Directions for Making Wine OF

An expensive grape press is wholly un-
necessary, except for very large opera
tons. Let the grapes so crushed stand

surface. Draw of the must from a tap
or spiggot near the bottom Of the cask
Set the must aside in a cool place, and
let il stand undisturbed, taking care
that the vessel that contains it is kept

It's becoming settled and perfectly clear.
The barrel or demijohn contsirln.s II

THE LOUISIANA RETURNING
BOARD.

Judge Whitaker, Of New Orleans,
writes a letter to the st. Louis Rcpubi-
run, in which he proposes t. put at
rest certain unfounded asscrlorS con
corning the origin of and moves
prompting the prosecution of the mem
bers of the Louisiana returning board.
The charges being generally known,
the Judge simply devotes himself to
the legal points bearing upon the acts
of those depraved men. He says:
The law of Louisiana provides penal
ties for the altering, classifying or forg
ing OF public records, and for the issu-
ance and pubic .tion Of certified copies,
etc, of such altered, forged or falsi-
fed records. | also fixes a punishment
for perjury. The grand jury of New Or
leans, assisted by the district attorney,
investigated these notorious char 9es
and came to the conclusion that there
was ground for prosecution. Their
oaths, the statutes and their con-
sciences in this matter, as in all Others
before them, should have been, and l
have no doubt were, their only g tides
AS to their path of duty. AS
presiding officer of the superior GRIM
inal court of New Orleans, l have
no disposition to express an opinion as
to the correctness of their conclusions;
but can say, personally, that nothing
of political intrigue or maneuver was
mixed up with the matter, and that
no political ring, clique or party had
any influence whatever upon the action
of the grand inquest, or of the prose-
cutting officers of the State or Of the
courts. Neither Messrs. Packard, Pit
kin, Blaine, Conklipg, nor any other
politician, Democrat or Republican,
originated, suggested, instigated or
assisted in it, and il was not the result
Of any design against Goverho: Mich
oils. The graad jury was composed
of Democrats and Republicans-whites
and persons of color-and l believe
hey were unanimous in the opinion
that the subjSct should he investigated
The return officers will have a
fair Trial by impartial jury, with
every opport ~ TO establish their de-
tense.
| One word more. The New orleans
Times asserted the other day that l had
requested Governor Nichols to write
To the lud jury with view to pre-
ven - prosecution and in that con-
Gect.la nInts at plot to injure the
postioa of the Governor in the interest
Of som, alleged opponents of his among
the members of his own party. know
nothing of any plot against the Cover
nor, and have no connection with any
political intrigue; but the facts sre
these: Hearing that the Coz ernor
was opposed to this prosecution, l sug-
yes ed to mutual friend to tell the
Governor that if he would wiite to mt
eXpr, ssing his views on the subject,
that would reply to it, and send the
letter and the reply to the grand jury
aud the Press.

The object is SO meritorious, that the

TIE Jews Of the United States late
ly held their fourth'asnual council at
Philadelphia. This union has already
done much in encouraging educational
and benevolent institutions, and it's
late action evipces the fact that it is TO
become an important adjunct in the
material development OF the country s
we'll as in improving the condition ofthe
Jewish race in America. 1t has estab-
lished q male college in Cincinnati and
the prospect now is that one will also
be established for females in the same
city. A novel project, too, is contem-
plated in the establishment OF an agri-
cultural colony somewhere IN the
United States, to which are TO be
invited the Jewish residents Of Rou-
mania and SerVia. Such an idea
is an excellent one, opening 6 new
industry for people who have here
tofore, in this country at least, en-,
gagged alone in mercantile pursuits. Nc
doubt such q community would grow
into importance, for the energy Of
this people, directed towards
any undertaking, would re
suit IN success. The union
invites donations for the purpose Of
carrying out this scheme, ssnd why
should not the Jews of Texas take al
Rtive part in the matter. Here art

THE New York Tribune has resume d
that kind of bitterness which charac-
terized it twenty years ago. Then it
wanted the North to wage war against
the South for the determination of
slavery. Now the same bitterness pos
sesses itin regard to liberty afthought,
and it makes the following prediction ;
Against the solid South there is soon
to be solid North; not so perfectly
united as the South, perhaps; that Is
not necessary; but solid enough and
firm enough to possess the government.
1t will be stronger than in 1861 ;
stronger for the prestige of past sue
cess, the enlarged experience Of added
years, increased confidence in its own
resources, and the consciousness of
having earned p rwer honestly and used
it worthily. The small margin by which
the Democrats carried two or three
Northern StateG in 1876 will crumble
away the instant sVch q 81 ctional issue
Is presented as that which the South
seems anxious to invite.
Even the founder of the Tribune be-
came at one time cipher in its man
agement, and its course st this iuncture
may soon produce similar effect as to
its own opinions and predictions.

No SCHEME Of the nineteenth century
has brought more distress to the pub
lie than the wrecking of life insurance
companies. Policy-holders have been
robbed of millions. The business Of
wrecking life insurance companies has
made few meh rich, while It has hurt
hundreds of thousands. These wreck
ers are greater criminals than those
who rob bank vaults after gsgging the
night Waterman. THIS wrecking bus.
mess should be made such an cffense,
with such penalties, that it will never
again be attempted. Laws can be
passed to reach every person engaged
in this sort of robbery, and it will be
the duty of our next Legislature to
pass them.
