The Court holds In effect that the gen­ eral Assembly is the only tribunal competent to pass upon the question. iVSome idea of the manner In Which the forty-ninth Congress wound •p its wjrk may be found in the de claratlon of a member of long exper­ ience, that the record revealed the fact that one quarter of the legislation of the session had been enacted In the few last legislative days. An enrolling clerk ot twelve years1 experience said that never, in that length of tim«, had fro witnessed the haste exhibited ia the last twentv-four hours of Congress ; Which has just expired. I^Goveroor Hill, of New York, the great would-be Democratic candi­ date for the presidency, said, in a re oent speech, "an elector in Allegheuy eounty should count as much as an •lector in New York or Brooklyn, and no more." True enough, and an elect «r in New York and Illinois should •ount as much as an elector in Geor­ gia, but he does not by about 86} per cent. The cause of this discrepancy is fraud, Governor, fraud and crime, but |bey are the only chance you have of Winning the pot you havo yonr eon aing eyes upon. m t&A. Springfield correspondent of a Kendall oounty paper proposes that the Hon. M. P. Castle, of Sandwich, be the next Be publican candidate for lieu tenant governor of the state. It is ye too early to talk about candidates for State offices that are to be filled a year an j a half hence. But If th > northern i>art of the state should get to luraisb the candidate for lieutenant governor It should be none other than the Hon Charles E. Fuller of Boone, a man tminently fitted for the place in oyery way. and who would fill the ebair with honor to himself aud the siate.-Capro/i Herald. l^rTbe weather medal would seem to belong to the territory through Which tbe Winona A St. Peter rail- toad passes.

Hawyer, of Big Foot, performed a marvelous feat in this vicinity Mon­ day afternoon. He was attached to a , cutter, and was passing along the street near the railway companv's blacksmith shop, in the western pirt of this village, when he became sud deoly startled, and making a spring cress-bar to which the whiffletree was attached. Giving another plunge he disengaged him­ self from the cutter and started wild- UT down the railway track toward Lawrence. He gunned himself alone between the rails at terrific speed liaplng culverts and cattle guards like *n antelope. Be twee u Harvard ard Lawrence, over a swale, there is a trestle bridge fully three rods lone upoa which tbe ties are placed from MX Inches to a foot apart,--and over this tbe affrighted animal skipped and leaped as though be weie eu solid footing. How he ever got over there without dropping bis feet through some of tbe "boles" is a mystery. But lut did It and brought up at the depot In Lawrence just is a traiu was pullinr out towards Harvard. A young man IWed John O'Brien followed him to Xmftwrenee, captured and rode bim back to Harvard,--and strange as it may there was not a cut nor a scratch Mywhere upon the horse.--Harvard FRSHIKWT TJI.KVfcL %ND. Eurrott PHINDKALKR:--In the El­ gin Advocate or March 12th, we find a short paragraph which reads as fol­ lows: Atter two years of Cleveland's ad- ministration, and at the close of Con­ gress, we find the President without a party, aid the Democracy without a polioy. This statement will warrant a few moodfents thought, and such thought may prove both profitable and In­ structive. Grover Cleveland entered upoa the duties of bis office as the representa­ tive of a party which had not only been unsuccessful politically for years, but had attached to itself the ^tig- ma of being the party of the defeated dlsunionists. He represented a party made up of diverse elements, each and •11 of which elements, considered themselves as portions of the Demo­ cratic organization. He had the rec­ ord of the Bourbon Democrats as well as tbe War Democrats to carry. He also succeeded one of the most satisfactory administrations which the country had experienced for years. A conservative but firm administration, which will band down to posterity the name of Chester A.Arthur, as a mpst able and judicious executive, and one whose sole aim was the good of the people of tbe United States as a whole. President, Cleveland succeeded £• tho Executive chair of the nation un­ der these circumstances, and also under, those, of having to create a wholly new administration, which was nominally the opposite of an uninterrupted rule of a quarter of a century of the Re­ publican party. A combination of dangers and difficulties, which would have disheartened most men, and made them falter in any high aims, which might have animated them in accepting such a grand aid important trust. But what has President Cleveland done? How has he met his trusts and duties?. Has be not met them like a man? Met them, and tried his utmost to do his duty and his whole duty I Tbat he baa proved unsatisfactory to the extreme Bourbon Democracy and the class of partisan office seekers who believe tbat party and spoils are synonymous terms we readily admit. But in doia< this has be not also es­ tablished a higher political principle? That he has also proved unsatisfacto­ ry to the opposition party, who looked and hoptd to see him fall into grave errors, and commit partisan abuses which would enable them to build up a future success on bis ruins. This we grant he has also done, and we think that every true patriot must give bim thanks for it. He has also proved that in accepting the office of President at tbe bands of the Democrats, be did not necessarily bind himself band and foot, body and soul, to that pure partisanship which is so often manifested by men elevat­ ed by thfi' vote of the people. Tbat in accepting the grand trusts involved in the exeoutlve office, and investiture with tbe veto power, be felt a sense of obligation to his country 'more im­ portant and binding than fealty to pure party, Tbat this grand and whole country looked to bim for sup­ port and defence. Tbat to bim they looked for protection, and guidanse. And his duties, his responsibilities and bis efforts must all be directed, to tbe enforcement of that fundamental idea on which our Republic is founded, the idea of "the greatest good to tbe greatest number." That neither friend nor foe should swerve his course from his honest sense of honor or duty This larger and mare important idea of tbe prerogatives and privileges of ear chiet magistrate, Grover Cleve land has certainly accepted, and re­ alized and made prominent by his careful, energetic course. And be has proved most decidedly that the word patriot, is greater than that of par­ tisan, and the word Union Is greater and embraces much more tbsn that of section or self interest. And il now. as the Advocate says, be has no party, and the Democracy no policy, be has made manifest to tbe people the superiority of the Govern ment to party, and the superiority of true Democratic principles to a nar­ row partisan policy misnamed Demo cratie.
