dent of the United States, one of the fra
mers and ablest eXpositors Of the Consti-
tuition, author. jointly with Jay and liam
ilton, Of the Federalist, and of The Re.
port on the Virginia Resolutions of 1873
.; and, in itself, constitutes the most
striking and brilliant episode in the in
tcresting history of an era, when the
whole civilized world was convulsed by
the great wars that followed the French
Revolution.
The War Congress convened on 4th
November 1871, in compliance with the
Presidents proclamation, and the House
of Representatives chose for its Speaker,
the great orator and tribune of the peo-
pie, Henry Clay, of Kentucky. James

EbbiBg of the Tide.
rryo, n. Buf.lo Erprsss, March laJ

IFror the Buffalo Express, March I2l
The returns from New Hampshire
do not indicate that the Republican
party is on its last legs. On the con-
trary, they give evidence Of degree
of vitality that must be surprising, 10
Democrats at least. Even the most
ssnguine Republican in the country
would hardly have yentured to pre-
dict the radical change in political
sentiment in the Granite State that
was developed on Tuesday. Every
thing was against it. The Demo
cratic position was strongly %entrench-
ed by their having possession OF all
branches of the State Government.
| Added to this was the influence OF
the sweeping victories Of last fall,
which greatly enhanced The esprit
du corps of party. But in spite OF
all obstacles the Republicans schiev-
ed a fubstsntia victory. True there
was DO election of Governor by the
people, but both branches of the Leg
islatnre were wrested from Demo-
cratic control, thus ensuring the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate by
that party.
II is claimed that the gain OF the
Republicans over the Democrats was
not sufficient TO be the occasion OF
any great ex~uliaiion ; and this would
be true pnder other circumstances
aud in almost any other State hut
the fact that in New Hampshire, and
at this time, our friends have gained
at all is a remarkable indication that
q reaction against the Democracy is
taking place that promises to COM
pletely reverse their late victories IN
November. 1t is significant that this
ebb Of the Democratic tide has Qc-
Cured only four months after the
November food. 1t was expected
that, after the Democracy bad been
10 power s year or two 10 the States
which they carried last fall, and 10
The House of Representatives, aud
had thus had au opportunity to ex-
pose the whole OF the eleven foot,
The people would be ready for another
change. But that they should so
soon turn their backs upon the party
that won their support By such ex-
traordinary promises of reform IL
more than was calculated upon.
They have done so, nevertheless,
and have thereby demonstrated be-
yond a question that the Democrat:
ic victories of 1874 were not the re-
suit of a loss Of faith in the Repub-
!iral party, or of any real confidence
in their opponents, but simply Of One
of those u~nsccountable freaks TO
which the people are sometimes SUBJ
lject. They have had time to think
the matter over a little, and are
sg;ngjng back to their old allegiance
without waiting to be driven 10 do
so by the fragrant ~wickedness OF Pc
mocracy, which is sure to be deyel-
oped whenever it has the opportuni-
". That they will continue drifting
back ia sufficient numbers to ensure
sweeping Republican victories 10
1875 we do not entertain q doubt.

Destroying weeds.

Every once in a while We READ
that the wav to destroy noxious
weeds Is to haul loads of earth, aud
cover the places where the weeds
crow. a half a foot or so in depth.
Sometimes these instructions are va
Tied so a. TO read rubbish instead Of
earth. aud thea again rubbish is de-
fued as straw, cornstslks or ev,n
brush. Now, we have 90 doubt IN
the world that weeds can be destroy
ed 10 that way. We know that
weeds are to feed on air, and al that
sort Of thing, and that il they are
smothered they cant breathe, and
If they cannot breathe they die. All
this is so plain to the tbickest skull
that 4 msy feel perfectly safe in
recommending il as something that
viii surely do. And yet We would
Ike to know how many who recon-
mended il hsye ever done so, or seen
their plan tried by others? We very
much doubt Whether il was ever
done. Some may haze noticed
that under a brush-heap everything
was killed. and that after remaining
a year the brush-heap's removal
would show the spot bare OF all veg
citation. If the recommendation ever
had any ground at al it was surely
this.
Our remedy for noxious weeds is
thorough cultivation. If q piece of
ground is full Of briers, nilk-veed,
/ couch-grass, sodom-apples, Canada
thistles. sorrel, toad-faT, or other
miserable stuff that so often tries the
metal Of our good farmers, let item
put the ground in cora for q couple
Of wears or so, keeping the eGltiya-
ton going continually, and especially
going 10 the earliest parts Of the sea-
son. and the toughest character among
these weeds wiz fail to stand the
ordeal. II the hand-hoe can be spar,
ed to 90 ia among the hills of corn
occasionally, where tie teeth Of the
harrow cannot reach. OF to cut OF
here and there one which the harrow
NAV miss, q bad cas- may be cured
in a single season. But if this eau
not be done, a couple Of successive
years with a sharp-tootbed cultiva-
tor among a corn-crop will generally
do the business for the worst case
tba. ever was.
Let anyone who has q weedy field
before him, resolve the coming sea-
son to put the whole tract 10 corn
aad keep clean, and be will give up
1 81 the common ideas Of smortber-
ing-oGt with deep layers of earth,
cutting up il the full Of the moon,
putting salt uyos their tops, or the
many other recommendations started
in the interest as it is believed Of
laziness; but which really calls for
more trouble and hard work than q
thorough and systematic cleaning,

Cultivation

After tSe plants are established
they need but little attention, except
thar the ground should not be allow
ed to bake or become bard, but should
be frequently cultivated with the hoe
and rake, or other implement. SO as
70 keep it light and friable, as yell
as clear from weeds aud grass.
Roses Of the eyer-blooming class
will begin to bloom almost as soon
as they commence to grow. and as
she plant gains in strength aud size
che flowers will increase in number
and beauty until the whole bed is a
mass Of bloom. Faded flowers should
be removed daily besides adding to
Ghe neat appearance of the beds, this
encourages fresh bloom, as the effort
20 produce seeds weakens the vitality
of the plant aaG binders its growth.
This is particularly applicable to the
hybrid perpetual class. some of which
are rather shy autumn boomers, un-
Seas care is taken to keep ITEM grow
ing sigorOusly during the summer.
ct the approach of winter it is q good
plan to giEe the bed a covering OF
coarse manure. forest leaves, partial
iy decomposed sOds, road scfapiDgs,
or any similar material that is con-
venieut; this serves 5 slight pro-
lection, besides inducing 5 strong,
