If honest, indns- boos men are to be proscribed on account of opinion's sake, then we most confess there is little meaning in onr boasted motto of “Free dom.” If the State Road is to he managed and worked hy Democrats -alone, then it cannot be the property of the State—bnt Herschei V. Johnson bolds it in trust for the Democratic party. If Gov. Johnson is to be allowed the privilege of creating new offices, and filling them with “those of his own choice,” then there is no necessity for a Legislature.' If Gov. Johnson is to he allowed to discriminate between bis friends and those who choose to differ with him in politics, in passing freights over the State Bond, then there is no use in establishing the "rates of-freight*,” except to those who are not “influential Democrats.’ ’If Gov.

Take about, a quarter of a yard sqtfare of good fino flannel, and tie it firmly over the mouth of the hydrant spout, leaving a small tack or bag, of tbe site of a goose rgg, in tbe centre of the flannell. -The writer hds fixed bis hydrant in this way, nnd it proves perfectly ef fectual; At this time tbe Httlc'Aorse hair snake or eel is very abundant In all the streams and pools of water, and frequently'makes its appear ance In tbe hydrant water,- and tho above plan will certainly catch it. Thia little reptile is bg- tleVed to be perfectly harmless. Ttis generally supposed to be produced by holrse haft falling into water. This is of course a ridiculous error. It is like all other organized beings, animal or vegetable, a regular organized animal, propaga- gated by its own kind. Its scientific name is gordius aquations. At the present time, and for a few weeks to pome, it appears nearly white, or like a thread of gloss or. white horsehair, on ly a' little longer.' It is very active, swimming about rapidly. It bas probably just cast off its old skim Ta a week or two'it will be dark brown or neatly black, somewhat like a piece of .dark colored horse hair, from two. or "three to five or eix ineber long. I have had several of these reptiles bronght to me-iately, and many enqui ries made respecting them.' Tbe above plan will effectually prevent their being swallowed. All pools and streams of water in the Middle nnd Southern States are equally inhabited by them. ' - vreek a political meeting of .
