FALSE PROMISES.
A Negro Voter Awaiting sentence

HoD the Radicals Lead the Negroes into
Trouble and then Desert them.
VIM. Thomas, colored, who was con-
victed at New Castle Wednesday after
noon last on charge Of assaulting John
p. Cochran, ESQ. at Odessa, on the Day
of the General Election in 1870, (Nov.
sth) created quite q sensation In tho
Court room by making a speech. IN
which he declared that the Radical lea
ders had been the means OF getting
him into this trouble, and that they
had basely deserted him.
Thinking thatW illiam would probab,,
ly like to ventilate his false radical
| friends little more, q GAZETTE repor-
ter visited the Jail Saturday afternoon
and interviewed him on the subject o
Among many other things William
said that meeting of colOred people
was held at the Mt. Pleasant school
house, about a month, before the elec'
| tion, where speeches were made by Il.
lSmith, Richard Lockwood, VIM. Lore
Mr. Burrows, VIM. Hukill, and others
These speakers all said they expected tt
fight at Odessa on the day OF election
and requested the colored people to b
ready, and come to the polls ready To-
fight. The speakers expressed grea
desire to win victory, and asked thei
hearers to put every vote in, and the,
would be rewarded by being appoin
ted Road Commissioners, Turnkeys
&c.
William said that he did not want I
vote, buthe was furnished with o To-
receipt and told that he would be fine
II he did not vote. The speakers war
ted tho negroes to swear they woul
vote, but this they would not do. The
they were especially advised to be rel
D dy for fight on election day, and el
lhorted to "fear neither C0soh0rn nc
bullhorn," but to stand up to US and "
/, will back YOU"
!. The fght at Odessa, on election da
. 30 William says, "was caused BY q di
% pute over some votes offered. Richal
Smith rushed up to the polls with son
Fl colored men who know had not bee
in the State six months, and urged the
to vote"
sf A fight ensued, in which William b
J. came engaged, and during which
hit Mr. Cochran. He is very sorry I
{. this and says he did not know 1t W
Mr.. Cochran when he struck.
Referring to his arrest, williams sal

they never came near me. While

. conclusion, William at the time
the election said he had only been in
ne State about year, that he lived
Washington twenty five years, ser'
three years in the army, and had ne
before been arrested.

How to Produce Spring Wheat.

ANY spring wheat can be changed into
winter, or winter into spring, merely by
gradually changing the time in which
either is sown. By gradually sowing
spring wheat earlier every season, in IA
few years it can be sown in the fall and
become winter wheat. Or just before the
close of winter SOW winter wheat and let
it terminate slightly, then let it freeze
up until spring, and next year it can be
sown successfully in the spring. As it is
universally conceded that winter is better
than spring wheat, it is natural conclu
sion that the sooner wheat can be safely
sown In the spring the nearer will it at
tain to the quality of winter wheat. The
distinction between winter and spring
wheat is difference IN the time of sow
ing, and not in variety. By the foregoing
practice farmer may readily change a
choice variety of white winter wheat to
white spring wheat. AS winter wheat is
SO liable to be damaged by cold weather,
it would be the part of wisdom to raise
more spring grain and SOW less winter

A MyStifed Cat.

THE floor of the County Clerks office
was day before yesterday covered with a
carpet. This carpet is of fanciful pat
tern and in it are many high colors.
About the office is cat, raised in the
place, and a stranger to anything but
naked floors. After the upholsterer had
finished his work the feline, maggie"
by name, came from the office of the
County Auditor, Sheriff, or some other
room about the Court House, and, crying
at the door, Mr.. Thompson, the County
Clerk, went and let her in. Upon the
door being opened Maggie was about to
walk in as usual, when her eyes fell upon
the carpet. She instantly stopped and
gazed upon it AS though petrified with as
constituent. All the coaXing and petting
that could be done failed to induce the
cat to put her feet upon the carpet. She
would smell of it, and if hair tickled
the end of her nose would spring back,
shake her head and prepare to elevate her
back and thicken her tail. At last she
was caught and carried to the center of
the room, and, after being soothed till
quiet, was gently placed upon the carpet.
AT first she was afraid to move, but pres
emily began slowly to walk about, smell
ing at the flowers in the pattern and STEP
ping high, like horse with the string
halt, and whirling about with frightened
look whenever the claws of her hind feet
caught in the thread of the fabric. AT
length she got the better of her fears and
began to examine the situation more criti-
cally. In the pattern of the carpet at in
tervals of about four feet in all directions,
is large figure of bright scarlet color.
After cautiously smelling one of these
spots, the cat lay down upon it and rolled
over and over, displaying much pleasure.
She then went to the next red spot and
rolled upon it, and so on all over the
whole room, selecting the bright red spots
and rolling upon them till thoroughly
tired out. She paid no attention to any
color but red, though there are in the pat
tern of the carpet several other bright
colors of various kinds. Thus it would
seem that while red enrages the bulls,
turkey-cocks, etc, it is color with which
cats are Virginia City Enter

Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.

-Frosting-A Good Recipe.-Five
tablespoonfuls of white sugar for every
egg, beat up together, then put it over a
kettle of boiling water, stirring all the
time until it gets thick enough Let the
cake cool before putting it on.
Cheap Fruit Cake.-Onecupmola
one and one-half cups sugar; three and
one half cups of flour, one of butter; two
pounds English currants, one teaspoontul
all kinds of spices, one teaspoonful of
soda, two of cream of tartar, one cup of
sweet milk, yolks of three eggs Saving
the whites for frosting). Bake slowly;
when cool frost.
To Boil Eggs.-When you select eggs
for boiling, test their freshness by putting
them in Il pan of cold water. Those that
sink are the best. Always let the water
boil before putting your eggs in. Three
minutes will boil them soft; four minutes
the whites Will be completely done, and
in six minutes they will be sufficiently
hard for garnishing salads and dishes
requiring them.
Sour milk, buttermilk, and whey are
excellent for poultry of all ages, and at all
seasons, especially in winter. Milk is a
very good substitute for the insect forage
they are deprived of at that season, and
we believe ii is much more profitable to
give it to them than 10 swine. Unless it
fowls all they will drink, for they will be-
come purged by the excess, so that more
harm than good will be DONE A good
way is to mix the corn-meal dough with
milk.-Hurdl Messenger.
Hay Tea for Calves.-A farmer who
had a calf of value and no milk to give it
was advised to give it hay tea. He did so
and the calf is reported as doing finely
though it has neither received hay nor
meal since he got it. He cuts the best and
finest hay he has about two inches long
and pours boiling water over it; lets it
stand until cooled to about the heat of
milk from the cow, when the tea is given
| to the calf and the hay to the COW. Both
calf and COW thrive on their feed. We
have fed great deal of hay tea to calves,
with good results.-Rural NeD Yorker.
| EARLY Melons.-Gardeners generally
find it difficult to get as early melons as
| they would like, for the reason that they
will not bear transplanting. have tried
a way by which they can be started early
and transplanted when wanted. Save all
the pasteboard paper boxes, and fill them
with the best soil. Any Kind of boxes
will do; they can be made Of wood with
bottoms tackled on. After warming the
soil, plant the seed about five to the box.
| They can now be sunk in the hot-bed, or,
if you do not have one, they can be kept
in the house by the stove. When the
young plants are large enough they can
be transplanted After making the ground
mellow, make hole the size of the box
then slip out the bottom, and the earth
with the plants will slip through with
out being disturbed. This plan will do
for other plants besides melons, as cucum-
bers, etc, the tender egg plant, and some
varieties of flowers. By starting plants
early in this way several weeks can be
gained.-COrr. Of Prairie Farmer.

The Arkansas lmbrOgliO.

The condition of political confusion
prevailing in Arkansas, while exciting
universal regret, does not create the sur
prise which such an anomaly might
reasonably occasion. 1t has had its
precedent in Louisiana, and is, in fact,
but a repetition of the logical effect of the
lll-advised Executive policy maintained
toward the Southern States. The root of
the evil, however, penetrates deeper than
this Its harm was in the Reconstruction
acts of Congress, which created and
nurtured doctrine new to American
politics-that which inferentially gave to
Congress and the Executive a supervision
of the administration of State Govern
ments, even in time of peace. The
seeded States, in the attempt to regain
their normal position in the Union, were
required to assume the condition of de-
Tendencies petitioning fer rights, which
the policy OF the nation never admitted
they had succeeded in losing. Never
theless, Congress exercised the power OF
determining the extent and character of
their newly-acquired privileges, as well
as of the character and nature of the
governments they were about to establish.
These assumptions naturally led the peo-
pie of those States to look to Congress as
the final arbiter of all questions of State
policy in dispute, of the legitimacy of adj
ministrations, and of the character and
kind Of governments that were to be put
in operation.
The will of the people, or the result of
an actual election, interposes but feeble
barrier to the ambition of those who now
contend for the privilege of distributing
the revenues of Arkansas They know
that if an issue can be made upon the pol
icy of the National Administration the
party which espouses the cause of the Ex-
ecutive will succeed in its demands. 1t
only requires an Executive order to quiet
q disturbance which would never have
begun but for the well-grounded convic-
ton that the President would eventually
come to the relief of his favorite. The
political agitations that have cost the peo
pie of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas so
much would never have been thought of
but for the anomalous principle so recent
ly adopted ofmaking Congress the arbiter
of the disputed pretensions of ambitious
politicians who lay claim by reason of
party zeal to the government of State.
As long as that principle prevails so long
will the governments of Southern States
be interrupted and impeded by riot and
bloodshed. Under the paralyzing effects
of such policy Louisiana drifted into
anarchy and ruin; and Arkansas, while
initiating the ruinous policy of her ex-
ample, has added bloodshed and civil
commotiOn to the catalogue of her mis-
fortunes. Since both sides to the strife in
Arkansas measure their rights by the will
of the Executive, let the President com
mand the peace and prevent bloodshed.-
