Grant n Kuow-Nothing-AN New Gimp.
ter in His History.
From the st. Louis Times, a4th.I

| THE story has been bruited abroad
for many months that General Grant
was a Know-nothing. The persistent
assertion of o falsehood that General
Blair was once a member of the dark
lantern fraternity has caused Grants
relations to the order to be Investigated.
1t is at last ascertained, beyond ques-
tion, that General Grant was a regular
member of the Wyoming council, in
Garondelet township. Recently the
records of this council were in exist
ence. More recently they have been
destroyed or concealed. If evidence be
required of facts here recited, ,re can
produce iring iritneSses Who irere present
when U. S. Grant, enveloped in the flag
of his country, swore "before God and
in the presence of these witnesses" that
he would never concede an Office or the
right of suffrage to foreign-born Amer
lean citizen.
Colfax, as none deny, was promi-
nent, active member of the dark Ian
tern proscriptive order, but Grants
connection with the organization has
been studiously concealed. Must we
ascribe the adhesion of New Englanders
to Grant to the fact of his Know Moth
ingismi We had deemed it enough, in
accounting for the conduct Of New
England, to say that it was the land of
bondholders and tariffs; but the devel-
opment of the fact of Grants Know
Nothingism unfolds another reason for
the devotion of the East to two candi-
dates, Grant and Colfax, both sworn
enemies to the intervention of for
eigners in the conduct and administra-
tiOn of public affairs in this country.
The Importance of facts now unfold
ed, to which there are many living wit
nesses, is confessed by Radical politi-
clans in their assaults upon Democratic
candidates in this city. 1t is fixed
fact that Grant, as well as Colfax, was
a Know Nothing, and no living man
will dare say he ever resigned" We
have, too, in facts cited, an exposition
of Grants famous edict against the
Jews. No man, unless thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit of Know Nothing
ism, would have issued decree so in
sulting to foreign born populations, AID
if the fact Of Grants connection with
the order was not asserted by his fell
low members, the inference from his
conduct led Enthusiastically to the con-
clusion. Let it not be forgotten that
Grant and Colfay were burHing lights
when dark lanterns" blazed most bril-
liantly.

The Difference Between Native Vir-
sinians and the CarPet-Baggers.
From the New York Herald.

The Richmond Radical organ has just
discovered that "a Republican in Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey
Michigan, &C., may be perfectly ortho
dox in any one of these States, but il
Virginia he may be political heretic,
and that he may carry to Virginia al
the political prejudice against the ne
gro which he held in his own State oil
when at home. The organ we quote re.
CARDS it as "no wonder that these gen
tlemen coming from their homes, where
negro suffrage is not tolerated, should
be Mortified not only at negro suffrage
but at the still greater political mon
strosity of allowing negroes to hold
office. The fact exists and cannot be
denied, that the prejudice of these gen.
tlemen against the political rights OF
the colored men are as strong, if moi
stronger, than those of native Virgin
ians who have been raised up with the
colored people from their earliest in
fancy" This is precisely the argument
the Herald has been using in regard to
the true friends of the blacks ever
since the controversy commenced. We
have contended all along that the Nor
thern adventures now overshadowing
the South were cheats and humbugs,
and were only using the backs of the
blacks to carry themselves into politi-
cal power. 1t seems to have taken a
long time for this chief Radical organ
in Virginia to discover this fact and to
learn that such white native born Vir-
ginians as Henry A. Wise, John Miner
Bolts, Judge Alexander Rives and
others, who have been long ia
miliar with. the wants, neces-
sites and capacity of the negro from
childhood, are the proper persons in
whom the colorea population can re-
pose confidence. Now that this fact
has been acknowledged by the Radicals
in Virginia, we expect to see a similar
admission from States beyond her bor-
ders, and, finally, the truth generally
avowed that the question of the politi-
cal status of the black race can be left,
with more security to that race, to the
Judgment and honor of the native
whites than to all the carpet-baggers
and Northern Jeremy Diddlers who can
be gathered together from the Aroos-
took to the meuth of the Ohio.

The New York Trnde Tyraut.

A. T. Stewart, the great dry goods
king of New York, has lately succeeded
in crushing his Union Square rivals
Messrs. Sherwin x Co., who failed a
short time ago for very large amount
1t is well known of Stewart that he
will never brook opposition or competi,
tion. Once having determined to re-
move an obstacle, its doom may be re-
garded as settled. Some years ago, he
wanted a store adjoining his own that
was at the time occupied by a carpet
dealer doing a prosperous and flourish
ing business. The party in possession
laughed at Stewards request to aban-
don it. Stewart Immediately i'm.
ported carpets and sold them at
prime cost, thus soon destroying mis-
neighbours business and forcing him
into bankruptcy. More recently, a
milliner in Broadway occupied store
on a block Stewart desired to pur.
chase, and refused to move and give up
her business to suit his convenience
He Immediately opened the same des'
cription of store in an adjoining
building, and soon succeeded in driv'
ing her out of the business and into
poverty. AS soon as Messrs. Sherwin &
Co. opened their dry goods palace at
Union Square, in opposition to
Stewart, the latter resorted to
his old tactics, with what
success the recent heavy failures of the
would-be rivals illustrates. All thi:
seems to be considered greatly to Stew.

FARM YARD MANURE.



BY THOMAS D. couRsEY' OF KENT CO., DEL
Much il said in the agricultural column
of all the papers that devote any space to
that department, about farm yard manure ;
the best mode of increasing the quantity,
and applying the same to the land. This is
well, yery we'll. vet there seems to be an
erroneous opinion among farmers relative
to the extent of Improvement attainable by
this means. and find that the error is not
alone with Delawareans. For intelligent
gentlemen of the North with whom have
correspoRded, seem to entertain the opinion
that land will never become poor if allowed
to remain in grass a considerable portion of
the time.
They argue that with the manure accum.
ulation from the straw and fodder Of cereal
crops, and hay, returned to the land, and it
left in grass for several years, it will recu-
perate to the extent of the loss while under
cultivation with cereals, forgetting, per-
haps, that considerable portion of the fer
tilizing element of the soil had been carried
off in corn and wheat, or in the bones and
hair, &C., of animals to which it had been
fed.
1t is true that grass, especially clover, will
If allowed to remain ON the land restore to
the arabic surface soil supply of strawgrow-
ing elements and portion also for grain {:
but there is limit to this. clover reaches
far beyond the point at which cereals gather
their food and manure does not reach the
sub-soil so as to enrich it and keepa store on
hand for clover when it comes around, con-
sequently the elements OF the sub-soil must
eventually become exhausted. Professor
Liebig says that when these deep layers be-
come exhausted the stores in the surface
soil will soon be consumed and that g This
is the natural termination of cultivation

Cut the veal into slices, a quarter of an
inch thick, lay them ON the gridiron with
an equal number of slices of salt pork be-
side them. When cooked, put the veal on
the dish, butter, salt and pepper it well, and
lay the salt pork on the top of it. Veal
needs to broil good while, till it looks done
when cut open.
Breiled Mutton Chops.
These must be broiled over quick fire
and not cooked as much as veal.

BILE spoonful of yeast and salt spoonful Of
salt; mix these ingredients with sufficient
flour to make thick batter; add table
spoonful of melted lard TO the milk while
warm, beat the eggs, and mix with the
milk; let it rise four or five hours, and bake
it in muffin rings. This can be made OF un-
bolted flour, adding two large spoonfuls of
molasses, and it is very good.
To Prepare Good Toast.
Toast the bread very quick, dip each slice
in boiling water as soon as you have toasted
it, and then lay thin bits Of butter over it I;

bonnet is very useful for this. Make milk
toast in the same way keeping the milk at
nearly boiling heat. 1t is better to spread
the butter ON thin to the toast, after it is
dipped in hot milk, than to melt il in it.
An Excellent Indian Pudding, without
Eggs.
Take seven heaping spoonfuls of Indian
meal, half IA tcaspooniul OF salt, two spoon
tuls Of butter or sweet lard, "a tcacup OF mo-
lasses, aud two teaspooniuls of ginger, or
cinnamon, TO the taste; q prefer ginger, If
strong) pour into these a quart OF milk while
boiling hot; mix well, and put it in but
tered dish, or pudding pan; just as you set
it i'll the oven, stir in teacup of cold water
which will produce the same effect nearly
as eggs. Bake three quarters Of an hour in
a deep dish. A very cheap and wholesome
dish. Eat with or without sauce, but better
with.

One quart of Indian meal sifted; heap
ing spoonful Of butter; one quart of milk
a salt spoonful of salt; two tablespoonius
of distilery yeast and one Of molasses. Let

hour. Graham or unbolted flour is good,
