Sectional Agitation Renewed by

WASHINGTON. December.-The Republi-
cans have determined to force the Southern
question forward at all hazards a party
manGurre, and will make their first move
ia this direction by demanding new laws t.
enforce the constitutional amendments
especially that relating to the suffrage.
This is not the best method for dis
solving the solid South and while it is
keeping her solid may it not disgust the
North with political leaders who are con.
tinuing the sectional strife after the
causes which produced it have passed
away? Sectional agitation may prove to
be a twO-edged sword.

Some Things That OuSht to be

Blaine is preparing a sensation speech on
Southern intim midation. He should bring
out the fact that hundreds of white men
there were arrested and put in prison, from
1870 to 1876, under the military despotism
OF Grant. These citizens were not informed
of the reason for their arrest. but rum ors
were spread that large numbers were to be
put in prisons; and IL was not safe for an
active white man TO make any preparations
Tor the election. These acts of intimmida-
ton, sanctioned by the Republican party.

not be forgotten. Nor should the fact be
ignored that it has been about as much as a
negro's lie was worth for one of them to
vote the democratic ticket.

A class of demagogues in the North,
especially in puritanical Boston, are in
cessantly bowling about the way the ma
tons wards" are treated in the South
They are not educated. They are not
lifted out of the sioughs of ignorance and
vice into purer atmosphere of intelli-
gence and christianity. They are not
permitted to share the administration OF
the government Their faces are
looked into to tell the color of their skins. y
The forced social equality laws passed
during the carp>t bag saturnaiia are not
r-spaated. They are bulldozed at the
elections. These are only part of the
multitudinous crimes of which the
Southern whites are guilty in the eyes
of canting hypocrtes and raging dema-
gogues in that quarter. But let us see
what kind of example they are setting
us. We have before US a copy of the
Boston Herald, by the way first class
newspaper, Just, able and bold in seeing
the truth and telling it as it ia guiding
Pharos in a sea of darkness and this
paper contains a sermon by the Rev.
Henry Morgan, who does not belong to
the canting tribe, but who, like the Her
aid, speaks bold truth boldly. The ser
mon reveals what its reverend author
saw in "Midnight HANDLES in Boston,
aud here is one of the sights:
visited various halls OF North street, and
was surprised TO see there SO many

Sailors have giveo place to refugees-(reed-
men from the south. They seem to have

They run the chief halls. There, i'm the

What sldUery at the South could not do to de-
grade manhood, Uice at the " orth IL more than
doing. | said: 'Ha> it come to this that
men should 50 degrade themselves, be in
deeper slavery in Boston, with free churches

lion men in battle fell, their bones now
bleaching on Southern soil All this for
the negro! But is he worthy? We have
erected monuments throughout the North.
Incurred thousand millions of debt, and
millions of people were made to mourn.
Has it come TO this, then. that freedom
encourages more dissipation than bondage?
Unless the late Abraham Lincoln pre-
varicated, and if the irreversible records
of the government do not falsify, the
statement that the North went to war
with the South to set free the negro, is
an error. His freedom was a result of
the war, not the amin .ting cause of it.
Bot this is not the point we are consider
ing. 1t is the treatment the negro re-
ceives when he goes to Boston to live
among his pretended friends, and what
freedom has done for him judging from
his condition in that latitude according
to the testimony of the Rev. Henry Nor
gan, an eminent Northern minister of
the gospel

The Transportation of Fresh
Meat.

By the Carre-Julien method, meat is
taken to Europe in good condition from
Australia and the Argentine Republic.
Former attempts at such transportation,
under different methods, have been I'M
successful, though meat may be carried
in refrigerating chambers from North
America to Europe. By the new method,
the meat is frozen to the very centre and
carried closely packed on its voyage
at very low temperature, obtained by
the use of ammonia. This plan, from
the intensity of cold it produces, the
compactness of stowage and consequent
large cargoes which it renders possible,
and its greater cheapness, is likely to
supplant all others, and large trade
will probably result from its use. Nut
ton is now taken from the Argentine
Republic to London and sold readily at a
profit OF nine cents On the pound.

FARM AND HOME.
Stock Pests.

Pests now run riot with the stock. The
BOTTLES are perhaps the worst. Wash
their eggs from the legs of horses with
warm water, or scrape them off with s
knife. Protect cattle from the bot-fy,
which lays its eggs on the loins, by
rubbing little crude petroleum on the
backs of the animals. Tar sleeps noses,
to keep the sheep bot-fy from laying
eggs in their nostrils. These means of
prevention will add much to the comfort
OF the animals. By keeping stables clean
and dark the hateful black-fy (stomoxys-
caltricans), in general appearance 80
much like the house-fy, will be less an.

The Orchard in Small Grain.

It not unfrequently happens that
wheat or oats are sown in the orchard
This, of course, is not the best way of
doing, yet from some cause or other, good,
sufficient or otherwise, it is nevertheless
done. The stubble, after the grain is
cut, should the weather be dry and warm,
is capable of rejecting the heat to such
an extent as to endanger the lives of the
tree, especially if they be young. To
avoid such condition. the stubble should
be plowed under as soon as possible after
the grain is harvested. By so doing the
risk of injury from reflection of heat is
not only removed, but the soil is in better
condition to retain moisture, thereby
causing the trees to grow. Young
orchards should never be sown in small
grain. Older ones are sometimes sown
in oats and pastrred down by the hogs
without injurious effects. Glover, how
ever, we think, answer better purpose,
and is more profitable even as food for
swine.--- Journal of Agriculture and

Hon. George Geddes, Paramount, N.
Y, recent showed us on his farm a field
Of twelve acres or more which formerly
was cedar swamp, and before drained
could not be trayersed without laying a
broad plank or board to walk on. The
drains were cut in the first place by
means of plank to support the ditchers,
until the water was sufficiently dis
charged to give them more solid foot
ing. The descent is considerably less
than one foot in hundred. The main
channels are made of six-inch pipe tile !;
thes smaller drains are two. rods apart.
We drove over this field in carriage,
and found it covered with luxuriant
growth of grass of several species, among
which Poa pratensis, or June grass,
seemed to take the lead, the rich soil
imparting to 1t something of the charac-
ter which the same plant assumes where
it 10 known as Kentucky blue grass. A
flock of some hundreds of sheep feeding
on it, had not apparently made much
