thus speaks in reference to the remarks
of the st. Adams Messenger and HERALD
We are sorry to detect faint tone of
asperity in the response of our daily con-

to say that it ac0nt hore its skin stuffed

to remind the HERALD and Messenger
that We expressly said we didn't ash them

we do not expect or desire any such sad

in their prosperity. If otherwise, we ten

seems to qualify the first section, which makes
the oons ent Of the Senate essential to removal.
Practically, however, We apprehend that the
qualification amounts TO little. For, though a
President intent upon quarrelling with the
Senate might nominate another person to per-
form the duties of the suspended officer in the
place Of the person rejected by the Senate,
there can be no doubt that a scrupulous inter
probation OF the law would lead to the restora-
tion of him whose removal the Senate may re-
fuse to sanction. The idea of q perpetual
suspension is not inconceivable, but it is so
beset with complications that its application
in any circumstances is undesirable and im-
probable.
II seems to us, then, that Mr.. Butler, with
all his asuteness, erred egregiously when he
represented the change as equivalent to a
triumph, and that Mr.. Trumbull was justified
by the language Of the second section in re-
presenting the continued possession by the
Senate Of its checks upon the Executive In the

A Pretty Territorial Governor.

IRON TIE ". Y. World.
James M. Ashley, of Toledo represented the
Tenth Congressional district of Ohio in five
Congresses, ending with the Fortieth. He was
the bell-wether OF impeachment. Last Novem-
Der the honest electors in the Tenth district
invited Mr.. Ashley to retire to private life.
and sent Democrat to Congress in his stead.
But Ashley refuses to retire, and the Toledo
Blade intimates that he aspires to be Cover
nor OF Montana Territory, which reminds us
that, eight years ago, Ashley worked very
hard to secure the Surveyorship of Colorado
for his "Dear Case" To Case he wrote from
Washington, March II, 1S6l:-"Now, Frank.
this Is the best office, in my judgment, in the
gift OF the President, and would resign to-day
if was sure l could keep it four years. If
You get 1t, want to unite with you as full
partner in all land speculations and town

To "Dear Csse'' he wrote again, March Is.
1861:-"I want to have an interest with Won

speoulations;" and further:-"I will probably
be chairman of the Committee on Territories

expenditures in the Territories and post Won

yet again to "Dear Case' the next day.
March 19, 1S61:-"Now, if get this, | want
to be full copartner with you in the purchase

Territory. have spent good deal of time
and some money to get this place, and if do

State Prison Discipline.
From the N. Y. Times.

Recent developments at the Sing Sing
Prison prove that the management of that par.
ucular penal institution needs as thorough a
reforming as do the criminals who are there
confined. The frequent successful or unsuc-
cessful attempts on the part of the INN ates
to escape; the grave charges of cruelty that
have been lodged against the guards the
late murder of one prisoner by another, and
many other reported improprieties connected
with the administration OF the establish
ment, point very plainly in one direction
that the internal machinery of the prison is
most grievously out Of order.
To reclaim and reform criminals is now
recognized by all civilized nations as the true
end OF punishment. How this object NAV
most surely be attained is the absorbing
theme Of humanitarians everywhere; and,
especially during the past twenty years, have
experiments been tried with the view of miti-
eating the rigors of confinement, and induct-
ing the most hardened offenders by easy steps
into the ways of virtue. The nearest approach
to solution of this great problem of prison
discipline has been reached ia Ireland, where
asystem OF graduated punishments, rev ards
and privileges has been for some years prac-
tised with the most encouraging effects. This
method, we are informed, is now sought to be
introduced into the prisons of this country.
Its adoption Is urged upon the Legislature of
this State by the Prison Association of New
York-a society which has been twenty-four
years in existence, and through the agency
of which many marked improvements in the
conduct of the prisons and treatment of orimi-
nails have been affected.
In spite, however, Of the fact that during
the period that has been named, the asssocia.
tion has caused the lash to be abolished. the
diet to be improved, libraries to be furnished.
instruction to be afforded, stimulants in the
shape OF rewards for good conduct to be offered
and other mitigating and elevating features
to be adopted, the proper end of incarceration
has been generally very nearly lost to view
by the men who unfortunately are employed,
without discrimination as to their com mpetency'
in the important position of rison-keepers.
Prison regulations of themselves, be they
never SO wise, will be always of no avail, un-
less their spirit shall be enforced bv persons
who have special aptitude and liking for
their work, and who combine frmuess of nnr.
pose with humanity of heart.

Rejection OF the Darien Canal Treaty nv
Colombia.

From. the ". Y. Herald
We have before us the report of the Senate
Committee of Foreign Relations of the Con-
gress OF Bogota against the treaty recently
negotiated by Mr.. Gushing with Colombia.
On this report the Senate refused, on the LIST
OF March last, to confirm the treaty, and it ia
now void. The reasons for the rejection may
be summed up in these three points:-First.
tbat 1t does not sufficiently guarantee the
sovereignty OF Colombia; second, that the
pecuniary advantages to Colombia are not
suncient; third, that the works should acorue
10 colombia at the end of one hundred wears.

FOR our part we rejoice that this traatv has

The destruction of weeds is matter of
cannot be given to it. 1t is impossible to
grow a crop of weeds and crop of vege
tables at the same time, and in the same
soil. Weeds not only absorb the ingredi
ents from the soil which are necessary for
sustaining the growth of cultivated plants,
but they also intercept rain, dew and sun
shine, and deprive vegetables, etc, of the
benefits which they should derive from
these sources. 1t was to facilitate wedding
that vegetables were grown in rows. The
drill system was first commenced in gar
dens, and the benefit derived from it being
apparent, it was adopted in the field with
the most satisfactory results.
Weeds are often introduced in gardens
in manure. A careful gardener is very
cautious about using fresh stable manure,
for he knows that it contains seeds of clio!
yer, grass and weeds Well-rotted barn
yard manure in which the seeds of weeds
etc, have been killed by the strong heat
caused by fermentation, is the safest and
best appliance for the garden. On this &C
count the remains of old hot beds are very
suitable for almost any garden crop. Late
in the season, weeds spring up among pc
rennial vegetables, such as rhubarb, as
paragus, etc, and not unfreQuently art
allowed to remain until they have ripened
and disseminated their seeds. This evi
should be guarded against No weet
should be permitted to grow in any par
of the garden, early or late in the season

its flight Now, when this object was ex
amined, as it was promptly and eagerly by
Professor Miller and Mr.. Higgins, they
found to their great wonder that it Welded
two spectra-the one imposed upon the
other, though obviously independent
There was the prismatic ribbon crossed by
dark lines which belongs to the sun and
stars generally, but there was another in
which four bright lines figured and these,
according to the canons of Interpretation
previously mentioned, indicated that some
luminous gas Tor gases) was also pouring
out its light from the surface of the orb.
Two of the lines spelled out hydrogen
in the spectral language. What the other
two signified did not then appear; but, in
asmuch as those four streaks were bright
er than the rest of the spectrum, the source
from which they came must obviously
have been more intensely heated than the
underlying parts, or philosophers, from
which the normal stellar light proceeded.
And as the star had suddenly famed up,
was it not natural suppOsition that it had
become enwrapped in burning hydrogen,
which, in consequence of some great con-
vulsion, had been liberated in prOdigious
quantities, and then, combining with other
elements, had set this hapless world on
fire? In such fierce conflagratiOn the
cOmbustible gas would soon be consumed
and the glow would, therefore, begin to
decline, subject, as in this case, to a second
eruption, which occasioned the renewed
outburst of light on the Goth of August.
By such catastrophe it is not wholly
impossible that our own globe may some
time be ravaged, for if word from the
| Almighty were to unlOose for a few mo-
ments the bonds of affinity which unite
the elements of water-of the ocean on
the land and the moisture in the ara
single spark would bring them together
with fury which would kindle the fun
cral pyre of the human race, and be fatal
to the planet and all the works that are
therein. 1t cannot but be a startling fact
for us that in yOnder doomed and distant
world We have, probably, seen in our own
day realization of the fearful picture
sketched by Peter, "when the heavens (or
atmospheric being on fire, shall be dis
solved, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat" And if we regard it as the
center of a system, it is impossible to think
without horror of the fate of the numerous
globes around it when overwhelmed by
this sudden deluge of light and caloric.-
