Fruit Growing.

yMEssRs ED1roBs:-There has been
much lecturing and writing on fruit
growing and orchard planting, but
very little of it is practical. Our
farmers cannot 60 to the" Nursery

careful, plant same day &C., neither
have they the time, money or oppor-
tunity to.prepare their ground ac-
cording TO the Horticultural method.
Their ground is in good farming con-
ditionAut that is all, and their trees
are, mostly sent from a distance, the
roots are somewhat dried up and
bruised when they arrive. Now my
plan is to put the tree in the shade
for at least twelve hours with the
roots submerged in water, this soft

to regain their natural shape, take

"A POrcinc Joke.

A good story is told of Mr..
Sayre, of Lexington, Ky:
Mr.. Sayre lisped a little, and a
good joke is told of him, the better
for it's truth. Some years since an
oversecr of one of his farms told him
he needed some hogs on his place.
Said Mr.. Sayre: f.- .-'
every well, go and buy four OF
five thouth and pigs right away, and
put them on the farm
The man, accustomed to obey,
and that without questioning, asked:
"Shall take money with NE to
purchase With"
"No, thir. They all know me.
Thend them hcre-I'll pay for them
or give you the money to pay when
you get etthem.<
The overseer went his way and in
two weeks returned, when the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
"Well, Mr.. Sayre, / can't get
that many pigs. 1 have ridden all
over the country, all about, and can
buy but between eight and nine
hundred"
"Eight or nine hundred what?'
Eight or nine hundred pigs"
"Eight or nine hundred pigth!
Who told you to buy that many
pigth? Are you fool?"
"You told me to buy them two weeks
since. I have tried to do it,
"Eight or nine hundred pigth.
My God! I never told you any thuch
thing!'' ''
"But you did-you told NE to 90
out and buy 4 or 5000 pigs!''
II didn't do any thuch thing! My
God! I told you to go and buy four
or five thows and their little pigs,
and you have done it I thould thay."

MOngrel Morality.

The case of Gov, Stone of Iowa,
whose testimony was recently taken
before an investigation committee Of
that State, affords a notable exam
pie of Mongrel morality. Gov. Stone
6rst testified before a committee Of
his own party in reference to fraud
Of one Of his political friends, and
was afterwards placed under oath to
testify in the same case, when he
fatty contradicted all his previous
testimony. On being called upon
to explain the reason of this singular
contradiction, he said that he regard
ed his first testimony as being Of u
purely political nature, and he was
not therefore bound to tell the truth,
while under oath he felt obligated to
do so. If the Governor Of a State.
who has been several times re-elcct-
ed, gives such conspicuous public
evidence of a willingness to lie de-
liberately to save political scoun-
drel because leader in the Radical
party, is there any longer room for
doubt as to the secret machinery
through which that party is man
aged?

What Congress has Done.

An eastern newspaper thus sums
up what congress has done toward
the restoration of the Union: lit
has organized an army Of $4,000
men, divided the south into five mil
itary districts, placed five brigadier
generals in control Of it, created an
anomalous tribunal, acting indie.
pendent of all law, organized the
freedmen's bureau and placed four
millions Of negroes under it's tute-
lage, silenced the civil courts, sub.
jected the whole country to martial
law, authorized the four million
blacks to vote, disfranchised twice
that number of whites, invented in
geniously devised aths to hamper
the suffrage Of the remainder, and
instructed this motley and mongrel
constituency to remodel the organic
law of the several states, and sub
nit such constitutions as they may
frame to their supervision, criticism
and approval"

Chief Justice Chase is growing
"disloyal,'' says the St. Paul Pio-
neer. He questions the power of
Congress to take the appointing pow
er out of the hands of the President
and require him to appoint Registers
in bankruptcy. The Registers will
have fat Offices, and it will not do
to let the President appoint them,
so Congress proposes to put the ap-
pointing power in the hands of Chase.
Chase demands that the question of
the powerrof Congress- be submitted
to a full bench ofthe Supreme Court,

The Release or speedy Trial
OF Jefferson Davis De-
mOnded, ~ ,.nI

The following is the original Of
the preamble and resolution offered
in tho United States Senate on Fri
day, March 22d, by Senator VIII
SON, of Massachusetts,: ,r.
WHEREAS, Jefferson Davis, a
citizen of the State of Mississippi,
was captured by a military force in
the service of the United States, on
the 18th day of May 1865, and has
since been held in confinement as
prisoner of war and as a prisoner of
State in Fortress Monroe, Virginia;
and =, -, no /
WHEREAS. The said Jefferson
Davis stands charged on the highest
authority with the heinous crime of
conspiracy to murder the late Pres
ident Of the United States, Abra-
ham Lincoln, and is also indicted
fort treason; and II.
WHEREAS, The said Jefferson
Davis has pcrsistently declared lis
innocence of the offences charged
against him, and, through his legal
advisers, by all means known to the
law, has sought and demanded a
speedy and a public trial, by due
process of law, before a civil tribu-
nal Of competent jurisdiction; there
fore
RESOLVED, by the Senate, the
House Of Representatives concurr-
ing, That the longer confnment of
the said Jefferson Davis, without a
a trial or the assignment of a specific
time of a trial, is not in accordance
with the demands of Justice, the
spirit Of the laws, and the require
mcnt of tho Constitution; and that
in common justice, sound public pol
icy and the national honor unite in
recommending that the said Jeffer-
son Davis be brought to a speedy
and public trial, or that he be re-
leased from confinement on bail or
on his own recognizancc.
This movement comes from an
unexpected quart e1tj; and be the
motive what it may, it places Chief
Justice CHASE in the close quarters.
If that functuary shall longer delay
putting DAVIS on trial, the rcsolu-
tion declares that "common justice,
sound public policy and the national
honor unite in recommending that
he be released from confinement on
bail or on his own simple recogni-
zanco. IF. 3D..

The New Oregon PLA1N-DEALEE
grows HILARIOUS over the fact that a
negro boy was suspended between
the heavens and the earth, at Cres-
co, for stealing ten or twelve dollars
from the money drawer of his en-
ployer. The PLAIN DEALER comes
out with half a dozen display lines,
and evidently regards the affair as a
good joke. No objection can be
made against the legal punishment
Of the offender; but it appears to
US that. there need be no necessity at
Cresco for calling out mob to exc
cute justice. Had the offender been
white boy, he would not have been
dealt with as was this friendless ne
gro boy, or had he been so dealt
with, the people of Cresco would
have been denounced for allowing a
mob to take justice into their own
hands. But the color of the boy
changes the complexion Of the affair
in the minds of many. In a neigh
boring village few months ago a
white boy robbed his employers s
money drawer and fed. He was
pursued, overtaken, and what money
remained, secured, but instead of
Furnishing the offender, he was talk
ed to and advised to do better. and
the affair hushed up. How much
better for the people of Cresco, and
the poor, friendless negro boy, had
the same humane course been pur.
sued in their case -Clermont Lead
CT.
0 pshaw had the offender been
Of any other color than black in this
community, he would have paid the
penalty of his rashness by becoming
a tenant of the county Jail for about
three mouths. AS it was, the boy
was uninjured Judge, we assure you,
he having firmly stood upon his heels
as We told the world in our article
upon the question, all the time be
was suspended-the suspense being
the only punishment. But the most
serious ground Of complaint we have
is that having appended postscript
requesting our exchanges to locate
the affair south of Mason & Dixon's
line,, the LEADER locates it in this
county. Please make the correct
ion Judge or else tell the world you
have been beautifully sold, that no.
body was hing.
