OF Supervisors, as TO whether thew should in
cude the names Of soldiers in the army in the
enumeration OF Inhabitants A close e1amina-
ton Of the law providing for the taking OF the

would dispel all doubts on this point The,

Mr. Howard. in the Senate. introduced a res

the truth OF the slaughter of the troops al Fl.

FIRST WARD UNION SCmooL.-MR.
EDiToR: As there was no notice in your last pa
per Of the closing exercises of this school, and
a. | vas delighted listener 10 them, allow ME.
il not too lac, to supply the Oh s~ion. No reg
uar " exhibition Was attempted, aud the con-
positions had all been written within week Of
the time when they we're read, aud yet. be-
leve but speak the feeling of the visitors gen
orally, when l say that for purity and elevation
OF thought, earuestness OF toIe, and correctness,
and ease of composition, they are rarely eqaslled
At exhibitions OF this kind This was the more
pleasing as SIX months ago, many OF the writei :
had yet TO make their first efforts at composition
The declarations slso were uncommouIy good
while the closing address and PLAYER by the
Pr ncipal left scarcely dry eye in the room
number Of the O lder scholars were about leav
ing the school. aud it wac easy to see that Mr..
Rork's ndefstigable efforts for their advance
ment were appreciated by bis scholars. and that
warmth OF attachment existed between them
which ls qui'e uncommon. A great deal Of re-
hgiOus interest has also beeen manifested ia this
school OF late, and it is hoped that much good
nav result from it.
As have visited it frequently during The pas,
six or eight months, l think it rot improper for
me TO state here that the kadng characteristics
Of this school are, the enthusiastic interest in
their studies With which the scholars minds are
inspired, and the dOrOuohae,s of the irs,ruc-
tons given, the pupil being made master of bis
subject at each step as he goes along.
This has resulted 10 such rapid and solid ad.
vancement as has been truly gratifying TO the
patrons of the school, and l believe they are al
glad that the valuable services OF Mr. Rork and
bis able assistant Miss Turner are continued in
the higher department. while Miss Limbeck s,in
keeps the primary. Miss Hattie Seymour. I
believe, takes the place, in the intermediate De
psrtment, left vacau, by the removal Of Miss
Wsshburne to the Second Ward School

eSS- Is it not singular that wherever prop
o>tiOn has been made to allow soldiers in the
service to vOte, the Democrats have ranged
themselves against the measure? In this State,
some objected that the law passed was uncon
Stiiutional: but when a proposal is made to
alter the COn~titutiOn as was the case in New
York, Pennsylvania aud New Jersey, why
should the Democratic party. as such. in a sold
body, lie opposed to it? We never have b. en
able to see any reason. except that they hated
the cause in which the soldier is engaged /
looks to US exceedingly and gratutou-ly mean.
on acknowledge thai, at home, your neighbor
is as good man as you but from the mo-
ment be enlists in the army. for the purpose Of
preventing the separation Of this great K pub-
lie into two nations. you do all in your power
to deprive him of the right f suffrage. Why
do you do this? If this be not gratuitous mean
ness. what is it? Does a soldier or officer cease
to be less trust worthy as a citizen because be
goes forth to risk his life for his country?

not have risked the absence OF many, nor

Butler seems for the time to be thrown
wholly on the defensive. lie is probably
to be subjected to more powerful attacks

that he will successfully maintain his

MEALY POTATOES ALL SUMNER
The following modo preserving them
IN GOOD condition las been described
By DR., }. N. Wilson as practieed in
SEQ land. The experiment i S o
cheap and easy. lhat W c presume
many persons viii test it this spring.
It is as follows:
Diluted arnm0niacal water in the
proportion Of an ounce of the liquor
ofammonia Of the druggists to pint
Of river or rain water, has Of late
years been successfully employed for
checking the yegctative power Of po-
tatoos, and prolongipg their suitable
ness for food. Potatoes immersed
four or five days in this liquid, retain
all their edible properties unimpared
for twclyemonth, improved in favor
and mealiness. The effect of the H.
quor is to consolidate their substance
and extract their moisture. After
immersion, the potatoes should b e
spread so as to dry, and will then
keep good for ten months; contrib
uting in this way not only to the com
fort of families, but also to the health
of mariners exposed to long voyages
at sea.
