THE NEW YORK HERALD is fairly earning
the distinction of being the most radical Jour

Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner are
In strange contrast to the following recon-
mendations in its issue of Wednesday: --
President johnson has said that if there are
but five thousand good and loyal men in one
OF these disabled States they are enough for its
reconstruction. Congress, then, in law pro-
vidlng for certain organic Safe elections, and
defining, as the President has done, who shall
be voters, with the power and authority given
TO General Grant to enforce the law in these
elections, may very readily overcome this afore-
said obstruction of caste and color. Some such
legislation, beginning at the bottona is evidently
demanded for Southern reconstruction. The
interests of the South, the North, the Treasury,
and of the whole Union, demand this legisla-
ton. Beginning the work of reconstruction,
then, de nouo, Congress, in an enabling act, has
only to weed out the impracticable secesh and
fre-eating elements of the States concerned,
and to put General Grant on gnard, in order
to make the work of Southern restoration as
simple as the rule of subtraction The first
essential is to accept the self-evdent facts that
the Presidents work of reconstruction is an
embarrassment, that Congress mast begin al
the beginning, from Virginia to Texas, mas
much as the rebellion, from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, though disarmed, still remains
to be subdued. sf f.I ~ -

sugar, II OF. of potash, IL OF. of saltpeter. In
this ratio the pickle is to be increased to any

until all the dirt from the sugar rises to the
top and is SKINNED off Then throw it into a

till at least two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly sprinkled

find it to answer well, though the operation
of boiling purifies the pickle by throwing off
the dirt always to be found in salt and sugar.

abandoned: There is none that surpasses it, if
any so good. Scientific american -
