A good many intelligent republicans
had q shrewd suspicion, when Grant was
presidential candidate, that his seeming
ignorance aad stupidity were "the evi-
dence Of things unseen " on the inside of
the man, and of all the things in him, so
far as mental capacity was concerned.
They hoped, however, that he would
surround himself with an able cabinet,
and cooperate with the most conservative
and judicious republicans in congress in
restoring peace to the country, and in
dealing with financial questions.
They must be sadly disappointed in con-
templating the weakness Of the cabinet,
and his associations with Forney, Butler,
Morton, Drake, Summer, and the most
malevolent Of the Jacobin leaders. They
have him under their thumbs, and conser-
vative republicans can do nothing with
him. There is, probably, not q man in
Washington who has more influence with
him than Fornsy, and it is notorious that
Forney is the henchman of Butler. The
latter is at the head of the movement to
remand the southern states to military
rale, and to this movement Grant has Civ
en- his approval. He asks congress to pass
q law authorizing him to send troops into
the southern states, without waiting for q
requisition from the governor or legisla>

To Destroy Currant Worms and Bugs.

Az DCStAVy SAA 01S VVA uS WuV OuSSs
Mr.. Richard Dopp, of this city, an old
gentleman of keen observations, assures
us that there is nothing so efectual in
keeping worms and bugs from all kinds of
trees, shrubs and bushes as green cedar
brush. He says cut the cedar brush into
small pieces, sprinkle it under and among
the curant bushes and you will not be
troubled with worms! 10 keep bugs and
worms from fruit trees, he recommends
fruit>growers to tic cedar brush around
the trunks of the trees. There is some>
thing offensive about cedar to all bugs
and worms, and they do not approach It.
Mr.. Dopp has observed this, and proftted
thereby, for several years past, and now
benefit of the public. He remarks that,
although he had spent great deal of his
time in the woods, he has never yet dis
covered worms nest on cedar brush.
He states further that cedar brush is also
effectual in warding off mosquitoes and
flies. A horse may be rubbed with the
brush in the morning and flies will not
bother him that day, or until the odor
wears of. So, person may lie down in
the woods to sleep, cover himself with
cedar brush and not be troubled by flies,
mosquitoes or bugs. Our readers can
easily try the remedy, in any of these
cases, when the proper time arrives.
Should cedar brush be effectual for all
Mr.. Dopp claims for it and we have the
utmost faith in his experience with it
he will be counted as a public benefac-
tor for furnishing this information to the
public.-Utica Observer.

1--WE acknowledge no inferiorlty to men.
We claim to have 40 less ability to per.
form the duties which God has imposed
upon us than they have to perform those
imposed upon them. We believe that
God has wisely and well adapted each sex

We feel that our presen: duties fill up the

VI to protest against all efforts to COM
pei US to assume those obligations which
cannot be separated from suffrage, but
which cannot be performed by US without
the sacrifice of the highest interests Of our
families and of society. 1t is our fathers,
brothers, husbands, and sons who repre'
sent us at the ballot-box. Our fathers and
brothers love US. Our husbands are our
choice, and one with us. Our sons are
what we make them. We are content
that they represent as in the corn.feld,
the battle field, and at the ballot-box, and
we them in the school-room, at the fire.
side, and at the cradle; believing our
representation, even at the ballot boz, to

to vote. We do, therefore. respectfully
protest against any legislation to estab-
lish 'woman's suffrage in our land or

Newspaper Editing.

Few persons, who have not been con-
nected for any length Of time with daily

Bulletin, can be aware of the ceasless
! strain upon the capabilities of those
whose unending duties it is to furnish a
quota Of news evsry day in the year
Winter, Spring, Summer and FALL
supply the dem ands of the great public :
nor can it be estimated until seriously
undertaken. Rain or shine, sick or we'll,
cheerful or gloomy-however unprepared
the mind may be for the diurnal task
the columns or paragraphs must come,
and must be furnished within given hours.
Somebody has written very effective
poem about the "Slave of the Lamp"
Could it have occurred to him that he
was painting the portrait of an editor?
The man who, troubled with the caco-
ethics scribendi, "takes his pen in hand''
when in the vein, and indites paragraph
or communication to the press, thinks, as
he complacently reads his effusion the next
morning, that after all it is no such great
work to write up a newspaper but let
him bend down to it year, and be obliged
to farnish matter for the types every day,
and he will begin to feel some charity for
the editor, and instead of judging him
harshly, rather fall to wondering that he
repeats himself so se!dom-says so little
that is not absolute trash, and finds 50
many topics to write upon.
Why, the nero manual abor of writing
pages enough Of manuscript to fill two or
three columns in daily newspaper would
be a good days work for many persons.
But when we add to this that Of collecting
the news about great city--of arranging
the names, places, time, and the COM
ments and deductions necessarily attached
to it-and then the task Of mentally
preparing all this to suit the public de-
mand, it will be admitted that the daily
labor of the editorial room is not sur
passed by any other occupation. We do
not, in this list, count the multifarious du-
ties connected with the other departments
of writing-the law, the commercial, the
news summaries, the arranging OF cor
respondence, the selections from interior
papers, the patient perusal of contribu.
tions, which must too often, after all, be
rejected.

The high tariff papers of Philadelphia
are demanding. in the strongest language,
the abolition of the income tax, not at the
end of next year, but now. They say the
discomfort of the people, as manifested in
the Connecticut election, should lead the
Republicans in Congress to reflect upon
the party bearings Of this question, and
yield to party expediency what they are
unwilling to concede to justice. The
above, in substance, is what they say Of
the income tax, which is not half so bur-
densome to the masses of the people as
the exactions of the tariff.

Bcecher's paper, the Christian Union,
publishes an article to show that all christ
ians are astray on the form of baptism.
The Apostolic method was that of INNER
sion, as held by Baptists, not immersion
as they practice it, but immersion naked.
Acts viii, IL. "They were baptized both
mon and women" is understood as mean.
ing males were immersed naked by males,
and females naked by females. It is pre-.
sumed that Mr.. Beecher will experience
as much opposition in Plymouth Church
to any attempt of his to reform this as the
marriage sacrament.
We clip the above from an exchange
only for the purpose of stating that Acts
viii, IL does not tell any such story. The
verse reads:
''But when they believed Phillip preach
ing the things concerning tho kingdom Of
God, and the name of Jesus Christ they
were baptized, both men and women
The inference drawn that men baptized
men and women baptized women we re-
gard as wrong for the reason that womer
in early christian days were not recog-
nized as ministerial teachers in any man
ner whatever. St. Paul, the great, lega
adviser Of the Churches, expressly stated
that it was unfeminine even to uncove,
their heads in an assembly hence we con
clude that women never administered tn.
rite Of baptism to each other and mos1
particularly to naked convert. 1t is told

of Holy Writ, veri6es the statement abov.
attributed to Mr.. Beecher, but we care mo-
for that history, because Eve, "the mother
of l,"as Milton calls her, covered hersel
with fig leaves as soon as she became con
scious of her nakedness and because ",
all know that there are no historic record,
Of women exposing their nude bodies t
public gaze. We think Beecher has reai

The Independence Conservative, speak
ing of the crop now being sown in that
region says:
We are told that in many parts of this
county the farmers are not sowing as much
wheat this Spring as usual, but are going
to put in more corn. This we suppose is
result OF their relative prices, during the
last season, together with the fact that the
season is very late fer wheat sowing. We
think the change very sensible one, a s
there are many much more profitable crops
than wheat for this latitude.
