Mr.. Gardner b. Weeks. of Syracuse, n.
y , being called on, commented on cream
cries, or manufactures for making at tho
same time butter and cheese. lie believed
in creamerieS, because they brought tue
farmer greater profits from their dilries.
His experiments had not been Conclusive,
vet he WAS confident the process would
Drove successful. On a recent visit to Cal
ltornia he had examined somewhat the
rancho of Mr.. Howard, native Nermonter
Mr. Huward's rancho IL divided into parts
keeping from ono hundred to two hundred
and fifty cows each, and these daIrIes are
rented ut the rate OF S2T per milking COW.
Mr.. Weeks visited some ten of these dairies
and admired their workings. \ SSede
carried on two ranches, on one OF which he
made butter successfully and on the other
butter aud skim cheese HIS butter sold Tor
35 cents per pound in gold in San Fran
clsco, and tho cheese brought him from . to
% cents per pound. gold. when eight days
old. This Mr.. Weeks regarded ~ an extra
ordinary case.
The first cream from milk is worth more
for butter and that which rises after the
milk |, 81 hours old is worth more Tor
cheese. lie thought cheese would furnish
more nutrition Tor the same money than
meat.
Mr. Withcrell. OF the American CHhiratOr,
said that aDv cheese that was not palatahlo
would not be dige-thlo and skim cheese
was not palatAble To many. Americans are
becoming weaned from cheese. because the
hest quality is sent abroad and the poorer Is
marketed at home.
Mr.. q. 5 Bliss said that the term mill

Oi u machine Tor working butter. Tho term
la now applied to poor butter bought up
in the city markets Tor 5 to 10 cents per
pound, worked over, purified and again
thrown upon tho market. There il Il

regret that Northern Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin manufactured butter that would
put to shame the average butter of Vermont.

BULL-DOZERs.

Reader, did you ever see two scrubby
little yearling bulls become indignant
How they paw the ground, below. twist
their tails and-leave plenty Of fresh
sign behind them.
Such was the performance of the in
dignant Democratic bull-dozers who went
to Columbus OF the sth of January, to
attempt to scare somebody.
Here is what they resolved:
Resolved, l. That the Government of
the United States is republican in spirit,
as well as in form. 1t is a Government
of law, not of arbitrary force. 1t is foun-
ded on universal suffrage, lawfully exer-
cised, and its existence depends on good
faith and sincere obedience to the laws.
2. That the votes cast on the 7th of
November, and duly certified at the close
of the election on that day by the officers
authorized to receive and record them,
alone determine the result of the cleo
tion held in any precinct, county or
State; and that Whatever may be the re-
turns then duly and properly certified,
they cannot lawfully be changed by any
officer authorized to canvass them and
announce the result
3. That while clear in the conviction
that Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks have received not only large
majority of the popular vote, but a ma
jority of the electoral vote, and are,
therefore, elected President and Vice
President, we yet declare that any deci-
sion made by the Senate and House Of
Representatives will be cheerfully acqui-
esced in by the whole people, and that
any attempt to inaugurate a President
simply upon the proclamation of the
President of the Senate will be an act Of
usurpation that will be resisted by ithe
people to the last extremity, even should
that extremity be an appeal to arms.
4. That the impudent and unfounded
charge that those who protest against
the exercise of illegal and arbitrary pow
er desire to foment strife and incite war
is made by conspirators to Withdraw the

ment and slow progress of the county up

people, which very materially changed

the subsequent progress and develop
ment of the county, let me go back once
more, and for brief season be a boy
again, among the pioneers. If knew of
any family in the county who still prac-
tice any of the old ways, how 1 would
delight to 60 and spend week with
them. In this winter weather / could
see the healthy, hardy men cutting tim
ber and making rails, cutting great dry
trees down in the fields, cutting them
into logs from ten to twenty feet in
length, putting one end on the half sled
and fastening it there with the great log
chain, and then with the two fat horses
dragging it home for fire wood. The
roaring fire Of dry logs constituted cook
ing stove, heating stove, lamps, etc, for
the entire family. Around this cheerful
fire l would like to crack and eat nuts,

listen to the old folks telling about the
earlier days OF our country. Fifty years
ago, before such fire, / often heard my
father and mother tell about the days of
their youth. My mother was six years
of age when CORVALLIS surrendered, and
her father resided only few miles from
Yorktown, Virginia, at that time, where
the surrender took place, in the year
1871. This was the crushing blow to
British power in the colonies. Ny
mother said that a neighbor, named
Jerry Edwards, came to her fathers
house one morning and said he had had
a remarkable dream the previous night,

rendered, and the news of the sure nder
came the same day. There was great ex-
citement over the surrender.

We do not see how our Fourth Of July
orators can boast of the wonderful capac-
ity of the people for self-government.
First we had the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, declaring for the equality of
all men, with the practice Of the Govern
ment enslaving one-sixth of the native
population Of the country, and declaring
by the highest court known to the Con-
stitution that this one-sixth had no
rights which the other fve-sixths were
bound to respect. When this was ques-
toned, the party holding this view of
the matter, went into rebellion to en-
force il.
Now we find in two of the States,
South Carolina and Louisiana, two Gov
ernors, and two legislatures, in full blast,
each claiming to be legal. How long is
this to continued Is selfgsvernment a
: failure2 1t has been, since the days OF
Abraham, and human nature has been
the same in all ages. The question in
this country seems likely to be settled
within the next ten years.

Tuesday mornings mail brought US the
Cincinnati Times of Monday evening
from which we learn that President
Grant has recognized Packard, Republi-
can, as the legal Governor of Louisiana.
The Washington dispatch in the Times
says:
The President has settled the Louisi-
ana difficulty, as far as he is concerned,
by recognizing Packard as Governor, and
instructing Cen. Augur to act according
ly. 1t has been known here for some
days that the President has not only
been desirous but anxious to extend rec
ognition to the Packard Government
but only deferred doing so until he had
all the facts before him in an official
form. The data upon which to act
reached here yesterday, and without
calling a Cabinet meeting the President
sent dispatches to New Orleans which it
is believed here, will enable Packard to
maintain himself as the legal Governor.
The President was induced to act thus
promptly, as your correspondent is ad-
vised, under the belief that matters were
fast drifting into a state of anarchy, and
that a few days delay would only add to
the complications, and see an irregular
Government installed, apparently, in
form

quently to write wills. appeal to all
such to say if they have not found uni
versal opinion among men that will can
always be broken unless something IS
willed to each child. You commence
writing a mans will and he will say:
There is my oldest son, James, to whom
l have given his full share Of my proper
ty. When he was married gave him a
horse, saddle and bridle and gave him
five hundred dollars to help pay for his
farm. He has been a good boy, but
have done well by him-give him one
dollar" But" says the lawyer, why
insult him with one dollar; if you men,
ton his name, why not say that you have
already given him his full share of your
property" 81 would like to do so" says
the dying man, "but, you know, must
will each child something, or the will can
be set aside" The lawyer tells him that
is not the law. The man seems incredu-
lous, and says possibly the law may have
been changed, but that used to be the
law. If the lawyer tells him that such
never was the law, he does not believe
him, and says he would rather will Jim
one dollar any how-it can do no harm,
and may prevent trouble. Now this

law, was beaten into that man, and all
others, for that matter, and it is useless
for the best lawyer to attempt to over
come this lesson of tradition.

the prevalence of a silly tradition, by

Congress must have something to do

never had any doubt that a written con-
stitution is a delusion and a snare, and

prove a failure, il will be in consequence
of our pretended reverence for. and di-

A committee Of the House, and one OF
the Senate, have been at work some time
to devise a'plan for counting the eiecto-
raj vote. Every few days the news
comes that these committees are about
to agree, or have agreed, upon some
plan" which will be satisfactory to all
concerned. This is impossible. 1t is
about such a piece Of tomioolery as was
the convention in 1861, that fooled for q
long time with the Crittenden COmpro-
mise.
In the first place, the Constitution
provides all that is necessary in the
premises, and neither q committee, nor
two committees, nor either or both
Houses Of Congress, can in this manner,
change the Constitution.

The Republican State Government in
Louisiana is about to go under. Mich
oils has about ten thousand armed rebels
in New Orleans, and calls them police.
Pinchback desires to be elected to the
United States Senate, and it is said he
controls enough members Of the Repub-
lican Legislature to destroy a quorum,
when they are absent. We do not blame
Pinchback. The United States Senate
committed a great wrong when it refused
Pinchback a seat in the Senate. IL there
ever was a legitimate Republican Gov
ernment in Louisiana, then Pinchback
was the legitimate Senator; but he was
a "nigger," and even Republican Sen
ate could not forgive him for that crime.
Now if Pinchback shall destroy the Re
publican administration in Louisiana,
and give the State over to the control Of
the rebels, it will be retributive justice.

diture of Sl09 for tobacco for the Jackson
County Infirmary. Down here on the

money that way.-Ironton Register.
Very we'll Here goes.
Our views Of the tobacco question are
pretty well known. We regard the use
of tobacco as the foundation-thes source
the cause, Of all intemperance There
are men in the Infirmary of Jackson
county whose prospects were once as
bright as those of the editor Of the Reg
lister, but tobacco and whisky have land
ed them in the Infrmary. We believe
the editor Of the Register is a smoker.
Suppose he should become unfortunate,
and have to 60 to the Infirmary, and the
authorities should refuse to furnish him
tobacco. He would think very hard OF
it.
We pay our share Of taxes to support
the Infrmary, and the unfortunate in
mates thereof but we do not object to
the tobacco part Of the expense, as much
as we detest the use Of this accursed,
sinking, filthy drug
1t is the use Of tobacco by boys-young

we abhor. Let the poor. unfortunate

A large number of persons in Ports
mouth are suffering for somethingt to eat,
and money has been borrowed to start a
soup house. A large kettle, holding As
gallons, is made full of soup twice day,
and served out to the starving poor.
The Times does not state whore the au-
thorities borrowed the money, but we
suppose they borrowed it from the to-
bacconists, and beer and whisky sellers.
They have plenty of money, no matter
how hard the times may be. We believe
the tobacco, beer and whisky consumed
in Scioto county, pay tax to the Gener-
al Government of about $4,000 per
month, or nearly million dollars per
wear
