ALEXANDRIA. VA.
FRIDAY, APRIL IA, 1870

Yesterday in the Senate, MIR. Morton, Of lu-
diana made very radical speech, the tenor OF
which was that Georgia not alone needed
reconstruction, but that the conditions of affairs
in the South generally was such as to warrant
Congress taking hold Of most Of the other
States with strong hand. He favored giving
The President power to send troops to any sec
ton Of the South TO suppress disorder and pre-
serve the peace, without waiting fer the Gov
ernor or the Legislature to call. according to the
present procedure in force, on the Executive tor
military power to suppress instruction. The
Washington Chronicle lauds this speech high
", and says it is like bugle call 10 bat
te!' One report is that the speech reflects
the views of the President, WHILE on the other
hand, another report is that he still desires nc
delavin the reconstruction of Georgia-hutiS mol
willing TO keep the disIranchised in the South
still longer on probation.
A correspondent of the New York Herald
who saws he interviewed" President Grant
makes this statement:
II asked nim whether he intended, ~ re-
ported several times lately, to issue an am
nestv proclamation or to send special message
- Congress recommending the removal 0
disabilities imposed By he fourteenth amend
ment? lie smiled good hulnoredy AND answer
ed: mo, sir p; | don't intend to issue an am
nesty proclamation at all. My predecessor
President johnson, exhausted that prctt,
Thoroughly (SmIinc) but it is cutie true that
did some time ago contemplate sending t. Con
gress special message recommending the re
moval OF all disabilities. | thought that fitin4
occasion tor message of the kind would be the
restoration of Texas and the other States 10 the
Union, believing that it would have the effect
to promote general good feeling and harmony
throughout the South but since then there
have been so many complaints about outragcS
in the South and requests for military iuterposi-
ton in some of the Statcs-hke Tennessee and
North Caroina-th2t have reconsidered my
resolution. have come to the conclusion that
so long as the state Of society 10 these districts
is such as to call for military aid to preserve
order it would be useless to recommend 10 Con-.
gress the removal of disabilities. For the pre-
sent, therefore, cannot ssUl that message to
Congress"

selling adulteratcd wines and liquors. Samples
of their stuff" we're submitted to Professor
Silimau, Of Y ale College, the State chemist,
and the following is tho result of his anal ysis
of what was sold for port wine: The liquor
was turbid, heavily laden with sugar or moIas
SEES and some coloring matter; contained 81 per
cent. Of alcohol over 10 per cent. of sugar or
moasses; about 100 graius Of sulphuric acid to
the gallon, part Of it free, as oil of vitriol and
mart combined in alum; oxide of lead, or j.

| ROCKINGHAM Go. SToCK.-MaDy OF the
entcrprsing farmers of Rockingham have Tor
several years been making laudablc and praise
worthy efforts to introduce the most profitable
and approved breeds Of stock among our PEG
ple Among those who deserve particular men
ton, we may name Maj. George Chrismap. -
lie has thoroughly tested the comparative
value OF the Short Horn Durham with the
common breeds. He informed US few days
ago that he raised several Durhams, two years
old last May and June, which had been ted on
grain only about two months, and thee average
weight of which when marketed, was l.lS5.
These cattle sold Tor seven cents per pound, or
$82 95 per head. He also raised several OF
the common or mixed breeds generally to be
found among our small farmers, and they did
not average more than half the weight of the
Durhams, and sold for much less per hundred.
And he called our attention particularly to the
fact, that it cost less to raise and feed the Dur
ham than it did to keep the common stock;
and that consequently, while handsome profit
was realized on the former, the latter scarcely
paid expenses. Such has been the experience
of all Intelligent stock ralscrs.
Mai. Chrisman has also introduced the big
boned China Hog, from Illinois, and finds that
it natures much earlier, is easier kept, and
tattens more readily, at any age, than any Of
the improved breeds that have heretofore been
raised by our farmers-such as tho Berkshire,
Chester, &c. They are also more hardy, and
| stand the winter season better than apy other
| breed he has ever had The pork is also of ez-
cellent quality. He has also Thoroughbred
Stallion, sired by the celebrated racer. Planet,
and is said to possess the fine qualities of his
iIussrious sire Major Chrisman, it is true,
has gone to some expense to secure the best
breeds of stock but he finds that, in the end,
he has made by the experimental OLD Com
