South lie is as bitter to-day as he was in
1860, when he preached and practised re-
bellion and secession. The result of the
war has not changed single one of his
political opinions, and he does not hesitate
to say 50. Yet he is the Presidents
fayorite for Governor of the Old Dominion.
But his great rcdeeming quality is that he is
friend of the President, and the President
is great friend of Wise.
This step is doubtless taken ON the part
of the administration in accordance with
the determination to ''make treason edieus;"
not treason to the government, but to the
person of the President, which he seems to
hold greater crime than an attempt to
overthrow the government. Treason cannot
be committed against the State, but it may
be against the person of his august majesty.

ALL HOAX.-It turns out that the re-

William, of Prussia, while attending a re-

outdo the American press in the way of

Stand up for the rights of all voters who
are entitled to vote. And do not allow any re
peaters from Baltimore city or elsewhere tc

All the ballots should be counted by the
judges before stopping. Taking the ballot-box
home and keeping it all night leaves room fol

taken of it or not

How To KEEP CELERY.-A correspondent
gives the following useful and seasonable hints /:
"For the benefit of those Of your readers who
have never succeeded in keeping celery in eat
able condition throughouta winter land know
of several), will give a rule by which I have
preserved celery, free from rot or rust, as late
as the last of March. Never work at celery in
any way except the plants be perfectly dry
Earth up, never before 10 o'clock a. m. nor af-
ter 4. p. M, and then only on very dry and
sunshiny day. In the fall, as soon as the
ground begins to freeze enough to make crust
in the morning, select a dry and sunshiny day,
and as near noon as possible, pack your celery
in boxes Il use soap or starch boxes), placing
first layer of earth about one inch deep then
layer of celery, placing the plants just far
enough apart to not lay against each other, and
thus, alternating earth and celery, until the
boxes are filled. Place the boxes where the
celery will not freeze (but not in heated room),
and your celery will keep splendidly and al
ways convenient for use."

more, either an enlargement of the city limits
or several distinct municipal organizations of
their own. Baltimore: must be enlarged, or,
if it be concluded that its population shall not
keep pace with its commercial and other kinds
of growth, be hemmed in by a series of villa
ges OF these two conditions we outsiders are
to choose, and the choice cannot much longer
be postponed. 1t ought not to be postponed
longer than the forthcoming meeting of the
Legislature. We need some government. We
must have some government We must have
some sanitary protection, more water, and some
means of defense against fires, and against
thieves and robbers, both biped and quadruped.
The occasional visitations ofagents ofthe county
commissioners, to our property in the matter of
ostensible surveys, the placing of small granite
stones about in spots, and their subsequent re-
moval a few inches to other spots, as if to give
all spots in time a chance of distinction, have
aboutsceased even to amuse thousands of citi-
zens that are just outside of Baltimore.
1t is greatly to be hoped that we shall have
before a very long time something that is at
least serious. l do not exactly know whose bus
inesc it is, but it must be somebody's, and it is
high time it were begun. GUILFoRD."
