Happy Generally.

What good time the so-called Democracy
are having They are so happy and they seem
to enjoy it so heartily, too. The present appa-
rent complacent mood, and the shaking Of
hands and telling Of experiences they are en-
gagged in, and the general rcjoicings every
where makes us almost wish VIC were members
Of the party. The House congratulatcs the
Senate, the Senate the House-Toombs, Clay,
and others, compliment and congratulate the
President and that venerable slanderer and
migrate is so intensely happified he is almost
deprived Of the power of speech. And what
is it for?
Why, they have succeeded in eluding the
vigilance Of the combined opposition, and
palming off another humbug on the country,
to come up in due time to distract and agitate
it.
The Richmond South" says; "In view of
such important consequences, the people OF the
South will accept this settlement of the Kan
sas controversy with unfeigned satisfaction"

sas, thanks to the true Democracy, is out Of
the way at last and something, we hope, may
now be done toward legislating for general
interests"

DOINGS In CONGRESS.

The proceedings of Congress during the
past week. have been Of general and miscel-
laneous nature, and relating chiefly to the
business Of the country The appropriation
bills and other matters have occupied its atten-
ton.
THE SENATE spent some days in the discus
sion of the bill to repeal the Fishing Bounty
law, which finally passed that body.
One Of the Minnesota Senators, Mr.. Rice, was
sworn in and took his seat Gen. Shields, the
other, not being here.
The House has referred the credentials OF
the three members elected from Minnesota
she is only allowed two-to the Committee on
Elections
They were chosen by general ticket whereas
the law requires members to be chosen by dis
tricts.
But the most interesting doings Of the House
were on Thursday in regard to-
THE DooRKEEPER oE THE HOUSE.
Mr.. KUNKEL, Of Maryland, from the Commit
tee on Accounts, submitted report to the effect
that r. B. Hackney, the Doerkeeper of the House,
has employed larger number of persons than he
is allowed-some Of them receiving no compensa-
ton, but depending on the grace and bounty Of
the House. There is (says the report) great
abuse Of the confidence reposed in him, which
cannot be too severely condemned. He has been
admonished, again and again, but still persists in
acting against usage and law, and in open defiance
Of the con troll Of the committee. The report also
shows great abuses in the folding. room-the Door.
keeper making false statements to the House as to
the number of persons authorized to be employed,
and that the economical objects Of the committee
have been frustrated. Instead of 5000, the ex.
penses had been increased to $4,000 or 81, 500 a
month. False returns were made on the books,
making the number Of documents folded during The
months Of February, March, and April, one hun.
dred and ninety.six thousand more than the state
ment Of the Superintendent. The committee say
there are other charges Of malpractice and of a
venal character against Mr.. Hackney but they do
not think proper to report the declarations of his
subordinates, over whom he domineers He is
unworthy Of trust Continues the report,) and il
either entirely incompetent TO perform his duty,
or shows ilful and deliberate purpose to per-
vert and abuse the power with which he is in
vested. The committee therefore report the fol.
lowing resolution
Resoived, That r. b. Hackney, Doorkoeper OF
the present House Of Representatives, be, and is
hereby, dismissed forthwith from that Office.
Mr.. Kunkel moved that the report be printed
and its further consideration postponed until Mon.
day next at ! o'clock.
The motion was ogreed TO.
On motion Of Mr. Nichols, of Ohio, Mr.. Hackney
was authorized to prepare and file his defence, and
that il might be printed.
PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Mr.. Morris, Of Pennsylvsnia, from the Committee
on the District Of Columbia, reported bill to or
gsnize paid FIRE department for the District of
Columbia; and IL was read twice and referred to
he Committee of the Whole.

Thanks are due the Democracy for getting us
into the difficulty, and still greater thanks are
due that organization for making the difficulty
more intricate. Thanks indeed
A man may dig pit and conceal its open
ing, directus so Enthusiastically and particular
~ that we can't miss falling into it, and then
for getting US out and putting us into deeper
and dirtier one, demands thanks, and exacts
pay That's about the position of the people
and the so-called Democracy in reference to
this pretended settlement of the Kansas ques-
ton.
But the South, after battling with heated
zeal and almost unparalleled obstinacy, sud-
denly settles quietly down, and gives express
sion to the following groundless anticipations.
That paper, speaking Of the settlement and
its probable results, says: "We may then an
ticipate period of comparative quiet, during
which the public mind will settle down on the
non-interventon doctrine"
Now, that's rich to come from the intelligent
editor Of the "South" A time Of compare
tive quiet may be anticipated during ohich the
tionl If the public mind has not been settled
down for years en- that doctrine it was never
settled down on any, If it was not disturbed
by Walker in Kansas, under instructions from
the President, we are much deceived; and il
the English bill itself, over which there is SC
much sham glorifcation is not Intervention in
a most odious form, we do not understand Ian.
guage. intervention Is the doctrine which
has long been held by the people, but the par
ty in power, and which got into power on thai
principle, has shamefully violated it, and hence
all our troubles.
This Kansas difficulty was Matched, nursec
and nourished by the so-called Democratic
party. 1t has absorbed fire months of the time
Congress has been in session, and which has
been spent in angry debate and inhammatory
speeches 1t has so retarded business that The
New York "News," above quoted, is glad it is
settled, because, now, something may be dont
for general interests-thus indirectly admit
ting that time has been wasted, and that thu
so-called Democracy, haoing a majority IN
10th Houses is responsible for 1t
We congratulate the Country on the transfer
quiet this delusive settlement brings, for al
interval of rest was needed. We sympathiz
with the Country in advance on account of thu
troubles impending Of which this bill is thu
germ. Or, should this fortunately provea per
". manent settlement of this Kansas question
we almost know some other of equal OF ever
of more perplexity will shortly be sprung.
As to the harmless display Of ecstatic feeling
and boisterous and meaningless defamation
INDUCED in by inflated demagogues, we hav'
nothing to say and less to fear. We doubt no
they are sincerely glad they have been tempo
rarily extricated from the effects of storm o
their own raising, which well nigh destroyed
them. We can excuse an exuberant flow o
JOY and rejoicing on the occasion of so narrow
an escape. We cannot blame them for the OK
hibition, even though most Of it may be sheel
pretension, as we believe it to be.-4tlanta

The question is often asked, Who should

tionable to principles Of the American party
ofWashiDgtonH For the Mayoralty, the names
OF James G. Berrett, John Purdy, and Richard
Wallach, have been presented to the pconle.
With the election Of the first, we may reason.
ably expect continuance of tho murder and
pillage that has so long disgraced our CITY.

affairs, and setting out with the avowed inten-
ton OF retaining in Office the men who have per-
mitted the principles of law and order to be

Government by the change from Pierce to Blu.

II is plain TO all who have observed the pro.
gross of this campaign, that Purdy stands no
chance whatever of an election
Under the circumstances, however much We
may be opposed to voting for any man who il
not an avowed American, yet the time has come
when the question Of law or no law must take
tho precedence over the principles involved

A New York farmer SAYS tina
q crop of clover is worth a grea
deal more for manure to plow j
under, than it is to feed it t.
stock. Every animal eating I;
ton of clover, keeps back a large
portion of it in bone and muscle
and converts much Of it into car
bonic acid gas, all of which woul'
otherwise be retained in the soil
Form this we conclude that ont
of the best modes of enrichin;
the a soil, is to pillow in greer
crops especially clover. 1t should
be done when the clover is ripe,
as it is worth more at that time
It saves barns, carting and re-
carting, and keeps the soil in 8
healthy condition-very much
like new soil. If you let the clio
yer ripen. the ground will be 50
plentifully filled with seed that i
will not need restocking. w
glorify men who build expensive
barns and cellars in which tosav
manure, when we should glorif,
tho man whe has no barn at all.

Prouaeatine FruitTrees.

1t is said that in China they
have common method of pro-
pagating several kinds Of fruit
trees, which of late years has been
practiced with success in Bengal.
The method is simply this: They
strip a ring, or bark, about an
inch in width, from a bearing
branch, and surround the place
with ball of fat earth or loam
bound fast to the branch with 8
piece of mating; over this they
suspend pot, or horn with wa
ter, having a small hole in the
bottom, Just sufficient to let Tho
water drop in order to keep thu
earth constantly moist. Th'
branch throws new roots into The
earth, just above the place where
the ring was stripped off. Th'
operation is performed in tn,
spring, and the branch is sawn OF
and put in the ground at the fal
of the leaf. The following yea
it bears fruit.
