Ed. Demix'Hat : The i-ham-cM for the rejH'al of the income tax are very nihil iinlc-cil. Mr. Houtwell and hi friend are masters of the position. The ton feretiee Committee of the Jlouse and Senate, on the rlht of the Senate to orijrlnute a measure with regard to re dueiiitf revenue, vaeh time that they meet dl-.nrec more wiilely than ever. An elliirt will be made next Wednemlay to irr into Committee of the Whole in order to take up the Income tax repeal. If successful the. Western members claim that they are strong enough to no amend the bill a to aditiit eoal and wait free of duty. This will kill the bill In the Hen ate and ensure the retention of the tax and the triumph of l'.outwell over l'lca- anton, tlte ITesiiUnt, and the mllitiirv rins. How many more victorieti will IJoutwi-il be jerinittd to achieve over the power which runs tlte President, viz: tlte inilitarj- rltnj? 'ot nmtiy, I take it; the end of 5outwe!l, oa a cabinet of ficer, i neurut hand. The National Kxeeutive Committee of the. Union lA-ai;ue wiJl ntcet in Philadel phia next week. I rom what has Uftn jrivett out we learn that it action will be of a piece with the conspiracy nowjfdnf on here uikUt the auspice of the 84-nate Kouthern Outrage Committee. They will present in the meetinir n-titIons from Awkan.aa, North Carolina, (Jeor gia, Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky, Hettiiif; forth a terrible condition of of fairs, and from this data ni eehes will be made ntl resolutions be p:uiM-l which are intended to fire the Kauical heart in tigress in order to pns laws again put ting the South virtually under the con trol of Grant's willing military tools for election purposes. To hhow how flimsy their pretexts are the following Htate- ment is marie : "in Maryland tne far mers have combined together and will employ no one who is known to be a member or tne Union 1eague." Amles perate cases require dcfis-rate remedies, the desperation of the disheartened Rad icals is prompting them to legislation even more vile than that which thev have already resorted .to In order to maintain power. The case or lr. Miller, United States Senator elect from (Jeorgla, will come up in tne senate to-iay. po fair mind ed man can vote to keep Dr Miller long er from his Beat, Hincc his colleague, Mr. Hill, was admitted Mr. Edmunds, for some reason which seems to tne public to be or a personal nature, very strenu ously opposes his admission. I trust that the case may be acted on to-day, and that aside from a display of Itadical hate, vinaictiveness ana spleen, the re sult may be favorable to Dr. Miller. The West I'oint outrage allalr will come up for discussion to-morrow. As the I'resuient has protected, if not en dorsed the bad behavior of the first class at West Point, in their insubordination during the past two years, he is, of course, anxious that his proleac. with whom his son, uaaet Urant. was a rincr- leader, should escape punishment, and his friend lien Butler has consented to defend the first class before Concrress.- It is expected that Gen. Logan will ursre severe measures of punishment against the guilty cadets. Should he take that side, a lively time will result, ns Logan hits hard, and from his personal dislike of Butler he will not restrain himself in his attack on the cuiltv. The question as to what has become of the nnmngs in the court-martial of the negro Cadet Smith has not been answer ed. Has the President interfered and saved him this time ? The first class of the same institution at which Smith be langs are to undergo trial, . possibly It may be a white-washfne farce, vet the public will know what has been done in the case, but In the case of the negro, some power steps in and the affair is hushed up. : The public demand to know what power is so potential in this case as to defeat the ends of Justice. The latest thing on the card is the rais ing of the mission to Berlin to the same grade as those of Ixmdon and Paris,- The Committee on Foreign Affairs hav ing decided so to report. The name of Mr. rth, of Indiana, is strongly push ed and he will probably be the success ful candidate Almost anv chance In that direction would be for the better. Our present minister at Berlin, Mr; Ban- croltyisa goose; ana the quicker Mr. Orth takes his place the better for -the reputation of our country abroad, which . .. ruineu oetwecn inw-i- tent snobs And those who, like Sickles, have no character lit all. , It is understood that the commission reeeetly concluded between Knirland aud the United States was the result of a mission undertaken by Sir John Hose. as confidential representative of ' the umioii uoveriiiucnt. . sir joim will not serve on the commission. Klthcr tlte Uuke of Argyle or the Duko of Devon shire will succeed him. - J. 11. lATUONM" ! lU NIiANimV." This is tho name of a Farmers', As sociation now bcinr organized in the Western btates. Men. women and children may become members of it. The Associations are called (J ranges, denominated local, State and Nation al, and are after tho plan of other Associations, funned for sixu'inl uur- posos, centering in State and National representative bodies. Col. Daniel n. Curtis, of Washington City, has been appointed organizer, and is now in Ohio on that business. The New London llccord is a paper published in New London, Huron county, Ohio, from which we learn the farmers bad a meeting on the l'Jtu of January to consider the ropriety of gamsiug a Oraugo. Col. Curtis was present," and said: "It was a good Institution be was organizing through out the country, be felt interested in its success. It does not require , the wisdom of a Solomon to see and un derstand that every man wants what is bis own, and that be wants protec tion in the transportation and sale-of bis wares. This protection cannot bo left to others, for if a man does not atU-nd to bis own business, it will not bo attended to." The paper named concludes its re port oh follows: I hen as agricultural industry is the most important of all, and the founda tion of success to all others, it should possess every possibila facility to give it efiiciency, and is the duty as well at the privilege of farmers to adopt every legal means to enable them to keep paco in progrews and intelligence with all other classes, and to prevent Mo nopolies and speculators from taking advantage of them in the matter of markets, prices, etc., as is often the easo by combinations and concerted schemes. ' The speaker showed ibat the Order of "Patrons of Husbandry" is an or ganization in which tha farmers com bine for fraternity, and effectually to proUct themselves from the unjust operations of middlemen and railroad ami other monopolies. He bhowed that it was for the advautage of far mers everywhere to form U ranges of the 1'atrons of Husbandry. He ex plained its objects and workings, aud how to proceed to get them up. and alluded to their beuc-ueial results in Statt'B where they are already. This is all we know of the association at present, but we will try and keep the run of this as of every other move ment that may be made for the bene fit of our industrial interests. Agri culture forms the basis cf our national wealth. It has built our railroads, our great cities, and most of our new Stales. If anv branch of iudustrv re ceives protection, it should be this. But the chief protection needed by farmers is against leing preyed upon by capital and capitalists. They are swindled out of millions in the name of protection, and it is time they were combining to protect themselves against such protection. MAuSTtsVAIX. what be says aboct ctiajfbeematds. ' Against all chambermaids, of what soever age or nationality, I launch the curse of Lachtlordom: Because: Thev always put the pillows on the opposite end of the bed from tbo gas burner, so that while you read and smoke before sleeping, as is the an cient and honorable custom of the bachelors, you have to hold your book aloft, in an uncomfortable position, to keep the light from dazzling your eyes, If they can't get the light in an incon venient position any other .way, they move the bod. If you pull your trunk six inches from the wall, so that the lid will stay up when you open it, they always shove that trunk back again. They do it on purpose.- ' They always put your boots into in accessible places. They chiefly enjoy depositing them as far under the bed as the wall will permit. . it is because this compels you" td go down into an undignified attitude, and make wild sweeps for them in the dark with a boot-jack, and swear. They always put tne match-box in some other place They hunt up a new place for it every day, and put up a bottle, or other per ishable glass thing-, and groping about in tho' dark, you get yourself into trouble. They are forever moving the furniture. When you come in, in the night, you can calculate on finding the bureau where the wardrobe was in the morning. And when you come in at midnight or thereabout,, you will fall over the rocking chair, and you will proceed ' towards the window and ' set down in the slop-tub. This will dis gust you. They like that. , . r: ' ; i No matter where you put anything they won t let it stay there. They will take it ; and move it the first chance they get. They always save - up the old scraps of printed rubbish .you throw on thev floor, and Btack them carefully on the table, and then start the, nre with, your valuable manu scripts. They keep always coming to make your bed before you get up, thus destroying your rest and inflicting agony upon you, but after vou get up they don't come any more till the next dav.

Alcorn, though elected Governor of Mississippi by the negroes and baser whites of that State, and now in full communion with that party, is a better man than some of hit com rades." He has not yet fallen full length snake fashion on his belly in the mire, though be may come to it. Let us bopo not, for really there seems sturdy germs of future repentance, conversion and atoning works in a let ter bo has recently written to li. W. Flournoy a Georgian, it shames us to say it, and well and infamously known in this Btuto though now a resident of Mississippi. It seems that Alcorn had promised to appoint Flour noy a brigadier-general of militia, and that before the latter received the com mission, ho still further earned it, as ho thought, by malignantly assailing tho memory of Gen. .Lee in a public harangue, and at another time as meanly villified tho State University. These infamies reached Alcorn's ears, and in bis letter refusing the commis sion he scourges Flouruoy as follows: "utn. Loo was, perhap, a "rebol, yet, in a much humbler position, I myself stand guilty of the same offense. Neither must I overlook the fact that my party embraces in its ranks men who have been amongst the most de voted soldiers of the south. I cannot, therefore, seemingly approve of any slur cast upon the memory of Gen. Lee, because of Lis participation in tho "rebellion." . A wise conciliation would lose sight of the "rebel'' in presence of the noble qualities of the man and fehining achievments of tho soldier. The University of Oxford is one of the' traditions which patriotism holds it a duty to cherish. Precious tm it is to the cultivated minds of the State, that noble remnant of tho past retains a strong hold upon the affections of the moss of citizens of any race. Against that inheritance of my people, no man or set of men shall, with my acquiescence, dare to raise a sacrili gious band. I can never forge- that I am a white man, with all the pride of tho race that has given to the world that crowning glory of civilization, lib erty. Aiid if I cannot push the negro forward along the glorious pathway opened for him by God, without ar resting the Caucasian in his Heaven inspired progress, tbr-fl must negro liberty learu, so far as I am concerned, to take care of itself." May not Time, the avenger, and its ministering spirit and executioner, the pen of history, when they shall come lo reckon up the heavy account against Alcorn for bis many grievous sins agaiust tho good men and women of Mississippi, hold these words in re- mciabruiico to temper their wrath ? CiUAXD JLUV IltKIXEJiS. We Me by our exchanges that a bill i has been introduced into the iscou- sin Legislature which is designed to !rovide a substitute for tho gaud jury, t is mainly a copy of the Michigan law upon that subject, and provides that all crimes shall be presented forj trial by information, instead of indict ment, 'drawn by the District Attorney; and that he shall draw no information except in cases which have been exam ined first by Justices of tho Peace; and in any case where he refuses to draw an information on the cases presented by a Justice, be shall report tho case to tbo Circuit Judge, with the evi dence. . It further provides that an ar raignment before the County Judge for the defendant to plead, so that, if he pleads guilty, he may. be sentenced immediately, and not be compelled to lie in jail until the session of the cir cuit. The principle and idea embodied in the above are correct, beyond all ques tion. The Grand Jury system is a grand humbug, in one sense, an In iquity in another. It does no good, aud in many cases it works great in jury by allowing cowardly wretches an opportunity to vent their spite upon individuals. Under tho Grand Jury system, as it now exists, any man may be held up to the community as guilty of n felony without the ! least particle of evidence to sustain the charge. Men's reputations are passed upon in the dark recesses of a secret tribunal, where they have no opportunity of de fending themselves. Grand Juries as they now exist are only cloaks for le galized scandal, slander and villifica- tion, and we are in favor of abolishing them. . , . . . . Yet we doubt thepower of any State to wholly abolish Orand Junes. Art icle V. of the Amendments to the Con stitution of the United States provides that "no person - shall be held to an swer for a capital or otherwise infa mous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, ex cept in military ca3es. IIence a Stata cannot abolish Grand Juries. But there is nothing in the Constitution which, requires Grand Juries to be Se cret inquisitions. Therefore a State can provide and thus do away with the great injury inflicted : bv them that Grand Juries shall hold open ses sions; and all persons accused before a Grand Jury shall be notified thereof: if possible, and have the right' to be heard in their defence or explanation, as in, a case of trial before petit juries. i . ; r v Every State should, at the earliest possible moment, introduce this reform into the criminal code. - The lievision Commission of this State would do good service to the public by inaugu rating this -needed reform; Sacra mento Reporters v If a woman was as quick with her feet as with her tongue she'd catch lightning enough to Kinnie iaa lire in tne monv ing.

" '' f WIDOW JONES' COW. - j "Widower Smith's wagon stopped one morning before Jones', and gave" the usual signal that he wanted some? body in the house, by dropping his elbows on Ms knees. Oat tripped the. widow, as lively as a cricket, with a tremendous black ribbon on her snowy white cap. Good morning was soon said on both sides, and the widow waited for what was further to be said.' "Well, Ma'am Jones; perhaps yoa don't want to sell one of your cows no how, no thin, no way, do you? , "Well, there, Mister Smith, yoa. couldn't have known my mind better. A poor lone woman like me does sot know what to do with so many creaf tures, and I should be glad to tradejj if we can fix it." . ;. So they adjourned to the meadow i Farmer Smith looked at Roan then at the widow then at ' the Dowin cow then at the widow again anc so on over the whole forty.

"That ere shorthorn Durham" if not a bad looking beast, but I don't know another look at the widow "The Downing cow I knew before) the late Mr. Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the allusion to the1 latey Mr. Jones. She sighed, and they both looked at each other. It waa a. higblv interesting moment. 1 "Old Pioan is a faithful old milcEy and so is Brindle but I have know better." A long stare succeeded his speech the pause was getting awk ward, and at last Mrs. Jones broke oat: "Law! Mr. Smith, if J'm the cW you want, do say so!" The intentions of Widower Smith, and the Widow Jones were daly pub lished the1 next day, as is the law and custom in Massachusetts, as soon as they were "out published," they were married. N. Y.
