DO You See ut Now?

The Huntingdon Globe recently declared
that President johnson was not empow-
cred to punish treason, and that Congress
was to be blamed for not causing Jefferson
Davis to be punished. We published the
Globes article entire, so as to DO it DO in
justice. In last weeks issue, it replies to
our structures and gives unjust extracts
from them. The pith of the G!oJes last
article is that the Attorney General is the
person to indict jefferson Davis or any
other leading rebel, that the President
has only power to execute the law after
conviction, and cannot bring an offender
TO trial, and also that Attorney General
Speed is radical and we must defend
our own color These points we shall
answer, beginning with the last and end
ing with the first.
Judge Stapsberry, of Ohio, 'NIy Poli-
cy' man, is Attorney General, and has
been for nearly two months. Have you
been asleep, Globe, or only Smiling"
right often
The President, as the first Executive
officer of the nation, has power to bring
offenders to trial, aud especially Jefferson
Davis, for he is confined in Fortress
Monroe under charge of assassination
preferred by President johnson, and as
Jcyona ths reach IF any court an the land
being held as a State Prisoner.
1t is perfectly proper for the Attorney
General to indict Jefferson Davis or any
offender against the United States, and
it is equally proper for :he President to
direct him so to do, for he is the legal
adviser of the President, and to IA great
extent within his control.
We will further add that Congress has
no power whatever to bring an offender to
trial, except in cases of mpeachment, nor
in any case to cause his punishment after
trial. a United States Court could direct
the Attorney General or one Of his subor-
diuates. to indict jefferson Davis, but
wha: would be the use of so doing while
Jefferson Davis is beyond the the juris-
diction OF any civil court in the world !?
The GIoJe says ''Why does Congress
keep the Southern people out of the
Union 2" We will let Andrew johnson
give the princiPa!JPart of our answer for
the reason of denying the right of repre-
Scn.ation to the Southern people: 81 say
!tat the traitor has ceased to be a citizen
and in joining the rebellion, has become
d public enemy" Such, we apprehend, is
the reason Congress has in justification
of its course Andrew johnson required
certain guarantees of GOOD faith from
these "public enemies" before he could
consent to re-admit them to the rights Of
citizenship, and Congress, not recognizing
the Exclusive jurisdiction Of the President
in the wsrk of reconstruction, says that
his conditions are insufficient and proposes
to require other additional ones. We
hope you are answered now

ikeen 1he Rest Nlock.

An exchange truthfully says;.-Somc farm
ers are in a habit Of selling their best live
stock, and keeping tho poorest to breed
from, This is bad management. lla farmer
has good COW, she is worth as much to
keep as to sell. The same applies to all
other stock, The rule shuld be, to keep
the best and sell the poorest, We will
illustrate case as follows: Farmer A has
n COW that gives 30 quarts of milk u day,
from which 3 lbs. of butter are made in u
week, worth 30 cts. per pound, He also
has COW that gives but 10 quartz, from
which four pounds of butter only can be
made in week, One COW he values al
$50, and the other at $40. He sells the $50
COW and keeps tho other for his own uae.
Now, let us see how the account will staud
in regard to the profits from these COWS
The best COW produces lbs. of butter a
week, say from May lst to December lst--
80k weeks-274ls lbs, at 30 cts.--SS2 35,
The other COW produces in the same time
l22 lbs. of butter, at 30 cts, amounting to
only 500 60, which is Si5 20 profit less than
the best COW affords II costs, in this case
the same to feed each COW, and it is safe to
say, that the advantage in Keeping good
cows over poor ones i not improperly
shown in the above statement. A farmer
actually throws away from S2j to $40 each
season, when he sells first rate COW, ano
keeps poor one in her place

The value OF Corn Cobs.

a II IL a yexed question: about which much
has been written and said, pro aud cor,
whether it pyys to grind aud feed the cob
wifi the grab to stock. While some feed
ors argue that there il great profit in feed.
ing tlpe cob and corn combined, others con.
tend 1that tho cob is positively injurious TO
cattle. There is doubtless snme nutrinent
in tho cob The juices that make the solid
grain all pass through it; and in unmatured
crops, there is probably richer substance
remaining in the cob than when the corn ia
sound aud we'll riponed, Hence, we should
infer that 1t would pay better to grind un-
sound, OF uunatured corn and cob together
for feeding purposes, than sound and fully

Our processes, for preparing food for
stock, are not yet so perfect that wo can
hopo to utilize, with profit, all tho nurmcnt
in our crops. There is some in tho hard

such shape that our stock may eat it

likewise with corn cobs. II the greatest
quantity Of the fool given TO stock is in u
rich aud concentrated form, like ground
grain some, ooarser fool must he supplied
to fuCnish the requisite amount Of bulk which
the animal system demands to insure di-
gestnn. The ground cob might answer
this purpose. So might pulverizsd butts
ur the stalks, but straw, hay, or tho leaves
aud husks of the stalks, are, in our iudg
nent, better than either. The general
appetite of animals is commonly good aud
sure indicator ot the Kinds OF fo,d that are
healthy and proper for them and we thinl;
IL would be a difficult matter to induce stock
