color, or previous condition, who resided in
the State six months previous to the cleo

gagged in rebellion, violated the rules of civ

Hon. Thaddeus Stevens arrived in the
city last evening in better health than has
been expected. He looks emaciated, but,
considering his long ride, appeared quite
fresh and vigorous. He conversed freely and
cheerfully with those about him, and with
,vivacity quite at variance with the theory of
some of his political enemies who fatter
themselves that they have discovered in his
recent writings indications of afailing intel
lect. If his health is restored, as we trust
it will be, he may yet deal them such blows
from his seat in the House as will make
them feel that he has power enough left to
cope with their stoutest champions Wash.

We learn that Messrs. Lamson and Ham.
son, though urged to do SO by Isaiah Har.
die, who is on the Board with them, refused
to recommend any colored men for inspec-
tors of the election in their precincts. There
are no colored men inspectors in these pre-
cincts. We have heard complaints against
one of the inspectors at the Nat. Jones pre-
cinct. The loyal men demand justice in
these things, and they will have it. If they
do not get it now, they will hereafter.

= A STORY WITH MoRAL.-A Connect
lieut. exchange tells the following story of
boy, who was sent from Groton, Connect
cut, to New London one day last summer
with bag of green corn. The boy was
gone all day, and returned with the bag
unopened, which he dumped on the floor,
saying: vi. 3
"There is your corn; go and sell it, I
cant!" asa a..

mo; I've been all over London with it,
and nobody said anything concerning green
corn Two or three fellows asked me what
had in my bag, and l told them it was
none of their business what it was" aa-
The boy is not unlike hundreds Of mer-
chants, who will promptly call him fool
for not telling what he had to sell. They
are actually doing the same thing on a
much larger scale than did that boy, by not
advertising their business.

HowTHEY WORK OUT ON THE PRAIRIEs.-'
The Dubuque Times, in a review OF
the late Waterloo campaign, has the follow
ing: ~
In the West we do those things different,
and we can point our Eastern brethren to
Iowa as bright example, and one that will
do them good to copy after. Here instead
of running behind, we gave large MAORI
ty for Col Merrill, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, than was ever before CIV
en- to any man for that office. Large meet
ings and stirring addresses are all very we'll
in their place; but one quiet, persevering
man, working prudently among his neigh
bors, will accomplish more toward fixing
the minds of men than would one-half OF the
popular speakers of the nation. The fact is,
it is not among the noisy demonstrations of
public gatherings and set speeches that
mems minds are most susceptible to the
force of reason; but on the contrary, most
persons are either drawn to such places by
previously formed opinions, or go with pre-
JUDGES which ward off the effect of any
truth they may hear. One trouble with the
Republicans, as already suggested, is that
they have depended too much upon demon
stration and oratory, and too little upon
work .f4i-s. E.t ...

to inaugurate a war Of races. They pretend
to have discovered plots BY the colored peo-

tence, We venture to predict-done for mis-
chief Mark these men, VII Post.
The Post has properly characterized the
conduct OF these bloodthirsty wretches.--
They know the negro vote, joined to the
loyal white vote, will soon deprive them of
power; and they are, therefore, SO enraged
against the negroes that they are itching for
an opportunity to murder them. But, thank
God, their wicked hands are restrained by
the power of the nation The loyal men in
these States will soon have complete control
Of them, and they will be thoroughly able
to restrain their bad passions and govern
them as they should be governed. 81

The Seventh Insult.

2 We suppose no candidate for any place
was ever SO intimidated and insulted as Gen.
Fowle has been in this County during his
campaign At Green Level, when he told
the colored people he would never consent
to be governed by q "licentious, vicious set
of chicken-stealers, meaning this express
ion for the colored people-they very nat
nrally retired from his presence, not being
willing to listen to such language They
gave back quietly, saying nothing. This 30
excited the General that he called on the
white people to bear witness that the negroes
were insulting him by refusing to listen to
him! disi .'.3I7f.6 III, ,S5 i5s.sa
At Sorrell's, soon after be commenced his
speech, having announced himself against
negro suffrage, three colored men quietly re-
tired from his immediate presence, the great
body Of the colored people remaining where
they were, listening to him as before He
cried out again, at the top of his voice,
White men. do you see that This is the
sixth time / have been insulted on this cam
paign. l am not to be intimidated. The
way am treated by the colored people is
the best proof that they are not fit for self
government" We happened to be present,
and walked among the colored people and
asked them what they had done to Gen.
Fowle. One old man smilingly said they
had done nothing, except that three men Of
his color had just walked away. .,g-
Gen. Miles, Col. Churr, and the Hon. j.
Baker were at Sorrell's to hear the discussion.
They went there as citizens. The officers
wore no uniforms, and Mr.. Baker, though
urged to make a personal explanation, posi-
lively refused to say word. We learn that
Gen. Fowle dwelt at Oak Grove with en-
phasis on the presence Of these gentlemen
characterized it as an attempt by the militia
ry and member of Congress to intimidate
him, and declared that he was not to be put
down in that way. This was the seventh
insult! If, the colored people refuse to hear
him he is insulted, and if white men Of q
certain class hear him be is insulted. Ac.
cording to the rule the General has laid
down lie will receive the biggest insult Of
| all on Tuesday and Wednesday next, when
| not less than four Thousand Of our register
i ed voters win refuse to vote for him.

THE CULTIVATION OF Hon s.-Through-
out Virginia the tultivation Of hops seems;
to be attracting much attention. It is as.
serted that they can be easily grown, ana
that during the past year many farmers nave
made much money by planting them Fog

clipped the following relative to the cultiya-
ton of this article, which may prove OF use
to some one among them:
Select land protected from high winds,

to hold fertilizers. Pillow deep, manure weii'

four or five slips in a ten inch circle about
