| II. L. Meade. esq.,:
| Dear Sir-Your letter is received, and | will
answer tho heterogeneous in the order in which
they ero propounded:
l. What tax is to DO paid bofcro the voter can
| vote?
| Answer: The capitston tax required by law
for the preceding ytar'-that Is, tho year pro-
must pay before voting at tho November cleo
! ton tho capitaton tax of 1876.
| =. 10 whom is the Tax paid?
| Answer: TO tho treasurer Of tho county before
the d.Ilnqucnt lists arc returned, TO wit: before
or on the lst day Of February Of each year. Ii
not paid to tho treasurer boiorc The delinquent
lists are required, then tho payment must DO
made into the State treasury, or to tho clerk Of
the county or corporation court, or TO q collec-
tor appointed by tho Auditor under the proVis-
ion o! section u. chapter 81, codo Of 1873, page
37S.
|, 8. What is to DO tho evidence Of tho payment?
Answer: The primary evidence will be the
receipt OF the treasurer Of the county or corpor-
alton, or OF the State Treasurer, or the clerk of
the county or corporation court, or Of tho colcc.
tor appoiated by tho Auditor as above indicated.
III tho receipt cannot be produced, thea any
evidence that will satisfy the minds of honest
and Intelligent commissioners Of elections Of tho
payment OF the tax.
would suggest that if tho clerk, the day be-
lore tho election, would furnish TO the commits.
Sioncrs at each voting place list Of those who
have not paid the tax, it would be sufficient evil
dcoce and save much trouble. If the votor
claims to have paid after this list was made out,
a. would be no hardship to require such voter to
produce receipt from tho collecting officer.
/ Now allow me- to add flor the question ha, been
ssked by several correspondence that the county
court has the right, for bodily inirmity. to ex-
cmpt malo persons from the payments Of the
capltstlon tax. When this exemption has been
lmado tho voter votes without reference to the
tax, and al that is necessary for him TO do is to
produce b fore tho commissioners Of election
- copy + the order OF exemption.
am very truly yours, &C.,

Hayes radical meeting 10 Utica, last Saturday
night, at which he said, abiding to the l'rcsi,
dents order prohibiting oficehoI'lers from tax
ing part 10 politics. we arc about to take ia
hand what is called politics. 1t was the wisdom
:of the men who laid the foundation Of this gov
icrnment to give the people the power Of con.
Quoting their own affairs. 1t it right that We
take our share in looking after the public vel
fare. No man in our country should ignore
politics. No man is so rich or 80 poor, SO high
ior 80 low, that he has no OCCASION to take part
iin that matter which is called politics. Blu!
there arc no Discussions in our ranks that may
be digniGed With that nam9. There Is merely
a difference of opinion as to the policy pursued
by The President in gaining a desired end
When this policy shall have been tried aud
proven, then shall this difference fall away.
"Sufliceut unto the day is The evil thereof"
There will always be matters OF public import
that will divide party to an extent.

The Nee England Farmer hss the toll
lowing in regard to sand for use IN stables:
Sand. if not the best, is one Of the best
articles in use for bedding cattle 1t IS a
rood deodorizer, and keeps the stable
sweet If stable can be SWEET As The
cattle work il back into the trench under
THEN feet, il mikes with the manure, and
thus divides it and makes it more suita-
bile for the use OF plants If the distance
to haul is not too far, its very cheapness
ought 10 recommend its Use. In barns
that have no cellars when il is used freely,
il would absorb large amount Of urine
that is now wasted. Soil and muck arc
dirty things to use in the stable, but
sand is clean. Then, too, il is nice
thing to use under hen roosts, to receive the
droppings, which cal be easily raked of
and put in barrels, and IN the spring
mixed with fine COW manure one part OF
the former 10 two OF the latter This be-
ing shoveled thoroughly two or three
times. makes a mass of rich manure. \
large handful of this in the hill will set
corn to growing finely. Flowers, too
grow and blossom lar better in soil that
has an adniixture of sand So clayey and
peaty soils ale benefited by Its combina-
ton with them, and vice versa. When
spread on heavy soils in grass, it pro-
duces more effect than any chemical ma
nure have ever seen used.

While the officer was looking under the
