A Candid Confession.

The Radicals, especially the patriotic and
diSinterested members of that party in the
South, have contended with much fervor,
making up in boldness what they fell short
in honesty, that the whole RECONSTRUCT
ton - policy of Congress was inaugurated,
and was the only hope for q complete res
toration Of the Union. On the other hand,
their political opponents insisted upon it
that the object was only to keep the party
in power, despite Of its utter condemna-
ton by the people. The New York Tribune,
notwithstanding its bitter party bias. occa-
sionally makes q candid confession, which
is rather in conflict with the professions Of
its party friends. In a lato issue in dis
cussing and defending, or rather excusing,
the reconstruction measures of Congress, it
says
1.-The Republicans, therefore, were absolutely
com elled to eufranchse the Southern Blacks or
submit 10 De expelled from poorer by the Southern
Whites Had they attempted to bid against the
DE- mocrats for the favor and support of tho late
Rebels, they would inevitably have been outdone
Blood ia thicker than water and the Democrats
and Rebels united 10ouId hare 0utnunabered and
0atSted The RepubljcGns surely az that five are
moro than four"
Now this statement is in exact accord, if
not in words, at least in spirit, with what
has been urged at the South-the direct
and absolute confession of an attempt to
perpetuate the polit ical power of the dom
inant party by subiecting the Southern
white people to the domination of negroes.
And yet Cor resisting this " reconstruction"
policy of Congress-a policy oonfessedly
framed for partisan and not for national
purposes-the Southern people. whose GER
tain ruin this action encompassed, have
been denounced as disloyal and rebellious;
for opposing it the Pres ident has been i'm
peeched by the House of Representatives

doubtful results of the last elections into
decided Dem ocratic successes. With this
strength the defeat of GRANT and CoLFAx
in certain, as other small Western States
can be counted on with reasonable certain
ty; even should all the Southern States be
admitted and their illegal votes counted,
and be cast for tne Radical candidates, which
latter event is badly probable. In any
view of the case, we think the prospects
for the defeat of GRANT and CoLFAx Ii
highly probable, should ordinary Judgment,

zeal ticket, there are still some notable ex-
ceptions. Some of the most trustworthy

The Bud Worm.

Our friend DIR. BUIE has been investiga-
ting the natural history and habits of this
destructive little insect, with complete sue
cess. In April last he found stalk of corn
with the heart cut out by bud worm, and
the insect itself was buried about two
inches in the ground beside the stalk. The
DIR. took the worm and placed it in glass
jar, one-fourth filed with moist earth
Young stalks of corn, cabbage leaves and
t,1rnip tops were placed in this jar. The
worm ate of each. After every eating the
worm changed its appearance. 1t changed
first to the "cut worm," which has been
generally regarded as different insect.
Its next form was that of the "coilard
worm" it's color, from black turning to
green, and its head disappearing. After
eating the bug would return and remain in
the earth. After this last change he went
into the heart of the stalk of corn, until il
was entirely destroyed, when becoming
very unwieldy, it wollered, rather than bur
rowed, in the ground.
It remained it this state for five days
and on the sixth it had entirely shec
it's covering and was fully developed
| moth, having four wings, the outer ones
dark and the under ones light. Its ap
pearance to Us. as We saw it yesterday, Ii
the same as the ordinary "candle moth,
and is, beyond doubt, the same species O
| insect.
DR.. BUIE will continue his investiga
tons, and when completed will give th'
benefit of his discoveries to the public
| Other insects which invest our gardens ar
| also receiving his attention.

American Baptist Home Mission Society.
New YORK, May 26.-At the session of the
American Baptist Home Mission Society,
the Convention took up the matter of dele
gates from the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton. At the last meeting of the Home
Mission Society, held last year at Chicago, q
delegation was sent to visit the Southern
Convention and effect reconciliation be-
tween the Northern and Southern Baptists.
DIR. Hague, of Boston, chairman of the
Northern delegates, reported that the
Southern Convention had received them
in a very cordial manner and had sent del
egates to attend this anniversary meeting.
Applause.
On motion, the Southern delegates were
invited to the platform. and on taking
their positions were> warmly appauded
DR.. Jeter, of Richm ond, one of the
Southern delegates, made an address,
After reviewing tie separation of the North
ern and Southern Baptists, and the causes
which led thereto, he continued "What-
ever have been the evil results of the war,
one thing it did was to blot out the occa-
sion of this strife. Slavery is dead. -
CHEERS.
Whatever might have been said in its
favor, it is dead, and, in the name of God,
let it be buried. Marked applause. We
at the South do not desire to restore 1t,
even if we could. Long and continued APP
plause. The prevalent feeling of tho
whites of the South toward the colored
race is of kindness We shall pray and labor
for their salvation in the very necessity
of the case. We desire their conversion.
At present there is little enlargement
it ia but natural but We expect and trust
the arrangement will pass away. We OF
the South Swill be the earliest and most
successful instructors of the colored PEG
pie. We accept the situation the war has
brought. We bow to the dispensation OF
High Heaven. It is the manifest purpose
of God that these States shall not be d.
vided. Cheers. And since our destlnleS
are to be linked together, and If we are to
live together, as we must, it is better that
we should live in friendship than in CON
fict-better in harmony than in discord;;

Last week, the fOIlowlng special tele-

Radical journals in New England:
1t is rumored that one of the Arkansas Sena-

III the runner to acquie see willingly in the detern1

Ii the estimate of the Georgia Legisla
ture is correct. there is clear Democratic
majority Of on joint ballot over the Rad
ais, carpet bag carriers and colored rep
resenatives-which would seem to insure
sending two Democratic United States
Senators from that State. In this view
the Radicals in Congress may not deem il
worth while to consider the Georgia bill al
present.

Ohio Wool Market.

The wool market in this county, says the
SteubenuilLe Gazette, continues dull. Grow
ers demand 40 to so cents, but buyers are
not willing to give over 35 or 40 cents.
The wool trade in this place, says the
Wooster Democrat, has been pretty lively
the past week, though not coming near up
to the week before. About 10000 pounds
have been bought within the last seven
days. Prices range from sc to 40 cents, the
average being about 3S cents.
The Zanesuille Courier says of the market
at that point:
sThe wool market has not been known
so dull for years as the present season.
Forty cents is the outside figure attainable
for choice lots of full blooded fleeces, and
nobody cares about it even at that price.
Woolen goods will certainly have fall"
The wool clip of this county, says the
Hancock Courier, is coming in very rapidly.
The farmers are evidently afraid to hold
their wool for fear of decline in prices.
We do not think prices will vary much in
the next three or four months. One firm
bought over 10000 lbs, on the streets last
Saturday. The prices range about the
same as last week-35 to AZ cents.
