The Senate reassembled at 1880 p. m. for the
confederation of the fifteenth amendment bill,
the pending question being on the amendment
Of Mr.. Warner, authorizing any person TO sue
any party dePriying another party Of his vote;
which was rejected.
WMr. Sawyer said although he had been pro-
scribed himself for his Union sentiments, per-
sonal considerations could not govern his ac-
ton, and be thought the best interests OF the
Government would be subseryed by policy
Of magnanmity which would appeal to the
better nature Of the Southern people. Ia
Mr., Thurman argued against the right Of
Congress TO Interfere with the elections In the
States.
Mr.. Sherman submitted an amendment,
which he said had been prepared by com
The amendment was read, providing that
any person at elections for members o3 Con
Rrcss, o. electors for President or Vice Pre-i
dent who shall vote and not DO entitled to vote.
or who shall, by any means, induce or compel
anelection officer 10 receive unlawful votes, and
any election offlecr refusing or emitting 70 do
any duty imposed by this act shall be indletable
and on conviction suffer flne not exceeding
$500, or imprisonment not exceeding three
years, or both, and pay costs. Also, providing
same penalties for unlRwfully registering or
causlng the registering OF any person not enH-
unlawful Interference with political mectlngs,
called to dlscusa national aifairs or claims of
candidates for federal Officers
Tho question was discussed by Messrs. Cas-
serly Sherman, TrImbull, Davis and others.
Mr.. Thurman characterized the amendment
Of Mr.. Sherman as startling, and nOt az all
germane 10 the bill. Il would reverse the
whole policy Of the Government for eighty
years. .
On motion Of Mr.. Hamlin, that part Of Mr..
Shermana amendment relative 10 the disturb
anee o. political meetings was stricken ont.
Mr.. Thurman then argued at length In OPP
poalton 10 the amendment.

lsted that he declined to proceed, and called

Which question viii answer. so tar AS
my experience goes. hoping some of the
practical farmer readers OF the Democrat
will answer the others. In the Spring of
1869. after my crops were planted. except
one piece for corn, was induced to try
one cask of the Cumberland Bone Super
phosphate, and being somewhat predju,

diced against il. was particular to know
if il paid. The soil on which used the
Cumberland Bone, is Of brown loan. uni
form in quality, broke up in the Fall and
manure iceU han o,ced ia in the Spring
| planted several rows of corn, using
about half u tea cup full of the Superphos-
plate to the Hill, then planted several
rows without it; next used the Super
phosphate tor several rows. and thus al
ternated through the field. The corn
where used the Superphosphate, came
up quickly was not {, Dubbed with worms
and continued about one week ahead oil
the other corn through the season. AT
harvesting time cut mp the corn, kept II
separate, and found by measuring. that
where | used the Superphosphate, there
was 40 bushels of corn to the acre. and
where il was not used there was only 40
bushels TO the acre.
Thirty bushels of corn at $50, (the
price here S45; one cask Cumberland
Bone. PAS lbs. including freight from
Portland to Lowell $50; expense for
putting on Superphosphate Sl.oo; en-
pense of husking sixty bushels of coru.
$500; total $3.50. The net profit on
one cask, $3.50; the net profit per ton.
SOP 90
The above may be an exceptional case,
as very much depends on the nature o'
the soil, season, &c il is simply the result
OF my first and only experiment. The
