Emancipation i'm Congress.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, consery-
ative Republican paper, remarking upon
the second section of the emancipation
bill now pending in Congress, prints the
section and says:
"SEc. .. md be IL further enacted
That if any person claiming to be enti
tied to the service or labor of any otheI
person shall seek to enforce such claim
he shall, in the first instance, and bcror,
an order shall be made for the surrcnde,
of the person whose service or labor i,
claimed establish not only his claim tc
such service or labor, but also that such
claimant has not, in any way, aided, as
sisted or countonancod the existing re .
belion against tho government Of the
United States.
A provision in an ancient parchment on
the files of the Department of State, en-
titled 1.-The Constitution Of the United
States Of America" declares that a per-
son held to service or labor in ono State,
escaping into another "ShaH be delivered
up" and the olden rolls also declare that
only the laws which shall be made in pur-
suance thereof shall be the supreme law
of the land. Now observe the phraseol
ology Of this section. a man is peromp-
torily required prove negative, which
besides its illcgabiity, is simply, under
many circumstances, an mpossbilty.-
The negative to be proved is also Of the
most wholesale charactcr--"that he has
not in any ,cay, aided, assisted or coul,te-
nanced," DC. The language extends to
opinions as well as acts, nor is it limited
to period subsequent to the passage of
the law.
The section simply means that there
shall be no rendition Of iugitivcs from
service or labor in any case. 1t would
be more honest to avow that as the real
object, for practically to that end will
the act come. Thus, the proof required
is to be furnished "in the first instance"
that is (as it will doubtless be sought to
be interpreted before any warrant for the
arrest issues. While, therefore, the
claimant is detained day after day fur.
nishing this preliminary evidence, the
delay and publicity Of the proceedings
give ample notice to all parties interes
ted, and when the warrant comes after.
wards to be issued the fugitive has, OF
course, escaped from the Jurisdiction of
the magistrate, no matter how loyal the
claimant may prove himself to be.
There is no reason why we should
thus subyert the plainest principles of the
administration of justivc, make mockery
OF the supreme law of the land, turn
tho procedure of our courts into the
method OF Star Chamber or an Inqui.
sitlon, emulate the enormities Of the old
English State Trials, and give to every
fanatical Judge or Commissioner an op.
portunity to flourish as modern Scroggs
or Jeilreys.

A Place for Everything and Ev.
rything in its Place.

Spare no pains to carry this proverb
into effect. There can be such thing as
a we'll ordered household, or comrorta +.
bio home il it is not carried out. Moth
ing can show greater want of manage
ment. thought or careluness, than every
thing out of place. In such house
nothing is ever to be found when it is
wanted, The cooking is spoiled, because
the seasonings are mislaid; one thing has
to DO used for another, and everything
comes to hand, except that which is re-.
quired-a knife is used ins stead of screw.
driver, a fork for cork-screw, the po.
ker Tor hammer, and towels for busters.
Nothing answers the purpose. and all are
inJored by being made to serve ends for
which they were never intended. All
these evils, and what is still worse, tho
the petty .annoyances that they occasion,
may DO ended by having a place for every
thing, and keeping every thing in its
place.

We Bid NOu welcome.

The editor of the St. Joseph (Mo. J
Daily Gazette, in the course of an article
on democracy" says:
Having hitherto battled against the old
party, believing that it did not fully car
ry out the wishes of the founder of the
Republic, we are convinced now that we
did it injustice. Since the Inauguration
Of the resent regime Floyd's pecadillos
sink into insignilicance before the nigh
ty frauds daily perpetrated on the Trca-
sury-frauds SO glaring that the people
stand aghast at their magnitude. Now
that the country is rent in twain, the life
blood Of her bravest sons poured fourth
like water, and millions Of dollars worth
of property confded to the flood and
flames, what is more competent to heal
the wounds and bid the troubled waves

Though a young convert we will do

labors shall henceforth be with the Dem
ocracy; with them we will work for the
peryctuaton of our Union and Constitu-
ton, openly freely and without fear, ia.
vor or ailectaton.
This is the language of man who has
heretofore been opposed to the Demo-
cratic party. He talks like a patriot,
and the able manner in which the Gazette
is conducted is sufficient evidence that he
is heart and soul with the Democracy,
and fulfilling his pledge to labor for the
perpetuation of the Union and Constitu-
ton, openly, freely, and without fear, ia
vor or affectation. We welcome him to
the Dem ocratic ranks, and extend the
hand of fellowship.

Items Of Agricultural Interest,

Corn fodder is valuable substitute
for grass, and if drilled in, yields three
or four times the quantity per acre that
grass does.
Lime soils are injurious to sheep, and
by absorbing the oil in the wool renders
the fibre harsh and brittle.
A handful of bran meal, mixed occa
sionally in the mess Of COW, will pay
teniold its cost in the richness of the
milk.
Give hogs occasionally tablespoonful
Of compound of three parts Of ashes
aud one of salt. for each hog, mixed with
their food, and it will kill kidney worms
The first stage Of decomposition of
manure is dry mold. This, if applied
to plants, will draw the moisture from
them, and be positive injury.
Swamps want lime to decompose the
vegetable matter in them; dry knolls
want leached ashes, or clay, to hold wa,
ter and plaster to furnish sulphuric acid
to dissolve the sand and render it soluble
Boiled oats, fried in fat, are recon-
mended for laying hens as the very best
food for the production of eggs.

A SiircWd HriSihlnats.

An Irish priest was seen standing at
tho corner Of one of the squares in Lon
don, about the hour of dinner. One of
his countrymen observing the worthy
father in perplexty, addressed him
"Ohl Father O'Lcary, how is your
rivirince?"
"Mightily put out, Pat" was the re-
ply.
"Put! who'd put out your rvirince?"
"Ohl you don't understand; this is
just it am invited to dine at one of the
houses in this square, and forgotten the
name, and | never looked at the number,
and now it is seven o'clock"
"Oh, is that all?" was the cry, "iust
now be easy, your rivirince. III settle
that for you"
So saying, away flew the good natured
lrshman round the square, glancing at
tho kitchens, and when he discovered a
fire that denoted hospitality, he thundered
at the door aud inquired, "ls Father o.
Leary here?' AS might be expected,
again and again he was repulsed. At
length an angry footman exclaimed
ono; bother on Father O'Leary, he is
not here, but he was to dine here to-day,
and tho cook is in rage, and says the din
ner will be spoilt."
paddy, leaping from the door as il
the steps had been on fire, rushed up tc
tho astonished priest
"All right, your honor's rivirince; yor
dine at 43, and a mighty good dinne
you'll get"
ooh, Pat" said tho grateful pastor
"the blessings of a hungry man be upol
you"
Long life and happiness to our riv
lrince; | have got your malady, onl,
wish | had your remedy"
