GRANT ON THE CIVIL RIG HTS
BILL.
Washington (Sept. I4) Special to the Cincinna
Commercial

washington (Sept. l4) Special to the Cincinnati
Commercial
The President, to-day, in an interview
with Senator Spencer, of Alabama, and
Representatives Hays and Raper, of the
same State, stated, with some indica-
ton of irritation, to these gentlemen,
that he thought they had acted inju-
diciOusly, and had the Civil Rights bill
passed at the last session of Congress he
would have vetoed it. Gen. Grant fur
ther said that he thought the Southern Re
publicans had made a great mistake in
forcing the issue upon this bill at this time.
Grant being further interrOgated, said ifthe
bill should pass at the next session he would
not veto it probably, for then the whole
Republican party would be responsible.

COngratuIating Louisiana and New
Orleans.


The PicdsIme oOngratulateS the noble
State in which for nearly half century It's
destinies have been cast. If at any time
in the past it has seemed lacking in the
warmth of sympathy, it was because we
differed in opinion, as to the wiseSt method
Of achieving the commonly desired end.
Wemay do so again, but withthe freedOm,the
emancipation Of our people, with the gal
liant assertion of the peoples right and The
glorious manifestation of our brethrens
courage, the PicdJ1ue's heart beats IN
unrson and swells in honest, unaffected
pride. We congratulate New Orleans as
the author Of the grand blow which has
freed the State We congratulate Louis
lana on the long breadth of freedom she in
spires to-day. 1t is of the utmost importance
that our citizens should enforce order and
extend protection to all peaceable citizens.
There are always on occasions like the pre-
sent, disOrderly and turbulent persons, who
little think Of the great responsibility they
incur by abusing or iil-treating those for
whom they entertain any personal animos-
ity. All peaceable persons should be pro-
tected, and il is the duty of every citizen TO
be police officer. With that view, the
cause of our people and the interests OF a
great commercial city as New Orleans IS,
aTe too sacred to be forgotten. Under the
new regime every citizen, without regard
to race, color or previous condition, is entl-
tied to protection and full freedom. The
government is determined to maintain or
der and confidence, and New Orleans Will
soon be again the most prosperous and hap
py city of the South.

what GEN. Emory Reports

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Sept. l5.-The
Presidents proclamation issued in 1875,
during the McEneFy and Kellogg Difficult
ties, gave twenty days for the belligerents
to disperse. The present proclamation
gives only five days. Gen. Emory, in a
dispatch dated yesterday, addressed to
Gen. Mcdowell and sent to the War De
partment, says he has not troops enough to
maintain himself if a conflict should un-
fortunately occur between the troops and
insurgents, and fJuJhsr, that the mere
presence of troops has lost its moral in
fiuenee in preventing disturbances.

Strange Growth Of Potatoes.

A curious fact with regard to the
growth OF potatoes is related by NJ.
Charles Rabache, IN which it sp-
pears that the tubers were planted III
pure sand, IN the bottom of cave
which was quite dark, and provide
with little or no ventilation. When
spring appeared the tubars germinat-
ed, and after . given time shall no.
bules appeared upon the roots, de.
veloping into tubers OF fair size.--
The stems grew quite long, and were
perfectly white except at the EXTERN
tiles, which were directed toward the
opening, and Therefore somewhat ex-
posed to the action OF diffused light.
The tubers, though smaller.
were in every way similar to the
original, having the same color and
taste, aud show the SINE composition
upon chemical analysis, and the vol
ume and weight of the entire pro-
duct, stems, and tubers, was
three times tina, OF the original ;uber.

Bran for Horses.

A correspondent OF the journal OF
the Farm writes: Bran when ted to
animals IS laxative, and on this &C.
count should not be fed to horses IN
any quantity when hard work is at
all required OF them, because weak
ness IS caused by this relaxation OF
the bowels, and great injury infllct-
ed. The theory that introduces bran
INTO the horse stables it as pernici-
GUS in its effects as the indiscrlminate
use OF bran itself as the whim OF the
stableman, and the theory is. that
horses, sick or well, should be fed on
bran. mashes, A little bran with
other and more substantial articles
Of food may, however, be occasion
ally given with advantage, but always
taking care not to feed it IN quantl-
ties to give rise to loossness OF the
bowels, nor be counted to the poor
horse as SO much other solid food,
for IN doing SO. you not only deceive
yourself, but cheat your horse.
