A farce—is in - Dechert's district.
Ahern, it will be recollected, was a can
didate for Sergeant-at-Arms at the
organization of the Senate, lxicked by
McMullin and a hest of 4th ward
rowdies. Although Dechert voted for
Ahern, he failed to get the caucus nom
ination. It mina that McMullin and
Ahern returned to Philadelplaiti hold
ing Dechert responsible for the defeat,
by reason of yielding Ahern only a half

These :imventeen Democratic Senators
did this letting simply because they had
the potter to dolt. They were controlled
by no sense of right:. Contrast with 'their
conduct the behavior of the Republican
Return Judges of this Senatorial district,
who. comprised a majority of the board.
They knew, every man of them, that the
returns from the Second, Third, and
Fourth wards, contained a fraud to the ex
tent of 2,000 votes, yet they believed that
it w•as their duty, under the law, to give
the certificate to Mr. Deehert, and they
did it because they were told and believe
that there was a redrese for the wrongs
which had been perpetrated. The seven
teen Democratic Senators have pre:wish/led
to these Return Judges and all others
who are to follow them, that there shall
be no more contests against men =who are
elected by fraud to their body, provided
the persons so returned as eleeted-are
Democrats.

is a popular proverb, intended to illns
trate the uncertainity of human affairs.
A striking exemplification of thia uncer
tainity—a thorough "turning of the
tables,"—we have in the results of the
Franco-Prussian War. The German
States for long years had played a minor
part on the stage of European politics,-
by reason of the weakness incident to a
disjointed and impracticable confedera
tion. Under the policy of her marvel
lous Prime Minister, Bismarck, Prussia
several years ago began to assert a
dominating policy in German affairs,
looking to unity and concentration of
power. Last July, LOUIS Nip:Aeon,
then at the zenith of his popularity and
power, and jealous of Prussia's growing
prestige, determined to rebuke Bis
marck's insolence and crush his ambiti
-01:9 policy. Never dreaming of failure,
he startled Europe with a declaration of
against Prussia, and with high
sounding proclamations of his purposes,
marshalled his armies for a conflict,
which was to be short, sharp and decis
ive. Sharp and decisive it has been, but
not in the direction the French usurper
anticipated. Six months have scarcely
rolled around, and to-day France lies at
the feet of Germany—Louis Napoleon
dethroned and a close prisoner of war—
his magnificent armies annihilated—
his splendid capital invested by the
enemy—and France bleeding at every
lore under the iron tread of the Con
queror,
Not only this. Louis Napoleon de.
dared war professedly to humble Prue

• The military— operations in Frariee
during the last week give the urinal re
cord of French disasters. Gen. gauzy,
commanding the army of the Loire, al
ter his defeat at Le Mans, fell back Ail'
idly pursued by Prince Frederick
Charles, who had ken over k2Anill un
wounded prisoners. Chang 's shattered
forces at last accounts were full 75 miles
west of the battle-field. Prince Freder
ick Charles was in hot pursuit and
maneuvering to throw himself in the
. .
rear of Cbanzy, and force anotbertgbt
or surrender. A forco of 50,000 men,
sett ?mkt *Vberlatift 'to ' retada
Clisuzy, had been intercepted and com
pelled to return.
From'the extreme East, we have in
telligence of an equally disastrous de
feat of the French army under Bonrbaki
Sent-to the relief of Belfort, the only
remaining fortress in Alsace holding
out against the Germans. It is a strong
position in the Vosges mountains, • and
has -been under close siege for some
time... Gen. Weirder attacked the
French within a few miles of the fort
ress, beat them at all points, and was
pressing them into disastrous retreat.
To complete the misfortunes, the
French army of the North, under Faid
herbechas been badly beaten by Gem
Goeben. - Faidhe rbe, after re-organizing,
was advancing - southward towards
Paris, and reached St. crUentin un
molested, when
. Goeben suddenly at
tacked him, after a . bloody battle of
six hOurs carried French pOsitions,
capturing . 10,000 prisoners, and driving
the, beaten army through Cambray to
wards Dettay and the Belgium frontier. '
Thus, in one week, the three roving
French armies, operating in the field,
have been all badly beaten, and render
ed powerless for effective aid to the
beleagured capital. In this whole war,
the French have been out-maneuvered
and out-fought by the Gerjnans. There
seems to be sift utter lack of generalship,
effectively to use the vast resources at
the command of the French—at least no
one capable of contending with the bril
liant • soldiers who lead -the German
columns. Every day's continuance of
the struggle, since the crushing victory
of Sedan, has been only to invoke fruit
leas slaughter of thousands of precious
lives, and a crime against humanity,
Yet we see no signs of yielding on the
part of the French. ,If Gambetta and
his associates of the Provisional Gov
ernment could be forced to share the
perils of the battle-field, there might be
some hope of peace. But their work
seems marvellously akin to that of our
Southern fire-eaters during the Rebel
lion—proclamations designed to "fire up
the Southern heart," and an incessant
gabble about fighting in the last ditch.
That "last ditch" will come in France,
as it did in the South.
Advices from Paris to the 20th instant
state that the bombardment was cans
mg considerable damage; but the fires
occasioned by it were easily extinguish
ed. Some of the mills for the grinding
of corn had been damaged, and supplies
of meal were in consequence failing.
The number of deaths in the city from
the bombardment is estimated at fifteen
per day.
On the 19th, Trochu made a last des
per4e effort to break the German lines
ou the southwest. Massing 100,000 men
iu the Bois de Boulogue, under cover of
a terrific tire from Fort Valerien, he
moved in the direction Aiontretron and
St. Cloud at 9A. M. The French car
ried several German positions, and held
them until evening, when the Ger
mans rallying in large force, retook the
positions after a desperate struggle, the
sortie being repulsed at all points.
Next day, Paris was areeething cauld
ron of excitement. The deposition of
Trochu was demanded. - Trochu re
-signed, and after a stormy session the
Council of Defence appointed Vlnoy,
Frebault and Thomas a triumvirate to
- conduct the defence. Cooler councils,
however, prevailed later in the day, and
Troche was re-instated to the command
of the troops.
It is reported from Paris that Trochu
favors capitulation, rather than the
destruction of the city, in case the
armies operating in the field bring
speedy relief. On the other hand, Gam
betta harangued the people at Lille, after
Eaidherbe's defeat, iu favor of fighting
4the last, denouncing as cowards those
who talked of peace, and predicting
ultiniatetriumph for France.
Tug Supreme Court of lowa recently
decided, if a juryman drinks intoxicat
ing liquors during a trial, that the ver
dict which he and his fellows render
may beset aside and a new trial ordered.
It is not necessary that he should be
actually drunk, but the mere fact of his
drinking is sufficient to vitiate the ver
dict. This ruling, if extended to other
States, would doubtless prove trouble
some to ilium= who have a partiality
for-sherry cobblers, whiskey punches,
gin cocktails, brandy smashes, and other
decoctions which those skilled in "the
art and mystery" of bar-tending are in
the habit of compounding. Regular
drinks will have to be dispensed with,
friendly treats postponed, and if a jury
man should perchance have "a pain un
der the apron," he will be obliged to bear
it with stoical heroism until the trial is
over ere he can venture to swallow the
few drops of brandy which would be re
quired to allay it. If the custom of
putting jurors on meagre diet has here
tofore failed in getting "eleven stubborn
fellqws" to agree upon a verdict with
oue rquonable man, this cutting off of
drinks ought surely in the future bring
that class of jurymen to prompt conclu
sions. In -this aspect of the case we
think the decision l a good one, and
we would favor the.adoption of the rule
in our Courts if we could assure our
selves that, the work of empaunelling a
jury would not become a task of inter
minable time and uusurmountable clif

experiencing .tite depressing effects of
the existing stringency, and so-called
"strikes," prompted by the "unions,"
have been of unusual frequency.
In our cities and manufacturing dis
tricts these "unions" are formed for
the avowed purpose of maintaining a
remunerative rate of wages and of
otherwise benefiting their memters. xf
these organizations were controlled by
prudent and practicable men, they could'
probably be made productive of great
good. Unfortunately this is not always
the• case, it too frequently happening
that, through b e d advice, strikes' are
commenced when no good cause exists
for such a movement. It is a question,
therefore, whether the labor protecting
associations accomplish, in our coun
try, the ends for which they are' organ
ized.
ences
ft
In Europe_ they have failed in theiz
anticipated effects. In some branches
of trade business has either been des
troyed or. driven ekewit§re, by the
harassments to whit ia ASnufacturers
were subjected by the rules, regulations
or strikei of the Unions. This was the
case with shipbuilding on the Thames;
and for some years preceding the pres
ent war France filled the orders that
used to go to England. A few years
ago, England - supplied France,Germany,
Austria, Holland and Spain with loco-
- - -
motives; but the same causes wrought
such a change that France, Germany
and Austria afterwards supplied most
of the Continental deuland, and even
sent their to England aud• India. In
I&!7-8 a seven weeks' strike terminated
n a species of work (Gros de Naples,)
which then kept 400 loom weavers em
ployed, leaving itti district and driving
it to Lancashire. In 1847-8 the article
of jet cords, employing on an average
500 looms, was driven away for shni:ar
causes. Since -that time the manufac
ture of figured brocade silks was at
tempted, but given up and driven to
Middleton. In 1861 a fancy velvet
trade was being carefully cultured, but
shared a like fate and was taken to Ger
many. Other kinds of business have
suffered in the same way, and now the
English capitalist, if he has too much
difficulty with his workmen, quietly
transfers his business to Scotland, and
if that will not do, to Belgium or Switz
erland. He becomes richer by this oper
ation, whilst the workmen become pro- 1
portionately poore„ur
That the Trades' Unions are the,
legitimate offspring of the concentration
of capital and the formation of great
monopolies of various kinds, and that
our mechanics and laboring men have
often just grounds for complainti„ are
facts not to be denied. But, at the
same time, there is a significance in the
experiences mentioned above that ought
to be carefully considered by those who
compose similar associations in the
United States, before they :engage in
"strikes" that throw large numbers of
men out of employment for longer or
shorter periods of time. It appears to
us that, whatever differences may spring
up between employers and employees,
all should endeavor to pursue a course
that will tend bflarmonize, and not an
tagonize, the interests of labor and capi
tal; instead of pulling apart, they should
"pull together." This is doubtless the
correct policy, and if adopted cannot
fail to benefit all concerned.
At this time there is a general strike of
the miners in the anthracite coal regions
of Pennsylvania, and the number of
men thereby thrown out of employment
is by some estimated as high as 100,000,
but those best conversant with the sub
ject fix =it at 40,000. The injurious
effeets of this strike will not be confined
to the miners and their families, but
will extend to thousands of poor people
in the cities where the price of fuel will
at once be advanced, and also to work
men in furnaces and manufactories
using this kind of coal, and to employees
of railroads engaged in the shipping of
it. Thus, we see it staled, that the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Road will have to discharge 26 conduc
tors, as many engineers and 100 brakes
men, whilst the Central Railroad of
New Jersey will have to dispense with
the services of one hundred conductors
and engineers each, and three hundred
workmen engaged in that transporta
tion. Some of the railroad companies,
being largely engaged in the coal trade
themselves, may by the advance in pri
ces make up a great part of the loss they
sustain by the decrease in shipping, but
in the aggregate they also are losers, the
Reading Road having one year lost by a
strike $1,847,369. That the strikers, in
the long run, gain nothing, admits of
scarcely a doubt. if they will estimate
the loss to themselves during an
nual cessations of work, they will find
that it will exceed the amount they may
gain by an advance in wages, which
they sometimes fail to secure; and,
hence, if they wish to consult their . own
interest and that of workmen in other
branches of trade, they ought to dis
countenance - the strikes that are inaugu
rated nearly every year, and frown
down those who instigate them, whether
they be employers or laborers. •
More indefensible still is the policy
of these UlliollB, when they step beyond
the wages of labor, and undertake to
dictate to employers and manufacturers
and direct the management of business,
by determining the quantity, quality and
kind of work turned out, the relative
number of apprentices and journeymen
to be employed. &c. We can readily
concede the right of labor to refuse em
ployment at given prices. But when
these Unions go further and assert that
no body else shall accept the wages they
reject, or presciibe the conditions on
which business-sball be carried on—they
usurp prerogatives which capital dare
not concede and which Li the end must
prove disastrous to labor itself. Capital
made dependent on the -whims of em
ployees, will seek other invariance:its. less
precarious and more comdabit With
manly rights.

ed and also wearing masks, frightening
and maltreating negroes wherever they
found them. An old negro shoemaker,
sitting quietly at his work in his cabin,
was shot dead without the slightest pro
vocation. Near Stamping -Ground three
or four negro families were settled upon
'farms which they had bought of a white
man. That the derides should pAsume
to own farms was altogether too much for
the Kentucky Ku-Klux to tolerate. So
they made a raid upuW these unoirending
people to drive them off their property, and
were very soon ignominiously whipped by
the despised negroee and forced to retreat,
leaving one of their band dead on the
ground.. But the negroes had to leave'
their limes all the same, far there was no
safety for them after having killed one Of
the Ku-Klax • Klan. About ben ranch
from 11.111 44014 kon the 7th inst., a poor
negro family who bad been threatened
with Oath bad gathered all their little
properly, amounting to some five hundred
dollars worth, and pat it In their cabin,
intending tomove to a safer place , the next
day.. That night they were afraid td stay
at home and tamped in the woods: before
morning the •Ke-Klux. had burned_ their
cabin and all it eentained.:. The venal

HOW TO OBTAIN THE LANDS.
To obtain homestead* the.party mat;
in connection with hia applicat i ion to the
General Land Offiee at Washington, make
an affidavit before the register or receiver
that he is over the age of.twenty-one, or
the head of a family; that he is a citizen'
of the United States, or has declared his
intention to become such, and that the
entry is made ter his exclusive use and
benefit and for actual settlement and
cultivation. Where the applicant has
made actual settlement On the land he de
sires to enter, but is prevented by reason
of bodily infirmity, distance, or other good
cause, from pence's' attendance at the dis
trict land office, the affidavit may be Made
before the clerk of the court for the coun
ty within which the land is situated.
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
The amendatory act of 21st March,
1864, United States Statutes, vol. 13, page
83, Timms the requirements of personal
attendance at the district office to persons
in the military or naval service, where the
party's famil&Ox: awe member, ia. resid
ing on the land that it is desired to enter,
and upon which a bona fide improvement
and cultivation had been made. Iu such
cases the said act of 1864 allows the bene
ficiary to make the affidavit before the
officer commanding in the brauch of eery.
Ice in which he may be engaged, and the
same may be bled, by the wife or other
representative of thq absentee, with the
Register, together with the Homestead' .
Application. His claim in that case will
become effective from the date of Sling,,
1
provided the required fee and commissions. ]
accompany the same; but immediately
upon his discharge he must enter upon
the land and make it his bona fide home,
as required by the original act of 20th
May, 1862.
The. 25th section of the act of 11th
July, 1870, so far modifies the original
homestead act as to alluw offieerseiusidieri l / 2
and sailors, who have served in the army
or navy of the United States for ninety
days, and remained loyal to the Govern
ment, to enter 160 acres instead of 80
acres of double minimum lauds. In all
other respects the requirements of the
original and amendatory acts remain in
force, actual settlement and c u Wration being
in no case dispensed with. Special affida
vits are required in such cases. Congress
has also exacted that any alien of the age
of 21 years and upward, whobas entered
or shall elitist in the armies of the United
States, and be honorably discharged there
from, shall not be required to make any
declaration of intention to because a citi
zen of the United States, and may upon
his petition and on proof of honorable
military service be admitted to fat citizen.:
ship, after not less than one year's arid.
deuce in the United States.
Tax DIIIIPOSITION OF HOMZOTBADe.
Where a homestead settler dies before
the consummation of Lie claim, the wid
ow, or in core of her death, the heirs may
continue the settlement and cultivation,
and ot.t.slu Mel. upon requistite
the proper time. if the widoveproves up
the title passes to her; if she dies before
proving up, and the heirs make the proof,
the title will vest to them. When both
parents die, leaving infant heirs, the home
stead may be sold for cash for the benefit
of such heirs, and the purchaser will re
oeive title frum the United States. The
sale of a homestead claim by the settler to
another party before completion of title is
not recognized by the General Land Moe,
and not only vests no title or equities in
the purchaser, but would be prima fade
evidence of abandonment, and might give
cause for cancellation of the claim. A
party may relinquish his claim, but only
to the Government, and in such cues
should surrender his duplicate receipt,
with a relinguislunent endorsed them.;
or if the duplicate has been lost, that fact
should be stated in the relinquishment,
duly signed and acknowledged.

ployed, the grading on this section is fast
approaching completion, and the Iron is
being laid at the rate of one to two miles
a r hil the Meantime engineers are
locating the line westward through cen
-tillrttittlinii are completed
for the contlnencement ' of work at the
Pacific end next spring, and thereafter
the work of construction writ be prosecu
ted from both extremities toward the
centre.
In addition to this, the Northern Pacif.
is Company have recently purchased and
practically consolidated with their own
line the. St. Paul and Pacific Railroad,
their
tett;
of
embracing some 800 miles of finished road
lin Minnesota on which a prosperous busi
ness is already doing.' This purchase re
moves all rivalry between conflicting in
terests, and practically makes Sr. Paul
one terminus of the great Northern road.
The Northern Pacific Railroad system is
certainly assuming a business-like form,
and comprehensive proportions. Ob
viously its 'projectors do not intend to
build a simple trunk road from East to
West and then wait for a profitable traf
fic to come to it. On the cpntrary, they
are at the outset -securing such connec
tions and alliances with the chief lines of
water communication, and with the rail
road system of the Atlantic and Pacific
States, as cannot fail to bring, in addition
to its local business, a large increasing
share of the carrying trade between ocean
and ocean. At Duluth one arm meets the
commerce of the Lakes and the St. Law
rence; at St. Paul the other eastern arm
connects with the commerce of the Missis
sippi river and its tributaries, and with
the railroads , of the central and eastern
States, concentrating at Chicago. These
two arms will unite in Western Minneso
ta. From the point of jitoction'At third
branch will extend' to Pembina on -the
British border, and the
,trunk line will
traverse central Dakota, and follow the
now famous Yellowstone valley through
Montana. Near the boundary of Idaho
the road will again branch—one arm fol
lowing down the valley of the Columbia
to tide-water at Portland, Oregon; the
other striking directly across the Cascade
range to the main terminus on Puget
sound. A North and South branch will
also connect the Puget Sound terminus
with that at Portland. At the latter
point connection is made with the coast
has of road now building southward
through Oregon and California. Both at
Portland and Puget Sound the road will
tap the coastwise and foreign trade of the
pacific Ocean.
The chief advantage peculiar to the
Northern Pacific route are believed to be
these: 1. It reduces the distance between
the . Lakes and the Pacific Ocean some 600
miles. 2. It I , .:.,seris the distance between
New York and the Pacific by water and
rail to the same extent. 3. It lessens the
distance between London. and Chinese
ports by the tratis-continental route at
least 1400 miles. 4. It traverses a belt of
States and Territories admirably adapted
by fertility of soil, mildness of tempera
ture, and equal distribution of moisture,
to profitable agriculture. 5. Its elevation
in the mountain region is 8000 feet less
than that of other lines, resulting in a
diminished snow-fall, a mild climate, and
far easier gradients. 0 At convenient in
tervals it intersects numerous navigable
streams—such as the Columbia, the Cow
litz, the Yellowstone, the Missouri, the
Red, and the Mississippi—which drain a
and mil/ serve as feeders to
the road. 7. It will partake of the char
ecter of an intensatioual route, pernsan
eintly controlling the carrying trace. of
British America, and rendering the im
portant colonies north of the boundary,
and west of Lake Superior. commercially
tributary to our Northwestern States.
Already it is stated that settlers are rap
idly crowding to the line of the Northern
Pacific Raid in the New Northwest, and
judging from what is known of the plans
adopted for promoting the settlement and
development, through emigration and col
onization, of the belt of States and Terri
tories tributary to the line—there would
seem to be no doubt that the Corporation
upon which the Government has confer
ed this great trust, is determined to make
the enterprise not only financially sound,
but greatly and permanently beneficial to
the whole country. With its munificent
endowment of fertile lands, with the nat
ural advantages this route tiudoubtedly
enjoy'', and with the far-sighted policy
already inaugurated, a great commercial
project could hardly start under better
auspices or with greater assurance of suc
cess.
