CASTING NET FOR MAckERFL, IN THE HOPE
OF CATCHING A SPRAT.-Such was the purpose of
the resolution adopted by the House yesterday, on
motion of Mr.. Covode. Its design is to rake the
sewers of calumny, disappointed plunder-seek-
ing, personal and political malevolence, &c, in
the hope Of fishing up some plausible charge or
other-the mover evidently knows not what
against the President of the United States. All,
on reading it, will instantly he aware that such
and such only is its object. 1t is the duty of the
House to protect the purity Of the Government;
but not to prostitute the high functions Of its
office to the end Of gratifying such malevoence
and propensity for wholesale detrac ton as evil
IDENTIFY actuates Mr.. John Covode and his aiders
and abettors In this movement II the reader
would know the reason why the country is day
by day coming more and more to despise the
majority of the House as a set of miserable dema-
gogues, We point to such legislation that on
which we are commenting, backed by that ma
jority's notorious refusal to reform any Of the
crying abuses connected with their own privileges
and emouments. which, sinking in the ncstrils
of common honesty and fair dealing with their
trust tell Of the fearful down-hin progress the
BODY is making, and Of the damning Influence
upon the political morals of the country such con-
duct OH the part of body holding such position
among the institutions Of the land, must neces-

Coal for Hogs.

The well known Mr. Mechi, of Tiptree

Of coal ashes or einders," and tha. "they car

Of this want" Probably many farmers have
noticed that hogs which are kept in close pens

petite for carbonsceous matter, particularly
for charcoal. If they cannot get this. they
will eat decayed wood. straw OF hay, 2ea;y

Among the human race. charcoal is sometimes

Lime and Wheat.

George II. Chase. an eLterprising young
fsrmer of Union Spring, n. Y, has tried an
experiment the present season With salt, ashes
and lime, on wheat. An acre each was select
ed for the three experiments. About two
barrels of salt were applied to one. two two
horse loads of ashes to a second, and hun
dred bushels of lime TO the third acre The
result has not been measured as yet, but the
effects of each are visible The salt proved
least useful; the ashes more so;and the lime
most 80 of all. The line Of superiority mark

r,,nnosit;en Of the animal portion of human
f,oi snd on It's relations 20 bread The gen
80, .enclusiens were, that Only small por-
,;on of the increase of fatenIDg animal was
.or,nosed OF pitrogenous matter; that from
5ye TO ten per cent, only of the nitrogenous
matter of the food was stored up in the body
of the animal; but tiist the amount o. tat s'oT-
ed up was frequently greater than the amount
supplied in the food. despite the loss IncuFfeh
iu the maintenance of the respiratory iunc-
tons. Hence, the comparative value OF ist-
sa;ps foods was proportional rather TO tue
amounts of respiratory than OF assumed hesh-
to-,,;no commitments. Il was calculated that
IN those portions of the carcasses OF oxen ac-
,.ailv consumed as human food, the amount
Of ,iry lat was from two to three tunes as grea.
as the amount of dry u:trogenous matter; ana
IN the eaten portions of the carcasses OF sheep
and pigs. more than four times as great by
substituting for the above proportions OF 'at'
their respiratory equivalents in starch SO as

bread the ratios become six or seven to one
.nd eleven to one respectively From vari-
GUS determinations made by number OF e1-
peri,nenters, it appeared that in wheat bread
the ratio OF starchy TO nitrogenous matter was
six or seven to one; so that in bread the pro-
-or.ion of animal fesh-forming constituents
was greater than the eaten portions of sheep
and pigs. and quite equal to that OF the eaten
-,or;;ous of oxen-a conclusion altogether op-
posed to the prevalent notions on the SUBJECT
