The Genuine conservative.

from LnE ZNetO 1OTN 1FtOuIle-
Four millions of our countrymen,
lately slaves, are now free-that is u
positive fact. You may dislike it,
ioathe it, execrate it-but you none the
less know it to be fact.
Congress, in reconstructing the States
lately in revolt, has determined that
these blacks, unless they have vOlun-
tarily aided the rebellion, shall vote
and theU ARE UOtiHg. This is another
important fact. Hate 1t as you may,
YOU still know 1t to be fact.
This Congress remains In power for
nearly two years longer, and tho-Re'
publican majority in the Senate cannot
be subverted within the next four
years. Though every election should
go against us meantime, the Senate
will remain Republican. But ii is per-
fectIy certain that The majority will be
strongly reinforced from the soon-to-be
reconstructed States And right well
do you know that this majority will
not vote to destroy itself by distran-
chisIng the Southern blacks.
What, then, do you mean by Con-
servRtism?
Do you mean to keep this whole
country in turmoil and contention
throughout the next four years, in the
desperate hope that you may thereafter

of Southern blacks, and put them un-
der the feet of their late rebel masters?
Ifthat is your game, what sort OF
crops, of trade, of payments, can you
expect from the South meantime7
What hope can YOU cherish that the
country will ever be pacified2
It's one thing to deny the right OF
suffrage to u down-trodden race; II is
quite another to deprive them Oft after
they have gained and exercised it. We
defy the wit of man to tell how the
blacks of South Carolina, Mississippi
and Florida, after they shall have voted
and chosen State officers and members
of Congress, are to be disfranchised, ex-
cept by usurpation and revolutionary
violence. Virginia has shown you that
they will not disfranchise themselves.

just as good as new,-the old story
OF feeding poultry-ln Paris. on old
horses, lately vamped by the Field and
Fireside.
The AgriculturIst, Juenuda aud
other choice eastern Strawberries fail to
meet the expectations OF western culti-
vators.
At a convention held in Iowa City,
August 9th, the Concord grape was al
mCst stuuanimously endorsed for general
cultivation.
Hops are doing badly in many por-
tons of Central New York, and yard
after yard is reported worthless.
heJouTndE of Horticulture says that
Gladiolus can be raised from seed, and
perhaps better flowers beobtained than
from imported bulbs.
A lot OF ox-heArt cherries were re-
Gently exhibited in California that
measured two and half inches.
The Prairie Farmer says that one
pint of strained honey mixed with two
gallons of water will make excellent
vinegar, after standing three weeks.
"A fat COW of Durham breed was
recently slaughtered in London, which
weighed when killed 1850 pounds, and
yielded $40 pounds OF rough tallow.
There is a tree standing on the farm
OF Levi Graves in Leverett, Mass, that
rises from the ground by two distinct
trunks, standing a foot apart. Each
trunk is more than foot in diameter,
and straight and well formed. They
run up twenty feet or more, and then
join in a solid single trunk, forming Il
beautifultop like any single tree. E
1t appears that drought this year
has prevailed over a wide extent Of
country. In the western part OF New
York It has been severe, while in the
eastern and middle portion of the State
there has been comparatively little
rain since last July. In the dairy re-
gion the supply of after feed is much
less than usual. The editor of the Ohio
Farmer, In recent tour from Cleve-
land to Pittsburgh, found the farmers
feeding hay to their cattle as in mid
winter. A correspondent of the Coun-
try Ge,ltlem1n. writing in central Illi-
nois, says half the wells in the country
are waterless, and pasturage is very
short. This has caused a rush OF cattle
to market and brought prices down as
low as 21SaSc. per lb.I live weight for
good thin steers.

While there is considerable def
cheney in the produce OF apples in New
England, the supply from Virginia and
the West, and a portion OF Northern
New York, has been large. as the crops
in these localities have been, and par
tfcuIarly on the Lake Erie shore,
where prices have not been so low, the
Tribune says, for many years. Iu the
interior of Ohio, crops of apples are
good. In Indiana and Illinois apples
are plenty, and in Iowa and Northern
Missouri the yield is enormous. North
ern Indiana and Southern Michigan can
furnish very large supplies, but high
freights almost keep them out of North
ern markets in the green state. Con-
cerning the decay of the apple culture
in New England, the article whence
we take the above statement says:
at is melancholy to reflect that the
orchards of New England, which for
merly were SO fruitful, and which first
proved that America WAS capabl OF ex-
ceiling the Old World, and which real
ly laid the foundation of fruit culture
an this Western World, now have fall
len into decay. More than this, It is
alleged that orchards recently planted,
and which now should bear abun-
dainty, not only are barren, but
many of the trees blight and die. II
is to be considered that the apples
of New England, as a general thing,
were OF poor quality, being merely
seedlings; that one,cause OF disappoint-
ment is the natural result of old age,
and that recent planting has been by no
means general. Another cause reason
ably may be looked for in the fact that,
by long cultivation, the soil of these
States has been deprived OF the ele-
ments necessary to bring orchards into
bearing state, or even TO give vitality
tothe trees. 1t would be worth while
for farmers TO try the experiment OF
taking some eminence, or land, which
never has had much cultivation, even
if rocky, and test the question whether
this soil will not produce fruit as well
aB all portions of the country did in
early days. Last year, when the re-
mains Of Roger Williams, at Provi-
dence, were removed, 1t was found that
the roots of an apple tree had descend
ed into the grave and absorbed the
whole skeleton, and in doing so the
roots had unmiBtAkably arranged
in the human form. Roger
williams taught an invaluable lesson
to our people when he inculcated the
W isdom of religious liberation and led
the wRy for its incorporation into our
National Constitution; and now,
though long dead, with the last remains
of his mortal body we should be re-
minded that the phospbates and other
elements common To animal organisms
are required to make the apple orchards
of the old States again blossom and
bear as in the happy days which are
gone -

THR New York Financial Chronicle
spenks OF the general disappointment
of City merchants at the result Of the
Fall business. During the last fiye or
six weeks the volume of transactions
has declined very perceptibIy; the sec
ond purchases of traders from the inte-
rior have been light; the Southern de-
mand has fallen much below expecta-
tions; and the "near by" and city trade
demand has proved failure. In Its
commercial article, the Chronicle says
that the prices of merchandise have
declined much more than gold in the
past TWO years, and there is disposI-
ton to now look to q corresponding
fall in gold, rather than reaction in
merchandise; fact which causes buy
ers 10 purchase only to supply their
immediate wants." 1t is a fact Of
which there constantly new proofs
that, until the monetary basis of our
commercial transactions is specie, the
liked and universal standard OF value
throughout the world, there will be
constant uncertainty in all branches of
business, and in all the transactions of
the country.

Chleaso Fast Lie ON sunday.

The Chicago Post gives the following
picture of Sunday scene in Wasbash
avenue, the Fifth avenue of that city,
which we trust is highly colored. 1t
says:
Complaints have frequently been
made, both by persons on Wabash ave
nue. and by those who have occasion to
pass along that thoroughfare, of the
buggy racing which has been more or
less common upon il ever since the new
pavement was finished.
yesterday afternoon the avenue was
one continued scene of the most vehe-
mently contested races. Vehicles spun
along at about two-forty speed, passed
each other and repassed, whirled
around other vehicles and darted past
crossings, the drivers getting far too ex-
cited TO think of the consequences TO
life and limb likely to result from their
reckless proceedings. And the police
men stood, sometimes in groups OF
three and four, highly enjoying the
sport, and never once making an effort
to stopit. .
"Mr. NJ: +. Cavanagh, while driving
quietly along on the avenue, near Jack
son street. with his wife and child, met
a team in the full career OF an exciting
race. Other buggies were on the road,
so that there was but scanty room for
the driver OF the team to work his way
through. He did not attempt to stop
his horses or even slacken their pace,
but came on full tilt, dashing right
against Mr.. Cayauagh's vehicle, and
huTling IL to the other side of the road.
Mrs. Cavanagh and her child were
thrown violently to the ground. For
tunately, Mr.. CavAnagh kept his seat,
and so kept his horse from running.
Fortunately, neither the lady nor the
child were found to be seriously in
jured by the fall they had had, further
than being both dreadfully alarmed.
about the same time another acci-
dent of more serious nature occurred.
Two spirited horses attached to light
vehicle containing Mr.. g. G. Bowen
and Miss Saunders suddenly took
fright when near Van Buren, street, and
dashed at a furious rate down the ave-
nue.. They continued ON their course
at fearful speed, until reaching a
point near Eighteenth streeT, where
the vehicle struck the edge ofthe curb
ing and Mr.. Bowen was thrown vio-
lently to the ground. Miss Saunders
retained her seat, and the horses con-
tinued on their mad course. AT Twen-
ly-second street several persons at
tempted to bring them to stop, which
had the effect of overturninR the ve-
hicle. Miss Saunders WAS thrown with
great force against the steps OF the
Central Park Market, and, as an addi-
tiOnal source of alarm, the vehicle fell
upon her, while the struggling horses
endeavored to escape frOm the grasp OF
those who had come to render friendly
assistance. AT tine earliest possible
moment Miss Saunders was released
from her perilOus position, and convey
ed in an insensible condition. into the
house of Mr., Sampson, in that vici nifty.

Henry Mard Beecher delivered an
oration before the American Institute.
About five thousand people were pres.
ent. After alluding to the disgrace that
in ancient times was attached to the
labor, he said:
But now work is coming up and the
workmen rises higher and higher in
the estimation of the ages, and work
with us is one of the greatest titles OF
nobility. 81
1t may be thought strange that gem
tleman of my profession should leud
his patronage to an institution like this, ,
but he would take his place in the front
rank. Many are afraid of SCIENCE, and
they have indulged in idle fears that
morality might be be.disorganized by the
discoveries OF science, but YOU cannot
in our period of the world carry any
one department far ahead without car
rying onward all other departments
with it. He alone preaches u true re-
ligion who brings zap not their con-
sciences alone, but also their hands
along with il.
You cannot touch society at any
point, without ultimately affecting the
whole. You cannot secure national
progress without carrying education
with it. Men who invent bring about

business requires as much culture as
religion or anything else. While we
are speaking of Iabor-saving machines
for the abrldgement of mems toll, he
would tell them that If there is one ma
chine which ought to be invented 1t is
that which teaches them how to work,
what TO work at. The best machine of
this kind Is that which was invented
ut the first dawn OF creation-Adam
and Eve.
In his conclusion, alluding to the ele-
ments OF American industry, Mr.. Bee
cher said if he was Pope-no, q King
he thought he should make a better
King than IL Pope-no young man
should be journeyman without hHv-
ing piece OF land. There is nothing
that anchors a man IKE ground. A
young man that has got plat in the
city, or an acre in the country, with Il
good adviser on IL, gives "a mortgage to
the State that he Will be thrifty, honest,
sober, Industrious. Such man the
Devil soon abandons. Where you have

ty begins 10 approach the ideal OF Aner-
lean Industry. He liked Philadelphia
more than New York, or any other city
in the country, not because II has clean
er streets or broader brims, but because
that there Is a larger percentage OF
houses owned by those who occupy
them than III any other city in the
world. That is the true idea OF Ameri-
can industry. II must be also virtuous
and must be deeply rooted in prosperity
in the household.
This world is like u crate of precious
good things just opened. The world is
even yet tenanted by men who see not.
We have yet but touched the surface.

glory OF this glorious picture.

THE Cincinnati Gazette contains
some rather pungent hints. For eX-
ample, speaking of P. st. General
Randalrs Wisconsin letter declaring
that he would never vote for any man
or ticket indorsing impeachment, it
says:
'This is passing strange. Mr.. John
sons Postmaster not in favor of im-
peaching him! The OK content with
his fodder, and the ass opposed TO the
scattering of his masters crib. View
ing him from the standpoint of his
Postmaster Generalship, he finds john
son exactly carrying out Lincoln's pol
ICY, and true to the principles of the
Republican party, while the RePu6li-
can party has abandoned them. He
has stood still while the sun and moon,
and every body else have revolved.
Faithful Postmaster General. Aud
yet the world had SO high an opinion
of your virtues that il expected this OF
yOu." .al
Again referring to the Indianapo-
lis ReraIFs modesty in referring to
perhaps its editors claims for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination, iE pro-
foundly observes
"There are many Democrats who
would grace position AS high as Ha-
mans, II they had the same support in
it."
And again referring to the Louisville
Curriers' statement that it may be ne
cessary to nominate Sherman to beat
Grant, it caustically says:
"General sherman would run well
in the South. He knows the ground.
He has stumped several States. Georgia
and South Carolina would hail hin.
His bummers have made his name a
household word among them. There
is a fitness in this nomination that
should suppress the brood of Demo-
Gratis who are spriDging up in every
locality, who would grace any high
station, and who think that one man Is
as likely TO be struck with lightning as
another"
