FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1866.

The expulsion of Dir. Stockton, of New
Jersey, from his seat in the u s. Senate,
with the purpose in view and the manner Of
its accomplishment is the most disgraceful act
in the history of Legislative bodies. The
radicals desiring to acquire a sufficient ma
jority to carry any of their pet schemes over
tile veto of the President, bcthought them
selves of their power to weaken their oppo-
nents by the expulsion of several of their
number This they set about to do. A flaw
was picked in the election of Senator Stock
ton, and the matter referred to the Judicia-
~ Committee for investigation and report.
This Committee reported him * duly elected
and entitled to his seat The vote being
taken on the report Of the Committee. result
ed in one majority for its adoption, when Mr..
Morrill,, who had paired off with Mr.. Wright
of New. Jersey, then absent, arose and re-
quested that his vote should be recorded in
the negative. Mr.. Stockton, in considers
ton of the absence Of his colleague and his
inability to be present, and the falsity of Mr..
Morrill,, also requested his vote to be record
ed in the affirmative, still making one major
ity for the adoption Of the report. A great
commoton was raised by the ever ready Sum-
ner, over Mr. .Stockton's voting for himself,
and his vote was finally stricken off, and the
report failed to be adopted. Under ordinary
circumstances, Mr.. Stockton would have felt
dclicacy in casting bis vote, but in view Of
the facts, casting aside his own feelings and
regarding only the rights of his State, he pur-
sued the proper course in casting his vote for
the report Of the Committee. We arc sorry
to say that the same can not be said of Mr..
Morrills course. Having paired of with an
absent member, unable to be present, and
truer to party than principle, as evidenced
ty classifying his pledge, he cast his vote at
the bidding of his superior. This is the first
instance Of the kind, we believe, in which a
United States Senator ever violated his faith
and a moro disgraccful act we hope never
again to record. It is probable that Mr.
stockton's place will not soon be filled to the
liking of the radicals Mr. Scovcl, (Repub
lican, of the New Jersey Legislature, by vo
ting with the Administration party, has de-
fcated the proposition to 60 into the election
of Mr. Stockton's successor. If he stands
firm the Vaccinations of the radicals are, to
some extent, thwartcd in an unexpected qua:

We publish on our first page to- day, the
Presidents veto of the Civil Rights Bill Its
searching analysis Of the bill, showing up its
unconstitutionality and its tendency to sub
vert, if not destroy the rights of the States
will strike almost every one with amazement,
that even The reckless Congress with which
we are cursed, in the face Of the veto of the
Freedmen Bureau bill, could have the hard
ihood to pass another bill, if anything. more
unconstitutional, unjust, and calculated to
sap the foundation Of our Government and
destroy the liberties of our people. While
the partizans in Congress arc thus endeavor-
ing by every means to override the Consti-
tuition and subvert the policy Of the Govern
ment, there is some consolation to the patriotic
in the land, that there is at the head Of af
fairs 4 man, who has the courage to oppose
the mad schemes of the dominant party in
Congress, who seem determined to rule or
ruin and perhaps ruin if they continue to
rule The veto of this bill, from what we
can learn, does not displease the Conservative
Republicans The New York Times Gre
publican) whose Editor, Mr.. Raymond, is a
member of Congress, thus speaks Of the We
to: re
{" 1t may be hoped that arguments 50 CO.
gent as those employed in the message will
not be thrown away 1t is not every day
that members have an opportunity of listen
ing to reason and common sense. They may
find this appeal seasonablc and acceptable
change. Be that as it may, the President S
message will be read and studied outside Of
Congress and everywhere throug hout the civ
ilzed world and wherever it is read and
studied, the American name and character
will be elevated in so far as Andrew john
son is held to represent the American peo-
rle."
The Washington correspondent Of the same
paper, says:
Mr.. Bingham, who is probably the
ablest lawyer in the House, says that its le-
gal objections to the bill arc unanswerable !;
but he does not attach the same Importance
to its political positions. 1t shows the tenac-
ity with which the President adheres to his
political convictions, and demonstrates the
futllity of trying to coercc him into acquies-
ccnce with the radical theories concerning the
condition and status of the Southern States :"

BULLET Poor CLorH.-It is announced in
the Belgian newspapers that a certain NJ. Ber'
nard has invented species of cloth which is
bullet proof At a recent shooting festival
in Belgium he submitted it to one Of the best
possible tests, by standing fire himself at a
hundred yards distance, after first showing
that he had nothing under his bullet.proot
cloak but ordinary clothing. A conical ball
from rifle struck him in the breast, hatten>
ed aud fell at his feet, and picking 1t up he
exhibited it to the astonished spectators.-
His face was covered with steel helmet,
and the cloak reached to the ground. Not
yet haring secured patent for his cloth, he
of course, would not permit any one to ex>
anime its texture closely. Such is the report
that comes to US in late foreign mail, and
if true, the famous !'neede gun" has met its
match.

The Cosmos relates an interesting experi>
ment, which proves the service rendered to
agriculturists by moles, and the impolicy Of
destroying these little quadrupeds:
In n commune of the canton of Zurich,
the municipal council were lately about to
proceed t. tue selection OF a mole catcher,
when NJ Weber, distinguished naturalist
laid before the board the following facts: NJ.
Weber had carefully examined the stomachs
of fifteen moles caught in different localities
but failed TO discover therein the slightest
vestige of plants or of roots, whereas they
are filed hv the remains of ascaris or easih>
worms. NJ. Weber. not satisfied by this fact,
shat up severa' moleS in box containing
sols of earth, on which fresh grass was
growing, and smaller case Of grubs and
earth&worms. In nne days two moles de-
voured 34l white worms, 1873 earth worms,
% caterpilars, and a mouse. skin and bones,
which had been enclosed while alive in the
box. NJ. Weber next gave them raw meat,
cut up in small pieces, mixed with vegeta-
bles the moles ate the meat and left the
plants. He next gave them nothing bu:
vegetables; in "a hours two moles died of
starvation. Another naturalist calculated
that two moles destroy 10000 white worms
in single year.

How TO MAKE GOOD BUrrER.-Leo. OF
Raymond, y. IL, writes to the Rural New
Yorker:
at is well known fact that a good loca-
ton aud cleanliness are among the ,rost
essential points in making good butter. Every
dairy should be located that il may be cool
and shady, with good draft of air circula>
ting through it. A large dairy and wen filled
ought TO be the moss" of every farm house.
As soon as the milk is brought in it should
be scasded, as we get more cream aad better
by so doing. Batter comes better and is not
SO liab, to be scft and sticky As soon as
taken from the churn it should be thoro u yhly
worked left until next morning and worked
again. Next salt in the following way Take
two quarts of good salt, one o1nce Of sugar,
one ounce of satpeter Use one ounce of this
composition Tor one pound OF butter. 1t
should be stamped and left to cool before put.
'tingi it in jars. Bntter prepared in this way
should not he used for two or three weeks.
You will find that your butter will be very
fine. as it will have no brittle or salty look or
taste. BY following this course your butter
will keep the year through, in warm as well as
cold weather"

AGE OF SHEEP-How DErERMryED.-"The

teeth. They are eight in number and appear

by two large ones. In the third year a small
tooth on each side. In the fourth year the
large teeth are six in number. In the fifth
year the whole front teeth are large. In the
