ALEXANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 81.

A dispatch from Washington states that
President johnson, in conversation with some
Southern politicians lately, informed them that
he could not, without incurring certain risk Of
impeachment, order the reopening of the reg
istration lists in the South, and admitted that
the Reconstruction laws confer on the District
Military Commanders sole power over those
3 matters. He stated that his only power Of In
3 terference was the removal of the commanders
when they failed TO execute the laws in accor-
dance with his views of their legal construction.
Hestated chat in issuing his proclamation of am
nestyt he had thrown the onus of depriving le-
galIy qualified voters from registering and en-
/ joying the right of suffrage on Congress, and
: hoped that the Southern people would under
stand the situation in that light. They must
seek redress through the courts, or the fault of
their enfranehisement will rest equally on them
and Congress, as he claimed that he had done
all that he could do to restore them to their
rights. .Sas - - -

Smailness Of Cob Very Desirable
in Seed Corn.

The selection Of seed corn is one of the
most important things which farmer does
al this season. Coarse cobs accompany late
maturity, as q rule fine icobs, we'll tipped

the season and soil, and liXedness of char
acter which ii is important to maintain -
The curing Of corn takes PLACE % great
extent after hnsl;Ig, aud the presence of a
great. soft, moist cob in each ear gives a
tendency to mold, which should be sed
ulously avoided. The old experiment Of
fitting a paper cone to an ear OF corn. then
Withdrawing the ear, Smelling it and return
ing the kernels to the cone, is interesting
and instructive. If the kernels will all go
easily into the cone, the cob is too large,
and we should say the corn unfit for seed
The cone should be made of brown paper,
dampened, bound tightly around the ear,
coming no higher than the kernels, but Gov.
ering all the ends are trimmed off, and it
is allowed to dry before the ear is drawn
out. One may easily Judge by the eye which
ears have the smallest cobs-those which
are best tipped out, which have the kernels
in the closest rows, and all the rows running
! unbroken from end to end These ears W i'll
not be found among the biggest round, nor
among the longest, usually, but among those
of medium size. A friend used to say, as
he showed of his seed corn, every ear as
regular and solid,as te.oak PIN And
so they were, as nearly as corn ears could
be, firm close, hard and solid.

New Way of Trapping Rats.
BY l.. l.. LANGsTRoTn, OXFORD, ONO.

fore you are fortunate enough to trap anoth
cr, keep him'alivc and iced him much as
You would a pet squirrel. In few days
he will become reconciled to his cage. and
you are now ready for business. At night,
bait the trap well and set IL where the rats
resort most. Some one or more of them
seeing Il rat quite at home in the midst OF
plenty, will enter the trap without any sus,
pIcion OF harm. Next morning. pump or
pour water thoroughly overthe trap to clean
it, and to make the killing Of your prey
more easy. Have an empty barrel into
which drop the contents Of your cage ; the
prisoners being well soaked, will be so heavy
and slow that you can easily knock them on
the head. Treat your partially tanned rat
however, las if You loved him, and return
him to his cage: this is easily done by low
ering the cage into the barrel. Repeat the
operation from night to night, and You will
be surprised to see how easy "A matter it is
to outwit so cunning an-animal as an cold
rat.
