THE DAILY EMPIRE.
From the Hartford Conn Times.
Negro Suffrage.


Not satisfied with the verdict which the
free States, so far as they have voted upon
the subject, have rendered against negro
Suffrage the mad men in Congress are
pressing that issue upon the people, and are
attempting to make II a condition preec-
don't upon the Southern States Of their adj
mission 10 the halls of Congress-
"A number Of propositions have been In
troduced into the lower House Of Congress
10 amend the Constitution, abolishlng all
Inequality between the whites and blacks,
aud To extend suffrage 20 all cOlOTs, but not
toall sexes. These fanatics would make
the African equal with the white men. but
would not make the white women politi-
cally the equal of negro men. They are
black mad.
iAt the North. in the Middle States, and
at the West, the people have spoken against
negro suffrage In AN emphatic manner. At
tine polls in Colorado. Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Iowa, they voted 1t down. In Connec-
tiGut they defeated II as emphatically. In
New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennskl-
vsnia, and other States, the Republicans
trampled upon it in their Conventions, and
the Democrats opposed IL.
In the face of these glaring results, the
deetructives In Congress would force negro
suffrage upon the South, where the colored
race are universally ignorant and below
thu colored men of the free States. The
New York Times of Dec. 10 says:
SThe only power which Congress has
upon this matter of securing freedmen
suffrage is the power of proposing an
amendment 10 the Constitution to that end
We doubt whether there Is member, In
either branch, visionary enough to imag-
ina IL to be possible to obtain the ratifica-
tien of any such amendment by three
fourths of the States. Not one of the latt
slave States would ratify it of their owr
accord, nor would one-quarter of the othei
States, for the simple reason that more thar
three-fOurths of them exclude colOred mei
from their own ballot-boXes and II woult
be monstrously unjust for such States Il
compel the Southern States to an electOra
system they themselves are unwilling q
adopt. IL the Northern negro, who has al
ways been free, and had opportunities TO
mental improvement, is deemed unfit Il
vote by the Northern States, they are in NJ
position to insist that the Southern negro
whose faculties have been kept dwaTfe,
aud benighted by lifelong slavery, shall b
admitted to the Southern polls"

A Clerical Belligerent.

We find the following in an Ohio ex-
change:
Two members of religious congrega-
tion in Toledo had falling out the other
day, and came to blows at last. A friend of
both went for the pastor of the church, who
came, lectured the parties, and left them.
No sooner was his back turned than they
went at it again. He was called back, and
while he was demonstrating with the bel
ligerents, one of them "sassed" him. Where
upon the clergymen turned in and thrashed
the fellow soundly. The pastor belongs to
the '1church militant" 'r s"l

mob of expert pickpockets, who went
through a number of passengers in the most

their skill was DrJ. II. Wright, ofthe United

FARMERs AND FARMING.

A prominent public man at Washington
writes me: 81 envy you the delights of your
farm, and long to get back to mine There
is a pleasure in farming which those who
have never engaged in other pursuits do not
appreciate. l pity the man who has no love
for agriculture or horticulture. There must
be something radically wrong in his consti-
tuition. Depend upon it, he cannot be much
of man. Of course he may wish toengage
in other pursuits for the purpose of making
money But if he prefers to stand behind
counter and measure out dry goods or
groceries, and thinks it more respectable"
than cultyating the soil, he either lacks the
instincts Of a gentlemen, or is weak in the
upper regions. I would not walk ten rods
with such man if I could help it, or have
any intercourse with him further than was
necessary. I should expect him to say
something that was disagreeable
t'But farmers are not all gentlemen. y
True. Some of the most conceited and dis
agreeable men ever knew were farmers.
But such men, however much they may af-
feet to despise those engaged in other pur-
suits, have no real love for agriculture and
no genuine self.respect. Ignorant, preiu
diced, without culture, Inbred, selfsatisied,
with low tastes and sordid desires, they are
incapable ofappreciating the dignity of then
avocation. - Geaessce Farmer.

the state of things here on the Western ke-

why there are 50 many failures in farming IS,

pretend to be farmers. Another great reaz

FoUTZ's CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Powders.

These Powders have proved, after trial of sew
eTal years, to be superior to any preparation Of
the kind in use The chief superiority of these
powders arises fIom the fact that they compos-
ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative elects crudi-
ties from the stomach and inestines the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous and
healthy circulation. The use Of them improves the
wnd strengthens the appetite and gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin-thus improving the
appearance, vigor aud spirit Of this noble animal
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders arc to bloat the animal, to give him the
appearance Of being fat when not really so-but

health.

LIVE AND DEAD WEIGHT IN SHEEP. The
English rule is to weigh sheep when fatted,
and divide the weight by seven and call it
quarters. Thus, sheep weighing one hun
dred and forty pounds, would give twenty
pounds quarter as the dead weight. IF
the sheep are in good condition, this rule is
sufficient for all purposes. Poor sheep win
fall below the mark, and extra fat ones go
over it
