Extract OF a letter:
LONDON, Nov. 10, 1913.
The Cabinet is at this moment in shaky condition
The failure Of the O'Connell prosecution, which is
now admitted, has caused split that some Of the
knowing ones think will lead to ACKNOWLEDGMENT, The
Duke banes Sir Robert for having delayed active
interference until too late while he on the contrary
asserts that if the Duke had consented the dismiss
sal Of Mr.. Attorney General smyth, which he Sir
Robert proposed at the time of that gentlemans
bguous declaration the education question, all the
~Rgng Of that official would have been avoided,
\nyction ensued However, let the dispute
y may, O'Connell is sure to be the gamer
HAS proved himself better lawyer than the whole
pr of Crown prosecutors, and many Of those who al
rst auded up the policy of the ministry in causing
his arrest, to think it would have been
matter well let alone. Again, Sir Robert adyo-
Gates partial concession to the League. This the
Duke resists. Between the latter and Lord Stanley
there has been almost open rupture, and although
the most strenuous efforts have been made by friends
both sides TO effect reconciliation, nothing of the
kind has as yet been patched up Some recent Colo
NAL appointments were not approved of by Yelling
ton, and in instance he required he party named
to be Dismissed but Lord Stanley absolutely refused
and that in not at all complimentary The we'll
known obstinacy Of 4he old soldier, and the young
statesman, leave little room to hope that either viii
bend, and the only question to speculate is which
Of the two will first resign Iflhe Duke goes, the
Cabinet goes and if Lord ST. why will be moi ouly
resignation, but deserion of his party If he
leaves, it will be to return to his old friends, the

With the election Of The Hon. John wv
Jones, as Speaker Of lhes House of Repre-
senlaIiyes, we think thar there can es1s
no cause OF complaint with any portlon az n,
Democratic party. He IS i gensI51a
enfs, Of agreeable aud most -gvntiemanI
ners, conciifatory IN his course, and gi0
extreme opinions. We do not doubt I'll
dor and perfect fairness, TO oil men of 3llSPsf
ties, will mark his conduct as preceding officer o.
the House. He may be for Mr. Van Buren,, bu
he will be just TO all others, if we do not great
ly deceive ourselves as TO the man. He was in
debted for his election to Congress to The activ-
ity of the friends of the President in his behalf
We are content
The Clerk of the House, Mr.. McNulty, from
Ohio, we have no cause to complain Of While
we frankly confess that we are utterly against
prescription of mere ministerial officers who
conduct themselves properly, and that we in
cline strongly to the belief that Mr.. CLARK was a
perfectly competent officer, if not the most com
petent and best qualified Clerk that we remem-
Der ever to have seen in the Hall of Represen-
tatives, yet Mr.. McNuliy has been known TO us
for some time past, as gentleman of deserved
influence In Ohio, of liberal sentiments, and
genuemanly bearing. He has INDUCED in no
unkipdness towards the President, but the re-
verse. We do not stop TO inquire into his po-
lical Observation-Disclosures he be for or against
Mr.. Van Buren, We do not care, nor do we re-
gard it as a matter Of any moment. He is a
man with whom all parties can associate with
satisfaction.
We wish we could say as much concerning the
Public'Printers. F. P. Blair is well known TO the
country. The warm advocate of Mr.. Claws
election over General Jackson, he Persevered in
that course until the People had resolved TO
make their will supreme in the election of Gen.
Jackson. Mr.. Blair underwent speedily change;
from being the enemy, he became the advocate
Of Gen. Jackson. From being friend of Mr..
Clay he became his biIterest reViler-stole into
Gen. Jackson's confidence, and has become
quartered, until some new change shall occur,
on the Democratic party. He has <1ned6Spd
abused the President continually eng IN
monlhs-denounced the British f4taiyNpro-
nounced all Democrats "renegades" who ac-
cepted office under him-made open war upon
Messrs. Porter, Henshaw and Nelson-and has
added to the coinage of his own brain the most
rabid articles from other journals Such has
been the course Of Francis P. Blair towards the
Administration. The election OF such man
must appear TO be, however il was designed, as
an endorsement of his libes and ISLANDERS on the
Administration. We did not believe for an in
slant that he had been acting under instructions
from any quarter. How are we TO consider il
now? He is. endorsed, and his conduct is APP
proved, by Democratic House of Representa-
tives. Is the President thus TO understand it ?
Is Francis P. Blair the paid stipendiary TO lavish
abuse on the Administration These are preg-
nant questions. The sequel will furnish the
answer.

II will be seen that sum exceeding two millions
and bali is deducted from the appropriations al
ready made, on the ground that II will not be re-
quired to be paid out during the fiscal year Being
actually appropriated by Congress, and liable TO be
used even during the year, and certainly within
short time after its expiration the undersigned has
hestaed to deduct the amount from tbe expenditures
and, although this has been done in conformity with
usage, this explanation is necessary TO prevent mis-
take. Notwithstanding this deduction, il will be
perceived that there will be deficiency Of more than
two millions FIVE hundred thousand dollars To this
deficiency must be added the amount Of such special
appropriations as Congress may make during the pre-
sent session, in addition TO the appropriations for
which estimates are submitted in another report IL
duty also TO remark, that the credit Of the Urea.
sury, the facility Of its operations, and the necessity
Of guarding against unforeseen contingencies, have
usually induced Congress TO make provision for
small surplus. There is nothing in the crcumstan-
ces OF the present year to induce departure from
such provident course, and for that purpose mil
lion and half Of dollars ought be added to the
deficiency above stated The whole amount 10 be
provided for the services OF the present fiscal year

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

We trust that our Representatives will not be
lulled into a fatal supineness, in regard 10
the interests of the UniIcd States, now, in our
opinion, in imminent peril, by the deprecatory
croakings of the editor Of the Inteligencer-
Whatever may be the patriotic intentions OF
that journal we have reason to believe that it is
opposed TO rupture with Great Britain under
almost any circumstances.
The Intelligencer has quoted the N. o. Tro-
pic, a journal of little repute, to prove that
We have no reason 10 be apprehensive of any
hostile interference with our Southern interests.
We now quote an article from the last NEW Or
LEANS BULLETIN, moderate Wing paper, and
one ofihe most respectable journals in America,
which should, we think, attract the instant at
tention of Congress. From the information and
deductions it contains, the threat OF Mexico
made known in the Presidents Message, (o
which the Bulletin knew nolhing) we may i'm.
fer was no idle menace. Mexico would take
no such step, without being supported by polo.
erfl ally. And truly, if the mere discussion
OF the subject of annexation in the Madsonian
produced the threat, we may expect the slight.
est agitation cf il in Congress will produce a
war. Therefore il may be well for members to
be on their guard

LEACHED ASHES.

We have long since been thoroughly ac-
quainted with the extraordinary effect of leach
ell ashes, and are OF the opinion that their fer
tilizing qualities chiefly consist in inpartng to
the soil a capacity to appropriate and dissent
nate more abundantly the fertzing constitu-
ents Of the atmosphere.
In the spring of 1889, we applied three wag-
on loads of leached ashes to five roods of old
meadow land, that had been moved, and occa-
sionally pastuTed for IS years. The crop
which was cut from this meadow the year pre-
vious to the top-dressing of ashes, did not
yield more than one ton Of hay, and that of an
inferior quality; whereas the one that succee-
ded the dressing, yielded upwards of two and a
half tons of the best quality of hay, and the fol-
lowing crop produced nearly like quantity
The influence ofthe single dressing was visible
the two last years. We confidently state THAI
the additional quantity Of hay realized from the
three loads Of leached ashes, equal to so BUSH
els, was not less than three tons. The most
extraordinary effect produced from this exper-
iment, was the action of the ashes on the COM
mon white clover, Indigenous TO the country,
which grew to the height of twelve inches and
apparently as thick as it could stand on the
ground.
We made another experiment with leacbed
ashes which may be worthy of notice, ON a
crop OF ruta baga, which proved not only of
great importance to the plants, but was great
preventive Of injury from the little tormenting
fly, which has been the great bane to success
fu turnin culture in Canada.
BY adopting proper means to renovate soils
which have been exhausted by unskilful cult
walton, they may be brought back to their vir-
gin qualities, and be made the most profitable
lands in cultivation. The two most powerful
agents that are abundantly accessible 10 Cana
da, are gypsum and ashes. The important and
various uses Of these agents will be subjects of
our most constant care and interest to commu-
nicate TO our readers.
In the meantime we beg leave to enforce the
Importance of the subject upon our friends, and
solicit them to procure few loads of ashes,
which they may Obtain from any soap-chand-
Ter in British America, and spread them broad
cast on their meadow or pasture grounds, at
the rate of 20 bushels per acre. The effect pro-
duced will remnnerate them ten-iold for their
trouble, and act to stimulate them to renewed
exertions in making other interesting expert
ments
Leached ashes will be found particularly eff.
ficacious to oats, peas, buckwheat, turnps, DO
tatoes, and the broad-leaved grasses, and in no
case will be found injurious TO other crops.
