a LAST word.

Whatever promptings the white voters oil
the nation may require to induce them to do
their whole duty on the 5th Of November
next, colored men need no solicitation or
urging. All they ask is to be protected in
their efforts to vote from the violence OF
Ku-Klux assassns and other Democratic
Liberal outlaws and murderers. Our appeal
should, therefore, rather be to the Govern
ment to send sufficient force South to protect
them against repetition of the murderous
outrages which deferred them from voting in
Georgia at the recent elections. Wherever
cutthroats who compose the majority of the
Greeley party at the South they will be shot
down in cold blood, as they were at Macon
and other places, if they offer to vote the
Republican ticket. The Government, if il
has not already done so, should take prompt
measures to secure them and all other loya
voters from the murlerous crew of Greeley
assassins on the 5th Of November. If per
mitted the privilege, colored men will vote
to man, and will take much risk to exer
else that great privilege. But they will NO
and should not make the effort to vote in TIL
face of probable death. Let them make a
reasonable effort to cast their ballots as the
principles prompt them, and if prevented Il
responsibility of defeat will not rest up,
| them. It must be divided between the
who, by violence, deter them from it %
| those who do not use all the power tE
possess to protect them in their rights.

dismal howl of Ethan Allan, the following
remarkable passage occurs:
corruption grows with its own success,
and, as may be expected, let these base deeus
of the dominant party be repeated in Novem-
Der, and who shall say that the hour may not
be fast approaching when some energetic
spirit shall thunder in the willing ear OF an
outraged nation that physical resistance to
such infamy is obedience to God?'
This is rather a distinct threat of another
rebellion, unless we allow ourselves to be
inundated and bullied out of the exercise OF
our rights and duties at the ballot-bOX; I'M
less we consent meekly to surrender the prize
of our victory, in order to give our deadly
enemies for once a chance to satisfy their
ravenous hunger for power and offices. 1t
| reminds one strongly Of 1860, and is entirely
in keeping with former utterances and deeds
of the fire-eating Southern chivalry, but it
throws queer light on Mr.. Greeley, the
present representative of the Northern and
Southern Democrats and Liberals, whom we
have to hold responsible for these utteranccs,
since they do not emanate from some obscure
| fre-eater, but from the Chairman of thc
''NatiOnal @ Committee Liberal Republi-
cans" and are published in his personal or

Shortcomings Of MIR. Greeley's Per-
sOnxl OrganiSt.

We have never denied the admirable skill
and mastery workmanship displayed in the
brands manufactured by the great steam
slander-mill. They are so ingeniously in
vented, put together so nicely, and finished
up with so brilliant a varnish of plausibility,
ON the part of the reader, not to be misled
once in a while into taking this glittering and
hollow stuff for solid truth. Less dexterity,
however, the personal organ exhibits, when
it leaves the airy sphere Of sheer fiction to
seize on some established and incontroverti-
bic fact as the solid foundation for its UPPER
structure offalsehood, sophistical conclusions,
imputations, and differences. Nomatter how
neutral the ground may be, the personal
organist, in his zeal to forge weapon against
the President and the Republican party out
of every material--be it as light as a cob
web-will resort to such far-fetched arg,l-
ments, fiimsy pretenses, and arrive at such
transparently illogical conclusions, that he
fails to impose even on the dullest under
standing. One of his latest feats in this line
ID du dTtlCIc III Tic lFtUUHS VI OCtODcE lCtil,
when commenting on the hostility with which
emigration to the United States is viewed by
the Prussian Government, and its determine
ton to put obstacles in the way of the emil
grants. The rumor to this effect has been
fully confirmed by later intelligence, where
upon the organist points sneeringly at the
Presidents alleged breach of neutrality in
the French arms sale, as the sole and whole
cause of the position assumed by the Prus-
sian Government in respect to emigration,
probably in the hope of alternating few Ger
mans from the Republican party!
The organist, for reasons only known to
himself, feigns to be ridiculously ignorant
upon a point quite familiar to everybody
else-namely, that the German Emperor and
Bismarck were duly informed by our Govern
ment of tho proposed sale Of arms, and even
asked whether they objected to it or not (;
that far from taking ofiense in 1t, they did
not take the least heed of the eminently pat
riotic attempts of few American citizens to
create ill.feeling, and especially looked on
Carl Schurz-rightly or wrongly-as a mere
political BLACKBOARD and demagogue. All

A CORRESPONDENT of the Tribune is in
dignant at Mr.. Washburne's omission to in
troduce Senator Sumner to President Theirs,
and discovers in it another evidence of the
vindictive spirit and general viciousness of
the Administration men. Unless the cor
respondent has special information on the
subject, through being admitted to the conf
dence either of Mr.. Washburne or Mr.. Sum-
ner, one would think it must have occurred
to him that in all probability Mr.. Sumner, in
his inhexible bitterness against the President
and his special friends, never desired such
attention on the part of Mr.. Washburne, and
might have declined it, even if it was ten
dered to him. This, at least, is the NEST
natural explanation, and even moro prob
ably the whole intelligence is without any

ever since. OF course it is false, as it rests
on the mere assertion of Gov. Hartranft's
INSCRIPTIONS enemies. We regret to see
therefore, that the Chronicle of this city has
accepted the charge as proved, and bases a
moral lecture TO the Republican party upon
the ipse drt Of professional libelers and
falsifers. Even if it be true that now and
then scamp represented a legal voter, and
voted frauduIentiy in his name, what has the
Republican PARTY to do with that? There
were undoubtedly quite as many Of these
frauds perpetratcd by Democrats as by Re-
PHblicans. We think Republican editors
should wait for better proof than the testi-
mony OF the Press before arraigning their
own party Of wholesale election frauds.

Attempt To Murder Honorable III.
M. Turner.

4 few days previous TO the election Mr..
Turner went to Clinch county to speak. He
stopped at LaWton TO wait for the cars.
The Greeley reformers soon ascertained that
he was at the depot and Immediately took
stems to "reoncile" the I'D Radical
niger" Mr.. Turner was informed of his
danger and concealed himself in the woods
near the depot. 1t being dark the Reform
ers" were unable TO find him. a large crowd
of armed men concealed themselves near the
depot to await his return. AS the train
approached the depot, Mr.. Turner came from
his hiding place. As he approached the
cars the crowd rushed upon him and he barely
escaped from them and entered the cars.
They surrounded the cars, some entering.
He escaped into the mail car and was locked
in. Before the ruflians could get to him the
cars started and left the Greeleyites cursing
the I'D Radical niger" and swearing
that he should not speak in that county.
Thus we clasp hands across the bloody chasm.

Deep Flowing for Corn.

S. J. Wooley, of Hilliard, Ohio, writes
to the Cleveland Farmer as follows:
There is much difference of opinion in
regard to the depth that land should be
plowed for corn, and the reason for this
difference of opinion is that some do not
pillow their land in the proper manner. l
have experimental very much on this
subject. and am satisfied that land plowed
from ten to twelve inches deep will pro-
duce from one-fourth to one-half more
than the same land plowed only one
half that depth, and the longer you follow
up deep blowing the better the result will
be. However, it will not do to plow land
the first year very deep that has always
been cultivated shallow. Such manage
ment would be a failure; you may pillow
from two to three inches deeper every wear
until you get the desired depth,
L have produced the best crops by turn
ing the land not less than ten inches deep
and subsoiling. This leaves a surface of
from fifteen to twenty inches deep how
the land is underdrained, for the roots of
no kind of grain will go deeper than
where the water stands. / notice that
corn raised on deep plowed land matured
about as early us that on the land that was
plowed shallow but the blades kept green
about two weeks longer. Not only the
pleasure and the profit of raising a large
crop, but the land will wear twice as long
when cultivated very deep. L have sever
al fields that L have rented out for eight
years in succession, they have been cult
waited very shallow, for the first few years
they produced corn apparently equal to
the deep plowed land; this land is all un-
derdrained with tile alike; no manure has
been added to either, and the deep plowed
land has been producing better crops every
year, while the shallow plowed land has
been producing less every year. The diff
| ference was more noticeable the last two
years, it being very dry. 1t will not do to
pillow some soils as deep as 1 have spoken
of without adding plenty of manure.

Old Farm Horses.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
says: 1t is common practice in this
country TO make old horses break the colts
and too often work with them for years.
1t is hard for an old horse to work with q
colt or young active horse. Old horses,
like old men, are often capable of perform
ing more hard work than some young
ones who can beat them for an hour or
more. The old man wants to take mod
crate job and can hold out all day; but n
little immoderate exertion for few
minutes unstring him perhaps for all day.
An old horse driven at the top of his speed
spoils the days journey, When once
made sore or strained, the result is stiffness
the next day. The old horse should not
haul his load to town and then be forced
to trot back. 1t does not injure him as
much to do the heavy with slow motion as
to do the light jobs at a fast gait. Again,
the old horse requires more time to eat his
meals and rest his nerves. OF all animals
the old horse is the worst abused. AL
though he has been our most faithful and
profitable servant, yet in his old age the
lash is applied to force out his youthful
vigor. The older he grows the more he
feels the lash. He is often turned out of
doors to give place to the colts. All these
things are inhuman and shameful.

Pruning in June.

Correspondence Of the N. y. SUM-
In your issue of February 14th L no
ticed two correspondents, asking for infor-
nation as TO the best time for pruning
fruit trees, and ID. w. N, of Cedar Hill
\. j., asserting that spring was the best
time, as he had always practiced it at that
time, and his trees had done we'll. L have
been engaged in cultivating fruit trees for
the past twenty years, and have pruned
apple and pear trees in every month of the
year. If L could always have the time to
spare. would prefer to prune in the
month Of June, for the following reasons:
First, the wound made by the removal of
branch at this season will heal sooner
than one made at any other time of the
year. Second, very few water sprouts will
grow after pruning, and the fruit which
remains will be much larger in conse-
quence. Any person who is at all ac-
quainted with the management of fruit
| trees, knows that if tree is barked in
| June the wound will heal in very short
time. To prune in June, persons should
wear rubber or other soft shoes to prevent
barking the branches. My reasons for
not pruning in the spring are, we general
~ have high winds and copious showers,
the winds dry and crack the new wound
and the rain enters and blackens it,which
II does not do in June. Water sprouts
Will also grow, which will have to be
trimmed off every season. You suggest
covering the wound with paint or wax;
but every farmer does not always have
these materials at hand, and in June he
does not need them. S, DEVENE.
