Federal Interference in Elections.
During the days of Grantism and
Radicalism in this countiy, a law was
passed by a Radical Congress authoriz
ing the appointment of certain United
States officials, to be known as “super
visors of elections, ” whose duty it should
be to “take, occupy and remain” in such
position as they might see fit, “whether
before or behind the ballot boxes” on
election days, so that they might care
fully scrutinize every person offering
himself for registration, or offering to
vote, and so keep up a general system of
espionage on the elections. Further
more, it was provided that such
supervisors, at the closing of the polls
for the reception of the votes, should be
required to place themselves in such
position in relation to the ballot-boxes
for the purpose of engaging in the work
of canvassing the ballots as would enable
them to fully perform their duties in re
spect to such canvass, “and shall there
remain until every duty in respect to
such canvass, certificates, returns and
statements has been wholly completed.”
The whole object of this law, as is
plainly evident, was only to place the elec
tions in the different States almost entire
ly in the hands of the Radical party, and
through the manipulation of votes by its
agents and employes, secure Radical
successes in doubtful localities. It is
a law eminently" in keeping with
the centralizing and despotic spirit
of Radicalism, for it not only
opens the door to tyrannical
and unjustifiable outrages ou the part of
Federal officials, but it is a blow aimed
directly at State’s rights, and is, in
every respect, at variance with the spiiit
of our government. It is, in a word,
a bold attempt to make sovereign States
the creatures of the Federal Government,
and, by this means, to keep the Radical
party forever in power.
The Florida Legislature, as our readers
have already learned by special tele
grams and special correspondence pub
lished iu the News, has tpken cog
nizance of this usurpation of, and en
croachment on, the rights of the States,
and on Th irsday last a joint resolution
was introduced and adopted in the Senate
of that State denouncing the system of
Federal interference at elections in the
following strong language:
“The people of the State of Florida, re
presented in Senate and Assembly, do
resolve as follow: That the recent em
ployment of Federal officials, especially
Deputy Marshals, appointed in great
numbers, for the purpose of supervising
and influencing elections held under
State laws, meets our emphatic condem
nation as subversive of the foundation
of popular government and tending
towards dangerous centralization of
power, and that the Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress from Florida are
hereby requested to secure all possible
legislative safeguards against its recur
rence. ”
We are glad that our sister State has
taken such an emphatic stand against
this outrage, and hope to see her example
followed by every State in the Union,
until such a protest arises from the whole
country as will enforce its repeal. This
supervisor-oLelection law was passed in
the first place only to be used against the
South, but recent events have shown that
it is capable of inflicting damage in every
direction. The voters of New York city
are at this moment considerably exer
cised over the high handed proceedings
of one J. J. Davenport, Federal
supervisor there, during the recent
Congressional elections, and we have
the Honorable Fernando Wood’s
word for it that thousands of voters
were thus illegally and outrageously in
terfered with in his State. It is there
fore a piece of despotism which is felt in
all sections, and in the abolition of
which the whole country is interested.
We hope that when the legislation of
the country passes once more into
Democratic hands, and when those who
respect the Constitution and the princi
ples of the republic have charge of the
helm of the ship of State, this relic of
Grantism and despotism, being so direct
a blow at the rights of American citizens,
may be without delay stricken from the
statute books of the United States. If
the American people are capable of self-
government, they are certainly capable
of exercising their franchises as freemen
under their State organizations and
under their own State laws.
Julian Haktridge.—New York Star:
“The death of Representative llartridge,
of Georgia, removes one of the njost ac
complished members of the House, lie
was as kindly and genial as he was gift
ed and brave. No man in Congress
acted more squarely up to bis convic
tions. He did what he did, not because
he thought it wu3 expedient, but because
he thought it was right. He had quali
ties of heart to match the qualities of his
mind, snd hosts of personal friends will
long regret the loss of one whose many
virtues made him an ornament alike to
society and to the State.”
The New York Herald deals Mr.
Grant and the third term an awkward
blow by shrewdly suggesting that the
unanimous refusal of the Councillors of
Cork to tender him a reception, was
probably inspired from America by
Democratic politicians, thus ingeniously
calling attention to the fact that the “re
ceptions” at Dublin, Belfast and else
where were in like manner “put up” y
Republican politicians. Tim World per
tinently remarks that the Herald's para
;raph is smooth as oil, but its edge—or
shall we say its paint?—is sharp as a
sword.

Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria in New
York.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria are on the
increase in New York. The number of
cases of scarlet fever reported during the
week ending on Saturday last was 249,
while the cases of diphtheria during the
same time was 57. The Post says:
“This shows an increase during the
last week of scarlet fever and a decrease
of diphtheria, although the figures are
not trustworthy guides, as some cases are
not reported. It is said at the Sanitary
Bureau that they have done an unusual
amouut of work iu the way of fumi
gating and disinfecting houses in all
parts of the city this week. Some of
these houses are in the most fashionable
quarters of New York and some in tene
ment districts. This list includes some
of the first-class hotels and boarding
houses of the city. The bed clothing
and all fabric material which has been
used in the room of the patient is soaked
for twenty-four hours in a solution of
sulphate of zinc and carbolic acid, which
operation destroys the poison in them.
The room is sealed as tightly as possible,
and from two to five pounds of sulphur
saturated with alcohol are burned in it."
In their efforts to prevent the spread
of the infection, the Board of Health are
taking steps to prevent children belong
ing to families in which cases of scarlet
fever and diphtheria exist from attending
the public schools, and also to prevent
the transportation of soiled linen in the
railroad and street cars.
Down on the Heathen Chinee.—
The California C onvention for revising
the State constitution, has adopted a
memorial to Congress denouncing
Chinese immigration, and asking for re
lief. The objections made to the Chi
nese are: First, that the country is al
ready so well stocked with a vigorous
and civilized people that there is no
need of immigration for the increase of
the population; second, that the char
acter of the Chinese is such that they
do not assimilate with the people of this
country, hut that their coming presents
the question whether this country shall
be ultimately given up to Mongolians,
or preserved .'for Caucasians; third, that
in consequence of the famine iu China
there is danger of a greatly increased
immigration in the near future; and
fourth, that the Chinese bring with them
unclean and demoralizing habits, that
they are destitute of moral principle, in
capable of patriotism, and unfitted for
citizenship.
An American inventor, says the
Scientific Ameriain, claims to have per
fected an electrical device which will
materially reduce the cost of silk reeling,
and so make the production of silk com
mercially profitable in this country. In
the old way not more than six pounds
of silk could he wound in a week; by
this invention it is claimed that forty
pounds will be wound in the same time.
The promoters of this invention hope by
it to increase greatly the silk industry in
this country. Owing to the cost of
labor, cocoons are not reeled in this
country to any great extent. They are
raised here—none better /It is claimed,
can he found elsewhere—and exported
for reeling, and then much of the raw
silk is imported for manufacturing. A
large amount will he saved if the co
coons can be cheaply wound off here
In the South, where the mulberry is com
mon, it is believed that the culture of
silk may rival that of cotton.

that the people of the First Con

that it would be but a just recogni

The Indianapolis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette reports that it seems
to be settled, in view of the acts of the
several caucuses, that Senator Yoorhees’
election is as good as assured. Stale
Auditor Henderson says he will receive
from eighty to eighty-five votes on the
first ballot. This is equivalent to the
statement that five, and possibly all the
Nationals will support him. The Re
publicans will maintain a position of
“masterly inactivity” in the contest.
Beast llutler sums up with his usual
conciseness the points in the new army
bill when he calls it a hill to abolish the
constitutional office of the Secretary of

Company to unload a large quantity of
its stock on the government, and to turn
over to private contractors the arming of
the militia of the United States.

The Age: “If politics are to be purged
and reformed, it cannot be done by re
ceiving meekly such angry blows below
the belt from its agents, and giving noth
ing but bland and gracious compliments
in return. Such men must be made to
understand what position they occupy
in the minds of tire best men of all
parties apd creeds. They should be
made to appropriate the lessen of the
greatest living novelist, that there is
something higher than a man's animal
care for his own skin; that under every
guilty secret there is a hidden brood of
guilty wishes possessing an infecting
activity, a«d Jjj:c virulent acids, eating
their rapid way through thg tissues of al!
moral life. It is evident that Mr. Blaine
enjoys a complete and exceptional ex
emption from the admonitions of con
science. It is only the iron hand with a
warrant in it that has' a^y terrors for
him. The ‘deity in his bosom' is simply
a polineinan in uniform with his club
and handcuffs. And politicians, young
and old, should learn, if they peed the
lesson, that while very brilliant successes
are sometimes attained without a con
science, very dreadful consequences
sometimes follow them, and that it is
safer after all, even from a vulgar, ma
terial standpoint, to parry that tell tale
monitor in the t^soni."
Seekinu Homes in the South.—
There is—and we are not sorry to see it—
an increasing travel to the Southern States
in search of permanent homes. Some go
for the winter only, looking for health,
but many others are attracted by cheap
lands or a more salubrious climate, and
the hope of some day achieving an
orange grove and independence at the
same time. The Tribune states that two
hundred families have left New- York
and Brooklyn this winter, most of them
for Florida, while the immigration from
all parts of the North to Texas continues
large. There are cheap and good lands
at the South, abundance of them, and it
is easy for a stout worker to obtain a
living there from the soil. Labor also is
cheap and plentiful.—Newark (N. J.) Ad

Special Telegram to the Morning News.
Washington, January 13.—At the last
session of Congress an appropriation of
$75,000 to build a light house on American
Shoal, Florida,was made. An additional ap
propriation of about the same amount, mak
ing about $150,000, will be necessary for the
completion of the house. This appropria
tion will doubtless be made at this session.
The first appropriation of $75,000 is, how
ever, sufficient upon which to begin work.
The Lighthouse Board • has advanced a
good way in laying out work for the light
house. It has prepared plans and
specifications for the structure,which will be
of iron. The board has, after advertising,
awarded the contract for furnishing the
metal work to the Phoenix Iron Company of
Trenton, New Jerse)*. They are to con
struct the iron frame and erect it in posi
tion at their yard, where it will be examined
by a board. If satisfactory, the company is
to deliver it on board a seagoing vessel at
Trenton, ready for shipment to its destina
tion. They were given the contract at
forty-6even thousand five hundred dollars,
and they are to fulfill the condition of
delivering the iron work on shipboard by
the first of August next. The frame will be
then taken South. American Shoal, on
which the house is to be erected, is about
twenty-three miles southeast of Key West.
It is a dangerous point for navigators, and
the lighthouse is much needed there. About
six miles north of the point where it is to
be erected are a number of small islands.
On one of these the men engaged in the
work will have their headquarters. They
will put out to the shoal when the weather
is favorable, and put back when it is such
that they cannot work. It is expected by the
board that they will be under full head
way by the latter par^ of August in put
ting the iron frame in position. Having to
be erected on solid rock, and having to de
fer to the weather in prosecuting work,
it will be about two years before the light
will be completed. The house on Forvey
Rock, of which the one on American
Shoal is almost a counterpart, was about
two years iu process of erection. The light
that will shine forth from American Shoal
light will be of the first order; that is,
there will be four wicks. It will be so ar
ranged that it can be either a steady or a
flash light. A general description of
the new lighthouse might be of interest.
It will be built in a depth of about live
feet of water. It will be an irou skeleton
structure composed of piles and columns,
braced and tied laterally and radially, fore
ing a rigid system ami at the same time ob
structing the wind and waves as little as
possible. The top of the structure will be
surmounted by a lantern from which a sea
coast light ot the first order will be exhibit
ed. The foundation will be formed of wire
wrought-iron piles twelve inches In diarae
ter, driven ten feet into the shoal; eight
of them will be driven at equal dis
tances from the ninth or central one,
forming the figure of a regular octagon
Each pile will be provided with a cast iron
disk seven feet in diarlftter, which will
rest on the surface of the shoal, through
the hub of which the pile will be driven
vertically until it reaches a firm bearing on
the disk. The top of the piles will then be
cut off to the proper level and capped with
heavy castings, which will be so made that
their upper parts will form sockets for the
reception of the lower ends of the inclined
columns, and enable the system to
be braced and tied laterally and radially
by horizontal braces and diagonal tie-rods.
The vertical piling taken with the braces
and diagonal ties will form a system called
the foundation series.
On the foundation thus formed the super
structure will be built in the form of
truncated octagonal pyramid. The first se
ries of this system will be braced and tied
in a manner similar to the foundation series,
but the column will be only ten inches in
thickness. Two stairwa}*s on opposite sides
of the structure will be provided in tbi6
series to afford access to the base of the
next series above.
The second series will be formed in
manner similar to the one below, except
that the radial bracingwill be different and
the columns will be of cast iron. The
dwelling for the keepers will be bqilt
in this series, and the whole floored
over with cast iron plates. The latter
will be extended out so as to form a gallery
around the building. Two sets of boat
cranes for the boats will be manipulated
from this gallery. The dwelling for the
keepers will be one story, with mansard
roof, divided into eight rooms, the water
tanks being suspended under the floor. 4
stairway, inclosed in a cylinder, will start
from the floor of the house and be con
tinued to the watch room. The third and
fourth series are similar in construction to
the first, except in dimensions and in the
replacing of the central column by a stair
cylinder, which incloses the stairway lead
ing tq the lanterp.
Above the fourth series is the service
room, built of cast iron, surmounted by a
first-order lantern. The service room Is oc
tagonal in plan—the lantern circular.
The lighthouse will be reached by two
sets of ladders leading to the stairways of
the first series on opposite sides of the house.
The whole structure, when erected at the
site, will painted an appropriate color to
distinguish it from otljcr lighthouses in the
vicinity. The circumscribed diameter of
foundation through centres of piles will be
lifty-6ix feet. The approximate height of the
light above low water level will be one hun
dred and ten feet.
Governor Hendricks, who is in the city,
said to the News representative to night that
Western Democrats are determined not to
ba manu-uvred out of the next Presidential
nomination, notwithstanding the efforts
secretly made in New York. The interest of
the South and West, he says, will unite them
in the selection of a candidate against all
combinations and influences which may be
brought to bear to effect contrary results.
Republican Senators are beginning for
mally to rejoice over resumption, and take
all the credit of it to themselves and accuse
the Democrats of trying to preveut its ac
complishment. They are also beginning to
quarrel among themselyes its to whom tjie
credit of resumption personally falls. They
do not like the idea’of John Sherman taking
all the honor to himself and building there
on his Presidential chances. There is go
ing to be a nice family quarrel on this point.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Washington, January 13.—The agricul

that of 1877 by some thirty million bushels.
The oats crop exceeds that of last year,con
stituting it the largest crop ever raised in
the country. The Sonthern coast States,

Southern inland States as a whole fell
off. The hay crop is 20 per cent, greater
than last year. The sorghum crop is re
ceiving increased attention on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. There is a considerable
increase in the tobacco crop, which has
been secured under exceptionally auspicious
conditions, the weather iu the bright open
days of September favoring the growth,
while the unusual delay of severe frost
enabled the plant to mature thoroughly be
fore the knife was applied. Of the large
producing States, Virginia, Maryland, Con

product as compared with last year as fol

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES — INDIAN AFFAIRS,
Washington, January 13.—The House
Committee on Appropriations discussed the
question of the incorporation in the army
bill of the new legislation proposed by Mr.
Atkins Hewitt, which has been under the
consideration of the sub-committee, who
report back favorably.
Contrary to expectation, the legislative,
judicial and executive appropriation
bill was not considered, the attendance of
the members of the committee at Mr.
Schleicher’s funeral rendering adjournment
necessary.
The War Department’s dispatch say
the troeps have surrounded the Indians
flying from Fort Robinson. They had
fight, and a number of troops are reported
killed. It is ascertained that the Indians
secreted arras and ammunition before sur
rendering in the canon where they made
their first stand after the escape. Thirty
Iudians have been killed thus far. Chief
Joseph of the Nez Perces Indians, with an
interpreter, and Yellow Wolf, a chief of the
same tribe, arrived to-day to have an inter
view with the Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs to-morrow. Joseph wishes to speak
for himself.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Washington, January 13.—The House
Committee on Banking and Currency having
failed to dispose of Hewitt’s bill making
gold and silver iutherchangeable, a propo
sition was made by Ewing that on reaching
the bill for the repeal of the resumption
act, it be amended so that greenbacks
shall be acceptable for bonds ^and customs:
also, that no more four per cent, bonds be
sold to maintain specie payments, and when
the sales of four per cents, reach three mil
lions the Secretary of the Treasury shall be
required to call in the six per cents, giving
thirty days notice instead of ninety.
It is thought that making the duty on all
grades of sugar below rio. 13 uniform,
will remove the inducement for coloring.
The Ways and Means Committee, therefore,
took no action towards the introduction of
the polariscope or chemical tests.
The House Committee on Foreign Af
fairs passed resolutions highly eulogistic of
their late member, Schleicher, and hoping
the balance of his salary that would have
been due him in this Congress, and his
entire salary In the next Congress, be ap
propriated for the family of the deceased.
THE BLAINE-TELLER COMMITTEE.
New Orleans, January 13.—Before the
Teller Committee to-day, G. R. Newraau,
colored, Clerk of the District Court of St.
Mary’s parish, testified concerning the de
struction of ballot boxes.
W. B. McNeal, of Caddo, Sheriff, testified
regarding the Caledoniau affair, corrobo
rating Norwood’s testimony.
Secretary of State Strong was called and
requested to furnish election statistics.
David Wese, of Tensas, said the election
ras peaceable and quiet. The negroes
burned his gin two days after the Fairfax
affair. •
H. Moss, of Tensas, gave the negroes
assurances that the Water Proof people
had nothing to do with the Fairfax trouble.
Hundreds of armed negroes passed
through the town.
J. 8. Watson and J. G. Schaeffer,
of Tensas parish, testified that the
election in St. Joseph was quiet and fair.
The trouble in the parish was due to negroes
wfio, after the Fairfax affair, assembled in
great numbers and threatened to burn the
town of Waterproof.
ADVERSE DECISION TO BALTIMORE AND NEW
ORLEANS.
Washington, January 13.—The case of
the United States against the cities of New
Orleans and Baltimore, involving the title
to two thousand one hundred arpents of
auds in Louisiana, was decided by the
United States supreme Court to-day ad
versely to the latter cities. It is claimed
the laud in controversy is a legacy of one
O’Donnough, who held it under’ a quasi
grant or concession from the Spanish Gov
ernment. This court holds that the mere
permission to settle on land is not sufficient,
n the absence of a formal and legally
executed grant, to sustain the petitioners’
claim under the provisions of the private
land claim act of I860. The decree of the
lower court is therefore reversed, with direc
tions to dismiss the bill.
