A Gentle Hint.

We publish on the outside Of TO-DAY 5

Ohio, ostensibly on the resolution refusing
admittance to members Of Congress from
seeded states, until Congress shall declare
such State entitled TO Representations; bat,
which Is really an attempt to tone down the
popular Indignation against the President $
speech Gu the 22d of February. With re-
gard to the latter speech. We agree fully

AsJO senator Sherman's speech, We deem

Of the 9th ult., will timed:
"Mr. Sherman, Of Ohio made a speech
yesterday in the Senate on the resolution
passed by the House. excluding rebel claim
ants from seats in Congress, till Congress
shall have passed on the question of Recon

Sherman's speech-SO much as the telegraph
sends us-we are wholly at a loss to know
whether Mr.. sherman is for that resolution.

An Important Vote.

The Senate. 10y a vote of ayes -. nays 10,
has adopted the concurrent resolution which
passed. the House some days ago, and which
declares that no member of Congress from
an insurgeut Southern state shall take his
seat until Congress shall declare such state
entitled to representation. The resolution
being concurrent does not require the sig
nature Of the President We trust that
body. having taken this action, VIII con-
time to maintain lis dignity and sclf-re-
spect, and, avoiding unseemly wransles
with the Executive, will seek TO adopt such
measures as shall be for the best good
of the republic, securing to 1t the blessings
OF impartial liberty and permanent peace.

ANOTHER CALL-The Senate has again
passed resolution calling the President
for the correspondence between himself and
southern Governors, and for such other Of
heial documents rs he may have in his pos
session touching the workings of his recon
struction policy. This is, We think, the
third time be has been called upon for this
information, and he has as vet refused 10
respond TO it. If the workings Of his re-
construction policy in the South are so ex-
ceedngly favorable as he would have the
country believe, those documents should
shed some light upon the matter That
they are not forthcoming gives rise to a
suspicion that he fears to give the people
an inside view of the workings Of his
system.

4 meeting has been called, in Perry Coun-

the negroes. The call is signed by ex-Gov-
ernor Moore, the Hon. j. L. M. Curry and
other prominent citizens The convention
of the Southern Baptists, now in session, at
Russellyille, Kentucky, have also taken the
subject into consideration, and adopted a res
ofution encouraging the establishment. of day
schools for the negroes. They also recon-
mend the education Of colored men for the
ministry. We have heard Of similar steps
being taken elsewhere, and we believe that
but for the injudicious action of the Freed

/ CucUMBERs.-The following, which, we :

who are so fortunate as to have gardens
Cucnmbers, like almost all vegetables, and
fruits, are a luxury in their season. They
are employed in making pickles more than.
other products of the garden. To raise many
cucumbers: 1. Never take fresh seed of last
season, but always take seed tive or four
years old. y Who cannot get d.seed, should
have his fresh seed dried near warm stove.
during several weeks. Some gardeners, in
order to obtain this end, carry their seed in
their pockets. Old cucumber seed will bear
earlierand more fruit. Fresh seed will make;
weak plants, and is longer in germinating.o5
