The South Carolina Negro Radical
Convention.
THIRTY-NINTH DAY..


On Saturday, the 2gth, the hinged streaked,'
commencing with section 19 OF the judicial de-
partnent Of the Constitution, fifteen sections were
discussed, amended and passed to third reading.
Section 81. as ameudei, provides that the cleo
tors of each Judicial District shall elect three
persons for the. term of two years, who shall con-
stitute board Of County commissioners, who are
to have jurisdiction over roads, highways ferries,
and all matters relating to disbursements of mo-
ney for County purposes, taxes, &e-with, how
ever, the right reserved of appealing to the State
courts.
An attempt WINS made te provide for the elec-
ton of the probate judge by the General Assem-
bly,; but on this motion, Mr. S. G. Dill, of Her
shaw, made u speech, in which the broad ground
was taken that the people had bcen robbed Of
their rights enough, aud that the General Assem-
bly, was not more to be trusted in its choice Of
competent men than the people themselves. The
proposition accordingly failed.
Justices of the peace and constables are to be
,clected by the people for period. of two years.
Justices of the peace are to have jurisdiction1in
al mattersof contract actions for the recovery Of
2anes in matters er d.sicto, where the amount in
volyed docs not exceed 100; also in prosecutions
for assault and battery, and other penal offences
less than felony punishable by fines only. They
may also sit as examining courts, and commit,
discharge, recognize persons, except in capital
cases. The fees of judges of probate county CON-
MISSIONS justices of the peace and constables, are
to be regulated by the General Assembly. The
original clause limiting the age of judges to sew
enty years, has been stricken out The Attorney
General is to be elected by the people for four
years. Ths qualified electors of each County are
also to elect the sheriff and coroner for four years
The Office Of solicitor is likewise gvcn to the pee
ple-tcrm four years.

Grating.

UEhEtthks
The editor Of the Germantown Tele-
graph who is good authority on the sub
ject, gives the following rules for graft
ing: e
AS tho time will soon be here when
grating will be in order, we will repeat
our former advice, that every farmer
should do his own grating. 1t Is a very
easy operation whom once understood,
and this is readily done by seeing the
operation. A sharp pen-knife and good
fine saw are indispensable. Splitting the
stalk so that the bark shall not be bruis-
both ways, preserving also the bark un-
injured--and placing the rim of the wood
of both stock and scion exactly together,
so that the sap can intermingle, thero is
ne danger of failure il properly waxed.
We make shoulder to the graft, and
think it adds to the certainty OF success,
though5it probably weakenslit. We pre-
fer, also, two eyes or buds to a graft, and
would rather have only one than two.-
One years wood should always be used
when it can be obtained, as it is more
certain to take, and grows more vigor-
Ously. ti. -
We wish to remind those preparing
wax, that we have found four parts of
rosin, one part OF beeswax, and one part
beef tallow, to be the best proportions
Melt them together Id skillet (Which
is the best) or tin cup, and mix wel.-
1t should remain in the vessel and be
used as needed. Twenty or thirty scions
can be waxed with one heating up. When
much,grafting is to be done a little fire
for heating the wax should be made on
the spot, between two bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations for
grating wax, and we believe we have
tried them all, but prefer our own. APP
plying warm or hot does no injury to the
graft. The object to attain in the pro-
portions is that the wax will not crack
in COOL dry weather, or melt in warm
weather. If, however, upon trial, diff
erent proportions be required the fore
going can be altered, though after try
Ing them in several ways, we have come
| back to these.

How TO CURE A CoLD.-The moment
q man is satisfied that he has taken cold,
let him do three things: First, eat moth
ing; second, go to bed, cover up in warm
room; third, drink as much cold water
as he can, or as he wants, or as much hot
herb tea as he can, and in three cases out
of four, he will be we'll in thirty-six
hours. The neglect ofa Geld for forty
eight hours after the cough commences,
Is to place himself beyond cure, until the
cold has run its course of about two
weeks. Warmth and abstinence are safe
and certain cures, when applied early
Warmth keeps the pores Of the skin open,
and relieves 1t of the suplus which op-
presses 1t, while abstinence cuts off the
supply Of material for phlegm which
would otherwise be coughed up.-[Jour-

The Emancipation Proclamation.

The reference in Mr.. Boutwell, Is speech
to Carpenters picture of signing the
"Emancipation Proclamation" and the
figures therein, has attracted some. at
tention, particularly, as the speaker al
luded to the various portraits which it
contains without naming the persons
alluded to, with the exception of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The Emancipation
Proclamation was signed September,
1862, in the presence, 1t is presumed, OF
the whole Cabinet, to wit: Messrs. Stan
ton, Chase, Seward, Welles, Smith
Blair and Bates. The two figures of
statesmen and patriots,p on the right
of tho President, who "during all the
trials and vieissitudes of these evcntful
years have remained steadfnst to liberty,
to justice and to the principles of con-
stitutional government" whose names
Mr.. Boutwell, says, he Twill not venture
to pronounce in this presence y areth
OF stanton and Chase. OF the five per-
sons represented on the left of tho Pres
ident, Mr.. Boutwell, says one Is no long
or living---''hs died before the evil DAYS
came" He refers to Caleb ID. Smith,
Secretary of tho Interior, who resigned
In January, 1868. OF the other four, he
says three have been active in counsel
Ing and supporting the President in his
attempt tosubvert the government; they
are already ruined men," This refer
ence is to Seward, Welles and Biair-the
latter not in the Cabinet now, but an
active supporter of "my policy.n The
fourth figure is that of Mr.. Bates, of
Missouri, who WAS Attorney-General
under Mr.. Lincoln. There have been so
many exciting events that have occurred
In this country since January !, 1868,
that there are very few who can clearly
remember even the changes in the most
prominent efllces.- .-[Philadelphla Bull

THE CROPS.

The growing crops are regarded by the
public ct large with lively interest. 1t
would be surprising were 1t otherwise,
when we take into consideration the gem
eral condition of the country, and the
high prices prevailing for the necessa-
ries Of life. The future of the business
community and of the laboring classes,
even more than that of the farmer, de-
pends upon the result of thenext harvest.
If this shall be favorable, business will
prosper and the necessities of the masses
of the people will be greatly relieved
On the other hand, If the harvest should
fail to serious extent, pinching times
and dragging trade can not be prevent
ed.
What then is the crop prospect. Two
weeks ago ii was gloomy. A severe WIN
ter, late spring, and unreasonable frosts,
had damaged the wheat, and was suppos-
ed to have destroyed the fruit. But good
growing weather has since materially
changed the appearance of things. Wheat
fields that promised trifling crops are
now looking pretty well, and the fruit,
it turns out, is, in the main, safe. There
are sections in which wheat will partial
ly fail, but, upon the whole, the pros
poets now are favorable for better ag-
gregate crop than has been realized with
In the three years passed. A note re-
ceived from an intelligent observer at
Bridgeport, Indiana, corresponds with
the average of the information that is
now coming to hand. This wreter says:
The crops are generally an average in
quality, and wheat is more than an aver
age in number of acres sown. Fruit OF
all kinds promise very large yield.
, or the spring crops nothing, of course,
can be said as yet, except that farmers,
stimulated by high prices, and the gem
eral deficiency in supplies, are doing
their best in the way of planting. The
ground is in good order to give ar early
start to seed, and the genial sunshine,
with warm showers that prevail, are
bringing Vegetation rapidly forward.
1t may be said, therefore, that the
prospects are favorable for a year OF plen-
ty. or course the final crisis has not yet
been passed or~even reached, and the
sanguine hopes of tho present may be
blasted at later period, but just now
there Is everything to encourage the far
msr to go ahead.-[Cin. Gaz.
