PROTECTING RooFs FROM FIRE.-Tbe
FirenaGn's Journal, which ought to be
good authority on such matters, says: "A
wash composed Of lime, salt and fine sand
or wood ashes, put on in the ordinary
way of white wash, is said to render the
roof fifty fold more safe against taking
fire from falling cinders or otherwise in
the vicinity. 1t pays the expense a hun
against the effect of the weather; the old
er and more weather beaten the shingles
the more benefit derived.
"Such shingles are generally more OF
less warped, rough and cracked. The
application or wash, by wetting the up
per surface, restores them to their origi'
nal or first form, thereby closing the
spaces between the shingles; and the
lime and sand, by filing up the cracks,
prevent its Warping."

Proclamation BY the President

The act ofCongress entitled can act to enforce
the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment tc
the Constitution of the United States and fol
other purposes approved April 20, A. D., 1871
being law of extraordinary public Importance
consider it my duty to issue this my proclama-
ton, calling the attention of the people of the
United States thereto enjoinng upon all good
citizens, and especially upon all public officers,
to be Jealous in the enforcement thereof, and
warning all persons to abstain from commttir g
any of the acts thereby prohibited. 4
The law of Congress applies to all parts of the
U. s., and will be enforced everywhere, to the
extent the powers vested in the Executive But,
inasmuch as the necessity therefor is well known
to have been caused chiefly by persistent viola
tons of the rights of citizens of the u S., by
combinations of lawless and disatfected persons
in certain localities, lately the theatre of insur-
rection and military conflict, l do particularly
exhort the people of those parts of the country
suppress all such combinations by their own vol
untary efforts through the agency of local laws
and to maintain the rights of all citizens of the
U. S., and to to all such citizens the equal
protection Of the laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed up
on the Executive by the act of Congress to which
public a tention is now called, and reluctant to
call into exercise any of the extraordinary pow
ers thereby conferred upon me, except in cases
of imperative necessity, do, nevertheless, deem
1t my duty 10 make known That Will not hesitate
to exhaust that power thus vested in the Execu-
tive, whenever and wherever it shall become
necessary to do so for the purpose Of securing to
all citizens of the u S.. 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 impartial laws in every part of our
try.
i The failure of local communities to furnish
such means for the attainment of results so earn
estly desired imposes upon the National Govern
ment the duty Of putting forth all its energies
for the protection of 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 my
hand AMI 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, eighteen hun
dred and seventy one, and of the independence of
the United States the ninety-ffth. q

We desire to call the peoples attention to a

the poor, the young and the old, the male and the
female, of Sl 90 for each member of family for
the use of water from the town pipes and public
pumps, for Drinking Cooking and Washing pur-
poses. 1t is due to our Fathers. who best and

yond what is adequate for its support. Is this
necessary? Is it right? Is it not rather insuffer
able? Can there be but one opinion in regard to
the injustice of this oppressive tax, when not one
foot of new pipe is extended to supply destitute
portions of the town with water. We hear men
complain every day, how hard it is to get on in
life is it not then a part of youf duty to look
more closely into this extravigant tax, together,
with the awful tax Of ST, 10 on each $1,Oo worth

shall meet its claims upon my property? How
shall me its claims upon my scanty means, and
support my family? Tax payer, it is for you to
apply the remedy, willyou doit? The realissue
is, shall this ruinous tax, and this council stand
or fall together p We shall inquire incur next
article, how much of this common fund is paid
out in salaries to officers, we understand salaries
have been increased from $3.50, to $4,000. e 81
Your answer upon the point, especially how
$4,000 has been expended in the last eight
months, is respectfully solicited and will anx-
