HOW FAST WILL TREES G ROW.

In order to test the rapidity of the
growth Of the different varieties of trees,
writrr in a Western paper took the
measurement and height of large mum.

result:
Two Norway spruces, set twenty years,
were five feet and half in circumfer.

spread of about twenty.six feet in d.
ameter.
A black spruce set fifteen years was

Two balsam frs, set sixteen years, were
thirty feet high.

A Scotch pine set eighteen years was

A hard pine set seventeen years was
three feet eight inches in circumference,
while an Australian, set fourteen years,

A Russian spruce set fifteen years was

Hard naples set twenty years average
over thirty feet in height.
One soft maple set sixteen years was
fifty feet in height and six feet in circum.

A black walnut set sixteen years was

Washington was to small to excite the
fears which were entertained at the time.
1t was not too small for the immediate
object. It was large enough to have in

ed into the House of Representatives,
as Cromwell and Napoleon did under
other circumstances, and that he was
prepared for some decisive step in case
the House pursued certain course is
no longer doubtful.
But it must not be supposed these con-
spirators went as far as they did without
beingsprovided with other resources. Be-
yond the regular troops under Gen. Sher.
man, which held all the approaches to
Congress, and had artillery trained on
the House Of Representatives, they had
outside support ready at a signal to be
transported to Washington to back up
the conspiracy. 1t will be established
at the proper time that 10000 enrolled
men of the Grand Army of the Republic
were in reserve, oficered for this service
and rendered for duty, if the statement
of leading Republican who was con-
spicuous in all parts of the fraud is to be
Other astounding facts not less
important must soon come to light.

Hayes-AnOther Feature Of the Presidential
USurpatiOn.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, speaking of the perils
which attended the recent Presidential
election and the declaration of the result
with the course taken by the admpistra-
ton, says
After the Returning Boards had CONS
pleted their infamous work and had, with
the utmost daring, falsihed the votes Of
Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina
which all the world knew had been cast
fairly for Mr. Tilden, it became quesN
ton of form as to the rest. The conspir-
ators who begun with the fraud in these
States, of course must have had plan
of action which had been we'll deliberas
ted, and looked forward to the final con.
summation by force if other agencies
failed.
Investigation has shown how the first
steps in the great crime were taken, and
how all the instruments that were used
under the direction of John Sherman and
his onfederates were rewarded with of
lIS anu pdtIOndSSJ WulSh my sNAN az"
enjoying at the public expense. With
that foundation laid, and the false certif
icates in the hands of partisan willing
and even anxious of following the direcN
ton of a caucus as to the mode of count
ing the votes, the conspiracy had reach
ed the point when it must either fail by
resolute resistance or succeed by arrange
ment or by positive force.
That the plot contemplated the contln-
gency Of serious collision and its haz'
ards is known by the manner and the
time in which the troops were collected
at Washington, some Of them from.a dis
tance of more than 1000 miles, all picks
ed, and under charge Of officers chosen
for this special service, with Gen. SherN
man on the spotlo superintend the whole
movement. They were put on a war
footing, telegraphs were erected connec
ing the Arsenal, the Capitol, the war
Department and the White House togeth-
er, SO that with sharp agents at each
point the communication was instantane>
Gus. Every officerwas sworn to secrecy,
and preparations were made for alters
mates that would make American blood
boil with indignation if fully known. 1t

noted General being asked by some ofhls friends
how he liked Texas, replied: "If was obliged to
choose between Hell and Texas, would choose She
former" The above saying is verified every day by
parties moving from the North East and South, and
as they cannot decide exactly to the existence of
the former they certainly avoid Texas and like SEN

sQUARELY ELECTED.

No, indeed, President, you were not
elected by fraud. You were elected hon
estly and fairly. We believe that. Wash
ington himself held his seat by no fairer,
stronger, better title than do you. There
was no fraud in your election. There
may have been fraud on the Republi,
can ticket. We are inclined to think
there was, and it was so near the top
there was no room for another name be-
tween it and the margin. But the elec-
