A Card.

Mr. EDITOR: Nh. Wilcox, President OF the
Agreuitral and Mechanical Association. in
caro- published in your last issue. made
some statements in regard to the purchase OF
some property from Mr.. Daugherty and my
sell: which are incorrect and misrepresented
me IN That transaction. The only condition
oil the sale to which the Directors objected,
was that the grounds should never be used
LOT the purpose of horse or other racing. "
All else is a Misrepresentation. Ifthe Direc-
tors had come TO me for information they
might have; saved themselves from being led
into mistakes by street rumors. Ii they will
publish the conditions as furnished them by
me. the public can form their own opinion.
will only add, that Mr.. Daugherty and my
self acted in full accord in the whole trans
action. CUAS. L, HARVEY

The Libel Suit.

As will be seen, by reference to the
proceedings in the Federal Court yester-
day, the libel suit of Gen John MELON.
aid, supervisor OF internal revenue for
this district against Messrs. Woodruff Il
Blocher, former proprietors of the Ga
zette, claiming damages in the sum OF
thirty thousand dollars, was closed, and
the plaintiff gained verdict for one aol
Tar The article upon which the suit was
based was published as matter of news
and with no malicious intention of iniur-
ing Gen Mcdonald, as was stated by
Major Woodruff on the stand. Speaking
for the Gazette, now, we reiterate wha,
was stated by our former editor Gen
Mcdonald was unknown to the editors
and proprietors of the Gazette at the
time the publication was made. and con
quently they could not have had any feel
ing in the matter. After Gen Mcdonald
instituted his suit, an article appeared in
this paper stating that we did not care
one continental dime" whether the state
ments contained in Major Boudinots
communication were true or not, nor do
we now. We publish newspaper, and
of course, in clipping the hundreds of
articles that appear daily, cannot know
the truth or ofeverything published. The
reader is expected to draw his own con
clusions as to these matters. The Ca
zettc has never shirked any responsible
ity for anything stated by it as being
true
In reference to Gen. McDonald's case
the Gazette had no malice then or now
1t cares nothing about him, more than
any other public Official whose acts are
just subjects Of criticism 1t has invaria-
bic made it a rule, when publishing arti-
cles rejecting on any man, to give him
the benefit of a reply through the same
channel. Had Gen Mcdonald applied
for that purpose his reply would have
been cheorfully inserted. But he chose
not to reply-but passing by the author
Of the article, and the first publisher of
it, he institutes a suit, on speculation
against the former proprietors of this pa
per, as parties who were not only finan-
cially responsible, but whose punishment
in heavy damages would suit all
around. " If he is satisfied with the re
suit the defendants certainly must be.
The defendants have reason to feel
grateful to eircounsel, Messrs English,
Garland and Rose, for their efficient ser
vices in conducting the defense; and we
can only add that the public at large feel
that the verdict, really and in truth, as
well as in law, covered the case.
We are happy to testify TO the fact that
both the prosecution and defense were
conducted in digniied manner. and the
trial throughout reflected credit on the
court, the counsel and the jury. The
charge of Judge Dillon, which we publish
in full, is pronounced by all as an exceed
ingly able, and we take pleasure in call
ing attention to 1t az embracing q thor
ough and complete exposition Of the law
on the subject ct--Gdseue.

Removal Of Disabilities.
&c Cincinnati Enquirer.

rom the cincinnati Enquirer
Although Grant and other old bourbon
radical leaders stand out steadily against re-
moving the disabilities which, at q time Ct
heat and revengeful passions, were imposed
on the people of the south by their conquer.
ors of the north, the feeling is steadily and
constantly increasing in favor of their re-
moval. At the late election in Missouri an
amendment to the constitution, allow ing the
old confederates to vote and hold office was
carried by over 100000 majority There
date for governor, and yet only 10000 to re.
tain these relics of bigotry and oppression
Reconstructed Tennessee, West Virginia and
North Carolina have purged their statute
books of them. la North Carolina lately a
resolution was offered in the house of repre-
sentatives requesting the delegation in con-
grcss from the state to use their influence in
favor Of general amnesty and repeal Of the
| test-oath, and it received IS votes 10 the az
| frmative to Is in the negative. OF these 10
were negroes, who, having no right to vote and
hold Office, we're anxious to deprive white men
Of talent, wealth and responsibility from hav.
ing the same privilege. But of the white
radicals large nurbe- voted for the resolu.
ton. In congress it will not be carried =.
present, but the movement, gaining additional
momentum and pressure a. il advances, will
ere long sweep every disability away. and
with it the parti.ans who connect their poli,i
cal fortune. with their perpetuity.

In selling STOCK by live weight, it is good
plan to feed each one about three pals of wat
er, and what ether stuff he can get down
'em just before driving on the scales. If the
buyer has ever invested much money on
Change, he will know what "wstered stock"
means.
In holding the plow, always prefer 10 hold
ii in the house, seated in rocking chair with
my family clustered around me.
In planting hay, always plant the longest
can find. as short hay always bends per-
sons back too much in cutting it
In the matter Of wheat, always raise it by
the barrel, at = mill not far away, as it saves
buying seed, blowing sowing, grading, and
threshing. generally raise it on a note
In travelling through the country have
often noticed that farmers do not sufficie ntly
regard the health of thsir animals Ny barn
is arranged on plan of my own. 1t is open
on all sides, SO thst no creature may have to
stand out in storm because l nm asleep or
away This also saves lumber All around
the barn are benches on which any animal
can sit down when waiting for something or
other to turn up. The sheriff says my cattle
always sell when my neighbors' don't, and he
thinks it is oil owing to my economy, and |
do not doubt it.
In subsoiling piece Of ground, l always
plant mortgage on it in the winter previ-
Gus. 1t raises the biggest kind Of a crop, es-
pecially when you let the interest go behind.
l hardly ever knew such sowing that didn't
turn out full as we'll a, the holder expected.
In raising hogs, l think that many farmers
are altogether too slack for their interests
Now suppose that | want to raise hog, / go
at 1t IN careful scientific way. good
many farmers raise their hogs with the frst
club that comes handy, bu, this HIS ten len
cy to make the animal discouraged AID dis
contented.
have my own IDEAS about training horses
If ever l get hold of a horse inclined to run
away, always borrow buggy of some Of ny
ncighbors, put him to it, turn him into a lot,
and let him run. He generally gets sick of
the fun by the time the buggy is gone, but if
he don't, hitch him to any of tie wheels that
may be left and keep him travelling The
owner of the buggy always expresses astonish-
ment at my system, but the evidence of its
success is there before him, and he cannot dis
pute the pieces.
If ever get hold of kicking COW, nlw,vs
let Mrs. Ouaid sit down first to milk, and
take my station by her to see what foot the
animal kicks with. and how hard she hits. !
My wife has a remarkably clear memory, and
after coming to, she can generally give me
any little particulars which l failed to note, !
owing to distance. then get the COW into !
the stable, drag her up with windlass, until
she is just evenly balanced Then | get 4
bag and fill it with bricks, hang it with n
easy kicking distance, and stand off for de-
velopments Every time she comes down. she
hits the bricks, and when she goes up have
another thing to apply to her in front, and
after she hn, gone through with this oscili-
ton two or three times she never kicks any
more, at least not until she looks around for
bricks.
