LIQUOR Prosecutions IN WARREN "A
daughter of Erin was convicted of several sales of
liquor, in Warren, last week. for which, says the
Palmer Journal, she had her choice, either to pay
fine of sixty dollars, or go to the House of
Correction for one hundred and twenty days She
preferred the latter, upon the advice of one of her
countrymen, just out of the county institution.
whe assured her that she would have plenty to
eat. and little to do and that he woald have staid
longer if they would have permitted him.
On the same day, an Irshman was convicted
on a similar charge, and went to the House of
Correction for sixty days, for want of means to
pay his fine.

BUYING UP-Mr. Burns, Democratic repre-
sentative from Ohio, had been anti-LecomPton
but Of a sudden-became strong convert to Blu
ehansn Lecompton ruffianism. Just previous,
the President became convinced that Burns's son
ought to retain the post Office at Keokuck iowa,
and that the father would make an excellent
marshal for the Northern District Of Ohio. What
a funny coincidence
Mr. Corning, Democratic member from Albany,
N, Y, hurried to Washington under telegraph

the Southern disunionsts, in pay for which vote

The KANzAs INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
The congressional committee, appointed by the
Speaker under Mr.. Harris's resolution. consists
of seven Lecompton Democrats, one Lecompton
American, five Republicans, and two anti-Le.
compton Democrats; thus making the commit.
tee stand eight to seven, giving one majority to
Lecompton. The following fifteen gentlemen
comprise the committee:
Thomas L. Harris Of Illinois, anti-Lecompton
Democrat, chairman Alexander H. Stephens of
Georgia, Lecompton Democrat Justin Nor
rill of Vermont, Republican John fletcher of
Virginia, Leeompton Democrat; Edward Wade
of Ohio, Republican {; John A. Quitman of Mis-
sissippi, Lecompton Democrat; Warren Wins
low of North Carolina Lecompton Democrat :;
Henry Bennett of New York, Republican; AL
lson White of Pennsylvania Lecompton Dem
ocrat; David Wabridge of Michigan, Repub-
lican Thomas L. Anderson of Missouri, lie.
compton American; Garnet b. Adrian of New
Jersey, anti-Lecompton Democrat John w.
Stevenson Of Kentucky, Lecompton Democrat
James Burlington of Massachusetts, Republican
William F. Russell of New York, Lecompton
Democrat.
The composition Of this committee does not full
fl the expectation entertained from the reputed
fairness of Speaker Orr, obligated as he was by
parliamentary rule and courtesy to put majority
VI uASh uPOll tiAO SOAl4ti4lbtSSs
The New York Tribune well says;
Eight members of this committee have done
their utmost to defeat the investigation which
the House has ordered, while but SeUeR have IA
vored that investigation. Col. Orr in effect gives
Mr. Stephens the control of this important COM
mttee, knowing him to be intensely hostile to its
objects and its creation, Mr.. Stephens, with the
hearty sympathy of the Speaker, did his utmost
to defeat the raising Of this committee but
the House ordered it in spite of him and now
Col. Orr, as Speaker, gives Mr.. Stephens ma
jority on the commttee-in efftct telling him to
Illustrate and smother the investigation which he
failed to prevent.
We do not believe that the Lecom ptonites
will gain ANYTHING, at last, by this violation OF all
parliamentary rule and courtesy but it imposes
on their opponents in the House an obligation
of incessant watchfulness Should dozen anti
Lecompton members absent themselves for few
days, there is no security that Stephens may not
abruptly close the investigation, report the bill,
and rushit through the Chat is, into and out of
Committee Of the Whole, and try to put it forth
with on its passage under the screw Of the previ
GUS question. The Republican who is absent un-
paired for a single day henceforth, until the fate
of the Calhoun contriyanceis sealed in effect be-
trays-his constituents and exposes the cause OF
free Kanzas to an ignominious defeat Emphati.
cay in this case is eternal vigilance the price of
liberty"

TIE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRACY
III the Editors of tie Union

10 The Editors of The Union;
GENTLEMEN In your paper of this morning, under the
head of Wha says South you have correctly detail
cd the disastrous consequences Of democrats uniting with
moderate in elceng ''a least better democrat than
aboon in the States of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
Ohio, and New York You then add: ut is through
this fatal policy that every congressional district in New
England has been lost to the democratic party
was surprised greatly at reading this from your pen
when you must be that at the present time two
the four districts of Connecticut represented by two
saunch and reliable democrats in the House OF
Representatives The policy you so Justly condemn has
never been adopted by the democrats of Connecticut
hence it is that the democracy of that State sound
and reliable that of any other State in the Union.
And allow to add that this characteristic of the party
in Connecticut may in great measure, be attributed to
the consistent national ground always occupied by the
present able Secretary of the Navy The Connecticut
democracy has always stood out against any union with
| any and all forms Of abolitionsm.
In 1850 Mr. Toucey might have been elected to the
United State Senate had he and his friends yielded
in very slight degree to the wishes of few abolition
democrats So in 1851. The true, national ground
was, however firmly maintained and the State for the
aforementioned year unrepresented when, in 1852
an overwhelming majority of the national democracy
| sent Mr.. Toucey TO the Senate
The same was the case with Gov Seymour late min
lister to ST. Petersburg He could have been elected gov
ernor before he was had the democratic party in tho
State consented to unite with seeding aboonists
Such union repealed utterly irreconcilablc with
principle Governor Seymour eventually elected
| true national grounds. r
| The democratic party in Connecticut has re-
manned untanted with sbolitionism in all its forms. Il
Is owing to this fact that she is the only New Eng
Land State which is represented inpar by democrats IL
the national legislature and there is good reason
believe that, from this fidelity to principle the State
its next election will have full democratic representa-
| ton in Congress.

now TIE CHINESE MAKE MANUREs.


It has often been the wonder of farmers in this part of
the world how the Chinese with but few domestic ami
mails have been able to keep their lands in high state
of fertility and TO sustain such immense population
We do not now wonder so much when know what
pains they take in the saving and manufacture of ma
hurcs.
Having very few horses cattle and therefore little
barn yard manure, they all the human excrements
And only the solid parts, but the liquid, which, be-
ing diluted with water, they apply to the roots of grow
ing plants The country people visit the cities and large
towns regularly and carry off the contents Of prves and
unas at stipulated price, which they make into pou-
drettc The publicity of "necessares, and the I'M
bshing display of chamber vessels everywhere at first
shock occidental sensbilitcs but custom and the Of
the fsrzng materials thus saved reconcile to
the singular usage
Oil cake Is another of their manres made from bean
This bean is crushed then steamed and oil pressed
from it, and tho cake which remains becomes fertilizer
1t is often used in liquid form, having been broken up
and stepped and then reduced by the addition OF consid
cradle water
The Chinese the sediment collected from the bot
tom of their canals for manure They dig large pits
into which they throw successive layers Of canal mud
weeds straw garbage and all oouptible matters When
pit has become full il is cleaned out, and filled again
IN the same way 40 that in the course Of the year large
quantity of compost is secured. Nor Is this all Ashes
of all kinds preserved, and used with the greatest
economy Tho hair from tho BARRIERS shops is saved
and sold at so much pound Boys go about the streets
with rake and basket gathering up everything which can
be converted into manure certain of finding ready sale
for it,

THE MAIL FROM NEW YORK.

Referring to the suggestion in the Union of yesterday
morning, that the regular through mail from New York
for the South might leave that city two hours earlier
than it now does that is, by the Camden and Amboy
line at G, ~ M and arrive at Washington at instead
of T. p the editors informed that this g. a. M.
train connects at Philadelphia with train Baltimore
an earlier hour than the regular express and mail
tronviz: at p and consequently, though the mail
might arrive at Philadelphia hour in advance of the
present e that hour would DO lost there the arrival
at Washington being still Z, p. m
The train arriving at s. p. M, leaves Philadelphia at
g. a. M, and is accommodation train for local pur-
poses and way travel.
II the g. M train from New York should be select
cd Tho great mail train instead of that at g. m,
letters from New York would necessarily be two hours
older; and the mails from Albany and the North and

of the Reading Pa) Gazette and Democrat who at one
time opposed the nomination of Hon. j. Clancy Jones
for recollection to Congress, now cordially sustans
the nomination, and will support his election with
all his power The paragraph we transfer 10 our
columns from his paper assures us that Mr. Getz
recognises to the full extent his obligation, as mem
Dor of the democratic party, TO sustain its men as
well as its measures, and to uphold tho hands of the
national administration

REPUBLICANS MODIFYING THEIR CREED

Tho New York correspondent of the NatiOnal In
tslgescer, in letter dated the 5th instant, says
The republicans are busy in the several counties APP
pointing delegates the State convention 10 be held at
Syracuse on the 9Th instant III most instances Loy hare
modified their creed 10 embrace moderate of ali parties
The writer gives specimens of the tone and spirit
prevalent among that party, from which we select
the following resolution, adopted at convention
recently held in oswego, New York After gem
eral denunciaton of the democratic party and the
national administration they say:
Resided That is the duty Of all the opposition par
ties to agree upon such basis Of union shall enable
them most efectuay TO cooperate against the destruc
tive tendencies practices and principles OF the demo
cratic party
We here have distinct avowal that the repub-
can party modifes its creed from day to day with
the hope Of adding sufficiently to their numbers to
overthrow the democratic party. The leaders are
ready to believe, sag they believe, anything
which will bring them followers. This proves that
they have honest principles to stand upon, and
that they will profess anything which they think
will keep their sinking party from going to the bot
tom. They know that their numbers have so far
diminished to leave their cause in hopeless con-
dftion. Hence, Sin most instances they modify their
cIeeu' IHcy cApecL ny uiiS inouiHcalon 10 RETAIN
in their ranks the thousands who recognise the
fatal tendency of their former creed and leaving
them. They hope to draw away disappointed demo-
Gratis by protesting something new that viii be plank
for them to stand upon. But above ALL they believe
that the Americans care as little for principle they
do and, therefore, that little modification of their
creed win afford them ground to stand upon, and
tsat desire to be in the majority will induce them
to range themselves under their sable banner. Their
labors to-day at Syracuse will show how well they
have calculated, so far the wire-workers CON
csrned But, however the latter may determine
there, the election in November will show that the
time has gone by when the leaders sell the votes
Of the rank and file at their pleasure Honest. indie
pendent, and intelligent men will not consent to be
thus transferred for the benefit of few who expect
to profit by the sale,

THE LAcK-REpuBIIcAN OPINION OF HIM.

The ST. Louis Democrat, Journal which, notwth-
standing its name is one of the leading back-repub
can organs of the West, in noticing the debate at
Feeport speaks follows of the two stump orators:
I'VE publish this morning the debate at Frecport and
commend il instructive reading There is feature
and tendency in the speeches each side which
think must attract observation Lincoln and Douglas
are each other than the platforms of their
respective parties Douglas cannot be said to represent
the national democracy, though he claims to be its can
didate lincoln is the unquestoned exponent of the re-
publican party, and it will be seen from his speech
that the ulaisms imputed to that party uniounded
In reference to the slavery question: there to be
difference between the doctrines of the republican party
expounded by Lincoln, and the doctrines of the late
wing party. On the other hand, it will be seen that
Douglas strikes blow at the bred Scott decision
by denying the practicabty Of its application TO the
Territories or rather, by pointing out method by
which ii be evadcd by the territorial legislatures He
indirectly shows the Freepor sellers how slavery
be prevented from enoring Territory and we venture
to say the hint will not be lost
