Save the Corn Fodder.

As the hay crop has been liz at gener.
ally, the present season, 1t will be well
for farmers to give close attention to the
saving of corn fodder in good condition.
This Is always important, but appears TO
be particularly % now. There Is no bet
ter feed tOr stock than this, especially for
mich COVE, when it is properly pre-
served but q great lesscning Of value Is
made by allowing 1t TO fully ripen on the
hill, or 10 be exposed to q severe frost.
As soon as the kernels have dented well.
the crop may be put into the shock with
perfect safety, the stalks containing SUM-
Gent nutriment TO thoroughly mature the
grain. BY watching this closely, and set
ting to work at the right time, and crowd
ing the Job TO completion, the fodder
may be saved In high state Of nutritive
value, ard the corn 60 into the crib In
prime condition for keeping or feeding.
Another thing Of importance II, TO put
up the shocks In substantial way. The
cutting Of ten rows ct time, and putting
one hundred hills TO the shock, We have

GEORGIA..

After long unnecessary debate, the Senate
and the House seem to be at last approaching
an agreement on the question of admitting
Georgia, and their differences are now so slight
that we have good reason to hope the work OF
reconstruction will speedily be completed.
There is no time to be wasted in useless dis
cussion, and, besides, the whole subject has
been considered in every possible light, till the
country is tired of the war of words. Votes,
and not arguments, are what we want now.
Everybody knows that the Rebels them
selves are to blame for the present condition
of Georgia. The original plan of recOnstruc-
ton was as liberal as even the most unre-
pentant could desire; no class was denied
representation in the Legislature; the members
were required to subscribe to no test oath;
representatives were admitted to seats in Con-
gress, and nothing seemed to stand III the way
of speedy restoration, when evil counsels pre-
vailed. and loyal colored members of the Gene
raj Assembly were expelled. But we cannot
afford to be ungenerous and proscriptive be-
cause a few misguided men have set at naught
the principles on which our Government is
based. The ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment has disposed of the only valid
argument for delaying the admission of the
last rebellious State and the final and complete
restoration of the Union.
The bill, as it passed the House on Friday,
is an improvement on the one which passed in
March last. 1t imposes no conditions, but
recognizes those already fulfilled by the ratiti-
cation, in good faith, of the XIVth and XVIII
Amendments, and it does not seek to continue
in power the present State Government by
postponing any election beyond the time fixed
by the State Constitution. 1t also, by repeal
ing portion of the Act of March 2, 1867,
allows the organization of militia and its use
in suppressing violence and disorder within
the State.
And now we ask the Senate to act as wisely
and as generously on this question as it did
on the nomination of Mr.. Alderman. Give us
no long speeches; leave the Republican party
in Georgia to settle its own local dssensions
and let us have the Union restored. We move
the previous question.

OUR GHOSTLY INVADERS.

Not content with proving his good will to
Mother England in the matter of Gen. ONeil,
Uncle Sam has sent over an embassage, whose
friendly intentions cannot be doubted, in the
person of a certain DR.. Newton, who, solely
through the power of love and the help of the
Holy Angels, proposes to restore her sick to
health and put all her fighting population in
available order. THE English press is filed with
accounts Of the immense crowds which follow
him and fill his hall in Oxford-st. with
the deformed and diseased of all ages and
cOlors, each hopeful wretch striving to obey
the Doctors sole prescription, Love me-"
Nothing more is required. The moment the
patient feels the current of affection ebbing
from his soul to the obese and usually per-
spring Doctor, his ills drop from him like
WORKOUT clothes.
The dumb do sing. the lame their crutch forego,
And leap exulting like the bounding roe"
The English journals are disposed to treat
the matter seriously, andwhile acknowledging
the cures, account for them by the effect of
imagination. They complain that America drips
over with disturbing ideas and that she has
inflicted upon them Spiritualism, Mormonism,
and now Newtonism that all the superstitions
which leave this country for the cOuntry's good
are banished TO them. The more the better.
The truth is, we are becoming lght-headed
through excess of spiritual influences. If our
hands are kept busy filling our pockets, the
doors of our brains are set wide open for any
new creed, clean or unclean, to enter in and
set up it's tabernacle.
In our fathers days a man had the Sermon
on the Mount set before him as straight and
narrow rule of life, Illuminated probably by
the Shorter Catechism or the Thirty nine Arti-
cles for bodily ills he applied promptly to
Brandreth's Pills OF Number o. He knew what
he was about his feet were firm under him.
His creed and diseases were mapped out; he
could give his own faculties of mind and body
to earning his bread and butter and he ate it
in content of heart. When it pleased Provi-
dence and the doctor he should die, there were
but two doors open for him. and the flames
inside of one were as unmistakable as the
harps and crowns within the other But we
live in an enlightened age. We have the In
dams on our hands, the Negroes, the Chinese,
and the Women. A man is boset from the
cradle to the grave by legion of "influ-
ences )" inward lights, revelations, Golden
Bibles dug out of potato-tiods, rapping
floors, whirling tables and coal scuttles,
boards on wheels, prophecies read by young
women whose vision lies in their stOmachs,

against Gen. Babcock they declare to be en-
tirely disproved, and they compliment INN In
the highest terms upon the manner In when
he discharged the duties of his mission. The
minority report takes exactly the opposite
ground on all the points, holding that Hatch
was wrongfully imprisoned, that his trial was
barbarous farce, and that Gen. Babc0ck dld
interfere TO prevent his release. The dlfier-
ence in the two reports seems to proceed
mainly from a difference Of opinion about the
credibility of certain witnesses, especially Mr.
Hatch himself, and we have, therefore, no
means at present of judging which is IN the
right. We may look for more light when the
testimony is published in full.
Meanwhile some things are clear enough.
There is little reason to doubt that Mr.. Hatch
was very seriously compromised III the CaDral
insurrection, Baez being at the time the right
full and also the de factO ruler of the republic.
He has no right to complain, therefore, II
when he fell into the hands of Baez he was
held to abide the consequences and II Gen.
Babcock was satisfied that his trial and SEN
tence were in accordance with the laws of the
country he was quite justified In declining TO
interfere The Communication of the sentence
from death to Punishment was an act of grace
which Baez had a right to couple with any
reasonable condition he saw fit; and if he be-
lieved that the immediate liberation of Mr.
Hatch would be injurious to the in
terests of the republic, we do not see
how the United States can quarrel
with him for keeping that gentleman
several months in prison. The Imprisonment
was just as much an outrage as the Danish
ment, and not bit more so. If it should
prove, indeed, that Mr.. Hatch is, as he says,
only the victim of his hostility to annexation,
and that Baez and Babcock between them
kept him locked up only for fear he would
spoil the treaty, the action of Congress Will
have to be sharp and decided On point of
veracity, however, between Gen. Babcock and
Mr.. Hatch, we confess we incline toward the
General.

tits little discOuraging to those who hope for
a reform of the Naturalization laws that while
Congress considers a bill of doubtful value,
the Massachusetts Legislature has enlarged its
suffrage qualifications in a direction which is
positively dangerous. There were before it
during its late session two amendments to the
Constitution, which affected the right of sui
frage. One of these, abolishing the payment of
taxes,-a qualification which ought never to
have existed,-was lost while the other requir-
ing voters to be able to read and write, was
promptly carried. We shall be surprised if the
people of Massachusetts again select General
Court as ignorant of their best interests as the
one which suggested these "reforms in the
wrong direction

Always too large, the staff, as organized in
1866 has not been reduced with any subse-
quent reduction of the army; and now that a
further decrease Of troops who are of some
little use is decided upon, 1T is seriously pro-
posed to continue the staff, which is of no use,
as it exists. But the staff, not content
with this concession, is lobbying at Washing
ton to defeat the Army bill lately agreed
upon by Conference Committee of the two
Houses; and with that shallowness which ac-
companies cunning, and is frequently Illus
trated by the Washington lobby, the officers
who are busiest in this bad business now
boast that they have secured the defeat of the
bill by inducing Senator Wilson to pigeon
"hOle" it. The Senator has evidently declined
to interrupt the debates ano votes on the
Franking bill and Income Tax by introducing
the Army BILL and for this discretion, as for
his votes on the two measures named, he de-
serves thanks. He will deserve and receive
further credit and gratitude if he promptly
gives the lie to these rumors of the staff, and
introduces the Army bill at once.
