DR.. FELL IN THE UNITED STATES SEN-
ATE.-The celebrated case of DR.. Fell has
never been looked upon as one Of high
legal authority, yet it is the case apparent
" upon which the United States Senates
will rest decision against the President :
] do not like you, DR.. Fell;
The reason why I cannot tell;
But this, indeed, ] know full we'll,
/ do not like you, DR.. Fell.
DR.. Fell had apparently been gritty OF
no tangible offence but that was matter
of no consequence he had no business to
be such a person as people would not like.
Being such person as Radicals do not
like, is now the Presidents offence They
condescended to coue to particulars, and
made charges against him. They are un.
able to prove these charges, and SO they
will remove him anyhow--not because he
is guilty If any offence, but because they dc
not like him. New York Herald.

UTTERLY FRIESDLEss.-It was though
that G. w. Ashbarne had some friends
among the Radicals in Columbus. Several
appeared to live upon his smile, and fawn-
ed and licked his boots while he had inhu-
epce to secure Office When dead, all
their love was gone. His son yesterday
asked Democratic gentleman to join the
funeral procession. The gentlemen de-
cined on account ofurgent business, and
asked him if no Radicals bad proffered as
sistauce. The son replied none had done
so. Negro women, and not many ofthose
had been.the only ones to offer kindness to
the dead. The coffin, we are told, was
purchased by the city, Columbus lGa.)

NO. The result of the election in Chi
,cago on Tuesday is peculiarly gratifying
when we recall the fact that the Democrats
made gain Of nineteen hundred and four
votes over the last Congressional election
in 1866; and in another view, as showing
the Importance which the Radicals attach
to it; for we learn from the Chicago Re-
publican Of Monday, that "To-morrow's re.
sultin Chicago will be taken as on indica-
ton Of how the West stands politically
and how Illinois will go ir November. It
lis the last great election that will take

Ihibodaux Sentinel, ofthe I'd, says:
On last Saturday morning negro was
shot whilstsquietly pursuing his daily labor
in the field, some four miles above this place.
He was working With a white man and
both were within few feet Of each other
when the shot was fired. Several buckshot
entered the neck and shoulders of the ne
gro, bat we believe that he is still living,
though in precarious condition. The as
sassin was concealed outside Of the fields,
and no suspicion has yet been fixed upon
any one for the dastardley act. Another
negro was brutally beaton and, it is said,
killed near Labadieville, about ten days
ago. He is reported to have voted the
Democratic ticket, and received this reward
from his colofed friends, under the teach
ings Of the pious Conway & Co.

RIGHT AND LEFr-HAND PLows.-We
copy as follows from the st. Louis Journal
Of Agriculture:
Whether pillow should be made to turn
furrow to the right or lefthas been sub
ject for discussion among farmers from
time immemorial; but the matter seems
not to have been SO much subject Of dis
nute between individuals as between DIFF
ferent sections of the country. A "New
Highlander" would as noon think of using
a left-hand scythe as lelt-hand pillow, and
"a Pennsylvania is thoroughly convinced
that none but left-hand pillow is fit to-
work with.
Examining the subject without preju-
dice, we shall see that both parties are
right, and that other circumstances have
much to do with the convenience Of turn
ing the furrow to the right or left. In
New England it is the custom to drive the
team with two reins, consequently if there
lis driver he must walk on the "near" side.
and Of course prefers to walk on the un-
plowed land. If there is no driver it is
still much more convenient to have the un-
plowed land on the left side.
In Pennsylvania and parts Of the South
and West plowmen usually drive with one
line; this is attached to the linear" horse,
and of course he must govern the team.
| Now If a right-hand pillow is used, the "of"
horse walks in the furrow, and consequent
! " governs the direction Of the pillow, and
like every other case of divided power,
produces confusion. A left.hand plow
remedies all this BY putting the "near''
horse ia the furrow.
Farmers should remember what kind oil
I team they propose to use with it when
they buy pillow. An OK team should al.
ways have right hand pillow. For horses
l it may be right or left, according to how
are driven. This circumstance alone
1 should decide which hand pillow to buy, be
cause it is the only one which can affect
the case. 1t can by no possible means
make the least difference whether the fur
row is turned to the right or left, SO far al
1 the future crop is concerned.
1 The question then is not really whethe
right or left hand pillow is best, but wheth
: er with one or two reihs is the best man
ner OF driving the team. This will be de
cided by the prejudices Of different section
: Of the country, and,-with good teams, j
, really Of no consequence.

Pendleton- Chase Hancock.
from the Wash. {April 2l) Cor. of the

pENDLEroN's NOMINATION

PENDLET0N'S NOMINATION..
The Endorsement Of Pendleton by the
Illinois Democratic Convention, secures his
nomination at New York, beyond any
reasonable doubt, notwithstanding the ef-
forts that are being made to get up feel
ing in favor of Hancock, Dix, Blair, or
some other gentlemen. There is not now
and has never been any life in the Hancock
movement, or the Blair movement, or the
Dix movement, or any other Democratic
movement, except the Pendeton move
ment. Excepta few who are personally
interested in Peudleton's defeat at New
York there is not Western Democrat
who is not in his favor Something has
been said recently about nominating Mr.
Chase on such platformas would secure
the support Of the Democratic party but
believe that idea has been abandoned from
lack of support from Mr.. Chase himself,
who is not a Presidential candidate.
though he would like very much to be
President. There is not the least doubt
that if the Democrats would give their sup
port to Mr.. Chase he would carry every
Northern State, or very nearly every one.
But the project is visionary one, viewed
in the light Of party ties and party preju-
dlces. MIR. Chase neither asks nor expects
the Democratic party to support him, how
ever gratifed he might be to See them do
so. Nor is it much of secret in Wash
ington that as between Grant and Wade
and Pendleton and whoever else may be
nominated at New York, Mr.. Cbase's pre-
ferences will not be for the former. He
would be much less human and more d.
vine than men generally are in this world if
he were inclined to give his influence or
his support to men who have done their
best toSslander and nalign him in the ex-
ercise his highest judicial functions, and
to bring discredit on him as man because
he acted uprightly and coDseientionsly as
a Judge. So it need not astonish any one
to fnd many of Mr.. Chase's warmest per-
sonal friends actively and earnestly sup
porting the Democratic nominee next fall,
and that nominee will be Mr.. PendIeton,
beyond all doubt.
AN OBJECTION TO HANCOCK.
Talking, day or two ago, with a promi-
nent Democrat, he told me there was one
objection to Hancock which. though un-
reasonable, would have great weight among
the people. "That," said he, "ls his action
in the execution Of Mrs. Snrratt. Mrs.
surratt was Catholic and her execution
created q great deal Of feeling in the Catho-
lie Church. It is very true that Hancock
only nbeyed ORDERS, but still in obeyine
orders he hung woman who is now be.
lieved to have been innocent. Even Ben
Butler says she was innocent and called
Bingham murderer, almost, for prosecu
ting her. You can't 60 before the people
and say that Hancock only obcyed orders
They'll tell you that he ought to have
resigned his commission before oheying any
such an order; and a great many willrefasf
to vote for him because ~he didn't resigi
rather than hang that woman
