THE mAYTIEN mAssACREs.

Most frightful reports Of the oruelties
practiced by the opponents of Salnave
| in HaYti have been forwarded to the
Navy Department at Washington by
Admiral Hoff. The wounded are said
to be murdered on the field of battle ;
charges of grape and canister shot fired
into towns, killing men and women,
young and old alike; and women and
children in other instances brutaIly
massacred. In one prison, 1O9 per-
sons, including ten women and one
child, are alleged to have been put to
death. The Boston Traveller, however,
calls in question the accuracy of the
above stories. Its Haytien correspon-
dent, who lives on part of the Island
distant from the scene of the butcher
les, writes:
Most of the statements from Havti
have been written in the interest of
Salnave, who began his career with
military usurpatiOn, and has murdered
and exiled most of the best and purest
citizens of Hayti. The murder of Gen
eral Mortes in prison at Cape Hayti,
a patriot much beloved by the people,
atrOcity, wherever he could reach his
political opponents. The seventies
imputed to General Dominique, at
Aux Cayes, are doubtless great, but
are in the nature of retaliation for the
barbarities of Salnave, and certainly
ISIGABu W JIG SA1d1uCbSI O4 CG4AOAeA
Dominique, whose disposition to hu-
manity and kindness was always re-
spected, and who would be guilty of
no severity which he could possibly
avoid. But he has courage to meet the
necessities of the condition, and is as
brave and generous as his great prede-
cessor, Touissant, whose memory is
yet fragrant and precious to all the
sons of Hayti. The moral influence of
the United States Government has
been blindly given to Salnave, and it
is natural for consuls and commanders
to reflect in their reports the policy Of
the Government by whom they are
employed.

GEORGIA.

Whatever Congress may see fit to do
with regard to GeOrgia-and we have
fOrbOrne to urge any particular course
the vital fact must not be ignored
that her present difficulties are wholly
the work of the uphoIders of a f'White
Mans Government" The State 1DGS
reconstrueted-she had a Governor and
Legislature of her own choice, with
representatives in COngress-the disa-
biIities Of her ex-RebeIs had been
practically remoVed-When thesiWhite
Mans Party7 reopened the war by
ejecting all the eolored members from
either branch Of the Legislature. This
was done under the impulse given by
the Democratic National Convention
which met in this city last summer
was, in fact, the first significant res
pOnse to that imposing demonstration
"a virtual echo of Frank BIair's IA
nous letter. The colored members
had united in according seats to all the
Democrats elected, though more than
half of them were ineligible as fighting
Rebels under the Reconstruction Acts
of Congress now, these very ineligi-
BILE Rebels combined to expel those
very colored members who might have
objected successfully to their taking
seats at all 1t is quite safe to say that
this would not have been had the
Rebels foreseen the election of Grant
and Colfax.
The wrong is persisted in. The col
ored members are still excluded from
the seats to which they were9 over
whelmingly chosen. Their exclusion
| (they being all Republicans) gives the
Democrats a majority in either House.
Enough of those Democrats were will
| ing to vote with the Republicans to
| enable them to ratify the XVIII Amend
ment. But that would have kept in
| power those who excluded and still ex-
/ clude the CoIored members, and who
carried the State for Seymour and
Blair at the point of the bowie-knife ;
and this some of the Republicans
refused to connive at. They
voted against ratifying the XVIII
Amendment-not that they were by
any means opposed to it, but that they
/ did not see fit to surrender their State
/ to the despotic control of Toombs,
Miller, and the old clique of Pro-Sla-
very politicians who have once already
pushed her to ruin. They think that
enough.
These facts are not generally under
stood, because too many have a palpa-
bic interest in perverting them. Every
trimmer, who calls himself Republi-
ean-or, at least, Grant man-is busy
in misrepresent them to prejudice the
case of the steadfast Republicans of
Georgia. But ttrTime at last sets all
things even," and the truth will at
length be made manifest and under
stood.-N. Y. Tribune.

STEREOTYPING NEWSPAPERS. - Few
persons are aware of the fact that our
principal morning journals are not
printed directly from the type, but from
9tereotypes taken from the regular
forms. The whole time consumed in
making the forms is about twenty min
utes. It iB accomplished thus: Each
page is made up in a separate form on
table in size and height expressly
adapted for the purpose; the legs of
this table are furnished with castors,
and as soon as the forms are locked, the
table is rolled into the stereotype room.
The form is then removed totbe mould
ing table; the latter has a hollow iron
bed, the cavity of which is filed with
steam, as heat is one of the require
ments in facilitating the operation. Af-
ter the right temperature is attained
the form is removed again to the i'm
posing table, and two or three sheets of
peculiar kind of paper are laid over
the SURFACE OF the type, and they are
then beaten down with a proof brush.
The form is then again slid upon the
moulding table, another and heavier
sheet of paper placed over the first, this
is covered with u blanket, and then
slipped under the press attached the
moulding table, and the power applied.
This is done almost instantly, when the
form is again run out, and the paper
peeled on is a complete matrix of the
whole form.
A preparation Of French chalk is now
applied to the surface OF the paper,
when it is placed in a mould, the hot
metal poured against it, and the plate
almost Instantly formed. 1t is now
moved to the planer, is cut, routed and
justified, and In q few moments is on
its way to the press room. These plates
are cast in the exact form required for
a cylinder press, and about half aninch
in thickness.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

A correspondent of the Journal Of
AgricatItatTe has proved that it pays to
feed pounded burnt bones to poultry.
The farmers of Goodhue, Mimi, claim
TO have new variety of early corn
which yields I37 sheIled bushels to the
acre.
An Alderney cow, recently imported
by Charles L. Sharpless, of Philadel-
phia, has, on two separate trials made
thirteen pounds of butter per week,
giving twenty-one quarts OF milk per
day, with no feed but grass.
A correspondent of the M1ti7ae Fct7.qlte1
gives the following recipe for the cure
of red-watef in cattle: For a COW, take
two ounces of nitric acid and divide it
into three equal parts, and give one
part in half pint of water every other
day, till I give the whole. This is a sure
remedy, that never fails, unless the an
imal is past cure. For oxen I give one
ounce for dose.
Warts on cows teats may, sal Us an ez<
change, be easily removed by applying
the following simple remedy: IN q
quart of soft water dissolve one-quarter
pound of alum and in this solution
wash the teats and udder carefully,
morning, noon and night. Perseverance,
in this course will, in a few days, re-
move every vestige of the disease, IeaV-
ing the parts formerly affected smooth
and healthy.
Some years since, q wild goose was
shot in Washington Territory, and a
few grains of wheat were taken from
his craw. Being very large and full,
they were preserved and planted. The
yield was found to be SO great as to lead
to its propagation, until this variety,
which is known in the Territory as the
'Goose Wheat - has become standard
one in that section of the country.
Samples of this wheat were recently
sent to the Agricultural Department at
Washington. Upon examining the
samples at the museum, of which there
are some 1000 varieties, the same wheat
was found, being one of the samples
sent from the Paris Exposition, and
grown in Cuenea, in Spain.

THE PURCHASE OF BONDS.


The purchase of government bonds
by the Secretary of the Treasury with
the surplus gold which. ace0muiates IN
the Treasury, and their cancellation,
thus reducing the public debt, Is q
policy which is looked upon by every
sound thinking man as being etdinently
proper and one which viii do much to-
ward building up our credit and en-
hancing the stability of our bonus.
An argument to the effect that a pur-
chase Of bonds will increase thelryalue
Is not likely to hold good from ina
fact that the price Of bonds here. 10
governed very much BY the nFlee
abrgatt, and the desire for longtime
bonds by foreign bond-hoIders, would
rather tend to diminish the value OF
short time bonds, or bonds being WITH
drawn by our government, than other-
wise. Hence, we have nothing to rear
from that direction. It would simply
have tendency to turn the tide home
wards, which under the proposed policy
ofan early redemption, would be more
beneficial than otherwise. 1t would
keep our gold at home instead of send
ing it abroad, while our national DEBT
would be monthly decreasing. Ii our
Secretary should perseVerein this poll
cy, we may expect a very simple ana
satisfactory solution of our financial
question, and an early extTieation from
our present tembarrassments. .-6dud0Skg

THE TENURE ACT.

The Conference Committee of six, ap-
pointed by the House and dSenate, made
a report Wednesday, which was irnme-
diateIy adopted, by vote of 48 to 8 in
the Senate, and 10Y to 67 in the House.
The bill as amended leaves out all that
was Objectionable in the civil tenure
act.
It repeaIs the first and second Sec
tions Of The original Tenure-Of-Of Office
act of March End, 1867. The first sec
tion ofthe Senate amendment is left
untouched. The second section is so
amended as to read as follows: 'That
during any recess of the Senate the
President is hereby empowered, in his
discretion, to suspend any civil officer
appointed by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, except Judges OF
the U. ). Courts, until the end OF the
next session of the Senate, and to des-
ignate some able person, subject to be
rem owed in his discretion by the desig
nation of another to perform the duties
of such suspended officer in the mean
time, and such person so designated
shall take the Oaths and give the bonds
required by law 10 be taken and given
by the suspended officer, and shall dur.
ing the time he performs his duties be
entitled to the salary and emoluments
OF such officer; no part of which shall
belong 60 the OmcHr suspended, ana It
shall be the duty of the President with
in thirty days after the commencement
of every session of the Senate, except
for any office which, in his opinion,
ought 10 be filled to nominate persons
to fill all vacancies in office which ex-
ist until the meeting of the Senate,
whether temporarily filed or not, and
so In the place of all oIficl lrs suspend
ed. And if the Senate, during such
session, shall refuse to advise and con-
sent to an appointment in the place of
any suspended officer, then, and not
otherwise, the President shall nominate
another person as soon as practicable
to said session of the Senate for said
Office.

THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN
OHIO.


There is in the law library of Mr.. 7.
r. Chase, of Cleveland, the first volume
of the EActs of the State of Ohio"
passed and revised at the first session
of the '"Third General Assembly, be-
gun and held in the town of Chilli
third year of said State Report by
Auditor and Treasurer, &C. Published
by authority. Chillicothe Printed by
n. Willis, printer to the State. 1905. .
In the treasurer's report, contained
in this volume, says correspondent OF
the Cleveland Herald, Ia an item for
the year 1904: "For Nathaniel Willis,
printing the laws and journals and
other printing done for the General
Assembly amount of his account,
50. .125 I5." From this it is evident
that previous to 1905 the laws and
journals of the State were published in
some form, though this is the first
volume of the regular series of "OhiO
Statutes" They probably made their
appearance in the form Of unbound
pamphlets-=this NJ WillisI of Chilli
cothe, being the printer!
The reports of the Auditor and Treas
urer, for the year 1904, is a document
containing thirty entries of
sums paid on twenty-four apprOpria-
tions made by the Legislature. Some
of these items may be of interest. The
appropriation for salaries of the Gov
ernor, Judges of the Supreme Court,
Presidents of the Court of Common
and Auditor, was 81, $50. The salaries
paid were !: Governor, $500 I; Judges of
the Supreme Court, 81, 700; Presidents
of the Court of Common Pleas, 81, $50 /;
Secretary of Statej $500; Treasurer,
$400 Auditor, 800.

THE TREASURY COLD.

Secretary Boutwell, has directed the
the passage 5fA bill to authorize him
to antieipate the interest on the bonds
&. year, in order to get rid of the sur
plus gold in the Treasury.
One class of the 5-20s is now held at
la in greenbaoks, which IL about 81 in
gold The Secretary could buy these
with gold, and thus save Is per. cent,
besides saving the interest, which is
all he 4s to get on his PFePaYd Yd6nt OF
Interest, But the Sthef1ck, bill has de-
clared that no bonds shall be redeemed
iii advance 6f maturity, Until the
gfeehoaeks are paid in gold and we
suppose it is too soon for Congress to
change. Tt has been reported that Mr..
Boutwell, thought he still had power to
buy in the bonds but this movement
seems to indicate that he prefers not to
come at present to the question Of their
payment.-Cgs1. Gazette

There has been no end of financial
schemes nor is there likely to be. The
latest on the list is that of Hon. Amasa
Walker, who fancies he has discovered
the philosophers stone" in finance.
But We have no faith iii any Financial
scheme' so-caIled, no matter by whom
invented. No mere device or trick of
the mind, no matter how adroit or
subtle, viii ever help us out of the
mire of deprecated currency and dam
aged credit. The plain, safe, and di-
rect way of escape is to be reached by
the honest collection and economical
use of our revenues and by paying our
debt. Let the people feel that not a
dollar Of the public revenue is wasted,
and that month by month, either by
purchase or payment of the bonds,
some portion of the debt is being wiped
out of existence, and it will do more to
bring us to the solid ground of coin
payments and to restore the credit Of
the country, than all the financial
schemes that can be devised or public
credit bills enaoteds

While a dance was in progress at Chi
cago on Monday evening, says the
Chicago Tribune, woman's shrek rose
high above the sound of the carnival;
almost simultaneously the cody of a
man fell heavily TO the floor, forming
barrier to the dancers, several of whom
fell headlong over the PROSTATE form.
Many thought it was only slip, but
when the man continued to lie motion
less, the crowd gathered about him, and
an investigation disclosed the startling
fact that the person was dead. The de-
ceased was a young man about twenty
five years of age, named Albert Craft.
The cause of his death is said to have
been heart disease. 1t is perhaps need
less to say that after this occurrence the
music and dance lost their sweet flavor,
and among the ladies there ensued a
panic tnat nothing but absence from
the scene of death could quiet. Trom-
bone, fiddle and horn were quietly
packed in their boxes, and very shortly
the hall was given over to the gloom
which death and darkness usually in
spire.

One day last week. the engine of a
freight train on the Rutland and Bur
lington Railroad struck the sleigh of
Myron Il, Marshall, of Clarendon,
Vermont, where the high banks cut off
sight of the train until he was on the
track, and at the same time prevented
the engineer from seeing the team
Mr.. Marshall was thrown sixty feet,
and his head dashed against the depot
with such force as to break q board ON
the building and produce concussion
of the brain, from which he can not
rally. Mrs. Marshall was thrown up
on the track and fourteen cars passed
over her, mangling her horribly, and,
of course, causing instant death; while
her little child was thrown outside
the track with crushed skull.
