TIMELY HISTs.-Weeds. This
is one of the best times to kill cor
tain biennial weeds. They start
as early as the grass, and they are
easily killed with a hoe. Go
through the meadows and lanes,
along the fences, and over the
grain fields, with as strong a force
Of men and boys--women and
girls too il possible-armed with
hoes, and cut or pull all such
weeds as thistles, mullens, wild
teazles, daisies, wild parsnips and
carrots, and many other plants,
now easily seen, but which viii
soon be concealed in the
grass. Let docks alone; IL cut,
they will make halfa dozen shoots,
which will break off when one
tries to pull them; left to grow till
they are nearly ready to blossom,
they may be pulled easily in wei
weather, and destroyed, root and
top.

TREATMENT OF SMALLPox.-We
recommend the following TO the mo-
tice ofour physicians. IfupOn trial
it should be found effective, Il will
go far toward robbing q very dis
agreeable disease Of many terrors !;
A great discovery IL said TO have
been recently made BY surgeon Of
the British army IN China, In the
way of on efTectual remedy for
smallpox. The mode Of treatment
Is as follows: When the preceding
fever Ia at its height, aud Just be-
fore the eruption appears, the chest
Is rubbed with CrotOn oil and tar
taric ointment. This causes the
whole ofthe eruption to appear on
that part Ofthe body TO The relief Of
the rest. 1t also secures q full and
complete eruption, and thus pre-
vents the disoasa from attacking the
Internal organs. This is now The
established mode Of treatment In
the English army IN China, and il
regarded asaperfect cure.

Iris with pleasure that we chron-
icle the arrival at our wharvcs Of a
cargo, consisting of three bargcs,
6,00O barrels, Of salt from the Ka-
nawha salt works.
These works are operated upon a
capital of S2,OOOOOO and it is an
important aud encouraging fact
they have selected this city as n
principal depot for the sale OF their
manufacture.
The cargo that has been landed
here is valued at $4,000 and will
make this the general point of sup
ply for the article Of salt for very
large section Of country.
In addition to this, 1t will add
materially to the business Of our
city by giving employment to
drays in hauling and to men in
handling, as well as adding to the
city's income by the tax paid az
revenue.
The salt Is packed in clean white
barrels, In splendid condition, and
is an elegant looking article OI
prime necessity for q country like
ours. Again, we say, we are glad
to note that a general agency has
been established here, and Te hope
to see similar enterprises set afoOI
in our midst.

LHAN4 tAs RH4AAa N4AAt4Ai
Senator Carpenter, albeit q Radl-
cal from the Radical State Of Wis
cOnsin, has q free way talking,
sometimes. His speech, Wednes-
day, on the case Of BrlgadieF Sena-
tor Ames, was one Of the most
scathing rebukes Of Radical lawless.
ness to which the Senate has ever
been forced to listen; and all the
more severe because sarcastlCal,
rather that denunCiatory. Allu.
ding to the attacks which had been
made upon the Judiciary committee,
he drew the inference that that
committee had come to be regard
ed as an obsolete institution, "be-
longing 10 by-gone condition Of
things In which the constitution
was supreme" He confessed that
when % political measure must be
put through, and when the con-
stitutiOn must be disregarded, the
judiciary committee, in the nature
Of things, was a useless machiAe."
He further expressed his willing
ness 10 have Il abolished tO-mor-
row, as q played-out relic Of other
times. In the following strain of
bitterest irony the senator contin-
ued:
COnceding, for the purpose Of this
discussion, that whenever the con-
stitution stands In the way Of what
we deem human rights-Of what
we deem a temporary advantage OF
tOh0t zoe deem a party eRd-that Il
Is to be trGmpIed under foot and
disregdrdCd. COnCeding all that
and that is all that any senator can
claim for modern progress In the
revolutionary directions; conced.
ing all that, the case Of General
Ames does not fall within the con-
cession. A decent respect for things
past, a decent regard for the theory
Of our government, a decent regard
for our Oaths, should dictate that
the constitution Is not to be tram
pied under foot except in cases o.
great RecesSity; cases Of great cor
responding advantages to the coun'
try, or to the party, or to human
rights, or to somebody. What
inducememt then is there now tC

constitution What Is the nocessi

Immediately? Does the fate Of thu

No, sir, Here we are In profound
peace with the republican party II

or difficulty, be sent back here with
in six days from this time. Their
Is no reason whatever why tn
Senate should not decide the ques
tion upon strict principles.
Comment on the above is unnec
essary. We simply put 1t on rCcOru
as a confirmation, from good Radi
cal authority. of all that we hav
ever said Of the revolutionary char
acter Of the party In power.

WE extract the following from
the st. Loud Democrat Of March
25th. This paper Is known to be
a square out Radical journal OF
influence and commanding posi-
ton in that party in the West and
the extract we repubIIsh from lie
editorial Coldmns condemnatory
Of Ames' holding the seat Of a U.
s. Senator, should be carefully
considered by the Radical friends
of Ames in Mississippi.
GENERAL AMEs.
The legal question whether Gen.
eral Ames is eligible as Q Senator
from Mississippi we do not pro-
pose to discuss. As Senator Nor
ton very properly said, the Judi
ciary Committee Of the Senate has
not been absolutely infallible, and
its opinion on that question may
be disputed. But there is q phase
of the question upon which ell in
telligent men may form an opinion.
Granting all that can be claimed as
TO tho honorable service, the integ-
rity, and the personal merit Of
General Ames, II is still q question
whether q General commanding
ought TO be chosen 20 represent
the State over the organization Of
which he has such power. There
is something In It not quite conSO-
nant with American ideas. II the
General had been connected with
the United States army on other
duty, the case would be different.
The fact that he was In Mis-
sissippI charged with almost
absolute control over the
whole work Of reconstruction,
while 1t does not prove that he
swerved from his duty In the least
to secure his election--and we have
no reason to believe that he did
nevertheless raises 10 the minds OF
those who do not know him grave
doubts as TO the entire partiality
of his use of power under circum.
stances so delicate and embarTass-
ing. The work Of reconstruction
itself would command greater con.
fidence, would be moro generally
regarded as the voluntary work OF
the people, and would justify
greater faith In the future good
conduct Of the State, we think, Il
the Legislature had not elected &c
the highest Office in its gift the
very man who had welded mos
power in the election. Genera
Ames himself would command I
larger share Of public confidence
and men wOuld more readily be
lieve that in every act he had con
suited only the public interest, |
he had firmly refused 70 accept any
Office whatever at this time.
All this may be said without thI
slightest desire TO cast Q suspicion
upon the General. We have be
lieved him q faithful officer, and
true man, and from ell that we cal
learn, have been disposed TO thlnl
that he had pursued Q very honOra
bic and manly course, taklug .
advantage OF bis position, and &C
Cepting the Senatorship only BE-
cause he was the free choice Q

But Il is unfortunate that he, prob

The Democrats In Congress Fath-
or enjoy Reyels' presence. He is q
Caucaaalan- looking darkeyy net at
all black, reads bis speeches well,
far better than most Of the Repub-
lican readers In the Senate, having
practiced much as q preacher, and
attracts greater crowds than Nor
ton, or Sherman, or Sumner, and Is
thought much more Of, indeed, TAX
ing the place Of Clay, and Webster,
aud other great luminaries OF
brighter days. AS for his speeches,
or any other read speeches, In
Congress, nowadays, nobody
knows who writes them, but II Is
asCertained they are altogether bet
ter for being written by somebody.
Any fool In Congress now, that
has money or friends, can buy OF
have as good q speech, as q Motley
or q Prescott, or q LongfellOw
could write, sprlnkled all over
with poetry. The written and
laughter speeches are decidedly the
best. Hence there Is delight
among the Democracy over the elO-
Quence and the attraction Of Rev
els, and the eclipse he makes oi
Sumner, Sherman & Co.
And the Democrats enjoy the
social, as well as the political equal
ity Of Revels, who, by the way,
is not over nice or cloau, though
nice and clean enough for a Sena-
tor. Revels goes to the wash room
of the Senate, aud washes aud
wipes with Sherman, Morton, 4 Co.
and to the Senate barber shop and
lathsrs aud shave with the same
soap and brush as Sherman, Nor
ton g. Co. He uses the same head
comb, and, for aught l know, the
same tooth.brush-if there be q
common toothbrush in the Sena-
torial dressing and washing room
And Revels washes often, and
wipes often, aud comes often, and
mixes his wool with Sherman's and
Morton's hair. which is all right ant
proper in these days of white ant
black equality. But It goes hard
though, with Sherman Morton q
Co., and II is not certain that they
will wash, shave, or comb any NOR
in the Senatorial dressing-room.

Citizens Of Mississippi will you
give your patronage and support

stand pledged, as a party, to de.
stroy your liberty, your rights and

justice they accord to the negros
Will you continue to support a

men and measures, who, though

ful to you and tyranical and
unjust; men whose only aim, un-
der the heavens, Is position and

Will you, We ask, by your
money and countenance, aid and
support and encourage the Radical
party, orits organs2 We cannot
believe you will.
The HERALD asks, and can get,
nothing from "public pap"
Why: Because it has stood by
the people and tried to advocate
their cause in its feeble way; be.
cause it has scorncd and exposed
the Radical party and its mem
bers; because it has been prompt
and bold to denounce that party's
corruption and tyranny; because
it has advocated Democracy, 1.-THE
party of the people"
The HERALD confidently looks
to the PEorLE for support and fol
aid and encouragement in this
contest against power, wealth an(
corruption, 1t relys upon the
justice and patriotism Of the citi
zens Of ihi, locality and of Mis-
