hoped that the Republican party will
not disturb his retirement il is al
ready burdened with too many of his
kind.
Governor Reed, of Florida, has been
acquitted by the Senate, sitting as a
court of Impeachment. This is a singu-
lar result, considering that the House OF
Representatives voted unanimously to
impeach him, and the bad reputation
that he has.
"This led to a general discussion rela-
tive to the Irish vote. Mr.. Greeley
thought the Irish were friendly to him,
and the rest stoutly maintained the
same proposition. As IL 20 confirm il.
Major COnyngham, the Irish editor of a
Democratic newspaper, entered and ten
dered his congratulations with the rest. "
Andrew johnson on Thursday filed
his claim for the Tefunding Of in

amounting TO four thousand six HUNDRED
and ninety-four dollars and siXty-siX
cents. The entire amount received by
Andrew for services rendered as Presi-
dent was ninety-seYen thousand and
twenty-five dollars and thirty-four
cents.

THEGATHERrNG TEN PEST AT NASH

Ii seems that Messrs. FoOte, Fowler.
and COllyer, the 5aRper-bearers of Re
~publicanism in Tennessee have changed
their purpose, as announced at Cincin-
matt. and determined to have no confer

at Nashville. Such,' substantially, was
the statement contaiEed IN Wednesday,

course, andi il was understood that a Re

the Democratic Convention, the assur-
nee being given that the Republicans
would have a full and fair representa-

Il. 1t seems that this arrange

the republican leaders, and Foote,
Fowler, Collyer, and the Banner
demand a monopoly OF the hOnors to be
distributed by the reformers. While the

THE LowERY OUTLAWS Of North Car
olina, because of their color, we presume,
excite no interest in the breast Of the
charming administration. Murders and
robberies are constantly perpetrated by
the Villains, and yet Colonel Shannon
and other peaceable citizens of Missis-
sippi, and Others of like character in
South Carolina, utterly incapable Of the
commission of crime, are constantly
seized and i~ncarceated by the dirty
minions of the despOtic President. A
beastly despot reigns, American freedom
is extinguished in American States, and
vet there are those who hesitate upon
bubbles of partisanship when 1t Is pro-

patriotism is mquestiOned, in prefer
ence to the whisky-head of the White

To begin. we will state that the true
cotton army-worm has six front feet,
two anal and eight ventral7sixteen IN
aII-the two foremost of the ventral be-
ing very small, and having no apparent
office to fill in the movements Of the in
sect: while the feet of the grass worm.
same in number-are all perfectly
formed, and all come into use when the
animal is moving from place to place.
The cotton army-worm bends itself up
in order to walk, something after the
manner Of the span or measuring worm,
while the grass worm moves smoothly
along, simply by the action OF its feet
When disturbed, the cotton army-worm
has a habit of doubling itself up sudden
" and springing some considerable dis
lance, whereas the grass worm simply
rolls itself up and remains mOtionless.
When about to change, the army-worm
spins for itself a loose cocoon or web in
side a eurled leaf, still hanging upon the
plant. as before intimated, while the
grass worm goes directly into the ground
without having first spun any web
whatever.
These marked characteristics will GER
tainTy enable any one to tell the two
Uernls apart. The moths do not so
closely resemble each other. The reader
already knows the color of the army
worm-moth-that of the grass-worm-
moth, an insect of about the same size
and shape, is grayish brown, clouded
and barred with alternate light and dark
shades. One marked ~peculiarity of the
army-worm-moth lies in the fact that
while at rest it invariably sits with its
head downward-cannOt be made to sit
In any other position for a single mo-
ment. The moth of the grass worm
sits with its head upward, or just as it
happens to alight.
As vet two remedies have been found
that seem to work any great good to-
ward checking the ravages of the cotton
armv-worm. The first Of these is to
hand-pick the plants, a very reliable
remedy, but hardly practicable where
cotton il grown OH a large scale. The
second is to place little fires or lamps on
low posts about over the patch during
the seasons when the moths are flying
say the last of May or the early part
of June, or the late part of July, and
from the first to the middle of Septem-
Der. The lights attract them, and, true
to the nature of all nocturnal moths,
large numbers of them fly into the fires
and are destroyed eforedepositing their
eggs.

IRON is fifty per cent. higher than II
was twelve months ago, and in some
classes shows an even greater advance.
To show how it works in the trade, one
of the leading iron houses in Chicago
finds its loss by the great fire increased
nearly one hundred thousand dollars by
the enhancement of its stock not re-
placed. This rise in figures will tell
heavily against all the feebler new rail-
road undertakings, Of which there are
many in the country. 1t will also dis
criminate to the disfavOr of the use OF
iron in building. But in this increase
of prices the large advantage will be
gained of an immense stimulation OF the
iron-working industry. Every furnace
will be in full blast, and the mills will
run night and day. Out Of this activity
will colne larger producing facilities,
the realization Of better processes, and
altogether a general enhancement of the
iron interest throughout the country.

If there is anything which Mr.. Gree
ley has always especially abhOrred, it is
the running off by the people after
SOLDIERS INSTEAD OF STATESMEN
for the Presidency. He refused to sup
port General Taylor, the candidate of
his party, until the eleventh hour, and
even then only did 50 under protest.
When in Europe, IN 1851, he spoke thus
of the coming Presidential election in
France: "And if, passing over the mob
of generals and politicians by trade, the
choice Of candidates for the next Presi-
dental term should fall on some modest
and unambitiOus citizen, who has earned
a character by great prObity and his
bread BY honest labor, / shall hope tosee
his name at the head of the poll in spite
of the unconstitutional overthrow of
universal s~uffrage.u He had previously
expressed the hope that some time before
1900 the Americans would be capable of
eiecting something else than generals to
the Presidency. Mr. Greeley was an
original friend of civil service reform.
He was elected to Congress for the
short session, from December, IS4S, to
March 4, 1919, and Immediately made
vigorous war upon that shameful
idea Of paying members what was called
constructive mileage. 1t was the Gus
tom then to give members who had re-
NAMED in Washington during the vaca-
ton between sessions pay at the rate Of
forty cents a mile for journeys that they
were supposed to bat hadnever perform
ed. They were also allowed pay by the
usually Travelled rolIte,' and under this
the California members could, if they
pleased, charge by the way Of Cape
Horn, at the extremity of South AmeTi-
ca. Mr.. Greedy exploded these iniqui-
hes, showed that nearly all the members
