ALL NEGROES. s.-Greeley boasts that
the Northern Methodist Church has
been established in every Southern
State, and that it numbers $50, 900
members in those States. We are
surprised that his figures are not
larger. Yet these members are all
negroes. The North should under
stand this. The whole radical party
in the South is negro. The Freed
mems Bureau is the radical party
machine that is marshalling and
marching tue negro. The radical
speakers, when they say "fellow-citi-
zens" at public meetings, but speak
to negroes. Gov. John Brown wells
has no other audiences but negroes.
and receives his pay as Governor
from the white people whom he in.
suits. When any OF the radicals
talk about "the people," they talk
about the negroes" and none else.
And yet these negroes are the beings
whom Northern people will not allow
to vote-who are not permitted by
Northern mechanics to work in the
same shops with themselves-who
are not permitted by the Freedmen's
Bureau in the South to be candidates
for Congress-and who are merely
used here to help strangers from the
North without character, whom no
respectable whites will trust, to get
| into office.-Richmond Dispatch.

Claims ofthe Radical Party upon tho
ColOrcd Mans Gratitude.


We have frequently reminded CO.
lored men that they are not indebted
to man but to Heaven for their
freedom. They were cmancipated to
kill the master and not to save tho
slave. Hear what New York men,
Der Of Congress himself says. In a
speech of Hon. W. E. Robinson,
delivered in the House of Represen-
tatives, May 13, 1868, occurs the fol-
lowing passage:
"Sir. it was not to abolish slavery
that the war was fought; and I say
that the Republican party have no
claim upon the colored population of
this country for anything they ever
did for them. I deny to them any
credit on that score. I stand here,
to-day, maintaining the same princi-
pies that I always maintained as q
Whig-a Henry Clay Whig-while r
can go around this Chamber and put
my hand on members A, B and G, who
were anti-negro Locofocos of the
worst stripe, who were prosecuting
the negro. when I was advocating
the rights that belonged to him. I
was opposed to slavery when these
men. who are now trampling down
our institutions and shouting for the
negro, were in favor Of slavery"

A few days ago youth of about six
teen came from the country to Boston t.
I'm a subordiate situation in one of oul
first mercantile houses. The head Of the
firm received the youth in the most kind
ly manner, and caused his son to take
the stranger around town and show him
the principal places during the afternoon
of his arrival. While amusing them
selves in this way the stranger youth told
his companion that, in coming along in
the train that morning, he had given a
boy a bright cent for pond lilly, and
that the cent having been mistaken for
a five cent one the vender of lilies had
paid him four cents back as change. The
merchants son questioned the honesty OF
the transaction, but the young man from
the country defended it on the score OF
its smartness. Shocked at the absence
of principle in his companion, the mer-
chants boy told his father of the trans
action, who next morning Intercepted
the young man from the country con-
corning it, and found that he was some
what inclined to pride himself on account
of the act.
"Was the cheating of apoor boy, per
haps, had sick mother to provide for
by his industry, not cruel, let alone its
injustice?" queried the good merchant.
1T was his lookout" the boy replied.
"Was your conduct not dishonest 2"
asked the merchant.
al don't know that it was. He ought
to have been smart enough not to give
me the money"
Young man." said the merchant, :" /
call your share in the matter stealing;
and if the four cents had been so taken
by me believe they would nave burned
hole in my pocket"
The youth boldly replied: "They
have not burned hole in mine, sir"
Disguised at discovering such moral
obliquity in the young man, the merchant
told him it was impossible that he could
employ one who exhibited such dishonest
notions concerning small thing, for in
matters of greater Importance the pos
SCISSOR of such loose ideas of honesty
would most likely giveway. With much
good advice the youth was sent home to
his father, with letter from the merchant
relating the affair stated above, and ex-
pressing regret that the circumstance had
completely shut the boy from his conf
dence. So the young man lost an excel
lent chance of succeeding in life, and it
is hoped that the lesson may teach him
that Honesty is the best policy. Dos

A NOVEL STYLE OF BATH.-The Ger
mans, who are metaphysically ingen-
ious people, have invented air-baths.
Airing, instead watering, places have
been established on the top of some of the
Rhine mountains, and provided with doc
tors, hotels, cottages, and all other nee
essaries fora summer sojourn. The mode
of taking these air baths is not described
in the journal from which this announce
ment is taken. Perhaps it is somewhat
similar to that of an eccentric old French
manwho once lived in Philadelphia. This
queer old gentleman used to wait till
every other member of the household
was safe in bed, and then, stripping him
self entirely naked, he would run rapidly
up and down the stairs, from attic to base
ment, several times, for the purpose, as
he said of taking an air bath. persons
of malicious dispo sition used to insin.
uate that this was the only kind of
bath the old Frenchman ever INDUCED
in.

Fall Ploughing.

Without celebrating the many strong
points in favor of Fall ploughing, few
of the more prominent benefits may be
briefly stated as follows;
/ August and September is good
time to turn over bound out sod land,
and manure and ieseed it at once to
grass, obtaining a crop of hay the fol-
lowing year.
2. October and November is an excel
lent time to break up sod land for plant
ing the following spring,
8. The weather is then cool and brac-
ing, and the team strong and hearty Tor
the work; while the weather in spring is
more relaxing and team less able; and
spring work being always hurrying, 1T
saves time to despatch as much Of the
ploughing as possible during the previous
autumn.
A. Sod land broken up late in autumn
will be quite free from growing grass the
following spring, the roots of the over
turned sward being 50 generally killed
by the Immediately succeeding winter
that not much grass will readily start in
spring.
5. The frosts of winter disintegrate
the ploughed land, so that it readily
erumbles in fine particles in spring, and
a deep, mellow seed bed is easily made.
The chemical changes and notifications
resulting from atmospheric action during
the winter, develope latent fertility in the
upturned burrows, which, together with
the mellowing influences, materially in
crease the crop.
6. Most kinds of insects are either
wholly destroyed, or their depredations
materially checked, by late fall plough
ing; especially the common white grub,
and the cut worm.
Z. Corn stubble land may be ploughed
late in fall, and thus be all ready for
early sowing in spring, thereby going far
to insure a good catch of grass; the
roots of the new seeding getting hold
well, or being well established before the
droughts of summer come on.
8. Most land in New England needs
deeper ploughing than has generally
been practised. Where the subsoil is
fine grained, and unctuous, and close, or
where there there is a hard pan of good
quality, deep ploughing' may be at once
resorted to, with decided advantage
Where the subsoil is poorer, the plough
ing may still be advantageously deepen
ed by degrees, say an inch at each new
breaking up. But in by far a majority
of cases, deep ploughing may be prac-
tised at once,-indeed, it may be the
rule, with safety, while shallow plough
ing may be the exception. Ploughing
say nine, ten, eleven or twelve inches in
November, the subsoil turned up will
grow several shades darker by spring
The frosts and atmospheric influences of
winter will mellow the soil, the morgan
ic elements and all latent fertility will
be made more active for benefiting the
crop. In spring, spread the manure and
plough it in, or otherwise work it in or
mingle it with the soil, to the depth say
of four inches, or little more or less,
and you have the very best attainable
condition for realizing good crops. Deep
er ploughing may thus be practised than
would at all times be safe, or expedient,
if the ploughing is delayed till spring.

THE CONVENTION.-.GOy. WORTH.

1t will be seen, by the proceedings Of
the Convention yesterday, that Gov.
Worth has responded to its notification
to him that it was in session, by a brief
message, whichis marked by a becom-
ing spirit. m,i a ,sf5sd+
1t is always better, while principle is
infexibly maintained, that there should
be peace instead of strife, between the
different branches of our government.
The idea that Mr. johnson has a gov
ernment in this State which is para
mount to the authority of Congress,
under which the Convention has been
called and is sitting, is absurd. Mr..
Johnson is himself the servant of the
law-making power. The provisional
government, headed by Gov. Worth,
exists simply at the will of Congress,
and would at once cease to have vitali-
tyif that body should so determine.
We trust we shall hear no more of
mongrel' and " so-calledn Convention.
Gov. Worth has himself recognized the
body. 1t is not to be presumed for a
moment that he would have held any
communication with body of pretend
ers and usurpers. ....,.-.
