Breaking Colts.

When the colt is a few weeks old he has
q comfortable head-stall put on his head
and left there until he has become perfect
ly familiar with it. He is then taken hold
of gently (but not teased or petted) and
given to understand that he is fast but is
not going to be hurt. He soon learns to be
fond of being handled, and is easily taught
to be led wherever desired. This kind of
treatment is continued up to weaving time,
when he is carefully tied by the side of the
mother, and as they can see each other
there is little or no fretting done; the mare
is soon dried up, and the colt which has
not been leased nor taught any foolish
tricks such as biting and kicking, goes
into winterquarters quiet and easily attend
ed to. After this, up to the time he is
three years old, be is let runIn pasture dur
ing the summer season, and in wet days
brought to the stable, haltered and his legs
handled, his feet picked up as for shoeing,
and in winter he is haltered in the stable
at night and turned out during the day.
After he is two years old he is accustomed
to the saddle and harness, which is done
on wet days, and by the time he is ready to
60 to work he has become accustomed to
the things he would so much dread were
he let run wild. Out of all the colts we
have thus raised we have never had a kick
er, banker, or a runaway. l feel very cor
fident that had we let all the colts we have
broken, run until they were three or four
years old, we would have to put up with
some severe knocks before we could con-
vince them they were in the hands of those
more powerful than they. To handle a
colt or heifer so as to make them pleasant
to work with when they arrive at the age
of maturity, does not go to prove that they
must be petted and made fools of. l had
heifer come in this spring, and when 1
wanted to milk her took bucket and
went to the field where she was and MIXED
her without her moving once. If she had
been let run wild to calving, the probabili-
ties are that after calling in one or more to
help catch her as the saying is, would have
been able, after beng knocked about for
some time, to milk her. We handle our
stock of all kinds when young, the same
as the colt, and find it saves great many
hard knocks.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

GETTING RID OF RoCKs.-We have
noticed very often, in going about the coun-
try, great amount of labor expended in
digging out large stones and dragging them
to the surface, where they lie a greater
nuisance if possible, than when they were
partly buried in the soil. If different
mode of treatment had been followed, they
might have been neatly and permanently
disposed of. Instead of being brought to
the surface, they should have been buried
out of sight. Had a hole sufficiently large
been dug close to the rock the removal of
which was desirable, and underming it, a
simple overwhelming with crowbar or
handspike would have tumbled it therein,
and it might then have been covered up
and forever gotten rid Of In this way an
acre of ground can be easily cleared of
large stones in a very short time, and the
unsightly appearance of fence corners oc-
cupied by them avoided.

Congress assemblies Monday, and the
work Of mischief win probably be begun at
an early day. The first bill on the Senate
calendar is Mr.. Summers supplementary
civil rights bill, and was introduced on the
9th of March last. This bill declares that
all citizens Of the United States, without
distinction Of race, color, ETC., are entitled
to the equal and impartial enjoyment of any
accommodation, advantage, priority, or
privilege, furnished by common carriers,
whether on land or water; by innkeepers;
by licensed owners, managers, or lessees of
theatres or other places of public amuse-
ment; by trustees, commissioners, superin-
tendents, teachers, or other officers of com
mon schools and other public institutions of
learning, the, same being supported or
authorized BY law; by trustees or officers of
church organizations, cemetery associations,
and benevolent institutions, incorporate by
national or State authority; and that their
rights shall not be denied or abridged OH any
pretence of color, etc. The bill also pro-
vides the machinery for enforcing its provis-
ions, and contains paragraph securing to
all citizens an equal rightto serve on juries.
1t is Mr.. Summers purpose to call up this
bill at an early day,and push it to passage
as speedily as possible.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Herald, writing from South Carolina, gives
an interesting and accurate analysis Of the
negro vote in the prescribed counties, with
the design of discovering thereby to what
extent the alleged intimidation of negro
voters had actually been carried on.
He compares the records Of 1868, and
1870 infinitely and thoroughly, and the
result shows beyond cavil that the charge
of intimidation is wholly false. On
the contrary, the returns prove that gross
frauds were perpetrated by the Radicals. In
Spartanburg county, which was carried by
the Democrats, an attempt was made TO
throw the Democretic candidates into the
minority, by cQEnting out a sufficient num-
Der of anti-Radical precincts. The rougues
were detected and when rebuked for their
rsseality, one of them, a trial justice named
Fleming, replied that he had been instructed
by the State canvasSers at Columbia 10 re-
turn the Radical candidates elected, at all
hazards.

TWEED AND GRANT.

There are other and greater rascalS in
Office than William NJ. Tweed. 4 man by
the name of Grant holds the most exalted
position in the bestowd Of the American
people. He is known as a taker Of gifts from
applicants forH ,ffice under his administra
ton. He is known to be guilty of the
odious political crime ofnepotism having con-
felreJ numerous offices upon his near rela-
tives and created a family dynasty Of Office
holders. He is known to have usuTped
the powers Of the Federal Legislature in
!eyying war against foreign country with
which the United States are at peace, in
the case Of his armed intervention in the
affairs of San Domingo. He is known TO
Lave held stock in corporation which was
given a profitable contract by the Federal
Government. He is known to have been con-
ncc;ed with Jay Gould, the prince of stock
can blers, in financial transactions the sue
cess of which depended on knowledge Of
the secrets of the Treasury Department. He
is known to have been as poor as achurch
mouse before he became President, but to
have since amassed a million Of dollars on
salary of twenty-five thousand year.
What say the pious gentlemen Of the RadI-
cal party who make broad their phylacterics
and utter loud prayers in the market-Place
for salvation from Tammany, TO the record
of this man? Who among them all will step
forth and say TO this national Tweed, as
the Democracy said to that one of New
York, "Away! away. your touch is polIu-
ton" There are, moreover, the carpet-bag
Governors and legislatures Of the South, by
whom more than two hundred millions
Of dollars have been stolen from the de
voted PEOPLE of that section Of the Union.
The corTuptly obtained riches of Tweed
are a mere bagatelle compared with
tie gigantic SUNS OF which the taXpay-
ars of the Southern States have been
numbered by the officials set over them m-
der the auspices of the Radical party. Is
there nothing in these monstrous official
rgbl,oriss 70 Drick the tender conscience of
Hose scrupulously honest people who throw
,,p their hats and shout in the downfall Of
Tommanv, One thing is certain; the Radi
cal party is defiIcd as 10 its head 10y The
foul practices Of Grant, polluted at to It's
whole body by the deialcations, frauds
,,indles and thefls ofthe army Of officials
whichit has given the country. How can this
mass Of corruption, this party fostering with
purifying sores, expect to cope with the
purified and rejuvenated Democracy, when
an elightened and incoruptibe public sen
timent applies to it the same rule under
which the New York ring has just been
DESTROYED forever?

IIE POLICY OF REVENGE TOWARD
THE SOUTH.

Gen. Sherman has taken several occasions
to express his dissent from the policy adopt
ed and pursued by Congress toward the
Southern States. A correspondent of the
Boston Transcript says that Gen. Sherman,
in conversation at the Astor House, New
York, the night before his departure for
Europe, said he believed the government
had made a serious mistake in its treatment
Of the South, that he was of the opinion
that a wise policy toward that portion of the
country would, ere this, have resulted in a
pacifcation and general good. He is re-
ported by this correspondent to have said:
"They are not all rascals in the South. 4
majority of the people are the best citizens
of the republic. The young men that fol-
lowed the retreatinC COnfedera'es in Tex
Is, the men Of the Army Of Virginia, and
the lads of the West went with the South,
were capital fellows thOggh mistaken.
These. in my opinion, should have been
appointed to positions under the Govern
ment, as marshals, postmasters, internal
revenue collectors and 10 other Federal and
State offices, instead of being driven into
opposition. | really believe that these
Young men represented the South, and that
they were ready to cry peccdci, and support
the Government. | am sOrTy they were
not treated properly, but, it viii be right in
the end.'
But a Radical Congress pursued
course directly the reverse. The policy
was one of revenge and hate. Amnesty
was denied. This was just the plan TO let
in the carpet-baggerS and scalawags. The
decent men-the men of brains and respect
ability-were denied participation in the
government. The carpet-bagyers took pos
session. and the result is the bankrupt con-
dition of nearly every Southern State,
Taxes have been increased and the debt
piled up to such an enormous amount that
reputation is threatened in several Of them.
Even in South Carolina, where the Radicals
have carried everything before them, repu-
diation is boldly talked Of by the negro
members of the Legislature. All this is at
tributable to the Radical Congressional
policy Of revenge and hate
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-12-02

The New Albany Ledger says: 1--WE
sometimes hear Radicals howl out their
congratulations upon what they conceive to
be the death Of the Democratic party,
contamination to them most devoutly
wished, and we sometimes hear of Demo-
Gratis who believe the Democratic party is
powerless for good, now or in the future.
We are not of that class, nor viii our friends
believe such stuff, if they will but stop and
consider the position the party occupies.
Its defeat in 1860 was due to dissensions in
its own ranks, and not from a want of
numerical force to have overwhelmed
the common enemy, had both wings
OF the party been united as they
should have been. Since that time the
whole country has been under the control
of despotism that is a disgrace to the very
name of republicanism. But with all this
fearful odds against it, the Democratic
party has always been power in the land,
holding its opponents from rushing into I'M
bridled despotism by threatening them with
powerful organization; an organization
which could always receive recruits sufficient
from the honest men in the ranks of the
opposition if it dared to take the premedi-
tated step of crushing out the liberties of
the people. The most astounding stupefac.
ton has seized upon the people,
or long since their eyes would have
been opened to the innovations
and infractions ofthe Constitution by the
revolutionary organization known as Radi-
caliSm. The country has witnessed, within
few years, the most unmistakable evil
dences on the part of the party in power to
lord it over the States and the people, and
that party has also exhibited spirit of in
tolerance and misrepresentation toward its
opponents, such as can alone come from
those who are determined to crush out all
opposition, that they may the more easily
subvert the free institutions guaranteed to
the people under the Constitution. We
have witnessed, too, the corruption it has
infused in the affairs of the States and the
General Government, and the fearful
velocity with which it has been plung-
ing the country into a gulf of ruin. The
derided Democratic party has been the
means of checking the corrupting influences
of the Radical leaders, which all good men
must have deplored. With all the power Of
the present corrupt administration directed
against it, aided by the military power in the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS President, the
Democratic party has been enabled to MAIN
tain its organization and present an unbrok-
en- front, with vastly increased numerical
strength. When the people are fully arouS-
ed, we do not despair witnessing the most
complete overthrow of the Radical party,
that has ever been the fate of the opponents
Of the Democracy"
In support Of the position of our New Al
bany contemporary, we here present table
showing the strength of the Democratic
party at each Presidential election since and

HTHE DIFFICULTY WITH SPAIN.

As our readers have already been in
formed by Geographic accounts in these
columns from Washington, the outrages on
American citizens in Cuba have at length
eliminated in the massacre of eight medi-
cal students in Havana by the Spanish vol
have not reached US. Only the fact that
hey were murdered by the volunteers for
having de5ecrated the grave Of Gonzalo
Castanon. the late editor ofVhe FOZ De
Cube, the organ of the volunteers. Cas-
tanon lost his life on American soil in
duel provoked by himself, and his body had
been inferred in Hayanawith military honors.
When, therefore, his grave was demolished
by a reckless crowd of boys who were
American citizens, the act was regarded
as one Of political significance.
The hot Spanish blood and revenge
full natures Of the volunteers were aroused,
and summary punishment was inflicted on
the students. a court martial was con-
vened at O'Clock on last Tuesday after
noon. Eight of the offenders who were found
most guilty were sentenced to be shot at i
O'Clock on the same afternoon, and the exc
cutiOn was vigorously carried out at the
specified time. All the rest of the students
were imprisoned in the Penitentiary for
terms of four and six years.
When the account Of this terrible outrage
reached Washington, prompt measures
were taken for the protection Of our citizens
in Cuba. A feet of war vessels, consisting
Of the Nipsic, the Kansas, the Terror, and
the Shawmut, were at once ordered to
Havana. The Severn, now at New York as
sisting in the reception of Alexis, will be sent
out to Join the fleet, and other vessels will
he dispatched to join them as soon as pos
sible. The commander, Admiral Lee, has
received instructions to demand immediate
reparation for Outrages on American citi-
, zens by Spanish troops, from the officer in
command at Havana, and in case Of
failure on his part TO comply, to open the
guns of the fleet on the city. A more peace
ful solution of the difficulty, however, is
ooked,for. 1t is humiliating fact that our
naval force in the West Indies, or any force
that we could send there for some time TO
come, is far inferior to the powerful Span
ish feet at present cruising in Cuban
waters No doubt, it is a knowledge of
this fact, coupled with The lenient policy
which the American Government has of
late pursued toward Spain, that leads the
Spaniar,ls to commit Che outrages on our
citizens which we hear of from time TO
time. The occasion has come, now, when
prompt and decisive action on the part of
our Government is demanded, if we are
ever TO hear the last of these ever recurring
Cuban outrages. If the Spanish Govern

This table gives evidence that the Demo
cratic party has shown remarkable thrift,
and at no time more so than in the last
Presidential contest, when there was an
increased Democratic vote over the cleo
ton in 1864 of near a half million
voters. But it must be remem-
bered that the States Of Mis-
sissippi, Texas, and Virginia, were not al
lowed to vote at all, while the vote of Flori
ia was cast by the Legislature of that State.
In addition to this, there were several hun
bred thousand of the best citizens in the
Southern and border States who were dis
franchised. In Tennessee alone there were
at least 100000. 1t is, therefore, safe TO
say that there are 100000 to 100000 more
Democratic voters in the South to-day than
were allowed TO vote in 1868. This gives
us, on the basis of the election Of 1865,
more than 100000 Democratic voters in
the United States, even if there has been no
increase of our strength in the Northern
States since that time. That is a formida-
bic array for dead or even a powerless,
party to present.
