Saratoga Correspondence of the New York Com

This morning Mr.. Corey and another
good old Baptist minister were sitting on
the balcony looking at the swell turn
outs The Doctor, who has an eye for
horsefesh, was watching couple of
dashing tandem teams, while his brother
minister was moralizing over the sins
of this gay ana fashionable world. just
as two spans dashed by with light and
airy buggies, followed by the SWEETEST
dog-cart tandem in Saratoga, the rever-
end brother remarked religiously, as he
drew long sigh: Brother Corey. alas

err replied DIR. Corey, taking off his
eyeglasses, ''but I'll bet you an x that
I've got span of fast mares in New
York that can dust anything you see
here, except the Commodore !" Broth
er Jones only rooped his head upon his
hands and drew a sigh which could only
come from crushed and broken heart.

temperature of the room has also pow

quire more than if cool. There are two
very essential things relating to house
culture of plants, which should not be
overlooked.
First, never apply cold water from a
clstern or well, bat let it be somewhere
near the temperature of the sir ia which
the plants are grown. Very cold water
is sure to check the growth of plants ::
second, when the plants are watered give
the soil in the pots good soaking, and
then omit watering them again until the
soil shows that il is needed A little at

the practice with the novice If house
plants are infested with the green ffy,
place them In deep box, and then pat
few live Goals into on earthen or metal
dish, and throw a handful of tine-cut to-
bacco upon them. The box should then
be covered up tightly, in order to confine
the smoke about the plants. Allow the
plants to remain In the box two or three
hours then take them out. and syringe
the limbs and stems with clear, tepid
water. Repeat this operation as often
as the green fly appears, if you desire
healthy plants.

governor VANCE RALLYING THE
KU-KLUx.-At Louisburg Governor
Vance said that he would sooner
be the meanest Ku-klux in hell or rot
ting in the penitentiary than to be one of
the prosecutors or the judge who tried
them.
''He further adv ertised his Democra-
tic friends that the best way to succeed
in the coming election was by kicking
out the Republicans and cause them to
fear them. He was asked by Republi.

He said, mot at all. +"
We clip the above from the Carolina
Era. Governor Vance evidently inten-
ded to incite his hearers to violence as q
means of carrying this election-by which
means the Democracy succeeded SO well

Some men are controlled by circum-
stances-are what circumstances make
them to be, Other men rise superior to
ircpnstances-they make circumstances:
They posses force and energy, sort OF
inspiration, that from the first to the
last carries them over all obstacles.
We find them wrestling with adverse
things and overmasterlng them; dlf1lcnitles
accumulate and they overcome them; 1 hey
grow stronger under the stern discipline OF

dimensions of Senates, equal to the most
important crisis, and standing forth. as
by intuition, in the character OF pubilc
statesmen. They are great without

the judicial bench, the Senate. the bead
Of the army, the Presidential char, are
not the causes nor the sources OF thelr
greatness but they go up to them De
cause they are already great, ana thus

vice and renown. Webster was one
of this class of men, Stephen A. Doug
las another, and Abraham Lincoln an
other.
In many respects quite unlike the men
whose names we have mentioned, as they
were unlike each other, and yet worthy
to be classed with them, is the man
whose name We have written at the head
of this article. Intellectually, he may
not have attained their altitude, and yet
| while he does net fall far below them in
this regard, he possesses far greater
breadth and purity of character, and his
| familiarity with matters of State. his
broad and liberal views upon subjects OF
| national policy, we believe him the
equal of these men. He is one of the
| most faithful of our public servants His
| integrity in Office has never been I'M
| peached-he has never sacrificed his
| manhood at the shrine of political
''rings"-has never allowed his loyalty
to party to abate one jot from the great
| love he bears his country and It's tree IN
situations. Undoubtedly he is an ambl-
tious man, but not ambitious as mere
politician, as seeker after place, as the
leader of party, looking only to party
triumphs and party spolls.
It is but just to say of the distinguish
| ed Senator, that no man Of them all Is
| held in higher esteem by his associates In
office-that to no other on the floor OF
the United States do they listen with
more respectful attention. They know
that they are listening to sincere man
who will utter only his honest convic
tons, who has no buncombe speeches te
make, and would not advocate an unjust
or corrupt measure FOR house-full O
gold. Wisconsin ought to be and /.
proud of him, and will, we have not {
doubt, honor herself by continuing him
in the position he so worthily tills.-

How THEY ARE To Do IT.-Frank
Blair, Jr,. in his Broadhead letter of
1868, said
'There is but one way to restore the Government
and the Constitutions and that is for the President
elect to declare these acts he reconstruction acts
null and avoid, compeli the army to undo its usur-
patton at the South, dispense the carpetbag State
Governments, allow the white people t. reorganize
their government, and elect Senators and Re-
personalities"
That was Blair idea then, and the
same thing was entertained by many of
the Southern leaders. But to make it
more binding" we quote the following
paragraph, written by Horace Greeley
to the Tribune, while on his tour through
the South, in June, 1871:
''They propose to the fight but not with
guns and sabers They expect to gain Democrats
through elections, the poacer tteg tosi rebels through
the todr''
There's frankness for you. 1t is true,

before he had any idea of running for
President, but ism t it absolutely true p

CHINESE SLAVE TRApE.-John M. Cogh-
Ian, member of Congress from the third dis.
trict in this State, has sent us his printed
speech on a bill for the suppression of the
Chinese Slave trade in the United States,
The speech is an able one, and shows re-
search and practical knowledge of this loath-
some and demoralizng Chinese slavery in
California. We can and do indorse Cogh-
lans speeches on this cooleyism, but when he
denounces it he also denounces his own party.
In this he is inconsistant and should leave
the Grant faction if he speaks his honest
sentiments.
