There is no good reason why the sins of such should bo hushed up while t'ae trans gressions of le&a lavcred persons are visited with all the rurors which law or public opinion can command. Because a man eDj'oys ti e possession of talents r wealth or social la'-k, it does not follow that li vices are to be viewed with a more lenient eye than the vices o: one who ha none ot th'se advan- a ;es.

There i one point iu the near, politi- cal future as to which honest men cf all parties have a strong omraon in- b :u-t It is that hereafter no room siat'.l be left for debt as to who is the legally elected President. The country caouot afl'ord such a disputed result as in 187b" might easily have led to a civil war. P cannot risk a state of uncer tainty in which its highest office is liable to bjcome the prize of criminal audacity or trickery. The danger lies to a lack of definite provision as to au thenticating and counting the electoral vet. s The remedy is not difficult, and th s is the proper time to provide it, iki the cotnp'ra'ive calm, midway between two prsul :uta! elections. A satisfac tory measure must havle the three qual ities of ditijctij( ss, constitutionality an-i simpl:c'y. It mus' exactly specify witdi whom is to rest the validation of the votes.

And it should not in volve the t low process of an amend ment to the constitution, nor necessitate any very cumbersome or intricate ma chinery, benator E imund s bill, which has passed ihe Senate and awaits the House's action, appears to meet these requirments, with a single exception. Its' main pi o visions are that the result iu each State shall be determined and certified by its highest judicialirribunal; that no vote of a State tliur certified fchall be thrown out exceptby agree ment of both Houses of Congress; and that, in case of conflicting returns from the same State, neither shall be ac cepted unless with the assent of both Houses. have declared two or three small divi dends, but the salaries paid themselves their agents and attorneys have been nearly equal to the amount paid to de positors. For the robberies perpetra ted, ei;hef by the consent or neglect of the commission appointed to wind up the affairs of the Freed men's Bank. Congress should hold itself responsible.

LeadiDg R-publcan politicians at Washington are a'ready urging the President to prepa' e a congratulatory message on the subject, ''claiming ail the honor and glory for the Kepublican party, because to that party alone U due the passage of the specie resump tion act." An electioneering document of this kind would not only be very valuable to the party, but it would be worthy the exalted pos;tion of the President of the United States or more appropriately, as General Grant used to put it, "the President of. the Republican party." Still it will be nec essary to wait a few weekR, just to see how resumption gets along, before issuing such an address, and in the meantime, for the purpose of getting his hand in, Mr. Hayes might send in a message congratulating somebody or another on the overwhelming triumph of civil service reform. He has had nearly two years struggle with that and must have found oat by this time whether it has thrown him, and the country is just dying for some official information on the subject. M.

The Destruction of our Forests. A writer who has been making a study of forest trees, their rapid de struction in this country, and their effect on elimate and health, says that since 1835 the forest area of the West ern hemisphere has decreased at the yearly average rate of 7,6u0,000 acres, or about 11.000 square miles, and that this ra'e in the United States aloue has advanced from 1.600 sqaars miles in lb3o to 7,000 in 1835, and 8 400 in 1S7C, while the lust two years have scarcely been less exhaustive. Statistics for 80 years previous to 1835 show that we have been wasting tbe supply of mois ture to American foil at the average o' seven per cent, for earn oua.trr 01 a century during the last 12o years, and that we are now appioachiug the limit beyond which ary fuitler decrease will materially iiifluerce the climate of the entire continent. Ala-y Eastern regions, such as Afghan;stan, Persia, India, and Asia Minor, once posseFsed of a tine climate and abundant har vests, aie now often scourged by pesti lence and famine, and it is al ogethcr probable that their misfortunes began with the disappearance of their native forests. It is quite likely that we shall suffer in climate, fertility, and health before a great while if we continue to destroy our trees as recklessly as we have done, and it behooves us to be warned in time. my .--- Egypt's Cotton Crop Short. The Consul General of the United States at Cairo has informed the De partment of State that tbe cotton crop of Egypt for 1878 would fall far short of the average yield, and that the quality of cotton would be very infe rior. It is estimated that the present crop will not yield more than 1,200,000 quintals of 99 pounds c?ch, while the expor t of cotton from Egypt during the three proceeding years aveiaged 2.900,000 quintals per year. This great tailing oft in ihe cotton crop for 1878 has be-n caused by the lowness of the Nikrloit year, aud it unprecedented overflow this year included most of the lands of lower Egypt, which were plaatsd with com a d cotton. of American manufactures in Europe an markets, the increased power and self-reliant enterprise of domestic cap ital and tbe progressive reduction of tbe principal and interest of tbe na tional debt.

Small pox aud famine go together there in horrid partnership. At the capital, Portalega, the death rate is reported to be six hundred daily from small-pox, aud in the interior the people, in tbe pangs of hunger, are devouring carrion and corpses. Ceara is a maratime prov ince in tbe north 'of Brazil, exenaing betweeh latitude 20 degrees 40 minutes and 70 degrees 25 mi' ui.es south, and longitude 37 degrees 40 minutes and 41 degrees 30 minutes west.

This is the seasia for taking colds, and the Popular Science Monthly tells how to prevent them. It says the mis take is often made of taking great care to put on extra wraps and coats, when preparing for outdoor exercite. This is not at all necessary in robust persons. Sufficient heat to prevent all risk of chill is generated in the body by exer cise. The care should be taken to re tain sufficient clothing after exercise, and when at rest, to prevent the hat from passing out of the body. Iodeed, persons very often catch chills from Messrs. A. C.
