the propriety Of a restriction on new States
as to population, il general in its charac-
ter, or as to the necessity of any previous
act of Congress authorizing the formation
of State government, and without inquir-
ing whether the constitution submitted by
the people of Oregon is republican in form
and consistent in its provisions with the
guarantees of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, while the restriction on the &C
ton of the people of Kansas remains
upon the statute book, unless made of
universal application to all the Territories,
the undersigned feel that their approval Of
the application of Oregon under these
circumstances would be giving their sane
ton to an unjust discrimination between
the people of different Territories, if not
indirectly indorsing the odious distinction
made in the law Of the last session Of
Congress against fee institutions and free
States.

sERvICE-PIPEs FOR WATER.


SIR: You have furnished several notices in late
numbers Of your paper of kinds of servicepipe,
designed take the place Of the Objectionable lead
pipe. These nearly all fail to give satisfaction to the
plumbers by reason of their Stiffness which prevents
crookipg them easily about in any position and
most of them are liable, in of freezing, to
burst e,en in a long rent while lead pipe bulges
out, and if it opens is easily repaired. These
good qualities Of lead pipe cannot be found
in any other material, and hence the plumbers are
generally in favor Of continuing to use it, though no
ore can deny the danger it involves. II il could it.
self be thoroughly protected within, objection could
be offered 10 its use This has not been attempted
the protection being pitchy compound, probably
mixed with eutta percha aud applied in melted state
throughout the pipe, which must be in short lengths
for the Purpose ard then united. This coating recon-
mends sef for its simplicity and efficiency, and if the
work is faithfully done we believe it viii accomplish
the whole object desired leaving the lead pipe tor the
plumbers without any just ground for complaint Even
if tie coating be nehoiepty laid on the protection 10
good far it is complete, and, some spots remain
exposed the injury that could follow from these must
be very slight compared with that arising tro the
pipe entirely naked. Ii must be remembered, how
ever Il ST this coating s only adapted for cold water
and protection is stil desirable that will resist the
action OF hot water as well This TO be perfect should
be made 70 unite chemically with the lead instead Of
being made merely to adhere to it.
No reply has yet appeared 10 your paper to the IN,
aury recently nsde respecting gutta percha pipe and
lie DC oular qualities for conveying water. There are
HIGH reeomm datons advanced in lis favor, and the
use of II at Baokwels Island eppears, so far a. we
krow, to be perfectly satisfactory. TIE material,

Gle being very durable and resisting the action Of tuIds
which rapidly act npon and destroy the miserable mix

GRAZING IN FLoRIDA.-A gentleman Of this city,
who spent TIE Winter the ST. Johns River IN
Florida gives interesting account OF grazing IN
that State. Although as warm there all Wioter NJ
our Nav and June the land is bare Of grass and OF
course affords grazing for cattle Nor Is any pro-
vision made for Winter eedir by cattle owners Ma
tue however, never forgets her own and II the land
does not the water does, produce grass, and at low
water all along the lower par, OF the St. Johns RIVER
the horned cattle and hores wade into the water up
to their bellies and thrusting their heads under water,
seize large mouthfulls Of the grass which Crews
abundanty upon the bottom. Having disposed OF
moutbiu they dive for another and this they con-
t ne to do for hours, unil satisfied the tide rises
30 high as to make the operation imposs BILE even Tor
these amphbious animals. Here at the North, cattle
somet get in the way of trains on the railroads,
but We don know that locomotives often delayed
by them But in Florida boats run through the
ordinary cow.pastuIes and Of have occasionally
to beck waite to give the animals chance to wade
ashore that the boat can approach near enough to
"the landing e." to run out wet plank upon muddy
ban k, and allow The enterpnsng owner of the bpeds
TO land al his plantation
Az il costs but little TO pasture stock in this way,
il is not TO be expected that the animals rank high in
point of value. From the juicy nature Of the food,
coming fresh from element that forms large per-
centnge Of city milk, friend expected that the
Florida cows would yield that fluid abundsnty. Tho
