ESTABLISHED 1850.
inquiry we learned it was occupied by a
man named Jackson and his family. He is
partially paralyzed aod can do no work.
His wife is also in bad health. To a gentle
man he told the following story: Several
years before the war he removed from North
Carolina to Texas, there engaged in the cat
tle business, and accumulated a good sum
of money. War was declared between the
States; he enlisted with the Confederates,
and while fighting for the South was badly
wounded. He returned to Texas, but so
broken in health that he was unable
to work, and soon lost his all. Then he
concluded to return to North Carolina, and
started on the journey in a wagon last win
ter. He had but little money, which was
soon expended; one horse was frozen, the
other and wagon sold for a song. A, few
days ago they arrived at Eufaula and came
to our city on the steamer Jordan. They
are truly objects of charity, and we trust
some of our citizens will give them aid.
Mayor Wilkins will secure their passages to
Macon in a day or so. The charitable citi
zens of Macon will doubtless aid them on
their journey.’*
The Columbus Enquirer gives the follow
ing account of the finding of
the remains of-*fc Creek brave near
the race track: “A few days ago
a party of children were playing in a ditch
at the place of Mary Freeman, colored, be
low the hospital. They discovered a por
tion of a human skull, and soon dug it out.
The attention of older persons was called
to the fact, and a search was made, which
resulted In finding a skeleton, a large num
ber of beads, and a pair of silver earrings.
About thirty well preserved teeth were
taken from the jaw bone. The bones were
much decayed, and would crumble with
handling. From the frame it is evident
it was that of a large man, and an Indian
beyond a doubt. The earrings are about
three inches in length, and of solid silver.
The remains were found on hard clay
ground, where they had lain, doubtless, for
more than a half century.”
Augusta Chronicle: ‘‘Mr. Thomas M.
Kimbrough, who was stricken with paralysis
last Tuesday, died at 8 o’clock last night.
He leaves a wife and three children. Mr.
Kimbrough, came to Augusta from Rich
mond Va., and has been an unassuming and
excellent citizen of his adopted city. He
was book-keeper for Barrett and Caswell,
and discharged the duties of that position
faithfully and to the satisfaction of his em
ployers. He was a meinber«of the Knights
of Pythias, and of Pendleton Lodge, Knights
of Honor. His family will receive $3,000
from the first named Order, and $-,000 from
the Knights of Honor.”
Macon Telegraph and Messenger: “ Mr.
Charles Norton, who has traveled over the
country, it is charged, as Charles A. Carl,
alias J. N. Swartz, alias Isaac Newton, alias
E. D. Minor, was brought before Judge
Simmons on a writ of habeas corpus. The
warrant from the Executive Department
was attacked by Mr. W. B. Ilill, counsel for
the prisoner, and dismissed by Judge Sim
mons on the ground that the warrant was
for Carle alias Swartz. The man now under
arrest calls himself Norton. The Code re
quires that when a mantis charged with
being a fugitive, aud changes his name in
this State, that fact must be stated In the
warrant. That was not done, aud the war
rant was defective and was dismissed. The
prisoner was, however, remanded to the
barracks, and detained on suspicion, to give
a reasonable time for the authorities of
Harrisburg to act.”

St. Mart’s, Ga., July 1.—Editor Morning
Xews: Supposing you would like to hear how
old Camden is keeping pace with the other
counties of our commonwealth, I will speak
of her present condition, her advantages,
and note her disadvantages, if any, as
proceed. This county since the time of
slavery has not advanced perhaps as rapidly
as some of the other counties of £he .State.
•. Not that her people have less energy, but for
her permanent building up their energies
have, it appears to me, been applied in the
wrong direction. Though this is one of the
best agricultural counties of the State, her
pe 3ple have for some time past been engaged
almost exclusively in the lumber business.
Fair wages and a speedy remuneration for
services, in times past, no doubt caused them
to be so engaged. It is said that milling
and raining is a bane to an agricultural
region. Thp former has certainly proved
so in this locality, for very few of
her people, after being long engaged,
can show much of the benefits of
the trade. The present prices of lumber
and low wages are driving men to other
pursuits—many to the cultivation of the
soil, the basis upon which permanent pros
perity lies; for here will be found lands the
richest, tfre most fertile and productive in
the State. Not Jarge rice plantations only,
but immense corn apd cotton • planta
tions. In view qf your correspondent is
one of those productive plantations, whosp
proprietor, commencing poor in life, by the
cultivation of porn and cotton alone, amassed
a fortune of oyer a million of dollars.
This gentleman, Robert gtafford, of Cum
berland Island, died a few years agq at an
extreme old age.
Some of the large rice plantations of the
.county are very successfully cultivated—I
ui? ierstand ipore profitably so than in the
time of slavery-r&ough it is not in the rice
plantations that we hope for future pros
perity. Jt is in the large bodies
of wealthy hammock land's that were
once in cultivation, where a great
man}' small farms can be made,
and where can be successfully grown all of
the semi-tropical fruits of Florida. No
where in the States can a practical man
make q. more comfortable living with less
labor thaii right here in South Georgia or
Florida. Statistics wijl prove what I say,
that the lands are fertile, climate healthy
and salubrious, water freestone, and I will
here state to our Northern friends that' they
will not have to go through an acclimating
fever the first summer, nor will they have to
travel with quinine pills to keep off chills,
as no section is freer from malaria. This
county In agriculture once held a high rank
among the best counties of the State.
Lands once worth hundreds of dollars per
and that could not be bought at
any reasonable price, are now lying
idle for want of capital, and are like so
much buried treasure in our county. Why
this state of things, and why our section
has attracted so little attention, is a matter
of surprise to this individual. Not in the
cultivation of the soil alone is this county
desirable, for where you find good lands,
there you will fin,d good pasturage aDd
horses, hogs, cattle and sheep all do well.
I have a small drove of horses commonly
called marsh tackies that do well and are
kept as fat as seals without a grain of corn.
No county is better for sheep raising, but
with a sigh I must say, provided our neigh
bors' dogs will let them alone. This county
to me has a little weakness for dogs, and I
fear a little of the ardent. If we could
legislate a reform in these matters, it would
add much to our interest. If a man will
drink then let him pay well for it, and if he
wants dogs then let them be well taxed and
kept enclosed where he will have all of the
benefits, if any, and his neighbors no
trouble. _ T
So much, then, for old Camden, a county I
revere, and upon whose soil I made my
early footprints—a county that once in
wealth and intelligence stood high in the
annals of Georgia; a county that has given
birth to many brilliant men, and upon
whose eoII mingles the dust of some of the
once truly great.

IitpoHTANT if True.—Life insurance
in England, after a century or so of use
ful existence, would .seem to be pre
sented in a new light to policy holders, if
the following letter to the London stand
ard is founded on facts. Says the
writer: "'I see that last week Mr. Justice
Fry decided that a person who had
effected a life insurance, and who had
thus become entitled to participate in the
Drofits of the insurance company, was
iable to be placed on the list of con
tributories when the company was
wound up. If this decision js a fight
one it would seem that every man whe
insures his life, instead of acting pru
dently thereby, is really exposing him
self to the possibility of the same ruin
which has fallen on the unhappy share
holders in the Glasgow Bank. As I feel
sure that this danger IB not generally
known, I hope you will allow me to call
public attention to it.”
Why is it that the boy of ordinary
mind would prefer to go in his every-day
clothes abd sit on a muddy bank fishing
all Sunday rather than to sit. on a. nice
dry seat in Sabbath school for an hour,
dressed up in his best bib and tucker!

THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS.
Sacramento, J aly 3.—On the reassem
bling of the Demoeratic Convention last
evening, a resolution was offered that, with
the exception of the Governor and the judi
ciary, no candidate of any other State con
vention shall be endorsed. This created a
long and heated discussion, during which
the fact was developed that delegates from
San Francisco and Sacramento had been
holding a conference with the managers of
the Honorable Biliks Convention, with the
view of procuring an endorsement of the
Honorable Biliks tickets, on which are many
Republicans. It is strongly argued by
friends of the fusion that on account of
desertions from the Democratic ranks the
only possible chance of success lay in the
coalition, its opponents denounced it as
an attempt to sell out the party to the “Hon
orable Bilks.”
Pending roll-call a telegram from Mr.
Glenn, accepting tbe nomination for Gov
ernor, was read. The roll-call resulted in
the adoption of the resolution by a vote of
198 to 148. Cheers and confusion followed.
Mr. Sullivan, of San Francisco, objected
to putting up Democrats to be sacrificed,
and moved an adjournment atm die, amid a
babel of cries.
Another delegate charged Fowler, of
Tulare, with saying he would vote and
work for the Republican candidates, and
accused him of selling out to the railroads.
The uproar was then doubled, and Fowler
attempted to reach his accuser, but was
seized by Governor Irwin and others. For
a few moments a general row was imminent,
but order was finally restored.
A motion to adjourn was voted down and
the convention proceeded to nominate.
Lieutenant Governor J. 1). Lynch, of Los
Angeles, Thos. Fowler, of Tulare, and Levi
Chase, of Sau Diego, were proposed. The
latter was nominated on the first ballot.
Another motion to adjourn was lost.
For Secretary of State, W. J. Tinnen, of
Trinity, was nominated by acclamation,
Thos." Beck, the present incumbent, de
clining renomination.
The convention then adjourned until to
morrow, Thursday.
TUE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN LORD
CUELMSFORD AND CETYWAYO.
London, July 3.—A telegram from Lord
Chelmsford’s headquarters, dated Cth June,
published in the Vaily News, gives a con
nected narrative of peace negotiations be
tween Lord Chelmsford and the Zulu King.
Lord Chelmsford promised that if the two
cannon captured at Isandula were surren
dered within a week and certain hostages
sent into the British lines as evidence of
King Cetywayo’s sincerity, he would
grant an armistice pending the arrival
of terms of peace, for which he had tele
graphed to England three weeks ago.
Chelmsford, at the request of the Zulu
messengers, sketched the outlines of the
probable terms, namely: The enforcement
of Sir Bartle Frere’s ultimatum of uncon
ditional surrender, Indemnity to England
for the cost of the war, and a re
turn of the spoils taken at Isan
dula. If Cetywayo is unable to comply
with the last named condition, the British
must themselves recover the spoils from In
dividual holders. The messengers were
warned to be prepared for the probability
of the final ceremony of a conclusion of
peace at Ulundl.
4- dispatch from Capetown,dated June 10,
says: ^‘Strong hopes are entertained of the
success of the peace negotiations. The
British forces are disgusted and disheartened
with the war.”
COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
London, July 3.—Fifty men were killed
by the colliery explosion on the High Blan-

High Blantyre colliery pit at the time of
the explosion this morning. Four of the
victims were burned alive. Twenty-one
corpses have been recovered.

Washington, July 3.—Attorney General
Devens has written the following letter to
General Matthews, United States Marshal at
Detroit, In reply to a telegram asking
whether the latter should continue to serve
warrants in criminal cases as heretofore:
Dear Sir—I advise you to perform the
duties of your office, which you in no way
are forbidden to do, to the extent of your
power. The law prescribes these duties %nd
affixes certain fees as compensation there
for. No provision for t)je payment of
fee6 of marshals and their - deputies
has been made, nor can I make
any contract or promise that this pro
vision shall hereafter be made, but vour
performance of your duties,60 far as the law
contemplates that they are to be compen
sated by fees, seems to me to constitute a
good ground of obligation against the
United States,where the services of deputies
are required and expenditures are to be
made. I recognize the difficulties you may
have to encounter in all this matter. How
ever, you will have to rely upon your ex
pectation of future legislation by Congress
•hat shall be just to you. All other ex
penses, except the fees of marshals and
their deputies, have been provided for.

THE PENSACOLA QUARANTINE.
Pensacola, July 3.—A special dispatch
sent from this place on the 29th of Jane, in
timating that the Pensacola quarantine
might be abandoned and yellow fever al
lowed to obtain a foothold, is causing alarm
in the interior, and for the^benefit of all In
terior cities and shippers and owners of the
remarkably large fleet now at Pensacola for
this season of the year and of vessels yet to
arrive, the following card, with a large num
ber of signatures, has been issued:
“The undersigned taxpayers of Pensacola
denounce the dispatch m question as calcu
lated to injure the commerce of our port,
and as not representing correctly the situa
tion. Our port Is perfectly healthy; not a
case of yellow fever has been here in five
years. Vessels from healthv ports are al
lowed to come to the city without hindrance
or detention, but vessels from all infected
ports are quarantined, and compelled to take
cargo at the quarantine station. This state
of affaire will be maintained, and if the
present Board of Health fails to do its duty
the citizens and taxpayers can and will
make the quarantine effective.”
WHITE MEN STEALING HORSES FROM THE
INDIANS.
Washington, J aly 3.—The Interior De
partment is in receipt of official information
that during the past few weeks white men
have stolen about seven hundred horses
from the Indians at Red Cloud Agency and
run them across the Nebraska line. The
State authorities are doing nothing to pre
vent similar raids on the property of the
Indians, and the military authorities, on ac
count oi the law of last year, stand by with
out intercepting or pursuing the marauders,
although the stolen horses are. driven right
past Camp Sheridan and Camp Robinson on
the way to market or to the horse thieves*
corrals. The Indian agent having no armed
force at his command, Is powerless to stop
these depredations, and for the present they
6eem likely to continue.
THE HAYTIEN TROUBLES.
Cape Haytien, June 21.—It is rumored
that the National Assembly at Porfc-au-
Prince has been closed owing to dissensions
between the Senators and Deputies. On the

ers, attacked and occupied the Government
House in Cape Haytien City.
There was fighting all night, and the gov
ernment troops finally drove the rebels out
of the city. Thirty men were- killed and
wounded, and a large number of arrests
have been made. General Parisian escaped
and has fled to Monte Christ!, on Dominican
territory. There is general uneasiness
throughout the republic. Business Is para
lyzed. The harbor Is crowded with vessels
waiting for cargoes, and produce comes in
slowly, owing to heavy rains.
NEWS FROM SAN DOMINGO.
San Domingo, June 19.—Perfect tran
quility prevails. The previous report that
Congress had authorized the conclusion of
a treaty of comiqerce with the United
States was inexact. Congress has only di
rected the Executive to propose to the
United States the free exchange of two
specified products, sugar and tobacco,
against any two products of the United

Congress Winding Up Its Labors.
New York Star.
After several months of heated discus
sion Congress has. at length adjourned,
and we are glad to be able to state that
the people’s representatives in that body
have achieved a signal triumph over the
vicious, ruinous and factional policy so
desperately defended by their antago
nists.
It may be said that the Democrats have
not wholly erased from the statute book
that villainous piece of Radical legisla
tion which converted the Federal army
into a mere partisan electioneering ma
chine under Grant. Quite true; bqt they
have tied the ‘ hands of Hayes, prevent
ing him from indulging in any violence
of the same sort bjr making the obnoxi
ous clause inoperative for this year, and
leaving its complete repeal to be accom
plished at the next session.
In the same way it may be said that
the question of Federal intermeddling at
the polls, through the agency of partisan
supervisors and marshals, has not been
finally and decisively disposed of. True;
but here again the design of the Radicals
is defeated by the refusal of an appro
priation for any such nefarious use,.
It must be remembered that the ma
jority in the present Congress had an ex
tremely delicate task to perform. On
the one hand, a clear sense of duty im?
pelled them not to surrender the princi :
pie of free elections; on the other hand,
they had to avoid everything in the
shape of a “crisis” which would have
alarmed business interests and thus
disturbed industry. It is a mortal pity
that “business interests” are often
times so easily alarmed without
shadow of provocation, yet th^t is
their nature and they have to he consid
erately dealt with. Had Congress ex
plicitly resolved to adjourn after pass
ing the first drafts of the appropriation
bills, it is extremely probable that Mr.
Hayes would hqve gcpeptgd thp situation.
But as there was a possibility of a con
trary result, the Democrats preferred to
hold their ground rather than put the
country to the expense of calling another
session. Moreover, some of the South
ern members felt uneasy lest any cre
dence should be given to the Radical
shibboleth of “ex-rebels trying to starve
thego verament. ”
Were Rutherford B. Hayes put to his
’oath to-morrow and* askfed, IJavp the
Democrats poei-cfti the gxecutiye? he
would be constrained, as a Christi&n and
a church member, to reply: “No, but
the stalwarts coerced me, and we have
not carried our point after alL”

Special Corrcsponaence of the Morning Newt.
Washington, July 2.—Congress adjourn
ed to-day at five o’clock. Every outgoing
train to-night is laden with members anx
ious to get from heated Washington at as
early an hour as possible. By Saturday
night a dignified Senator, or somewhat less
dignified member of the House, will be a
rara avis here. When the Senate adjourned
it was with not too many over a quorum
present. The House had not a quorum
when It adjourned, although there
was a quorum In the city. It was a doll ad
journment. There was no crowd in the
galleries. Even thd reporters’ galleries,
which are sure indices of the importance
and interest of what is going on below, were
almost deserted. The House took recesses,
waiting for the hour of five, and the Senate
went into executive Beseion and cleared up
a large number of nominations, to the relief
of the anxious ones who were named there
in, and who had in many cases been on the
tenter-hooks since this session began. It
was a very doll adjournment. There was
no Ben Butler to make things lively, and all
the lonely men, and everybody else, seemed
to be suffering from the hay" fever. Con
gress might be said not to have adjourned
at all, but to have qnietlv dozed itsHf out
of Washington. It has been in session
since March 18th last. It has had a stormy,
wide-awake time, and went-to sleep like
an Infant after a quarrel with its nnrse.
But it did giant work. Let’s see what
the practical results—leaving out the po
litical bearings—have been. No troops can
hereafter be used at the polls; the jurors’
test oath U repealed; the infamous method
of drawing juries is abolished and impar
tial juries secured; no deputy marshals can
override the elections next fall, and what
is more they never will again. That’s
what the session’s practical results are.
They are not all that was wanted, but they
will do very well, as the old gentleman
said to his boy whq went out to catch a
dozen fish and returned with a string of
seven only. As to what the political bear
ings and effects of the session will be,
everything looks favorable to the majority.
The Democracy in Congress is pleased,
gratified with the Issues raised, and is
perfectly willing to go to the country on
them.
In the Senate yesterday that staunch old
prohibitionist, Z. Chandler, made a few re
marks. His remarks are seldom worth the
chronicling, bat in this case he spoke for
the Republican party. He took the occasion
to read a series of declarations which the
Radical leaders had decided upon as the
“issues” for their party in the future. All
of those “Issues” are either drawn from the
history of the war or from the history of the
extra session. In announcing the “issues,”
Zach enumerated them at eleven. They are l
The Democrats have resorted to revolu
tionary measures to carry out partisan pro-
lects, and threaten to withhold supplies and
starve tbe government to death in attempt
ing to coerce the Executive.
The Democrats have injured the business
interest* of the countiy by the extra session
after liberal compromises were tendered
them previous to the close of the last 6es-
fion.
They have attempted to throw away the
results of the recent war by elevating State
above national sovereignty.
They attempt to damage the business in
terests of tbe country by remonetizing sil
ver at a less value than it represents.
They have removed without cause Repub
licans and ex-Union soldiers from the Sen
ate offices.
They have established a caucus commit
tee to agree upon legislation, which is con
trary to tbe fundamental interests of the
country.
They hold up to public admiration Jeffer
son Davis, and declare that he was inspired
by motives as sacred and noble as animated
Washington. •
They have attempted to blot from tbe
statute books laws which were the result of
the war.
They have attempted to repeal the legis
lation "which excludes those who served in
the Confederacy from holding commissions
in the army and navy.
They have introduced a large amount of
legislation for the benefit exclusively of the
South, which if enacted would bankrupt tbe
Treasury.
They have conspired to destroy all that the
Republican party has accomplished. •
It seems almost impossible to believe
that the Radical leaders have agreed
upon such “issues.” It teems. that they
would not' commit themselves to such an
array of weakness. But they do. Zach
Chandler spoke “officially”—and the Demo
crats can now see plainly what they are to
fight. In short, they are to fight the bloody
shirt, the continuation of “hard money,” a
wicked financial system, and the attempt to
make a monarchy of the country, as shown
in the Radical desire to overrun every right
the State possesses. It Is most surprising
of all that while the Radical party in every
State are coquetting with the Ureenbackers,
that the leaders of the party should take up
the 6ilver issue so 6quarely. The Demo
crats are highly pleased with the declara
tion of principles issued by the Radicals
through their mouth-piece, Zach. Every
declaration that at all particularizes
what “the Democrats have done” is
known to be a lie. The cry of “revolution”
has failed long ago. The. people, even in
the North, do not yell for the bloody-shirt,
and tbe effort to force a strong government
and Grant down the country’s throat will
make men who have “pooh-poohed” States
rights in the past ^wken to the truth of the
fact that when States have no rights, then
the countiy is ready for a Cies&t. The one
declaration in this Radical platform that
alarms the Democrats is that which alleges
that they have conspired to destroy what
the Republican party have accomplished!
Senator Jones will not return to Florida
to stay during adjournment. He will spend
the summer with his family at Wytheville,
Virginia, a short distance from here. Tbe
Senator will deliver the Fourth of July ora
tion at Newark, New Jersey, having received
a most pressing invitation to do so.
There seems to be from the accounts
which reach here a pretty good-sized per
sonal fight up in Maine. The rivalries
among the Republicans in that State seem
to be bringing out much that is inharmoni
ous In the ranks of the party. Heretofore
the State machine has been ran by Blaine
pretty much as he saw fit. Somehow or
other, Uncle Hannibal Hamlin has of late
taken upon himself to manage his own
affairs for his own advancement. And
Bnbby Hale comes ' in, loo, and
says that he was defeated last
time for Congress because-he was intimately
allied with Blaine, and that he is going to
look out for himself in the f nture. Both he
and Hamlin, therefore, fought Blaine’s can
didate for the Gubernatorial nomination a
week or so back and succeeded in defeating
him. The Democrats are meanwhile re
ported to be quick at taking advantage of
personal rows among the Radical leaders
and are making good headway In uniting
the opposition with them and also the
Greenbackere, who were in the ascendancy
at the election last fall. Potomac,
Senator Conkling’s Daughter.—
As illustrative of Mr. Conkling’s power
to lose friends, I may say that after he
had made his attack on Hayes," Curtis,
and others, at the convention in Roches
ter two years ago, the editor of the
Democratic paper, Mr. Fitch, wrote a
leader respectful to Mr. Conkling, hut
not servile in praise of his position.
From that time forward Conkling never
spoke to him. Conkling’s daughter,who
recently married a railroad officer at
Utica, is said to have all thp impetuosity,
perseverance and self-will of “her father.
He antagonized the young man coming
to the house, and from that moment the
young woman made up her mind that
she would take the man if he asked her,
and she did so, the father never putting
in an appearance at the wedding. Mrs.
Conkling, however, has the sweetness of
character and acquiescence in the wishes
of young'people of her brother, Gover
nor Seymour. She thought her daughter
had a right to marry where she loved, if
no other objections existed than want of
fortune or position. Seymour took the
same view, and marched into church
with his niece on his arm.— Utica Cor.

What are “National Elections”!
New York World.
As we approach a final drawing of the
lines between Congress and the President
on the deputy marshal and supervisor
business it is of importance that the
countiy should clear up its mind thor
oughly on the pivotal question whether
we have or have not any elections in this
country which can properly be called
“national” elections ana which cannot
properly be called State elections. In
his last veto message the President uses
this phrase “national elections” as a lev
erage point for landing his
deputy marshals and his bayo
nets about the ballot boxes of New
York and" of every other State.
The persistency with which this phrase
is employed by him and by the stalwarts
everywhere seems to indicate clearly
enough their consciousness that if the
choice of a member of Congress is, un
der our existing laws, not a “national”
but a State affair,' the stalwart conten
tion against the Democratic Congress is
without warrant in law or reason. The
burden of General Garfield’s speech yes
terday was that the Democrats in con
tending that there were no “national
elections” were endeavoring to unsettle
the results of the war. Let us look at
the matter then quietly and rationally.
There are three classes of Federal offi
cers chosen by ballot—the president and
Vice President, the members of the Sen
ate and the members of the House of
Representatives.
With the details of the manner of cre
ating the first named officers the country
has had recent occasion to make itself
familiar. Certain persons called electors
are created by each State in numbers
equal to the whole number of the Sena
tors and Representatives of that State in
Congress, and these electors, appointed
by each State “in sqch utaqner ’ qs the
Legislature thereof may direct," vote for
a President. Nobqdy pretends that the
choice of these State electors who vote
for a President is a ‘‘national election”
in the sense of Mr. Hayes. The electoral
commission by eight to seven insisted
that the nation could not look behind or
touch or otherwise deal with a declaration
by a State of the persons chosen to be the
electors of that State. Florida and Louisi
ana are in that matter, said the electoral
commission, sovereign, and their sov
ereignty is exclusive of any other power.
Every stalwart pessimist oncedes
that neither Federal supervisors nor
deputy marshals can oversee or gnard a
ballot-box into which ballots'are to be
put for the officers who are finally to
choose a President.
In the Federal Senate each State has
two Senators. They are to be chosen by
the Legislature of each State, and to
serve for six years. The “times” and
“manner” of holding elections for Sena
tors shall be prescribed in each State “by
the Legislature thereof,” says the Consti
tution, but Congress may by law either
“make or alter such regulations.” The
creation of members of the State Legis
lature is certainly not a “national elec
tion,” nor is it easy to see how
a State Legislature can hold a
“national election” of any kind. The
merely incidental power given the
Federal Government to prescribe
a time and defiqe a manner c^u bqrdly be
held to make the election an election by
the nation, or to authorize Congress to
put national supervisors, deputy mar
shals and bayonets at the side of every
member of a State Legislature when he
votes for a Senator in Congress, or to
arrest any such member summarily on a
charge affecting his right to vote. And
yet if the Davenport election laws are
constitutionally proper Congress can
take absolute and physical possession, by
means of bayonets, of a State Legislature
when that Legislature is occupied in
choosing a Federal Senator, and can take
tills possession under the plea that the
election is a “national election.”
Thus far the most zealous stalwart has
not ventured to call for 4 “national”
supervision or control or the choice of
Presidential electors or Federal Senators.
Why not? From 1787 to 1870 the nation
went on without any such national su
pervision or control of State Representa
tives in Congress as that to which the
Davenport law is expressly confined.
Why or how does it come to pass that
the choice of a member of Congress is a
“national election,” and that the ap
pointment of Presidential electors or
Federal Senator!is not a “national elec
tion?” The Constitution declares that
the House of Representatives shall be
composed of members chosen every sec
ond year by “ the people of the several
Sta e*,” not by the nation or by the peo
ple of the nation. And the voters for these
UjO ubers shall have the qualifications,
adds the Constitution, “requisite for
electors of the most numerous branch of
the State Legislature.” The State and
not the nation prescribes who shall be
qualified voters. *E ich State may have
different -qualifications; “The right to
vote iu each State," said the Supreme
Court in Cruikshank’s case, “comes
from the State.” To be sure, the fif
teenth amendment puts certain restric
tions upon each State, but the States
conceded the right to make tne restric
tions as to race and color. Not a day
passes in Congress that some Western
stalwart does not pompously declaim
about “my State” and “the State which I
have the honor in part to represent-"
No stylwart talks of representing
the “nation,” or denies that Federa
Senators are subject to the mandates of
the Legislature of the State they repre
sent. A member of the House represents
in fact dnlv a district or a subdivision of
a State. A “House of Representatives”
must represent something or somebody,
and what does the House in Washington
represent?' Does Mr. Garfield officially
represent New York, or anything else
but his Ohio Congressional district? In
what part of Ihe Constitution does the
word “nation” or ‘‘uatfona}'.' 0C£urF If a
grant of powef to' use bayonets in elections
is to l»e built on the word ^national,” the
word surely ought to be found in our
fundamental law. The Supreme Court
said in the Slaughter House case that
“the fifteenth amendment gave no new
right to regulate elections except to en
force the inhibition” about race and
color. Mr. Hayes therefore is driven to
seek support for his vetoes tft the clause
which empqwerg Congress to “make”
regulations of the times, places and man
ner of electing Congressmen de novo, or
to “alter” State regulations. But the
Davenport laws attempt neither to
“make” new regulations nor to “alter”
State laws. They do attempt what Mr.
Thurman denapnees $s the r unconstitu
tional ac| of enforcing by supervisors,
deputy manbals and bayonets the elec
tion laws of New York.
If Congress has the exclusive power to
take possession of and regulate the elec
tion of members of the House of Repre
sentatives, that power has not vet been
exercised. If Congress can in any con
tingency expel all State action or State
interference, excepting as tQ the qualifi
cations of voters, Congress has not yet
done it. If Congress can separate Con
gressional elections from elections for
other State oncers, set up boxes of its
own, prescribe ft registration of its own
and appoint returning officers of its own,
no stalwart has yet proposed such a radi
cal change in our system; and until Con
gress attempts such a change our elec
tions will be State elections and not
“national elections.” The Davenport
law, which Mr. Hayes vindicates, aoes
not modify a single sentence, word or
letter of any State election law, and yet
he babbles in his veto messages as |f
ess had reformed tbe election law

JEWS AND GENTILES.
They Sleet In a Common Sanctuary
to Worship Together a Common
Father—An Rxtraortlnary Brent,
Unmatched in the World’s His
tory.
St. Louis Republican.
Solomon said, over three thousand
years ago, that there was “no new thing
under the sun,” but if that mighty Jew
ish potentate had been living in St Louis
last night, he might have seen a really
new thing—a thing that could only be
the product of the advanced civilization
of the nineteenth century of the Christian
era. This strange sight consisted of a
Jewish and Christian congregation meet
ing together for worship in a Jewish
synagogue.
Ever since the burning of the Second
Baptist Church the congregation has
been meeting at the Jewish Temple
Shaare Eineth every Sunday evening, on
the special invitati jn of the pastor, Rev.
S. H. Sonneschien. The chapel of the
Second Baptist Church, corner of Beau*
mont and Morgan streets, has now been
completed, and will be occupied for
service next Sunday. Last night was
consequently the last occasion on which
the church would be the guests of those
who had proved themselves friends in
need. The occasion was taken advan
tage of to inaugurate one of the most re
markable events that ever transpired in
Christendom—the meeting together of
the two congregations for worship in
common.
When the announcement was made
that the meeting would take place, all
who desired to attend were admonished
to be present early, as seats would be in
demand. There Was never 9 more ner
cessary caution, as long before the hour
of service people began to pour in in
crowds, and by the appointed hour not
only was every seat and every inch of
standing room occupied, but more peo
ple had turned away unable to get in
than would have filled the church twice
over. It was a most remarkable scene for
a Sunday night in St Louis, under the
shadow of a church. The streets around
were lined with carriages, and the side
walks for blocks were crowded with pe
destrians coming and going. Those who
were a little late found an impenetrable
mass of people blocking up the aisles of
the church and extending into {h^ vesti
bule" beyond {he point anything could be
either seen or heard distinctly, except the
-musical portions of the services, which
were of a high order and could be heard
and appreciated by all who were so for
tunate as to get inside, and also the great
throngs in the vestibules and OH th»
sidewalks.
The services themselves were of an un
usual character, and opened with as
organ voluntary by Dr. E. M. Bowmaa,
Qpus No. 1, Batiste. This was followed
by the opening sentence, “The Lord is in
His Holy Temple,” by the choir. A
Psalm was then read, followed by the
singing of that beautiful hymn, “Nearer,
My God, to Thee,” to the tune
‘Bethany,” so popular in congregational
and social meetings.
Rev. Dr. Sonnesoheln then made a
prayer, characterized by eloquent fervor,
ana which in all the attributes of an ap
peal to the Deity in behalf of universal
mankind, has scarcely if ever been sur-
Membere of the visiting con
gregation spoke of it in glowing terms of
eulogy. The choir sang a response from
Beethoven, which was followed by a
Scriptural lesson and an anthem “Jubi
late” by the choir.
Rev. W. W. Boyd, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, then delivered an
address appropriate to the occasion. He
related the story of the fiery disaster by
which lus congregation had been turned
out of its usual place of worship: the
first meeting thereafter at the Mercantile
Library Hall *ud the kind and courteous
letter of Bev. Dr. Sonneschein extending
an invitation for the congregation to
meet at tne Temple Shaare Eineth. He
dilated on the pleasant and hospitable
manner in which they had been enter
tained, and concluded by reading a series
of resolutions passed by his congregation
expressive of their obligation and flianlra
to Dr. Sonneschein and the Jewish con
gregation.
Dr. Boyd then, in the name of mem
bers of his congregation, presented to
Dr. Sonneschein, as a testimonial of their
appreciation of his goodness and kind
ness, a service of silver plate. This
magnificent specimen of the silversmith’s
art consisted of a coffee and tea set of six
pieces resting on a very large and hand
some waiter, a complete ice water set,
pitcher, goblets and slop bowl complete,
the entire collection being of the repousse
pattern, and reflecting no little credit on
the establishment from which it came—
the Simmons Hardware Company. On
the waiter was beautifully engraved the
following inscription:
“Rev. Dr. Sonneschein.

members of the Second Baptist Church

A Reckless and Heartless Driver.
—A farmer named August Grim nut
over a little girl in the streets of Chicago
last Friday, killing her instantly, and
then, in spite of the cries of the specta
tors, whipped up his horse and drove
off. A bystander offered Us horse and
wagon to an officer to follow him, with
the remark that he should catch the
farmer orkill the horse. Thepoljeemi
;ave chase, and after pursuing' him for
ourteen miles into the country finally
succeeded In overhauling and capturing
him. He was taken back to Chicago ana
locked ap, bail {icing refused.
REV. DR SONNESCHEIN,
June 29,1879.
‘•A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
Dr. Sonneschein was visibly affected
by this presentation, and the feeling apd
kindly manner in which it 'WAS done, and
his emotion for a moment cheated his
utterances. ?ut he hnickly recovered
bis equilibrium, and proceeded to de
liver a most eloquent response to Dr.
Boyd’s address. Efcf also enlarged on
the occasion $nd significance of the joint
meeting, and said that whilst tbe ideas of
the. two congregations were vastly dis
similar, they were all seeking the
end, and worshipping a common father.
He drew a graphic picture of an ideal
brotherhood of all nations and creeds
traveling to the great hereafter, with
their hearts and affections fixed cm the
same God, and regarding each as the
children of the same parent.
On the conclusion of Dr. Sonneschein’s
address the benediction was pronounced
by Dr. Boyd, and tbe great congregation,
consisting of over two thousand persons,
dispersed to the solemn tones of the
organ.
A Mirror Attacked by a Sheep.—A
commotion occurred in a farmer’s house,
a short distance out of Rome, on Mon
day. They were cleaning house, and
left open doors leading to aS parts of the
house. In one of the rooms was a large
mirror, reaching to the floor. On the
premises is a sheep whose head is graced
with horns, and which is very tame, en
tering the house whenever an opportuni
ty is presented. This woolly animal got
into the house unnoticed. When first
discovered it was standing facing the
mirror, shaking its head fiercely. Before
it could be reached it stepped back for a
good start, and then plunged its head
through the mirror. Instead of coming
in contact with some other nwimiri, as it
expected, it demolished a $50 mirror.
The crash so frightened the animal that
in its endeavors to escape from the
screams and attacks of the women of the
house it found a place of exit through a
French window.—Utica Observer.
The future King of Italy, Victor Em
manuel, prince of Maples, got into a
passion the other day with a playmate,
daughter of his mother’s maid cf honor,
the Marchesa Montreno, and cried out:
“If I were King I’d have your head cut
off.” King Humbert sentenced him to
eight days’ confinement to his xoom. and
deprivation of one favorite dish at each
meal, and farther ordered no military
honors to be paid to him during another
period of similar duration.
It is unlawful in France to. use churches
for any purpose other than worship or the
; >reftching of sermons on subjects which
i re hot strictly religious. In this coun
try the genius of universal emancipation
permits ministers to preach sermons
without a tincture of religion in them—a
privilege of which notafyw freely avail
ftefflselves.—£*
