DIRECTIONS FOR TRANsPLANTIN FRUl1
TREES If your trees are dry and wither'
ed, when received, buryatheta entirely ir
tolerably dry, well pulverized soil, and LEI
them remain there until they have recov-
cred their plump fresh appearance. Afew
buckets of water thrown upon tho roots
when buried would be a decided advan-
tage, especially if the trees have been long
out Of the ground. When ready tor plant
ing, dig the holes from two to three feet
in diameter md at least one foot deep. In
this hole set the tree. and while one holds
the tree in an upright position. let another
work in around the roots with his hands
enough good and finely pulverized surface
soil to fill the hole nearly full. A bucket
of water she uld now be dash in around the
collar or body of the tree so as to settle
the dirt we'll in about the large roots, and
then the hole entirely filled up with good
soil, which should be gently pressed in a.
round the tree with the foot, so as to hola
it firmly in an upright position. If the sea-
son should be late. or the succeeding sum-
mer be q dry one. the trunk of the tree
shouldpb be wrapped in straw or " Broom
sege,.' to shield them from the rays of the
sun, and the ground as far as the roots ex-
tend, at least, covered with two or three
inches Of straw or leaves to keep the SUR
face ofthe soil ceol and moist. If the sea-
son be very dry an occasional watering
will be necessary. .f2s
There are foar thing thatmust not be
neglected, viz LIST. To pare with a sharp
knife the ends of allthe broken orbruised
roots. ID. Totrim the top in proportion
to the loss of the roots. Sd. To place
every root in its original position. 4th.
To plant the trees just as deep as it stood
in the Nursery. In the case of Dwarf
Pears an Apples the stock should be at
least an inch beneath the surface.

Violation OF the Registry Law

The Registry law in all parts Of tho State
seems to have been openly violated BY
Swann's "liberal" constructionists. Tho
registering officers, in some Of the districts
of this county. continued to place the names
Of voters on the lists up to the day of clcc.
ton. acA without being at the place appoint.
cd for such Official business We heard Of
one Of these officers shutting up bis Office on
one Of the days named in the law for the
transaction of such business; and we heard
again of others carrying the books round
the district and registering men at their own
houses and in the fields and highgays.-
These, it will be borne i'll mind, are repre-
sentatives Of the party that is always heard
talking Of Constitution and law.
The following paragraph, taken from a
correspondence letter from Baltimore to the
Press, develops still further swapp's villainy
through unprincipled registrars:
Large frauds by Swann's registrars have
been discovered. The names of many Rad.
icat loyalisis, registered in 1865, have been
omitted from ihejadges' transcriptby Swami 8
registrars. In one precinct Of the Sixteenth
ward twenty Radicals who voted at the
mayors election were refused the right of
Suffrage because their names were not on
the registry: In that precinct, Phelps, the
Copperhead candidate for Representative in
Congress, received anajority ofsix. Twelve
votes in each precinct wonld have elected
Stewart over bin, aud in the one have Just
cited he would have had fourteen majority.
II is the intention of Mr.. Stewart to carry
the case before the House Of Representatives
at Washington and secure justice.
