CULTIvATING SoRGHUM.-A commit
tee of Farmers Club in Knox county
Ohio, made a report on sorghum, re-
commencing planting on sandy or
gravelly soil, on sod newly and deeply
broken, and about 81 feet apart each
way. They advise leaving from to Il
stalks in each hill, believing this pre-
vents suckers and hastens maturity.
They recommend that the cultivation
be finished by the time the cane is two,
or at the most three feet high. Wood
ashes and lime in the hill, or lime and
plaster are highly recommended.

CANNING GRAPEs.-Ac correspondent Of
The Press writes as follows respecting
his method Of caDning and preserving
grapes: ITO can grapes, make . sirup
Of a quarter of = pound of sugar for ore
pound of fruit. Put the grapes whole
into the sealdiDg sirup and skim them
out soon, and let them partly cool; it
preserves the berries from breaking:
then put them in the can, either glass
or tin,-if glass, heat 1t so as not 70
break. Then pour in little hot sir
up; then put piece Of paper in the can
to cover the fruit; then I'LL up with hot
sirup and SEAL" -

The New Reconstruction Program N


The last Radical Reconstruction law
would make General Grant absolutely
supreme in ten States of the Union
give into his hands an empire richer
than the whole Roman world was un-
der Caesar. 1t would practically estab-
lish Casarism rs the result of a politi-
cal strife waged nominally in the inter
est of popular rights. Radicalism has
kent the game of reconstruction open
since the end of the war, has prevented
settlement, thrown away all chance for
peace to secure, as it has constantly de-
clared, the equal rights of all the people
Ito secure governments republican in
form" throughout the South; and now
it comes at last to propose absolute des-
potism and one man power. Here are
republicanism and popular rights Of the
real Down East stamp. But what
is the meaning of thisi 1t is the effort
of that party TO shift its terrible bur
den of responsibility to other shoulders.
1t would throw on Grant the lead it can
no longer bear. Tken, if all comes out
well, the Radicals expect to claim the
honor, while, if all goes wrong, they
will point to Grant as the cause of ruin.
Bst this game should be cut short in its
very inception, and the President should
take steps, if this bill becomes law, to
do what should long since have been
done with regard to the other Recon
struction laws. He should have n case
made to obtain the decision of the Su.
preme Court. Laws made by the pro-
per law-making power must be accept
ed and acted upon until the Supreme
Court has declared that their unconsti-
tutional character renders them null;
but when tho unconstitutionality of o
law is so bold, so broad, 80 defantly
distinct as to be obvious to all, there
can be no excuse for delay in obtaining
that formal declaration of the court
that will Justify the President in refus
ing to execute the law.

said, in my last letter, did not know
what to write. In this can say the contra
ry. Since the Democratic Presidential nom
nations, the tremendous movement going
forward seems to inspire everybody with
new life. 1t might be said that our entire
population was out, Saturday before last, TO
attend the ratification Of the nomination Of
Seymour and Blair. The public Square and
adjoining streets were densely crowded,
while the procession occupied over two
hours in passing given point, the general
illumination bearing abundant testimony to
the feelings Of our outraged neoplc. The
platform and the candidates universal
satisfaction, especially to the working classes,
who look upon said platform as the produc-
ton Of working men, to a certain extent, at
least.
A great many Democratic clubs have been
organized, and not only b. the whites, but
also among the negroes, who, already, to
Tue numoef OF l&,uOU or 10,UUU, nave lett
the company and service of the carpet-bag-
gers, aud ''still they come" Many Of these
"reconstructed" colored men bitterly aud
openly denounce the plunderers and dema-
gogues with whom they have been associat
ing. Even the heretofore deluded negroes
could no longer endure such stupendous rob-
berries as that recently perpetrated by the
black-and-tan house OF representatives, in
voting five hundred thousand dollars in
gold to favorite newspaper organ, for
printing which another paper offered 10 do
for less than one half Of that amount in
greenbacks.
Workiugmen's associations, embracing
several hundred members, have been organ
ised in the Sd and 10th wards.
The weather, for three or four weeks, has
been rainy and warm; there is little sickness,
and no deaths from sun-stroke, that have
beard of.
Business is very dull, in this city, and but
little prospect of early improvement.
A duel was lately fought here, resulting in
the death Of one Of the parties. PIX.

The following Is the letter Of Gen. g. +.

him of his nomination by tho workingmen
Of the second district:
WAsHINoroE, July 20, 1868.
To the workIngmen's Committee Of Second District:
GESrLExES-I have received your letter
communicating the action Of the representa-
tives OF the Eorkingmen OF The Second Dis
srict, at their meeting on the 18th inst.
Their ANONYMOUS nomination OF me as a
candidate for reelection to congress pre-
cludes my declining, if disposed to do so.
No effort shall be wanting on my part to
score a ratification Of their action by the
people. The workingmen OF the Second
District, without regard to party attach
ments, elected me TO this congress, and dur
ing my brief period Of service, have de-
voted myself earnestly TO the interests Of my
constituents.
On all questions not involving the princi-
pies Of labor reform, | have spoken and
voted as my JUDI ment approved.
Owing allegiance to neither political par
tY. have not consulted tho wishes or sought
the success Of either.
To have received the unanimous nomina-
ton Of generous constituency for a re-
election. under such circumstances, is in the
highest degree fattering.
Assure those whom you represent that, IN
der all circumstances, hall work to estab-
lish the principles avowed by the Labor Con-
g1ess, at Chicago, in 1867.
With great respect,
