THE New BAYoNET ELECTION AcT--Ihe
new Bill, which has now passed both Houses OF
Congress- called the Enforcement Act, and
which is designed to exceed in effectiveness as
a piecs of election machinery that of the last
session, will, it is to be presumed, says the Bal
.timore. Sun, become Law by the. favor. OF the
President. We have heretofore given 9 pretty
full and accurate exhibit of its astonishing pro-
visions, under which penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment are imposed regarding the registra-
ton of voters, which is virtually to be taken
possession of by. the Federal officials, and also
the conduct of the elections-the operation OF
the Act to be no longer limited to cities and
towns or 20, 600 inhabitants, if two citizens ask
for its application in places of lesser note. For
any supposed interference or non-submissIon OF
State to Federal officers in these matters, phi
marily undertaken by the State itself, parties
are subject to be arrested without warrant by
the United States Marshal or his Deputies, and
provision is made for the transfer of any suit
brought by an aggrieved citizen against Fed
eral officer from State Court to United
States Circuit Court, and TO render the iudg-
ment of State Court In such case null and
void. ...... ... ,e,.. .,,-.f,- {.
If this iy not degrading and debasing the
States wantonly and Indignantly, 1t Is difficult
TO conceive what it is. The act Of the last ses-
sion, If We mistake not, reacted injuriously up
on the dominant political party in the country
which passed it, ostensibly for the purpose OF
securing the purity of elections. It was for
certain localities only, at that time-New York
city, more especially, it was said-but now it
seems corruption is everywhere. 1t has grown
SO rapidly that the law must be so framed as to
be brough ght to bear at will in all quarters, and
be made more stringent and unsparing than be-
fore. It is difficult to believe that it will not,
instead of promoting the party ends of those
who passed it, bring indignant rebuke towards
them from among the people. In this State
the Republicans reaped only evil and loss from
the law rs it stood at the last election, and it
can do them no good, it is believed, within the
borders of Maryland hereafter.

What are the Farmers. Thinking About 3

The following from the Raleigh IN. On .asE
eo,,ou deserves d careful reading from the
farmers of the South generally, and is ap.
nIicable to every State. The impolicy Of
raising all cotton, and no corn and meat, must
be done away with, before prosperity and 1nde-
pendence will gladden. the hearts of our peo-
pie: .,., ...-..,.,...,.-,
iust emerging, as our planters arc, from har-
vest season of pecuniary disaster, especially IN
those sections where one idea in agriculture
has prevailed, ne are interested in knowing
what train of thought our planting friends
the hardy sons of the soil-are pursuing.
Will the lords Of country unsurpassed IN
the wealth of its. soil, magnitcencs OF climate,
and its varied productions, permit the many
disasters attending their farming operations
ever since theawar to repeat themselves again,
and forever 90 on repeating, when the remedy
eff mixed husbandry is at hand, and the very
earth in its exhaustion crying out Ter toodssno
rest. as5tsa <'ss7a 3. =, -
We assert our intimate beisg founded, as az
opinion, upon observation, and the experience
Of the last six years, that there is no oprespenty
for North Carolina, until her people produce
their own meat and bread. A system Of far
ming that shall give Us meat and bread Of our
own in abundance will bring prosperity and
happiness to the State, and work an improve
ment in public and private morals. The pro
duction of grain begets stock raising. which in
turn furnishes ready facilities for improving
the soil, outside of the benefits Of rotation,
which is inseparable from system OF mixed
husbancry.,
Then follows manufacturing and mechanical
enterprises of every description, for mechanics
swarm to communities with well filled barns
and smoke houses, happy and industrious un-
der the encouragement of peace and plenty.
Without the production of pound of cotton,
the people of North. Carolina could become the
most Independent and prosperous in the world
and when they shall SO arrange their system as
to make the cotton crop surplus and indepen-
dent production, there will be no estimating
their prosperity. Then will the hills and val
legs be alive with the plow, loom and anvil ;
the clank of machinery, and the busy hum OF
spindles will never cease along our creeks and
rivers, and the saw and hammer shall awake
the dull monotony of 'the deserted, village" !"
We address ourselves to the Intelligent and
public spirit of the farming community. AYE,
we appeal to the self-interest of every farmer
of North Carolina.

How 70 Cook OLD FowLs.-For the posi-
BILE benefit to some other young housekeepers,
1 wish to tell them how to cook an old chicken.
Prepare as for roasting, then boil three hours
in covered pot, with one quart of water, to
which add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar; after
which put into pan in hot oven for about
one hour, to brown. The liquor in the pot to
be prepared for gravy should the water boil
away too much, more should be added. The
result is, the meat is rs tender as young chick
en-, and some think richer and better.

"No NIGHT THERE."-A little boy named

A TOUCHING INo1DENT-A poor little news
boy while attempting to jump from city, car,
the other afternoon, fell under the car, and was
fearfully mangled. AS soon as the child could
speak, he called piteously for his mother, and
messenger was sent at once to bring her to him.
When the bereaved woman arrived, she hung
over the dying boy in an agony of grief.
Mother" whispered he, with painful ef-
fort, ~ sold four pers-and-the money
is In my pocket"
With the hand of death upon his brow, the
last thought of the suffering child was for the
poor, hard-working mother, whose burdens he
was striving to tighten when he lost his life.

SELECTING SEED CoRN.-A farmer states
that, in the spring of 1868, he planted five rows
of corn with seed taken from three inches be-
low the top of the ear, rejecting the imperfect
grains at the extreme point; then five rows,
with seed taken from the middle and base of
the ear, rejecting the imperfect grains at the
butt. The result was that the FIVE rows plant.
ed with the seed from the middle and base OF
the ear ripened about two and half weeks be-
fore the other rows the corn Of the former
better cared, and filed out to the end of the
cob.

STIMULATING THE SIcK.-We do not mach
believe in stimulating sick folks, unless it is By
air, sunlight, rest, proper food, and healthy,
mental state Many person sick with fever
or slow, lingering disease, is stimulated out OF
the world by beef tea, brandy, champagne, am
monia, and other nostrums, when he might
have lived by good nursing and nutritious food.
They die of starvation. The blood soon be-
withheld, and, if in addition, it is loaded with
noxious drugs, its character is greatly changed,
and it becomes quite unfit to yield nourish-
ment to the tissues through which it circulates.

From Arkansas City.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kansas,


January 0. 1870.
DEAR NEws:-We are panied to hear that
yon have been suffering a little touch of the
arctic-haye been mourning over nearly foot
Of snow.
Well, we are sorry for you. Here in our
warm, tropical Arkansas Valley, we have had
no snow at all, except few scattering flakes,
that melted as they fell. Roads and weather
are lovely.
Arkansas City is growing faster than ever,
our seventy building was raised on the
9th. 1t is our new school house, built by sub
scription, 25x40 feet. We have already an ex-
cellent school, in two departments. In few
weeks more, this will be the great staging GEN.
ter Of Kansas. The consolidated line Of the
two great companies are to be at once extend
ed from Parker and Eureka to this point; the
former line 70 be pushed on up to Wichita, and
another line will speedily be extended to Fort
Sill.
Prof. Norton has for several weeks been ly-
ing severely i'll, unable to sit up or move much
of the time. The disease Is acute hepatitis.
He is slowly gaining, but will not be able to
move for some weeks. This is a great disap-
pointment to all who desired him to claim his
seat in the Legislature.
Our big new mills are being rapidly built.
The immigration is remarkable. The survey
of the lands is in progress, and we are begin
ming to know where our claims are.

We understand the arrangements for new
steam mill at this place are being perfected.
We hope the enterprising firm that have the
matter in hand will meet with all the encour-
agement the importance of the business de
mands. There is, perhaps, no enterprise in
volving an equal amount of capital that will
benefit this whole community, farmers and
all, SO much as a good mill. We see every
day teams loaded with bags going to the EN-
poria mill. Generally it requires two or more
trips TO each grist that is taken, so that it
would be great saving of time and wear and
tear Of team, harness and wagon, as we'll as Of
personal exposure, to our farmers. Then
those who are in the dairy business-and al
most every family here has one or more cows
could obtain feed for their stock more easily
and in quantities to suit their convenience.

From the fact that we did not have time to
canvass the city as fully as we desired before
writing our account OF the last years business,
some of the statements we made, as published
In the daily, Were inaccurate, the estimates Of
aggregate sales being too small in nearly every
instance. We corrected these as fully as we
could obtain more reliable figures before trans
ferring the account TO the weekly. The sales
of lumber of John Wayne & Co. were first
published as amounting to $3.50 900. ixstcad of
$3.50, 200, and on this wrong basis, from the
number Of feet Of lumber sold by other firms,
according to the reports we obtained, we cal
culated the aggregate value of $780, 900, where
As il should have been over $500, 600.

4 SERIOUS FALL.--On Tuesday evening
last about s o'clock, Mr.. }. V. Sanders, one
Of the Attorneys at law Of our city, had occas-
ion to go to the office of Peyton g. Gillett, see
ond story of Riggs, Dunlap i Cos banking
house, to affiX the seal OF the Probate Judge
to some legal papers, which he had just bro't
from the residence of Judge Peyton with his
signature. lie had stamped the papers with
the seal, and in coming out Of the side door,
he in some manner lost his balance and fell ov-
er the iron railing to the brick pavement be-
low, n distance of about eighteen feet. IL is
thought his right arm is fractured. while his
right hip and face are severely confused. He
has no of his right leg, and he fears that
there is a fracture Of the thigh ut the hip joint
The wonder is that he was not killed.
Mr.. Sanders has his office in Ruggles &
Plumb's building, the entrance to which is
similar TO that OF Peyton &c Gillett's Office, but
the platform at the top of the steps in the former
is &en with the sill. and as it wa very dark,
in coming out OF the latter, Mr.. Sanders may
have been unconscious OF the presence of 8
step, and stepping Off lost his balance and
pitched over the railing.

IMPORTANT PRoJEcT.-A company is being
formed for the purpose of exploring the bosom
OF mother earth in this locality, for coal, n
thick vein of which it is believed by those ia
miliar with the external evidences of carbon
ferrous deposits, uuderlies the city of Emporia,
and our citizens will be called upon for con-
tributions towards the expense of making the
necessary explorations. Already many of the
prominent business men have signified their
willingness TO encourage the enterprise. II a
good vein should be discovered, its worth TO
the city would be inestimable, and we have
reason TO believe that the indications warrant
the investigation. If manufactures are to be
established here, convenient supply Of coal
is important desideratum. If it should be
found under the city in sufficient quantities,
manufactures would spring up like magic.
There is world of wealth in n good vein OF
coal. How many men in the city will vote to
make thorough exploration, and second their
word with the more substantial encourage
ment Of dollars and cents!
