Vanderbilt could engineer it out Of the
Union. The nation would be a rope Of
sand, with no power of its people and no
means Of protection against foreign
powers. This is doctrine fraught with
great danger, and it is good Democratic
doctrine, to-day. If that party should
again get into power, its consequences
would be upon the country and once the
States were allowed to go, there would be
no power to bring them back. No, it is
not safe 10 give power to the South till
hatred of the Union had died ont and this
detestable doctrine had been thrown to the
winds. There has been much talk of the
heavy taxes which have been the resnlt of
the war, and does any one wish to run the
risk of another such expensive conflict
To the laboring men he would say that in
1858 it was Democratic doctrine that
there should be docile class in the COM
munity, for servile work, and an aristo-
cratic class of people of leisure. That
doctrine was not palatable in New Hamp-
shire where every man worked. On the
tariff question, the Democratic doctrine
would bring our working men into COM
petition with the pauper labor of Europe,
and make of the busy City of Manchester
desert in three years. Is it safe to trust
power in the hands of party whose faith
is made up of principles like these?

Hon. Mr.. Wadleigh warned the people
of New Hampshire the other evening in
his campaign speech against believing
that secession is dead. He declared that
the issue is still living. Mr.. Greeley said
in 1872 that it was not given up, and that
the South intended to gain by politics what
they lost by the sword. This was still the
doctrine Mr.. Wadleigh declared. not only
of the South but of the democratic party.

The Democracy of Kentucky is dis
turbed. and there is every indication OF ;
rupture between the old Bourbous and the
more progressive element of the party.
The former are determined upon reviving
the issues and antagonisms of the late
civil war. while the latter vigorously pro-
test against it for their own salvation and
that of the party. The Bourbons are firm
in their belief that it is a meritorious act
of Democracy to have fought on the side
of rebellion, and Democratic duty to re-
ward those who went down with the "lost
cause" They insisted recently in their
State convention upon nominating for an
important office man who had been
wounded in the rebel army, without any
regard TO his necessary qualifications for
the position. The "neptral" Democrats,
who were not in either army, proclaim
that they will not stand this crowding
business, and are ready to support any
good man in opposition to him, without
regard to party.

Mr.. McCrary made speech in the
House the other day upon the railroad bill,
which bears his name. He maintained,
first, that Congress has undoubted con-
stitutional power to regulate interstate
commerce; second, that Congress has the
power to regulate such commerce by rail-
roads; third, that Congress can provide
that persons engaged in such commerce
shall not be guilty Of extortion. The
constitutional grant of plenary power over
commerce comprehended the control OF
the railroads. When combination ispossible
competition is impossible, consequently
Congress had the right to regulate the
rates Of fare.

About Bran.

WheaS bran is very much richer IT,
phosphorio acid than corn bran.-
Wheat contains in the whole grain
SO per cent. of phosphoric acil, and
corn only 5.l-2 per cent. but ncarl,
the whole of the phosphorio acid OF
the grain exists in the husk or bran.
THUS wheat bran contains nearly
twtnty-nine per cent. of this valuable
substance. What per ccntagc is in
the bran of corn we have no means Of
ascortainiug, but it is certainly less
rich III rhosphoric acid than wheat
bran.
Rye bran is fichcr still than wheat
bran containing over thirty-four per
cent of phosphorie acid, which is
Il larger proportion than is contained
in any other article of food for stock.
Wheat bran is also far richer in lime
than coin, and is therefore better
food for poultry than tho latter. If
wheat bran is preserved free from
damp or mold it will not detcrioratc in
quality by keeping for any moderate
length Of time, a year for Instance

That Order.

The Orangeburg News, in a contro.
versy with the State Trcasurer, uses
the following language:
"Mr. Cardozo charges Judge An
drews with having got Humbe:t to
cash the $4,000 order which brought
him out dcfaultcr. In our opinion
the State Treasurer would be reflect
ing his own interest by having as
little to say about the order in qucs.
tion as possible, We Charge that he
is as guilty as any one connected
with the transaction. Judge AM
diews and Ilumbcrt acted in good
faith, the former in receiving the
money aud the latter in paying it.
Why? Because the order was drawn
upon State funds, and Cardozo ac.-
cepted it, endorsed it as State Treas.
urer, with the promise to pay it as
coon as the appropriation bill passed
Upon his endorse mcnt, Ilumbert
cashed it. Who is to blame in this
Cardozo for cashing the second or
duplicate order, or IIumbert, who
paid the original with the acceptance
of the Treasurer :"
The public, who feel Il great inter~
est in this transaction, would like to
learn from some one who knows its
entire history. This, we submit, is
but reasonable in the public. The
defendants arc before court, but
the other parties whose names are here
mentioned have no excuse for silence
about matter in which they are SO
mixed up. Will 'r. Cardozo, or
Mr.. Andrews, favor the country with
his version Of tho facts = Ph@uic.
