SENATOR BUCKALEw, of Pennsylvania. has
been making speeches in Lycoming county in
which he tells more falsehood within limit
ed space than would be possible for anybody
but Democratic Senator. He assumes, for

gress. He also declares that very large
body of Republicans favor the establishme mt
of uniform qualifications for the exercise OF the
right of suffrage by Congress instead of by a
constitutional amendment, while it is we'll
known fact that Senator Sumner stands al
most alone on that question. The object Sum-
ner has in view, of removing unjust restric-
tions upon the political rights of persons living
in States from which they can hope for no re-
dress. is universally commended, but most Re-
publicans would attain it by a safer method
than he proposes. Senator Trumbull has re-
Gently published paper in which he express
es the opinion of ninety-nine one-hun-
dredths of the party, showing that constitll-
tional amendment will meet the case almost
as speedily as legislation, and far more conclu-
sively, while it has the additional merit of be-
ing free from any possible attack on the ground
of legality While these things, which are
matters of public notoriety, are SO studiously
falsified by the Pennsylvania Senator, it is not
surprising to find him citing the action of the
late Border State Convention, held at Balti-
more, in support of his assertions. That Con-
vention did express a very strong desire for
impartial suffrage in all the States, but at the
same time it indicated decided preference for
constitutional amendment establishing it, as
the published report of its proceedings will
show. r w rr

AN IMPORTANT CRCULAR-The Washing
ton special of the Boston Advertiser has the
fOllowinp.

AN IMPORTANT CIRcULAR.-The Washing
following:
1t has already been said that the President
had consented to have his views, as expressed
to Southerners here, regarding the effect of
the amnesty proclamation, put in writing for
transmission to influential parties South The
copies are in the form of a written circular ad.
dressed ''TO whom it may concern" and en-
body the following statements: The President
stated to the writer that he could not reoDen
registration without subjecting himself to GER
tain impeachment, although he had been adj
vised to do SO by many of the most earnest sup
porters OF his policy,--who argued that if, as
Commander-in-Ch Chief, he assumed the authori-
ty to issue orders to military subordinates, he
would be upheld by the Constitution-loving
and law-abidng portion of the community
On the other hand, equally warm supporters of
his policy alleged that if he attempted to d.
rect the manner in which civil duties
imposed on military authorities by direct act
of Congress should be executed, he would be
assuming powers not vested la his office, Ell
ther by the Constitution, the articles of war
or any other law. The President also stated
that the PRONUNCIATION of the amnesty procla-
nation would result, if properly managed, in
disrupting the Republican party; because, if
the courts decided, as he thought they should,
that the classes pardoned by it were restored
to their full rights as citizens, and the leaders
Of that party should persist in supporting the
military authorities in their refusal to allow
those pafdoned to register, the natural result
would be that the people would flock to the
support of the judiciary.
The circular concludes by personal appeal
from the writer, asking for its contents wide
circulation. A postscript states that Mr.. John
son was particularly anxious that all should
give proper obedience to the DEGREES of the
courts, whatever they may be. a ttsA ~

The reading of essays by the ladies is one
of the exercises which give life and interest to
the meetings of the Springfield, Vt, Farmers
Club. From one of the essays by Mrs. Dan
iel Rice, published in the Vermont Farmer,
we copy the following paragraphs:
Did you ever think of the amount of
thought requisite to plan three meals day
for three hundred and sixty-fiye days in sue
cession? To prepare enough and not too
much, and for those living at a distance from
the village, to remember that the stock OF
flour, sugar. tea, ETC., etc., is repenlshed in
due time? Do you ever think of the multi
tide of her cares and duties? She must rise
early to prepare breakfast OF oversee it. Per-
haps there are children to wash, dress, and
feed, or to get ready for school with their din
ners. There is baking, sweeping, busting,
making beds, lunch Tor the men, may be--din-
ner and supper TO be made ready at the pro-
per time-the washing, starching, folding and
ironing OF clotheS-the care of milk, iEclud-
ing the making of butter and cheese-and
the inevitable washing of Dishes In autumn
there is the additional work of picking, pre-
serving, canning of fruit, drying apples, boil
ing cider, making apple sauce, with the still
more unpleasant task which falls to her lot

NEwFIELD, Sept. 80, 1867
To the Editor Of the Press:
clip the following from recent issue of
your paper:
The Methodists and Free Baptists of New
field, have had some difficulty about their
meeting house. The committee who employed
pastor told him he must not preach politics.
Harmony prevailed until the minister voted
the Republican ticket at the late election, and
then the muss began. So writes a Newfeld
correspondent of the [Biddeford] Union
Several fair differences from this quotation
are:-1. That the Methodists and Free Bap-
lists of Newfield occupy house of worship
in common. 2. That one pastor exercises sole
pastorship in the two denominations. 8. That
"the committee" interdicting the preaching Of
politics represented the wishes of part, to say
the least, of the Methodists of the place. 4.
That aconfused struggle (for so Webster defines
"muss") was initiated by the pastors voting at
the late election. in which struggle the Metho-
dists took an active part.
Allow me to briefly review the matters which
these differences cover.
1. There is a Free Baptist meeting and a
Methodist meeting at Newfield (Dunn's MilIs)
entirely independent of each other, and no

has been agitated, am confident, during the
present summer or fall
q Each society has its pastor, the Free Bap-
fist since April last, the Methodist for many
years.
3. No committee from the Methodist body
has approached the Methodist pastor as to the
preaching of politics and need not say no COM
mittee from the Free Baptist hody have an
preached him on such an errand, though pre-
vious to April, and even since, Free Baptists
have constituted part OF his congregation.
The pastor of the Free Baptist church may
have been waited on by such committee, or
he may not: 1 do not know. 1t is a fact that
both of them voted and voted the Republican
ticket.
4. There is no "muss" as a consequence
in the Methodist church of which am aware.

EXCITEMENT AT THE HUB.-The people of
Boston are talking of making next Monday a
holiday in order to give all the people an OPP
portunity to pay their respects to Sheridan
The programme embraces review of troops, a
parade through the principal streets, and SER
enade. With all Sheridan's great achieve
ments he has, we believe, never seen the Com
mon-he has never looked upon the State
House or listened to the Big Organ. Having
added these experiences to those of a more
stirring character with which his past life has
been filled, he will be man of unusual accom-
