Poor Human nature I
Tho Savage all lie publican iwwimt^iii ad
miration by its sodden conversion to the caose
of retrenchment! When the Governor’s Pro-
clsmetions were pokiished in that paper, and
were sptead oat to fill space, vs heard little or
nothing of Executive extravagance. Bot now
that the boot is on tbs other foot, it bowls
about economy, and lectures the executive in
a spirit that is highly commendable for its
self-abnegation! Sam Slick vaa right when he
declared:
“ There’s a heap o’ human nater in man!
A Sage Opinion!
Tbs opinion of “Argus” alias "J. P. H.
the Constitution, that, "the election
Blodgett will be declared iUegaT by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, will be accepted
as a rare specimen of legal lore; especially
when we remember that the term for which
Mr. B. was elected, does not begin with the
present session of Congress, and consequently
that ha will .not bo an applicant for his sest
unta next year, and that the pretent Judiciary
Committee will then have no existenoe!
Is It IVhtie or Mixed I
The following, from ibe Mobile Register, is
rather a savage hit at Ihe Bryant Democracy
of this 8tate:
Whosoever by any means, direct or indirect,
contributes to divide the Democratic party of
the country, which is the only organized
whits party having its ramifications in every
Stats from the Atlantic to the Pacific oeeens.
does thereby contribute to the perpetuation
of Radical rule end ruin at Washington, and
of Radical despotism over the Stales of tho
South.
•'The only organized while party” may bo
a matter of opinion, since in Iowa and Illinois
the Democracy gave a tender-footed endorser
ment of the XVth Amendment; and in Missis
sippi they actually nominated a colored man
for a county oflSoe I Whilst in Georgia, the
Bryant Democracy made a lusty bid for a col
ored United States Senator I
Senator Lewi, on Georgia.
In a letter to a Georgian, Senator Lewis, of
Virginia says : “The only information I have
is gleaned from the newspapers, and if their
statements be correct, I fear Georgia has aeled
badly—that is, she has not acted in entire
good faith with the country. This is the
opinion of Ibe President, who hss certainly
acted very leniently, and who ardently desires
peace and harmony throughout the entire
country. Bot for the troubles in your State,
Virginia would have bean admitted, without
oonditior-, during the first days of the
session.’ Piehmemd Enquirer, 3d.
Mr. Lewis is the trooly toil Virginia gentle
man who voted to seat the Choctaw Bevels ss
• Senator from Mississippi. Wa deny that
Georgia hss acted in bad faith, the great
Lewis to theoountrary notwithstanding.—Au
gusta Constilutionaliet
Von did not fail however, when Mr. Lewis
was elected, to announce it as “another
Democratic victory 1”
The letter above referred to was addressed
to J. O. Harris,Esq.,of this city, and waa pub-
i ishedin tba Era three weeks ago.
Political Trading.
Tbs expulsion of Wbiltemore must be ac
cepted as one of those spasmodic efforts at
righteousness that occasionally sprouts out in
publie assemblies. Thera bare not been
within the last thirty years scarcely twenty
members of Congress who have not made ca
det appointments on tbe ground of political
service rendered by the father or tbe friends
of tbe youth appointed. Speaking of this
subject the New York Herald says: “Looking
over the appointments that we remember to
have been made in this State daring the last
twenty-five years, we confidently believe there
are not five instances where boys obtained
their appointments for any other reason than
becanss of political services rendered. Jones
waa instrumental in nominating Brown for
Congress. Jonea subscribed $250 to Brown's
election. How can Brown “go back” on
Jonea 7 ' Of eourso Jones' boy is appointed to
a cadetship at West Point. This may not be
looked upon ss selling tbe office, bat it is as
near it as anything can be. Congressman sell
themselves every year in this way.”
These things have been done for years, by
both political patties; sod whilst the practice
can not be justified by tbe rule of strict mor
ality—such ss thst set up by Cicero sod the
Roman Senators—tbe expulsion of Whitte-
mora becomes somewhat farcical, unless it
is to precede the abolition of all political
trading, and thereby prepare tbe public mind
for the miUeuium I
The Alabama “ Democracy,"
y.iLo the party of tbe same name in Georgia,
has two wings or factious, but they both agree
in the following propositions, to-wit:
First, Thst negro eoffiage ie an inexorable
fact, and moat be so faced and treated.
Second, Tbst it would not remain a tact for
five minutes, if we hid tbe power to change
it; and , ,,
Third, That, if tbe time should ever come
when it would be in our power to extirpate
this great crime against liberty, freo govern
ment and tba purity and intelligence of tbe
ballot, we should be under no obligations,
moral or legal, to refrain from tbe use of the
power.
This is the declaration of principles by tbe
Alabama Democracy, and which, according to
the Mobile Register, “all Democrats” can
besrtily endorse. And yet, a little farther ou
tbe same paper says:
This statement of the case leaves nothing
bat tba question of policy as to tho methods of
utilizing the negro vote. No practical man
will deny tbe right and the expediency of eve
ry honorable effort to control, for onr own pro
tection, this negro suffrage club which onr
enemiee have seized to break our heads with
al. We ars in favor of doing this, and intend,
by every proper means, to do it.
Hare is, indeed, a most ridiculous attitude
for any well informed politician to taka. They
tell the negro plainly, that they would deprive
him of tbe ballot if they could; and then, in
the next breath,-asks the negro to vote with
them, in order to insure bis own disfranchise
ment! The Bryant Demoeraoy of this State,
though lass honest, is more snbtile; for they
pretend to faTor not only negro suffrage, bat
negro office-holding; upon Ihe condition, how
ever, that their aelf-constitnted leaders ate
provided fori
Immigrants In Tennessee.
The McMinnville New Era of the 2Cthr>f
February says:
Quite a number of immigrants are arriving
at this poiu', in teareh of new homes, from
Northern States. There are, at this writing,
as many as nine families at tbe Warren House.
And they report a heavy prospective immigra
tion the coming season. All are delighted
with our floe climate.
The editors of Ohio country newspapers, in

TIic Djuiboti vs. Che TXushtoan Dtmtky
racy—‘‘The Bailor*: Government,
Said a Democrat of tbo t school, a few
days ago: “Tlure (s one thing connected
with tbe history of lie contraction in Georgia
which I cannot qoite understand.”
“And what is that''" asked a bystander.
“It is the fast that the present leaders (or
assumed leaders) of the party in Georgia, ac
quiesced in and supported tbe illegal govern
ment established in virtue of Andy Johnson’,
bold and shameless violation of tbe Uonstitn
lion; and yet they never weary of fighting the
Government act up in virtue of the Congres
sional enactments."
"I suppose," qooth ibe other, that it is be
cause the Jenkins government represented
Democratic principles, whereas tbe Bullock
government represents Radical principles.’
“ That does not aeem to effect tbe legal sta
tus of tbe two governments,” responded onr
Democratic friend. “The fact that Congress,
by a two-thirds vote, imposed negro suffrage
and tba XlYth Amendment as conditions to
restoration, does not legalize the action of
Mr. Johnson in assuming dictatorial powers,
and in forcing a government upon the people
of Georgia, which waa sanction ad as little by
the Constitution and laws of the United States,
as it waa bv tbe approval of the National Leg
islature, or even by tba people themselves, who
were the victims of his usurpation.”
“Then you think the Johnson-Jenkins
government was as informal and illegal aa is
the present Radical government ?"
even more so,” replied our Bourbon friend;
“because Congress, if it correctly represented
tbe conqueror, certainly bad the odor of right
to dietate terms to the conquered.’’
“Hod not Mr. Johnson some such right, as
the Executive bend of tbe nation V
“That is theissneifi controversy," quoth
the Bourbon.” The Constitution of the United
States vesta the treaty-making power in Con
gress; and, under the plain provisions of that
Constitution, Mr. Johnson violated his oath
of offiee ss an executive officer,when heonder
took the work of legislation, and when he
assayed to make treaties with the conquered
provinces of the Sooth.”
“And what did Congress do when it under
took to make treaties, and establish govern
ments against the protest of the President 7”
“It simply exereised its prerogative aa the
lawing-makinf power, under that provieiom ot
the Oomtitntion which makes a two-thirds
vote of Congress the law of tba land, even
against the President's veto.”
“Then do you, as a Democrat, presume to
say that the Bullock Government is legal?"
“I was not discussing tbe legality of tbe
present State Government. Ormnt, for the
cake of argument, that it is wholly illegal;
tbst fact does not make Ihe government of
1865 sod 1866 legal; and, until the Democ
racy ore prepared to defend the Johnson gov
ernment on the plain issue of the law, I am
at much loss to comprehend their partisan de
fense of a measure which certainly never met
the approval of the Southern people.'
“Neither did negro suffrage and tbe XlYth
Amendment meet the approval of the true
men of the Sooth,” pat in a young diaeipieof
the “unterrified.”
“Certainly not” responded the Bourbon,
opposed both; and it waa because I thought
this a white man’s government, that I fought
four years in the Confederate army. We how
ever lost the fight; and in sarrooderiug our
arms, we practically surrendered the politi.
cal issue which led to the conflict. Had wa
bean in n condition to dictate terms, ve would
never have surrendered- We gave up only
because we were fairly beaten; and tbs act of
surrender waa bat a formal
nition of the right of the Federal
government, under tho precedent and
practice of nations, io impose its own terms.
The question at issue in 1865 6 was, Who was
authorised ty tbe conqueror to dietate terms 7
The Constitution delegates that power to Con
greos; and, by a two-thirds vote of that body,
we were placed under ihe necessity of accept
ing negro suffrage. The present Constitution
and Government of Georgia ia not anch as I
would like to see established; and yet 1 cannot
deny the fact that, by tba law of uatiana,
whereby the conqueror alone is competent to
dictate terms; and by tbe Constitution of tbe
United States, whereby Congress alone is
competent to make treaties and perform other
legialative functions neetssury to tbe admis
sion of States to the Uuion, the present as a
legally organ-x d Government,”
“Bot, granting your premises, why do
yon assume that Congress oorraetly represents
the will of the conqueror?"
“Simply beeanso the question of Recon
struction, as indicated ia the 'Sherman bill,”
was mods tbe leading iacua of tba Prosiden
tial election in 1868; and tbe American people
ratified the action of Congress, and tasks its
policy of reconstraction the policy of tbe Gov-
eminent, by a majority unparalleled in the an
nals of popular elections.”
“Then you support the Bullock govern
ment?"
“I do; but only because it is tbe govevem-
meut, legally established—a government
op m accordance with the law of nations and
tbe Federal Constitution—and not because I
approve the policy or endorse the theory
upon which it originated. Asacitizen, I owe
it my unqualified allcgance; whilst as respects
political theories, and qnestions of public pol
icy, I am still a Democrat; and as 1 yielded
my opinions to necessity in 1865, so I yield
by politics to law in 1870."
Thus coded tbe interview; and what can
did man will say that the old Boorbon was not
consistent and sinoere in bis Democracy, or
that be does not correctly represent tbe intel
ligent and substantial men of bis party in
Georgia?

The Last Preposition.
Mr. J. A. Stewart, of Rome Georgia, writes
to the Constitnlion ot this city proposing the
organization of “A Douglass Democracy” in
this State! ' Mr. Stewart wants a State Con
vention called for this purpose, to meet in
Atlanta on tbe 15th of May next.
As squatter sovereignty was the distinctive
feature ot the “Douglass Democracy,” wa
presume Mr. Stew art favors its first cousin in
Georgia, known as “Carpet-bag Sovereignty!’
Mr. Doaplsas was also in favor of allowing
every man a voice in the local governmanb
irrespective of who his grandfather might be;
and as this is a feature of Republicanism, per
baps Mr. Stewart can indnoe bis followers to
adopt the entire Republican platform trader
the euphoniona name of Democracy!
We do not remember at wbat particular
period Mr. Stewart become enamored of the
baptismal name bepropo.es; bat aa arose by
another name would smell as sweet, there
shoald be no serious objection to the adoption
of Republican principles and platforms under
aneb names as tbe fastideons may designate!
The Administration and Economy,
Speaker Blaine has written a letter, showing
that the expenditures under Gen. Grant's ad
ministration so far have actually been leas
by sixty millions than tor tbe same length of
iimo under Mr. Johnson, and timber, that the
revenue has been more faithfully collected by
twenty-six million dollars, from fewer source*
oi taxation, than nnder Johnson.
Nevertbless, in view of all the facts—which
they cannot dispute—the rotton Democracy
is ever prating about tbe “extravagance of
Radical rule” and the “economy of a Demo
cratic Administration.” They seem to act upon
tba old Looofoco idea Ufat “a lie well slack
Io, is as good as the troth!”

Pilin’ OP THE GEORGIA
THE ATLANTA INTELLIGENCE!! (I EM. )
Speaking or the admission of Bevels.to his
scat in the U. S. Senate says:
- Believing that the patty in power was not
sincere,' the. election of negroes from the --
South has often been urged hy Democrats and
Demoerattopnpersin every Southern State.
We bare steadily declined every proposition,
and will, to the end continue to do so. This,
we shall ever contend, is a white man’s gov
ernment—so constituted in its begining, and
nothwitbstanding the present innovation, will
it become again, if tho white race inhabiting
tho country will be true to itself, and contend
for that supremacy over all other races which
it waa endowed by its Creator? But the Re
publican party, all will now see, is in earnest
in its declarations to maintain the doctrine of
negro eligibility to offioe, and even go
further, to maintain his social equal
ity. Events, as they have trans
pired, prove this to be so. The election of
negroes, therefore, to the national council
from the South, “-to spite that party” will sig
nally foil of the intent, and we hope to hear
no more such counsel, ■ or folly, as coming
from Southern Democrats. As in all else of
a political character regarding the South, we
long since became convinced that the Repub
lican party was terribly and unscrupulously
in earnest in wbat they proposed to do with
the Southern States. Democratic leaders,
however, did not, or would not, realize the
“situation,” and democratic papers in many
quarters Mill persevere in efforts that prove
them to be in the same condition.
The Intelligencer continues its] remarks as
follows:
Narrow Escape,
On Thursday of last weak, as the ears on
the Cincinnati, Cumberland (Tenn.) Gap and
Charleston Railroad approached Ibe deep cm
between Morristown and Lead rule, a man waa
observed running excitedly toward the read,
waving his hat The engineer whistled
“down brakes,” and stopped as soou as be
could, for the train was on a down grade and
going at a frigbtful speed. He found that an
immense slate rode bad slidden on to tbe
track, and must inevitably have wrecked the
whole train hot for the timely warning. The
name of the gentleman who signalled the
train was Mr. Wise, and he deserves, at least,
a free pass the rest of bis life over tbe road.
The unitary Academy and Cadetships,
The recent cadet sales have provoked a
measure ia Congress (introuced by Senator
Spencer, of Alabama.) enquiring into the ex
pediency of abolishing the West Point Mili
tary Academy. Tbe Senator waaonoo an officer
of the volunteers, and ha appears to cherish
all the envy and hatred of that institution,
common to so many who wore epaulettes with
1 out having the benefits of a military edueation.
It ia scarcely charitable to affect to despise in
others tba privileges which wa fail to eojoy
ourselves, and the hostility which is founded
upon prejudice can never oommaud itself to
the judgment of dispassionate men.
A Cariosity la Washington.
A Washington letter, of the 21th, says:
"They have got a curiosity is the Navy Yard
ward, of this city. It is a ;man who, when
brought before a Justice of the Peace, this
morning, for violating the city ordinance, pot
in a plea ihat he is not amenable to tbe laws
of the Unity] States, tor the reason that he
is a paroled soldier of the Confederate States,
and does not wish to be considered a citizen
of tbe United States. The Jnstice couldn’t
see tbe thing in this light, and fined ths fel
low five dollars, which some of his friends
paid.”
“Court*,y."
The negroes working on the Georgia Road
are forced to take the Atlanta Eha, nnder
penalty of losing their situations.
This is one of lbs ■'courteous” paragraphs
started by our “courteous” neighbor, the Can-
Miration; a paper which, although it assays to
lecture upon “courtesy,” is itself as destitute
of “oourtesy” as the above paragraph ia desti
tute of truth.
The idea ol such a paper talking'about
“courtesy'' and “fairness!” Impudence hath
no greater pretensions.
Fate or the CoJIeu B1IL
The defeat of the House bill to prevent
and punish polygamy is not- improbable. In
that event, it will be a felony still for a man
to have tiro or more wives, exoept in tbe
territory of Utah; in that plaoa ha may violate
the law with impunity. Encouraged by this,
we ajronld not be surprised if some “religious'
society did not ehampion Kleptomanico and
render petit larceny an article of their re
ligious faith.
The “New” Democracy.
The Democratic State Convention of Con-
nectieut have just past a aeries of denoncia-
lory resolutions against tbe fifteenth amend
ment — declaring, among other preadamite
opinions, that it ia tbe deadliest blow ever
struck at our American liberties. Tbe fossils
of t>~t defunct party are still weeping over the
ruins of Carthage, and refuse to be comforted 1

It is related aa a very “big thing” that the
members of both branches of the California
Legialature, on the 10th instant, took eogni
zones of numerous cases of native ebampagne
brandy and other liquors, produced in Natoma
Talley, and “thoroughly tested the same.”
The Legislature of California being Demo-
cratic, there ia certainly nothing very new or
interesting in this transaction!

Cincinnati Gazette, soys:
Tbe House Military Committee was in ses
sion till adjournment, to-day. Tbe case ot
Col. Asper, of Mo., and a member of tbe com
mittee, is exactly this: Butler and Wbittte-
more both charged, yesterday, that one of the
witnesses had been discharged, when tbe
committee knew he had papers in his pocket
implicating one of his own members Tbe
moment the debate closed, Butler and Whit-
temore found it necessary to visit the commit
tee room, and explain. Whittetnore knew
nothing, but bad heard somethiug. Butler
said the eharge related to letters which had
passed between London and Colonel Asper.
Thereupon the papers were shown Butler, and
after examination he professed himself per
fectly satisfied that the charges be bad made
were unfounded. The facta were these ; It
seemed London was at Annapolis duriog the
examination last year, in bis capacity of
broker, and that be wrote to Cplonel Asper,
whom he bad never met, raying that the cadet
be had appointed had failed, and asking that
a fine lad be had might receive a nomination.
Asper replied that he had some other young
men in mind, but if they failed he would con-

Ena's subscribers can testify.
THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN (DEAL)
Hopes that Congress will we to it that all
avennes to future trouble and delay on the
reconstruction matter are closed up and the
work completed and done with. And then,
as if in contradiction of its own words, tfi*
same paper proceeds to say:
Bullock's idea is, we learn, that tho terms of
both have just begun—that he is to serve four
years longer and the Legislature two, while he
is retired trader the law ia 1872, and tbe Leg
islature at the close of the present session.
The whole object of tbe game is to prevent
the people of Georgia from hiving any voice
in their own government, the Radicals know
ing well that they would, in a fair election,
be defeated in nearly every county in the
State.
And what may have been the object of the
Democratic leaders in seeking, first, to prevenf
interference by Congress looking to the per
fection of reconstruction; and,'secondly, their
efforts to defeat the will of Congress in ths orf_
eanis*tioa of the House ? Was it not to kw
themselves in power.

SAVANNAH.
A shooting affair occurred on the wharf of
the Charleston and Florida line of steamers
yesterdsy, just previous to the departure of
the (learner Dictator for Charleston, in which
Mr. Jas. Gleason, the clerk in the warehouse,
received a severe wound in the left leg from s
pistol, shot from the bends of the freight clerk
on board the steamer, Mr. A. N. MeNeity. The
only facts we could ascertain in relation to Ute
matter from disinterested parties are. that a
dispute arose between the two gentlemen in
relation to some private matter, when bard
words were bandied, which resalted in Mr.
McNelty drawing his pistol. Mr. Gleason
rushed at him and seized the pistol hand, en
deavoring to get it away, and in thesonffle the
pistol was discharged, inflicting a wound aa
above stated. The wound, though severe and
of a serious nature, is not necessarily danger

MINNIE SHXBMAir.
Miss Minnie Sherman enjoys society very
>ueb, indeed, albeit she bus the credit of be
ing somewhat impassive. She. is pleasing in
her appearance, and is more of the blonde
than of the brunette order. Her face is by
some called “coldly intellectual, by others,
“statuesque.” But her quiet manner is more
to bo attributed to her hiving been an inva
lid for some time than to any intentional rc-

jured that for a long timo there was no hope
'. It is not quite a year since
for her recovery,
she was first ublo to go into society; and she
foand it so pleasant then thst at tho first of
this winter she declared her intention to ac-
cept every invitation sent, even at the rate of
four or five every evening.
A story has gone the rounds that she de
clined dancing with tbe Prince, on the score
of a previous engagement, but that is not
true, for she did dance with him. With re-
gard to the locket Prince Arthur sent her, it
wss sent as a delicate mode of returning Gener
al Sherman's generosity in presenting H. R.
U. with a very handsome rifle. It contains his
own pietnre bot not his mother’s.
There is never any dancing at the Sherman
receptions. Mrs. Sherman disapproves very
decidedly of the round dances, and nover
permits her daughter to dance them.
MBS. SPRAGUE.
Two or three years ago, no sketch oi Wash
ington society would nave been complete
without giving to Mrs. Sprague n prominent
place in tl e foreground. For several winters
her Saturday rooeptions, which were always
matinees dansantes, were the handsomest as
well as the most eharming of the weekly at
tractions. Of late she baa passed very little
ot her Time in Wasningttra, ard when here
has entertained bnt seldom, having given her
self np in great measure to her maternal du
ties. Thus far this season an elegant dinner
shff a musical e, to which last a very few were
invited, have been theonly occasions on which
her house has been open to her friends.
Much has been said of tba beanty of this lady,
her grace, and her superb dressing, and what
bus been said has been but little exaggerated.
Mrs. Sprague has flue eyes, a well shaped bead,
aud a graceful figure, though perhaps she is a
trifle too slander. All these advantages show
better as belonging to Mrs. Sprague, arrayed
ia costly costumes, than they ever did when
Miss Kate Chase appeared in very ordinary
TBU in dress of this lady has materia#,
ly unproved of late years. She no longer
wears a huge diamond ornament on the top of
her bonuet, as the did in.the winter of 1865.
Indeed her dress is more noted now for the
sake of the well-known taste of the wearer
then the wearer ia commented upon for the
display made by her dress. Mrs. Sprague
has a bright intellect and a good deal of dip-
lomatio capacity. She is a devoted daughter
and a careful wife. A story is told of her at a
state dinner at the White House in the early
part of Mr. Johnson's admioistrstiou, which
shows her disposition to exercise a wliolo-
sorao influence over the husband of whom
she has never appeared proud. Senator
Sprague's seat at this diunar was between
Mrs. Stover and Mrs. Dixon. His wife's
waa on tbe same side of tbo table, a few
seats beyond. At that time Mr Spra gue was
not, by any means a temperate man, and he
partook so freely of wine that one of bis
neighbors, seeing him streteb out his bend to
replenish his glass ouoe more, raid gently, “I
would not take any more if I were you;” while
the other said, “There are a pair of brigbteyes
looking at you." “D— them!” exclaimed the
excited man, “they can't see me!” and refilled
bis glass as he spoke. Bat instantly tbe own
er of the bright eyes in question, radiant in
pink and satin, point lace, diamonds, leaning
forward and fixing the keen eyes on her hus
band, add earnestly: “Yes they can see yoa,
and they ere heartily ashamed of you.”
Miss Chase. j
§ ~ Miss Nettie Chase is, jrataH^more univer
sally liked than her mors tuyigat) roster. She
is not only a young lady^BBBed for her
stylish'appearance and e&^Wtmw, bat
more for her mental acquirements. She hss
great taste and ability as an artist, and ot her
drawings a gentleman who is permitted the
privileges of her portefeuiUe ssya : “Some of
her productions are really miracles of their
kind, bringing up blatantly and vividly both
Cruiksbank and Hogarth, of neither of whom
is she a copyist.”
The Chief Justice has taken a bouse this
winter, and no longer shares that of his eldest
daughter. Miss Chase does the honors of her
father's house with much grace, and fills her
position with tbe esse usually acquired only
by long experience.
Another of the beauties of whom much has
been said and written is Miss Blanche Butler.
This young lady is one who has the rare ad
vantage of appearing lovelier in her own
home, and when dressed simply, than she
ever does witli'brilliant surroundings. She is
a blonde of a peculiar type, that so seldom
seen, where hazel eyes, made dark by black
lashes, are accompanied by a skin dazzling in
whiteness and purity, a briiliaut color,
and hair which is of tbe famous golden hue,
with a tinge of red joat sufficient to make it
glitter. Miss Butler’s amiability and loveable
disposition are subjects of as much remark os
is her beauty. In particular her friends speak

I have a firm faith that all the great deserts
of the Temperate and Torrid Zones will yet be
reclaimed by irrigation and tree planting. Tbe
bill which Congress did not pass, nor really
consider, whereby it was proposed, some
years since, to give a section of the woodless.
Public lands remote from settlement to every
one, who, in a separate township, would plant
and cherish a quarter-section of choice forest
trees, onght to have been passed—with modi
fications. perhaps, bot preserving the central
idea. Had ten thousand quarter-sections, in
so many different townships of the Plains,
been thus planted to timber ten to twenty
years ago, and protected from fire and devas
tation till now, the value of those plains for
settlement wonld have been neerly or quite
doubled.
A capital mistake, it seems to me, is being
made by some of the dairy farmers of onr
own State. One who has a hundred, sores of
good soil, whereof twenty or thirty are wood
ed, cuts off his timber entirely, calculating
that tbe additional grass that he may grow in
its stead will pay for all the ooal he needs for
fnel, so that he will make a net gain cf the time
he has hitherto devoted each winter to catting
and bunting wood. He does not consider
how meeh his soil will lose in summer moist
ure, how his springs and innncts will be dried
up, nur how tho sweep of harsh winds will be
intensified, by baring his hilltops and ravines
to sun and breeze so ntterly. In my delib
erate judgment, a farm of one hundred acres
will yield more feed with far greater uniformity
of product from year to year, if twenty acres
of its ridge-crests, tavino-sides and rocky
places, are thiekly covered with timber, than if
it be swept clean of trees and all devoted to
grass. Hence, I insist that the farmer
who sweeps off his wood and resolves to
depend on coal for fuel, hoping to increase
permanently tbe prod act of his dairy, makes
a sad miscalculation.
Spain, Italy, and portions of France, are
now suffering from the improvidence that de
voured their forests, leaving the future to take
care of itself, I presume that the greet em
pires of antiquity suffered from the same fol
ly, though to a much greater extent. Tbe
remains of cow extinct races who formerly
peopled and tilled tho central valleys of this
continent, and especially the territory of Ari
zona' probably bear witness to a similar reck
lessness, which is paralleled by onr fathers,
and our own extermination of the magnificent
forests oi wbite pine which, barely a century
ago, covered so large a portion of the soil _ of
our Northern States. Vermont sold white pine
abundantly to England through Canada with
in my dry ; she is now supplying her own
wants from Canada at a.ooat of not less than
five times tbo price she sold for; and she will
be paying still higher rates before the elose of

From the N. Y. Tribune. 1
lam not at all sentimental—much loss
spooney—regarding the destruction of trees.
Descended from several generations of timber
cutters (for my paternal ancestors came to
America in 1610) and myself engaged for
three years in land-clearing, I realise that
trees exist for use rather than for ornament,
and have no scrapie as to ontting timber in
a forest as to cutting grate in a meadow. Util
ity is the reason and end of alt vegetable
growth—of a hickory's no less than a earn-
stalk’s I have always considered “Woodman,
Spare that Tree,” just about tbe most mawkish
bit of badly versified prose in oar language,
aud never could guess how it should touch the
sensibilities of any one. Understand, then,
that I urge the planting of trees mainly be-
cease I believe it will pay, and tbe preserva
tion, improvement, and extension of forests
for precisely that reason.
Yet I am not insensible to the beanty and
grace lent by woods and groves, and clamps,
or raws of trees, to the landscape they di
versify. I feel the force of Emerson’s aver
ment, that “Beauty is its own exease for be
ing, "and know thmts homestead embowered in.
belted by, atqtely, graceful elms, maples, and
evergreens,is really worth more end will sell for
more than if it were naked field and meadow. I
consider it one positive advantage (to balance
many disadvantages) of onr rocky, hilly, ragged
Eastern country, that it will never, in all prob
ability, be so denuded of forests as tba rich,
facile prairies and swalei of the great Valley
maybe. Our winds are lea pienuog, onr tor
nadoes less deatraetive ihan thoae cf eha Great
Weal. I doubt whether there ia another equal
area of the earth’s surface whereon so many
kinds of valuable trees grow spontaneously
and rapidiy. defyiog eradication, as through
. paenffieOw
out New England and on either slope of
Alleghenies, and this profusion of timber and
foliage may well atone for, or may be fairly
weighed against many deficiencies and draw-
backs. The Yankee who bas been accustomed
to see trees spring up spontaneously wherever
they were not kept down by ex. or plow, or
scytbe, and to cross running water every bap
uule of a summer day's journey, may well bo
made home-sick by two thousand mites of na
ked, dusty, wind-swept plains, whereon be
.t here none now exist. A prominent citizen
ward from
ect high is affixed, by means of a univer
sal joint, another polo 50 feet long, run
ning {ffirallel with' the ground. A grad
uated scale with weight is at one end, and
at the othet'tbwdlyer who is to be induct
ed into the mistery of the art stands.
The polo swings around, undulating np
and down, the weigh' having been ad-
jnsted to the weight ot the learner, and
ns the learner gains mure confidence, tho
weight is gradually lessened, until at
length no counterbalancing weight exists.

Mrs. E. A. Call contributes to the
Country Gentleman the following vain-
able suggestions in regard to bread-mak
ing:
Watkb-Kisino Bread.'—In tho after
noon, after tea, I take a quart bowl and
spoon; after they have been well scalded,
one pint of hot water is poured into the
bowl from the tea-ketllo. Then add one
teaspoonfnl of white sugar, three-fourths
of salt, and a piece of batter os big as a
walnut—tho butter mast be good.
Thicken with floar; stir as thick as for
pancakes; beat well. I now do np the
bowl in a table-cloth, and set it on the
table in the cook room; throw over it any
thing that comes handy; for instance, the
ironing Bheet, a flannel sheet or two, a
pillow, cushion—anything that will keep
the warmth in. In the morning, if not
light, worm them up and add a little soda
fua<2 more HOUr, it neooaauty. It trill rioo
in a short time.
So much for the emptyings. Now for
the bread. In order to make three com
mon sized loaves, pare and wash and boil
six good sized potatoes. When done,
mosn them well, and sift them through a
seivo or calendar into a large tin-pan
Now add three pints of boiling water and
one pint of cold water. Stir in immedi
ately sifted flour to make a sponge, cover
the top with dry flour, and set it in a
warm place, ana let it rise until quite
light. Knead the flour until yon have a
stiff dough; mould it well, form it into
loaves, set them in a warm place, and
again let them rise. When sufficiently
light, have the oven hot enough to bake
the bread without. scorching in the least,
in thirty-five or forty minutes.
Graham Bread.—In tho first place,
have the wheat gro'und and not bolted,
and make the bread in the following way:
Take 1 quart of sour or buttermilk; 1 tea
spoonful of soda; 1 tablespoonful of su
gar, and stir in Graham flour to make a
batter as thick as pound cake. A little
salt should be added; sfit' well and bake
in small tins or a loaf a3 best suits the
convenience. It should be baked in a
quick oven; if in a loaf, forty minutes,
but great care should be taken not to
scorch or bnrn, as this kind of bread
burns sooner than bread made of bolted
floor.
Graham Pudding.—Into boiling water,
with a trifle of salt, stir Graham flonr
until as thick ss hasty pudding; stir con
stantly, and let it boil five minutes. Serve
with syrup, batter aud sugar, sweetened
cream, or anything to suit the- taste.
When, cold, cut in slices and fry a nice
brown, on a griddle or in the spider, with
a little batter, and serve os above. It is
a quick and palatable dessert for dinner
or breakfast.
AERIAL NAVIGATION.
A Weir Machine—The Laiur or m Poor
Man’s Life-Uotv It W orkK-What ft Is
ICxpectcd to JDo.
Front Ute New York World, y
In a basement oyster saloon, at the
corner of Sixth avenue and Ninth street,
an old man, named Robert Hardley, last
nigh! explained to about a dozen auditors
a system of aerial navigation by manual
labor, which he claims ia the only practi
cal one. Mr, Hardley left England in
1848, and has sinoe continued his experi
ments with regard to aerial navigation.
In 1845 he published a pamphlet on the
subject, in London, which created some
exoitement in aoientifle circles at the
time. Mr. Hardley’s idea corresponds
slightly with that of Mr. Henson, which
was exploded in London about 184G. - It
consists of a pair of wings framed of silk
nnd whalebone, which are affixo . to the
shonlders and arms of the wearer by
stays. Levers connect both feet with the
wings at the back of the body, and the
elbows by the arms. Thus, when one
fopt is moved, the lever at the back raises
the wiugs, and tho lever attached to the
elbow draws them, down again, gaining
power froni the double action of legs nnd
amis. A parachute, moveable and con
trollable bv the head, is affixed to the
shoulders. ‘ Mr. Hardley contends that
tho great principle in aerial navigation is
not the mero fact of flying through tho
aii, but the proper way ot beginning to
do so. “Balloons are exploded,” to use
his own words, “for they cannot sail
againstthe wind.” He hopes to sail with
Bods no water for fifty’ to* a hundred miee, lor against , the wind with his machine,
aud knows it impossible to ent an ax-helve. The medium of starting he propores to
much more #n axle-tree, in the conns- of a have is an inclined plane. The fly or
wearying jonruey. No Eastern farmer ever, start from this inclined plane imitates the

celient wood and water until be had wandered latmi, up a nd down in the air, travels

No ona may yet be able to fully explain tbe reacU ^ u, e ground. Anew leaturo con-

where none are now found, and that springs as the ‘Aerial Iustrootor, or Endltssln-
ttud Btreims were then frequent and abiding clmod Plano. To an upright post 20
of the flying machine proper, the cost of
which, Mr. Hardley states, wonld bo
about 8500. Mr. Hardley expects, with
the aid of some capitalists, to bring his
invention to a practical trial in a short
space of time.

PLAYING HANGING.
Fatal Practical Jokt by a Negro lloy.
From the Baltimare Ouette, Feb. IA)
About eleven o'clock yesterday morn
ing a negro boy named William Cook,
about eleven years of age, employed as a
driver by Mr. Cox, on Carey street, near
Platt, while playing with two boys
younger than himself in the loft over Mr.
Cox’s stable, proposed to “play hanging,”
and, getting upon a pile of hay, put one
end of a rope around Iris neck and at
tached the other to a rafter. The two
boys, one of whom was a negro, remained
a short time interested spectators, but
unfortunately one of them proposed to go
out oh the street and play, which they
did, leaving Cook in the stable loft.
Some time afterwards the boys returned
to the loft and found Cook still hanging,
and on an examination he was found to
be lifeless The negro boy had the pres
enoe of mind to cut down the body at
once, and the other gave the alarm. As
sistance soon arrivod, bnt no aid could
bo rendered. It is supposed that while
engaged in his dangerous game the boy’s
feet slipped off the hay, and he was im
mediately strangled. Sir. R. Wilson Carr,
City Coroner, held an inquest on tbe
' ’ and a verdict of death from occi-
body,
denial hanging waa returned in accord-
anco with the facts given above.

This day weak the famous divorce case of
Mordaunt vs. Uoidaunt will commence. The
plaintiff ia a baronet. Sir Charles Mordahnt,
who seeks a divorce from his wife on the plea
of adoltiy. The outline of the story is that,
when Lady Mordannt was oonfined of her first
child, she confessed to the wife of a clergyman
who wss with her that she had broken the
Seventh Commandment, not only with one,
bnt with about Six different individuals. Her
friends say that Lady Mordannt was insane
when she made that confession; ber enemies
say aha was not. Whether aa a needful pro-
osai jon, or whether to give a coloring to her
defense, ( know not, but she has ceijainly for
some months been ths inmate of a private
luuatio asylum. Sir Charles, although sent
for and urged by Her Majesty, the Queen, not
to bring about that great scandal, presists in
carrying the matter through, even to the bit
ter end, and tbe trial is to go on. It will oost,
no matter which will carry ths day, a not
