How TO ExTEMPoRIsE .-Radishes
may be grown in very few day by the fol.
lowing method: Let some good radish seed
soak in water for twenty-four hours, then put
in bag and expose it to the sun In the
course of the day termination will commence
The seed must be snwn in a well manurei
hot bed, and watered from time to time with
lukewarm water. By this treatment the
radshes will in very short time acquire Il
sufficient bulk and be good to eat. If be
required to get good radishes in Winter
during the severe cold, an old cask should be
sawn in two, and one half of it filled with
good earth. The radish seed beginning to
shoot as before must be then sown in. the
other half of the barrel be put on the full one.
and the whole of the apparatus is carried
down into the cellar. For watering. luke
warm water should be used as before. In
the course of five or six days the radishes
will be fit to eat

The Reduction Of Prices.

There is a movement on foot in Chicago
to bring down the prices of all the leading
articles ofhouse-hold and family consump-
ton. The retail prices FOR all kinds of
staple articles are higher in that city now
than ever before. A meeting is about to
be called ofleading citizens to take positive
action in the matter. If dealers refuse to
listen TO reason, an associated store will
be Immediately started in the Sanitary
Fair building, where goods will be sup
piled at small advance from the whole
sale cost.
If The dealers in such articles will per-
sist in taxing the people beyond fair
price, the result will be Just such combi-
nations in all parts of the country as that
contemplated in Chicago. 1t is forstalling
the market, not the scarcity or high value
of articles at first hand, thatis keeping up
prices at present.
All articles that enter into family con-
sumption are plentiful. The season has
been and still is favorable, and the crops
a7e splendid. Labor is daily becoming
more ABUNDANT, and after the harvest
season is over, wages will rule at a reason
able figure. This will still further reduce
the cost of raising produce, and should
operate upon the market in very marked
degree.
The question of cooperative association
on the part of families to protect them
selves from extortion is producing quite a
sensation in many parts of the country.
The plan has been tried on limited scale
in many places. and found to work in

History win Tell.

! The following article from the New York
World will attract attention, and, so far as
Me-. Stanton is concerned it certainly re
quires explanation
Permit me to describe one Of The early
scenes in the grand drama, the last OF which
has not yet besn played
Ii was during the session Of Congtess, The
winter preceding the Charleston Convention,
that grave Senator occupied the attention Of
the Senate on the state Of the nation His
solemniy Of manner, his simplicity Of style,
bis extreme views on The subject OF State
rights, all proved the sincerity OF the speaker,
and recalled to memory the figure, voice, and
sentiments Of the dead Calhoun. The voice
seemed more like the emanation of spirit
than the uttered convictions of the man who
was destined to be the leader OF the great re-
bellion
A sort Of awe spread over the Senate Cham.
ber and even Wade and Su inner and Chan
dler listened with attention akin to respect
Among the auditory there was one who seemed
more than the rest absorbed in the scene
before bin The Senate adjourned, and
Stanton hsstened from the Senate Chamber TO
one of the great hotels of Washington, and
asked to be shown to the rooms OF the vener-
able Governor Medary, of Ohio Scarcely
had he entered, when, with a voice full OF
passionate energy, he exclaimed "Medary,
have just heard Davis, and by all the gods,
be is the greatest living S'atesm The
South is right, and Davis insult be the nomi-
nee Of the Charleston Convention and to Sc
cure that end, you must come at once to
Washington aud take charge Of the Govern
ment organ"
Governor Medary suggested that there we're
certain reasons why such an arrangement
might not be acceptable 10 Mr.. Buchanan.
when Stanton replied III will look to that
| will be responsible for that | will 20 at
once TO the White House, and in two hours
from now will see you again" Medary waited,
Stanton returned; but for reasons unneces.
cary here TO relate, the scheme failed This
was the opsnine scene which preceded the re.
bellou, and Edwin NJ. Stanton only played
the chief role as the advocate of Southern
rights and the special friend Of Jefferson
Davis.
Governor Melary sleeps in an houored
grave, but there are yet three living witnesses
to the truthfulness of this narrative One is a
State prisoner who lies in chains st Fortress
Monroe; another is his jailor who declared
the prisoners views to be Just, and who sought
to place the man be now holds in irons in the
Presidential chair; the third and the last is
the venerated James Buchanan. This is but
stray scrap of history, but tits not unworthy
OF being presented

New Hampshire Politics.

1 They have had, lately, a discussion upon
national politics in the Legislature OF New
Hampshire, which is now in session. A Dem
ocratc member Mr., Mcneil, in the House Of
Representatives, offered the following resolu.
ton, which embraces the words of President
Johnson to Hon James Ashley, Of Ohio
"ResOlUed, That we cordially aud earnestly
indorse the declaration Of the Chief Execu.
tive Of the nation that States which have been
in rebellion are still States or, in other
words that the Governments of those States
were not destroyed, out were only in abeyancs
and that when the rebellion was suppressed
aod the laws and Constitution revived, Meth.
er the President nor Congress has any au-
thority 10 prescribe the qualifications Of elec.
tors Of these States"
The resolution, after an exciting debate
was reiected by a vote of l44 to Co. the
Democrats passing it, and the Republicans
against it. The latter refuse to sustain the
President.

a VOICE FROM THE GRAVE.
A Military Trial for UnIadylike
Conduct.

A Miss Lattemer, of Edgefeld, Tennessee
has been arrested, sent to military prison
nd is TO be tried by Military Commission
for "unledyike and inexcusable conduct
The story, with all the necessary words of ag
gravatiou, is told, by a loyal writer, in the
following paragraph:
TEARING DowE UNION FLAG -Miss
Emma spirited and rebelous young lady
the daughter of Mr.. Lattemer, the proprietor
of boarding house in Edge6eld, Tennessee,
on the 4th Of July, became highly incensed at
a Union flag displayed on her fathers prem
ses and ruthlessly tore it down, and would
have trampled it under feet, had not Lieuten-
ant Adams, who witnessed the outrageous pro-
ceeding inteifered The Lieutenant took the
flag from the excited young ady's hands and
returned it otis original position The up
shot of the matter Was that Miss Lattemer
was arrested for her unladylke and inexeu
sable conduct by the military authorities. She
was sent to the military prison and will be
tried by Military Commission. Miss L. is
about twenty years of age is in robust health
aud is said to bear some traces of beauty.
Miss Emma did foolish thing undoubted.
ly She ought to have known enough of the
Parson Brownlow,to have kept out Of so unre-
munerative an enterprise. But what shall we
say of the dignity and sense Of those who, for
an act of female petulsnce send young lady
to repose in the filth and vermin of q military
prison, and from thence to the Judgment Of y
court organized to convict What does this
testify OF the magnanimity and selfrespect Of
people who have just emerged from con
test with great aud crowning victory One
of the very unfortunate effects Of the late
scenes OF strife, is the violent feelings which
they have instillod into the women of the
country We have unsexed our women; and
the extravagances in which they Indulge here
ought TO enable US to look with some indul-
gence upon the extravagances elsewhere
As Ia fitting companion to the foregoing,we
copy from the Ohio State Journal, the follow.
ing story Of an act very "unladylike aud in
excusable, performed by one of the sex, on
this side Of the Ohio and which is thought
by some, to have been an exceedingly lauda.
BILE and dignifed performance
On 1undaY last a Mrs Huested preacher
OF the Society of Friends who resides m Ma,
ron County, Indiana, visited the Ohio Peni.
tentary, and, by permission of the Warden,
preached to the inmates. AT the conclusion
of the services, she called upon many of the
convicts in their cells besought them to re-
form, and condoled with them upon the cir.
cumstanees that placed them in DURANGO vile.
Among others who claimed her attention was
Bowles, the Indiana conspirator, who received
the following bit OF consolation: Friend
Bowles, I've known of thy conduct well, and
| am glad to see thee here. Our wise rulers
placed thee here to answer for thy sins, and
hope they will keep thee here for the term of
thy natural life = Cincinnati Enquirer.

swore falsely as to Mrs. Surratt who he

s.The Jnblio am coming 2,

The sncaking manner in which the Re-
publican party Of Ohio disguises its pro-
iects, is brought ont strongly by contrast
ing itwith the out-spoken honesty Of the
party in the State OF Iowa, where the mas
ses, as well as politicians, have been
educated mp to the full measure of man
hood in human progress, and are evi-
IDENTIFY able to eat strong meat.
The fourth resolution, as reported from
the Committee Of Resolutions and adopted
by the Iowa Republican State Convention,
is Ms follows
4th Resoiped, That with proper safeguards
to the purity Of the ballet box, tie elective
franchise should be based upon loyalty to the
Constitution aud Union, recognizing and af.
Jirming the equality of alimea before the lao
Even that was not regarded as strong
enough.
Mr.. Russell, editor of the Davenport
Gazette, offered the following amendment
to the 4th resolution, which was offered
as a minority report from the Committee
on Resolutions
Therefore we are in favor of amending
the Constitution Of our State by striking out
the word white" in the article on suffrage"
The vote on the amendment was 5134
yeas, 2421 nays.
The Dayton journal, edited by w. d.
Bickham-Among a few other Republican
presses in Ohio--has the manly honesty
to come ont openly and above board, in
advocacy Of negro equality. It's editor
apparently sides with his party in Iowa.
and is not to be prevented from openly
advocating the doctrine intended to be
proclaimed by the Ohio Convention, when
it perpetrates the solemn joke of re-enact-
ing the Declaration of Independence. We
observe that they were careful, however
not resurrect that other public docu-
ments, once considered equally good read
ing, known as the Constitution of the
United States.
The Dayton Journal evidently under
stands the convention to say, that all men,
black aud white, have equal political
rights guaranteed to them by the Declara-
tion of Independence We SO understand
the platform. If this is not correct, can
some one tell us what particular object
the Ohio Convention had in view in pro-
posing the declaration as part and parcel
Of party creed, or what portion of that
instrument they propose to construe in
a sense not hitherto considered indisput-
able by all mankind. The Dayton
journal construes the platform rightly, or
it means nothing.
The Radical leaders of New England
and the Northwestern States have always
controlled the party, and given expression
to its sentiments. Their word has been
law for it in the past. So oitwill be in the
future. Every vote cast for that party
from this day will be vote in favor of
negro suffrage and negro equality.
Black and white, ring, streaked and
sheckled, at the polls, in the jury box,
in the public schools, at the bar, in the
pulpit, on the bench, and in the hall of
public council, African wisdom is hence
forth to make and interpret law, gospel
and science, for the governance and en-
lightenment of the benighted Saxon,
Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and American races.

Rather Pointed.

The Fremont Messenger, edited by j. S
Van Vakenburgb, who was a soldier under
General Cox, goes for the General in the
following pinted manner:
cox
The negro voters candidate has very
short name and much shorter tame. Our
recollection OF Cox ia distinct The first time
that we ever knew that there was such au
important individual as Brigadier General } =.
Dolson Cox in existence was 10 the early
stages of the rebellion when the Administra.
tian kept fifteen thousand men lying at Camp
DeRnison to put down a lot of rebels who
were some three or four hundred miles away
1t was when the camp was first started; mud
was plenty as manya fellow will remember
We we're sitting on a stump cogitating. A
fellow on a horse, in shining epaulettes, white
'trowsers,' kid gloves and dainty boots came
riding along He saluted neither us nor the
stump. We saw nothing remarkable about
him except his extreme ioppishness We
asked who he was and was informed that it
was Brgadier General J. Dolson Cox, com
mauder of our brigade After while our
boys, the old Seventh, began /, get out of
clothes and the mcst Of them had nothing to
wear save pair of Government drawers At
the qusrtermsster there were plenty Of
clothes as there was plenty OF wine and brandy
at the head quarters of Cox, One day a
ragged squad" was parsding and happening
to pass before the eyes of Cox he gave orders
that they should be put on extra duty for
insulting him The next military exploit
that Cox performed was in Western Virginia
when he ordered Colonel Tyler to take the
7th regiment to Cross Lanes, although he
knel0 there we're some Eve thousand rebels
there. The result was the brave Seventh was
cnt to pieces. We don't believe the friends
of the boys who went down there will clap
their hands much for Cox. There are many
things Of mismanagemeRt and tyranny during
his West Virginia reign The real cause OF
his nomination was not to reward him for
services in the Geld, but because he werl.to
school at Oberlin, studied with negroes, ate
with negroes, and in all human probability
slept with them and, withal, is in favor Of
negro voting Holmes County Farmer.
