Significant.—A business firm in Cin

wished to employ four persons in their
establishment. Before the hour of
10 o’clock hi the morning no less than
700 persons had applied for the posi
tions, and the advertisers were.of the
opinion that the number would increase
to fifteen hundred before the day dos
ed. This fact tells the whole story of
the condition to which the country
has been brought under the rule of
Congress.
Off fob Californla.—The depart

on Wednesday, was marked as a scene
of great excitement, in consequence of
the rush of laboriug men and mechan

reports of plenty of employment and
high wages, together with the compe-

their departure from New York.
[iVew York Sun.
In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Vickers, the new seuator from Mary
land, said : “I shall not have one code
of morals for private life and another
for public station, but shall be govern
ed in my official conduct by the con
sciousness which I have always en
deavored to make the rule of my pri
vate life.
Editors in Jail.—A Radical Judge
named Hunter, has committed all the
editorial staff of the Memphis Arm-
lunche to jail, for contempt—that pa
per having told the truth, aud terribly
excoriated his rhinoceros hide. Mrs.
Galloway, wife of tbe principal edi
tor, announces that she has assumed
editorial charge of it, and that it will
be published as usual.
(he whole subject is very certain.
This, however, is the least of the dan
gers which threaten to balk the pur
pose of the loyal people, determined
that Johnson shall ho longer protect
treason and punish loyalty in tbe Pres
idential chair.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court is his ally. Salmon P. Chase,
mad with the Presidential fever, and
desperate in the consciousness of baf
fled plans, meanly jealous of Wade,
and perhaps cherishing the forlorn
hope of a Democratic nomination,
joins forces with the enemy and stands
as the Presidential ally. It has been
known for a long time that the rela
tions between the Chief Justice and
the President were more cordial than
was made necessary by the mere of
ficial relations of the parties, and last
Wednesday night, the rooms of the
Chief Justice, filled with the gay and
fashionable winter society of Wash
ington, were startled as by an electric
shock when the doors were flung
open, and the usher, in a loud voice,
announced “ The President of the
United States and daughter.” Few
who were present with me will soon
forget the significant looks which pass
ed from face to face through those
brilliaut and crowded rooms, as the
unusual event of the President of the
Uuited States attending an evening
reception of the Chief Justice waslul-
ly realized. His carping letter to tbe
Senate—his refusal, at first, to obey
the mandate to appear as its presiding
officer—and his decisions of the fol
lowing day, are but the unfolding of a
plot to obstruct and defeat, as far as
possible, the conviction of the Presi
dent. How far he may be able to
work barm depends, of course, on
the firmness of the Senate; but, in
any event, he is a serious obstacle
with evil intentions only limited by
his courage, which latter fortunately
is not great. He seems determined to
maintain the consistency of a public
career which may be summed up in
these words: He has never had an
opportunity to serve his party that he did
not betray it.
The Senate itself is the next great
danger. There is reason to believe
that a serious defection exists among
the Republicans on this question.
Ross, of Kansas, and Sprague, of
Rhode Island (Chase’s son-in-law),
are already counted secure as two ol
the seven Republicans it is necessary
to win over to prevent a conviction.
The more than probable defection ol
Fessenden would carry at least lour
more gentlemen who hang on his
skirts. The folly of Congress in not
providing for the suspension of the
President during triaj will soon be
evident. The boundless opportunity
this gives the culprit to corrupt his
judges will not remain unimproved.
The must menacing donger of all
however, is the probable decision by
a majority of the Supreme Court in
the case of McArdte, that the Recon
struction Acts are unconstitutional.
Congress has failed to pass tbe law
requiring a two-thirds vote for such a
decision (Trumbull stuffed the bill in
the Senate, and we are thus hasten
ing to a point where everything we
have gained for loyalty and the negro
is to be undone by judicial fiat.
The situation is alarming, and tbe
people must be aroused, or all is lost.

The value of tuntruance* to save
labor is only begi t ing to be appre

has beeu when iab r was so cheap that
it was scarcely wi b -.aving. Then
a machine which d "he work of ten

as a very objectu a e invention, be

the case with our »eoj le; for though
laborers (so-called) are still numerous,
laborers of the kind wanted are decid
edly few. It is trie that farm hands are
still to be had, and a! > blacksmiths,

In one special place this tight shoe
pinches our people sorely. They have,
as a general rule, been accustomed to
tbe service ol servants—persons whose
duty it is to obey any < rder* issued by
their employers, and to do any kind
of work upon the premises, that may
be desired. But ihere are now no ser
vants in the country. The decree has
been published that all men are born
free aud equal, and our new fledged
citizens deem it beneath them to do
menial service, even when they are
employed nud paid for this kind of
w’ork—and nothing else. There is, it
is true, nothing dishonorable in a man,
or a woman, maki ig an honest living
by attending to tin- w.mtaof a fellow-
creature, even when tl is is done in an
humble station, .'re uently it is the
case that this posi o i is the one for

chase the eggs in the market, and seil
the chickens, as soon as hatched, at
from six to twelve cents each, accord
ing to the season of the year. The
hatching-room is kept dark, and at an
even temperature in summer and win
ter. In this room a number of boxes,
two feet long, one foot wide, and one
foot six inches deep, ate arranged along
tbe wails. These boxes are covered
in with lattice or wire work, and serve
for turkeys to hatch any king of eggs.
Similar boxes, but of smaller diinen
Rions, are provided for breeding fowls.
The bed of the boxes lorrned of heather,
straw, hay, or cocoa fibre; and the
number of eggs for a turkey to
hatch is two dozen, and one dozen for
hens.
At any time of the year, turkeys,
whether broody or not, are taught to
sit and hatch in the following manner:
.Some addled eggs are emptied, filled
with plaster of Paris, and placed in a
nest, after which a turkey is fetched
from the yard, and placed on the eggs,
and coveied over with the lattice; for
the first forty-eight hours she will en
deavor to get out of her Confinement,
but soon becomes reconciled to it,
when fresh egg? are substituted for
the plaster of Paris ones. They will
continue to hatch, without intermis
sion, for three to six months, and £ven
longer; the chickens being withdrawn
as soon as hatched, and fresh eggs sub
stituted. After the third day the eggs
are examined, and the clear eggs with
drawn, which are then sold in the mark
et as new laid; but as they may be Boil
ed or discolored from having been sat
upon, they clean them with water
and silver sand to restore their origi
nal whiteness. The turkeys are taken
off the nest once a day, to feed and to
remove the excrements from the ri eat;
but after awhile they cease self-feed
ing, when it is necessary to cram them,
and give them some water once a day.
At one place we observed,” say*
Geyelin, in his account of a visit made
but a few weeks ago, “sixty turkeys
hatching at the same time; and we
were informed that’ during winter and
early spring, M. Auche had sometimes
upwards of one hundred hatching al
the same time and that each turkey
continued hatching or setting, as we
term it, for at least three months.”
“At a farm near Lizieux.” say* he,
“I saw a turkey that was then sitting,
and had beeu so upwarde of six
months; and, as I considered it rather
cruel, the hatcher, to prove the con
trary, took her off the nest and put her
in a meadow, and also removed the
eggs ; the turkey, however, to my sur
prise, returned immediately to her
nest, and called in a most plaintive
voice for her eggs; then some eggs were
placed in a corner of the box, which
she instantly drew under her with her
beak, and seemed quite delighted.
Moreover, I was informed that it was
of great economical advantage to em-'
ploy turkeys to hatch, as they eat very
little, and get fat in their state of con
finement, and therefore fit for the mar
ket any day.”
The extraordinary advantage of this
singular system appear in its cheap
ness—the sitting bird covering nearly
double the number of eggs that we
commonly put under a hen, and at the
same time- getting fat for market in
stead of famishing in the process; in
the uninterrupted.succession of chick
