CoRN AS FUEL.-We understand that
many Of the people of Warren and other
towns in the east part Of this county are us
ing corn for fuel We had a conversation
yesterday with an intelligent gentleman,
who has been burning it, and who considers
it much cheaper than wood. He says that
corn in the ear, gives considerably more heat
than the same bulk Of wood Ears of corn
can be bought for ten cents per bushel by
measure, and seventy bushels worth seven
dollars, viii measure a cord. A cord of
wood, including saving, costs nine dollars
and a half, which is two dollars and half
more than the cost of cord of corn, hesides
the fact that the corn produces more heat
than the wood If these statements are
true land we have no reason TO doubt them,
there Is no fuel more economical than corn
The crop of corn this year is far beyond the
demand, and if it is cheaper than any other
article for fuel, we can see no objection to
using it as SUCH Gdlend IN Gazette

windows into this rare and beautiful room.
There stood the young man who had been
her employer, with young girl resting
her hand in his, promising to love and
honor him for life; and it is said that up

Mr.. BOTrS ON SUFFRAGE AND OFFICE
HOLDING. The Washington correspond
ent Of the New York Times, having had
an interview with John Minor Bolts. says: !:
"He is not satisfied with the policy
adopted by the government in regard to
suffrage. He thinks it unwise to restrict
the right of voting by requiring too strin-
gent oaths. He would have the right of
holding office restricted a great deal more
than it is, so that no man should ever
hold office, South or North, who has not
always been thorough, uncompromising
Union man. He thinks Congress should
make law by which every man should
be required, as condition of holding any
office in the United States, North or
South, to swear that he had never done,
written Or said anything to prejudice or
injure the authority of the government of
the United States, nor in any way, by act
or word, given aid, comfort or encourage
ment to its enemies. This would keep all
the powers of the government in the hands
of loyal men. and Mr. Bolts thinks it quite
as much needed in the North as in the
South, for he says the copperheads in the
North have given more aid to the rebellion
than thousands in the rebel states, and are
far more dangerous to the future peace and
welfare of the-country."
Mr. Bolts opposes negro suffrage for
the present, because he believes the ne
groes, till better educated, would be likely
to vote according to the wishes of their
employers, who, for the most part. would
be their old masters.
