SLANDERING SoLDIERs.-A few days ago
we gave place in our coldmnsto a commn-
nication from Mr.. James Venable, q return
ed soldier living at Edgington, who com
planned that c. Augustus Haviland, o loya
radical claim agent at Davenport, had swim
died him out of S. IN collecting his bounty.
Haviland denies that he charged toe much,
aud claims that $40 is the regular fee for
collecting 800. We have only toSsayz that
no more than S. iias ever been charged fer
such aservice by the claim agents of Rock
Island, and we think that il al allowed by
Law. Besides this, yenabe says Haviland
agreed to charge him only s., and then
when he got the money into his hands went
back on his promise and charged him $40.
This Haviland publishes alittie adverlisiag
sheet, called "TheNsSoldiers' Friend" The
kind Ola ...triendsahe is to soldiers i shown
by charging them double mhathe promised
to charge them.

The PRESIDENTS CoUNsEL.-Tbe
last hope of those who would screen
the President from just verdict on
his offenses against the laws, is in the
assumed ability of his counsel. 1t is
pretended they will be more than a
match for the Impeachment Manag-
ers, especially in their readiness and
skill to deal with interlocutory mat
tiers. But it is to be borne in mind
that this is not case nor tribunal
where sharp practice will amount to
much. The charges will be tried in
their substance, and according to the
Judgment Of Senators accustomed to
act under a grave sense Of public re-
SponSlbility, and not after the style of
criminal court, where a wrong word
IN the Indictment or technical mis-
take in the pleadings outweigh all the
facts Of the case. Aud then. AGAIN.
it is a tribunal to which Messrs. Stan
berry and Curtis, whatever the extent
Of their professional experience, are
as new, and hardly as we'll fitted, as
the counsel on the other side. The
rules are all peculiar, assimilating
quite as closely to deliberative as to
! judicial bodies, and the great MAORI
ty of difficult questions that may
arise cannot be settled by reference
to ordinary court proceedings.
We apprehend, therefore, that
Messrs. Bingham Boutwell,, Butler,
and their associates, will not expert
ence any particular difficulty in con-
Quoting the prosecution of impeach-
ment against whatever of skill or tai
ent may be possessed by MeSSrs. Stan
berry, Curtis, Nelson and Black. Ger
tainly the absurd manner in which
the latter led off by demanding forty
days for filing the Presidents answer,
is not very we'll calculated to assure
those who have placed any special
hopes on the Overtowering ability of
the Presidents counsel. The truth
is, Andrew Johnson Is not to be saved
by expedients Of any kind If the

candid judgment of the American

he would prefer early cut hay to ell
Their.
j. w. Simpson believed gentlemen
were mistaken in the theory that the
grass crop was the only, or most pro-
ftable crop. He thought that roots
should be raised more; would not
raise potatoes for starch, but would
raise rutabagas and mangold wurtzels
to feed stock; forty tons OF either
could be raised on an acre, three tons
of which would be of equal value OF
one ton of hay to feed in connection
with hay. If this was true more stock
could be kept, more manure made and
consequently farms improved he was
in favor of southern corn to raise as
a grass crop to feed COWS when the
pastures began to fail thought top

About Phosphates.

We publish the following report of
the committee appointed by the Gale
donia County Agricultural Society to
examine the different phosphates, be-
lieving it will he Of interest to farm
ers and others who have an acre to
cultivate. There is no doubt, we think
but that the article manufactured at St.
Johnsbury, is tie best offered to the
public,
Erecutire Committee Of CQtedonia
County agricultural Society.
GENTLEMEN The Committee to
whom was referred the subject Of ex-
aiming the Super PhosphateS now
offered for sale in the county, would
respectfully report that we have at
tended to that duty, and so far as the
means at hand would allow have
chemically tested them.
Anything like complete compare
tive analysis would be attended by a
good deal of expense, and, as there
were no funds appropriated for that
purpose, it was not undertaken
But the committee have ample evi-
dence to support them in the conclu-
sion that the farmers are importin g
as soluble Super Phosphate large
quantities of eXtraneouS matter sold
under the names of Super Phosphate
which do not supply that clement to
Fthe soil SO necessary to recuperate
its exhausted powers.
1t would be well in this connection
perhaps to say that the strong odors
given to the manurial preparations
sold as Phosphate, are not essentia
to pure Super Phosphate of lime
which is light in color and without
: odors.
In the examination of the differen
, Phosphates offered for sale here i
, does not require the aid Of a chemis
to detect various impurities and adul
terations. Spent tanbark, muck, DC.
enter largely into the composition OF
t many of them, reliance being place.
e by the manufacturers upon the i'm
! mediate stimulating effect Of the VIOLA
tile gasseS to secure a ready sale.
In the opinion of your committe
the Super Phosphate manufactured b

- to obtain.
. They make no secret of their mod
u of operating, from the grinding of tn
e bone to the completion of the process
e By actual tests it contains NOR
IS than double the amount of solubl
Super Phosphate contained in an
sample out of quite a number now b,

n We are gratified at this result O
i, our examination and trust that tE
l. farmers may second the effort bein
a put forth to secure a real Supe
Phosphate, unauthorized by ia
bark, barytes or muck, however GU
y ningly the name be disguised.

We, the undersigned members Of the
Committee appointed by the EXecu-
tive Committee Of the Orleans COun-
ty agricultural Society, to confer with
the directors Of the "Orleans Fair
Ground Company" have this day met
the directors of said company and
with them have visited the grounds
where our fair is located for the next
five years. We find the grounds dry
and the site delightful and easy Of
access from the village, and a soil pc.
culiarly adapted to the grading of a
fine track. We have examined the
! places for the buildings they propose
TO erect and are well pleased with
them, The buildings will he spacious
and very pleasant. We conferred
with the directors of the Fair Ground
Company as to the location of the
buildings, cattle and sheep pens anC
horse stalls upon the grounds. AnC
after a full examination can with con
tidence say to the society that before
our Fair in September next, we shall
have as nice grounds fitted up, and a.
good buildings erected for our US,

PRICE OF BUTTER. The Troy Wing
says that the price of butter in that
market averages from fifty-fve to six
ty cents per pound. In Albany it is
sixty-seven cents per pound. Not
with8tanding the extraordinary high
prices charged for this article, it is
stated that an Albany dealer has four
tons of it in a store house in that city.
No wonder the supply is limited-in
the markeU-and the price high.
