ILegIsIating n State Out OfExist-
...- r.N emce. 49,.


LeglsIatfng n State Out OfExist-
s-s U ence. ss.l
The bill which passed the House on Tues
day by a atwo-thlrds vote providing that the
present State Government Of Louisiana
should be superseded by Provisional Gov
ernment, virtually legislates State out of
existence. 1t takes from the State every
right it hitherto enjoyed as State. Itdis-
franchises the great body Of the White cit
liens and makes voters out of the Negroes.
And this is done under pretensc of furnish
ing a stable and orderly Government to
Louisiana. This thing is to be enforced ct
the mouth Of the cannon and at the
point Of the bayonet If need be,
though If the Supreme Court could be
brought to pass upon this piece Of legisla-
tion any ways quickly, 1t would be pro-
ductive of no particular annoyance, for
that Court would undoubtedly pronounce
It unconstitutional, as It clearly Is. Congress
hasjust as much right under the COnstitu-
tion-no more and no less-to supersede
the Government of Ohio with Provisional
Government and to disfranchise large
portion of our voters and make voters out
Of the Blacks. To all it Is known
that such an attempt with regard to Ohio
would be usurpatiOn most gross. 1t won't
do TO say that months q. there occurred
in New Orleans bloody riot, and that.
therefore, the civil authority there existing
Is inadequate, and It Is the duty Of Con-
gress to intervene and establish Govern
ment for the whole State. Who, outside Of
lunatic asylum that should not be in 1t,
viii claim II a riot were to occur in CincIn-
nail, bloody and deadly, that by reason Of
THAI riot 1t was obligatory upon Congress
to provide Provisional Government for
OhioP Not one. Yet this Is the principle
Congress has acted on In regard to Louis
lana. In sooth, this legislation Is nothing
more than short cut to tiisfranchising the
Whites aud making voters out Of the Blacks
in louisiana. Admirable reconstruction,
truly. Admirable way this to pIacate the
country and set business fairly on its feet.
One Of the chiefs who lei on to the dIsman-
Ting Of Louisiana as State, is Hon. s.

A WILD CATSToRY.-Ac correspondent
of the Columbia (TenD.) Herald, writ
ing from Waynesboro, tells the follow
ing:
A rather strange circumstance occur
red few miles from this place 4 Geek
or two ago; the family Of Mr. Jacob
McMillen were aroused by the bawliDg
Of q calf in the yard near the house.
Mr.. VI. went out with his gun, accom-
panied by his wife with light. On
arriving at the place Of action, they
saw a huge wildcat attempting to kill
the calf. He leveled his rife and fired.
The shot missed, and the cat sprang up
on him aud his wife; they retreated into
the house followed by the furious animal.
IL sprang upon Mrs ~, tearing her arms
and biting her hand dreadfully. IL
then Jumped upon a child; aud at last,
after a gun and several chairs were
broken in the skirmish, the animal was
killed in the house. 1t had wounded
t~o calves aud killed several chickens,
and the night previous COW was badly
hurt near Mr.. MeMillenis house, sup
posed 70 have been done by the same
cat. This is one of the most wonderful
cat stories / ever heerd, bnt its truth
cannot be doubted. -

Rowing ms an E,erci.,

The Philadelphia Ledger says: As q
part of physical education, and means
of recreation and improving the health,
athletic sports are very properly recon-
mended. Bnt in this, a. in all other
matters, extremes are to be avoided,
both in regular gymnastic exercises and
in out door sports. The greater the feat
of strength, the greater the danger from
overstrain or undue persistence. We
would just now instance boating,
which is becoming favorite amuse-
ment on both sides of tho Allan
tic, as requiring care and expert
ence in indulgiDg in it. Its chief and
more immediate effects are on the mus
cles and other parts concerned in res
piration. Ii has been calculated by
Professor Haughton, of Dublin, that the
actual amount of work done by q prize
crew in forcing an eight-oared racing
boat at the rate of one mile in seven
minutes is equivalent to lifting up
eighteen and half tons one foot high
in the same time. The work done here
is by no means great, and the strain, in
idCl, 10 hob 80 uluCIi oii lHt IHuoCiCo do
the lungs and heart. This strain is not
great, and can be well borne by prize
boats crew from one of the univcrsi ties
or colleges. The danger in boat racing
is TO hundreds of youths, in schools and
colleges, whose frames are altogether
unfit for such exertion. We may
take, for example. the youth arriy-
ing at Harvard and Yale Colleges,
whose medium height is five feet eight
inches, with girth Of chest under
thirty-three inches, and there are some
with girth of chest of only twenty
eight inches. The chests are so yield
ing that after a months boating aD sx-
perienced eye can tell at glance on
which side (bow or strOke) the youth
sat Great injury is yearly done by
such injudicious work TO numbers Of
Young men, who would have been vast
IL benefited by a;jadfcious physical
training. The so-called scratch races,
which are made up Of met who have
had no training, is the worst of any.
Apart from the physical exertiOh and
strain, the races in cold weather or dnr-
ing a raw easterly wind, bring with
them other dangers. Yonng, growing
lads are seen stripped to thin Jersey
shirt, rowing day after day, six boat
races, needless themselves and not
properly advised by older heads Of the
risk of getting rheumatism, pleurisy,
pneumonia, sore throat, etc.

Gen. N. B. Buford, one of the special
commissioners appointed to visit Da
Gotta and investigate the Fort Phil
Kearney massacre, has returned tC
Washington. After full and very
complete 10 pvestigation, General Buford
says there is no necessity for the Indian
war, and there would be none if the In.
dams were protected from the rapacity
and rascality Of frontier settlers, whose
interests are to bring on war and sup,
ply our armies with subsistence at ex-
horbitant prices. In fact, the present
war which is upon us, is nothing but =
raid upon the Treasury Of the United
States by the frontiersmen and army
These men band together
and make false reports of alleged mas
sacres by Indians, and then call upon
the Government to send troops 10 pro-
tect them, when in fact they only ask
for them that they may grow rich frsm
the supplies furnished them.

DISSOLvING BoNEs.-Bones dissolved
or reduced by any process, are one OF
the best manures, and every farmer can
save and dissove great many each
year if he will only set about it in the
following manner: Get large cask or
box-a sugar hogshead is as good as any
thing-set it ont where it will catch all
the water that falls, and into this throw
your bones and ashes as fast rs you
make them; the ashes should be the
greater bulk, so that the bones will be
completely embedded in the ashes. The
rains will keep the mass moist, ana the
lye will act on the bones, and complete
ly dissolve them from six to twelve
months. Should there not be enough
rain fall TO thoroughly moisten the
whole mass, chamber lye shOnld be add
ed, or water sufficient poured on to
make up the deficiency. There should
be two casks or boxes, so thai when the
one is full it may stand while the other
is being filed, and in the meantime the
bones become thoroughly dissolved.
Some say that littl5 caustic lime adj
ded to the ashes helps to dissolve the
faster. This have not tried, but the
former | have, and know it to be a
good thing; and would advise all to
save and prepare t he bones on their
farms in this simple, easy and inexpen-
sive way.-E. 4. Riehl, in Farmers Id
rOcdte.

An INVALUABLE RECIPE.-"A recipe
worth one thousand dollars" So says
the Ohio Cultirator: Take one pound of
salsoda and half pound of unslacked
lime, put them in gallon of water and
boil twenty minutes let it stand till
cool then draw off and put in stone
jug or jar; soak your clothes over night,
or until they are wet through, then
wiring them out and rub on plenty Of
soap, and to one boiler of clothes, we'll
covered over with water add one tea
spoonful OF the fluid; boil half an hour
briskly, then wash well through one
suds and rinse through water, and your
clothes will look better than the old
way of washing twice before boiling.
This is an invaluable recipe, and We
want every poor tired woman to try it.
We think with patent wash tub to do
the little rubbing, the washerwoman
might take the old Bible and cOmpO Sc
herself on the lounge, and let the wash
ing do itself.

Newspaper Especially for Ladies.

| Some of the enterprising ladies in

ed by six or seven ladies, who shall
each have special department, as fol-
lows: Esf

cides, Infanticides, Parricides, Old
lady-sides Cruelty to Children and Ami
mails, and any other horrors that have
q pleasantly stimulating effect on the

To CURE SHEEP FROM JUMPING

To CURE SHEEP FROM JUMPING.-A
correspondent of the Ohio Farmer gives
the following curious account of the
method adopted BY him to prevent his
sheep from jumping the fences Of his
pasture: aI want to tell you about my
jumping sheep and how ! broke them.
/ got them in a pen built sufficiently
large 10 hold them. i then caught the
ring leaders, one at time, and made a
small hole in each ear. i then took a
cord or string and run through the holes
in the ears together, elise enough to
keep them from working their ears;
thsn let them out and they were as
quiet as any sheep"
