BOWEN IN A NEW ROLE.
HIS EXPLOITS IN FLORIDA
An lncendiary and q Nobb.r.


Tho following extract from o private lctter,
which we have received from responsible
sourco, throws soQe light upon the proceed
ings and reputation of our Honorable repre-
sentative while in Florida
"At the time Of the evacuation OF the little
Town OF Jacksonville. Florida, by the Con.
federate forces and its citz,ns, in tho latter
part OF 1861 or the early part of 1862, 1 was

They will never, never, submit to the
damning degradation of marching up
the hog chute at the Court House,

instinct of the Democratic heart re-
volts at the thought. Pride of race
protests against it. Although the

nation of walking up the chute with
a negro, to exercise the inalienable
rights of freeman to choose his own

summation, the Democratic members
have revolted and revolutionized the
General Assembly. They do not con-
slider that the abomination of negro
suffrage would be equally binding

Previous to the recent election in
Connecticut, the Democratic papers
of that State were eutspoken in their
denunciations of negro suffrage. The
election went Republican, and the
Bridgeport Farmer, only day sub
sequently, told the colored citizens
that their true interests will better
be promoted by voting with the
Democracy than with the proud
overbearing," &c. The indications
are that. when a black man counts
for as much at the polls as a white
one, the Democratic prejudice agalns
color will suffer a material dimlnu
tion.

The ReconstructIon Bill.

Before Congress adjourned it was
gracious enough to accede, though
hurriedly and carlessly enough, to the
Presidents request for new recon
struction bill, giving him the right to
order elections in Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas, on the Constitutions
already framed in these States and
now ready for submission. The bill,
as amended 10 the Senate, makes the
ratification of the Fifteenth Consti-
tutional Amendment condition pre-
cedent of admission. This Amend
ment only places in the Constitution
what has been the basis and founda-
ton Of all the legislation for recon
struction-the principle of equal
rights and equal suffrage. 1t is fitting,
therefore, that these States should be
required to prove their sincerity by
ratifying it as condition precedent
of admission to the Union. The bill
passed the Senate by 45 to 9, the
House by 10 to %; all the Republi-
cans and a portion of the Democrats
voting for it. Under this law, though
its provisions give latitude that is
dangerous as a precedent, we hope to
see reconstruction completed. and the
three still excluded States restored to
Observation-Disclosures Leader.

Some idea of low life IN New Y ork
may be obtained from the following
figures presented by the Rev. Van
Meter In a lecture delivered in Chit
cago, recently. Altogether, there
were in New York, last year, S0,692
arrests, SO of which were for murder,
averaging murder to every half mile.
There were GAO houses of ill-iame,
averaging one to each block. Forty
eight thousand children were running
the streets of New York, homeless,
houseless, and parentless; 126 fami-
lies were crowded in one single tene-
ment building. La the Fourth Ward
the number of inhabitants to the
square mile exceeded $4,000. In this
ward 224 families live below the side
walk. many of them below high-water
mark, and often they are driven from
their cellars by the high water. or lie
in bed until the tide GIBBS. In one
tenement house there were 146 per-
sons sick at one time of scarlet fever,
scarlatina, measles, >whooping cough,
and other diseases. In this building
one out of every nineteen died. A
procession of children two abreast
and reaching eleven miles, would only
equal the number who are now lying
at deaths door for want of proper
food and nourishment.

THE GARDEN.

THE GARDEN.
Early potatoes should be put IN as
soon as possible, if pot already dene.
More peas should be planted for a |
succession, and the soil may be stirred |
among those crops already planted as /
soon as they make their appearance
above the surfaee-the sooner we be-
gin to stir the soil among young plants
the better they will grow; and then,
too. we destroy thousands of young
weeds at the same time with infinitely
small effort compared to that which
will be required if we allow them to
get the mastery.
Reets. carrots, parsnIps, satisfy, a
few turnips, and other root crops may
be planted this month. They should
be set in rows from one foot to two
| feet apart, as you intend to cultivate
with the pillow or hoe Use plenty of
seed to insure good stand, and thin
| ont afterward. A few raddish seeds
scattered along the rows serve to
mark the lines with their broad seed
leaves that make their appearance
| very soon. Some Of these left in the
rows of other crops will furnish a
| supply of this acceptable escDlent,
without seriously injuring the other
plants.
sHRUBBERY AND FLOWERS.
Many of the early shrubs will begin
to blossom, and SO will some OF the
hardy herbaceous plants that have
been set among them. The surface
of the ground ought to be stirred or
raked occasionally. New plantations
NAV be made on the ground prepared
last month, or. during the Winter.
Endeavor to select your plants ac'
cording to their size and habit when
arranging the plan for setting. them
out. All plants that were buried
should now be uncovered and exposed
J to the air.
Rose bushes may still be peggel
down to produce their beautiful Ell
feet as early as bedding plants, anC
they will rival their tropical midsum
mer successors used for this purpose

Bulb beds will begin to make them
