Moustier responded in like manner. and held that

The many friends of the Rev. ELI CoRwIS will
learn with sincere regret that he has accepted n call
extended to him by the Second Congregational Church
of Oakland. returning to his new field of duty during
October next. Mr.. Corwin is well fitted TO materially
a prosperous and substantial parish. Oakland Point,
the location of the church now in process of construc-
ton for Mr.. Corwin, is sure to become, from its
contiguity to San Francisco, an important adjunct TO
the metropolis. We can hardly wonder at the am
bition that prompts an earnest laborer to accept an
opening in so promising a field, while fully sympa-
thizing with the friends who regret his departure
from Honolulu where he has so long and happily re-
sided, we must congratulate the society in Oakland
upon so valuable and agreeable an acquisition.
The residents at Honolulu will be pleased to well
come CAPT. CHARLES BREWER, n passenger by the
MURRAY, who has been so long connected with Island
interests that his name is as familiar as household

Declines 10 Auswer

Desiring to show that the IRteltgen
GERS tumult about the Democratic NOM
/ inees for city Offices was as empty as the
head Of its author, we called upon that
sheet to set before the public the names
Of such of our candidates as it disliked,
! with any objections to them that could
be stated. AS might have been expect
ed, the Radical organ "sings mum" Wig
orously.
1t professed to be pandering to
the wishes of what it calls ''moder-
ate" Democrats, and to be speaking for
them in denouncing our ticket. When
asked for the names Of its prompters, i {
again craw6shed. 1t is clear then, that
its assertions are baseless, or that its
moderate" advisers are not such men
as will strengthen position by publicly
advocating it. Whether the HRtelh9eReer
is ashamed of them or they of the
IntelligeHcer is a matter of small moment
rs against the fact that no proof appears
20 substantiate its declarations, that
any Democrats have leagued themselves
with it to promote the interests OF
Rsdicalism in Wheeling.
The public will not be deceived by
! the InteIligeaeer's artifce in declining
. 70 "name the men" whose nomination
it thinks ought not to have been made,
1t declined because its opposition is
simply to the Democracy of the candi-
dates, and to admit this, is to confess its
own mendaSity.

Improving Our Pastures.

We rarely hear of any serious efforts
being made for the permanent improve
ment of our pasture lands. In many in
stances, in my region, where the soil is
we'll adapted to pasture, they are suffer
ed to remain for half century without
receiving even so much as n dressing of
plaster, TO say nothing of the more eff
cieut application of lime, which re-
gard as very valuable for the purpose.
As to plowIng or breaking them up, it
is rarely done and seldom thought of,
even by the mere judicious. Old usages
and old prejudices hold us with most
tyrannical grasp, and under their influ.
ence we often close our eyes to matters
which a moments candid and dispas-
siOnate reflection would convince us to
be of the greatest practical Importance.
1t is true that the deterioration Of soils
devoted exclusively to pasture is much
slower than that of those under cultiVa-
tiOn; much of the produce is returned
Immediately in the form ofmanure, and
there is generally an accumulation of
green vegetable matter annually, result
ing from the decay of the unconsumed
grasses upon the surface. Yet were we
to plow once every five, six or even ten
years-apply limited quantity of man
ure, harrow thoroughly and SOW mix
ture of seed-Say of the more hardy,
durable and nutritious grasses, ard then
top-dress at least once every other
spring with some cheap, concentrated
fertilizer, we should find that no portion
of the estate would better repay the
cost.
The extent of surface required to sus-
tain COW or an OK, would be, by this
process, diminished nearly twO-thirds,
while the feed would be vastly enchan-
ed in suceulence and value.
1t is now becoming quite common, on
most estates, to separate the varleus
kinds of animals, and to permit cows
and oxen only to run together in one
enclosure. These, especially If to i'm
prove blood, require extra pasture. The
"ShOrt Horn" never can be of value un-
less provided with extra fare, and the
same is perhaps equally true OF other
species of improved stock. The cost of
plowing and manuring pasture grounds
is not sufficient to render it any Obsta-
Gle when contrasted with its manifold
advantages. OF these one of the most
obvious and prominent after the increase
of product is the cleansing of the land
by the eradication of bushes, and such
vegetation in the shape of
sorrel, weeds and worthless grasses.
These always ohtrude upon lands devo-
ted to the pasture of cattle, occupying
the soil TO no advantage, and poisoning
and communicating q bad flavor TO the
feed.

A Cou.pirney Against the President

n conspiracy Against the Frcsiucat'
Washington (Jan l5) Correspondent Boston
Post
Facts which have been developed
within the last few days tend to prove
the existence of deep-laid conspiracy
against President Johnson. The i'm
peachment plot of Ashley has failed,
but the impcachers have not relaxed
their efforts or abandoned their pur-
poses to seize upon the Executive
Department of the Government. 1t is
now understood that series Of meas
ures have been agreed on, all looking to
collision with the Executive by fore
ing Mr.. johnson to become the aggres-
sor. A few days since resolution was
introduced into the Senate directing
the Judiciary committee to inquire
into the eIpsdiency of pro-
viding by law for the suspension of
an officer during his impeachment, and
arming the Senate with power to en-
force its orders. Then we have a bill
muzzling the Supreme Court, so that it
shall not interfere to arrest the progress
of the plot; while the Reconstruction
bill, now under consideration in the
House, strips the President of all his ex-
ecutive powers and clothes the General
commanding the armies with absolute
authority. The same bill makes it q
misdemeanor for the President to inter
tere with the exercise of this authority,
so that any attempt on his part to pro-
tect or defend the executive preroga-
tives, under the Constitution, becomes
o misdemeanor for which he may
be impaached. Thus, it is hoped,
the President will be forced
into q collision which will re-
suit in disappointment aud suspension
while Mr. Wade will quietly assume
the duties of President, with General
Grant to support his usurpation. As
this plot is now rapidly developing it
self, good men have become alarmed
lest the country be precipitated into a
civil war before the people can apply
the eorrectivss at the ballot box. The
Radicals now declare their purpose to
move ON boldly and TO accomplish their
ends by direct and positive legislation"
admitting that they have been seriously
damaged by former timidity and hesi-
tation.

German fellow-citizens some indication

The Club meeting at the Police Court
Room was unusually large. The room
was crowded almost to its utmost capac-

An able address delivered by our
young townsman, J. II. Coop, Esq, was
warmly received and loudly applauded.
We, are unable to hear his re marks
throughout but we learn that they were
fully up to his best efforts, and their ef-
feet was to arouse his hearers to exert
their utmost energies toward securing
for the entire Democratic ticket, large
ly increased majority.
The nominations made by the Con-

adjourned with the full determination
to labor throughout the coming week
to secure an unprecedented triumph for
our nominees on next Monday.
