Iris suggested that, failing all 9th
er means, the radicals, in their desper-
alton, may attempt to prevent the
House from exercising its constitu-
tional right to elect the President if
there is no election by the Electoral
College, by absenting themselves, and
thereby preventing the constitutional
quorum of two-thirds of the States
necessary for the purpose. This plan,
they will be unable, however, to carry
out. The Constitution says: In
choosing the President the votes shall
be taken by States, the Representa-
ton from each State having one vote;
a quorum for the purpose shall con-
sist of members from two-thirds Of
the States, and majority Of all the
States shall be necessary to choice"
There are Democratic Representatives
from more than two-thirds of the
States, and as the Constitution only
requires the presence of "a member or
members frem two-thirds of the
States, a single Democrat from States
where the majority of the delegation
are Republicans, in the absence of
Republican colleagues, may not only
make the quorum but cast his State.
The tactics attributed to the Repub-
licans would only help to swell Til
den's majority in the House. Besides,
if it were otherwise, it is game that
two can play at. The constitutional
quorum for the election of Vice Presi-
dent is two-thirds of all the Senators.
More than one-third of the Senators
are Democrats, and their absence
would efectually prevent quorum,
and prevent an election. We have
no apprehension, however, that the de-
cision of the question will be reached
by expedients which are simply
revolutionary and disorganizing,
and which the whole people,
without distinction of party, with one
voice would condemn Washington
Union

EFFECT OF SALT ON WHEAT.-In ali
interesting series of experiments
made on the farm of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England the manu-
rial value of salt was unmistakably
indicated. An acre of wheat dressed
with three hundred pounds of COM
mon salt yielded thirty-nine bushels OF
grain, with proportionate amount OF
straw, while an adjoining acre, left
unmanured, produced only twenty
nine bushels per acre, with the straw
imperfectly developed, showing an in
crease of ten bushels per acre. The
entire cost of the crop is not stated,
but this experiment shows that the ad-
ditional ten bushels resulting from the
salt were produced at a cost of thirty
cents each.
Tn another case piece of ground
intended for wheat was plowed the
preceding fall, and again in May,
when it was sowed with salt, and af-
terward blowed twice before seeding.
On the first and second of September
wheat was sown at the rate OF two
bushels to the acre. The crop, when
harvested, yielded, according to the
estimate of the owner, Mr.. John
Parke, not less than forty bushels OF
grain to the acre, with luxuriant
growth of straw. From these and
many Similar cases the inference
seems to be that salt is a specific for
the wheat crop, imparting solidity to.
the grain and frmness to the straw.

SO loudly on the subject of religion
that they awoke big dog which had
been sleeping on the hearth before
them, and he forthwith barked most
furiously. An old divine present,
who had been quietly supping his tea

gave the dog kick, and exclaimed

You know no more about it than they

SHAMELESS CRUELTY.
A Seventeen Old Girl Driven from Home and
Her Limbs Frozen.

One of the most shocking cases OF
cruelty it has ever fallen to the lot OF
a newspaper to record was brought to
the notice of Chief Maloy this after
noon. The circumstances thereof, as
far as have yet been learned, are as
follows: Residing on the road leading
from West Albany to the Shaker road,
and about halfway between these
points, is a family named Meisner,
consisting of a man, his wife, and
little girl seven years of age. The
neighbors in the vicinity have noticed
that the child was not we'll treated by
its parents, and, therefore, when moth
ing was seen of the little girl all day
yesterday and Thursday, suspicious
that something wrong had taken place
entered their minds. This morning a
delegation of the neighbors waited
upon the parents and inquired after
the child Receiving but small salts
faction from the surly head of the
family, the inquirers became more and
more convinced that something was
wrong, and forthwith instituted
search in the vicinity of the premises.
About so or 60 feet from the house
there is swamp abounding in under
growth and rank vegetation, and on
the searchers penetrating this they
found the poor, little, thinly-clad crea-
ture cuddled up behind some bushes,
nearly dead from exhaustion and ex,
posure. She was carefully taken up
and conveyed to the house of neigh
Dor, when DR.. Benjamin was summoned.
He examined the child and found both
her legs and arms frozen. The doctor
at once ordered her removal to the Ho-
meopathic hospital, on North Pearl
street, and she was conveyed thither. 1t
was believed that the limbs of the
child would have to be amputated to
save her life. 1t appears that the par
ents on Wednesday afternoon took ex-
ccptions to some trihing act the child
had done and drove her from the house.
She wandered into the swamp and laid
down to die rather than return. The
unnatural couple, it seems, notwlth-
standing the child's prolonged absence,
made no effort to ascertain what had
become of her. Meantime the poor
Innocent, in the CLEAN of day and the
gloom of night, prostrated by the cold
awaited the approach of death, while
her heartless parents, scarcely fifty
feet away, went about their usual 70
cations uncaring and unheeding what
had befallen her. DR.. Benjamin, or
being made acquainted with the facts
interested himself in the matter, ano
calling on Chief Maloy informed hin
of the case, with view to securing
the punishment of the inhuman par
ents. Special Officer Brayton will un
doubtedly prosecute them under th'
new law, and Captain Hagadorn ha'
? been instructed by the Chief to mak'
full inquiry into the facts. The cas-
. lies in the town of watervllle.-
