GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE: In the note re-
qucsting your appointment I asked that you
should make a full Investigation Of all the
sources of information. You are witnesses that
have in no way Influenced or interfcred with
your proceedings or duties. l have wished the
Investigation to be so searching that nothing
could unscttle its results. l have nothing
to gain by any policy Of suppression or com
promise. For four years have borne and
suffered enough. and I will not 30 step
further. will be free. ! will not walk under q
rod or yoke. If any man would do me . favor,
let him tell all he knows now. 1t il not mine to
lay do vn the law Of honor in regard to the use OF
o h.r persons confidential communications, but
In 90 far as my own writings arc concerned there
is not letter or document which am afraid to
have exhibited, and l authorize any, and call
upon any living person, to produce and
print forthwith whatever writings they have, of
any source whatever. 1t is time, for the sake
Of dccency and public morals, that this matter be
brought to an end. 1t is an open pool of currup-
ton, exhaling deadly vapors. For six weeks the
nation has risen up and sat down upon scandal.
Not great war nor u revolution could more have
filled the newspapers than this question OF
domestic trouble, magnifcd thousand fold,
and, like sore spot in the human body, drawing
to itself every morbid humor in the blood. Who
ever is buried with it, it is time that this abomi
nation be buried below all touch or power OF
resurrection.

No Souls Worth SavinQ.

Referring to tho recent murder Of
Rev. Mr.. Stephens, In Guadalajara,
Mexico. the Aid Of Monday last uses
the following language:
In another column may be found the
record Of an net Of atroclty for which
language, although worthy Of By
ron's opithet In respect to Its capacity
for denunclstloh, yet Is too weak to
express a proper sense OF detestation
for tho creatures capable Of such an
atrocity. A young, educated gentle
man, quietly teaching their children
the rudiments Of an education, and
proclaiming the Gospel Of Peace, Is
slaughtered and his body horribly
mangled. after tho horrld custom OF
the American Indians. Aud this, OF
course. was done In the name OF Chris
tisnity. the Gospel OF peace and love.
OF charity and good will! Yet those
barbarlans call themselves civilized,
enlightened Christians. We did not
know Mr.. Stevens, but we a believe
that a young nan who voluntarily,
through a sense OF duty and love Of
his fellow men, Is willing to work and
suffer among such n class Of brutal
people, could not certainly deserve
any other treatment than kindness and
protection. And the question will
arise, or the doubt, whether such in-
famous aud cowardly wretches have
souls worth tho saving, or, In fact, any
souls ut all

Mr.. Sumner has not, for the past
three or four years, been In accord
with the leadership Of the Republican
party. and In 1872, made a severe and
elaborate arraignment OF the Admin
istration, which led to the formation
Of the Liberal Republican party, but
did not prevent the reelection OF Cen
Grant. During that Winter he also
introduced a resolution to expunge
from the battle fiass Of the regular
army. all inscriptions Of battles fought
during the rebellion. This was seized
upon by some fanatics In the Mass

Fertllizing Land with Sheep.

Thepapcrs states that Mr.. II 6. Abbot Of
Nassalboro'. Maine fenced of ten acres Of
land. so poor that nothing but white and
yellow weeds grew upon il, and turned
upon it fifty sheep aud kept them there two
seasons. They ate up every green :hng.
In the Spring OF the second season. there
sprang up green coating. showing that
grass was coming SO fast as to induce a
Withdrawing of the sheep the third season.
The result was a crop averaging two tons
TO the acre on one portion. and two and a
half tons on the other, of the best quality
Of hay. The weeds had nearly all di,sp-
peared. This is another proof OF the
favorable influence excrted by sheep on
farming lands.
We have before referred TO this subject,
and believed il worthy the attention of
farmers in the back country. where sheep
can be kept without danger from dogs:
and where sheep husbandry can be made
profitable. II the placing of sheep on poor
lands will produce such results as are
here given. certainly there can be no way
by which the farmer can better improve his
poyeriystricken fields. il such he has.
sheep can be well kept where cattle would
mud it difficult 10 get living. Wool docs
not always bring a high price, it is true.

Plant q Strawberry Bed.

Now is just the time for setting out
patch of strawberry plants. We have tried
to start beds in the fall, but have not
usually been successful. The plants have
been killed by the dry weather in August
and september, or frozen to death in the
winter following. With q sufficient amount
Of care. plants may be transplanted in the
fall with fair degree of success. One
great difficulty is the scarcity Of good
plants in the Autumn. Old plants that
have borne fruit are worthless, and the
new plants from runners have not become
strongly rooted, unless great care is taken
in their growth. Then the soil is dry and
much of it falls off from the roots when
they are moved In April, the plants
grown from runners OF the previous Sum-
mer have come to maturity and are in
excellent condition for planting out. The
soil lie damp and ball Of earth may be
taken up with the roots, when the plants
are to be set Immediately, and they will
keep on growing as though nothing had
happened. But if they are to be carried
long distances they can bear the journey

The best manure to be used in the Or

cannot be too strongly impressed with the
importance Of bestowing better care and

which even with neglect have proved to
be the most profitable part Of the farm.
