Seeding Fruit Trees.

There seems to be nm erroneous opin
ION, very generally impressed upon tho
minds of our countrymen, that Peaches,
Nectarines. and the stone. fruits, particu.
larly, do reproduce themselves. We Of
ten hear men aver that they or their IA
ther, or some one else, planted Peach
seed and thereby obtained exactly tho
same fruit as that planted. II this
is the case, then all the eminent horticul.
t1rists of the present and past centuries
have not only labored in rain, but have
actually proven themselves to be only
set of deluded chuckleheads. Now We
will not deny the fact that In some rare
instances almost or quite an identical
same Peach, Plun, Nectarine, or Apri-
cot may be, and have, undoubtedly, been
produced by n chance seed. But let me
assure you it is indeed ofrare occurrence.
/ am of opinion that the average is about
one in one hundred, not more surely and
perhaps good deal less than one to the
hundred. Indeed, my own experience in
planting several hundred peach and plum
seed, several years ago, resulted in TO.
tai failure to obtain a single one Of the
original fruits, seeds of the Elmira, tho
Serate, Early York. and the Heath Cling,
all three fine Peaches, and none resein-
bled the parent stock or was even what
could be termed a passible good peach;
and after nursing my delhsion for four
years cut them down and planted, in their
stead, genuine budded trees of not only
Heath Clings, Elmira and Early York,
but about eighteen or nineteen other varie-
ties of Peaches obtained from the once
splendid nursery of Thos. Affect, Of
Mississippi. In each and every tree SO
obtained, my expectations were fully re-
allied. The result was that soon pro
duced peaches that charmed the beholdcr
and sold readily in the market at four or
five times the price that could be obtained
for the very choicest seedlings that could
be found in the country. Therefore, let
none deceive themselves for the future,
but 60 and purchase the budded trees and
raise choice fruit at once, instead Of mis-
erable, poor, sour seedlings. 8 -

ED- Gratz Brown, one Of the Sena.
tors from Missouri, swallows the "nig-
ger" wool, crooked shins, and all with.
out groaning. The following is an cx-
tract from speech Of his: TT
lido not desie to take any part in this
debate, and should have probably said
nothing but for an allusion which drop
ped from the Senator from Kansas to 4
bill which was PISSED by the last Con-
gress in regard to guaranteeing to certain
States, whose governments have heen
usurped or overthrown, arepublican form
Of government" and the, implication
which fell from him that the gentlemen
on this side the Senate were guilty Of
stultifying themselves in now contending
for suffrage for the colored race as one Of
the essential guarantees in reconstructing
these States. / desire in justice to my
self to make this statement that when
that bill came from the House of Repre-
sentatives at the last Congress, and was
pressed upon us here, containing as it did
feature in it which excluded the ne.
groes in the Southern States from suff.
rage, ], for one, announced myself az vt,
terly opposed to the bill ! furthermore
stated on the floor Of the Senate public
ly that would never vote for that bill
or for any other bill reconstructing those
States that did not guarantee to that cl.sa
of citizens, the loyal cOlored population
of the South, right Of suffrage. I de-
sire to reiterate that statement to day. sir,
and to say that by no possibility and at no
time and under no circumstances wiU Icd1
my rote for restoring those States to their
original status in tie Union and admitfing
back here their Senator'S to participate -
our legislation until suffrage shall hars
been granted to that class Of people. ] be-
lieve no other reconstruction will give
peace to the south, security to the north.
or permanent and contented' union TO
both sections, to all classes and to every
race. SO much for my own position"

"That on Tuesday was the first case
Of cholera, since which 100 cases have

She was ordered off by the Government,

found impossible to proceed. She now

Another Constitutional Amendment

"Brick " Pomeroy has a,peculiar fac
ulty of mixing irony with saelss AS an
instance, we give the following extract
from his paper; az
An exchange says that another amend
ment to the Constitution has been propo-
sed by one of the Committee OH Recon-
struction, and will be presented to the at.
tention Of Congress. 1t will be read
nearly as follows:
ARTICLE CXXXIv.--That no State
shall be admitted to representation in
Congress until, by provision embodied
in its fundamental law, it pledges its citi-
zens never to claim restoration of any
pianos, watches, tinger-rings, spoons, silk
dresses, books, pictures, sideboards,
wines, liquors, carriages and other port
able property, which may, at any time,
under the pressure of military necessity,
have been transferred, shipped, removed,
or carried away from their residences,
cellars, outhouses, grounds, or stables
and delivered into the care and keeping
of loyal citizens of New England, and
other loyal sections of the North, and
all persons claiming or asserting title to
any such portable property so removed,
shall be excluded from the basis of rep
resentation, and be forever disqualified
from holding any office Of trust or prof
it under the State or General Govern
ment
Ben Butler, and all his petty imitators,
endorse this amendment, and claim that
it will materially aid in crushing out dis
affection at the South, and secure the
rights to property described above, now
held by those who found and confscate it,
and thereby aided in putting down the
rebellion" Several northern clergymen,
in possession of valuable libraries OF
books conquered from the enemy, also ia
vor the amendment, and solemnly declare
that it is necessary measure to secure
the continued success of the 4" God and
morality party, and no one will oppose ii
but Northern Copperheads, Southern
traitors, and the supporters of that 'bad
man Andrew Johnson. la Crosse Dem

The fanatical Legislature of Wisconsin,
says the st. Louis Republican, regardless
of the will of the people of that State, as
recently expressed in. tremendous ma
jOrity rgainst negro suffrage, passed res
olutions instructing Senator Doolittte to
vote against sustaining the President s
veto of the Civil Rights bill. Mr. d.,
on Friday last in speech of great pow
er, examined the provisions of the veto
ed bill, and showed up it's enormities in q
mast able manner. In concluding, he re-
ferred to the instructions of the Wiscon-
Legislature and said:
Mr.. President, l have received, in
connection with my colleague, tele-
graphic dispatch from the Governor of
the State of Wisconsin, which have no
doubt is correct, although have not
seen the resolution which is said to have
been passed by the Legislature, in which
it is stated that the Legislature has pass
cd a resolution instructing the Senator'S
in Congress from Wisconsin to vote for
the passage Of the Senate bill commonly
known as the Civil Rights bill. the veto
of the President to the contrary not
withstanding. l have already stated from
my stand point, why, in my judgment, !
cannot do it. have stated them freely
and frankly, and, as matter of course,
expect to abide the consequences. ]
know it has sometimes been said to me,
by those, too, in whom / would have con
fdence, that for me, under circumstances
like these not to follow the instructions
of the Legislature of my State, would bt
to terminate my political life. Sir be i
50. / never held or aspired to any othe
office politically than the one
now hold; and God knows, if ! know
my own heart, if can see this Union re
stored after this gigantic war which has
put down the rebellion, and to which
have lent support, / shall be satisfied.
do not desire to remain in political lif'
beyond that hour. There is nothing il
that which will have the slightest infu
ence whatever uponme. The duty which
I owe to myself, the duty which l owe t(
the country, the duty which I owe to th'
Union of these States, and the duty whicl
| owe to the great Republican party which
! would still desire to save, prompts M
to pursue the course which now do.
Il do this with no disrespect, whatev
er to the honorable gentlemen who vot
ed for that resolution in the Legislatur
Of Wisconsin. respect their opinion
as those Of honorable men. But, sir,
, believe that standing where l | do, se
what they do not see in the exciting cri
sis OF our beloved country They, like

ny Of those through the South who ar
interested in preserving the present dis
