The radicals are unwilling to support the
president themselves or to have democrats |;
but liberal. patriotic and honest republicans
feel differently. The Providence Journal
says "the resolutions and speeches in the
Maine democratic convention, and in tn :,
Minnesota convention, were most specific in
their praises of the president. The demo-
cratic papers generally have commended
them and repeated the compliments to Mr..
johnson with warm approval" Il adds that
such support OF the president by democrats
gives "immense force to every blow be strikes

Parson Brownlow Catholic Colleges.
The famous parson thus comments in rela-
ton to catholic colleges. We find the article
in his paper, Brownloo's KnorviIle Whig and
Rebel Ventilator, of the Goth of July 1t is
highly amusing, and terse enough for any
critic:
''Wh lille the presby terians, methodists and
baptists have been spending their energies
upon politics, and trying to pull down the
government and build up a bogus one-anni-
hilating their schools and colleges-the Rom
an catholics have been devoting their ener-
gies to their religion, and hence they have
made astonishing progress, and they now
have an open field and q free fight almost
without protestant competition. Many of
the protestant clergy have taken to the in
temperate use of ardent spirits, TO profane
swearing, to notorious lewdness, and TO open
and notorious lying, cheating and swindling
While protestant ministers in the south have
as general thing, fallen from grace, dis
graced themselves and destroyed their infiu.
ence for good, the Roman catholics set down
their religion as of more Importance than
politics, kept their people together, and kept
their schools and colleges under way. The
result of thus minding their own business.
while bad men and designing demagogues
carried ON the war, is now to be seen in all
parts of the United States. In looking over
the addresses of catholics to their graduating
classes. they coHfne their remarks to their !
classes; but q protestant at the north dwelIs
upon negro suffrage and at the south upon
the glories of the confederacy--de omnibus

ENGLISH IMPERTINENCE-REpUB
CoNGREssMEN' CAUCUS IN New York.
Her Malesty's Government had bet
ter instruct her detectives to be a lit
tie more cautious in their arrests of
American citizens, on the arrival of
the New York steamers, on charges of
Fenianism, else it will get into trou
bic sooner than it anticipates. The
City of Washington, from Liverpool
to-day. on her last "trip out, was sub
]ected to annoyances of the most un-
lustlfiable character, and such of the
passengers as felt themselves aggriev-
ed at the rough fright of search to
which they were subjected, lost no
time in representing the case to the
United States Consul at Liverpool,
who, in turn, acquainted the Ameri-
can Minister with the facts. What
action Mr.. Adams deemed it judicious
to pursue in the premises, of course,
IS not yet known but the r,mor is,
to-day, that bearer of important
dispatches from him, to Washington,
came on in the steamer, and will pro
ceed to the seat of Government this
evening. The Fenians, to-day, are
making much of these facts and sur
misses, on the principle that every
new complication between the two
countries is just so much added to
their capital stock.
The result Of the informal caucus
OF the Republican Congressman and
politicians at the Astor House on
Saturday night, is not even so much
as limited at in the journals and there
fore it is news to state that all hands,
after much discussion, pledged them
selves to the policy of excluding every
Southern applicant for seat in Con-
gress that cannot take the test oath in
such cases made and provided. Go
vernon Fenton is said to have suggest
ed, as solution of the difficulty, that
Congress organize without the South
ern members, then, if deemed expe-
dent, proceed at once to so modify
the test oath as to enable the appli-
cants to take their seats with clear
conscience but the meeting clearly
was Tot prepared go that length,
rather preferring for the present to
back up Clerk Mcpherson in omitting
Dixie from the roll call, and trusting
to subsequent events for their admis-
sion on conditions that will be accept
able.--N. Y.:Cor. Pill Leoge7', Iii.

SUMMER FALLOWS FOR WHEAT.

The editor of She Country Gentleman, in
an account of a visit to the farm of John
Johnson, of Seneca county, \. Y, one of
the most successful wheat growers in this
State, says:
" Mr.. johnson believes in fallowS. He
always fallows for wheat, until on renting
his farm some years ago he would allow
the tenant to SOW after other crops, but he
now returns to the old practice as prefer
able and really more profitable We went
out to falow of about l3 acres, broken
up because the twitch or couch grass had
begun to come in and the thorough pre-
paration it was undergoing is like nothing
we have seen since the similar labors on
English farms. 1t was ploughed early in
the season, and cross-ploughed and har-
rowed twice, in July. Now (the first of
August the roller was going over it, and
though already in as good order as most
fields are sown, Mr.. Johnson has planned
to cultivate it, using this instrument to
draw out what twitch roots remain, to plow
again, harrow, re-cultivate, and if ncces.
sary to harrow again before the seed is
drilled in. This will completely rid it of
the twitch, which will be raked up and
burned, and the crop of wheat that follows
ought to be good one indeed. The truth
is, said he, our farmers don't half lcOrk'
their land , and this field was already so
mellow that while few Jumps lay over the
surface hard and dry-close to the top on
most of it, the soil was shown to be as
moist as ever, notwithstanding fortnight's
lack of rainn-G GeneSee Farmer

BLIGHT IN TREES.

During the past season a similar malady
to the blight (in the pear) appears to have
attacted evergreens. We observed it first
in the Balsam Fir, where shoots only three
or four inches long became affected during
the excessive heat and drouth of the past
summer Specimens of some of the pines
were sent to us by S. Rhoades, Esq, of
West Philadelphia, showing a similar re-
suit, the tip shoots being dead and the
leaves rusty brown. A fine specimen of
the Pinus excelsa on our own grounds has
mostly perished, the lower branches only
remaining fresh but the leaves have not
been discolored as in the other instances,
and it may not be precisely the same diff
Guilty Among several thousand pear trees
growing within short distance, not a sin
gle case of genuine fire-blight has occurred
this same season although few have
perished by that peculiar disease of the
roots which has been observed of late years
But, in the latter case the leaves, instead
of turning black, as in the genuine blight,
have onl y withered and become light-hrown,
evidently in consequence of the mere lack
of nourishment, the supply of which could
not be obtained through the dead roots.
IL lS obvious tlat tneSe appearances are
more apt to be openly developed (if not
caused during very hot weather, system
of training should be adopted that shall dis
tribute foliage evenly through the head and
prevent the sun from striking too severely
on any exposed portion. Succulent growth,
it is well known, renders the tree more IL
able and hence, on good, dry soil of me-
dium fertility, that shall prevent an excess
i've growth, but favor healthy ripening of
the wood of the shoots, the tree will be
more likely to escape-Couatry Gentleman
