an Old Sari's Household.
The niceties of ancient Ruinan luxury
doubtless often surpassed any of modern
times; but the rule of our remote ances
tors in their victualling was rather
“coarse, and plenty of it.” Queen Eliza
beth, being without tea, had to content
herself with beer and beef; and the noble
men of her time certainly boarded and
lodged themselves in a fashion more sub-
stantial than elegant.
The ancient mode of living may be
somewhat understood by reference to an
old book, precious in the sight of the an
tiquarians,—the household book of the
Earl of Northumberland. It appears that
the old earl had a large family. It con
sisted of six hundred and sixty-six per
sons, masters and servants. Fifty was
tiie average number of his daily guests.
There was a very precise sumptuary code,
and given out in parcels and by rule.
From midsummer to Michaelmas fresh
meat was allowed; for the rest of the year
salted' provisions were alone admissable.
Mustard was in great demand. One hun-
dred and sixty gallons a year were used
at the table; no doubt the character of the
fresh and salt meat required a potent
stimulus to make it go down. One bot
tle and a third of beer was given to each
person daily.
No sheets for the beds were used. Tho
table-cloths were few; they were changed
but once a month, and washing days were
rare. Ninety-one dozen candles served
the family for a year. The family rose
at six in the morning, dined at ten, and
supped at four. The earl and his lady
had, at their breakfast, something better
than the rest—a quart of beer, a quart of
wine, tw o pieces of salt fish, six red her
rings and a dish of sprats.
She Polar Wave.
The cold weather we have been having
of late in these latitudes, says the Cou
rier-Journal, is as the balmy breath of
the May time compared to what they
have been having in Montana, according
to a correspondent. TVrifcing from Sils
ver Bow. in that Territory, he says that
the previous midnight the thermometer
marked fifty-six degrees below zero. This
was the night when Chinamen and whisky
froze, as reported by telegraph. During
a severe cold snap in Iowa, some years
ago, when the mercury ranged for many
days between fourteen and thirty-six de
grees below zero, the teamsters used, so
it was currently reported, before starting
on their long trips, io buy a gallon of
whisky, bore a hole through it, and sling
it by a string to the coupling pole of the
wagon; then they could knock ofi’ a piece
with a hatchet when they wanted a drink.
The Montana correspondent tells of hia
success in freezing mercury. A tumbler
full of the ordinary fluid metal was ex*
posed to the air on a cold night At
forty degrees by the thermometer it was
still fluid; at forty-one degrees it had be
gun to harden on the outside; at forty-
two degrees it was solid. Of course
spirit thermometers are emploved there
by, weather observers. One 'of them,
a very careful man, wishing to be accu
rate, ordered a spirit thermometer from
New York, to be made with special atten
tion to correctness in the scale. It came
in due time, and was a very fine instru
ment, but was only graduated to thirty
degrees below zero. The disgusted me
teorologist pronounced it a good enough
summer thermometer, but not calculated
for northern Montana.
Thb Moon.—Our moon presents a
strange problem fur oar investigation.
It is gratifying to us terrestrials 0 to re«<
gard her as a mere satellite of the earth,
but in reality she deserves rather to be
regarded as a companion planet She
follows a path round the sun which so
nearly resembles that pursued by the
earth, in shape as well as in extent, that
if the two paths were traced down on a
quarto sheet it would not be easy to
distinguish one from the other. Our
earth is simply the largest, while the
moon is the smallest, of that inner family
of worlds over which the sun bears
special sway; nor does Mercury exceed
the moon to so great a degree in mass
and in volume as the earth or Venus ex«
eeeds Mercury. Yet the moon, with her
surface of fourteen million square miles,
seems to be beyond a doubt a mere desert
waste, subject to alternation of heat and
cold, which no living creature we are
acquainted with could endure; and not
withstanding her position as an impor
tant member of tho solar system, as well
as the undoubted fact that in imr mo
tions she obeys the sun in preference
to the earth, she has nevertheless been so
far coerced by the earth’s influence as to
be compelled to turn always the mwm
