How the Tables Stand.

The Johnson fusion party have to
gain at least twenty members of Con
gress to give them control over legis-
lation by the veto power. Seven
states have already voted, among
them those in which the most was
expected, and Johnson has mot gain
ed q member. 1t is no longer posi-
bic to constitute bogas House,
composed in part of ex-rebels unable
to take the "iron clad oath" The
struggle is virtually ended. The
Amendment will be adopted by the
south, and better feeling follow.
There will be no war abous Recon.
struction. Johnson can do no harm,
beyond removing union lacn from
office and appointing corperheads.
Even this he will give over. We
doubt if Randall makes any more
removals. Decentralization Of the
Johnson party will folloSr. Some
will take to hard drink, some to ex-
IRENE radicalism, and ecci in his
own way swing round the circle. 1t
is the worst collapse ever attempted.

Fall Removal of Fruit Trees.

fence most approve the fall removal
of fruit trees from the nursery, and
their burial in the ground during win.
tor in some dry place, covering the
roots and tops entire, the roots rather
deeper than the tops.
Its claimed that trees so managed
visibly do better in starting to grow
earlier, in leafng out from all the
buds, = less liability t. take the black
heart and that the roots take better.
Also, that men have more time for
such work in the fall than in the
spring
We have never tried fall removal
and bury ng trees, and have no ex.
perencc to offer.
Any time, from the present till
later will do for such work, only that
freezing of roots out of sround is ia
tai to them; consequently the worl,
must be done at time when the air
is not freezing cold; and in the re-

be used tolkecpthc roots from drying.

with the several delegates, in that
Convention in making such nomina
tons, did then, and do now fully
indorse the action Of said Conven-
ton, and nothing preventing shall or
the day Of Election cordially support
the candidates there put in nomina
ton.
Now as far as accepting a nomi-
nation made by any convention, OF
permitting my namo to be used as I
candidate for q County office at tht

and positively decline, and hope i
will be so understood By all ny
friends, and the voters of Grant Go
