become cavern of judicial murders and
mere Instrumentalities or parly feeling

before them an appropriation bill for the mpport
of the lcglnlalive, executive slid Judicial branches

HiFkell aa.erled that he wouid have voted to
lay uio bill on the table If he had supposed tho

Knnmel moved to amend by making the weight

amineurtmeut,
tiprliiger opposed the imcndmeiit on Iho ground
principally that Ihe bonded debt of Ihe country
could now. without dishonor or repudla

and paymeut of that debt In sliver dollars would
bo a bouuty ol 47U grains of sliver ou each dollar

Consideration was resumed or the legislative,
executive and Judicial appropriation kill.
Ksum speaking on the appropriation bill de
fended his former assertion that this is a confed
eracy of slate War did not chtnge the govern
ment nor abolish slavery. Tbe emancipation
proclamation did not free the slave. It required
the Independent actlou of a certain number of
sovereign slates to work those chsuge In the gov-
rnment of this confederacy of states. Tbe late
struggle wss a war or sections and the present
reckless denunciation or southern men was un
wise and wrong. Let the past bury lu own dead
and go on aa brothers
Eaton said he now believed that Webster never
called this a confederacy of states; butp needed
to tbow that Webster regarded It as such. The
powers of tho constitution were limited by Uie
states that mado the constitution.
Maine wanted to know where the constitution
shows that It wai mado by tho state
Eaton said be would read it presently and all
could see. He would tell bis friends something
more, namely: that the little suteor Connecticut or
tbe little stale or Delaware, baa more power ou one
point in this compact than ail the other slate,
combined, because it is an equal factor and it can
not bo deprived of its representation without Id
own consent, Tbe compact so provides It is true
that this Is technically a nation, but the word na
tional was purposely excluded from the constllu
tlon when proposed in the convention and the word
federal inserted. The geueral government hat no
powers not delegated to it bv the sute. He snoke
of the legislative pait of the bill. Every man, he
said, would ask for a fair and impartial Jury and
according to the obligation or sense, they were
sworn to strike from the statute books the infam
ous and damnable laws which now oorruDled the
Judicial proceedings
conxiiug declared that the late war was not
waged by one section against another, but bv one
section against the union, waged by a fragment or
a party to destroy tbe national life The war hav
ing ended louileen years ago, tbejury iawt could
not all'ect those who were boyt during the war.

any description could be tried bv a lurv or their
complexion aud selection.
baton said that when he save wav for tho sena
tor to ask a question be ought not to make a
speech in tho middle of his own. He (katon)
knew and repeated that In Iho southern states, to
day that honest Jurois are kept out of the Jury box
by Judges, marshals and attorney! who are not
honest men.
Coukllng defended John Davenport, saying that
the eh lei supervisor for the southern district of
New York (liavenport) was a citizen or New York
slate, and if ho violated any saw, was amenable
to punishment the same at any other cltiiou. Vet
In spite of all tho charge against him, no suit had
ever been brought agaiuit him. Many of tho men
prevented from voting on naturalisation papers
have since taken the first step toward becoming
ciliteni. showing Ihe Invalidity of their former
panera. Ho read from reports if 8. 8. Cox's com
mittee. March t 1H77, eulogizing and commending
for Imitation Ihe laws under wmch a perfectly fair
election waa hold In New York in 1S7U. He
thought Eaton would recognize Cox as a good
democrat and his opinion aa valuable.
Voorheei said everyone would concur in (ink
ling's statement that New York could take care of
er b own allulrs; yet that senator had spoken of
corrupt forces preventing fair eleutious lu New
York. He (Vnorheesi dusTred to know why that
state was calumniated here by a statement that her
elections have been a disgrace to civilization aud
dominated by ruihant. Waa she so low and poor
lu political scale that she comes aa an humble sup-
fillant to the federal government, asking that John
lavonport be endowed with imperial powers In
order to secure fair elections '!
Coukllng fjiaid that t-lhli rhetorical out bit
lacked cue quality common on Voorbee' eloquent
speeches, namely originality. This charge agaiust
him (Coukllng) had been made In newspapers,
and at least half a dozen senators had not hesi
tated to pick it up. Kesponslblu to the people who
honored him, when that peoplo was calumniated
by bint, ho would bow in rcpentence before the
authority he was bound to recoguite ; aud he
would not call upon tho senator from Indiana to
fatigue himself by vindicating Uie hnuorof Now
York. New Yoik was ableir she saw fit to punish
all eirendfira against the law within her borders;
but she left certain classes of oil'euces to the Juris
diction of tho United btites Mie was not afraid,
but willing and glad to recognize the naUonal au
thority, bhe left the execution of the re von no
aud customs laws, aud the lawa against counter
felting to lederal government, and so she did tho
cxeculiou ol these election lawa.
Keruau pointed out that the federal election in
IH76 resulted in a democratic victory, aud New
York always went Deniuoratio in a fair election
because the democrat are In the majority there.
New York was ablu to regulate It own election
and preserve tholr purity

sprouts put out from peach or apple trees
they should be removed at once, both for

Keei the runners pinched off the
strawberry plants If you desire a good
crop. The runners sap the life out of the
plant which should go to sustain the
ripening berries. It can be dono by the
thumb and finger, if takon when they
first shootout. Later in the season will
be time enough to leave runners for
sets.
To n.tisu tomato, cabbage, cauliflower
nnd other plants for the garden, fill a box
with alternate layers of old, well-rotted
manure and sandy dirt, mid sow th seed.
Keep it constantly moist by sprink
ling, and cover with window glass or thin
muslin stretched tight. This will give
give plants in a week or ten days, and
they cati be transplanted, a few at a time,
as they are wanted. Cauliflower is a
vegetable that is rarely seen in the
fanner's garden, and yet it is as easy to
raise as tne cabbage, and is one of the
most valuable of vegetables. Sow the
seed precisely as cabbage seed is sown,
and transplant. It may bo necessary, in
some places, to water these plants by
nana, it so, no farmer should be de
terred from planting them on this ac
count, for there is no trouble that will
bring greater profit. It is astonishinc how
many vegetables can be raised on a very
small tract ot ground.
The safest way to graft grape vines is to
cut them off below the level of the
ground, and then with a saw or wide
chisel make an incision in the stump to
receive the scion, which should be sharp
ened to the shape of a wedue and placed
so that the burk will match with the bark
of the stump. Cut the scion down to about
three buds, and bunk up with dirt around
it. Stakes should be driven, and when
the grafts come up tie it to tbe stake.
Ihe stumps which fail to crow crafts
should be dug up, as it is a waste of
money to try them a second time. In
digging up old vines, if they have been
planted by rooting and cuttings first, the
roots can easily be reached with the
grubbing hoe, but if cuttings have been
used thou the lateral roots will be found
about two feet beneath tho surface. In
order to prevent sprouting, they will
have to be taken up below where the
bottom of the cuttinc was. Grams brush
snouid not be piled around the fence cor
ners, Dut ougiir, to be burned at once.
Though green, the canes burn very
readily.
