IRON WASHINGTON.
Presidential proclamation


WASHINGTON, May 4.-By the President Of
the United States of America, a proclama-
tion:-
The act of Congress entitled "Au act to en-
force the provisions of the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States,
and for other purposes" approved April 20,
1871, being law of extraordinary public inn
portanee consider it my duty to issue this my
proclamation calling the attention of the people
of the United States thereto, enjoining upon oil
good citizens, and especially upon all public
officers, to be Jealous in the enforcement
thereof, and warning all persons to abstain from
committing any of the acts thereby prohibited.
This law of Congress applies to all parts of the
United States, and will be enforced everywhere
to the extent of the powers vested in the Exc
cutive.
But inasmuch as the necessity therefor is we'll
known to have been caused chiefly by persistent
violations of the rights of citizens of the United
States, by combinations of lawless aud dis
affected persons In certain localities lately the
theatre of insurrection and military conflict l
do particularly exhort the people OF those parts
of the country to suppress all such combina-
tions by their own voluntary efforts through the
agency of local laws aud to maintain the rights
of all citizens of the United States, aud to Sc
all such citizens the equal protection of the
laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed
upon the Executive by the act of Congress to
which public attention is nowcalled, and reluctant
to call into exercise any of the extraordinary
powers thereby conferred upon me- except in
ases of Imperative necessity, / do, neverthe-
less, deem it my duty to make known that /
will not hesitate to exhaust the powers thus
vested in the Executive whenever and wherever
it shall become necessary to do so for
the purpose of securing to all
citizens of the United States the
peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to
them by the Constitution and laws. 1t is my
earnest wish that peace and cheerful obedience
to law may prevail throughout the land, and
that all traces of our late unhappy civil strife
may be speedily removed. These ends can be
easily reached by acquiescence in the results of
the conflict now written in
our Constitution and by the due and
proper enforcement of equal, just, and impair
tial laws in every part of our country The
failure of local governments to furnish such
means for the attainment of results so earnestly
desired impose upon the National Government
the duty of putting forth all its energies for the
protection of all its citizens of every race and
color, and for the restoration of peace and order
throughout the entire country.
In testimony whereof / have hereunto set nv
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this third day
of May, in the year Of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-one, and of the In
dependence of the United States the ninety
fifth. U. s. GRANT.

sentative to enter any house between sunrise

exist, was stricken out
long argument ensued on this bill, and a
motion to postpone the further consideration
of the same and make it the special order for

Mrs. Young's Lecture.


From all parts of the Sound we hear
most favorable and fiattering reports of
the lectures, i'm behalf of total ahstin-
ence, given by our worthy sister, Carrie
+. Young. That the truths she has so
bravely spoken, will result in good to
the people and to the Order of Good
Templars we cannot doubt. Every ap-
pOintment advertised three weeks ago
saving one (Whatcom) was met prompt
ly. One new Lodge, organized, that re-
ports large accessiOns TO its numbers at
every subsequent meeting. The NictO-
ria Daily STANDARD of October Sd, SAYS:
A very intellectual treat in iecturing
was given last evening at the Albandora
by Mrs. Carrie +. Young, NJ. ID. The
pleasure evinced i'm witnessing the dis
course was frequently and gratefully ac-
iknowledged by the plaudits of the two
or three hundred ladies and gentlemen
who were present on the occasion. Rev.
Mr.. Pollard of the Wesleyan Church,
occupied the chair; Mr.. Y. Shakespear,
a prominent member OF the !. o. G.. T.,
also had seat on the platform. The
subject treated of was 'FThe Use and
Abuses of Alcohol" This evening, by
the desire of the audience, the question
will be resumed, physiological effects
of Alcohol" being the lady's text, if we
may so put il, for Tonight
The same paper Of the 5th inst. says:
Mrs. Doctor Young gave lecture num-
ber two last evening to an audience
largely increased from previous evening.
Upon the platform We're members of the
i. O. G. T. The lecture was garnished
with numerous anecdotes serving to il
lustrate her subject, which was ''The
Physiological Effects of Alcohol" On
tomorrow evening the fair speaker will
place before the audience a choice of two
subjects, viz: the analysis of "beer and
whisky" and the philosophy of delir-
ium tremens." I'VE commend this
talented lady to the notice of the whole
public, and hope she will be gratified
to witness a very full attendance.
The British COlORjSf, Of October 5th,
says:
Alhambra Hall was crowed last night
to its fullest capacity to hear the elo-
quent and talented Mrs. Young in her
discourse on Temperance. Her manner
of treating the subject physiOlOgically
evinces a considerable amount of study,
and her eloquent style of addressing a
public audience is well calculated, if not
to convince, at least to attract the at
tention of thinking people. The third
lecture will be delivered this evening at
be asked to select the subject.
The third and last lecture in Victoria
was largely attended and won hearty
approval from press and people.-JcDl-
pcrdIlcc (OlyDlpid) Echo.

PLOwING. WET SoIL--Hardly any
practice on the farm is more to be depre-
Gated than blowing or stirring the soil
when wet. This is one of the small
operations affecting often times a whole
crop, and lasting injuriously through the
whole season. Unless in sandy soils, any
stirring or moving by spade, plOw, or
harrow, when wet, tends to compress
and compact its particles, when the
object is or ought to be, to pulverize
and make mellow. ''Good tillage is
manure;" and stirring of wet soil is only
allowable in a brick-yard. No imple-
ment that we know of is capable of again
opening Jumps of earth to atmospheric
action and influences, after they have
once closed up, by compression, and be-
come externally hardened. Any one
can observe this, by moulding lump
of damp earth in their hand, when it
becomes the consistence of putty. When
exposed to the air it becomes nearly as
hard as stone.
