"Row To Do Ir."-Tbe position tb,

"Row To Do IT.''-The position the
Enquirer has taken in reference to oipoliti-
cal agitation seems to be mistaken by the
press Of the State for disinclination to
make any active opposition to the radi-
cal party. The PHOENIX and the Charles
ton Ne,rs, two journals for which we en-
tertain the highest respect, seem to hnyc
put this construction upon the En9uirer's
exposition of its views. In order to cor
reot this misrepresentation, we refer to
the matter once more; but for fear of
being decoyed into that very agitation
which we deprecate, this will be our Inst
explanation on this subject.
It is undoubtedly true that negro votes
are required for the overthrow Of the rn-
dical party. The only difference of OPT
nion is as to the best method of obtain
ing them. Our contemporaries look to
continual agitation as the quickest
means. We doubt whether this means
will accomplish its end, for the reason
that it does not reach the class to be af-
fected. Well-written articles, abounding
in unanswerable arguments, exercise no
influence over voters who cannot read.
The most convincing and eloquent
speeches fail in their intention, when
addressed to ignorant men who have no
NOAAA0ShSo AA VIZ okISohOAs oues oh GiO
contrary, belong, soul and body, with
reason or without it, to the radical party.
Now, while we do not see any chance for
Democratic argument to influence this
mass of ignorance, we believe there are
means by which it can be stirred up.
The Ners says they already feel indirect
ly the weight of taxation, and desire to
throw it off. All that is necessary, then,
is to make them feel it directly; and this
can be done before the next election, if
the people of the State will adopt the
plan proposed by York, and require
every laborer who works for share Of the
crop TO pay q fair proportion of the tax
on whatever land he works. This will
bring the subject of radical taxation
home to the negroes, in form which
they can comprehend. 1t will produce
agitation just where it is wanted, viz
among themselves. Occupying this po-
sition, the Democratic party can afford
to wait, and let the medicine work, with
out exhibiting any extra anxiety to per-
suade negroes to become Democrats.

"A. Z. STEWART ON boutwell,. -Presi-
dent Grants first choice for Secretary OF
the Treasury, A. T., Stewart, the great
New York merchant, is utterly opposed
to the present management of that de-
partment by "hole, in the sky" Boutwell,.
To Bohemian, who recently "inter-
Viewed, him, Mr., Stewart said: Y
''I 'disapproved of the policy of selling
gold and purchasing bonds with the pro-
ceetls thereof, believing as do that it
will never leadus, as it is probably meant
to lead us, to specie payment. Such n
policy would not lead us to such re-
suit in ten years-no. nor in hundred.
The purchase Of bonds with the pro-
ceeds of gold gives the speculators
means to carry on their operations.
''This policy is unquestionablyo of great
benefit to those who have no means of
their own. While solvent men will en-
tirely oppose this policy, it will be ap-
proved by those who are shaky."
Taking this open declaration of Mr..
Stewart, an influential friend of Grant,
into consideration, in connection with
other recent and significant indications,
it would not be surprising if change in
the head of the Treasury Department
were not made shortly. Many of the
leading radical presses denounce Bout
wells financial policy, and quite num-
Der condemn him roundly as the cause oi
the great radical disasters in Virginia
and Tennessee. If Mississippi and Texas
should go also against radicalism, which
is now altogether probable, Boutwell, will
be made the scape-goat to bear all the
blame. ta.t.j .4..

Voltaire, in that bitter but just satire
of his, 'LIngenu," makes his young
man from the Huron hunting grounds
revolt at the intramural burials observed
by him when he visited European "civi-
liZation." Since Voltaire's time, the
question of postmortuary consignment
has often been revived, and yet but little
progress has been made towards reform
in matter of such obvious importance
to humanity. rs the disposal of the dead
SO that they may not injure thehealth of
the living. The average of annual inter
ments in the cemeteries of Paris nm cunts,
we are told, to no less than 10000, and
one of the questions of the day the at
present is, "What shall we do with our
dead?" Conspicuous smong the investi-
gators of this subject, is DR.. Jules Le-
maire, the author of many valuable
essays upon chemistry and its coguate
branches of science. Comparisons have
frequently been made between certain
called "barbarous" nations in their
disposal Of their dead and the usage in
that respect of so-called "civilized" peo.
Piles, and such comparisons are generally
much to the disadvantage of tho latter.
DIR. Lemaire suggests middle course
between intermcnt as practised by civil
lized nations, and the cremation by
which certain barbarous races reduce
their dead to ashes. He has discovered
that, by injecting the arteries of dead
animals with o tincture obtained from
coal-tar, the process of putrefaction is
absolutely arrested. This he has proved
by hundreds OF successful experiments.
In some cases, where the bodies of dead
animals, in an advanced state of decom-
position were thus treated, the dsinfec-
ton of them was immediate, and the
carcasses, when exposed to the air, soon
became quite dry. Several OF these
bodies have been kept for more than five
years without displaying the least symp-
toms of putrefaction. Cemeteries then,
in which human bodies thus preserved
have been buried, will be free from the
poisonous exhalations to which 80 much
disease may be traced, while, as DR.. Le-
maire says, it will be consolation to re-
latives to know that the remains of those
who were dear to them, have not been
consigned to that process Of decomp posi-
ton the very idea of which is 80 repug-
nant. He further suggests that, in course
of time, as the cemeteries become en-
numbered with bodies, the process Of
cremation may be periodically resorted
to for their clearance. This, however,
as it appears to us, merely involves a
question as to whether progross will not
in time disabuse people Of tho repug-
nance generally attached to the idea of
having the bodies of deceased friends
reduced to ashes in the first instance,
without recourse to any process of Gem
balming. .-Ne,o York World.
