RADICAL HONESTY The Democrat,
members Of the House met in confer
cnco at the Capitol in Washington
Mr. Randall presiding, to consider The
propriety Of having the Democratic
members retire from further service
on the Committee on Elections, OF
the ground that that Committee wat
so ultra partisan in its decisions oI
contested election cases, that no Dem
ocratic member whose scat was ton.
tested, or a Democrat who was a BON.
testant for scat, sioofthe ghostof O
chance. The case of Judge Creme
Of New York, was cited as the lhesl
instance wherein the committce.h bad
decided against a Democrat, whola
been elected by several hundred ma.
iority, and from a district that has
since his election to the H,usC
increased its Democratic maio1 les
No final action, however, was aken
on the object OF the conference.

How do You feel since the State has

have "addcd insult to injury" and the
injury inflicted will be forgiven sooner
than the insult wantonly offered. A

llibernian If he felt any better since
tho State was admitted. "Dera a bh."

"don't like the way twas done"
They desired the admission of tho
State, but desired her to be admitted

will not assent to her degraSaiion.

Not a Democrat in either the Senate
or House of Representatives voted for
the ill-begotten bill, as amended in
the Senate, for the admission of Vir.
glnla. Senators and Representatives
on the Republican side who declared
the amendments unconstitutional and
voted for them, despite the fact that
they had taken oathS not to vote for

HARD ON Brother REvELs.-The
Rev. Hiram r. Revels, the "colored
gentleman" elected U S. Senator from
Mississippi, is evidently a man Of
experience. The Washington CORE.
spondent of the New York Herald
thus speaks of the national "wardo
aforesaid
at seems that spirit Of opposition Is gaining
strength In the Senate against Mr.. Revols 4
variety Of charges circulating which, II correct
will probably prove an obstacle in the way Of his
admission TO a seat. We're Mr. Rcvols a white
man all that has been said about this man would
permanently destroy his chances One of the
charges alleged against him is that he participated
in church brawl in St. Louis and was laid out by
a tap on the pate with bottle. AZ Icavenworih,
Kansas, he is charged with embezslng church
funds. According to the allegations the peregrin-
ations Of the Senator elect were mainly induced
by his conduct. The Democrats ut first talked Of
opposing the admission Of Revols, but since these
new facts have turned up they seem disposed 10
see what will be done with this sable worthy. Il
Is understood, however, that Senator Vickers. of
Maryland, is still determined TO object 10 the ad
mission upon the grounds that Rcycls Is not con.
stitutonaliy eligible to a seat in the Senate The
objection to ReVels on account Of immortality /,
not considered fatal for Senator Of the United
States"
As crime and immortality are "not
considered fatal" defects in a loyal
Congressman, the brother may slip
through.

METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL.-This
iniquity, intended to take the appoint
ment of the Police, in Philadelphia,
out Of the hands of the Mayor, for
partisan purposes, passed to third
reading in the Senate, under the opor-
alton OF the "previous question: on
Monday evening, by one majority, Mr..
Lowry votingagainst it. The friends
Of this new "riDg" measure, who have
collected in Harrisburg in large mum
bcrs, are said to be jubilant and conf.
dent of its passage by both Houses.
The Commissioners now are the
Mayor, VIM. j. Pollock, John Ne
Carlhay, George Trueman, Peter A.
B. Weidner and John S. Rittenhouse
The Mayor is thrown in as a tub to
the non-partisan whale-a sop to
Cerberus. The Board and the bill are
purely partisan for all practical pur-
poses The bill was forced through
under the previous question, moved
by Mr.. Connell, six Senators being
absent.

TnF AVrn ANESDarSr.- Should the
18th Amendment be adopted by three
fonrihs of the States, and become n
part of the fundamental law, We may
then begin TO look for the beginning
OF the end Congress will AZ once
assume the right to control and regu-
late all State elcctions--a right which
the States, By their own madness and
folly, VII have surrendered TO the
Central Despotism. The second sec
tion Of the 18th Amendment explicitly
coniers upon Congress the power to
control elections in the States. Read
the whole article and be convinced:
Anr. XIV, src. /. The right Of citizens Of
the United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States. or by any State,
on account Of race or color, or previous condition
Of scryitude.
sEc. 2 Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation.
The term appropriate legislation
is one Of unlimited scope aud signifi-
cameo, and may be construed TO confer
upon Congress the power to fix the
time for holding all elections in the
States, the selection OF the election
officers, and in fact, the full control of
the whole question. And il will be a
very short time after the ratification
of this Amendment, until the "appro-
pirate legislation of Congress will
teach the people what is meant by this
second section. Mark the prediction.

ages in different localities the farmer now plants
judioiOusly and on fit ground with a reasonable hope
that his labor will be duly rewarded.
It seems to be generally agreed that clayey soils
ale not adapted to its growth; that if the quantity
Of the crop be not snted, its quality is pretty sure
to be Inferior and can personally testify that the
planting of Potatoes on wet sol-that is, on swampy
or spOngy land which has not been thoroughly
drained and swcetened-is a hopeless, thriftless
labcr-that the crop viii seldom beworth the seed.
As TO the ten a dozen different insects to which
the POtatOrot has been attributed regard them all
as consequences not causes attracted to prey the
plant by its sickly, weakly condition. and not really
responsible for that condition. If any care for my
reasons, let him refer to what have said Of the
Wheat-plant and its insect cnemies.i
There has been much discussion as to the kind Of
seed to be planted. and think the result has been
pretty general conviction that il is better to cut the
tubers into pieces having two or three eyes each,
than to plant it whole since the whole Potato sends
up a superfuty of stalks, with like effect on the
crop that of putting six eight kernels Of corn in
each hill.
Small Potatoes immature, unripe, and of course
should never he planted, since their progeny will be
feeble and sickly. Select for seed none but thor
ouehly ripe Potatoes and the larger the better.
My own judgment favors planting III drills rather
than hills, with ample space for working between
them; not less than 80 inches; the seed being
dropped about inches apart in the drill. The soil
must he deep and mellow for the Potato suffers
from drOuth much sooner than Indian Corn or al
most any other crop usually grown among u.s. l be-
leve in covering the seed from to p inches, and
hold TO flat level culture for this as foreverything
else. Planting on ridge made b. turning two fur
rows together may be advisable where the land is
wet but then wet land never can be made fit
for cultivation, except by undertaking. And
l insist upon setting the rows drills
well apart because hold that the soil should often
be loosencd and stirred to good depth with the
suIsoi pillow and that this process should be per-
severed in till the plant is in blossom. Hardly any
plant viii pay better for persistent cultivation than
the Potato.
As to varieties, / will only say that plant
ing the tubeTs for seed is unnatural process,
which tends and must tend to degeneTacy The new
varieties now most priced will certainly out in
the of twenty thirty years AT furthes and
must he replaced from time To time by still newer,
grown from the seed. This creation of new species
is and must be, slow, expensive process since not
one in hundred of these varieties possess any yaue.
don't quite believe in selling-I mean in buying
Potatoes at 81 per pound; but he who originates
really valuable new Potato deserves a recOmpense
for his industry, patience, and good fortune and 1
shall be glad to learn that he receives IT.
