The Fifteenth Amendment QuestiOn-Why the
Legislature Is not Convened mt Once.
Governor Butler of Nebraska has addressed
the following letter to the Hon. John Taffe, the
Representative in Congress from that State, ex-
planning the status of the fifteenth amendment
question:
LINCOLN, Dec. Is, 1869--Hon. John Taffe
Washington, d. C.-Dear Sir:--Your favor Of
the 9Th inst. has been received. An impression
seems to exist that / am Indifferent to the fate
of the fifteenth amendment; that have refused
to convene our Legislature for the purpose of
ratifying it. This is wholly erroneous, and
desire that you correct 1t so far as possible. No
one can feel deeper interest in the measure
than |, and none are more anxious that Ne
braska should express her assent There are
however good reasons why our Legislature
should not be convened just at present. Ques-
tions of vital interest to the State-questions
requiring legislation-may and probably will
arise within the next two months. They do not
exist to-day or at least have not assumed shape.
For this reason, and this only, do / desire to
postpone the session till after the 1st of Febru-
airy. Meanwhile j shall watch with deep
anxiety the course taken by Ohio and other
States on this question, and hope there may be
no doubt as regards the final result. Should we
at any time arrive at point where ratification
by Nebraska is essential TO success-where il

The Planters an

The Planters and their Work for the Year
A correspondent writes from Atlanta as fol-
lows
During the past week have met some of the
most extensive planters in Georgia, who are now
actively engaged in winding up their years
operations, paying their laborers, engaging
their hands for the coming year, purchasing
fertilizers, ETC., and making their arrangements
for 1870. They all represent the negroes as per-
fectly contented having received ample COM
pensation for their twelve months work, salts
fed with their employers, and anxious to re-
arrange to make another crop.
The average wages earned this year by full
hand, after paying for his food, clothing, etc.,
has been from a bale to bale and half of cot
ton, or from 500 to $3.50 in cash, where he has
been working for share of the crop, and about
800 in clear money where he has worked for
monthly wages. These sums, it must be under
Stood are over and above all expenses for food
and clothing, house rent, fuel, ETC.; and if those
who earn them would only save their money
and act providently, it is easy to see how, in
very few years, they could purchase farms
of their own, and become thoroughly inde-
pendent.
How the Negroes Money Goes.
Not long ago l saw negro, who had Just been
paid off by his employer, spend $40 for musical
box, and / saw another purchase a huge netted
chignon for $40. During this week, when the
plantation hands generally will be paid off, the
village storekeepers in the vicinity of the plan
tations will carry off every cent the laborers re-
ceive. The storekeepers, especially those of the
Hebrew race, watch for the advent of the pro-
prietor with his satchel full of greenbaeks, and
when they learn that the hands have been paid
| and have been allowed to take the wagons and
60 TO town, they send out runners four or five
miles out of town to meet the wagons and allure
the negroes to their stores, and in return for
gaudy dresses, hoop skirts, feathered hats,
| resplendent shawls, candy, jewelry banjos,
| etc., become possessed of all the money. know
of one store which last Christmas week sold over
$4,000 worth Of goods to the negroes alone.

The Proposal TO Sell the Portrait of the Hero

The Proposal TO Sell the Pcrtruit of the Hero
of Nashville-The True story of the Affair.
despatch from Nashville clears up the pro-
position made in the Tennessee Legislature to
lowing satisfactory fashion,
The resolution introduced in the House few
weeks since in relation to the sale of General
Thomas portrait has created such a stir through
out the country, based on erroneous data, that
the real facts in the case ought to be known. A
resolution was introduced providing for having
the portrait of General jackson placed in the
Capitol. This was opposed, from an economical
standpoint, and the resolution was about being
withdrawn when Mr.. Hinkle offered an amend
ment providing for the sale of the portraits of
Brownlow and General Thomas. This was in.
tended by its author as rebuke to the extrava-
sance manifested at time when the State was
groahing under debt, and the common schools
were being abolished. The amendment was
offered, as Mr.. Hinkle explained, as a sort OF
buresque, with Eot the slightest idea of its being
acted on. The author of the amendment was an
officer in the Federal army, under General
Thomas, and has the highest reverence and
regard for his old chief He exhibited poor taste
in perpetrating his little joke-a fact he after
wards discovered, when he found the radicals
making political capital out of his unintentional
blunder. The Speaker of the House and Mr..
Hinkle have both written to General Thomas
explaining the circumstance. Out of sixty-sever
members present only eight voted for the
amendment, and four of these were ex-Federal
officers. They nearly all explained their votes
by saying they were acting solely in the interest
of economy, and not out of disrespect to Brown
low and Thomas. These are the facts in the
case, as your correspondent was present in the
House from the time the resolution was intro
duced until it was disposed of.

GENERALlTIES.


The Crown Jewels of Russia.
correspondent who has seen the Russian
crown jewels says they are kept in the highest
room OF the palace. The staircases are lofty,
and the ascent is tedious. -Four tried and faith
full servants of the realm keep watch and ward
two within and two without. The great Orloff
diamond turned its basilisk refsction full upon
me. This overtops the Koh-i-noor by eight
karats in weight, and am satisfied the greenish
tint and the flaw lessen it only to the grovelling
mind. Big? l could hardly see it,. 1t was the
size of knob on bedpost. The imperial
adorned with noble jewels; the former resem-
bling patriarchal mitre dome-shaped, carries
on its summit a cross formed of five magnificent
diamonds, and supported by a very large, uncut,
spinal ruby. Eleven great diamonds, in foli-
ated arch rising from the front and back, sup
port this ruby and cross, assisted by hoop of
pearls. The band for the brow carries 28 large
brilliants. The orb is surmounted by a great
sapphire, greenish and blue, and a huge and
very long diamond. The coronet of the Empress
is beautiful mass of exquisite gems. Apart
from those above mentioned, and lot of great
emeralds, the collection is not so striking as
that of SaXony. This may be traceable to the
fact that much of it still retains its old silver
setting not calculated for the best advantageous
display. 1t is kept covered up with old linen
cloths.

conveys practical lesson, and shows how easy
it is to become rich after obtaining the first dol
lar, if one is prudent and economical. ~ never
made but $20,0 900 in my life!" said the General
emphatically "but always kept that at good
Interest," On our expressing surprise, he went
on to explain. 1t seems that at the close of the
war of 1912, the General found himself terribly
wounded, but about even with the world in a
pecuniary point of view. Shortly afterwards
the eGovernmentsenthim him to the far South andWest
on special mission connected with military
affairs, and for Jfce gears he travelled over
mountains, and through the almost trackless
wilderness, and accomplished his difficult mis-
slon as he always did, to the entire satisfaction
| of the Government He had not drawn a dollar
from the Treasury except for actual expenses,
and at the end of the five years the Government
owed him $40, 000 which was then paid. Here was
the nucleus of his large fortune. General Wool
was then about S5 years of age. He died at
about the age of 88. Now, let the reader take
this $20, 900, which, at compound interest, win
nearly double every ten years, and In the fifty
| years intervening between the time of its re-
ceipt and the Generals death, he will find that
it will amount TO just about the Generals estate,

How 10 Make Molasses candy.

Now that these long Winter nights
shadow more than half Of the time,
. candy pulling is in vogue. As the
candy is usually made, it is long
tedious process, requiring from one
to three hours. These long hours of
waiting are rendered longer by bav-
ing to endure the heat while stirring
the nolasses. The waste of fuel Is
another objection to the old method.
By following this recipe, all OF this
tediousness and vexation will be
avoided:
For a small number, say four per-
cons. these quantities will answer.
For larger, increase proportionately.
One teacupfull of molasses.
Half a teaeupfUl of any kind of
sugar.
a taasroonful of vinegar.
A piece of butter the size Of half a
natmeg.
Put the whole in a skillet, on a hot
Ere ard boil exactly ten minutes,
stirring il all the time, and then set ii
off to,cool. Pull it as soon as it is
hard enough.
Boiling it twelve minutesWill make
it hard enough. Eight minutes will
not be enough. Ten minutes by the
clock is The exact time.
Follow these directions and we'll
pay for all the candy that won't pull
provided We are invited to test it.
