The debate is said to have excited

CONGRESS.

II CONGRESS.
This body met the 2lst inst. and
immediately organized for work. 1T
members have gone to work, and like
individuals belonging to bodies ,ol
the kind-be it q debating society
or two or three removes from it, !. e
| law making society-each member
trying to see how rany hills ?, he s eer e
introduce, how much he can say up
on any subject, no matter Of how
great or how little importmce. Each
lnember appears to think that upon
| his Individual shoulders rests inter
ests of great importance-that he
has a constituency which expects him
to do something; it making 20 DIFF dif=
ference whether it is of de or not !
This session of Congress, however,
the people--and of course each mem,
ber's constituents--expect that some
thing will be done besides work OF
THE character above stated.
They have no particular feelings in
regard to reconstruction, consider
ering that the matter is progressing
as veil as could be expected, and if
further Legislation issneeded that it
lis of such a character as to demand
but little time.
Impeachment is considered q side
Issue aud as bearing the same rela-
ton to the actual work of Congress,
as side-show does to a metropoli-
tan circus. Congress can do as i,
phases, pro. or con. in the impeaeh.
ment, but the people don't want much
time expended on it, feeling that the
man it affects is Of minor importance
and that the good or evil encompass,
ed will be slight.
Retrenchment OF the Government
expenses, in all departments, as fai
as is consistent, is universally de
Imsnded. The people have had just
reason to complain, during the past
year or two, of certain little .'inad
vertencies" in financial matters by
certain ofncisls throughout the eoan-
try. These should be rectifed.
l. There j. also y feeling that meas
ures should be perfected by which 6

collected. 90
Besides these t3ere 9e other mat
ters that the people think congresa
should act upon, bat the most i'm.
rortant Of all is the subject OF Ma
tional Finances. THIS is q question
apon which there is great diversity
|of opinion rseardIess of party Anes.
Almost every prominant manof both
parties has an opinion upon the sub
ject; hardly any two Of them agree
ing. Volumes have been written up
on the financial condition cf the coun.
try, and whoever has followed the wri-
ters in their arguments have been as

These views were also presented be-
fore final action was taken, and not
like our friends bull against the bounty
bill, "the msrning after it was announc-
ed that the bill had passed" We make
these extracts, not to vindicate the
REGISTER, for il is the Intelligencer
which is on trial, but to expose the
silly and shameless subterfuge to which
our cotemporsry has resorted to divert
attention from himself and his own sb-
surdity. Having done this, in man.
ner of which the people will Judge, We
will now remind our neighbor that
his failure to evade our charges
leaves them unanswered, and that
in the absence Of any better de-
tense than that which he has attempted
to make, the public will be justified in
the sincerity Of his recent
criticisms upon his party's corruptions.
1t will question the purity of the mo-
tives which would permit him to reuain
silent while Radicalism was committing
its rascalities, and which have only inn
pelled him to speak since public senti-
ment has manifested itsayersion toward

lr,s n Wise Mule that Knsweth HE
Own Crib.

The New Orleans Times report the fol-
lowing Solomonie way Of deciding q
case which was resorted to in that city
a few days ago: In decision of Judge
Fellows, reported recently, the Judge
remarked upon the extreme difficulty
Of proving identity of property where
that property is mule. The rule in
these cases where both plaintiff and de-
fendant swear point blank to the prop
erty, is to take that evidence as truth
which predominates. But Justice of
the Peace Braughn had mule case be-
fore him recently where this rule could
not be followed. So the wise Justice,
on the principle that "every ass know
eth its masters crib" determined to ap-
ply the test in this wise: If the mule in
dispute should, when taken to spot
within 200 yards of the plaintiffs crib,
60 to it of his own free will, the mule
should be adjudged to the plaintiff; if
he shouldn't 60 the mule was to be ad
judged to the defendant, the present
possessor. The mule was brought to
the spot, but failed to bulge an inch.
BY few well administered blows he
was prevailed upon to move, aud did so
at such rapid rate that he was soon
out of sight. He was followed, headed
of, returned back, and seeing the door
Of the plaintiffs yaId open, rushed in
sure enough. Like a sensible mule he
made for his fodder. But the plaintiff
did not triumph; the mode was deemed
compulsory, and the mule was given
over to the possessor. This mode is not
so just as deciding according to the
weight of the evidence.

Spring Seeding.

W,believe it is conceded on all hands
that clover is best sOwn in the Spring,
and his is the best Spring you ever saw
for putting in red clover, and new is
the tost time to put in. Red clover, as
an alternating crop, is, and is 20 he, the
great tfegenerator of our soil. As for
age cop, it is unriyalled. by any of the
class # legumes, to which it belongs,
being not strictly one of the grasses.
There Is nothing better than red clover
for q simmer hog pasture; no kind of
hay bitter for horses and cows than
cloveI,l properly cured, and no better
green crop to plow under for wheat
land. A good deal more might be said
about red clover, and how nicely it
comesm with sheep raising, and We
advise Gil farmers having land suitable
for this crop, to pitch right in now and
SOW lots of red clover.
There ars q variety Of opinions about
the pr.priety of raising oats as general
farm cSp; but many farmers will con.
tinue ID cultivate oats, and the grain of
oats will very properly continue to be
staple led for horses and sheep, when
ever il eau be had. The best time to
put in oats is rs early in the Spring as
the ground is fit to be worked, and ear
lier than farmers generally think best
to worhlsnd for other Summer crops.
Oats may be sown in the mud, if the
mud is Of the kind that will not turn
to brick by the operation.
Now Is also the time for sewing tho
seed of Kentucky blue grass in open
fields. For q permanent pasture, no
grass is more generally esteemed, and no
Cultivated grass that will stasd by, like
the Kentucky blue grass. In Northern
Ohio this grass never shows the luxuri-
ance which it attains in its best state,
in the latitude Of Southern Ohio and
Kentucky, where it is truly the glory
of the feld and wealth of the farmer
Ohio Fdrmer.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
saws beE has come to the conclusion that
nj remedies for curculio are of no use,
and thst the best way is 10 plant SO
many trees that the curculio cannot de-
stroy all the fruit. He has two or
chards, with over two hundred plum
trees, and finds that the curculio does
not sting enough of the fruit to thin
them out sufficiently.
