THE EXPRESS. Cartersville, Ga., jOct. 24, 1878. J*UX R. U0BI)0\. Occasionally some paper or person ! innoculated with the virus of Radi- j cal ism, ly ©ourtesy in these regions independentism, takes occa sion to berate General Gordon, be cause he has the courage and the frankness to speak out bis sentiments in favor of the Democratic party, it has grown to be a custom for men asking even as ImnoraWe a position Si that of United Stale* Senator, to go before the people and proclaim their sentiments. In this there is no wrong, so far as we can see. Gen. Gordon’s term as United expires the fourth of next March. The Legislature that meets next month will have to elect someone to fill that position after the 4th of March. Gen. Gordon is aware of that fact, and if he makes himself so unpopular with the peo ple of (ieorgia is to lose iiis chance of reflection by advocating the cause of united, organiz *d Democra cy, then he is the one to suffer for it, and ids friends, not ids enemies, should f 'al sorry that lie ha3 act r *d without lae caution and sound wis dom. If, on tne other hand, a ma jority of the people are with Idm, tie cannot be otherwise than right in appealing to the sound reason and hotter judgement of his constituents in any aud all parts of the Common wealth, and urging upon them the neci sity of th it party nunity and party 7 organization without which the party wool I fall a victim to the arch-enemy of the political and per sonal rights of the people of the South, which are but the rights of all people save the privileged and favored classes in whoso interest the government has been administered ever since 1861. Senator Gordon is not without pre cedent in the course he is pursuing. Recently we have heard of Senators Thurman and Voorhees speaking in their States in the West for the same cause that Senator Gordon is advo cating. And recently, too, Senators Conkling and Blaine have raised their voices in beh .If of Republican mismanagement and Radican thiev ing. Because a man lias been hon ored by the suffrages of his people is no reason why he should keep his mouth closed when the whole peo ple are excited upon the political questions of the day, and want to to hear from their trusted servauls. Such is the auspicious hour for a man to make character for himself if he be a true mail. At such an hour the self-seeking demagogue would stay at home, for fear of offending somebody, and rely upon his “re cord.” To show the inconsistency of such people and such papers as seem to have their modesty shocked by a soldier and a statesman enunciating his views in clear and unambiguous language to the public that he serves, it is only necessary to refer to the very recent instance of Senator Hill interfering, as we suppose, in behalf of peace in this District, and request ing the Ringgold convention to nominate Dr. Felton. All the “In dependent” Felton men were highly pleased when Mr. Hill appeared up on the scene, and the organized par ty was constantly threatened by these deStruetionists with the appear ance of Mr. Hill in this District to to speak for Felton. But Dr. Fel tons empnatle declaration that lie ‘would have nothing to do with conventions,” relieved Mr. Hill from any sort of obligation to support him. Mr. Hill, doubtless, seeing this has failed to put in an appearance for the great Independent office-seeker, and has written a letter in reply to a re quest to speak for the nominee in the Ninth Disttict full of sound argument for organization, which applies as well to one District as another. And now some of those who recently were loud in their praise of Senator Hill’s sound sense and patriotism, speak of him as a fool—as crazy, etc. John B. Gordon lias ever shown himselfa friend of his people—a pa triot in every deed. He went into the “war betw’eeu the States” as cap tain of the “Raccoon Roughs,” and by dint of his native courage and mental endowments he rose, step by step, until at the disastrous close of the war he ranked among the most famous Generals in an array of names that almost dazzle by the splendor of their renown, and with scarcely a living man to take a place between himself and the immortal Lee. After the surrender and during a quasi peace that Grant and his satraps allowed us, tie espoused the cause of his down-trodden people and made a manly fight for the Governorship of the State, winning the prize, it is honestly thought, but was “counted out.” When the Democrats obtain ed control of the State he was re warded for his services by a seat in the United States Senate. And now, when the integrity of the party that redeemed the State is threatened at the hands of Independent Democrats, so-called, and their Radical allies, he esmes to the front, as lie did in the days when muskerty rattled and cannon thundered, and stands by his people. Such a man cannot be driven from his duty by a threat, nor can his lame lie blasted by a word. When the “Independent” who would sneer at a soldier’s honorable wound has disappeared from the stage of action —when both he and his puny effort to break down and destroy the party of the people shall have passed into oblivion, the fame of the battle-scar red Gordon and t lie one-armed Lester will survive. It will become an heir loom—a heritage of the in destructable Democracy. [Rome Courier. The adherents of General Butler made a decided and determined ef fort in Boston on Friday evening to capture the meeting called to ratify ttie straight-out Democratic State ticket. The attempt failed through the firmness of the loading Demo crats of the straight sort present, and tiie meeting in the hands of those to whom it legitimately belonged then proceeded in an ordely manner. The speeches were not boastful of present success, but savored of an apprecia tion of affairs aad a determination to fight an honest hardly-contested bat tle upon the lines held by the old party. A dispatch announces the death of A. E. C.onon, of Orepon, who will; he remembered as the man who claimed the right to cast one electo ,l vote of his State for Tilden. FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD, Paste.— I disiolve a puce of alum the size of a walnut iu a pint of boil ing water ; to this I add a couple ol tank spoonsful of fl >ur, made smooth in a little cold water, and a few drops of oil of cloves, letting the whole come to a boil. This paste will keep for months. Lemon Butter. —Melt one pound ol sugar uud a half pound of butter together, and when this begins to boil stir into it five beaten eggs and the juico of five lemons; add the egg very slowly, removing tjie mixture from the li e for that purpose, and beating it constantly with an egg whi kor a fork; return again to the lire and let it boil again for a minute, stirring all the time. Apple Dumplings. —These baked we think very nice, and supeiior to thosj boiled or steamed. Boil tain any nice puff paste and cut in square p:ec s. Pare and remove the cores from nice stewing apples, and roll an , apple in each piece cf paste ; put them i i a baking di-h, biusa them with the wli.le ot ;u igg beaten stiff, an 1 silt sugar over them. Bik; about three qutriers ol an hour, and serve with milk and sugar, flavored with vunida. Harness Blacking. —The follow lowing composition is sai i to give ex cel ent results ; Orange shellac, one pound; alcohol, 48 per cent., or wood naptha, one gallon; dissolve; asphal tum, genuine, one pound; neat’s loot oil, hot, four fluid ounces; soften the asphaltum with the oil and mix it with the lac solution; then add line ivory black, q. s., and bitter almond oil, one ounce, Agitate until uniform mixture is effected and bottle. This will make the leather flexible, water proof, gives a smooth, black finish, is easy ol application, and dries quickly. SHEEP. She p are the only animals that do no . exhaust the land upon which they feed, but permanently improve it. Horned cattle, especially cows in milk, by continual grazing ultimately exhaust the pastures of their phos phates. Mr. Stilson, ot Wisconsin, by keeping bheep is able to raise twen ty-tour bushels ot wheat to the acre, while the average yield iu wheat in Wisconsin is but ten bushels. Mr. George Geddcs, whom Horace Gree ley regarded the highest authority on agricultural matters in the btate of New York, and who has raised sheep for many years in connection with wheat, bays that, with one sheep to the acre of cultivated land, pasture and meadows, he had nr sheep to manufacture his coarse forage into manure, and to enrich his pastures to prepare them for the gram crop ; that the land is constantly improving, and the crop increasing in quantity ; and that, while producing crops on less acres and at less cjst than ne did be fore he kept bh ep, he lus in addition the wool and the mutton produced by the sheep. STAY OX THE FARM. Slay on the farm. There, at least, youhave plenty to eat and wear. You can find something to do there which will par you better than auything here, where for every place vacant there are a hundred young men and women. In such circumstances it is a manifestation of folly for people to crowd into the city, there to scramble tor the little employment that is go ing. Every charity has more recip ients than it can provide for, and more suffering than its funds can alleviate. Ton can’t live by picking pockets, for there is nothing in them, and burgla ry is duil. If you are a young man, sty where you are. If a young wo man, one prep into the many employ ment offices in this city, where day after day young girls bit almost vainly wuitmg for a chance for honest labor that will save them and their honor, will care you of any desire to come to the city.—[Rochester Union an 1 Ad vertiser. HOW TO PRCXE. “What do you think of my young peach trees, ’ said a neighbor a w'hile ago, as I was looking at his young trees set last w inter. 1 said they look ed very well, only the pruning was a bad job. “Maybe it is,” he said, “but a man who ought to know told me that all the young shoots coming out on the body of the tree for two or three feet up, ought to be cut oil* as they were taking the nourishment from the tree and were of no us*, as he should let the trees branch out higher up to form the top - I, not being experienced in the matter, took his advice. Now, what is wrong about it ? I told him there were two wrongs about it: First, the limbs he cut off should have been left, to form the top, as it is better for several reasons to have the top formed low down, and for this reason it wars wrong; aud if he pret rrtd the top to be higher up, it was a heavy backset to the tree to strip all the young limbs from it uow, uni expose tne naked body to the hot 1 sun all summer. Now I will tell you how I do with my young trees, aud why Ido it. I . am careful not to disturb the buds on the body of the young trees when I am setting them, so as to encourage the gi owtb of as mauy shoots as I cau on the body of the tree from the ground up. Ido this because it gives protection to the tree from the hot sua and other things, and gives the tree vitality, and a stout and stocky grow th. It also affords an opportu nity to form the top as I want it. Af ter the young shoots are well under way, I cut out such as I do not want, leaving some all along from the ground to form the ton. In this way 1 cm have the top well balanced, aud ih limbs at proper di tances apart, and not t*o high tip. I suffer i o forks to form, to finally split down and sp il the tree. Tue body of a young tree wid make nearly twice the growth each season, for several years, if the limbs are left ou the body of the tree, than it will if they aro ta ken cff. You will tiad by trying it that a young tiee will grow 7 much i faster and more stocky by letting most of the young shoots remain ou the body of the tree. I passed through a neighbor’s or chard once in company with the own er just as the young shoots were start ing all along the body of the young trees; aud, as he would c me to a tree, he would strip off all the leaves and young shoots from the body of the tree three or lour leet up, and I observed that his trees made a very poor growth that season, and they had to be tied to stakes lor several y.ars to keep them from beiug blown over by the wind, they grew so tall aud slender. When they came to bearing fruit he would frequently have as many as half a dozen props about a tree to keep the long, switchy limbs from breaking down. Now I thought this to be all wrong, and when I commenced growing trees, I pruned close when setting, and then let the limbs grow low do on ou the body of the tree, thinning out as they became too thick, and shortening in when they get too long. I never stake my trees nor use props for the limbs, but prune so that the tree wi 1 be.ir its own burden.—[M. P. Owens, in Pacific Rural Press. Bartow Slierifl’s Male.
