The soso Of Soldiers.

There las been an interesting and I'M
portant contested election question just
settled IN the Supreme Court OF The Dis
trict Of Columbia, IL which the decision
turned upon the right OF soldiers to vote
in the precincts in which they are tempo
rarily stationed In view of the fact that
both here and in Raleigh officers and sol
1iers OF the regular army and the Freed
mems Bureau registered and voted, the
question IS an interesting one to Us The
action IL Washington and IN North Caro-
lima shows tue difference of Radical decis
ions when soldiers vote with them and
against them. Surely there is a difference
as to whose OK is gored.
It appears that the Democrotic candi
date for Assessor was elected By wenty-
four majority, but tho court said itappeared
from incontrovertible proofs, that eighty
five soldiers were registered and voted,
with no other residence in the precinct
where they voted than the stay Of soldier
under the command of a superior, All but
ono voted for the successful candidate
This military vote was in part and as
whole fragrant fraud upon the citizens OF
the ward, and Of the city Of Washington,
made up. as it was, from the ballots of
men who never had a legal residence in
the city or in . ward. and who, by reason
of their military occupation, could not ac-
qnire such residence. The opinion was
concurred in by three of the four Radical
Judges who compose the Bench-to wit ::
Judges Cartier, Fisher aud Wiley.
. Soldiers. yes, and officers too, have done
this same thing in North Carolina, men
who are here to enforce the laws and compel
obedience to, and respect for, the Govern
ment. Fit representatives., truly, OF pow
er which regards neither the rights of In
,4iYiduals or the sacredness Of laws. Men
who act SO as 10 lose their own self-respcct,
can hardly impress others with regard for
those whose representatives they are.

What does the Howard amendment say !?
It says those who held an Office prior to
tie sCu7', and took; on oath to support the
Constitution Of the United States. There
is no evidence here that he did take the
oath, and ii you vote to eXpel him you vote
in the dark. He did not believe they
would do it, but, if they did, he did not
know how they would answer to their con-
sciences OF to their constituents.
In reply to a question propounded to
him, Mr.. Robbins said that he honored the
brave soldiers that fought against him !;
they were fighting for that they believed
to be right, but he had very little respect
for Northern man who fought against his
own section, and Uice UerSa, and he had
less respect for the men who sat on tie fence
and fought for neither side, because he
believed it was a tine when it was the duty
of every man to raise his arm in defence of
his rights and his country. .....
At This stage Of the discussion the Presi-
dent stated that the discussion was out of

PEACHES WITHOUT STONES An Agriculture
list has, it is said. tried with success the follow
ing method Of making peaches grow without
stones. Turn the tops of the trees down. cut off
the ends, stick them into the ground, and fasten
them SO with stakes; in q year or two those tops
will take root, and when well rooted cut off the
branches connecting these reversed and rooted
branches with the tree proper, and this reversed
peach tree will produce fine peaches without
stones" The same experiment may be tried
with plums, cherries, aud currants.

At the late meeting Of the Illinois State Hor-
ticultural Society, Mr y. ID. Walsh, State Ento-
molo.ist, gave n half hours practical talk on in
sects, obnoxious Ia fruit grower, and the rene
dies modes Of destroying them.
The Cooling moth lays the eggs for the worm,
which has % generally infested orr apples,
of late. The fallen fruit should be picked up by
men or hogs. daily. and destroyed. DR.. Trmbe,
of New Jersey has been successful in reducing
their numbers by wrapping a hay rope around
the bodies of trees in the first half OF Jul Y. The
cocoons are deposited under the bands they are
examined and the cocoons destroyed once week.
The bark louise can be killed when first hatch
ed in Nay. with application of soft soap, or
by brushing off with dry brush. Oil of any
kind will kill them. but there is danger also Of
injuring or destroying the trees.
For canker worm he advised an application OF
sorghum molasses or the skinmings, around the
body OF the tree ia November.
Borers are verv destructive to apple trees
when once established; knows of no remedy
better than to cut them out with u common
pocket knife. They are certainly kept out by
rubbing the bodies Of trees with soft soap ths
latter part of Nay.
Curculios are caught by Earring the trees,
when they fall TO the ground and are killed
Destroy the fallen fruit frequently.
HORSES AFFECTED BY-THE SMELL OF BLOOD.
Horses are often made frantic by the smell Of
blood. An instance occurred in Prairie du Chen
the other day. A Mr.. Booth, fresh from butch
ering hogs, went 10 the stable to feed his horse,
when the animal beeaue - Infatuated from the

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.
A Strange LEGALITY In California.

n strange LEGALITY In California.
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, with General Palmer's engineer
corps of the Kansas Pacific railroad,
writing from Camp Cody, on the Mo-
have river, California, gives the follow
ing description of remarkable valley
in that region:
Eighty miles northwest of this camp
is the well-known aud much dreaded
"Death Valley" 1t is said to he lower
than the level of the sea, and wholly
destitute Of water. Mr.. Spears, our in
tslligent guide, who visited this re-
markable valley several times, gave me
the following account of it, with the
reason for its terrible name:
The valley is some so miles long by
small breadth, and save at two points,
is wholly eneiroled by mountains, up
whose steep sides it is impossible for any
but expert climbers to ascend. 1t is de-
void of vegetation, and the shadow of
bird or wild beast never darkened it's
white, glaring sand. In the early days,
trains of emigrants bound for Califor-
MIA passed, under the direction of
guides, to the south of Death Valley, by
what is now known as the "old Mormon
road" In the year 1880, large train,
with some 800 emigrants, mostly from
Illinois and Missouri. came south from
Salt Lake, guided by Mormon. When
near Death Valley, dissent broke out
in part of the train, and 81 families
came to the conclusion that the Mormon
knew nothing about the country, so they
appointed one of their number leader,
and broke off from the main party.
This leader determined to turn due
west; SO with the people and wagons
and focks he travelled for three days,
and then descended into the broad val
ley, whose mirage promised water.
They reached the centre, but only the
white glaring sand bounded by the
scorched peaks, met their gaze on every
hand.
Around the valley they wandered,
aud one by one the men died and pant
ing flocks stretched themselves in death
under the hot sun. Then the children.
crying for water, died at their mothers
breasts, and with swollen tongues and
burning vitals, the mothers followed.
Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and
strong mon tettered and raved and died.
After a weeks wandering, q dozen sur
vivOrs found some water in the hollow
of rock in the Mountains. 1t lasted
but short time, then all perished but
two who, through some miraculous
means, got ont of the valley and follow
ed the trail of their former companions.
Eighty seven persons, with hundreds
of animals, peri.bed in this fearful
place, aud since then the name of Death
Valley has been applied to it. Mr..
Spears says that when he visited it last
winter, after the lapse of lS years, he
found the wagons still complete, the
iron work and tires bright, and the
shriveled skeletons lying in many
nlaces side by side.

Negroes Against white Men

According to the Jackson Mississippi)
Clarion, the Radicals of that State have
concucted a scheme for the purpose of
giving the negroes control of the Legis-
lature. Two counties in which the ne
groes are in the ascendancy, with an
aggregate population OF 35,957, arc
gwen seven representatives, while only
four are allotted to population of 49,
ASS wherein the whites predominate.
In the Senatorial apportionment,
Holmes, a negro county, has q total pop
ulation of 1916. To this couaty is as
signed one Senator. On the other hand,
Attala, Leake, and Neshobs, white
counties, with combined population of
20, ,267, are thrown into the same district,
aud given but one Senator. To Iazoo,
having a negro population largely ia ex-
cess of the whites, and total OF ih,2o3,
one Senator is given; while the combined
counties of Tishomingo and ltawambo,
with u population more than double
that of Yazoo, constitute single dis
trict, and are allowed but one Senator.
And thus we might proceed, continues
the Clarion, to the end of the list, and
in every instance the same infamous
motive to put the white people of the
State completely under the rule and III
the power of the negro race, would be
established. The Radicals intend to
hold power, if they can do so, either by
fair means or foul. In the North they
have gerrymandered many of the States
in such a manner as to make it almost
impossible to redeem the Legisla-
ture. This fact was shown in the
late election in Connecticut, where,
while the Democrats reelected Gov
ernor English by a majority double
that by which he was first chosen, the
Legislature still remains in the hands
of the Radicals. The same outrageous
making up of the Senatorial and Repre-
sentative districts enables the Radicals
to hold the Legislature of this State,
although the Democrats have a maJorl'
ty on the popular vote. In the South
the same principle is being applied, and
the negroes are used as the basis OF ac-
ton. One negro voting the Radical
ticket is to be worth three white men at
the ballot box, if the latter are opposed
to Radical usurpation and In favor OF q
restoration of the States to their old
relations with the Federal government.
This is fair specimen of what tue
party in power mean. They would
put the white race under negro
rule aud dominion rather than allow
the reins of government to slip from
their fingers. When white men in the
North refuse to accept negro suffrage,
Wilson and Sumner claim that Congress
has right to enforce it, at the point OF
the bayenet, and offer bills to accom-
plish that object. The movement of the
Radicals in the South is dictated by the
same spirit which underlies all their ac'
tions in the North, and pertends danger
to the Republic unless it is checked by
those who love their country better
than party, and consider the welfare OF
white men superior to fanciful expert.
ments in reference to the capabilities OF
the negro race.-Age.
