A IMBIKING COSTILLiT.
Years before the late American Re
bellien, Boas Mircinu., for a rebell
ion against English authority in Ire
land; was tried and convicted. 14 a
feimi, sent to Australia, where he vio
lated, his parole and secured a pas
sage to the United States, wiiere he
has Firm waded. Last week ) , with
the record of a convicted felon still
against his name, he was elected to
the English Home of Commons from
Tipperary. On the above ground he
was; rejected by a large majority, and ,
it is not possible that either party in
England would endorse ,his election
tinder any circumstances. But-with
in a shorter time than the felOny of
I.lirczzu, a large portion lof our awn
country rose up In Rebellion. with
thejntelit to blot oat the Union and
ereet a government of slavery and
oppression. The high-handed at
teni,,t failed ; but to day the leaders
are back again In Congress, and dic
tating the policy of one of the great
parlties of the country. America
treats its felons with a remarkable
leniency compared with England:
For a crime of leas poseible intensity
then treason, as practiced by .South
ern traitors, Unman is debarred
frneM any;right of citizenship or rep--
reSentation in the English Govern
ment, until his. offence is condoned
or - pardoned; while the representa
tives of the old South are again blow
ing and blustering with all the
airs of the old plantation
whips, who used to lash the Demo
,crata into action. The contrast is a
striking one, and worthy to be pen
derPd ty the political ohserver—that
treason is a very easily-?orgotten
crime in a Republic, while aiding re
bellion against allonarchy is hardly
ever forgotten.
CilltEBON, in a recent de
bate, called attention to the jobbery
,
on the part of persons interested in
pntent rights. " Look," he said, "as
it , regards sewing machines. Here is
a machine in which the poor people
all over the country are interested,
that does not cost, in its most expen
sive foim, more than fifteen dollars,
rid yet it is sold for seventy-five or
`eighty:dollars. Every year crimes in
some inventor—as he calls himself—
puts in some
_little addition to the
original patent, and he gets seven
years more; and, at the end of this
seven years, seven years more. Our
patent rights were intended - to ter
minate. at a short period, so that the
public should be benefitted liy them.
I, think the sewing machine business
ie one of. the most glaring systeini of
strong in the country." The argu
thent in' favor of extension is, that
the inventors have not made their le
gitimate profits out of 'their inven
tions, whereas, it appears,' that,:--in
most cases,theinventor parts with his
title to some speculating corporation
long before the term fixed by law has
expired. An Lactation that`does not
pay well in fourteen years for all the
labor expended upon it, is not worth
extending, and we hope the effort to
extend the term of these great sew
ing machine monopolies will fail of

New Orleans. and fora fortime his
friends at the North heard of 'him as
justifying all the bright promise of
his college days. Afterward he was
appointed to a judicial position in
that city. Still later came the news
that he had committed suicide by
cutting his throat in his own office.
This report reached his old *lend

tegrity, had come to be agent-of a
line of steamers running between St.
Louis and NewlOrleane, and he.went
to New Orleans to investigate the et
hic There he learned that Lose,
instead' of committing suicide,. had
been murdered by a band of White
Leaguers, to whom he had given of
fence by some of his judicial decis

to discover the murderers, and that
the whole White League exulted over
ihe fate of the noted radical. Pm

$5,000 for the arrest arid conviction
of the persons who had committed
the crime; but , within less than a

THE RECEST 64 VERY COLDWEATH
A. correspondent recently sent us a
record of the daily markings of the
thermometer in a small town of Ne
braska daring the month of January.
There were only 8 days in the month
when the temperature Was ' above
zero, and the highest marking was
nineteen degrees. The lowest tem
perature was twenty-six degrees be
low zero. The average of the lowest
'markings of-the thermometer at eigh
teen stations in the Northwest re
cently, *as thirty degrees below zero.
Since then a correspondent at Min
neapolis, Minn., has favored us with
ta meteorological table showing the
temperature and weather 'of January
of this year in that much talked-of
climate. This will enlighten our
readers who feel an interest in Min
nesota. In Montana the temperature
his been as low as 56 degrees below
zero. Extremely cold weather is as
disastrous to vegetable as to animal
life. Oar obituary *tonna show how
fatal the comparatively cold weather
here has been to those in feeble
health, and fears are therefore enter
tained 'that vegetatfon may 'stiffer
daring the winter. The continuance
of cold weather is not so much a
danger as the extreme cold some
times reached, and infinitely less dan
gerous than the suddenness of - its
coming and the circumstances at
tending it. When the snows have
been melted from the ground and
the,moistnre penetrating the soil be
gins to loosen the frost, a sudden
snap of extremely cold weather kills
the budding seed, and too often in
jures 'or kills the mathre tree or
shrub. Beasonin' g humanity is real
ly more subject to the danger result
ing 'from sudden changes than un
conscious vegetation. Before a brief
warm spell has swept away the 'pro
tecting snow and tempted
.the seeds
to put forth their tender shoots, im
patient people too often lay aside
their heavy garments and *expose
themselves to dangers not lass real
than those the soldier meets upon
the field of battle.—Phila. Ledger.
Mss. Jr.es G. Swisen ELM, in a re•
cent., letter to a Chicago paper, ad
miniiters a severe rebuke to the "car
pet bagger " cry. She says . :
" There watAbreham Lincoln, who
carpet-bugged from Kentucky, and
carried off the highest - honors of the
Sacker State. Stephen A. Douglass,
too, .walked in upon her soil with an
empty satchel, and filled it with com
missions and hard cash- Last stn
tuer;l met more than a doien men
who' had carpet-bagged into
andl grown rich there, held lands
and' offices and stocks, and went
about in broad daylight just as if
they had a right to be there.. Why
did not the people of - Illinois drive
theSe fellows out with fire and sword,
or severe letting alone ? No wonder
a portion of her Democracy are
moved with sympathy for the wrongs
of the South, now likely to suffer, as
Illinois has done, by the ingress of
outsiders determined to contend with
the 'natives for every chance of mak
ing Imoney , or winning game. Sup
pose we build a Chinese wall around
this country, and keep out carpet
baggers from other lands • then run
a fence around the boundaries of ev
ery State, to exclude the intruders
from any or all the other States."
This is Faring the matter in a
clear light; and a very true one.
T i ze Springfield:Republican is one
of the ablest o? the` Republican jour
nals that traveled over the bridge of
Liberalsm into the Democratic camp;
bat itis growing disgusted with the
condition of affairs there and shows
symptoms of returning. The late
exhibitions of the old rebel spirit in
Congress don't -, snit it, and it very
justly says : '
NO such party as that now in the
minority in the House of Represen
t/dives is going to carry the nation
in 1876• It is simply impossible.

'The San Francisco Bulletin of Az.
27 thus rule:re to the collapse of min
ing do* :
We are afraid that the dreams of
many of those' who were rejoicing
only a short time ago on the acquisi
tion of sudden wealth have already
been rudely dissipated. There is
scarcely a whisper of the cause of the
fearful crash. Porphyry is occasion
ally heard, but there does not appear
to-be.a large number of ; believers in
that hypothesis. Bat amid the ruins
and wrecks which are everywhere en
cotintered on the street, one or two
facts stand , out prominently enough
to invite consideration. A Yew days
ago the. Ophir- mine was selling for
$34,500,000 -„ Mexican, ' which is a
part of the old
,Ophir,..was selling for
s9,7oo,ooo—making a grand ',total of
$14,320,000. Wahave become so ex
pert with ' millions, and handle them
so airly, that few have a conception
of the magnitude of the figures. But
they would be sufficient - to build,with
economy, a railroad from this city to
the-Missouri river. They are,beside,
within $3,500,000 of the total profits
yielded by the Comstock lode since
its discovery. •
These mines are selling to-day—
the one for $16,200,000, the other for
$4,320,000, or a total of $20,520,000.
The earn 'of s23,Boo,ooo—say $24,-
_OOO,OOO in round numbers—has ut
terly disappeared, evaporated in
smoke in a few days. In view of this
astounding fact, we deeire to call at
tention to the very hazardous nature
of mining speculation.. -
Bad airthe condition of things isit
will not be a wholly unmixed evil if
it should teach oar people to bring
to stock operations the - semi cool
heicds and accurate - calculations
which they employ in real estate pur
chases and other transactions of pri
vate 'life:" People do
,not buy lots
without examining the title, spying
oat the "lay of the land,". and estima
ting the probable rise in value. Bat
they bay mining stocks without
knowledge of any kind,—"go it blind,"
in fact, when-there is no situation in
life in which they should have their
eyes more thoroughly open. .Bonan
zas are bought with; , a rash, while
real property is approeched in regu
lar and tscientific parallels.
The money article of the Bulletin
on the same day contained the fol.
lowing : •
If we make the calculation on the
whole number of shares represented
by these mines, the , difference be
tween the best prices this month and
those ruling to-day may well excite
the astonishment of - outsiders and
bring tears to the eyes of those who
are so unfortunate as to lose by the
terrible collapse.

A srEr.cn delivered by Ur. White
of Alabaina, in tho Houses! of Rep
resentatives, and published, in the
Congre.3Bional Berdrd, contains the
Ku-Klux and the White League
oaths.., The person 'who took the
obligatiox of thelformer swore, "be
fore Almighty God, and in the pres
ence of my friends here assembled"—
as if the appeal to his friends were
a culminating solemnity to which the
rest was introductory and compared
with which it was unimportant.. 'f, , The
oath bound him„ among other things,
to keep secret the doings , of the so
ciety; to "come at the calling of the
first grand council of mask multitide
at any hour otthe moon;" to "rattle
the dead bones" and "follow upon
the trac'lcof the scalawag's blood;"
to "regard no oath that will convict
one of its members."
Tun Philadelphia Press has been at
the pains. to search out the votes of
the two pelitical parties of the coun
try, on their bearing on reform. It
comPilea figurescf votes from several
sources, and the conclusion it reaches
is that the entire reform vote at any
time cast is within the Republican
party ; while OA Democratic vote is
at all times and under all circum
stances, intensely partisan. It uses
reform to decoy weak-minded Re
publicans, but never' practices it as
against its own candidates.

The following Benin& leaminenta
of the Thus on the Brooklyn scan
dal meet our hearty approval :
The reports of the great ameba
trial tell as of an ancient ease* who
vindicated his claim to be aalkd It
son of Hass by vending "sandwiches
to the spectators, thus enabling them
to recruit exhausted nature without
losing their places' The - viands dis
pensed by this sable ministrant prov
ed to be ton than than some of the
stories that have htwn told during
the last year about the chief matter
at issue, and he was remonstrated
with, upon this subject by some of his
customers. Wliereupon, instead of
repenting, denying, or protesting, he
solernialy replied: i "Them sarewiches
isn't half so bad as the langwidge I
have to listen to !every day." We
fear that notwitludanding the dignity
of the court and the distinction of
the counsel, it mast be adiuitted that
there is :justice in this i Ethiopian
criticism. Whether the plaintiff or'
the defendant is in the right, or what
ever may be the weight and value of
the testimony tittle far given—as to
which, ;of courser we express no
opinion—the story told makes "lank
widgErnecessary tp simplermannesed,
decent people, of !whatever cOmplex
ion, seem bad, indeed, when uttered
in a public . assembly. We would
gladly omit the publication of. it in
detail, bat the public seems to leave
us no alternative.l And the charac
ter! of the whole Proceeding in this
respect is much aggravated by the
presence of Wise" who itwould seem
should be the last to voluntarily sub
ject themselves to just that -experi
ence. There I hail been nothing in
I this great scandal from the beginni n g
more scandalons+using that word in
the sense of an offense against de
corum, a shock to the same of de
cency—than thisvoluntaq sitting of
a woman and a wife is a public as
eembly while her husband and - her
hueband's friend, sitting within a
few feet of her, charged her through
long days, and with minute detail,
with the violation of her marriage
vows. ' and this
. equally whether she
be 1 g uilty, or, in the peculiar and
high-flown phrase of one of those
men, as white a smiled woman as
ever lied. It is a matter any ref- ,
erence to which does not at all touch
the merits of the case at issue, as to
which we should not venture
any remark whatever. '
To tie oral' testimony there' have
been added letters which, whatever
may possibly be their bearing on the
case, must take la place 'among the
curiosities of Epistolary literature, in
which aspect . only we make them the
subject' of comment. They are com
posed of amatory and religions effa
sions in about 1 equal parts, with a
free effervescence of folly and a copi
ous sediment of 'commonplace. Yet,
we can conceive of nothing more likely
to i deter a man of common- sense
from either marriage or religion, or
both, than the -apprehension that be
might in certain contingencies ; be led
into such a correspondence as that
which has been laid before us during
the last two or I three days. To be
sure it would !interest a man to he
assured' by the fair object of his
spiritual devotion, the Beatrice to
whom he was pante and husband
rolled into one, that she weighed one
hundred and eight pounds, and that
she hopes to reward his love and
tenderness by adding 'ten or twelve
more; but when such charming effu
sions and promises come preceded
and followed by a theology the mys
teries of which, seem far More subtle
than those that have puzzled the
commentators lea the .faradiso, it
world sorely tend to check the rap
tures and to cool the ardor of almost
any ' bearded creature. i However,
these letters may bear ripen the issue
1207/ on trial, (and it will puzzle most
people to see What they have to do
with it,) their' main interest for the
general public, those who are not
within the 'esoteric recesses whence
come such mysterious utterances, is
their evidence i of the intellectually
and religiously high-strung life of
the 'principal parties to this deplora
ble affair. They semi constantly

if they-were ready to snap or scream

not pleasant, although somewhat
amusing. For the influence of such
a spectacle, so 1 far as it has an infla
ence, is to make both ligion and
love rediculons.
Love will take care of tself. That
maybe safely, left to th hearts and
instincts of men and w men. It is
religion that suffers. This inflated
theological nonsense, ridiculous in
itself, and made both sad and absurd
by , the occasion of its publication,
will do more harm to religion than
can be counteracted by the preach
ing of an army of Beechers. True,
that which it I reveals is not religion,
'but a feverishness of the mind which
finds vent in', religious phraseology.
And the • question forces itself upon
us, , whether much of the preaching

" There is I considerable talk here ,

LETTER FROM HAMPTON, VA.
MIL. - rarr Elowt.
Etaxpros, Ye., Feb. 16, 1573.
• EDITOR, REPORTER—Dear Sir : Oc
casionally I receive a copy Of the Es-
PORTEN by favor of some friend, the
receipt of which draws my, thoughts
back to other days before the war,
when I was a robust lad way back on
the Bnewiehanna. These thoughts
remind me that there are many in .
" Old Bradford who may have an
interest in a description of " Our
Home."
" Act of Congress," passed
March 21st, 1866, eleven millions of
dollars, more or leis, which was un
claimed money, belonging to desert
ers, bountylumpers, etc., then re
maining in the U. S. Treasury, was
appropriated for th.) establishment of
National Homes for Disabled Volun
teer Soldiers, and a " Board of Man
.agers " appointed,of whom Ben. Bat
ter is President,. Gen. J. H. Martin
dale Vice• President, Jay Cooke, Hon.
Hugh L. Bond, Gen. Jas. S. Negley,
and others being members. Four
" Homes " were established : one at
Angnsta, Maine ; one at Milwaukee,
Wis.; one at Dayton,Ohio; and last,
and smallest, this t Hampton Vir
ginia. Each is part of one great
whole,inmates being transferred from
one to another upon request, and
paying for the necessary transporta
tion. There are nearly five thousand
inmates on the 'Muster-Roil of the
Homes, all of whom are present dar
ing some part of the year ; but dur
ing the summer 'months not more
than t*o-thirds' of the number are
present, the others going to their
homes on " Leave of Absence."
Every soldier of• the war of 1861,
Mexico, or 1812, is entitled to the
benefits of these Homes,. providing
he can show an honorable record.
This includes all those whose health
has failed since the war, if by reason
of service, though the disease may
not have been apparent during ser
vice, or the evidence sufficient for a
Pension Claim. La cases of disease,
the soldier's own affidavit admits him
as an inmate ; 'out in, wounds, etc.,
it must appear that the same were
contracted in the service. He is far
ther entitled to transportation to
bring him to the Home, upon proper
application to. -any one of the Board
of Managers. Blanks ars forwarded
to any one upon application, which
give instructions necessary to obtain
admission. I have been in Hampton
nearly a year, having been in the
Dayton Home over three years. This
Home is situatsd at the month of the
creek upon which the village of
Hampton stands ; and faces directly
nn Hampton Roads in the direction
of Sewall's Point. - The main gadd
ing is what was once " Chesapeake
Seminary," where the daughters of
the South "finished their education."
Besides this, there is a Hospital,
Barrack, and ether buildings. The
number of inmates at the present
time is nearly five hundred.. The of •
leers are: Capt. P.T. Woodfin, Dep
uty Governor and Commandant; Dr.
Wm. M. Wright., Surgeon; and Capt.
Henry Keyes, . Steward ; besides,
there is the necessary quota of petty
officers, etc. We fare reasonably
well, and our officers are, upon the
whole, a good average. Of course,
perfection is ; not to be expected in
hOttuti otte citiatt4rB !ire
,comfortable as one could wish, and
bedding, clothing, etc., clean and
neat. We wear the old army dui
kV:Cl, a fall salt, of which is given to
each inmate when needed ; but pen.
sioners have to pay for all except the
first suit. Non-pewit:mere are allow
ed four ounces of tobacco per week
Washing is done for all fry contract.
Pensioners retain their pensions, but
mast turn their papers over to the
Commandant upon adrofssiOn to the
Home. All inmates' pensions are
collected by the Home ilathorititip,
and held to the credit of l each pen
sioner, who can draw on the same as
he needs, if ha does not speid it fool
ishly. I can truthfully say, that to a
disabled soldier who bat -no good
home of his own, this place offers a
fair substitute.
Yours truly,
Joss B. HrwErr.
LETTER Tsai/ 1110EIGAIL .
Brans% Uzi Ca.. Feb. 12.. I&
Enron linos= Dear Sir : I
thought a short letter troll this far
away corner of the. world ;night not
be wholly twintereating, order to
tell a little of some oar cold
weather, deep snow, large lamber
logs, and of the operations of the
ltimbermen of this region.! Here at
this point we are just in the southern
edge, of the Kent County district, 20
miles north of the flourishing city, of
Grand Rapids. The. pine, ' south of
za is nearly exhausted, but on the
north the work is only fairly com
menced, and ,the' operations are of
such magnitude that those who have
never been in extensive ilumberin:,
districts can form but little idea, .
what can be accomplished in the
three winter months; and it bids very
fair to have the fall amount this win
ter. Here we used sleighs to haul
logi as early as the 18th of Dec., and
at the present time the snow is about
22 inches on the level.. i From the
statistics which :life read weekly, it
seems that the crop of li?gs will ex- ,
seed that 'of last winter by probably
one hundred million feet -; but the
extreme cold weather and the deep
snow are serious draWbacks at pres
ent, acid qitite a number of. camps
have broken up. At the present time
the prospect looks favorable for a
little let-up•in the cold. Here the
,lowest reached by the themometer
has been 34 degs. below zero, but in.
many parts of the State it has been.
colder. I read in the Grand Rapids
Eagle of 44 below at Coopersville,
which is about 18 miles south, and
25 west, of here. Bat the greatest
inconvenience felt from the-cold no*
is the uncertainty of the trains on
the railroad. First the deep drifts
caused great delays, but after they
had been plowed through Jack,Frost
placed an injunction on the water
tanks, and the consequence is freight
is accumulating very fast along the
O. R. Az LR. R. Still, T. think the
water famine will not last very long;
as some means will be found lo fill
locomotive tenders. I am stopping
with Mr. F. L. Stanton, 3 miles from
the railroad station. He owns a beau
tiful body of fine land, and I think
he has the largest timber in this part
of the State. He makes only shingles.
This winter he is not running his
mill, bat is stocking for 'next gam=
mer, and so we have an extra chance
to note the large timber. I will just
give you the size of three logs we
hauled two days since: the aggregate
of the three logs (16 feet long) is
6000 feet ; the first scaled 2209 feet,
the second 2029, and the top log 1765
feet, and logs that scale 1000 feet are
quite common, though the timber in
this sectio n is not generally so . large;
the average here is generally about
250 per log. Mr . _ Stanton now has
in about 550,000 feet, and intends to
put in about 100,000 more ; but will
hardly be enough for the season's
run, as the season begins about the
15th of March and lasts till Novem
ber; and his mill will cut about 20 M
per day, or abont four million for the
season: Mr. Stanton's mill is a fair
sample of the shingle mills of Michi
gan, of which there are plenty Soine
idea of the mills may, be found by
going along the G. - R. ft, L ' road.
The stations from, Grand Rapids to
Big Rapids are nit on an average
more than two miles apart (distance
60), and at each st r ation there iS from
two to five mills ; bat on account of
the general stagnation in money there
is bat little being' done except get
ting in stock for the coming 'season.
And from present /prospects lumber
men feel in hopes that the spring
trade will open good ; the market is
certainly better than it has been for
a year. D. T. McKE.t.N.
THE LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION
WASHINGTON, Feb 21;—Tne report
of the Louisiana Committee is a very
long document, covering the entire
history of the political condition of
that State Since the' war, and exhibit
ing the canse.s which have led to the
present unfortunate condition of
affairs. It was drawn by 'Air. Geo.
F. Hoar, and the draft, as first sub ,
mitted by him, was pot modified by
the other members of ;the committee.
Its conch:l.°ns are adopted by all
the Republican menabilrs Q 1 the com
mittee, including Mr. Foster and Mr.
Phelps. It was at first .stated Mr.
Phelps would unite with Mr. Foster,
of New York, and Mr. Marshall, of
Illinois.. It is announced to-night
that he wilt agree to the recoLumen
ile,tions of the committee, and will
unite with Mr. roster In a statement
showing that they reached the same
results as the other Republican mem
bers, but by a different course of
reasoning., The committee recom
mend the passage of a resolution
recognizing Kellogg as the GoVernor
of Louisiana. They also propose a
resolution declaring the opinion of
the House that the Conservatives
elected a majority of the members of
the House of Representatives of the -
State Legislature in the last election,
and that some of the members elect
ed were fraudulently j deprived of
seats to which they were entitled,and,
while Congress can take no measures
to correct the wrong, it is the judg
ment of, the House that the Legis
lature of Louisiana shoold take Such
action as justice .and right demand.
These two resolutions express the
views of the committee, which have
not been concealed since their return.
The evidence shows that Kello,gg had
no connection with .the frauds com
mitted by the Returning Board, and
it is not claimed by any of the par
ties that he was responsibte; in any
way for the 'outrageous action of the
board in throwing out several Con
servative members without cause or
evidence, and substituting in their
places Reptiblicani never elected. If
he had been connected with • this
fraudulent proceeding, the first reso
lution proposed by the committee
would be difficult to nattily. There
is noevidence to show that Kellogg
is personally . a bad or corrupt man.
Hit conspicrous fault is a want of
courage and firmbess,l to what he
UtblieS II right Til,no Li lit% dothi
that he mild be stronger and wotdd
give the'State a better Government
with the aid of a conservative House,
provided it were folly ; established
that he was; to be the Governor till
the end a his term.. The evidence
shows that a small turbulent, uneasy,
unemployed class, composed gener
ally of young meal who ; have , come
to manhood since the close of the
war, cause most of the disturbancee,
and commit most of the; violence in
the State. ! Their acts are not ap
proved by the majority of the people,
bat they are desperate, characters,
and in the existing condition of the
State and local Government they
cannot be restrained, but are almost
as mach a source of terror to the
better elass of the white, population
as to the ignorant black s The Con
federate - soldiers were not to any ex
tent connected with this lawless class.
2wo of the members of tthe commit
tee were in favor of recommending
the suspension of the habeas corpus.
Their views in this respect did not,
however, proven, It is the hope of
moderato thinking men that no resort
to each an extreme is necessary. The
report is said to be a' strong and
vigorous paper, and with the evidence
accompanywg it, will be a Valuable
