Political Matters.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel says that
the Indiana delegation to the New
York Convention will stand undivided
in the support of Mr.. PENDLEToN.
What does Mr.. WHITTLEsEY, the
delegate from the First District, and
the Evansville Courier, say to this?
The editor of the Batesville (Ark.)
Republican says of the Legislature of
that State, elected under the Recon
struction Act:
There is one remarkable feature
pertaining to the present General
Assembly which is worthy of par
ticular note, viz: There is not a
member in either the Senate or
House Of Representative who caonot
lcTlte has CiCp lldn9e In plain, legible
hand! And we now assert, without
fear Of successful contradiction Re-
cause we are prepared to prove IT'D,
that it Is the first General Assembly
ever convened IN Arkansas in which
there were not members who could
n0tWrite their own names.fE sE
This IS a significant fact, and one
which we commend to the especial
consideration of the advocates of in
telligence suffrage. -r

LONDON, MAY 18LThe news Of the
acquittal of johnson on the 18th ar
ticIe created a Profound sensation.
Most of the journals have editorials
thereon. The Times says the article
was almost too vague for a substantial
charge. but the vote corrects all fear
Of any party bias, and shows that the
case was judged on It's merits alone.
The Telegraph says dignity and
decOFum have marked the whole
trial, and the non-removal of the
President Is most fitting close.
Even the most ultra Radicals will be
compelled to admit this at no distant
day.
The Standard says the Radical plot
has been beaten, and the country
saved from the shame of deposing It's
Chief Magistrate for refusing to obey
an illegal act of Congress.
LONDON, May 18.-The Morning
Post considers the vote on the
Eleventh Article Of Impeachment as
conclusive, and says the result Of this
trial demonstrates fully that the
Radicals certainty of success is the
only excuse for their taking such
step as impeachment. After all, if
right is vindieated, that result is due
to accident.
The daily Nelcs takes widely diff
ferent grounds In its comments, and
thinks the vote is not conclusive Of
the whole case.

ence but want of shelters Both had re-
ceived the same treatment during the pre-
yious summer. and the soil on each side of
the hill is very similar.
Not only is shelter from the winds OF win
ter indispensable 10 the highest success in
growing certain kinds of fruit, but shelter
in spring and summer is also highly desira-
bic. Recently, when the young leaves were
just developing their beauty, there came
gale from the south, and continued to blow
for several hours in succession, tearing and
blackening the foliage somewhat to the in
jury of the tree. Again in autumn, the
trees are often torn and twisted and the fruit
scattered about by the wind because the
orchard Is exposed 10 its full sweep. 1t
cannot, OF course, be said that all the evil
effects Of the wind and cold are tchoLly
owing to the destruction of the forests II
is fair to admit, that years age, before the
country was 50 open, there were OCCASION
ally winters when trees were injured; but it
cannot be denied that great changes have
taken place.
In selecting place for vineyard in the
Northern and Western States where the win
tiers are severe or the winds strong, choose
place. Ii possible, on the southeast, south,
or possible the southwest side OF HILL
all the better If its top be covered with trees
| or II West, where hills are not so plenty as
in New England, choose the leeward side
Of belt OF timber. Many excellent spots
may be found where no artificial protection
would be needed the southern slope is al
ready formed, the trees already grown.
When this cannot be found naturally, then
the deficiency, so far as possible, must be
supplied By the planting Of deeiduous and
evergreen trees, especially the latter. While
decituous trees answer good purpose fol
protection from winds In summer, and assist
in doing the same in winter. still eyergreens
are much better To furnish shelter during the
cold weather If high fences or buildings
afford 50 great a shelter as we have claimed
why will not high hedge Of Norway spruce
or some tree equally well adapted to iht
purpose, give just the shelter required by Tho
