When you first came to my room and made the

of my ever being helped out of my then seeming

Bees and their Queens.

Experiments were tried by Huber to as
certain how hive of bees would behave
to a strange queen, after they had lost
their own. He removed the native queen,
and after few hours he introduced a
strange queen into the hive. The bees
which mount guard at the entrance OF the
hive, Immediately seized her and made
her a prisoner, precisely as they would
have done if their queen had been still
among them. They did this each time
the experiment was repeated. An inter-
val of sixteen hours was suffered to elapse
from the time they discovered the loss of
their queen, and then strange queen was
introduced to the hive. She was treated
precisely as the other had been, as were
also her successors in similar experiments;
but in some instances, where they sur
vived the pressure, want OF air and hunger
for several hours, they were allowed to
assume the position Of queen Of the hive.
Twenty four hours were then suffered to
elapse after the queen had been taken
away, before a foreign queen was put into
the hive, and instead of being made pris-
of Joy, and at once accepted as their
queen; evidently they had arrived at the
conclusion that, from the length of time
that had elapsed, there was no chance OF
their own queen coming back. 1t must
have been from the reasoning of this way,
because it was always the case, that il
twenty-lour hours had passed since she
disappeared, the new queen was received
with respect and obedience.
A very striking instance of this is related.
The lawful queen was removed at a time
when she was busily engaged in laying
eggs. Aftera time the news spread through
the hive, and the usual CONSERVATION pre-
vailed. They were left in this condition
great many hours, their agitation being
the greater that no new queen was ready
for release from her cell; in fact, none Of
the royal cells had been built. They
therefore proceeded to enlarge some of the
cells containing the eggs of workers. A
stranger queen was then introduced, and
directly she entered the hive, those who
guarded the entrance, instead of making
her prisoner, received her with the great
est respect and satisfaction. They ap-
preached her, and touched her with their
antenne, and gave her food. The news
began to circulate through the hive that a
new monarch had arrived, and the bees
kept pouring in, all of which drew near
in succession, and performed the same
ceremony.--.W The Year Round.

Protection to southern Lovalty.

The Memphis Daily Loyalist states that
at a recent meeting Of old citizens at Wal
nut Hill Mississippi, resolutions warning
those who did not 90 into the rebellion to
leave that section Of the country at once.
we're adopted. a memorial from Nashville
now on its way to Washington, sets forth
that such is the feeling in that State. that
il those who were in rebellion, obtain con-
troll ofciyil affairs there will be no safety for
loyal men IN that State, and that, rather
than this should happen, they would prefer
that the State should remain under. proyis-
lonal, or even gn:litary government, for some
time to come. Soon after hostilities ceased
it Is well known that open military rule was
relaxed and the civil courts opened: the first
use made OF them by pardoned rebels and
sympathizing secessionists was 70 institute
prosecutions against Union men, and espe-
clally against those who entered the military
service Of the United States, for damages
Willing judges and complaisant iuries have
been found 10 award and enforce these claims
1t was to put an end to these prosecutions
and to protect loyal men from these annoy
ing prosecutions that Lieutenant General
Grant issued his order of the 18th.
There is no doubt whatever that the ha-
tired OF the men who, living at the South,
remained true to the flag, is more intense
than toward the blacks or the whites of the
North. The manifestation of disposition
to persecute and hunt down these men is
calculated to increase the difficulties that be-
set the work of Reconstruction, already suffi-
GENTLY involved Whether the States are
in or out of the Union; whether they are to
be rebuilded from the foundation, or restored
on the old theory that they have simply been
out of their proper relations to the Federal
and good men may differ, but there is no
division Of sentiment as to what is the plain
duty Of the Government toward those who,
through evil and good report have adhered
to it. They will be protected, though civil
government is not restored in the Southern
States during the next twenty years-Cia-

same length of time while bearing the same
rate of taxation.
This we believe to be the nearest approx
imation possible at present to the true spirit
of our common school system. With this
view of the subject we shall await the ac-
ton Of the legislature, with the hope Of
seeing it acknowledge the true and funda-
mental principle of our school system, and
make the richer portion of the State assist

instead Of as heretofore making the poor

SHALL THE WHITE TRAITOR
VOTE AND NOT THE LOYAL
BLACK?

Judge King has decided that persons
who eVaded the draft or deserted from the
military service of the United States are
legal uoterS. This is Just what the Demo
Gratis claimed them to be. How bitter pill
this decision must be for those Abolitionists
to swallow, who beloved so loudly against
the reception of 'sSkedaddler' vote" at
the last election. - Bedford G,1zette, Jauu-
arg 26, 1866.
It was entirely work of supererogation
for the Gazette to tell us that its party
claimed deserter votes to be legal. We
learned this significant fact during the late
campaign. But we do not intend to discuss
this matter at present, we design to contrast
with the above a second quotation from the
same issue. In speaking of the Republi-
can delegation in Congress from this State
who voted for Negro Suffrage in the Dis
triet of Columbia, the earnest, ardent, and
jealous supporter of the right of traitors to
vote, who controls its columns, thus relieves
himself of the last months accumulation
of bile:
Let those names be handed down to the
l0tSSA bOotCAAtgs On LLG lOl VI GNeTidSllI1g lQ-
fanny, as those of traitors to their race, enc
mics to their country, and breakers of the
law OF God, which separates socially and
politically the white and black people.
Reader, which do you think is entitled to
vote Doyou think that the traitor who
eYaded the draft, or deserted from the mill
tary service of the United States, to or
ganize resistance at home; to shoot at our
enrolling officers; to burn the property of
Union men; and to encourage others to de-
sert is entitled to all the rights that you
are2 And, if he is, do you not think that
the honest colored man. who voluntarily
entered the army and gave all his assist
ance to crush the rebellion is also entitled Z?
If the traitor, the curse of his country and
his children shame, shall have vote why
shall not the patriot by all his country S
wishes blest, have the same rights? VIII
the Gazette tell us why traitor should vote
and not the patriot?

JupGE Kings DECISION.

In another column will be found the decis-
ion of Judge King on the deserter's vote in
Franklin county. The point, on which he
sustains the motion to quash the petition, is
that the Federal and State constitutions both
provide that s'No man shall be deprived Of
life, liberty or property, unless by the judg-
ment of his peers or the law of the land. y
With the highest respect for Judge King S
legal ability, as well as his personal merit, we
cannot, but think that in this case he has al
lowed his personal aversion to the discharge
of disagreeable duty to bias his Judgment
The act of Congress, disfranehising deserters,
certainly does not deprive them of life, liber
ty or property. But it is in the nature of
outlawry and authorizes similar proceedings f;
in fact almost exactly follows the proceedings
in similar cases provided, by the laws of Eng
land as well as those of our own State.
When we remember that outlawry is only
resorted to where the erininel can not be ar
rested and brought to trial and punishment,
and that this was the precise case of the de-
serters, the absurdity of requiring them to be
arrested and tried by jury of theirpeers is at
once apparent. The Judge askes SIS there
any dearer right than the elective franchise
and is that left entirely without projections?
Which may be answered by asking, is there
any greater crime than treason and shall it GO
unpunished? However much we may admire
Judge Coulter's . | am a citizen Of PennsyI,

words II am an American citizen.
