to accept or reject the treaty She had previously
made three treaties with the United States, which
were ratified by her Congress and rejected at Wash

Bf5" According to appointment the candidates
for the Senate and for Floater met at the Court
House last Monday night; but only the two former
made speeches, the other two contcnting themselves
with an announcement of their candidacy, followed
by few remarks upon the currency, and some good
humored banterng at each others expense. The
crowded state of our columns viii not permit to
go into examination of the speeches Of the
candidates for the Senate is it necessary, since
they have been, or soon will be- heard by the bulk
of our readers. The currency question the
only one discussed and since every reading man
knows the position of the two parties on that sub
ject recapuaton, by us, can afford neither profit
nor interest Suffice it to say the democratic posi-
ton, If carried into practice must result in the des
truction of all banks since business men are too
shrewd to establish a bank that is at all times, at
the mercy of partizan cgislature-reckless alike
of the public good and of individual interests
Mr. Yancey led off, and labored hard to prove the
correctness of his position and conended that the
difference between Mr.. Horn and himself, upon the
currency, consisted mainly of one feature that Of
rcserving to the Legislature the right to modify OIL
abolish banks at their will. Mr.. Horn successfully
proved that this difference constituted the gist Of
the whole controversy, anu that the man who adj
vocated Mr. Yancys position is practically, a hard
money man, since capitalists will never invest theii
money in banks without the security afforded by
definite period during which their charters will bc
inviolabc by the Legislature.
Mr.. Yancy gave satisfaction TO his friends willis
Mr. Horn surpassed the expectations of his and tht
result of the discussion is We think, in favor of thu
Opposition. Mr.. Horn has truth and justice t,
back him. and a vigorous way of dealing with boil
that must tell upon the people, and we predict 70
him a daily increase of strength and final victory

Preserving Butter.

The farmers of Aberdeen, Scotland,
are said to practice the following method
of curing their butter, which gives it a
great superiority over that Of their neigh
bOrs
Take two quarts Of the best Of common
salt, one ounce OF sugar, and one ounce OF
common saIrpelre take one ounce Of this
composition for one pound Of butter,
work il well into the mass, and close it
Up for use. The butter cured with this
mixture appears Of rich marrowy con-
sistency, and fine color, and never ac-
qures a brittle hardness nor tastes salty.
DR.. Anderson says II have eaten but
ter cured with the above composition that
had been kept for three years, and II was
as sweet as al first" 1t must be noted,
however, that butter thus cured is 10
stand three or four weeks before il il
used. II is sooner opened the salts are
not sufficiently blended with ii, and
sometimes the GOODNESS OF the nlre will
be perceived, which totally disappears al,
