which The court sustained Any means of de-
feating Southern participation in the election
establishes their domination for six years from
the 4th Of March now at hand, II Is all one
to them whether the new Law is set aside or
sustained decision either way is equally
favorable to their wishes, provided the South
does not meanwhile reorganze under the new
law. If the South waits to test it and get
decision on IT, the Southern States are excluded
from the Presidentialelection any way. II, by
the death of a conservative Judge, the law
should be sustained, and the South should
then acquiesce, it would be too late to take
part in the Presidential election, since the new
constitutions could not be presented for APP
proyal until the winter following.
Shermans bill varies the situation, by an
unequivocal Congressional pledge that the
States shall be restored on their compliance
with certain clearly defined conditions. No
such pledge was made in connection with the
Constitutional amendment passed at the last
session. The Southern States might have
ratified that and yet Congress might have
excluded them without violating any explicit
promise Both schemes were artfully con-
trived for staving off restoration as their main
object, and charging the blame of postpone
ment upon the South as their minor object.
1t is the policy of the Republicans to block the
wheels while making a bustling pretense of
trying to move them. BY shrewd calcula-
tion, based upon a pretty correct knowledge
of Southern opinion, they succeeded last year;
and by calculation equally shrewd they are
in fair way to succeed again. By rejecting
the amendment last year,st South risked
nothing. But the approach of the Presiden-
tial election makes time so important an ele-
ment, that delay of single year will cost
the conservative cause all the Southern cleo
toral votes.
True it is that no lapse of time can change
the question of constitutional right; but rights
avail nothing without remedies and if no
remedy comes through the next Presidential
election, from what quarter does the South
look for onea Is the conservative cause so
superfu uously strong that it can afford to throw
away sixty or seventy electoral votes Time
and events have brought things to such pass
that if those votes are worth saving they
must be saved by Southern action this year.
Far be it from us to dogmatze or dictate; the
South is Just as free to refrain from action as
it is TO act. But there is tide in the affairs
of men," and it is for the South to Judge for
itself whether there is prospect of compen-
sating advantages, sufficient to Justify it in
Withholding its assistance in the Presidential
election.

Seward was successfully accomplished; the
points Of negotiation and treaty were es-
tablished with President Cabral; and within
the present week an official agent has arrived
in this country bearing a preliminary treaty
which has received the sanction Of the legisla-
tive and executive authorities of San Domingo,
and this preliminary treaty will presently be
submitted, if it has not by this time been sub
mitted, to our Government.
This matter is one Of very high Importance
to the United States-important in reference
to our commercial interests, and to our present
and future position as great and self-defensive
power. We trust that no obstacle will inn
pede the consummation and ratification of the
treaty, and our acquisition of this West Indian

Private adyices which we have just received
from San Domingo lead us to believe that the
late Seward Porter mission to the West Indies
was by no means such failure as it was has
tily proclaimed to be 10y those who knew
nothing whatever about it. In fact, no one
need be surprised if we should speedily earn
that it was a success in all its parts, and that
the scheme was not one hastily and crudely
formed, but was the same scheme which had
long attracted the attention of our Govern
ment, and which the Secretary Of State him
self put I'm the way of consummation during his
visit to the West Indies year or more ago.
! When Assistant Secretary Seward left An
napohs with Admiral Porter on Government
vessel, IN January last he was rightly reported

I'm Memoriuu

among those who volunteered at the begin
ning OF the war was CHARLES A. WARREN of
Standish. Eniisting as private in the 18th
Maine he was wounded in the battle Of the
Wilderness on the 9Th of May, 1864. Literally
drawn from the field on a stretcher by Lit Stur-,
gis, assistant surgeon of the regiment, he was
conveyed to Armory Square hospital where he
remained, receiving all the attention the cir
cumstances would allow, for about thirteen
months, when early in the summer of 1865, he
was removed to his home in Staudish.
1t is a remarkable fact, evincing degree of
patience and resignation almost incredible,
taht as a body tie Union soldiers in our several
hospitals were wholly uncomplaining, even
while suffering intensely from wounds or dis
ease contracted from exposure; and it was a
reply from almost every patient when asked by
the chaplain of Armory Square rospitsl as to
his health at the moment-"Oh, / am first
rate" Noble utterance from noble hearts,
Living or dying may the blessing of the AL
mighty rest upon them and their memory ever
be cherished.
Mr.. Warren gained little or no relief from his
wound, but remained confined to his couch
constantly suffering yet patient and uncom-
planning, until at last on Friday the first day
of the present month, in the full assurance of
glorious Immortality, at the age of thirty-two,
death ended the scene. The funeral services
held on the following Sabbath, were attended
by a large concourse of mourning and sympa-
thizing friends, ard were conducted by Chap
lain Jackson and Rev. Mr.. Pickctts
The death of Union soldier is an event
whic.. should not be suffered to pass unpoticed
By patriotic people. Though great gain to
the subject of this brief notice, yet his death is
serious loss to the family and immediate
friends, to the country and to humanity. In
the midst of peril, when the fate of the nation
was regarded as extremely doubtful, the pat
riotic, self-sacrifcing and heroic services of the
soldier for the Union were in a measure prop
erly appreciated, and our hearts beat in uni
son with his noble endeavors to save the ma
| ton. But now that the rebellion is crushed,
and the Union saved, let us not forget the in
strument under God of our national deliver
| ance, or fail to bear in grateful remembrance
the patriotic services so freely rendered.

Some one has sent the writer three neat
little pamphlets, In blue covers, entitled,
Facts and considerations in relation to
genuine article of Super-phosphate of Lime,
made by the Cumberland Bone Company
We have spoken favorably of this Company's
Fertilizer before, as more honest and valua-
BILE article than any other in market, and our
good opinion receives. confirmation strong
from the Facts" stated in the pamphlet on
our table. Besides directions for the use of
the super phosphate, the tract opens with a
catechism on the requisites of successful farm
ing, by which it appears that Phosphoric Acid
and Nitrogen are the most essential and valua-
bic constituents of manure, and that these are
obtained to the greatest extent in finely pulyer-
lied raw boues-bones which have lost none
Of their chemical properties by being either
burned or Steamed, ,-and that even our com
mon barn-yard manure contains but one two
hundredth part Of its weight in these essen
tials, the rest being chiefly water and woody
fibre, which are of but little use by a removal
to the cultivated grounds. ,is.3s .t
80 The Company consists mainly OF farmers in
the county of Cumberland, Maine, who orig
inally commenced the preparation of this fer
tilizer for their own use, but at length, finding
general call for the same good thing, they
were legally Incorporated, and have establish
ed mandatory at Duck Pond, near Port
land, where they intend no super-phosphate
shall be offered but that which is true and
perfect article. When we say that S. 2. Good
ale, Esq. the Secretary of the Maine Board of
Agriculture, is its managing director, every
body will know that this pledge may be relied
upon. Certificates of its great utility are ap-
pended to the pamphlet. They are all from
responsible and welLknown gentlemen
mostly in our own State . ahl- I'D.
1t is claimed for this super-phosphate, that
it gives a quick and vigorous start to the
young plants; that it promotes luxuiriance of
growth throughout the season that it greatly
increases the product, and though last, not
least, hastens maturity, so that the crop is Sc
cure from frost, from one to three weeks
earlier than without it. In this latitude of
short summers, If all this time can be gained
in the maturity of crop, the article would
seem to be peculiar blessing to Maine
The company are determined to sell their
preparation just as low as so good an article
can be afforded at very small profit. The
prices are for any quantity less than ten bar
rels, cents per lb.; for ten barrels and up
ward, SIS for a ton of 1000 lbs. For corn,
$50 or 400 pounds per acre, sown broadcast,
is enough; for potatoes, from 250 to 300 lbs.
