Hon PLANTING.

A writer in the Cooperstown IN. W
Republican, who has devoted time and
attention to the culture of hops, says:
Having heard much complaint dur
ing the past two or three years of
failure Of lIop-settines to grow, will
state what l conceive to be some of the
causes. But i'll the first place, will
say that hop roots or sets dug in proper
time, which depends something on the
season, say from the 10Th to the 25th of
April, and preserved in the right man
ner, and set as they should be, within
ten days, arc as certain to grow as are
potatoes. Roots which are dug late in
the season, and have sprouted before
being dug, are worthless, and the
planting of such roots is the main cause
of failure. Another cause is, roots are
dug and thrown in piles in the yard or
in the cellars and allowed to heat, and
this cannot be detected by any exami-
nation. Further, the best lots to be
had will waste from one fifth to one.
seventh, many of them being
barked in digging, and, consequently,
great care should be taken it preparing
the sets. The planting should be as early
as possible, and care taken to put them
too inches below the surface, in fur
rows or otherwise, and cover three
inches deep, with a broad hill to retain
the moisture should the season prove
dry. Manuring in the hill is not a
good plan. If the season is dry the
manure has tendency to dry them
out, and if wet they are more liable to
rot. It is better to manure early in the
fall-say as soon as the 18th of o.
tol,er-thoroughly, giving the plants
the benefit of the manure through the
fall rains. order my roots or 20 and
get them myself, taking care to get the
first roots dug, and never have any
trouble with their growing. Last year
I ordered q barrel of roots, less than
four bushels, and they set nearly two
acres. They were put in flour barrel.
with holes bored in it, to prevent heat

One thing more: the roots should be
kept on cellar bottom and wet with a

The Salary Grab.

Mr.. Jewett's letter, from which we pub
lish extracts to-day, is the most punyent
and forcibe review of the outrageous
salary steal which has fallen under our
notice. Coming as it does from a gentle
man of his position, and from one who
has been so thoroughly devoted to the
republican party and so staunch friend
of Gen. Grant, it has great significance.
That the moral sense of the country re-
volts at the bare faced swindle is being
made apparent everywhere in the most
torcible protests against it, in the name of
the national honor, is that under notice.
Mr.. Jewett distributes the blame among
all concerned in the passage and approval
OF the bill, but in our judgment he bv no
means places the greater part of it where
it belongs. A fair consideration of all
that belongs TO the question will show
that neither the Senate nor the House, the
delegation from Maine in either branch,
nor Speaker Blaine can be fairly saddled
with anything like the proportion of
blame which falls in another direction.
On the last day Of the session, the Speaker
is overwhelmed with cares, and cannot.
if he would take the floor on any cues
ton. And besides Blaine administered. a
rebuke to the measure by insisting that he
should be excepted from the provision for
back pay, and carried it over all remon-
strances
The most blameworthy official whose
fingers have been contaminated in this
bad business is President Grant. His
anxiety for the passage of the bill is re-
ported to have been very great And very
evident it is that Butler, before he com
menced pushing the audacous scheme,
knew that the executive mind did not in
cline to interference Would he have
undertaken it if !Iolace Greeley, or Hen
bricks, or Seymour, or Judge Davis had
been President? Not for q moment. The
clear duty Of President Grant was to have
vetoed the bill at once. For that purpose
the executive has a negative provided in
the constitution. The Federalist, in one
of the articles written pending the adop-
ton of the constitution, saws of the veto:
cit establishes a salutnry check upon the
legislative body. calculated to guard the com
munity against the effects of faction. precpi-
fancy ar Of any impulse unf11endly to the
pubilc good. which may happen to influence "A
majority of that body
SO the veto power was intended by the
trainers Of the constitution to meet lust
such eases as this salary grab And ii is
exceedingly unfortunate for the country
that a man with public virtue sufficient to
have thrOttled the measure had not filled
the executive chair. And besides this
consideration it is well known that some
of the best lawyers in the country hold
that the bill should have been vetoed for
another reason-its uncOnstitutionality
The constitution provides that the presi-
dents salary ''shall neither be increased
nor diminished during the period for
which he shall have been elected" The
period (not term) for which Gen. Grant
had been elected when he signed that bill
does not end until 1877 And there is
ten times the legal ground for impeach-
mcnt in the act that there is any which
his friends urged against Andrew John
