EnFSreement Act Passed by Con.
81 EfSTNe 4UG5

4
The Intelligence Of yesterday would
seem to'concede the correctness of our
construction, but denies that Congress
had authority to pass it, and demands
that some one point out the authority
This is singular position for one that
wants to be considered the leading pa.
per in the State to take to call on others
to show, its party had not violated the
Federal Constitution However its party
has been in the habit of compelling
US to prove negatives. or be disfranchis-
ed, and as the Act in question, happens
to be one of the few passed by Congress
Of late years, that would admit of a
satisfactory answer to the CALL refer
to the last clause of the first section of
the Fifteenth Amendment, which reads
thus: 'No State shall deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection Of the laps."
The last section of the same amend
ment makes it the express duty of Con-
gress to see and take care that no State
denies this legal protection of the law,
which law in our State. is our State
Constitution as amended. This gives
the qualification and defines the right,
and by proper construction gives to all
male adult resident citizens prima fdcie
the right TO vote, of which he can be
deprived only by the State or its officers
proving affirmatively that the applicant
comes within some one or more of the
exceptions named The proper enforce
ment Of this right is what Congress in
tended to do by the Enforcement Act in
our case. And in view Of the pub
lished opinion of the MtelHgcncer a year
ago, of the iniquitous working of our
State registration law, | can't think its
editors will regard it as inappropriate or
unauthorized.
There is then section 4, Article of
the United States Constitution, which
reads thus: /" The times, place and man
ner Of holding elections for Senators
and Representatives shall be prescribed
in each State by the Legislature there
Of; bit the Congress may at any time, by
law, make or alter such reg,lahonS-ex-
cept as to the place Of choosing Sena-
tors |
Here is express authority for Congress
altering the "manner" and regulations"
of holding State elections fixed by the
State, at which Representatives to Con-
gress are to be chosen. This clause GER
tainly authorizes the 10Th, Goth, Dist
and 22d sections Of the Enforcement
Act, which forbids all persons embrac
ing State officials and Congressman, in
terfering in such elections.
1t seems to me your correspondent
Justice" in his able article in Fridays
paper, errs if he means to be under
stood that no matter touching the En-
forcement act is revisable by the higher
Federal Courts. Civil actions for the !
recovery Of the $500 damages are re
movable by writ of error from the Dis |
trict to the Circuit Court. See Bright, !
by Dig. p. 257, sec. ,.

A Simple Weather Glass.

This little instrument, says the Jour
nal Of applied Chemistry, is prepared in
the following way
Take a glass about ten inches in
length and one inch in diameter, and fill
it up with the following liquid: Two
parts camphor, one part nitrate OF
potash and one part sal ammoniac;
dissolve in spirits of wine and add water
until you have partially precipitated the
camphor. The extremity OF the tube
can be left open or Theoretically closed
The glass tube thus prepared is then
fixed in a vertical position against the
wall or board.
The changes in the weather are thus
indicated:
|. If the weather is to be fine the
composition of the substance will re-
main entirely at the bottom of the tube,
and the liquid above will be perfectly
clear and transparent.
=. Before the weather changes to be.
come rainy the precipitate will raise by
degrees, and small crystalizations, SINH
lar in shape to stars, will be seen to move
about the liquid.
3. When a storm is imminent the pre-
cipitate will rise to the top Of the tube,
assuming the shape Of leaf or an as
semblage of crystals. The liquid will
appear to be in a state of etfervescence.
This change very often takes place,
twenty-four hours before the change i'll
the weather. .
4. The side from which the wind will
blow in a squall will be also indicated
by the particles of the substance float
ing in the liquid, and assuming the
shape Of long hairy needles.
5. In the summer time, the weather
being warm and dry, the crysta'ization
will have tendency to remain lower in
the tube, and the liquid will also be
more transparent.
The am cunt Of crystalization parti-
Giles that will be seen floating in the
liquid will be sure sign or indication OF
fine or bad weather, and will depend en-
tirely upon the suddenness ofthe change
in the weather which is to take place,
acting in the most energetic way on the
composition above described.
The value Of this simple instrument
to forewarn of an impending storm and
also to indicate the continuance Of fine
weather will be readily appreciated by
those whose occupations are affected in
in the change OF the weather.

Advantage Of Fall Plowius.
BY Ex-Gov. HoLBRooK, Of VERMONT.

Without celebrating the many stron,
points in favor offall blowing, few 0
the prominent benefits may be brief,
stated as follows:
lst. August and September is a goot
time to turn over bound out soil lane
manure and reseed it at once to grass
obtaining a crop Of hay the following
year. .'t.a ... ~
I'd. October and November is an ex
excellent time to break up sod land fol
planting IN the spring.
Sd. The weather is then cool and
bracing and the team strong and hearty
for the work; while the weather in the
spring is more relaxing and the team
less able; and spring work being al
ways hurrying, it saves time to dispatch
as much of the blowing as possible dur
ing the previous autumn. F|
4th Sod land broken up early in
autumn will be quite free from growing
grass the following spring; the roots OF
the late overturned sward being so gen.
orally killed by the immediate succeed.
ing winter that not much grass will
readily start in spring.
9TH. The frostS of winter disintegrate
the plowed land, so that it readily
crumbles in fine particles in spring, and
a deep, mellow seed bed is easily made.
The chemical changes and modifica-
tons resulting from atmospheric action
turing the winter develop latent fertility
in the upturned burrows, which together
with mellowing influences, materially
increase the crop.
9th. Most kinds of insects are either
wholly destroyed, or their depredations
materially checked by late fall blowing,
especially the common white grub and
the cut-worm.
eth. Corn stubble land may be plowed
late in the fall, and thus be all ready
for very early sowing in the spring,
thereby going far to insure a good catch
OF grass; the roots Of the new seeding
getting hold well, or being well estab-
lished, before the drouths of summer
come on.
Sth. Most land in New England needs
deeper blowing than has generally been
practiced. When the subsoil is fine
grained, and unctuous and close, or
where there is hard pan Of good quail
ity, deep blowing may be at once resort
Ell to with decided advantage. Where
the subsoil is poorer, the blowing may
still be advantageously deepened by
degrees say an inch at each new break
ing mp. But in by far majority of
cases deep blowing may be practiced at
once-indeed it may be the rule with
safety, while shallow blowing may be
the exception. Plow say nine, ten,
eleven or twelve inches in November
The subsoil turned up will grow several
shades darker by spring. The frost
and atmospheric influences Of winter
will mellow the soil. Inorganic ele-
ments and all latent fertility will be
made more active for benefiting the
crop. In spring spread the manure
and pillow it in or otherwise work il in
mingle it with the soil to the depth, say
of four inches, or little more or less,
and YOU have the very best attainable
conditions for realizing good crops.
Deeper blowing may thus be practiced
than would at all times be safe or ex-
pcdient, if the blowing is delayed till
spring.

principles extracted in that country by
scientific Chemist and forwarded to the
mandatory In this city, where they are
compounded and bottled. Containing no
spirituous ingredients, the bitters is free
from the objections urged against all Others;
no desire for stimulants can be induced
from their use; they cannot make drunk
ards, and cannot, under any circumstances,
have any but a beneficial effect.

Trimming Hedges.

The Massachusetts Plougkman thus
talks under this heading:
"A handsome, carefully trimmed
arbor-vitR hedge is in our opinion, the
best and most ornamental Of any that
we in the North can grow. The shrub
is hardy, and the foliage close set. The
objections urged against buckthorn,
lilac, osage-orange, and others-nameIy,
a tendency to die out in patches, pre-
senting ragged, unattractive appear
ance-cannot be advanced against the
arbor,e if it is cared for. We know OF
hedges set over twenty years ago which
are now perfect in every square foot OF
their extent, and their foliage is most
attractive. In trimming the arbor'
vita, we adopt height of six
feet, and stretching lines at this
height, cut the hedge down to the lines,
Instead of shears, we use very sharp
grass-hook, and the work performed is
most satisfactory. The top of the hedge
trimmed, we stretch the lines along the
side Of the hedge foot lower than the
crown, and trim to these, the top sloPing
from the outside to the middle; We then
trim the rest ofthe hedge nearly or quite
| to perpendicular lines, The arbor.ritE
! needs a full exposure to the sunlight
and the practice common in many local
tiles Of trimming it with a projecting
edge, and receding or sloping inward a.
it approaches the ground. we believe
to be bad one"
A smart blowwith the knife, striking
up slantwise, instead OF down, is mos
effective, and accompanies the worl
rapidly

Hoofand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties OF the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM, and Favored
in such a manner that the extreme bitter
ness OF the Bitters is overcome, forming
preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate, and containing the medical
virtues OF the Bitters. The price OF the
Tonic is $3.50 per bottle, which many per-
sons think too high. They must take into
consideration that the stimulant used Is
guaranteed to be of n pure quality. A poor
article could be furnished at a cheaper price,
but is II not better to pay little more and
have good article? A medicinal prepare
ton should contain none but the best ingre-
dients, and they who expect ITO obtain
cheap compound will most certainly be
cheated.
