Tha Memphis Riot.

As one after another the facts connected
with this bloody affair become public, the evil
dence grows clear that it had its origin wholly
in the hatred engendered by slavery toward a
despised and subject race. 1t is another out
break of the same spirit which showed Itself
in New York in 1868, and more recently in
the horrible butcherieS in Jamaica. A squad
of colored soldiers, having been paid of, took
too much liquor, and were noisy, as white SOL
diers have been known TO be. There is not
the slightest evidence to show that they were
doing any damage, but the police interfered,
a quarrel ensued in which the latter were
plainly quite as much to blame as the soldiers,
and one or two persons were killed on both
sides. Thereupon, the city authorities, in
stead Of instituting a proper inquiry, and bring
ing all the guilty parties, white and black, to
answer for what they had done, proceeded to
serve out arms to the bloodthirsty mob, and
commenced an indiscriminate slaughter of
the defenceless colored population. Negroes,
wherever found, were shot down in cold blood,
and the torch of the incendiary was applied
without mercy not only to their dwellings but
to their churches and schoolhouses. Eight of
the latter were burned. Quiet citizens going
about their business, teachers peaceably in
structing their pupils, women in their own
homes surrounded by their children, and even
babes in the cradle. were set upon by these
white savages, and shot, stabbed, and horribly
mutilated. A colored officer, who had served
with honor in the war, and who had nothing
whatever to do with the disturbance, was
dragged out of his house and brutally muir
dered. How many innocent persons were
killed before the savage fury of the mob was
glutted it is impossible to say, but the number
is large. a"2
No person, however, who is not wilfully
blind, can fail to see in these events the fruits
of that disastrous "policy" which under the
guise of magnanimity sacrifices the innocent
in order to propitiate the guilty, and abandons
the weak and helpless to the ferocity of the
cruel and the strong. We have been accus-
toned to fatter ourselves that four years OF
dreadful war had gained for us some advan-
tages, that human rights were to be more safe
and sacred among us henceforth; but ii things
like this are to continue, the costly price has
been paid in vain. The government should
make a prompt ard terrible example of the
guilty parties in this affair. Only by bring
ing them to stern and instant justice can it
prevent the repetition of scenes at which hui
manity shudders, and which would be an inef
faceable blot upon the Civilization" IT,

Planting Pines.

Can our white or yellow pine trees be rails
ed from seed? A friend asked me this ques- |
ton the other day-a gentleman of good ru-
raj taste, who desires'to grow pinery on his
ample premises-and for his sake, as well as
for that of others who may prefer to plant,
rather than transplant, our common pines,
either for use or ornament, will proceed to
answer the question afirmatively.
The cones on some trees, but not on ALL
because a few only are fruitful full of
small seed, which will vegetate as readily as
acorns or beechnuts. A practiced eye can tell
whether the cones have seeds in them or not.
There is a peculiar fulness about them, and
the color is tinged with purple. Those which
are ripe, in autumn, may be collected dried,
threshed out and the seeds separated from the
chaif by a sieve. The seeds are very small
not much larger than mustard Seeds Ihey
should be sown in autumn, and the loose
haulm upon the ground be raked over them
lightly. This will prevent the seeds drying
up, and keep them moist till spring, when
they will vegetate without further attention,
and young pines win appear in great numbers.
In conversation with gentleman OF my
acquaintance, not long since, he remarked to
me that, few years ago, he was in one of the
interior towns of Massachusetts, where an Old
farmer had large scrubby pine tree standing
near the roadside A.man, who knows frult-
full from barren cones, came along one day
and asked him if he would like to sell that
tree. "No," he replied; cit has stood there
great while, and / believe will not have it
cut down; though its wood would not be
worth five dollars to me, / would not take
double that sum for it," "But," rejoined the
stranger, "iciu you take ten dollars for it ?"-
The offer was tempting one; the old man
thought moment, and replied, "No; but il
you will give metweive, you shall have It,
No sooner said than done. The money was
planked, and the tree was his. Calling Tor an
axe, he cut it down the same hour, and went
to work gathering all the cones from its limbs
This DONE he told the old gentleman he had
secured all he wanted of the tree, and he was
quite welcome to the five dollars worth Of
wood or timber there might be in it. He car
ried the cones home, extracted three quarts Oh
seeds from them, and sold them, agreeably to
previous contract with dealer for whom he
was gathering valuable seeds, for no less than
sixteen dollars per quart! Thus he realized
forty-eight dollars by his speculation-quite
snug little sum to acquire by his knowledge Of
the subject
The seeds may be sown in nurseries, and
the young trees transplanted therefrom; but
in my own experience have found that the
common white or yellow pines are more likely
to fail in consequence of removal, than most
other trees. The best time to transplant
them, as also arbor vitae, spruce, fir, or cypress,
| is in midsummer. TRAxI.

AN INVALUABLE SPRING MEDICINE
DR.. ]. W. Poland's Humor Doctor.

This excellent medicinal compound was first pre-
pared by DIR. p in 1s47. and was then employed with
great success in expelling humors from the blood;
bnt in 1s4S, medical friend, who was quite celebrate
mors, suggested some important improvements,
whichwere adopted and which have made it ESQ the
people sayl the very test emedy for all kinds OF hui
mors known to ''the faculty." This preparation is
composed wholly OF vegetables. among which are
Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, Burdock, Noble Pine,
Mandrake, SIENNA, and Bloodroot. Suffice it to say.

Equal Suffrage.

The constitution provides that, "No State
without Its consent, shall be deprived of its
equal suffrage in the Senate" The historic; |
fact cannot be denied, that the States not now
represented in Congress, not only consented
to this deprivation, but insisted upon with
drawing their representatives. They are now
without representation in the Senate by their
own free will and deed. To former presen-
tation of these facts in the Press, the Adcer-
tiser replies ~
We feel called upon to knock this infantile
idea of the Press, that because Georgia de-
clared herself out of the Union, therefore she
ioas out, and so the equal suffrage in the Sen
ate, has not been taken away without her
consent. -V 5l l8 t5aiase Fl
The. consent of the State went for
nothing, and the constitution remained as un-
impaired as ever. Has the constitution been
suspended by the act Of Georgia ? If not, as
soon as the State was out of rebellion, the
privileges and obligations were restored to the
State.
The inference that because Georgia de-
clared herself out of the Union, therefore she
was out" is none of ours. The Republican
party has never for moment admitted that
any State could 60 out of the Union, except
by violent and successful revolution. But
is of no use to dispute factsl The Constitu-
ton remained unimpaired, but the consent of
the State went fer a good deal more than moth
ing. The Constitution does not compel States
to send Senators to Washington. Vermont
wa, temporarily deprived of equal suffrage in
the Senate by the death of Senator Foot. Ev-
cry day some State is deprived of its equal
suffrage by absence or sickness of Senators.
1t is of course understood that the States con-
sent to these inevitable accidents. If nothing
could be done except in full Senate, legislation
would come to stand. The Southern States
consented to rebellion, thereby deprivi,Ig
themselves OF representation in the national
councils. Nobody proposes to deprive them OF
an equal vocie at Washington, now the rebell-
Ion is over; but if they are by their own act
left without representation for a longer time
that States SO left by ordinary accidents, who
can wonder, and who is to blamee
