How MucH Corn cANAMAN HUSK This
question, says an exchange, is not yet set
tied, how many bushels of corn man can
or should husk in day. Daniel Scott, Jr..
OF Seneca County, n. Y, husked in one day
working only nine hours, 81 bushels of ears
Of corn, 80 of which were good sound ears,
and seven Of poor corn The ears were
pulled from the stalks, which had been cut
from the ground and shocked in the usual
way, and the stocks he bound up as he pro-
ceeded. During the last hour he husked
twelve bushels When it was customary TO
leave the stalks standing uncut in the field,

The Late Incendiary Plot.

A few weeks ago the Richmond Whig, in
commenting upon General Sheridan's oper-
ations in the Shenandoah valley, suggested
a scheme of retaliation, which, according to
its programme, was to result in burning. to
quote its own language, lone of the chief
cities of the enemy" The Wing observed,
'nothing would be easier;" that 1.-The men to
execute the work are already there;' that
"twenty men, with plans all preconcerted
and means provided, selecting some dry,
windy night, might fire Boston in hum
dred places" and, ''if the Yankees retaliate,
it is a game at which we can beat them
NeU York is ,oorth t,oenty Richmonds." The
same paper furthermore recommended that
a million of dollars be appropriated by the
rebel authorities for the ''hiring of gang
of trusty and intelligent incendiaries," for
the above purpose, and in conclusion said,
''If the Executive is not ready for this, we
commend the matter to the secret delibera-
tions of the Congress about to meet"
The rebel Congress has already met, and
had its stormy secret session, and New
York has been fired in nearly twenty
places, and, as it were, by spontaneous ac-
tion. The men to ''execute the work" have
apparently been found on the ground, and
their diabolical scheme only failed of sue
cess in consequence Of the bungling man
ner in which it was put In execution, and
the excellent police and fire arrangements
of the hotels and of the city. Thus have
the apprehensions of Mr.. Seward, mention
ed in his late letter to Mayor Gunther, been
fully realized, and our own admonitiOns, In
view of the threats of the rebel papers, not
uttered in vain.-N. Y. Herald, NoU. %.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-12-01


The fathers framed the Federal Constitu-
tion TO secure to themselves and their pos
terity 'the blessings of liberty" This Is
the great end for which all our Gonstitn-i
tions, State as well as Federal, were formed,
and for which all laws, not inconsistent
with these Constitutions, were enacted. The
object of Constitutions and constitutional
laws Is to promote and secure order, with
out which there can be no security to life,
liberty or property.
Break down by force, or by the voluntary
action of the people, the constitutional
guarantees of order, and anarchy is intro
duced, and liberty is extinct. We may sub
stitute for the Constitution and constitu-
tional law, what Is technically called mar
tial law; but this is, as defined by iurists,
properly no law at all, and its proclama-
tion and enforcement Indicate the absence
OF all law, the presence OF general anarchy,
and the extingRishment of liberty. What
IL Is no man can know; what its decrees
shall be rests in the arbitrary and uncon-
tfolled will of the military despot at the
who happens to be placed in the command
of a particular district
The people of a country have often lost
their liberty by the destruction of constitu-
tional law and order, and the introduction
of arbitrary military rule. But this has
seldom, perhaps never, been done except
through the fault of the people themselves.
The substitution OF military despotism for
CONSTITUTIONAL liberty Is never made sudden
Iy; but the people are battered, cajoled and
made to believe that this exercise of dndel-
egated power, and that Infringement OF
their Constitution, Is necessary for the
maintenance of International independence.
and for their protection and happiness
Thus, for want of that "eternal vigilance"
which Is the price of liberty, they are Sc
duced stsp by step; they sleep on, as it
were In fancied security, and are even fas-
cinated and charmed by the gilded scales of
the monster serpent that is winding his
coils around them, till they find themselves
crushed in his folds and utterly helpless.
One departure from the limits of the Con-
stitution-one exertion of arbitrary power,
is bat a temptation to, and a precedent for
another. Such course being once entered
Hpon by the ruler or rulers of country,
there Is no predicting where or when it
win stop. One arbitrary act suggests and
creates the necessity for another. If the
people submit, and are willing to lose their
liberty for the sake of gratifying set of
tyrants under the specious names of re-
formers, philanthropists and friends of free
dom, they viii receive their reward in due
time.

lFrou The Ohio Farmer J
The Wool Trade.

The great decline In gold-running down
within two weeks from near $50 to less than
22O-has somewhat checked the disposition
to advance the price of wool In the eastern
markets, and the sales during the past
week, especially In New York, ruled IN IA
vor Of the buyer. Importers, In the decline
of exchange put upon the market their
stocks of foreign wools, and manuiacturers
were pretty free buyers. The activity
which this induced created degree OF
firmness in the trade, and at the close OF
the week the market had partially recover
ed from the weakness with which 1t open
ed. The inquiry in New York was the
most brisk for low grades adapted to man
ufacture of army clothing and carpets
Among the sales in that city during the
week was 100000 fleece ranging FROM 00c to
$l.O5. In Philadelphia considerable sales
of medium fleece are reported at $l.lO. In
Boston, the market, says The Ploag',,nan. OF
Saturday, "has been more animated, with
sales OF about 100000 lbs. fleece and pulled
at Doc and $l.05, but the finest grades OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania are held at $l.l0
and upwards, with very little western of
fering under 81 per Id. The sales included
100000 lbs. New York State and mixed
western at 95c to 96c; $4,000 lbs. Michigan
at 81; $4,000 lbs. Ohio at 81; 5000 lbs. New
York at $l.03; $4,000 lbs. mixed western at
81; 10000 lbs. Pennsylvania at $l.05; 30,-
600 lbs. Mchi gan. and Ohio at 96c to 98c !;
10000 lbs. pulled, mostly from 90c to $l.05
for super and extra. Best grades of super
and extra are now held at $1.O5 to $l.10 per
lb. Sales of 1000 lbs. mixed Canada at
9714c, but In Combing descriptions we no.
tiee no transactions. The movements In
foreign wool have not been to any extent,
but there is better feeling, particularly
for clothing descriptions. The sales include
125 bales, mostly cape, at Bog to Coo; and
$50 bales South American and Meditcrrane-
an at various prices, as to quality"

ex-member Of the Confederate Congress and
an ex-editor. He was serving as private
I'm the Confederate ranks, and was taken
prisoner while in the act of exchanging

him; and that the military authorities had
