LESSER LIGHTS.

George w. Swan, of Henrico, the
metropolitan county of the State, is q
carpenter, whose name was three
months ago to fortune and to fame un-
known He is great Union League
man, and was elected by the negro Sc
cret societies. His colleague, Burr To-
Ter, is an illiterate darkey.
+ yankee" Allen is elected from Prince
Edward. of him Lynchburg paper
says:
He has proven himself decidedly a
man of business. On the day of elec-
tion he stole a horse, rode it to the cleo
tion, was pursued, captured, and i'm
prisoned for the theft, and is now in
Jail awaiting his trial for the offence.
He has thus stolen the horse, run him
off, been pursued, Overtaken, captured,
incarcerated, and elected delegate to
the Convention to form Constitution
for the State, all in the course of one
day. Who will say hereafter that the
negro delegates have no capacity for
business"
Captain James II. Platte represents
Petersburg. He was commissary in
the federal army and halls from YER
mont. His ambition, presumption and
ignorance are equally unbounded.
Sanford NJ. Dodge, of Mecklenburg,
claims to be q Methodist preacher, but
his very countenance ropels the idea of
his sacred Office. He is now under in
dictment for violation of internal rev.
enue laws, by the illicit distillation of
whisky. ...-t ,.
James F. Maddox, of Powhattan and
Chesterfield, is cross-eyed, insignifi-
cant looking young man of recent i'm
portation from tew England.
Charles II. Porter, q colleague of
Maddox, is a lawyer of Norfolk, who
Ecanvassed the whole State and finally
secured nomination and election from
the negroes of Powhatan and Chester
field.
ORGANIZATION.
The telegraph has already informed
you of the temporary organization of
the Convention. j. w. ID. Bland, a
good looking negro boy, was chosen
secretary, and c. +. Whittlesea, editor
of the radical paper in Alexandria, as
his Assistant.
The appointments were made in ac-
COTudHCo WIFI tu6 ulEcCJlOuS plNou ny
Hunnicutt, and approved by Radical
caucus. Of course the permanent or
ganization will be equally radical.
THE CONSERVATIVE DELEGATES.
There are a few members of the con-
vention, whose merits are of no ordina-
ry rate, and who are sacrificing their
own personal feelings to take seats by
the side of the violent men who have
been described above. 1t is well that
theJ are in attendance, ready to enter
their protest against the lawless pro-
ceedings already foreshadowed.
These delegates sit together, and have
thus far been silent spectators. Prob.
ably their minds have been filed with
the recollection of the proud history of
Virginia in the past, and the sad spec
tacle presented by her present cOndi-
tion. Well may sadness overwhelm
these scions of a noble stock, as they
gaze upon the strange scene in Vir-
ginia's capital, which has in days past
rung with the eloquent tones of true
statesmen, but now echoes Gonly the
bawling of demagogues and an ignor-
ant rabble.
Truly, as daily paper observes, "The
vandals are in possession of the capital
-barbarians overrun the old dominion"

away with bucketfui from the same
kind he will find that the pan will raise
nearly if not quite as thick cream as
the bucket. i would not put away
milk deeper than from two and one-half
to three inches, and have found that
the increased outlay for pans is more
than made up by the increase i'll butter.
TEMPERATURE OF CREAM.
In answering his question as to the
proper temperature of the cream when
put into the churn, would say that
this question forms one of the most i'm
portant in his series, but is at the same
time one which is often neglected.
Careful experiments have demonstrat-
ed that while the cream should never
be lower than so degrees, it should
never be higher than 55 degrees, for the
operation OF churning will raise it from
| five to ten degrees.
In long series of experiments con-
Quoted in an English dairy, the best
temperature was found to be 50 degrees,
when the cream goes into the churn.
By far too many keep the milk and
cream at the same temperature, or at
least in the same cellar or vault. Either
the cream or milk will suffer, one being
too warm or the other too cold.
HOW LONG TO CHURN.
But is not our friend mistaken in
wishing to obtain his butter Gin the
least possible timep My experience
is, that if butter "eomes" too soon
it is at the expense Of quality, if not
quantity, too; 1 would rather churn
one hour than less, and consider by 80
doing make better butter; by raising
the temperature of the cream, the but
ter may be prepared in less time, but
will not make SO good an article. In
the best English dairies it is not consid-
cred too long if twice the above time is
occupied in churning. 'f.t... .
sALTING BUTTER.
The quantity of salt needed to keep
the butter will vary from one
pound of salt to twenty.four of butter,
to the same amount for twenty-eight
pounds.
The object is to have the water and
butter milk which remain in the butter
thoroughly saturated with salt, and Of
course the more the butter is worked
and freed from the butter milk, the less
salt will be required to salt it enough
for preservation, but as enough salt to
keep it will not usually make it salt
enough for the taste of many customers,
we must add more; one pound to twen-
ty-four of butter will not generally be
too much for the public taste.
MILK OR CREAM FOR ONE POUND OF BUT
TER. s.
His question as to the amount ofmilk
or cream required to make one pound
of butter is very difficult to answer,
from the fact that milk varies so much.
From nine to eleven quarts of milk
shonld make two of cream, which in
turn ought to make one pound of but
ter, or by weight, eighteen to twenty
pounds of milk should make four Of
cream, which should make one of but
ter. give these data from dairy of
common cows, aud it will, of course,
vary with other breeds and herds; it
will not apply to Alderney's for the
proportion of cream and butter to the
milk is much greater.
Two quarts of cream are fair aver
age for one pound of butter, though
many cows will furnish an article re-
quiring much less to make one pound.

Good Time TO Buy sheep.

One of the most sagacious farmers and
business men of Ashtabula county was
in our Office last week, and speaking of
the prevailing Encouragement among
wool growers, and their haste to sell off
their tlocks, said that now is good
time to buy, and he was doing so, feel
ing assured that good investments
could now be made in sheep. In one
transaction recently he had been al
lowed the pick of fifty young ewes out
of good flock of several hundred at
S1.25 a head.
While attending the Wool Growers
Convention at Pittsburg, last week, an
enterprising wool grower of West Vir-
ginia informed us that himself and
some of his neighbors were going to
stock up with new purchases of sheep,
and made particular inquiry where
abouts in Ohio they could find desira-
BILE lots for sale.-Ohio Farmer.

G.uer,, Ha.e.eL In New orlean.


The most cheering and gratifying in
dications for the future of the South we
have seen since the war, is the general
order issued by Major General w. S.
HANCOCK, on assuming command of the
Fifth Military District, composed of the
States of Louisiana and Texas. 1t
stands in marked contrast with the big
oted and fanatical fulminations OF
BANKS and SICKLEs. The General, after
declaring that peace and quiet reigns
throughout the district, proceeds as fol-
lows:
In war it is indispensable to repel
force BY force. and overthrow and de-
stroy opposition to lawful authority.
But when insurrectionary force has
been overthrOwn, and peace established,
and the civil authorities are ready ana
willing to perform their duties, the
military power should cease to lead, and
the civil administration resume its nat
ural and rightful dominion. Solemnly
impressed with these views, the Gen
eral announces that the great principles
Of American liberty still are the lawful
inheritance of this people, and ever
should be. The right of trial by jury,
the habeas corpus, the liberty of the
press, the freedom of speech and the
natural rights of persons and the rights
VI property must be preserved.

DiIuiing the Currency.


In the financial debate in the HOase
on Saturday, between two of the Illinois
members, Ross and WAsHBURNE, the
latter attempted to show that any ex-
pansion of the currency would be espe-
eially hurtful TO the interests Oflabor.
He argued that while everything con-
snmed by the laboriug man has increased
in price ninety-threc per cent, the
wages Oflabor have increased only sixty
three per cent. This inequality he at
tributed to former expansions, and con-
tended that further measures of that
sort, would be still more prejudicial to
tie welfare of the industrial classes.
This reasoning repeats the barbarian
idea that because - comet and q calam-
ity occur at the same time, therefore
the former causes the latter. The COM
paratiyely low prices of labor have not
been been caused so much by diluting
the currency, as by taxes and tariffs. If
every article which the labOrer con-
sumeS has increased in price ninety
three per cent. it will be we'll to re-
member that Orer sirtteR thousand articles,
including almost everything consumed
BY an ordinary family, are made the
subjects of taxation. Tariffs also in
crease immensely the value of many
commodities, and to these causes, tariff
and taxation, it is due, that a days
labor will hardly procure days snp-
por, for the laborer's family.
Let it he remembered, that the cost
ofli,ing is increased by artificial means,
while tho wages of labor are regulated
in a great measure, by the laws OF
supply and demand. Hence it is,
that all the suffering of the working
classes from low wages and heavy
expenses, is caused 10y the Radi-
cal revenue policy which cOmpels the
poor man to pay taxes on everything he
consumes. and exempts the bondholder
on everything he owns.
1t may be further stated, that money
cannot become dangerously plentiful,
so long as it is actually needed for cir
culating purposes. 1t is ouly when the
supply is in excess Of the wants of bus
mess, that it depreciates. So leng as
trade needs it and is Idle without it,
there is but little danger Of its losing
value.
What is the commercial condition ofthe
country to-dayi From one enc of the
land to the other the stagnation in bust
ness is almost unprecedented. The
granaries aud storekousss of the West
are full aud other sections need sup
plies. Nevertheless trade in Western
products is duh because there is not
money enough in commercial channels
10 make it brisk. And so it is in other
localities, and in almost every branch OF
business. - .. ..
1t is, then, no dilution to supply the
universal demand for money. 1t is not
even expansion. 1t is the fair and
necessary adjustment of the circulating
medium to the actual and urgent needs
