Treating q Sick Horse.

Generally medicines are given to
horses in the form of ball, because the
administration Of drench is a much
more troublesome affair; and in almost
all cases more or less of the dose is vast
ed. Sometimes, however, a liquid medi-
cine is to be preferred, as in collie or
gripes, when the urgent nature of the
symptoms demands rapidly acting
remedy, which ball, from its requiring
time to dissolve, is not and besides
this, a ball cannot contain any of the
spirituous cordials The best instru-
snent for giving a drench to horse is
the horn OF an OK, cut obliquely, SO as
t. form a spout. Bottles are sometimes
used in an emergency, but their fragile
nature always renders them dangerous.
On giving drench the tongue is held
the same as for the delivery of bali,
but the head must be elevated the /
drench is then poured into the throat,
in small quantities, after which the
tongue is let 60, but the head still kept
up Till it is all swallowed. The horse
cannot swallow if the head is held too
high, and the fluid is apt to entei the
and lungs. Allowance should
always be made for some waste in giving
a drench.

The Senatorial d

To ave their sli n party majority,
the Radical Senators have for six
weeks refused to admit the Louisiana
and South Carolina Senators. The last
named State has only one Senator 10
the Senate, and he IL more suitable to
represent the State in the %Penitenliary f;
the former State has no Senator at all.
This Is a sad comment on the Republi-
can bosh about a united country, aud
Justice to all sections Of tho Union. If
these two States were Northern SlAlts
aud Republican Senators were being
kept out OF their seats b. Democrats
on such limsy pretenses, a howl would
be raised that could be heard from n
end ofthe country to the other. Tho
credentials have been referred to tho
Committee, and the Committee are
using every device 10 secure delay.
While the Committee could have eX-
amined aud reported Oh Mr.. Buffers
case in an hour, they have refused to
do il, aud have persisted in vast
ing time on the louisiana case.
This course brought the question
to an i.suc, and on a test vote the Dem
ocrats carried tho day. We are glad II
see that, 5 ustor DaVis, offllinois, voted
with The Democrats. But the Radicals
still had power enough, with Patler-
sons vote, 10 adjourn until Monday.
This ia in accordance with Senator Ed
munds'l threats, aud means that dils.
tory tactics will be exhausted before
these three Southern Senators arc adj
mitted. This spiteful work should in
jure the Radical party very much, but
we doubt that it will, for there are q
large number Of Northern Inen who
think that any injustice done the South
ia all right. And yet these very men
wonder why more Southern men do not
join tneir party. While they spurn US
aud snub our Senator'S aud Representa-
tives, and taunt us as being e~x.rebels,
they expect us to embrace them. MOI
much. AS long a. this mean, spiteful
feeling toward the South and South.
ern men exists, 50 long will we despise
the party and the leaders responsible
for It. II the Republicans had grace.
fully acknowledged the wisdom Of the
Presidents course, and proved their
faith by their works, there is no power
on earth that could have kept the
South solid In lis opposition to them.
As it Is now, this bitter feeling IN the
North will keep the South solid, until
a Democratic Administration succeeds
in uniting the different sections on a
basis Of real equality aud permanent
peace. No Republican Administra.
lion eau do this, because the present
hateful course OF the Radical Senators
proves too plainly that the leaders o.
hist party are opposed TO such a policy
