THE WAY TO DO Ir.-The Rnmp has
removed the disabilities Of Roderick R.
Butler and permitted him to hold office
without taking the iron-clad OATH
This Butler is q so-called Representa-
tive from Tennessee. After this fash
ion the Lauisiana Legislature will be
organised on an overwhelming Radical
basis. All the noau "truly loilp will be
spared the disagreeable necessity of
swallowing the test-oath. Democrats
who cannot promise to serve the devil
of Radicalism and take the wallow
without murmuring, will go by the
board.

Radicals have broken a lance with the
Masons. Wendell Phillips thus sounds
the Keynote Of q new crusade:

spend much time in discussing why Every

19 EF A Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Republican (Rad.) makes
the following disclosure:
"The friends Of Gen. Burbridge orig
inally pressed his name for the position
Of Sergeant at Arms in place Of George
I. Brown, who has held the position
for seven years and accumulated a
large fortune ont Of ofit-althougll the sAl-
ary is less than $4,000 per annum.
Brown has the support Of Mr.. Trum-
bull and his renegade Republican
friends, and very few Radicals. The
first named, seeing that Burbridge
would secure Browns position, went
to his friends, and threatened that nm
less all opposition to Browns remaip-
ing ceased, they would refuse to assist
the Radicals in passing the new recon-
struction bills over the Presidents veto
when that occurred. Those Senators
supporting Burbridge, rather than
cause further dissensions 10 the Repub-
lican ranks, at once concluded to avoid
it by passing Burbridge for the Secres
tary ship-with what result has been
stated. The Radical Senators do not
dare GUST Brown, although lis conce-
,ded BY q large majority that he has
used his office for speculative purpo-
ses." e

port, as the result Of their investigations
that while there is much talk among GER
tain politicians about the expediency Of
making Mr.. Chase the Democratic candi-
date, they cannot find where he is going
to get the votes to nominate him in the
Convention. They claim that Mr.. PEN

English Revolution of 1688-would be the
first step in, and the sure forerunner Of
the rehabilitation Of the South. 1t will
be the assurance of restoration to their
political rights, and the overthrow Of the
most iniquitous despotism that an infuria-
ted faction, drunk with fanaticism and
blind with passion, ever imposed upon a
subject people.
What name will be the one that posteri-
ty shall hold in grateful remembrance as
the representative Of the Party which is to
accomplish this great work, cannot be
more than conjectured now. AS a Louis
ianian, ] can have but one name to give

ness to announce to a prostrate people that
the heel of a military tyrant should no
longer press their necks in the dust, when
he knew that such announcement would
draw upon him the execrations Of the fac.
tion that dominated his government, and
would probably shut him out from future
promotion, is the man whose elevation to
the Presidency they would prefer to all
living men, but the name Of Hancock has
not, to all appearance been received by
politicians with favor. God grant that il
may be deemed expedient and polite t
give him the nomination, bnt every con
sidsration will have to be surrendered tt

be nominated who can concentrate th,
greatest strength. Of course the Wes

Hints 10 Farmers.

A writer gives the following advice which
we fully endorse:
Don't buy piano for your daughters while
your sons need plow
Don't let your horse be seen standing at the
tavern door 1t don't look right.
Don't give the merchant chance to dun
you. Prompt payment makes independent
men.
Keep good fences; they promote good feel
ings between neighbors.
Decent and substantial clothing for your
children makes them think better Of them
selves, and keeps the doctor away.
Don't starve your land, if you do you will
grow lean.
Don't become surety for him who waits for
the sheriff.
Buy farm wagon before fine carriage.
If you have a yoke of oxen, don't be ashamed
of them, and give your note for a span OF
horses.
Keep your sons away from horse races /;
they are the highway to ruin.
Don't run for constable; you may get it {;
and let the plow stand.
Teach your boys to look up and forward,
and never down and backwards.
Don't leave to memory what should be writ
ten it makes lawsuits.
