Swimming on Bladders.

EVEN in the widest period of its anti
constitutional career, the dominant party
in this country has not lost sight of one
inevitable and memorable future necessity
and that is, that the time must come
when it will have to descend from its
high horse and stand, flat-footcd, On the
firm ground of the very Constitution over
which it has rode rough shod. It's vio-
lent and lawless gallopade cannot con-
tinue forever. Sooner or later, it must
return to the Constitution and be Judged
by it. 1t neglected or feared to abrogate
il entirely and formally during the ex-
element of the war, and it has not dared
to even mediate it, in the more sober and
considerate days that have followed since
the WARRIOR, since the war, the trampled
Constitution has been perceptibly re-as-
serting its authority, and swinging back to
it's old pre-eminent position. The Repub-
lican leaders have clearly discerned the
ultimate result, and have endeavOred to
prepare for it: by so consolidating their
power and indurating their accomplished
lawlessness that, when the ultimate ac-
countability comes, it shall be q mere
nominal and unmeaning business, without
any retrospective effect. But they have
miscalculated the difficulties of their
task. IL is not trucr maxim i'm the phi
losophy of individual crime, that one crime
necessitatcs another to hide it, than il is
in the philosophy of government that one
unconstitutional act must be supported by

Feeding Potatoes to Hogs.

AN Iowa correspondent of the Western
Rural writes that paper as follows:
didn't like the idea of hauling my pO-
tatOes fifteen miles TO market and selling
them for % cents per bushel, SO L com
menced feeding them to my fattening hogs
raw. The hogs appeared to be very fond
of them at first, but they soon commenced
to "mince over them" (made their teeth
sore suppOse). then boiled and mashed
them while hot, and put bran with them,
one bucket Of bran to three of potatoes,
adding water enough to make thick slOp
/ give them this mixture three times n
day, and little corn in the ear, at the
same time. The hogs have fattened much
faster with this feed than they did when
| fed them all the raw corn they would
eat with bran slOp to drink. l don't think
they would do better on any other kind of
feed. The pig pen is my potato market
this year. OF course it is not necessary to
mash the potatoes to get the hogs to eat
them, but think to mash them with bran
they will do better on it-espccialIy in
warm or mild wcather-than they would if
given alone.

an endless series of similar acts to protect
it, An illustration is before us, at this
moment. The Supreme Court Of the
United States has under consideration the
Mississippi case of Yerger, who was con-
victed of murder by military tribunal at
Vicksburg, and who applies for writ of
hd6eas corpus, on the very good ground
that, during time of peace, military tri-
bunals have no right to try citizen. This
ground is so palpable and indisputably suf-
licent, that the Republican leaders do not
expect anything else than that the Court
will grant the writ and release the prisoner.
But, what then? If Yerger's personal
liberty alone were involved in the case,
the dominant party would care very little
about it. But Yerger was tried and con-
victed by military tribunal, under the
Reconstruction laws, and it is apprehended
that the Court cannot grant him the writ
he asks for, without deciding the Recon
struction acts to be unconstitutional and
void. The Philadelphia Press pcrceives
the peril to the Republican party of such
a decision, and therefore, in advance, calls
upon the President TO disregard it. II
SAYS:
Should the Executive decide not 70 set YergeI
free-for that must be the effect it is the nten

the issue of the argument for the writ will be

what i the JUDGMENT of many, and The hope of more
In such conjunction the Supreme Court may not
be disposed to hasten matters.
So, then, the dominant party finds, al
the very moment when it is preparing To
return to the Constitution, that its own acts
have made it impossible to do so. 1t has
been swimming on bladders, till it thought
itself strong enough to swim without
them; but while detaching them it finds
itself sinking, and to save itself is com

had the same treatment, receiving the same
kind and quantity of manure, and being
pruned at the same season. The first sea-
son the row planted in the fall was ahead,
the young wood was stronger, and the
general appearance better, but the second
year, the spring row caught up, and there
is no perceptible difference to-day in
the state OF the two rows; they are as
nearly alike as pear trees can possibly be-
This experiment in connection with
some others, of which have kept strict
record, convinced me that more depends
on the condition of the tree and the thor
Ough preparation of the soil, than on the
time of planting. There is one fact which
| have noticed in many cases. When trees
are planted in the fall, the work is per-
formed better, all the rules laid down by
practical men, who have written direc-
tons on the subject, are more fully car
ried out This is probably because people
are not so much hurried with other work
in the fall as in the spring when every
thing has TO be attended to in short space
of time. For this reason have frequent
ly recommended fall planting in prefer
ence to spring. l know how important it
is that pear tree should be planted with
the greatest care to insure future sue
cess.
Trees may be set out in spring as soon
as the ground is in a condition to be
worked, and until the leaf buds are par
TALLY unfolded. | have frequently trans
planted pear trees when in full leaf with
out the loss of a single tree. This can
only be done by very careful handling,
severe pruning, and mulchlng the ground
soon after the trees are put into place.
Trees should never be planted either in
the spring or fall while the ground is wet,
for if the earth is thrown around the roots
in this condition, it will form into Jumps
and will remain so for years, which will
interfere with the growth of the young
| roots This is more especially true Of
clay soils, or sandy soils with a clay sub
soil.

tablespoonful of common salt in half a
tumbler of water, has been found by trial
to be an excellent remedy for dry hacking

it is harmless, it would be well to give it "a
trial.
