To The Editor of The New York Times
My wife was so pleased at the
prompt response to offer to furnish the
RECIPE for "scrapple," that she sat
down and wrote it out Immediately
after | read the requests for it by your
two correspondents, which was while
was eating an excellent breakfast,
consisting Of home made bread, coffee,
and the aforesaid scrapple. beg to
add, that whoever tries the recipe will
not get discouraged if they should
not succeed on the first attempt, as a
great deal depends on having the right
proportion of the ingredients, and in
the article being tried very brown and
crisp. EPICURE.
HOW TO MAKE sCRAPPLE.
Get young pigs head fresh)
weighing five or six pounds, which
Can be bought for twenty-five or 80
cents-"one from the country prefer
red" Clean it well, cutting off the
ears to enable you to clean them well
inside. Get the butcher to take out
the eyes and teeth when you buy it)
Put the head in two gallons and a
half of cold water. Let it boil until
the bones can be easily separated from
the meat. Chop the meat very fine,
put it back into the liquor it has been
boiled in, and season with pepper,
salt, thyme, sage and sweet marjoram.
Don't put too much of the herbs. y
Then take equal parts Of buckwheat
and corn-meal, and stir in until the
compound is about the consistency of
mush lifting it off the fire while
thickening, to preventit getting lumpy.
Then let it boil for about fifteen or
twenty minutes, stirring it to prevent
burning. Turn it into pans to cool.
Cut it into thin slices, and fry brown
as you want to use it.
The cost will be about fifty cents.
For that sum my family of five grown
persons have plenty for breakfast every
day for week.

Thursday, Feb. I, 1872.

We question whether such costly
luxury will pay, even if it can be re-
garded as "luxury." Better use the
money towards paying off the nation
al debt and relieving the people from
the oppressive taxation to which they
are now subjected. Scientific men
enough canbe found whofor thelove Of
the thing will make observations Of the
weather andreport them withou money
and without price, They are Of no
practical value to the people. This is
our view of the matter.

DID you HEAR THE news FROM MAINE

Glorious Maine! true to her past record,
true to the high character she has always
sustained as a member of the Federal
Union, true to her history when the honor
of the country is at stake, she records her
self on the side of peace, progress, law and
order. In the great roll call of States that
is to come off in November, upon which
the whole civilized world is an interested
spectator, she arrays herself under the
same great Captain, who is first in war,
first in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen." All the misrepresenta-
ton, all the abuse. all the treachery, all
the falsehood, all the political dishonesty
has failed to affect the steady sons of the
noble E" Pine Tree State" and she stands
up CALAMITY for the right. A full Republic
can delegation is sent to Congress, while
the Republican majority is one-third larg-
er than at the election last year.
Democracy in the guise of Liberal Re;
publicanism' is just as odious to the PEG.
pie of Maine as if called by any other
name. --.-,r-s ~ -
GAS Maine goes, Sc goes the Union -
October will repeat the glorious victory
achieved hy our friends in Maine, and in
November the Greeley LiberalRepubli-
can Democratic Kuklux party will sustain
defeat, that will send it into oblivion and

WHAT TENNESSEE WANTS.

What the people of Tennessee want
now, is an honest, efficient administration
of the State Government. They want
man for Governor with mind broad and
capacious enough to comprehend what is
for the best interests of the whole people,
and with courage enough to stand up for
the right, against the outside pressure
brought to bear against him by corrupt
and selfish rings. He must not only be a
man of capacity and courage, but he must
be one who can and win spurn the temp
tations that such rings may bring to bear
upon him for the purpose of influencing
bis official action.
Further, our chief Executive should be
man whose mind is not warped and con-
tracted by contemptibly narrow prejudi-
ces, that never run outsi the ruts of
partisan politics, and who aspires to moth
ing higher than to provide offices for his
political and personal friends. Our Cover
nor should have State policy, and not
confine his official life to schemes for build
ing up and perpetuating himself and his
party in Office. We ask the voters of Ten
nessee, in spirit of candor, laying aside
every prejudice growing out Of our politi-
cal relations toward Governor Brown, who
is candidate for reelection, if we have
any grounds for believing that he will
pursue course i'll the future
calculated TO build up our public
interests, that does not strictly COM
port with his ideas of the success of the
Democratic party? What has he done that
commands the esteem of those whose high.
est ambition is the public good? His adj
ministratiiaan has been perfectly barren OF
vd,e,6 results. His record is only calculated
to convince the people. of his incapacity
and his susceptibility of becoming the I'M
willing tool, or if you please, Cne VIII
ing tool, of horde of vampires VINO
would lull him into sense of setu
with honied words or golden pledges
while they would prey upon the very
life-blood of the Commonwealth
Until men can be persuaded t.
lay aside foolish political 'prejudices, en-
gendered by the passions of the late civil
war, and study their own interests, WI
may expect to remain unconscious victims
of the rapacity of rings and cliques, thu
organization of which we invite and up
hold by our apparent carelessness in refer
ence to public affairs. We write not thes
sentences as the partisan of Mr.. Freeman
or the opponent without cause of Gov
Brown; but we write them with the hop
of arresting the attention of the patriot
masses Of all parties, and inducing them t
consider what is for their interest, and 70
the interest of this Commonwealth.

THE "ToRBETT" ISSUE.

It's an interesting question for the con-
sideration of the people of this State,
whether or not they are liable for the pay |
ment of what is known as the new Is
suesn of the Bank of Tennessee. 1t is
pretty well understood, though the ques-
ton has not been generally discussed, that
these notes were issued in aid of the late
rebellion. If this can be clearly shown,
they are illegal and void under the provis-
ions of the Observation-Disclosures, which
provides that no State shall assume or pay
any debt contracted in aid of insurrection
or rebellion against the United States.
Col. A. s. Colyar, independent candidate
for Governor, took the position in speech
at Nashville, Saturday night, that this is
SO, and consequently the State is not bound
to redeem these issues. So we believe, and
SO we have no doubt, a large majority of
the honest tax payers of the State believe.
Mr.. Colyar shows by statistics how this
money was issued in aid of the rebellion.
This money is now in the hands of spec
ulators. Mr.. Colyar told of one individual
who boosted that he and his friends had
control of million dollars of it. 1t is es-
timated that there may be three millions
of it out. Now the question is, are we 60
ing to quietly submit to the insiduous de-
mands of these spectators, which may at
any time find expression in the acts of a
corrupt or imbecile Legislature, legalizing
tin some way, either by funding or by
what is worse, providing that it shall be
receivable for taxes, or win the people
speak out in time and give these specula-
tors warning that the question will be sift-
ed to its very foundation, and the facts as
certained whether this money was issued
by the authority of Legislature acting
within Constitutional limits, or by Mill
tary Board, organized in aid of insured.
ton and rebellion. We have no doubt
that it can be clearly shown that the latter
is the fact, in which case the people are
not liable for the payment of these issues
and consequently will not pay them.

ANOTHER FALsEHooD EXPOSED.

Rx-President' johnson in. his speech at
this place is reported as having said "Hoar,
of Massachusetts, was appointed Attorney
General, in consideration of the gif5 of
library, valued at $4,000" Mr.. Hoar
wrote to Mr.. johnson on the subject and
denied the allegation, since when Mr..
johnson has not repeated it, but some of
the lesser lights in the party, with more
malignance than brains or common sense,
have been keeping it up. One, General
Fitzpatrick, whose enmity towards Grant
is accounted for on the ground that he was
recalled from the Chilian Mission, for hav-
ing introduced an abandoned female in
to society there as his wife, repeat
ed it in the canvass in Vermont,
charging that it was $4,000 the Ii
brary was worth. This called forth the
following pointed denial from Mr.. Hoar,
which puts the matter at rest with all
decent men: % ~
CONCORD, August %, 1877
j. E. Tracy Windsor, Vt:
DEAR SIR There is not one word OF truth IN
the story about me which you say General Kill
patrick is repeating in Vermont. l never made
General Grant present of any kind in my life.
Whether General Fitzpatrick is worth contra
dieting you know better than 1, as know moth
ing about him, except from the newspaper re-
ports of his speeches; and if the truthfulness of
other parts of them is no greater than it is of
those of which have personal knowledge,
should think he could injure nobody's reputa-
ton. The practical difficulty with the tradu-
GERS of the President is, that as soon as one mis-
statement is exposed, they set another agoing
VINO lnvents them all cannot imagine; but
the supply seems to be unlimited, and the Gre
dnllty of the Greeley orators inexhaustible.
Ii anybody in Vermont thinks General Kill
patrick story requires any notice you are at
liberty to give it the most unqualified denial on
my part. Very truly, yours,
s.lIE&l u A5ot E. r. HOAR.
Honest men will see the character of the
charges trumped up against the President,
and will understand the motives that
prompt them. The result will be and has
already been, that his cause is made
stronger and his enemies appear weaker
and more contemplate.
