The chief Justice,
fFrom az Mc,p Yerk Sans


It is reported in the GAINESVILLE Courier
that Chief Justice Chase has written to
friend in that town a letter warmly
In favor of the election of Grant and
Colfax.
This is but what was to be'expected
Of a statesman of Judge Chase's charac-
ter and position. Any complaint
against his action on the part of MEM
beers of the Democratic party would be
uniounded and unjust. The Chief JUS
tice was ready to Identify himself with
the Democracy il they would adopt
those progressive and truly Democratic
principles which the situation OF the
country and their own condition as a
party made It their duty to adopt. He
drew up such a platforms; and it was
submitted for their consideration.
They refused to have 1t, preferring to
| fight over again the battles of the war
as allies of the defeated, but not salts
fed, Confederates. That was the end
of all negotiations between the Demo-
Gratis and the Chief Justice. They were
not willing to come to the high ground
where he had always stood, and
1 whence, as he emphatically announc
ed, he would not depart. Their conclu-
sion left him without any obligation 10
vote for the Democratic candidates,
and he can not be charged with the
slightest tergiversation In giving his
support to Grant and Colfax.

Cheap Ice Houses-.A Good Plan.

A family ice house need not be an ex-
pensive structure. 1t may be built
cheaply, subserve it's object eXcellently,
and add to the attractions of home
stead by being a slightly object. A
building of twelve feet square, and
eight or nine feet high is sufficient for
the wants of the most exacting family.
1t may be frame building, entirely
above the surface of the ground, and
better if supported on posts, elevated a
few inches, to be certain cf good drain
age. Bailt of joists, two by three
inches, with an outer boarding, having
inside another series of uprights, also
boarded, from six to ten inches removed
from the outer shell, with solid floor
of plank, the space between the two
walls filled with tan, sawduSt, straw, or
chaff, and roof of good pitch, the ice
house is complete. A drain for water
should be made from the floor, and the
space above the uprights, between a
loose flooring and the pitch of the roof,
filled with straw, hay or some similar
dry, porous material. On the roof
should be ventilor, the top defended
frem the rain or snow.
The ice should be packed in one solid
mass, the sides not reaching the inner
walls of the building, but allowing a
space of from six to twelve inches all
round. The. top of the ice should be
covered with straw, and the door should
be like the sides of the building, OF
double doors should be made, one in
the outer and the other in the inner
wall. Plant morning glories or any
climbing plant around the building and
induce them to creep up the walls and
over the roof as an additional defence
against the fervid sun of summer.

Handsome mud Well Deserved

The Martinsburg Ne,r Era handsome
ly acknowledges the worth and services
of j. n. CAMDEN, Esq, of Parkers-
burg, the popular candidate of the
Democracy of West Virginia for Gov
ernor, at the late election. We extract
the New Era's pleasant words and are
happy to add our conviction that they
are well-merited:
AS near as we can learn, Stevenson's
majority is about 400 The Democrat
ic party, without organization in a
large majority OF the counties, made a
gallant aud determined fight against
the tyranny of BOreman's bayonets and
the frauds of registration. The actlvl'
ty infused into the campaign was in q
great measure due to the gallant leader
ship of our candidate for Govern
or. Hon. Johnson n. Camden. No
better selection for that position
could possibly have been made. The
nomination was forced upon him
against his own desires by the Grafton
Convention. Bat once installed the
standard-bearer of his party, he dis
charged the duties with a fidelity, a
faithfulness and an earnest, honest ac-
tivity which have won the praise and
commendation of every Democrat and
Conservative liz the State. In the near
future, when the people of West Vir'
ginia, acting under the impulse of So
Der second thought, shall redeem the
State from the thraldom of Radical
misrule, johnson n. Camden will not be
forgotten as having led the Conserva.
tive hosts in their infant struggle:
for freedom and justice.

A Hard Rnte

1t is recorded of our old friend Blue
beard, not as he is rehashed by NJ. Oten-
bach, but as we remember him in the
original chronicle, that he paid an an
nual visit to the unhappy closet in
which the bodies of his murdered wives
were concealed from public and vulgar
scrutiny. 1t must have afforded genu-
inc consolation to his heart thus sadly,
yet sternly, to contemplate the forms OF
contumacious womanhood no longer
able to rebel, and to reflect that justice
is unyielding as she is blind; for, in the
time of Bluebeard, hardly less than in
our own time, treason was made odious
and rebels punished. So long as Blue
beard lived, and so long as the closet in
his castle remained to him, he could
not be entirely wIetched; and in nothing
was the mercy of providence and tho
good baron's excellent behavior mere
clearly demonstrated than by the stimuli
taneous destruction of the one and the
other, of Bluebeard, castle, closet and
all, at one fell sweep of destiny.
Mr.. Secretary Stanton is less fsrtu-
nate, and therefore we must suppose
him more undeserving of providence.
Fort Lafayette is gone, but he remains.
Never more may he visit the sanctuary
of justice and freedom, except to gaze
upon it's ruins. Never more may he
look through those iron easements and
consider how sweet is little brief
authority. Out of his majesty did he
build it up and consecrate it in the name
of liberty; and out of heavens resent
hnr ID Nv
Unhappy man! He lives, but the shrine
is gone.
"ro walk about spectre DER the land,
Nor know one spot congenial TO his soul"
Could his bitterest enemy wish him a
worse fatei Is this not punishment
enoughf Think how he must have felt
when he read the news; what poignant
regret must have seized his heart; what
a thrill of sorrow taken possession of
him; and as one who hears that his
monument has been destroyed, or his
effigy suspended from some swinging
limb or lamp-post, how he must have
burned and turned cold with alternate
floods of anger and bereavement, of
mortified vanity and impotent rage. 1t
is over now, and all that is of Fort La
fayette is the memory of Stanton's
happy days and a few hundred graves
that memorialize the stars in his behalf.
He may 60 there now by night and
peruse the spot under the mooishine
and ponder on the vanity of power and
the ingratitude of republics. But he
must not look to build it up agaiu, for
its fallis ominous. He will not be Sec
retsry of War again. They may send
him out of the country-perhaps they
will send him-and this must suffice.

a New and Promising Troiter

A new light has appeared in the trot-
ting worlaAa light that sheds addl-
tional iustre on the fame of Major Win
flelG as a stallion. Mountain Boy has
half brother, which, if all reports prove
true, is a marvel of speed. The horse is
a bay, sired by Major Winfield, and out
of a mare now twenty three years old
The marc was a fast roadster in her
Younger days, driveR at Albany, bred
in Kentucky, but pedigree unknown.
She has a blOod-like look, and
all who have seen her pro-
nounce her we'll bred. The four year
old was bred by Mr.. John J. Bogert, of
Closter Station, Bergen county, New
Jersey. He is bay, fifteen and half
hands high, and a natural trotter. We
are told that the first time he was ever
speeded he made his time in 3l9t. Re
ports are current that he has trotted
wonderfully fast, and in the last few
weeks the value of the horse has stead
! ily increased, the price set on him now
being $4,000. On Wednesday, Octo.
Der IA, he trotted a race of
mile heats over the Seacaucus
race-course, and won the first
race in 2:33, and the second in 2:35. All
aqree that the Winfield colt is remark
able four-year old, and bright future
is predicted for him. Mr.. Bogert, the
breeder, informs us that the colt was
raised a pet, and shat child eau tondle
him. He is gentle driver, and jogs
along with the quietness of an old horse
When he was two years old he was
made a geldiBg, and it was net pre-,
sumed he would show such a wonderful

his death, and his body was followed to
the grave by about five thousand peo-

have been very charitable, and was uni
versally beloved, which speaks much
more in praise of his character than
does the enormous wealth which he had

Sowing Blue Grass

A writer in the Prairie Farmer, who
has paid attention to the habits and
character OF blue grass, says it should
be sown in February or March, after a
light fall of snow if practicable, as this
serves as guide in the distribution o.
the seed. A bushel of seed in the chatf
or even less, will do if other seed is
mixed with it. Blue grass appears del,
icate at first, but acquires spread and
vigor from being pastured. 1t does not
do we'll as meadow, as the stronger
grasses smother and kill it out. This
grass is great treat to neat stock-ex'
cellent for dairy aud beef purposes.

Hogs, CurcaIio and Peach Orchard,

hOXs, SuTShiho uuo EcdCu OFCua rus
The Messrs. Winters, of Du Quoin,
have kept hogs in their peach orchards.
They pick up the fallen fruit. The
second year after they ad opted this idea
but little comparatively of the fruit was
,tung, and for the past three years
their loss from curculio has been of no
consequence. The same plan has been
adopted by A. Mitchell, Esq, with the
most satisfactory results. Where it is
net practicable to keep hogs in an or
chard every particle of fallen fruit
should be picked up and fed to hogs,
OF otherwise disposed of, so that the
grub in it cannot live. The stung fruit
should never be allowed to lie on the
ground during the night, for the grub
leaves the diseased fruit only at night,
and burrows in the ground. If every
fruit grower would use these sugges,
tions, and endsayor to eradicate this
pest, its ravsges would cease or soon be-
come comparatively light.
